Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair is truly a very busy citizen of the city of Oshawa, He is the Liberal Leader for the Province of Ontario and a very active politician in the Legislature and sessions. Ontario Re- 'former of August 28th says:-- Mr. Sinclair "this week com- pletes 25 years of continuous law practice in Oshawa. During 'that time besides his law work he 'has found time to engage in municipal work, having Reeve of Oshawa one year, and ; Mayor for three years, He was Secretary of the Old Athletic Association 'and one, of the or iginators of the present Alex- andra Park scheme. He was Secretary of the Fair for several years, then managing director, and later President. Mr. Sin- clair although now member for South Ontarjo, still attends closely to his office duties, where he now has the assistance of Mr, F. 8. Ebbs. During the last three years he has also carried on farming operations on his farm in itby Township, and eombines business and recrea- tion.

LETTER FROM MR.-JAMES STONEHOUSE We have had a splendid trip, our health could not have been better and the weather conditions could scarcely have been better and our friends so far have been in their usual health and were able and anxious to give us a good time. The ' weather conditions have been such that we have never been prevented from carrying out our program for a single day since we left home. We were very much interested in the completion and opening of the concrete pavement in Port Perry and we are pleased that everything has gone off so well and the whole matter has been brought to such a successful conclusion. I have been watching the pavements in every city we have been in and I find that concrete is coming largely .into favour and especially in British Columbia. A great deal of block pavements have been put down in the prairie cities with very unsatisfactory results. You, doubtless, have heard a good ahout the crops of the western provinces and it is difficult to get a correct idea from the press reports of the atcual conditions. Where the rains came in reasonable time in June or the be: ginning of July the crops are good but we travelled over hundreds of miles through the centre of the provinces where they have practically nothing. The southern part of Alberta and Saskatchewan have some good crops and some in the north but all through the centre there is little or nothing in many places. In coming east we travelled through the two western provinces east of the mountains for 700 miles and never saw a good piece of grain till we came east of Souris in Manitoba, then the ereps began to gladden the hearts of those who hadn't seen a goed crop all summer. Manitoba is blessed this year for there are a lot of fine crops to be seen in every direction. The straw is not heavy but the stands were generally thick and the heads well filled so that the yields are running fairly high, mostly 25 to 35 for wheat with some as high as 40 to 45, but they are the exceptions, Rust struck a lot of the wheat but, as a rule, it . has not done serious damage except in a few cases. Frost did a lot of damage to garden stuff a couple of weeks ago but nothing serious in this part--more in the north. 1 was in one of the finest stands of oats today that I have geen this year and the owner was looking for 75 bushels to the acre, but he won't get a bushel of good oats off the 80 acres. It looks to be a first class crop but for some unknown reason a blight has struck it. There was an awful wind here last Saturday and Sunday which did a lot of damage to standing grain. The majority of farmers are through cutting and the weather having been ideal ever since cutting commenced the grain is in fine shape for threshing and machines are to be seen in every direction and the elevators are all busy taking in wheat and barley. Mrs. Stonehouse and I intend going to Dakota on Monday © next where we expect to spend three or four weeks, then a few days again in Winnipeg before leaving for home where we expect to arrive in time to vote. A new industry has sprung up here during the past couple of years and which bids fair to assume large proportions and that-is bee-keeping. The introduction of sweet clover has made this possible and the clover is playing a double role in providing a crop of honey a large crop of fodder and pasture and then renovating the soil which I would gay is a triple role and I should have added another and that is in subduing sow thistle and quack-grass. Yours truly, James Stonehouse. ment A Generous Gift from Mrs euteniaht-Governor comes to Port Perry Fair Sigtected re by the local Band, decked out in e gift of Mrs. A.

WOODVILLE HAS NEW STREETS On Wednesday of this week, September 10th, Woodville had a formal street opening.

DOO CHANGE IN SCHOOL BOOKS * After being in use for some 15 years, the third and fourth readers of the public schools of the province, will be changed after the first of the year. The public school speller and public school hygiene will also become obsolete. Word has been re- ceived that there will be no change in the public, separate, or high school text books during the coming year. The popular chocolate tinted covers of the readers will pass out to make way for the newer publications. At the same time high school German grammars and German readers will become obsolete, though no explanation for this move is given. The high school English grammar and arithme- tic will also be revised. Revision of the teacher's manuals at an early date is contained in depart- mental advise. The noted pub- lic schodl geography, issued just a year ago and of which so much criticism was made, is now re- ported to have been partially corrected. --North Ontario Times. reese OO CHARGED WITH MISAPPRO- PRIATION OF FUNDS J. A. Rogers, of Whitby, was on Saturday last placed under arrest on a charge of frauduent- ly converting trust funds to his own use, which under the crim- inal Code is theft. The amount involved is $8500. Magistrate J. E. Willis fixed bail at $13,000. This was arranged for on Mon- day. Rogers personally provid- ing $5000 and friends putting up the balance of $8000. He will appear for preliminary hearing before Police Magistrate Willis on Saturday. Jonah White and Arthur Nes- bitt, of Whitby Township, near Brooklin, are the complainants. Mr. White alleges that he gave Rogers $1000 in cash for the purchase of bonds and got his personal receipt for that sum. In the case of Nesbitt it is al- leged that he turned over certain securities to Rogers with the understanding that he was to re- ceive other bonds in their place.

Toronto--After some years of discussion on the subject, servation of its effects in th United ind 1 wholesalers who te | commodity in hundred thou gallon lots. It is said that government will take connection with the new of taxation to see that the con- sumer does not pay more in re- spect of gasoline taxation than the actual two cents levied. Although Hon. G. S. Henry, Provincial Minister of Highways did not specify a gasoline tax in his recent address at the Ex- hibition, he made the statement that the Government will have to. secure additional revenues from motorists with which to maintain the highway system, After due consideration it is understod that the gasoline tax method has received tentative approval over and above a con- sidered move to raise the exist- ing license fee schedule, It has been estimated by the Depart- ment that a two cent tax would bring in from $2,000,000 to $3,- 000,000 additional Provincial re- venue each year. Besides this move to secure additional money for highways construction pw | maintenance, it was also stated authoritative- ly in the same connection that the Government will consider- ably increase the license fee on motor trucks using: highways. While the lighter trucks, it is stated, may escape increase, the eavier machines, which are deemed to provide the greatest wear and tear will have their Provincial taxation raised con- siderably. KINGSTON HIGHWAY WILL SOON BE FINISHED TO TOOLEY'S MILL The work on the new Oshawa- Bowmanville Highway is pro- gressing favorably and every day sees the contractors steadily marching towards the comple- tion of the work. The asphalt top has been laid: on the highway as far as Har- mony and there only remains a short section to complete and the road will be opened to motor- ists as far east as Tooley's Mill. The cement base has been laid as far east as Maple Grove and it will not be long now until this is completed right through to Bowmanville. In 'laying the asphalt top, the hot mixture is brought by truck from Oshawa. It requires some time for the asphalt to harden, after it has been put down, so of course no traffic is permitted over the new surface. For this season the the contractors have to lay the asphalt top in sections, working from the east. With the com- pleting of the short section and the opening of the road as far east as Tooleys Mill, which the contractors expect to be able to do by Friday, they will then commence laying the asphalt at Courtice. At the present time for all through traffic going east, it is necessary to turn south at Har- mony and go down to the old base line, a distance of about 21% miles. When the road is opened to Tooleys Mill, it will be only necessary to drive north there about one quarter mile and take the road straight into Bowman- ville. able saving in mileage for weary motorists. saa: COURT OF REVISION ? for the Township of Reach.
