TIME TO MOVE.
Tows Council Wi71 Likely Take Action
Regarding E1sctric Railway.
1t is likely that the town council
will at an early data [make a move in
the matter of the Ontario West Shore
Railway. As [natters stand at
present the fifteen or sixteen wiles of
track are lying idle, And almost wee -
less in the uneompteteitl state of the
road, nothing is being done towards
completing the line to Kincardine,
and the municipalities which
guaranteed the bonds are paying out
interest for which no value is being
received. If the road is ever to be
completed and become of any -value,
the municipalities interested, it seems,
must take bold of it and decide to Put
some more money in the undertaking
rather than allow the large amount
in which they are aheady involved to
become a total lues.
It ie proposed that a reliable expert
be engaged to make so estimate of the
amount that would be required to
complete the road between Ooderich
and Kincardine, with suitable termi-
nal,, supply rolling stock end put the
road fully in shape to do business.
With this estimate before them the
municipalities could consider bow the
necessary funds for the completion of
the road could be raised. It would be
in 4order topproach the Govern-
ment for a subsidy, as the territory
through which the line passes is at
present lacking railway facilities
which other sectioni have secured
with Goverum.at aid. 'lois sbould
materially reduce the amount which
the municipalities would be required
W raise to put the enterprise on a
working basis.
The amount of business done over
the uncompleted line last fall by
means of the coostruction engine is
some indication of the large traffic
which may` reasonably be expected
when the toad is in proper shape to
handle the businee'..
The suggestion is frequently made
that the C. P. R. or the C. N. it. may
take over the road. This is entirely
problematical, and in any case the
sooner action is taken the sooner will
tbe toad be in a position to do business
whether it be purcbaased by some other
company or not. If the road is al-
lowed to go to erowplete ruin nothing
can he obwined fur it but the price of i
the rails If it is put in condition to
do business, it would be worth some- t
thing to the C. P. R. or later oo, per-
haps, to the C. N. H. to secure posses-
sion of it.
United action by the municipalities
of Godericb, AaLlield, Huron town-
ship and Kincardinc should be taken
at as early a date as possible to deter- i
mine what is to be done with the line.
CROPS IN HURON.
REVIEW BY GLOBE STAFF COR-
RESPONDEN r.
As a Whole the Outlook Is might, but
Rain Is Badly Needed in Some Sec-
tions -aur Farmers Feed Their
Grain Instead of Selling it-Dew1-
opm.nt Of the Apple Business.
Tuesday's Globe bad the following
letter trout a staff correspondent who
haw been writing up the crop prospects'
from different points in the Province.
The letter is dated from Ooderieb
July 13:
From grain -growing to the raising
of live stock and a more advAnoed
stage oi+ mixed farming is in brief the
history of agriculture in Huron in -.the
past ten years. The transition is
even now advancing a stage further,
and apple -growing is becoming more
and more one of the euple industries
of the county.
Light Rain m Huron.
Rain bat touched Huron ooly in
spots. The recent thunder -showers
have been largely of a local nature.
Some distticts have bad even more
rain than they needed this week.
Many have had quite enough to last
them a u -eek or so quite comfortably.
But, again. places only a few miles
away have escaped the .bowers alto-
gether, and are suffering severely i
consequence. Fora distance sf abou
fire miles around Godericb the
drought still prevail,. Farther nort
and farther south plenty of rain has
fallen. Around Winghane is also
dry district, with abundant showers
repot ted on all sides. In the vicinit
of Clinton there has beep rain, bu
more is needed.
TRE 1114/NAL PWIT.'NO OU., 121., PvaJssa
are largely rained through Baron,
have hese scarce.
Fruit -creepers' Assonarkn.
A fruit -growers' eo-operative also-
cLtion bas bean organised with Mr.
D. F. fiamlink as w imager and sec-
retary. As yet it it on a comparatively
email scale, with but thirty members,
but already it bee shown results in
the better care that mat beiog bestowed
oo the orchards. Not only among the
members alone are these results ap-
parent., but outsiders have seen the
bene[ is of spraying and pruning, and
have followed the example set them.
While there have not been very large
crops of apples through Huron in the
last two years, and notwithstanding
the appearance ot aphis in scum or-
chards, the prospect this season is for
a large atop in nearly all varieties.
Many young apple orchardb have been
planted out to the past year or so and
