PROPOSED SALARY TO THE CHAIRMAN OF BARRY COUNCIL. To the Editor of the Barry Dock News." .Sir,—As we are invited to give our opinion on the subject of an annual salary to the, Chairman of the District Council, 1, for one, would ask, Why should we? The honour of being elected to the chair should be ample payment. Is there not enough of fighting now to get on the Council? If councillors cannot spare the time for the public, and grudge to pay a few pounds when they have the honour of being chairman, then they should not be allowed on the Council, nor to sit in the chair. We want men there that will put their heart and soul into the work for the good of the district, and not for a matter of £ s. d., and there are many in the district who are too willing to do it. I think there is more to be said against pay- ing the chairman than for it. There are many councillors who work very much harder than c does a chairman. We should look back a little to see what some of our councillors have done that they should receive a salary when elected to the chair. Many have wasted more pounds than they have saved, and the good they have done will not compare with the harm. I can- not see why the chairman should be pruid amy more than a councillor should, and I would suggest that instead of getting replies in the Press, public meetings should be held in each ward, and a vote takon for and against. You will then have the voice of the people, and not only of a few who are able to write letters for the Press. I should like to ask, Ts (there amy District Council paying their chairman?— Yours, etc., A RATEPAYER.

WELSHMEN IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA. To the Editor of the Baa-ry Dock News." Sir,—As I hiavei been frequently] lajsked by Welshmen about thia prospect offered to settlers in Western Australia, it may be of interest to your readers to hear of the doings of a fellow- countryman or two of theirs, whom I happened to mleeit in tlhjs course of a recant visit 1 paid to that country. One of these- was a Mr. Timothy Evans, who emigrated with his wife about two years ago under the 'Government assisted paisisiage. arrange- ment. Mr. Elvans hiad, been farming between Lampeter and Aberystwyth, whjere he rented" sixty acres of land ajt £1 Pier acre. He appears to have farmjed so welil that when ttihte time came for renewing his lease, 'the landlord, pro- posed to raise his rent. This the' tenant would not agree to, as he considered tihiat the improved condition of hiis holding was due to 'his own labour. He therefore left, and after inquiring at the London Agelncy of the Weste-rn Austra- lian Government, 15, Victoria-street, S.W., eimigrated to 'that State. I found that he had acquired 3(5& or 400 aeries of land from the M'kliiaiftd Railway of Westetfti Australia, the only private railway compaaIy of any m.ajgnitude, in Australia. The average price he was required to pay for this land was £ 2 lis. HeT acre), payiablei in 14 yeaffs, or at the rate of about 3s. 6d. per^ acre ppr annum. He told me that hie was very pleiased with his loeatiiom, and Tihiat, at his suggestion, his brothier-in-]jaw bad taken; a contiguous area, so that they wewp able to liiejlp one another. He had built a. com- for table homestead, had cleared; a good portion of hils land, from which he had already ob- Itaineid1 a good icrop of wheaft, and his wife, wno was a good diarywomiam, had secured the first prize in a local agricultural show for her but- teir. His farm is siituruted about five, miles from Moora, on the main line from Pjarth to Gerald- torn and ;atbout 100 miles north of Perth. The advantages offered by proximity to the railway and to a flounishing agricultufpa.1 town like Moora, as welfl as the excellent natturja of the soil on itihis particular charge for the, land higher thrun the usual price asked by this Company. But Mr. Evans is satisfied that itn a fetw yjears he will be, a<bfe: to accumu- late. his payments, so. as to seourei the freehtold of the wihtoille farm. I met another Welshman, a Mar. Chatham, of Denbighshire, who fBrnigrated a. few yeaira ago. At first he^ took a milk walk in Pe)rth, which proved successful and which 'IWJ soid at a profit. JBJa its now ^atitled, with his famtiljy, in the neighbourhood of Brusselton, where. I found him roughing it, in a temporary woodien house, and working hard. Hei has an excellent location, which he bought from a previous hal'dietr, and is giving speoiad attention to Ihet rearing <of pigs and poultry. I meta mumlber of oftiheir Welshman both; in the agricultural and mining districts of Western Australia, all of whom spoke weJl^of the conn- try ,a1.1d its prospects. They fully recognisled the Dteoesaifty of hard and patient work, but there was the clrualnce, of making progress which, in so matny oases, seems denied to melll in, tfuIe Old Gonnttry. Although I did not odnsult Mr. Evans or Mr. Chajtham on the subject, I am quite sure that either of them would be, quite willimg to answer elnquiriles received from any of their feilliow- countrymen as to ,the general conditions of life and the, prospecits of sieittlers in the new coun- try in which they have made their homes. But if early information is desired, such can be ob- tained direct from the Agent-General in Lon- don, a local shipping a)g)ent, or from mysielf.— Youirs faithfully, E. C. SCAMMELL.

