TWO MEN DROWNED.
Rowboat Capsized and Bodies Not
Yet Recovered.
A despatch from Manitowaning
says: William. Tucker, of this vil-
lage' started to 'spend a vacation
witha party of tourists at Band -
field, on the farther side of Lake
Maniton, last week. He had as an
assistant in the rowboat a young
man named William Lockyer. The
other members of the touring party
at Sandfield after the disappear-
ance of Tacker and his companion
for two days began to be uneasy,
and began a search of the lake.
The Tucker boat was found over-
turned near shore with a suitcase
and Tucker's coat under it. The
oars were found floating some dis-
tance away. The alarm became
geenral, and ,soon a number of per-
sons in rowboats, motor-bOats and
steam tugs were engaged in drag-
ging for the bodies. After five days'
dragging the bodies are not yet
found. The general opinion is that
the bodies in this deep water will
not rise. Tucker wa,s unmarried
and belonged to a prominent family
here.

Some people wonder "If bonds are so

them?" Moreover, if this new issue of

increase in value, why don't they hold it
and then sell it.
Now, in the iirsb place. bond dealers,

he was wise. While he was holding his
present supply he would probably loose
a chance of turning over his etock three
or four times, and that turnover would
be much more satisfactory than hold-
ing on the chance of the speculative pro -
Moreover, a limed dealer is not an in -
Taster. The expense of handling bonds is
very great and the profit relatively very
small -the percenbage is; far less than that
which the grocer makes on his purchases
from the wholesaler. And though the
grocer may think very hiee of the
goods he deals in we would think • hien
very foolish if he abut hp shop and just
kept his supply of goods on his shelves
to use for his own food, even though he
had suflioient to last him the balance
of his life. There is, however, a ,very
important reason why most grecers
couldn't do this, and that is because their
business is done on credit. They buy from
the wholesaler and. borrow moneyfrom
the bank to de; so, repaying the bank
when they have sold the goods. (Of course,
in some cases they get credit foora the
wholesaler, but in that caeleethey,
borrow from him). The -bona dealer does
the sa,me thing. He buys a million dol-
lar isane of bonds and borrows money
from his banker to pay for ne, paying oft
the banker when the bonds are sold. It
would be unwise, indeed, to criticize him
for attempting to sell his bonds.
"Well, if your bonds are good why do
you have to send men out to sell them,"
asked one man owe of a bond salesman.
"Why don't you just advertise them in
the papers. If they are so good the invee-
tors will buy them." A good manepeo-
ple do buy bonds from reading newspaper
advertisements, but in the present day it
is so difficult for people to tell the good
from the bad in advertisements that they
seldom buy from what is advertised unless
they know the house offering the bonds.
It requires a personal interview with most
investors to get their business, just as
no wholesale grocer would trust to a news-
paper advertisement to get the country
grocer's orders. It is the same idea ex-
actly. And the salesman who gets the
meet business gets the gfeatest salary,
and so he lute to "hustle.' It isn't be-
cause they can't sell bonds in Toronto
-that they seek you out in the country,
but because they want your businees and
your neighbor's. The more blueness they
get the quicker the turnover and conse-

