 O. W. Butledge, Proprietor. MARKDALE, AUGUST 14, 1890. NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" Winnipeg has a population of 25,000. â€" Cardinal Newman died in London on Monday last aged 90 years. â€"Silver ore valued at $36,000 was shipped from Port Arthur last Friday. â€" An Ottawa press says it is cur- rently reported that parliament will meet Nov. 15. â€"The U. S. Congress will spend $5,000,000 in needed canal improve- ments at Sanlt St. Marie. â€" The general conference of the Methodist church, of Canada, opens at Montreal, on September 10. â€" The amount of exempted property iu Montreal is $19,745,210, and a crusade against tax exemptions is to be instituted. â€" While last year Manitoba had to import several hundred thousand dol- lars worth of oats, this year she will export a couple of millions worth. â€" Eimber, the murderer, paid the penalty of his crime at the Auburn state prison on Wednesday of last week by the new proceiss, death by electricity. -â€"Two by-laws were passed iu Gait I'll Tbnrsday last, one to raise $125, JOO fo: the construction of waterworks find tlie other for local iinprovements. â€" Editor Commins, of the Spring- Hold, Ohio, Buf,'et, was drubbed one day last week by two muscular women whom the editor had scandalized in an article in his paper. ^A vote was taken in Toronto last Wednesday on seven by-laws to raise in all $729,263, only two of which were carried, viz The Boys' Indus- Irial School $20,000, and the Girls' Industrial School $20,000. Abont 1000 people came to town m Wedneaday on the A. 0. U. W. ex- euTBioii tnm. Elora and intermediate points. Owing to the lock at the "Soo" canal being broken, the lake traffic has been consideTably lessened this week. Monday was an unusually quiet day in town, it being civic holiday a large percentage of the citizens went pleasure seeking out of town A large crowd took in the firemens' excursion to Midland, while steamers, yachts and skiffs were in great demand. The usual thunder storm came duly to hand about 3 o'clock. A third paper is to be started here in the near future. The Wawboose camping party have returned from Barrier Island. The compan;y numbered over sixty. Your reporter judges that the youthful swains of the company improved the time and expects that the ministers of the town will reap a bountiful harvest in the near future. [The above came to hand a day too late for last week's paper.] THIS week's contribution. XBZSH £AXE PXCHXC. The annual picnic at the Irish Lake came off Tuesday. The day was as perfect as i:;olden sunshine and cooling breeze could make it. The attendance was much greater than it has been for some years. Good order prevailed andall seemed to be biim full good ciieer and bent upon a day of real old fashion- ed fun and enjoyment, the only drawback being the lack of shade. Father Maloney is justly entitled to much credij for the com- pleteness of his arrangements which resulted iu such a splendid success. The receipts -were something over 700 dollars. The affable and oyer welcome Father Casson was present, also several other rev. gentlemen. The political world was ably represented by Dr. Landerkin, Wm. Brown, P.MoCnllongh, Dr. Ego, Editors Thurston and Mitchell ana other dimmer luminaries. The rev. gentle- men and some of the politicians were arrang- ed in a stiff row, forcibly reminding us of a long class of big overgrown boys in the old log school house, and had their photographs taken by a dreemy-e^ed, i«m1 headed artist with a pink wart on the left side nf his roman nose. The picture ia 'bound to be a success and a valuable souvenir of the event. The jfine boats which the management had brought from Owen Sound proved a valuable acquisi- tion. Haikdale, Flesh erton and Durham were well represented. Tbere was one un- happy man â€" immediately upon entering the grounds was mistaken for a Proton cattle dealer by a wild eyed, horny handed son of tQil who threatened him with severe punish rnent unless he woald return a certain volun- teer sheep. He was frem tne village of Toronto and a lover of peace, and not comir g to disturb the good order or inflict an injury to the angry farmer he quietly withdrew to the fnendly shelter of aQ adjaqgpt brush pile. Later on he emerged ^om his retreat and mingled with the multitude bat only to meet with farther disaster. As he was quietly standing in a side doorway of one of the booths gently nibbling at a huge piece of dry ginger bretid and a tear trembling on the tip of his robust nose he was again mistaken for a toui^ and was caught .iroia behind by a muscular rev. gentleman and sent flying out upon the green grass much to the delight of his friends who were wicked enough to laugh at his calamity.' Explanations again followed. Mr. Mitchell, of the Durham Chronicle, drew the binder, after which the people began to disperse highly pleased with the pleasant day they had put in. â€" Com. We are pleased to learn that Mr. Herb. Brown, of Markdale, who has been attending the Collegiate here, has carried o£f the honors in the re- cent Matriculation Exams., taking two scholarships. Mr. T, K. McEenzie and bridoj of the Gravel Road, spent their honey- moon with friends iu Qaen Sound. The District Meeti Aof the Meth- odist Church was held in the Scrope St. Church on Tuesday. Lake trade has so increased that the C. P. E. find it necessary to call the Manitoba into service and she is being refitted for the purpose. She is the largept steamer on the lakes and was built at the "Poison Works" in this town. The C. P. E. Slip is nearly com- pleted. The tracks are being laid along the new v.hnrves, and soon Owen Sound will have the beet f-bip- ping facilities of any port on the lakes. Mr; J.'G. Banuercaaun, Dentist late of Bradford, has removed to ou^ town and will open in Butcbarfs new block, corner of Baker and Poulett Sts. Mr. Lang, ' Enight of the Quill, of the Kincardine Eeview, is in town. He is making the necessary arrange- ments to open out here, and expects to begin the publication of a new p£.per, the "Owen Sound Sun," in about two weeks. Besides the regular weekly, he will issue a tri-weekly sheet, wUch he intends to convert into a daily at as early a date as possible. It will differ from the "Solar Orb" in this, viz A small consideration will bo charged for the rays of light which it will disseminate. A lacrosse match on Tuesday after- noon between Owen Sound and Ches- ley resulted in a score of 4 to 1 in favor of Owen Sound. Ladoer'8 Luiding. B. G. Aag. V '90. Editor Standard: The wMther in this seo^n baa been xnrat favorable of late for the ranrbers, tor the haying operations, of which they are in the midst. Hav is a very good crop in this part and will average abont three tons to the acre. Grain crops are also exceptionally good. Oats and hay are the principal crop here oats will average about 70 bus. to the acre. The Salmon Canneries are busily engaged at present in canning salmon. There are abont fifteen canneries on the Fraser Biver, These canneries give employment to a large number of persons each one employs about 30 white 2uen besides 100 Chinamen and about the ^aine of Siwases. Lumbering is also earned on to a great extent here. Fir is the principal timber th.'tt grows in our raaguificeiit forest. Messrs. Grant Kerr cut in their saw-miU the other day a pair measuring 110 ft. long, tor the barn of Mr. H. Benson. Fir grows to an immense size a number of them are 8 ft. in dia. at the butt. Cedar also grows to a great size. Mr. Abercrom- bie cut from one tree 600 rails and burnt six cuts 12 ft. long. Mr. Andrew Beattie who came here some time ago with two fine Clysdale horses from Markdale, Orit., left for his home a few days ago. After mak ing a lat go- season with his horses he has aold both for a good figure. "Just in Time" we believe for the sum of $2,000, to Messrs. J. McCallum I J. Gilchrist and the other "Lucky Lad" was sold for a sum uotlar short of that amount. Mr. Beattie made many warm friends during his short stay here and all feel satisfied that we will see him back again in the near future. Joseph Lanktree. ^^y^?
