The town hall was packea with men and wonten on Monday afternoon at the North Huron United Farmers' Convention. The chair was taken. by elle president Wm. Rutherford' of West Wawanosh aud Clayton' Proetoit acted as secretary. The speakers ac- cupyiug seats on the platform were Robt. McMillian, Seaforth and Mr. Sautiners of Rooster. The delegates Present were as follows: Tarnberry 21, morris 2'?, Best Walv.anosh 15, ,West Wa,wanosla 31, Aehliele 36, Wroxeter 4, Howick 36, Grey 39, Col- borne 28, and the executive of 18 made a total a 25.5. The nominating of candidates for Ontario purposes resulted in the fol- lowing being named, William Shortreed, Morris. Murdock Matheson, Ashileld. Thomas G. Shearer, Howic'k. W. H. Fraser, M. P. r„ Morris, Mrs. Richard MeWhintiey, Ashget Clayton Proctor, Morris, Each candidate was allowed five minutes and all retired but Claytoo Proctor and W. H. Fraser. Mr. Fraser saiki he always was a strong U. P. 0. man and had, during his term as Liberal member for North Huron, stood by the farmer On mob and every opportunity. He explain- ed.,that as a Liberal member he thought 1u3 could be more beneficial to the farmer's cause. Out of the 111 seats he said 22 were city consti- tuencies in which there was no pos- sibility of a U, P. 0, being elected and 45 were rural constituencies in which large towns were situated and the odds would be egtanSt the 11. P. 0 in these ridings. He prophesied that not more than a dozen straight U, P. 0., or third party men would be elected in the province. He said one of the two U. P, 0. members in the house last session only voted once during the entire session. Several of Mr. Fraser's supporters were of the same opinion that he was, that as a member of the 1.1, F. 0, and serV- lug the farmers as best he could for one session he should not now be turned down. Mrs. Whinney is a neat address stated that she wished to retire. She said that she had no fault to find with the governments of the past, the fact that the farmerswere not -rep- resented was the fault of no one but themselves. Mr. Proctor said he was different to Mr, Fraser because he was just beginning his political career and doing so in the U. F. 0. He would be pleased to be their provincial rep- resentative and urged that tltey all stand together and elect a man of their own. Chairman Rutherford refused to have a ballot cast, that only two of the candidates had not withdrawn, but took the stand that Mr. Fraser, being the Liberal member, could not qualify to be the U. P. 0. candidate, he there- foro declare(' Mr. Proctor the choice of the convention. Mr. Sheldon Breaker, president of the Liberals of North Bruce, asked to be allowed to say a few words but was refused. • The nominations .for candidates for the Dominion political field was at once called for and resulted in the following names being placed before the convention: John B. Graham, Ashfield. Wm. Kernahan, Colborne. W. 3, Shortreed, Morris. John. W. King, Tu,rnberry, Gordon 'Young, Colborne. Frank Johnston, Ashfield. John N. MacKenzie, Ashileld.' Jobn Parrish, Ashfield. S. N. Lamb, Colborne. Robt. Livingstone, Grey. Messrs King, Iternahan and Short - reed' allowed their names to go to the convention as did also the names of John N.-11/1eKenzie and Robert Liv- ingstone who were not present. Mr. King was the choice of the meeting on the fourth ballot. The first'vote was King 77, Kernahan 61, Shortreed, 58, Mackenzie 26, and Livingstone 19. The second ballot: King 89, Kerns:, ham. 78, Shortreed 05, and MaeKenzie 8. The third ballot: King 111, 1Cernahan 75, Shortreed 48, Mr. Shortreed withdrew, and the vote stood: King 148, Kernahan 88. Mr. King was declared the choice and made an appropriate reply thanking' the delegates and assuring them that; he would do his utmost to advance the interests of the farmers as a.bodet. In the course of his remarks- Mr Shortreed jocularly toad he did not care if the delegates chose hina or not as he had a good home to go to. Mr. Gordon Young told the audience that in his Opinion the country need- ed two parties attd as he was at pres- ent affiliated to one party he could not -qualify. Mr. Lamb said he .felt a great beam of joy because of his name being one of those brought be- fore their convention, but the swelling on his head would doubtless soon. disappear and be believed it Would be best for him to return to his job on the farm as it was a permanent One.

