RATES 'ON LIVE STOCK CUT An important reduction, on live stock railway rates on all Canadian lines is assured, as the result of a conference held in Ottawa on Mune • day between representatives of the live- stock industry and the railways. A basic 25 per cent. decrease is prob- able. In view of the sympathetic attitude of the railway companies, it was felt that an order of the Railway Commission would be unnecessary. The railways will submit their offer to the board within one week. W. B. Lanigan, appearing for the C. P. R., said that -the condition of the live stock industry must be re- garded as an emergency. In order to retain the fertility of the soil it was most essential that the cattle in- dustry secure a measure of support at this time. He wished, however, to have the assurance of the Rail- way Commission, that any concession made to the live stock men should not be regarded as a precedent for any other freight reductions. Also, that if a general freight reduction were ordered shortly, following the impending cuts in wages, the present concession should be taken into can - sideration. Hon. Frank Carvell, chief commissioner, said that there was no abjectiwt to giving this as - Mr. Lanigan said further that a fiat reduction was not feasible. A scale of rates would he necessary, in and out of ee rteln Wester,, points, so as to obviate Inc danger of man- ipulation. Frank 1. Watson, for the Grand Trunk, also agreed that the emer- gency called for a special conces- sion. He was willing tto recommend a twenty-five per cent. reduction. Following a suggestion that the Dominion Government should be called upon to help, inasmuch as relief that the railways could offer would not keep the livestodk in- dustry on its feet. Hon. Frank Car- vell said, he had no sympathy with Government bonuses and aid. The livestock industry, like any other, must be self-supporting. Robert McKay, K.C., for the East- ern Canada Livestock Union, said that as a result of conferences held over the noon hour, he was able to say that his association would be prepared to reduce their demands from the former 50 per cent. reduc- tion to a reduction to the rates pre- vailing previous to September 13th last. This would mean a decrease of ab:,ut 26 per cent. PARLIAMENTARY LETTER. Strenuous efforts are being made by the Government press agents to persuade the people of Canada that Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen has become a world power. Inspired cables from the conference of Dominion Premiers have "Little Arthur" setting the af- fairs of the world at rights, and then planning to cut short the conference in order to rush home, put his own heu;e in order, and then rush away again to Washington in order to settle the question of disarmament as between Great Britain, Japan and the United States. However, nobody in Ottawa who has been in touch with political developments for the past -few years i; being misled by the dispatches. t'anadians 'are willing to give their Prime Minister credit for going over le London and trying t do his best (even I'';ough he has gone there with- (ut. any mandate from the ('nnadian I.eeple) lnu' they are leath t•, believe ;.inn: .'•lr.

