HENSALL TRAP SHOOT
ess. r1-1)
That term applies to the stringing of
wires; placing of trolley poles, etc.,
which costs about $50,000 per mile,
and which the storage car makes un-
necessary. But the self-propelled car
costs $46,000, including the $10,000
duty paid by the people's own line to
the Dominion government, and when
traffic has increased to a certain point
the number of costly storage cars be-
comes so great that it would he cheaper
to 'electrify' the line. The purpose of
the storage car Is to build up traffic to
that point. The storage car proposi-
tion, therefore, is not a substitute for
the hydro radial scheme which will
take care of very heavy traffic.
From' observations made by officials
of ,the 'Canadlan Natio* !Railways,
who took in Monday's trip, it appears
likely that the dominion -owned rail-
ways will put clown two additional
tracks between Niagara and Toronto
and electrify all the traffic originating
at points between.
The hope of wiping out deficits on
the numerous non-paying branch lines
in Ontario and othr parts of Canada
lies in the fact that the trolleyless car
costs but 35 cents per mile per car
line, whilst the average for a locomotive
and car is $1 per mile, The figures in
each case include depreciation, interest
and brotherhood wages. The storage
car also lends itself to the operation of
a local service at many points on the
main lines.
On Monday's trial trip, the trolley -
less car left the Don station of the 0.
N. R. at 11 o'clock and readied Tren-
ton, 110 miles away, in three hours and
twenty minutes. At times the speed
exceeded 40 miles an hour. The run
from Trenton to Belleville took 25
inimites and the return to Trenton
five minutes longer. The car will run
140 miles without charging. It takes
five or six hiurs to fully charge the car.
No stops for charging took place on
the run to Trenton, but a little more
"juice" was taken on at that point.
A Strange Animal.
In the two towns visited and through
the countryside much interest was
shown in the strange "animal" dmrg-
ing down the steam line, At Trenton,
Mayor Curtiss Was on hand to welcome
the visitors, and at Belleville, Mayor
Hanna did the honors, The visitors
were headed by W. H. R. Devenish, the
• C, N. R. general 'superintendent at
Toronto, W. J. Whitesides, the C. N.
R. publicity agent, looked after the
cc/Wort ef. the trippers, particularly of
the newspapermen, and E. 131 Walker,
the chief electrical engineer, explai.yed
technical points.
About eight years ago a Minim' test
i Was made with a gas -electric car, whiCh
WAS used for sone inonths on a 60
mile run to Picton. But the high
•operating Cost which was about twice
the cost of the storage battery car, and
the necessity of having skilled mech-
anics, prevented its general adoPtion.
It is, estimated that on short brandy
lines the use of the trolleyless car
would save from $5,000 a year up as
against the eat of a locomotive and
car,

The Juniors Won.
Wednesday night the Clinton Juniors
baseball team Won from Seaforth by a
score of 8-4 and the play was good on
botill sides, thought Seaforth were in-
clined to make some very costly errors.
Both teams were a little "off'the
first innings but settled down after
that and good baal was played. Owing
to Norris the 'Clinton left hander, not
getting here on time Fred McTaggart
pitched the first innings and allowing
a walk followed by an error and a 2
basehit, enabled the Seaforth boys to
score 2 eons. He struck out one. In
Clinton first innings Seaforth had 5
errors and Anderson taking a 2 base
hit the home team evened up the score.
Smith the Seaforth pitcher had 5 strike
outs and Norris in 8 innings had 7.

An Unjust Law—lf It Is Law
I The law 'provides that the board of
a high school or collegiate institute
which Is attended vy a pupil from an
'adjacent" county may bill the council
of the county in which such student
has his home for • a proportionate
amount of the cost of maintaining the
school. For instance, some students
from Howick and Grey Townships
might, attend the Listowel school, or
sotne from Bruce county might attend
at Wingham. County Clerk Holman
has 'complied figures showing that in
the last five years the Huron county
council has paid over $4,000, or an
average of over $800 a year,. for stu-
dents attending schools in other coun-
• ties, and this year bilis have been
presented from the collegiate institutes
of Woodstock and Owen Sound, as
well as from several schools ,cnearer
' this county, Mr. Holman believes this
is AA undue straining of the word
"adjacent," and is communicating with
the Department of Education to secure
1 an interpretation of the law, With
some of the best schools in the Prov-
ince situated in this county, it seems
Iquite unnecessary that any student
should pass them all by to • attend one
fifty to one hundred miles distant,—.
