is ready for the track front Orahatreel
creelrejust above Shepnardtei, to or
Albert and from Port A.lbert to Buck-
ley's. Gangs of men are now working
northward towards Kingribridge. A
gang will be started at Ktngebridge in
a few days and .it is hoped that the
roadbed will be completed, as far as
Kintail by January 1. The work at
Eighteen Mile Rivas. is also making
good progress- The work on the con-
crete structures was slightly delayed
by the cold weather but will again be
rushed forward as possible. Tenders
for the big trestle at Port Albert are
all in and the contract will be let and
the work started almost immediately.
In this way the line will be practically
completed to Amberley before spriug
opens.
A. meeting in the interests of the
C P It project through Ashfield, was
held in the British Exchange hotel in
Gorlerich on Friday last. Three of the
CP R officials were in attendance and
were waited on by a cleputatidif from
Dungannon consisting of Reeve Bailie
Dr Rice, J R McNeb, BJ Crawford, It
E Manning, TG 4jIen, J Walkom and
C Elliott. The matter was thoroughly
discussed and the 0 P 1.4 connection
fur Dungannon is now a foregone cm -
elusion. The company will require a
bonus from the townships of West
Wawanosh and Ashileld. The amount
of the bonus required will probably
he in the neighborhood of $100,00U or
$50,000 from each township.

Sheep Breedeea Association
lit the g6th annual meetingnf the
American Leieester Breeder's AssoOla
time held in Guelphrecently, the Pres-
ident, Me James Saell,of
ered the following address; —
Gentlemen: I heartly eongratulate
you all on the splendid attendance-.wo
have at this meeting of theAssociatiou.
1 think perhaps, it is this largest we ,
have ever had at any of our meetings
and I extend a hearty and cordial wel-
come. A. good deal is being said just
now about closer trade relations be-
tween Canada and the United States,
and meetings of this kind where we
consider our common interests as
breeders, will do much toward this de-
sired end, as well as bringing us into
closer and more fr:endly personal rela-
tions. I might just'say that the breed-
ing of throughbred stock Was never
more important than at the present
time. Much attention is being given
the matter in almost every country,
but much more especial attention is
being given it in America than ever
before. Thera is always a market tor
stock that can be depended upon, and
in this connection I think I arn safe in
saying that breeders generally are
more than ever realjzing the import-
ance of strict integrity and honorable
dealing. There is no room for the dis.
honest breeder, and I ani glad to find
the reputation of breeders generally
will compare rnost fevorably with that
of any other class of male in a commun-
ity.
In my annual addle ss last. year I
called your attention to he fact that
we might be able to advance the best
interests of the breed bye, more liberal
showing of our stock at the fairs and
exhibitions, and I thiik you have
thought over that matt r and acted
on my suggestion, as the showing of
Leicesters at Toronto Fair the past fall
was conceded by many breeders to be
the best and assuredly the largest that
has ever been hown to the people of
this country, and if we would go into
the sheep_ deprirtment of this present
Winter Pair we will see a grand ltit of
Leicesters, in fact, the best showing
of any breed here represented. I am
very glad of this as it speaks well for
oureAssociation, our breed and our"
breeders.
We will have with us to night at
our banquet, which will immediately
follow this annual reeetin the Hon.
,
Mr. Jas. S. Duff, Provincial Minister
of Agriculture, and while this is the
first nine he has attended a gathering
of our breeders in his official capacity,

eleetione,but it was understood among
active Liberals that he was ewilling to •
give the Government of Hon Mr c -
Kenzie, then in power,an independent
support, if he was allowed to go in
without oppasition, and a nomination -
paper was prepared accordingly,signed
by 20 well-kuown Liberals.
The nomination nieeting was held
at Varna, and the Conservatives, in
ignorance of any arrangement that
had been made, readily nominated
their old candidate, so that it did not
become necessary for the Liberals to
nominate him.
The Conservatives of course expected
that the Liberals would nominate a
candidate, and were momentarily non-
plussed when the hour for making
nominations hal passed, and no
Liberal was in the field.
kfter the Returning Officer had de-
clared Mr Greenway elected. the Con-
servatives were naturally jubilant,
until, in the course of his speech, Mr
Greenway stated that he had resolved
to support Mr McKenzie on his trade
policy.
Very naturally the Conservatives
were highly offended at what they
considered treachery onMrGreen way's
part, and never forgave him.
The nomination paper prepared by
the Liberals on this occasion, but not
used, happened to come into the New
Eira's posessian last week, and the
signatures of well known old Liberals
are easily recognized thereon. Out of
the 20 only 7 are still living, and three
of them are residents of Clinton.

The idea that "every man has his
price.' and more especially men in pub-
lic iife, is not always borne out by fact
and as a refreshing relief from some
of the evidence brought out at theMar-

lowing circumstance is warranted, the
facts of which the writer knows to be
absolutely true.
