K. . to '“r ‘ one olwn& \h'a: Waited upon the Dominion _ Governâ€" ment this week, asking for an inâ€" crease of duty on suspender googs. It is the intention of Mr. Bricker, the manager of what has long been known as the "Sweet Briar‘" farm about two miles south of Berlin, to plant a patch of tobacco this year. Mr. Bricker came here from near Leamington, in the County of Essex, and is a practical tobacco grower, having been engaged in its culture in that part for years. This gentleman says tobacco growing is very proâ€" fitable as compared with ordinary mixed farming. The great point is tu know, how to handle the plants and take proper care in harvesting the crops. Mr. Bricker says they were very much troubled with the tobacco wormâ€" in the County _ of Essex, which destroys the plants as the potato bug devours potato vines. It has heretofore been conâ€" sidered dangerous to apply . Paris green. Mr. D. H. Heist, C. E., of Sait Lake City, ° brother of Mt. E. D. Heist of this town, has been . apâ€" pointed a United States deputy minâ€" eral surveyor. He has entered partâ€" nership with H. D. Page, M. E., of that city. Both of these young men are Canadians who are winning sucâ€" tess in Uncle Sam‘s domains. € . Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Doerr enterâ€" tained the W. O. H. A. champions and lady friends at home _ on Gzowski street on. Wednesday evenâ€" ing. Dancing _to orchestra musit was the feature. 4 The monthly meeting of the Board cf Trade Council on Thursday evenâ€" ing was of an interesting character, on account of the attitude taken by the members on different questions that are receiving the attention . of other Boards of Trade throughout the Dominion. A resolution from the Orillia Board of Trade stating that the time bad come when Canâ€" ada ~ could offer free trade to the Mother Country in return for a subâ€" stantial preference in her markets, was too~ much free trade for the members and it wasâ€"laid on the taâ€" ble. Other resolutions met with more favorable consideration. Mr. .1. P. Bell, owing to his removal to Brantford, resigned the position of viceâ€"president. Members of _ the Board expressed their regret at Mr. Bell‘s departure, and spoke of his usefulness as a member of toe Board. Those present _ were President Robt. Smyth, J. P. Bell, C. A. Abâ€" rens, jr., H. L. Janzen, S. J. Wilâ€" liams, G. M. Shirk, J. U. Clemens, C. K. Hagedorn and Secretary H. J. Sims. _A communication _ was read from Mr. J. E. Seagram, M. P., promising to give his attention to the petition of the Board for inâ€" creased postoffice accommodation. The action of the Town _ Cquncil at its last meeting in granting an exclusive franchise for five years to the Bell Telephone Co., called forth strenuous opposition on the part of some of the members of the Board of Trade Council. They did not think that the town was doing the proper thing in granting this corâ€" poration a monopoly of the teleâ€" phone business of the town, when other towns and cities are endeavorâ€" ing to get out of its clutches. A motitn was passed instructing the secretary â€" to communicate . to Mayor Eden, requesting him ta . reâ€" frain from sending the signed . conâ€" tract until after a subsequent meetâ€" ing of the Board of Trade Council, when the matter will be di)cussed. A petition dealing with the "Act respecting the Bell Telephone Comâ€" pary of Canada," as found in . anâ€" other column was endorsed by the Council. Accounts amounting to were ordered to be paid. Mr. G. M. Debus gave a verbal reâ€" port of the joint meeting of repreâ€" sentatives of the Boards of Trade of Berlin, Stratford, Guelph and Waâ€" terloo, with Mr. M. C. Dickson â€" of the G. T. R. Mr. Debus had every assurance _ that some of the grievâ€" ances would be remedied. Mr. J. P. Bell reported on behalf of the postoffice accommodation comâ€" mittee, and gave an account of the meeting with Mr. Ogilvie, the Govâ€" ernment architect. Secretary Sims was authorized to thank on behalf of the Board, Genâ€" eral Manager Chas. M, Hays of the Grand Trunk Railway, and Hon. J. Israel Tarte, . Minitter of Public Works, for their promptness in acâ€" knowledging the â€"petition of the Board of Trade. ; ‘The Berlin Novelty Ladder Co. want aid from the town in the shape of an . to erect a new rwy matter was referred to Inâ€" rial Committee. ENDORSE IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS. Berlin News A NEW INXDUSTRY $10.80 is e impressed & . 