Mr, John Watson of the fourth con-
cession, received the sad intelligence
from ,his brother Robert of Battle
Ground, Wash., U. S., of the death of
hie youngest son. The following is a
clipping from a Washington paper.
Battle Ground, Wash., Feb, 17, Paul
Raleigh Watson„ youngest son of
Mr, and Mrs. Robert Watson was
drowned in the Lewis river, when ac-
companied by two friends, Ivan Wool -
ledge and Del Goodnight he tried Iabt
week to cross the Lewis river in a boat
The boys were going coon -hunting.
While crossing the river which was at
a high stage, the boat careened to one
side4n the swift current, and the boys
moved to the upper side of the boat to
keep it from capsizing. This sudden
movement caused the boat to turn
over, M,'. Watson grasped the guns
in an effort to save them, and the add-
ed weight caused him to sink in the
raging current in sight of his friends,
who were powerless to aid him. The
body was found Wednesday near
Cherry Grove, three quarters of a mile
below where he went down. Mr.
Watson is survived by his father,
mother, a sister Mee. James Loomis,
and three brothers, George, Robett
and Charles. He was bora in Clark
County, Wash, March 18, 1801, and
graduated from the Oregon Agricul•
turas College in 1012 in Civil Engineer-
ing. Mr. Watson was a fine type of
young manhood, both mentally and
phyeically and will be muob missed by
a wide circle of friends, He :was also
a Li, utenant in his Cadet company.
The .funeral eervice was held at the
Brush Prairie Baptist church.

held in Hamilton last week, The new,
ly elected Grand nlliears are:—
Grand Master—H, 0, Hocken of T.

.Deputy Gaited Master-- J, I. .Hare,
M. P. P. of Orillie.

Grand Lecturer—F. Ferguson.
Grand Direotor of Ceremontes—Rob-
ert Martin,
Grand Auditors—W. H. Taylor of
Aurora and A, A. Gray, County Mast
er of Toronto.
Stratford was selected for the next
session of the Grand Lodge.
They unanimously passed a memor-
ial to be forward to the Dominion
Government, asking for the immedi-
ate adoption of some modified form of
conscription. The resolution expressed
the view that the time had come when
it would be advisable for the Federal
Government to adopt some means of
taking a census of all available young
men in the Dominion and of gettiug
them into the army.
A peculiar phase of the call for con-
scription is the fact that the resolu-
tion was entirely sponsored by min-
isters. It was brought in by Rev. Mr.
Nelson of this city, and was seconded
by Rev. Mr. Hibbert of Wingham.
A further resolution was passed to
the effect thfet steps be taken to en-
courage the training of all boys in
public, separate and high schools in
the province. The opinion was unani-
mously adopted that alt Orange build
inge be turned over to the recruiting
agencies whenever required.

Looks very much like the Kaiser's, number according to thegood book,
For instance. in the 1$.h chapter of Rrvelatigne and the last Verse, it
states as follows:--
•
' Let him that bath understanding count the pum-
bee of the beast for it hi the umeher of a man. And ,
bis number is six hundred and three score and six,"
Now there are six letters in the Kaiser's name and seeing that the
figure six is predominate, we would be justified in using. the number
six in figuring up the number of the Kaiser.
For instance, K is the eleventh letter in the alphehet, therefore
we will count eleven and six as follows: 110-A being the first letter
would he 10-I is the ninth, 05-S is the 19.h, 196 is is the 5+•h. 50 and R is
the 18th, 180 totals as the above quotation sates, namely, 063. Figure
it up,
