Le Pas, Mam, Sept. 17â€"Henry Mc- Kay, 01 Grand Rapids, who arrived in town yesterday brought some fur- ther details of the probable drowning accident in Cross lake in which four men, two of them Winniaeggers, are believed to have lost their lives. It appears that at 10 o’clock Friday morning, just below the Demicharde Rapids on Cross Lake, where the camp of Dunn’s hydrographical‘ sur-y vey party wag pitched, the four men i who belonged to the party had left with the supplies, but- drifted with . the canoe on Smith island in a southeast gale and were not seen: Having noticed that the men ap- peared to have dimculty in steady'mg their canoe, when at a. distance from the land. Engineer Dunn, when the not finding them where they should have landed. went up the eastern shore as far as station three of the work, which he reached at about sun- set. Not finding them there, he re- traced his course in the hope that he would find them at camp, but when he arrived about midnight, they had not returned. The next morning he sent word to Grand Rapids for help and when this arrived, started up the eastern' shore as far as the narrows at the north- ern extremity of Cross Lake, a dis- tance of eight miles.

As Omemee is be- of them, and gLindsay Fair !was a record one for the last day. ! It was predicted on Friday that fthe grounds would contain 9. mon- ILater crowd on the last day. Those 3 who were prevented from coming on . Friday owing to the unfavorable wea- ‘th-er early in the morning, turned {out on Saturday in goodly numbers. The incoming trains were crowded and early in the morning it was seen )that the success of the fair was as- hands arrived from Grand Rapids, and canoeing between the islands and the eastern shore finally came across the upset canoe and some clothes which had been washed ashore which left no doubt that the worst had happened, and that the men, seeing they had no ch'ance to escape, had unclothed themselves in order to be better able to battle against the ele- ments. The names of the missing men are: HUgh W. Cochrane and William Mc- Millan, of Lindsay, Ont., 030. A. White, Winnipeg. and Fred McLennan, Winnipeg. The lake and the river are being dredged in an effort to recover the bodies.

NO REPORTS OF LOB-S OF PARTY Regina, Sept. 17- â€" Commissioner Perry seen tonight with regard to the report that Bishop Newnham’s party had found a wrecked canoe on the Saskatchewan river which it was thought might belong to a Party of surveyors who had gone up the river from La Pas to Grand Rapids, statâ€" ed that so far no‘ reports as to the loss of the party in question had been made to R.N.W.M.P. headquar- ters, although he understood that the mounted police in the district where the canoe was found were main ing a thorough investigation. make Pigeon river again navigable. This will enable the people to get their wood by water and also help the tannery in bringing in tanbark from Cobpconk, and other points north. The people of Omemee are very pleased that this work is being done, as no doubt when completed there will be a local trade between Peter- boro and Omemee. The farmers also will take advantage of the railwa; to bring their cats and other grains to the Peterboro market. The weather in the early part c! SEPTEMBER 19, 20, and 21 Are YOU COMING to the the immense sea of faces on the fair grounds, the grandstand was packed, the people crowded into the main building until it was thought the walls would bulge. Inside of the race track and along the fences thousands took up position, while the midway avenue was choked with a surging mass of humanity. "Looks like Tor- onto Exhibition on a busy day,” said a visitor, who was surprised at the number of people 'present. The directors of Lindsay's annual show have not got to worry over the attendance each year. They are -a§.ways sure of that. Their chief wor- ' ry is the weather conditions. The show has passed the experimental ‘stage, and is now ranked with the Itop notche‘rs in the Dominion. SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS The special attractions on the plat- form were the same as on the pre- 'cedin~g day, and as before mentioned were not of the high standard the édirectors expected. THE HORSE RACES Lindsay has achieved a provincial :reputation for the excellence of the horse races at its annual fair. This is one of the features of the great show, and this year the racing. events 'were better than eVer.

DISPLAY “I did not know Lindsay had an industry that would turn out such excellent goods,” said a Toronto gen- tleman on Saturday afternoon after Eviewing the display of Horn Bros. [woollen mill in the main building. i'I‘he exhibit made by the firm was a bevel-anon to the thousands who . in- spected it. Their goods have earned a ‘ continental imputation and the indus- try is one of which the citizens should not only feel proud, but which should be given every encouragement. SOME FINE HORSES In the horse stable many highly successful breeders were competing for the prizes, and some magnificent animals were shown. A. E. Webster ‘of Oakwood,,had a sweepstakes filly ‘which carried off no less than eight firsts. Mr. Geo. Whitter of Canning- ton had six very fine animals which carried 03 a large number of first prizes.

