obtain better freight races, at thie port, is to improve the aids to navigation.This 18 the sum and substance of the evidende given by Mr.D.A, Watt, of the Allan line, before the Royal\u2019 Grain Commission yesterday afternoon.In reply to a question as to whether he could make any suggestions for reducing the cost of transportation, Mr.Watt said that there was always the question of improving the St.Lawrer route and the route to St.John.In the St.Lawrence what was needed was deeper water between Montreal and Quebec, and improvements in lights and other aids to navigation.He found that the pilot system below Quebec was a close corporation, and he thought that shipmasters and competent navigators should be allowed to obtain licenses to take their vessels in and out.At present this was optional, but fees had to be paid just the same.With- required improvement.St.John was a difficult port to make, and he considered that the disabilities of the port should be taken up by the Dominion Government.Mr.Wait was of the opinion that the reason why se much Canadian grain is shipped by American ports is that Manitoba grain comes usually late in the season.New York and other American ports, he pointed out, were open all, the year round.Rates were slight- lv higher here than in New York, although.the rate to Montreal showed a shade in favor of Montreal.From, New York ic was possible to find more accemmodation and more facilities to reach other ports.Rates from Buffalo to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Newport News were lower than to Montreal.Mr.F.W.Thompson, of the Ogilvie Flour Mills Company, expressed - himself in favor of government inspection of cleaning.He also declared that in his opinion the present \u2018act was sais factory.Under the old system \u2018there were changes from month to month and from year to year.{ mixing, the ] \u201cclared, \u201cwas the best.The integrity | was preserved and «he buver was prof tected.Wheat gathered in his com pany\u2019s elevators, he sid, was found to he slightly better than that from public elevators.- Mr.Thompson further said be was in favor of bonding and licensing elevators.Elevators should be held responsible for grain stored there.He warted the same responsibiliiy laid.upon other elevators.as that which the Ogilvie Company voluntarily assumed in Fort William after the recent accident.Discussing the merits of rail and water routes, Mr.Robert Meighen.of the.Lake of the Woods Milling Company, said chat it was a question of time.It was not possible to get wheat in Brandon on Oct.25 and send it by the St.Lawrepce to England.The canals were not a great factor.He thought that only ten percent of Canadian producis used the canals.Tle would leave the canals ax they are, but he was not in favor of spending any more on them.He wanted railway development, and.thought.that with elevator facilities improved east of the lakes.it would be possible to carry the freight cheaper to Montreal.He advorated free ports_at_ Montreal.Quebee, St.John and Halifax.Asked about blends, Mr.Meighen said that they did this to mit themselves.They were Manitoha millers and were honest geographically.Thee conld not use Ontario grain.Mr.Alex.MeFee said he bought in Fort William and used water.water and rail.and -all-rail routes to Montreal, verv little by all-rail.The increase of tonnage on the lakes brought the service to the requirements.He considered that shortage should not exceed one bushel in a thousand.if the grain was properly laid in and laid out.Ontario grain was purchased on the hasis of Atlantic port weights.Very little shortage was found.Probably three bushels to the car.The mixing of grain in United States norta attracted Canad\u2019an grain there.Nr.McFee declared.and told acainst Montreal.If there was proof «hat this was being done there, why not allow it to be done here, he asked.and al- Jaw the grain to have seaboard insneo- tion here?The tendency was for Canadian grain to go to American ports where the re-inspection gave the erain an advantage not possessed in the Canadian norte.Ic was thought that the Faglish buvers would accent the Canadian grain.but the English buyers did not art lnvallyv.and had taken advantage of the situation.Fnzlsh buvers were purchasine degraded wheat at a lower yrice.an English merchant wowld deal in a dezraded certificate from » foreien port.we

To allure her to heaven he has placed it on high And the mourner will sweetly obey.There had whispered a volce\u2014'twas the voice of her God, \u2018I love thee, I love thee, pass under the rod.\u2019 I saw a father and mother who jeaned - On the arms of a dear gifted son, And the star in the future grew bright to their gaze As they saw the proud place he had won; And the fast coming evening of life promised fair, And its pathway grew smooth to their eet, And the starlight of love glimmered bright at the end And the whispers of fancy grew sweet.And 1 saw them again bending low o'er the grave \u2018Where their heart's dearest hope had been laid, And the star had gone down in the darkness of night And the joy from the bosom had fled.But the healer was there, and his arma were around.And he led them with tenderest care: And he showed them a star in the bright upper world\u2014 \u2018Twas their star shining brilliantly there!

