It appears that the lease which was given to Mr. Davis by that Railway Department. and on which his excewive claim `_ for paymentrfor light was `based. was not in accord with the order-in-council authorizing a. lease, Mr. Lennox `staggered the Minister of Justice in the` delbatci last week `by fortifying his emphat- io statement from the considered opinions of Mr. Nowoombe. the De- puty Minister of Justice, oommu_ni- cated to the` Treasury Board the" they gave their own judgment in ithe Davis case asifollows:' - uWhat influence in the. cabinet was it that in April. 1902.'conceaded the right olt `Mr, Davis to `be paid for 216 electric lights _a1lege'd t-o be in use during the Ipreivipusl :winte'r .1 when in Fehru-ary. six weeks before. the c|ffi~ce17sA~of the department. had reported that Mr. Davis had no au- thority to have the lights `going. and when Mi`.

One would think Erom e the. frequency with which -these words occur` that swimming was a -difficult and almost o_ccult art.-so hard `to learn as not to be worth while "even though `one'. s life might depend on it. It is generally easily aoquired in. -`boyhood. A couple ,of ; lesson-sis often enough to give con- ifidrenc-e in onietself in the `wet- er. and the rest comes easily with a little `practice. There is no. pos- sible reason why every` boy who lives within reach of open water . should not learn to swim. Some mothers take what seems to them a safer course of keeping their sons on land. on the principle that, out of water they cannot get drowne'd. -It might "be argued with equal `force that, aslonger as they stay in the water they are `safe from `being, run over by a railway train. Quite a- side irc-m the facts that it is most often the boy who has gone out to `bathe without his parents know- ledge who gets drowned, and that any_ landsman is liable to fall in- to the water from a wharf or an icxcursion steamer. the man who is hot acquainted with the water is not completely developed. The court- lage, self-reliance and resourceful- ness of the English people. which have spread the British power to. the -ends of the earth. were largely dteveloped on the water. The con- rather remote. rd'ange'r, and the skill required to avoid it; the excite- ment olf a close race and the` pa- tience ne(e`ded in bi long beat to wind- w.ard against a gale; the intimate acquaintance with the 'fo-reels of `na- ',ture in blinding sun or ipitch-dark night. `make `sailing thegreatest. as well as one of the oldest sports, and one for which every descendant of -No~a`h_ has an inherited liking. But its greatest delights are for (the man who can on occasion risk an upset. kn-o-wing that it means no- _ thing worse than a duckin'g. There are some who. though unable to swim, sail small Ibcats in rough we-a- ther, and many who take row boats out on the bay with only the wig`- uest idea. of how. to `handle them. Death takes his tell. `but in many . eases lives could -`be saved at a trifling expense if the municipality took the trouble to erect a e.w `shelters where the boys could` change their clothes `for. bathing suits. as via dlonein many of the cities and towns in Canada. At.present,. a com- menda.'ble_l'effort is being m-ade `in Barrie to"st'a.mp out the habit-_ of bathing in the nude inside the cor- poration limits. :While this is very well as `far as it goes. it does not go far enough. There are plenty of `boys and men ' who have not time dle `oil the hehlth-giving" ple`asure.N ' the handoif. death snatches one orj two.- without` warning.,.and almost 1 invariably -the report of. the drown-A ing contains the comment. "He could stant presence of a possible, though . **to -go outside the limits for a bathei . and not having access to a hoathouseg - i in which to change their `clothing, are thus deprived of `a valued pri- a couple of little shelters along the the shore could surely be arranged. ` by the Oouneil.d'a.ndi the boys thus be Dlmblied with facilities "for, learn- ,, igig 1:o"swim._.
