the quoted by A Farmers Bon in your last issue cannot surely bear out the con struction put it by writer j paragraph or clones a of section says the eon may be entered rated and assessed aa If each father and eon were Joint owners not make him assessed if placed the roll as F any qualification and if so what is the sense of clause section Ha A Farmers Bon en- titled to bo under any of the preceding provielons may require his name to be entered and rated on the LEADING DRY GOODS CLOTHING For the Bra Winnipeg and Railway There is a strong objection to the Winni peg scheme of a railroad to It ought not to be a Canadian scheme think that the man who advocated it had very little claim to being a Cana dian It a direct blow at the corrying trade of the country and of the muoh grander scheme of Hudson Bay Route which ia a undertaking and will be a far cheaper freight carrier Get your freight to Hudson Bay and the vessels will be there to carry it I need not say what I think of a man who would take two of Canadian money to build up a foreign trade when he could use it to a far greater advantage to Canadians in building up a British one In any trouble with the United States we would lose all use of the one whilst the other would for five months in the year land troops and supplies in Winnipeg at least days earlier than any other route and there would not be one tenth of the danger of their being stopped besides which it is not at all certain that the troops could not be landed on the Hudson Bay at any time of the year Since I last wrote to the days have fine bright and worm the nights going down to from to zero tin til the when we bad about an of enow This morning the the ther mometer has been down to below zero and it looks as If we should have some more snow The Bar river generally freezes over between the and 2oth of this month Last week three bunches of Cattle were taken across the Bar river just below our house eighteen hundred of whioh were to be

being four or thousand dollars on building probably three flessment roll Joint or owner occupant or tenant of farm as the case my be and f armors son so entered and rated shall be liable in re- spool of such assessment as owner tenant or occupant end the Initials or and initials the party assessed has the proper cations be added the proper column It a Farmers is correct in his construction of clause a then whose name Is down on the Roll as is already assessed owner Then why should compel to assessor to assess as owner tenant or occupant can to no other conclusion than that a person whoso is on the assessment roll merely as a Farmers and not registered bis name to bo entered on the Roll as Owner or Tenant is not legally qualified as a juror and a fanners who were not assessed on the Roll bad and would bo set upon application Why a Farmers Son unless he be olosoly connected to the person making the error in list should show chagrin at my letter I Bay I I am free to Bay that formers boob are intelligent as owners or tenants and as cop able of performing the that would be cast upon them as Jurors as any other persons bat what I do complain of law not permitting them to serve and Jury Panel being liable to be sot aside for cause The should be so plain that there could bo no mistake question and I have taken steps to draw the attention the Government to the It is always to have law regarding administration of justice so clear that no mistake con rea sonably Suppose ionn Jones was assessed as owner of CO at and his two sons Philip end Thomas on Roll as Formors Sons all three would be entitled a Farmers Son con straotion is right vi that by merely the boys as on the list assessed joint ow then none of them would be qualified to serve jurors none of them were in assessed at 9400 and they were not sufficiently assessed to en title all consequently none on the other hand the boys had been assessed under clause as Tenants then all three would be entitled to be on the Roll or Jury column I am informed there ore peraons on the Assessment Boll for assessed as own er ot and a son marked P and both are placed on the jury list if the be comes assessed as joint owner by merely him on the Assessment Roll as how does either of them become entitled jurors when their joint assessment is each A Farmers Son say that I the insult that the farmers sons are not fit for jurymen I said nothing of the kind I said no person would pretend to Bay that farmers sons are not as compe tent to weigh evidence and arrive at a just conclusion as other ratepayers As to what action I took in the County Counoil in reference to Jurymen A Formers Bon is again wrong Prior to the Aot of the Legislature provided that Jurymen should be paid a mite from their home to the Court House and per diem for each legal working day thereafter In 1895 the jury was amended and who resided outside of the City or Town wherein the Court was held were allowed in addition to above or Sunday and if sent away for more than one day they were allowed two days pay I and I may tell your correspondent that the County never interfered with the Jurymen since the of came into force and Jurymen in York County get the same pay and same mile age as Jurymen in the other Counties of Ontario If Jurymen are underpaid they must blame the Government who have fixed the of fees and mileage and cot the County I and let me your cor respondent Jurymen from the city of To ronto do not get one for Sundays while Jurymen from the county get 81 each Sunday If however a Farmers Son thinks Jury men unpaid let him apply to the Legisla ture who have the sole power of fixing the fees and not to the County The whole expense connected with the selection of and pay was of 916901- was paid direct to Jurors all oi money is payable by the county not cent being paid by the government I do not believe notwithstanding the Rattt A Farmers that the great body ratepayers in the are in favor of Increasing pay over two dollars per day even if the County oil bad power to do bo J WOODCOCK Nov We are making November a RedLetter Month the biggest and busiest We have ever had particular snaps in buying which