Promptly ot 3.30 to the strains of Lohengrin's bridal chorus played by Mis M Beecroft of Kincardine, the bride entered the Church leaning on the arm of her father and looked very pretty in o gown of whiter jersey silk with over dress of georgette and pearl trimming wearing the customary veil of silk ems droalered net and carried a boquet of pink and witiM asters and maiden hair fern. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. P. Jamieson of St. Helens, and dun. ing the signing of the register Mrs. James Menzies, aunt of the groom, sang "A Per- fect Day" after the ceremony the bridal party and guests numbering about seven. ty left the church, amid showers of con- fetti for the bride's home where they per - took of a sumptuous wedding dinner. The groom's gifts to the bride was a gold pendant set with amethysts, eci the organ- ist a cameo broach, to Mrs. Menziee a pearl crescent, and to the ushers each a pair of gold cuff links.

Meeee of Sightsteorit and Threes Year -Old Is Still Growing Accustomed as they are to the sight cattle of unusual proportions, the eyes the men at the Toronto stock yards a going to bulb with astonishment one these days when Charlie Stewart, of As field Township, Huron County; marke the three-year-old steer that has been a Greeting so much attention in this part the country for some time. This- anima if his reputed weight be correct, is solo where near twice the weight of the ave age fat steer of his age, and while no offIc ial figures on this point are available, the steer certainly looks to be what is claimed for him Bred from a little Durham cow with no particular good points and sired by a shorthorn bull of ordinary class, the big steer can lay no claim to lineage which predisposes beef proportions, but the feet remains that he did well as a calf and without any particular advantages he kept on growing. He is said to tip the scales now at about 2,800 pounds. Years ago a Texas steer came through this part of the country and farmers and others paid honest dimes to be admitted to his show tent to see him. I3ut he only weighed 2,200 and it was claimed for him then that he was one of the biggest on earth. It is also stated that the record now existing for a steer is 3,000 pounds, but where this reecod is held is a bit un- certain, At any rate, the Stewart animal is not through growing yet and records mean nothing to him. The Stewart farm on the Lake Shore road is the mecca of sightsteers in that -part of the country. There are few farm- ers in Huron or Ashfle'd townships who have not made a trip to see Charlie • Stew art's steer in the last year or so, and there are pone. who having once seen him are inclined to doubt any statements that may have been made as to his weight. Coming along the highway the first ob- ject around the farm that becomes visible is the steer, and he dominates the lands cape. Perhaps he is feedidg along the pastures ridge, and you get a side view. You are inclined to believe that his weight might be easily a ton. Then he veers around, still feeding, so that you get a view of his front elevation. You instantly add half a ton to your estimate. He is as broad as a smell load of hay, He turns around. His Proportions here are those of a Dutch man-of-war. And still with his massive head to the he walks gently along, not at all embarrassed by a ton and a half of porterhouse and T-bone, Now, what brought this animal to his present weight? Certainly not special feeding, For three months, like the aver- age calf he got milk, and after that he got none, He thrived on whatever came his way, though, 'and presently he was big enough to break through a fence to get at the particular variety of foliage he desired. He was inclined to feed alone when on pasture, but when in an enclo- sure he took pot luck with the rest and has always been gentle and manageable and inclined to be quite sociable with smaller calves. Alfalfa or straw are all the same to this steer. He seems to do equally well on them and never seems to question the matter of his diet, In the words of one farmer who has been serval times to see him, he is "a good doer," Just by chance he was not sold to the butcher when younger. Later his owner did not want to sell him, thinking he might show him profitably. However the exhibitions do not produce a class for stich as him, and there would seem to he no way of commercializing the -avoirdu- pois of the big animal without putting him in a sideshow or sacrificing him on the butcher's block. His fate may yet be decided, otherwise, somebody with a desire to cater to public curiosity may get him, and then all .wil have a chano to see him. The big steer is apparently a freak. If he is not, and the formula for gettin g similar animals can be obtained, the beef production business is revolutionized, If Mr Stewart can provide a recipe for producing such steers, he will be able to lay claim to fame of no uncertain variety. He will be the Luther Burbank of animal husbandry. An effort will be made to have this steer shown at the Wingham Fall Fair, Oct 8th and 9th, THE DEATH ROLL Hearer Hammon:ea There passed away at his home in Lower Wingnem, on Friday, Sept. 5th., Henry Hawthorne, in his 74th. year.

