—The first division in Parliament
after reassembling on Tuesday of last
week, remelted in a majority of 16
for the Government, the smallest in
its ftmtory.

--Iteciprocity passed the United
States Senate on Saturday by a vote
of 53 to 27, The measure does not
become effective until the Dominion
Parliament has ratified it, which at
present it does not appear disposed
to do. -
—The Guelph herald warns against
over -speculation in city property, and
adds—Out in Vancouver the "boom
bas bust," and it is said that there are
14,000 workmen walking the Streets
looking for work. Vancouver has
been having a mushroom growth be-
yond all safe progress, and a heavy
re -action is sure to follow. Other
.4 cities are declared likely to follow,
and Toronto will be lucky if it is not
one of these.
Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier :— Dear
Sir—In 1898, you are credited with
, _ 'having said fee
"Canada once desired Reciproci-
ty, but now thank God, those days
are over."
If that was. true (and no doubt it was)
is it not also tine now ? If those days
were over in 1898, why take us back
thirteen years ? Now that to a large
extent we have found other and bet.
ter markets, why risk these, in order
to gain what may after all only prove
to be an imaginary gain ; or if a gain
at all, dependent on the whims of
Washington politicians ?

—Is a Dominion election near at
hand ? Well, the Advance is not in
confidence of those who can bring on
ane ion butthe following is from
election, fo g
a Liberal daily paper, the Toronto
Star, and we leave our readers to form
their own conclusions :—
"Nothing surer"was the answer
of a prominent Liberal, who re-
turned from Ottawa on Saturday,
when asked if an election was im-
minent. "Of course you never
• can tell absolutely what is going
to happen till it actually takes
place, but it's a 999 to one shot,"
I never saw the Liberal party so
keen for a fight," he said.
—The successor of Dowie (Wilbur
Olen Votive) had abig collection on
July 20th. At a "consecration" meet-
ing, a barrel was the collection plate.
Votive kissed 286 babies ranging from
six months to four years, thus cons
secreting them to Zion, life perform-
ed his task in eighteen minutes, and
though his lips may have been tired,
the cash thrown into the barrel amply
repaid him for his toil, for when it
was -counted, the collection was found
to be twenty-seven thousand dollars,
contributed by a line of 3,319 persons,
who cast their offerings into the bar-
rel as they passed by it,

—'-The Pioneer," a leading paper of
St. Paul, 'Minnesota, is an ardent ad-
vocate of Reciprocity, believing it will
wonderfully benefit the United States.
But the Pioneer is free to admit that
if the United States will be benefitted,
it• will be at the expense of Canada.
That being the case, the wonder is,
that some in this province cannot see
the point, and prefer to picture to
themselves imaginary profits from the
market of ninety millions. Farmers
forget brat the pact will open our
home market to the ninety trillions,
and also to the twelve nations coin.'

