a A meeting of the heads of the muni-
cipalities of the towns of Goderieh and
Kincardine and the townsnips of Ash -
HEAD O. r1cE; Tol:oNTo field and Huron, municipalities that
guaranteed the bonds of the Ontario
Sir Edmund B. OSLER, M. P., President. West Shore Railway to the extent of
W. D. MATHEws, Vice -President. I $400,000, was held in Goderich last
.$4,700,000.00 I week to discuss the present situation hi
$5,600,000.0(1 all its phases.
$70,II00,000,00 Some time ago construction work on
the railway ceased after the rails were
laid from Goderieh north towards Kin-
cardine, about 15 miles. The announce-
ment was made that all the momey
raised by the guaranteed hoods had
been paid out by the Toronto General
Trusts Corporation, Then, a few days
ago, each municipality that guaranteed
the bonds received notice that it would
be required to meet the interest accum-
ulating on the bonds. It was this ap-
parently serious conditions of affairs
that brought the meeting together at
Goderieh.
An announcement which had a ten-
dency to ease the minds of the dele-
gates was to the effect that J, W.
Moyes, president of the railway com-
pany, had negotiations under way
whereby the municipalities would not
have to me, t the payments of interest,
and the railway eventnally would be
finished and in operation within a reas-
onable period.
The railway when completed will do
much to enhance the value of the farm-
ing community through which it passes
and should prove a splendid paying
proposition especially in the summer.
In all probability hydro-eleetric pow-
er will be utilized to operate it.
The total amount of bonds guaran-
teed is $400,000 made up as follows:
Goderieh, $150,000; Ashfield, $125,000;
Huron Township, $75,000; Kincardine,
$50,000. In addition it is presumed
that $300,000 additional, as required by
agreement, has been spent by the
company, making a total expenditure
of $000,000, and only about 17 miles
completed. The road connects with
the G. T. R. at Meneset, across the
river from Goderieh, and it is persis-
tently rumored that the C. P. R. is to
acquire it.

EDITORAL NOTES.
The Toronto Globe staff presented
Senator Jaffray, president of The Globe
Printing Company, with an oil painting
in honor of his 80th birthday.
South Renfrew Conservatives decided
to break the agreement with the Lib-
erals, and nominated Dr. M. J. Maloney
for the Commons against Hon. G. P.
Graham, They offered to allow Mr
Low to be elected again without oppo-
sition.
The new Legislature will commence
its work on Wednesday, February 7.
The official announcement was made by
Sir James Whitney Thursday evening.
When the members of the Legislature
gather at the Parliament buildings
they will find a lengthy program of
work awaiting them. Despite the fact
that the coming session is the first one
of a new Legislature a circumstance
that is apt to mean more declamation
than real business—the legislation un-
der way promises to be of more than
usual importance. Added to this, the
budget of private bills will probably be
larger than that of last year, judging
from the rate at which notices are be-
ing sent in.
Acme of Service.
Taking into consideration the mag-
nificent equipment supplied by the Can-
adian Pacific, even at full Tariff rates,
is a bargain day for the travelling pub-
lic.
The new compartment ears recently
put into vice between Toronto and
Ottawa, and TorV'and Montreal, on
trains leaving NoToronto at 10 p. m,
daily, in additionhe electric lighted
sleeping cars. also operated on this train
make it second to none on the contin-
ent.
The compartment cars have a style all
their own, being latest in construction
appointment. They are electric lighted
throughout; absolute privacy is assured;
individual toilet requisities, etc.
"A Premier Tram," is the general
verdict; some say, a credit to Canada.

