The Wingham Advance, 1911-11-16, Page 14 4 The Wingharn 40T11 YEAR,, NO. 12. Advance. - WING1T, M, OTT., TJT DAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1911. SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. —J. I, Englehart, of the T. & N, 0, commission, addressing the Toronto Canadian Club recently, saki that the great Olay belt of Northern, Ontario contained 20,000,000 acres of; good land, and would support a larger num- ber of people than are now in old On- tario, The •Temiskaming and North- ern Ontario commission intend to build a line 100 miles beyond Cochrane in the direction of Moose Factory, and will eventually reach James Bay. —The Windsor Record (Liberal) notes Sir James Whitney's fulfilment of his promises, when it says :-- "Mr. Whitney promised us cheap- er text books ; we got them, and we are satisfied." Here is a comparison of the prices :--- Former Price Price Now Premier 10 cts. 4 cte. Fleet Reader15 cts. 0 ets. Second Reader20 cts. 9 cts. Third Reader , 30cts. 14 cts. Fourth Reader40 ate. 16 cts. Total for the. set..$1,15 ; now 49 cte. Opposition critics say that these low prices for good books are explained by the fact that the Province paid the cost of preparing the new readers and the plates from which they are print- ed, As a matter of fact, the Province paid less for the new and larger series than the Ross Government did for the old. The cost of the new. Readers was $9,481, while the old Readers cost $13,516. In other words, the savings to purchasers of new Readers in the first six months was more than seven times the total cost of the new series to the Province. * * —In order to improve the condition of the Public Schools, the Whitney Government bas very materially in- creased the grants made to such schools, thus enabling the trustees to meet the demand for increased salaries without unduly taxing the ratepay- ers. We give below the amounts paid in the several municipalities of this county, for the year 1904, the last year of the Liberal Government, andfor t e 1 rumen , 1910 the last year for which we have the public accounts. These grants are based upon+-(l)—population ; (2)— salary paid ; (3)—accommodation . and equipment; (4) — certificate of the teacher; (5)—special grants to fifth classes. The figures cover the grants to Public and Separate; and Fifth classes in this county. 10 Ashfield $ 440 00 Howick 509 00 Morris 818 90 Turnberry 292 00 E.

An adjourned meeting of the Town Council was held on Friday evening to consider the agreement proposed between the ',Down and the Western Foundry Co., and other business. 3. A. Morton, chairman of the W. W. Commission, presented the report of the expert concerning the pumping plant of the Waterworks, and pointed out the condition of affairs. The work must be undertaken, but to the Coun- cil belonged the power to furnish the funds and authorize the work to be done. After hearing the report, it was moved by Counts Hall and Bone --That whereas it is imperative that repairs be made at once to the pumping machinery of the Waterworks plant, the Commissionere be authorized and requested to proceed with the Work without delay,-•-earrled. The agreement re Western Foundry (7o. was than read and considered. It was moved by Coun. Bone and Reeve McDonald that the Mayor and Clerk sign the agreement on behalf of the Town -•-•carried. P. A. Graham presented an acoount for $.5 00 damages to garden by water and 1.10 for otiercherge eanitary tart, The damage claim Wats dwelt on at Nome length, but no action taken. Other claims of overcharge on sani- tary tax were also mentioned. On motion of ('nun. Bond and the Reeve, it was decided that where an error has been trade in the Sanitary telt, the Clerk chaff correct the came, provided proof he famished of error and provided also that the tax haus vaulty been paid. WESTERN FOUNDRY__00. BV -LAW AN IMPORTANT QUESTION BEFORE PROPERTY -OWNERS The By-law to be submitted to the property -owners of Wingham for their endorsation or rejection on the 24th Inst, bas an important bearing on the future of our town, and therefore demands careful consideration, and not a haphazard, hasty decision to '*vote it down," The Western Foundry Co, find themselves unable to supply the increased demand for their product, and only recently, we heard on good authority that the Manager returned from the West with an order fox+• $100,000 worth of Wingham stoves and ranges. Enlargement and development then is imperative ; even the present site is inadequate for the proposed enlargement, and another larger site is in. view. The Go. asks encouragement from the Town, in the extension and en- largement of their Works, and the agreement between the Co. and the Town provides for the following :— lst--The Town is to give the Co. $750 towards the purchase of a new and larger site. 2ud—Loans the Co. $10,000, for ten years without interest. 3rd—Gives the Co, exemption from taxation for ten years (except echo o and county rates.) 4th—Gives a fixed assessment for ten years of $15,000 The Company covenants ;e-let—To purchase a site of not less than four acres within the limits of the Town. 2nd—To erect a building and install ma- cbinery to the value of 530,000 ; work to begin as soon as possible. 