AS soon as the legislative assembly
asked for report from Secretary
Grimes on the amount Of fees recciy-
cd In his office lot Of peanut headed
politicians and gossips began to
shake their heads and look wise and
declare that something sensational
was on tap.
But they have waited in vain for
the predicted sensation. Secretary
Grimes, in a prompt and business like
manner. made complete report Of
all matters connected with his office
and recommended certain legislation
that would be Of great benefit 60 the
territory
This report showed his net salary
10 be about sl1 900 last year. The
general run of people believe this is
100 much salary for that office andrit
is probable that the legislature never
contemplated that the secretary
should receive any such emoluments
when in the early days when fees
were few and far between they pro-
vided that he should retain a certain
per centage OF all insurance fees and
all of certain other fees, yet IL was
rightfuIly his by law. Every cent Of
it belonged to him and there was
nothiRg wrong about it and nothing 70

sion on the "Funville. Frolictown &
FeatherOrain Railway" Friday after
noon. The house was converted into
a depot with a train of cars Nothing
was lacking and the most inexperi-
enced traveller could not lost her way.
The ticket office and the Pullman Of
fee were in the reception room and
from there the excursionists readily
found their way by placards which
bore all necessary information. AT
the stations whistles were blown and
the bell rnng and all passengers got
on and off in due form The names
of the stations were in the forms Of
conundrums which we're printed on
each ticket. There were so many ex-
citing and comical incidents of the
trip that 1t will long be remembered
as one OF the most enjoyable ever
taken by Guthrie ladies.
Mrs Hughes and Miss Green, Of
Birmingham, were awarded the first
and second prizes, and Mrs. Knapp re
ceived the consolation which was a
