The farmer and a friend went to Miss Pol- lock to see if she could assist then; in discovering the culprit. Site gave an accurate description of the premises from which the grain had been stolen and went on to describe the thief and his outfit, with such particularity that when the men returned home and re- ported the result of their trip the whole community was set by the ears. The defendant in her evidence gave a most interesting insight into an extraordinary mentality. She claimed to have the power of faculty of com- nuulcation with departed spirits. Froin her childhood, site said, she had had this power and for some time she _did not realize that in this respect she was different from other people, but at length she discovered that other people had no knowledge of the spirit world such as she possessed. For years her assistance had been sought by people with problems of and kind .and another, and although site did not make a charge in such cases she ac- cepted a "gratuity'." Mrs. Sinclair, wife of Mr. V. M. Sinclair, barrister, of Brussels, was, a witness for the defence and told of going to Miss Pollock to procpre her assistance in recovering a lost ring—a valuable diamond ring which had been given to her by her mother. Miss Pollock, said the witness, described her (witnessce mother and also the Sin- clair home and gave her- such advice as resulted in her recovering the ring. The case was argued on Monday— Crown Attorney Seager for the prose- cution and Mr. Charlesr Garrow for the defence. Air. Seeger went into the Tiistory of the law dealing with fortune- tellers, from the time when they were looked upon as witches and were put to death, up to the present time, when their practices were still regarded as dangerous to the public welfare, He argued that under the law it is criminal to "pretend" to possess such powers as those claimed by the de- dendent. Mr. Garrow stormed that there line been no evidence to show that his client had on any occasion told any- thing that was not the truth, and no natter how she came by the Informa- tion it could not be criminal to tell the 'truth. His Honor directed a conviction, but deferred sentence, and in the mean- time a "stated case" is to be submitted to a higher court by counsel for the defence. HAYFIELD. Major Mr. Tohnie, M.

A Dangerous Element "Regarding the unrest in the coun- try as a result of the past tire stren- sous years, there is •tn element in our country so radiel that it would be glad to upset any constitutional auth- ority, basing its ideal on what was happening itl, Europe, especially Rus- sia," said A1r, Findlay. Regarding the trouble in Winnipeg, there was no doubt in his mind that there were plans to upset the present system of government, and thought possibly the Government might have let them go so I'ar as they had to give them enough rope to hang themselves. Certain people, he said, had been thinking that, as soon as the war was over they would have a transformed Canada, and these agitators were the ones who wanted to avail themselves of these hopes at once . In hjs own mind manufacturers and entp dyers were in favor, as never before, of bet- tering working conditions for their employees, He favored the appoint- ment by the royal commission of the industrial council, which was a new idea in Canada, but would not say how it would work out until it had a fair trial. Must Have Tariff Regarding tite tariff the speaker said he knew that they could not all agree on this great question. His idea of tariff was that we have to have revenue and the tariff is the best way. to raise the bulk of it. The tariff should be so adjusted to give protection to any industry which is natural to, its coun- try. Manufacturers of agricultural implements that had made money were those who had export trade and the reason of this was that they got more money for their articles than in the home. market. He was willing to abide by the will of the farmers if they thoroughly understood all the facts, 1if thte� West, however, a campaign of tuisst3'tements had been made for years trying to show that agricultural imple- ments were sold abroad cheaper than in Canada, which is absolutely' untrue. There never was a time When imple- ments were not cheaper in Canada than any other country in tite world, except the United States.. In the United States there was no uniform price, the manufacturer sell- ing outright to the jobber, who set their own price, high or lot', while here in Canada the retail trade was handled through agencies, which is less than jobbers' prices in the United States.

Information has just been received that the commission will proceed with the Saugeen development scheme and that in combination with Eugenia, there will then be 10,000 horsepower available. Upon comple- tion of the Saugeen plant at Port E1 - ,gin the commission will be enabled to operate a network of transmission lines serving the counties of Bruce Grey, Dufferiu, Simeoe and Ontario, and •',arts of Huron, Wellington and Peel. Following ;t meeting of representa- tives of nnuneipalities in Huron and Bruce recently, a sirung resolution was sent to the hydro commission demand- ing immediate action to supply the northern districts with power. It is expected that these municipalities will be called on soon to vote on the neces- sary by-laws, The District Affected The municipalities in the district to be served consist of: Kincardine, Rip- ley, Lucknmv, Winghtun, Blyth, Brus- sels, Belgrave , Bluevale, Wroxeter, Gorrie, Fordwich, Teeswater,Mhldmay, Formosa, Walkertnn,Paisiey, Port El- gin,It is preptosedttotd serveff this district by extending the transmission tines of the Eugenia system into the northern part of Huron County and throughout Bltuce County. Estimates have been prepared cover- ing the cost of constructing transmis- sion lilies and substations, and it is expected the commission }vi11 be able to submit these to the municipalities in the very near future, enabling them to submit money and enabling by-laws to the' 'ratepayrs for the purpose of entering into an agreement with the commission for hydro service. As soon as these by-laws have been passed and approved by the ratepay- ers and contracts executed between the municipalities and the commission con- struetion of transmission lines and substations will be undertaken by the commission and the distribution sys- tems in the municipalities rebuilt and service given accordingly, The Saugeen Scheme The surveys for the proposed Sau- geen development have been made, but plans and details are not yet a thplete and consequently there is not, notch information available in connection with this development. 1t is the in- tention of the commission, however, to proceed with the construction of the sante as soon as the necessary for- malities, such as tate passing of by-laws and the execution of agreements, have been completed with the municipali- ties. 'Combined with Eugenia it is pos- -sible to obtain approximately 10,000 horse -power from the Saugeen devel- opment and it is proposed to operate bath these plants in parallel with the taimmission's two power plants on the Severn River, viz, Big Chute and Wasdell's, Falls, Network 01 Lines Upon completion of the Saugeen plant at Port Elgin, the commission will be. embed to operate 0 network of trtsnthslon lines serving the counties of Bruce, Grey. Dulierin.. Situate, Wel IinIG n and Peel. eel. By • sn L 1 reason Il f the fact t ay.l ilii ,t t heEu- genia development possesses an enor- mous storage basin, it will be possible to operate the Saugeen and Big Choate plants in such to manner as to utilize. Ilse full flow of the streams at high water periods. Lind at such times to store seater at Eugenia, and during the pus, +' , dry , s ns of the year to draw on this storage in supply the demands which the other plants ttre unable to take care of by reason of low water conditions, This arrangement will enable the commission to operate its various plants in such a manner as to obtain the maximum efficiency from the flow Of water in the various .streams on which these plants are located and to supply the power requirements in the district served at the lowest possible rates. Itis also possible to utilize off-peak power from the Niagara system to as- sist tits developments serving the Saw - gen, Epgenla, Severn and Wasdell's districts,' and it is proposed at some hnture dale, when required, to install a frequency changer set either at Mount Forest or Wingltnnt, for the purpose of transforming electrical en- ergy from 25 to 60 cycles, of viae versa, so that power can be transmitt- ed either to or from the Niagara sys- tem, when requited.