WHAT 'IS TRANSPIRING AT THE HUB
OF THE PROVINCE.
J, 0. Orr and the Canadian National
Exhibltion-The Meredith Family -
Dr. Hasting's Regulations.
For fifty weeks in the year Dr. e. 0.
Orr is a private eitizen; for the remaining
two weeks he becomes a public institu-
tion. Those two weeks are, of course, the
Period of the Canadian National Exhi-
bition, of which he is the General Mane -
ger.
Dr. Orr is not a, Doctor by courtesy.
He has not been honored 'with a D. 0.
from a theological college or with an
L.L.D. from a university, although he
has been appointed a member of the
Board of Governors of the University of
Toronto by the Provincial Government, an
appointment whieh at the time provoked
considerable °eminent Dr. Orr earned
his title like any other M. D'
. by putting
in five years plugging at the Xedioal
College. But it is a loeg time since he
has practised medicine. Be had in him
always the instinote, of the showman. Be
has the capacity for attracting crowds
and for entertaining them, and so it came
about naturally that when there came
a vacaney in the management of the Ex-
hibition, and when the same exhibition
had falIen upon evil days, the Board of
Directors, searching for some one with a
genius for the show business, should let
their choice fall upon the active doctor.
• 'PRE DOCTOR'S SOB.
Managing the big show is not such a
hard business now as it was ten years
ago. It goes with its own momentum
now. So many various organizations liaTe
taken hold of varieue departments, pledg-
ing their prestage to make a go of them
thee -there would be a pretty good show
now if there was no central management
at all, But there is still plenty of work
for an active manager. If there is to be
a growth there must be improvement in
all departmente, and 'what is even more
important, there must be fresh novelties
of a more or less speotaculae nature.
These are the hardest things in the world
to get.. Another great showman, P. T.
Barnum. declared that the public likes
to be fooled. This is scarcely true now-
aedays. The public wants its money'e
worth. 11 16 is going to be fooled, it wants
to be fooled in a real smart way. It
won't stand for fakes, and the fact is
that about fifty per cent of the "special
attractions" which try to get space at
exhibitions are fakes. It's up to the doe.
tor to separate the fakes from the "souare
deals," and when he makes a mistake
there is a howl from the public.
Every Year in the "private citizen"
period of hie life Dr, Orr spends several
weeks in the Old Country, and some of
the most interesting attractions of re-
cent -rears have resulted from those vis-
its. The exhibition has beta able to en-
list ,the sympathy of such men .as Bari
GAY; 'brevides• the Dootor with let-
ters of introduction when he goes abroad,
aud in this way he gets close to the peo-
ple who can give him the things he wants.
If the Doefor could some tirae only give
an exhibition of old world "Red Tape,"
he would be happy.
THE DOCTOR AND ART.
A lot of time is spent, too, in getting in
touch with people who have valuable
paintings which they are willing to loan
for the art exhibit. Few of these are to
be had on this continent, but Europe has
them by the ono load, if one only knows
how to go about getting them. On the
subject of paintings there is a otentima
ous feud on between the Doctor tine the
Artists A.ssociation. The artists think the
pictures that are put in the Exhibition
gallery ought to be high class artisti-
cally. The Doctor doesn't object to high
art, but if he ean't get with it SOMA sue -
:feat that has a strong popular appeal he
doesn't give a hang for high art. For
example, it has been found from long
experience that battle scenes and pretty
women are the subjects that make the
people come and look. But your oonneis-
seur might, find more high art in some
quiet landscape with a few sheep in the
foreground. The Dodtor lets the artists
have their ewe way to some extent -he
lets thent etick up their landscapes and
sheep over in the corner -but he takes
pains to see that hisbattle scenes and
pretty- women stand eight out on the
middle of the wall.

