Balanced Pasture

‘Ii-re pasture committee of the Ontario Agricultural College have suggested improved grass mixtures for a poultry range, Mr. Nash re- ports. Whatever combination of grasses and ciovers may be used should provide a pasture rich in protein. minerals and vitamins. A good pasture will reduce the am- ount of [Kiln yr mash required- The pasture should be kept short. Frequent mowing is desirable. It keeps the grass in load shape for the chickensand at the same time controls the growth ci’ weeds.

Permanent pasture mixtures are growing in popularity among" poul- trymen. Different mixtures are used under different conditions of soil, exposure. drainage, tilth, etc. The mixtures should be made up of perennial grasses that grow well together and drought resistant clov- ers. The various gasses and clov-

"rexrshoaild" grow reasonably‘ well throughout the season. There are too many old meadows on which chickens are expected to get a liv- lng that contain not much more than June ‘grass- There la scarcely any good value in them.

Certain varieties of grasses and

. clover are much more palatable to poultry than others. It is also re- cognized that certain varieties have a greater nutritional value for poultry. Therefore, it is necessary ta incorporate these, more palat- able and nutritionally potent grasses into a pasture mixture for poultry.

A Landmark

One of Chariottetownb most noted, business landmarks -- the Monaghan building on Queen Street. facing the Market Square- will soon‘ be but a memory, Mak- ing wcy for a new Woolworth structure. it. is being demolished before the eyes of many. "old um. ers" who mingle with the crowds to watch for hours each day as the work of demolition progresses. Built more than sixty years ago by the late Mr. Hugh Monaghan it has housed many well-known business establishments since the original owner passed away. His daushier. Miss Mary Monaghan, is an elderly woman who cannot speak with much certainty con- cemlng the building's early his- tory.

As accurately as can be deter mined, it was erected in i800 and completed the following year. As the present generation knew it, the building was occupied, by three firms. each with an approximately equal frontage on Queen street- Carter's Book Store on the south. Jamlescxfs Drug Store in the centre. and the Wright Shoe Store on the north.

first Tenant

Its first tenant appearsta have been the late Mr. I... W. Watson. who previously conducted s drug store on lower Queen Street where the insurance office of l-Iyndman and Company Ltd., is now located. Mr. Watson moved in and occupied the central section of the Mon- aghsn building reoentl, vacated by Mr. Jarriieson. to whom he sold out.

The section formerly occupied by Carter's Book Store. and more recently by Messrs. Crockett and Storey, had as its original tenant Mr. Theophlius L. Chappell, who is reputed to be the first merchant in the city to hang out a sign. The earliest tenant of thenorth section was a Mr. Spregue. who

Spraguek Shoe Store. This was followed by the Alley Shoe Com- pany which remained in possession until the present-day firm. the Wright Shoe Company, took over.

The history attached to the ‘im- mediate vicinity of "the Mcnaghan building is filled with memorable names, including that of the Hon. Ben]. Davies, father of Sir Louis Davies, who about the year 1040 conducted a business on the west corner of Queen and ‘Richmond Streets. i

The Stewart Istate

Apart from the Davies property the whole of the west side of Queen street between Richmond and Grafton was then owned by Charles Wstewartr». Esq. ~~ dwelling house stood about where the middle of - the Monaghan building now stands. but slightly farther back. The_house was a one-storey wooden structure rais- ed high above the ground with seven or eight steps leading to the front door. Over the front door. seven pillars supported a look-out.

Mr. Stewart apparently thought well of his orchard. for a high wall. ' ' it. extended from his house to the Davies property. The Stewart stable was located on the corner of Queen and Graf- ton Streets. Later it gave way t0 a fine brick structure known as the Medical Hail and still later as Dodd and Rogers. and now famil- lar to ‘every Islander as the Rog- ers Hardware Co. Ltd.

Some time in the year i800, the Misses Stewart (they were three maiden ladies. Nellie. Mary and Margaret) sold part of the Stew-

lloted Cli’tolvn Business

conducted the business known as‘

. whoso-

Disappearing

"l? Property ta one Dr, Hcbkirk, who built a handsome dwelling on his new land. In the early 00's the Doctor sold his house and land to a Mr. Heard who then built a large brick store in which he did a successful business. Eventually, Mr. Heard moved the I-Iobkirk house back from the street and an its former location. erected an. other store which was later ac. curled by Perkins and Stems. the business p-edecessors of the well known present-day firm of Moore and Mcbeod, Lin.

Whell the work of demolishing the Moasauen building is complet- ed. the construction of a large modern store by the 1", W. Wool. Wori-h 0a.. 1.01., will begin. The contractors are tile Rand Con- ‘i-Yulluil" CWhPflny of Montreal and the foreman in charge of de- molition work is Mr. Joseph O'Neil.

of the Maritimes were certainly the most long suffering in Canada in the matter of freight discrimin- ation and probably the most long suffering in the world.

_ Cites Examples

Giving practical examples of the increased burden which" will fall on the shoulders of Maritime busi- ness and industry as the result of the increase. Mr. Brooks pointed out that the increase in rates on. 1.000 board feet of hardwood ship- ped from the Marltlmes to nronw would be 02.80. The increase no apples would be 27 cents a barrel and the increase in the cost , of fertilizer which is manufactured to a great extent in Ontario and zhipped to the Maritimes, 01.40 a on.

It was esential he sail that the Maritimes continue to find mar- kets for both their primary pro- ducts snd manufactured goods in Central Canada where they will be distributed in the densely-pop- ulaled areas. It will be particularly difficult for both farmers and manufacturers in the three Mari- time Provinces ta compete with farmers and manufacturers in On- tario and Quebec when the dice are loaded against them in the form of boosted freight-rates.

