Plan to Assist Emigrants to Become Farmers. A despatch from Ottawa. says: A scheme is under way to establish a training farm in connection with the Ottawa Union Reserve Mission. It is intended to establish a farm in the vicinity of the capital where applicants for help from the mission can be temporarily looked after and given productive employment in farm work that will be of service in equipping them for an agricul- tural life in the west or on Ontario farms. Many of those who seek shelter at the mission are newly ar rived immigrants who are looking for work on farms, but whose lack of experience in farm life is a, handi- cap in securing empolyment. Result of Inland Revenue Examini ation of Samples. A dcspatch from Ottawa says: The examination by the inland rev- enue department of a number of drugs, as found on the Canadian market, for the purpose of ascer- taining whether any of these con- tained distinct traces of arsenic, shows that while most samples were practically free from the poi- son, arsenic was found to be dis- tinctly present in certain sulphates and particularly in phosphate of soda. The amounts were not so large as to be alarming, but were sufficient to make it impossible to regard those drugs as meeting pro- per requirements; 4_48 samples of sulphate of magnesia, sulphate of soda and phosphate of soda examâ€" ined showed 336 containing no atâ€" senic, while 86 did.

The case went before a jury, which gave Mrs. Marriman a small verdict, but she appealed to the Supreme Court and the decision on Wednesday resulted in a verdict against the saloonkeeper for $5,225. ionship of her husband.

Provides Fund for Ed“: cation of Conétablc Becker’s Son A despatch from Vancouver says: In recognition of the bravery of Special Constable Decker, shot and killed at Ashcroft, on June 28, by a. train robber belonging to the gang that held up the westbound express at Ducks a. week previous, the U. P. R. has set aside a trust fund for the education of the dead man’s son. The company has placed $2,500 with the Royal Trust Company at Vancouver. After the accident it was found that the car had a broken axle, but this is thought to have occurred when the car hit the fence. Auto drivers are of the opinion that a burst tire was 'the cause of the trouble. It happened so quickly that no person could tell exactly how it took place. in the race, and Mr. Bachelder had just turned into the back stretch on the eighth mile, when he turned out to pass Burman, who was immedi- ately in front. The big cars were going at. a terrific speed, and ap- parently Bachelder lost control for the fraction of a second, as he turnâ€" ed out. At any rate his car shot across the track into the fence, through it and over the embankâ€" ment, carrying its driver and his as- sistant to their death. RECOGNITION OF BRAVERY.

A despatch from Guelph says: The Ontario Provincial Winter Fair Board held a meetmg here on Wedâ€" nesday and decided that the prize list this year should total $10,000.

Tht feature of the poultry prize list this year will be the depart- ment of 20 classes or more in pig- eons, to include the birds of 1909 which have been excluded hereto- fore. Realizing that-the showing of fat stock has been in the past the only weakness of the show, the board have greatly increased the prizes for that class. Toronto, July 13.â€"Business was quiet, and prices somewhat easier in consequence of the heavy buy- ing earlier in the week, also that very few choice butchers or exportâ€" ers were on offer.
