It creates a Hydeo-Electric Commis- sion, consisting of three persons, one of whom is to be a member of the Cab- inet. This commission is the centre of the Government's solution of the pow- er problem. On application it will furnish plans, specifications and estimates to muni- eip ti corporations,: but neither the pro- vince nor the commission will he liable to any corporation for mistakes. - Tbe Government, through the cum - mission, nnderttakes to build trensnlis- sion lines, for which the municipalities pay: (a) ..

Mr. Dunn, manager of the Strathroy Canning Company was here on Tues- day, having been sent by the Presi- dent of the Canning Association to try and dissuade the people of Exeter from establishing a factory here. That evening he met a number of the citizens in Messrs. Dickson & Carling's office. During the meeting he admit- ted that this was a good place for a canniog factory for certain lines of goods, hut recommended that we hold off for a season and that in all proba- bility the association would assist in establishing, one here next year. How- ever the provisional directors of a company have been elected and the visit of Mr. Dunn has encouraged rather than discouraged them. The directors are Messrs. Jos. Snell. man- ager of the Sovereign Bank, L. H. Dickson, F. W. Gletdman, Thos. Har- vey, and H. E. Huston. They have power to add to their number. It is proposed to promote the company at once.

Some $7,000 has already been snbscribed and the directors are ready to take the names of others who will take shares. The first meeting of the directors will be held this week.