Dear Sir: In my last communication to you I promised to write mare later and give you a few facts with reference to the great Province o British Columbia. It was certainla n buge undertaking when the C. P. R undertook to build a railroad through that sea of mountains, but when man undertakes any great enterprise na- ture invariably comes to his relief as in this case. The railroad follows water courses right through to the coast. in a great many cases having to tunnel throtighs the foot of a mountain, in one case the tunnel being five miles long. The area of British Columbia is greater than the three states of Washington, Ore- gan and California combined, so we have an immense territory to ,develop, rich in coal mid, iron mines, forests and timber of commercial value which can scarcely be estimated. Tier waters teaming with fish of great commercial value, and last but not least, her great possibilities in agricul- • ture, fruit growing and stock reising, as iser many valleys are especially adaptesi to these enterprises. The Grand Trunk Pacific has opened up large valleys at present undeveloped, in the central part of the province; capable of great production in the near future. I might Mention Chilliwack Valley which is situated on the south shore of the Fraser river about seventy miles east of Vancouver. Bounded on the south by a range of mountains the highest of which is Mt. Cheam, nine thousand feet high, the peak being covered the year round with. i mantle of pow. This valley is said to be composed of the most fertile soil in the Dominion of Canada. The principal industries at present are dairy ing and poultry farming, the latter assum- ing great proportions. A large portion of tlse settlers of this valley are retired farmers from the prairie provinces, who in, their declining years seek a more congenial clime and they live comfortably on a five or ten acre farrn with beautiful surroundings.' The area of this little valley is from 5 to 8 miles wide and 15 miles long Lying along the south shore of the, Fraser be- tween Chilliwack and 'Vancouver in a farming community of somewhat less fer- tility, but, nevertheless the home of many happy and prosperous people. The north side of the Fraser river is not so wide and consequently not so thickly populated and not so well developed. The C. P. R. running on that side of the riv- er. The tenth side of the river is now well served with railways, The Canadian Na tional main line and the Great Noethern traversing its entire length and the B. C. Electric running out from Vancouver to the city of Chilliwack, -Over which four trains run each way daily. More later. P. ,j. Cantelon. THE SPEED FIEND. (With apologies to Walt. Mason) Some men who drive a motor car are reckless of their speed and race around the streets as though they followed Gilpin's steed. They care nought for the rights of men, nor laws of speed or rules but seem to think that those who walk are classed among the fools. Perchance a 'corner they would turn -no out-streched hand you'll find to warn the p iker on the road - 'Gosh ding it. Is he blind?" They whistle as they blithely spin along their merry way and curse the traffic COp in blue who dares to say them nay. Some day a has* will occur, and from the wreckage stacked a gink all covered o'er with gore will gently be unpacked. For damages he'll file a suit, and counsel he'll procure to argue he'd a right to live and walk the streets se- cure. The bill of costs against the town the judge will then unload will leave a cherished (?) rnonurnent to speed -fiends of the road. Now motorists who crave with care, the moral's plain as day; why tolerate the reckless wight who cares not who he'd slay. These ultra-Jehus should be canned; their cars in storage put, and they should always more be forced the streets to walk on foot. eft......f.f,fitrtettttettfittittaver. Cioderich Fair Next Week.

Commencing with a formal Luncheon in the Wisteria Room of the Carls-Rite Hotel, they embarked on the Canada Steamship Line's pleasure steamer "Kingston" and proceed via Ro- chester and Kingston to Alexandria Bay. The scenery on the St. Lawrence River, studded with lovely islands was very much enjoyed. breakfast and Luncheon were served at the Thousand Islands House at Alexandria Bay. One of the main attractions was a two and a half hour motor launch trip arotuld a number of the Islands. The scenery might well be called the Venice of America, where nature is at its best.