And ,s for tine Mime Min- -niter', etf'i't; s•,cing the confe-ence of Pr:ele •.n his wishes and nines'efrom, it increasingly evident that potters that be at Downing Street are just. as versatile as ever when it Comes to a • question of appearing to give way before the Dominions when. all the time, they are in,t putting things n ' gs thi.ugh m the manner they originally intended. News of the proposed conference on disarmament brings also the news that the British Premiers intend to cut short their conference et Landon so they can all go to Washington for the big talk. The suggested date for that conference is some time during October, so that while Rt. Hnn. Nir. Meighen will he present, and rl r,,btlr.; - n also sore- f Ow other members, in - eluding Sir. ilallant.yne, of ".font; -pile fame, there will be no opportunity for them to go to that conference with any mandate from the Canadian een-,ie, any more than they have from the Canadian potpie in their present junketing tour. The feasible remt'ndy for the .Anglo - Japanese -American problem was plac- ed before the people of Canada on July 1st by Hon. W. I.. Mackenzie King when he referred to the matter during his speech at Brome. At that time' the Canadian Ministers in Lon- don were attempting to swing the 'conference of Premiers into line with their wishes regarding the alliance. King pointed out that over one ked 'tearer ago • the Gavert0hedtit. iltain afakthe.4td act='r 4:7 _. . rgCaadaht umatte g i3t disarlarliuFerlit asal "kyad +given to l4,4' world a pattern worthy of being fol- tnved in this instance. At that time, aid Mr. King, an-. agreement Wasott'eached by which the numlber.Of fighting ships on the Great Lakes should be Ilnvited to four Brit- ish and, four American. None of these was to carry more than one eighteen - pounder gun. Six months' notice was to be given by either side before the agreement could be terminated or changed, and the success of the agree- ment was evident from the fact that that six months' notice had never been given by either side. The solution of the present difficulty Mr. King pointed out, would be for Britain, Japan and the United States to get together and reach an agree- ment in regard to the number of war- ships each should maintain on the Pacific Ocean. Each of the Powers involved has extensive interests on that ocean, and an agreement such as the Great Lakes agreement, prop- erly reached and properly lived up to, would result in an immense saving to all concerned. That is practically the lines to be followed in the conference which it is now proposed to hold in Washington, and, though Canada is, of cause, an interested witness, she can hardly be any more despite the fart that the present government must have an excuse for taking au important part in the press desp•itches which are being sent out in the mat- ter. The return of Premier Meiginen from London should see a number of things disposed of which at passant are imply being neglected and el - lowed to hang fire. There ace a number of by-election writ; to be issued, tut as the Prime Minister cannot be both in Washington and on the stump in by-election cuutes's, it i; likely that these contests veil be delayed until the Washington cen- ference is out of the way. There is no wish on the part of the gavern- ment to rush the by-elections away anyway. The results inn recent con- tests have shown that there is little hope of the Government majority in the Muse being strengthened as a rrs'.,it of further vacancies being fill- : I noel th, refore the present vac- ..,..Is will remain vacancies as long as the G.sernment can keep then The usual talk of Cabinet reor- ganization drifts around at times. A lot of would-be cabinet material is being mentioned, but here again the by-electiondifficult y • arises. 'rh • most likely ' thingthat the ( ov- is ornment will hold o cabinet•on- ff t•t-. struction until it is ready to face the country in a general election, and that day will not arrive until if is forced. The census returns are being awaited with considerable interest, since on them the government hopes to base a redistribution bill which will give it a chance of coming back with more than a corporal's guard of members after a _general eleltion. At the present time and under pres- ent conditions, the government's case in an election would be hopeless. It would stand at best, third of the parties' in the House—and possibly if there were four groups it might tank even worse after the coon. was over. That such would be the result of an election with constitu- e•npjes limited just as at present is generally admitted, and therefore the government supporters in the House are expected to come hack with a strong demand for redistribution bill which will go a long way toward wining the farmer constituencies out of existence. Such a redistribution bill, while in, is being clamored for as the only hope of saving the Government, will serve to solidify the Opposition against the present holdersnn to office and will possibly result in Mr, Meighen find- ing himself faced in the House with a more united and determined front than ever before. It will abolish his chances of playing both ends against the _middle of the Opposition benches end result in close fights on all the important questions of next session. With this state of affairs, it is hardly likely that the Government will take action on the flood of rum- ors which are circulating and pre- pare for an early election. A man who knows he. has only a year to live does not suicide, and the government is in the same position. There must be redistribution to give the Meighen party a chance of living in Canadian politics, and redistribution means an- r.t' e .i.. session after the results of the census are known. 1 I kn not C'a m b rt tt ••c on .r, S . Ue 7: I1 is in definitely 1 the shade hale hoe:else the gnvcrnment cannot af- ford ti open seats to elect new min- i -ter,. so it set•nto that a pretty, gelid F,'cmost of the political events of the next few nnanths would be that things will go along pretty much as they are doing. with the government decided to hang on as long as it can and make the best of the kudos while such is possible. Speaker Rhodes has announced that the is through when this Parliament ends. And judging by all appear- ances he is t not the only • nne, for there will be a great scurrying for soft spots in which to land by some members of the Cabinet when the lc.ng-delayed re -organization finally takes place and the deadwood is cast aside. • JUSTIFIED ON BASIS OF DOL- LARS AND CENTS The public ovner•chip enthusiasts are endeavoring to show that if the Sutherland inquiry nn Hydro Radials costs $750,1100, that onion has been wasted. Hardly. Even should this figure not he greatly exaggerated and ,Tenn should the srtic•tne br declared sound—and that seem-; very improb- able in the 'fare of the ecidener—.the fact remains that the reductions in costs resulting from the delay will he many times the amount referred to. Sir Adam Beck's plan called for going ahead at a time when the pub- lic would have been burdened with ,contracts at the peak of the high costa --costs which no private enter- prise could rationally consider. The fact that, the Chippewa enterpeise is to cdst ber $60,000,060 as ioitifpared :$10000,000 estimate ,r-3elliid in.• 'what it "MOaW.4gr,a bige pt>g11'licntiii see eat ei et; air inflated. Bir Adam Bays he will get 500,000 borse-power at Cblppewa, instead of the 100,000 originally estimated. He has yet to prove that even.,100,000 horse -power can be produced. But even should there be 600,000 horse- power, why spend the additional $60,- 000,000 to get this. when the amount first estimated would have been quite sufficient for Ontario's needs for sane time to come. Taking Sir Adan] at his own word --$60,000,000 for 600,000 horse -power --nno private enterprise could ever have raised such a sum of money to develop power for a market which could be supplied with a fraction of the amount. Eventually there will undoubtedly be a market in Canada for all the power which can 'be de- veloped, but a successful private un- dertaking would have arranged pro- duction by units, so as to keep the overhead in proper ration. Under the circumstances, selling a big block of power into the United States looks like good business—providing always of course, that Chippewa is the suc- cess which public ownership enthus- iasts are hoping for. But this is the first time that we have heard a sug- gestion that the Chippewa project was planned to meet American needs. Altogether those who know Sir Adam's methods will have a feeling that the figures of production at Chip- pewa have been raised to correspond with the cost. The business commun- ity will look to Premier Drury to give them the real facts regarding Chip - payee's performance, both as to pro- duction and cost.—Financial Post.

