Another blunder to be added to the many of which the Drury Govern meat has been guilty is the bringing' on of the Provincial elections in the month of June.- Mr, Drury and his advisors must know that the boys and girls of On- tario, especially those ..of high school age, are keen politicians, and that, consequently their . attention will be drawn away from what is now their most important work—preparing for the midsummer examinations—to the elections a few weeks hence. While doubtless in many cases eyes M mourning and noses carried in slings, will bear silent but eloquent testimony to the enthusiasm with which public matters have been dis- cussed. It seems to us that Mr. Drury must be a man of boundless optimism if he entertains the slightest hope of being re-elected. His policy is one 1 v es in of "broadening out." He believes taking help where'er 'tis found, from the men of any trade, profession, or calling, all he asks is that they agree -with him in policy, while the U.F,O. to which he looks for his main sup- port have decided to remain purely and simply a farmers' party. How- ever, elections do sometimes give us great surprises, and therefore, not- withstanding what we said in the opening sentence of this paragraph, Mr. Drury may be returned. Mr. Drury is no doubt a good conscien- tious man, though, we must confess, some of his ways are past finding out. When we consider the enormity of his expenditures, we must say_of the Ontario Minister of Public Works, that he is well called Biggs. Yes Big with an "s" to it, the singular is inadequate, it takes the plural with an extra "g" thrown in. Mr. Biggs, after he assumed office, made his first departure from the path of business rectitude when he bought the motor trucks needed by his department from. a friend, at the • friend's own price, and since then, ''.when he has complied with the for- mality of advertising for tenders, he has in one, notable case at ;least, let. the contract to the .firm whose ten- der was the highest. And then what sensible person can agree with his "broadening out" policy of making our 'highways, which are now four rods wide, twenty feet wider? The Hon. Peter Smith -is no doubt an expert at agriculture; but as Chan- cellor of the Exchequer; for produc- ing vanishing surpluses; the late Hon. William E. Gladstone could not hold a candle to;him. Well, thanks be, after an unusually severe winter, spring is approaching gradually, very gradually, troo grad- ually to suit some people, but never- theless, like John Gilpin's hat and wig, it's on the road. But the ques- tion is "What about coal for next winter?" The eyes of many are turned west- ward to Alberta. But Alberta is a vast distance away. Then a gentle- man tells us that in the neighborhood of Sudbury is a -deposit of great ex- tent of splendid anthracite coal, suf- ficient to supply the provinces of On- tario and Quebec for 200 years. We hope this gentleman is right, for as compared with Alberta, Sudbury is right at our door, But a lot of pre- liminary work will have to be done— e lot of tnachinery installed, before coal can be got out in sufficient quan- tities to supply our requirements. We fear Sudbpry coal will not fi- gure to any great extent next winter, However let us patiently await de. velopments, and hope for the best. THE SEAFORTH I11EIN8 . THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1923. Clark, who was 'unconscious, but revived in a'short time, Both, some- what bruised and scratched up, pro- ceeded to their homes in a taxicab. Had the boulderrolled after strik- ing the ground or had the auto been closer to the north side, they evident- ly both would have been killed in- stantlY. This huge boulder tempor- arily blocked street car traffic at this point and patrons had to make short sort walking detour until a short line was put in. Preparations have been made to remove all the dangerous over- hanging boulders and clear the street of the debris. Some eighteen years ago, as a man driving a horse and buggy was going past this dangerous point, a rock or boulder came rolling down between man and horse, smashing the shafts and dashboard. Although both man andhorsewere badly frightened, nei- ther were injured. At the time there was a strong agitation to remove this dangerous menace but nothing was done, HARLOCK, Miss Jessie McVittie spent the week -end at her home here. The 'friends of Mfrs, Robert Ferris will be glad to hear that she is im- proving nicely. On Tuesday evening Kinburn Lea- gue was entertained by Burns' Guild. The Kinburn young people provided' a splendid programme, which ;Was theamuse- mentsgreat[q appreciated, also and refreshments later were thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. Alex. Parsons was, called • to Blyth on Saturday owing to the ser- ious illness of her mother, Mrs, Adams, Mr. Isaac Rapson has been on the sick list for the past few days, but is able to be up on about again. A Practical Joke. As farmers now will be busy with their seeding operations on the prai- ries of both this country and the Can- adian northwest, I often think of the sportive gophers which used to frisk around on the Manitoba fields long years ago. 1 retnember a gopher in- cident in which onth the occturreofe eAyear efr farm some miles from Brandon, Man., controlled and owned by men associ- ated with the Bank of Montreal, and at that time managed by Douglas Ayer. At this time Morris Hudson and wife, formerly of Harpurhey, near Seaforth, and ntyself, together with many others were employed on this farm. It was at the seeding time and I was using a seed drill when I root- ed up a gopher. I tan it down and, with protected hands put it in an empty grain sack, arranging so there would be plenty of air for breathing. That day, after we had our dinner, and the ladies were eating, I contriv- ed to enter the kitchen unnoticed, with the sack and gopher. Opening the cupboard door gently and manag- ing by gentle persuasion and other- wise, I induced the imprisoned goph- er to make its •temporaryheadquart- ers there, and quickly and noiselessly closed the door. It seems that a lit- tle later Mrs. Hudson, who was a husky and buxom iady, with an arm- ful of dishes to place inside, opened the cupboard door with bne hand. As she did so, the imprisoned gopher wheeled around and faced her. In her surprise and astonishment, she came nearly letting the dishes fail to the floor. That evening she related to enc her startling experience, pronounc- ing me guilty and holding me respon- sible for the presence of the gopher in the cupboard and wound up by saying "Yes, Bob, if I could have got my hands on you at the time, I would have wrung your neck."I often think A long while ago, but of this good lady and the incident. —.ROBERT McNAUGHTON. Duluth, Minn„ Apr. 21st, 1923. BAYFIELD • Mrs, M. F. Ritz, Stratford, has pur- chased the Queen's Hotel at Bayfield, Western Ontario's popelar summer resort, and is having it all redecorat- ed, an electric lighting system install- ed and all newly furnished.

DULUTH LETTER At last spring has seemingly arriv- ed: Our good bird friend, Robin Red- breast, is around once more talking to us in his bird language.

When they reached Duluth's ?oint of Rocks, a huge boulder, estimated at 100 tons in weight, loosened by spring thaws. and frost from. its soinewhat balanced position on top of this rock point without.a moment's warning, came tumbling down with deafening roar amidst ,a cloud of dust and small rocks, striking and .crushing the auto, and =ripping off the fender. The lady was wedged in between the auto and boulder and lying prostrate on the javeinent. The man was wedged in behind the wheel.
