ORO IN THE 11; EG I SLAT U RE power has been coining in 144, good deal of discussion in the Legislature in the past few and not only has there been salon, but a great deal of crit - US well. ' The main point of criticism has been the buying and exporting of power by the Hydro Commission or the Government, which has become pretty much the same thing in recent years. As is well known, the Commission recently contracted for a large block of power to be supplied by Quebec. At the same time Ontario is selling power to the United States. The point of criticism in this buy- ing and selling is that Ontario is pay- ing a good deal more for the power supplied by Quebec than she is re- ceiving for the power sold to the States. The contention of the Government is that the power supplied for United States consumption is sold under con- tracts made by private companies be- fore Niagara power was taken over and controlled by the Hydro Commis- sion, and that the price then set will have to rule until the expiration of these long term contracts, when new prices to meet or even exceed these charged by Quebec will be written in- to the new contracts. In this, the Government is in all likelihood correct and until such time as American contracts expire Ontario will have to continue paying more for ' the power she has to buy than for the power she is at present export- ing. But other criticisms beside this have entered into the discussions in the Legislature, nor have they been con- fined to members opposed to the Gov- ernment. In fact one Conservative member went so far as to say that favoritism was being Shown to certain localities in the matter of prices charged and further, that as Hydro was a public utility a flat rate should be charged to all consumers alike. We would not like to say that the contention of this Conservative mem- ber was a correct one, but certainly his criticism of prices is a just one, and one which touches more nearly the pockets and interest of consum- ers, especially those in the northern and western parts of the Province, 'who are called upon to pay. in some cases, more than double the prices charged consumers in large centres and favorably situated localities, al- though they have been users of hydro power since its inception. Hydro power is a publicly owned utility, the same as the Post Office Department, or any other department •o'ver which the Government have con- trol in the interests of the people. Just why there should the Hydro Com- mission be allowed to give cut prices to large consumers of power and tack the loss on to the small consumer? That is something that has never been explained, at least to the satis- faction of the small consumers, who represent a very large proportion of the Province. Rural mail delivery costs no more to 'the people in the country than city de- livery costs the people in the city, yet the cost of such delivery in the ceun- try is many times the cost of mail de- livery in the cities, in proportion to the number of people served. The man in the country who buys meted effort. But, it the naro.es of U the Men who bought 'sweepstakes' iekets with the arn.ount they paid foe them; the names of all the men who made bets in the pool roams and pn the race track, with the amount put up by each; the names of all the men and the amounts they wagered in fields of so called sport, along with the names of all the men who played the stock market within the past year, and the amounts each contributed thereto, could be listed and published in some paper alongside a column containing the names of all the win- ners and the amounts won, there are very few men whose names appeared in that left hand column, but who would be forced to admit that they had gambled, and gambled on a bila lion to one shit at that. If such a list could only be compiled and published yearly, gambling would be a dead issue, because no man couli afford or would want to take a billion to one chance against his name ap- pearing on the sucker list. Unfortunate it is, that the 'world only hears about the winners of chance. News of liensa4 a d District Son of elan came to seek that which was lost." Mrs. Edna Follick-Hearts sang a solo at the Morning service and a duet with Miss Follick in the evening. The men's chorus also sang. Ed. Haberer, apiarist, of Zurich, was a pleasant caller among friends in town on. Monday. Speaking of the situation in Ontario it was learned that the ruling price for the best honey in quantities is just 6% cents, which is about the cost of the pres- ent day production. Mose of last sea- son's crop is in storage in warehouses throughout Ontario and for the most part belongs to the Ontario produc- ers, who cannot realize on sams until it is sold. Mr. Haberer has been in the bee business 18 years and at the present time is president of the Hur- on Bee Keepers' Association. Mr. and Mrs. Robertson and fam- ily, of Goderich, visited his aunt, Mrs. Eliza Willis on Sunday. Mr. Traquair, of Hensall, visited with his son, Albert, on Sunday. Rev. Mr. Moorhouse was able to at- tend the church services as a listener on Sunday. He is much improved in health and each day is getting strong- er. The return of the blackbirds on Saturday certainly brought dirty weather and a cold east wind, term- inating with a snowstorm on Sunday, which again covered the ground with the beautiful white. Mrs. Wes. Snell, Mrs. C. L. Wilson, Misses Doreen Dunn, Ethel and Mar- ion Bissett motored to St. Marys on Sunday to pay their lest respects to Emmerson Wright, late manager of the Chainway Store here, and offer their sympathy to the bereaved mother.

That Naughton, Teacher. is the way the post office department is operated, and all people, so far, have agreed that it could be operated EXETER in no other way. Certainly if the post office utility was operated on the same basis as the Hydro utility is, there would be no rural mail delivery and the cost of writing letters would be a mighty expensive business for the every day man or woman. The fact of the matter is that an impartial but thorough investigation into Hydro power, its costs, its over- head and all its works has been long overdue. If the members of the Leg- islature can bring this about, they will have justified themselves to their constituents, even if they bring forth no other legislation during their terms of office,.

The Late A. F. Eacrett.—The fol- lowing sketch refers to a late brother of Mr. Robert Eacrett, a short dist- ance southwest of our village on the ' second concession of the Township of Hay, and the deceased will no doubt be well known by many of the early residents in this section, who will re- gret to learn of his very sudden death; "Albert Fleming Eacrett, 60, for 45 years an active Clallam County farm- er, died at the wheel of his automo- bile from a blood clot while en route 'to his farm home at Dry Creek „late yesterday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Eacrett had motored to Port Angeles on business and were returning to the farm about 4.30 p.m. At the junc- tion of the Lower Elwha road with the Olympic Highway he slowed the automobile down and slumped: over the wheel in a faint. The car left the road, but did not turn over. Mrs. Eacrett walked nearly one-half mile to the farm and summoned her sons, Percy and Warren ,to aid their father. As the boys neared the car Mr. Eacrett waved to them and called a greeting passing away immediately afterwards. Albert Fleming Eacrett was born in Exeter, Ontario, Canada, on August 20th, 1871, and forty-five years ago moved to Port Angeles to be near his cousins, who had preced- ed him to Clallam County. He rented the Whiteman farm at the mouth of the Elwha, working it and also work- ing in the old Dry Creek Logging Company as a side -line. Forty years ago he purchased the present Eacrett "home farm" at Dry Creek and, with his sons, has developed it into one of the fine farms of that region. He gradually increased his farm holdings until he owned •a 140 -acre farm on Quillayute Prairie, the 75 -acre "'Mor- an place" at Dry Creek, and the 70 - acre "Eacrett home place" at Dry Creek. After being here a few years. Mr. Eacrett returned to Exeter, Can- ada, where he was joined in mar- riage to Isabell Campbell, of Exeter, on July 19th, 1899. Mr. Eacrett was one of the founders of the present Angeles Co-operative Creamery, and served for many years. He was a devoted member of the Dry Creek Grange and served for many years as master of that organization. He had • practically retired from active farm ilife two years ago, and enjoyed trav- elling, but recently be had. taken ever active operation of one of his proper- ties. He is survived by the following: Mrs. Isabel Eacrett, Dry Creek; sons, E. Warren Eacrett and T. Percy Eacrett, of pry Creek, and N. Lloyd Eacrett, of Kirkland, Washington; three brothers, A. L. Eacrett, Holly- wood, California; Fred Eacrett, San Diego, California; Robert Eacrett, Exeter, Canada; a sister, Mrs. Sam Webber, of Houston, Texas; cousins.