3rd—To repay the loan, $500 each year for nine years, and the balance of the $10,000, the tenth year. 4th—To employ the fleet year at least 150 men, and the second year 200 men. 5th --To give the Town as security a first mortgage on the new plant. There are also the usual convenants as to insurance, penalty for employment of less than the stated number of men at $10 per man, access to Co's time elieets, etc. Now let us Iook at the proposition, not merely with our eye on the $10,- 000 and the present, or even next year,;but take a broader view; of the ten years, and see what the By-law means to the Town, and what (in the ulti- mate) will be the total cost. According to the By-law, the annual debenture will be $1432 85 ; there. fore .— Ten annual debentures $14,328 50 Total loan to be returned 10,000 00 Total Interest cost $4,328 50 But it must be remembered, that large deductions must be made from this, and the following we think are fair ; for the continuance of the in- dustry in our town means the following :— Int. on instalments repaid during 9 years r.t 4 per cent $ 900 00 School and Oouuty taxes at present rate, $150 per year, in ten years1,500 00 Electric light used by Co. (at present consumption of $200 a year) 10 years 2.000 00 Water rates (present consumption about $100 per year) 10 years1,000 00 $5,400 00 We have only reckoned present consumption of water and light, but with an enlarged plant, it is reasonable to expect that more will be used. Then the case stands thus :— Received by Town during the ten years $5400 00 Total net cost to town by agreement as shown above 4328 50 • Net gain to Town . . $1071 50 This does not take into consideration, any benefit to the merchants, householders and ethers, by having such a live, prosperous and growing in dustry in our town, and such benefit is not easily calculated, From 150 to 200 men (some of them with families) receiving good wages, renting houses, and purchasing dry goods, groceries, etc., means something to the Town of Wingham in a year. According to the agreement, the money is not to be paid over until the site is purchased, the buildings erected and equipped. Thus the interests of the Town are safe -guarded. Property -holders, who wish to see Wingham hold her own, grow and develop, will support this By-law. WINGHAM CANNOT AFFORD TO DEFEAT THIS BY-LAW. Cburcb 'Hews The Anniversary services of Col - bourne street Methodist Church, Lon- don, will be held next Sunday. R v. Dr. Rutledge of Wingham has been invited to preach the special sermons on that occasion. A committee of the District Ep- worth League was held in Wingham on Monday. There were present— Rev. G. W. Rivers of Ripley, Rev. W. J. Ford of Teeswater, Rev. R. E. Collis of Wroxeter, Messrs. J. Slew - mon of Ethel, Wilfrid Reid of Wawa - nosh and John Kerr of Wingham, the efficient Secretary. Rev. D. N, McCamus of London will preach in the interest of Missions in the Methodist Church, next Sun - clay, when offerings will be taken for the Missionary work of the Methodist Church in Canada. Mr. McOainus will bring with him the fire and enthusiasm of the great Layman's Missionary Convention, which was held recently in London. Our towns- people, as they have opportunity, would do well to hear hila. Last Sunday evening, Rev, E H Croly gave the congregation of St. Paul's a short but interesting sketch of the Men's Missionary Congress, which he attended in London the previous week, That gathering was largely attended and very encourag- ing and inspiring; addressee were given by seven clergymen and Four- teen laymen. Rev, C. E. deakins of Clinton will be the preacher in St. Paul's church on Sunday, Nov. 28th. and will give an address the following evening at the A.Y.P,A, meeting. The rebellion in China and danger to mise! onaries there, suggests > gg is re- ference to the number of missionaries in that country. Within the bounde of the Chinese Empire there are 4,000 Protestant missionaries, with their wives, and 4,501 Roman Catholle mis- etonarlee, There ate 41 American and Canadian foreign neiseionary eocietlee carrying On work In China, repretient- ed in' that country at the present time by own. 1,800 foreign mtaeionariee. The American missionaries occupy 252 placate, including the principal great (sides of Chiba. Among the largest societies named as oarrying on work in Oleins is the mitadoe cry society of the Methodist church, Canada, with headquarters in Toronto, with a total of 08 tn+itedenatiete its tire field, rw;;eonaI8 Mr. M.

Hall (son of ye editor) saw the noted aviator, Rodgers, com- pleting his transcontinental flight. Rodgers it will be remembered, under- tooko cross ose the American continent from ocean to ocean. Part of his trip. he made at the rate of 120 miles in 123 minutes. Nearing the end of his journey, the Nellie toast, the bird- man descended to earth in Tonrna- went Park, Pasadena, where a recep- tion was tendered hien. Walter saw him making hie descent from consider- able height to land in the Park, where he was greeted by a large crowd and congratulated on his successful trip across the oontlnent in an airship, A short time ago, such a feat was con- sidered impossible ; now it bas beeorne an accomplished fact.

