While the tapping of the Guelphâ€" QGoderich road by lines from Berlin and" Stratford will carry something their way which would otherwise uo past them‘to Goelph and _ Toron:o, it will mean more business for iLe road, and that will help the reâ€" ceipts of the Guelph Junction part of it, in which this city has so large & Anancial interest. * Still _ another â€" feedet _ for _ the QGuelphâ€"Goderich line is now â€" under consideration. It is proposed to exâ€" tead the electric railway system from Berlin and Watcerloo notthward _ to comnect with the line. . Both towns voted a sim of $10,000 each some time ago toward this scheme, _ and its completion, it is felt, would be a boon to them. Mr. Leonard was in Berlin on Saturday, and had. a meeting with prominent men of | the Twinâ€"City to discuss terms. _ â€" St. Marys is asked for $35,000 to carry the proposed new branch there from Stratford, and, judging by the antiety . manifested by leading men there for a year or two past to get ©C,. P. R. connection, it is likely this sum will be carried by the ratepayâ€" ers of that town. ing a divisional point on the Grand Trunk, the influence of that comâ€" pany there is strong. On the one hand, it is said if this C.P.R. branch is going through that way, Stratford will get it anyway; on the other, that the line might pass Stratford by. : The latter possibility is exâ€" actly what happened in the experiâ€" ence of Tuelph with reference to the t. P. R. The people of this «ty thought they had all the railway competition they necded, with the Grand Trunk and old Great Western Railways, before they amalgamated, and refused to considet a bonus to the Credit Valley linc, now the C. P. R. Geo. Laidlaw, its promoter, threatened to make the grass grow on our streets by giving us the goâ€" by, and built the line ten miles to the south of us. It is true, his preâ€" Aiction was not fulfilled, as â€"regards the decline of Gueciph, yet, after a ftew years, we came to think conâ€" mection with the road so essential to our progress that we built the fiftcen mite branch to Guelph Junction, at a cost of nearly $200,000 to the city, under the present arrangement with the C. P.R. for its operation by the company . %, lesley, is to Stratford, St. Marys and Ingersoll. Stratford is asked for & $30,000 bonus to bring the road through that city, to which there promises to be some opposition. Beâ€" ing a divisional point on the Grand This project is growing in imâ€" portance since it was first mooted. That the traffic is expected to be cxâ€" tensive is indicated by the absence of heary grades and curves and by the large rails which are being provided. Feeders, both north and south of the main division, are proposed, which will largely augment the traffic. . So far there are three of these branches projected. One of these, to the north, is to Listowel. Another, from â€" Welâ€" here "of large shipments of | rails, switches and other matcrial for the road indicate the approach ofâ€" the finishing stages of the work, though it is now certain that it will not be tready for operation the coming fall, would be. Its completion to Goderich as was at one time anticipated it will probably take at. least another The indefinite promise of the C. P. R. of several years ago, to extend the Guelph Junction Railway to Lake Huron, is now fast maturing. _ Gradâ€" ing ahd bridge construction is well under_ way, and the recent arrival In speaking of the advantages of the extension of the Guelph Junction Railway the Mercury has the followâ€" ing interesting article:â€" Anotber feature in connection with the construction of the Welleslcy exâ€" tension that is frequently spoxen oi is the fact that the C. P. R.. is at present building an extension of the Guelph Junction Railway to Go@«â€" erich, a portion of which will pass through Woolwich _ and Wellesley townships. By the clectric railway connection between _ Welleslicy and Galt there would be a speedy transfer for the northern traffic to the south and vice versa. The pbenomenal success of the Preston and Berlin Railway since its operation will be a conclusive arguâ€" ment that a further extension to the nerth will be equally successful. The méeting of the Berlin and Watâ€" erloo representatives of the respecâ€" tivé Boards of Trade, and Mr. Gco A. , M. P., of Preston, with rs. J. W. Leonard and E. B. Osler, of the C.P.R. directors, _ and the assurance of the latter that every consideration would be given to the comstruction of the railway extension between Berlin and Waterloo and Welâ€" lesley, has created considerable enâ€" thusiasm among the business men of Berlin. All of them are agrecd that it would be a paying investment for any company to connect the county town with Wellesley township, _ and are satisfied that when the &. P. R. engineers arrive in Berlia and malk+ a thorough investigation of the condiâ€" tion of affairs they will recommind that the extension be coustructed at. the earliest possible date | Construction of the Railway Exâ€" tension to Wellesiey by C. P. R. is Certain to be a Benefit to this Town _â€"‘and Vicinity. gstems. ww WOULD BE A BOON _ _TO WATERLOO The appeal was heard on Wednesâ€" day by Judge Barron, of Stratford, sitting for Judge Chisholim. _ After argument the judge gave judgment alâ€" lowing the appeal and deciding that the estate should not pay the duty. . The â€" Provincial Government has been endeavoring to assess the,estate of the late Dr. Bowlby with a sueâ€" cession duty on the ground that the estate is over‘ $100,000 in value. The main question in dispute was wheth or the sum of $12,000. life insurance is part of the estate. The Sherif made a valuation under the Act, inâ€" cluding the insurance, and from that \'a_luu!irm the estate appealed.

One man will be able, with this topper, to top at least an. acre ol beets a day.