Members of the House applauded. shouted and laughed as Mr. Brooks listed by name a number of nationally known firms located in the bdaritime‘ Provinces which would be particularly hard hit by the new freight impact. The firms included those making shoes, underwear and clothing. o

Early today, W. Chester S. Mc- Lure, Progressive; Conservative member for Queen's handed in ms name to Mr. Speaker to be put on the list of those taking part in the freight debate. He will be given the floor either late tomorrow afternoon or early in the evening.

in one lump sum. The 104i portion is now being paid-

Mr. Sinnott said the inquiry which the Government had order- ed into the rate structure should be enough to ‘ ce the House that someth‘_ was being done about rate inequalities. 1-le hoped it would bring equality for both east. and west.

Mr. Isnor urged the removal of obstacles to the development of trade and suggested the scope of the proposed inquiry could be widened. He doubted whether the Board could go into the question of inequalities in a broad way under the present set-up.

Mr. Fulton said the rate struct- ture was a national problem- It was to the best interests of the country. the Province and the rail- ways that inequalities be ironed out. But he did not question the need of the railways for more re- venue.

Be held that the Board could have considered the discrimina- tory aspects cf the rates, even though the Case. was purely one of revenue.

The rate increase would lead to s. further boost. in the cost of liv- lllfl. It WOlil-d b0 felt meg-Q gel/gre- l? in EC. than elsewhere. And of the British Columblans, the farm- lns population would suffer most of all. The BC. fruit industry alane would lose $1,000,000 a year.

He said the question of in- creases being sought by railway workers should not. be injected into the debate. Their case should not be prejudiced.

Railway Iinanoea

Although the CPR. may have made out a case for a freight rate increase, the company's annual report showed it made a profit of 017,000,000 last year. Without any increase ln rates the company could have 8pm part way to meet wages demands, pending the ap- peal of.the Provinces.

If one C.N.R.'s capital structure was overhauled, it too would he able to make a profit. with such an overhaul, the GNJt. would be able to go part way to fill equip- ment needs and_ to meet wage de- mands.

Mr. Fulton said it was clear, then. that no one would be pre- Jlldloed by any delay in applica- tlpn of the increase, pending the appeal.

He argued that, the discrimina- tion should have been dealt with at the same time as the applica- tion far the increase.

Mr. Cnevrier in-terjected that counsel for the Provinces had stated before the Board that the application was concerned solely with a rate increase.

Mr. Fulton said it was his opin- ion tiiat the question of discrimi-

inatian was before the Board, but _

nothing was done about it.

The "Government should have insisted that discrimination be removed. It should not have walt- ed until protests forced it. 0o an- nounoe that an inquiry would be made into inequalities.

Mr. Slnnott said there should be no conflict between east and west. The issue should not be de- bated on regional or provincial grounds.

He said he understood that there was a Government order which prevented the C.N.R. from com- netins with the can. u the c.- NZR. were allowed to provide the competition, its traffic would in. crease and its revenues would be higher.

Mr. Isnor said that anything which prevented trade between one section of Canada and anoth.

er should be abolished.

Cst. A. M. Johnson, 10.0.1102, served notice yesterday to tho Clerk of the County Court for Queen's County that he will make application before the Supreme Court in Charlottetown on June 15 next to appeal the Judgment rendered» on April 7 last by Judge C. Gavan Duffy. The judgment granted damages of 0400 and costs to James Russell Smith of Char- lottetown against Cst. Johnson.

The adjudicating of the case oy Judge Duffy arose from the fact thereon Nov. 21 last Douglas Carr of Maple Hills swore to informa- tion bcfore Stipendlary-Maglstrate Gilbert Gauclet which accused James Russell Smith of Charlotte- lowly, of having stolen from Maple lfllls,‘ on or about Nov. 15, 1.118 square feerof” gyproc and five door frames.

0n Nov. 01, a warrant, signed by Stipendicry-Magistrate Gaudet was given Cst. Johnson ordering him to recover the gyproc and the door frames and to apprehend James Russell Smith.

The following day. Cst. Johnson. accompanied by other offi went to Smith's home but found no gyproc or door frames. Cst. Johnson removed the storm door from Smith's home and arrested Smith.

The case was heard before Mag- istrate Geudet on Dec. 0 and dis- missed. On Jan. 3rd Smith apps.»- ed before Stipendiary-Magistrste K. M. Martin on the charge of un- lawfully having in his - esslon a storm door the property of Doug- las Carr and again the case was dismissed.

Smith then sued Cst. Johnson for damages charging that John- son had trespassed an his property on Nov. 22 last and had by break-- ing and entering his house caused Mrs. Smith to suffer hemorrhages.

Judge Duffy, in rendering Judg- ment, told Cst. Johnson that he had excbeded "his brief semblance of authority." His Honour said there would have been some justi- fication for Cst. Johnson having torn the storm door loose and c‘ having forced rthe inner door had the officer been searching fol liquor’. Under such circumstances, I-lis Honour said, it would be un- derstandable why the officers should wish to make entrance im- mediately since the suspect could very well pour what liquor he might have down the sink in s few minutes. "But the plaintiff could not pour 1,118 square feet of gyproc and five door frames down the sink," His Honour said.

Freight Increase Hard 0n Halifax

HALIFAX, April 14 -- (C?) - Govcmment and waterfront offici- als today protested anew against increased freight rates as they considered its latest ramification- diverslon of vessels from this port to nvolde long rail hauls for their cargoes.

First example of this was the freighter Martha Kleppe, which arrived illere today from Suez with 3.100 tons of peanut products and other cargo consigned to Hamilton.

When about 1.000 tons had been discharged. the oonsignees changed their instructions and ordered the ship to New York, From there the goods would be sent to a Great Lakes port.