more are being planted this year. Ac-
cordingly, the outlook is that the ap-
ple output of Huron will be much in-
creased in a few yens. Mr.
Hamliok expecte that the co-oper-
ative aseociatioo will handle in the
Doming season about ten thousand
barrels. As the output of the county
is expected to he about one hundred
thousand barrel,, it will be seen [bat
the little association has pleety of
room tv grow.
As Good as Niagara.
Mr. Hamlink is enthusiastic of the
fruit -growing possibilities of h ou.
He claims that from (}oderich smolt to
the boundary is as rood as Niagara or
any other part of tbo Province. Hie
association has received a grant from
the county, and it is their intention
to make the first exhibit of Huron ap-
° oleo at the Ontario Horticultural
t Sbow next autumn.
h Peach Culture.
Peaches can be grown successfully
a in Huron. Mr. Hamllnk has had a
moderate-sized peach orchard for lev-
y eral years. leis tress have borne
t abundantly, and bave come safely
through the severe test to which they
were subjected last winter. Thepros-
pect for this year's crop is ezoellent.
e In the last year or so a number of other
e farmers have set out youcg peach
e orchards which may be expected to
bear fruit in a few years. Those grown
at present are, of course, but a small
proportion Of . tjie peaches consumed
• within the county, and the industry
is not yet sufficiently wall established
for the fruit to be shipped out. "Huron
peaches, however, have been preferred
in the local market to those brought
in from outside.
Crop Outlook Bright
Taking the county as a whole th
crop outlook is decidedly bright.. Th
fell wheat crop promisee to be o0
of the beet In years. Fields are to
be seen standing four feet bigb A
farmer near Wingbam told your cor
respondenttbet be expected to bar
gest nearly forty bushels to tbe acre
The average yield around Clinton is
expected to he as higb as twenty fire
bn.hels to the acre. (11 course there
are many sections where the crop
will be light. hut on the whole it will
be well above the average.
The spring crops bave been bedly
in need of rain, but where they have
had it there promises to be a fairly
good yield of troth oats and barley.
The straw will be abort, particularly
n the case of oats, but the beads are
filling nicely. in the dry districts the
result ot the crop depends altogether
on the weather.
Corn Its Backward.
Roots promise not so well, and corn
s also very backward in growth. in
some of the dry sandy sections farm -
ere were unable to plant the roots
or corn they intended. and accord-
ngly decided to sow buckwheat. The
weather has been so dry, however,
hat they were unable to tarn tbe
ground with the plows, and much
buckwheat is still udaow°. Potatoes
will be about ever.ge.
Hay will be up to the average. The
rop of clover was well up to the
tandard. 7lmotby, cutting of which
s under way, will be almost three -
natters of a crop. On old meadows
t is light. There is a good bottom to
most of it, however. and if rain bad
fallen earlier the crop would have
yielded abundantly. As it is tbeie are
many excellent fields, especially oo
new meadows.
Feeding More Profitable.
According to Mr. Alex. Cooper.
grain buyer in Godericb. for every
bundled Mrsbel. of grain that. is now
marketed here there were a thousand
bushels ten years ago. The difference
is explained by the fact that
Ontario is being fed to a much larger
extent by Manitoba wheat and oats.
The farmers around here have come
to the conclusion that they can get
better return, by feeding more of
their grain to their live stock than by
marketing It. Accordingly Huron
has Dome to he one of the great fat
cattle counties of the Province.
At present, however, fat cattle are
scarce. Opinions differ as to whether
or not there are a* many cattle o0
Use res as there were last year,
buttl 1e certain [bat there are much
fewer saltie of good quality. As the
county was pretty bare of cattle last
winter owing to the search of feed,
a Dumber of stockers Were
ilrcrsg t in last spring, and for the
most part they were pretty thin and
scraggy -looking animals. They have
base steadily improving on the pas -
tore, bowever, acid will sono be in
lair condition if rain rocas.. The
it' is a big one, for In sections which
bave not Aad rale in the past month
the p.tnrss are rapidty drying up.
One farmer who has a herd of about
twenty cattle no pasture told your
=Wadant that if there was not
e a week he would bave to
hits, hie cattle in,and feed them hay.
And the county is absolute( bare of
old bay. Foe during the last year,
what tise price was so hiig�h, there
were thousands of tons shipped out
ofmuch of it going to the
United tales. All the bay in eight
era* bought rap from outside. e-

