Roosevelt has taken office and romises to follow exactly Pres,. Mcâ€" Rinley’s programme. A certain fear that ** Teddy " Roosevelt, the Rough Rider, would lack dignity as President, is being completely dispelled. The sympathy evoked in Canada and in all lands has been remarkable. The world, notwithstanding wars, is beâ€" coming unified. On our inside pages will be found details of the last scene and fine cuts of McKinley and his successor. An antopsy has been held and it is shown that from the first he had no chance. The"body lay in State in Buffalo City Hall where it was viewed by thousands. It was taken to Washington and the road was lined throughout by sorrowâ€" ing citizens who came to watch the train ?Ms by and catch a glimpse of the bier placed in an obseryation car so as to be seen. It lay in statein Washingâ€" ton and the solemn and imposing state funeral will haye taken place. Toâ€" night, ( Wednesday, ) Mrs. McKinley wishes to have the body in her own home and tomorrow, Thursday, it will be laig to rest with his two children in Canton, Ohio. His memory will be worshipped and worthily so. His " Good blye. good bye all,. it is God‘s way." will be long reâ€" membered by the nation so severely stricken. The whole world waiting last week for the expected recovery of the woundâ€" ed President was doomed to disappointâ€" ment. _ The bullet did its work. On Thursday unfayvorable symftnns deâ€" veloped and continued til 215 Saturâ€" day morning when he died. Harry M.

ExTERPRISING.â€"That the tendency to amalgamation nowâ€"aâ€"days has been extended to journalistic circles as well as commercial, is shown by the recent purchase of The Canadian Home Jourâ€" val by Mr. Hugh C.

As a tribute to an old friend we have pleasure in publishing a paraâ€" graph of the long address presented to him wiaich is as true as it is felicitous. After referring co his work in school, church, league, &¢, it says : "But much as we shall miss you in all these conâ€" nections we shall miss you especially in our social contact. We have recognized your influence over our young men and women as elevating and enobling. To meet you was always to meet a smile and a welcome. In the social group your presence has been life and light, and when we miss you from our midst we shall miss a ray of sunshine. In your departure Priceville and yicinity is susâ€" taining an inestimable loss, which, withâ€" out depreciation of others we feel canâ€" not be made good. 4 Mr. Harry Bennett captivated the auâ€" dience with his funny songs and sayâ€" ings, particularly in his inimitablo song " the moving job."â€"World.

Watch for furâ€" ther announcements and make sure of a seat. * Stock selling is still going on with success. One subscriber of $1000 who inspected the situation himself recently intends to take $2500 more. The deâ€" mand for Portland Cement continues to increase, new usos being continually found for this article of commerce. Mr. McKecknie learned the other day that the foundations of the new million dollar hotel in Toronto are being laid with cement concrete, while cement and not lime is used for the brick work,. The pile of crushed stone is an enorâ€" mous one and is ready for building operations, The activity displayed and the work done and to be done shows the result of careful foresight. The number of men employed is over 150 and more will be added. With about 80 teams it can be seen that the wage bill at present amounts to a considerable sum. In the cut and near it about 20 teams with their complement of shovelâ€" lers, are fast bringing the grade intn view. On the Smith aud Lawrence property an extensive fill 1s completed, or nearly so. At the townline and at the lake gangs are at work, clearing off timber and otherwise making ready and before the snow flies there will be a continuous road bed from the marl to the mill. BUILDINGS & MACHINERY. ° An effort is to be mude to havye the foundation of all the buildings comâ€" pleted this fall, with possibly two of the buildings erected. _ Last week the Directors placed orders for about $50,â€" 000 worth of machinery, making $100,â€" 000 in all, and some of it cannot be ready before spring, iron and steel workers teing behind with their work, owing to strikes and commercial actiyiâ€" ty. & personal yiéew of the operations to grasp the magnitude of the work being done. Beyond the hill a lengthy cut is completed through the bank of sand which is going to prove a verfect bonâ€" anza from its abundance and excellence in the manufacture of building blocks, &o. A little further on low banks of splendid ballast grayel seem to haye been placed there in waiting for the works. From the main line to the gravel road the switch is graded and fenced and is ready for the ties and the iron. From the road eastward a long and exâ€" tensive fill is nearing completion and certainly never road bed was made of better material. The cut through the hill is nearly completed and it takes Mr. L. kindly showed us through the "office" in the old residence, whose builders we are positive never dreamed that the kitchen would be a carpenter shop, a bedroom a draftman‘s office, the parlor a tool store house, &c., &c. Method and business are stamped on Mr. Leighton‘s surroundings, every tool giyen out is charged to the user, until returned and a system of checks, 200 in number are a â€"modern device to aid the time keeper. THE SWITCH. Mr. Leighton, in charge of this aeâ€" partment, assures ue toâ€"day, ( Tuesday ) that enough blocks are now made for one of the small ! buildings whose dimâ€" ensions are 185 feet by 85. This is to be used as a machine shop and before another week it is expected to be under way. ‘ ‘THE BULLDING BLOCKS. These have been m source of neyer failing interest to the hundreds who Lave seen them. The simplicity of the manufacture, the ease with which any kind of face désired may be produced, the provision for laying absolutely air tight, the effectiveness of the locking, the great advantage:of a smooth and uniform hollow wall are all features that appear commendatle. This holâ€" low wall, good in itself summer or winter, as we have pointed out before, renders lathing unneccessary, _ and plastering of the finest soat may be done on the face of the stone. _ Corner ‘ pieces, gable pieces, &c., can be made readily, and the most taking feature of all is the assurance that this material with all its advantages is cheaper than | brick. 2 We took a walk the other duy, like so many good pilgrims are doing, in the direction of the work now going on in connection with the cement works and for the benefit of our readers who bave not that priyilege we take the liberty of recording some of the things we saw and heard in the company of Director Gilbert McKechnie.

Mr, McKechnie went to Owen Sound, Tuesday, to secure information of the tests made some years ago under the encouragement of our County Council. We have before us a letter received by Mr. McKechnie last week from the Secretary of the Ontario Co., stating that his correspondence had been placed before the first meeting of the Provinâ€" cial Directors and the({ had instructed him to ask for more definite informaâ€" tion as to soil. water, dminu%e. transâ€" portation, cost of lime stone, fuel, &c., and a second set of questions inquiring as to what municipal privileges could be obtained. Mr. Neil McKechnie, ever on the alert for new industries, has been in comâ€" munication with the recently organized "Ontario Sugar Co," which has been casting around looking for a favorable location. He has, of course pointed out to the Co. the advantages posessed by Durham: in the midst of a suitable farming district, with fine Water, with a possibility of piping the juice from North, South and East by gravitation pressure, with abundance of limestone, or better, marl, necessary it seems for cleansing purposes. The Durham Furniture Co., Limited. A letter received from Mr. Jos. Snell, Wiarton, last week speaks proudly of the detinite step taken there by which Wiarton will have the first factory of the kind in Ontario. From time to time references and brief extracts haye hbeen found in our columns relating to this product but the time has come when a more explicit reference must be made to it, especially when we find that a general awakeniog is taking vlace to the importance and the possibility of producing at home what we now send millions of dollars abroad for.
