FRASER NOMINATED
leiberal Candidate for North Hume
ln Coming Election.
The weather on Friday was very
wet and disagreeable and coneequent-
ly the attendance at the Liberal con-
veution held in Wingintin that after-
noon was very small.
Sheldon Brooker of Fordwielt,
president of the Association, presided.
Mr. leraser's aomination was moved
by Alex. Gibson of Pordwich and sec-
onded by Le 13. Elliott of Wingham.
No other names were placed beeore
the convention, and on a standing
vote Mr. Frasers nomination was
made tumultuous.
In his speech of acceptauce Mr.
Isra,oer thanketj the convention for
the honor.
"I have been expelled from the
*United. Farmers, I expect, tor daring
to be a Liberal," lie reMarked, "I
am not worrying, because I was not
expelled by the farmer e of North
Huron, but by outside agitators who
controlled the U. F. O. meeting. I
have always foetid the farmers fair."
Mr. Fraser stated that he did not
intend to be bound by party lines,
but would look after the interests of
liis ridieg. He also declared, against
protection, but considered that a
DOMinion. .question,
He thought that if a get-together
spirit was manifested by the classes
of Ontario to solve the big problems
ahead it might manage to satisfy
all, with the possible exception or the'
millionaires and proeteers. He claim-
ed that Toronto was favored by the
Hydro and thought that Huron coun-
ty should receive a better rate for
Power.
W. H. F'ItASER, M, P. P.
In addition he wanted to see the
rural districts receive their fair
share of attention from the Provin-
cial authorities, claiming that mil-
lions were being squandered on the
,Toronto -Hamilton highway, which.
was, he asserted, merely a road for
joy -riding for the wealthy.
Mr. J. McGregor, of Halton, a farm"er, addressed the convention, stating
his regret • that the farmers would.
come chiefly by ousting the Hearst
government. He said tne people of
the province did not now rule, but
that the government, once in power,
• "treated the people with contempt"
Premier Hearst he characterized as a
"menace" to the fanners, and charged
him with "squandering their money at
the rate of a million a day," It wait
the fault of the Tories, he said, that
farms were deteriorating and "were
going back into pasture and com-
mon."
Sheldon Brecker, of Fordwich,
president of the North Huron Lib-
erals, who presided to -day, complain-
ed at some length Of the treatment
that had been accorded him at the U.
• F.O. convention for the riding, which
was held recently. They wouldn't
allow him to address that convention
unless he told first what he wanted to
speak about, and. this he had declin-
ed to do. To a reporter on that oc-
casion Mr. Brecker admitted he want-
ed to speak on behalf of Mr. Fraeer,
Major J, C. Tolraie, M. P. P. for
Windsor, Made the principal speecli
of the afternoon, although he
apologized for the fact that he was
not as yet well baelt into the politi-
cal arena, owing to his recent re-
turn from overseas. He made a'hot
attack on the Hearst government
for its treatment of the farmers. The
discontent which caused the forma-
tion of the United Fanners' Amnia.
tion, he declared, came from the
absolute apathy shown by the
Ilearet government to the problems
of the farm. The Previncia,1 gov-
ernment had done nothing for the
farmers, and the discontent and tb.e
formation of the U. F. O. siMplY Went
to prove it,
At the same time he thought that
the farmers belonged by right in the
Liberal fold, "The Ulna the Lib-
erals have been fighting for are the
things the United Farmers are fight-
ing for," he declared. He dikl not
favor legislation for one body, which
was what such an organizatiot as
the U.1.0. would bring. What the
Liberals stooa,for and. what he stood
for was proportional representation,
be' which the farmers, Labor, manu-
facturers and others would have their
own men in the Legislature.

