SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. -The Dominion Parliament is like- ly to be called together about Novene- ber 15th, or a few clays later. * * * -Now there is a dispute as to who discovered the north pole. 'Editors get blamed for nearly everything un- der the sun, but we are in a position to furnish .indisputable proof that we had nothing to do with this pole busi- ness. * -A Guelph woman scored seven bullseyes out of nine shote, at nine hundred yards range, with an army rifle, Who says a woman cannot hit a mark? flow mightily effective that woman would be at close range, with a potato masher. -Since it is decided that Canada is to have a navy, just imagine the strategic value of the eNevenearket canal, and, what a vast quantity of water will have to be carried to fleet the Canadian Dreadnoughts, should they be present at its opening. -A. United States paper reports that recently by the largest majority ever given a liquor bill in the state, the Alabetme, Legislature passed the Fuller Bill, which provides not only that no liquor shall be sold in the state, but that no liquor advertise- ments shall appear on billboards and no pictures of liquor bottles or of breweries or distilleries in newspapers. The very word "saloon" is. tabooed. • All corporations must promise when receiVing their charters that they will not bring in liquors to the State, and any violation automaticelly eevokes the charier. Officers are authorized to raid any and all places on suspicion of ba.ving liquors, which if found are to be destroyed on the spot. There are other features quite as drastic as those named, the purpose being to en- sure tbat the prohibitory. law recently passed shall be effective. * -In seine of the States of the ad- joining Republic, the people are awak- ing to the. evil effect of the cigarette, and. eight States have decided that they must not be sold. Last year five and half billions cigarettes were sold,, which. meant 2,500 smokes a year for each man and boy, or ,an average of eight te day. But as Many never use cigarettes ,at all, others must use many more than eight a day to make up the number. Public opinion is be. Ing aroused, when eight State& say She cigarette mestenot be solda In eigarette legislation, in prohibitive ens • actments, and in legislating against. racetrack • gambling, the United States letele other countries along these moral reform lines. In holding sacred the marriage tie, however, the States show up badly, for in the past twenty years, there ba.ye been over case million divorces, or one he twelve of all the marriages. * * * -A couple of weeks ago, the , Ad - vanes referred to a great eombine of content neills, with an inmeiense capita- lization of $25,000,000. At that time, a number of cement Co's. in Western Ontario refused to.go into the great merger, Since then, these companies have formed a combine among them- selves, and will be known as the Inde- pendent Portland Cement Co. These companies draw their raw material from marl beds instead of from rock. They claim. that marl yieles a -.more uniform quality of cement. The com- panies in this combine are located at Brantford, Wiarton, Hanover, Owen Sound, Paris, Markdale, Orangeville, Atwood and St. Marys. Whether this combination was rendered necessary, by the organization of the bigger eon. cern, or whether the constuners of ce- ment are to be grotmd to powder be- tween the two combines, we cannot say, but time will tell, * * * A Trip To (treater Ontario. The Advance is iudebted to A. El, Musgrpve, M.19 A, for the following account of a trip made by Ontario legislators last sveele to New Ontario ; we are sure it will be ofenterest to our readers, for the information it imparts ef district traversed, On Monday evening, Sept. 6th, train composed of nine coaches, and having on board about one inendred passengers, left Toronto for the North Country. This trip was th enable the members of the Legislature to visit "greater Ontario," and to ascertain more fully the eacied resources of the district, and ,the many wants of the settlers. We arrived in North Bay on Tues. day morning, and at once proceeded north. For about one hundred miles after leaving North Bay, the train winds among rocks, hills and lakes. There is no arable land here, and if none of the economic minerals be con- cealedthen the only Wealth of this immense territory is the spruce and the poplar. whieh everywhere clothe its rocks. About ninety miles from North Bay, is Temagansir the first im- portant point. Here are a few houees, a grand summer hotel, and a saw mill. North of this point are the beautiful Temagami lakes, the delight of the tourist and the fisherman. Father north is Latchford, at the point where the railway crosses the Montreal River. This town is the summer ga te way ttathe new Mining camps of Elk City and Gow Ganda. Around here, are some silver damps of recent discovery. Should the camps in the Montreal River prove good, then Latchford will be a great centre. East is the new mining camp of Lorraine, and about fifteen miles distant is Lake Temiscaming. Leaving Latchford we now approach the Mecca. of the North, the hope of all speculators, Cobalt. This town is situated on the shores of Cobalt Lake, a lake of 40 acres in_ extent, for which the government rtheiVed the sum. of $1,085,000. The land around Cobalt has been cleared and the camps may be seen for miles atound. The town is pootly situated for drainage a,nd hence typhoid is prevalent there. During the past year nine million dollars mirth of ore has been shipped from this camp. Judging from the life of other camps, this one should be good for fifty years and the populate= should inerease. Nothing is produced here, everything must be shipped in; hence all supplies are dear, Upon out arrival at Cobaltswe heard the melan- choly intelligence, that our townsman, Wm. Diamond, has just died. Her we met, Robt. Hastings, who has eon- siderable lumber interests at New 'Liskeard, Joseph Bowman, Geo. Cal& beck, John Martin and David Angus. Mr. Martin very kindly placed at our disposal his fine double carriage, by means of which we were enabled to drive out and visit several of the camps, and David Angus showed us around the town. Mr. Martin is own- er and manager of the Cobalt House, one of the finest in the place, and does e large busitseee. No licenses are issqed here, and two per cent. beer is the strongest beverage toahe had. Of eourse there are "blind/pigs" but as Government supervision is strict, it fi a costly thing to keep one. A public meeting was held here and addresses were presented to Lord Charles Beresford and to our party. Lord Charles seemed to take well, and he was enthusiastically received by the eitigens. We left Cobalt at four in the after- noon, and proceeded ten miles farther north to Haileybury. Here the rocks terminate, and for the next hundred miles there is good soil, and a fairly good farming country. Haileybury is most beautifully situated on Lake Temiscaming and bas a population of about four thousand. We were met by the citizens, escoeted to the .shore, and enjoyed a sail by moonlight on the beautiful lake. Afterwards a pub- lic meeting was held in the rink. This is a great rink, and we were told that during lest wieter es Nude as $30,000 ohm -Heed hands in Wages on hockey matches.

