The jury disagreed and Alexander fail- ed to procure the bail set by the crown. This was the second disagreement of a jury in the case and an order of “Nolle presse" was entered by the Attorney- General. This in effect means that there will .be no further prosecution on the charge and is the customary out- come, according to legal gentlemlen here. when no decision has been reach- ed after two trials, although there are excep'i-ons.

In rsierence to the first resolution as quoted above it is doubtful if any man ‘11 this whole section of the North would question its advisability. There is very general belief that the territory now under the care of Mr. Pomerleau is al- together too large for any one man to handle with any degree of efficiency. There will be equally general agreement as to the suggestion that the new head- quarters be located at Matheso-n. To most peOple that seems the logical p oe for it. There may be some who ay not favour the second resolution. but this, of course, is a secondary consider- ation. the big need now rbeing for a 5 send representative able to take over charge of the big district of South CW hrane and relieve in some measure the undue pressure on the representa- tive who now has to care for the whole immense territory. The Dept. of Agri- culture would do Well, indeed, to take immediate steps to grant the request of the Val Gagne Agricultural Society for an additional agricultural repre- sentative to care for the needs and in- terests of the number of settlers and farmers in the territory. for special consideration for the idea :1“ the appointing of a second agricul- tural representative for Cochrane dis- trict. In view of the fact that no such second representative has been appoint- ed. the society at its meeting some days ago suggested that the question be tak- en up again with the Minister of Aeri- French-Cznadians and perhaps not able therefore to speak and understand co fluently the English language. it was resolved unanimously that the Val Gagne Agricultural Scciety. through the directors of the said society, hum- bly prays the Honorable Minister of Agriculture. for the Province of On- tario, to kindly nominate. in such divi- sion. an official agricultural representa- tive. who shall be able to speak both French and English. The move and nomination of an official agricultural representative. as aforesaid. is sure to be a better encouragement to the far- mers. which 1beyond doubt the Honor- abue Minister is aiming at. and there- fore stimulate the ambition of the far- mers and help them to get to a better standard of agriculture. which will eventually result to the good credit of the Pro-Vince of Ontario.

There is a good road to it, and also right to the top of the mountain. At the foot of it is a lot of elegant camp ground, and lots of dry weed and no danger of fire. There are sand plains for a distance. Fetch a couple of tents and .303 British rifles. Go up on the mountain and walk all around it. for it's quite easy to do. On the north end he can look down on an old road and see Mr. Bear right below him 600 feet down. I have seen four not far apart on this road. I have seen a she-bear with her cubs and watched them for hours.