' On Thursday last, a painful accident betel Peter Mathias, a young man working in the Western Foundry shops here. He was in the act of put- ting a belt on a pulley, when his cloth- ing caught, and he was thrown against the wall. There was not room for his body to pass arquud the shaft, and every stitch of his clothing was torn off him ; only his shoes were left on, by the time the machinery was stopped, and he was rescued. The muscles of his arm were injured and he was taken to the hospital at once. At last accounts, he was doing as well as can be expected. It is a mercy he was not killed. Choice Beauties. Mr. Wraith of the. Lucknow Sentin- el sent the editor this week, a box of the finest apples that we have seen for many a day. The best of it is, that these apples were raised in Huron county, in the orchard of Mr. Kenneth Cameron, near Lucknow. As Mr. Wraith says, these apples serve to show what can be done in the line of apple culture in Huron county, by a man who puts his heart and his brains into his work. Mr. Cameron has a ten acre orchard, and is making moneyoutofi because gives ' t, uehegr e9 it the proper care and attention. What Mr. Cameron has done, others can do, by the same energy and perseverance. We sincerely thank Mr. Wraith for his kindness and when we have done admiring the big beauties, we shall enjoy tasting them. Mr. Cameron's success Should be a stimulus to others in fruit -raising in Huron couuty. Repairs Will Be Made. /71 It has been clearly evident for some time, that extensive repairs were ab- solutely necessary at the pumping station, if our fire protection and water supply are to be kept in good order. A bad crack in one of the wheels recently emphasized the ne- cessity. The Commissioners decided to have a thorough examination and applied to Chas. Barber & Sons of Meaford to send an expert. Accord- ingly, Mr. Herbert Hall examined the situation on Friday last and reported to the Commissioners ; this report was also submitted to the Council, and the result may be seen in Council minutes in another column. The truth is—that the old machinery has served its day, and there must be acomplete renewal, and the new machinery properly installed. We understand that the work will be unde*taken at once, Mr. Hall, who made the examination and report, is a nephew of the editor of the Advance, and is a bright, clever young man, draughtsman in the office of Chan, Barber & Sons, Meaford, who are makers of what is probahiy the best water -wheel in Canada. Two of these wheels are now in use at the Electric Light plant. Word From China. A. 11, Wilford has a letter from his brother, a medical missionary in the interior of China, where the revolu- tion is causing uneasiness for the safety of mission property and the missionaries. Mr. Wilford and his company had word from the British Consul to leave, and after some difficulty paying the extra demands of workmen, teachers, servants, ete., started out of the city on foot, not waiting even to call for "chairs" in which to be carried on their journey. As soon as theae two (Wilford and ( Sperling) got out some distance they hired two horses for ten miles, paying 180 cash each, equal to about seven cents Canadian money ; the ponies .Fre slow and saddles uncomfortable, They soon caught up to the rest of the party who bad loft before, but had stopped to eat rice. After travel- ling 80 miles they reached a river and took a email boat. Most of the way they found the Chinese very good, and sometimes it was not very easy to believe that they were fleeing for their lives at the command of the British Consul." However things were ser!. one, Chengtu being surrounded by the rebels, and foreignera were in danger, on aceount of the rabble of robbers, hemlits, etc., With the rebels. After three dans river travel they arrived at Chungking. The trip was not pleasant, the weather- hot and sickness broke nut in the party, They were however pleased at Leet to get within sight of a British gun -boas, and felt then oottsparetiveiy safe, SUBSCRIPTION I $1.00 PEB XEoaa IN A1?YLNCL ;1.60 TO 151740014111X*0 U.

This seems to be a year of elections, at least many of Wingham ratepayers will exercise their franchise five times during the year, viz —Municipal elec. tions, Waterworks By-law, Dominion' elections, Foundry By-law, Nov. 21, and Provincial elections, December 11. We ought at least to know how to vote. Five times in a year"lest we forget." With The Boy Scouts. Mr. H. G. Hammond, Provincial Secretary of the Canadian Baden- Powell Boy Scouts, will likely pay a visit to Wingham in the near future. There are 7000 Boy Scouts in Ontario. Are you one? There is much use- ful information to be gained by boys. who are not afraid to devote a little energy to work in the tests for ad- vancement. Purchased Another Store. H. E, Isard & Co. have purchased the adjoining store (formerly occupied as a drug store) and it is being refit- ted and an archway built connecting with their present large store. The newly -acquired store will be used exclusively for men's ctoti ng Mr. Isard expects to have it ready -for the December trade, The office will be at the archway, available from both sides of the store. enlarged Theg o Ad- vance wishes Mr, Isard increased business as the result of bis enter- prise. Fast Railway Run. The Waterloo Sentinel reports'a fast run of a train on the Michigag Central last week, with a special train of four cars from Buffalo to Detroit. The train covered the hundred miles from Welland to St. Thomas in 85 minutes, between St, Thomas and Windsor, 111 miles, in 91 minutes. The total time consumed in going from Welland' to Windsor, 211 miles including two half minute stops at St. Thomas to change enginee, was 1681 minutes, considerably better than a mile a minute. Next Friday Evening. • Next Friday evening is the date for the entertainment under the auspices of the Parish Club. Wingham home talent will render "Finnegan's For- tune." There is ,a debt that the Parish Club wish to' remove and this entertainment is an effort to ac- complish ,that laudable undertaking.
