KINDLY CIONGRATOLATtONO. - The
capable and energetic mayor of South-
ampton, Llent.-Col. Beleher, who was
the fleet to make the suggestion of
holding the Provincial Grand Orange
Lodge meeting in Goderioh, has the
vim and youth of the most proglessive
head of any corporation, in Ontario.
In a letter to our 1.1r. Tpdd, he says:

ing. Godorich to ell right. I find that your

A VETERA.N STOOKMAN.-W hen Al-
bert Mitchell, of Benmiller,went West
a couple of weeks ago with a carload
of beavy horses, he took with him W.
L. Ferguson's grey shire stallion, En-
field Masterman, which will be dis-
posed of in the Western Provinces.
Mr. Ferguson, it is said, will retire
from the hif.fte business and devote
his time to his farm. There isno man
in this part of Huron county who has
done more in the last 30 yearn for the
breedifig of heavy horses than has Mr.
Ferguson, and to his enterprise and
courage may be attributed much of
the good reputation which this county
enjoys for its good horses. Mr. Fer-
guson deserves the rest he will now
have from a business which has many
risks in it, and THE STAR, with tnany
friends, will hope the old veteran has
some substantial reward for -his long

'S COURT. -On VVednes.
.0.
number of cards and lettere have been
received by the committee from dele-
gates from distant points to the Grand
Orange Lodge in Goderich, compli-
menting the town on its attractiveness
and the kindly nature of our people.
These echoes of the past are a retninder
that Goderich has not been placed for
some time before the outside world in
any way that would bring future
profitable benefit. Probably one of
the most happy thoughts of the local
committee was when badges were
secured with a pendant representing
the Court House and Park. The sou-
venir cost conaiderable money, hut
the value of "walking advertisements"
cannot he overestimated. While
hundreds of them were given away,
there are many applicationa for these
souvenirs coming in, but the limited
funds will not permit of a duplicate
order. It does seem that it would
be wise were the town to secure histori-
cal and up-to-date souvenirs for distri-
bution to the outaide world. On this
occasion there was nothing, outside
business places, except what the local
Orangemen furnished free to advertise
Goderich, and they certainly deserve
credit considering the limited funds
at their disposal. There were people
here from Fort William to Windsor,
and although the time of the year was
unfavorable to nee Ooderich in all its
beauty, the impression has been most
favorable, and it is indeed pleasing to
know that the old town will reap
beneflt as a result of the visitome pres-
ence here.

atory to the meeting of the Sixth Olon-

therefor.
It was also decided to forward a pe-
tition to the U. S. Secretary pf State,
asking that the consulate at Lille port

agreed, on motion of Messre. R. S.
Williams and C. C. Lee, that a grant

Toronto Telegram.
Chief Justice Falconbridgia this
morning handed out a judgment of
national interest to this grain pro.
clueing country.
"It just means that it turna the
whole grain trade upside down," said
Mr. Featherstone Aylesworth, who,
with Mr, J. H. Moss, appeared for the
plaintiff, the Northern Elevator Com-
pany of Winnipeg. William Ptoud-
foot, K. (1., appeared for the defend.
ante, the Lake Huron and Manitoba
Milling Co., of Goderich.
The action ls based on the alleged
conversion by the defendant of 10,-
000 bushels of wheat, part of a cargo
of 95,000 bushels shipped by the
plaintiff. The real dispute was as to
the price of wheat. The action was
dismissed without costs.
In April, 1003. the defendants wrote
to the plaintiffs tor wheat. In May
the plaintiffs replied that they could
supply them "on a basis of 3 over
New York for One hard, and 12e.
over for One Northern e. 1. Georgian

The Chief .lustice says:
"The plaintiff elahns that in atating

gesting the adoption in selling to the
defendant of a well.established and
clearly defined method of dealing.

the purchaser of the cash wheat shall
