JOPP. of Moosi- rain, finds lault with some of our correspondents who report visitors from Manitoba and the territories as daply from the .. West‘." Manitoba he says is only a small' province of the Great West, and readers eitherin the province or the territories would prefer to have correspondents or even the editor more specific in locating the homes of our western visitors. We little realiZe what pleasure it is for readers away from home to hear about their one time friends through the columns of their local paper. In this way correspondents have a great opportunity of spreading their ben- elcent influence over the; whole world. A FEW days ago Mr. Thomas Fulâ€" ton. of Hampden, gave us acall to renew his subscription and in the course of a few minute’s conversa- tion he told us of a recent trip to Ireland and the singular way in which he met his sister whom he had net seen from the time she‘was a mere child. He was going from the ntatiOn with a woman who was a stranger to him in search of his sis- ters place. when to his astonishment nhe enquired if he was Thomas Fal- ton from America. Replying in the afirmative. she informed him that ahe was his sister and thus the strange meeting occurred. We must imagine the sequal, but evidently the meeting was mutually agreeable from the delighted way in which Mr. Fulton tells the story. “’1: spent a very pleasant half hour on baturday last with Mr. R. B. Irvine. of Greniell, who is over here now visiting many of 'his former lriends. It’s about twelve or thir- teen years since Mr. Irvine went west and during that time he has ac- cumulated considerable preperty. be- ing now owner of about seventeen hundred acres of good farming land, all of which he has under cultivation or uses for grazing purposes. Four years ago Mr. Irvine visited this part and sees great improvement in Dur- ham in the interval. He and his son went to South Africa a couple of years ago and enjoyed the trip very much. Hrs. Irvine is with him on a visit with her friends and relatives near Holstein. He didn’t call to pay his sub. because he always keeps that paid. but he left some money that was sent by Mr. James Morrison who we are glad to know is doing well out in that country.

THE GREAT WORK GOING ON IN MUSKUKA. An Asthmatic’s Story Told. Dear Friend,â€" It again becomes necessary to make an urgent appeal [or funds for the Free Hospital for Consumptives. A very heavy debt is pressing upon the trustees. In addition to this, funds must be provided for the maintenance of patients. Last month there was a deficiency of nearly $1,500 over and above receipts from all sources. 1,000 patients have been cared for in the two Muskoka Hospitals, the Sanatorinm and the Free Hospital for Consumptives. The majority of these have either been cured, or so helped that they have been enabled to again become bread-winners for the family. The public are beginning to find evidence of our work. Already there has been a decrease of nearly 25 per cent. in the death- rate from consumption in the Province of Ontario. The last report of the Secretary of the Provincial Board of Health shows that in the last three years the deaths from consumption in Ontario have decreased from 3,481 to 2,694, a decrease of 790, or nearly 25 per cent. g’l‘his is the more gtatifying when we remember that for a. number of years previously the same report showed a. steadily increasing death-rate prior to 1899. -, - - "\ O. i 0 I. ‘-_L_ -_.J The Free Hospitll for Consumptives was opened eighteen months ago. 225 patients have been admitted.

VA" Gun" The Ontario government sugar beet scheme. introduced a few years ago with much trumpeting, seems to have about fizzled out. It may be said that at the time it was introduc- ed, a num er of Hamilton men made diligent inquiry into the business, with a view to establishing a factory here it was found to be a good thing; but after investigation they decided ,to have nothing to do with it.â€" lDunnville Gazette. The following from the Walkerton Herald. shows what became of the Wiarton been sugar factory. The Wiarton Beet Sugar Factory is closed and the plant is in the hands of the Union Bank and the Bank of Commerce. which had advanced large sums to carry on the business. The closing of the factory has been a bad financial blow to many of Wiar- rton’s citizens, their losses aggregat- ing something like $105,000. J.Johns and D Huether, two prominent Wiarton men. lose $10,000 and 812,. 000 respectively. With the few ex ceptions those who sold sugar beets to the factory during the fall of 1903 , have lost the price of their beets. ' Several in the vicinity of Chesley ! are heavy losers. Donald Anderson 1 i shipped his beets early, and we under- stand, was paid in full. Frank Fish er of the twelfth concession, Brant, llost a part of his shipment, and others did not receive a cent.

Will you have the The Galt Reporter tells us that Walkerton has had bad experience as well as Wiarton. and that the Wal laceburg and Dresden do not look rosy. But the Berlin concern is still in the ring. The Reporter says: To the indomitable courage of those behind the Ontario Beet Sugar company’s Berlin factory is due the existence of that plant today. The field in Ontario was an untried one it two years ago. and though they faced many discouraging - factors. and saw some of their best laid plans somewhat shattered before their out- put was placed on the market, the officers of the company went into the second annual campaign fully well equipped to earn a respectable divi- dend on the $500,000 invested. The second season has just been complet- ed. and beet growers in this and ad- jacent counties have little to com- plain of. As a matter of fact hund- reds have expressed themselves high- 1y pleased with the returns and the influence of their success will perhaps this year add to the present colony of beet growers sufficient farmers to assure the factory a long campaign when then the machinery is once again set in motion next October. l The Chesley Enterprise says: The Wiarton Beet Sugar Factory is closed and the plant is in hands of the U11- ion Bauk and Bank of Commerce, which had advanced large sums to carry on the business. The closing of the factory had been a bad finan- cial blow to many of Wiarton’ s citi- zens, their losses agmegating some- thing like $105 000. J. John and D. Huether. two prominent \Viarton men‘loss 310.000 and $12,000 resect- ively. This will be sad news to the Garrick farmers who raise sugar beets and shipped them to Wiarton. None of the growers here have been paid. The largest and most Interesting meeting of the stock holders of the Wiarton Beet Sugar Co. ever held was that on Tuesday afternoon in the town ball. when the President Mr. D. M. Jermyn presented a statement' of the position of the company, the substance of which that the company after the campaign was not in' any better position financially then they were a yexfi' ago The directors had laboured faithfully to the neglect of their own business to make the sugar business a success but one misfortune after another followed a whole years business which found them in the position above referred to. After the President had had his say Mr. A McNeill said that he had a proposi- tion to submit which might extricate the Co. from the present unsatis-g factory condition. Mr. McNeill con-‘ tinuing said that Mr. Symon of De- troit who had a mortgage on the plant for $150,000 he ofiered to put in a further 3200.000 in the business and give paid up stock to those who had paid money on the bonds provid- ing the stock holders would secure contracts for 3000 acres of beets. This proposition met with the hasty approval of the meeting. The old board of directors resigned their pos- ition and the new board was selected to deal with Mr. Symon. Among them were Alex. McNeill. Dr. R. M. Fisher and David Huether. With this new board the sugar factory mav yet be saved to the town.-â€"Wiarton correspondent in Hepworth Journal.
