FRI.l7A 1', .NOT'. 11, 1898,~ 15nrnArof this week }Post Huron Liber. alswill Meet at Dungannon to select candidates for the Commons and Local Legislature owing to the retirement and subsequent deoeaso of U. 0, Cameron and the resignation of J. T. Garrow, The Conservatives of the Riding will hold it nominating Convention at Smith's Hill on the 18111 inst., to place standard bearers in the field for the sumo positions, An early election will likely be held as the decks are now being clear. ed for the battle, WE say Amen to the following from the Huron Signal and think it high time that a full stop wasput to the farce : There is a loose line in the election peti- tion business. The way the law stands now it is nothing but a game of bluff, and the man who has the nerve bo stay may win out. The petitions now entered are in most cases fishing expeditions, and are usually instituted not because there is evidence, but in the hope that something may tarn up. If the expected does not happen, then the petitioner has it at will to drop the petition ; if, on the other hand, they are soccessful with the drag net the vase goes on. Tbie should be stopped. It should be made incumbent upon all petitioners to prosecute a ease to the finish, or, in default, forfeit the de- posit. Suoh an amendment to the exist- ing law would not work against the prose. cution of legitimate cases, but it would hinder justice being travestied and bass- wood eases being set up to be knocked down again. It's time for a change. Loan AND LADY ABERDEEN are saying their "Good Byes" to the people of Can- ada preparatory to their return to their former horns in the Old Land. Outside of Lord Dufferin it is doubtful if a more popular Governor General has occupied the important position for many years whose tenure of office proved as generally satisfactory as that of Lord Aberdeen. All his efforts were very ably seconded by Lady Aberdeen and her interest in phi- lanthropic objects has given an impetus to this department of work that will be far reaching in its oharaoter. Lord Min. to will assume the duties of his high office next week and by the accounts given of him he will, we hope, prove a worthy successor to Lord Aberdeen. This Dominion has no use for a man of straw even although he ranks with the nobility. Many a man has the rank and the financial hacking wbo would be a complete failure in standing as the repre- sentative of Her Majesty in this oountry. Lord Aberdeen made himself acquainted with the various provinces under his jurisdiction by personal visits and will be an able exponent of Canadian affairs in time to oome in the Old Country. The people of Canada while bidding the retic. ing Governor General and his Lady "God Speed" will cordially welcome his succes- sor to Rideau Hall. Apretty good hustle should be got on for $50,000 a year and a free house but we believe there have been instances where if the three ciphers were omitted the occupant would be well paid for services rendered. A ',Eason does not require to be a very close observer of the history and geogra. phy of the Province of Ontario to come to the conclusion that it is a veritable land of milk and honey, containing and producing almost all that necessity or luxury demands. In Essex Co., to the South-west, the peach crop is a source of wonderment to those who have not lived there or travelled through that County. We reproduce a few Spree as an indica- tion of the business done in this line t The total number of baskets of peaches shipped from Leamington by the Cana. dian Express Co. this season was 49,304, weighing 582,190 lbs. This enormous quantity would make about 88 car -loads. From Ruthven there were 21,550 baskets shipped, weighing 297,000 lbs, ; Kings- ville,3 8 7 8 baskets, weighing zs4 2so lbs, Tho total nnmber of baskets handled from the three points were 79,592, with a total weight of 1,014,870 lbs. The revenue de- rived by the growers for this amount of fruit must be between 986,000 and 940r 000. These are not the only shipping points in the Co. by any means bat mere. ly an indication of the pleasing results of the past Summer. What is bane of the peach crop is equally correct in reference to the astonishing returns from the vine. yards of both Essex and Kent Counties. For the past few seasons the tobacco crop has come to the front as a new competitor and the farmers have gone into the aulti. vatlon of it so generally, although it is a crop requiring the greatest care, that no lase than 8 or 10 million of pounds has been grown in Essex and Kent ae compared with one million last year. A Company has been formed, warehouses rented and the stook will be held by the farmers nail a better price than that offered by the buyers at present is forth. coming. Samples of the product are to be shipped to the Old Country with the hope and expectation of receiving a market there et remunerative prices, '!'hen there ie the corn and bean crops wonderful for their quantity and quality. Corning l7astward we strike the grain growing, horse, Cattle, sheep and hog. raising Counties of Elgin, Middlesex, Tun elections in the North wast Ter. ritories last week have resulted in an overwhelming triumph for the llaultain. Ross Government. Seven Government men were returned by acalamabion. Premier flaaltain, in MacLeod ; Jas. H. Ross, Commissioner of Public Works, in Moose Jaw ; A, S. Rosenroll, in Wetseki- win ; D.