McNight of Millbrook, with a team of bay geld- ings, and Orme Ball of Springville, with a team of very fine chestnuts. Many others also competed for the ribbon and if not successful in tak- ing home with them it, was because the Competition was very keen and that the prizes could ‘be awarded on- ly to the very cream of the cream. Other competitors were John Sis- son, Cavan, E. Greenaway, Cam‘b’ray, Frank Graham, Ops, Walter Mitchell, Ops, Jas. Brock, Cambray, J. F. Staples, Ida, P. 0., Ed.

Orillia Packet: ' Mr. Walter Maiel, who has been camping on Charley An- nis’ place, Lake Shore, during his about twenty and thirty pounds. Re- cently Mr. Annis himself has caught five fine fish of the same species, crowing the achievements of the seas- on last Saturday with a magnificent lunge weighing exactly forty two pounds. The fish was caught ofl Chip Island, north of Chief’s Island. On the same day and near the same spot Mr. Annis hooked another big fish, which nearly straightened the hooks of the bait and broke loss. The next} largest dish Charley has caught this! season was taken in‘Jul-y, and weigh- ed exactly thirty pounds. ;‘It is not easy to find better water for maski- rnonge fishing than \Lake‘ Couchich'ing, ‘Mr. Annis says, “if one has the right bait.” Referring again to the forty- two-pound fish caught last Saturday evening, 'Mr. Annis says this is the heaviest he has killed in all his fish-é ing experience, excepting one which; he speared in his young and'unregen-l erate days, whexfhe had not the. fear of the law before his eyes. This was‘ about thirty years ago, and the fish weigh-ed forty-five pounds. Mr. Annis 1 thinks the Department ought to get a hint to further stock Lake Couch- . iching with bass, as this is beginning to be needed, erous beasts at the show and in some cases occupied almost the whole of a side of one of the cattle barns. Mr. 8. Stewart’s Highland Grove Ranch at Uphill was well represented in Polled Angus cattle. In Jerseys, Steve Oliver, Lindsay, had the largâ€" est showing. H. C. Hamill of Box- grove, had the stalls on moat of one side of the additions to one of the new buildings. there being seventeen head in all. Mr. Hamill formerly liv- ed near Lorneville-, and was one of the first men in the county to take up Ayrshires. His operations as breeder finally beCame so large that he had to move nearer the city so as to be more in touch with the mar- ket. The herd won all the prizes in that class except one third prize. Two or three of the cattle are full sisters toiseveral world's champions. Cairns and Davidson of Balsam had some very fine Shorthorn calves. Whitby Chronicle: The Orillia. Pack- et, in a two column editorial upon town matters, makes reference to unfair criticism of municipal coun- cils. While untrue or unfair criticism should be avoided, fair criticism should be permitted and expected. Men will differ in opinion, and it is only "natural that a council will make some moves that many rate- payers and the press will disapprove of. Without intending to be unfair the press often criticizes the actions of public bodies. This is all right and aldermen should not object to it, where motives are not impugned or mud-slinging indulged in. The Packet says: has been little inclination to impugn motives. The men who have served the public have been given credit {or acting in what they believed to be the best interests.of the tOWn, and there has been a disposition to supâ€" port them, and strengthen their hands, even on the part of those of contrary opinion, on the principle that ‘those in authority probably knew the whole circumstances better than outsiders. This spirit may have led to the perpetuation of mistakes which a healthy opposition might have corrected; but. it has had much to do in promoting Orillia's progress and is infinitely to be preferred to the other: extreme.” “The spirit of carping criticism is the bane of municipal life in many of the towns of Ontario. Where this spirit prevails there can be no enter- prise and little progress. Good men are deterred from» entering municipal bodies, and if they do essay the un- pleasant task find themselves con- stantly hampered and prevented from doing their best. An almost total absence of this spirit has been one of Orillia’s chief municipal assets. However judgment might difler, there FORTY POUNDER Wm. Manning of- Hartley exhibited about a dam head of Holsteins, R. E. Thurston, Bobcaygeon, also enter- ed some fine looking beasts. Nearly everybody at some time or another during the three days of the fair, made it a. point to pas/ among the cattle and admire the animals.
