Greig Clothing Co SEAFORTH PRODUCE TAKEN AT HIGHEST PRICES ' The third Canadian who. has been honored .is HeinerGreenwood,4n On- tario ,boy, and • a native of , hitby, who has been a resident of Landon for nearly thirty years and a tmember of the Imperial Parliament for ; ten years. He has been made a baronet, and Will be known as Sir Hamar. In. his pase the title is hereditary . It will, therefore. descend to his eldest son. Sir !Charles 'Tupper is the i only other Canadian holding a baranefey. At his death the title 'falls to his 1 eld- est son, Stewart Tu,pper, a prominent barrister in Winnipeg.There is, ; cif course, Baroness Macdonald, and Baro- ness Strathcona, both of whom got the title direct in their own right, held there is also Lord Mount Stephenall ,\ of lehoin have lived in Europe for many years. •For some years past the leading statesdnen and .politicianS in Britain seem to evade honors. Titles and the growth of democracy do hot 'seem to run 'together. • * * * invalided on account of a splinter. wound in the left arm from \e, shot eby one of the eneiny's guns, Engineer Frank ,Davidson of H.M.S. Arethuea, which has been doing splendid *ork on the North Sea, arrived at ;his home. in Ottawa. * n Engineer Davidson is a royal naval reserve man, who .was wounded in China sone years ago during the Bon- er trouble, and came to Ottawa to live when discharged from the navy. He Is one of the best known chauffeur in !Ottawa. When war broke out op tA.ugust 6th, he joined the Niobe, but subsequently- be went to England. He was the first of the- royalenaval reser- vists in Canada to answer to ithe call to arms, and is. the, first to return mounded. ,He is going back as scion as he has recovered. Davidson was wound- ed in exactly the same, kplaqe an on the former occasion, in China. He nays that the utmost enthusiasm prevails in thenavy, and that British sailors are: confident they will be master of the situation on the sea to the end. The belief prevails that the German big ,yes- sels will not come out, and ,that their crews are now fighting on land. • , a a * • , 1 The proclamation announcing ,the op- ening of parliament far. February 41h was igsued this week. •It gs 'alpo semi- officially announced that the session Is ho be devoted to War. !Business Will be almost wholly confined to .matters relating to the equipment, traneporta- tion and enlistinent of troops and ethe financial problems which they invoke. At the present time Canada is spend- ing about 4250,000 daily on the swar. This, of course, wilt be increased as the enlistment goes on, and recruiting is •steadily in progress. There is no scarcity of men. Indeed, the complaint from the west especiallris that thous- ands who one clamoring for positions in the contingents cannot find places. The difficulty Is In providing equip- ment and clothing, not In recruits. That is ,why the contingentdiin future are to he forwarded to °Kitchener's expeditionary forces in 10,000 lots. Bee August 1st,' when we will have had 'a year of the war, there will be added -to the puolic debt over e100,- 000,000. Three years oVewar will more than double Canada's debt. To . meet this growing expenditure the Canadian flaance minister will have to provide "-ways and means of raising money and present the same for the' approval ot parliamene at the coming session. While there will be discussions and sugges- tions • ab .to the mode and manner of imposing this additional taxation, so that the burdens upon the people may be as fairly . distributed as their means of payment will afford; there will be n� factious opposition to the war bud- get. . • • • * The government of British Columbia is making a ,strong, effort' to dispel the idea that the province id A., "sea, of mountains,' first mentioned by thc late Trincipid , rant in his book From Ocean to Ocati and afterward _reiter- ated' by Edward Blake in ibis speech ; In parliament iji. opposition to the terms of the Oanadiaii Pacific contract in the early d4802. I lt4ough the fisheries of British Columbia lead In the Dominion, and the wealth of its mines is very considera,ble,nn twithstanding that te large field wait development, the agri- cultural lands 4re not .nearly no mall as is generally sup msed. And theeland along the valleys a Id riverbeds is rich and productive. A pamphlet' issiad by the govern- ment ,points out t) at along the line et the new railway-) thousands oh pre- emptions- await ti e settler. Within the inew portion of 11 eitish Columbia there are 2292,127 acr; s of surveyed lands awaiting 'the pre-erriptor. With respect to some of these lands the' new rail- ways pass through them, but all sof the lands, except 128,000 acres in the. Peace river, may 'be described as rea- sonably accessible. Along the line of the (Grand ,Trunk -Pacific, from Teta Jaune Cache to the Pacific coast, is found the greatest extent- of agricul- tural lands in the province. These lands are under the administration of provincial commissioners stationed at Port George, Fort Fraser,' Hazelton and 'Prince Rupert. Good -19.nds, a fav- orable climate and first-class railway transportation, coupled with a policy of free lands for settlers; have al- ready begun the work of transforming this Portion of the province into a ser- ies of premising agricultural -settle- ments with psetentious townsites at each of the local centres. • • • • • There will be no social functions of any consequence during the coming session -9n account of the war. Their royal highness the 'Duke and Duchess of ponnaught have given out officially that the drawing-romn and the state ball will not be heldd The state din- ner at the opening w1, take place as usual. The cutting out of these social events means the los& of' congiderablo business to Ottawa people. Still, the• money can be better' uped in other 01,i- rections. :But wili it be? That 4s• thc point.. • The eprevallin.g idea is that the liest interests of the -country, from the viewpoint of war, as well as 'general business, is' to keep everything as near normal as possible, Some people rare 'said ,to be eurtailing expenditures and dispensing :with help, although they have plenty of means, because they consider It to be more in accord with war conditions. They say that along with the general run of persons they have been -living too high and lake this Means' of cutting down their ox- penditure. (Although the motive may be ell right, the consequences are to add to the nuinbers of unemployed and In- crease the work of relief committees. But so fah there have been no real difficulties in providing for all in Can- ada. The Dominion and Provincial gov- ernments are making arrangements to start ,necessary works so that all May find employment. The mayors of *cities are doing the samething. in. this way value will be received for every dellar expended and those fit to work swill be kept from applying for charity which has a bad effect and tends to pauper- ize. There is a large patriotic fund which will promptly meet the cases of all persons Who are in need because those who provided for them thave 'en- listed or are in some other way con- nected with the war.

Western Ontario Colts' League was started on the palace rink here Tues- day afternoon with ten clubs taking part. •Although the ice was a trifle soft it did not mar the play or dampen the enthusiasm of the turlers and seine splendid curling was witnessed. The rink wae beautifully decorated and presented the finest appearance in its history, and there was an unusually large gallery with many ladies both afternoon and evening. Two Highland pipers who came up with the Lucknow gurlers, supplied the music. The Mc- Laren trophy was won. by St. Marys with Seaforth the runners up, and. the Consolation event was won by Palle, whci defeated Stratford after a hard game. Stratford being 2 up, but on account of playing only three hien on one erink, they had to forfeit four points. The following are the results: TROPHY—PRELIMINARY ROUND London Thistles Hensel]. F.
