Goderich, April 20. -Coll Kodgin, of London, commanding No. 1 'div- ision, was notifiel officially that arrangements cannot be made to secure ground for the millitary camp site. A motion to this effect, although it met much opposition, passed at last night's council meeting and the hope of having the camp of No. 1 division located at this paint is abandoned. Costly Experiments. Not so long ago all the members of _the c uncil were working together to get the camp permanently settled here. Two years of experiment with the camp on the Attrill estate cost them dearily and when they wished to get a price of rental from the trust com- pany in charge of the property the figure was so large it balked all good intentions. For two weeke' use of the land, $1,000 was declared a "holdup" by ,members of the council. The figure at which the trusts corporation offered _the estate last night was $925, but even this was too much. This One Too Small. As an alternative the idea was con. sidered of offering a small site, the Hamlinkfarm, which contains ,150 acres and could be obtained at a rental of300 $ It was thought this property might be so unsatisfactory as to spoil chances for the permanent site being established here, so it was not ser- iously considered One of the members advocated a publiceubscription to raistethe rent of the property, but this was declared impracticable. After long discussion the motion to abandou the project passed. Clinton Secures ♦ Another industry,.

Government Will Aid In Develop- ment Wank—Towns May Get. Power at $25 a Horsepower, As we reported last week, the meet.- ing of the hydro -electric commission- ers and representatives of Huron Co., was held in Clinton last Thursday afternoon, There was a representative gather- ing among those being present were: - Mayor and Council of Clinton ; Gode- rich-Mayor A. C. Reid, B. 0. Mun- Mugs, W. F. Clark, W. R. Hoimes and Wm. Lane ; Wingham:-Mayor Spotton, C. G. Vanstone ; Bayfield: -- Dr, Smith,H. W. Erwin, J. Thompson, John Whiddon ; Blyth -A. B. Oarr ; Bensall-W. J. Doherty, G. Bush G. Petty ; Stanley -Reeve Glenn Col- borne -Reeve Kernighan. Many other citizens of Clinton were present. e Engineer'Acers gave the result of a systeatic investiation from month- ly readings taken at the Black Hole during the last twelve months, and theresults proved pr ved to be surprising to both Commissioners arid people. p ogle. They estimate that at certain seasons of the year over 5,000 horsepower can be de- veloped, and also place the minimum at about 1,000 horsepower, so that in conjunction with Niagara power ' a1• ready at Seaforth, and within about fifteen'miles of the new plant, it would be a very desirable source of supply for the power users of this district. The commission found that the flow of water was much greater than they expected and their original estimate. of $275,Od0 for construction and equip- ment would have to be increased to about 5586,000, one half of which would be for dam construction, As the users of power increased there would be no reason why Huron coun- ty could not have as cheap power as any place in Ontario. If the municipalities wish to go ahead the Government will advance the money at four per cent., repayable_ in thirty years. The proposition is to construct the Niagara line from Seaforth to Goderich at once, and use the power in the construction of the new works.. A schedule of prices was presented, but these are subject to revision when the amount of power wanted by the municipalities is known, The promise of a $25 rate. given by Hon. Adam ' Beck to nearby towns is within possibility when the Maitland is' harnessed' and reasonably. patronized. MORE HYDRO ELECTRIC PROMISES. [Stratford, Beacon., The representatives of the Hydro- Electric Commission met with repre- sentatives from Huron .County at Clinton on Thursday, and Engineer Ace ereported• that 5,000 horsepower coup be developed at certain seasons. of th year with minimum of 1,000, on the Maitland. River, about fitteen miles from Seaforth, at which point it is proposed to erect a plant to supplement the Hydro -Electric to be extended. from Seaforth to Goderich if the municipalities ant ' cost of this plant will bet $586,000 about twice the original estimate. A schedule of prices, was submitted which are subject to revision but the representatives of the Hydro -Electric Commission, assured the representa- tives of the municipalities that as the use of power increased there was no reason that Huron County should not have as cheap power as any place in Ontario, The prornsse of a rate of $25 a horsepower given by Hon, Adam Beck is said to be within pos- sibility when the Maitland is har- nessed, rhe people of Huron should not place too much confidence in Mr. Heck's promises. The charge made in Stratford ` by the Hydro -Electric Commission to the Light and Heat Commission is $32, and this does not include everything, while the esti- mated cost was only $29.50. In St. Marys more is • being charged than the original estimate, and it would probably be a • wise thing for Huron municipalities to get an independent report on Maitland power before em- barking in so serious an undertaking with hopes of 425 per horsepower.

Major Peuchen alone 'Of the ten Canadian men on the Ti- tanic has retained to tellof the Iast fours of his friends who perished with the ship.

Hays, general manager of the Grand Trunk Eailway."GOODBYE, PEUCHEN I FEEL THAT THIS SHIP WILL LAST ANOTHER EIGHT HOURS, AND BY THAT TIMJO WE SHALL HAVE AS- :SISTANCE," were the last known 'words of the great railway magnate. One of the most cherished objects, 'which Major Peuchen bore with him from the wreck, is a small piece of ;coarse paper, on which is scrawled iths Major's sea commission. This paper stood between death and rte vic- tim, and to it Major Peuchen owes his ,life.
