Some Fine Wheat.
(Winnipeg Evening Free Press.)
The casual visitor to the C. P. R. depot
rVednesday afternoon between the Insure
of 2 and 4 o'clock might imagine that the
ouch -talked -at Summer Carnival was
aboab to materialize after all. Strotebed
along on improvised tables and bunches
in magniftoont confusion wore a largo
number of samples of wheat, barley, peas,
,turn grasses, Indian corn, beets, pis.

rantu, plums and seedling ash leaved

wheat, etc. being equal in the race for
lietinction. If the crop prospects for
this year could fairly be judged by the
samples submitted for competition there
is little to apprehend as to results of the
harvest of 1889. Unfortunately no in.
formation wan furnished as to the date of
sowing or mode of °eltivation, blot there
is no room to doubt tbat careful farming
even of the phenomenally rich soil of
Manitoba pays well. That sown on
bank -setting or summer -fallow where the
work was faithfully performed has re-
sisted the effects of the drought more than
ehat sown on stubble land.
The classification of wheat samples, it
is but proper to say, was made entirely
without regard to whore they were grown

Washington Letter.
(L'ront;our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, July10, '80.
President Harrison returned to Wash.
ington from Deer Park Wednesday after-
noon, accompanied by Mrs. Harrison,
the two having made the return trip un•
attended and alone in the handsome
private ear "Baltimore,” of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.
Mrs, Harrison's return to Washington
was not due to indisposition as stated.
She has been away from the city some
time, and Dame over to attend to some
domestic duties. She will in all pro-
bability return to Deer Park to -day or
to -morrow, accompanied by the Presi-
dent.
It is probable that tate President will
leave Washington for Deer Park to-
morrow for a more extended visit than
his previous one. He dopa not expect to
return to the city for aboub two weeks
and will transact at Deer Peek any busi.
nese requiring his immediate attention.
It has not been settled whether or not
the official announcements of matters de-
cided upon by the President will be made
public from Washington or Deer Park.
The probabilities, however, ars that any
appointments which may be made while
the President is away will be given out
from the White House, while any matters
which do not require autloentioetion by
the clerks at the Executive Mansion will
be made known at Deer Park. In this
latter category oan be included pardons
and respites to criminals. This visit to
Deer Park and the President's contem-
plated stay at Bar Harbor as the guest of
Secretary Blaine will constitute the
President's regular vacation. After his
return from Maine ho will probably
again make the White House his home
and take short trips out of the city when-
ever practicable until the heated term is
over.
A very important work undertaken by
the Agriculture Department for the bone.
fit of the farmers is the division of the
whole country into formal areas, show.
ing hy a system of maps, tho particular
regions or belts to which various species
of animals are indigenous. The utility
of these maps, in conjunction witlo the
work of the experiment stations in par-
ticularizing the soils and available pro.
dudeof these several regions, will be
readily appreciated as a manna by which
the farmers can readily decide to which
region belt their farms properly belong.
In pursuance of this work, which is in
charge of the ornithologist of the Depart-
ment, will ep issued from time to time a
periodical 'bulletin under the title of
"North American Farms," of which the
first is in the hands of the Governmgnt
Printer, and will shortly be issued. These
bulletine will contain the result of the
researches rendered necessary by the
work referred to, end will necessarily be
of special interest to naturalists. The
undertaking is the first of the kind in-
itiated by any country on the globe.
Walker Blaine returned from Bar
Harbor Wednesday and was at his desk
in too State Department as usual. He
reports his father, the Secretary, as quite
well and greatly enjoying the sett breez-
es.
Mr. Blaine said that there was not the
Blighted foundation for the story of hie
father's resignation, or for the report
even that ho contemplated resigning.
Secretary Blaine, in all probability, will
not return to Washington before the 1st
of October, when he expects to occupy
hie house on Madison place, opposite
Lafayette Square. Walker Blaine will
have an interview with the Prosideut bo -
fore the latter leaves for Doer Park to
consult with hind about his proposed trip
to Bar Harbor in August. It is among
the probabilities that the President will
take a vessel at New York and make the
trip by sea for bhe benefit accruing from
an 0bean voyage.

