LARGE INCREASE IN SHIPMENTS. One more jllustration of the great and increasing value of the British market to Canada is given in peach export figures for the past season. The practicability of shipping Canadian peaches to England was first tested by the Department of Trade and Com- merce in 1910 The experiment proved successful and succeeding shipments have found a ready market. This year the weather conditions wero regarded as unfavourable and peach exporters were in some doubt as to the likelihood of the Canadian peaches reaching the British market in good condition. The results have, however, been most sSatis- | factors 2nd jivepects are good for a y large trade with Great Britain iu Canadian peaches in the future. The, peach shipments for the past three seasons were as follows, showing a notable increase for the percent year : 1910--3.743 single layer cases. 1811--3 984 single layer cases. 1912--8,548 single layer cases. tr ee A Minority President. The Glabe and The Star were much annoyed at The News for saying that President-elect Wilson failed to secure a majority of the popular vote. They were even disposed to deny that fact because it interfered with their claim that the American pation had declared oyerwicl ingly for a radically reduced tarift and that the English-speaking world inclines more and more 10 re- ject protection. The present estimate that Wilson secured 1,000,000 less votes than Roosevelt and Tait together, and that the Domocrats polled only 46 Gevernor Wilson 'would not have done even that well had he not under- taked to handle the fiscal question so carefully as not to interfere with the sising prosperity of the country. It was by the help of a similar promise that Laurier ares power io 1896. When after sixteen years the Canadian statesman forgot his pledge and struck ut the National Policy by negotiating the Washington agreement, the Canadian people respond»d by defeat- ing his Government. Both his countr; and the United States are determined- ly opposed to tarifi-for-revenuc-only and free trade theories. This was clearly demonstrated by last yeai's jgesiora) election in this country, and y last Tuesday's popular vote in the republic. Atv the same time the Ameri- ean tariff is far too bigh and requires revising d6woward. "News.

PW 3. West, MA. Many will regret to learn that St. John's Presbyterian Gongregation, Port Perry has extended a unani- ous and cordial call to Rev. W. J: est, M. A, the ular pastor of Knox Church, Bluevale, for the past fifteen years. The reverend gentle- man has a splendid record as a preacher and pastor, and his pro- gressiveness m church building, and improvements to church pro- perty are generally recognized. His services as Clerk of Maitland Pres- hytery were most efficiently per- ormed, Mrs. West has very energetically seconded her husband in many avenues of usefulness. The desire of securing High School advantages would be the induce- ment to accept a call. Bluevale and Eadies would be sorry to say goodbye to Rev. and Mrs. West. He certainly deserves a good pro- motion as be is a persistent and consistent worker. A Juoicious SEeLECTION.-- The Dean of the Faculty of tducation, the other day, selected Mr, Clarence Vickery, out of an attendance of over three hundred students, to take the Mathematics of the High School at Caledonia, during the illness of the principal of that school. Mr. Vickery is certainly to be con- gratulated on his preferment. It is also highly complimentary to the sterling qualities of Mr. Geo. Stone, teacher of wathematics of Port Perry High School under whose tuition the young man graduated. Mr. H. G. Abbott, of Ludington, Michigan, while on a flying visit to Port Perry the other day made THE Us- SERVER a pleasant call.

In any case it is dear hunting. The woods are full of hunters. At Collingwood, tou, the fuel dealers have adopted the prompt cash system.

On the assemblage being seated, the Reeve of the town, Geo. Gerow, Esq, was called to the chair. The chairman on taking the chair, in a few appropriate remarks, returned thanks for the . Huron)d honor conferred by company, He now spoke in eulo- gistic terms of the guest ol the evening, of his personal knowledge of the commendable traits he possessed, of his wonderful capacity of transacting public business as it should be; of his qualification as a legislator at the County Coun- cil and of his faculty of 'Sccomplish. ing any object he had in view in an unostentatious manner, and af the same time resulting tothe advantage of the municipalities concerned; o his almost indiscribable efficiency and tact in transacting his business affairs so that his patrons were constantly increasing in numbers and their unbounded admiration of his integrity resulted in the further increase of patronage until his mills were daily, literally besieged by a constant stream of the bone and sinew of our yeomanry of this entire district as well as the citizens of our villages, and success has crowced every undertaking that Mr. Carnegie embarked in; of his public spiritedness and his devotion of time and money to the best interests of this entire community. He has also been the largest employ- er in this section and has constantly engaged a staff of experts in the several lines of his business ; it being his object, at all times, to produce the best regardless of expense. His practibility in all matters pertaining tothe resources and output of his industries was the King-pin of his sucegess, while his observation and unrelentiessnessin scrutinizing every minutiae were manifestations of his desire and determination that all products should be as near perfecti- on as possible. That he has estbb lished a business which for magnitude andsolidity is highly creditable to him, and that he richly deserves a respite fram his activities is readily admitted by all, and it is the wish and desire of all that his Southern trip may prove beneficial in every respect and that both he and the amiable partner ol his life, will long live to enjoy the bounteous recom- pense accumulated owing to their persevering industry and frugality. The Chairman next called for speeches from the other gen- tlemen present when about twenty respooded all of whom heartily endorsed the sentiments already expressed and vied with each otherin adding their quota of praise to the many commendable traits possessed by the guest of the evening, and all present heartily endorsed the remarks made, and at the close of each speech the plaudits were rapturous. At the proper time Mr. Hutche~ son stepped forward and read the following address which was a formidable document, elaborately got up, at the same time presenting the guest with a 'magnificent Club Bag.

The In%srde- {nowinational Ministerial Association of of Toronto gave a ready assént when the proposal was laid before them, and they have fixed upon Suudav, Decen- bar, 1st, as tbe day upon which they will seek to awake the interest an and sympathy of their congregations in the nobls work being done to succor needy consumptives, stay the ravages of the disease, educate the public in preventative /measures and finally stamp out the scourge of tuberculosis. A gen- eral appeal issued to the clergy of all denominations in Ontario is meet with a cordial response, and in hund- reds of pulpits the sermons of Dec. 1st will be devoted to this vitally impor- tant subject. The active co-operation of the churches of the province should result in a mighty impetus being given to the war upon tuberculosis in Ontario.

Seeks New Uses for By- ! Product, Cobalt, Nov. 8.--An investiga tion is now mn the hands of the Dominion Government under the charge of an expert matallurgist and chemist, which if sucéessful will be one of the greatest boous to the:Cobalt camp outside of its rich silver deposits. This is the series of expériments being conducted with a view to increasing the com- | mercial "value of 'cobalt, whicy to-day is used almost solely for its value as"a coloring product.' The Cobalt camp although prim- arly a silver mining district, - pro- dices enormous quantities of cobalt and if the market value were sufficient could produce a vast amount more. Under the present conditions, however, the smelters refuse to pay anything for the cobalt and nickel contents of the regular Cobalt camp ores. The character of the investiga- tion - being coaducted now is classified as follows: --(a) Aon ex perimental investigation of the metal cobalt and its alloys; (b)a study of she present status of the cobalt industry; (c) an invertiga- tion of pickle-in.copper alloys. The Dominion Government believes that cobalt alloys may be discovered which will placeit on a level with nickel in industrial nse, and if this can be accomplished Cobalt, Gow- ganda, Elk Lake, South Lorrain, and other silver mining sections of the north will proiit enormously.
