JOB PRINTING THE MOST MODERN STYLES ....AND AT LOW PRICES Only Paper Printed and Published In Port Perry, PORT PERRY, JAN. 25, 1906. 4 Most refreshing after what we bave become accustomed to in Ontario, was the declaration made by the Hon. J. W. Hanna that Queen's University will receive fair | consideration of its claims by the Government whether it returns. a supporter or not. There need be fear that a minister who has the courage to make such a statement in the midst of a campaign will not carry it out. Mr Hannah has giv en a distinct blow to one of the most depraving influenges in our public life. His conduct will form a precedent which should help to shame public men out of the prac-| tice of holding out the prospect of the local expenditure of the public money as a bribe toa constituency, With the public accounts for year ended 29th June last deputy-minist- er Gourteny gives in exceedingly "guarded language his views on tne financial position of the "Dominion. ~ He notes thé continual increase of 'the public debt.

As theamount of note cur rency a bank is allowed to issue bears a direct relation to its paid up stock, it is apparent that by this en- largement of its share capital the Bank of Commerce was put in a much better condition to take part in the rapidly enlarging business of the whole Dominion. The paid-up capital is now ten million dollars. Port PERRY BRANCH. If the several branches, or for that matter the Head Office of the institution, is managed on the same correct business principles which govern the business transacted at the Port Perry Branch there is no wonder at the prosperity of the Canadian Bank of Commerce both in the Dominion as well as in for. eign countries where its popularity and success is the envy of all money- ed institutions.

London, Jan, 19.--The Times prints a two-column review of the Alberta and Saskatchewan elections and a column editorial thereon. It says the autonomy Acts seem hard to harmonize with the principles Sir Wilfrid Laurier formerly pro- fessed, and the traditional creed of ian; Libe t dangers no doubt exist in the déyelopment of these magni ficent territories, but they -aré in. avitable in the growth of the Empire andthe Impesidl instinct is shown in overcoming them."

Amherstburg, Jan. 22.--Mr. John Auld, M.P.P., believes that the County Councils can be dispensed with. About the only = business transacted by the County Councils, he says, is equalization of assess- ments, and in numerous counties speciai commissions have to be ap- pointed to do this work. He be- lieves that the entire business done by County Councils could be done as well by the different municipal Councils in each county, and the taxpayer be relieved of the expense, of the present body. He will advo- cate this at next session. ese Hamilton, Jan. 17.--The ecredit- ors of James Stinson, of Chicago, the proprietor of the defunct Stin-- son's Bank, in this city, held a meeting at the Board of Trade rooms yesterday afternoon.
