l.. w. Cotant in a conversation,
put the proposition up this way.
Last year there was hauled out Of
here approximately m hundred
tn bushels of grain, which,
did each wagon carry one hundred
bushels, would be n hundred loads
to the Falls. Now at the rate Of
$500 per load, leans 5000 freight.
Now it appears that about four times
as much grain is due for the COM
ing harvest, that will make foul hun
dred thousand bushels and at $500
per wagon load of n hundred
bushels makes the freight bill up
to $1,000. Now we figure that the
average load will not be over fifty
bushels and at the same rate of $50
per load the freightage alone WOULD
amount to $4,000 or $4,000.
In last weeks paper occurred an
item to the effect that w. E. Hawks
and wife were visitors at the Oliver
House. This brought to mind hat

while enjoying his visit with Mr..
and Mrs. Oliver, he also expressed
surprise at the wonderful changes
that had taken place. He and his
good wife expect to return in a few
months and may be induced to be-
come permanent jewellers.

day school at this place and among
other good things which they have
already accomplished. was that of
providing wood for the Sunday SER
vices. They also took it upon them
selves to cut some of the logs OF
suitable length and split the same
for use in the stove. They also sat
down and calculated that if so many
blocks Of wood were used each Sun
day the number of blocks which
they had already cut should last
until the first of May. Now on
the opposite side of the house was

can they account for the disappear
