It is not the most statue, but to many millions of passengers coming up the bay it has seemed to be. KR stands for one of the dearest dreams in human historyâ€"LiAberty. The millions who pursued that dream began to come before there was a statue to greet them. They came when the shores were lined with solemn woods. â€"They came in sailing ships when the voyage required two months or more. They came steerage in crowded steamships under hardships not much less. They came to Plymouth Rock and to Eillis Island. They came for one reasonâ€"escape: escape from religious or political perâ€" secution, from caste systems, from overâ€" crowding and from lack of opporâ€" tunity. But the hope of leaving all of, the Old World behind could not be‘ realized. Their roots in its culture ran: too deep. And the sea itself grew ever narrower. Express steamers began to cross it long ago in less than a week. Airplanes can span it now in less than s day. The wireless leaps‘it in less than a second.

Among those presâ€" ent were M. F. Cook, agricultural reâ€" presentative for the Ontario governâ€" ment at New Liskeard, and W. R. Peters, marketing promoter, and\other delegates came from points as far disâ€" tant as Hearst and Ville Marie. ~The proposal is to find out. to what extent Northern grown produce is beâ€" ing consumed in the centres which will be looked over and what proporâ€" tian is brought in from . outside by trucks. It is in part a war measure, it was stated, and it is intimated that some attention also will be paid to possible settlement of soldiers on suitâ€" able farm lands. Increased production in the North through the greater marâ€" kets that might be available will be studied. The survey will be carried out in such places as Val d‘Or, Timâ€" mins, Kirkland Lake, and Cochrane, it was stated. In attendance at the meeting on Tuesday were Dr. Hopper, assistant director of agricultural economics for. the Dominion government; A. â€" H.

From:« the Quebec side came two agricultural representatives in Mr. Gauthier and Mr. Pelletier, the former from Macamic in the Abitibi district and the latter from Ville Marie in Temscamingue. Also discussed at this joint regional meeting was a scheme for promoting ways and means of improving grading and marketing of potatoes in the North Country generally. This applies not only to the commercial grades but certified potatoes as well, it was stated. Mr. Kemp is to make further . investiâ€" gation into this phase of the situation ‘throughout the summer.

Neither of the two cases that presented a defence had any luck, both of them being given a tenâ€"day term in the district Jail. Wilfred Therien was charged with being drunk in charge of a car and he chose to plead not guilty and was deâ€" fended by Mr. J. E. Lacourciers. Conâ€" stable Emerson was the first of the crown witnesses to give evidence and he said that on Monday night he and Constable Beacock had gone out to inâ€" vestigate an accident at the corner of Fourth avenue. and Spruce. street. When he had arrived at the scene he had noticed Therien leaning against his car and he seemed confused but the constable was unable to say whether the defendant was drunk or not. He had gone over to question the other driver and had not come in conâ€" tact with Therien at any time. Constable Beacock said thatâ€" when he arrived at the scene of the accident he had gone over to question Therien and said that he found Therien to be drunk. He had asked him to walk to the police car and the man had stagâ€" gered very badly on the way. â€" He asked him for his license and he fumbled around in all his pockets before findâ€" ing it. When it was returned to him he felt away down his leg to find his pocket. The constable said that he had also detected a strong odor of alâ€" cohol on the man. Sergeant Gariepy said that he had put the man through several tests in the police office and he had proved to his satisfaction that the man was owner of the taxi firm that. Therien worked for. He said that he had been in the office the night before when. Therien had returned from a trip and the man was sober at that time, he said. Under crossâ€"examination he said that he had only seen Therien from inside the office when he had returned. Therien had not entered the office. When Therien took the stand he admitted : that he had drank three bottles of beer about nineâ€"thirty. That was about an hour before the. acciâ€"; dent.

He said he had: not called a doctor because it was the first time that he had ever been in trouble and he knew nothing about the idea of calling a doctor. The despatcher from the taxi stand then gave evidence and he said that about nineâ€"fifty he had sent Therien out on a trip and that at that time he seemed to be sober. In passing sentence the magistrate said that the evidence of two of the policemen was to the effect that the man was drunk and this was not conâ€" tradicted by the witnesses outside of the defendant himsel{.