EXCLUDED.Fredericton, N.B., Oet.5.\u2014The newly organized New Brunswick Fish and Game Club, which proposes to tie up 1,700,000 acres of land in Victoria and Madawaska counties, will not be able to exclude the \u2018| general public from the enjoyment of bunting rights on their land, if the government of New Brunswick can prevent it.On Wednesday night, at a meeting of the executive, Premier Tweedie, acting Surveyor-General, stated that the matter had been brought to his notice by several leading newspapers .and game protective organizations that the New Brunswick Railway Company\u2019s lands will be transformed into a large preserve.He said that the understanding was that the general public was to be excluded from bunting on such lands.\u2018Lhe teeing has been strongly expressed that such action would be detrimental to the public interest, and the acting Surveyor- General was instructed\u2019 to inform the company that such action as they proposed will be looked upon with great disfavor by the government and legislature.So far as hunting rights are concerned, legislatign would undoubtedly be sought to thwa®t them in such action.It is ithe view of the government that the wild lands of the province, whether owned by private individuals or by the Crown, should all be in the same position in regard to the hunting and taking of game.While it is true that the vast area unfortunately granted to the ew Brunswick Railway Company thirty-five years ago has always been treated ag wild lands, and not subject to taxation, it is open to the government, if an effort is to be made to use the property in a manner detrimenta] to the public interest, to impose a tax in proportion to their value.The government {is fully alive to the great importance of the question, and will take all possible steps to protect the public interest.\u2014 WATERWAYS COMMISSION THE CANADIAN SECTION DISCUSS BOUNDARY LINE IN LAKE ERIE.Toronto, Oct.4\u2014At a meeting of the Canadian section of

commissioner sent to the Domimon .by the British Board of Trade, to investigate trade conditions, and to inquire whether any steps could be taken to improve and increase the trade be- tweea the Mother Country and Canada, arrived in the city yesterday, after completing his tour of the west.The great and potent fact regarding the western -portion of the Dominion, be said, \u2018is that there are in it at the present time more opportunities for a large number of people than are to be found in any other = country in the world.The resources of the country are beyond the power of words to des cribe, and the people are inspired with an\u2019 unquenchable optimism.What this spirit will lead to in the future it is easy, In a general way, to foresee.We went through to Vancouver and Vie- toria and met the men of affairs in both cities.We went through the canneries of Vancouver and found the operators face to face with a serious shortage of men, a condition which prevailed throughout all parts of the western Provinces.The question of labor is an acute one, and is the subject of much consideration at the hands of all who are interested in the development of the country.All the interests of the provinces, such as canning, lumbering, dairying, = bop-growing, fruit-growing, ete., are in excellent condition, and the entire country is enjoying a high de gree of prosperity.The possibilities of fruit-growing would seem to be almost limitless and the area available for this purpose can readily be greatly increased by\u201d the introduction of simple meth- of irrigation.I never \u2018saw such magnificent fryit nor trees of a form so nearly perfect as in British Columbia.At Edmonton I joined the party of mahufsotutors and observed that they had one and all been effected by the optimism of the country and bad formed the most sanguine expectations of its future.All of northern Alberta, north and south of the city of Edmonton, is suggestive of wonderful development in the future, I am not able to guess what the sentiments, opinions and ideas are to be of the people who ere to kve \u2018on these plains, but whoever they will be and whatever their opinions, they are going to rule this country for better or for worse.I met a number of the farmers and business men of the west and I did not meet one gissatisfied man.Large numbers of Americans are coming in and are taking \u2018a very prominent part in the development.No country could have a better endorsement than the continued influx of this class.This is absolute and unquestionable endorsement.These men \"have heen acquainted with conditions similar to those which pre- L s They came ret in small bodies, tested the eoun- ty, apd: reported it to be good.Now others\u201d are coming in ewarms.They are enriching themselves and developing the country.The opinion of one of these pradtical farmers is worth more than the opinion of fifty colonists, ignorant of farming in any country.There can be but one future for the country to which they are now moving in such large numbers, based as it is on the most substantial of all economic foundations, the agriculturists.\u2019 Being asked regarding the labor situation in British Columbia, Mr.Grigg stated \u2018that all interests were suffering from Jack of workmen.In the lumber woods very large wages were being paid, resulting in a high price of lumber to the farmer on the plains.The salmon catch was small and it was with the greatest difficulty that the canners had - secured a sufficient number of men to handle it.If the year had been a banner one there would have been no possibility of canning\u2019 all the catch, Formerly the Chinese did part of this work, but they were decreasing.The same was true of the Indians.In the fruit regions growers were beginning to ask what they were to do in the future, Next year the increase in the number of trees would be very great and the increase in the number of available workmen would not be large.The hop-growers were also deeply interested in the question of the supply of labor.The hop-growers needed very little help during a large part of the season, but in the picking time required \u2018a large force.Where these work people were to be found was the question before the growers at the present time.; \u2014 OUTREMONT COUNCIL TAXES WILL REMAIN THE SAME AS LAST YEAR.A -meeting of the Council of Outre- mont was held on Wednesday night, at which Mayor Joyce presided.The Councillors present were Messrs, Gorman, Robson, Arthur, Robinson, Beaubien, Vallieres and Lamoureux, his two sons, all fishermen at Bal- ;

