General Observations Canada needs strict economy in - every branch of government and greater production for export in every industry,. *.* The electric current ia 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 hint, he not ' there," ** Blyth Agricultural Society voted at their annual meeting to devote- the money spent on horse races to assist- ing school fairs as a better attraction. .This is something for others to con- sider. 4* - • :- '''Tis an ill -wind that blows no body any good." The icy condition of the • streets allowed the newsboys to dens- er their papers on skates during the oast few day.. ** * Ontario 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 thee,. 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 on the snot at Kincardine, where the witnesses live and the expenses would be very little. Besides, a magistrate sei the spot is in a better position to mine the merits of the case. • --1:t GENERAL OBSERVATIONS fly W. T tt could he removed and replaced by good .pipe. It may be objected that the would has been so damaged by the blasting done by the contractor that it would cave in, but sttrely greater engineering difficultiee than this have been overcome, All this would mean expeaditure of money, but it would be aa expenditure to save from utter loss the expeaditUre that has already been made. It may be, however, that this seca ottd well will not be needed, or that it would not help out much if it were needed. • Willis :Chipthan,' the somewhat not- ed engineer of Toronto, in. giving ad - nee as to drilling some artesian wells, said sontettling to this effect: If you drill one well and get water, but not enough, do not think you will get double the quantity by drilling ah - 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. • . Perhaps the most busy- 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 iu 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- semhles Solomon's temple in that its parts were prepared for their respect Inc 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 tinder the sun. What would he say at the sight of some of the modern dis- coveries and inventions it would be a good idea to have Sir Conan Doyle call him up. The men have certainly worked Well on the high tank during the cold weather. Sometimes, when the tem- perature was elose 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 men their job even though they were up in the world. One wonders that a lob of this kind is left for mid- winter. But thth anks to e perseverance of these men... under trying conditions, the tank will soon be finished. and a very important hart of the water works equipment it will be. We are subject to correction, but we believe ..its.dimensions are as follows: Height to top of legs, 70 feet; from this point to top of tank. 20 -feet making a total height of 90 feet; diameter of tank. 222 feet, with a hemispherical bottom, which is very much better than a flat liottom. The capacity of the tank is .nearly 65 thousand imperial gallons. and the 90 feet of elevation will give a oseaeure of nearly 39 lbs. per square incIs. Shakespeare says "the course of time love never did run smooth," and like in the course of time love, there has been a little want of smoothness itc the waterworks operations at the back of the town hall. We refer to the well at which Mr.:Hopper ie work- ing. We may he sure that if the authorities had seen tr.,ubje ahead they would not have paid off the man who drilled it, and allowed him, to depart in peace, and certainly the little brick building would not have been erected over it, • While Mr. Hopper is working like Trojan to make the well all right, we fear his efforts will be 'futile. Per- haps the .best expert advice in this case would he to dig a well say 5 feet in diameter around the pipe down to where the trouble is, which we under- CAS1 A For infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of Cila.,,tee- --- LETTER FROM DULUTH.

Timber Wolves Visit City, Another visitor. but of the unwel- eome kind, has shown up several times recently in the city. or the city limite, the timber wolf. (Inc was ran clown di the has ire try an auto. crippled, then dispatched. At night thne, an- other 00 a road nearby the city, was run over by an auto. but was soon dispatched by it hammer after enarl- hig and tri 'nig 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 confuse the animal and it kept run- 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 (barge 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'olden days when I was a sojourner on Old Huron's soil, I remember near the commencement (if the '80's. George L. Johnston, a former schoolmate and myself went hunting, accompanied by our dog. "Help," whose joy was stirring up foxes and coons. In a bush belongieg to either James or Williatn Hogg, bro- thers and pioneers residing on the 7th emicession, and then holding home- steads near ours •an the 8th.

At this juncture, along came lames Henry Campbell. son of that 'ate worthy pioneer, Robert Camp, - bell, Sr.. of the 7 th conceesion, carry - tie a gun and accompanied by his dog Rover. The four coons had no chances of es,eaue with two active dsos and three husky voting chaps ably assisting. My hunting .Johnston of that day, George L.
