According to the Owen Sound Sun of Tuesday Last, the Huron k On- tario Electric Railway Co., which contemplates among other projects the construction of an electric line from.Owen Sound to Menfot•d, is seek- ing a street railway franchise over the streets ot Owen Sound, with a view to running a street railway service in conjunction with their traction line. They will also ask the corporation of Owen Sound to subscribe for a block of stock in the company, probably $50,000 as n proper amount. In return for this, as The Sun understands it, Owen Sound will be Houle the ter- minus of their three -track electric road from Toronto, which will give that town a hour service from Toronto. It is reported that this roach, when built, will work in conjunction with the Canadian Northern Railway, which is known to he on the look -out for It port on the south shore of the Georgian Bay. That there is some- thing in this might he taken from the fact that the Huron tic Ontario Co. has now under construction a railway be- tween Toronto and Oshawa, and is projecting the road eastward. Mr. A. Mc.D. Allen, of Goderich, who is one of the leading figures in the company, was in Owen Sound looking over the territory and interviewing a number of the business men nn the question of a street railway. Mr. Al- len said that although no proposition had yet been made to the town, he had consulted with Mayor Joyce and several of the officials. The matter may come up at the next council' meeting. Mr. Allen said that in his own town, Uoderich, the Huron & Ontario Co. expected to build a road next summer, and with this in view the town had taken $50,000 and grant- ed them a franchise over the streets. The new owner of of the Blake block, Mr. Brown, will remodel the whole property, put in plate fronts, extend Dean's grocery, and improve the buildings generally.

The Turret Cape arrived in port on Sunday afternoon, and when sbe pass- ed between the piers the south pier was crowded with citizens, who had apparently journeyed to the dock to welcome the boat that brought the first load of wheat to the new elevator. The Cape tied up at the • elevator, and on Monday' morning preparations were made to trate off her cargo. By 9.30 a. m. all things were ready, a start was ramie, and in a few minutes the [machinery was lifting the fleet cargo of wheat ever lifted in Goderich by electricity. The machinery worked easily, did its work well, though run but slowly till noon. After dinner the speed was increased. and when work ceased for the day some 40,000 bushels had been elevated, towards the close 0,000 bushels being raised in 45 min- utes. On Tuesday work started at 8 a. m., and the machinery ran till the balance of the cargo, 85,000 bushels, had been binned in the elevator. AMONG THE CHURCHES. Inverness Camp, Sons of Scotland, will observe St. Andrew's Day by their usual church parade to 1Cnox church, next Sunday morning when Rev. Mr. Anderson will preach with special reference to the occasion. Clinton New Era : The congrega- tions at Willis churnh were large at both services ;last Sunday; Rev. Dr. Stewart delivered two excellent ser- mons in his usual thoughtful and practical manner, The . choir was as- sisted by Miss Keturah Brown, of Goderich, who rendered a solo at each service with her usual impressive style, in excellent voice and perfect enunciation. Miss Brown's singing is much appreciated in Clinton. ' The obsei vance of the World's Tem- perance Lesson by the Sunday schools of town, last Sunday, was a pleasing and successful event. The schools taking part were those of Victoria and North Street Methodist, Knox Presby- terian and the Baptist churches, and the union S. S. of Saltford, and the attendance was such as to till the en- tire auditorium of North street church. Mr. W. C. Pridham acted as chairman, Rev. Mr. Hazen gave the blackboard lesson, and Rev. H. W. Wright .and Mr. J. E. Tom gave short and appropri- ate addresses. The singing by the con- gregation was of course hearty, and solos by Mr. Chas. Fulcher and Mr. Sid Belcher were appreciated. The teacher training committee of the Ontario Sabbath School Associa- tion has been receiving considerable correspondence from those who have already taken the elementary course in teacher training, in which informa- tion is sought respecting an advanced course. The following advanced coarse of study has been planned, suc- cessful exatninntions in which will en- title persons to diplomas: In Bible study. text hook on "The Old Testa- ment and its Contents," by Robertson; "The New Testament and its Writ. ere," by Mc0lvmont.

