Sir Henry Thornton, president of.- the Canadian National Railways, pre-I` diets. that the ra.i1way s net earnings; this year will approximate $25,000,~; 000. This favorable prospect, Sir` Henry says, is partly due to the ex-; cellent crop, but to a much greater`, extent it was due to economies andi increased efciency in the railway` system. | A working agreemnt between the! anthracite mine owners and the; miners seems as far away as even! The United Mine Workers are still; firmly opposed to arbitration. The; mines have now been idle for 21% weeks and the overhead cost to thei operators has reached $20,000,000,7 while the miners have lost $80,000,-1 000 in wages, or 25 per cent. of their` year s income. . _. l I I Premier Kng believes that it wil1'rC] be possible for the House to meet`t on December 10th, and sees no rea-la son why the queson of condencei should not be disposed of in a few (lays.

The medcines and remedies affected are those containing a high percent- age of alcohol and not sufficiently medicated.

There are rumors that Mayor Craig will have opposition if he seeks re- election. Reeve Rusk has intimated that he will not seek re-election as` he has had to neglect his own busi- ness too much. As chairman of Public Works Reeve Rusk has de~ voted much time to the town : in- tezests during the past summer.

BY-ELECTION IN SOUTH SIMCOE IS DISCUSSED Rumors concerning the by-election to be held in South Simcoe are num- ` erous, says the Alliston Herald. That there" will be a strenuous ght there! between the proponents of 4.4 beer and all the forces opposed to the .Government is `beyond question. There is an element among the elec- torate that bears an i;1tense hatred for the mention of the Premier s name and it is this element that will have a candidate in the field in op- positon to the nominee of the Con- servative party. .... .- ,n LL, 1._,1_.. Page Two V -4.. v........, r...--_.. I There is no mention of the leaderli of the opposition in the Legislature, ` `Mr. E. N. Sinclair having so far.l made any recommendation as to what ` ` he would like done by the repre- 1 lsentatives of the Liberal party, nor has rumor busietl herself with the ` ipossibility of :1 Liberal candidate. It ' is the possible advent of Rev. Ben Spence into the constituency when the campaign opens that seems to be ithe chief concern of most people. ' Those who airm that 4.4 beer is an intoxicating` beverage and that the Government of Hon. Howard Fergu- son is due to be hoisted on its re- cord in connection with the O.T.A. vstate positively that the Rev. Ben ilspence will be in the constituency and that he will be on every plat- ; ' form in the riding and arraign the _. Government with all the vigor at his | command. a On the other hand there are the `friends of the Government in the Eiconstituency who state that if the -Rev. Ben Spence comes into South 'Simcoe again he will not have oppor- ,`tunity to address a meeting at one fsolitary place without opposition niore strenuous than anything` of the likind ever offered in the riding`. F It certainly looks as if the people` ' of this constituency are going` to hear " the details of the prohibition issue` Pdiscussed more minutely than theyl 3`have ever been discussed previously` 1 on any platform. But it remains to :be seen whether the voters desire` '` this or not. l Regarding candidates, there are- ialso rumors galore. There is very` fvlittle being said about a U.-F.O. `_| candidate entening` the eld, but .3: there is certainly being` put forth an .` effort to have one in the contest. Just . ,.;last week or the end of the week' ;_;previous there was a deputation of `1.`Gwillimbury and Innisl farmers at over to Crown Hill to invite Hon. E. y p C. Drury to be the farmer candidate in this constituency. Whether they 'got any denite answer or not the `rumor does not state. There is also le 10 r I feet that Edgar Evans, former M.L.A. `for South Simcoe, will again be the `say there is nothing in the story. ` With all the talk about the pro- jhibition issue being the chief factor fin the campaign there is very -little `being said about the identity of the candidate or of the aspirants for the lcandidature of the prohibition party. i, The name of Wilson Kell of Cooks- C` 9 11' la whisper here and there to the ef- . :candidate for the farmer party, butll ;those who are in a position to know .

It . is stated in favor of Mr. Carter that '="`he stepped aside when Earl Rowe ` liwas nominated nearly three years ` -1 ago, and agan when a candidate was 1 being selected for the Federal con- lsiituency Mr. Carter had some am- bition, but stood aside in the inter- l|ests of the party to allow Earl Rowe y to enter the eld unopposed and turn- `lled in and did what he could to --; elect him. T. W. W. Evans of Brad- t' ford is also metnioned as a candidate. r:A. E. Scanlon and J. E.

The man ' `who can carry the constituency with ;the biggest majority is the man be- {ing sought, but there is difference of iopinion as to who this man may be. [For the most part the farmers are [insistent on a farmer being selected isince a farmer has been the repre- isentative for a great many years and ithe constituency is made up almost entirely of electors who follow agri- cultural pursnxits. 1.7.... and +L.nu~ nu . n. 1.1. u\.aAuuu uuu u. :1. uvu-nnua \IL `|Bradford also have friends who are -advancing their cladms to party pre- ` ferment. 1,, .1 _,.,,, ,_,1,_ 3- ..._-._.._._..LI..
