The first group of lads went into camp in July. Their places were taken by the final group which ended its three weeks' holidays and the camp's first year last night. Vis itors from Toronto, Oshawa, and Howinanville were there to share the lads' final campfire program. A larze delegation of Bowmanville Ro- tarians came down to help the boys in a beach sing-song.

Camp Fire In the light of the fire, the sen- ior hoys exhibited some unique py- ramid drills which have been work: ed out during the camp as a feature of work to be given by a school team at the Canadian National Ex- hibition. One of these, a layer pyramid had six hoys in the first row, fiwe kneel- ing above, then four, three, two and one.

The reduction via Quebec is from 84% cents per cwt. on wheat to 18,84 cents per cwt, The Board's order also provides that the rate to Montreal from lake ports shall be on a parity with the new rates stip- ulated on grain moving to Quebec. This reduction, however, does not affect the water borne rate, which practically determines the wheat export movement via Montreal and Quebec. The reduction in the rate via Van- couver will undoubtedly materially encourage grain export from the prairies via Pacific ports and through the Panama Canal, experts here state. Railway officials here state that the order will result in very sub- stantial reduction in railway reven- ues running into millions of dol- Jars annually, 4 The Board orders that the rates on grain and flour from all points A GUIDE TO VALUES IN OSHAWA Help to Build up Oshawa by Shopping In Oshawa on the Canadian Pacific branch lines in the three Prairie Provinces, to the head of the Great Lakes, be equalized with the present Capa- dian Pacific main line rates, Other railways in the Prairie Provinces are required to adjust their rates correspondingly. This, it is stated, will mean reductions from every point located on a branch line of any railway in Western Capada which exceeds the main line scale of rates. The reductions in rates on grain and flour will involve, accord- ing to rate experes, in the aggre- gate, several million dollars which When We Test Eyes It is Done Properly JURY & LOVELL OPTICAL PARLORS Phone 28 or 29 "I'M SO so frequently tell 2520, Try it!

The export rates westbound to the Pacific coast are also revised so as to put all branch line points on a footing of equality with C.P.R. main line points. This is an im- portant re-adjustment which it is expected win oe of advantage par- ticularly to grain shippers in Al- berta and Saskatchewan, Freight tariffs on merchandise shipped from distributing centres in the three prairie Provinces are or- dered to be revised so as to se- cure the advantage of the short haul mileage. At the present time these distributing tariffs are based ex- clusively on C. P. R. distances. Text of Judgment The Board orders as follows, ly: 1--That the rates on grain and flour from all points on Canadian Pacific branch lines west of Fort William to Fort William, Port Ar- thur and Westfort, be equalized to the nt Canadian Pacific main line basis of rates of equivalent mileage groupings, (the rates gov- erned by the Crow's Nest Pass agreement not to be exceeded); that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company publish rates in accord- ance with the above direction, and that all other railway companies ad- just their rates on grain and flour to Fort William, Port Arthur, West- fort and Armstrong to the rates so put into effect by the Canadian p!
