while at Chicago the top price was $7

—The results of Canada's fifth
census should soon be known. The
previous four resulted thus ;-
1871
s 3 475,701
1881 4,321.310
1891 .... , .............. —4,833,230
1901 5 371,315
It is said by some that the population
is likely now to reach the eight
million mark.
—Ships for the Canadian navy are
to be built in Canada, we are told.
Canadians will all join in the hope
that they will not tunable to pieces
• like the Laurier tower, nor fall down
into a hopeless wreck, as did the
taltebec bridge, both of which were
built under the Government super-
vision.
—One of the greatest calatnities in
the history of Ontario is the awful
fire that has devastated several town-
ships in New Ontario, destroyed the
town of Cochrane, and a number of
mining camps. Greater than the
immense toss of property is the ap-
palling loss of human life, not only
in the centres destroyed, but in the
woods where scores of prospectors
were at wok, The lure of the gold
has again proved the fate of many.
The number of lives lost has reached
nearly one hundred, See page 7 for
full report.
--Now that the United States bat-
tleship the Maine has been raised, It is
clearly proven that the Spaniards did
not destroy the vessel, but that she
was rent to pieces by an exploston
from her own magazines. Yet the
supposition that Spain did it, led to
'the Spanish war, and secured Cuba
for the United States. Nations as
well as individuals suffer from injus-
tice founded on mere supposition.
The truth now known in this case
shonld eas a standing warning to the
'United States (and other natione) not
to rush into war for imaginary melees,
or at the dictation of yellow journals
and unprincipled men who hope to
erofit by the blood of others, "Re-
member the Maine" should now have
a very different meaning from what
it had during the war.
—Again there are rumors of a
Dominion election not far off, and the
rumors have been strengthened by
statements in Liberal papers, some
placing the date as early as Septem-
ber. The Toronto Globe thinks it is
not possible to be ready before
October. It was generally conceded
that no election would be held until
after the redistribution following the
recent census, but at present the trend
of opinion is in the direction of an
early appeal on the ridings as tow
constituted, One thing can be relied
on — that is, if an election before
redistribution will best suit the pros-
pects of the party in power, then it
will he held. The question of justice
to the inereased population will have
less to do with fixing the date of the
election, than the question as to how
it will affect the Government. If an
election before redistribution is more
favorable for the Liberals, it will be
held; if the ebances are likely to be
better e, year from now, the election
will be delayed.
Card Of Thanks. "

the citizens of Winghann for their
many acts of kindnees manitested to-
wards us during our receet bereave.

Prom Yellowgrass.
Mr. John Phillips, formerly of this
vicinity, now of Yellowgrass, Sask.,
in renewing for two years, says :—
"Trope are first-class in this part of
Saskatchewan, and and is selling
readily at $50 an acre seven and eight
piles from town, and nearer town $05
has been offered, and in one case, $85
was offered and refused." This will
give some idea of the increase of land
values in the great West.
—It is claimed that the receot cen-
Bus will show Canada's population to
be eight millions, but the figures are
not likely to be known before October.
The representation of the West is
sure to be increased, and by the ar-
rangement of the constituencies by
the party in power, the Liberals Steed
to gain in Sokatchewan and Alberta.
But Witinipeg, Toronto, Montreal and
British Columbia will have intreased
representation, that will incline to the
Conservative side. Li the reduttion
of seats in the maritime proviecee, the
Goverrtnimet may lose a few Beate,
while in Ontario is likely to lose Con-
sertrative seats (especially if a gory -
mender is effected) so that thete are
ebances in either ease. One shretvd
political observer is authority for the
statement that it will not melte et dlr.
ference of five Beats to either party,
Thus, if one side can shift the respon-
sibility on anothet, there won't be
much bother about this question or at
least not sufficient importance Wade
ed to it to prevent an election. Par-
liament te-assernbled on Tuesday last,

