THOMAS ROBSON has secured the agency for the Gould, Sliapley & Muir Co’s “Ideal” Pumping Wind Mills. The Freeport Journal contains the fol- lowing notice of these Mills: “ The citizens of Freeport always take pride in the progress of its citiâ€" zens, and especially in the_development of its industries, for much of our pros- perity depends on their success. We have a number of strong and enter- prising manui‘acturiug concerns in this city, and among them the Stovcr man- ufacturing company occupies a leading place. ’l‘heir exhibit at the World’s Fair has been the centre of attraction in the windmill division all summer, and energetic Mr.Jnhn .\l.Irwin, super- intendent of agencies, with able assis- tance, has had his hands full and his tongue more than ordinarily busy ex- plaining the merits of the Ideal Pump- ing Wind Mill and Ideal" Junior Sec- tional Power Mill, and booking orders for them. Mr. Irwin reports business done with numeroust’oreign countries, and within the last few weeks the company has arranged with a live Canadian firm, Messrs. Gould, Shapley &: Muir 00., (Ltd), of Brantford, Can- ada, to manufacture and sell the Ideal and Ideal Junior wind-mills, exclu- sively in Canada. Mr. E. L. Gocld, president, and Mr. John Muir, vice- president, were in' the .city recently arranging the details, and they report the prospects for business in Canada as excellent. Mr. Muir, who, by the way, is a noted salesman, said some very complimentary things about the members of the Stover Manufacturing company, and their honorable way of doing business, also about the excel- lence of their goods, but we will not tell more for fear it might make the worthy members of that company blush. We can endorse all Mr. Muir said about their business enterprise and integrity.” The Fenelcn, Falls Gazette. Friday. February 16th, 1894. The Provincial Parliament. The last; session of the seventh Legis lature of Ontario was opened on Wed- nesday afternoon with the usual cere- monies, and Sir Oliver Mowatâ€" in splendid health and vigor notwithstand- ing his 74yearsâ€"-commenced his twenty- second session as, Premier. After the Lieut.-Governory ,had read the speech from the throneand Sir Oliver Mowat announced that it would be taken into consideration on the lollowing day, Mr. McNaughton, the Patron of Industry elected for North Bruce, was led up to the speaker by the... members for East Huron and East .Wellington, both of whom are Liberals, and the House was then formally adjourned until Thursday. The Patrons. The more we try tcfind out what the Patrons expect to gain by sending mem- bers of their organization to the local legislature, the more we can't do it; which is not at all surprising, as, when questioned, none of' them seem to know. Many think that doctors’ and lawyers’ charges are too high,and appear to hope that, in some unexplained way, they will be lowered when there are plenty of farmers in parliament; and others are very indignant. becauseâ€"as figured out by some ingenious Toryâ€"it takes every year a sum equal to the profit made on several miles of farms to pay the “ salary " of Sheriff Mowat. These grievances, or others of the same na- ture, are the only ones we have heard complained of as far as our researches have yet extended, and it takes but few words to show how unreasonable such complaints are. But it will he very different when the time for the_gencrul puzzle the most astute defender of the Domin- ion Government to convince even the most crcdulous and gullible of the far- mers that they are wrong in looking to Ottawa for relief from their burdens. The Patrons profess to havccut them‘ selves-adrift from political partizanship, and abjure the words “ Grit ” and “ Tory,” but their leaders everywhere, and their organ, the Farmers’ Sun, preach sound Reform doctrine for all that. The author of the Wilson Tariff Bill, in the course of one of his speeches, said: “ When the law compels me to contribute my just quota to the support of government, it is taxation ; when it compels me to contribute to the support of any private enterprise, it is robbery. The first is a tariff for revenue, the seCOnd is a tariff for protection.” These words might have fallen from the lips of a Liberal speaker or have formed part of an editorial in the Gazette, yet they are quoted approvineg by the Farmers’ Sun, which says: “ Could genuine tarifi' reform he explained in more effective language ? A man has a right to make the most of his earn- ings.” In Brandon last month there was a gathering of .i’atrons of Industry from all parts of’Manitoba and the Northwest, and the grand president, Mr. Charles Braithwaite, commenced his address with these words : “ Brethren, I ask your indulgence to review the past. Never in our history have we had such a critical time; men’s hearts l'ail them, 'many are in need. Class legislation has placed a weapon in the hands of the favored ones, that has, and is, -fiusing much sufi'cring. The question comes up: why should I and .my family be made to suffer while others roll in luxury"? All over the World there is unreSt‘. .,\_Elucational institutions teach Us freedomef thought and action, and yet, in the nice-oi '. hopes are blasted and lives are blighted.” Mr. Wilson, the En-mers' Sun and President Bruithwaite simply repeat what has been said, over and over again. for years past in every Liberal jntirna] and by every Liberal speaker; but Con- servative farmers refused to read or hear, and obstinately voted, at every general election, dead against their own interests. What they will do the next time they have. a chance to emancipate themsclws from the tyranny of the N. P. remains to be seen. Driven to des- peration by the pinchings of poverty, they have banded together for self defenceâ€"mor, rather, to carry war into the enemy’s countryâ€"and appear to believe in their ability to do, by some means peculiar to themselves, what