It was apparent that since the demise of his wife, on Sep- tember 1st of last year, he gradually declined, but was able to attend to his business, until Saturday, 17th last, when he complained of illness. Since that time he has been steadily sinking, and passed peacefully away at an early hour this morning. On January 1, the United States will begin to give something in] the zway of a parcel post service. It will .not be a great deal, but it will be a .step in the right direction. The im- portant thing is to get the parcel post‘service once established; in the nature of things, it must develop: ex- tend and improve. The deceased gentleman, who was sixtyâ€"nine years of age, was born in the vicinity of Nenagh, Tipperary, lreland, the youngest of a family of six. When an infant he came to Can- ada, with his parents, who located in the southern portion of the pres- ent city. In 1849 the family removed to Ennismore, returning in 1866 to Peterborc and residing therein ever since. On April 21st, 1873, the late Mr. O’Brien was married to Miss Honorah Cregan, who Dredeceased him, as already mentioned. There were two children of the marriage, William James, Who died in Febru- ary, 1895, and theJRev. Fr. .M. J.O'â€" Brien, D.D., rector of the Sacred Heart Church. The compromise measure finally agreed upori by congress and approv- ed by the president, bears the name of Senator Bourne. It materially re- duces the domestic rates upon fourth class matter. Today in the United States, as in Canada, there is aflat rate of sixteen cents per pound; the Bourne amendment substitutes thereâ€" for a sliding scale of rates, based upon distance, rising from five cents to twelve cents per pound. The weight limit, now four pounds, is in- creased to eleven pounds. things, charitable to any commend- able object. and although naturally reserved in manner, anything he unâ€" dertook was executed with Christian- like determination and example. It was by example. that he taught his sons their first. lesson in- temperance. The late Mr. O’Brien was a mem- ber of years standing, and! a Past President of the C.M.B.A. He was an active member of the St. Peter’s T.A.S. from its foundation and on the formation of the Sacred Heart church became a charter member of the T.A.S. of that institution. The funeral will leave the family residence at 9 o’clock on Friday morning and proceed to the Sacred Heart Church and from thence to St. Peter’s cemetery for interment. The Rev. Dr. O’Brien will say Mass, and His Lordship Bishop O'Connor will officiate at the Absolution. We think the zone system of rates is a poor device, and that the flat rate which has made the postal ser- vice so generally successful, should apply to the parcel post. The ‘ weight limit of eleven pounds is absurdedly low, and should be increased at least tenfold. PARCEL POST PETERBORO MAN IS COMING Thursday evening when the Hali- burton train was nearing the station gseveral cars left the track when in !the vicinity of the goosen-eck for sup- gplying water to the engines at the Fwest end of the station. One car iswung clear across the line and traf- ific was blocked-for over three hours. The Lindsay auxiliary was called to replace the cars on the rails. Save Doctors’ Bills V But, as we have said, the Bourne bill is a beginning, and we believe that the parcel post system will rap- idly develop in the United States. It may involve expropriating at high priCes a. good deal of junk now owned by the express companies, but the people of the country will not rest until they get as good a service as that which is found in Great Britain and Germany. Canada must not lag behind the United States in this matter, we should rather go ahead, Because we are in a position to have a service organized at once by British officials with expert knowledge and long ex- perience. Postmaster General Pellet- ier should at once reduce the rate on- fourth class matter from sixteen cents to twelve cents a Pound and increase the weight limit from four pounds to eleven pounds, thus putt- iné the domestic service upon an equality with the international ser- vice.-â€"Toronto World.

The Port Hope train for To- ronto and the eight o’clock train from the city had to switch around the wreck through the yards in order to get by and consequently lost over half an hour.

Dry Dock At Prince Rupert An interesting report has just been received at Grand Trunk System headquarters in Montreal upon the G.T.R. dry dock and marine termin- als now under constructiOn at Prince Rupert, which reads as follows‘ “Prince Rupert Is approximately 550 statute miles north .of Vancouver about half way between that point and Skagway, Alaska. Being the Pa- cific terminal of the Grand Trunk-Paâ€" cific Ry., and strategically located as‘ it is it will unfoubtedly be one of the most important sea ports on the Pacific coast. With this in view the G.T.P.' Co. retained the services of ‘Messrs. F. W. Kirby and W. T. Don- engineers on the. continent. to go thoroughly into the question of re- nelly, two of the best.known marine quisite" facilities for the care of ship- ping interests in view of the future of Prince Rupert. After taking careful and thorough investigation Messrs. Kirby and Don- nelly drew up plans for a dry dock and ship repair plant, and submitted the same to the Railway company with the result that, in May of this year, construction work was com- menced for a plant that will be with- out an equal on the Pacific Coast. WASHING WHITE The poultry shows are near :11: hand and to those who exhibit white breeds of poultry a few words on washing the birds will no he amiss. Take a good sized bath, large enâ€" ough for the bird to be put i:1,and half fill it with water heated to 105 degrees. The water should cover the bird when laid down in the bath. Soak the bird well, using a sponge; then rub soap on with a soft nail brush until you cannot see the bird’s body for lather, keeping it out of its eyes. Rub it through and through the feathers, using more soap until all the dirt appears to be removed. Then have some clean, lukewarm waâ€" ter heated to about 75 degrees in or ‘_her vessel, and rinse and rinse 1m ,.1 all the soap is removed. So important is this that cold water must be used if lukewarm does not remove all the soap. The feathers will not web properly unless this is done. Dry the bird in front of a, hot clear fire. The cage or basket should be so arranged that it will reflect In this,connection it will be of inâ€" terest to briefly describe the harbor of Prince Rupert. To the east of Dix- on’s Entrance, Brown’s Passage leads to Chatham Sound and across this to the east between Digby and Kaien Islands lies the harbor which, previously to 1906, was known as Tuck’slnlet. This harbor is formed by Kaien Island on the south and east, Tsimpsean Peninsula and Digby Island on the north and west, The entrance is about half a mile wide at its narrowest point, and one of the most easily entered on the coast. It is entirely unobstructed, and is about nine or ten miles in length, and from three quarters of a mile to In addition to the dry dock pro- per, the following accessories will be built: An adequate shore plant, comprising an electric power generat- ing plant; an air compressor plant; a machine shop, boiler and black- smith shop,_ foundry, construction sheds, coal handling plant, and .two piers, each 400 feet long. The shore plant will be constructed first. Since May work has been confined to the building of piers and platforms, and rock filling. Construction will be kept up continuously until compleâ€" tion, which will probably be in 1914. 'This- plant will be of inestimable be- nefit to the North Pacific country and shipping trade generally as, at the present time, the nearest dry dock and marine repair works are over 500 miles away. a. mile and a half in width. The Prince Rupert shore is rocky, falling of! rapidly to a depth of approxim- atelt twenty fathoms; For this reas- on the wharves on this side have to be built along the shore line without slips. Hay's Cove, the mouth of Hay's Creek, was determined to be the most suitable place for the dry dock, and the plans have been made according- ly. The dock Will be of the floating pontoon type with a. lifting capacity of 20,000 tons. It Will be built in three sections which can be used sep- arately, as three docks, if required. There will be twelvepontoons in all, built of wood, and treated to~resist tornadoes. The wings will be of steel, In the opinion of experts this com- bination of woo-d and steel in a. float- ing dock is the most desirable type, and the most easily maintained. There will be twenty-four 12 inch cen- trifugal pumps used with a capacity of 5,000 gallons per minute each, the entire lot "taking one and a half hours to pump the dock out. FOE].
