came round he threw himself heart and
soul on the Conservative side and ac-
companied Premier Bennett throughout
all his campaign. Mr.. Bennett proflted
greatly by his help and such was his
opinion of Mr.. Herridge's abilities that
he conscripted him for service at the
late Imperial Conference as his chief
personal assistant. There Herridge got
his first experience of the larger issues
Of Statecraft and ever since he has been
Premier BENEFITS closest confldante.
Maj. Herridge has come to be known
by the opposition press as the Colonial
House" of Ottawa, and after Mr.. Ben
nett took him to Washington in jan
uary, his appointment as Canada's Min
lister has been freely forecasted.
For his new post Maj. Herridge has
many high qualifications. He Is
handsome man, in the prime OF life,
with a robust physique and engaging
manners A good soldier and an able
lawyer, he is also an experienced man
of the world and the most charming
of companions.
Never fond Of formal society the
major loves his friends and is famous
he gives at intervals in Ottawa. He Is
not addicted to games or sports and
his favorite form Of recreation has been
to retire for week ends to a country
cottage which he built for himself at
Lake Mousseau, a lovely lake nesting
in the hills of the Gatineau Valley
north of Ottawa. There he finds respite
from work in fishing, cutting down trees
and improving his property.

FALL. To BRING

MARKET
Present Outlook for Either
Long or Short Pull Buying
Is Cloudy, Says Spectator
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, May 21.-The
only favorable point in Wednes-
days session was the firmness in
the rail group, but this failed to
offset the persistent liquidation
which came into other sections
of the market, and the Standard
Statistics index of industrials,
utilities and composite stocks
moved to new low ground for the
decline.
Look Toward Autumn
While the present outlook is
such as to discourage buying
operations of even the long Iull
sort, far-seeing interests not i'm
mediately concerned with the
exact time at which the decline
will have spent itself, say an
improved market running into
the fall will be evidenced in
later months. The following rea-
sons are presented:
The best crop prospects in q
number Of years.
Under-conSumption of goods by
the public for a period of 10
months.
The price level itself created by
the decline this spring is now
attractive enough in many securi.
ties to invite commitments for
both long and short term.
On merely seasonal basis the
great volume of American buSi-
ness is done in the late summer
or early fall.
Fear for Rail Bonds
A prominent advisory service
points out that unless there is an
early increase in railroad rev.
enues or a further reduction IN
costs, there is more than an even
chance that some billion and a
quarter dollars of railroad bonds
now legal for savings bank in
vestmentS in various States will
fail to maintain their status
after the close of 1881.

United States Steel staged

Reply OF W. G. Gilbert To Morgan
Township Trustees

Your answer to my inquiry was
| unsatisfactory, as it explained moth
| ing and some of the statements
were inaccurate. You say you did
! not appropriate a cent for roads No.
35 and 80 in Meigsville township.
J Then why do the records of the
county commissioners show that
you agreed to pay the county the
sum of $4,000 for the improvement
there being no mention made that
it was to be used only in Morgan
township? Then you say only 4
small portion is in Meigsville town
ship, when if you will consult the
county atlas you will see that more
than one and one-half miles Of No.
80 are in Meigsville township, with
only about one-half mile in Nor
gan township. You say the mill
levy belongs to the commissioners
and not to the trustees; you failed
to add that by resolution of the
commissioners they agreed to turn
back the 2-mill levy to the taxing
district in which it was raised. You
could have had this 2-mill levy for
roads in Morgan township, if you
had SO desired Therefore, when
you caused this to be diverted to
Meigsville township roads, you were
using funds that really belonged to
Morgan township. / do not object
to No. 35 which is practically all in
Morgan township, but l do object
to building No. so, which is mostly
in Meigsville, while Morgan town
ship still has roads to improve. No
80 which you turned down in favor
of No. 80 has been a mail route for
over 25 years. Had you omitted
building the mile and a half in
Meigsville township, you would
have had funds sufficient for both
No. 80 and No. 35 in Morgan town
ship.
Yes, l am interested in educa-
tion, but why not let Meigsvile
township build their own roads over
which to haul their pupils?-W G.
Gilbert.
