NQRTIi PERIM ELECHON
11'. Wellington Hay, of Listowel,
Liberal, was elected on Monday by 627
over John A, Makin'', Conservative, in
the North Perth bye election, In the
country districts large numbers of
farmers failed to turn out to east their
votes,
In Stratford, where James Torrance
had a wajority of 038 in 1014, Mr, He,
'was accorded a wajoeity of 04, a turf-
over of 782 votes, Listowel gave Hey
a majority of 54 and in Milverton he
secured 39 majority,

THE PROBLEM SOLVED
The following editorial clipped from
the Palmerston Spectator (Lib.) of last
week very well defines the reason for
the Liberal victory in North Perth on
Monday. -
There is bound to be some fight in
North Perth, The recent temper-
ance legislation enacted by the
Hearst Government will no doubt
be a silent but potent factor in the
election. It remains to be seen.
whether theLiberal temperance vote
will stand by the Hearst Govern-
ment, and we all have our doubts,.,,,
for polities is politics. Mr. Hay,
who is widely known among the
farmers is a clean cut business man
of versatile character and he will
know bow to pose and how win over
discordant elements in the Tory
Party. If Mr. Hay cannot win no
other Liberel need attempt it for he
knows how to stage a fight and how
to present issues, All eyes are now
watching North Perth,
DUST
I declar ter goodness but ther dust
on sum of they Wingham roads is sum -
thing orful, What ther residents be
thinking of ter hev ther dust covering
up everything on thor verandahs and

of ther dust covering everything 1
kant fer then life of me onderstand.
It's a deep "mystery," as they women
said ter her husband when he tried ter
explain where be had been ontil 2
o'clock in ther morning. Sumtimes as
I walks erlong a rig passes and just
smothers me in dust. Thereautos ie a
blamed nuisance for this sort of thing
—they shud hev to take ther dust with
tleem. Yet day after day then 'peepul
puts up with ther annoyance, and ther
lose caused by dust, rather than pay
for they ''trete being watered or oiled.
It's curious how mutch discomfort sum
peepul would put up with rather than
remedy it, and they wunder is that
folksea as lives amongst 'and eats duet
day after day ever manage to live long.
Ef yer asks me, I begs ter say then
orltogether too much dust on ther
stretee, and not ernuff in then bank
accounts.

ANSWER OF CONFERENCE
At the Montreal Methodist Confer-
ence a few day s ago, it Was moved by
Rev. A. IL Runnels, seconded by Rev,
B. W. Tborburn and unanimously
carried: --
That the members of this confer-
ence have watched with sympath-
etic interest the untiring and success-
ful achievements of Mayor -General,
the Hon. Sir Sam Hugbes, Minister
of Militia of Canada, We mark wirb
profound satisfaction and gratitude
the real interest taken in the welfare
of our soldiers and would record our
deep satisfaction for the same. This
conference looks with pride upon the
leen who have been chosen from
Canadian Methodism to represent us
in the great struggle. DURING THE
PAST TWENTY TWO MONTHS THE
MINISTER OF MILITIA IIAS BEEN BI:A'E-
ING INCALCULABLE BURDENS OP LAB-
OUR AND RESPONSIBILITY AND WE
BELIEVE THAT PEW' MEN TII1S
DOMINION COULD IPAVE ACCOMPLISH-
ED BO GREAT A TASK IN SO SHORT A
TIME. Be it therefore resolved that
we express our appreciation of the
work of the Minister of, Militia, and
that WE TENDER HIM OUR WAIZdI-
EST SYMPATHY AND PRAYERS IN
THIS UNDEItTAKING. AND WE URGE
OUR PEOP%ill TO RENDER HIM EVERY
I'OSSiBLE ASSISTANCE IN THIS CRIT-
ICAL IIOUit."
Such is the answer of the churches
to the campaign of calumny and slan-
der carried on against General Hughes
by public and private character like
C. B. Carvell and a few Liberal Pape: s
bit to do their b t for the cause of
their party. Oce of the wild state -
matte which is reported to have been
made by F. W. Hay who was recently
eieoted in North Perth was to the
effect that Sir Sam Hughes should be
shot. If a poor man of German birth
should make each a statement he
would be as good as taking his life in
his own hands,

If this one chief necessity is met,
though It is not fair to use the word
desert or even an arid region, for Al-
berta is neither arid or desert. But
nature may tlfton be assisted in her
great task of prodttetlon, and this is
what the irrigation systems of the
Canadian West aro doing.
In Alberta the Canadian Pacific
Railway is developing the largest in-
dividual irrigation project on the Am-
erican continent, with an area larger
than the total irrigated area in either
Colorado or California. Portions of
a tract of three trillion acres will
be includttl in this prosperous and
fertile so-called "dry bolt" region.
The western section is already com-
pleted, including sixteen hundred
reline of canals and ditches. The
eastern section is in process of de-
velopment whore twenty-five hundred
miles of canals and ditches Will be
required for the service.
