KNOX cap• t +itsrzhtim et■1 Watchmaker, Jeweler and Stationer OODERiCII BOOMING, Contracts are being let by the Cana- dian Pacific Railway for the reclaim- ing of several acres of Lake Huron, and the subsequent construction of hundreds of feet of dock room for a line of boats between Goderich and Fort William, A huge elevator will be erected on the docks, which will be located immediately south of the low- er breakwater forming part of the en- trance to this port. The new dock will be the terminal point for the Guelph-Goderieh branch of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, and will be the leading transhipping point on the great lakes controlled by the railroad. The road will establish a line of steam- ers similar to that running into Owen Sound, The local port, the new road connecting Goderich with Atlantic ports by wey of Ginelph, and the line of steamers to fort William are scheduled to be in active operation within a year. The construction of the road be- tween Goderich and Guelph has been progressing for the past year. The line le already in operation from Guelph west to Elmira. From the latter point to Goderich the track -bed has been practically finished. The contractors are now awaiting the ar- rival of steel for a number of large bridges which .are required to gulf the valleys and streams along the new line, The work of the new road in enter- ing Goderich has been a gigantic en- gineering feat. A monster, bridge is in the course of completion across the Maitland River and Valley. It will be the largest bridge itt Ontario when finished. Half way up the bluff form- ing the north and west boundaries of the town, with an elevation of 200 feet on one side and a drop of 100 feet on the river side the new road winds its way from the south pier to the new bridge. Immense concrete blocks sup- port this bridge hand on the north side of the Maitland Valley the: line con- tinues east, In order to even the grade nearly a mile and a half of the embankment have been moved toward the river. Millions of tons of earth have been shifted and the view from the south side gives it the appearance of an earthquake. As the result of the C. P. R. plans in Goderich the population is increas- ing rapidly and new homes are spring- ing up everywhere, and the whole situation indicates that Goderich is in the early stages of a substantial boom. SAVING SHIPS BY WIRELESS. Not long ago a large freighter be- came disabled in the Gulf of Mexico. She was egnipped with wireless teleg- raphy apparatus ; so instead of hoist- ing distress signals to flap idly in the old way the captain: began to send out wireless messages in all directions. "We are disabled and need help" he said, giving the location of the ship. Soon there was a sputtering among the receiving instruments of the dis- abled vessel. Word was received from a distant vessel that the appeal had been heard and help was coming. The wireless telegraph has .come to the aid of the mariner to a remarkable degree. Take the case of the whale - back steamer, City of Everett, towing a barge of oil from Sabine Bar, Texas, to New York, The steel door of a for- ward turret was torn off by the sea, a compartment was flooded, and the ship became unmanageable. She was then about 150 miles from Port Ar- thur, Texas. From the wireless chart showing the routes of the Gulf vessels the captain saw that the ships Col. E. L. Drake and Maverick . were about due at Port Arthur. He sought to locate them by wireless. The mes- sage, however, was answered by the Captain H. F. Lucas which was fifty miles distant. The Everett communi- cated her position, the Lucas did like- wise, and they kept in communication until sighted. The disabled ship was then towed to the shelter of Ship Shoal where she was repaired and en- abled to proceed with her tow. One day the Atlantic DeForest wire- less operator at Manhattan Beach was advised that the steamer Winifred was ashore somewhere off Marcus Rock on the central Atlantic Coast. The operator learned from his charts that the steamer Larmier was near that point, so he sent the captain this message : "Steamer Winifred ashore somewhere off Marcus Rock. See if you can give her a pull. Tugboat and lighter will be there at high water. Answer." In four hours he had a re- ply from the captain, saying that he was trying to ,pull off the stranded ship. BURDENS OF RUSSIA. THE SCHOOL POR THE BLiND AT BRANTFORD, To the Editor of The Advance. Dear Sir :-I ask your assistance to enable me to get into communication with the parents or guardians of all the blind children in Ontario, under the age of twenty-one years. The in- stitution for the Education and In- struction of the Blind, maintained by the Ontario Legislature, admits as pupils "all blind. youths, of both sexes, between the age of seven and twenty- one, not being deficient in intellect, and free from disease or physical in - inanity, being residents of the Pro- vince of Ontario," It is not necessary that the applicant shall be totally blind ; the test is inability to "read ordinary type and attend a school for the seeing without serious injury to the sight." The initial difficulty is to locate the children who are eligible for admission, and it will be helpful in the future if your readers will send me the names and addresses of blind. children under seven, as well as of those between 7 and 21. Should you favor me by the publica- tion of this letter, I would ask your readers not to depend upon the parents of the children with defective sight to attend to this matter. If all could witness the gain in health, hap- piness, knowledge and self-reliance that conies to those who, deprived by their affliction of access to the public schools, take advantage of the educa- tional facilities afforded by this Insti- tution, none would grudge the time and trouble required to widen the scope of the school's influence. Send the the names and addresses, and I will by correspondence or visitation do the rest. H. F. Gardiner, Principal I. 0. B. BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. If you've a tender message or a loving word to say, Don't wait till you forget it, but whis- per it to -day. We live but in the present, the future is unknown - To -morrow is a mystery, to -day is all our own. The tender words unspoken, the letter never sent. The long -forgotten messages, the wealth of love unspent - For these some hearts are breaking, for these some loved ones wait - So show them that you care for them before it is too late.

