All the members of the town coun-
cil were present at the regular meet-
ing last Priday night.
A letter from the 1). & l', Company,
in answer to the town's request for a
guarantee that the Company would
have a boat call all season before
undertaking to put in the spike asked
for, was received. The letter stated
that the Company was waking are
rangemsnta for the City of St. 1p;uace
to call here twice it week during the
Doming summer.
Councillors Dean and Humberthought theme ehoold be a wore speci-
fic undertaking from the Company
that the boat would call 11.rw for the
whole season, but. as it was under.
-stood an agent of the Coo'pany would
be in Goderich in a few days, the
letter was referred back to the com-
mittee in the meantin.e.
A letter from the Dominion Securi-
ties Company stated that it had ac-
cepted delivery of the town deben-
tures recently issued, and the pur-
chase price. plus. accrued interest, had
been deposited to the credit of the
town.
A letter being received trout the
public school baud to the effect that
James Tait had i espxn
igned his iition
on the board, the matter was referred
to the special committee. Mr. Tait
was elected for the years llltJ8-IU1O,
and an election is necessary to fill out
his term.
A tax notice froom the township of
Goderich for taxes on the town gravel
pit was referred to the finance com-
mittee..
A letterr, from the superintendent o
immigration with reference to th
deportation of George Kell and famil
Was referred to the special committee
A letter from W. Pr•oudfoot, as fol
lows, was received :
"Aso afraid our attempt to arrange
with the Government to rent or sell
the Attrill property has fallen
through. The Department says it is
too hard up to do either one or the
other this year. It the town desires
to attempt an arrangement there is
no time to be loin,"
The Mayor stated that when in
Ottawa he and Councilor ,Craigia had
seen the Minister of Militia and he
bad stated that the Government
would neither rent nor buy at pre.-
ent, and, as it seemed that the camp
was to be at London this year any-
way, the letter was filed.
A letter from Rep. Elliott changed
the terms of his proposition to them
town for the building of a grain ele-
vator froa loan-of;1,UUu for a-5,(Ml{1-
bushel elevator to a loan of $2,500 for
a 10,000 -bushel elevator.
A letter from ('ox, Kimball &
Stowe, of Buffalo, in behalf of their
clients, the Cameron Septic Tank Co.,
of Chicago, caused some amusement.
This company seemed to be under the
impression that the town had in-
stalled a septic tank for sewage dis-
posal and claimed that the town was
infringing on its patent., Deputy
Reeve Reid suggested that' the cum -
many must be referring to the sedi-
mentation basin and Councillor
Humber added, "Surely there is -no
patent on that."
The question of a change in the
hours during which restaurants are
closed on Sundays in Goderich was
referred to the special committee, a
letter objecting to the present hours
being received from Hardy & Owens.
of Stratford, solicitors for AttleVasa*.Vase. Mr. Vaseos was heard in
support of the request fur a change.
A request from the water and light
commission for the sul 'talon of a
bylaw to raise 1&),()(10 for the building
of a new intake pipe brought some
clueatione from councillors, in answer
to which the Mayor' said it was in-
tended to have a competent engineer
make a recommendation on the beet
method to pursue before anything
was done, and probably as soon es the
commission had something definite to
lay before the public a public meeting
would be called to discuss the matter.
An account from Janlcr Mitchell for
11120 for assisting the ne* town clerk
in his duties from February 1st to
lUth was ordered to be paid.
Reeve (:allow'. motion that the fees
for the registration of births, atm -
elegem and deaths be paid to the town
nstad of retained by the clerk was
the cause of a division in the council.
Councillor! Oraigie, Jordan, Humber -
and the Deputy Reeve voted in favor
of their going to the clerk and Iteeve
billow and l'ouncillors Hallows, Run-
nings and Dean in favor of their being
paid to the town. The Mayor broke
he tie by voting in favor of the fees'
being payable to the town.