they might. have done long ago but for their slavish allegiance to party. But what those means will be is a mystery to out- siders, who await developments with equal curiosity and impatience. Presentation. At nsoeial held in Dickson’s hall a few evenings ago in connection with the mission band of the Presbyterian church, Miss McLeod. who is about to leave the village with her father. was presented with a writing desk and the following address: DEAR Miss llIanoo,â€" As representatives of Presby» terianism in Fenelon Falls, we desire to express our appreciation of your taithful~ ness during your life here. It is With sincere regret that we part with you, for in you we had one who proved most sympa- thetic and useful in every department of church work. Your connection with the Sabbath school, the Christian Endeavor, and also missionary work, was always invaluable, and in these organizations the loss of your presence will be deeply felt. Not only has your ability and willingness to discharge important duties been appre- ciated, but also your modest and consistent Christian life has proved an inspiration to many and has called forth the unanimous admiration of all with whom you~were' associated. It is now our privilege, upon the eve of your departure from amongst us, to present you with this writing desk as a memento of early friendships and pleasant Christian association. You will leave he- hind you sweet memories of your devotion to the cause of Christ. We know that you will be none the less active and earnest in the opportunities incident to your new home. As a congregation we pray that the blessing of God may always abide with you. Signed on behalf of the congregation, KATIE DICKSON, ANNI Mmrm. The desk, which is a very handsome one, was procured from Montreal by Mrs. William Campbell through some friends who reside in that city. m‘ The Skatingâ€"Carnival. Good as was the first skating carnival in the Fenclon Falls rink this season, the second, held on Wednesday evening last, was still better, there having been 65 masqueradch on the iceâ€"which was in splendid conditionâ€"against 45 at the January carnival. It was a good idea to lower the price of admission to ticket holders, and in our opinion, as well as in the opinion of others, ladies who go to the trouble and expense of getting up costumes should be admitted free. There were three carnivals last winter, and there may be another this season if the Weather is favourable. The follow- ing is a list of the maskers on Wednes- day evening.

Ellis Tea» at Baddbw: Notwithstanding the bad roads last Tuesday evening, there was a good at- tendance at the Methodist tea at Bad- dow, the Falls, as usual, being well rep- resented, and one of our villagers (an Englishman, of course,) has particuâ€" larly requested us to commend the cat- ablcs, which, he says, were the best he ever partook of on a similar occasion. Rev. W. B. Tucker of Coboconk oflici- atecl as chairman, and the speakers were the Rev. Mr. Trotter, chairman of Can- nington district, Rev. Mr. Scott of , Rev. Mr. Fraser of Fenclon Falls, and J. H. Carnegie, the Conservative candidate for East Victoria in the com- ing electiom The last named gentleâ€" man, when called upon and interrogated as to his views on prohibition, said he had not attended the meeting for the purpose of making a speech, but, as far as prohibition was concerned, he had always been in favorot itâ€"an announce- ment that was received with great ap- plause. In addition to the addresses there were some very good dialogues and recitations, and excellent vocal and instrumental music was furnishei by the choir. The cash proceeds amounted to over $528. The entertainment was not advertised except by word of mouth,_ and we. cannot help thinking that if, next year, the managers will invest a couple of dollars in printing, the ad» ditional attendance resulting therefrom wtll afford a good profit on the outlay. Personals. Mr. W. R. Madill of Toronto, was at the Falls on Wednesday and Thursday. Miss Hattie Corneil cl Omcmee, who has been visiting relatives at the Falls, left for home last Monday morning. Mrs. Joseph McArthur returned yes- terday evening from a fortnight's visit; to relatives at Port Hope and other places. 7 Mr. James Deyman, oflBowmauville, was at the Falls yesterday visiting his brothers, Messrs. William and Lewis Deyman. . Mr. W. G. Ellis, who came home from Portage La Prairie some time be~ Fore Christmas, left for Winnipeg, Man- itoba, last Thursday morning. Mr. H. J. Lyric of' Cambray,‘ who will shortly move with his family to the Falls, was hereon Wednesday. See his advertisement on our first page. Mr. John kl. Carnegie, of Indian Point. Baxley, the Conservative nomiâ€" , one for East Victoria, was at the Fall; last Wednesday, and called in to shake hands with the Gazatts before commenc- ing the fight. , m--_ . Powles’s Corners. .C'orrespmzdence of the Gazelle. Mr. Thurston, the Patron nominee For East Victoria, will address the elec- tors in the school house here on Tues- day evening, the 20th. One or two other gentlemen will also be present... We expect that each and every plank in the Patron platform will be commented upon. The leading road from here to the Falls is badly drifted, and most of the travel is on the lake. ’ l CURLTNG Marenâ€"A match at curl- ing bettveen Bobcaygeon and Fenc- lon Falls came off in the rink here last Tuesday evening, and, when the regu- lation 22 ends had been played, resulted in a tie. Each side then played an extra end, and the visitors won by three shots. 3%“ Read in this paper how to get fifty World’s Fair Views free. ‘ COMPELLED POETRY.â€"“ Sam Hughes has been making poetry about you," said an acquaintance to us soon after last week’s Wardcr reached the Falls. “Making” was just the right word. To “make” is to “compel,” and such poetry as Sam’s never comes into exis- tence except under strong compulsion.
