-It was fifteen years on Saturday
last, since Sir Wilfrid Lantier became
Premier of this Dominion. It was on
July 8th, 3.890, thet Sir Chas, Tripper,
rebegned, end Sir Wilfticl was called
on to form the Ministry, There have
been many changes in the Cebinet
since then, and many of its friends are
free to aelneit that it has pot neither
the mental strength, nor popularity
It once had. Considering his age, the
Premier holds the reins with consid-
erable tact and vigor,

--It is ead, but nevertheless a fact,
that insanity is on the increase in
Ontario. The forty-third annual
report of the Inepectors of Prisons
and Public Charities npon the hospis
tale for the insane of the Province of
Ontario for the year ending October
21, 1910, has just been issued, Dining
last year 5609 inmates are reported as
egainst 5531 for the preceding year.
There are 2088 males and 2021 females),
showing a net increaee ot 78 patients
compared with 1000. This is a high
record for our population. As to the
causes, there ere many which cannot
be entered into here. Fortunately,
the province is doing well in its care
of the unfortunate.

-Mr. R. L, Borden completed his
Western tour last week and he and
his friends are congratulated upon the
success of the tour. . It is true, he did
not find every meeting nna,nimons for
his policy. It is also true that the op-
position was on such an organized
basis and the questions submitted so
similar, that the concentrated politi-
cal action of his opponentrewas elearly
traceable. Mr, Borden was, however,
equal to the occasion, and even his
enemies, in many cases, were compell-
ed to admire his candour and the
straight forward manner in which. he
dealt with public questions. There
was no clouding of the issues by se
lot of well -sounding, but meaningless
phrases, but a clear and distinct state-
ment of his stand on the issues of the
day. Liberal papers endeavor to
minify and belittle the euccess of the
tour, but nevertheless, the fact re-
mains, that Mr. Borden is regarded
even in the West as Canada's coming
premier. One thing may be relied on,
and that is, that the policy he has ad-
vocated in opposition, will as far as
possible be carried into effect, when
he reaches the Premiership.

-When the editor af this paper was
in Southern California over twelve
months ago, there was being launched
in Los Angeles, the greatest municipal
ownership undertaking in the world,
namely -to bring pare mountain
water a distance of 250 miles in suf-
ficient quantity to supply a city of
two millions population. Los Angeles
has a population of 325,000, and is still
growing rapidly, and towns in the
vicinity are likely to be, connected
with the system, whech eonsists of 08
miles covered concrete conduit, 40
miles uncovered, 21 miles of open
canal, 12 miles of inverted syphons, 43
miles of tunnels, 10 & 13 ft. in diain-
eter, with four retervoirs along the
line holding 3 months' supply. It is
the gravity system, no primping plants
being required, and will deliver 250
million gallons every 21 hours into
reservoirs located 100 feet above the
city. The system will cost twenty-
three million dollars, In addition,
the teeter power will be used to de-
velop electricity; which Will sell
for enongh to over the debentures
issued. It is the greateet writer sup-
ply undertaking in the world.

BY-LAW CARRIED.
By-law No. 034, to authorize the
iseue of debentures to raise $5,000 to
complete a system of waterworks for
domestic purposes, was before the
property -owners of Wingbarn for
their approval on Monday, 10th ins:.
There was lacking the ustml excite -
went ; no carriages in evidence, and
hence the vote polled was small, Fol-
lowing is the record

The result was a surprise to many,
who predicted that it would be over-
whelmingly defeated. The Commie-
sioners will now feel that their policy
has been endorsed, and will no doubt
push the work vigorously, since the
vote shows that Wingbain wants pure
Water for domestic purposes.
Now then, let the slogan be after the
pattern of one familiar in the politi-
cal arena -LET TIM COMMISSION-
ERS FINISH THEIR WORK.
The first thing the Commiseioners
intend doing is to assure -themselves
that the casings of the wellArre in the
rock, and if not, see that they are put
there. There is a heap of work before
the Board.
Union Sunday School Excursion.
Again we remind our readers of the
annual Sunday School excursion to
Kincardine under the auspices of
Wingham Sunday Schools, The date
is July 27ch. The fare from Wingham
for adults is 75 cts., and for children
40 ole, The Wingbant special leaves
this station at 9,15 a.m. ; returning,
leaves Kincardine at 7 p.m. The
rental labeling of baskets is re-
quested,
Presentation 01 Watch.
Me. and Mrs. Neil Haines ((ormerly
of Winghazo) late of Owen Sound,
have removed to Orillia, where Mr.
Haines has been appointed manager of
a factory. Before leaving Owen
Sound his fellow -workmen presented
Mx,. Haines with a gold watch, and an
address expressing their confidence in
him, and regretting his removal from
Town. Their Wingham friends wish
Mr, and Mrs. Haines success in the
enterprising and pretty town, of
Orlin%
What A Sparrow Did.
The Dundalk Herald says: - On
June 17th a swallow flew into the
house of Geo. Johnston, 10th con.,
Proton. Both Me. and Mrs, Johnston
noticed that the bird had a slip of
paper tied to ite leg and decided catch-
ing it, which they did, One the paper
was written "North Bay, June 14ch,
1011," The bird was released and the
paper kept. The strange visitor went
straight rip quite a height and disap-
peared. North thy is over 200 miles
from here and it seems strange that
the bird should cover the distance as
it appears to have done.
Even Baked Apples,
The Toronto Daily Star says
"Baked apples, cooked by Old Sol in
his last record-breaking stunt, were
brought to The Star Office on Satur-
day morning by Mr. George Goyne of
19 Wayland avenue, East Toronto.
Mr. Goyne states that the apples, over
a dozen of them, were half cooked on
the tree, as they appeared actually
half -browned as if they had been in an
oven, and did nOt fall off the tree, but
were plucked by him last evening.
"They were all right last Sunday,"
said Mr. Goyne. "The same thing
happened to currants and goose-
berries. They were literally cooked
on the bushes where exposed to the
sue. If any one wishes to see the tree
and other evidence he may an so by
coming to my place." The apples are
of the St. Lawrence variety and good
specimens.

