HYDRO PLANS POWER. I.
SCHEME FOR OTTAWA
Developraent 0£.250,000 H. P.
at Cost of Twenty -fie
Millions. ,
A despatch from Toronto says:—
Authorization has been given to the
Provincial Hydro Commission 'by the
Ontario Government to proceed with
the develdpment of five additional
power sites on the Ottawa River,
...whose total potential horsepower ap-
proximates 250,000, at an ultimate ex-
penditure of more than $25,000,000.
The sites at which -tire Ontario.Gov-
ernment has sanctioned preliminary
work are as follows: Rocher rendes
Rapids, situated gn the. south side of
Cabinet Island; Chenaux Rapids,`'sit-
uated about 52 miles west of the City
of Ottawa; Chats Falls, 32' miles west
of Ottawa; Deschenes Rapids, at Ot-'
tawa, embracing the head from the
Chaudiere balls, now developed at the
foot of Chats Falls; and Carillon
Rapids, including the fall in the river
at Point Foi tune and at, Hawkesbury.
The important step has been taken
primarily in responso to Eastern On-
tario's repeated demands for power
service comparable to that given to
Western Ontario, and in recognition
of urgent needs of'some manicipal-
sties, including the City of Ottawa, for
additional power suppliers.
"There is no thought of proceeding
right away or oven in the near future
with all the developments that have
been authorized,” stated Mr. Cooke.
"But Ottawa wants 20,000 additional
horsepower and the Desehenes devel-
opment which, I believe, is the nearest,
may be the first to be developed."
Asked if the xsext five years would
see the clevlopment'of the five addi-
tional sites for which authorization
has been given, Mr. Cooke replied in
the negative.
'In explanation of how the sanction-
ing -of the development of Carillon
T'alls. would- affect the matter of
power development there indispute
between the Provincial and Fed=
oral authorities, Mr. Cooke said
that the Provincial Order -in -Council
• simply gave to the Hydro Commission
whatever rights Ontario possessed at
Garilton.

General..._
A despatch from Canton says: --In-

adding to the tension already felt by
foreign residents in their. concession,
Shameen.
One Chinese General was reported

catiotls which have made the low-
lying sand islet, separated from Can-
ton proper by a narrow strip of water,
a military camp.

pwner among the provinces with -308,-

provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta combined accounted for
166,234 automobiles.. More than 60
per cent. of the cars in that area are
ownetein the 'rural districts.
The General was said to have been
ready to lose one thousand soldiers in
three minutes under his plan to cap-
ture Shameen. He was quoted as
taking into consideration the aid the
Shameen defenders would receive from
foreign gunboats in ports.
Up to the present an intermittent
steamer service between Shameen and
Hong Kong has been maintained, de-
spite the strike of Chinese workers.
Strike leaders announced however,
-that-aft¢r July 15 they would stop all
river steamers arriving.
The date was set for the fifteenth
because by that date all Chinese strik-
ers will have been evacuated from

Naval Lieutenant.
A despatch from Hongkong says:—
There is joy in the hearts of British
residents in the Orient over the fact
that Prince George, younger brother
of the Prince of Wales, has been ap-
pointed to H.M.S. Hawkins, flagship
of the China Squadron, for continua-
tion of his naval carer. Nobody both-
ers about the reasons far his being
sent so far from home. All look upon
the appointment with the utmost sat-
isfaction; for it is_seldomthat a mem-
ber of the Royal House is seen in the
Far East, and the prospects are that
Prince George will put in two years
on the station as lieutenant.
Qnee he goes aboard the Hawkins,
the Prince will be treated just as any
other naval officer,for it is the King's:
express wish that no privileges be
dhown him." Luckily for Hongkong,

says:—St. Thomas went into mourn-

Pinafore tragedy took place. All busi-
ness places were closed for several
hours, the blinds were drawn, and' -a
general quietude pervaded.
Thousands of people lined the
streets and stood with bared heads as
the various funeral corteges proceed-
ed to the cemeteries.
He spent is very active twenty-four
hours. After visiting Government
House, he motored out to the seaside
and had a dip; then he attended a
luncheon at which leading officials
were present. The early afternoon
was spent on the golf links; then
British residents met him at a garden
party; following which he put in some
time as spectator at a military hoofing
tournament, and ended the day by at-
tending a public dance at the Repulse
Bay Hotel;
The next day he had a game of
tennis before breakfast and then went
aboard the liner Malwa to resume his
journey north. Everybody was
struck with the Prince's geniality and
unassuming manners.

Alberta Coal Soon on
Way to Ontario Homes
A despatch from Edmonton,' Alta.,
says:—While the 25,000 tons of Al-
berta coal to he shipped east to On-
tario under the arrangement with the
Canadian National Railway is being
loaded from various mines west and
south of Edmonton, and will be soon
rolling across the prairies to its des-
tination, there is some criticism of the
fact that most of the coal will be
loaded in snail cars averaging 33 tons
instead of larger cars which run from •
40 to 46 tons:
It is pointed out that if the C.N.R.
is considering a cost check-up, the
results will not be so favorable from
Alberta's point of view, the small
cars will add somewhat to the haulage
cost per ten. Otherwiao, the loading
is proceeding smoothly.
