appointment of Lord Willingdon of Ratton as Governor-General of Canada, succeeding Banon Byng of Vimy, who retires next month.Lord Willingdon is expected in London at the end of this month being now engaged in completing his recommendation after enquiring, with others concerned, into the situation regarding the Boxer indemnities in China.He has been in the Far East on this mission for some weeks, and is to sail from China on June 19th.Canada\u2019s next Governor-General will be 60 years of age on September 12 next.Named Freeman Free-m an-Thom as before ascending to the .peerage, he is a son of Frederick F\u2019reeman-T.homas, his mother being Mabel, daughter of the first Viscount Hampden, former Speaker of the House of Commons.The Dominion\u2019s new \u201cFirst Lady\u201d is Lady Marie Adelaide, his wife, and daughter of first Banon iBrassey.As Mr.Freeman-Thomas, Lord Willingdon represented tlastings in the House of Commons from 1900 to 1906, and for four years thereafter represented Bodmin, Cornwall.As a young man, F'reeman-Thomas was notable for his achievements as captain of the Eton and Cambridge cricket elevens.Now Lord Willingdon has achieved a distinctive reputation for his diplomatic and able governmenships of Bombay and Madras, which kept him in India from 1913 to 1924.Since then he as undertaken various missions for the Government, culminating in the .present mission in China.Lord Willingdon toured Canada on his way to the Far East earlier- this year, when, of course, he could not publicly confirm the rumors of his appointment to the Governor-Gen- ,Mrl 1Gnu0t0hri sa\u20191^,J^aTtT wnon t*ie i eralship, which even then were engineering $20,200,000 a four million Port Nelson, or a total of $26,353,-000 in all.Mr.Dunning emphasized that these figures did not represent any expenditure to which the government was committed.\u201cI am not satisfied,\u201d he said, \u201cto do all the work with which the estimate deals in order to obtain the widely circulated.to compel farmers to have their eggs graded in local markets.To read the act as passed one would infer that it applied only to the export trade.Actually it had empowered the Governor-in-tCouncil to issue a set of regulations which had caused more inconvenience and trouble tp farmers and farmers\u2019 , , ,\twives than any single act that has object sought by the Government.\tthrough'the House.By \u201cfair trial\u201d, he meant fair -\tlvoo stri By trial of the sea route to Europe through a hay port.\u201cI do not estimate,\u201d he added, \"that it is necessary to spend $20,-000,000 in order to make a test.This does not commit the Government to these particular port developments, nor commit the Government for instance to the erection of a four million bushel elevator, not by any means.\u201d Would Ship Coal Immediately To Nelnon.In the course of the debate, Colonel T.Cantley, Conservative, Pictou, proposed that ten ships of the Canadian Government Merchant Marine should be loaded with Cape Breton coal, and sent to Nelson.The coal could be dumped over the sides of the ships there to be dredged up later as needed.And, if the ten ships got out of the bay empty, without accident, he would withdraw his opposition to the Hudson Bay route.J.S.Woodsworth, Labor, Winnipeg, North Centre, said that there were many things he did not like about the\" method of approach to this problem, but he would support the present vote.He urged better investigation of the feasability of the route.Oppoted To Launeblng of New Railways.A.DcWitt Foster, Conservative, Hants-Kings, was opposed to the launching of new railways while the Dominion was already saddled witn a heavy debt for transportation bchomes.Mr.Guthrie was strongly in favor of the old system of buying and selling egga on the open market.Under that system people knew what, they were getting.Now people knew neither what they were getting nor what they wore selling.Farmers were, subjected to a .system under Which \u201cFirsts\u201d were not F\u2019irsts, but \u201cThirds\u201d, and \u201cSeconds\u201d were \u201cFourths.\u201d .Something- described as \u201cSpecials\u201d and \u201cExtras\u201d came before them.Once upon a time fresh eggs vrero fresh eggs.Now they might be any one of five separate grades.Separate Ratings.The result was that on cold Saturdays the country market saw a long line of farmers\u2019 wives waiting half an hour for the privilege of paying two cents per dozen to have their eggs graded by a man who often knew nothing about it.Some farmers had made a test, had the same basket graded three times over and each time got a separate rating.The present Government, said Mr.Guthrie, was solely responsible for the present regulations, which were \u201ccarrying the paternal idea in legislation to extreme and excess.\u201d The net should be so amended as to exclude the farmer from the definition of a retailer.Farmers had been excluded In other nets from the class of retailers and there w-as no reason why it could not be done in this ease.Resolutions which Mr.Guthrie proceeded to place on Hansard voicing the desire of several agricultural associations in Ontario Debate on the vote was adjourned for a change in these regulations by C .H.Cnjinn, Conservative, St.Mr.Guthrie believed expressed the L^wrcncc-St.George,

with Coroner Dr.L.C.Bachand presiding, into the deaths of Mrs.Aime Couture, Henry Hebert and Hector Paris, killed in an ¦auto accident on Saturday night last, when the auto in which they were riding was struck by a train on the Lennoxville road opposite the Morris farm.\tr The chief evidence heard at ths inquest was thàt of Miss Beatrice Raymod, the only surviving member of the fatal automobile trip.Miss Raymond\u2019s evidence was secured when the coroner and jury, of which Mr.Dolor Rousseau was president, visited her bedside at the St.Vincent de Paul Hospital and received her evidence regarding the very unfortunate affair.In her evidence, Miss Raymond said that the party of four had left the city with the intention of having a drink of wine.They had gone along the Lennoxville road and then turned down a side road opposite the Morris farm.It was on their way back that the car was struck.She could not say exactly what happened, but she remembered some one of the party scream \u201cHere comes a train,\u201d and that was all she remembered.She said that it was understood when the party left the city that they could be gone only a very short time as Paris, who was a newcomer on the local police department, was on duty and would have to put in his alarm.During her evidence she said that the two girls were sitting in the rear seat of the car and that the men were in the front.Trainmen Also Hoard The other witnesses heard last night at the inquest were five trainmen, namely, G.H.Roy, conductor; Pierre Allard, brakeman; Aime Lavoie, brakeman; James S.McNaugh-ton, engineer, and Edouard Tremblay, fireman.All of the evidence given by these witnesses agreed and showed that the engine and caboose, which struck the automobile, was travelling about fifteen or eighteen miles an hour.The doomed auto had I.n lights, according to the evidence of the trainmen, and the train was brought to a standstill about two hundred feet from the scene of the accident.The other witnesses questioned, but who gave less important evidence, included Aime Conture and John Gervais, who brought the bodies of Mrs.Couture and Paris to the morgue.The exact time of the accident, according to the trainmen, was 8.45 p.m.standard time.No Inquest to be Held in Drowning Accidents Speaking to the Record this morn-in, Coroner Dr.L.C.Bachand stated that an inquest would not be necessary in connection with the drowning accident which claimed the lives of Charles Young and 0.Bergeron.Yo-ung and Bergeron, it will be remembered, were drowned in the Magog River on Saturday night last.Young\u2019s body was recovered on Monday afternoon but as yet no trace has been found of Bergeron\u2019s body.«$.-j.4* *>\t* *;\u2022 *;\u2022\t-j*\t\u2022£?4* C* LENNOXVILLE 4*\tv General
