Dominion Government assistant.medical
superintendent of the Sanitoriuni atBanff, •
N.W.T., the new health and summer re-
sort established by the . Dominion Gov-
ernment on the main line of the Canada
Pacific Railway in, the rookies. This
place, owing to its health giving quali-
ties, and the grandeur and beauty of
the scenery is rapidly becoming one of
the most popular health and summer re-
• sorts on the American continent. The
• doctor will also have medical superin-
tendence of the Anthracite mines and a
section of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way. The appointmengromapecuniary
point of view, is a most desirable one,
and we have pleasure in congratulating4
the doctor on his good fortune in secur-
ing, it, and we are sure that his high
medical skill will enable him to perform
the duties pertaining to the position
with credit to himself and benefit to,
those who may be under his profession=
al care, while his genial, affable man--
ner, will snake him a universal, favorite
with all with Whom he may come in con
tact. The doctor will leave here to resume
the duties of. his new.position about the
15th of May.
THE STOCK FAIR. ----The stock fair,
under the auspieesof the Tuekersmith
Agricultural Society, was held in Sea -
forth on Tuesday last. The weather
_ was delightful, being a genuine spring
. day.There was a good crowd of peo-
ple in town and there must have been
as many as fifty horses of all kinds, be-
sides several. bulls. Many of the horses,
both light and heavy were among ths.
best bathe county. They were shown
on the Market Square instead of on the
AgricuItirrai Grounds. This Was a
mistake, as there was not room enough
to show the animals to advantage.
• There was no judging done and no
• prizes awarded, but: the merits of the
I .-...
• several animals ware pretty thoroughly
canvassec, by the on -lookers, most of
whom seemedto be deeply interested.
This is the first time a show of this i 'kind
has been old in this district, although
similar shows are annually held in many
of the stock raising sections of 'the
United States, and whether or not it
has been 4 success will, no doubt, be a
matter of opinion. The number oUpeo-
ple present, and the number and char-
acter of the animals shown'however,
would seem to indicate that the first
attempt hairnet been a failure and that
it would be worth while trying again.
The excitement incident t to the award-
ing and receiviniof prizes ie, of course,
absent, but so also are the dissatisfae-
tion and Jealousy so often 'manifested
atthe regular shows. We believe also'
that considerable ordinary stock
changed bands.

tors' reports as evidence.that the money
i
was all. nvested and the following year
they found it was not. The treasurer
states that heWas instructed to receive
part of the principal at any time, and I
• understand some of the old council state
the same. The present council did not
understand he was 'to I take it, but on
looking over the minutes closely, for the
purposeof making things elear,1 find
in September, 1886, that he was author-
ized to take sums of $100 or over on
atirmortgage. But the minutes only
show part, of the council doings, the rest
was retained in their memories. In
looking for this motion, I find in Oc-
tober 81st, 1887, Joseph Evans received
$5 for pay of road to grave'. pit for that
year, and the auditors' report for
1888 shows that he received on the 17th
of September, 1-888; $10 for road to
gravel pit for 1887 and 1888, but the
minutes do not show that he received
any. Hoping that all will rest satis-
fied that the council have done as well'
AS they. could in the past for the best
interest of' the ratepayers, and will try
and do better in the future, and I would
advise all to.keep their powder dry un-

This question has been icbone of donten-
tion in the township for some' time, and
it would be in the 'interest; of education
in the township to have it definitely set-
tled either one WaST or the other. s . If his
vote is in favor- of continuing the town-

should gracefully bow to the will of,the

the system work as well as possible, ,land
if the ratepayers decide in the oppqsite

quested all mortgages and „books to be

to know the financial . position Of i the

should show it, but they do not appear
to have done so to some people's minds.
