The latter list, however, will not be ready for some time. The decision to cut rates was reach- ed after careful consideration had been given by experts of the department and the members of the commission itself to the surpluses credited to the various local cotmissiols upon the business of the last year. ,Reduction is $75,000. , The surpluses of these various local bodies showed that the commission can reduce approximately $75,000 from its charges for power for the present year. Even after doing so it will still col- lect sufficient to meet the cost of power and make all allowances for in- terest on invested capital, operation, sinking fund, etc. Sir Adam stated that the reductions will vary from 50 cents per horsepower to 7.74. The village of Lucan is to get the greatest reduction. The most of the municipalities will benefit by a reduc- tion of from $1 to $2 per horsepower.

HENSALL SPRING SHOW A SUCCESS KEEN COMPETITION IN MANY OF • THE CLASSES -WEATHER U'NFAV- •ORABLE—DISTRICT TURNS OUT WELL TO RECORD SHOWING OF STOCK. Hensall, April 8.—In spite of un- favorable weather and roads, the an- nual spring fair of the South Huron Agriculture Society was held here to- day and witnessed and appreciated by an excellent crowd. The show of harness and halter horses, stallions and bulls and cows was most creditable. The district lends itself well to a show of this kind, as many of the fanners in the neighboring townships are noted for their strings of pure- bred stock. The wide street near the G. T. R. yards was the scene of the exhibition, and proved to be a most admirable site, allowing the villagers to take ad- vantage conveniently of the show, and providing plenty of room for the throngs of visitors.from the country. COMPETITION KEEN In many of the classes exhibitors were numerous and competition was keen. The Hensel! brass band was present and enlivened the afternon with a number of selections. The principal prize winners in the Cattle classes were: Aberdeen Angus aged bull—H, C. Soldan who also took sweepstakes in 'Aberdeen Angus exhibit. , Shorthorn exhibit—R, M.

Jacob Webber Fined $200 and Casts; Says Presence 'of Liquor Had Caused Much Worry, Seaforth, April 8, -When Inspectors Torrance 'and Elliott called at Jacob Webber's home, in this town, a few days ago to see how his supply of Liquor was holding out, they weretold by Webber that a stranger had come along on a recent night and bought his entire stock, consisting of 11 '4 barrels of whiskey. On being asked who the stranger was Webber could not tell them, or would he say how much he got for the liquor and, of course, did not know its destination. in court here today, Crown Attorney seager reminded Magistrate Grigg that when this case was in court over two years ago, at the time the liquor was seized, Webber had sworn that he got the liquor for the use of himself and his wife, and thought that the 12 bar- rels would perhaps not be enough for them, as it only meant a half a pint a day for 14 years. It was a most daring case of law violation, as Webber knew that he could not legally dispose of the liquor, he having been warned at the time he took delivery of it after ;its being held in custody for two years, and being re- turned to 111111 as a result of an order - in -Council recommended by the Min- ister of Justice. Webber pleaded guilty to the charge of selling in violation of the Dominion regulations, .and to the magistrate he said it was either a case of selling the whiskey of sending his wife to the asylum, as it had been a great worry to thein on account of the people went- ing to purchase it, also the danger of it•being stolen. The magistrate imposed a• tine of t 5200 and costs.
