[" 3 are particularly heavy.te Ars Gnnatian Glexner Hurrusenox, 0 EE 1904.NOTES OF THB WEEK \u2014 For the sake of the plundered farmer it is to be hoped the report that tin has been discovered in Manitoba is not correct.It is extraordinary that the gifts of Provi- deuce should be perverted in Canada into means of oppression, but such ia the fact.When petroleurs was discovered in Ontario there was rejoicing, yet the existence of the oil wells was made excuse for levying protective duties that have paid for the wells twenty times over.Brine wells were hit upon, and forthwith à tax was levied on a necessary of life, of which there is still a survival, Nickel was found and a duty placed on imported ore.At the present time the country is taxed to pay bounties on lead and irom, and the owners of gold mines in the Yukon think the government should supply them with water for sluicing.À deposit of arsenic was struck somewhere in Ontario and application was promptly made for a protective duty, which was shelved, however.Instead of the country being taxed to assist the men who grab mines to develop them, everything found beneath the surface should belong to the people, and be worked so as to yield a revenue to the government.Properly worked every discovery of underground riches should contribute to lessen the burdens of the taxpayers instead p.of adding to them.The robbery submitted to under the name of Protection, which is now going on, will excite astonishment in future generations.A statement of the receipts and expenditure of the province for the twelve months ending 30th June has been issued.The income was close upon 5 million dollars: the expenditure was a little over, the deficiency being $49,000.Were it not for subsidies to railway bridges the balance would have been on the right side.The net debt is given as 26% million dollars.Quebec's finances are by no means out of the woods.The C.P.R.announces its intention to issue 25 million dollars more of its stock, raising its capital to 140 millions.The money is wanted to pay for extensions in the west and for the purchase of lines in Ontario.Large as its capital is, a 6 per cent.dividend is paid, and shares sell at 27 per cent.premium.To provide rails for new branches the company is reported to have bought 60,000 = tons in the U.S.at $7 less per ton ps than the trust would sell to an American purchaser.The beneficent working of the U.S: tariff, which enables the manufacturer to sell cheaper to the foreigner than to the home customer, has been illustrated anew.\u2019 The wellknown buyers of butter and cheese, A.A.Ayer & Co., ridicule the paragraph about weights which appeared in the Gleaner of the 18th August.We simply stated what we know, that cuts as to weights are of constant occurrence, and this year It cannot - be that the factory-men are always in the wrong, and the city buyers E always in the right, and therefore the presumption, that the system of weighing carried on under authority of the Montreal board of trade is un- © fair, has ground to stand upon.We know of instances where the cheese was carefully weighed at the factory, ge - - no count kept of half-pounds, and = one pound allowed on each box for shrinkage in transit, yet these cheese 2 were cut by the weigher of the board three in five.We asked Mr Muir, i the secretary of Pertile creek factory, to reply to the letter of Mesers Ayer, but could have entrusted the task to the secretaries of any half doesn.- When a factory on a shipment of © - 28 boxes is cut over 80M it is absurd i.to pretend there isnot something «© wrong, Can Messrs Ayer & Co.tell 28 of a single instance where credit has a been given for over-weight ?Yet + hours, go idle, and the building The Whole Watter of grading hind treal board of trade.It is satisfactory to hear of an Eastern Townships desler having been fined for selling as maple sugar what was half cane sugar.The customer who pays the maple price has a right to get the maple product and not a mixture of brown sugar or glucose.: In the face of the declaration by the president of the C.P.R., Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, that there is not a rolling millin Canada \u201ccapable of producing a rail either economically or effectively\u201d the government has used the discretionary power given it by parliament to clapona duty of $7 per ton on rails to benefit a Yankee concern at the Soo.Adding the bounties it will have a bonus of about$13 per ton.It is announced the U.S.postal authorities have dropped the final \u201ch\" in all words ending in \u201cburgh,\u201d as Plattsburgh, Newburgh, etc., and have abbreviated \u201cborough\u201d to \u201cboro,\u201d and now spells \u201ccenter\u201d as here given.These are changes our own department ought to make, and whiledoing so drop such absurd affixes as \u201ccorners,\u201d \u201cmills,\u201d \u201csettle ment,\u201d which had a meaning when the country was backwoods, but have none now.The depression that exists in