We are old-fashioned enough to believe Repairs To Pumping Plant. Those who voted against the By.law for Waterworks extension that was recently eubmitted, are likely to run into the very thing they were trying to avoid: Many voted against the effort to obtain 'pure water on the grounds that it would incresse the home. The By-law called for the expendi- ture of $6,000, and in this amount wes included to make all necessary re- pairs on plumping plant. As the Ad- vance showed by figures at the time, the general. taxpayer would not have paid the proposed expenditure, for the water -rates' nearly cover the annual payment as it is, and had pure water been available, the water -rates would have largely increased. The rates from water -takers would. leave met the interest and sinking fund, so that the general taxpayer would not have had his tax -bill increased. Not so now, however. The pumps are in a dangerous condition, and the Council realize that ,to preeerve our tire protection, expensive repairs must be made. The pumps must be sent to Galt to be re -bored, and as the found- etion on which the pumps rested has rotted away, uew foundations must be built. Besides, as the town cannot be left without fire protection, an engine must be secured 'th do the pumping while the repairs are being made. This will all run into money, and as the rate is struCle for this year, the cost must be a charge on next year's expenses, and •must be met by the taxes of- 1910. The result mast of necessity be higher taxes, unless some- thing else can -be lopped off. There is little hope of this, as the really con- trolable expenditure is not so large as many think. The mistake in defeating the By-law te pure water will now be readily seen. Had it been carried, this ex- pense would have been .inet by water - rates from those who used water. Now, the, cost must go to the general account, and every property -holder must bear his share. The Advance made this very clear when the By- law was before the people. - Public Scheer -Board. This Board met on Tuesday evening; members all present. After approval of minutes, accounts as "follows were passed :-R. Knox, ink, $3.00 ; A. Morden, puMping out • well, $2.00.

Their was a collision of two freight trains between Wingham and the Junction, on Thursday afternoon of last week. By some mistake in the orders, the London freight going out collided with the Palmerston train coming in, just above the grade. The track was blocked for a while, and the London passenger due at 12 noon could not get in antil two o'clock. The fronts of the engines suffered most, one of them being badly broken. The out -going train was pulled back to the •station, and the incoming one back to- the Junction, so that the traffic was not long delayed. Bumenn AND EGGS.- Bring along your produce.

