HURON FOR FRUIT.
To the Editor of Tho Star.
Sum, -In prospect of the develop-
ment of fruit "anning for supplying
the great West, as well as other mar-
kets, and Inc the benefit of those wish-
ing to go into frult•growing in this
Province, and wanting to know where
the most desirable place is to 1*
found, 1 would recommend Huron
county, at least three or four mllea in-
land from the lake, as the most de-
sirable location, considering climate,
soil, markets and economy In freight.
As to the claims of this section I
will give some facts which should be
worth eonsidoring. 1 have before me
tho report of the Ontario commis-
sioners to the World's Columbian Hee-
bibition held in Chicago In 1893, which
shows that there were more ex-
hibitors from Goderich in apples,
pests and plums than from any other
elty or town in Ontario; namely,
twentyflve exhibitors in apples, twen-
ty-four in pears and thirty -ono in
plums. The county of Huron had
one hundred and thirteen exhibitors
in apples, and captured a district
award out of six, and out of five In-
dPvidtal awarde for plums two were
taken by tilodericb exhibitors. There
were seven exhibitors In grapes and
two in peaches feint Goderich. p
abut it
was not a good year for peachs that
year. We generally have good crops
of peaches within three miles of the
lake; for apples, plums and cherries
there is no hotter district; and all
bust] fruits and strawberries are sure
croppers, and airy experience with
grapes and peaches has been very sat-
isfactory. 1 have thirty-four varieties
• of grapes under cultivation, of the
best hardy kinds. and they have pro-
dneed geed crops the past fifteen
yeata. I might mention thab I
have own two pound bunches on
my Wilder and lseaton varieties, and
twenty -sit -bunco banches on Camp-
hrlre -Early arid Agawain, and I can
make affirmation that 1 bavo never
seen better 4rr'apes of these periodos
than I have grown here. Certainly
11 Inver /law or 'heard of these kinds
producing so heavy bunches In any
other place or country.
The explanation of aur fruit's com-
ing to so great 'perfection is in our
very auitahte soil and splendid eit4n-
rte. Cas grape wood and all now

that the other five were Netter or even
as good, for I well remember seeing
all the exhibits competing for these
honour and the feeling of pleasure it
gave me in noticing the snporter ex-
hibit of Huron's apples, and I believe
if there htul been only ono award
Huron would have got It.
i will close these remarks by stetting
that the largest and finest Spies I over
saw were exhibited at the Dungannon
fall show last year. We had a eplepdid
show In Goderich but our neighbors
beat us In Spies. I had the pleasure of
seeing the grand exhibit of Ontario
fruits last fall at the fruit and flower
show in Massey Hall, Toronto, where
i hope to see Huron represented at
the next similar exhibition. Now,
with these superior records in. fruit -
growing and the splendid crops of
corn, peas and tomatoes that are
grown here, Goderich should be the
very hest place In the Province for a
successful canning factory. Thin is
my sincere belief.

A C. P. R. Through Exeter.
Exeter Advocate
A very enthusiastic meeting of those
interested in the proposed new branch
of the C. P. R. through this district
was held in the Town Hall, on Friday
night last. A letter from the Minister
of Railways bearing on the project
was read by Reeve Bohier. The letter
stated that a meeting would be held
in Ottawa, on Wednesday, Jan. 10, to
take up the application of the St.
Marys and Western Ontario Railway
Oompany for the approval of the route
reap in respect of its proposed general
location from the city of Woodstock,
via the city of London. the town of St
Marys and Exeter to Sarnia. Mr,
McCallum, President of the Board of
Trade. was asked to take the chair, and
Mr. J. G. Jones to sot as Secretary.
After a brief address the chairman
called on Mr. L. H. Dickson, who gave
a resume of the action of ajoint meet-
ing of the various districts interested
in the proposed new railway. He
thought It was a good thing at this
opportune time that a delegate or dole
gates he sent to Ottawa,
Mr. T. B. Oarllrtg, provisional direc-
tor of the proposed new road, was the
next speaker. Ile agreed with the
previous speaker and thought we
Should not leave a stone unturned to
secure the road.
A number of others addressed the
meeting on the same lines and all were
enthusiastic towards securing the pro-
pose new road If possible. it was
finally resolved that Mr. John W.
Taylor he the delegate. It was after
wards arranged that Reeve Dobler and
Mr. Dickson should go.

wan in form brought for conversion of
10140 bushels of wheat. part of a cargo
of 05,5850 bushels shipped by plaintiffs
to defeudants. But the real dispute
between the parties was as to the
price of the wheat, and the real issue
was whether defendants had or had
not paid In full for the 95,000 bushels.
and this turned upon the correspon-
dence between the parties. Platntltfs

defendants. at Goderich, Ontario.
Falconhrldge, 0. J., held that in order
that plaintiffs should succeed it was
necessary to read into the contract the
alleged custom that in a sale such as
that in question there was an implied
term that defendants in settlement
for cash wheat must supply the July
option, and that such it custom was
not proved. Plaint iffe contended that
it was necessary that they should ad-
duce evidence to explain the meaning
of the technical expression occurring
in the correspondence, "three over
and one-quarter under New
I ark J u 1 y," and it was ere
tablisbed by an overwhelming pre-
ponderance of testimony that the ex-
pression had reference to n well estab-
lished and well understood method of
dealing. The court agreed with the
judgment of the trial judge and die -
missed the appeal with costs. 3. H.
