—With all the noise on the Pacific
coast about the influx of Japs, it is
rather strange that the first child to
be born at Prince Rupert, the termi-
nus of the Grand Trunk Pacific, was a
Japanese girl baby. Her birthday is
October 10, and her father receives
the prize of $50 and a cradle offered
by James Carruthers, Grand Trunk
Pacific official. These Japs seem to be
after everything in sight.
been nearly $10,000,000, Five men
have absolute control of this vast con-
cern. Their names are John 1), Rocke-
feller, Wm. Rockefeller, Henry 1I..
Rogers, Henry M. Flager and Charles
M, Pratt, These five men from 1800
to 1000 divided among themselves divi-
dends amounting to more than one
billion dollars. Besides this, they
secured the control of 500 great cor-
porations, including 60 per cent. of the
railways. What this means to the
people can not be estimated, It means
that the fixing of prices of all products
controlled by these 500 corporations;
and railway rates also, have been in
the hands of these five grasping mo-
nopolists, Verily, the monopolist. is
King to -day.
—It is recorded that in a recent
seven months' session of the United
States Congress, there were uttered
no less than forty million words. The
official record contains frequent in-
stances of sixty columns of speeches
for a six hours' sitting, an average of
105 words a minute, The Senate de-
voted seventy days to a debate on the
Railway Rate Bill. Who dare say
that United States legislators do not
earn their salary ?
—A recent writer says that if a per-
son was asked to name the four or five
most significant events that have hap-
pened during the Last twelve months,
he should include•among them these
three : The adoption of a constitu-
tional form of government by Persia,
the insistence by the last session of
the Indian National Congress upon
the rights of the Indian people as
British subjects to govern themselves,
and the decree issued by the Emperor
of China calling upon 'the Chinese to
prepare so that within ten years that
empire would be ready to adopt a
constitutional form of government.
—Thursday, October the 17th, was
a notable day. It will be handed
down to history, as the day on which
the first paid Press message was
sent across the Atlantic ocean by
wireless telegraphy. It was sent by
Lord Strathcona to the Toronto Globe.
The sender refers to the fact of the
cheapening of rates. He had sent one
of the earliest messages by the cable
when it was first laid, ,and it cost
twenty pounds for twenty words.
The message by wireless telegraphy
costs ten cents a word to the public,
or five cents a word to the press. This
is surely an age of progress. Marconi
says he is now in continuous com-
munication between the old and new
world and he has satisfied himself
from experiment that the messages
cannot be intercepted by rival com-
panies.

—Sandow's Magazine, which is de-
voted to the culture of physical
strength, says : "Let no man deceive
himself about alcoholic drinks. The
man who drinks brandy or beer, whis-
key or wine, ought to bear in mind
that these drinks do not give him
strength but rather dissipate strength.
There are a great many people who
believe that a moderate use of alcohol
under proper circumstances conduces
to health and strength, makes good
flesh and builds up the nervous sys-
tem. This is not true. Indulgence in
these drinks should be classed as dis-
sipation. They squander strength.
They do not give strength. No man
is stronger for having taken a glass of
whiskey. He may temporarily feel
stronger, but the glass of whiskey has
deceived him. He has taken from his
stock of vitality at an exorbitant rate
of interest."

—Electors of both shades of politics
should be pleased to see the Whitney
administration endeavoring to make
the best of the resources of the pro-
vince. Especially important is the
fact that in the following case, the
material is to be manufactured in the
province. The Government is asking
for tenders on two pulp wood conces-
sions, Nepigon and Rainy Lake, to be
leased for 21 years. One provision is
that the raw material must be manu-
factured into paper in this province,
either on the concession or at some
point approved of by the Government,
The successful tenderers will be those
paying the largest bonus, besides the
dues of 40c a cord for spruce and 20c a
cord for the other pulp woods,jack-
pine and poplar. The tenderer get-
ting the Nepigon concession must
build, within three years, mills costing
not less than $500,000, capable of mak-
ing at least, 150 tons of paper a day,
and employing 250 hands for ten
months in the year. The Rainy Lake
concessionaire will be required to erect
mills costing $150,000, make 20 tons of
paper a day, and employ 50 hands.
The Rainy Lake concession, which is
in Rainy River, is the smaller of the
two.

