The Municipal World favors the
publication -of assessment rolls. With
the many new changes this year, the
inforanatioq thus presented would en.
able our intelligent ratepayers to de-

ty. Some councils in Ontario have
already adopted the practice.

the right direction and one that should
be followed by hotel men everywhere.

An interesting account of the im-
mense irrigation works now under
way in Southern Alberta isiven in
the April number of The' National
Monthly. The conversion of millions
of acres of arid land and pasture into
profitable grain -growing farms will be
one of the industrial romances of
modern America and will open an im-
mense area for settlement. The Na-

facts and figures about the enter-
prise,

As Wm. Williamson was cleaning

ed to get trace of his watch again. It
had been lost during the winter and
calve to light again as the snow banks
melted.

Alarm Of Fire.
On Tuesday evening the fire alarm
called the firemen to duty at the Salt
Works. It seems that • the fires under
the pans burst out at the sides, setting
fire to the platform surrounding the
pans. Prompt action on the part of
the employees, who with the brine
quenched the blaze, prevented a
serious blaze. The brigade were
promptly on hand, but the water was
not required as the blaze had been ex-
tinguished.
Bowlers Organize.

for the season on Tuesday evening,
with the following officers :-Presi-

Holloway ; Sec.-Treas.-A. M. Craw-

Wingham, Kincardine and Brussels
may form a League, for home and
home games, and compete for a
Trophy. Wingbain Bowlers look for-
ward to many pleasant hours bowling
on the lawn, during the coming sum-
mer.
Dog Poisoned.
Chief Vannorman's faithful dog
".Tack" net his death last week by
poison, supposed to have been given
him by a tramp, the Chief had twice
given free lodgings in the lockup. He
was a trusty and very intelligent ani-
mal, and never did anyone harin. To
poison a valuable dog is a mean trick,
and if it was done by the patty sus-
pected, it showed very little gratitude
on hisart for the hospitality he re-
ceived from the town through its rep-
resentative, the Chief Constable.

Married In Buffalo.
F. W. Roderus of Toronto, son of
Mr. and Mrs. F. Roderus of town has
become a benedict. The happy event
was consummated on March 25th, in
Buffalo, The lady was Miss Viola
Small, only daughter of the late Al-
derman C. C. Small of Toronto. The
nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Mr.
Pierce, a friend of the bride. The
bride is said to be a very fine young
lady, in very comfortable circum-
stances, while the groom was one of
Wingham's steady industrious boys, a
credit to his parents, and now holds a
good situation with the Rice Lewis
ardware Co., Toronto. They expect
to visit Wingham friends at Easter.
Congratulations.
For Potato Scab.
It is a little early to talk of planting
potatoes as yet, but still the following
from a book by Prof. Fraser, pub-
lished by the Orange, Judd Company,
will prove of interest :-"Of a large
number of substances used for treat-
ing the seed potatoes for scab, soak-
ing them in a solution of formalin,
one pound to 30 gallons of water, for
two "hours, is the most effective. Soak
the potatoes before cutting them, and
if they are not planted at once, spread
then) thinly to dry. If left in bags
they will heat and the buds be ruined.
After soaking two or three lots of
potatoes the solution should be chang-
ed, as it loses its efficacy. A big
cheese vat or sheep dipping vat, in
which several bags may be placed at a
time, is useful. A small block and
tackle will enable one man to lift large
bags in and out of the vat, and sus-
pend their to permit of some drain-
age."
A Successful Mau.
The Advance had a chat with Mr.
Jno. Joynt of Lucknow on Saturday,
as he called to renew his subscription
to this great family journal. Mr.
Joynt is an extensive dealer in ashes
and we fancy has turned many an
honest dollar in that business. Not-
withstanding this, he retains a love
for the old farm, and although lie hacl
a fine farm property near St. Helens,
he bought last fall, the farm then be-
longmg to Mr. Wm. Wellwood (now
of Wingham) for $7,500. Since then,
we understand, he has sold it to Mr.
Bell for $7,000. Few men have the ex-
perience of Mr. Joynt ; for, twenty-
seven years ago, he worked on the
Wellwood farm as hired boy, at $12 a
month. To own another fine farm,
and in 27 years be able to purchase
the farm he had worked on as a boy,
and carry a comfortable bank account
besides, is certainly doing as one puts
it "pretty middlin' well," or as Josh
Billins says --"Things might be
wuss." Speaking of advertising, Mr.
Joynt pays one hundred dollars for
one inch space (single column mea-
su e) for one year, m one American
paper, and in another where he adver-
tises occasionally, the rate is $198 for
a single inch space per annum. His
business requires considerable travel,
but as one of the most enjoyable trips,
Mr. Joynt refers to the sea voyage
from New York to Florida. Friend
Joynt had some very kind words to
say of The Wingham Advance.
From Saskatchewan.
The following from Ernest Nichol-
son, of Nutanna, Saskatchewan, may
be of interest to some of our readers: -

COMMUNICATION
From Dickinson R. Holmes re appeal
Wingham and Tu nberry, agreeing
with the solicitors for the township of
Tarnberry in that the decision of the

posing payment of taxes, and thus the
matter will be drought to a focus and
the legality of the assessment tested.

ranged with the township regarding
the matter. No action was taken by
the Council in the matter.
