The Lindsay visitors to Vaicartier state that‘the members of the Lind~ say contingent are in excellent spir- its and are all anxious to get to the Lieut.-Col. S‘sillington, chief medi- cal recruiting oflicer, zhas r-:-ported that the work of examining the men is now practically over. In all 30,500 men have been examined, and ap- proximately 2,’700 have failed to qualify. The calibre of the men Can be illustrated in no more eIOquent fashion than by pointing to the re- markable health of the camp and its almost unbelievable low mortality rate. During the last three weeks a- mong over 33,000 men there have been but three deaths, or one in ten thousand. At the parade last Sunday 23,000 men <were soaked to the Iskin byga heaVy rain, yet only‘a‘few odd cases of illness from colds and k-in- dred complaints resulted. Half Dr. Shillington’s stafi has been relieved of duty. The selection of Valcartier,;3 beau- tiful little hamlet in the Laurentian Mountains, as the site [of a concent- ration Camp for the Canadian expev ditionary force to Belgium, has a strange significance not generauy known. V'alcartier is a military set- tlement, founded neariy a century a- go by soldiers of the British army. This is attested by the fact that in its little cemetery lie.buried no few~ er than nineteen veterans (fl VVater- loo. Their descendants .to this day are noted for their military bearing. How‘strange it seems that this se-i eluded spot should have been by? chance selected for the gathering tmg gether of an army of the youth oi; Canada, who will'soon have an of) l portunity of doing their duty to theé great empire, whose protection has! given us the peace and prosperity which we have enjoyed for a century and perhaps upon the same ground of Waterloo fighting once more to free the peoples of Europezfrom ‘miliâ€" I tary tyranny. i say contingent its and are all front.

The result is that the men who have successfully passed the doc tors, and there are over 28,000 of them, are as fine a, body as could be gathered together anywhere. It will be a force of which the Dominion will be proud. UNDSAY BUY 10. REPRESENI ‘YMA WHH BANADIAN IflflflPS IN [UHIJPE Mr. John Pearson, of H-aliburtoni and formerly of Lindsay, was in tom: today.

In the crop dis- tricts west of Morse, Elbow and Rosetown, the- production of oats will not be sufficient for loCal re- quirements to seed or feed. In fact“: oats and barley will have to be shipped in. Some wheat will also be required for seeding. From the esâ€" timate of crop based on thrashing returns, 13 bushels a: wheat, 20‘ bushels of barley would seem to be the probable yields. About half of Saskatchewan's wheat crop was grown in Districts 1 and 2 in the southeast part of the Province.

SEPTEMBER 18, 1914 In the' construction of the darn about two thousand barrels of ce- ment and twenty-five hundred cubic yards of gravel were used. Altogeth- er $47,000 has been granted for the work by the Government, but with the improvements on the original plans and other necessary expendi- tures above the estimates that are almost inevitable in connection with! works of this kind, it is safe to say 1 the total cost will be $55,000. ‘1 The completed work reflects great credit on Mr. Alex. Spence, who has had charge of the work for the Govâ€" ernment, and also on the contract- ors, Messrs. McPhee Kehoe, of Brechin.â€"â€"-Gazette. The new Government dam just I hove the falls is now almost comr- ipleted, and is a most decided im- lprovement on the old wooden struc- [ture that served in its place for so 1many years. The length of _the new dam is 325 feet between the abut- ments. It consists of twelve large were, with grooves in either side for holding the stop-logs. A platform runs from end to end above the sluic- es connecting the piers. The platform and piers are built entirely of rein- forced concrete. On the platform a track .is laid for the purpose of con- veying the machinery necessary for adjusting the stop-logs. While the department does not at all admit that because a prisonerIis willing to fight againstmnother coun try he should therefdre be not re- quired to expiate afiences against his own, it is recognized that there are many Cases where such clemency might well be extended. To a limit.- ed extent this is being done and prisoners who have found their way into duress rather by force of un- fortunate circuxfistances than.” \a result of a hardened, criminal nat- ure, are, in certain cases, being giv‘ en their freedom on condition that they volunteer. The difficulty is, however, in being surevthat those re leased will adhere to their intention, and that they will be accepted as yeâ€" cruits. It is understood that if the; department released all those who make such application a fainliélfe- spectable forceâ€"in size, at least; could be formed from the material thus obtained.
