D., on April 28th I was shown through the Ogilvie Mills, where the famous Family Household flour is made. This is a modeland up-to-date mill, with a capacity of 4000 barrels of flour per day, driven by a 1400 h, p. engine the driving wheel being 22 feet in diameter, 7 foot face, 3 ply leather belt 6 feet wide and 125 feet long. The motive power in- cludes other engines, dynamos etc. Next I had a 3 -hour's drive with August Wagner, (formerly of Zurich) through the principal streets and places of interest, a- mong them being old Fort Garry, the Scott monument, Louis Riel's grave in St. Boniface cemetery and back to the station where I boarded the train for Hamilton N. D. Here among the first I met was Henry Geiger and wife, who kindly invited me to their home, where I remain- ed a few hours for chat and refresh- ment. Then Mr. Geiger drove me to John Winkenweder's for the night. Sunday 29th in the after- noon to church and Isaac Moritz 'farm. I took a walk through the cemetery where is at rest our good friend J. B. Geiger and other whom we once associated with. After service the greetings and hand shakings of the Moritzes and many others made it very pleasant for mo. In the evening in the church at Cavalier, I met Kibler, Bossen- berry, Truemner, Mrs. Deichert, the Walpers and it seemed quite homelike to meet so many old ac- quaintances. Pembina County might well be termed the Garden of Eden if it had the apple and peach. Among the farms Ernst Restemeyer's would be my choice. On my way to Grand Forks I saw a six -horse team drawing a 35 -foot harrow driven by one man. Seeding is somewhat backward here as the laid is very flat. At Cavalier wheat seeding is done and fields looking beautifully green and promising a good crop From Grand Forks to Winnipeg the land is not so good. At eight this morning I took train for Dauphin and got here at 4 p. ni. I found Arthur Stelek, by daughter Jessie and their two little daughters all hail and hearty. To -morrow will find me on the way to Prince Albert, So be it ! Joseph Heist commenced opera- tions on his brickyard last week. He has added a stone crusher to his plant. Death on Saturday April 28th, relieved Elizabeth Lamport, relict of the late Joseph King, of her sufferings at the advanced age of 78 years. Mrs. Lamport came to Stephen many years ago and with her husband, who predeceased her 19 years ago, suffered the hardships of pioneer life, but with indefatig- able perserverance assisted her late husband in hewing out a home. Of late years she lived with her son Albert, south of Crediton, at whose home she passed away. She leaves to mourn her loss eight children, Albert, Eli, of Stephen ; James, of Forest ; Edward, of Michigan ; Mrs. James Edwards, Stephen ; Mrs. S. Brokenshire, Sharon ; Mrs. Canning Grand Bend, and Mrs. Seal, of Ethel. The funeral was held Mon- day, interment being in the Fair- field cemetery and was largely attended. I thank my many customers for their kind patronage during the past year and solicit a continuance *f the same. R. N. DOUGLAS General Merchant BLAKE, ONT. Died. REYNOLbs.—At Sarepta, on April 29th Wm.

Adam Beck introduced the much talked of Power Bill in the Ontario Legislature on Monday. Its general object is to provide means by which municipalities may obtain power at their own limits and distribute and deliver the same to the owner. It creates a hydro -electric com- mission, consisting of three persons one of whom is to be a member of the Cabinet. This commission is the center of the Government's so- lution of the power problem. On application it will furnish plans, specifications and estimates. to municipal corporations, but neither the province nor the com- mission will be liable to any cor- poration for mistakes. The Government, through the commission, undertakes to build transmission lines, for which the municipalities pay : 1. Cost of power at the Falls. 2. Interest at 4 per cent. on money paid by the commission for plants. 3. Annual sum sufficient to retire the securities in thirty years. 4. Cost of operation.

San Francisco. May 7. -Geologists who have been searching since the earthquake of Apail 16 to find the cause of the seismic disturbance, report that they have found in Sierna Morns Mountains, a few miles south of San Francisco, what appears to be indisputable evidence that the earthquake was due to a change in the mountains. At the summit of the Sierra Morna Moun- tains, near Stanford University, is THE DOUKHOBORS. The Doukhobors community in the Northwest have made good progress since the famous pilgri- mage of three years ago, but there are still a number of mad people a- mong them. Fifty of them "in all stages of undress" stood. in the path of an express train between Winnipeg to Emerson one day last week, on the way to seek the Mas- ter. They were driven from the track with difficulty, seeming un- able to comprehend anything but the object of their march. It was thought these strange people had been persuaded to give up such folly. Most of tnem have, under the lead. of Peter Veregrin, adopted the habits of the country, and made considerable headway. This man has proven himself a strong and influential personage among them. He came from Siber- ia, where he hacl served fifteen years' imprisonment. Zurich markets this week are : Butter, 16, Eggs, 15, Live Hogs, $7.00' Kubelik. the famous Bohemian violinist, has his fingers insured for $50,000. It will interest many old settlers to know that the Canada Company still own 110,785 acres of land in Ontario, 70,134 of which is vacant, and the remainder under lease. The supposed carelessness of a drug clerk in Mitchell's store at Oshawa, who mistook morphine for calomel tablets, on Sundav, resulted in the death of a Mr. Mills there. County Attorney Farewell has gone to Oshawa to order a coroner's in- quest. There was a large increase in the number of snits entered in Division an immense fissure caused by the Courts last year. but the aggregate earthquake, the appearance of 1 of claims has decreased. This is which indicates that the range has due in part, says Mr. .L Dickey, split at the top, and the side near- Inspector of Division Courts, in his er the ocean has fallen into the report for 1905, to the greater number of suits where the claim does not exceed. $$10. There were 12,082 of these last year, as com- pared with 0,567 in 1904. sea, Does Your Stomach Bother You ?

From the Marine Journal "In South America," said the re- turned traveler, nthere is a peculiar species of fish which is provided with a set of embryo limbs on which it is at times able to hop across the fields and even to climax trees. I believe that is the only instance known of fishes that can travel overland," "Oh. I don't know." commented the other man, "Right here in the United States I have known fish that traveled thousands of miles overland," "You don't say I May I ask what sort of fish they are?"