A Toronto man was driving through the country with a mail -carrier, when the latter, pointing with his whip to- wards a brick house and large barn, said :-"The man that lives in there has got rich by growing whatever sells cheapest, and not growing what sells dearest." This statement called for some explaining, but it was learned that what the mail -carrier meant to say was that the farmer in question did not run with the crowd. If oats fetched' a high price one year nearly every farmer in the township would put in a much larger acreage of oats the next spring, but this one would sow less than usual. If potatoes brought a poor price one year, this farmer would reason that es many would put ..4n. fewer potatoes than usual, it °would be good business on his part to grow lots of them, Or, as the mail -carrier put it "Just when everybody else quits growing hogs, he stares, and this year he has droves of !era' to sell," This mares contrari- ness used to amuse his neighbors, but as time went on they began to follow hie lead.-(Itrotito Star.

On Saturday last, a rare operation Was performed in a London Hospital, when Jas. Reid, a Dorchester farmer, had his tongue removed on account of a malignant growth of five weeks. Physicians had to operate in order to save the man's life; as the growth was developing with astonishing rapidity, and would shortly have attacked vital organs, Grain Crusher Burst. On Thursday forenoon of last week, the grain crusher in Howson & Co's. mill burst into a, score of pieces, in the twinkling of an eye. The men were all working nearby, and it seems pro- vidential that some of them were not killed, Mr. Howsonewas struck on the face with pieces of the machine, some of his teeth being knocked out, and his lips badly cut, requiring some stitches. Mr. Piper WaS struck on the head with another piece of iron, and a cut inflict- ed, that required several stitches. 'The machine was lifted out of its place and totally destroyed.

Sutton, one of Winghaues respect- ed citizens, passed calmly and peace- fully away to that bourne, Whence no traveller ever returns. Deceased was born in 1837, in the county of Wick- low, Ireland, and in 1869 emigrated to Canada. For a time he resided at Paris, but thirty-five years ago, he came to this section of country. For over thirty years, he • was a faithful, employee of the G. T. R., and when he left their employ he resided for a Virile on his farm in Turnberry. Later he sold the farin to R. J. Breen and mov- ed to Wingham, where he enjoyed the esteem of his fellow citizens. Mr. StItton was a member of St. Paul's Church, and in politics a staunch Con- servative. For the past five years, he had been gradually failing, and seven weeks ago met with' an accident, in which one limb was broken. Since thenehe had been still weaker, and a few days ago, on the 50th anniversary of his wedding day, he became uncon- scious, and remainedso until the an- gel of death came. Besides his bereav- ed widow, he leaves two daughters - Mrs. Sohn Agnew of London, and Eli- zabeth at home. There are also five sons -Richard of Waterloo, William of .Holstein, Samuel of Toronto, Geo. of Sarnia and Charles of Wingham.

Quiet September Wedding. A quiet matrimonial event graced the home of Mrs. Cody on Wednesday of this week, when her daughter, Miss Carrie Beatrice, was unitee in matri- monial bonds to Mr. William Je Arm- our, manager of the Wm. Armour eggpacking establishment of this town. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Rutledge, at one p. m., in the presence only of the immediate relatives of the bridetend groom. The bride was given away by her brother Frank, and was neatly attired in her travelling suit of navy blue ladies' cloth, elaborately trimmed with black silk satache braid, and wore a large blade picture hat to match. The bride's cousin, Miss Mamie Flood, played the wedding march. After the ceremony and.

One of those sad and unpleasant cases where imbibing in intoxicating liquor caused trouble, was ventilated 'before Police Magistrate Morton this week. Provincial Constable Phippen laid a charge against the individual for being drunk, and the fine and costs atnounted to $5.45. Besides, it hap- pened to be illegal to 'give this indi- vidual liquor, and the names of the guilty parties were exposed. Now the Constable is after them, and if they appear before the Police Court, they are apt to be sorry that they defied the law. Law is made to be observed, and it is best not to forget that feet, No Harm To Try This.