The public works committee recom-
mended as follows: That after get-
ing estimates on cost of putting a
new roofing on summer hotel etre
recommend that a new roof be put on
nd that Pinder & Paulin'. offer to
put on 2-ply�Brantford roofing for the
$
um of 2U4.o0 be accepted, the roof -
ng too be guaranteed for ten years;
hat public works committee took into
he matter of people fixing flab nets in
he summer hotel, with power to act ;
hat no action be taken ou moving the
council chamber upstairs; that in the
matter of spite. for 1). & C. boat at
ock the council call for tenders for
urnishing suitable spites and driving
save 'piles to be all feet Ing and not
s
ethan 14 inches' in diameter at the
utt ; that the pillars recommended
to
be put in at the summer hotel be of
cement brick on a cement footing;
hat a carload of cement brick bre pur-
ha.ed ; that property -owners con-
cerned he notified as to the cost of
ewers constructed last year; that the
ouncil advertise that the town in-
tends to construct sewers on certain
arta of Newgate, 8t. David's and
.ighthouse ltr•eete on the local im-
provement plan ; that needed repairs
o the road .eraper be loft in the
ands of the public works coutmittee.
As to the repair of the roof at the
'tomer hotel, Councillors Humber,
unnings and Dean expreaed them -
!VW. as in favor of patching the old
oaf instead of putting on a new one.
The Deputy Reeve maid that C. U. Lee
nd W. Pinder said the roof was rot -
n. C. J. Harper had an offer in for
pairing the roof and guaranteeing it
or five rearm. The other dealer., Mr.
Lee and Mr. Pinder, thought • new
roof should he pet on, but if the man -
n decided to patch the toot they
anted an opportunity to put in a
tender. Mr. Ramer claimed the roof
as in good condition. Mr. Harper
nd Mr. Pinder were precept perwrm-
ll and Mr. Lee was represented by
Rob. Or•algie, This clause of the re-
port was finally referral back to the
committee to ask for tenders for the

repair of the roof, the council to go to
the hotel and examine both the roof
and the rumenta of the building. The
Deputy Reeve was the only member
of the council to vote against this
course, believing that • new roof was
required. The clause of the report
with reference to putting ce,neut
brick pillars under the summer hotel
was referred back to the committee,.
Cunocillor Munnings thinking that
cedar posts un cement footing would
last twenty-five years, and the clause
with reference to the purchase of cem-
ent thick also went reek to commit-
tee. The other clauses of the report
were carried.
A report from the fire committee
recommended another spring ou the
Bose wagon ; the purchase of twenty-
four hove rings; that a bylaw be pre-
pared to have people wishing to build
make application and receive a per-
mit before doing so; that H. Mclean
be notified to put a fire escape at the
Opera House.
rhe clause with reference to the
securing of a permit before build-
ing was amended to include the
revision of the town building bylaw
and the clause with reference to tbe
fire escape et the Opera blouse was
sent back to the committee for fur-
ther consideration. Councillor Jor-
dan advocated a broad fire escape
from the tack of the main floor of the
hall leading down to the street over
the sidewalk to provide a ready way
for the people in the pit and under the
gallery of getting out of the building
in case of fire, Councillor Runnings
had suggested a platform and stair-
way arranllt'went running abliquely
across the front of the building with
platforms at the gallery level and at
the main Iloor lereL but Councillor
Jordan thought this would be quite
inadequate.
The market millilitre recow-
wended that the write • and Tight com-
mission ire notifedTi hove tT,eir pip-
ing and other goods fs w the market
grounds . that hthe ch.irwan of the
t t
public works committee have the
town urn clean up the market
grounds; that the town clerk notify
the 'present market clerk to pay last
year a rental and also this years nom-
inal rental. Adopted.
.Councillor- Jordan raised. the ques-
tion of the proposed market building
end wanted to get the feeling of the
council as to the best location. He
himself was iu favor of the present
location.
Councillor Runnings on tits other
hand thought the present location
wan not satisfactory. A market was
not the proper thing to have next to
the public library and there was not
enough ground there. He advocated
Victoria park as being snore central
fur farniers.
Councillor Dean agreed with Coun-
cillor Jordan. Either the present site
or the property on the other side of
Mr. Cutts would be satisfactory.
Speaking again, Councillor Jordan
said a necessary to a successful mar-
ket was the people as purchasers fully
as much an the farmers, and the pres-
ent site was more central for the
people than Victoria park would he.
The Mayor said he supposed there
was a question whether the people.
wanted is -market at all or- not.
