Sir John Thompson, was in McKillop for a few days before the election. He was the guest of Mr. J. J. Irwin and Mr. John Scarlett. Mr. Thompson addressed a number of meetings in the interests of Mr. Tames Bowman, the Conservative candidate in East Huron. He is a pleasing and fluent speaker.

Big Maple Tree. Chris, Weiler of Formosa 'writes to Walkerton Telescope as follows about a big tree :—"The best and biggest maple tree ever brought to our mill was brought in on the 17th of Jan. It measured 3,830 feet of No. 1' logs. It grew on James Moore's farm in Greenock, and was brought in by Jake Koller and Jas. Moore." Mr. Moore got $42.50 for this tree. For this and eight other trees, Mr. Moore received the suns of $185. From this it will be observed, that timber is money sotD.—D. STEWART. One of the oldest, if not the oldest, elector in Ontario to cast his ballot on January 25th, was Mr. Alexander Lintick, Linwood. He is 100 years of age, and gave his first vote in 1837, and has not missed voting at any elec- tion since, either at int nicipal, Pro- vincial or Dominion contests. Mr. Lintick has been a lifelong Conserve- tiv'S, and still enjoys the best of health despite his advanced years. The following notice has been posted in several places in the new Rotel Normandie, Clinton :—"Take notice that no one under 21 years of age will be &,owed in the bar -room or sold in- toxicating liquor.

A large attendance is expected at both meetings.—[Post. Quite Right Too. • It is thought that the present ses- sion of the Dominion Parliament will see something done towards making a discount on American silver and pos- sibly paper money also. Mr. Bicker- dike of Montreal contemplates intro- ducing such a bill, If the United States would accept Canadian money,. which they are not likely to do, no bill 'of this kind will be introduced. At present it looks as if a reasonable discount will be fixed on American money circulating in Canada. We are positively clearing Dress Goods and Men's Suits and Overcoats.

Some thought it was "too cold," and others were too • sure that their votes would not be necessary to elect their candi- date, and others—well—they didn't vote. One voter woke up next day, and when asked about the election, confessed that he did not know there was an election on. This man should subscribe for a local paper and learn what is going on. The world moves, and this is the twentieth century. NOTICE.—As I am going on the road soon, all accounts due me must be paid at once. Accounts may be paid to J. - G, Stewart, by cash or note, at A.

Hicks' Weather Forecasts. First storm period 1st to Oth, central on the 3rd ; look for falling barometer, rising temperature and winds shifting southward. To the south rain may be expected, turning to snow over north- erly sections. The second storm peri- od is central on the 8th and 9th. About the 8th, wanner, with rain and perhaps thunder southward, squalls of wind and snow by 9th and 10th, fol- lowed by cold, unhappy weather. The third period extends from. 12th to 16th.

There will be large areas of rain and to the north snow on 26th, 27th, 28th, with clearing cold weather as the month goes out. This Year Different. The fact that not a single stretch of railway line in Ontario is in any way tied np, offers a marked contrast to conditions existing last year at this time. On Jan. 2 e 1904, the follow- ing Grand Trunk Branches within the Province were in a state of almost absolute blockade : Galt, Elmira and and St. Mary's ; Southampton, Dur- ham and Owen Sound points; Lis- towel to Kincardine and Wingham to Luean. On the C. P. R. the Owen Sound and Teeswater branches were in like condition. Many of the other lines in fact, practically all of them, were in a badly hampered state, Railway officials consider that the winter thus far has been extremely kind. year. St. John, N.

He believes he is one of 67 heirs to a ,fortune of $65,000,000 left by his grandfather's brother, who was a cot- ton broker in Liverpool Mrs. R. hunter, Brussels, Ont., accompanies the party, and expects to be able to show that she also is one of the 67 heirs to the $4.000,000. If a num looks to public opinion for the selection of his daily newspaper, he cannoto far astray. When he finds that TIDE NEWS, Toronto has the largest cirlulation of +any evening paper rte Ontario, and is exceeded by only one English evening paper in Canada. he naturally conclude=s that the general public have chosen it as the paper most to be depended upon; that it will not be sensational; that its general and political news willhe bright, interesting and unprejudiced anct.that it will contain something of r himself but to interest not only to ri every member of his family.

Hockey Match. -Wingham Hockey team went by special train to Lucknow on Tuesday evening to play a return League game with the team of that village. At half time the score was 6-3 in favor of Wingham, and up to that time Wing - ham boys have little to complain of so far as the referee, Graham, was con- cerned. After that, however, he be- came very one-sided in his decisions. At full time the score stood 8-8. An extra ten minutes was ordered, and for the first five neither team scored. Three Wingham players were then or- dered off and Lucknow again scored, leaving the game 9-8 in their favor. Wingham boys claim they were most unfairly dealt with. The game was unfinished, as the full ten minutes was not played, and will be protested. With fair play, our boys claim that they would have won. The players were Wingham.

The riding of West Huron is noted often for close elections: _ The recent election is a case in point. It seems that thereturns from No. 7, ullett, were sent in unsigned by either the Deputy Returning Officer or Poll Clerk, and the Sheriff in totalling the returns could not take note of an un- signed return. At this poll, Mr. Cam- eron is said to have a majority of 20. As the case now stands, the Sheriff could do nothing else than declare Major IHolmes elected by a majority of 15: On the application of both can- didates, there will be a recount before Judge Doyle, on Friday of this week at 10 a.m. Should the Judge accept the unsigned returns it would give Cameron a majority of 5, but there are a, number of rejected ballots (ap- parently intended for Major Holmes) some of which will no doubt be held to be good. So that it will be sees how oleo the election is. Liberals have been D. It, O.s for so tetany years, that there is really no excuse for any official sending in an incomplete re. tura. If we are correctly informed, it was at this poll, and by the stance D. R. O., that a mistake was made at the Inst election. The decision of Judge Doyle on Friday will decide who Will represent "West Huron, except in Case of a protest,which lfroi current reports of wrongdoing, is not unlike. ly, should Mr. OaMeron get the (teat, Lucknow.