Albert, Victoria and Canning, ton, are to be held this week. A. L. Sifton, brother of the Minister of the Interior, has defeated Dr. Brett, leader of the Opposition in Banff con- stituency, by 30 votes. Dr. Brett is a resident of Banff and a leading Conserve. tive. He has represented the consbitu. enoy for several terms, and was regarded as a fixture in the House. In Wolseley district Dr. Elliott has 52 majority 1 Souris, Connell, 80; Red Deer, Speak- man, 80 ; Edmonton, McCauley, 05, with two polls to bear from ; Prince Albert, West, McKay, 50 ; Batoohe, Chas.

Tan cheese and butter business of the Dominion of Canada is among its most flourishing interests and we are only in the beginning of a most lucrative trade if the proper care and management are continued in the manufacture and mar- keting of these important commodities. Something like au approximation of the growth in output of dairy product by this country during the past third of a century can be made by studying the increase in the number of cheese and butter factories in the Dominion since 1871, and the en- larged capacity of them :— Cheese factories in Canada— 1871 358 1881 709 1891 1 565 1897 2,556 Besides 203 factories which produce both butter and cheese. The growth of the creamery industry is illustrated by the following figures :— Creameries in Canada — 1871 None 1881 46 1891 170 1898 ,. 559 These figures are from George Johnson, the Dominion statistician, who says that the average output of cheese in 1891 was valued at 90,250 per factory, and in 1871 it was worth 94,570. The average value per factory for 189798, Dir. Johnson esti• mates at 95,570, or about 91,000 more than in 1871, giving an output in 1897 of about 915,800,000 against en output in 1891 of 80,780,000 ; in 1881 of 95,460,000, and in 1871, of 91,602,000. In 1891 the output of butter per factory was 95,400. At the same rate the output in 1897-98 would be about $8,018,600. FROM THE KLONDIKE. Interesting letter from A. 11, Sinclair, brother or Barrister SInolafr, lllrus• sels, as reported In the IVnneonver World. M. H. Sinclair, one of the late arrivals from the gold fields of the North, is stop. ping in the city for a few days with A. R. Tufts, Seymour street, on bis way to his home in Los Angeles, Cal. Het says be bad a very pleasant trip. Leaving Vancouver on June 9th, he arrived in Bennett in time to take the first steamer down the river to Dawson, making the trip from Vancouver to Dawson in 14 days. The weather daring the Summer was all that could be desired in any noun - try. '+The mosquito stories are as mis- leading," said Mr. Sinclair to the World representative, "es many other reports from the Yukon country. The weather is uniform, with scarcely any wind dug. ing the Summer months, and I also understand the Winters are the same in that respect, which greatly modifies the otherwise intense cold. I have spoken with many people who have wintered there that have lived in Manitoba, and they generally agree that the cold is not felt to be greater in Dawson. It is a model mining camp in point of law and order; no petty stealing, and there ie every opportunity for those so disposed, as goods of all kinds are piled up and left wherever convenient 00 the streets and paths around the city, Tho Canadian Government certainly deserves great credit for the system of ruling her ter. ritory in the North.weet. It is a com- mon expression by Canadians from the older sections of Canada and Americans as well, that it fe surprising that among such a large number of people of nearly every race and tongue struggling in the mad rush for gold that there is so little ()rime or rowdyism, and that a few mounted polios oat keep order, when it would require double the number of of. 9cers in older, and in some respects more civilized oornmunities. I toneidor the country very much over -rated as a gold. producing country. While it is a fact that it is wonderfully rich in places, yet THE BRUSSELS POST the area so far discovered is limited and even on the far famed Eldorado and Bonanza creeks there are many claims that do not pay to work, and present in• ciicatious do not justify the great rush there, 'There are a great mauy people leaving Dawson, and many more who are unable to leers at present as the trans• portatiuu rates are so high that they will be compelled to remain and oome mit over the loo, which will be less hazardous than last Winter, as the Government is establishing mounted pollee posts on the river and lakes from 20 to35 utiles apart, all the way from Dawson to Bennett. Mr. Ogilvie, with his staff 0f assistants, are improving matters considerably, especially in the post•ollice department, recording and license offices, and I under - steed there was some wholesale arresting in progress among the gambling fratern. ity. The initiers expect many changes beneficial to thein from the new