Packet) Mr. John Baird, engineer at the steam electric power house at Mea- (ford recently had an experience which might have cost him his life. The increased water flow in Big Head River of late has enabled the Utilities Commission to operate the -electric power plant entirely by water. As the steam plant was not in use Mr. Baird thought it an op- portune time for cleaning out the boiler. In order to get at the tubes it was necessary for him to crawl about hall:' way into the ponderous piece of metal. This he did, not dreamillg of the consequences that were to follow. .-\.`l'ter cleaning out the tubes he `tried to back out of the aperture, `but was unznble to do so. owing probably to his body having swollen with heat and perspiration. As he was alone in the power house there was no one near to render first aid. Held, as it were, in the grip of an enemy, there was nothing for him to do but hum-bly submit to his ternporaary iulprisonnlent until assistance arrived.

This section of the list is composed of thoselwho have votes for the Legislative Assembly only, and not for tihe niunicvipztl council. Obvious- ly, the cost of its preparalion should fall upon the provincial government; but under the law the Iiiunicipalities will liztvc to bear the expense. In Orillia.'s case this means printing 3. list mnprising about two thousand names, or just about as large as the main 1nunioi.pa,l lists, which also will be used in the election. Doubt- less to have the municipal ofllcinls prepare and issue the list is the cheapest way of ;:(.-Lting it, but sure ly the province should meet any ex- pense connectcd with elections for the Legislature.
