Durham, April 23. l903- CANADA IN MOURNING. ! Canada mourns the death of one of 3 her best and purest étatesmen in the permn of Sir Oliver Mowot, Lieuton-; ant-(iou-rnor of Ontario, who died at] Govvrnlm-nt Houfo. Toronto on Sun- day morning last. Few public men have earned so well the rospeot, es- teem and confidence as Ontario’s Grand Hid Man who goes down to an honor-ml gruvv at tho age of eighty- three yours. the history of whose life for tho pastlthirty ye-sirs is the history of Ontario In this issue appears ”An Open Let- (li ter" from Rev. \V. l). Reid, pastor of 01 the lzugest Presbyterian ('hureh in is Montreal. So far as his eulogies of the ft Montreal \Vitness go there is no fault ; k to find. That the Toronto Dailies hztd’ i1 very little to say during the Referen- ' d dmn ezunpatign is quite true. but when l' the learned Divine “UPS so far as to in- , t simmte the rarity of M'spapers with t principle it seem to he almost time for t for every self-respeeting member of " Fourth Estate to rise up as one man and call a halt on Mr. Reid. even tho’ 1 he. be at lettered clergyman holding a high position in the Canadian metro- polis. 'lhe "\Vitness"as a conscien- tious exponent of truth, is deserving of no small measure of praise, and it is quite proper for Mr. Reid to shower his enlogiums on tqztt paper if he feels disposed to do so. That a. “sufficient amount of ‘filtby’ luere" may be, an important, faetor in forming "very . strong and decided opinions upon‘alg most any subject" is not altogether. outside the range of possibility in the case of some newspapers. That some. clergymen might .he induced to do, strange undgluestionable things for a. Bufileient amount ot'the. same “filthy here“ is at possible conception though an exeeedingly uneharitable View to hold iin the absence of proof. The newspapers are not demoralized and lacking in principle to the extent the casual reader would infer from a peru- all of Mr. Reid's letter. On \he other hand the majority of newspapers are doing a noble work in tip-lifting and lip-building the higher interests of hu- manity. By the use of Pearcy’s ‘ ‘arriage Paints, mixed '] ready tor use, any one can repaint a carriage, buggy or wagon, so as to secure with a single coat a high gloss finish, of such beauty and per- manence as hitherto has been found only on new W. IRWIN. Editor and Proprietor. WVA. 5v work and secured 'at great expense. Again the town is brought face to face with a ivy-law, the carrying of which will give increased activity and ‘ develop a new industry. A seven thousand dollar loan is asked for for a period ot ten years, the loan being re- payahle to the town in yearly instal- ments of a thousand dollars each after the expiration of three years. General tax eXemptions are also to he made on all improvements put upon the proper- ty, the saidexemptiun t0 run concur- rently with: the loan for the same period of ten years, the present assess- ed valueiof the property only to contribute to the general fund. In return for this the Durham Manufac- Ming (30., Limited, is to erect a. suit- nbie building for the manufacture of 0mm Separators, ma equip the same 'lth machinery and stock to the SANCTUM SIFTINGS. .\' EWSI’AI’ERS NOT GUILTY.

As mrity for‘ the repayment of the loan the corpor-i ation of the town of Durham is to get a first mortgage on the total plant building and stock. As provided by law, the company must submit to an equitable assessment and pay taxes thereon ifi support of the school. The toregoing is a fair honest outline of the proposition to be considered by the property owners, and gives a good idea of the question they have to con- sider in regard to the by-law, and on the passing of which they must vote “Yes” or “No” on Monday next. “6e say “ must” vote because the ratepaying property owner who stays . at home votes against the by-law just the same as if he had gone to the poll ‘- and recorded his vote against it. same rate of assessment the income for school purposes alone will amount to $1508. The proposed industry will carry an assessment of not less than $10,000, (1 will consequently at the present ,vy be as productive of school 1.‘ ,, income as the existing Furniture Fac- tory. But this is not all. The mater- ial advancement of the town during the past three or four years has added greatly to the total assessed valuation, while the cost of maintenance, with the exception of the school, has changed very little. T His being true, the increased valua- tiun uf town property, without the necessity of a corresponding increase fur maintenance, nmst ultinmtely cause a. reduction in the town rate, and therefore, lower taxes.

For these 1 800d- ' a friend recommends the following ! ‘°.d°‘ ' "brilliant whitewash” which pre- 3 mind: 3 serves wood and brick almost as well perly 3 as oil paint, and which can be colored i a" 3‘ . to suit the fancy by the addition of ii the 1" - yellow ochre, Indian red, raw umber ; “I‘ll“ * l y or lamp black, or other combinations y of two or more of these to secure the, _ desired tint.

