covery. The late Mrs. Keith was not

CIIAS. BUTTON, Clerk.
The town of Havelock, Ont., has
raised the license fee from $229 to $750.
Hotelkeepers at first said that they could
not pay it, but have later made applica-
tion. There are three hotels in the
small town of Havelock.
It is reported at Winnipeg that the
0. P. R. contemplate the building of an-
other railroad, almost transcontinental
in character, and practically paralleling
the G. T. P. to Hardy, B. C., thus
gaining all the advantages which the
latter's road wcnld gain in shortage of
haulage.
Tan hunters who have been killing
moose out of season in the northern

entian districts, were arrested recently'
and tried in Three Rivers, convicted,
and fined $60.00 each and costs. The
total amount paid by each man was bo-
tween $60.00 and $65.00.
George George, head of the Technical
Department of Education of New Zea-
land, paid a visit to the Ontario Agri-
cultural College at Guelph last week.
He is visiting eduoational centres in
order to plait up pointe of value, for the
educational system of New Zealand.
Re ware very pronounced in his praises
of the Ooilege, and will no doubt copy
some of its features in the introduotion
of agricultural edueetion *t home,
Representation Too Large.
Mr, Arch Hislop, )f. P, P. for kat
Heron in reeumiug the debate on he
redistribution held in the Legislature on
Tuesday said that it was at first sup-
posed that the measure was simply to
remedy great existing wrongs, but it
went further than that. Tho represen-
tation of Ontario was already too large,
he contended, and the sante number of
members as sent to the Dominion Par-
liament by the Province would be
sufficient.
He believed the city of Toronto was
very well relreeented already. In
England the representation of cities
was not as great, according to pop--
14tt1.44; as in ell@ iprpl ditti•iete, but he
contended that there was need for a
greater disparity in this country because
of the greater areas represented,
"I believe it is time that we in this
Province endeavored to get a better
system of representation," said Mr.
Hislop, and he added that he believed in
minority representation. During the
last election the Conservatives had
obtained 239,000 votes and the Liberals
209,000. It took 3,378 votes to get a
Conservative member into the House,
he stated, whereas it took 7,555 to get
is one Liberal member. He gave other
similar examples, showing tue fallacy of
the present system of representation.
In nine general elections in England the
Liberals had received majorities of the
popular vote no fewer than seven times,
but the Conservatives were in power
twenty-three years as against seventeen
years for the Liberals.
Coming to Peel county, Mr. Hislop
said Albion township was never in
that riding, but was placed in Card-
well by Sir John A. Macdonald, The
county of Huron,, he said, was a pe-
culiarly shaped county, but the old
divisions were compact. Unfortun-
ately two townships have been divided,
but still the divisions were convenient
to the people direotly interested. He
believed the Conservatives had thought
the former division was eminently fair.
If it were fail to divide Huron, why
not divide Waterloo? asked the speaker
where a township was divided as in
Huron. Fairnlinded Conservatives, he
felt sure, would be opposed to the pres-
ent division in Huron, and he read a
portion of a Goderich Conservative
paper whioh was against the scheme.
Regarding Bruce, he said it was not
divided, because the local Conservatives
could not agree among themselves on
any division. The great principles of
the redistribution had been planned in
caucus before the committee met.
"In all the gerrymander they have not
in a single solitary instance left the
Liberal party. in a more favorable posi-
tion they were in before."
