The oheese factory that was established here three years ago has so imereased in capacity. that its present quarters are proving al- most inadequate. Mr. N. Norman the enterprising manager informs us that The cheese output this seasom wilt. be in the neighborhood of 150 tons, An- othen institution is the H. BE. Ratz Company heading factory which lays out annually from $30,000 to $40.00, for timber and has in the yards huge piled of heading material ready to be manufactured. Carprenters are at present busily engaged in erecting an addition 150x18 feet which will be devoted to the manufacture of heac- ing and staves. New machinery for the mamufacture of the latter is now on the woad and will be placed in the course of a few weeks. When _ the work is eompleted which will about Deo. ist it is expected that about 40 hands will be employed. The factory here is under the foreman- ship of Mr. James Ratz. In addition toe the factory two \splendid brick houses have 'been ereoted and the material is on the ground for -- the building of another. Mr. John P.

'i : ---- a e One feature of the preliminary trial | in London of Dr. Crippen on the charge of having murdered his wife is referred to iby. several leading newspapers in the United States as) illustrating an important difference between British and United States proceedure in criminal trials. The expert evidence. which was of the greatest importance in the prelimin- ary trial and on which. it is probable more than wpon any other evidence. Dr. Crippen's fate will be determin- ed, was givem as it will be given at "the fimal vial. by Dr. Pepper. Government official. whose duty it is to be absolutely impartial and who has no interest in favoring either the pnosecution or the defence, Says the Boston Post: "What a wefreshing contnast to our own system of expert bestimany! If a Crippen were .on trial over here we would have the spectacle af a lot of eminent medical gemtlemen swearing that in their unalterable opinion the remains found in the cellar of the «prisohers' house were those of a woman: another lot swearing they were those of a man. and possibly still another sure they were neither. to the utter confusion of the jurors who could hardly be blamed for believing that the most trustworthy expert was the one rep- utation of commanding the fattest fees. We can learn something from old England in this matter of expert testimony." . Nothing could be 'more manifestly absurd than the permitting of two seta of medical experts to swear to exactly opposite conclusions simply because they are hired to do so," eeee0 'The Lucknow Sentinel ruts st straight and true when it says;--"The law that forbids, or levies a charge upon, the eonveying of goods from one side to amother of an inter-nat- ional boundary line denies the natur- al rights of men. If farmer Brown of Ontario wishes to buy a wagon from Manufacturer Jones of Cleve- land and ibring it into the country. his meighbors have no right to deny him that privilege. 'There is uo prin- ciple of right and wrong on which they can doso. Laws have nothing to da with making actions moral or im- Just laws aim to protect mer But there at: of monal, in their natural rights. unjust laws that deprive men these rights. A law establishing flavery is ome of these, A law that prevent one man from trading with another. whether across an internat- ional boundary line or not, is another. Between 'swindling' the state by smuggling and robbing one's neighbor there is mo. parallel. When the state imposes an import duty it robs the importer. and the smuggler, in evad- ing the duty. merely evades a robber. He keeps his own and both have their wvights. If he robs his meighbor. the neighbor is wronged. ADVICE NOT APPRECIATED Toronto Saturday Night Mr. E. B. Osher was recently inveig al Estimates of the ~ |-forest _ fires which s veral small towus and raging, range all the way to 200. The property loss will amount well up into the millions, The fire zone covers an area of 85 miles in Jength. from the 'gravel pits west of Warroad to Stratton. the wiped out se are still from 150 to 'fourth station east of Rainy River. and in width about 30 miles. covering all. the territory between R2d Lake amd the Lake of the Woods - The fires have wiped out the vil lages of Baudette. Spooner. Pitt. My: ron and Malcolm. The last two nam ed places are small settlements ir Bell Tnamie County. south of War- road. : - ; The greatest property loss occurred at Baudette and Spooner. which is. approximately one county. being sep- anated by a narrow river. The oth- en towns consisted of only a few small buildings. _ : y There were hundreds of homes des- troyed in the territory. and aa there are mo roads in the district! save for the tnails through the woods, it is thought that many lives have been lost that will mot be reported _ for weeks. 2 The State of Minnesota is no expense to check the fire. sparing The mas here and in other places. and he is instructed to use every possible means at his command, regardless of eost. Every mam available is fight- ing the fires. but because of the moss which covers the ground for a depth from one to two feet, it seems impos- sible to do anything. If the blaze is fanned by\ a breeze all efforts to check it are-futile. and it is only where it is creeping along the ground that any attempt is made toa head it off. To do this it is neces- sary to dig wide and deep trenches. Five thousand people in Rainy Riv- er and vicinity on Monday thought they would mever see another sun- tise. They were the two thousand residents of this town and the three thousand or more refugees quartered here. At two o'clock the wind sprung up. with a suddenness which was ap palling. the town started to burn in a dozen places or more. The men or- gamized into a corps of guards. rush- ed to the flames, but the velocity of the wind increased. and the efforts even with the recently installed high pressure water system proved of no avail. The women screeched and groaned on the streets. Children ran terror- stricken to their parents while mev appealed to the Almighty for assist- nmee. Then. with the same sudden- mess with. which it had risen. the wind dropped to a calm. The men gained heart and oon the fires were under control. Beaudette Minn.. is just acnoss the river from Rainy River. and to that town came all day Monday charred corpses by ithe wagonload. Many of these are in such condition that iden- tification will be impossible. To add to the horror of the situa- tion vandals arrived and at once he- gan their work. But shortly. after came a detahement of 30 United Stat- es militiamen from Duluth and Mayor Williams issued orders to shoot ma- rauders without trial. The vandais