General Observations
Canada needs strict economy in
Y er y branch of
government and
•
greater production for export in every•
industry.
**
The electric current in 'Western
Ontario, during the end of the past
week was something like' the China -
man's description of a flea: "Him a
little thing, You catch him, he not
there."
*as:
Blyth .Tgricultural Society voted at
their annual 'fleeting to devote• the
money* spent on horse racestoassist-
iug-school fairs as a better attraction,
This is something for others to con-
sider.
"'Tis an iii -wind that blows no body
any good:" The icy condition of the
streets allowed the newsboys to delis.
er their papers on skates during the
past few day,.
(hrtariu justice is becoming a very
peculiar thing to the ordinary man.
The administration is becoming cen-
tralized to one place in the county
and witnesses are taken miles away
to these places, instead of magistrates
holding court on the spot, Take the
lamentable case• of the shooting at
Kincardine.' Twice a preliminary
trial has been called and adjourned
at Walkerton. thirty miles away, en-
tailing unnecessary expense. Former-
ly a case like this would be handled
-u the spot at Kincardine, where the
witnesses live and the expenses would
he very little. Besides, a magistrate
on the snot is in a better position to
judge the merits of the case.
• GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
By TT r, H. T. 1.
to inti is at a depth of about forty
feet. This done, :the damaged pipe)
could be removed and replaced by
good pipe, It may be objected that the
ground has been so damaged by the
blasting done by the contractor that
it would cave in, but surely greater
tngineerieg difficulties than this have
been overcome. All thiswould mean
expenditure of money, but it would
be an "expenditure to save from utter_
lass the expenditure that has already
been made.
It may be, however,that this sec-
ond well will not be needed, or that
it would not help out much if it ware
needed.
Millis Chipman, ,the somewhat not-
ed engineer of Toronto, in. giving ad-
vice as to drilling some artesian wells,
salcd rsometb..ing to this effect: If you
drill one well and get -water, but net
enough, do not think you will get
double the quantity by drilling an,.
other well. The reasoning that if one
well yields a certain quantity, two
wells will yield twice that quantity,.
does not apply here. The two wells
tap the same .supply, and they can-
not give more ,than that supply will
furnish."
So there you are. and this is enough
for this time.

The. Misses McDaid we^e in Mil -
shell on Saturday.
Perhaps the most husy place in
Seaforth just now is the area at the
hack of the town hall where the new
pumping station is being hurried to
completion. The work in the pump
house and in the dwelling house is
carried on with little noise; but not
so the work on the high tank. We
may say of the high tank that it re-
sembles Solomon's temple in that its
parts were prepared for their respect
ive places miles and miles away, while
it differs from Solomon's temple in
that mach hammering and riveting are
needed to work those parts into it,
structure, whereas in the erection of
the aforesaid temple, no sound of
hammer or other tool was heard. By
the way, Solomon is the gentleman
who declared about three thousand
years ago that there is no new thing
under, the sun. What would he say at
the sight of some of the modern dis-
coveries and inventions It would be
a gpod idea to have Sir Conan Doyle
call hint up.
The men have certainly worked
welt on the high tank during the cold
weather. Sometimes. when the tetn-
perature was ,close to zero, the
merry rat -tat of the pneumatic riveter,
like the roll of a drum, could be heard
all over town. Few of us envied the
tank Wren their job even though they
were up in the world. One wonders
that a job of this 'kind is left for tnid
winter.
But thanks to the perseverance of
these men. under trying conditions,.
the tank will soon` be finished, and a
very important nart of the water
works equipment it will be. We are
subject to correction, but we believe
• ,i-ts,._dimenstons are as follows Height
to top of legs, 70 feet; from this point
to top of tank. 20.feet, staking a total
height of 90 feet; diameter of tank,
222 feet. with a hemispherical bottom,
which is very Macri better than a flat
bottom. The capacity of the tank is
nearly 65 thousand imperial gallons.
and the 90 feet of elevation will give a
neessure of nearly 39 lbs. per square
nch;
Shakespeare say; "the course of
true love never did run smooth,' and
like in the course of true love, there
has been •a little want of smoothness
in the waterworks operations al the
hack of the town hall. We refer to
the well at which Mr. 'Hopper is work-
ing. 'We may be sore that 11 the
authorities had ween the tr utble
ahead they would not, have paid off
the man who drilled it, and allowed
biro to depart in peace, and eertainly
the little brick building would not
have been erected over it.
While Mr. Hopper is working like
a Trojan to make the well all right,
we fear his efforts will he'futile: Per -
traps the heal: expert advice in this
case would be to dig a well say 5 feet
to diameter around the pipe down to
where the trouble is, which we utider-

morning at 7 a,m. it registered some

Timber Wolves Visit City. '
Another visitor. hut of the unwel-
come kind, has shown up several times
recently in the city. or the city limits,
the timber wolf, One was run down
-11 the hay Inc by an auto. crippled,
then dispatched. At night thne. an-
other on a road nearby the city, was
run over hy an auto, but was soon
dispatched by a hammer after snarl -
ng and trying to bite the driver, The
latter claimed it was a royal . race
for a time --first the auto gaining, then
the wolf. The auto lights seemed to
cnnftfsc the animal and it kept Tun-
ing on the road instead of taking to
the woods.
A few nights ago a lone wolf prowl-
ed around the Lakeside telephone
branch office of this city, which is in
charge of the female night operator.
She thought at first it was a dog
clawing and howling outside. The
night telephone operator at Police
headquarters was sent out to investi-
gate. When he turned the flash light
on the supposed dog, a wolf bounded
away in the direction of the woods.
Coon Hunting in Huron.
Thinking of the!oiden days when I