Football.—The game en Thursday lust between Woodstock and Kinlbur'n was not a good exhibition of foot- ball as it rained mostly all afternoon and nearly all the time of the game. Tl,is was a new stunt for our boys, :,rad the result was a score of three to nothing, in favor of Woodstock. However, they count our boys the best team they have played against this season and if they win (the championship they want to play Kin - burn again in Seaforth. This cer- tainly shows that the boys are good sports, and we hope they may have a chance of redeeming tllemiselves sometime in the future. The team plays an exhibition game with Brus- sels in Blyth on Wednesday of this week. KiPPF.N Death of Archibald McGregor.— Last week we made brief mention of the illness of Mr. Archibald McGre- gor, little realizing that we would be called upon so soon to report his death, which took place at the Lon- don hospital on Friday, July 15th, in his 77th year. By the death of Mr. McGregor the County of Huron and the township of Tuckersmith loses an honored no td resident andr £a etnost citi- zen. The deceased 1s cd was one of the few remaining of the sturdy pioneers ,f this district, having conte with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. John McGregor, front Rothshire, Scotland. to Canada, in the year 1851, The fr,mily came direct to the Huron tracts where the father took up' 300 acres of bosh land and settled on Lot 16 on the third concession of Tuckersmith. These farms are still in the posses- .i n of descendantshe oft family, be- ing a t ing owned and occupied by three grandenns, William, James and Hugh McGregor. The deceased was the youngest member of a family of 7 sans and four daughters, only one of whom now remains, Mr. Duncan Mc- Gregor, of the 10th concession. Practically Mr. McGregor's whole life was spent on the homestead taken up by his father, as it was only two years ago that he and his esteemed partner in life came to our village to spend the evening of life together, anti en n J y the fruits of their years of labor. Mr. McGregor was married to Miss Catharine McDougall, eldest daughter of the late William Mc- Dougall. who was one of the pioneers of Tuckersmith, and spent the lat- ter years of his life in Hensel'. To this union was been a family of two sees and four daughters: John, re_ soling on the second concession of tiny ; William on the homestead, Tuckersmith; and Mrs. James Mus- tard, a mile north of the villago' on' the London Road, Stanley; Mrs. Basil C. Edwards, of the third con- cession of Hay; Miss Helen, of the public school staff, Toronto, and Miss Mae, of the Business College, To- ronto.

Mr, McGregor was all his 'life'• a strong, active man and only a abort time .ago: remarked to a friend that he bad not had a day's sickneae in forty years, and he was in active harness until within three. weeks of his death. As a husband, father, neighbor iajn i friend he will be sadly missed in the community in which his life had leen spent, and the sincerest sympathy Of all goes out to the be- reaved widow and family. The fun- eral was 'held from St. Andrew's church on .Monday last, and was very largely attended. The services were taken by the pastor, Rev. R. A. Lundy who took for his text these words: "Blessed. are the dead who die in the Lord. They rest from their labors ey abo and their works do follow them." In- terment was made in 'the family plot in Hensallakemetery, the pallbearers bedng six •nephews: -James 'Robert- son; Jamo, Horton, Hugh, Archie, James and John McGregor, and a- mong thh`d.friends from a distance who atterijed the funeral were Mr. and Mrs,• ,Snraldon, of Qranbrook; Mn's.

Notes.—Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hud- son, of M'arl'tt,', Michigan, the past week were visiting at the home of the refiner's sister, Mrs. A. Harvey in the village.

His son, Dr. Charles Alexander, of Brantford, has made frequent visits to his father and has had a number of other doctors called in consultation, and everything possible is being done to bring relief to the aged sufferer. — Another esteemed Teckersmith resident, Mr. Erick McKay, who ' for so many months has been confined to his bed, is not making the improvement his many friends would like to see.

IHENSALL Another Fire,—On Monday evening last our villagers were startled by the alarm of fire,a when it was quickly y er discovecd thatthe stable of Mr. G. C, Petty, opposite the Methodist church, and occupied 'by Messrs. Drummond and Son, treat merchants, was on fire. The flames seemed to at once shoot up in the building in a manner that 'left no chances of sav- ing it as there was a considerable quantity of hay and straw in the stows, and with quite a strong wind blowing the stable in a very few minutes after it was discovered on fire was a seething mass of flames. Our firemen were quickly on hand with the hand engine, which did goodr service as usual, and with the help of the large crowd that was soon on hand the flames were prevented from spreading to the many frame struc- tures surrounding it and it was really a marvel how these adjoining frame buildings were saved, and speaks well for the good fight that our firemen and villagers are noted for putting up. Mr. Petty, the owner of the. stable, had no insurance, but Messrs. t Drn mmond and. Son have enough h to cover their loss as' their, auto, horse and some of the contents were saved just in the nick of time. How the fire so quickly broke out something before nine o'clock issomething of a ,mystery at the present time, but no suspicions attach to Messrs. Drum- nanel and Son and on the contrary much sympathy is felt for them aq', this is the third fire that they have had to contend with in the short time they 'have been in our village, and in the two,former instances they had no insurance.
