MOTOR 'BUS OVERTURNED I NEAR NEVIN. DBIVER KILLED AND SEVERAL PASSENGERS I INJURED. An inqnest was held at Nevin on Friday night on the body of Thomas Jones, motor driver, who was killed in an accident the previous night. Mr John Griffiths, Chief Constable, appeared for the police, and Mr Arthen Owen, Pwllheli, for the Nevin Motor -Omnibus Company. Seven school children who were returning from Pwll- heli County School were injured. Mrs Davies, wife of Mr Ellis Daviee, M.P., who managed to crawl ? from underneath the car, is still suffering from in- juries to her arms and ear, as well aa from shock. ? Mi*6 Lioyd, daughw of the late Bev. J. L?yd, lector of Aberdaron, ie also suffering from shock. Alderman G. Hughes Roberts, Edern. who was in the car, explained that he was sitting near the driver 1 on the front seat of the omnibus on its return journey. .When they were almost at the crest of the Bodfean ( Hill the car stopped to put, down a paeeengcr for about a minute. The car gtartcd to run backwards I, downhill. He jumped down to place stonee under the wheels, but failed to stop it. The speed increased, and the omnibus crashed against the wall at the bottom £ of the hill, and turned a complete somersault. It was very difficult to extricate the passengers owing to the pitch darkness of the night and heavy rain. It took nearly two hours to release them all. Mr Thomas Jones, conductor, gave similar evidence. In answer to the Chief Constable, he said they had So iron bars at the back of the car to prevent it from F funning backwards. They sometimes carried a block to place against the wheels, but this time they were without one, and failed to get gtonea ae a substitute. Mr Griffith Jones, another driver, said he was ait- ling near the driver on the front seat, and observed y him attempting to put tho engine in motion after [' stopping on the top of the hill. He jumped down ■ ao assist the others in their attempt <o stop M. Replying to the Chief Constable, be said he could not explain how the driver failed io stop the car. f- He believed that he at temped to use the hand brake. It was not a custom to take off the brake until the engine was in motion. Mr 0. H. Parry, managing director of the company, ■*■ said that the car was carefully examined by the driver, who was a competent mechanic, a few days J previously. He examined the car after the accident, and found the brakes and engine intact and in order, Neither the brakes nor the engine Was in rear. Any k one of the two brakes would have been sufficient to stop the omnibus on any hill between Nevin and Pwll- ,0' heli. Answering the Chief Constable, he said that the omniböse8 were controlled by a limited company. His opinion was that the driver had taken the brake off before putting the engine in action. The Coroner remarked that the cause of the acci- dent remained quite a mystery. The brakes appeared to be in working order, but the driver apparently failed to apply thcm. lie called attention to the habit of overloading public motors, remarking that that tended to weaken the capacity of the brake; also to the desirability of providing a drop bar or a block I at the back of the 'busos in ease of emergency. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and recommended the coinpany to provide a drop bar or r a block with the cars. A vote of sympathy was passed with the V widow and her five children.

1- GWYRFAI RURAL COUNCIL. [; "WAR BONDS FOR ROADMEN. WAR BONUS FOR'ROADMEN. A spccial meeting of the Gwyrfai Rural Council was held at Carnarvon, on Saturday, Mr 0. T. Bughes pre6ding. T committee recommended a war bcMa 01 Is w)y to the permanent roadmen, who number thirty. jt was stated that this was the first bonus given the Mr T. J. Lloyd thought the remmmeTidation-2d a day—was rather meagre. He proposed an ineream-of 4d a day up to March next. when the question might be further considered. Mr Pritchard seconded, saying that 2d a day was an insignificant increase for the winter months- Mr H. Parry agreed that the suggested increase waa moaH, but the ratepayers were also complaining. Woo'd it not be possible to give the 4d a day increase, but to do with fewer roadmen, taking care that the old men were retained. Mr Thomas Jones (Portdinorwic) said the commit- tee recommended 2d after considering all the circnin- stances- The Council should rememlier that the rate- payers were &W suffering, and there were a Ia-rgo

