PIIBLISAwR AND PRQPaIRT011 TIiURSDA.Y, JUNE 2, 1904, NOTES AND COMMENTS, Mr, A W. Robb, of the Walkerton Telescope hauded in his resignation as Liberal candidate for South Bruce for the Commons, Mr. Robb says h e has found that active politics is bad for bus- iness, and two elections in one year too expensive for a country newspaper man. The customs revenue of the Dominion for the 11 months eudiu5 May 31 was $36,787,030, an increase of $37,747,097 over the same time last year, The re- ceipts for the present month were $3,- 409,909, an increase of $338,750 over May, 1903. This is one of the largest in- creases in the history of the country. East Huron Liberals. The aunual meetiug of the Liberals of East Hurou was held at Brussels ou Tuesday. The meetings were not large- ly attended, owing to bad weather and other unavoidable ciroumstauces. At the afternoon meeting the officers of last year were re-elected, with the ex- ception of of change in Chairmanship for Grey and Blyth. The matter of changing date of annual meeting was left in the hands of the Executive Committee. Resolutions were passed, endorsing the Laurier and Ross Gov- ernments. Addresses were made by Thos &rect un, Thos McMillian, Chas Marcel, M P, of Quebec; Dr Macdonald, M P and Arch Hislop, M P P. At the evening meeting speeches were made by the last three gentlemen. Mr Marcil is a very pleasing and fluent epeaker, and said to be one of the best French orators in the House of Commons. His speeches at Brussels were listened to with ranch interest. Editor of the Wingham TINES DEAR SIR, -I beg to state through the columns of your paper the culpable conduct of au employee of this corpora. tion, who deliberately undertakes to shut off the passage of water through the fish -slide at the lower dam, destroy- ing free access for fish to the splendid spawning grounds of the north branch of the Maitland River. I would advise the party here referred to, and also the local Game Warden, to carefully read chapter ninety-five of Revised Statutes of Canada, the former would see the serious blunder he made, and the latter would Iearn what is expected of him as a public servant of the Government. Yours truly S. Y. -r CHURCH NOTES. Rev. Jas. A. Anderson has completed sixteen years as pastor of Knox Presby- terian Church at Goderich. Rev.

Every metnbier of the party on the Cauadian Press. Association's trip to St. Louis was of the opinion that it was one of the most enjoyable outing ever held under the auspices of the association. The party, over two hundred, sixty mem- bers being from the Province of Quebec. Huron county newspapers were well re- presented by W. 11, Robertson, Goder- ieh Signal; Jas, Mitchell, Goderich Star; W. D. McLean, Seaforth Expositor; C. H. Saunders, Exeter Advocate; A. E. Bradwia, Blyth Standard, and Mr. and 111rs. H. B. Elliott, Wingham TI gas. The special traiu lett Toronto at 8.15 a. in, on Saturday, May 14th. The oom fort of the party was eusured by the admirable appointments of the Grand Trunk. The traiu was composed of seven Pullman cars, two diners and a baggage car. All the Pullmans were new, and ,had been specially brought from Buffalo and New York for the trip. It was one of the finest excursion trains that ever left Toronto. In charge of the party and uurernitting in theiratten- tion and courtesy were Mr. J. D. Mc- Donald, of Toronto, district passenger agent, and Mr. H. R. Charltou, of Montreal, advertising agent of the Grand Trunk. All members of the party were loud in their praise to the Grand. Trunk and their very obliging officials. Enjoyably but unevent- fully, the hours of the journey between Toronto and St. Louis speed by. From Port Huron to SouthBead, Ind. at which point darkness overtook the party,the country does not in any way compare with Ontario. The land in low and swampy*, though in places one could see a stretch of fairly good land. Prom Port Huron to South Bend are some impor- tant centres, including Lansing, Battle Creek and Durand. The latter place is quite a railway centre, where the G.T.R. has recently erected a large stone rail- way station. !lhe G. T. R. landed the party at Harvey, Ill. at 9.30 on Saturday eight, on time to the minute, One of the pleasing features of the going trip was a progressive euchre party, Mrs. C. J. Bowell, of Belleville winning the ladies prize and Mr. Dingman, of the St. Thomas Times, the gentlemen's prize. At Harvey, the train was handed over to the Illinois Central Railway and over its splendid road -bed equally good time was made. At 7 o'clock Sunday morn- ing the party found themselves in the magnificient Uuion Station at St. Louis, said to be one of the largest stations in the world. Thirty-three tracks for pas- senger trains only, enter the station. Trolley cars were in waiting and the