DR T, CHISHOLM ON COLD STORAGE.
•
•
In this issue of the Advance, we
give the speech of De. Chisholm, M. P.
for lh;st Hurons nn the subject of Cold
Storage. It deals with the question
.w in an able manner, and is free from
political ,bits, showing that the mem-
ber for this riding foresees Lite advan-
tages to the farmers of Canada, to be
derived from a proper system, and is
on the alert to secure if possible its
establishment, We give below two
references to the address, from daily
papers ;—
(Toronto Mail -Empire.)
Dr. Chisholm, the member for
East Huron, has the satisfaction
of knowing that he has awakened
Mr. Sydney Fisher, the Minister
of Agriculture, to the importance
of cold storage for the transporta-
tion of the products of the farm to
the markets of the world.
(London Free Press,)
The member for East Huron,
Mr. Thomas Chisholm, spoke on
the Address on the subject of Cold
Storage for perishable products.
The speech was it: very able pres-
eutattion of the case of the eastern
farmers who cannot compete with
the west in wheat growing, and
must resort to dairy and fruit
farming, poultry raising, . etc.,
which branches of agriculture
cannot be successfully carried on
Without the modern system of
cold storage,

JAN'Y. 21VD; 1907—THE DATE.
A despatch from Toronto announces
that Ralph Connor's new story "The
Doctor" has been secured by the
Family Herald and Weekly Star of
Montreal, for exclusive newspaper
publication, This is a big surprise,
Stich :stories are seldom sold to news-
papers for months anter the book is is-
sued, but the Family Herald is in •n
position to pay the price and land the
prize. Their subscribers are to be
congratulated. It is said the opening
chapters will be published on January
2, 1907, so as to give all their subscrib-
ers ample time to renew their sub-
scriptions. In the meantime there
will be e rnsh from new subscribers,
and no wonder, foe the Family Herald
with their beantiful picture, and
Ralph Connor's story. is certainly a
dollar's worth not to be luul every
clay.

day of this week removed another of
the ogee, residents of this vicinity.
Her maiden name was Jane Brown,
and she was the relict of the late John
Fowler. The deceased had for very
many years been a resident of this

Five Deaths In Family.
Very sad indeed is the bereavement
that has come to a German family at
Dashwood, in this county. Five out
of a faintly of eight are dead as the
result of bad water. It has been As-
certained that the water was poisoned
by the decomposed bodies of dead
frogs in the well, This is another
warning to those who neglect the
cleaning of their wells. Bad water is
a fruitful source of disease.
Dr. Redmond announces that night
calls after 9.30 o'clock will be answer-
ed at his residence, corner of Patrick
and Shuter streets. -.16
At The Tannery.
Mr. Win. Gurney of Georgetown
has leased the Glove department of
Wingham tannery and will commence
work there January 1st. He already
has a traveller on the road and has
secured some large orders for 1907 de-
livery, As he is a practical glove -
maker, there appears to be no reason
why a good trade should not be des
veloped. Mr. Pt'ingle will still control
the tannery department, and continue
to pay the highest price for hides,
skins, furs, tallow, etc. The Advance
hopes to see every department as busy
a hive as in days past.

der for all interested to see that dele-
gates are' sent from each polling sub-
division. The hour announced for the

noon.

Formerly Lived Here.
It is now a settled fact that the
steamer "Jones" was lost ie the
Georgian Bay about eighteen miles
from Owen Sound, in the gale that
prevailed last week. Twenty-nine
persons wore on board and so far as
knowu alt .found a watery grave,
within sight of land. Her next port
of call with passengers and freight
was to have been Lion's Head, hut
she never reached it. Parts of her
wreckage have been found, leaving no
doubt as to her fate. Among the
crew was Wesley Sadier, second engi-
neer, and Frank .Jackson, son and son-
in-law, respectively, of Jonathan Sad-
ler, formerly of Wingham. The
Jones was said to be a staunch little
steamer, but the awfnl raging of'the
waves was too much for the little
craft, and all on board most have
perished almost or quite within sight
of the port to which they were
bound.

Two Weeks' Weather.
Of course, there will . probably be
"weather" of some kind away and be-
vyonde
and the nest two week but lest
e forget," we give (according gt . ( c ing to
Prof. Hicks) an outline of what may
be expected for the first=half of De-
cember. The month opened with a
storm period central frorn 2nd to 4th,
Rain in some places will turn to snow
in northern and western sections, fol-
lowed by high, cold winds from the
northwest. This cold wave will cover
the country from 3rd to Oth. An an-
nual electrical crisis occurs from 8th
to 15th; besides, the Moon is at last
quarter, on 8tb, and on celestial equa-
tor on 10th ; from 10th to 15th, the
south pole of the earth presents its
smallest angle to the sun. Hence the
earth takes on a full supply of positive
electricity at one polo, and this causes
abundance of negative forces in the
northern or opposite hemisphere.
Therefore from 8th to kith, there are
likely to he disturbances, eleetrtc cute
rents, shakes and storms, central on
the 11th. A regular storm period is
central on the 13th, covering from
12th to 160. This will be ono of, if
not the roost $.etive storms of Decemn-
her, Bliszarlous storms of sleet and
snow with high gales will set in by
the 13th from the west. Be prepared
for severe winter Morin and Inc u