—The possibilities to the monopolist
in this age are wonderful. Who
would have dreamed that the Stan-
dard Oil Co. could stretch out its ten -
tacks to such an extent and bleed the
public, as it has done, Yet the Courts
have revealed the facts. In eight
years the octopus has piled up profits
of nearly half a billion dollars—$400,-
815,034,08, to be exact, and in the
meantime increased its assets by $100.
000,000, Aecording to the trust's own
figures, more than $180,000,000 of un-
divided profits still remained in the
treasury at the close of the year 1008,
Dividends amounting to more than
$80,000,000 were pall out in 1900, and
the average amount of annual divi-
dende for the past eight years bas
FALL, ASSIZES FOR HURON.
The fall terns of the High Court of
Justice for the County of Huron open-
ed on Tuesday afternoon before Chan-
cellor Sir John Boyd, There were no
criminal cases, so there was no grand
jury, and his Lordship was able to
commence with the civic docket..
Bruce vs. the Dominion Fish Co.; an
action for damages, $1,000, for suffer-
ing it is claimed caused by being lodg-
ed in a hut crowded with vermin, was
again postponed.
Bisset vs. the Guelph and Goderich
Ry. Company ; an action for $1,000
damages, claimed for loss of use of
lands for pasture, through Pigott &
Co. removing fences from lauds own-
ed and leased by the plaintiff, was
postponed.
Collins vs. the Frost & Wood Co. et
al, was settled out of court on private
terms. This was an action for $1,000
for injuries caused by a heavy box
falling on plaintiff in front of the de-
fendants warehouse in the city of
Stratford.
Brussels,

