Progressives of North Huron won another victory at the polls on Tuesday, when they elected their candidate, Mr. J. W. King with a majority of a little over 25 o: The figures. thus far are not a sensate and the majority is likely to increase. or decrease slightly. The Conservatives of North Huron can- notn ca - not hope to win until they cease to q nasi^ell among themselves. The "old sore" was opened again on Tuesday vhen a number of Mr. Spotton's sym- pathizers,, who felt their man should have been given anotherchafice, carne ut and voted and worked forthe election of Mr. King.. At present it oolcs as though the Hurons are in t he Liberal column to stay for some years. Mr. Nlclswan's popularity wa oticeable in his own town of God _ rich, where he was given a majority f 693, even though the Liberal or- ganization and the Goderich Signa worked hard to defeat him. Mr King made gains. in many of the rural poling divisions and in Wingham where he had 94 votes more than las year. The returns are of course, not o ficial, but we are publishing them and believe there will not be man changes. ti p 0 1 s n e 0 - T t f - Y.

Dear Sir: in a We people of the East know vague sort of way that on the Pacific coast of our wide Dominion, lies a city of some importance called Van- couver, but few realize that it is now the thirdlargest city in Canada, hav- ing recently passed Winnipeg in pop- ulation, and is still racked with grow- ing pains. At present the election ex- citement is at its height, but as soon as, that is over the people will go back to clearing off scrub, blasting out big stumps and building more houses in: the suburbs. The C. N. R., with great faith in. the future of the city, is laying plans to erect a magnificent hotel with son rooms, and to cost $4,- 000,000, Nearly half the wheat of last year's crop, that was shipped through Canadian ports, went by way of Vancouver. Needless to say the people out here are not any more en- thusiastic over the Hudson Bay line, than are those of Montreal, but if the wheat and grains now beinfi shipped millions and millions of 'bushels of through American ports, can be di- verted to our own, there will be plen- ty, of traffic for the St. Lawrence and Hudson Bay routes and Vancouver as well, not forgetting Prince Rupert which is also trying to get into the game. Vancouver is now recovering nicely after the slump following the great boom of a few years ago. Property has now an assured value and is being, sold at substantial prices. Brick dwelling are scarce in Van- couver, the people apparently finding tasty frame bungalows, of a moderate size, ;snore to their liking, being more cheaply built and heated, and costing less for furnishings, the money saved. in this way hei.iig put into autos and garages. Of course this is an all the year round auto country, and as a consequence, the best sites in every town and city seem to be occupied by service stations, many of them with every convenience for motorists.. A. man in Seattle remarked to the wri- ter that the churches there are finding hard sledding, but that there seems to be no lack of niot+ey for au- tos, service' stations, and. 'ptc'ture shows.. Perhaps the sense things might be said of Vancouver,•but. would not apply to the same extent, Vancouver held a big fair from Aug 4th to, r4th. There +avis a very cred- itable display, of grain. ,fruit vegeta- bles and flowers, as well as live stock and manufactured gods. There was also the usual midway attractions, but the greatest centre of interest was tht stampede, consisting of bronko bust- ing, riding wild steres bate backd and. other features of at like nature, This "stampede" business; like so nraity other things, in What Timothy Hay calls "these > dtgineratc days," has be- come commercialized, The prizes offered at the big events are now suf- fitiently attractive to make it worth while to keep good "buck junipers.,, alt through the year, for no other pus pose : than to attend the stampedes: The craee, is working eastwards,. and is to be one of the, attractiots at: the Ottawa Vail Fair. A lot of politicians will no doubt attend to try to learn 1how to hold their seats tinder adverse elrctitnstances. Was glad to see by the Wingham ' paper, that the candidates are now in 1' he ffield. for North Huron, and hope; i:o be horse in tiixte to see, at least, the heel of the Mint. - Yours sincerely, Abner Coscns Subscriptions $2.0o per yeller. DIAMOND JUBILEE Ebenezer Church on the Bluevale United Church Circuit The Diamond Jubilee Anniversare services were lield, in. Ebenezer Un- ited Church on Sunday; Sept, 121h, 1926 ,. The morning service_ was tak- en by Rev. Geo. Jewitt, a former resi- dent a the neighborhood now an hon- ored Superanuated veteran of our .. church, retaking his hone in Sarnia. His text was taken from Zech 2, ree 2, "Where ainanwith a measuring line went forth to measure Jerusalem." His theme following the line of measur- ing.

You cannot measure the church a'sa,d hedealt particularly with. the work and influence of the church, past and present locally and it has eminated to larger fields, east west south, and north, and closed swot an apepal to the people of the communi- ty to give their most hearty a:rd loyal. support, both spiritually and financial- ly to their church, which means such an influence for the uplift' of the commttnity. The evening service was taken by Rev. D. D. Thompson, a forter pde- tor. His theme was taken from the: incident of Peter healing the blind man at the Beautiful gate of the Terns ple. "Silver and gold have I none,. but such as I have I given unto 'Thee? His special appeal was for the conse- cration.and the giving of the life in service arid by so doing enriching the life in service of the individual and the community. ,,The, church vi -as fill- ed morning, and evening, and numbers could not gain admittance. A choir of those forming the choir when the church was enlarged an remodelled in 1893 and prior to that date gave an excellent leadership in praise at the morning service while the present choir supplied the musicat the even- service. On Monday nightan old-fashioned tea -meeting was held in the shed which was fitted up and decorated for he occasion. The gathering was pre- sided over by the pastor Rev, A. V. Walden, and the special feature was the history of the ihurch read by Rev. Geo. Jewitt. The supper was a banns eous feast supplied by the ladies of Ebenezer who know how to provide abundantly, The programme con- sisted of addresses by the neighboring ministers, humorous number by Mr. Harry McGee, reading by 'Lis.i Ber- nice Shaw, musical numbers by the Thynne orchestra, Blyth and Wing - ham High school orchestra.
