Mr. Roche submitted charts show- ing that the mileage of the route from Oswego through New York State is much less than that by way of the St. Lawrence.

ENGLISH DO YOT WANT To Be Deprived of Their Glass of Beer When Ia Emigrate, Bishop Bidwell Says. Ottawa, Sept. 19.--Right Rev. Dr. Bidwell, 'Bishop of Ontario Diocese, speaking at the University Club of Ottawa, on the question of immigra- tion yesterday, told his audience that one of the reasons why the Do- minion of Canada was not getting its fair share of British immigrants was that in England there was an idea abroad that Canada was not so uch British as some of the Dominions. "There is an idea over there that we in Canada are more American in our views and customs. For instance, they do not want to be deprived of their glass of beer when they emi- grate. Bishop Bidwell said he had found in his twenty-one trips to England there was far too much ignorance about conditions in Canada. This wide-spread ignorance had amazed him, he said. There was a certain amount of mistrust of Canada over there also, he had found. He thought this might have arisen from the "unfortunate Grand Trunk rail- way affair." -------------- FIELD CROP COMPETITION.
