We went to Toronto by the G ...,RT where we had just time enough for lunch before leaving in ecial cars on the regular train to Ottawa at 12.07 p. m. We took the main line or the Grand Trunk to Napanee, where we branched off for Ottawa and spent the remainder of the trip in passing through a lot of rugged, but beautiful scenery, especially in. rounding Lake Loughhorough at The writer is indebted to the Grand Trunk and Canadian National Railways for the generosity extend- ed. It. is further gratifying to state that special cars were given us from Toronto to Ottawa, and the party was accompanied on the trip by a number of courteous officials of the company. There were present with us Mr. Ridden and Mr. Howard, two of the companies’ officials who ac- companied'the special train to Van- couver a year ago. It was indeed a pleasure to again meet the two gen- tlemen and again enjoy their .court- esies. Two other ' officials, Mr. Crighton and Mr. McDonald, repre- senting the Canadian National lines, were also in attendance and the gen- iality 01' these gentlemen gave an added pleasure to the trip. The trip was made possible for the members of the Weekly press through the generosity of the rail- road companies in issuing free transportation to the place of meet- ing and return from all points in Canada. In taking advantage of this the publisher from the far EaSL or the far West, was under no cost. for railway fares, and in this way en- joyed the same privileges as publish- ers located near the Capital. ' OUR TRIP TO OTTAWA The Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association met in convention at. Ol- tawa 0n the 8th, 9th and 10th of June, when about four hundred members, including their wives and lady friends, were in attendance to enjoy the annual outing. The Warren Bithulithic Paving COmpany is the largest corporation or the kind in America with a great reputation to lixe up to, and the T onn Council counts on getting a t1rst- class job. new roadway in about ten days. The pavement. would be completed by September 1, at latest September 15. Mr. Hugh Lehman, who superin- tended the work here last year will‘ be in charge again.

To the Town Council‘ here a couple of weeks age. a repreg sentative of,a Hamilton firm quotedl $2.0!) a yard for the Work; it will he noticed that the report given below quotes $3.19. This, we may alsosay, is the prevailing price on nearly all the tenders we have noticed’this year. and to be quite frank with our readers. we can’t for the life of us see how the Hamilton Construction Com- pany can do work for $2.00 a square yard that other companies get 83.00 and over' for apparently the same class of pavement. We are not skeptical, however. and would like to see the explanation. The followâ€" ing is the report. as taken from The Walkerton Telescope of June 15: WALKBRTOU TOWN COUNCIL I m,muam Thursday, June PAGE TWO $70,489.55 AUTOS BADLY DAMAGED IN COLLISION NEAR PLESHERTON (Flesherton Advance.) Thursday night last Mr. William Wright. of Maxwell, accompanied by his wife and son, had an experience that. might easily have been a much more serious afl‘air. While ap- proaching the village in their Chev- rolet car about 12 pm, they met an- I other Chevrolet containing three To- ironto young men, driven by a man named McDonald. The road where the meeting occurred is rather nar- row and Joe Wright, the son, who was driving, turned out to the last inch, driving very slowly. The ap-i proaching car did not. pause, but side-swiped Wright’s car, shaving behind the Wright car, when it plunged head-first into a marshy Spot among the stumps and sticks. The car was badly damaged, having One wheel smashed to atoms, fenders pulled off, axle bent, and other in- juries, but after procuring a new wheel the three young men were able to limp along on their way to Tor- onto. Those who were on the scene Wright got a nervous shoch from. which she has not yet recovered. It is thought the last has not been hnnnr] A: 11-:â€" heard of this casé‘ On Saturday morning; we left. for Montreal, where we arrived at noon and remained till 10 o‘clock Sunday, when we entrained for Toronto, and came the rest of the way on Monday forenoon. On Friday afternoon we were treated to an auto ride for miles east and on returning were taken through interesting portions of the city and at length landed at the Experimental Farm, where a lunch- eon w’as served to all. Ottawa, the Bytown of former days, but now the capital of the Dominion, has devel- oped into a beautiful city of 135,000 inhabitants. It has many natural beauties in and around the city, and is well worth seeing, and a trip to Parliament Hill and around the Par- liament Buildings is a part that none should miss in seeing the city of Ottawa. and none of the members present seemed to take much interest in the proceedings. There seemed, in fact, to be a general feeling of indiffer- ence. F armers.’ Sales Notes On Thursday afternoon the whole party’ accepted an invitation from Lord and Lady Byng, where they were entertained to luncheon, after which. they enjoyed a musical pro- gram from the Governor-General’s Bodyguard Band. In the evening a ball was given in the Assembly Room in the Chateau Laurier, where 'a large number was in attendance. While in the city we spent .two evenings at the Parliament Buildings and listened to a speech from each of the three parties. The attendance on both occasions was very small I The ladies of the party had greater freedom, as they were not tied down with convention work. With them it was a continuOus round of pleasure and sight-seeing. They were in charge of Miss MacBeth, President of the Ottawa Ladies’ Press Club, and were taken to many places of interest. 0f the power and influence 'of'the press, received close attention and were heartily applauded. The regular work of the conven- tion will be of no interest to our readers, more than to say that fine addresses were delivered by Messrs. Meighen, Crerar and King, the lead- ers of the ‘ three parties in the House of Commons. All spokehighly I For the next three nights we re‘- mained at the Chateau ‘Laurier, one of the finest hotels belonging to the Grand Trunk Railway System. Early in June ten years ago this magnifi- cent hotel ,was opened to the public and we may just remark in passing that the then Canadian Press Asso- ciation was the first large body to assemble there. our first trip over this particular road and we enjoyed it very much all the way to Ottawa,- where we‘ 31-:- rived at 7.35 pm. 11 - Sydenham, and - getting glimpses ’ at many points of the Rideau Lakes and crossing the Rideau Canal.

