On the other hand, La Verite, speaking for a large section of the Quebec clergy, opposes this indis- criminate flow of French immigrants to the Province of Quebec, saying that the excuse that the French will be drowned out here by other elements, is a futile argument. Quebec runs no danger, it says, and, in fact, French immigration carried out without a check would, according to La Verite, be fraught with great danger to the future of the French-Canadian than any alleged Anglo-Saxon peril. THE COWS CAME BACK. Examiner: A story comes from En- nismore where a. few days ago two cows that Mr. James Gregg had sold with the rest of his stock, returned to their old home and wandered out in- to Chemong Lake, where they went through the ice, with the result that ered away from the farmer purchased them, and with unemng instinct found their way back to the Sld barnyard- The following officers were nonun- ated and elected at a meeting of Lind- say Council No. 1124, Knighte of Col- umbus, held on Thursay at the Parish unn- Grand Knight, John Rogers; is now in France looking after mat- ters there, was to have left for home on Dec. 4th, but the hostility oi the Canadian office in Paris has caused him to delay his coming home. It is stated that Mr. Williard, who was appointed by the Federal Gov- ernment, insists that the French im- migrants should be directed towards Northwest; while the Quebec Govern- ment, who contribute the sum of $5,- 000 to the Paris office, declare that they get no benefit whatever from the agency. It is certain, they add, that Mr. Devlin will have the rights of this province respected, and if the hostile attltude oi the Federal of- ficials continue, he will ask his colâ€" leagues on his return home to es- tablish an independent office at Paris, quite worthy 0f the Province of Que- bec.

Mr. Grant has just returned from the mines, which have been named “Washagama Camp,” and are situat- ed north of Markstay. The distance to this railway station is about 28 miles and with good roads to work on there will be no difficulty in get- ting the material out. In addition the new line from Cobalt to Sudbury to be built by Messrs. Mackenzie Mann, will run within two miles of the camp. Teams are at wOrk now breaking the roads from the camp for the work this winter. The ore will be taken to Markstay and thence by rail to the smelters at Sturgeon Falls.
