S., on Monday, by a majority of 45. â€" Brandford carried by-laws on Monday to raise $145,000 for water- works and drill shed purposes. â€" The Chesley Enterprise says the Cheslev creamery is a grand success, .- and urges strongly, in a well written article, the general establishment of creameries as a means of increasing the profits of farming and at the same time decreasing very materially the slavishness connected with dairying. â€" A contract has been entered be- tween the Imperial Gcyernment and the Canadian Pacific Railway whereby the latter will receive an annual sab sidy of £45,000 for a monthly steam- ship service between Vancouver and Tokohama and Hong Eong, The Dominion Governroent will supple- ment the above subsidy by £15,000. â€" Another step toward the solution of the question of College Federation has been taken through a vote in its favor by the Board of Regents of Vic- toria University and the members of the Methodist General Conference Advisory Board. The Methodists with their accustomed liberality haye sub- scribed nearly $200,000 toward the â- erectipn of the proposed new buildings. It is probable that the erection of the Methodist University in the Queen's Park in Toronto will be commenced next Spring. TlMlIiMrtan. Standard Correspondmee.
