Prince Albert At the evening service at the Methodist church the Laymen's Mis- sionary Movement was discussed and Messrs Lewis Bond, Frank Jeffrey and Gershom Savage were appointed a committee to look after the sale of tickets for the Missionary Banquet to be held at Whitby on Monday, Nov. 20th, Farmers Still Want Bridge Across Scugog Settlers living contiguous to the Scugog River, on the east and west shores, are still clamoring for the erection.of a bridge at a point opposite or adjacent to Janetville station or another suitable point. The building of such would form closer relations qgetweon the farmers of four townships who reside on either banks of the ziver, The parties who are interested claim that a roundabout trip is re: quired to enjoy social enjoyment bes tween each other; and from a business standpoint, in the shipment of cattle and other products of their farms, it would be an untold convenience when occasion requires them to ship -such products via C. P. R. from Janet station to Toronto and other markets. Objections have been raised against the building of the structure by par- ties farther south, who, express the opinion that the approaches to the bridge, which would consist of filhng, would dam back the water and flood certain lands above high water mark; but this objection seems to have changed of late, and Port Perry. resi- dents would now favor the raising of the Scugog waters and keep the, lake at an even depth all the year round, This being the' case, the greatest ob- jection is partly removed, and there is no reason why in the near future that a good substatial structure will not be placed across the river 'at a: point agreeable to all, and give such trans- portation required for the convenience of the settlers of the four townships. The raising of the waters will add fresh impetus to the fishing in Scugog lake and river, as the water becomes slightly contamihated from decaying aegetable matter parts of the year.

Re Radial Railway To the Editor,-- In the course of our conversation of a few days ago you asked, are' the people in'and around Stouffville in favor of the proposed 1'oronto to Port Perry electric Railway? and if so why? In answering the first question I can safely say that they are. unanimously in favor of a road such asthe one now talked of, and will endevour to explain whyin the following paragraphs. It has been along standing fact that the eastern part of York and the northern part of Ontario county are}. not at present provided with a method of transportation either as rapid or as satisfactory as would be furnished by the electric propelled cars: Look at the distance one must fraversein order to get from Port Perry to 'Stouffville or Newmarket in comparison with that of a direct lime between these points; I think the people of all these centres of population would appreciate a road with such a superior service. Then again it is generally conceded that electric power is the ideal one for the farmer, now should an' electric road passing through the rural districts consume say sooo H. P, .does it. not stand to reason that the tiller of the soil would obtain his power cheaper rate then otherwise. Not only should the question of cheaper power appeal to the rural districts but manufacturies which we all agree are the upbuilding of most of our smaller towns would receive attention never given them be- fore; Also 'increased transportation facilities would enhance the value of real estate though and near which the line passes: - . .° oi How often do we hear the question; How are we to keep our boys and girls on the farm? have we not here at least a partial solution to the difficulty, for should many of the luxuries of the} city be brought right to our door . city: life would not appeal to the: young people as being so much in advance of that in the country, © OF the lines surveyed so far the one which appeals most strongly-to me is one goingedst from Stouffville through | Altona and Claremont and Glen Major where the road survey I believe would bring other suggested up to the p 0.