Winnipeg Immigration Chief Says Labor Situation
is 'Acute
• A despatch from Ottawa says :
W. D. .Scott, Superintendent of
Immigration, has reeeived the fol-
lowing telegram from J. Bruce Wal-
ker, of Winnipeg, the representa-
tive of the branch at that city :--
"Crop conditions for the past ten
days have been splendid. -The out-
look continues of a most gratifying
character. Labor conditions in the
West are acute. Between 40,000
and 50,000 men, are urgently need-
ed, 90 per cent. of whom must come
from Eastern Canada,. Cutting is
general in Southern Alberta,, while
ten days from now ,if weather con-
tinues favorable, the harvest will
be general throughout the entire
West."
L. Drayton has given rise to no litle com-
ment. Needless to say, there iB many a
Toronto lawyer who does not relith the
idea of •a $15,000 a year plum going to an
outsider (for Mr. Meredith hails from Lon-
don) and who think that they are just
as capable of haedling the job as he is.
They point out that Mr, Meredith, in his
London practice has never been called orl-
on to handle oases of the importance that
he will be required to deal ve.b as To -
route's Corporation Ceunsel, and that his
appobitraent was just a leap in the dark.
At the same time the Mereditb family
has generally., in m.ental capacity, proved
equal to, any job they have undertaken.
A family that has produced one Chief
Sustice, one ordinary Justice and a Bank
manager ought to be able to provide e
Corporation Counsel for Toronto. In fam-
ily ability the Meredith family resembles
the Osiers. At the same time It is not
altogether unnatural that there should
have been some comraent about T. G.'s
speedy appointment. Tt calls attention
to the foot that while Sir William Mere-
dith never attained office as Prime Minis-
ter of Ontario he is to -day one of the most
influential men in it. This remark is, by
the way, because Sir William may not
have known anything about the city
counsel appointment.
SIR JAMES AND STR
In Provincial matters, however, it Is
doubtful if Sir James Whitney has a
higher regard for anyone'e opinion than
for that of his predecessor in the leader-
ship of the Conservative party. Loyalty
to old friends is one of Sir James' most
likeable qualities, and his loyalty to Sir
William Meredith has manifested itself
more than once. Toronto may, find that
an alliance with the Meredith family may
not be unprofitable, even if it does cost
$16,000 per annum.
DR. HARMING'S CAMPATGN.
DT. Hastings, who for the past year has
been the .city's Medical officer of Health,
continues to keep in the limelight. That
is not to say that he is a self-advertioer,
bet he keeps himself talked about by
reason of his entb.usiaem for his work,
whieh is a vastly different thing. He has
made of the health office of the city a
live institution and has brought it into
closer contact with the daily lives of the
people than perhaps any other depart-
ment of government, munielpal, provin-
cial or fedeeal. He has just concluded
a vigorous swat the fly campaign; thereby
arousing the interest of every housekeep-
er in town. He has beeu insisting on
covered garbage tins for every house, and
has dernaneed that the fruit dealers who
make elaborate sidewalk dieplays must
keep fruit covered over. Re b.as been
protesting against noises as being injuri-
ous to public health and has even gone
so far as to advise against the keeping
of any early -crowing roosters within the
city bmits. He has succeeded in making
outside closets made illegal, a sweeping
order which affects about ,orie.quarter of
the homes in the city. Re'has abolished
the common drinking oup at public foun-
tains and is installing a type of Rem.
tain that can be used without a cup.
IS THE DOCTOR FUSSY.
Some people think the Doctor is fussy.
And perhaps he ie over careful. But the
man who is responsible for the general
health of a modern city has quite a eare
on his shoulders and he realizes the ca-
tastrophe in the shape of epielemM that
always hangs over any one of the big
centre s of population as other people
don't. However, most people give the
M. IL 0. credit for "doing sometheng."
The criticiem which he probably feels
is that which is coining from the work-
ing people. A good many of his innova-
tions, while snaking for the general tont-
fort and health of the city, mean coneid-
erable expense to the poorer people. New
garbage tins, foe example, are an item.
The abolition of roosters cuts off a source

PARLIAMENT BUILDING/8 QUIET,
One of the dullest places in Toronto
these August days are the offices at ehe
Parliament Buildings. The staff are de -
plated by reason of holidays. The min-
isters are often away and business is
pretty nearly at a standstill. The only
exeiteMent is caused by the motor bus
loads of American teuriste who make
hourly pilgrimages to the seat of provin-
cial government, They troup through the
corridors, look at the maim and the paint-
ings on the walls, peep in at open doore,
and 'if they are in good humor tip the
guide who hag shown them through. But
It le a very vague notion of Canadian'
instetutione that mares of them get. There
are frequent inquiries if the King Elver
(tomes here, andthis year a great many
fair tourista asked to see the Duke of
Connaught.
