No. 2 Ottawa, August 4.â€"â€"These are holi- day days at the capital, and only a handful of ministers are left to carry on the affairs. of the state. The portfolios of those ministers now overseas are spread among- those still here; and when one or another of the latter go away for a few days the additional burden has to be as- sumed by one of the five or six still remaining at Ottawa. Thus we have Hon. Mr. Elliott, the Postmaster- General, acting as Minister of Agriâ€" culture; we have Hon. Mr. Ilsley, who is Minister of National Reve- nue, subbing for Hon. W. D. Euler (on his way from Russia to Holland) as chairman of the sub-committee on wheat. Then when Mr. Ilsley goes down to the Maritimes for a few days the chairmanship of the wheat committee passes along to Mr. Howe. What happens, if at this juncture, Mr. Howe also has to leave the capi- tal for a few days it is a bit diffi- cult to calculate. Of course with so many ministers away, affairs don’t move very fast, and the most vital and important decisions are put over if possible. (Vital Matters to Settle) But there are two or three things which must be settled at once, inâ€" cluding the fodder problem in West- ern Canada, .and the minimum price of wheat which is to prevail for the next few weeks. The government has been giving close attention to these matters. The registration of the unâ€" employed and the launching of schemes to relieve the jobless are 'also matters which cannot wait. Some progress is being made in that field also. There are now said to be- 700,000 cattle in Alberta and a large addi- tional number in Saskatchewan 1'01“ Which some help will be necessaryj unless rains come immediately andI assist the feed situation. After ai 'complete canvas of the situation there are four alternatives: l The National Emplloymentt Com- mission is holding meetings, work- ing on a census of the unemployed, and studying a large number of plans put forward by individual societies, firms and organizations calculated to provide work. (a) destroy a large number, as is done in the United States, taking the culls out, of course, and the govern- ment compensating the farmers; (b) have the canners and other inferior animals taken out and processed for sale with the assistance of the pack- ing houses; (c) move feed from areas where it is plentiful to where it is scarce and (d) move cattle from drought areas 'to eastern Canada or some other region where its feed is more plentiful. The first alternat- ive has been ruled out with some finality by the government; but it is almost certain that all of the other three will be employed to some ex- tent. There is some difficulty in finding adequate feed supplies close at hand. The usual surplus of hay in northern Alberta. is said not to be available this year. The packing companies have offered to assist in processing up to 100,000 head of the thinner cattle, if guaranteed against loss in the transaction. While this would be a big proposition it would only touch the fringe. There is still a hope of disposing some cattle to Russia in exchange for oil and other products. Farmers in Ontario have in many areas some surpluses of feed, but they cannot carry many cattle over the Winter, their shelter in most cases being only sufficient for their own needs. Copious rains in the drought belt any time up to the 10th or 15th of August would materially alter the whole feed complexion; but if they do not come the least that can be said is that a very serious state will prevail and all resources of prov- ince, dominion, railways and private industry will he needed to avert a costly loss of livestock. (That Minimum Price) u The federal government is not disâ€" posed to do anything final about the minimum price of wheat for the forthcoming year until at least they have reports from their ministers now overseas. A statement is being made from Winnipeg concerning what will be done between the beginning of the new crop year (August 1st) and such time as a decision can be made. With current prices soaring above last year’s minimum, it is quite possible that the government will feel that its duty will he done if it repeats last year’s price. There is, however, pressure being brought to bear by some western organiza tions to raise the minimum. Some schools of thought, on the other hand. are disposed to advocate that the minimum price should be dropped a1â€" together. The act which created the board does not give them any option in this matter however. They must set a minimum price: but this price in turn must be approved by the ministry at Ottawa. Ottawa Spotlight By Wilfrid Eggleston WAY BACK IN LIBERAL FILES The Queen’s Hotel stables, Aurora, were totally destroyed by fire at midnight on Tuesday. It is said that five horses perished. The hotel was saved by the heroic efforts of the fire brigade.