A Bad Fall.
On Thursday last, Mr. Richard
Slimes of 'town met with an accident
that will lay hire aside for some time.
He went out to the farm, as he often
does in the busy time, and was as-
sisting his son with the haying.
Standing on a load of hay, he was
pulling the rope of the hay -fork, when
he lost his balance and fell backwerd
to the barn floor. Fortunately no
bones were broken, but Mr. James
was badly shaken, and has since
been confined to his bed, and has
suffered considerable internal pain.
We hope, however, no permanent
injury will result,
Cut By Mower.
An accident happened on Feiday
last to Wilfrid, son of Andrew Mc.
Kague, of Culross. The young man
was driving the mower in a rough
corner of a hay -field, when he found
a piece of a log in front of the knives.
With the assistance of the hired man,
he was about carrying the log away,
when the horses took fright, and as
he was standing in front of the knives,
he was caught as the horses tnrned to
run. His legs were badly mangled
by the knives, but he was brought to
Wingham hospital and is doing nicely.
The horses ran some distance and
damaged the mower.
The Commissioners.
By the absence of Mr. VanNorman,
the Commission was left at the dis-
advantage of only two members being
available, and one of these (the Mayor)
is frequently - absent from town on
business conuected with his Colleges.
This made the election of another
Commissioner a necessity, and many
were much pleased, when Mr. Young
consented to act and was elected.
Imagine their disappointment, when
they learned that next morning after
his election, Mr. Young also left for
the West, perhaps to be absent in-
definitely. Just at the time when a
full Board is necessary, it is again
reduced to two. We do not think
Mr. Young should have accepted the
position knowing that he was going
to be absent, when work of impor
tance is to be undertaken. lie should
make .a good Commissioner, and we
hope will not be long absent, when
the united wisdom, judgment and
effort of the Commissioners are re-
quired on the work to be accomp-
lished.

ager for the last four years of the
flespeler Furniture Company, has
arcptired an interest in the Listowel
rurntture Company, and on Monday

end of that factory."
Death From A Fall.
The death occurred on Sunday of
Sohn McKnight, a well-known and
highly -respected resident of Howielt.
The deceased sustained a severe fall
from a load of bay on 'Friday evening
last, which injured his spine and hurt
his head internally, Although he re-
mained quite conscious, the &adore,
owing to the serious nature of his in-
juries, were unable to do anything
but alleviate hie pain.

Think It Over.
Most porters make up berths so that
one's head is toward the engine. "Ex-
perience has taught me," says a
traveller, "that, in case of a collison
or even a common quick stop, this
may xnear, a bruised head or a wrench-
ed neck. So I always ask to have my
berth made up with my feet toward
the engine. In a recent collision I
was the only person in a crowded car
who escaped more or less serious
injury, and I believe that I owe this
escape to my position, as when I was
thrown with the force of the impact, I
alighted as it were, on my feet, while
other passengers were thrown head-
foremost,"

Coronation Procession.
When the Coronation procession

through the streets of London and
holding the bretithless attention of the
hundreds of thousands gathered from
all parte of the world to witness its
historical grandeur, a little group of
Canada's leading citizens occupied one
of the best stands. They were un-
animously of the opinion that it Was
the most striking spectacle they had
ever seen. When they were inform-
ed that it would be reproduced in
every detail at the Canadian National
Exhibition their entiessiasm was
boundless. It touched their national
pride that Canada possessed an in-
stitution of such magnitude that it
could undertake the reproduction of
the greatest procession ef the
twentieth century and of such repu-
tation that the 'undertaking of it
would mean its fulfilment to the
last letter,