flour trade is active with a steady flow of orders from town and country distributors, and the recent improvement in the British market has caused increased ectivity in export trade.There is no change

satisfactorily, snd fundamentals are so thoroughly favorable.In view of the important announcements to be expected soon, though the market may once in a while show hesitation and ever irregularity.we feel confident that purchases of these shares, as well as the Steels and Coppers, on the reactions, will pot be without good profits, and advantage should especially be taken should the openirg {o-day prove weak to buy.- Chas.Head & Co.\u2014The outlook for the bank statement is exceptionally favorable, and we expect higher prices before -the end of the week.BE.& C.Randolph\u2014Men who are watching the mggrket closely say that they see nothing that foreshadows a lessening in activity, or that indicates a lower level of prices Ir the near future.McDougall & Cowans.\u2014Rumors are current that rather serious differences of opinion have arisen among the negotiators of the ore deal.Nevertheless, Steel Common showed remarkable strength yesterday considering the pressure that was applied to it.For the time being it seems not unlikely that the market may seek a lower level.MONTREAL EXCHANGE QUOTATIONS.Reported by J.B.Picken: Between Banks.New York funds 1-64\u2014Par.Sterling,

Milo M, Belding, the silk importer; 8.F.McKinnon, a merchant of Toronto; Robert Mackay, a capltallst, of Montreal; John Macfarlane, a wholesale baper manufacturer, of Montreal; George W.Sadier, and James Robinson, of Montreal; W.K.George, of Toronto; Leroy W.Baldwin, H.M.Belding, jr., Duncan D.Parmly and Charles A.Henderson, of New York; Edward L.Gould, of Brant- ford; John Fiett, of Toronto, and Delos P.Phelps, ot Chicago.The McClure Adjustment Company, the plaintiff, was organized a little while ago to undertake such cases as that of the International Mercantile Agency.It holds now $1,200,000 worth of stock of the Mc- Caulay concern, which was purchased by the public and which it alleges was sold for the interest of the defendants named.This stock has been assigned to it, ana the complaint in the case sets forth in substance that each ome of the defendants who were directors of the Internationai Mercantile Agency became such at the solicitation of McCaulay, and for the consideration of allotments of stock ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 shares.Further, the charge is set up that the reputation and prominence of these men were the means by which McCaulay deluded the publie, especially the cllents of the McClure Company.In this action $1,600 iz sought to be recovered from the defendants, but it was explained yesterday by Mr.Duncan Me- Clure, president of the MoClure Company, and George B.Sidener, its general counsel, that the case was more of a test than anything else.although they felt sure of ultimately obtaining judgments for the entire $1,200,000.TORONTO MARKETS Toronto, Ont., Oct.§\u2014Flour\u2014Ontario\u2014 Sales are being made for export to Scotland of 90 percent patents at $2.75, In buyers\u2019 bags, outside.Manitoba, $4.40 for i first patents, $3.90 for second patents and $3.80 for bakers.Millfeed\u2014Ontario\u2014Bran, $15 to $15.50 ;