Thomas Daniel is putting upa brick dwelling opposite the cement works. Mr. Ed. Kress sold his brick resi- dence on the hill to Dr. Gun. Mr. Kress is building another residence for himself on the West side of town. Peel, the Shoeman, is erecting. z brick residence on Garafraxa street East. The new brick residence of Mr. James Lenahan has the roof on and work inside is progressing rapidly. The brickwork on Mr. Redford’s house on Bruce street is about com- pleted.

Irregularities were apparent and His Honor Judge Mor- rison gave it as his belief that the ballots had been tampered With be- tween polling day and the time of the recount. It is with regret we chronicle the death on Saturday last of Mrs. John Fraser of Vickers. She was 62 years of age and had been ill only a couple of weeks. She was a native of the County Limerick, Ireland, came to Philadelphia forty years ago. From there she moved to Grimsby, where, in 1864, she married John Fraser, who died two years ago. Shortly af- ter marriage they moved to Vickers. To them were born children, of whom John died four years ago, and Mrs. Thomas Turnbull three years ago. The survivors are Mrs. '1‘. Corâ€" bett and Mrs. William George, of Sault Ste. Marie, and Mrs. A. Hess of Hamilton. We regret to learn of the death of Mrs. Wlilliam Falkingham, who died on Monday last after a prolonged ill- ness from Spine disease and other troubles. She was about thirty-five years of age and leaves a husband and four or five children. ‘ On Tuesday morning of last week 'a very interesting ceremony took place in Trinity Church, when Miss Bella Hughes was united in marriage to Mr. Edward Kress. At six o’clock the groom took his place at the altar. As Mrs. H. Parker played the wed- ding march, the bride advanced up the aisle leaning on the arm of her brother, George, who gave her away in a very becoming manner. Rev. Mr. Ryan performed the ceremony in strict accordance with the church ritual. After partaking of a wed- ding breakfast, the happy couple left by train on a short honeymoon to St. Catharines, Toronto, Buffalo and a‘ number of other places. The bride was married in her going away suit of blue broadcloth, and, with the ex- ception of a white prayer book which she held, there was no ex- traneous paraphernalia. .
