QUE.Brockville, May 17.—The Union Hal Works, which received a $20,000 bonus from the town to remove here less than two years ago, have made an assignment for the benefit of creditors.The firm suffered heavily from the recent large fires in wholesale circles in Toronto and Montreal, some of their best customers being involved.Considerably expense was incurred during the winter installing new machinery with a view of meeting prospective demands which the fires wiped out.Before the works were removed here from St.John’s, Que., there was an outstanding liability of $13,750 due La Banque National, Quebec, which is now7 being pressed for payment.This makes a total liability of $33,-000.The town of Brockville is secured by a $20,000 first mortgage on the land, the factory and the machinery installed.The towrn is the only secured creditor, except La Banque National, which holds a mortgage on the vacant factory in St.John’s.An estimate of the assets outside of the machinery makes the property worth about $28,000.Machinery is placed at $26,000, and stock from $20,000 to $24,000.According to the terms of the bylaw, the town was to give $19,000 in cash and a site worth $1.000.The sum of $5,000 was paid on the completion of the building, $7,500 when the machinery was installed.The remainder of the money was to he paid in yearly installments, but only $500 had been paid.Over 100 hands are thrown out of employment.A meeting of creditors has been called and a satisfactory settlement is likely to he made.Herman Wolfe, of Montreal, is reported to be the largest creditor.Young Ladles, Read This.If you are blotched with pimples rashes or ugly blotches on your face, if your complexion is sallow, it’s an evidence that you require Ferrozone to tone up your

industry in the future largely depend* on the export of creamery butter, and as the extent to which this trade may he developed depends in turn on a high standard of quality being established, the Government is justified in adopting every means necessary to protect the good name of Canadian creamery butler.The relative selling price of all butter made in Canada is influenced and regulated by the price obtained for that which is exported.It is obvious, therefore, that anything I t the manufacture of process butter has been prohibited To say, as some ; Opposition journals do, that Mr.Fisher has been guilty ef undue interference with trade tn suppressing it in Canada, is absurd.They might as well blame him for having taken steps to ensure honest dealing in the export of apples.G.T.Pacific

week of June.Situations have already ueen found for the older ones, but there are quite a number of attractive children, both sexes, between four and nine years of age, for whom we desire homes.Applications should be.forwarded at once, enclosing minister’s recommendation and rail fare.Photos can be had.Yours truly, ’ MRS.LOUISA DIRT.which tends to improve that price will help the whole trade.That there is still room for a great increase in exports of fancy creamery to the markets of the United Kingdom Is j shown by the fact that during the year ending .lune 3Uth, 1903, Canada sent only about 0 per cent, of the total importation.The following countries compete with us Den- mark, Russia, France, Holland, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia.United States.Belgium, Argentina and Germany.The four first named rath supply more at present than Canada docs.In some of these countries stringent laws have been enacted to regulate the marking, grading and export of butter.Canadians must do likewise if they wish to compete successively in this important trade.Thanks to the wrise legislation which prohibited the manufacture of “filled ” cheese, and practically prohibited the manufacture of “skimmed” cheese in Canada, we have earned a reputation for selling honest cheese British dealers can always depend upon getting a good article from Canada.There is no doubt that the phenomenal success of the cheese trade is due very largely to this re-restrictive legislation.Our American friends, who have watched their export cheese grow smaller every year, are always ready to acknowledge the advantage which we have in this respect.If Canadian butter is to secure the place it deserves to hold in the British market we must be in a position to assure our customers that they are getting exactly what they bargained for when they send us orders for creamery butter, which is the only class that has any place in the export trade.“Process” or “renovated” butter is made from stale, rancid butter, which, being put through a process of melting and rechurning, is given a temporary freshness that enables the manufacturers to sell it at a fair price and thus reap a handsome profit without sharing it with the man who produced the butter.If that was all, the matter would not be very serious.But this process butter, which has undoubtedly been put on the market as creamery butter, would very soon ruin our reputation abroad, with the result that all Canadian butter would become a drug on the British market.It is well known that prior to the legislation of last year several large concerns were just preparing to go I into the process business in Montreal with a view of supplying the export trade.It has been asserted that the Butter Act of 1903, which prohibits the manufacture or sale of process butter, is unfair to farmers who have this inferior butter to sell, because it deprives them of a market.The arguments used arc unsound for two reasons.In the first place, no person need make this bad, unsaleable butter.There arc opportunities for every person to learn how to make a passable article, and it costs no more than it does to make poor butter.In the second place, if process butter was allowed.The general price of Canadian butter wrould be lowered.Canadian conditions in the butter trade are very different to what they are in the States, where the farmers do not depend so much on the export trade ; yet the American agricultural papers are commending the new Butter Act very highly.The “Dairy World” of Chicago says : “The good work is spreading, and now Canada has dealt a severe blow against process or renovated butter.Its House of Commons has passed a bill forbidding its manufacture, and yet there are dairy papers in the United States which arc upholding the legitimacy of such an industry in this country, and which have been oven contending for the repeal of the laws which have been passed by Congress.But great movements in the interest of the public weal and in the interest of the public morals never bacltwards.” The progress made by the House of Commons on Monday on the Transcontinental Railway bill was greater I than on anv dav for some time, and gives promise that the bill will be disposed of by Thursday, «is has been agreed by the leaders.Three sections of the bill were adopted, vi/., three, five and six.Clauses two and four stood over for further consideration.Four of the Opposition amendments were debated and lost.These called for the Government owning three shares in the G.T.l*.to the G.T.R.’s one, for the completion of the prairie section in four years, that the obligations be placed on the G T.R.Co as well as the G.T.F*.Company, and for the examination of the G.T.P.books with a view to regulating the apportionment of freight rates.The amendment to restrict the period for the construction of the prairie section was the occasion of a very pertinent criticism by Mr.Frank Olivier, who pointed out that after a session and a half of obstruction by the Opposition they tried to make amends by moving this amendment, but the people of the west knew them better than to accept this repentance.The routine business included a statement by Mr.Sifton that the immigration into Canada in the first four months of this year was 36,690.The Minister of Justice announced, in reply to Mr.Borden, that the Halifax

