In making small repairs in the rtmds he pointed out that the expendi- ture amountoil lo practically as much ns if more substantial roads were built. In Ihe last ten years the municipalities had contributed about $10,000,000 cash 'n the improving of their . roa*is. He .said Ihol this money, if properly hand- led, would be sulilcient lo oonslnicl â- roadwajis that would last Por at kast a period of ten years. He believed that if tho County Councils would take over this wxu-k and avail UienKelves of the tinovtslona of the act Uie Township Councils would be ready to offer their, aaslstanoa In the work of making good mads.

The parcel was addressed to the local branch of tho Bank of Montr real, aud had been shipped by the ito- ceiver-Oen^ral's ofllce In Toronto. It was received by the agent of the ex- press company, .Mr. L. E. Wright, from Ihe raes.senger on the train. Upon re- crlving the parcel Mr. Wright placed it upon Uio truck with other parcels, and engaged In other duties, which at tho lime arc rushed, more especially when the train Is late as was the case on Thursday. Ho lost sight of it bul for a moment, bul when he turned his attention to it It was gone, and since nc traco of it has been found. The po- lice were notified, but up to six o'clock en Thursday night they have failed to secure the thief, altlwugh several clueJ have boen followed up. The parcel was ii.ade up In the usual way. It is thougfit Ihe party who took the parcel must have be«'n watching Mr. Wright very closely, as the time was so very short between its reception from the messen- ger on the train and its dbappecrancc., Several men were standing around, bul a!l profess to know nothing.

Cha{lan, Dominion tobacco expert, In giving evidence on Wednes- day Uifoaie the Committoo on Agricul- ture regarding the tobacco-growing pos- slbilitias of tne country. Sonw of the varleliea of tobacco at present grown in Canada were, he admitted, very In- ferior, but others had proved highly successful both In Quebec and Ontario. Out of 10,000,000 pounds of tobacco grown In Canada, probably 1,000,0% pounds were of an Inferior quality. Quebeo and Ontario grew tobacco in alMUl equal preportlons and aSout lhreM|u«rten e( the total quantity grown WW manufaolurad. H« was in favor of legt&lation which would «o- oouKige Iho fanners to grow tohaoeo. What was particularly needed was pro|>er packing liouaos and the eelab- O^hmcnl of these would lead lo good results. Mr. Charlan produced saniplea of Canadian tobacco for cigar binding which, he declared, was equal to an^ thln^ grown in Wisconsin. Mr. Duncan Boss, M. P., submitted samples of Canadian clgarn which ht said were equal in quality to llavanas. Mr. Wlgle, a large tobacco grower al Klngsville, abo gave evidence. Earn and Kent, he said, were well suited tor tobacco growing purposes and â- mUk 9cme cnooiirwgemenl from the Govena- ment, especially in the direclk^a of poA- Ing houses, his district could grow t>«-enty-av« to thirty million pouaK, •
