The Customs Department of British Guiana has decided that Canada’s flour shipped via New York must be bonded through and not be reshipped at that port. Other \k'est' Indian cob onies are likely to make the same regulation in order to ensure that all flour getting the preferential tarifl rate shall be Canadian flour. -v- an underground cell in 1870, being promoted in the French army on his release. One of Madame Charton’s sons, Pierre, a professor at the Mont- real Ecole Polytechnique, is a lieuâ€" tenant in the French army and an- other is an oflicer with the Turcos. On August 10, when Pierre Charton left Montreal for France, the war ex- perience his mother gained in 1870 stood her son in. good stead, for Madame Charton had the foresight to provide her son with a special purse of unique design, in case he should be short of money. A local shoe maker was commissioned to make a pair of boots for Mr. Char- ton, and these had a special design. In the sole of each boot was one hundred dollars in gold. 1 The late Mr. lx'oefer vsas married in 1848 to Fliml'mth, daughter 0! the late Hon. Thomas McKay, M.L.C. Of this union one son, Charles H.

The late Mr. Keefer was an Anglican in religion. have siamped him as a man of re- markable foresight in public affairs. Madame Pierre Charton, aged 80. St. Denis street, Montreal, has 144 relatives engaged in fighting on the side of France in the war. Her late husband suffered imprisonment in the German town of Stettin, where for three weeks he was confined in Mr. Keefer was‘eiected vice-presiâ€" dent of the Society of An‘xerican Engi- neers in 1886 and 1887 and president in 1888. He was one of the founders of the Canadian Society of Civil En- 'ginem's in 1887 and was its first president. His engineering works have made his name familiar throuehout Canada and his writings Later he was employed in con- structing water works for the cities of Montreal, Hamilton and Ottawa. For some years he was the engineer of the Montreal Harbor Commission. He served as chairman of the Royal Commission on ice flOods. It was through his efforts that the railways of Canada adopted the standard gauge in place of the narrow. In 1857 he was Canadian commissioner for the first international exhibition inLondon and again for the exhibi- tion of 1862 and 1978 he was execu- tive commissioner of the Paris exhibi- tion. He was elected an officer of the Legion of Honor and a Companion of St. Michael and St. George. In 1850 he was employed by the Government in making a survey of the rapids of the St. Lawrence with a view to their improvement; also in examining the river below Quebec for a harbor of relief and in exploring routes with a view to the building of a canal or railway between. the St. Lawrence and the upper St. John waters of Lake Temiscouata. He was afterwards engaged in preliminary surveys for the Grand Trunk Railway between Montreal and Toronto and in preparing plans for the famous Vic- toria bridge at Montreal, which was undertaken on his survey and report. Thomas Keefer was educated at Upper Canada College and was a member of the first cricket club of that academy in 1836. He began his career as an engineer on the Erie Canal in the United States and later was employed on the Welland Canal, remaining on that work until 1845. He was then engaged to take the chief position in connection with the Ottawa river works, the object of which was to facilitate the immense lumber trade of that river and its tri- butaries. He carried on these works until 1894, designing important im- provements which are in use at pres- ent. In 1849 .he produced his Philos- ophy of Railways, a work which had a great influence on the policy of the Government in respect to the con- struction of railways in Canada. In the following year he won Lord El- gin’s prize for the best essay on The Influence of the Canals of Canada on Her Agriculture, and subsequently published various essays and reports, among them one favoring the con- struction of the Canadian Pacific Railway and another dealing with Canadian waterways from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic. Thomas Coltrim Keefer was born November,'1821, and was in his 94th year when he died. His grandfather was a United Empire Loyalist and took part with the royal tr00ps in the war of 1776. He lost his life and his property was confiscated. .Later his two sons settled in the Niagara pen- insula where George, one of the sons, was granted 400 acres of land by the Government. He cleared the land and in conjunction with other United Empire Loyalists founded the village of Thorold, where he brought up a family of 10 sons and five daugh- ters." The last survivor of this large family was the 'eminent engineer, Thomas C. Keefer, C.M.G., of Ottawa. The late Mr. Keefer was one of the best known civil engineers in the Dominion and his name is connected with many important public works. Late Thomas C. Keefer, of Ottawa. Was an Eminent Engineer. ’ The announcement of the’death of Thomas C. Keefer, C.M.G..‘.ot Ottawa. caused deep regret throughout Can-- ada. in all parts of which he was well known. _ LEFT MANY i MONUMENTS. Many Relatives at Front. Exports To Indies. ' E. Scott, Teacher.
