THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. 1915 EDITORIAL NOTES The total amount paid to contractors is set out as $1,664,242.15. Engineer Woodman estimated the total value of the work done to August 4, 1915, as $812,535, and the value of the material on the ground at $150,613. The total value, therefore, is estimated at $963,- 149, and the total amount paid in excess is estimated by the commissioners at $701,093.50. "Add to this", says the report, "the 15 per cent wt ih ought to have been held back under the terms of the contract ($121,870.25), and the total over -payment is estimated at $822,963." From all the facts and cir- cumstances, we drew what appears to us the irrestible inference that when Thomas Kelly went to the Parliament buildings on July 2nd he had a tender for $3,200,000 and a marked check for $160,- 000 with him, that he there had an interview with Sir Rodmond Roblin, who showed him the Lyall tender or conveyed to him the amount of the ten- der, when Sir Rodmond extended the time for receiving tenders one day to enable Kelly to prepare a new tender and get the required marked check to accompany it."—Extracts from Mat - hers commission report The Ideal Route to and from TORONTO dining Canadian National Exhibition August 28 to Sept. 13. 1915 Reduced Fares to Toronto from all stations. in Ontario, also .from Niagara Falls, Bnffala, N.Y., and Detroit,Mich.

Boyle, ofBelgrave, ae ompanied by another gentleman, was driving towards Wingham on Tutslay morning, his horse became frightened while passing an auto about t17o miles from town, and bolted, up- setting the* rig and throwing the occupants into the ditch. Fortunately, however, the occupants escaped serious injuries, other than a severe shaking up. New Route to West. The novelty of making your . next trip to Western Canada via a new route, giving you the opportunity of traversing new territory, providing new scenery, and making the trip by a new train should be interesting, This route is via Toronto and North Bay by the Grand Trunk Railway Sys- tem. Cobalt and Cochrane, through the famous Temagami Forest Pre- serve by Tamiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway, thence the Trans- continental Line to Winnipeg, where connection is made with Grand Trunk Pacific trains for all points in western Canada and the Pacific coast.

Miller's restaur- ant and banquetted Mr. M. Telfer and extended congratulations on the eve of his marriage. After a sumptuous re- past, Mr. R. Brooks, in a very ap- propriate address, presented Mr. Telfer, on behalf of the Wingham Baseball Team, with the Spalding Trophy of 1914. After a number of speeches had been made, Mr. J. J. Davis read the following address and Mr. Geo. Jacques presented Mr. Telfer with a beautiful upholstered rocker:— To. Mr. M. Telfer. Dear Tel. We are assembled to -night to wish you and yours, a world of happiness in the days to come. In the past your presence or even the mention of your name has al- ways inspired us with thoughts of the true, clean and enduring sports- man. Even in the moments of doubtfulness and despair when the sdore was heavily against us, we have cheered and watched our wing man strain every muscle, never re- lenting until the score was with us again. And as is rarely the case not only in the winter have we watched the same man to the front but also in the summer months with asupply of curves at his dispos- al, which many a man at bat has failed entirely to see. We sincerely hope that the coming change in your affairs will not keep you out of the games where we de- pend on you for so much. How well we all know, that the all around athlete, who has never let vice make his abilities uncer- tain, becomes the best man in every phase of life. Always ready to cope with, and conguor, every obstacle; fighting hardest when the odds are against him. Who amongst us if not this class of men are the best and most cap- able guardians of women. Let us offer our heartiest eon- gratulations to the brine to be who is so fortunate in making such a wise choice. Gentlemen — To the Bride-to-be. May she be as devoted to her husband as we are to our athlete. Your Many Wingham Friends. As a poor token of our esteem will you accept this present. Mr. Telfer made a very appropriate reply, thanking the assembly for their kind wishes. The singing of "IIe's a Jolly Good Fellow," brought the ban- quet to a close admiclst good wisher for the guest and bride -to -he. Ten young men employed in the G. T. R. shops at London, have offered to man, the machine gun the employees are giving. About six hundred men have volun- teered for the Hamilton machine gun battalion, and the depot battalion is now nearly a thousand strong.

Attention is called to the announce- ment in another column of Ontario Government Bonds yielding 5 per cent and City of Toronto Bonds yielding 5.05 per cent. These issues are so well known to the investing world that com- ment as to their value is hardly necessary. When. however, it is stated that these Bondq can now be obtained at prices yielding a higher rate of interest -income than has been obtaining for 30 years past, a yield 1 per cent more than in normal times and 2 per cent better than bank interest, the wisdom of taking advantage of this opportunity for safe and profitable in- vestment will be apparent. BLUEVALE. School re -opened this week. Mr. •Les- lie S. Winch of Paisley is the new teacher and selected from over thirty applicants at a salary of $675.00. The regular monthly meeting of the Women's Institute will be held at the home of Mrs. Robt. Black on Thursday, September 9 at 2.30 o'clock. The -topics for this meeting are "Responsibity as Women" taken by Mrs. George. Mc- Donald, and "Keep on the Sunny Side' taken by Mrs. Robt. Black. All mem- bers are invited. The Bluevale girls have been invited to play a game of baseball with the Jamestown girls at the Red Cross cele- bration in Brussels on Labor day. The two teams are very evenly matched, at their last game in Bluevale the score being three -two in favor of the home team and another contest between them will be worth going to see, Now that the school has re -opened, attention is drawn to the books in the school library which are free to the public. Already the library has been enjoyed by a considerable number and the pleasure and benefits to be derived from it can now be greatly extended. The Women's Institute are collecting supplies of jam and jelly for the sol- diers. Nearly every family during the preserving season could set aside a jar or two of fruit for this good purpose and the Institute will attend to the packing and shipping. Fruit should be left with Mrs, Tate. The Young Men's Bible Class of the Methodist Church are to be congratu- lated on the excellence of their patriotic concert wh:ch was held last Friday eve- ning and addedthirty dollars to the Red Cross Fund. The church was attrac- tively decorated with flags, pennants Ind streamers, a banner above the stage bearing the inscription, "Help the Soldiers." The ushers, Messrs. Sinner -non and Stamper wore the Red Cross on their sleeves., Rev. D. D. Thompson was, chairman and gave a talk on "The Maple Leaf and its Significance as our National En blem." Rev. D. Wren, of Brussels, gave a vigorous address on "Russia." This was the fourth address Mr. Wren had given for patriotic purposes in one week. Rev, Crayford Tate also spoke and there was an eiteellent musical pro* gram. One of the tnost popular fea- tures of the evening were the solos by LIVE POULTRY WANTED E will load a car of live poultry at Lucknow station, Wednesday, Se tember 8th, and at Wingham G. T.
