This is what the Hydro Electric Commission is offering. Mayor An- deérson, Smith's Falls, told a gather- ing at Belleville how the Hydro op- erated in that section of Eastern On- tario, It had so advanced the rates for current that consumers had to out off electric power and 80 back to * steam power. Industry was being cur- tailed for the want of cheap power. vate owners could undersell the |. 0 and with power at $15 to $20 H. P., advantage was secured by ) fal concerns over those where Hydro controlléd the output. Why lould such a condition prevail? brn Ontario with unlimited sour- 88 of supply has been held back by Hydro controllers. The manufac- have had none of thé advant- that obtain at western points, for this negligence, the leaders municipal circles charge the gov- ent and its power officials. For years or more Eastefn Ontario been starved for the advantage West - Ontario, and even now People calmly appropriate L000 H.

When the east great currents 'flashing by it ho advantages therefrom, it fs natural that a ery of fll-tremt- is raised. t, says the Hydro people, we give you power as needed, True may, but at what figures?

If the Government can remedy this; if jt can by classification and grading give purchasers choices then there is ev- ! ery prospect that Ontario goods will { grow in favor in the world's mars kets.

Go to it, gentlemen! ------------ LET'S GET TOURIST TRADE. -- { "This is miles ahead of Florida," | he enthusiastically declared, as he | viewed the Thousand Islands for the | firet time. "There is nothing like tHis down there," and nowhere else. But there is just as romantic, and more natural scenery in Frontenae, "the land of a thousand lakes." Let the | interests that cater to tourists, our | Councils, Boards of Trade, Tourists Associations, hotel men, ete., all com- | bine to set forth our summer glories. i The six leading resort and tourist | States--California, Florida, Minnes- ota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Color- ado--report a gross volume of §$3,. 500,000,000. Canada in her six months of glorious cool temperatures, in wonderful scenic beauties and | with splendid roads ought to attract two hundred million tourists with a billion of cash for circulation in see- ing things. ---- inst PAYING FULL COSTS, The question of county attendance at the St. Catharines Collegiste has been settled. Five municipalities will pay 100 per cent. of the cost of edu- cation, Quite a few counties have come to terms with- Boards of Bduca- | tion, regarding the education of county pupils. The law provides for eighty" per cent of the cost of main tenance and capita) expenditures, but some Boards cannot agree that that amount is énough. To teach county pupils imposes twenty per cent on the municipality wherein the Insti- tute is, and that is hardly fair. So by mutual arrangements counties agree to pay the full costs of the education imparted. This is the reasonable way. -------- HANDS ARE TURNED BACK N---- In speaking of the dissolution pro- ceedings at Ottawa the Collingwood Bulletin remarks that not for a hun- dred years has such a course been pursued and the danger ahead m- cludes a return to a status of a crown colony where governments are made and unmade at the will of the gover. nor. Howe in Nova Seotia fought against such conditions with the re. sul that two governors were recall- od. Sir John Macdonald with his con. temporaries, Cartier, Dorion, Tup- bet, Brown, Blake, Mowat, Tilley many of a later period Laurier and Whitney looked forward to the day when Canada would be "a daughter in her mother's house and mistress in her own." Steadily has the Domin- lon been moving toward that ideal, but it appears the hands of the clock are in danger of being turned back. -------- A GOOD DIRT ROAD. Several hundred farmers, . at a United States rural gathering, turned out to see a professor'from a state university showing how. to make a good dirt road. The scholarly gentle- man climbed onto a tractor pulling a leaning-wheel scraper, and tolled and sweated and wilted his collar and breathed dust for hours, while he graded and shaped a third of a mile of primitive highway to his satistac- tion. "That dern city professor has tuined our oa insisted one of the irmers. Bat st of them thought lie had done a good Job, He made the roadway twenty feet wide, round- ed and smoothed all aver, but shaped in a curve as nearly flat as possible 8 that the surface water would run oft without washing the dirt away. There were some prety goed dirt Toads in the old days, It's partly in the soil, but mostly in the shapin, Proper care would make most of dirt roads good for ) without much expenses. are going to be there." ordinary, WQRD STUDY: § To-day's rd: REVER and affection, \ THE DAILY BRITIS Ee "DAILY LESSONS IN ENGLISH ro * BY W.