and to this end we suggest that either one of the two following plans might wisely be adopted: (A) Let there be created a central bank of iesue similar to the Bank of Germany or the Bank of France; such bank to deal exclusively with banks; Its stock to be owned in part by banking Institutions and in part by the government: but in its management represertatives of the government shall be supreme.This central bank shall issue currency, re-discount for other banks, hold public money, apd act as the agent of the government in redeeming its paper 1noney, and making its dishurse- ments, or, (B)Let any national bank, whose bond- secured circulation equals 50 percent of its capital, have authority to issue addittonal notes equal in amount to 35 percent of its capital.Let such additional notes be subject to a graduated tax, as follows: The first 5 percent taxed at tho rate of 2 percent per annum; the second 5 percent taxed at the rate of 3 percent; the third 5 percent taxed at the rate of 4 percent: then an issue equal to 10 percent of cupl- tal, taxed 5 percent; then an issue equal to 10 percent of capital, taxed 6 percent.Let the proceeds of this graduated tax constitute a guaranty fund, in the custody of the govercment, for the redemption of the notes of falled banks.To insure the prompt retirement of notes when not needed, let redemption agencies be established at eub-treasuries and other convenient points.Let all the notes of a bank be alike In form, and let it be the duty of the United States Treasury, as at present, to redeem all the notes of a failed bank in full on presentation, from the 5 percent redemption fund, and after the exbaustion of that fund, from the guaranty fund.2.That the law restricting the retirement of national bank notes to $3.030,000 per month by the deposit of lawful money, be repealed.3.That future Issues of United States bonds be not made available as a basis for the issue of national bank notes.4.That the laws regulating the operations of the United States Treasury be amended in such à manner that they shall not, as now, interfere with the money market, and to this end we suggest a law requiring that all money In the general working balance be deposited in national banks.CHEESE BOARDS Kingston, Ont., Oct.5.\u2014Boarded 601 colored and 390 white cheese;

London, Oct.4.\u2014The tendency of Cana- dlan farmerc to concentrate their energies upon cheese rather than Lutter, has conduced to a shortage, in tbe supply here, and a rise of twopence per pound is

latter at ne village.A faint echo repeated the notes in a confused, uncertain manner, and as it died away, Nora thought she heard the sound of something near her moving.She stood up and lookin around\u2014 again Rosel\u2019s voice, more lou than ever, was heard beneath, - but scutcely had the last note been uttered Leite the wooden walls of the shed wet: shaken in a remarkable manmer\u2014

some dis tance beneath, whence, flourishing his arms in the air, he shouted vociferous- lv; afterwards, to Nora's infinite amusement, he sprang to the ground, and approaching her deferentially, he raised his Land to his temple, in military salute.I am very glad to see you, Seppel,\u2019 she said, smiling, \u2018 for J was afraid that the bright moonlight had tempted you once more to go out with

\u2018Can vou tell me where my cousin is, just now ?asked Nora, a little impatiently.\u201cYou mean the young gentleman,\u201d said Seppel, with a perplexed air.\u201cYes.I want to see him, or send

\u2018perhaps the forester has brought down a buck.\u2019 Not likely,\u201d said Rosel, \u2018for he has lately been watching one in that direction for the lady from Vienna, who is going out newt week with Count Walde- I'm afraid it must be the wild hunters.\u2019 * Well, T shouldn't wonder if it were,\u2019 said Seppel, \u2018and precious bunglers they must be to require so much lead for a single buck, on such a night as this, when one can aim as at a target.\u2019 Anything,\u201d rejoined Rosel, \u2018is better than a meeting with my father and Franz.I hope they have ahot the buck and made

frugal supper, Nora croseed the ravine with Madeleine, and questioned the Tyrolean sennerin about her cousin John.The girl, however, could give no information concerning him, excepting that he was well, and not likely to return to Almenau for some time, She accompanied Nora back to the miler\u2019s hut, and remained there until Rosel and her mother retired to the sleeping-room, where they shared a Ralllasse on the floon with Madeleine.Nora, who professed to be neither tired nor drowsy, then seated herself outside the open door of the hut, and lcoked at the moon and stars, the trees and distant mountains, listening to the sound of the cattle-bells, while thinkin of Seppel and Rosel, Jack and the wild- schuetz, the forester and his son, Torp and Irene, Waldemar, St.Benedict's, and the ball there.It was strange she fclt so little fatigued, after having danced so much, and slept but a few hours the previous night-\u2014she supposed her anxiety about Jaok kept her awake.She would go to the Tyrolean sennerin at the other side of the ravine, in\u2014the\u2014morning.Very odd that the moon seemed: to dance \u2014no, it was only the reflection in the water of the spring, retained in