Seed Oats for Sale.
Arrangements are being made by',
Mr. J. Loekie Wilson, Superintendent
of Agricultural and Horticultural So-
cieties, for agricultural societies
throughout the Province to purchase
quantities of pedigree banner oats from
a farmer in Carleton county, whose
grain has been carefully watched by
the Canadian Seed -growers' Associa-
tion. It is suggested that the secre-
tary of each society should communi-
cate with Mr. Wilson or his Depart-
ment at the Parliament Buildings. Mr.
L. H. Newman of Ottawa, Secretary
of the Canadian Seed -growers' Asso:i-
ation, has promised that he or some of
his staff will see that all grain is prop-
erly bagged and sealed and a tag will
be attached to each bag, with full in-
structions as to the best methods of
cultivating. It is expected that by
this means, as well as through the in-
fluence of the standing field crop com-
petitions, Ontario will come to be
known as the place where the best seed
in the Dominion can be procured. Much
gratification is felt by the Department
over the fact that this year is the first
since the standing field crop competi-
nions were started in 1907, in which the
expert judges have been unable to dis-
cover a single seed of wild oats in all
the Iarge exhibit of oats at the Guelph
Winter Fair. Parties in this section
who wish to purchase any of the seed
oats will kindly leave their orders with
H. B. Elliott at the TIMES office.
Stricken W th Acute Rlieuniat-
i m--lecorery Scarcely
Expected,
Mrs Dolina J. Lawlor, writing from
Oxbow, Sask., says: "I would be
lacking in gratitude if I did not write
you and let you know of the wonderful
good your Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
have done for my daughter, Belle Law-
lor, indeed I think I may say that they
have been the means of saving her life,
For many years my home has been in
Bruce Mines, Ont. Something over a
y, ar ago my son and daughter, then in
her sixteenth year, left for the west.
When leaving here my daughter was
in the best of health, but in the follow-
ing spring she was stricken with what
the doctor said wad inflammatory rheu-
matism in its worst form. After a
few weeks she was able to get up, but
her hands and limbs were so swollen
that she could not dress herself. She
continued in this way for some time,
and then a second attack, worse than
the first, set in and my son telegraphed
me, as she was very low. While I was
getting ready to make the trip of
eighteen hundred miles I got a second
message to come at once, as they fear-
ed she could not live. When I reached
her I found her even worse than I had
expected. She was so weak and ema-
ciated that I would not have known
her, and she could only speak in a
whisper. Her hands and fingers were
all twisted and her limbs swollen to
twice their natural size, The doctor
had then been attending her for two
months, and she seemed st wily grow-
ing worse. We did not d •e move her
in bed for fear of her h rt giving out.
She was as pale as a orpse, and her
lips and face always old. We had to
fan her continually, and if we ceased
even for a little le she would gasp
for breath, and no one who saw her
thought it possible she could get better.
She suffered such pain that I used to
go out of the room and put my fingers
in my ears to shut out her gasping and
moaning. I had known before of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and as we could
gradually see her sinking I told my son
I was going to give her the Pills. He
was opposed to my idea for he thought
a change in the medicine might prove
fatal. However it was finally decided
to give her the Pills. In a week's time
she showed some improvement and felt
like eating. From that time on she
began to gain steadily. Gradually her
hands and fingers became straight, the
swelling in the limbs went down, and
her heart -beats became regular, and
the color returned to her face, and
soon the cure was complete. She is
now as strong and healthy as any girl
of her age, and to see her you would
never think she had passed through an
illness from which none of her friends
thought she could recover. You have
my sincerest thanks tor what Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills have done for my
daughter, and you may be sure 1 shall
always warmly recommend them "

Accidents During December.
Eighty-two fatal and one hundred
and ninety-four non-fatal accidents to
workpeople were recorded by the
Department of Labor during De-
cember. This record shows a slight
decrease compared with the preceding
month, and is much less than in the
same month of last year. In Novem-
ber there were 286 accidents, fatal and
non-fatal, to individual workmen, and
in December, 1910. there were 351 acci-
dents.
A Blind Man as Preisicleat.
The North Renfrew Agricultural So-
ciety has just elected a most remark-
able man as its President. He is R. H.
seat of Bettchburg, who has been to-
tally blind since Childhood. Scott is a
living example of the power of the
human will and intelligence to conquer
difficulties. He is a machinery agent
and horse dealer, and travels the Unit-
ed and Canada unassisted, ed States d, buy
ing horses, which he judges solely by
the sense of touch, He is said to be an
expert. Mr. Scott became blind through
an accident in which a portion of a eop-
per rivet was driven into one eye. In-
ilammation ensued and he lost the sight
of both eyes.

Mrs. Rand's to send comfort bags

reported having made thirteen visits
since last meeting, also having sent
several baskets to the needy at Christ-
mas. Also asked that as next week
being a week of prayer, that Friday,
Jan. 26th be given for one hour, com-
mencing at 3 o'clock, to meet at the
home of Mrs. Joynt and another at the
home of Mrs. Alex. Ross. Superinten-

were much appreciated. Superinten-

successful in having seven girls pre-

some discussion on Woman's Franchise
it was moved that Miss Mulvey act as

Meeting closed with prayer.
ANOTHER LOCAL OPTION FIGHT.
Again the temperance forces and
the bar -room have joined battle and as
usual the contest has ended with the
temperance forces in undisputed pos-
session of certain parts of the field,
with vietory trembling in the balance
in certain other parts, and with the
comforting fact to be borne in mind
that even our defeats do not mean in
any sense an extension of license terri-
tory, but, rather, even in such cases a
more Careful observance of the law.