business has had the effect of curtailing the strike mania across the lines, yet two large ones are in progress.In New York the building-trade is at a standstill and in Chicago the employees of the stockyards, some 40,000, are still idle.The demands of the men are surprising.Thus the plumbers of Brooklyn have extorted a daily wage of $4.76 for 8 hours\u2019 work.In Toronto trades-unionism has been carried to an extreme.Builders\u2019 laborers refused to handle brick made by non-union men, and brick-layers refused to be served by other than non-union laborers, and so brick-layers and masons, who have no complaint as to wages or season is being lost, John E.Redmond has come to the States on a visit ta see if he can collect $50,000 to ensure the return of of home-rule candidates at the coming general election.Why Americans should have to pay Irish electors to vote for home-rule is not explained.They might naturally suppose they would do so for nothing.Mr Redmond and his associates, who live by the agitation, need the money, however, and there are Americans who enjoy his poor attempt at twisting the lion's tail.The announcement in a cable despatch, that the Rev 8, J.Finch was released on Saturday after serving 6 days in prison because he refused to pay a tax to support a school controlled by the church of England, indicates that the battle on behalf of liberty of conscience has only been half fought.We travelling towards it slowly but the time will come when all connection between church and state will be severed.Imprisoning nonconformists to compel them to keep up schools in which they are placed in an inferior posi tion is a blot on our age, and on a par with the tivil magistrate examining and weighing the doctrinal standards \u2018of the Free church of Scotland.- Stimulated to action by reports from recruiting-sergeants of diff- culty to find material fit for the army, parliament appointed a committee to consider the subject of alleged national physical deterioration, which has just reported.The summary that has been cabled shows the committee failed to find proof of any general decline in the physique of the people as a whole, and that it is to be found solely in the classes from whom the army is recruited.Crowding into the cities, the long hours of factory-life, poor food and poorer housing all contribute to produce degenerates, but weighing dairy products ought te be tematic, 2S takes out of the hands of the Mos- | position, when an artillery duel en- and might be effected in this country, by wise legislation.The committee

fell back 40 miles on the larger town of Lino Yang, the chief station on the Siberian railway south of Mukden.A European army would have followed him closely and renewed the attack, but that is not, as has been shown repeatedly during the war, Jap tactics, which are to wait, after a victory, until all losses are made good.When they do move they are thoroughly prepared.This is good in its way, but it is plain the delay gives time to the enemy also to recuperate.The precious weeks that have elapsed since Kuropatkin retreated to Lino Yang he has made use to throw up earthworks, plant big guns, and receive reinforcements.It is estimated he has, at least, 200,000 men under his command, a large portiôén of whom are cavalry, with several hundred guns.On the morning of the 24th August the Japs in three divisions, commanded respectively by Kuroki, Nodzu, and Oku, began to close in on the Russian sued, stretching over a front of some 20 miles.The Russian advance was strongly posfed on hills, which the Japs carried by night attacks.All along the line the Russians, day after day, slowly gave way, fighting a desperate rear-guard action, and falling back on the main army encamped around Liao Yang.In this preliminary fighting, which lasted 6 days, the Russians are reported to have lost 3000 menand 16 guns., On the evening of the 29th the Japs were within striking distance of Liao Yang and the following morning a regular battle ensued.Besides at- \u201ctacking in front, the Japs vigorously assailed the castefn Russian flank, while a strong body endeavored to get into its fear by moving upward on the west, said to be co-operating with another army which is marching to try and cut the railway between Mukden and Liao Yang.Of the progress of this great battle the despatches tell little and are, as usual, so contradictory that they cannot be reconciled.The latest news will be found on 3d page.Beyond knowing there has been heavy fighting at Port Arthur, nothing definite can besaid.Russian reports are that the Japs, in a number of desperate assaults, have been driven back with fearful losses, and that the fortress is in no immediate danger.On the other hand itis known the Japs have improved their positions by winning several coveted heights and that their batteries are daily creeping closer to the enemy.A statement in his despatch of the 25th August, from Gen.Stoessel to the Czar, is horribly significant.He reports the stench from dead bodies between the lines as unbearable, ORMSTOWN Angelina Granger's sudden death was a shock to Ormstown people.She had kept house

