THE MILITIA CAMP.
LONDON SURPRISED V DECISION
iN FAVOR OF GODERICH
-
Advertiser Says It Means an Annual
Loss of 11100,000 to That City --
Londoners Declare It Was Gods-
rich's Energetic Campaign That
Brought the Camp Marc.
cciriunents of the London papers
betray a good deal of di/Appointment
over Use removed of the militia camp
to Godeiric,h. The Advertiser of last
Tbursdas peening bad the following:
(oh 11..dgina, D. 0. C.. bas received
weed' dust the militia camp of the
western district iII Iw hila in the
future at (anderich.
Lest night the message came. noti-
fying hien of the tact.
It With understood that the camp
would he held in Loudon this year.
and as a gestalt all the ineparatione fur
it bave been made bete with that end
in •iew. How ever, av soon as the of-
ficial annouticetureit came !bat Gude-
rich we. aeleeted se the -it... all plans
had 1t) he changed.
The dates aunounced are front Jone
19 to J • 30. It will In shout the
moue sized- (Amp an last year. The
artillery will go to PetAwawa. while
the cavalryawill go to Magma..
Next yealorthe infantry, cavalry and
artillery will all naip at Gorterirla
making. it a very large affair.
The city of London will foe- about
111110,000 a year by the change. aVben
the croup increases in size the amount
will be b larger.
Much' diaappoinunent is expreesed
among the citizens over tbe tact that
tbe change has been made.
It was confidently expected that the
camp would come Isere. the finance
committee of the city council having
made arrangements to lease a lenge
farm south of the city for the pur-
poses of drill.
However. Godelich waged a great
oompaign for the camp. For mane
wombs they have been working with
that end in view. There were several
deputations to Ottawa to toga their
claims, and in other ways the alleged
advantages of Goderich were impreas-
ed upon the militia departmeat.
"Yes, we have received ward that
the, camp will go to 0-ode:Bich this
year." said Major Shannon to The Ad-
vertinr, nn bebalf of Col. Hodgins,
who was eogaged and could not he
seen. "A telegram came last night
anoouncing that fact. and we are now 1
issuing orders to that effect. and mak- 1
ing the necessary preparation,. Tbis
enda a strong campaign on behalf of
Goderich citizens. They etarted out
ionic time age and have bent all their
energiee toward bemiring the ciunp.
"They bad plans and profiles of tbe
rilopaseci training grounds
Prered.
ey had any quantity of in rormaa
tion in band to show why the camp,
should go to their town. I must say 1
that they really did put up a tine cam -1
pawn. 1 understand that deputa-I
Lions. several of them. went to 0tta-
wa, to explain their position. they
never let up for one moment. and the
decision to hold tile camp there is a
tribute to their persevet slice.
"I have no desire to criticise. but it ,
duce net seem to me that the city of
London urged their case as did the
Goderich people. Had they done so. t
the outcome :night have been differ-
ent It now seems probable that the
camp will remain in Goderich for
many years to come.
-We have no knowledge of the fact
that all the officers of the regiments
attending camp were in favor of the
change. As a matter ot fact no ex-
Ihression of ipinion was asked. The
°Scent were hot cm:nutted. However
the citizens of Outlet ich tuay tate had
inter% war with all of tissue ter oti
titin that adorn:Alaimo, but e have
slot 19en &eked to teat the f ling of
the o ans. Perhaps that was part of
the tiodericb campaign.
"The agitation to change the casup
commenced back in 1907. It will he
remembered tbat at Dant time there
was an agitation on the temperance
question. In 1908 there was still more
agitation, and the result wag that A
round robin signed by practically all
the officers in camp was sent to the
Department waking tor a change.
Since that time, I piesunee, there hate
been more or leas of a move to take it
away from London. I am of the opin-
ion that tbe interference at the time
mentioned bad much to do with the
present baste of affeirs.
"At Clattered:I we will have no
trouble controlling the men. They
will do as good work, if not better.
(ban here. and we have plenty of
room. Howe% er, some of the officers
regiet that we are leaving this city."
••I am very sorry that the camp is
leaving Lanidoo." said Mayor Beattie.
"I think we did all we could to hold it,
herr. but apparently it was impassible
to do so. It i• undoubtedly true tbat
the tetopeiance agitation of some
years ago has had something to chi
with the decision to leave the city. lr
means a big loss to London. The
camp was a good thing for the mer-
chants, and I am awry to see it go."
Dr. Hany T. Reason. president of
the Board of Trade. wap also disap-
pointed at the decision of the Militia
Department to remote the camp from
itindon. He had hoped that it could
be kept herr. but the decision of tbe
authorities bas settled the case, prole
ablv for all time to come.
"the officers, so fair as I can learn,
were not in favor of going to (lode -
rich, raid la. If. A. Stevenson. one
of the officers of the Twenty-sixth
Regiment. "Some of them found it
bard to teat tut men to go north. as
they prefeired to come to a city.
HOWeVer. the -re bait been some agita
tion to go to Goderich on the part 01
some officers, and this. Nicked by a
good catnpaign on behalf of the citikens
of that place. made it certain that the
Government unmet grant tbeir re-
quests. -
What The Free Prose Says.
The Free Press said tin part):
Cols Hodgins was asked whether it
were likely that the camp would be
located at Goderich for all time.