THE TOWN COUNCIL
Wingham Town Council met in
special session on Monday evening to
consider petitions for sewers and
other business.
Sufficiently signed petitions were
presented, asking for ttie construction
of the following sewers :—On Shuter
street from Patrick to Alfred streets;
also on .Alfred street from Shuter to
Josephine. On motion of Elliott and
Bone, the petitions were referred to
the Sewer committee with instruc»
tions to proceed with the work, in
connection with a previously ordered
work on Centre street.
Coun. Bell moved, seconded by
Coun. Mitchell, that the Council take
initiative in constructing a sewer on
Edward street, between Patrick and
Alfred streets, This motion at once
raised the question of other streets
where residents wanted sewers, but
were prevented by not being able to
secure signatures sufficient. Then
Coen. Mitchell 'discovered he was not
in favor of the motion he had second»
ed and a general discussion followed,
the Mayor being generouely disposed,
so far as the rules of order were con-
cerned. Couns, Elliott, Bone and Bell
were in favor of taking the initiative
on other streets where sewer connec»
tion was desired ; the Reeve, Couns.
I1cKenzie and Mitchell were opposed.
Finally Coun. Elliott moved, seconded
by Coun. Bone—That the Council take
the initiative in constructing sewers
on the folfowing streets, the Clerk
to advertise the Council's intention,
and notify property -holders, viz.-
1—On Victoria, from John to Dia-
gonal street.
2—On Diagonal street, from corner
of Victoria and Diagonal to Frances.
3—On Frances, from Diagonal to
John.
4—On Shuter, from John to Dias
gonal.
5—On Catharine, from John to Pats
'rick.
6—On Edward street from Patrick
to Alfred. ,
After the vote was taken, the Yeas
and Nays were called for by the
Reeve, and the Mayor graciously
granted the request, with the follow-
ing result ;—
Yeas—Elliott, Bell, Hall, Bone ;
Nays—McDonald, McKenzie, Mitchell,
For a moment, it looked like atie'
vote, but to prevent that, the Mayor
voted with the Yeas, and the motion
was declared carried ; it being under-
stood, that the sewers duly petitioned
for be constructed first, and no work
.be undertaken late in the season.
An account was presented for
wages due Nightwatehman Gibson for
fourteen nights. On motion of Couns,
Hall and Bell, the account passed.
A. MeNevin addressed Council re
sidewalk on Carling Terrace ; Council
could take no action, and the work
will proceed.
The arrangement of the electric
light near the foundry was left in the
hands of the committee of F. & W.
to deal with as they saw fit.
(Joon. Mitchell had a number of
matters to discuss, chiefly pertaining
to the Street committee. Coun. Mc-
Kenzie also took a hand, and outlined
at length a scheme he had in mind,
tint which could not be adopted this
year even if desirable. Ooun. Elliott,
as Chairman of the committee defend-
ed
his action, and the temporary wind
storm raised by Coon. Mitchell abat-
ed, and there was a calm.
Nightwatehtnan Gibson having re-
signed, the Connell was informed brat
the former watchman, E. Lewis, was
willing to accept the position at $35.
Several members of the Council
thought the town would be fortunate
to secure his services, and a motion
by Comm. Elliott and McKibbon, that
he be offered the position, was passed•
Should he decline, the Clerk will
advertise.

Valuable Farm Changes fiends.
Mr. Wm. Isbistett of Morris has
decided to retire from the toil of farm,
life, and has disposed of;his farm at a
good figure. The farm comprises 200
scree, and has fine buildings, The
purchaser is John E. Swarts of Wing'
ham, and the price named was
$10,700 ; possession to be given in
November,
Work Proceeding.
For the past two weeks four men
have been busy renovating the
auditorium of Wingham Methodist
church, and it will be several weeks
yet before the work is completed,
Mr. Boyce has installed two large
Kelsey furnaces, and Mr. Schaefer
will brighten up the S. S. room and
paint the exterior woodwork of the
church. It is not expected that the
extensive work undertaken will be
completed before September 1st. In
the meantime the services are being
held in the Sunday School room. Mr,
Walehew of St, Thomas has the
contract for the decoration, and lee
will no doubt. do his work well; at
least he has that reputation, The
different committees that look after
the work report satisfactory pro -
geese.
church '�1ews�
Mr. W. T. Taylor occupied the
pulpit of St. Andrew's Church on
Sunday last, in the absence of the
pastor. Quite a number in the con-
gregation speak favorably of Mr.
Taylor's discourses. The Advance had
not the pleasure of hearing Mr. Tay-
lor, but this we may say, that any
young man who has the ministry in
view, in these days of critical cons
gregations, should have all the en-
couragement possible. Many in the
pew forget the help that comes from
an encouraging, appreciative word,
The Advance wishes Mr. Taylor
success.
Rev. Dr. Rutledge was absent from
town last Sunday, but the interest in
the services in the Methodist Church
as sustained.
Ia the morning,r
M.
John Keri occupied the pulpit, giving
a good practical discourse on "Chris-
tian service," basing his remarks on
Deuteronomy 10:12, The subject is
timely, for is it not a fact that too
many Church members expect to be
"ministered unto," instead of being
willing to "minister unto others."
Mr. Kerr said many good things along
the line of "true service." The even-
ing service was in charge of two of
the young laymen of the Church, W.
T. Hall and J. W. Ansley, the latter
delivering the sermon. As this was
Mr. Ansley's first effort, the congrega-
tion was much interested, and gave
him a very attentive hearing. He
chose as • his text the first clause of
the 2nd verse of the 12th of Hebrew—
"Looking unto Jesus," and he en-
deavored to show the value of, and
necessity for at, true ideal. Mr. Ansley
made no attempt at display, but kept
close to the right lines of thought.
The congregation appreciated his
eft in and wilt be pleased to hear him
ag urn. The Advance predicts a bright
and useful future for this diligent
student.
FROM FORMER RESIDENT.
To the Editor of the Advance—
Dear Sir :—As this is the time of
the year that some of the residents of
Wingham and surrounding country,
may be taking a trip to the West, I
thought it inight be of Some service to
them if I gave a little information
about this district. There will be
about three or four hundred extra
men required in this section to harvest
and thresh the crop, from present
appearances.
Without doubt the Dauphin Valley
is as good, and has as many advan-
tages as any district west of Winni-
peg; and when fully developed will
Neal the best districts in Ontario.
The present crops are good and we
have every prospect of an excellent
yield. There has never been a failure
of crops in this part since it was first
settled, there being plenty of moisture
to keep the grass green for pasture
from early spring until late in the
fall. We have a district here that is
well adapted for mixed farming, stock
raising and dairying being particular-
ly successful, and there is certainly no
better section of grain.
There aro a number of former teal -
dents of Wingham, livingin thetown
and surrounding country and I think
that they are all well satisfied with
their location, We are installing a
gravity systeni of waterworks in town