3B â€" «Ou : u.r-:'y-lw was demonâ€" strated on Wednesday :evening by the ‘l:r. m:h-n of illho: men others meeting the Finance 00-&2 of the ©Berâ€" lin Town Council. ‘The object of the meeting was to meet Mr. John Patâ€" terson to secure from him the terms upon which _ be will nfit â€" bis road to Berlin at the ear! possiâ€" bie date. Mr. Patterson told the Finance Committee that if the Town Council purchases the right of way through the private lands as mapped out by Em Hiliman, , â€" and grants a tr i over parts of David, Charles,â€" Victoria andâ€" Breithaupt streets, he will guarantee to have bis cars in operation as far as Alâ€" bert street at the east end by Auâ€" gust 1st of «this year. Owing to having to cross the G. T. R. at two different points, â€"which will reâ€" quire the _ consentiof the Railway Committee, Mr. Patterson could not guarantee _â€"to. ~have <the railway through ‘Berlin completed by ~Auâ€" gust. > Ald. Carl+Kranz, chairman of the Finance Committee, preSided, q Mayor Eden, Alds. Braun, Honsberâ€" ger, Gross, Collard, Vogt, Weber, Bricker and Cochrane, were in their places. Among those present were Messrs. S. J. Williams, Robt. Smyth, C. K. Hagedorn, K. Muelier, J. S. Hoflman, G. M. Debus, A. Jacques, Ed. Smyth, F. Colquhoun, and over 100 others. Messrs. John Patterson, Hamilton, â€" and C.‘R. Hanning, Preston, were in attendâ€" ance. Mr. C. R. Hanning was called upâ€" on to address those present, and reâ€" lated in a few _ words that if the town vill purchase the land required as per plan submitted in order to get through the south part of the town, and also the &flnte land from Wilmot street to the Waterloo bounâ€" dary line, and grant a franchise on parts of David, Charles, Breithaupt and Victoria streets, the Berlin & Preston Railway Co, will guarantee to complete the line as far as . Alâ€" bert street by August 1st. They were willing to make a few changes in the routes recommended by the engineer at such places as the Counâ€" cil may see fit. The company‘s finâ€" ances are in such a shape now as to enable them to complete the road. Mr. Hagedorn favored the route outlined by the company, and thought that na better could have been decided upon by the company. He had expected that they might run along Tuerk street and thus open the much desired Tuerk street crossing. The private land required is not valuable property and would not cost very much to purchase. He was satisfhied that a satisfactory cut could be made at Victoria Park without running through the athleâ€" tic grounds. He was in favor of the Council entering into negotiations with the company and grant their request with one exception, namely, that they do not purchase the land required north . of Kan(nu{n_‘u lacâ€" tory. _ He felt that if Waterloo wanted C. P. R. connection it should purchase the right of way from that point. Mr. Hanning did not think it was legal for Waterloo to purchase a right of way through Berlin proâ€" perty. + Mayor Eden said that Berlin could purchase the land, and Waterloo pay this town the cost of the right of way. ) Mr.tumln‘ said they could guarâ€" antee have the line completed as far as Albert street by August 1st, but not up to Kaufman‘s, as the G. T. R. has to be crossed at two points and it will require the conâ€" sent of the Railway Committe" to get across the G. T. R. tracks. The company would like to build to Waâ€" terloo direct when building through Berlin. Mr. Hanning asked if the company waived their request for a right of way to Waterloo, if the town would extend the franchise on Breithaupt strget as far as Lancaster stre)t. Mayor. Eden _ answered that the town had before them a proposition from the Berlin & Bridgeport Comâ€" pany, and the Council was a unit that the railway toâ€" Bridgeport should be built. Personally he was in favor of extending the franchise on Breithaupt _ street to Lancaster street on condition that the B. & P. Co. grants running rights over their tracks to the B. & B. Co. Or the B. & P. Co. could let the other company have the franchise and they secure running rights. It is the unanimous opinion of the Council that Mr. Patterson‘s proâ€" position be accepted, and as the cost of the 15 acres of private land will mummm-u.mmsdm nnenhup«lr’hflm this year‘s tax rate, if economy is pracâ€" ticed by the various committees. ‘The meeting #djourned at 9.30. . lnto-:‘ers ot tbodunfi'! mmmu-â€"m& work should be conducted to k !fl*fllfliflfi& C.

Will you please convey my warmâ€" est thanks to each one who had a part in presenting _ me with these magnificent pieces of furniture.
