Local News Items Burma 'l‘mvstn, of the Wroxeter Star. refers to our article on stealing items from local exchanges. He says he saw one of his articles cred- ited to the Mildmay Gazette. This seems to us a modest insinuation that the Gazette is considered guilty 0! a little of the cribbing so common- ly indulged in. We are not. at all jealous, Brer Townsend, if other papers use our matter. but we think the least they should do is to give no credit. We say again it’s mean. l‘r‘s forty~four years since Mr. Jas. Matthews. of Egremont. left Ould Ireland. but during all those years he never forgot the land of his birth, and often thought of returning to the scenes of his childhood. A quick nation took him a week or so ago, and on Wednesday morning last left for the County Down. where he in- tends to spend a few months with his relatives there and those who are left of his old associates. We wish him a pleasant voyage and a safe and happy return. On our request he has consented to send us a few inter- esting items during his visit. Some: very unsatisfactory reports have appeared in the daily papers about the ditiiculties experienced by harvesters to obtain work on reach- ing Manitoba. 'l‘hev claim that the amount of work expecteJ is net to be found, and mobs of the disappointed laborers became quite furious at Winnipeg and Brandon. in one in- stance threatening to take possession of the L‘. P. R. coaches.a nd forcing a free passage home. Some. it ap- pears. were misled by promises of very high Wages. which the farmers were unwilling to pay when the men arrived. It is also stated that the harvest season is not yet on. but that next week will furnish enough work for all. There are certainly too many men in the vicinity of the principal stations. and to get harvest work it is likely that many will have to so back from the railroad. It is a pity that any friction should oecnr, as in succeeiing years it will be difi- enlt to get enough laborers to take she risk of going. HEY Peel’s handmada for fall.

THE Garden Party in connection! with the Methodist Church, held here on Thursday evening of last was a social and financial success. Though the evening was cool, a large amount of ice-cream and Other refreshments were rapidly consumed by the de- vouring element. About ten o’clock a musical and literary program Was Opened in the church where a very enjoyable hour was spent. Mrs. Dass. of Stratford. and Miss King, of Mt. Forest. were the stars of the evening. Both ladies are favorites here and we may safely assert that their ap- pearance on Thursday night caused no loss of popularity. Mr. George Yiirs gave a fine violin selection to WE Spent half an hour in the Creamery last week and saw the but- ter-maker go through part of the pro- cess of manufacture. He hadjus: finished churning. and the granulated globules had such an appetizing effect that we tasted the product, before and after saltinc, to see what good butter was really like. We pronoun- ced it all right; quite as good, in fact, as the butter we made in our boy-- hood days on the old dash churn. This little “recreation” came round with wonderful regularity about three or four times a week, and at such time as to relieve the dreary monotony a half hour‘s rest would cause in the life of an active boy. It was delightful exercise and we often felt sorry because there was no grandpa around to whom we could allow the pleasure of doing the whole job. Churning is nice exercise for a real old grandpa, but we didn’t have one lying around and there- fore we could take all the fun we liked out of churning. Returning to the factory. we must sav that we found everything scrupulously clean and after learning from the genial butter maker the daily output of the factory we were forced to leave with- out full particulars through the irrig tahility of the young man who as- sumed to chaperone us through the i institution.

Mr. Brad Jamieson was reported in these columns last week to have saved the lives of three young ladies who were about to drown in the To- ronto Bay. But the remaining week of his Island visit called forth anoth- er case of accident where his pinch and daring were serviceable in again saving life. On Sunday evening last four young men had an upset in the bay about half a mile from the shore. The seas were rolling so high that it seemed a. foolhardy act to attempt their rescue. Notwithstanding this a small boat was launched and {our young men, of whom Brad was one. pulled out over a tempestuous see. sud with much ditficulty reached the drowning men and brought them safe to lend.