In Sunday School history and organization—"The Origin and Expansion of the Sunday School," by Tremble, and "How to Conduct a Sabbath School," by Lawrence. In general Church History—"Landmarks of Church History," by Cowan. The committee has further recom- mended the holding of a summer school for 1907, to begin the second Tuesday in July. It is not yet de- cided where this institution will be conducted, but in all probability it will he held in some popular summer resort. Prepare for a Hard Winter. That the coming winter is going to he the hardest one for the past twenty years there is an abundance of signs to show, says an exchange, and among them may he mentioned : The corn husks are a foot and a half thick, and all the stalks lean to the West. The geese, ducks and chickens are growing a coat of fur under their feathers, and are rubbing borax on their feet to harden them up. All the one -eyed owls are leaving the country a month earlier than usual, and the bob -tailed squirrels are laying in sweet potatoes, as well as'nuts, for winter provisions. The farmer who has taken the trouble to investigate has found that all the toadstools on the old loge have wrinkles in them. The last time that this happened we had winter weather that froze the bandies of plows. Rabbits are sitting around with a humped -up look to them, and field mice have wrinkles in their tails. if this means anything it means twenty degrees below zero from November through to May.

I do not mean by this that I wish to discontinue taking your pa- per, however, as two " stars' are bet- ter than one." Congratulations, friend! Goderich has as pretty a lot of shade trees as can he found in any town our size in the Dondnion. Un- fortunately, however, they have been neglected. On many streets every other tree could be removed to advant- age and give better shade as well as produce more healthy trees, but in no case have these most useful ornaments to the town been pruned and made more healthy and graceful, except by odd private individuals. This is some- thing the Council plight consider with distinct advantage to the town, The following is from the Clinton New Era. The Clinton Business Col- lege is affiliated with the well known Wingham Business College: "Owing to the large attendance at the Clinton Business Coliege, the progressive man- agement have found it necessary to get larger apartments fitted up. An additional teacher, Miss Rosa McNee, of London, who is a gold medalist, ar- rived in town Saturday, and is in charge of the stenographic depart- ment, Knowing something of this institution and the thoroughness of its work, we can heartily recommend the Clinton Business College to those de- sirous of securing a commercial or stenographic education." The following from the London Free Prete of Saturday refers tongentle- man well known in Goderich and other parts of Huron, being a brother to Mr. John Scarlett, of Leadbnry: The many friends of Ald. Wm. Scarlett will be grieved to know that he has been confined to his house since the lat- ter part of last week, suffering from in- juries sustained by a fall at the Mich- igan Central station. He was hurrying to each a train, and it being after dark and the eastern end of the platform badly lighted. he tripped on the side- walk and fell very heavily, badly lacerating his knee and otherwise receiving a general shaking up.

Because the up -to date 20th century farmer reads the local paper. He wants to know what his neighbors are doing,'what is hap- pening in the world around him, and he wants to study the advertisements and find out where to buy goods. He doesn't say much about it perhaps, when he goes to the store to ao his trading, but just let a merchant adver- tise a special bargain and see if the up-to-date farmer doesn't find it out and take 'advantage."Tt Is also true that the1up-to-date farmer is the mer- chant's best customer. STAR ads. al- ways bring results. APPLES TO AUSTRIA.—The Stratford Herald says : " Mr. A. F. MacLaren, M, P., the other day shipped a barrel of the finest Ont..krio apples by express to the physician who treated him at Frankfort -on -the -Maine, in Germany, last summer, Prof. Dr. Carl Von Noor - den. The apples go to Vienna, which is Dr. Von Noorden's present address, he having in the meantime been ap- pointed to a professional chair in Vienna University, said to be one of the highest, if not the highest, medical positions in the world. The apples are sure to he honest, splendid speci- mens, as they came from Mr. Samuel Wiederhold, of North Easthope. There were five varieties in the barrel— Northern Spies, Tallman Sweets, Twenty Ounce Pippins, Snows and Golden Russets. To Vienna is a long trip for Canadian apples, but there is no reason why, properly picked and prided, they should not often go pro- fitably as far as that or further." HEADINfI FOR Go0ERICH. — From the following items from the daily press it looks as if good work is in pro- gress for Huron county and Goderich town, and all will be anxious to see it accomplished: "The Canadian North- ern Railway Company, known as the McKenzie -Mann Company, are apply- ing to ;the Dominion Parliament for permission to build 9 new railways or branches in Ontario. One of thein is to run from the Niagara river north- westerly, passing through or near Hamilton to Lake Huron, near Goder- ich. With branches of the Grand Trunk, the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian Northern, all competing lines, running through this county, we should be tolerably well supplied with railways." "Monday last was a red letter day for the city of Toronto. The first train over the Canadian Nor- thern Railway from Parry Sound to Toronto reached the city on that day. This is the Toronto link in the McKen- zie and Mann transcontinental railway system. On i the same day, also, the first power developed at Niagara Falls was distributed through the city. In the history of the city there have been few more important events than these two. Especially important is the com- ing of Niagara power." Holmesvllle. No'Es.—Mr. T.