candidates, Mr Bergeron for the house of commons and Mr A, Plante for thelocal house, were honored by the leaders of the party and an assemblage of about 4000 people.Speeches were delivered by F.D.Monk, F.Chase Casgrain, P.E.Leblanc, L.O.Taillon, A.Plante.The meeting was presided over by the mayor of Beauharnoiy, Dr Huot, and the county warden, Mr from St Stanislas, Valleyfield, and 8t Timothy,and reached Beauharnois with over 500 passengers.A special from Montreal, bearing the club Lafontaine, had nearly 400.The day being fine encouraged farmers from the surrounding country to drive to the meeting, which was also well patronized by a good delegation of the fairsex.The almost sudden death of A.Hebert, the much esteemed travelling passenger agent of the N.Y.C.railway, which took place-in Montreal on Sunday, caused much sorrow to his many friends in Valleyfield.A man named Gilbert Girard, aged about 40, employed as deck hand on str.Filgate, was drowned while bathing at Cornwall on Sunday.The remains were promptly recovered and brought to Valleyfield Monday morning.The unfortunate victim had only been a resident of Valley- field the last 3 weeks, having removed from Montreal.He leaves a wife and 6 children.At a meeting of the Catholicboard of school commissioners on Friday, it was decided to open all the schools in town on Sept.6.English tuition will henceforth be compulsory in the advanced classes of the schools under the control of the board.Father Mousseau, private secretary to Bishop Emard, and Rev A.Hebert, attached to the Valleyfield college, areshortly leaving fora 3 years\u2019 theological course in the Canadian college at Rome.; The Valleyfield general hospital will shortly be opened for the reception of patients, Rev mother St Scholastique of the sisters of Provi dence, Montreal, will be superioress of the new institution.Ayoung lad, son of R.deRepentigny, Canada Atlantic bridge tender over the Beauharnois canal, went in

danger, : Out of 18 pupils who presented themselves at the examinations for liamentary election tostart a copious | flow of ink, Mr and Mrs Lacey left on Wednesday on an extended automobile trip will last about ten days.8.Dean, secretary of the co-opera- tive association of Valleyfield, was last week presented with a valuable writing desk, in recognition of the many services rendered the \u2018association, A very dignified and always correctly attired citizen was the victim of an annoying accident last week.While passing thru a west ward street he was accidentally deluged by the contents of a not too sweetly smelling bucket of water carelessly thrown from an upper window.The condition of hisusually good temper, as indicated by his highly expressive and picturesque language, can be better imagined than reproduced in type.Altho the incident is now a few days old, there is still a strong smell of brimstone in the neighborhood of the causus belli.The city council held its weekly meeting on Wednesday.The decision \u2018was given out that the rate of taxation this year would be the same as last year, that is $1.40 on property holdings, plus 10¢ for the liquidating of the city\u2019s uncollectable taxes, making the tax 1% mills on the dol lar.As usual the \u2018granter\u2019 was heard, he was loud and noisy though unable to offer tangible reasons that the rates were too high.The city owes money and it must be paid.A remedy lies, however, with the taxpayers to elect economical aldermen at the next clections.The necessity of a more complete English educational system is gaining many adherentsin many sections of the province.Over adozen French speaking young ladies of Valleyfield will be pupils of the English classes in the convent at Huntingdon.The circle Emard bas purchased 2 Brunswick Balke bowling alleys, which are now being installed in the club rooms.The Auditorium hall is nearly completed.It will havea capacity of nearly 400 and will be used for meetings, lectures, etc.Convenient space has been reserved for the installation of a musical organization.; \u2018The M.Cotton Co.bas completed the addition to the Empire mill tower, which adds to its already massive appearance.The str.Scout passed thru Valley- field Thursday on its way to Montreal.On its trip it placed a gas buoy at Port Lewis, and refilled the various buoys on the channel with acetylene gas.The boat is equipped with a gas generator and air compressor.The Presbyterian 8.8.held their annual picnic on Leduc's farm on Saturday.The Valleyfield band\u2019s services were secured, which made the pleasant outitig still more enjoyable.The drivehomein the evening was much appreciated.On the same day the str.Salaberry was chartered by 8.S.of St Mark's for their annual outing.Port Lews was the point of destination.On arrival a series of games were arranged for the younger element, which took advantage of the beantiful weather and fine grounds to heartily enjoy themselves.A party of lacrosse admirers chartered the str.Chaffey to proceed to Cornwall to attend the National- Cornwall game.Several of Valleyfield\u2019s well known epicures enjoyed a regular Spurwink clam-bake last week.A couple of the N.Y.C.railway\u2019s experienced chefs had charge of the festivities.Clams, shellfish, etc., baked in the orthodox sea weed, were greatly relished.At a meeting of the Heenoed victual- lers, held in Valleyfield Friday evening, L.