A grand time is exâ€" pected, and all are invited. _ Admisâ€" s.on 15c. Messrs, Archie Little and G. Sparling were through here buying horses the oiher day. Mr. Alex Beaton who has been laid up with a sore eye is all right again we are glad to relate. Rev, Mr. McGregor of your town spent a few days visiting around here recently. While the idea of establishing a | steamâ€"buat route to Europe through those Arctic waters appears to be impracticable, there is much to be said in favorof some such scheme as the construction of a good wagon road, or even possibly a spur line of rail from the nearest point on the C. P. R , say Missanabie, back towards the Bay, which would give transportation facilâ€" ities for those by no means inconsiderâ€" able, products of the fisheries, forests and mines awaiting development there In this same connection it is interesting to note that the Georgian Bay Canal scheme is being industriously talked un here just now. The good people of the Ottawa Valley are tremendously in earnest in their support, and if hailf that is claimed for it is true, the carrying out of the project wouid be an immense boon for the whole Dominion, . and would go far towards solving the problem of providing an adequate outlet for the products of the West to the markets of the world. That Ten Per Cent Royalty. One of the latest arriyals from Dawson city, Mr. W. C. Gates is authority ftor the statement that Commissioner Ogilvie has recommendâ€" ed a reduction of the gold royalty to 24 or 3 per cent on the net out put, adding that, ‘"the pe%ple of the disâ€" trict bad such confidence in Mr. Ogilvie, that much extra work will be é done this winter and spring and many | claims, that have not been considered j worth working while the 10 per cent royalty was in force, wi‘ll now be opened up." All that the Government | has been waiting for is reliable data |{ from an unprejudiced source, and if| the Commissioner declares, for the reâ€"| duction, action will quickly be taken. li The latest reports upon the condiâ€" tions prevailing in the Hudson Bay District are not encouraging to the promoters of the steamship route in that far northern territory. _ ~Official and unofficial reports rre practica)ly unanimous in declaring that the iceâ€" king has so firm a grip in those wacers that no human devices can conquer him. « Referring to the butter and bacon trade, Mr Fisher spoke in very op timistic terms, declaring that there was a splendid market for both these staples in the British market, and that both had already secured a high repuâ€" tation there. IPWTT CE EECC OO TR NUR WUERVEEE C Hon. Sidney Fisher has been talking to the tarmers of Western Ontario upon the importance ot care and knowletfze in the matter of stock raising, discussâ€" ing the latest improvements in butter and cheese making, and posting them in the details of the requirements of the British market. The Butter and Cheese Trade. As he told the Western Ontario Cheese and Buttermakers‘ Association ‘‘The importance of butter and cheese could not be overâ€"estimated, as was evidenced by the fact that during the past year some $17,500,000 worth of cheese had been exported to England, ‘The present was & critical time for this industry, and while in the old country last year he was startled at some things he heard. _ Canadian cheese was being criticised, and old country _ cheese was commanding higher prices, and what was worse the criticism was merrited, for the quality of the Uanadian cheese was not up to the standard. The Canadian cheese appeared to have been heated, and from examination it was evidently not entirely done in transit but in curing rooms of the factory." Continuâ€" ing the Minister described the sters that had been taken to perfect cold storage facilities on the cars ana vessels, concluding with the remark that he hoped they would soon overâ€" come this slur on the Canadian cheese, and again occupy the proud position they should have in the markets of the world The great secret ofthesneeeuwhiehl Officers Elected. has attended the administration of thel inbnmmmnene Agricultural Department both in the The Annual Meeting of this body took Federal and Ontariv Government i# / place on Wednesday of last week, and that the Ministers in charge are in officers and directors for the various every sense of t!le word, practical municipalities were elected. men,. .

Prof. Peel on short notice was seâ€" cured as an accompanist and considerâ€" ing the time he had, und the difficult The combination singing was pleasâ€" ing and harmonious. _ _Fax is a host in himself, and at this, his first appearance in Durham, he baus sustained the wide reputation he bhas as a singer and humor.:st. Not the least amongst the factors of his success is his clear enunciation every word being heard distinctly. _ In some proâ€" tessionals the lack of this is a serious defect. In ‘‘Hooligan‘s Mule" and in ‘"One of his legs was longer, etc., he tairly convulsed the audience. His other pieces were all good, but *"Ycu can‘t think of everything." Miss McNichol has left a fine imâ€" pression both ’Ipersonally and professâ€" ionally. 0 an attractive stage presence she brings a cultivated yoice of great power and sweetness and one will not soon forget her rendering of ‘‘The Bonnie Bonnie Bank O‘ Loch Lomond" and ‘"Robin Adair," while her part of Jamie and Jeanie was rendered perfectly. Mr. Grant‘s songs were in execution of a high order, ‘"‘Afton Water" being generally thought his best, He has a voice of excellent calibre, and his inâ€" terpretation of Scottish sentiment is of a genuine kind. _ While Fax was the Drawing Card, the other performers were also first in their line. _ Master J. S. Galbraith as a dancer gave excellent satisfaction, and he will yet be much in demand. Piper McDonald played for Mr. Galâ€" braith and gave a selection or two beâ€" sides, which were enjoyed and but for the crowded state of the program, should have been heard oftener. "‘One of the best if not the best conâ€" certs ever held in Durham" was a common remark at the close of the Sons of Seotiand affair on Friday night last. _ Not only was the attendance larget than ever before seen, the hall being crowded to the dooâ€" and beyond it ana many (some say over 100) turnâ€" ed away, but the receipts ecligsed all records, no less a sum than $127 being taken at the door and by ticket sale. Ticket sellers, G. Binnie and R. Macâ€" Farlane Jr. were kept busy outside the door, A. Galbraith ccllected the ‘checks," and never was packing better done than by ushers Jno. H. Hunter, R.

Another change and a popular one it will be, is that a public andit of the acâ€" counts is to be made. _ This has always taken place and open to the members of the society but has not heretofore been published, It is to be hoped that thus taking the public into fullest confidence our fine fall show will be more liberally patronized than ever. There were four applicants for the vacant position of Secy. and the choice of the Directors fell upon Mr. Arch. Davidson, whose affability, experience and tastes will make him an efficient Secy. The office of Treasurer has been dissociated from thai of Secy. and to Mr. Win, Calder was given in charge the shekels of the society. ’ A change in the Secretaryship howâ€" ever was forced on the meeting since the resignation of Secy McKenzie was before them. He has held the office for twenty years exactly, and his time and health are such as to forbid him continuâ€" ing in an office whose duiies are very exacting. As a small testimony to past services, the Society in addition to warm expressions of thanks made a grant of $25 to their retiring Secy,, whom everyâ€" one would rejoice to see restored to perâ€" fect health in the near future. Jas.