members of the party were at the Inside Inn on the grounds at 7.30 o'clock. While passing through the various cities of Canada on the journey to St. Louis the pressmen had gifts galore showered upon them. In Toronto Ryrie presented each lady with a sterling silyer pencil and each geutlemen with a purse. The George E. Tuckett Company of Hamilton, the Toronto Industrial Ex- hibition Association and Andrew Wilson & Son, of Toronto, also contributed to the Santa Claus effect. THE INSIDE INN. The Inside Inn is a remarkable in stitntion. It is the only hotel on the ground, and its chief claim to patronage lies in this fact. It is an immense temporary structure, covering 12 acres, erected solely for the accommodation of guests at the Fair. It is the largest hotel in the world, The building con- tains 2,500 rooms, The two dining - rooms will seat 1,700 people. The hotel is said to have nine miles of hallways. The Canadian section of the building was over a quarter of a mile from the diningroom and this walk served as a good appetizer before breakfast. The accommodation was good, considering the large number of people handled. Market street cars from the Union Station pass the State Building entrance which is but a short distance from the Inside Inn. Rates at the Inside Inn are $3.00 to e7.00 per day on the American plan, rates including one daily admission to fair grounds. THE PAIR ITSELF. That it is going to be an immense Exposition no one can question. It is still incomplete in some details. Work- men are engaged in finishing some in- teriors and arranging exhibits The ramie about the grounds are not as ready for traffic as they should be. It will he several weeks before all is complete. Bat there was enough to see. The week of our visit was "press week" and thousands of newspaper editors were present from every State of the Union, and the Toronto News well states how we were used when it says: --- "The Exposition managers threw every- thing open to the press. Yost, could go everywhere, even through the ntud, with- out a fee being extracted. You could see everything -that wascompleted. The wearer of a press badge was a person be- fore whore officials bowed, gates flew open, and cars stopped. The Canadians forbore to ask for the Presideney of the United States, but it was doubtless avail- able if they had demanded it. At any rate, everything sloe wee." The plan of the buildings is magnifl- ciently impressive. From One centre, Festival Hall, occupying a commanding position on the summit of a hill, the great collection of towering marble structures radiate like a fan, The U. S. Government building has great steel trndsee, and the Palace of Arts fed brick and stone, but all the other buildings of the Exposition tare of wood and atafff. The exhibit buildings are ivory White, with sprinkle4of color on the roof, which , at once accentuate the bold ontliuos of the structures and afford a. welcome relief to the eye. Au ever memorable speotaole it is at night when the great white buildings are illuminated by thousands of lights and ono stands at the foot of the Piazza St. Louis, and beholds for the first time the glorious panorama which there un- folds itself, - The myriads of ipcandescent lights merely aeceutuate the hold out - bans of the structures, and in this im- press the beholder with their solid magnificence as well as their symmetrical beauty. EXPOSITION WILDING'S. Mauy of the Departments of the Ex- position ,' pp to'o n are complete. The Eine Arcs building is something grand. The lover of A.rt can find there material to revel in for weeks and weeks. Occupying a central position in the Forestry, Fish and Gagne Building, is the Grand Trunk Railway exhibit. It is one of the handsomest pavilions on the grounds, of Doric and Corinahian architecture, with deer and moose heads as central pieces in the cornice. Large bromide pictures depicting huuting, fish• iug and summer resort scenes aloug the line ere zn panels ou the three sides. The interior is decorated with large photo- graphic productions, well mounted Ash, consisting of brook trout, land -looked salmon, ouahaniche, wall -eyed pike, small -mouth black bass and maskiuouge. Two oil paintings, 9xI3 feet executed by one of the best artists in Canada, and titled, "The Royal Muskoka Hotel," and "Head of Lake Joseph," scenes in the Muskoka Lake district, handsomely framed, are ou the inside front wall. These two pictures will be placed in the Sing Edward Hotel, Toronto, after the Fair closes. Two moving picture ma- chines, showing scenes ou the road from the St, Clair Tunnel to the Androscoggin River in Maine, are rnn continuously, while the wonderful reflection picture "On Shadow River," continues to re- volve every thirty seconds, and a puzzle to many is which is the reflection? The