company wrote $14,167,205 of new business, which exceeds by more than $4,000,000 the largest amount written by any other Canadian company.In Canadian business the Sun was more than $1, 000,000 ahead of any other Canadian company.During 1903 the Sun pass-ed the seventy-five million dollar mark in the amount of its outstanding business, closing the year with $75, 681,189 on its hooks, and showing -, gain for the twelve months of 1903 of $8,499,587.The management of the Sun Life of Canada is characterized by great energy and enterprise and also by high order of underwriting ability and a sound conservatism.It is evi dent from the statement that the company’s business is growing rapidly, and that it is enjoying a high degree of prosperity in all respects Summarizing the results of 1903, the new’ business, the total insurance in force, the premium income, the interest income, the assets and the surplus, all show handsome gains ovex the previous year.The Sun Life of Canada now has a consider able business in a number of the states of the union, and its policies are very favorably received on this side of the line.The company has been the leader among Canadian institutions in simplifying and liberalizing the policy contract.All its policies are unconditional, indisputable and automatically nonforfeit able, and have liberal loan and surrender values.Mr.Robertson Macaulay, president of the company, is a financier and underwriter of the highest order of ability, and is recognized as one of the strongest men in HTe assurance in Canada.Mr.T.B.Macaulay, son of the president, is secretary and actuary of the company, and its success is in large measure due to his able and untiring efforts in its behalf—Insurance Monitor, N.Y.4 i The Sun Life of Canada is

the cost of legislation will be just half of what it was stated it would cost at the last council meeting.LIFE INSURANCE FOR FARMERS The usefulness to a farmer or his family of the life insurance method of saving money was brought to the writer’s notice a short time since by an executor of a farmer’s estate.The estate was incumbered to a con siderable extent, but as a result of the insurance the executor w’as enabled to remove that incumbrance, so that the widow and family have the farm, the stock and the implements clear.The advantages derived from a quick settlement and the consequent lessening of anxiety to those left is sufficient reason for bringing up such an important subject.The clerk or city man without real estate or plant cannot do without life insurance.The salary he earns represents interest on so much capital, consequently life insurance means protection to his family against loss of what is practically so much capital, and can also be considered as an invest ment or savings account depending largely on the policy taken.An advantage of the old line or level premium company policy, compared with the assessment system, is that after three years it is worth a sum in actual cash, or loan CARLOAD OF BUGGIES just arrived and now on view.Pneumatic Tires, Cushion -¦ HlreJ’wHard „Rubber Tires, O ^ .Koad WaRODB, Express Wacons Covered Surreys, Cormugs, Farmers
