NOVEMBE Eleventh ’l‘hc Fcnclou Falls Gazelle. Friday, November 4, 1910 Portugal. From The Youth's Companion. Portugal has been badly governed under the monarchy, not because of the monarchy, but because of the low stan- dard of its public men. It has a consti- tution and a parliament, but the govern- ment for years has been in the hands of men who have looted the treasury. The elections have been a farce, for when political pressure could not force the people to select the candidates favored by the ministry, the opposition candi- dates have been counted out. Then, when the party in power faced a crisis which it wished to evade, it would turn the government over to the opposition. There has been an understanding among the leaders by which the parties should take turns at the oiliccs. What this means is indicated by the fact that the daughters of a. cabinet minister not long ago were drawing fifteen thousand dollars a year as customs house in- spectors, although they never entered a customs house. It is the prevalence of that sort of “graft,” from the highest to the lowest, that has- brought about the troubles of the country. The leaders of the republic are college In America such men would make a. serious attempt to reform the government, and would have public sentiment behind them. In Portugal,” if they would succeed, they must combat the traditional practices of politicians for generations. They are still further handicapped by the‘ illit- eracy of the population, among which not more than one person in five can read or write. A magnet Difference. From The Orillia Packet. One noteworthy difference between British and American courts, empha- sised by the accounts of the Crippen trial, is the fact that in England the judge is an official who makes it his business to try to elicit the facts, rather than a referee to see fair play between two lawyers exhibiting their forensic skill. The Lord Chief Justice, we are told, continually asked questions that tended to clear up doubtful points ; questions, too,.that the lawyers did not wan‘t‘to ask, for-fear it might prejudice their case. Canadian courts, as well as courts in the States, might learn a lesson from this, for in this countryâ€",as well as among our neighbors, there is a tendency to make the courts a field for legal gladiators. The Kind Not Wanted. The leader who makes as the principal plank in his platform the abolition of the bilingual schools will sweep the Province of Ontario at the next general election.â€"Kingston Standard. ‘ Let him go ahead, if he honestly be- lieves the abolition of bilingual schools would be in the best interests of the Province. But we don’t want any leader who takes up an issue only because he thinks he will get into power on it. Work Done on T. V. C. The annual report of the Department of Railways and Canals, just issued, con- tains short accounts of the progress made on the T. V. C. and other water- ways during the period from April lst, 1909, to March 31st, 1910. Referring to Fenelon Falls and Rosedale the report says : ~ A. great deal of work was carried on at Fenelon Falls during the past year. A new concrete walk was put in at the look, some soddiug was done, and a waterworks system for watering the grass was installed. A concrete walk was laid in front of the lockmaster's house, and the ground levelled up. The work of deepening the channel from Cameron lake to the look was continued, and a turning basin was completed east of the railway bridge. This is 200 feet long by 175 feet wide. From the Grand Trunk railway bridge to Cameron lake, a distance of about 800 feet, there is a splendid channel. This is fifty feet wide at the railway bridge and about 200 feet at the entrance to the lake, and has a depth of nine feet. The average depth of the material dredged was about five feet. The material was used to make a breakwater on the north side, from the railway bridge to the lake, and on the south side from a point about 350 feet below to the railway bridge and the cud of the west entrance. Astorehouse and coal shed were built at Fenelon Falls. The abutment pier at the south end of the dam from the water's edge was re- built. A new platform was built over the power canal or ll’eadgates to the Lindsay Light, Heat and Power Com- pany's plant. A new set offstoplogs was supplied here, and a new set of winches was placed in position. . At ‘Rosedalea canal has been' made across the v narrow"peninsula between Cameron and Balsam lakes, a lock, dam and dredging in the Gull river between its confluence with the canal and deep The lock is the M- W. W _...