Was based on erroneous information.

The Chesley Enterprise gives a good
description of the new G. T. R. station
in that place. As the G. T. R. intends
to erect a new station in Wingham,
we feel sure that they will at least exs-
pend a similar sum or more in im-
provements in Wingham station yard.
The shipments here would warrant us
in expecting this. The Enterprise
says -"The G. T. R. has done well for
Chesley. With the siding that has
been put in, and the improvements
that will be made next spring, the
total outlay on station and other im-
provements here will be about $15.000.
The new depot consists of a general
waiting room, ticket office, smoking
room, ladies room, and baggage room.
Between the office and baggage is a
commodious vestibule. The ceiling of
the station is of the very choicest
Georgia pine, and the wainscoting 6
feet high, is of oak. Between the
wainscoting and ceiling, the walls are
nicely decorated. The station is
illuminated by 50 electric lights. The
different rooms are heated by the lat-
est improved hot water yadiators.

-On Tuesday afternoon the Ross
Government officially tendered. its re-

of selecting a Cabinet, and adminis-
tering the government of Ontario- in

"Of Mr, Whitney's personal charac-

praise. The consensus of opinion is
that he is upright and decided, honest

by Itis spiritual Adviser as an earnest
and consistent Christian, generous to
the poor, liberal in his contributions
for the spread of the Gospel, if this

professional associates who have been