The “great holiday outing of West-g ern Ontario” is a phrase that some; one once bestowed upon the Western‘ Fair of London. and as the years go‘ by the description seems to become more and more fitting. But it is more than a mere holiday. It is educational in its nature. No man with his eyes and ears open can visit the Western Fair without seeing something to which he had hereto- fore been a stranger, while the im- provements on old devices. the improved methods of agriculture and the higher grade of stock and cattle all combine to show the rapid ad- vance being made in Western 0n- tario, and to demonstrate that we in this section are fully abreast with the rest of the world. The entries for this year denote a large exhibit. and Space should be secured without’ delay. The Speeding in the ring, as usual, will be one of the most at- tractive pastimes. and this will be made doubly so by the engagement of the greatest. coterie of high salaried acrobats, gymnasts and aerialists that ever appeared in one combination in Canada, while novelty is added by the introduction of a full troupe of educated performing ele- phants. The fireworks display will be on a grander scale than ever, and will include a striking and novel representation of the “Fall of China” and "Taking of l’ekin,” to‘- gether with the moat brilliant il- lumination and electrical effects ever before seen on the grounds. Special train service is being arranged over all railroads to leave London after the fireworks. None should miss this home exposition which can be so easily visited at little expense.

We must congratulate. both pupils and teachers on the work done, a class of examination for which pupils have usually to go to the High Schools or Collegiate Institutes.

NOTES Fnbu BUREAU or MINES, ROAD GRADING AND LOCAL PROGRESS. The number of works reported are nine, 4 making National Rock Cem ent and 5 engaged in Portland. It also shows that the supply in Ontario is not equal to the demand as im- portations to Great Britain. the United States, Belgium, Germany and other countries amounted toa grand total of nearly $300,000 and that the duty paid on these importa- tions was nearly $152,000. The report of thc Bureau of Mines for 1901 is just to hand! but as the Cement industry is the only scheme that afiects us at the present time, we pass over to that department. The report is satisfactory and has no tendency whatever to discourage those who are taking part in the marl industry in thislocality. Quot- ing from the report we cony the fol- lowing which says :â€" “The manufacture of cement con- tinues to expand, the total produc- tion of 1900 being much larger then in any previous year. The increase is wholly in Portland Cement. the natural rock variety being smaller in output and value than in 1899. The raw material for an excellent quality of Portland cementâ€"â€"marl and clayâ€"â€" being so abundant in Ontario and the demand for pavement and construc- tion purposes being so great and con- stant, there is every likelihood that the production will continue to in- crease. I‘he number of cement works reported to the Bureau last year was nine, ofzwhich four made natural or rock cement and five Portland cement. In addition to the factories now in operation, one or two others will place their product on the market during 1901.” From the Canadian Engineer we clip the following paragraph which shows expert opinion of the futility of starting a cement mill without an abundance 01 raw material. It says: “A Brantford company, called the Ontario Portland Cement Co.. has been formed with a capital of $163,000 to eXploit the marl leds of Blue Lake near St. George. A representative of the Canadian Engineer examined this deposit three years ago and had the marl analyzed hy an expert. The marl proved to be of fairly good quality, but as the available area is only 10 or 1'2 acres. it would he quite inadequate for a modern cement plant. Unless the company has other deposits under its control with- in reasonable distance it is not likely to prove a \ery profitable invest- ment. Works of this sort should not be started in Canada with less than 9.00 or 300 acres of marl of good average depth.” THE population of the County of Grey is 74.293, divided as follows:â€" E3st 25.095, North, 27.073. South. 29.125. a decrease of 1,945 since 1891. The populotnon of Owen Sound is 478 about of the figures given by the as- sessors’ returns taken about the same time. the population of the enumera- tors being 8777. We have no lack of material here. On the other hand our supply is practically inexhaustahle. and the work is now being pushed ahead. The railroad switches and approaches are being graded, a large amount of the machinery has been purchased and for the remainder of the year the town of Durham promises to he a. veritable hive of industry, rivalling many places of much larger populao tions.