adminis. tration. The 10 per cent. royalty is the source of a great deal of dissatisfaction smoog the miner's, and which, no doubt, does retard the development of the coun- try. In soma cases the owners of rash mines can afford to pay royalty, bot in far the majority of oases it is considered too great a tax. I do not believe there are many really good paying properties that have shut down on account of hay- ing laying to pay the royalty, but it is consider- ed a great hindrance to the development of the country in general, and is looked upon by the miners as unjust taxation. The prospeotor should be encouraged by every means instead of being hsudicap• ped, as it is a hard country to prospect in. It is extremely difficult for prospeo. tors to carry over the present trails enough provisions to make a trip of any great distance from supply centres. There is a great need of trails being opened out into new sections of the country, and that oan only be ac0omp- lished by the Government or large car• potations, and there are nob many very large corporations operating in placer claims, The great future of Dawson wi 1depend largely upon the opening out of quartz mines and there is a good deal of atten- tion being given in that direction. There have been upwards of 400 quartz claims recorded at Dawson, and some olaims in the vicinity of the oily are attracting coosiderable attention, not on account of the high grade, but of the immense do - posits of gold bearing ore. Donald Mo. Kinnon, of Maple Creek, N. W. T., and myself discovered au immense vein of quartz only Si miles from Dawson, on the Bonanza creek, which shows free gold in the °toppings. The vein is about 95 feet in width and can be plainly traced at least 5000 feet along the mountain. Cut. ting through a highly mineralized ore body on one side of the vein, we inspect. ed this deposit, and it is at least 500 feet wide and ab least 1,500 feet long, in fact, the whole mountain is one solid body of gold -bearing ore, as the Gallic name we have given our property would imply— the Ben D'Or. Our property is not for sale at present. We have already inter- ested Edward Perron, M, L, A., of As• sioaboia, with us, and we have ample capital for the present development of the mines. We have already let a large development contract on the property and my partners remained to attend to the working of the mines and I fully ex. peon to hear wonderful news of our property very soon. I do not intend to return unless ib is necessary to do so. I might, possibly go up in the Spring and take a look at the late strike on Pine Creek, or Atliu Camp, as it is generally called. I have spoken with many conservative men who have been there and they all agree that it has a good future. It is certainly a poor man's camp, as it is easy of access and the bed -rock not very deep. There have been no very rich claims found but it ie considered with present developments to be good wage diggings, but as there has been very little work done yet, in con- parison with the area of gold.bearing ground discovered, it is impossible to esti- mate how rich it may prove to be, With the present developments it would not justify a great rush there and it is my opinion people are overlooking many good things in the vicinity of Vancouver and Victoria in the way of mining and other investments. I notice a very marked im- provement in the appearance of the city since I left, so many new and substantial buildings are being erected together with the fine street improvements that are go. ing on, looks well for the future of Van. mover." INTERESTING TO MUNICIPAL. CLERKS. Ma. EDITOR.—As I think you wish all men fair play you will please allow me a few lines to Municipal Clerics. As there is a County meeting in Clinton on the {16th inst., every Clerk should be there to have a say in trying to have the Municipal Ants amended. We have 50 votes for Dominion and Provincial oleo• Hone and all the fees go to others. The Clerk of the Peace, who has a good sal• artreceived for Voter ' List and verti d mites for the Plebiscite vote 9322.58 ; for the Provincial elention last March about the same amount, and for sending a Voter's List to Ottawa for Dominion purposes, about 9150 more. He has {no work in preparing, nor any responsibility and is n0 more the custodian of the Voters' Lists than the Judge or County Clerk or members of the Dominion and Provinoial Parliament, The Clerks are liable to heavy penalties if they negleot any duty with Voters' Lists, or reports to Boatel of Health, Bureau of Induetriee, Registration Acta, Inspector of sehoole, or almost every thing they do and don't do, and all Government fees go to men wbo de, not earn them nor have a vote. They may pay balk pert of fees for elsa- tion funds if the wicked Tories tell the truth, hot let the Clerks now look out after No. 1 and we will gob jnetioe. JNo, C. MonnisoN.