WINOUANI, ONT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25th, 1919
HYDRO DISCUSSED '
Power At Wingham will coo $40
per IA, p•
A meeting of the representatives of
the different municipalities in this
vieinity that are likely to be served
by hydro in the next rew months, was
held at Wingham on Thursday after..
noon. Mayor Gurney occupied the
chair, and in a few words WelcOmed
the delegates to Winghara,
Mr. jaxnes and Mr. Flint, hydro
engineers of Toronto, were presant,
Mr. jarnes pointed out that each muni-
cipality would control its own sys-
tem by means of a local commission
which would be elected in the same
manner as a town. cinincil. Hydra
power from F,ugenia Falls was noW
at Hanover and would be continued
from there to Wingbam. Later .on
the Saugeen power would be (level%)
ed and a line from Port Elgin would
be attached to Eugenia line. When
more power was needed than could be
supplied by theselines, a trunk line
would be attached from Harriston to
Mount Forest, a distance of five or
six miles, and tnen7the entire Niagara
Eugenia and 'Saugeen powers weal
be united.
At Eugenia Falls there is .1990
acres dammed with a 550 foot head
and another dam is being construct-
ed at Fevertishaxn. At present Eug-
enia can supply 8,000 It. p. end when
Niagara is connected the supply would
Te unlimited, The estimate of costs
Is based. on the amount of power
Used and rates are adjusted each year.
For instance; at first, each =Val-
pality will have to bear its share of
the cost of lipes-construction, but year
after year as more power is used
the cost will gradually come down,
In order to get hydro, the council
• will have to submit an enabling by-
law to the people and. later, or pos.-
sibly at the smile time, a bylaw to
• raise money to commence work.
A. schedule of the rates of hydro for
eacb of the different municipalities
affected, was given as follows;
Port Blgin, 800 lee. @ 345.
Southampton, 300 h.p. 0 $47,
Walkerton, 300 less' $35. .
Mildmay, 50 h.p. 0 $52.
Formosa, 50 h.p. 0 $61.
Lueknow, 100 h.p. @ $ 68.
Ripley, 50 h.p. $88.
Kincardine, 350 h.p. $48.
Teeswater, 150 h.p. @ $46.
Wingham, 400 lap. @ $40.
13elgrave, 25 h.p. @ $70.
Blyth, 100 laP, tt $78.
Brussels, 100 liar 0 $81:
Bluevale, 25 h.p. 380,
Wroxeter, 75 h.p. 0 $70.
Gorrie, 50 bap. @ 366.
Fordwich, 50 h.p. @ $80.
Each municipality pays a propor-
tion of generating expense aud 'trans-
portation and the charges aro fixed
according to the number of horse
power it taken. Payments on the
fund are deffered for the first five
years or, twenty-five years, thus giv-
ing the municipality a chance to
build up so that at the end of • live
years the rate will' be down to minus
the sinking fund rate.
A great advantage of hydro is the
24 hour service. It can bo so ar-
ranged that a naunicipality may sell
power in day time and the same newer
at night in light, thus getting double
money for a horse power thus sold.
If the enabling bylaw were passed
In November the hydro commission
could buy material and have it plac-
ed on the ground during the winter to
permit an early start on the work in
the aspen,
Mr. Stevens of Port Elgin occupied
the chair for the people's afternoon
meeting. .A. resolution was moved
by G. H. Mooney of Ripley and T. R.
Bennett of Wingham, that the dele-
gates on returning to their different
municipalities, prevail on their re.
spective councils to submit an enab-
ling bylaw at once—carried.

Miss Morrisey Not Always A
Singer She Says
Miss IVIarie Morrisey, whose concert on
Tuesday, Sept. 300h. at (Wingham) pro.
raises to be one of the most delightful of
the season, insists that her voice was not
always received with the same favor as it
is to -day.
It seems that Miss Morrisey has always
been determined to sing, And when she
was a little girl, she used to- lift up her
voice and carol loudly for the edification
of herself and all the neighbors.
One day, the policeman on the beat
passed Miss Morrisey's house, and hear-
ing strange winds issuing forth, he finally
concluded to investigate,
Ile was a good policeman, was Pat. and
he took an interest in all the affairs of the
street. So he presented hints& before
Miss iVforrisey's mother,
"Madame," said he, "is that your
child?" Miss Morrisey ceased her singing
long enough to hear her mother admit the
relationship.
"Well, Madam," said Pat, "what in the
world is the matter with her to make her
cry all the time!"

Dear father;
Reeeiving "no adverse criticiem
my account of my trip from Wingh
to Vancouver, and having a wl
afternoon and evening to wait fo
train itlast; I will now endeavout
keep ray promise to try and defier
my second trip through the mo
tains, from Vancouver, B. C. to M
leod, Alberta.
Atter three months or pleasant a
never -to -be forgotten 1101141,4Y6 013.
Pacific coast, I finally decided to st
eastward on Aagust 4th. I was g
en a great eend-off by the relati
and friends at Vancouver. I op
the last afternoon at Aunt Rut
residence on Thirteenth Avenue We
where quite nuraber of relati
gathered for a final social time
fore I left.
There were Ha IriallY friends at t
etation to see me off that an abaci -sr
might haVe mistaltefi me for so
celebrity. All good things come
an end sometime and my lovely v
it on the coast was over, when I le
the C. P. R.' depot on the 8 p.
train. A,s I wantee to travel.throu
a different part of the country a
thus see more of tne wonderful mou
tain scenery, , purchased my tick
via Hoge and the Kettle Valley R.
and through the Crow's Nesta Pa
to ,Macleod,
It, was still fairly light, when tb
trate palled out and we were soo
viewing the beautiful Scenery alon
Burrard inlet. This inlet forms th
harbour of Vancouver and. also ex
tends many miles inland, graduall
becoming narrower. There war
many pleasure craft serenely speedin
along on its smootb. wateas, wide
• brought back memories of some o
the little excursions I had enjoye
them during zest few .mouthe
There were a, few fishing boats to b
seen lying moored and small woodel
dock, here and there running ou
from the shores, renainded of pia
tures I had seen of quaint old Dute
quays.
Speeding along past Burrard Inlet
we were soon at Westminster Jct.
and from there we followed the cours
of tee Fraeer 'river to Hope, whey
we crossed the mighty and treacher
ous stream. Passing over the mass
'lye steel bridge we had a good look
at the swirling and bubbling cross
currents, caused by the treacherous
undertow,
At Hope we cha,nged to the Kettle
Valley Rs R. at 11.40 pan. and for a
few hours the curtain was down, the
darkness of night hiding the country
from view. Judging by the occasion
al tunnels and many sharp curves,
which took the place of a nurse for
turning you over in your fitful slum-
bers, I concluded that the country
was fairly rough and hilly.
Before going, to sleep, I let my
mind wander back over the past
months, The many vivid and pleas-
ant recollections, I carried away with
me, will last for a long time. I am
an Easterner every time, but I will
always have a soft spot in my heart
for the Pacific coast.