The following is I ” A chiel‘o amng yo takin’ notes, An‘ f‘ith he'll prom it.”â€"Bms. known as GOVERNMENT \VHITEWASH. { 1 Take half a bushel of unslaked i l lime. Slake it with boiling water. 1: Cover during process to keep in the l I steam. Strain the liquid through all sieve or strainer, then add to it a « peck of salt previously dissolved in '1 1 warm water ; three pounds of ground I 1 rice, boiled to a thin paste and stirred l 4 in while hot, half a pound of Spanish l whiting and one pound of clean glue, , previously dissolved by soaking in 3 cold water and then by hanging over i a slow fire in a small pot hung in a; , larger one filled with water. Add. five gallons of hot water to the mix- ture, stir well, and let it stand for a few days covered from dirt. It should be applied hot for which purpose it. [can be kept in a kettle or portable , furnace. A pint of this mixture, if E properly appzied, will cover one 1 ‘ square yard. It is almost as service-; é able as paint and is cheaper than the ‘, cheapest paint. A few hundred gal- lons of this applied to the many un- . painted houses, stables, mills, etc., ,I flnn‘ puxloyvu a-vwvvâ€" in town would have a magical effect. , and transform many sections of the town_from faded, squalid. neglected looking quarters. to new, bright. thriving, residential settlements, in. f habited by a thrifty, go-ahead, up-to« date pOpulation. STRONGER MIXTURE NEEDED. The foregoing is intended for such work as we have already specified, [but an article sufficiently strong to {whitewash the present Government l at Toronto would need to be made in ‘ much larger quantities and have in l, its composition larger proportions of . the lime and glue. We imagine about 1 a thousand bushels of lime and five 1 hundred pounds of the stickiest glue Iwould belittle enough to mix with lthe other ingredients to make a good of of [Ill vv-â€"â€"-â€" job of it. The process of decomposi- tion has now gone so tar that the sa-’ vory influence of salt will have little effect in restoring the outfit to its or- , iginal sweetness. The lime is neces- ' sary for the whitening process. and the glue to hold it on as well as to . hold togetner the dissenting elements of a dngusted party. A few hundred gallons of carbolic acid added to the mixture would serve as a disinfect-‘r ant and keep down the stink. This recipe in non patented. TOWN PARK. i Can not something be done this yr. 1 towards providing for a Public Park {for the use of our citizens? This ! question has been asked several times ‘land it was reported earlier in the iyear that the Horticultural Society iintended to ask the co-Operation of l the Town Council for the purpose of : providing such a park. :1! the ques- t tion is not to be shelved another .year. now is the time to act. There .is nothing that would give our town ;a standing among its neighbor towns. Hor uprtoodateness, and a pleasant _ 1.-....0-t ‘U‘ “V UV vâ€"v-~ _ ' summer resort, more than a beauti- ful park in which the citizens could diSport themselves. especially during the long summer evenings. There, too, games bi various kinds could be indulged in by our young people. and thus their physical training would be secured and their spirit of manliness developed. There is no athletic Sport hut. when properly conducted, will he productive of good and there is no lrestraining influence that will curb the impetuous temper and the ungov- ernuble tongue of the players more Ulnuvnv w'-â€"" e . than the presence of interested spec- tators to whose sense of fairness is alwaysa silent appeal. For these silent influences upon our boys, the public park would furnish the means of securing and the beneficial efiect would be incalculable. Other towns throughout the country are moving lin this direction and we should not ‘be doomed to be always marching in the rear column of the army of pro .gress. Our town is making very sat- isfactory forward strides in some other directions, but in the line of ‘beautifying the town and providing facilities for the free and easy out- door intercourse of our citizen. in PAIh’T UP. It is useless to bring up the Sam! geen Park. of which the name alone is beautiful, as fulfilling the required conditions. In our day, Saugeen lPark will not be available for such lsports as are within reach and its 1 distance from the town is too great '. to be of any use in the way suggest ' ted. ‘ - UV“ 0 Is there no citizen with a. large enough heart to grant the town a suitable parkâ€"even a small one1 would be an unmixed blessingâ€"or to take the matter up and press upon our citizens the great advantages of such to our physical and social well- being. Ofor such a men! Future generations would rise up and call him blessed. ‘ UBMVI Suva VI “toâ€".â€" good. There is nothing that tends gto develop a rugged. healthy, pure- I 3minded manhood, more than a pro- ; perly conducted game of free open- l 3 air athletic sport of any kind when. , gthe rules of the game are honorably {followed under eflicient leadership. ‘Did the matter stOp there, there lwould be nothing to complain of” l but when challange matches are ar- ' . ranged between junior clubs in neigh- l boring towns, it would almost seem ' i [itime to call a halt. The idea of a Ja neighboring town to play 05 a .lmatch game may have useful {ea- , i tures, but it has also its danger side. 3 Instances are not few nor far between Ein which such boys feeling the free- ;dom of the situation have given way {to unlicensed rowdyism, in which 1 3 bad language and bad whiskey played . ; a considerable part. Here is the, e ‘l danger, and parents should know1 a»: what is the moral tone of any club to ; a 1 which their boys belong. If the‘ D g moral atmosphere is impure, all the‘ d l physical athletics in creation will dlnot compensate for its soul-destroy- b ‘ ing influence. To the older youth of 9. more tixed habits, the danger still 11 2 exists. though in a lesser degree, but :r for the members of the younger a . clubs, the harm may be infinitely .d ' great. The senior clubs have a grave (- reaponsibility in putting before the a junior clubs 3. high moral, manly ld standard, so that all filthy language it . and drinking habits shall be frowned 16 down as utterly beneath the dignity if of a Christian gentleman. In this age of revived athletics.‘ there is much said and done that. makes thinking men and women pause. In almost every town there1 are Junior and senior lacrosse clubs, junior and senior cricket clubs, junior and senior base-ball clubs, and many other such organizations. So far, Miss V.