have nothing to indicate that. the mat-
ter of choosing a permanent cramp has
been considered.•
Major Shannon. D. A. A. G.. stated
that he t bought that the Deplete inetitat
intention was to diecoter if (he limb--
rich ground, were suiteble.
Mayor Beattie. who has been keep-
-
inir in touch with the Department in
an effort to land the catnp for London
inn -again. received wool beat week 1
that no land would be purchased thio
year. He was urging the purchase ef
tbc al A It . city.
and it would appear that London has
a good chance of getting the ramp for
neat yearend in future years.
Militia men of London. while de-
ploring the removal of tbe camp from
a commercial standpoint. look upon it
an a sort of mixed blessing from the
military standpoint. The careless,
was- in wbich some of the rural egi-
nents camping here year after year
are tinifol turd is said by the office's. to
hear had a had effect on the men of
be ,city regiments and upon the
people in general. giving them an
erroneous opinion of Canada's militia
men.
Word was received at the barracks
this morning announciog that the
crimp was to he held in June, and
ordering the drill instructots stationed
et the barrecks to attend the camp
thele in June.
I Advert(sement.)
WILL RECIPROCITY INCREASE FARM
VALUES?
(From The Canadian Century.
Advocates 1 re•cipoccity are making
statements to the effect- that the adop-
tion of reciprocity will immediatelv
increase the value of Canadian farm-
lands 2: per cent. or more. Instead of
making wild guesses let us get et the
facts. Since the reciprocity negotia-
tions began the United States Govern-
ment has had a report prepared by
experts showing tbe comparative
value per acre of Improved farm lands
in 1900 and 1910 in various border
Staterfeind in the Canadian Provinces
adjoining them. This report states
that hetween 19011 and 1910 the value
of improved fast, lands increased 67
per cent. ili Maine, 37 per cent. in
New Hampshire. Xi per cent. in Ver-
mont, 1141 per cent. in Nova Scotia, 120
per cent. in New Brunseick, 70 per
cent. in Prince Edward Island, 90 per
cent. in Quebec, 43 per vent. in On-
tario, :it per cent. in Michigan, 77 per
cent. in Minnrsote. MS per cent. in
Manitoba. all per cent. in Saskatche-
wan and 158 per cent. in Alberta.
The great influx of matters in Mani-
toba. netlike tchewan and Alberta
account* It i the rapid increase in
farip values in those Provinces ; but
wheat is the explanation of the extra-
ordinary incresne in tat ru values in
tbe three Maritime Pt ovine' lc of Can-
ada r Why did Nova taani• farm
widower increase 181 per eent. while
farm values in the twighboring state of

The Price or Barley.
From October 1, 1890, to August 27,
1(444, the United States custom. duty
on barley was :10 cents per bisehel.
From August 27, 1844, to July 24. 18417,
the duty was thirty per cent. 'id val-
orem, equivalent to a little over ten
cents per bushel. On July 24, 11497, the
specific duty of thirty cents per
was restored and it hen been cotitin-
ued Over 'dace. Of course (luring it
period of 21 yeais there would
ally be considerable veriest a .nic in
pricea, but for purposes of cemearison
it will tis fair to take the threw y. ars

MONTREAL. April IQ -There was an

for Manitoba spring wheat. and bids la
some Mitances were-1(00higher, but eves
at this advance they were P.144 k Per
bushels out of line. The Inquiry for oat,
was also good, but on account of the re-
cent advance in prima in the wort and
tae higher rates of ocean freight, bide
were id to Id out of Line. Owing to the
recent wee/room In wheat, and the fact
that lake and rail freights from the west
will be reduced in a few days, coupled
with the oontlaued cutting. a weaker
feeling developed In the flour market.
and prices for spring wheat grade* were