ing programme of musical drills, solos
by Mr. and elre. Willis and Mee.
Marshall ; instrumental music by Mre.
McGillivray, and the string band.

Huron Old Boys.
]Por some reason, there were fewer
visitors to Wingham this year than
useal on the Huron Old Boys' excur-
sion. Four autos brought in their
quota of visitors with flegs flying and
bagpipes music. .Among the visitors
were :-Major Beck, Mr. Floody, Mr,
and Mrs. Spedding, M. and Mrs.
Chas. Moore, Mrs, J. McKersie, Miss
C. Beckwith, and her friend, Miss
Frances Dean, Mr. and Mrs. Fred.

From British Columbia.
The Advance is in receipt of a letter
from 3. 0. Stewart, formerly of this
town. He arrived in Vancouver three
weeks prior to tho date of his letter,
Vancouver is a city of 140,000, and yet
only about 25 years old; western
growth of towns seem almost in-
credible. Mr. Stewart was in New
Westminster when he wrote, helping
Watt. Hutchison (brother of Addle
Hachieon of town) to build a house,
New Westminster, on the Fraser
river, has a population of about 10 000.
Air. Stewart likeBritish Columbia so
far, and is enjoying good health. He
reports joining in the celebration of
July 12th at Victoria. We are sure
Mr. Stewart's Wingham friends wish
him success in the Pacific coast
ptovince. He attended the Lacrosse
game, Vancouver vs. New West-
minster, said to be two of the best
teams in the world.
Orangemen's Service.
Wingham L. 0. L. No. 791 and visit-
ing brethren attendeCleivine service
at St. Paul's Church on Sunday even-
ing. Although the weather was very
oppressive, owing to the intense heat,
yet a largo number of the brethren
were present and they were delighted
to have with them visitors who were
here on the Huron Old Boys' excur-
sion. As the edifice was crowded to
the doom and. the thermometer stood
at 00 degrees the rector wisely limited
the time of the service to forty-five
minaes. The Rev. Bro. Ceoly took as
his text Ste Matt. 5 ; 14, 16 -"Ye aro
the light of the world. Let your light
so shine before men, that they may
see your good works and glorify your
Father which is in heaven." He said
in part -I am glad tb welcome you my
brethren to this service, for as far as
I know yon are the only society that
is purely a religioos society. You
"honor the Holy Scriptures and make
them . -the solt!,1 tile of your faith; you
have a sincere love mid veneration for
our Heavenly rather, a steadfast faith
in Sesus Christ the Saviour, of the
world and a firm reliance in the
sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit."
After briefly desetibing' the physical
propertieso;f light as illuminating,
purifying, vigorating and rinifying,
tile Revs 33ro, showed that the Orange
Aeseciation e had performed these
functions in regard to the civil and
moral rights of citizene, As illustras
thane of this fact, he mentioned the
work the Aseociation had done in
brieging to light the itregularities iti
the publio schools of Oritatio, where
the prieet Or someone appointed by
him was afieneed to give instruction
during school hours in the Roman
Catholic doctrines to Protestant chit-
dren. In other schools the French
language watt used to the exelusion of
English. The preacher then spoke
at some length on the "Ne emere
decree urging his hearers to stand
firm for their civil arid religious
libertiee for Which their forefathers
had bled and some bad given their
lives, On their way hatk to the lodge