Elgin Mills, had :1 narrow escape from fire on Thursdiy evening about twenty minutes twice the hands left for the night. A live deposit from the smokestaok, which alighted on the stable and other buildings was the cause of the triuble. The hay was on fire, and a hole was burned in the tannery roof which Booked dangerous for a time. Had the fire broken out a half hour later, when few were around, it would have been impossible to have saved the place. The Quarterly Board in connection with the Methodist circuit met on Monday and transacted the regular business. The new ministers, Revs. McCulloch and Paul, were present with the Board for the first time. The Board fixed the salary for the year at $850 for the superintendent, and $500 for the junior pastor. Ar- rangements were made for resusci- tating the classes and auditors were appointed in connection with the Par- sonage Trustee Board. Ellis Harman, who had been fore- man on Yonge Street north for the past seventeen or eighteen years, and for some time past keeper of toll gate No. 4, died at his home near Newmarket on Saturday evening. Funeralvtook place to Aurora Ceme- tery on Monday. Lacrosseâ€"Bolton 3, Richmond Hill 2 Although last Saturday was not an ideal one for the national game, yet the match played at Bolton between the home team and Richmond Hill was witnessed by a large number of enthusiastic spectators. Remember- ing the close play of those two giant teams in their match two weeks be- fore, the most reckless admirer of either club could not expect to see a walkover when they again met. The contest on Saturday showed that those two teams were pretty evenly matched, but although the score at the end of fivo hours was 3 to 2 in favor of Bolton, the writer is backed up in his opinion by scores of others who saw the match, that in a good field and under ordinary conditions the Hill team will carry off the palm of victory. Before the game start- ed the Richmond Hill captain hand- ed in a notice of tWo protests aâ€" gainst their opponents. The first complaint was that three of the B01- ton men, Warbrick, Percy and Scott. had played with Cobourg and conse- quently were ineligible to play Sat- urday’s match as members of another club. The other charge was that thc distance between the flags was less than 100 yards, whereas the C.L.A rules call for a minimum of 125 yards. It was evident to everybody that the visiting team suffered a great disadvantage playing on grounds 25 yards shorter than their own, and dozens of times the ball would be completely thrown far he- hind the flags 'from the opposite end of the field. No person can blame our boys for seeing'that opposing teams adhere to the rules laid down in the Constitution. Nevertheless, if Saturday’s match is finally given to the western men we may expect to witness some interesting lacrosse games during the remainder of the series. Dr. Roberts of Brampton, refereed the match in an able and ‘impartial manner and was loudly “heered by both teams at the close. The usual cheers were given by the opposing teams.

The proprietors: are advertis- ing for girls who can run sewing machines. Mr. H. A. Nicholls has greatly imâ€" proved the interior of the Standard Bank by a covering of metallic pan- els on the walls and ceiling. The ‘work was done by Mr. George S. Sims. It will be painted and tinted and when finished will look well. The construction of the new James Bay Railway station is being rapidly pushed along, and it is now hoped the Village Council will be able to secure a strip of land in order to widen Centre Street, east of Yonge, to the station. SUNDAY RECREA I‘lUN What do you do on Sundays? We hope you go to church for it is good 'for your body as well as your soul. iBut what about the rest of the day? Apparently we have but one idea; we jump into our car, or somebody else’s, drive as fast _and as far as we can, pick up an indigestible gulp- and-run lunch at some roadside stand en route, lose our tempers over the bad manners of all the other motor- ists, fret ourselves over endless de- lays at ‘main intersection-s, inhale ex- haust fumes instead of exhilarating country air and get back after mid- night, tired, irritable, all keyed up and depressed because vye didn’t meat the previous Sunday’s record. What a start for the Week! The Toronto and York Radial Rail- way Company has given orders for the building of six new cars similar «0 modern coaches lately put on the Mimico line, to be used on the ex- tension from Newmarket to Jack- son’s Point and Sutton. These cars will cost over $40,000. A very pleasant event took place Monday afternoon of this week, a- bout 11/2 miles east of this village,i when the framework of a large and thoroughly upâ€"toâ€"date barn was rais- ed on the farm of Homer Brothers, who for over 20 years have given unqualified satisfaction as milk sup- pliers for Richmond Hill. The new structure is 40x80 feet, on high stone ’walls, giving excellent accommoda- tion for horse stables, cow stables and roots. The stone work was done by Mr. E. Glover of this place and the framework by Mr. Frank Smith and Brother of Edgeley. A very large crowd was present at the raisâ€" ing on Monday, more than 300 hav- ing sat down to tea after the build- ing was erected. Mr. Henry Bond and Mr. Albert Williams were ap- pointed captains, and they in turn selected their men for the exciting ‘contest. Everybody seemed prepar- Ied to do as his leader told him, ev- erybody seemed boiling over with good humor, and the several parts of the building went together without 'ors finally fell to Mr. Bond Whose men raised the south side of the barn. Many of the ladies who atâ€" ‘tended assisted in serving an excelâ€" lent tea on the lawn. Homer Bro- thers are to be congratulated on the ‘fine building erected, and we shall repeat here what we heard many iothers say that Smith Brothers and their genial helpers are deserving of much credit for the able manner in which lchey did their part of the work. a hitch.
