D BLOUGE /O ' In the absence of anything startling in Federal politics this week the pub- lic attention has been mainly attract? ed to Provincial affairs and the speech of Hon. Gr. VV. Ross at Whitby in which he made his first important ut- tera nce as Premier of Ontario and de- fined clearly and categorically the proâ€" gramme am policy of his Government. The address was an admirable elucida- tion of sound Liberalism and covered the ground thoroughly and well, it showed that there was no thought of halting in the progressive development of the Provincial resources but that, stimulated by past success, the Gov- ernment was determined to make the achievements of the future distance in every respect those of the past. Briefly summarized his programme is as follows: Survey and development by means of roads and railways of New Ontario. (2) Improvement of the means of transportation pa) ticulm-ly ‘ the county roads. (3) Reclamation of swamp lands. (3) The storage of per- ishable farm products during the per- iods of low prices. (5) The perfecting within the Province of the trmti'nent of raw materials, such as copper, nickle and iron ore. Such a hill of fare as that should satisfy the most epicurean Oppositionist. GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. Considerable attention was given during the last session of the Federal Parliament to a proposition to create ‘ a Railway Commission, “ clothed with ‘ full power to enforce the conditions of the Railway Act and prescribe and ‘ enforce the observation of such regu- lations as may be necessary in the pubâ€" lic interests,” or in other words to con- trol the railways for the people withâ€" out incurring the Iesponsibility and risk attaching to Government owner- ship. The pioposition commended it- self to the judgment of the House, and while action thereon was deferred in the meantime, the government lb com mitted to give it practical consult-Ira~ tion in the near future. But Sir Charles Tupper had no use 1‘ or the scheme at all, and did not hesitate to put himself upon record as being en- tirely antagonistic thereto. Previous to this he had expressed himself in the stmngest terms as opposed to the Gov- ernment ownership of railways so that the opposition leader has definitely (leâ€" ciared himself as being with the cupi- talists and monopolists, every time,’ and against the people, as represented by the. Government. It will be inter- esting to know to What extent these views are brought prominently to the noiice of his hearers in the course of his preSent trip through the West, for that section of the Dominion is very strongly impregnated with the idea of Government control. FRUIT FOR. COVENT GARDEN. ‘ The effort of the Department of Ag- riculture to improve the British mar- ket for lanadian agriculture products continues unabated and the. results accruing therefrom are developing in a very encouraging manner. The shipments of fruit reaching London are attracting increasing attention as the following extract from the London \Veekly Mail will show 2â€"“ A few days ago a goodly parcel of Canadian peachâ€" es and pears was sold in the (Jovent Garden Market by auction with the most satisfactory results. The peach- es were late Crawfords and Elbertas, and they were particularly good. But the pears, are exceptionally fine, and they made as high as 9s. 6d. per small case. As the result of this sale it is clear that the Californian f1'-uit-grow~ ers will have to look to their laurels. Canadian pears such as the prime An- gus (the variety which made the price quoted) are of finer quality than those sent from California. The fruit reach- es us in better condition, is more aromatic and juicy, and is perfectly adapted for the English trade. GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE BEST. “ The shipment was sent out under the auspices of Professor Robertson of Ottawa, who is specially responsible for the trial shipments which have lately been sent over in small pack~ ages. and there is no doubt that, in future seasons, Canadian pears will secure the patronage of the best buy- ers in the trade, The representative of Professor Robertson who is now in this country informed us that they have now obtained the right tempera- ture to keep the fruit in perfect con- dition while on board the fruit boats, so that nothing stands in the way of large and regular shipments of Can- adian peaches and pears during the autumn months. Millions of both kinds of fruit are promised the trade for next yea r.” The exhibition of Canadian fruit at the Paris Exposition will also prove of immense value in opening the eyes of the World to the resources of the Do- minion. Every care has been taken in selecting the specimens. of which there «vill b9 over a thousand ; so many in fact. that they Will have to be sent in two shipments. THE WAY WE ARE GROWING. The following fragnwntary excerpts from a recent bulletin from the statis- Our Ottawa Letter. tical department are worth perusing: The development of the cheese export trade is marvellous. We sent a little over $500,000 Worth of cheese to Great Britain in 1868, and in .1898 We sent $17,522,681 worth, thus far surpassing the exports of the United Statesm'hich last year to the Mother Country were only $3,267,607. Of the total exports of Canadian manufactures in 1868, cheese only formed 3 per cent. in value. while in 1898 it formed over 31 percent. of the total exports of man- ufactures. The