Last Sunday, Brussels Methodist
Sunday School celebrated its fiftieth
year. It has only had four superin-
tendents. Tho present one, W. 13.
Kerr, has just completed his 20th
year of office,
Last Saturday evening the mes-
senger called at the home of Post-
master Farrow, Tnrnberry street, and
beckoned the spirit of Mrs. Farrow
;sway to her eternal home, Her de-
mise was not unexpected as she had
been gradually growing weaker under
the insidious workings of diabetes for
some titne, despite the best efforts of
friends and physicians. Her maiden
name was Elizabeth Pardy and she
was born in London township. She
was united in marriage to. Jno.
Quance, of that locality, by whom she
had one son, who died in childhood.
On the decease of her partner tbe sub-
ject of this notice made her home for
several years with her sister, Mrs.
Frank Mctracken, 4th line, Morris,
where. she was married to Mr. Far-
row, 18 years ago. They took up
residence in Brussels, where Mrs, Far-
row not only retained her old friends
but made many new ones. She was
an indomitable worker both in her
home and the church and soon found
opportunity in connection with the
latter to render valuable aid in
various departments, notable in the
Guild and Sabbath School. Although
realizing what the disease meant to
her she resolutely continued about her
usual avocation as long as she was
able to keep up and talked familiarly
of the approaching end without fear.
Wednesday morning by the early
train the remains were taken to
Thorndale and from there to Grace
church, Nissouri township, where the
funeral service was held in the pre-
sence of a large congregation. Rev.
Mr. LangFord preached a most ap-
propriate sermon from the text "I
shall not want," words from the 23rd
Psalm, very dear to Mrs. Farrow.
Sincere sympathy is accorded Mr.
Farrow in his bereavement. Mrs.
John and Mrs. Frank McCracken, of
Wingham and Morris respectively,
are sisters of Mrs. Farrow.
When the court opened on Wednes-
day the non -jury case, Cardno vs.
Cooper, which had been begun on
Tuesday, was stopped, and the jury
cases, Edo vs, the Canada Foundry
Co., and Lynn vs. the Canada
Foundry Co. were 'conilnenced, the
two cases being tried as the saure,ebvi-
dence was used in both. These eases
arose out of the accident which occur-
red a year ago this month in the
building of the G. & G. Ry. bridge
across the Maitland river. By the
overturning of a car carrying the
booms and gantry used in hoisting the
huge steel girders, Emanuel Mada-
ford, one of the employees, was in-
stantly killed, and D. Lynn, another
employee, received injuries. The suit
in the former case was brought by
Mr. Ede, the foreman, in the name of
the widow and children, who reside in
England, $10,000- damages being
claimed for the death of the husband ;
and D. Lynn sued on his own behalf,
in both eases negligence being charg-
ed against the Canada Foundry Co.,
who were erecting the bridge. The
case lasted all day and near 6 p. m.,
though all the evidence for the
defence was not all in, the defence
closed its case. After an absence of
four hours, the jury returned into
court with a verdict for Ede of $2,700,
with costs, and a verdict for Lynn of
$500 and costs.
Cardno vs. Cooper was an action
about a right of way in the town of
Seaforth. Judgment was given for
plaintiff.
Clinton.
Clinton now has fifteen miles of
granolithic sidewalk.
Dickinson & Garrow have notified
the Mayor, that they are taking steps
to quash the Waterworks By-law re-
cently carried, on account of ir-
regularities.
Mr. Alfred Owen, General manager
of the Kress & Owen Co. of New York
has been in Clinton for the past week,
going over the affairs of the Clinton
Knitting Co. limited. Mr. Owen was
so well pleased with the progress
made by this enterprising Co. that it
has been decided to increase the pre-
sent capital by $35,000 of new stock,
all of which will be subscribed by the
present shareholders and fully paid
up. Mr. Brydone, the solictor of the
company, has been instructed to apply
to Dominion Government for a Do-
minion charter, new buildings will be
erected at once, and the old Knitting
Factory over the track, will be moved
up to the present site of the new fac-
tory, if the present business, shows
the same progress during the coming
year. An Underwear Mill will be
added to the present equipment. The
company also have a Cotton spinning
plant under consideration.
It came as a surprise to the people
here on Monday, when they heard
that Mr. H. T. Rance, the popular
manager of the Sovereign Bank had
tendered his resignation. He has
been in poor health for some time,
and he concluded that if he wished
to regain it, he must give up activities
pf business, and governed himself ac-
cordingly. The figure 11 seems to
have been very prominent in Mr.
Rance's life. He was born nn the llth
of June. The only birthday he ever
recollects observing was when he was
11 years Old, When he left school to
enter the banking business it was the
llth of March. Ile worked for the old
limn of Farran & Tisdale for 11 years.
Ile entered into partnership in Blyth,
With Mr. Sas. McMurehio, on the llth
of February. He left Blyth on the
llth of Dec. Me was married on the
llth of Nov. He tendered his resigna-
tion as manager of the Sovereign
Bank on the llth of Oct. In not one
instance was anything pre -meditated
to fall on these particular dates, even
his wedding he wanted for the 12th,
'but the 'wish of his wife prevailed.

We have for years been buying large
quantities of MAPLE SYRUP from farmers
"down east," and we have been selling it as
"Pure Maple Syrup."
On May 1st, 1907, a sample was bought
from us by Mr. Thomas Kidd, Government
Inspector, and forwarded to Ottawa. This •
sample pint of Maple Syrup was drawn
from a barrel of PURE MAPLE SYRUP
made by a fanner "down east." The manu-
facturer guaranteed it to be Pure, and we
sold it as such. We are now in receipt
of Bulletin No. '141, published by W. J.
Gerald, Esq., Deputy Minister, which gives
the report of Mr. A. McGill, Acting Chief
Analyst. Out of twenty samples reported
from the "London District" only twelve were
found to be Genuine, and we are pleased to
say that the sample forwarded from this
store is reported in the Inspector's Bulle-
tin as GENUINE MAPLE SYRUP.
This is the only store north of Clin-
ton that can truthfully say—"Our Maple
Syrup is Genuine became the Acting Chief
Analyst for the Dominion of Canada says
in his report that it is Genuine."
We have a quantity of this same
quality in stock. Don't you want some
of it.

GENTLEMEN :—
It gives me great pleasure to write you of the great
satisfaction whioh I am receiving from the use of your
‘• Crown Huron" Range. I find it most economical on fuel,
and to keep a fire in continuously both night and day with
an even degree of heat that is easily controlled for any
cooking. In my experience with the " Crown Huron," I
have been unable to find a fault with it, and can heartily
recommend it to anyone desiring a reliable Range.
Yours very truly,
J. D. BURNS.