CARNARVON BOARD OF GUARDIANS. HONORARIUM FOR WORKHOUSE MASTER. I APPOINTMENT OF STAFF Nl'TtSE. 1 The monthly meeting of this Board was held on Saturday, the Chairman (Mr J. C. Lloyd Williams) presiding. The House Committer in the if report, stated that the Master had been doing the porter's work for the last five weeks, and he aeked the Board to recognise his work. The committee, however, were of opinion that the officials should help each other and made uo recommendation. Mr H. Parry proposed a vote of thanks to the Master for the extra work he had done in the work- house owing to shortage of staff. Mr R. W. Jones remarked that compliments were cheap. He thought the motion should take a more tangible form. He moved that 92 should 'be given the Master. He feared that the House Committee were not dealing fairly with the Master. < Mr R. J. Roberts eaid that the Master asked for some honorarium and the committee did not think it right. There was no feeling against the Master. Mr John Jones remarked that it was not fair to say some members had personal animus against the Master. Rev. Ishmael Evans thought the Board should be fair towards the Master. Mr II. Parry considered the Master should not have applied for an honorarium. He should have waited for the Gnardians to move in the first instance. Mr R. W. Jones insisted that some members of the House Committee had personal animus against the Alaster, and he intended attending the next Houso Committee to tell the members in question what he thought of them. Rev. Ishmael Evans hoped the Board would steer clear of any personalities. By a majority it was decided to give an honorarium of £2 2s. APPOINTMENT OF STAFF NURSE. I Out of nine applicants, Miss Edith Roberts, Kinner. I ton, Chester, WM appoint? Btaff nurse at the Eryri  Military Hwpital. CLERICAL WORK. I It was decided to apply to the Local Government I Board to allow 309 a week in respect of the clerical work in connection with the military hospital. j TENDERS ACCEPTED. I Tenders were accepted for the next half-year from Messrs Lake and Co., groceries; Messrs Boots Ca«h Chemists, drugs; Henry Owen, meat; David Hum- phreys, vegetables, etc.; J. Jones, Ithyddallt, milk, 3d a, quart; and H. E. Roberts, coffins. Mr Davies pointed out that all the tenders were from Carnarvon tradesmen. Were tenders invited from outside ? The Chairman: I don't know, but I do not see how they can tender at any cheaper rate. I notice that the tender for coflins is only 25s for inmates Ahove 14 years of age. I ENTERTAINING WOUNDED SOLDIERS. I Tfie committee appointed to make arrargemcilfa for entertaining the boldiers at the Eryri Hospital pre- W-nted their report. It was proposed to place the Llanrug Room and the children's room at the disposal of the soldiers for their entertainments; that tlie Cierk write to the different cbapels asking them to arrange sacred concerts on Sunday evenings a.-id to be responsible for the Sunday morning services; and also to provide entertainment during the week. The report was adopted. It waa stated t-hat Mrs Souther- by, an Anglesey lady, had provided a. billiard table for the men. I MAINTENANCE OF ASYLUM PATIENTS. I Mr J. JE. Williams complained tnat persona were being removed to Denbigh Asylum ae pauper patients who were able to pay for their keep. It was decided to l<cruUnl8e the list of patients from the Carnarvon Union at the Asylufli to ascertain whether any there at the public expanse were ible to pay for. their keep.

THE CROPS IN SEP7'EM BER. AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS IN NORTli WALES. The reports furnished by the Crop KeporterB of the Board of Agriculture on agricultural con- ditions in England and Wales state that Septem- ber was fci-nerally favourable to agriculture throughout the country. The firct few days were rainy, but the subsequent dry weather, if cold and dull. enabled good progress to bo made with the corn harvest, which was nearly all completed, except in hilly districts, by the end of the month. The harvest was, however, rather protracted, largely owing to the bioak in the weather at the beginning' of the month, and reporta as to the con- dition of the crop when harvested vary a good deal; in the east more eepecially tlie reports are ItS satisfactory. The Board's report relative to the counties of Anglesey, Carnarvon, Flint, Denbigh, and Mer- ioneth is as follows Corn Harvest.—Th o first part of September was wet and very little harvesting was done. The latter part of the month was finer, and farmers were ablo to make progress. In some oases the corn was gathered in bad condition, and some had nprouted. Harvesting was practically com- pleted by the end of the mon/th. Potatoes.—Although some disease has made an appearance, on the whole the crop is satisfactory, and an average yield is anticipated. Lifting of the main crop has just begun. Roots are very healthy, but lack size. They have improved during the month Weeds are prevalent in north-east Merioneth, owing to laok of labour. Turnips and swedes will probably yield an average crop, whilst mangolds should be just under average. Autumn Cultivaticn.-Ploughin. is in progress in some districts, but vcrv little cleaning of the land had been done, whilst in some districts no- thing has been done yet. Seeds appear to 00 strong and healthy, except in one or two cases whore damSige ensued from the laying of corn crops during August. Pastures and Live Stock.—Pastures are look- ing well, and there is a plentiful supply of grass. Ftoek have done well generally, and arc in ex- cellent condition. Labour is deficient in oome districts, but farmers have assisted one another in many cases. Casual labour is still hard to obtain.

I MECHANICAL MILKING. I REDUCING COST AND LABOUR. There is little doubt (says a writer in the Daily Telegraph) but that the oost of milk, the price of which is now so high as to provoke both gen- eral protest and the prospect of Government action, could be reduced if farmers would adopt the meohanicai method of milking. On an up-to-date farm in Herefordshire a milk- ing macihine, in charge of one man, de,.1" with seventy cows, which, were hand milking in vogue, would require at least five expert milkers. The plant includes a vacuum pump driven by a li horse-power motor, a.nd connected by pipes to the milking machines that are placed in the oow's atalls. The machinery has a capacity for deal- Jng with eighty-eight eowi, the cost of opera- tion being but a mere fraction of the wages of the men who would otherwise be employed. There need be no milk famine, and no re- questr, to the Tribunals for the exemption oi milkers, if only farmers would adopt the mechan- ical process. It is one that has everything to recommend it. Apart from reducing the cost of milk, the use of this plant tends to give cleaner milk since human hands and clothes do not oome in contact with the animals, whilst if electricity is used for lighting the further possibility of oon- tamination of the milk through the paraffin lan- terns usually employed is avoided.

