We want industries other towns of less iinportance are clamouring for such and are getting them, then why why Trot Exeter? All it requires is the push and energy.

Pr 4' NOTES 4ND COMMENTS Women have taken to barbering in Toronto. In full view rt the passing thousands a couple of them shave and ant hair in the •largest barber shop on Yoneo street. Some years ago a woman opened a barber shop on Vic- toria street and for a while did a very, good business. Her customers failed to stay after the novelty had worn MI so men took her place. Thefemales in the Yonge street barber shop seem to have The call; when half a dozen white -coat- ed men are sitting waiting for cus- tomers,the fair ones seem to be always busy. Petitions are being circulated for signatures in the aaricultnral districts for Ontario asking for such legislation at, the next session of Parliament as will make railway companies liable for all damages done to stock getting on a railway line through the fa,ilure of ,the company to erect and maintain -eattle guards and fences. The peti- • Mon ers allege that at, na an y points where eattle guards have been erected they Iiave been fined up or allowed to fall Into disrepair, so as to be entirely use - ss as a means of keeping stock off •the railway tracks. Thousands of aeattle, it is declared, have been killed I» consequence of their being able to atray from the highway on to the rail- way tracks. There is, probably, not onemunicipal eouncillor in a hundred who is aware the liquor, license act of Ontario con- tains such a clause as the following. Et was this clause that occasioned the metiremmatand disqualification of May- or Morris, of Ottawa. a few days ago. The clause is as follows:- "If a mem- ber of any municipal council is con- 7icted of having knowingly committe- • ed any offence under. this act (Liquor License Act) he shall,' in addition to any other penalty in which he might be liable under this act, thereby for - ;Zeit and vacate his seat, and shall be indeligible to be elected or sit or vote in any municipal council for two years there -after; and if any person after the forfeiture aforesaid, sits or votes RI any municipal council he shall incur a penalty of $40 for every day he sits and votes." * A Galt beet sugar man tells a good abory on himself. One night a few weeks ago he set out for a place about 10 miles from Galt to address a meeting as directed by the Galt board of trade. He noticed the school all lit up, and, eoncluding that that was the place of meetingtied up his horse and went in - aide. The audience was just gathering, and our Galt man was rather surprised to note preponderance in numbers of the fair sex. However, he was Very pleased to see thern Out.

This act was passed in the, Manitoba Legislature on July 4, 1000, and in February, 1901, was declared uconsti- tutional tn y the Court of King's Bench of Manitoba. The act was known as the liquor prohibition act, and in the preamble it set out that "It is expedi- ent to suppress the liquor traffic in Manitoba • by prohibiting Provincial transactions in liquor." T1ie various sections which the court held the •Legislature had no power to -enact went to the extent of prohibiting "all use in Manitoba of sPirituous,ferment- ed, malt and ails -intoxicating liquors as beverages orsotherwise that] for sacra- mental, medicinal, mechanical or scientific purposes." They included a number of prohibitions an d restrictions affecting the importatiomexportation, man ufae t ure, keeping-, sale, purchase and use of such liquors. 4.•-• * Mr. Chas.M.Hays is rettirnine- to the management Of the Grand Tamil:Rail- way:.

The Past Season Showsa Decided . • Palling Off. Montreal, Nov. 26. -The season of navigation, which closed yes- terday, has not been satigfac- tory. In reviewing the business done, Shipping men express the keenest diss appointment. They had hoped that the stagnation that characterized the earlier part of the season would be neutralized by a big rush of business towards the end. The rush, however, did not materialize. Both the corn and apple crops, which were depended up- on, were small, and the season is so short that the port Cannot' benefit by the Manitoba 'wheat' crop; which finds its outlet for the most ,part through the United States. In discussing the causes to which ,may be attributed the decrease in the season's nusiness, both Shipping and railway men agree that the chief cause is the high rate of in- surance charged upon both hulls ancl freights to the St. Lawrence. There was an increased tonnage of the regu- lar lines, and a very great falling off in the number of ,tramp -vessels maks ing the port, the consequence being that the transatlantic tonnage of , the port fell off 50,000 tons' as compared with 1900. The customs receipts, how- ever, show an increase of $350,056 over last year. The shipments of cattle show a decrease of 13,307 head, as COM - Pared with last year, but so far as Canada is concerned this decrease is more than accounted for by 15,000 American. and Canadian cattle, chiefly Canadian, shipped via American ports, and 3,170 head shipped from Quebec. Although the sheep trade has been more active than a year ago, and the shipments show an increase of almost 20,000 head, as compared with last season's figures, yet exporters state that it has been anything but a profitable one, owing to the low, prices realized.