TEACHERS' SALARIES, There appears to boa difference of opinion as to when the new Act refer- ring to. Teachers' salaries, really takes effect, We give below .three ex- tracts showing this difference, (Clinton New Era) On the strength of information sup- plied by two parties prominent in educational interests, the New Era has been stating that the new School Act went into operation at once, and applied to engagements of teachers made for the fall term, Inspector Tom says this is not correct, that the new act does not go into operation un- til the 1st of January next. (Mitchell Advocate) We have freqnently been asked if Mr. Whitney's new provisions relat- ing to school teachers' salaries became law. Yes, they were passed in the House on the 14th day of May, and there is one provision that should not be overlooked. Teachers making en- gagements must do so under the pro- visions of the Act, and if they engage at a lower salary than the assessment of their section justifies, the inspector is compelled to suspend their certifi- cate. This applies to teachers who make engagements for the balance of this year also. (Walkerton Telescope) The trustees of the Dunkeld school in the month of May this year, engag- ed a teacher for a year, his duties to begin after the summer holidays. Since then the new school law was passed taking the matter of salaries out of the hands of the trustees. By the new law, this teacher would re- ceive a good deal higher salary than he had contracted for with the trus- tees. The question which has been bothering the Dunkeld trustees is, can they compel the teacher, if they desire to do so, to accept the salary mention- ed in the contract, or will he be able to demand what he would be entitled to under the new law. We understand that one of our lawyers has advised them that they will have to pay the increased allowance, Teeswater. The first wheat cutting of the sea- son in this Locality was done on Satur- day on the farm of Mr. David Ritchie, 5th con. Mr. Win. G. King, of Preston, spent the past week in Culross, having come up to arrange for the funeral of his mother, which took place on Satur- day to the Teeswater R. C. ceme- tery. Mr. Owen King, a former resident of the 3rd con. west, now of Calgary, Alta., is renewing old acquaintances here. He came east with the body of bis mother, who died on Monday of last week at Calgary. Mr, Joe Rivers met with a painful accident while at work in The W. R. Thompson Co's. saw mill on Friday. The middle finger of his left hand came in contact with the shingle edg- ing saw and an ugly gash was the re- sult. S. H. Johnston, V.

Dr. JohnstonY Cul- ross r is one of the man ul- ross boys who have taken Horace Greely's advice, gone west and grew up with the country. He went to Uncle Sam's country about 20 years ago and has long been a citizen of the Republic. The funeral from the R. C. Church here last Saturday, was in connection with the burial of Mrs. M. King, a former resident of the 3rd con. of Cul- ross. Mrs. King died on Monday, the Otlt inst., at Calgary, Alberta, after about three weeks' illness. She was aged 77 years and died of a general wearing ont of the constitution.

Yon catch a little cold to -day, by to- morrow it has reached the throat, next day the lungs are affected and yon wished you had used Catarrho- zone which kills colds in five minutes. In the first place Catarrhozone soothes the irritated rnembranes and relieves congestion, -then it cuts out the phlegm and destroys the germs. It enables the blood to retain a natur- al supply of oxygen, lung -food, and vitality. In any cough, bronchitis or lung affection it's guaranteed to posi- tively curd. Decline any substitute for Catarrhozone. KEEP THEM OUT. The common house fly is a carrier of germs of disease. The origin and habits of the fly are such as to put us on our guard. It lays its eggs in ex- crement, preferring horse manure, but if that does not offer, readily us- ing any other. It feeds on the sante and on the sputum of diseased throats and lungs, on refuse of all kinds, and it bears on its hairy feet and legs particles of these substances. Unlike the mosquito, the house fly is not a biter -but it has its own way of carrying contagion. It deposits, wherever it goes, disease ; and disease germs may abound in its breeding and feeding places. On the joint of neat exposed for sale by the butcher, on the bread and sweetmeats of the con- fectioner's counter, on the edge of the milk pail, on the kitchen and dining - room tables, they have been found. The epidemic of typhoid fever in Chicago in 1902 fixed guilt on the fly. It was especially severe in the nineteenth ward, which furnished one-seventh of the deaths, while con- taining but one -thirty-sixth of the city's population. This locality dict not differ from the rest of the city in its water or its foods supply, but it did differ in having more than fifty per cent. of its houses without sani- tary plumbing, the water being in- sufficient. Flies caught in undrained closets, on the fences, and in the room of a patient were proved to carry the genu. Reduced A Hard Swelling. r from • t - Mr. Gus E.

So if you wish the hest Manitoba Flour, be sure and get the "FIVE LILIES" Don't be put oil' with any other. If your dealer does not keep it, there are plenty of others who do.