I FARM FIRE NEAR WREXHAM. I Damage estimated at between £ 500 and B600 was caused by a fire which broke out on Satur- day morning at Rhos Farm, near Wrexham, the tenant of which is Enooh Jones. A portion Off the buddings wae gutted and a quantity of hay destroyed The Wrexham Fire Brigade, under Supt. Rarnott., turned out with the motor fire engine, and alt-liouifh handicappod by water difficulties, they were instrumental in preventing the flames from spreading to the adjaoeot farmhouse.

I FARM NOTES. I In their return of market prices for the week ending October 4th the Board of Agriculture state that trade for cattle has again been easier, any alteration of prices being in a downward iirection. At King's Lynn and Lincoln, owing Lo shorter supplies, all ciassea of fat cattle were a shade dearer, but at several other plams, ;io,a,bly s h a d o doarer, SlouccHtei, Guildford, Leeds, Newcastle-oiV-ryne, Norwich, and Salford, they declined in price from id to id per lb. Taking the trade generally, good quality we11- fed Hearts remain in fairly steady demand, burt the inferior eforts, which continue to form the bulk of the supply &t nearly all markets, are in many cases difficult to sell, even at the lower rates now ruling. The average rate over all markets for best quality beasts is now about 13s 5d per stone, or Hid per lb., against 15s IOd per stone, or 13id per lb., last June, when prices were the highest experienced for many years. With regard to hvo weight prices, the best quality Herefords now average about 60s, a.nd Shorthorns 57a 6d per live cwt., while third quality in each oane has realised 43s; theee prices show a fall of abotut 16s 6d per live cwt. com- pared with the June quotations. > Trade for both fihesp and lambs has been fairly steady; at some places, notably Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, Shrewsbury and Wellington (Salop), there was a siight advance, while at others, in- cluding Darlington, Gloucester, Leeds, Norwich, and Penrith, they were cheaper, the average rate over all markets remaining very similar to la&t week. Pig3 have been offered in large numbers at most owin? partly to the high prices, as well as to the scarcity of meal. Prices have slightly re-actc-d; at Birmingham and Manchester the average quotations show a fall of 6d and 3d per score respectively, while at Ipswieh the live- weight quotation for the befit quality bacons do- clined from 9s 8d to 98 2d per 141b. ebo-ne. Best quality dairy oows, with a good show of milk, continue in great demand; prioes at Pen- rith ranged up to JB50 58, with an average for 12 of t4 76 6d per head. At Shrewsbury 1:50 was paid for a Shorthorn oow and calf, and at Preston the five best cows averaged R44 lie with a top quotation of £47, At several sheep salee held during the week the demand has been steady. At the Pound- bury fair (Dorchester) Dorset Horn ewes were in great request, making up to 100o each, whiie at the Barton fair at Gloucester there was keen competition for the best quality ewes and good strong lamb3. prices on the average ehowdng an advance of akwxvt 10s per head for bor.h ewea and lambs compared with last year. Increased price of milk has aroused much in- dignation amongst the South Wales rninws, who propose a. boycott until the Government inter- :rl. A small bull calf fetched £100 at a farmer's sale at Usk (Monmouthshire) on Tuesday. English wheat at Hull corn market was 2s per quarter dearer, making 62s to 63s 6d. The Duke of Westminster's Halstead Rob Roy" has been hired for next season by the Mont- gomeryshire District Entire HorM Association. There is no longer any room for doubt OIl the subject of the potato crop. Bli- ht is universal in the large growing districts, and supplies will be short. Already the market is rising steadily. Seed potatoes* will probably realise twice the sums paid in normal times. Quotations for artificial fertilisers for February deliveries are unobtainable, and the price ia sure to be high. There are likewise many labour diffi- culties to face. Among the vegetables eent to a Sheffield dis- trict haxveet festival was a red cabbage turning the scale at 5ólbs. Four BritMi Queen potatoes, grown by a local farmer, weighed 111b. There waa an increase all round at Reading Corn Market on Saturday. Wheat WII., Is 6d up, flour 18¡ oats Is, beana le, rye Is, and barSey 1s 6d. Whftaii realised 66s 6d per quarter and barley 64a 6d, while flour made 57s. At Aberdeen, on Tuesday, a six monger old Shorthorn bull calf belonging to Mr William- son Duthie, of Collynie, was "d for 2200 guineas to Mr Marshall Matthew, of Stnwiraer. ■Rie Widnces Corporation last year adopted the to 'T%e Widpew C? OT Ezr? of Agriculture aM d?- suggestion of the Board of Agriculture and de- voted a portion of Victoria Park for agricultural purposes. At Che meeting of the Council, on Tuesday, Mr Turton sta>ted that the scheme had proved satisfactory. Out of eight sacks gown tihey had realised 56 sacks, and out of throe owts. of potatoes planted they had a return of 56 owts. £ he totai profit waa £4Q,
