EXETER, ONT., CANADA, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 29th 1909, cel The license commissioners for south Huron met at Brucefield last Friday to consider the application, for li- censes for the coining license year. All of the applications were granted with the exception of one in Exeter. During the past winter the council passed a resolution :educing the hotel liquor licenses to three and the Inspectors acting on that resolution cut off the license of the Mansion House at the lower end of the town. Mr. Dinney, the proprietor was given until the first of July to dispose of his stock. There were no applications for shop licenses, Mr. F. J. Knight, the present holder of n shop licenses, having tvithdrau•n his .Application owing to retirement from business. Following are those who were grant- ed licenses :-Exeter. W. T.

Cantin, of St. Joseph. was a call- er on Mayor Dingman last week on the subject of the city guaranteeing bonds for the Stratford and St. Jos- eph dtadial Railway. Mr. Cantin states that his project is now in shape for the commencement of con- struction: in fact Mr. R. 114 Sher- wood, a large New York city con- tractor, has undertaken to start at once from the St. Joseph end, building to either Exeter or Hensel', and wait for his pay from the sale of the bonds. Mr. Chas. M. Schwab the great steel magnate, has also agreed to fill a large order for steel rails on the same terms. Mr. Schwab visited St. Joseph last summer as bir. Cantin's guest and looked into the prospects of the .tatter's enterprises. Other municipalities are also to be asked to vote guarantees of bonds. The pro- posed route is virtually the same as Proposed formerly, when the project was up, Barn.•:y from Stratford tto Avonton, Carii,r-ford, Russeldale and Farquhar to Exeter if the road goes that way, or via Itusseldale, Crom- arty, 'Chiselhurst to Hensel!. Mr. Cantin is to put a proposition into shape for submission to the t;ity Council and Board of Trade. A Reactionary Storm Period is In progress barometer, s clo idinessoand rain Lill ll pass eastwardly over ,the country from 1st to 3rd, breaking into electri- cal storms in nutny localities on the 2nd. The reaction to higher tbaro- meter, westerly winds, and (fair. cooler weather will follow- in regular order immediately behind these storm areas. A Regular Storm Period is central on the Gth, covering the 4th to the 8th. By the 5th, western sections will show decided rise in temperature. with corresponding fall of the baro- meter. :Cloudiness and rain will at- tend and move promptly eastward over the country during the 6th, 7th and 8th. The Mars period will practi- cally fade out after this period, al- though its presence may he noticeable up to the 2Uth. A decided change to cooler. with probable frost at night. will set in behind the storms to the westward about the 7th, and during the Sth, 9th and 10th, this change to fair, cooler weather will Sollow close on the western sides of storm areas. reaching in its eastward pro- gress. most parts to the Atlantic coasts. If seismic shakes are to occur during the first half of May. in every probability they will fall within tbtee days of the 5th. or during the Moon's sweep /rout the celestial equator on the and. to great- est declination south on the 8th.
