Now that the Fell Exhibition for this
Riding will soon be here it becomes the
duty of the people of Btussels and sur-
rounding country to boom it right along
and make it a sweeping success. The
business men should talk it to their cus-

tractions. In this way ample evidence
will be fernished the Direetors that they
have sufficient backing to enlarge and
improve the grounds. "palace," dm.
There is no better prize list in the County

who are not particularly interested in

interesting to them. A strcng pull, a
long pull and a pull all together will win
more than a tog of war. Talk it up.

Ir would appear that our School Board
has deoided to run our school with four

closing up one room, although nothing to
that effeothos appeared on the minutes of
the Board meetings. We think they are
making a mistake even if the new to.
specter hes given his consent to the
change. Section 113 of the Sehool Law
in defining the duties of a Trustee Board
says :—"To provide adequate accommo-
"dation, according to the Regulations of
"the Education Department, for all the
"children between the ages of 5 and 21,
"resident in the municipality, as moor-
"tained by the census taken by the mum
"loipal Council for the next preceding
"year," According to the last census
there are 839 persons between the ages
designated. In the Regulations, page
96, the following may be read :—"When
"the Reboot population of the section ex.
"eseds 120, the school house should con -
"Min 2 rooms ; where it exceeds 180, it
"should have 3 rooms -an additional room
"being required for each additional 60
"pupils." It will be observed that even
with five Departments there are 39 pup-
ils over the allowance to each teacher,
rho question of economy is a pertinent
one but the education of the boys and
girls of any municipality cannot be
gauged by dollars and cents and we con.
vend that the work will not be performed
as efficiently with four teachers as with
five. The people have a right to be con.
suited, we think, on a movement of this
kind and we believe if it were left to them
their judgment will be, keep the best
teachers and the requisite number
so that the status of the
:wheel will rise higher and higher.
We are aware that the School Booed is
dealing more exclusively with the aver-
age attendance and number on the
school roll. They should remember that
there have been about 260 pupils on the
roll even in 1890 fend according to the
census there are 254 persons between the
ages of 6 and 16. Even that number will
exceed 60 pupils to a teacher with a re-
duction of the staff to four.
The anti.Chinese agitators in Califor-
nia and other states on the Paoilio slope
are not wetisfied with the existing laws
prohibiting the landing of Chinese im-
migrants in the TJnited States. They
want something more stringent yet, and
think that all considerations of humanity
and international treaty obligatione
should be disregarded when legislation
having for its object the exclusion of the
"pig -tails" ie under disoussion. A Cali-
fornia congreesman named Morrow has
introduced in the Washington HMSO of
Representatives a bill "to prohibit the
corning of Chinese persons into the
'United States whether subjeets of the
Chinese empire or Otherwise." This
measure, which has been approved by tile
Committee on Foreign Affitire, not only
prohibits the incoming of Chinamen, but
interdicts the return of such Chinese
reeidents as may have temporarily loft
the country. It makes provision for the
peniehmeut of captains of vesicle who
may bring Chimamen to tide cottntry
{except etude es may be duly acoredited
representatives of the Empire) with 11
fine of 650f) and forfeiture of their vowel,
land imposes a yeereimprisonment on
Iearth Chinaman so brought. It provides
that Chinese who may enter the United
States by crossing itoboendary lines may
be arrested And returned to the country
frorn whence they came or made to twee
a term of 11Ve years ln the penitentiary.
The bill olso debars Chinamen from the
rights of citizenship. The present laws
prohibiting the landing of Chinese in the
United States was passed in 1882, and
will expire two years henoe, unless ex-
tended. The Supreme court of the
T.Tnited States has decided that congress
has the righv to abrogate treaties, but it
is possible that the news that the Ohineee
are preparing to drive out all Americans
who have settled in China in retaliation
for the refusal of Brother Johuathan to
permit Chiuese to land in his oountry
may cutuse the solons of the Senate to
hesitate before passing Air. Morrow'e bill.

disposition that no one but Smith could
handle him. At the clove of the winter's
operations Mr. Smith took the stallion to
his home in Castle Hill, and during this
spring and summer worked him on his
farm without trouble. On Monday he
harnessed him and hie mate to the horse
hoe and began hoeing potatoes, when all
at once the stallion became vicious and
frantically attacked his mate with teeth
and hoofe, Dir. Smith quickly unhooked
the traoes and succeeded in uncsoupling
the horses, when the stallion attacked
him. Smith is is powerful and resolute
man,and, after a fierce struggle, in whioli
he was severely wounded in the hip by
the animal's hoofs, he succeeded in sub.

barn. He hitched the stallion on the

baking him to his stall when the animal
saddenly attaoked him. The wind blew

The salmon tiehing season is noW over,
and while no accurate results can be
given at present, approximate ones will
be of interest. As IS known, the legal
fishing seaeon begins the first of April
and oloses the first of August, though the
canning season is much shorter, as fish
are caught insnoail quantities and sold
to local markets before the catch is sof-
Meet to justify canning operations.
One of the peculiarities of salmon is thee
they run near the shores of inland waters,
and neon the surface, and consequently
become easy prey for the fishermen and
are caught in great numbers. There are
two kinds of salmon used by the oannere
on the Columbia, the Bluebaok, so called
because of the color of its back, and the
Royal, or Chinook, salmon, whose back
has a yellow or golden hue, The first
named are smeller, and were ,formerly
considered comparatively valueless for
oenning purposes. They weigh about
five pounds and are the first to appear.
The Chinook stamen is the oanner's fav-
orite. They come later s.nd weigh from
fifteen to forby pounds, though some have
been cauglat of twice the latter weight.
There is still another variety which is
known as the White salmon or Steelhead.
They are longer than the Bluebooks ond
weigh between three and ten pounds, and
are the last to make their appearance.
The Chinook has the preferenoe among
connoisseurs the world over, being the
oilieet and beet flay:area knowu in the
markete. They are caught in various -
ways, the principal way on the upper
part of the river being with wheels, and
bring at the (=nary from three to five
mints per pound. Near the mouth of the
river they are caught in nets, seine and
traps, and are sold to the canners at see.

Difference of Opinion I
Rural schools re -open on Mon-
day, 18th inst., and as a result
some chilken will be pleased and
others wont and there is a differ-
ence of opinion on the subject.
There 'need be but one opinion
as to the fact that big boys and
girls may get the 4th Book, Geo-
graphy, Grammar, Copy Books,
Ink, Pencils, &c., and the little
codgers, going to school for the
first time, their first book, slate
and pencil at Tun Pon Book
Store.
The "Scholar's Companion" is
a useful, convenient little wooden
box containing a Penholder and
Pen, Lead and Slate Pencils and
a Wooden Rule, and sold for the
insignificant sum of 5 Cents. If
you'd buy one of these boxes you
wonld not complain so much
about lost peneils, and there
would be no difference of opinion.
Don't forgot that the Brussels
Fall Show will be hold on Thurs-
day and Friday, Oct. 2nd ' and
3rcl, and if you have a few min-
utes to spare call in and leave