À.Wilson of Montreal, president of the provincial, association, in the chair, the following resolutions were adopted: 1 Consi that the cities of Montreal, » St Henri, etc, that the number of Licenses gran be limited to the ratio of the popu- law, regulating the granting and issue of licenses, that the majority of of preventin, license; and

McCanse, and the mayor.Moved by Coun Blair, seconded by Coun McCanse, that the road inspector be instructed to open a drain from the Scriver block as far west as may be necessary, 2% feet deep, and as wide as may be needed, to drain the cellars along the west street.The school board met on August 27, all present but the chairman.On motion of Coun Keddy, seconded by Com Cleland, the collection roll for the year ending June 30, 1905, was homologated as presented.On motion of Com Cleland, seconded by Com Kearns, the secy.-treasurer was instructed to notify the manager of district No 5 to have the wood removed from the school grounds at once.Moved by Com Keddy, seconded by Com Kearns, John McNaughton was appointed caretaker of the model school, on the same terms as last year.FRANKLIN CENTRE Mr Black, the student who has been supplying the pulpit of the Congregational church since spring, closed his services on Sunday, as he returns to college.On the evening of the 23d a farewell was tendered him by the ladies of the congregation, taking the form of a social at the residence of Mr Gentle.There was an unusually large attendance and a most enjoyable time was had.The receipts were $53.An excellent yield of apples is assured.Picking the Duchess and Early Astrachan is about over and that of Alexanders isabout to begin.There is a fair demand, the drawback being the high price of barrels; 88ceach at the factory or 41c delivered.ROCKBURN The weather Thursday evening was anything but favorable to the success of a lawn social.yet a fair- sized crowd braved the elements and gathered at the home of Mr William Lindsay, jr.The Chateaugay orchestra was in attendance, as advertised, and lovers of good music were afforded a rare treat.Their next appearance here will, no doubt, be looked forward to with delight.Miss Anderson of Herdman added to the program a reading which was muchappreciated.Proceedsamount- ed to $86.The barn and stable on the Mahoney farm were destroyed by fire Friday evening; and Joseph Nash lost 25 tons of hay, whick he had cut on the place and stored there for convenience.The fire started at sun-down, and how it originated will probably never bé known.The roof of \u2018the horse-stable caught fire several times and was saved with great difficulty.There is no insurance.The sad death of Miss Angie Granger, which occurred at her father's home on Thursday night, has cast a gloom over the entire neighborhood, and the sympathy of the whole community is extended to the sorrowing family.CAZAVILLE \u2018 \u2018The social, held in the large buildings of D.Vass, on Aug.24, wasa success in every respect; the proceeds amounted to $158, .and the attendance about 500.New York, Boston, Lawrenee, Lowel Springfield, Man- chestér, Chicage, Toronto, Brock- ville, Kingston, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec, and Halifax, were all represented.On'account of the great sise of thehall, 30 by 168 feet, it was impossible to earry ont the program by the Rev W.W.McRae, for ap- dent.Everything went off quietly say formality aad all have a social good time.George McKinnon rendered a few eclections on the bagpipes, which were loudly applanded.The ball was decorated with evergreens, lit by acetylene gas, and looked more like à fairyscene.The credit is due the Indies who managed, also] to Mrs Jobn McNaughton, president, and Miss Jessie McArthur, vice-presi- and pleasantly.Sr ANICET A successful picnic was held in My Mr James Curran\u2019s beautiful grove on the 22sd August, upwards of 200 people being present.A programme of vocal and instrumental music, sperts, and dancing kept the crowd lively during the day.In the evening speeches were delivered and there was a fine display of fireworks.The crowd went home well satisfied with the day's pleasure.The organ- \u2018izers were R.Ralph, F.Christian, J.Vaneor, and J.Clegg, a guest.DUNDEE CENTRE The tea meeting at Cazaville under the auspices of the ladies of Zion -church, Dundee, on the evening of Aug.24, was a very successful one, over $160 being realized from the sale of supper tickets and refreshments.The large hall