ELLIOTT, PUBLISHER AND Pi opiuzroB THURSDAY, FEB. 25, 1904. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux, Solicitor - General, was re-elected by acclamation for the County of Gaspe on Saturday. The young French Conservatives of Montreal are standing by Mr. F. D. Monk, and it is evident that his dis- placement by Mr. Tarte as Quebec lead- er will not be effected without serious difficulty. Sir Richard Cartwright is in a sani- tarium, Mr Sif ton is resting in the south, Mr. Fielding is just back from a rest, while sundry other cabinet minis- ters are resting all over the Dominion. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is here in Ottawa working and remarked that he did not think that he would require any rest The next time a health rumor is desired they had better choose another subject. —Ottawa Journal. The report of the Commissicner of Public Works was presented to the Leg- islature by Hon. Mr. Stratton on Mon- day. It contains a listof the railways in Ontario and their mileage. The G. T. R. and its branches cover 2,724 miles. There are an even hundred companies, including branch lines, and the total mileage is 7,176. The expenditure upon colonization and mining roads during the year is shown to amount to $159,25S,- 44. In giving a report of the bye election in East Bruce, the Kincardine Review speaks of the Liberal candidate as fol- lows:—"Mr Robb is a strong man against whose character nothing can be said. He made heavy gains in Walker- ton and Brant where he is known, pul- ling down Mr. Cargill's majority in each place nearly to a vanishing point. That he was beaten in EastBrnce is no discredit to him He was up against a strong pop- ular man in a Conservative riding. The annual report of the Ontario De- partment of Fisheries has been prepared, and shows some interesting comparisons with former years. The total value of I the season's catch was $1,547,45.4, against $1,265,705 last year. This is by no means however the highest value on re- cord. In 1892 the value was $2,040,108; in 1890, $2,009,637, and in a number of other years it was over $1,000,000. The total value of the fish taken from On- tario waters n-tariowaters since 1870 is $37,742,615. The Dominion Fair in Winnipeg will be held the last week in July and the first week in August. IMPROVED HEATING. AT JAIL, Other Matters Dealt With by County Council in Session Last Week. tt,oderich Signal.) The snow blockade again prevented a quorum of the county council getting to- gether when the council adjourned Jan - nary session opened on Tuesday after- noon, and anadjournment was made to 7.30 in the evening, when all the mem- hers were present except Messrs. Hioks, McLean and Kerr. The Warden briefly addressed the council on the matters that they would have to deal with, the most important of which were the letting of the contract for the house of refuge addition, the question of an improved heating system at the jail and the letting of contracts. for bridge work. With reference to the claim of the St. Mary's high school for payment for pupils from this county y at- tending that institution, the Warden read an amendment to the High Schools Act made last year which he thought made this county liable, and suggested that the matter, which was practically passed upon at the regular January ses- sion, should be re -opened for further con• sideration. A tender for addition to the house of refuge and a letter from Henry Stevens. of Clinton, were sent to executive corn• mittee, as were also papers with refer- ence to the Children's Aid Society. Moved by Mr. Gunn, seconded by Mr Miller, that, having learned with regret that our worthy and respected friend, Mr. J. B. McLean, one of the members for No. 5 division, having met with an accident is unable to bo present with us at this meeting of the council, we hope he will be restored to his usual wonted health and strength, and that his name be retained on the pay list for this meet- ing Carried. The clerk was instructed to forward a copy of the resolution to Mr. McLean. Moved by Mr. Durnin, seconded by Mr. Cautelou, that we instruct the clerk to write to the principals of the Goderich. Clinton and Seaforth Collegiate Insti- tutes to ascertain how many pupils are in attendance at said schools who are not residents of this county and ask the trustees of each Institute to make a de- mand for the amounts that should be collected from other counties. Carried. At Wednesday's session of the council Mr. Kerr was in attendance, leaving only two absentees. A circular from the clerk of North- 3 timberland asking that a delegate or delegates be appointed to wait on the Provincial Government in conjunction with representatives from other counties and to memoralize them against the pro- posed change in the constitution of coun- ty councils was sent to the special com- mittee. Various other matters were discussed by the council, after which they adjourn- ed till the afternoon. Resuming at 3 o'clock the matter of the St. Mary's high school claim was re- considered, and the question of the claim and the amount of same was left with the Warden, the solicitor, the treasurer and the clerk to determine. With this amendment the education committee's report was adopted. The report of the county property committee was presented, Mr, Lockhart in the chair, and passed. The commit- tee reported that they had examined the jail, the registry office and the court house and found everything in good or- der. They recommended that supplies for the turnkey's bedroom be purchased ; that the hot water system be put in' the jail, that C. C. Lee's tender be accepted at the sum of $528 and the necessary ex- cavating be done by prison labor, that the senior judge's