aattoopp an early as this would 8. a

Farm Help Scarce.
That the farmers are prospering
goes without saying. Their ravings
accounts in the bank. are steadily
growing. The chief thing [bat logs
been worrying theta is that so many
of their young men have gone West
and that it is hard for them to secure
farm help. A number of farms have
been sold in t1e last year or so, and
farmers from Eesez county whose
land has been taken by farmers
from the United Stater have come
bere to live. Farm land is gelling at
from 1150 to $70 an acre.
Want District Representative.
Huron farmers have not district
representative of the Department of
Agriculture resident within the coun-
ty, but they want one, and havemsde
their wants known to the Ontario
Govern.neet. Nevertheless, a great
development hag taken place hi the
Methods used, particularly in regard
to the care of orchards. Huron is
also without rural mail delivery, and
it wants that, too. it is understood
that the establishment of several de-
livery routes is under contemplation
by the Government. The county is
well served by rural telephone liner,
several independent companies oper-
ating from different centres.

to a doctor who came later, but he

of Mr. Sweeney, the fellow -workman

Quaid stayed with the widow to
render such comfort as she could.
The body of Mr. Quaid was taken
to Wyandotte, where Coroner Maloch
took charge. An inquest will be held
Fi iday evening at 7 o'clock, at which
it will be sought to fix the blame for
the accident, if there is any.
The men bad just got back to work
after the end of the noon hour when
the storm broke. So sudden and e o
fierce was the onslaught of the wind
and rain that the workers had no
chance to seek shelter before the
crash came. Ewen Donovan, perched
high on the span of the bridge, did
not have time to jump to the river
below him•
A flash of lightning dazzled all
their eyes. Meyers was not caught by
the falling debris, and atter the first
shock of the catastrophe devoted biw-
self to at, iiipting to hold the head
of Quaid it. of reach of the waves
that had ween churned into billows
by the wind. Sweeney, though un-
hurt, was separated by the wreckage
from Quaid. He set to work as
soon as he could make his way to
the timber that held Quaid fast, in
attempting to shift it. Quaid talked
to him cheerfully as be worked.
But the waves were washing over
the face of Quaid with undeviating
regularity, cutting short his breathing
spell,, and gradually filling his lunge
with water. Quaid realized that
position was serious, according I ,r
Sweeney, and that he was in danger
of death, but he drifted easily from
conscious life into insensibility, while
his companions worked with desperate
strength and haste to free him.
They tore at the timbers until they
hroke their finger nails to the quick.
They tugged and hauled and pulled
until black spots danced before their
eyes and their arum hung at their
sides. Everything that human
strength and will could do the sur-
vivors did to rescue Quaid, according
to Mr. Sweeney.
But it wax ell 'metes.. When the
timber had been shifted, to their
hands and eyes sod ears Quaid ap-
peared lifeless. And when the doctor
arrived and told them they might

that could add bitterns to their
grief.