U. S, Government building is a magniflcent strueture, and is especially inviting to the tourist because of its completeness. Everything in this build- ing is in apple•pie order. First in interest to the ladies was the Varied Industries Building, a city in it- self, containing priceless treasures from the world of art. Here Japan offers in lavish abundance specimens of her pecu- liar art. France presents dreams in ladies' gowns, running as high as $12,000. Austria revels in her cut glass and other special lines of industry, while Great Britain makes an impressive and prac- tical display itt all kinds of manufactur- ing produots. The Palace of Manufactures formes one of the moat conspicuous objects as yon enter the grounds by the maiu gate. The building covers 14 acres, and here is exhibited only two classes of the manu- factures department, comprising textiles, clothing, embroideries, laces, etc. The Palace of Electricity is oue of the most interesting buildings ou the grouuds, having 262,000 square feet of floor space. The exhibits are mostly machines in operation for the generation and use of electricity, dynamos and motors. Muoh could be said of the other bnild- iugs, such as Palace of Machinery, Palace of Education, Palace of Liberal Arts, Palace of Transportation, but time or space will not permit. Just a few lines on the Palace of Agriculture, which was to us one of the most interesting places on the grounds, and to which we had to make a second visit. This is the largest building ever constructed at an exposition for exhibit purposes, em- bracing 22 acres. The exhibits cover all the products of the soil, together with the tools, implements, methods of culti- vation, harvesting, irrigation, drainage and the by-products of the manufactured forms of these products; their prepara- tion and preservation, including every- thing edible and drinkable which comes, however remotely, from the soil, and which enters into the home life or cotn- merce of the people of the world. There are several other interesting buildings, including all the different State Buildings, but we cannot touch them. The Pike, or what is generally known as the Midway has some exceIIent at- tractions and our party made good use of their passes. CANADA AT THE FAIR. Every member of the party had good reason to he proud of his oonntry. Canada's displays in every department were well up to the mark. In agrieul- ture, horticulture, fish and game, and mineralogy, Canada takes a back seat to leo state or country represented at the Exposition. The Canadian Building, costing $40,000 to $50,000, es admirably located, and is the centre of a vigorous immigration propaganda, which will make itself felt in every part of the United States. A corps of agents is busy imparting information and distri- buting literature relating to the Canadian West. The visitor will be struck with the thoronghly businesslike way in whicla Canada has gone into the, fair. She is looking for direct results. The pamphlets are most attractive to the eye, illustrated in colors, and such ae every person will read and keep. Thee flood of printed matter will make people curious to see what the Dominion has to show and they will find that the exhibits bear out the literature. A bountiful crop of first-class Ameri- can settlers has been the reward of ofa- cial energy during the past three or four years. Over 26,000 entered. in 1902, near- ly 50,000 last year and this year the rush is even greater. American immigration may be said to have became a hardy an- nual. In the A grioultural building is shown a piece of rustic work, made from three thousand different kinds of wood, all of which were grown in Canada. The Canadian building is in charge of Commissioners Hutchison and Barns. At this building a reception for mein - hers of our party was held on the Wed- nesday afternoon and a very enjoyable tinge was spent. refreshments were served and speeches made by members of the party and others, Thin H ME O wAitDTR IP Thursday at 9.10 p.m, found all teem - tem of the party on board the train and nifty morning we were in Chicago, Tho day was spent iii seeing the sights of busy Chicago. Many of the party met relatives and old friends in the. Winder City. In Chicago the party was entertained at a banquet at the'tietoria hotel by the lkeilhe Printing Press Co. 1t was a very pleasing affair, At the close of the banquet•the party adjourned to the Dearborn station, where our train left at 8 p.m. Saturday Morning at IS.4O o'clock we were in London, where the presentations, as announced in, our last issue, were made. Many left the party at Loudon, We would advise parties who intend visiting the Fair to defer their trip for a few weeks, in order that the grounds and buildings inay be iu good shape, Live Stook 1FIarlete.