In Midst Of The Fire.
Mr.'Jos. Bradwin has a letter from
his son Edwin, who is Secretary of the
Reading Camp Association for New
Ontario, with headquarters at Coch-
rane, and who for the second time lost
all his outfit in the great fire. At time
of writing, Ed. bad come down the
line as far as North Bay, for a day's
rest, after the sad scenes of the fire
days. Conditions are bad, he says,
"terribly sad," but from what he could
see the death lose will not be as large
as at first feared, and probably will
not exceed 80, Ed, was in the very
heart of the devastation at Porcupine
and helped to carry on it stretcher for
two miles, Mts. Meek, over burned
bush and fallen trees, Fortunately,
though he rendered all the assistance
he could to the sufferers, Ed, came
off without any injury to himself.
He says—"When there is danger, I
want to be in the front rank to help
thepoor sufferers." He came in from
Hollinger, over six miles of fire -swept
area to South Porcupine, but when
he arrived, the town was swept as
bare as a floor, but still hot with burn-
ing debris. Cochrane was swept
again completely, over an area half
the size of Wingharn. Ed, had taken
a grip and pocksack to Porcupine, and
left them with a- friend, who buried
them with his own, when he saw the
fire coming. But the heat WaS so
intense, it dried the mnskeg, and
everything went to ashes, and he was
left without anything except the
clothes he had on. But as he says—
"Who will cotieplain, when he sees the
suffering and wretchedness of so
many. I em thankful for escape and
good health."
The New Evaporator.
The Advance reporter had the op-
portunity on Monday, of looking
through the new Evaporator of
Brown & Wilford, now ready for the
fell trade. The building is of cement,
10x71, substantially built, and inside
is fitted up with the most up-to-date
machinery available for the purpose.
The motive power is a five horse pow-
er gasoline engine set on solid cement
floor, running vsithout a jar. Running
lengthwise throughout the work -room
is what might be termed a work -table,
but it is more than that. Above it is
the title shaft frotn which the power is
conveyed to six parers. These parers
are a wonderful invention; they not
only pare the apples, but core there at
the same time, while one ingenious
contrivance ejects the core and an-
other the apple which rolls On a slant
table to the trimmer, while the waste
falls through an aperture on the table
on to an endless belt which carries
it to the wade loft, where it is dried
for shipment to France. The apples
rolled to the other side of the table,
are trimmed of any skin untouched
by the peeling reathine. By another
belt, they are carried to the other end
of the work -room where an elevator
carsies them upstairs to the dicer,
attar they 'tram passed though the
bleaeber. When &Heeds they are car-
ried to the dry -kiln, unilertieath which
two oke fureaces will furnish the
heat necessary, Altogether four
furnates will be in use, There seems
to be abundattt storage capacity both
for the green apple and dried produtt.
Each of the revolving paters is eats.
able of peeling and coring 75 bushels
per day, making tt total tapacity of
450 buthele. The plant were drawn,
the building erected, attd the Machin-
ery placed in position by Mr. Brown
himself, after an extended trip to
some ot the United. States cities and
large evaporating plente. The build-
ing is in readieeea for the fell trade,
and hes bon eteefed arta equipped at
it large outlay. The AdVatlee hopes
that the proptietor* may have ecrtn-
tnettattftte returns for their enterprisue
and expenditure,
Death Of T, A. Mills.
Few men were better known in thie
section of Huron county than Thos,
A. Milts, "who passed away on My
13th, in hie 08th year, after a protract-
ed illness. Mr, Mills was born in the
township of Beckwith, in tlse county
of Lanark, and spent his early years
in that eection of Coterie. In 1802, he
accepted a sltudion as clerk in a store
in Elora, and thus began a mercantile
life. After eight years' service as
clerk, he engaged in businese for him-
self. The opening op and develop-
ment of Enron county attracted the
young merchant, and in 1873, he locat-
ed in Wingham, where hie business
faculties brought him succese and a
prosperous business. The business he
built up is probably the oldest mer-
cantile establishment in town, having
been in existence for 38 years, and is
stilt popular with the purchasing pub-
lic. Por some time previous to his
death, it was evident that his energies
were failing and he went to Buffalo
four months ago for treatment. He
died on Thursday last, and the re-
mains were brought to Wingham,
and on Saturday, taken to Elora
for interment. Mr, Mills was a
strong Liberal and ever active in the
interests of his party. In religious
matters, he adhered to the Anglican
Church, and the Mills' Memorial Hall
is evidence of his liberality to the
parish. Ele leaves two brothers. John
of Caro, Mich„ and Wm. of Ta,was,
Mich,; also two sisters, Mrs. Stanley
of Perth, and Mrs. James of Cleve-
land. Among those from a distance
at the funeral were his brothers from
Michigan, Miss Etta Mills, Tawas,
Mich„ Miss Stanley of Perth, Mrs.
Mills and Mr. and Mrs. Van Every of
Essex, Wm. Mille of Woodslee, and
Mrs. Richardson of Detroit.

work.

Mayor Geo. Spotton is always ready
to shake hands with his friends, and
one day last week engaged in a hand-
shaking round at the 0, T. R. station,
when lo I—horrible catastrophe, there
was a crash; a bottle of booze fell to
the platform, bottle broken, and the
liquid invigorator soon vanished. Of
course everybody denied ownership,
and we are tolerably sure' the thing
did not fall from the Mayor's pocket,
and yet some critic will say that if he
had not commenced the haridshalse,
the etitnulator would surely have
eased a dry spot not far off. Mayors
(like editors) get blamed when they
do not deserve it.
W. A. Campbell, Walt. McKibben,
John Ritchie and last (but not least)
Geo. Spotton are in St. Catharines
this week attending the Masonic
Grand Lodge, Incidentally, R. S.
McGee says that they make a bad
combination; we think not. For in-
stance, if one of the quartette should
take ill, depend on it, McKibbon will
recomnaend the Rexall remedies. If
any of them should spoil their good
suits, Campbell will hint that he
knows it good place to secure a fresh
outfit. If any of thetn will rush into
danger, the very presence of Ritchie
will suggest fire insurance. If gloom
should settle upon the group, the
Mayor by repeating some of his side-
splitting jokes, can make the woods
around the city reverberate with peals
of laughter. It is quite a com-
bination.