ing, say by IOth,

The New Postoffice.
Finishing touches are being put on
the interior of the new postoffice
building, and Postmaster Fisher ex-
pects to occupy it before long. To
move in, get accustomed to new sur-
roundings, locating lock -boxes, draw-
ers and their numbers, etc., will re-
quire patience as well as toil, on the
part of the obliging lady clerks, More
especially will this he true as the holi-
day rush is at hand, and if removal
occurs before Christmas, the task will
be trying indeed: This should be tak-
en into consideration by patrons of
the office, and should the removal
take place within the next two or
three weeks, the public should exer-
cise patience with the clerks, until
they become familiar with the new
gimbals, location of boxes, etc. We
are sure the young ladies will do their
very best to servo the public, under
what may (for a time) be difficult cir-
cumstances.
We made an immense contract with
Santa Claus for all kinds of Christmas

A Lady Lecturer.
Mrs. Leonidas Hubbard. jr., the in-
trepid explorer of Labrador, is visit-
ing her sister, Mts. W. 'H. Cruik-
shank, of Lower Wingham. Her visit.
to our town recalls the sad death of
her husband, who lost his life, while
on a journey of exploration in that
north land, and in a brave effort to
traverse and map the courses of two
large rivers, the Northwest River,
draining Lake 31ichikainatl, and
George River, draining the northern
slope of the country to Ungava Bay.
Me. Hubbard was misled by infortna-
iron given him, and
by
former
maps,
,
and taking the wrong stream was lost
in the innumerable lakes of Labrador.
He and- his party began a retreat, but
before they reached the borders of
civilization, Mr. Hubbard succumbed
to,the headships and privations of the
trip, for provisions having given oat,
it is feared he suffered for food in his
last hours. Int 1905, Mrs. Hubbard
bravely undertook to complete the
work, in the prosecution of which her
husband had sacrificed his life. She
went to Labrador, and reaching
Northwest River Po 't
s
, she com-
menced the dangerous journey from
there on June 27, 1905, with four
guides, two canoes and 717;0 lbs. of pro-
visions. One of the guides was Bison,
who had suceeeded in recovering Mr.
Hubberd's body and
his records
of ex-
ploration. Thootn'ne was one
t iisotne travel by canoe over lakes,
rivet's and portages. That northern,
country is said to have thousands of
lakes that bewilder the explorer.
Mrs. Hubbard succeeded in her work;
she travelled up the Naseanpee River
to Lake bliehikatnan, and traced the
George River to Ungava Ilay, where a
tide of fifty feet prevails. At •one
point of her journey, during August,
she met with as wall of ice several feet
in thickness, thnt the summer snit had
failed to melt. In a bulletin of the
American Geogratphical Society, Mrs,.
Hubbard gives an interesting account
of her trip through the uninhabited
country traversed. She has lately
been on a lecturing tour, and spoke
quite recently in McMaster Universi-
ty, Toronto. ' She illustrates her
leeture with views from photographs-
taken
hotographstaken by herself, while on her adven-
turous journey.

REV. W. G. iIOWSON,
The above portrait is that of the
present pastor of Wingham Methodist
Church, who began his labors here in
July last.
Mr. Howson was born in Lancaster,
England, and when only three weeks
old, was bereft of his mother He
conies of good stock, for among his
ancestor's was Rev. Dr, Howson, Dean
of Chester Cathedral, England. His
early training, however, was under
Methodistic influences, and while very
young he decided to live the Christian
life. At seventeen, he began to preach
and was known as the boy preacher.
When 20 years of age he was brought
to Canada by the late Rev. Morley
Punshon, who foresaw for the "boy
preacher" a field of usefulness in
Canada. Mr. Howson was ordained
in 1876, Rev. Dr. Wood being Presi-
dent that year. His family consists,
besides himself and Mrs. Howson, of
four daughters and an adopted son.
The, second daughter is a Deaconess
and is preparing for Mission work in
the foreign field.
Mr. Howson is recognized as one of
the best preachers in the London Con-
ference, and has filled many impor-
tant stations. He is eloquent, earnest
and sympathetic, and his serrhous
have usually a strong evangelistic ten-
dency. Since his coming to. Wing -
ham, the congregation has considera-
bly increased, and the work is pros-
pering. He is a faithful worker, and
his pastoral visitations are encourag-
ing and helpful. He has won for him-
self a warm place in the affections of
his congregation, and in the esteem of
the general public.