NOTE AND COMMENT, —The Goderich Star remarks that —"Wingham is full 18 Karat." --A snowstorm in Nova Scotia has left snow -drifts forty feet high. —The Russians have again been de- feated by the Japs with the loss of over ten thousand men. The Rus- sians admit losses of 10,000, —The first division in the Dominion Parliament taok place on Monday last. 150 members were present out of the 214, and Sir Wilfrid's majority was 40. —It is said that the month of November last saw no lynching in the United States, and that this is the first month without one for twenty years, or since 1885. —It is easy now to understand why so many Liberal nominees discovered that their "health would not permit them to run." A delicate person should run no risks of being left out in the cold. —Hugh Clark's majority in Centre Bruce (generally regarded as a Liberal hive) was 317. Well done, Hugh ? Hugh must have hugh(ed) to the line indeed to make the chips fall so plentifully into your basket. —Riots in Warsaw, Poland, are very serious and Russia is bordering on revolution. The oppressed, starv- ing masses, it is feared, must submit to Russian brutal force, as administer- ed by volleys of rifle balls and bayonet charges. A movement is on foot in the Ep- worth Leagues of Wingham District to raise $150 to be presented to Rev. G. H. Raley, Missionary at Kitarnaat, B. C., to reimburse him for loss of goods by the wrecking of a steamer going to Kitamaat. The money is asked to be secured by the 1st of March next.

A number of serious irregularities in connection with the recent election have been reported, that prove that the Liberals, having had charge of the ballot boxes so long, had grown ex- ceedingly careless, and that is putting it mildly. Take for instance, a Turn - berry D.R.O. carrying the ballots, un- his arm, rolled up in a newspaper. Witn Sheriff Reynolds was prepared to give the official declaration on Sat- urday, Clinton ballots had not reached Goderich, although the election took place the preceding Wednesday; they were telegraphed for, and then they were sent all stuffed into one box, The law is very clear on this point. The ballots must bo enclosed in the proper packages, which must be sEALi:D. These packets must be put into the ballot box, and the box de- livered by the D. R. 0. personally r+QRTttwilar (not after two or three days) to the Tictoritiitg Officer. There is no provision for all the ballots for one town being stuffed into one box, after several days' delay, nor for car- rying them around rolled up the a newspaper. What safety is there for ballots in such a case, or what guaran- tee that some of thein may not have been tampered with, spoiled or lost. Deputy Returning Officers, so grossly careless, or so ignorant of the law, should be made an example of, as a warning to others in the future. II.

(Office with Dr. Chisholm) —A Turnberry deputy -returning of- ficer at the recent election is reported to have rolled the ballots up in a newspaper to carry them to the R. 0. This is a direct violation of the law and punishable by a heavy fine. Thele have been so many irregulari- ties in election matters within the past few years, that many officials had evidently become (to say the least) careless. It was high time for a change, —Dr. Clark, head of the Forestry Department of Ontario, in an address before the Canadian Institute in To- ronto, fifty Ontario 1 mince said that million acres which could be retained as a timber -producing area in perpe- tuity, and that the annual revenue from. such a reserve, twenty years hence, should reach $20,000,000. Here is a suggestion for the new Minister of Crown Lands to take into his serious consideration. E. A. HHammond spent Sunday at Port Huron, Mr. J. Fessant spent a few days last week in Seaforth. Percy Russell, of Buffalo, is visiting g at his house in Morris. Miss Wilson of Nelson, Ont., is a guest at Jas. Duncan's. Miss Disney of Clinton spent Sun- day at her home in Wingham. Fred.

Miss Fisher, of Paisley, and Mrs. A. Partridge, of Brandon, are guests at Postmaster Fisher's. Miss Dutmage is spending a few weeks with friends in Palmerston, Clifford and other places. W. C. Thompson left on Saturday for his home in Brussels, where he will spend a few days before going to Toronto. Mrs. Fishtetgh left on Saturday last for Chesley, where she will visit friends before going to Rogersville where her relatives reside. —Sugar has been on the jump for some little time past, and last week granulated went up to $5.83. Some dealers think that it will be going at $7 retail before spring. It is an extra- ordinary thing to find sugar going up in this way during what is the slack period for the consumption of sugar. The explanation seems to be that pro- duction in beet sugar has, owing to the abolition of bounties, been largely reduced in Europe, while at the same time, owing to the reduction in the price of sugar for domestic use in Germany and France, the consump- tion there has very largely increas- ed.

Though the effort made by Mr. McLean in parliament failed, it is interesting to know that the two -cent rate his pushed itself into Canada from the United States, where it prevails on many roads. This is not the result of action by Parlia- ment, or the Railway Commission, lint comes front .a decision althea. at by a private railway company. The Otta- wa & New York Railway, recently ac- quired by the Vanderbilts, has an- nounced that anyone may purchase a book of tickets entitling there to tra- vel one thousands miles on their line for $20. The Vanderbilts have a sisrti- lar regulation in force on all their litres in the United States, mid are time simply extending to Canada, what they have already conceded in their own country. Canadian railways should follow the example. It is quite possible that a prevailing two-cent 1121'R8. rate would result in increased traffic, i s would end the companies in the eta t a and e1 Duuc:at.�tlltt ','Vinghatn, J'nal. 28, hits.It -J.
