Maurice Dupre in Quebec West One - sine , Gagnon, M.P. m Dorchester, George Spotton, M.P. in North Hur- on, and a cross petition against the unsuccessful opponent of Hon. James Malcolm, whose election has been protested, Ile above dispatch clipped from Monday's Evening Telegram, Toron- to, is quite a surprise to the eleetors of North Huron. Those who should be in a position to know profess ig- norance as to why the protest should be lodged against Mr. Spottort. The impression is that no serious charges of illegal or corrupt acts on the part of Mr. Spotton or his agents in the late electioh are known. Of course, no definite word has been received here about the matter and it may end in nisi newspaper tall:. However, something definite will be known in the course of a few days. It must be remembered thcmgh that protests are sometimes entered to be used by the party bosses for eaw-off purposes when the cases come for trial.

AND B. A Diesel electric car, carrying both passengers and express, will :replace the present steam trains Nos. 163 and 164 on the old Huron and Bruce. C. N.R. branch line from London, ace cording to statements made recently. The new car which is expected to arrive here from Belleville almost any day, will be placed in operation early this week, Assistant Superitstendent A. F. Sharpe stated. This car will be the second of its kind to operate out of London, the first now operat- ing regularly between London and Windsor. The new car will leave London at 9,50 a.m., going up the regular "13ruce" run to Wingham and return- ing at 6 p.m. 111e only reason given for the change from steam to the el- ectric car is that it is believed than the electric car can be operated more cheaply on this line. Many 01d -timers are skeptical about the performance of the new type of train on the old "Bruce" line and wonder what will happen when the snow gets five feet deep. How- ever, this IS not troubling the offic- ials, who state that the steam train service can easilY be resumed if it is found necessary. Teeswater Fair a Success Some 5,000 were in attendance at the Teeswater exhibition, whicla cele- brated its diamond jubilee 'Wednes- day last. It was the most successful fair ever staged by this Agricultarel Society and this fah' annually ranks as about the best of the smaller ones In Western Ontario. The entries in all classes were well tilled, and show room, especially inside the pavillion, was at it premium. The live stock display was well worth speeial at- tention, and the judges had consider- able difficulty in declaring the prize- winners, Aside from the entries in 1 the exhibition, the special attractions arranged by the executive in 'charge were of a most entertaining order, and created much interest for the large crowd in attendance. Horse races, including it 2.80' trot or pane, and a 215 trot or pace, were heads FORMER SCHOOL INSPECTOR DIES On.c of Goderich's foremost citizens in the person of j. Elgin Tom, .for- mer inspector of public schools for 'West Huron, died at his home there late Wednesday night. The deceas- ed had been well and active right up to the. last and his death was quite sudden. Shortly after retiring he passed peacefully away without warn- ing of any kind." Mr. Tom was in his 78th year. He was born near Bowmanville, Ont. He taught in the public schools of Georgetown and Canfield, and the High schools of St. Marys and Strath- roy. In the year 1886 he was ap- pointed inspector of public schools for the inspectorate of West Huron, which he held for 42 years, retiring two years ago, in June of 1928. Besides his widow there survive three daughters and two sons: Miss Mabel E. Tom, of Peiping, China; Miss Jean B. Tem, of New York; Dr. Mary I. Tom, of Toronto; Dr. P. H. Tom and Archie Toni, of Toronto. Two sisters and two brothers also survive: Miss Mary A. Tom; and Mrs. (Dr.) Sweet, of Exeter; G. H. Tom, of Vancouver, and F. W, K. Torn, of Toledo, Ohio. Mr. 'f om was •a mem- ber: of North street United Church previous to union having been a mem- ber of the Presbyterian church. In polities he was a Conservative. The funeral took place from the family residence, Weltesly street, on Sunday afternoon, to Maitland Cem- etery, Goderieh. WROXETER AND GORRIE ROBBERIES Early Sunday morning robberies we're discovered et both Carrie and Wroxeter. Bolton's garage at Gerrie had been entered (hiring the night and tires t the amount of thirty-five dollars, as - well Graaisngeea,taken.rsDepartinentai $ture was entered by the thieves forcing the lock of the street door. Here cash was taken. Losses as to merchandise' have not yet been determined. The same morning people living on, the oposite side of the street fresm. Edgar's garage noticed the door standing °pee. Thinking it too early for the belp to be around on Sunda* an investigation showed the door had' been forced open. Knowing Mr. Ed- gar and faMily were in London, Mr. Billy Durst who works at the garage was called and found that the rob- bers had taken the money in the cash register, some $2.00 or $3.00 in sihret and about 10 or 12 tires, and probab- ly some minor things which at pres. ent have not been missed. Mr. Edgar was called and the Provincial potice notified. The robbery evidently was commit - ed early Sunday morning as residents on the street remembered hearing a car or truck about that time making - considerable noise as though then were getting away in a hurry, but that. ts not unusual. Nothing more was thought of it until next morning. At present no clue as to who they were has been discovered. HOWICK FAIR DRAWS A LARGE CROWD The Howick Agricultural Society held its seventy-first annual fair in the Agricultural Park in Fordwich on Friday and Saturday. A large crowd attended the fair and the weather was ideal, over $500 being taken in at the gate. The school children • of the township gathered in front of Joseph H. Wade's store and headed by the Moltke Brass Band, marched to the grounds, followed by several decor- ated autos. The cattle exhibits were the best n years.

The increase of from 3 to 5, cents a gallon tax came into effect in March, 1929, and through the higher tax and art increase of nearly 5 per cent. in .sales, the revenue to the province will be increased nearly $2,000,000 for the fis- cal year which ends this month.