AULD ACQUAINTANCE. We used! to rock one ajiother's cradles," said Millais of an old friend--sand there is a world of good fete ling and tender intimacy in the suggestion. One is happy to note that, for the niosC part, it is the pleasant associations that cliing closest, the rocking of the cradles—not the inevitable scrimmages of childhood, when the cradLs- gets upset and bumps and bruises follow. There's amo,the;r way, however, of 'looking at these oM acquaintances. One gets so used to people, so saturated with their personality, that one is seldom able to arrive< a/t a true estimate of their real qualities. And as with persons, so, with things. We grow so accustomed to the- sight of the, articles stored ini our kitchen cupboards, that we flatlter ourselves we know them out and out, but in nine cases out of ten. we axe, mistaken. Take, for example), our knowledge of such homely eatables as suet, flour, and curramts. Set these three materials before a housekeeper, tell her to make a sweet dish out of them, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred she, will think of nothing but a plain boiled currant dximplinig that could be made from such in- gnedi'tants. That is because housewives do not even yet know all the possibilities of curramts. Here are, some recipes, cut from the new edition of a, little Currrunt Cookery Book-and w/e recommend tlhemto those of our readers who are on the look-out for new ideas for eyery-day cookery.

CARDIFF EMPIRE. FRED GINNETT'S DICK TURPIN AND QUEENIE LEIGHTOiN NEXT WEEK. « ^r-, P™d Gi,nneitt's Company will appear in Dwk Tiirpin'' at the Cardiff Empire next week. Mr. Fried, Giinnett's mane has, perhaps, attaanefi the highest place occupied by anv equiine performer.

That is why nhe animal which is employed to Represent t' ie otfebrated black mare must be perfect in her business, and Mr. Freid Ginnett dechules that there never has bleen such a mare for the part as the Bess to be aaein, mext wee/k iat the Empire.

BARRY v. CARDIFF INTERMEDIATE OLD BOYS. A pleasantay contested g, ame, at the Cricket ground, Barry Island, on Saturday last, re- sulted ilIlru win for the visitors by three goals L to two. Barry commenced operations, and from some good play by the' forwards, Clark put through, but, the goai was disallowed, Walteors be,Lng offside. A lot of midfield play ensued, and an ajcciident to Lewis, Barry's right half, rendered that player "hots de combat," the home teapi having to continane the game with only ten men. Thie Old Boys now attacked strongly, and from some pretty forward play Bennett opened; the, scoring for thtem with a good shot. Just before the, interval they again put through, and led! at half-time by two goals. On resuming, Barry at once attached, but it was not for some t:i.m¡e, before Meggitt converted a centre from Clark, which was followed by a goal from Walters, who ran from half way, and evading the deifience scored a very finie goal, thus bringing the scores lavjel. Both teaans now foghit hard to abtaim, the wltnniing goal, each side having a turn a/t attack, but without any result, until about five minutes from the end, afttar a penality bully had been given against Barry without result, the visitors' forwards rushed the ball through and scored the, winning goal. Fow- ler, who played ini goal vieje the Rev. J. O. Roberts, who was indisposed,, saved sevieral good shots. The home backs coped with the speedy visitors' forwards admirably; and thjs halves worked hard throughout. Lewis, who was injured in the first half and never returned, was a great loss. The forwards did not com- bine, so well as. the, visitors, and' appeared to lack dash. Cardiff Intermediate, Old Boys, three goals; Barry, two goals. Barry County School Girls, two goals; Can- ton Municipal Secondary School, two goals.

TARIFF REFORM AND UNEMPLOYMENT. MR. S. THOMPSON AT BARRY DOCK CONSERVATIVF CLUB. Councillor F. T. Mossford presided over a large audience at the Barry Dock Conservative CLuib and Institute on Monday evening last, when Mr. S. Thompson, the working man Con- servative Parliametntary candidate for Den- bigh, dfeliv/ared an inspiring and interesting politticaj address. In tihe course of his remarks, Mr. Thompson, fM dealt strongly with the questions of tariff re- form and unemployment. He bad, he. said, spent fifteen years of his life at work as a col- lier in Glamorganshire, and; could, therefore, claim to have some knowledge of thte require- ments of tlhjs working classes. Tariff reform and unemployment were dovetailed together, and once trades unions (recognised this, there would bte hopes of a better future for the work- ing classes of Great Britain'. Free trade meant sweating in its vilest form, together with un- employment, and how trade unionists oould agree to allow tJJfB fotreigner to unfairly com- pete with home, mamuifa-ctured goods was be- yond his comprehension. For fifteeill years he had, belonged to thp Miners' Federattdon, and could, therefore, surely ellaim to be a trade unionist, and the fact of a man being a trade unionist at oncei proclaimed him a tariff re- former, for trades unionism was protection in evelry sense, of the word. (Applause.) A VO'tt3 of thanks to the speakers, proposed by Mr. John Thomas, seconded by Captain W. Evans, was heartily passed, as well as to Coun- cillor Mossford for presiding, proposed by Mr. A. Lewis and seconded by Mr. T. Holmes. A miusical programme followed., taken part in by Messrs. H. Jones, W. Woodward, J. H. Morris, G. Groskop, and others, Mr. E. Ryan being the accompanist.