exports, of manufactures of wood, as is quite natural, occupy the highest place, but they have not in- creased, relatively to the others, as rapidly. In 1868 the, exports of man- ufactures having wood as the raw material were. 61.7 per cent. of the Whole. while in 1898 they were 40 per cent. During the thirty years Great Britain has taken of our manufactures of Wood over $258,000,000 worth, while the United States has taken $242,000, 000 worth, leaving Great Britain the better customer by $10,000,000. We have exported since Confederation, i.e. from June 30th, 1868, toJune 30th, lSQSâ€"thirty-one yearsâ€"of home pro- ducts to the value of $2,464,277,239. These. products have, been of the farm, the mine, the fisheries, the forest, the workshop and the factory. The programme is to hand for the. next ammnl Him-ting of the Ontario Ag" 'cultuml and Experimental Union which is to he. held at the Agricultural College, Guelph, starting W ednesday evening, December GLh, and closing Friday afternoon, December 8th. During the past your cooperative experiments wrre mmducted by the Union in Agriculture, Horticulture, Economic Botany, and Soil Moisture. The Agricultural experiments with fer- tilizers, fodder crops, routs, potatoes, g 'ains, grasses, and clovers, were con- ducted on 12,065 pints, which were. sit- uated (m 3,455 Ontario farms ; and the hm'tixrultuml <‘9xperimonts with small fruits were more numerous in 1899 than in any previous year. The sum- mary resulw of these practical experiâ€" ments w1il 1m presentrd at the annual meeting“, and sliculd prove ()f gr lat servicntnuii than! who are engaged in Nl‘ncnicn agriculture. . 'ilw speakers who have been engag- ml t0 midi-leis Lht- numbing are Gnu. T. meli, New Ymk Steve ; Hon. John Dryden, Mun. (films. Drm'y, Prof. Jas. W. Robertson, Prof. U. C. Janna, Jun. 1. Holman.

Creelman, BS.A., etc. As the college was established in 187â€"1, the Quarter Century Anniversary of the institution will be celebrated in a, special way at, the time of the Union meeti rig. 7th and 8th of December. A good opportunity will be nfi’orded those in attendance at the Union meeting to Visit the Guelph Fat, Stock Show, which is to be held 011 the 6th. The (\fiicers 0f the Union and of the College unite in cordially inviting all persons interested in ihe advancmnent of agriculture to be present; at all the sessions 0f the Experimental Union 1.1)9_._e_ting._ The trip to Guelph and return can be secured on the railways in Ontario for a one way fare with: certificate plan.‘ All enquiries regarding railway rates, programmes, etc., should be. sent to C. A. Zzu'itz, Secretary, Agri- cultural Cnllege, Guelph, Ontario. The friends of St. Stephen’s Church held a. parlor social at the lesidence of Mr. T. J. Wilson, Teston, last Friday evening, and realized over $22. After tea was served an en tex-tainment was held in the Grange Hall. The proâ€" gramme was good. but could not be enjoyed on account of the presence of the rowdy element. It is anything but becoming for young men who have been well brought up, and belong to respectable families, to behave as some of them did. A very pleasant social event, was held here on Friday evening, the 18th inst. The occasnon was the fifteenth anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. F. Padgeb. About, sixty people were present and enjoyed the hospital- ity of the host and hostess, who know well how to entertain their guests. The pulpit of the Presbyterian Church is being filled by Rev. Mr. Camp of Toronto, during the pastor’s absence. Venison has been plentiful here this week, as all of the hunters who went to Muskukav succeeded in each bring- home a fine deer. Rev. S. L. W. Hartnn preaclml to the children of the Sabbath School last, Sunday morning, and in the evening Rev. J. W. Stewart preached to par- ents and teachers. Miss Minnie Dilworth and Mr. Fred Rumble of Toronto, were visiting at the home. of the latter over Sunday. Annual Meeting“. Headford. Maple The evening passed quickly to the sweet strains of the violin, and danc‘ ing was indulged in until the wee sma’ hours. At 12 o’clock an excellent tea was served, to which all did justice; After tea. the toast “The Host and Hostess ” was moved by Mr. T. Thom- son in a. neat speech, and seconded by Mr. L. Mapes in a short address. The guests rose and drank the toast, after which Mr. Padget responded grace- fully and expressed his pleasure at meeting so man}: fg‘iends. Mr. avnd Mrs. Padget were the recip« ients of many handsome presents. The following is a list: Card receiver, Mr. and Mrs. G. Padget, Headford; cream and sugar set. MI. and Mrs. T.

Social evening at. the League passed off very nicely. The members of the Headford League gave a. very interest; ing programme consisting of recitm tions, solos and instrumental select- ions. A Reading by Mr. L. Mapes was applauded. The Misses Comisky and Clement gave some acce table selections on the violin and the Iissc's Bar-kerand Smith proved themselves to bevcry fair elocut‘ionists. A solo by Mr. J. Leek is also worthy of spec- ial mention. Mr. Lm'gc also sang that patriotic song, “The Grand Old Army,” with taste and exprosfion. Refresh- ments were Served which all enjoyed, and indeed the whole evening was one which created it very social element between the two ('ii‘gnnizations. A vote of thanks was given the visitors and tl10719110(licti(in closed the first mo living of the two Leagues. Mir. Gr.
