P. for last Hur- on, the Dominion Government has at lair•t wade a move lit, the direction of providing Cold Storage for farm pro- ducts. Hon. Mr, Fisher, Minister of Agri- culture, introduced. the Bili, which sets aside $100,000 for Cnld Storage purposes. iliac. Fisher said that the government assistance proposed con- templated cold storage when private enterprise might not be profitable, and the goveratuent proposed to ensure the capital invested. 'I,'he govern- tnent thought it shoula encourage the investor to tide over the few years during whiclt the enterprise *night be unprofitable, It also thought it should take a share in and try to aid that private enterprise, Ia addition the government would reenire the con- trol of rates in these cold storage warehouses. It was not the desire to compete with existing Bold storage facilities, difficult as that was, The location and capacity of the ware - hoose must be subject to the depart- ment, and there would be a govern- mental inspeetion, Mr. Fisher thought that govern. anent assistance should be ten per cent. on the completion of the build- ing and five per cent, per annum for each of the succeeding four years, making altogether an aid of thirty per cent. on the total cost. The minister could not say how he could guarantee. the continuance of the enterprise af- ter the expiration of the four years. Dr. Chisholm, M. P. for East Huron, seized the opportunity of speaking again on the subject, in which he has taken so much interest, His address was as follows t --- Mr, Speaker, the question is, do we require a system of cold storage, oe do we not? We have never had a system of cold storage yet and I think a geeat many of the arguments that have been put forth to -day only gd to prove that we need a system, A few scat- tered, isolated attempts at cold stor- age is not a system of cold storage. A few storage warehouses is not a system of cold storage. What the minister is proposing now is a system, a continued system. In the speech which I had the honour of delivering a few days ago in regard to this mat- ter I said that we required a single chain from the hands of the producer to the table of the consumer. The strength of achain is the strength of its weakest link and a chain' is of no use if any of its links are lacking. The only fault I have to find with the proposed system is that it is not com- plete ; there seem to be links lacking but no doubt they can be supplied. The government must provide these links. Cold storage warehouses must be provided at terminal points in Canada such as Winnipeg, Calgary, &c„ and at the seaports both in Can- ada and in Europe, or the systern will be a failure. I do not know whether or not the politicians of this country want a system of cold storage, but I do know that the farmers of this country require a system of eold stor- age and I believe that those farmers will resent any attempt to block an effort to give them this system of cold storage. They are suffering and we know they are suffering. I can ap- preciate what the minister (Mr. Fish- er) has said very well. I can under- stand that he feels that the sentiment of the country is scarcely educated up to the point of thoroughly under- standing what can be clone. The far- mers are well aware that they are suffering an immense loss at the pres- ent bane, that they are losing thous- ands of dollars every year. They look to the minister (Mr. Fisher) and to the government to remedy this evil and I am pleased indeed to see that an at- tempt is being made to remedy it. I think the minister (Mr. Fisher) is hon- estly trying to prevent a monopoly and that is the great advantage 1 see in this proposal. I think be is honest- ly trying, to prevent a monopoly and that he is putting the fanners in a position to help themselves and thus to be masters of the situation. If this system of cold storage got into the hands of monopolists the farmers might be squeezed just as the monopo- lists chose. The farmers of the Niagara Penin- sula and southern and south-western Ontario are the ones most particularly interested in this matter. I feel satis- fied that if the farmers of these dis- tricts had a thorough and complete system of cold storage, they could divide their hundred acre farms among their sons and have thezn all comfortably settled around them, on fruit fauns, and know that they were as comfortable and wealthy and. pros- perous as if they went to the North- west and got 610 acres of land or a whole section, (Mx. Fisher—Hear, hear.) Dr. Chisholm' continued—There is no doubt also that if we bad this cold storage, a system of trolley lines would grow up radiating from these centres in every direction. I shall give you an idea of what is being done in the United States. This is no new experiment. We know that experi- ments are always expensive and liable to be failures, that is why the govern- ment is requested to make oxperi= inents, we expect them to make ex- periments and we e:.pect them to lose money beeause the individual farmers cannot afford to do it. I have hero a. little extract from a newspaper showing the way in which they are doing these things on the other side :--- "The trolley has been so widely extended through the Michigan ftuit belt that in some places a picker can step front the ladder used in pieking the fruit to the electric cars on which it is loaded," We must understand that trolley ears will carry fruit more quickly, more cheaply and further with less bruising than waggons or any other system, "Not only is the service thus brought to the door of the grower. but it is a cheap service. From points on ono line which overlooks St. Joseph's river, a fifth bushel of peaches is carried to Benton hare hour and shipped across the lake to Chicago by the Graham and Morton steamer line for 24 cents. Of this the electric line take's 40 per cent., while the steetner peo. plc got sixty. Regular fruit ex - proses trains are run, the train eon• slating of one or more box -cars, the entire crew of which is the conductor and motorman, and these men loam the stuff into the cars. Fruit picked and packed ti to Mx o'clock in the evening is in (hlcagnt, before daylight the next morning. Thease electric fruit trains, tiro- New York "i`ribtvnc..

The very spray that rises from Niagara Vale, the tear's that the great cataract is shedding over what the ferment of this district are losing, if they were eondeused would cool the fruit of acres and of square utiles Its that locality. Another thing, if ship -loads of the fruits than are raised in our beautiful country, our grapes, peaches, peers, pluses and apples, would go to the old country they would be the best immi- gration agents that ever went there, they would be better than Stuart and Preston and Jut•y, for when the people of that country saw and tasted those fruits, they would feel like emigrating to the country in which they can be raised in such perfection and abun- dance. I hope the impression will not go abroad that" there ate many in this linnets who are opposed to the present iueestire, because I feel something like a good old Scotch Conservative far - aver, whom. I met just before I came away. I was talking to hire about tide matter of cold storage, and when I was through I asked Itis opinion about it. "Mon," he said, "it's gran'. It's juist gran'. But dinna ye gee loon tae th' hoose and tell Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier aboot it. Far if ye date an he adopts this system ocould storage that ye lite bean talkin' aboot, he'll be sae poplar wi' the fairmer yell never get him not." I told him that Sir Wilfred Laurier looked just like a man who would stay where he was for a long time ; that we were trying very hard to get him out, but that we could scarcely afford to do without cold storage until the arrival of that happy day. Ile said, "Weel, weel mebbe ye're richt. But if Sir Wilfrid has na gumption enough tae tak up this question, then tell Moister Bor- den frae me that if ho talcs it np irz the next election and maks it the battle cry o' the Conservative pairty, he'll sweep the country." • ' W.

That business he was forced to give up owing to ill -health. In the Culross Municipal situation a good deal of interest is manifested. A present member of the Council sizes up matters as follows : Reeve Donaldson is a candidate for re-elec- tion, and all present councillors will stand for their respective positions. Yet there is talk of opposition for the reeveship and for councillorships. Either Ed. at John Kuntz is Likely to try for the position of reeve ; but there appears to be some indecision as to which will come out. .4. • a Lucknow. Mr. S.