Should you or any of my other old
Wingham friends visit the Wert, do
not fail to come to Daughin as you do
not see the beat part of the country
until you have seen the Dauphin
Valley.
instead of taking up too much of
your valuable space, I ani sending you.

description of the Town of .Dauphin
and the Dauphin Valley; and I shall
be,l,leased to furnish a copy of dile
booklet to any parties wishing to
have one, and also to glen any- other
information that 1 oats about this,

Bridge Defective.
On account of oneend of the 0. P. -
R. bridge over the Maitland sagging
it was not deemed safe to run trains
over it, and for a few days, the trains
have stopped at the B line. We un.
deretand that steps were taken to
remedy the defect at once,
Wells Examined.
The Commissioners had an expert
here on Tuesday to examine the wells,
Mr. Jas, Peat, of Petrolea. He ex-
amined them and thinks it would be a
mistake to draw the casings, and does
not think it necessary to go to the
expense of drilling a new well to
ascertain if the casings are down, An
effort will be made to drive them.
Mr. Peat thinks the flow of water is
coming from a gravel bed, and con-
siders the town fortunate to get so
much good water at so small a cost.
It would be very unwise he thinks to
abandon these wellsto drill any other
place.

Severe Storm.
The storm that passed over Wings
bane on Wednesday, 9.h inst.. while
the Advance was being printed. was
more severe to the south and east.
While here we had rain, other places
report heavy hail. A. H. re-
ports that in Hullett crops were in-
jured. henry Young of. Buffett said
that his crop was completely ruined
and placed his loss at $2,000, what was
left not being worth cutting. In the
south of Morris hail as big as small
hen eggs fell and did great damage to
grain, gardens and window glass, and
the losses will be severe to Messrs.
Evans, Bewley, McLean, McCallum
and others. Grain was cut down in
some places as if a knife had done it.
Chunks of ice were stili to be seen
Thursday morning. Some of the Oth
line farmers also suffered.
Golden Wedding.
Fifty years to share each others
joys and sorrows, toils and cares, do
not fall to the lot of all who enter the
matrimonial estate. Such however is
the experience of Mr, and Mrs. Ker-
naghan of Wingham_ Town plot, for
fifty years ago on Wednesday, July
19th, 1801, was their happy wedding
day. A number of their friends joined
with them in celebrating their Golden
Wedding day, and a pleasant social
time was spent. Among those from
a distance were Miss J. Kernaghan of
Guelph and Mrs. Robt. Maeneen of
Elora, both of whom were present at
the wedding fifty years ago. Mr. and
Mrs. Kernaghan were married in
Galt, by Rev. Dr. Boomer of Trinity
Church,- Though advanced in years,
they are still hearty, and the • Advance
extends congratulations, and expres-
ses the hope that although Mr. and
Mrs. Kernaghan have passed the
fiftieth milestone of their married
life, they may yet be spared to enjoy
each other's company for many more
happy years.
From Dauphin.
From the office of Mr. R. 0. Spar -
ling, Dauphin, Man,, the Advance has
received a very neatly illustrated
patnphlet, setting forth the advant-
ages of Dauphin. Mr. Sperling wag, a
few years ago, a resident of Wing -
ham, but attracted by the lure of tho
West located in Dauphin, and evident-
ly has no reason to regret his choice.
Typographically, the pamphlet is ex-
cellent, and while it outlines the pro-
ductiveness of Ma '
nitoba it also sets
forth the advantages of Dauphin as a
location, Fifteen years ago, it was a
wheat field ; now a town of 6,000 in-
habitants, with railways, waterworks,
ete. The town con has two fine
school
,baildings, costing $44,000 each, with
18 teachers, six churches, a tenth hall
and fire department. During 1910,
half a million bushels of wheat were
shipped from the elevators of Dau-
phin, One thing is noticeable about
these Western towne, besides their
rapid growth—that ie, the citizens
have faith in their town, and lend a
hand to boom it, There does not
seem to be much roam for the
"knocker." Because the citizens have
teeth in the town, work for it, and
adver tree it, the town grows and pros -
titre, and the eltisens In Clue tune reap
their reward iri increased values of
property, We know of some eastern
towns that might profit by a similar
course of action.

