Act," with reference to the County
Council rescinding the grant of $10009
year 1902, The first part of that edi-
torial states that it was unanimously
given. This is positively not true.
hen thodeputation of the Daughters
of the Empire waited on the County
Council, the matter was referred to
the Executive Committee ; when that
committee brought in their report it
was then discussed in committee of
the whole Cowen'. 1 then moved an.
amendment that no grant be given,
several of the then members speaking
against the grant. The iieport carried
on a division b only one or two in a
full Council. Was that "unanimous'''
On account of its 'ben* discussed in

yeas -and nays were not taken, Since
the year1902 tee have had two elections
for the County Council ; onIy four re-
mainof he sixteen members, and
to. the Marine Hospital, assed in the
three of those opposed the grant in
1902, Consequently we nowhave on'
the Board twelve new men from the
various districts, Have . they not a
right to- be consulted as to how the
people's money is to be spent ? Row
are thy connected with a resolution'
which was passed ;in. the year 1902
What obligations and promises -are
they repudiating ? In what way are
those men breaking faith with the
directors of the Marine Hospital ?
You should give those men credit for
havif'ig an opinion of their own and
the right to use it, without'rushing to
your sanctum to abuse them. Several
reasons. were adyanced, while discuss+
ing the grant. The House; of Refuge

$10,000, since the year 1902; in-thntt..ad-.

"how do you like . Manitoba?'". the

Manitobians, but I can tell them if
they put Manitoba into the Northwest
they might have quite ..a time finding '
it, for we could hide it in one corner !
of it.. t -i
Now, I Will tryto tell you h •
y
experience of tht coun' what ten
P country •has been
since T went there tin June 1896. At
that time it was in: a• dull -state, the
country: was thinly.,•settled,. in. fact:
ethereevere only-• eo "le.settled alo
y P n�_the�.T
main. line of; the C. P. R., and out from
it from ten to fifteen miles. Now, the''
main line :of the C. P,; R. mine about
one hundred miles north of ;the
American Boundary, so you can see
there were ninety miles: •of unsettled•
counfry south of theroad at that time,
it was the same both east and west •of
me ; but you must not think all the
land•on east side the road for 10 and 12
miles
i was settled, t ..for. there
half of it, -was not
t, for you might' drive two or
three Miles between houses, and you
could buy good land tor $2 to $2.50 an
acre, and get your pick of millions of
acres • at that price ; but. Mr Editor,
what do you think you. have to pay
for it. now ? you would . have: to pay
for a farm that has some improve-
menta an it, from $20 to • $30 an. acre.
I live about 20 miles' east of :Iridian
Head since. March lOth, len, : before
that,1 lived and practised in t town
called Grenfell, 16 miles east of where
I ani now et Wolseley, and a •ggr�eat
• stretch of c nintry east of Indian Head
was very ch yr in: the: summer.. until
about 1900, when the climate seemed
to take a change, and in 1001 we had
ane of the finest crops I weer Saw.
That was the year there WAS snob a.
blockade of wheat.. i' . have seen'bags
of wheat piled up outside the elevators.
in every spot they could be piled, and
the farriers built graineries all oyer
town to the number of 250, to.. hold
from 1000 to 2000' bushels each, and
every place in town, where a lloiid of
wheat could be 'stored was full ; now,
Mr Editor it seems strange that men
from here, and especiallyof the Con-
servative party,, will tell you that the
Northwest don't want any more trans-
portation means, when it is one of 'the
most vital questions in the 'west ; if
the west don't get naive, there is no
good in trying to settle the country,
if there are not more railroads built
into it. The eniigratiou will stop and'
it would be a great pity. Why, the
more people come to the west it is all
the better~ for the'old province, for it
snakes a market'for manufactured
goods from the East.
:Mr Editor there is somethinin, r want
to tell the people of the East, and 1
will speak as plain I can. That
-people of the west aro fully able and
wi.liing 'he' atone to . their country ;
now see what a howl .the: Conserva-
tives made about the Northwest
School Blll,;.,the ball was started in
Toronto last' winter, at the time the
Dominion Government was going to
give the Northwest the Autonomy
Sill and before it .came before the
house. there was a cry sent -out to
fight it; now in 1890, what party tried
to foist a Clerianal
al School Bill on Man-
itoba. I would alinost.venture to shy,
he Same party, who is howling about
er whoa law in the west voted for

they dicl like one of their party, e

following echool laws, they have to

books ; the teachere h+eve to go to tbe
Normal School to be examined; there.
is one Claes of school inspectors for all
one'half hour all half gpast three to
four, and ()ethane and Protestant
have the same privilege ; and if they
don't corPly with this echool law they
get no Government money -grant, T
think Mr Editor, it Would have been.
a good thing for those that are howl-
ing about, if there had been mare
truth and religion taught in the
schools they. attended, when they Were
young and their minds were not con,
taminated with politics. Our Iand

Or 7 Tot
Excitement ran high Thureday'even,
ing last, when the Goderich septette of
Mickey players appeared an the local
ice with a crowd of supporters, num-
boring.upwards of 200. It was rum-
ored .thatthey .had "come down for
blood,"; and such proved: to be the
case, when we consider the score when
time was called, and. the fact' that one
of. Clintons best players, in the person
of;W, McRae, received • an ugly gash
ander his'left eye, from a stick, which
required three '.stitches to draw to-
gather. The playing was fast through-
out, especially -during -first hall when
the score stood at 3-0 . in the via:itoro'
favor.
While the players were. enjoying.
half-time intermission, plenty, of
amusement. was ' afforded the large
crowd bf.: spectators, by the above ! fee This cif rd plenty of t for
visitors,•who took:oceasion to scare up
of games, The fore games having been
1 •played without practice,• were more
I than counteracted by their good work
lin the latter games, The, victory of
the Gaderich team over ()Nutmeat both
1 places is not a' surprise. The Goderich
i team,with one exception,is•constructed' .
of much heavier players than any team
in the league, they had the opportunity
to practice when none others had.
'However,we contend thatthere•shouli:
be some stipuiation in•the Rules and
Regulations in the Junior classes,
w e y players will be limited to a cep•
tain'weight and height, not to be ex-
ceeded in any case such a' regulation .
would be advantageous to all concern-:

Although the impression had gone
abroad that Clinton had” disposed of,
their game with, London beforehand, it
was;proven on Tuesday that the.Cline
ton I ockey team i8 not so' unscrupu-
lous. • Judging from the playing of the
London team here, it•would have been
foil for them to attempt another game
withGoderichthis season. The most
exciting and cleanest igame played on
on the local rink this season Was the
above'mentidned. The first half was
characterized by swift. playing, -
laity by the local players, who rained
shot after shot upon the visitors goal,
5 of which found a resting place. in the
net, while the visitors registered Home.
In the second half,London put forth ex-
