The Wawanosh Waterpower,
Report Of IIydro-Electric Engineer
The following is the official report
of the Engineer of the liydeo-Electric
Commission, on the above watter-pow
er, recently received by Mr. Groves.
Town Clerk ---
Dear Sir: ---Under d.ete of Nov. 12th
1910, a resolution of the Council of the
Town of Wingham was forwarded to
the Commission, asking to have a cer-
tain power site on the Maitland Rivet
examined with a view to reporting on
the probable power capacity and the
cost of development.
The site of the development,, which
is located on lot 32 of the 13th conces-
sion of E. Wawanosh, about 01 miles
from the Town of Wingharn, has no
natural advantages of any kind.
There is no natural head, all dam con-
struction must be founded on material
other than rock, and the flaw char-
acteristics of the stream vary to such
an extent that at low water the pow-
er capacity is very limited, while at
high water there is every probability
that the head reduction will be such
as to seriously effect the operation of
the turbine wheels.
An examination of the cite disclosed
the fact that a detailed survey would
be necessary in order to deterrnine the
possible head, and to ascertain the ex-
tent of back -water. This survey indi-
cated that a 15 foot head at the site of
development would involve land dam-
ages to the extent of about 150 acres
and would back up the water about 4e
miles. A plan of this survey was for-
warded to the Municipality under date
May 12, 1911, with a letter stating that
no further report would be forthcom-
ing 'until some' definite information
had been procured in connection with
the flow characteristics of the stream.
Beginning with June 17, 1911,
monthly measurements of el Ay have
been made up to the present date, the
last gauging having been made on
Dec. 21st, 1911. The results of these
measurements are tabulated hereun-
der giving the power capacity under
a 15 foot head for the various observed
stages of flow, •

The above figures indicate that dur-
ing the past summer 'the period of
minirnutn flow occurred during the
months of .August and Septetnber,
and it is to be noted that the flow
measurements made during these
months do not inclisate the extreme
minimum discharge. This is proved
by the fact that measurements taken
at Goderich on the same date did not
indicate minimum flow, as the gauge
at Benmiller registered lower stages
both before and after the dates of the
August and September gaugings. In
view of this, it would not be safe to
assume the minimum flow at Wing -
barn at anything higher .than 70 sec-
ond -feet for the past summer. This is
equivalent to a 24 hour power capacity
of 90 H. P.
On the basis of the above figures, if
it is assumed that minimum flow con-
ditions obtainur n
d i g the summer and
not during the winter, the continuous
annual capacity of the bite would be
about 100 HT. for 24 hour power, and
from 15'0 to 200 H. P. for 10 hour power
depending on the character of the
lord.
As above mentioned, there is no
natural head available so that the
operating head, which is taken at 15
feet, will require to be created wholly
by means of a, dam. The estimated
cost of a plant of 200 H. P. installed
capacity opeeatiog under this head
totals $90,000, and the total estimated
annual charge is $10,500, which makes
theannual cost power $105 per R P.
on a continuous 24 hr. basis or $70 per
H.P. per annum on a 10 hr. basis.
Owing to the unfavorable character
of the bottom at the site of develop.
nment, the train items of cost in the
abave estimate are the daatn, power-
house, and excavation and unwater-
ing. These items alone total $50,000
and are the variable and uncertain
items in the eetiimmaate. Even assuming,
however, that this portion of the work
only costs half of the Above sum or
$25,000, the total capital investment
and annual charge would still be sutlie
(tient to make the cost, About $07 per
I.i,P. per annum oh a 24 hr. basis, and
$58 per H.P. on a 10 hr. basis-.
It is to be noted that these figures do
)e.,- not include: the cost of local distribu-
tion, but only the cem,t of delivering
power at 2200 volts in the municipal
substation. The delivery of this pow-
er to the individual customer would
necessitate a further capital outlay
grid a consequent increase of the omen -
al cost of power.
It would seem, therefore in view of
the above facts, that the development
of this site to the extent necessary for
the regnireinebts of the Town of
Winghatn rs not commercially feataibhe.
'this site might be developed fort a
cap teity of 50 to 20011.1'. by norms of
a therm wooden darn controlling a
head of about 10 feint, and the hydrant.

which wotticd not anff'er serlotee incon.

For June Brides.
June brides will be much different
this year from the June brides of
other years. No bride ever looks the
same as another bride, but this year
fashion has decreed unusual varieties
in the way of color forthe bride. In-,
stead of unrelieved white, the bride
wears a bit of pink. She may select
for her wedding gown instead of tyle
white satin a wedding gown of crepe
de chene, crepe meteor, charmeuse or
any silken fabric that either is white
or has a tinge of pink, Another
vovation is the use of heather, lour i
leaves or a fillet of silver instead of the
time honored orange blossoms. I' the
bride wishes to be daring she may
carry a bouquet of gorgeous red roses,
Invitations and announcements are
very neatly printed at the Advance
office.

The Anti•Trreating Law.
The Toronto Wqe/a-"thee outlines
the proposed an i"treating`1et,�wto be
intoduced by t Ontario Govle nment
at the next s Beton. "It will a far-
reachingti • s effect, and of a astic
nature, rxnewill thoroughly elinn nate
the treating system, which was riti-
cised sogseverely by Sir James
ney on he floor of the house two
months go, The hotelkeeper the
bartender the man who bus the
drink, ranct e than who is gen the
treat, will be , roseeuted• der the
new law. The to . iareeeplante are de-
signed to reach every person who may
commit an offenoe under the a anti-
treating law, It ie believed that by
this means the habit will be discourag-
ed more than if action were taken
against the hotelkeepers' license, The
anti -treating law, which in all probe.
bility will be incorporated, in all
amendment to the Viper .License Act,
will impose heavy fines upon hotel -
keepers who violate the law for the
first and second time, and on the third
occasion the license will be cancelled
The bartender will likely be fitiieyd to
the aainount of $100 oar $200, and the
"treator" and "treated" will be dealt
With in a similar way" So its ie said,

S. T. Bobier and W. T. Brydges, of
Belgrave, have completed their wire-
less outfits in accordance with the in-
structions given in Loudon Advertiser
by Jack Binns, Their outfits are
situated about two miles apart. and
are giving satisfactory results. They
are anxious to get into communication
with others who live within a radius
of ten or fifteen miles. For the beni-
fit of others who are having any diffi-
culty in constructing their instru-
ments and in getting the best results,
they suggest that the wire used for
connecting the instruments with the
aerial and ground should be large
enough so that the oscillations will
not be chocked back and thus the
efficiency of the set lowered. A water
pipe makes the best ground connection,
but if there be no water or gas pipe,
an iron rod from four to six feet long,
if properly connected will give good
results 1f the ground be kept damp
around it. The aerial will give best
results if built parallel with the
ground as a slanting aerial will not act
the same in all directions. Be sure
that they will not come in contact
with other objects or the ground.
The one -inch spark coil gives the best
results for local work. These gentle-
men will be pleased to give any infor-
mation they can to anyone interested
in wireless,