room be wainscotted and painted and the table grained to cor- respond with the rest of the furniture; that a new revolving chair and other improvements be made in Mr. Macdon- ald's room; that repairs and alterations be made in the Crown Attorney's room; that a water closet, instead of a dry earth closet as previously recommended, be placed in the jury room. In council it was moved by Mr. Lock- { hart, seconded by Mr. Durnin, that the matter of changing the mode of heating the jail be deferred at present. The mo- tion was lost on the following division: Yeas—Messrs. Durniu, Lockhart, Patter- son and Spackman, 4; Nays—Messrs. I Cautelon, Connolly, Ferguson, Gunn, Kerr, Lamont, Miller, McNaughton and Young, 9; and the report was adopted, A difficulty having arisen as to what committee an application for a grant for aid for a bridge should be referred to, and the existing rules as to the jurisdic- tion of the road and bridge committee and the executive seeming to overlap, it was moved by Messrs, Spackman and Patterson that by-law No. 2 of 1897 be amended in clause 27a by strik- ing out the words "all motions for granting any sum of money by the coun- cil" as part of the work of the executive committee, This was referred to special committee and being recommended by them was adopted. The special committee recommended, with reference to the communication from the Counties of Tient, Elgin and Northumberland relating to the County Connell Act amen m d cuts, that the pres- ent e system of eI to n eco of cbnat corin- y cillorel retrain as it is tinder the Mnnici. pal Act of 1896, believing thtrt the Act as it now stands is giving very general satisfaction, They recommended that the communication of F. Anderson, treasurer for East Wawanosh, relative to balances of school moneys, be laid over for further consideration. In refer- ence to the letter from the clerk of Nor. thumberland asking the council to take action iu sending a deputation to Toron- to iu coujunotion with other counties of the Province to meet the Provincial. Government relating to the municipal institutions which are engaging the at- tention of county councils at the present time, the committee recommended that a delegation of three members be sent by this council. Iu committee the report was amended to the effect that only two delegates should be sept, but in council the amended report met with opposition. A motion to amend the report by direct- ing that no delegation be seut, was lost and a second amendment to the effect that a delegation of three, consisting of Messrs. Bowman, y Connoll and the clerk, was also lost. Another motion, that the report be amended by sending three delegates, Messrs. Bowman, Con- nolly and Miller, passed and the report was adopted by the council as amended. Council met Thursday afternoon, and the report of the executive recom- mended the usual grant of $10 for the purchase of flowers for the court house grounds; that the clerk procure a copy of the Municipal World and Ontario Sta tutes for 1904; that no action be taken in reference to the application front the Women's Institute of South Huron; that the usual grant of $20 be made to the', Sick Children's Hospital of Toronto; that no action be taken in reference to the erection of a consumptive hospital in this district; that the tender of J.

Wm. Young, for a grant of $600 to supplement the pay of I the men of the 33rd regiment while at • camp, that the amount be granted, but not to exceed 25c. a day in any case; they reported that three tenders had been received for the addition to the house of refuge and the matter was referred back to the council; they recommended that no action be taken with reference to the communication from the Women's Insti- tute of East Huron ; that $50 be granted to the Children's Aid Society of 'Huron; that no grant be made by this counoil for the repairing of the road known as the Prairie road south of Wingham; that no grant bo made towards repairing the town line between Hay and Stephen in the vicinity of the Aux Sauble cross ing ($1,000 was asked for), and that no grant be made for repairing the bound- ary line between Hay and Stanley across the big swamp. The report was passed in committee, Mr. Cautelon in the chair. In council Messrs. Ferguson and Cantelon moved that in the event of Capt. Kanp's company going to camp his company receive their share of the county of Huron grant in case the county of Perth does not give a grant. Carried. Move by Messrs. Patterson and Miller that a grant of $500 be made to repair the road across the Prairie road south of Wingham, on condition the manicipall- ties interested grant $300 each. Lost. Moved by Messrs.

Toronto, Feb. 23.—Deliveries at the city cattle market are gradually improv- ing, due to the milder weather the past few days. The roads however are still in bad condition, and until a distinct im- provement in this respect takes place heavy receipts are not looked for. De- liveries since Saturday were 57 loads, with 919 head of cattle, 552 sheep and lambs, 1,046 hogs and 76 calves. Demand for butchers' cattle is now good, and business was brisk. Most of the cattle in fact were bought up almost as they arrived, so that very few were left for to -day, and these were soon cleared off. Prices on the whole are steady to firm, though there is no disposition on the part of buyers to pay higher prices than last week. Export cattle are in demand, but few coming forward, the leads being of a mixed quality, with good export a small proportion. Some fair light ex- port cattle were bought for local butcher trade. Top prices were from $4.25 to $4 00. Sheep and lambs—Market steady to firm ; prospects fair. Hogs—Market stronger at $5 for selects.