,Woman's institute Picnic.
The
Wingham branch of the
Woman's Institute will hold thelr
annual picnic In Mr, John T.Ourrle's
grove on the lath line of avast Wawa -
nosh on. Thursday afternoon, August
3rd, and all members are cordially
invited to attend, Conveyances will
leave Currie Bros, livery stable at
one p.m. Members of the Bluevale
and Beigrave branches are requested
to join with the Wingham members
in this annual outing. The regular
monthly meeting of the Institute for
July is withdrawn owing to the Sun-
day School excursion to Kincardine.
Cucumber Pickles.
Take cucumbers about four inches
long and make them ready for
pickles ; put into a jar, and pour boil-
ing brine over them—the proportions
of salt to water is a cupful of salt to a
gallon and a half of water, Let stand
over night, drain off and repeat, for
six mornings. The seventh morning
pour over the cucumbers a weak vine-
gar water, boiling hot; the next
morning drain, put in allspice, whole
pepper, cinnamon bark, white mus-
tard and celery seeds, cloves and
brown sugar, according as you like.
Then put fresh vinegar over the
cucumbers, and cover closely. They
will be ready for use in a few weeks.
Capacity Of A .Silo.
You may ascertain approximately
how much a round silo will hold by
the following :—Multiply the diameter
of the silo by itself, and the product
by decimal 7851; this will give you the
area of the circle; multiply that by
the height of the silo and you will
then have the cubical contents, In a
silo not over 36 feet deep, the average
weight of a cubic foot of silage ie- 43
pounds, so that if you multiply the
cubical contents by 43 you will have
the number of pounds of silage; divid-
ing by 2,000 will give the number of
tons. If the depth of the silo is over
36 feet the comparative weight will be
over 43 pounds to the cubic foot.; A
leading agricultural paper figures that
a silo 34 feet deep and 17 feet diameter
will hold 150 tons, or enough to give
35 cows 40 pounds each day for 200
days.
An Aged Family.
The Brussels Post had the following
reference to the Leech family, one of
whom (uncle Joe as he was called)
formerly resided at Bluevale :—"Our
attention has been called this week
to the almost unequalled record of the
well known Leech family by the visit
of three members in town, in the per-
sons of such veterans as Edward
Leech, Trowbridge, in his 90th year,
James Leech, aged 84 years and Rev.
W, W., of California, aged 71, all
active men enjoying•% good degree of
health. There were 10 brothers in the
Leech family, all of whom were born
in Leeds Co., Ont., 6 of them are still
alive. The combined ages total 491
years, an average of 82. This note-
worthy list comprises the following
gentlemen :—Robt„ of Detroit, aged
91 years; Edward, Trowbridge, aged
89 years ; James, Gorrie, aged 81
years; Joseph of Toronto aged 80
years; George of Toronto aged 70
years ; Rev. W. W., California aged
71 years, The persons referred to are