The Deputy Reeve said he was in
favor Of a market if it cearid be made
a succese and was in favor of the pres-
ent location.
On motion of Councillors Jordan
and Humber the market committee
was instructed to bring in . report an
to plans and price.
The smatter of filling the dual posi-
tion of chief of police and street in-
spector was referred to the special
committee to report, Coun -Wore Jor-
dan
osdan and Humber voting againat this
course, being in favor of advertisigg
for applications at once.
The council then adjourned.
Burns' Nephew in tioderich.
We have read with much interest.
in a copy of The Montreal Standard
handers to U8 by Mr. Jaynes Stewart,
South street. an address given before
tbe Burns Club of Montreal some two
or three years ego by William Drys-
dale, of Montreal, on "Burns and Ca-
nada." Mr. Drysdale showed in a
very interesting and clear manner
that there were a number of links con-
necting Burne' memory with our ,wn
country, and one to which Me. Stew-
art has particularly drawn our atten-
tion is stated in the following para-
graph :
"Irl 1859, it is on record that there
resided at Goderich, Ont., Mr. Wil-
liam Begg eldest son of William
iieegg and his wife, who was leabolla
Burns, the youngest and favorite
sister of I(obert Burns."
it would he interesting to know if
there is now anyone in Goderich, or
in the circle of The Signal's readers,
who remembers this nephew of the
great Scottish hard. We should be
glad is hear from any person who has
any recollection of him.
AFTER SICKNESS.
Vinod Built up Strength for a Bowmao-
ville, Ontario, Man after All Other
Means Had Failed.
"i was sick with pleura•pneumonia
for twelve weeks, and after I got
around I slid not min very fast, and
1 took nine bottles of Emulson of .Cod
Liver Oil. but the twins in my lungs
were still there. 1 was Ib Jury
Lovell's drug store and they recom-
mended Vinod, so 1 tried a bottle and
before i had finished the first bottle
the pains were all gone and i was
getting stronger, and then 1 took
another tattle, and now i am well,
thanks to Vinol." John D. Graham,
Howmanvllle, Ontario.
This is because Vinol is the Crest cod
liver and iron tunic in the world. It
creates a hearty appetite, strengthens
the digestive organs, makes rich, red
blood and replaces weakness with
strength. The beneficial effect of
Vinod in rases of feeble old people is
'imply remarkable.
We invite all old people, delicate
children, weak, rundown persons,

CHURCH UNION,
Contributed.
A scheme for the uuion of the Pres-
byterian, Methndist and Congruge-
tional churches of Canada has been
for some time under the considera-
tion of • joint committee composed of
some of the most eminent men, both
clerical and lay, of the three churches.
This committee, having adopted what
they believe to be • 'satisfactory and
practicable basis for union, has
presented its report to the churches
coucerned, who will now pas judg-
ment upon it before further steps
ale taken.
,fudging from • copy of the report
before us, it really seems as though a
union of these churches is nearer than
even the most optimistic have dared
to hope. If the scheme is wrecked it
will most likely be through the action
01 individual congregations. If a suf-
ficient number of congregations should
vote against the adoption of the pro-
posed basis it will probably have the
effect of postponing church union in-
definitely. However, on reading the
retort one finds it bard to believe that
many congre,ratiots will reach au un-
favorable verdict. It is to be ex-
pected, of -course, that there will be
difficulties raised, it is more than
likely that., in amine cases, jealousy
and ill-feeliug will arise, hut it is to
be sincerely hoped that there will be
a minimum of such feeling, and t bat,
for the sake of • great good, individ-
ual or local prejudices and prefer-
ences will be put aside.
After giving an account of the pro-
ceedings of the committee, and the
reports of sub -committees, then a
brief history of the union movement,
the report proceeds to give the docu•
menta agreed upon by the committee
as a basis for the desired union. As
the whole matter will doubtless be
laid before the various congregations
concerned it is unnecessary to quote
extendvely here. ,We might men-
tion, however; that in matters of
doctrine the Calvinistic and Arminian
sections of the churches have corne to a
moat amicable agreement. fn govern-
ment, the churches are already sn
much alike, except in mines for their
various church courts. that by a little
compromise an excellent system has
leen arranged. A great, but not an
undesired change, so far as the Meth-
odist church is concerned, will be
that there will be no time limit to the
pastorate. But there will be a "set-
tlement committee consisting of win
isters and laymen appointed by each
confer.•ence(synod, or union) annually,
whose duty it shall be to consider
all applications from ministers or
charges for settlements within the sec-
tion over whiclt it has jurisdiction,"
and "roinistere on 'their own appli-
cation and a pastoral charge through
its governing body may at the end of
any one year seek a change of pas-
toral relation by application to the
settlement committee."