__a , “2.. ~................A «mam -- same size as those of the Ontario-Rice lake division, and the canal and river channel will be 100 feet wide on the bottom with a depth of 9 feet at normal lake levels. The distance via the new canal, between the nine foot contours in Cameron and Balsam lakes is 1.8 miles, 1.2 miles shorter than via the Gull river and the old lock. A contract for the construction of this section was en- tered into with the Randolph M acdonald Company, Ltd., on February 24th, 1908, and the total value of work done and materials delivered up to March 31, 1910, amounted to $134,919.74 The principal items of work done are: 195,000 cubic yards earth, 4,000 cubic yards solid rock, and 7,740 cubic yards concrete. The lock and its entrance piers are finished, and also the excava- tion for the canal, and some dredging has been done in the Cameron lake channel and in the Gull river. The gates for the lock were built on the ground by this ollicc last year. These improvements will replaCe the old wooden lock and dam built by Mr. Wm. Whiteside, who in 1869 entered into a contract with the provincial govern- ment for their construction. The look was not finally completed and placed in commission until late in 1873. His con- tract also included the building of a swing bridge across the river at this point, which was replaced by the Dom- inion government in 1897 by a steel swing span erected on a concrete sub- structure. In 1897 the Dominion gov- ernment also completed the excavation of a channel 90 feet wide by 7 feet deep in the river between the old look and Balsam lake, which channel up to then was only about 3%,- feet- deep. At Norland, Elliotts Falls, Moore’s Falls, Hall’s Lake and other points the dams were repaired, and at Horseshoe andKushog lakes new concrete dams have been built. The report further states that no serious accidents occurred throughout the year and the traffic was the largest in the history of the canal. The water was kept at a steady and uniform height throughout the entire year, and there were no complaints from navigation interests, the lumbermen or power companies. Since the end of March, 1910, the dredging in the canal at Fenelon Falls has been completed, and a cement wharf built east of the railway bridge. The matter of making alterations in the lower end of the canal, to avoid delays to trallic on the street by the opening of the swing bridge, will probably be taken up at the coming session of Parliament at Ottawa. At Roscdale everything is about finished up except the new dam.. A good part of the banks have been sodded, and it is understood further im- provements of this kind will be made. Big Poultry Raising Enterprise. One car, containing one thousand im- ported, pure-bred, White Plymouth Rock fowls and chickens arrived at the Grand Trunk Railway at Beaverton station last 7 week. This shipment comprised a selec- tion of the finest birds procurable, es- pecially selected for their laying quali- ties, and is of peculiar significance, inasâ€" much as it is the conuuencement of an educational campaign introduced by the large pork-packing and provision houses of Gunus Limited, Toronto, and Gunn, Langlois & Co., Limited, Montreal. Statistics show that for several years past, although the Federal and Provin- cial Governments have tried to educate farmers to produce more poultry, still, instead of an increase, an actual de- crease in production is taking place. Only last spring, dealers were forced to import eggs from Russia and China to supply the Canadian needs; and in an effort to overcome conditions of this kind, and to regain for Canada the place that she once held as an exporting coun- try of poultry and eggs, the above-men- tioned firms of Gunns, Limited,. and Gunn, Langlois Sr. 00., Limited, have join- ed hands in a campaign which would ap- pear to have solved the problem. Realizing that educational work was necessary, a demonstration station was opened in May, 1910, at Peterboro’, Ont., and the services of an expert poultry man engaged, whose duty it was to hold meetings in the neighborhood, at which the benefits of proper methods and their adoption were explained. The result of such efforts was, that while the price of ordinary eggs delivered to the store- keepers ran in the neighborhood of 160. to 170. per (102., 200. was paid for eggs which were marketed according to the new method. ~ The movement spread, and R. E. Gunn, of Dunrobin Stock Farm, at Beaverton, Ont., became interested in the work of his section; but, owing to the farmers in the township of Thorah not raising any quantity of poultry of the proper breed and type, the progress was not so marked as in the Pcterboro’ section. To overcome this difficulty, Mr. Gunn a11- thori-zed the buying agent of the above firms to procure for him a sufficiently large quantity of high class poultry to warrant him in engaging the services of a poultry expert. Macdonald College, of Ste. Anne’s, furnished the man in the person of Thomas A. Benson, who for the past month has been placing the poultry division of the Dunrobin Farm in readi- ness to receive the poultry, the arrival of which marks the commencement of the new era in Thorah township, and sets an example to every township in Ontario and Quebec. Already the com- panies have made arrangements to supâ€" ply other sections, therebv creating a growing interest in the wormâ€"Vanaâ€" dlan Farm. AUCTION.
