TOWN COUNCIL High School Notes, Thanks to the energy and care of our effielent Executive, the. annual Promenade concert of the Literary Society was held without creating a deficit. , , .The annual tests will Roon be held. Dates will be announced later, The Wingham Town Council met in the Council Chamber on Monday, April 7th. A communication was read from the Salvation Army Headquarters and on motion of Reeve McKibbon and Conn. Bell a grant of $5 was made to assist in social work. A petition was signed by A, *Venal- stine et al asking for light on corner of Scott and Josephine was referred to the Electric Light Committee with power to act on motion of Spotton - and Mills. Moved by McKibbon and Bell that report of Finance committee be pass- ed—carried. • On recommendation of Street and. Sewer Committee a by-law asking for $9500 to purchase road machinery and construct a building to protect same will be referred to the people. This report was adopted on motion of Young and Bell. Moved by Young and Isbister that matter of placing phones in Firemen's houses be left with committee. Moved by Young and Iebister that we apply to Ontario Railway Board for permission to expeed $8,500 in developing lighting plant. Moved in amendnaent by Spotton and Boyce that an expert engineer not connected with sale of electrical ma- chinery be invited to visit our pbknt before expending $8500 on same. This matter was left over for two weeks and Electric Light committee will then furnish expert 'advice. Moved by Mr. Spotton and Mills that the Mayor and any Councillors who can visit the Hon. Adam Beck and find out Wingham's probable position re Hydro Power—carried. Moved by Spotton and Isbister, that C. P. R. and G. N. W. Telegraph and Bell Telephone Companies be request- ed to move poles from that portion of Josephine street which will be paved.. —carried. Moved by Spotton and Boyce that a sewer, beginning at Carling Terrace, down Victoria, across Frances, down Diagonal, thence down Victoria to Josephine, also Shuter from John to Diagonal, be laid under the initiative plan. • The Cle'tk was given a raise in salary and the band granted $200 for the currenttyear, —The Mockers who are so loudly proclaiming their right to free speech, have long since killed any claim they might possibly have for consideration at the hands of the government. Their idea of free speech is dreary repetition of threadbare arguments, waste of time in ventilating alleged scandals, which burst into nothingness when pricked-, and the holding up of supply by trivial, childish tactic!. * * * —Two things are clear. In the first place,there can be no practical de- velopment of local fleets, unless pro- vision is made enr the training of of- ficers and men in considerable ad- vance of the construction of ships. In the second place, naval develop- ment on those lines can add nothing to the effective strength of the Enapire for some years to come. It is no doubt with a clear regard to these considerations thee Mr. Borden's naval nropoeals have taken their present form. * * * —The benefits following the cleat of reciprocity are being demonstrated every day and the latest is seen in the announcement that an enot me is steel plant is to he erected near Sandwich, C:intatio. The capitalization of this great company is twenty million dol- lars and it is estimated that the works will employ in the vicinity of 5000 men. This meane that a new town will grow up with 5000 meta in the works and it is estimated that the establishment of this industry will mean a total population of not less than 20,000. Had reciprocity . paeeed these steel works would have 'beset iocated in Detroit, in the United States, as it is American capital. THE ONLY WAY. Thrown Prom Rig.

Tee Redpath Bureau manager was in town last week and considers the Wingham Opera, House the finest in a town this size in Ontario and he has therefore booked Eugene Laurent and Company, admittedly the greatest magical com- pany on the road, for two nights this week, Thursday and Friday, April 10th and Ilth. This attraction has played London twice and the Free Press says it is the best magical per- formance seen in that city. The Strat- ford Herald says the same, The De- troit and Toronto critics all speak in the same way. Here is our guarantee —If this attraction is not as represent- ed ask the box office for your money. We want the ladies and children as well as the men. We have therefore made the children's adneesion only 15c.

The most specta- cular performance with mystifying illusions and uproarious comedy is in store for you. Nothing like it has ever been seen here before.