where the supper was served was tastefully decorated with bunting and evergreens and being lighted by acetylene gas presented a very pretty effect.The able manner in which Mrs J.McNaughton and Miss J.McArthur took charge of affairs proved the wise choice of a president and vice- president.The thanks of the congregation are due Mr and Mrs Vass for the trouble and expense incurred by them in bringing the entertainment to such a successful issue.A number of our young men left this (Tuesday) morning for Montreal en route to Manitoba and other points west.te WEIGHING OF CHEESE.To the Editor of the Gleaner.Sir, \u2014We see an absurd statement in your paper regarding the method of weighing butter and cheese in Montreal.Such a statement could only be published without a knowledge of the facts, and we think it is your duty towards your constituents to send a man to Montreal to investigate the weighing; when you have once done this, you will be able to explain to your constituents the real facts, as we feel sure you do not wish to mislead them as your article has done.Yours truly, A.A.Avera Co.(Limited.) Montreal Aug.23.REPLY FROM À.MUm, juxn.To the Editor of the Gleaner Sir,\u2014Having read the above letter from A.A.Ayer & Co., as a farmer | producing milk and manager of a cheese factory for a number of years, I wish to answer it.I consider the paragraph which appeared in the Gleaner of the 18th August regarding dairy produce, a fair and correct report.Take our factory for example.In 1902 we shipped to our agent at Montreal (Gould's Cold Storage) 1070 boxescheese and were cut in weight 139th.In 1903 we shipped to the same cold storage 1357 boxes and were cut 5341b.In June, 1904, we sent in 220 boxes and werecut 1761b.In July, 1904, we sent in 206 boxes and were cut 170fb, Our average in July, 1902, was 10.63f1b.milk to make 1fb.cheese.In July, 1903, the average was 10.87fb.of milk; in July, 1904, it was 11.3415.If a cheese weighs 851b.in factory we mark it 841d, and still we are cut in weight.We hold a certificate from the government inspector that our scales are correct.The system of weighing dairy produce which obtains in Montreal is repulsive to the Canadian farmer.We want our cheese turned on to the scales in bulk and weighed, not five or ten picked ont and weighed singly.I blame the representatives of the people for this obnoxious system, and trust that the federal authorities will take this matter up, as we prefer tobe governed by law, not by men.Yours truly, - À.Mum, Je.The British parliament at its last session passed a \u2018juvenile smoking Prevention act,\u201d which is severe enough in its prohibitions and penalties to encourage the

districts who feel disposed te waite with the village municipality, for a period of 3 years on trial, to form a consolidated school at the village of Ormetown will be compelled to pay their share of the sum of ome thousand dollars ($1000) and the ground purchased for garden and play grounds, we, the undersigned, do positively state that the ratepayers in the surrouadiog districts will have sone of this to pay.We have made this more explicit in the agreement by supplementing two words \u201c\u2018Ormstown municipality.\u201d Theclausenow reads thus 1st, By Ormstown municipality providing a

(b) not less than 2 acres of ground for the necessary play grounds or the school.CANADA Several woolen hillshave closed for a while or reduced their output, giving as their reason that they have not protection enough.The following interview throws another light on their action: Mr Jonathan Hodgson, senior partner in the wholesale dry goods firm of Hodgson Summer & Co., has for many years been largely interested in woollen manufacturing concerns.He was asked by the Herald for his views on the reasoñs advanced by Mr Horsfall of the Montreal woollen mills,for the reduction of the mills\u2019 output, vis: That the British preference makes it impossible to conduct a woollen business profitably.Mr Hodgson said that he had no hesitation in claiming for the present tariff, which is 30 per cent, that it affords ample protection for all woollen industries that are properly managed and possess ample capital.The trouble with too many Canadian mills is that they are devoted to making of low.grade goods, on which the profit is small and the competition keen.The tariff gives all the protection that could be expected if mills are confined to specialties, if they are properly equipped with modern machinery, and if they have plenty of capital.Take the case of the Paton mills at Sherbrooke, remarked Mr Hodgson.Under the high tariff of the Conservatives, in the early '90's, the $100 shares of this company were selling as low as $12.50, Today 1 should like to buy more of them at $75.The company is paying 6 per cent.dividend, and improving its position steadily.Under Mr John Turnbull's efficient management, a high class of goods is being made, for which there is a steady demand.In the case of the Almonte woollen