To the Editor of T1114 PORT.
Son, --I have heard a good deal of talk
this week about moving the Brnesels
postale° from .its present location, but I
don't know as Thos. Farrow over said he
was going to do so. I don't approve of a
perambulatory postomos and consequent -
y feel it should be lett as it is unless Mr.
Farrow builds an office for himself. There
are other things I don't believe in, too,
One is in reference to onr market, whiob
something litre Noah's dove, Iraq no
plane of abode. Years ago the Town
Hall was speciallyetted up with the idea
of the buying and selling being done
there, but that was not satisfactory and
en adjournment was made to the Tecum-
seh House. After the fire, which destroy-
ed
estroyed that building, the grain and produce
dealers took up quarters at the Queen's
Hotel and last Spring another flight was
made to the American Hotel. I don't
know where this northward progression
will end, but the Revere House is next
on the list. I don't believe either the
postofflne or the market should be hawk-
ed all over town to please anybody, and
in any event the townspeople should
have something to say about it. Some
of the graepiug denizens will probably
make an effort before long to remove the
Town Hall nearer to the bridge. I say
fair play to ell and lob the interests of the
entire village be taken into account.
Yours, On. Povnn'rY.
DEATH ON TIM HON. T. B. lemma E.
The Hon. T. B. Pardee, ex.Com-
missioner of Crown lands, passed quiet-
ly away at 12:30 Sunday, apparently
without much suffering. He has been
very low for some time, • and his death
hal been expected at any moment for
weeks. The funeral took place on Tues-
day at 8 p. m., and the remains were in-
terred in Lakeview cemetery. Mr. Pale
dee has been afflicted with Bright's
disease for years, and has been confined
to his house for about a your. His
resignation as a Minister of the Ontario
Government was accepted some months
ago, but Mr. Mowat refused to accept his
resignation as representative of West
Lambton. The Hon. Mr. Pardee Inas re-
presented Lambton continuously in the
Looal House since 1857. In 1871 he was
elected by acclamation. In 1872, on the
resignation of the Blake -Mackenzie
Ministry, Mr. Pardee accepted office with
Mr. Mowat, and was again returned by
his constituency by acclamation. The
death of Mr. Pardee loaves a blank in
the representation of West Lambton
which will be difficult to fill. He was
universally respected. Conservatives
and Reformers alike held the deceased in
high estimation for Ms many genial
qualities, which endeared him to all who
had the privilege of enjoying his friend.
ship. Hon. Timothy Blair Pardee, Q.0.,
M.P.P., Bencher of the Law Society of
Ontario, was born in the manly of (ren.
vine, Ontario, on December the 14, 1830.
He wan a son of the late A. B. Pardee,
and his paternal grandfather originally
came to Canada from the Eastern States.
He received his early educational train-
ing in his native county ; but he after-
wards attended echool at Brookville,
where he completed his course. It was
in that place he began the study of law,
entering the office of Hon. Wm. Reel
Richards, afterwards Chief Justice of
Canada. Before his studies were con-
cluded, however, young Pardee, like
many other adventurous spirits, booam°
possessed of tee westerngold fever, and
suddenly leaving the office, he set out for
California. Here he spent two years ;
and then bent his steps to the still more
alluring gold fields of Australia, where
the next five years of his life were pass-
ed. He now became convinced that
"searching for gold in pebble and clay"
was not necessarily the shortesb road to
fortune, and a wider and higher am.
bition ertering his mind, he turned his
face towards bis native land. Settling
at Sarnia, he resumed his reading of late,
and finished the prescribed mum in the
office of Joshua Adams. At Hilary Term,
1861, he was called to the ber, and after-
wards practised his profession at Sarnia.
He very speedily attracted attention
among the legal minds, for he had almost
all the qualities that go to make up the
successful advocate, In the first plane
ho was courteous and hearty in his
manner, so that personal popularity et
the very outset was seemed. Then he
was cautious, deliberating carefully over
a matter before making up his mind, and
this was a trait almost priceless. And
when he arose to speak he always bad
something to say, and what he lied to
say was put in a terse, straightforward
anct vigorous manner. Bet better than
all these qualities, he wag exceedingly
swift in penetration and in disorimin.
ation, and • revealed that thorough in.
sight into human oltaracter which gives
the lawyer snob influence over juries, and
invests every man with a power over his
fellowmen. Ho had unbounded energy
and an industry that know no flagging ;
and it is not strange that he soon °stab.
lashed a foremost place for himself in his
profession. Mr. Pardee followed the
example of many able lawyers and turn-
ed his attention to politica. At oho fled
general election after Confeeerabion he
was elected to the Ontario Parliament
for West Lambton; and from that time
'till oho moment of hie death he continu-
ed to represent that constituency, On
Ootober 25, 1872, ho a eepted tho oll'iee
of Provincial Secretary in the .Reform
Government, which portfolio he held
until December 4, 1878, when he booame
Commissioner of Crown Lands. Owing
to the illness which terminated in his
death, he resigned hie porbfolia in Jan.
last. IIe was married to Emma K.
