Tt was suggested by one of the mem- hers that perhaps the property com: mittee would have a surplus in the building of Macdonald school, that this amount could be used in fit ting out the manual training depart- ment. Trustee Macnee, however, pointed out that of the $40,000 granted for the building of the new school, the sum of £30,981 had already been expended leaving a surplus of $19, and that no money could be secured from . this source. Trustee Henderson said that he derstood that if the department was fitted out in the basement, that it would be regarded as the proper place by Inspector Leake, and that the gov- ernment grant would be curtailed. He ueggested going slow in the matter un- tl a definite statement was received from the inspector of the department. Trustee Elliott wanted to know why it was necessary to remove the de- partment from the collegiate. He could not gee why the work could not be allowed to continue at the colle wiate. He understood the equipment at the collegiate was superior to that which would Re put into service in the public schools, and his suggestion was that it be allowed to remain at the collegiate us at present, and that the public schools be provided with an equipment.

In his last public address in old Convocation hall, a few moriths before he passed away, Principal Grant. con cluded with these words : "May 1 speak of a vision whith has been given fo me of the future. 1 sec our university strong in your love, an gver-increasing power for good; our country purging itself of dross and pressing forward to be in the van of the world's battle; our empire, as ol old, dispenser of justice to all under | its flag, and champion of liberty, civil, religious, intellectual and com mercial everywhere; and our common humanity struggling up into the light, slowly but surely realizing its unity | and accomplishing its mission to es tablish the Kingdom of God upon earth.

BEEF SCARCE AND DEAR. pieveral Local Stores Close Because of the Scarcity.* "The price of meat has not been as high in years as at the presént time," said one of the wholesale and retail dealers to the Whig Thursday after noon. "In fact, western beef is so scarce that six of the city retail stores have had to close their doors, within the past couple of weeks." The reason for the high prices, ap- parently is the limited supply of wes tern beef coming east, the rich man paying the price, and those of more limited circumstances, in most cases, having to do without the "cow." back the out 1912, GIR FITTER EW BUTTON BOOTS For Women Gun Metal, Patents, Kids, Cloth tops and Velvet tops on the New Narrow Toes. $3.50, $3.75, $4.00 and $5.00 .

The slumbers of Mayor Hoag were disturbed, on Thursday night, when a policeman notified hm by telephone that his had been broken into at 3 am, The mayor went down im mediately and found that entrance {had been attempted at the back of the ice. cream parlor, and that another and more successful attempt had been made on the window facing on the street: which opens into the prescrip tion room at the back of the drug store. The would-be thief had suc ceeded in taking the glass out slick and clean, and had gained entrance, which was shown by an invoice file which he had 'knocked down and stepped on near 'the window, Either he had been scared at this stage ol the 'game, or apiter searching the em- pty cash register, had "become dis: couraged, for he made a quiet treat without any money and evident ly without disturbing anything. The work of the culprit looks like that of the theit which occurred there about two years ago, when entrance was gained through the back of the ice cream parlor by breaking the pane of glass near the door and pughing bolt in the door. This was also done last night, but the jam of boxes behind the door prevented its opening, so the sneak thief was oblig- od to take to the window on the streel, where he evidently in and undisturbed.
