NOTES AND COMMENTS
Post Office Expansion.
As population increases and spreads
over the country the mail service has
to keep pane, This of itself is an enor-
mous expe':se on the government, and
yet the post office is conducted on a
paying basis. In dealing with inoreased
expenditures it must be remembered that
the expenses of the poet office are in-
creasing every year, in response to the
growing demands for accommodation,
all this of coarse is added to the out-
going of the government. Do the Con-
servative critics look on the other side
of the aoconnt and observe the greater
revenues than in their days? No, they
see nothing bat the expense side and
this is extravagance in their eyed. When
they spent less and came oat at the end
of the year with a defioit of $700,000 this
was economy—When the Liberal gov-
ernment spends several millions more a
year for the benefit of the people, and
balances the account with over $1,000,-
000 surplus, this is described as extrava-
gance.
Ia 1896 when the Conservatives we nt
out of power there were 9,103 post of-
fices in Canada. In 1907, there were 11,-
377—the increased cost of maintaining
theee is alluded to as extravagence. In
1896 there were under the Conservatives
1,310 postal notes and money order of-
fices, and in 1907, these have been in-
creased to 9,091. Was this increased
growth or extravagance? In 1896 the
post office savings bauks numbered 755,
and in 1907 these were 1,043 Seould
the extra expense of the public accom
modation be desoribed as extravagance,
or should it be regarded as a proper
expenditure of public money. And with
all this over $1,000,000 of a surplus.
We looked for it. A few menthe ago
the Tory Organs were dnoAeciing o hue
Gvernment for furnishtng,seed grain to needy farmers in the
Northwest Not ouly that, but an effort
ws made to make it appear that it was
simply a scheme of graft, evn The
Winnipeg Tribune being forced to
pologize for such insinuations. Now
The Mail and Empire seeks to claim for
the Tories the gratitude of the settlers
for this veryHerald.
Several matters of importance to the
peope of Ontario depend upon the
forthcoming viit of Sir James Whit-
ney to England. He left Toronto Mon-
day, and probably some of his inveti-
gations will be reflected in legislation to
be passed next session. Together with
Hon. Nelson Monteith, Minister of Ag-
ioalture, who will leave in about a
week's time, Sir Jamas will do some-
hing towards shaping a ew P there ial
tl
immigration policy.the question of educational reforms
along the lines of technical schooling,
which will be tlked over with Hon. Dr.
Pyne in the old country. Since Hon.
Mr. Monteith is to make the trip also,
there Is the report that he will remain
a member of tee Oabinet.

Apples are estimated somewhat low-
er for July than for June. Early and

Pears are reported a light crop, ex•
oept in British Columbia and south-
ern Ontario where a medium crop is
expected.
Early peaches are reported a full
crop.
Late peaches are reported light to
medium.
Cherries have proven a medrnm crop
and have sold at fair prices.
Plums are reported light generally.m
In British Oolnbia certain sections
report a medium crop. In the Geor-
gian Bay district three or four varieties
promise well.
brews are reported a full crop.
Strawberries and Raspberries have
been reduced by dry weather, but the
average has been very good.
Small fruits, other than the above,
are yielding or promise a full crop.
Tomatoes are a medium crop, ripen-
ing early.
Insects and fungous diseases are not
so prevalent as usual.

Mr. W. J. Boyoe was present and laid
a plan before the Board; which if
adopted, would heat the school to better
advantage. It is claimed that if the
new plan were adopted the school could
be heated with two pounds steam pre!•
sure in the boiler and the school build
ing would be better ventilated than at
present. The Board is not in a position
to make any extensive changes at pres-
ent, but it was the general opinion that
the new heating system should be pu t
in as soon as possible.

S. S Southwark, D»ninion Line,
with 600 passengers on board, has been
wrecked in the Lower St. Lawrence.
Tasmania has long been known as
the 'apple land of the South, but few
at home have any real idea of the
money that can be made, and is being
made, out of apple growing in that
island. Last year, for instance, there
were many small orchards in, the
South which returned as much as 1,200
bushels to the acre, and one owner of
four acres, who pinked over 4,000 bush
els of marketable fruit, which he sold
at 4 shillings per bushel, reaped a gross
return of £500. As his expenses at the
outside would not be more than £100,
his profit per acre worked out at some-
thing like £175 Of course this was au
extreme case, but orchards of twenty
sores and upwards averaged felly 500
bushels per acre, and yielded a clear net
profit of quite El.,500 in each case. The
area actually planted at the present time
in domestic and commercial orchards is
about 20,000 acres, and upwards of half
a million oases of apples were exported
to tbis country last fall.—The Britannia.
"Present indications do not point to
s change of Government as the result
of the elections. Doubtless there will
be a reduction in the Government's'
big majority. The Nationalist in-
flaence in Quebec will be used against
the Liberal party and may win a few
seats for the Conservatives. In Nova
Scotia it is not to be expected that
every seat will be won by the Gov-
ernment, as in 1004. In New Bruns-
wick the Liberal party is divided and
a Conservative Government is now in
power; but it is not probable that
there will be anything like a slump to
the Conservatives in that Province. In
Ontario and the West the Conserva-
tives are sure to gain some seats; but
it is almost es certain that in the Gov-
ernment will also make some gains,
and the net gain for the Opposition is
not likely to be great. Upon the
whole, therefore, the prospects are
that the Laurier Government will be
returned to power with a majority
smaller than the one it now commands,
but one that will serve,—Hamilton
Herald.

Toronto, Ang. 11.—Trade was none
too brisk at the City Cattle Market to•
day. Baying was slow and prices tended
easier, though quotations generally ler e
not materially changed from last week .
There is almost too large a proportion of
small poor quality butcher cattle offer-
ing, and the demand for this class is
hardly sufficient to absorb the supply.
Very choice butcher cattle are scarce
and prides in this plass about steady
from $4 50 to 15 top figures. Medium
butoher cattle steady from $4 to $4 35;
good choice cows, steady around $3 70 to
$4.25, and anything very choice a few
cents higher. Canners and common
butcher bulls are easier -end slow at from
a cent to a cent and a half a pound.
Export—The demand for export cattle
is only moderately active. A few ohoioe
heavy export are in demand for the
London market at $5 to $5 40; medium
light export for the Liverpool market
from $4.40 to $4.50.

The musical part of the service in the
Methodist Church on Sunday evening
was of a high order. At the close of the
sermon, Miss Ina Buchanan, of Toronto,
rendered very effectively the solo,
"Open the Gates of the Temple." Miss
Buchanan possesses a strong, clear,
soprano voice, which shows evidences of
carefal training, and a snccegsful career
is predicted for her. The solos in the
anthem were taken by Mise E. Estelle
Griffin e,nd Mies 0, G. Mason with their
usual grace.
