ADVOCATE of the 19th lose., an ar,teIe headed " An Injustice." Now, MrEd- itor, 1 do not want to take up much space in your valuable paper, but I can- not refrain from saying something in behalf of the township, as I am a mem- her of the council of e Web :lir Quinton has so much to say. Now, gentlemen, I have been a member of the Council for one year and the council during that time has done no injustice to the Messzs. Quinton Bros., as stated by the writer. You would' think from the fere part of Mr. Quitiaou's letter that they bad received very lintleassistauce from this township, but 1 do nat think there is a mac in the township that has received as much as Messrs Quin- ton :Bros. The council opened and built tba road for them around their land, and we might say drained it for them. Mr. Quinton was warned out to do itis statute labor but he refuses to do so. The pathmeeter returned his work un- done. Mr. Quinton says he has done it, but does not say when he did it. Whether it was done when he liked or not we do not know, When a path - roaster returns wort; not done it has to be collected the fat; ,wing year This is nat the first time Messrs. Quinton Bros,' work has twee returned undone,. for he acknowledges it hues -If. It seems as if it occurred several liu.,ee. He did hie statute labor for a t,urneer of years in the beat in which be lives and still bis statute labor was returned undone. If every moo in the township were to tell the pethreastsr when be was warned out that he a uld not do hie statute labor but do it when and where he lilted, I wonder how it would work; or if we were to do away with. pathmasters and let the people do it when and where they liked, as this seems to be the way with Messrs. Quin- ton Bros. If Mr Quinton would be like a man, go and do his statute labor wben and where pathmasters warned him as other people in the towuahip have to do, it would save him and the council a great deal of unnecessary trouble. They have never come to the council during my term of office, ask- ing to do their statute labor on the swamp road, or asking assistance from this council for that road. I think they should do their stature labor on the narrow road, as they know themselves that they do a lot of heavy teaming on it, and not take the law in thein own hands, but Como to the council with. their grievance and they and every person in the township will gat their rights, be he Irish, Scotch, English, Grit or Torf, and we will use them all the same. I would feel ashamed to have the township resort to such means as t0 collect 'My taxi : by an auction sale. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for the above space, I am, yours truly, Tiios.

DEAR SIR,—Being a subscriber to your paper and as you seldom have contributions from Manitoba, 'thought I would write. We are having a re- markably fine winter, very similar to that of 1898; of course we have a cold snap once in a while. A week or 80 ago the thermometer registered be- tween 42 to 54 below zero, but it is nice and mild again now, and in fact it rained this morning. We have not had a great deal of snow and thus far have had no old time blizzards, I read a letter yesterday from one of my neighbor's brothers, who went to Klon- dike last summer and is now at Daw son City He reports the weather ex tremely cold, it beiug 62 below zero. He says there is lots of work and plenty "dust" but expenses are high. Flour $1 a pound, hay $600 a ton and every- thing else accordingly, while horses sell from $600 to $700 a piece. He al- so adds that it is no place for a man to go who has any one depending on him as they have so many risks to run, and ends by saying it is no picnic getting there. Wolves in the West are very numerous this year, their hideous cries can bi'beard in all directions nearly every night. Prairie chicken seem to be plentiful and can he seen almost any time on the stubble fields and straw piles, Of course a large num ber of these birds are destroyed every year by the wolves and the extreme cold weather. Mr. A Hoskin was here the other day for the purpose of re- moving his deceased brother- John's body to Exeter for interment. The de- ceased was well known in this com. munity and his sudden death caused a feeling of sadness and regret among all, Hoping I have not trespassed toe, much on your space I remain yours respectfully, MRS.