mills, in which I am also interested, the same experience justifies the same conclusion.The concerñ is prospering because it is devoted to special lines, which it is thus enabled to produce at the minimum of cost.Were the tariff any higher I should be disposed to sellmy woollen shares for we would have the experience of the \"80's repeated, over-competition and loss of profits.It is well to remember that under the Foster tarif many woollen mills succumbed to the pressure induced by competition and stock-watering.We should guard against any repetition of these The governor-general is now upon his farewell tour and is determined that this shall have at least one un- .4 4 1 670757 before him.together a class of paying tenants.But as the business developed Father Charest went beyond his depth.He purchased hundreds of vacant lots in the north end of the city and invited deposits from economical people, who were willing to accept him and his institution as their bankers ata rate of interest higher than paid by the savings banks.The Deafand Dumb institution isheld in great respect among Roman Catholics for the good work it is doing, and conse quently Father Charest was able to secure any number of confiding clients.The depositors are chiefly widows and working men and women of small means.They are not likely to lose in the end, because the institution is sure to hold itself responsible for the amounts deposited; but many are likely to suffer somewhat in consequence of the inevitable delays following the untangling of the accounts.Most of the land held by the institution or in Father Cha- rest\u2019s name is valued as city property, altho only so far farm lands.when the people returned to their seats and the crushed and fainting had been taken care of, the voice of the archbishop was heard, resuming in even measured tonesthe panegeric of the dead priest.Quebec, Aug.26\u2014Hon Edward Blake, M.P., arrived here this morning and proceeded to Mnrray Bay to joig Mrs Blake, who came to this country several weeks ago.Mr Blake looked the picture of health as he walked down the gangway and the way he commenced to hustle after his baggage showed that he was in the full vigor of life notwithstanding he has seen his 76th year.Wednesday morning an excursion train left Montreal for Sherbrooke exhibition.It had passed Richmond when the regular train going west was sighted.Before either train could be stopped they collided.Nine were killed and 23 wounded, LATEST St Petersburg, Aug.31\u2014General Sakharoff telegraphs as follows: With the growth of the city, how-# From 5 o\u2019clock this morning until 9 ever, it will in course of time bea good investment.In the competition of Hackneys at St Louis Robert Beith, M.P., of - Bowmanville, had 7 entries, and carried off 5 firsts and 1 third, in competition against the whole of the United States.Quebec, Aug.26\u2014The band of the First Royal Highlanders, better known as the famous Black Watch, arrived in Quebec this morning by the Dominion line str.Canada, and proceeded on board the vessel to Montreal, en route to Toronto.The instrumental band numbers over 60 men and the pipe corps over 20.The men are in excellent spirits and anticipate a good time in Canada.Many people in Montreal at present are laid low with typhoid fever, and the local hospitals have their share of cases.When asked as to the cause of the abnormal number of cases this time of the year, Dr La- berge, civic medical health officer, said that the usual typhoid fever season had arrived a couple of months before it was due.The reason for this was laid upon the heavy continual rains which have characterized the weather for the past few weeks.\u2018You see,\u2019 said Dr Laberge, \u2018If there are typhoid bacilli floating around they fall into the water and are swept down the rivers by the heavy rains, and after the hot summer sun bas beaten down upon the river and lakes, the water is in the best possible condition to development of any baccilli which may

ouly to find the sanitary condition of the house in first class condition.Then .another member of the family came down, and again we inspected the drains, but could find no fault with them.And a week later the 4th member took typhoid.After much we learned that each of the patients had recently returned home from their country place, and wpon examination of the water supply at the country house it

bayonet-fighting.Many positions which had been occupied by the Japanese were re-taken at 4 o'clock in theafternoon.During the artillery attack our batteries did very effective work.About 4 o'clock this afternoon the enemy was observed attempting to turn our right flank with considerable forces, but several battalions of reserves advanced, and after a fierce engagement, checked the Japanese and compelled them to retire, The battle \u2018continued until after dark and only | ended at 9 o'clock.The.spirit of our troops is excellent, and the men are rejoiced over the news of the heroic
