He obtained from the Council the franchise, and constructed the first waterworks for supplying Orillia, from what was then known as the Coldwater-road, at Victoria-Park, which he sold to the late William Todd and Robert Pace, who in turn. sold it to, -the Town.

This gen eman says it is utterly false,` and th t col- lections-are harder toget. th year than in previous years, and hat it certainly has not helped hi busi- ness. As .for the sale of 1' uor in- Galt,,' it is quite evident tha there is just as much liquor cons med in Galt and $5 per cent. more i homes, where it was never known to have _been.k.ept in the house befo e. Local option has increased bottle drinking to a great extent. Young en who were never known to be i toxicated are frequently drunk. Lo at our police court records.

Mr. Reader, it is really, too bad that the good town of Galt should be ruined by a by-law that permits the delivery of a hundred cases of liquor a day to a. dry municipality, and two miles away you can get all the liquor you want without fear `or 'favor. I have known of one dozen travellers at one hotel in Preston - who formerly stopped at Galt. Tell me of one temperance man who ever came to Galt to stop because it was a dry town. Oh, no, not one. The licensed place for mine `when away, from home. Travellers will tell vou that since local option in Galt their ` business has dropped 03 terribly, and in fact some of them skip the town. The hotels cannot give them the same accommodation and tell us they are losing money and in all pro- bability will have to close their doors to all comers. Why, do not some of these " temperance people come to ` their rescue, as they readily admit that the hotel people are living up to the law and deserve a great deal of credit in_ the effort they are making to observe a very unjust law? Local option in Galt upto date is a farce a_nd_aAdecided failure and I"tru`st_ that hundred dollars in the month of" November, while cour--neighboring owns :hav`e'.increas'ed their revenue. -Why this .decrease, if local option is a good thing for Galt? - There were only 123 permits for building all told in Galt `this year,i- including extensions and .outhouses, while .Preston, only one-third the size of` _Galt, has erected in the neighbors hood of 100 new buildings this year. We grant you ourfactories are on` full time, but how about the labor situation. We cannot keep help, as a. number of men left here for Hamilton and elsewhere. One of our business men went to the city and engaged some help, but when _th_ey learned Galt waslocal option they would not come to our town, consequently the -boss returned home alone, and scores of similar cases. Why did one of our large factories take their "annual banquet to Preston this year? Because they could not get the desired accommodation here,` and yet they will "tell you local oo- tion has not hurt our -town. Thou- sands of dollars 'a're.spent_ out of our town that would .otherwise have been spent at home. They did not tell you that the Galtimarket had dropped off this summer, while Preston and surrounding towns in- creased. I could tell you scores of farmers who,,do not come to Galt. to market now. The writer of the local option article must be very near-sighted or he would certainly see the young men coming o the street cars with their pockets full of bottles. We are sorry to see it, but as Mrs. Stevenson, president of the Women's Christian_ Temperance Union and Governor Cobb, of Maine, when asked their opinion on local option, said: W.`e have enforced local option as no Governor everienforced 1 (4 _ P-._4. , , , . . _-! -r_-v-- __, -..- it before,- and after forty 3;ears ex- perience in our State, give us back the license system.

When a woollen or silk skirt has become frayed around the bottom, jcut along the edge of the skirt by imserting the point of the scissors. Then turn in the raw edges toward each other and baste the two sides of the skirt. The stitching will never be noticed and the hem will have the same appearance as before. This is a quick and effective way of repairing a worn skirt. If you ob- ject to losing even this quarter of an inch in length you can remedy the defect by sewing on a piece of skirt braid, which will add much to the wearing capacity of your skirt. An ingenious reman at Everett, Mass., has constructed an electric re whistle. ' Heretofore this town had used the steam whistles of dif- ferent factories, but when these whistles failed them, it was found necessary to seek a substitute. The electric whistle whicli""has been adopted consists of a series of diaph- ragms, eight in number, each vibrat- ed by sixteen small electromagnets. The diaphragms with their coils are mounted one above the other, and all are incased in. a cylinder, open at the top, from which the sound issues in great volume.
