In a few years, comparatively, every rail- way in Canada will be nationalized and electrified. The telephone, tele- graph, etc., too will he under the people's control. We're just at the beginning of things as far , ash}vdro development is concerned," said May= or Jackson on bis return, from Lon- don last week after attending the celebration 01' the opening • of the Port Stanley Electric Railway. "Before long this country will be a complete net -work of electric radials and travelling will become a Pleasure. Smoot -running cars, no dust, smoke or discomfort and one can look out of the window for a last glimpse of a fleeting landscape without danger of getting a cinder in the eye." "I am a Liberal of the deed -in -the - wool variety," continued Mr, Jack- son, "but J have no syinpathy what- ever with the policy, of the man or newspaper which opposes hydro for partyi reasons. There is no polities about hydro. It is the peoples' pow- er and the duty of developing it to the best al ability will devolve upon any Government which happens to be in power., Of course there are people who will knock anything, no matter how much benefit they derive from it, and they will continue to knock the men who work for the public good ; it's a way people have. • There are people in this- town who have never ceased to knock hydro though it is saving them money every day." "Will hydro continue to develope ? I don't see how it can help it. It ie the coming power for this province, probably for the whole Dominion.. No one after riding over that newly, equipped road, noting the even smoothness of the ,notion, the 'ab- sence of any jay in starting, the even strength of chat little engine as it pulled those cars along without an effort; but must become convinced that hydro is the great power of the present and the greater power, of the future. We are just beginning to realize what_ can be done,. were some of Reeve Ford'e impressions gathered from what. he heard and saw while in Loudon, ''That man, Beck, is a wonder," remarked Superintendent Chant of the local hydro system, • "What I. Bice about hint is that he knows what he's talking about. He doesn'twaste your time or his own shooting off a lot of hot air. Ile knows his busin- ess from A to and can talk not only entertainingly but instructively, about it. Hydro`' 011,, there is just one thing to say about hydro, , Its use is but inits infancy; Wo have begun to sec to what uses it can be put. It the future it will be the great propelling power of the coun- try. There's not a doubt of. it." Our representative citizens all thoroughly enjoyed their li.tt'-e vita to London and all learned something of the use of the power which is revolutionizing the country. They en- joyed e ride to Port Stanley and back on the new radial and were guests; se the banquet in the evening where about eight hundred Iepresen- tatiyes of different yfilinicipalities were entertai'aed. During the evening Lady Beck was presented with an oe ctric car, in recognition of her interest to her husbands work, while Sir Adam) va Beck ,. prc�•rented with two ilhuninated addresses, one from London and the other from 1'oronta, and a beautiful gold plate.

In a few years, comparatively, every rail- way in Canada will be nationalized and electrified. The telephone, tele- graph, etc., too will he under the people's control. We're just at the beginning of things as far , ash}vdro development is concerned," said May= or Jackson on bis return, from Lon- don last week after attending the celebration 01' the opening • of the Port Stanley Electric Railway. "Before long this country will be a complete net -work of electric radials and travelling will become a Pleasure. Smoot -running cars, no dust, smoke or discomfort and one can look out of the window for a last glimpse of a fleeting landscape without danger of getting a cinder in the eye." "I am a Liberal of the deed -in -the - wool variety," continued Mr, Jack- son, "but J have no syinpathy what- ever with the policy, of the man or newspaper which opposes hydro for partyi reasons. There is no polities about hydro. It is the peoples' pow- er and the duty of developing it to the best al ability will devolve upon any Government which happens to be in power., Of course there are people who will knock anything, no matter how much benefit they derive from it, and they will continue to knock the men who work for the public good ; it's a way people have. • There are people in this- town who have never ceased to knock hydro though it is saving them money every day." "Will hydro continue to develope ? I don't see how it can help it. It ie the coming power for this province, probably for the whole Dominion.. No one after riding over that newly, equipped road, noting the even smoothness of the ,notion, the 'ab- sence of any jay in starting, the even strength of chat little engine as it pulled those cars along without an effort; but must become convinced that hydro is the great power of the present and the greater power, of the future. We are just beginning to realize what_ can be done,. were some of Reeve Ford'e impressions gathered from what. he heard and saw while in Loudon, ''That man, Beck, is a wonder," remarked Superintendent Chant of the local hydro system, • "What I. Bice about hint is that he knows what he's talking about. He doesn'twaste your time or his own shooting off a lot of hot air. Ile knows his busin- ess from A to and can talk not only entertainingly but instructively, about it. Hydro`' 011,, there is just one thing to say about hydro, , Its use is but inits infancy; Wo have begun to sec to what uses it can be put. It the future it will be the great propelling power of the coun- try. There's not a doubt of. it." Our representative citizens all thoroughly enjoyed their li.tt'-e vita to London and all learned something of the use of the power which is revolutionizing the country. They en- joyed e ride to Port Stanley and back on the new radial and were guests; se the banquet in the evening where about eight hundred Iepresen- tatiyes of different yfilinicipalities were entertai'aed.