departed. but last might there was an attempt to dynamite a bank, but the robbers escaped under a volley by the police. CANADA'S MINERAL WEALTH From the Montreal Witness A horse is reported to haive uncoy- ered a seven foot seam of 'anthracite coal in British Columbia. on the line Gama Trunk Pacific. the other day. and Canada, some day. promises to be one of the world's great coal-produc- ing countries. It is wonderful great and. how universal is the stor- age of coal for the use of man. In- stead of falling off. the output great- ly inereases increases from year to year and outruns in value all other led into giving advice about a Cen temnial Exhibition at Winnipeg in cellebnation of the first settlement of Manitoba by Lord Selkirk's party Mr. Osler being a straightforward main was frankly against the proposal He said that Buffalo and Spokane had mot recovered from the after-effect of the expositions held at those cities within the past few years. He point- ed out that Winnipeg at the present time had barely enough hotel accom- modation for the many, guests which her prosperity had 'brought within her gates. He reminded Winnipeg that to entertain a vast flood of vis- itars she would require a considerable Gitation plants. All these assertions seem to be true. and inasmuch as Mr. Osler is a direotor of the O.P.R. which would be the chief beneficiary of fWonld's Fair at Winnipeg it would appear to tbe disinterested. But poor Mr, Osler is 'being assailed as a man so Villainous that he would _ steal candy from a child. Does Mr, Osler think the (West ig going to the dogs? they ask. Is jhe so blind. perverse and supercilious as 'to think that Winnipeg cannot succeed where ev- ery other city om the continent has Gailed? Altogether Mr. Osler finds himself in the position of a man who advises a friend not to get married after the engagement ring is bought and the wedding day fixed. He is branded as a pessimistand cynic just because he happened to be in posses- sion of «ertain facts about the effect of World Fairs on civie prosperity and was indisereet enough to impart them when requested to do so. 'NO APOLOGY IS NECESSARY. The funny fellows who provide copy for the comic papers have made the @ollector of 'bills a target for their pumgent wit and satire. Quick--al- most too quick for our own good-- we Canadians are keenly! appreciative of humor. and so when we are about to collect money which is due us we pre- face our requesh for settlement with a mild apology for making it. Apology! There should be no ,apol- ogy. No apology is mecessary or right when asking a man for money due. To spend time in eooking up other reasons for asking for money when there is a one and sufficient reason that money is due is a waste of ef- fort which shows a mistaken viewr 'point. , Don't apologize. Ask for it! SOME LARGEST THINGS IN CAN- : ADA Oakville Star Canada has the largest wheat field in the world, the largest clevator and the largest mill. The largest lift lock in the world is at Peterboro'. The longest bridge span is being built at Quebec. Tho largest railway yard in 'the Empire is at Winnipeg. and the largest colleries in the world ane at Nova Scotia, Oanada has the most prolific and extensive sea fish- aries in tha world, the largest silver. nickel and copper mines and the thickest known coal seem in the extension of her waterworks and san-! mining products. Thus, } 1908 the world product of coal was | 1,063.000,000 tons. the value being es- i timated at more than $2.047,500,000, | while the total output of gold was 21,000,000 ounces, of $447500.000 value. ; The total number of persons engaged }in mining and quarrying during 1908 exceeded 5.800.000. according to a | British Blue Book just issued. cf which about 1.150.000. were employed in the United Kingdom. and neanly two mil- lions in the British Empire. More \than half the number wag employed in getting out coal. Of the gold pro- duced in the year. the British Empire supplied nearly 60 per cent.. and the United States 22 per cent. In -- the production of iron the United States at the present time is considerably nhead. Germany coming next. and |Gnreat Britain third. Canada, how- lever, may some day be in the race to \tie the United States in the produc- | tion of iron. as-she has illimitable raw | materials, and has also water powers | far exceeding in capacity any other 'poubtry. In the production of sil- ver, too. Camada may soon be in the vam, as she is already in the third place. having advanced from seven- th place since 1902. What good or otherwise that will do Canada and the world is another matter. 'he in- preasing production of gold and sil- ver, must howéver, further disturb commodity values. and call for dras- tio readjustment of the coinage. CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES London Advertiser Our American cousins have accept- ed with good i@nace their reverse in the fisheries dispute. The submission of the ease im arbitratiom wad in, it- self a meighborly act. a.token of a new aittitude toward this country. It would not be meeting them in this spirit to bang «and bolt the door against their overtures for reciproc- ity. In consenting to 'at least dis- cuss the matter the Camadian Gov- ernment commits itself or the coun- try to nothing. 'The Washington Gov- ermmment knows that Canada occupies a strong position and can neither be wheedled nor threatened into conces- sions. For the first time in over half a century Washington is disposed to give as well as take, For the first time in over 'half a century Canada is able to exact full 'returns for any favors. The Government of Canada has no intention of committing suicide | by making a present of the Canadian market to American manufacturers.

The obstinate man was-a small red-faced fellow, appar- ently a heavy drinker. He held out for conviction, and declared that he} was ready to stay there as long as the next one. Every now and then he would lean over and suck the head of a small 'bamboo cane he carried, Finally the jurymen began to make ready for a night of it. The little man soon fell asleep over his cane and, when he went further into the Land of Nod the stick dropped to the floor. Members of ithe jury picked it up and were about to return it. when they discovered that it was filled with whiskey. and very good whiskey too. They passed it round, each tak- ing a sip. Of-a sudden the little man awakened, and reaching for his cane httempted-to susk more "oil of joy" from the bead, He was very thirety but found 'the cane empty. After thinking some time he said; "Boys I believe I've chamged my mind, . Pll vote for acquittal. Let's hurry." RosrOCK. Miss Holmes Sunday -- in Stratford. Mr. Ed.
