 During the past week. the session of the court has been eventful in re- gard to the opinions handed down.

 There has been no royal birth In the Netherlands since that. of Queen Will helminA herself, twenty-seven years ago. Thrice before, since the marriass anders affectionatsiy call the Queen. have the hopes Of the country been raised, only to Dc dashed.
 The constant fear of the Dutch has been that the House of Orange would die out with childless sovereign and that Holland would pass under the rule of . 0srman prince and would sal state. This partly accounts for the extraordinary eAgerness with which the event is awaited In every town and village in the Netherlands.
 Denominations on gigantic scale have been arranged and processions. concerts and fetes will be held over the country. The school children have been given . weeks holiday and gem efai amnesty will be proclaimed for certain classes of prisoners.
 Guns already are in position on the parade ground here for the firing of salute on the announcement of the birth. One hundred and one rounds will be firsd for the birth of . prince and fifty-one for . princess. Heralds accompanied by trumpeters in costume of the sixteenth century win proclaim the advent of prince or princess of Orange in aii quarters of the city.
 The health of the Queen has been excellent. Dr. Kouwer. an eminent gynecologist. in addition to the aueen's regular physicians. Is in constant at- tendance. The queens apartments are situated at the back of the palace over- looking quiet old-world garden. A suite of six rooms has been prepared for the infant by the Queen herself. and in these have been installed some ancient cradles of the House of Mas sau, of wonderful workmanship. All, however. have been discarded in favor Of a hemely wooden Dutch cradle which will be used ordinarily while on state occasions the baby will occupy a beau tiful cradle made at The Hague school of lacswork where two score of women instructors and pupils worked many months in producing the lace for this cradle. The rooms are literally filled with costly presents which have been sent for the royal baby from every city and hamlet in the Netherlands.

The little pond q which he shot the deer nearly q hundred years ago. was located back of the once building of the Montsom- cry Light and Water Power Company which kAces Dexter Avenue.

During the early days in the pc
riod of the growth of the grain crop in
Western Canada, as well as throughout
the ripening and garnering period,
there is yearly growing an increasing
interest throughout the United States,
as to the results when harvest is COM
pleted. These mean much to the thou
sands of Americans who have made
their homes in some of the three Prov
inces that form that vast agricultural
domain, and are of considerable interest
to the friends they have left behind.
The year 1909 is no disappointment
The crops Of wheat, oats and barley
have been harvested and it is now
safe to speak of results. Careful es-
