The Seot who reached here a stranger found friends and aid throush the good services of ]the society. The regular mesetings of the society were for a long tims very happy events and largely attended. Gradually, however, there grew a tonâ€" dency to forget tue aiirs and purposes of the society and make it a more or less dance club.

The town nurses In The Advance twenty yvears ago there was a lengthy article .dealing with the power situation in the camp. The Advance poifited cut that the cutâ€" side newspapers were all wrong in stating that men were being laid Ooff at the mines because of a power shortâ€" age. Instead of men being laid off, the staffs were actually being increasâ€" ed. ‘"Indeed, up to date,". said The Advance, "there has been no power shortage, but only the possibility of one.‘" The Advance then gave the power company‘s attitude." On account ef the small rainfall during the sumâ€" mer the reserves of water were not as largze as desired, but with small reâ€" duction in the amount of power being used, the power company officials were sure there would be encugh power for all to carry on until the spring season would again bring relief. Some of the mines were ready to accept reductions, the mines being the chief users of powâ€" er, and the power consumed by all others being too small to be specially considered. The Hollinger was ready to cpr>rate the compressor plant by steam. The Dome and McIntyre and most of the smaller raines were willing to accept a straight reduction. . The Hollinger, however, pointed out that this plan would not be fair to this part of the camp. The other bisg users of power had been running much closer to capacity so far as supply was conâ€" cerned than was the Hollinzer due to the shortage of labour the Hollinger had been running 50 per cent, of its capacity for some time, and a further reduction seemed very â€" undesirable., The Hollinger was ready to use auxiliâ€" ary power like the steam plants planâ€" ned to be installed, but the manageâ€" ment of the mine also felt it a duty to the property and the public alike to keep the mine running. and to retain the present efficient staffs. The Adâ€" vance, after presenting both sides of the case fairly, ventured the opinion that the difficulty would be adjusted without injury to any of those zonâ€" cerned.