A very pretty wedding was solemn.
ized on Jone 71h, when Miss Annie
Wightman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
E. S. Wightman (formerly of Bel -
grave) became the bride of Mr. Lach-
lan Cameron.. The young conple went

ing, a reception was given at the home
of the bride's parents, Prairie Rose

pany of friends came to offer their
congratrtlations and best wishes to

served, after which the "Home sweet
home" waltz was played, the„ guests
dispersing, for their homes Wishing
Mr. a,nd Mrs. Cameron every happi-
ness and prosperity. Prior to the
wedding, the Broderick ladies, hear-
ing that Miss Wightman was about

evening with her, presenting her with
a beautiful Silver Tea Service, on
behalf of the Ladies' Aid, the choir

lowing address, read by the president

Ladies' Aid.
Great Barn Raising.
What an interest centres around
such an event I It means much
preparation, time, thought, toil, and
cash too. .A. barn (in these days of
dear lumber) when completed in an
up -Ur -date manner, is a monument of
thought, toil and expenditure, tre well
as a thing of utility. There was one
of these gatherings on the farm of W.
3, Carle, East Wawanosh, on Friday
last. Pally 175 men were present;
strong men, others not so strong;
youisg men just beginning to feel the
coming of their strong days; older
men, whose strength is waning, and
old men, whose toilingdays are nearly
o'er. Then the ladies all in white,
scores of girls (all attractive) boys by
the dozen, children of all ages, shapes
and sizes, and the babies (all pretty);
everybody welcome, all sociable,
smiling and happy. Mr, Currie had
the timber for his barn sawn near at
hand by a porteble mill, and the
frame of the new structure was pre-
pared by David Tisdale in workzna,n-
like manner. The building is 00x01
with cement addition, 30x12 for roots,
The fonndation is of cement and was
built by .Ictmes A. Leaver ; it is 12 feet
high and well built. When cern,
pleted, it will frernish abundance of
stable room, -..convenient and com-
fortable. The roof will be covered
with steel shingles, the stables cement
‘floored. When the whole is cone -
plated, Mr. Currie will have one of the
best bares in the township and coat-
ing probably $2,000 or more. When
the timbers Were put together, ad-
journment, wair made to the shade of
the orchard, where Mrs, Currie and
her assietants had set two tables,
dray feet long, loaded with the hest.
This important part over, sidee were
ehose n by the captains, - Geo. T.
Robertson and Wm, it:3ton, and the
lifting began. On tteconnb of the
sawn titxtber warping with the heat,
the work was delayed, but feer bents
were up at sundown, and though the
men worked until ten o'clock, the
plates were not an in positiot, and the
work was completed next day. Mt.
Zarbrigg took siveral views of the
work ae it WAS in progress. The
event passed off without any serione
aecident ; the only mishap fell to the
lot of Allan PatlitOri, who had one
foot badly equeezed hr a timbee roll.
Ing on it. Here's to the now barn!
May it be fnll every year; Its ()entente
make its owner prosperous and 'happy,
and may it never feel the breath of
fire, or the Power of tha lightning'a
stroke, but be a thing of convenience
and neefahates for ever.
July The 121b,

ceeding is out of the questiou. Wing

hero lodge left on the 7 tom, train for
Rineardine, in full force, looking well
in their silk hats, dark suits, white
vests and gloves. Wingliana's
excel-
lent Band accompanied them. Over
950 tickets were sold at Wingham, and
the crowd at Kineardine was very
large,
Raising Accidents. er"
There was a raising at Mr. Coulter's
near Whitechurch on Wednesday
of last week, at which a couple
of painful accidents ocanrred. Same
Coulter bad the ends 01 tWo of
his fingers cut off by the tall of a piece
of timber upon them. He will be
linable to use his hand for some time.
Mr. S. Peddle was handing an axe
to a man on the frame above him,
when the axe fell, striking Mr. Peddle
on the arm, cutting and bruising it,
so that it bled profusely.
Child Seriously Injured,
The London train for Wingham, in
charge of Conductor Rich, was the
cause of a sad accident on Monday
evening, When a very short distance
out of Peensall, a little boy about four
years of age was struck by the train.
He was the on of Mr. Marshall, the
section -boss, and it is thought he was
going up the track to meet his father
and had fallen asleep. Engineer Fix-
ture did not see the child, nor was
aware of the accident until Road -
master Pender, who was on the rear
platform, signalled to stop. One of
the child's legs was cut off at the hip
and the other crushed, He was taken
to Clinton hospital, but is not expect-
ed to recover.
Church Renovation.

undergoing renovation. Mt. Walthew
of St. Thomas has the contract for the
decoration and began his work this
week. New Kelsey fnrnaces have
been installed by Mr. Boyce, and it
has been decided to change the
lighting system by installing chande-
liers over the galleries and make other
changes in the electric lighting of the
auditorium, at a cost of about $250
for this alone. When completed, the
building will not only be attractive,'
but comfortable and a credit to the
acknowledged liberality of the con-
gregation. Daring the renovation, of
the auditorium the services will be
held in the Sunday School room.
A Neighborly Act.
The Advance is pleased to hear that
Mr. James Porter, who has been in
the hospital since his serious injuty,
is doing nicely, On Wednesday of
last week, his neighbors to the num-
ber of 16, with two horse -rakes and
five teams drawing in, placed his hay
crop safely in his barn, There were
38 loads, well -saved without a drop of
rain, which fell the same night. It
was a neighborly act, one of those
which (we believe) are noted by the
All -seeing Eye. There is no one in
the neighborhood that would give his
help more eheerfillly (if a neighbor
was in a similar condition) than Mr.
Porter himself, and the kind and
thoughtful act of his neighbors was
appreciated,
