Last week the Bracebridge Gaz- wite 'repeated 'its charge that de- liberate attempts wore made, dur= sling the late election, to hinder the cireulation of that paper, and that only a small p pers reached their "destinations. This charge is of a very serious nature, affecting, as it does, the liberty of-the press, and it should not be allowed to-go. uninvesti- gated.

He says: "It seems to me as if present prospetts for craps i all lines are alfirost all. that could be de- sired. | Frost has gone deep, and, as' a-ponsequence, soil should be in ideal condition next spring.The superabundance of snow has made\ up tor deficient, rainfall, and, if this only goes. off grad- ually/ there will be plenty of moisture for. germination and early growth. After such a long and steady wirter,/a moderately eurly- spring. may naturally be expected. A measure, assuredly in the in- terests: of 'the citizens, is the New regulation requiring wood sold on the market to be "measured and the cubic contents 'marked for the 'benefit of the purchaser. The council might: 'well -have gone a step .further "and made (it com- pt ry for every load ef wood sold in the town to be accompan- ied by a statement of. its cubic vontents. Such a regulation would impose no hardship on the ven- 'dor, as he knows, or could easily tain, the exact amount of wood in any load. With such a statement the purchaser. would know exactly what he paying As an argument to secure fi-| 1 of the pa-| s | W. L. Smith, a -well-known loads, unless he takes the trouble lo pile it up and- measure ity, It is safe to say that few papple have felt the severity of the pre- sent winter 'more -than the rural mail couriers. In several. gf the storms,.many of them. were un- able. to' cover their routes and even when roads were passable, the intense cold made their work! exceedingly trying, As laid out, any of the rural routes--some requiring a daily trip' of \over thirty. miles---are too- lengthy for satisfactory service in winter, il-is not fair.to 'ask any ¢our- jer-to serve such a mileage un- der even average winter condi- tions such'as we experience. For the most: part, the couriers are inadequatély paid. 'It' may be said, lof course, that the mail earriers aré Llemselves responsible, their lenders fixing the price. Com petitive tendering "fer such work should che "abolished. As in other branches of the postal ser- iviee, the Donartment should , pe nhle to fix a fair priee for each reute, and then appoint' the 'men who will do the work mos! 'effic-- iently. Roufes that are tee long fo permit of a fairly good de- livery. winter and sununer, should be shortened, or', the courier: be paid an allowance that, would able him de hire help: in eov- ering the route verse conditions.. In co-operating with Newmar- ket and Bradford to press upon the Ontario Government the util- ization of the great peat beds of this Province, as a measure of re- lief for. the. fuel' shortage,' the Board of Tradé is acting wisely. Experiments condiicted by the Dominion ernment showed that peat fuel could be manufac- tured at the. comparatively small cost of 84.75 per ton: "When a nuinber of Barrie men, eighteen ats .ago, attempted to manu- 'acture peat, they failed, largely owing to the fact that they could not sufficjently reduce the: mois- [ture, forly per cent being the low- st, whereas not more than twen- |ty-five r cent should be pres- jent for <i ful handling. It is, ja peouliay of the that-pressOge will not remove the {moisture from peat. Possibly jwith such' an abundance of elec- |tric energy/'some method of dry- ing by -elevtricity might be de- lvised. Apparently: the moisture jdifficulty was, to a large extent, overetgesby the Swedish experts, operating on behalf of the Do }minion Governmeat. The exper jimental stage having heen passed, it seems only right for the On- tario Government to take hold of thé matter and develope, for the benefit of all the. pedple, as in| the case of the Hydro Electric, | this immense natutaltresource of. peat- fuel. | > At the last meeting of the Or-| iMia Council, the withdrawal of! the monthly grant.of 8200 {othe | Patriotic Funel, owing to the large | gran{niadé by the County Coun- oil, was discussed. Orillia is one of the vefy few municipalities jin Ganada, which: collects, and administers its own Patriotic Fund, It 'collected: $13,157.06 Inst-year, and paid out $15,225.32: M.,B. Tudhope, chairman of the' 'Orillia' cominittee, is: quoted as C dian Patriotic Fund would inean "more work, greater ex- jPense, and -almost.certaigly .in- ased demand for contribu- ions." Mr, Tudhope is evidently misinformed as to the adminis- tration of the Canadian. Patriotic Fund. 'In Barrie, the only cost jof operaling.. is -stamps for jcheques, postage and a little sta- tidnery, and outside the filling. in: of the monthly return to Ottawa, nothing is done "by the: Barrie committee which would not be required of the local committee in Orillia. As far-as additional local subscriptions are cancerned, Sir Herbert Afies has placed Simcoe's share at $150,000 for 1918, and this amount: having been provided for thrqugh. the County Council, nothing, further is asked Through the local mun-} icipalities. Looking -- from outside it would. appear Orillia would be distinetly ad- jvantaged by affiliating' with 'the Canadian Patriotic Fund. ) Fear in some quarters is: ex- pressed that should the vote be favorable on. Friday, the Edu- cation Board might consider building the school at the east end. We can hardly imagine this. ito-be a" possibility in view of a jsixty per cent majority for.a new school-on a central site. Judg- under such ad- |' MR. JARVIS KNOW HIS ~ OWN MOIGE?
