New York, Sept. 26.-Francis H.
Clergue, one Of the chief promoters of
the $117,0O0,00O Consolidated Lake su-
perior company, has arrived here from
Toronto, accompanied by Cornelius
Shields, president of the company, and
"A. r. Harvey, of Liverpool, one of the
largest stockholders.
The three went quietly to an uptown
hotel and Immediately began series of
conferences with bankers and others
which lasted many hours, in the hope of
securing aid to avert the impending sale
OF the property Of Speyer & Co.
At the close of these conferences, Mr..
Harvey declared that the prospects are
bright for saving the great corporation
to the stockholders under the present
management
mr.. Clergue Is working about 20
hours day to save this company" he
said, and believe he will do it. He is
not to blame for the fact that affairs are
in their present shape. He had assur-
ances last April, which he received in
my presence, that the loans Would be
met, but you know what has happened
since then. The vast shrinkage in the
values OF securities has made it impos-
sible for men to carry out promises
which were made in good faith at that
time.

Toronto, to the 500 to take possession
of the works of the Consolidated Lake

to take the title and sell the property. A

NORWAY.


Verdens Gang makes the following
comment on the recent elections: st
is to be hoped that the defeat of the
administration Liberals will exert
favorable influence upon Norwegian
parliamentarianisn. A new admins
tration will abolish the abuses which
caused the SCATTERING of the machine,
and it will be difficult to return to
them afterwards. But the most i'm
portant feature of the change is, that
the politicians have learned that even a
party which has accomplished much
good cannot bank too freely on the
political good will of the nation. The
party name does not atone for every
thing. The party cannot remain in
power for any great length of time
unless the country is justly and ably
governed, and the politician that re-
sorts to shilly-shallying and tricky
methods will meet with condign ret
ribution. Under such circumstances
we can keep the majority rule in a
sound condition, and make it the best
form of government. Parties change.
Progress comes when it is ripe, and
no sooner. Reforms come when the
conditions are favorable, and we are
saved from reaction"

1t Is reported that In some of the best
farming districts of western New York
there will be land unworked this year be-
cause there are not men enough left to
keep them up. Such state of things Is
truly incomprehensible except that the
methods employed and the unfavorable
turn of things for the past two seasons
make IL unsafe for a man to depend on as
much land as he can work in the hope OF
getting living. Ii is no longer profitable

besides it is not always possible to get

Small Fruits and Berries.
New England Farmer.


Every farm should have supply Of
small fruits, plums, pears and cherries.
And there is no good reason why the farm
er's family should not have a good supply
of berries in their season. Now, as the
busy season Of seed time is almost here, it
would be well for the farmer who has not
these luxuries to plan for planting a few
small fruit trees and vines, sufficient to
supply the family needs. These luxuries not
ure, but are profitable well, for they
can be made to contribute in no small way
to the farmers bill of fare.
Many out of the way waste places could
be utilized by setting out these trees, vines,
etc. With what care the farmer could
easily give them, they would yield most
satisfactory returns. In the case of trees.
once planted, but little time would be re-
quired to give them the necessary cultiva-
ton. In the matter of raising berries, many
of us in various ways waste time enough to
care for berry patch of dimensions ample
enough to meet the demands of a good
sized family. Besides, after all, it doesn't
take so very much time; ii is little atten-
ton now and then at just the right time
that is needed. The strawberry, raspberry,
blackberry and gooseberry can be raised
successfully in this way. The same is true
of the currant and grape.
In the matter of varieties and methods
OF cultivation, ii is well-nigh impossible to
go far astray when the agricultural pages
and experiment stations furnish so much
literature regarding these subjects. Re-
liable manuals can also be had which will
teach the novice all the essentials he needs
to know in order to insure success. We
would only add that in selecting varieties
and well-tried kinds, and in the matter of
planting give plenty of room.