hours passed over as if they had been so many minutes.She was awakened by the murmuring of voices mot far distant from her, and, on opening her eyes, she perceived two men at the [ountain, below the but.One sat at the end of the water-trough, in a desponding attitude, the other stood leaning lightly against the upright stem that served as conductor to the water which flowed incessantly, and in a profusion only common in wooded mountainous districts.As soon as Nora discovered them to bé the forester and his son, she rose and approached them; the former raised his hat for a moment, and then, replacing it on ais head, drew it over his eyebrows with a vehement jerk; the latter held his in his hand, while expressing his surprise at 4nding her at the .\u2018I heard of your having gone out,

was there he blackened his face, muttered the forester, with closed teeth, \u2018We found him sleeping as quietly as we could have desired,\u2019 continued Nora, \u2018and intend to go again to the kiln before midnight.\u2019 \u2018Then Jon must wait four-and-twenty hours, Miss Nora, for midnight is long past.\u2019 Nora looked at her watch and found he was right.\u2018I am afraid,\u2019 she began, hesitating, \u2018they have shot the roebuck you were keeping for the General.\u2019 \u2018The buck\u2019s safe, replied the forester, grimly, and so is Franz, though they ait- ed well, considering the distance;\u201d while sptaking, he snatohed the hat from his son\u2019s hand, and put his fingers through two holes in it, as if to show the direc tion taken by the bullet.LL \u2018Good heavens! vou have had a conflict with the wildschuetz, after all!\u2019 Yes\u2019 said_the forester, sternly; \u2018the long uetz fired at Franze, and\u2014and then\u2014I shot

CHILDRENS CORNER A REWARD OF HONOR.Her name was Honor Elizabeth Capen, but grandpa always called her \u2018Honor Bright.\u2019 She loved reading better than anything else, and was never so happy as when curled up in some cozy corner with a story book, says a writer in \u2018The Youth\u2019s Companion.\u2019 One vacation Honor went to visit her grandpa.He was a minister, and had a large library.The moment Honor saw that delightful, book-filled room, she gave a cry of joy and rushed toward the shelves.But grandpa was afraid she read too much.\u2018Honor Bright,\u201d said he that evening, \u2018would you like a turquoise ring?\u2018A turqnoise ring! Oh, grandpa!\u2019 cried Honor.\u2018Yes,\u2019 said grandpa, \u2018I'll give you the very prettiest one I can find if you will not open a single book or magazine for a week.\u2018A week\u2014not read for a whole week!\u2019 gasped Honor.\u2018Wouldn't you like the ring, Honor Bright?\u201cYes, grandpa.\u2019 \u2018Then will you try to earn it?\u2018Yes, grandpa,\u2019 said Honor.The first days.of that long, storyless week passed very slowly.Then at last it was Sunday again.\u2018To-morrow I can read,\u201d said Honor, he ppily.That afternoon a steady rain set in.Grandpa had a caller, and grandma went upstairs for a nap.Honor, left to herself, wandered into the library.The big room seemed very dreary, and she wished she could .think of something perfectly splendid to do.Suddenly a bit of something red caught her eye, wedged in between the wall and the ehelf above.She gave a pull, and down came a book\u2014a very old and ragged book\u2014'Uncle Tom's Cabin\u2019\u2014and Honor had never read it.Hour after bour flew by.The rain stopped, the fire died down, .twilight shadows crept into the room, and still \u201cHonor Bright, deep in the story, read on and on and on.\u2018Honor! Honor!\u2019 called grandma at last, \u2018Where are you?Grandpa has gone to the vesper service, but he left this for Honor Bright.*- Honor opened the tiny box dreamily, land saw the little ring with the shining blue stones.\u2018Try it om, dear, eaid grandma.\u2018I'm sure you deserve it\u2014little Honor Bright.But in a twinkling the little maid was out of the house and splashing through the puddles to the ohurch across the street.\u2018I would never be Honor Bright again if 1 kept it!\u2019 she sobbed.Grandpa was just entering the church when Honor overtook him.\u2018Here\u20199 the ring, grandpa,\u2019 she -whis- pered.\u2018I forkot and read all the afternoon, so I mustn't keep it a single minute\u201d Then grandpa kissed her tenderly and said softly, \u2018Of course not, my dear Honor Bright.\u2019 The next week Honor went home, and two months later, on her birthday, a little box came to her from grandpa.It contained the turquoise ring, inside of which, in tiny letters, was engraved, \u201cHonor Bright.\u2014Ram\u2019s Horn.DAILY TEXT.October 5.Be ye aldo ready;
