Those Queer Canadians.

these very remarkable Canadian far
mers proceeded to see about it.
They found the same condition of
affairs that we, on this side the line,
endure so comfortably. Between the
producer and the consumer were no
less than three middlemen, each with
his sieve through which the consumers
money was strained on its way to the
producer; and the coin that filtered
through the very fine meshes Of the
last of these gentlemen's sieves and
reached our rural friends was of pretty
small coinage. In short all that the
Caneichan valley farmer lacked to be
perfectly happy and satisfied, as we
are, was an express company to graft
on him.
These Canadian friends of ours,
while of much the same blood AS our
selves, would seem to be of another
generation. They resemble less the
present "talky' strain of Americans
than they do that former kind that
held an indignation meeting quite
early on a spring morning at Lexing-
ton and wiped out goodly number
of middlemen and non producers be-
fore noon. So these queer British
COLUMBIA farmers proceeded to wipe
out the three sets of toll takers that
had been waxing fat upon their labor.
Mr.. l.. F. Solly. of Westholme, r.
c., himself we'll known, both as a
market egg producer and as a breeder
Of fine fowls, has kindly furnished
The Ranch with some very interesting
data concerning the egg collecting
station at Duncan, b. c., which has
been in operation for more than a
year and has been of great financial
benefit to the farmers OF that district.
His letter follows:
At first the Caneichan egg collect
ing station organized with the general
rules, that all eggs must be delivered
at Duncan to be tested, from whence
they we're shipped to buyers. But
this arrangement was not found alto
gether satisfactory because of the cost
of testing eggs and, even then, some
eggs that would not be tip top would
go forward, so that first class name,
so much desired to enable us to obtai n
a premium for our eggs, was not OBJ
tanned So about year ago the egg
collecting station was reorganized;
this being accomplished by raising
over 81, 900 by subscription from
poultrymen, merchants. etc. A man
ager was appointed to inspect poultry
houses aud surroundings of all ship
pers of eggs, and those found up to a
certain standard were rated as No.
farms. upon signing an agreement, and
we're then enabled to ship direct to
the buyer upon receiving advice)
and are thus saved the cost of candl-
ing and expense of delivery to egg
collecting station. Also these No.
eggs soon made name for themselves
so that now a premium of five cents a

Railroads as to What They Will Dc.
The commission which viii har- the
expenditure of the proceeds of the
x1,0OO,00 state bond issue for the i'm
provement of New London harbor met
at New London Friday afternoon and
organized. Edward H Warner OF
Hartford was chosen chairman. Frank
v Chappell of New London was elected
secretary. The other members of the
commission are Gov. Simeon f. Bald
win, Mayor Bryan F. Mahan, Oliver
Gildersleeve Of Portland, William H
Caldwell of New Britain and Thomas F.
Noone of Vernon. All We're present.
The only other important matter
taken up by the commission was the
selection of a committee of two,
Messrs. Caldwell and Chappell, to con-
fer with the Grand Trunk and New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road com panies regarding the prefer
ed cooperation OF these roads. Off
Gals of each OF the roads have ex-
pressed willingness to act with the
of New London as a state port.
There was an informal discussion of
the possibilities which might be at
tanned. No plans for improving the
harbor were taken into consideration,
as it was agreed that the services of
an engineer of wide experience must
be secured before plans were under
taken. The appointment of engi-
neer will not be made until a, confer
ence with the railroads discIoses what
part they will take in the lettering of
the commercial advantages.
The commission on harbor improve
ment elected the same officers that
the rivers, bridges and harbors COM

Caldwell, Noone, Gildersleeve and
Chappell comprise the rivers, harbors
and bridges commission.

of Accidental Drowning.

of Accidental Drowning.
The body of a man was discovered
floating in the Thames river between
the Fishers Island and Norwich line
nrharves at New London Friday morn
ing about $50 o'clock. While the face
and hands had become quite badly
decomposed from contact with the
water. the body was fairly well pre-
served, which indicated that 1t had
been in the water a comparatively
short time.
At IL o'clock a thorough examina-
ton was made of the body by Medical
Examiner Lee. after which he gave a
verdict of accidental drowning There
were several wounds on the body, ap-
parently caused by being buffeted
against the wharf.
The man was about six feet, six
incheg, weighing about 1874 pounds. He
was attired in a dark suit and wore a
brown flannel shirt. He wore a belt
and overafls. The only thing found
on the body that NAV throw light on

in foreign language, thought to be
Polish.