It may be some years before the
matter of the colleges belonging to
the uniting -bodies can be finally
sett'tfi-tt tspoestble t )rat, In e
union, there may be amalgamation of
some of the existing colleges, but such
mattes may be safely trusted to the
wisdom of the leading men in the
churches. The same is true of the
publishing interests of the various de-
nominations. A union of colleges
anti at union of publishing houses
should both be productive of great
strength.
Since it does not seem practicable
at present for all Protestant denow-
inations to unite, a union of the Pres-
byterian, Methodist and Congrega-
tional churches is the next beet thing,
and if successfully brought about it
would be a great blessing to the
church, and .would probably lead in
time to a union of all Prota.lwt
tlrxtles. ---
ASSISTANCE IN
UNDERDRAINAGE.
Demonstration of Method. of Surveying
for Drainage.
Underdrainage will pay for itself in
from one to three years. Perhaps no
example in Ontario demonstrates this
more conclusively than the drainage
of "the Rittenhouse farm" at Jordan
Harbor, in the Niagara peninsula.
Originally it was very wet, so much so
indeed that often the crops were
scarcely worth cutting. in iiIX3 M.
F. Rittenhouse, of Chicago, gave it to
the Government for a horticultural
experiment farm. In 19117 it was
underdrained, the linea of tile being
laid about font and a half rods apart.
in many places the subsoil was very,
very heavy, so that the digging was
hard and the coat high, about 925 an
acre. In I908 on the part that was
formerly the wettest it grew sixty -
Ave bushels of hate •to the acre, there-
by practically paying for the drainage
in one. season ; tor the year previous
the oats on the same laud were not
worth cutting.
The Rittenhouse farm was surveyed
and the drainage system for it plan-
ned by the Department of Physics at
the Ontai io Agricultural College.
Any farmer in Ontario who is contem-
plating uodetdrainege may on appli-
cation have his farm suryeyed, the
drains planned. and the grads deter-
mined. A finished inap containing
this information and also the sire of
tile advisable is sent to the owner it.
soon as completed. The only outlay
connected with the survey is the trav-
elling expenses of one- man from
Guelph to the farm, consisting of rail-
way fare, meals and cartage of instru-
ments. The railway fare is only one
cent a mile each way for this work.
At the conclusion of each survey a
drainage demonstration is held in the
field, sod simple practical methods of
surveying a drain, determining its
grade and securing a true bottom are
demonstrated, and the benefits of
drainage discussed. '•
Anyone desiring a survey and Ilan
should apply to Prof. Wm. H. Dayy,

Another offered the new Spring Goods that,
wore stopped in transit for this firm, which were
held by the Bank of Nova Scotia, and so on.
Nearly every wholesale concern in Toronto
put qn its special sale.
For retail merchants it was a buying oppor-
tunity without precedent, and by far the most
important trade event Canada has known for a
decade.
This was a chance for us; as we needed every-
thing a Dry Goods store requires we lost no
time in getting on the scene, and inspected the
stock before it came tip for sale, and finding out
where the most desirable goods were, and being
the first in when the (doors were opened on the
first day of the sale, we were able to get several
cases of desirable goods that we would be able
to sell at a very low price. So, on Thursday at
2 p.m., when the store opens, we hope to have
everything in shape, and all these goods on view
so as to make our opening days records for
the rest of the year.
Our past records in doing exactly as we advertised should be a guide to you
to know what( -mss -mean when we tell you that for our opening days we will
have special vglues that should appeal to anyone know( g the real value of
money. - Herb are some of tri t things to watch for in talo Dress Goods depart-
ment. The opening days will be sure to clean out several lines of these excep-
tional values, and we advise your early choosing for greatest range.