all of these Cases the victories will pro-
bably be permanent. -The Guardian,

LIVE STOOK MARKETS.
Toronto, Jan. 22 -Union Stock Yards,
West Toronto — Receipts for to -day
were 152 cars, with 2,681 head of cattle,
33 calves, 1,360 hogs, 833 sheep and
lambs and 12 horses.
Market was good and strong for any-
thing of decent quality and good
weight. A load of cattle was sold as
high as $6.05; a load at $6.85, and quite
a few loads at from $6,25 to $6.75. But
while the market holds very firm and
with a tendency to higher prices for
good to choice butcher cattle, in fact
the heavier the better, there is a de-
cidedly draggy feeling as regards the
large receipts of light, poorly -fed cat-
tle, with which the market seems to
be too heavily Loaded. Shippers might
do well if they could withhold for a
time some of these unfinished cattle,
as there is no doubt but that these are
doing considerable to hurt the market
at the present time,
Lambs were selling firm, and in some
cases 20c to 25c higher than last week,
a few lambs selling at $7.50 and even
$7.75.
Sheep steady to firm at $4 to $4 50.
Hogs a little easier at $6.50 fed and

What the Mounted Police are Doing.
The annual report of the Controller
of the Northwest Mounted Police, just
issued from Ottawa, shows the strength
of the force to be 50 officers, 576 non-
commissioned officers' and constables,
and 566 horses. This is a decrease of
23 men and 21 horses. Alberta has 73
detachments; Saskatchewan 83; North-
west Territories 6, and Yukon 8. There
are eleven divisional posts. Illustrating
the work and responsibility of the av-
erage constable, the Controller quotes
a report from one whose territory cov-
ers 2,000 square miles and contains 10
nationalities. One settler has never
seen a policeman, and inquired if he
was an agent for sewing machines.
There is an insistent demand for
more posts, and without a substantial
increase in the force it will not be able
to render the service expected of it.
At the same time an increase is diff-
icult because of the arrangement with
the local governments for the con-
tinuence of the force being tentative.
The Controller says the rates of pay
are not high enough. Forty-eight
purchased discharges last year, and
forty-three are on the waiting list.
During the year 9,418 eases were en-
tered; 7,875 resulted in conviction, and
179 were awaiting trial on September
30. The total is a decrease of 1,167
onvictions.

LIVE STOOK MARKETS.
Toronto, Jan. 22 -Union Stock Yards,
West Toronto — Receipts for to -day
were 152 cars, with 2,681 head of cattle,
33 calves, 1,360 hogs, 833 sheep and
lambs and 12 horses.
Market was good and strong for any-
thing of decent quality and good
weight. A load of cattle was sold as
high as $6.05; a load at $6.85, and quite
a few loads at from $6,25 to $6.75. But
while the market holds very firm and
with a tendency to higher prices for
good to choice butcher cattle, in fact
the heavier the better, there is a de-
cidedly draggy feeling as regards the
large receipts of light, poorly -fed cat-
tle, with which the market seems to
be too heavily Loaded. Shippers might
do well if they could withhold for a
time some of these unfinished cattle,
as there is no doubt but that these are
doing considerable to hurt the market
at the present time,
Lambs were selling firm, and in some
cases 20c to 25c higher than last week,
a few lambs selling at $7.50 and even
$7.75.
Sheep steady to firm at $4 to $4 50.
Hogs a little easier at $6.50 fed and
watered.

What the Mounted Police are Doing.
The annual report of the Controller
of the Northwest Mounted Police, just
issued from Ottawa, shows the strength
of the force to be 50 officers, 576 non-
commissioned officers' and constables,
and 566 horses. This is a decrease of
23 men and 21 horses. Alberta has 73
detachments; Saskatchewan 83; North-
west Territories 6, and Yukon 8. There
are eleven divisional posts. Illustrating
the work and responsibility of the av-
erage constable, the Controller quotes
a report from one whose territory cov-
ers 2,000 square miles and contains 10
nationalities. One settler has never
seen a policeman, and inquired if he
was an agent for sewing machines.
There is an insistent demand for
more posts, and without a substantial
increase in the force it will not be able
to render the service expected of it.
At the same time an increase is diff-
icult because of the arrangement with
the local governments for the con-
tinuence of the force being tentative.
The Controller says the rates of pay
are not high enough. Forty-eight
purchased discharges last year, and
forty-three are on the waiting list.
During the year 9,418 eases were en-
tered; 7,875 resulted in conviction, and
179 were awaiting trial on September
30. The total is a decrease of 1,167
onvictions.
