That this, is, true is indicated by prices advertised in a copy of the Toronto News of July 22, 1902. This particular issue of the 'long -since expired. To- ronto daily was found recently by Wilmer' Broadfoot as he was preparing 'to move from Tuck- ersmith to his new home in Seaforth. A-, large advertisei then, as now, The T. Eaton Co., offered " kid - gloves at 25 cents a pair. Other values at Eatons includ- ed: Lace curtains for $1.63; silks at 25c a yard, and ostrich capesand boas from $18 to $32.50. Peter Pan white waists were selling, for 49c, and wo- men's black cashmere hose for 12c. Other items of interest in - elude a reference to the .Ameri- can Presidential election of that year, in which William Jen- nings Bryan Opposed ' the in- cumbent, Teddy Roosevelt. The News reports the speech of Lord • Cromer to the British ,House of Lords, predicting wart with Germany within a few years. However, another peer, Sir Charles Nike, laughs to scion the idea of war between Germany and Great ',Britain, saying `neither country desires war and there 'is no reason tvhy there should be 'war.' The platform of Sir Robert Borden's Cbhaervative party in 1902 bears more than a Slight resemblanee to current propos- als before 'the Houge of Com- mons. The, Leader of the Op- position advocated Civil Ser - vie reform, improvement - of election methods, Senate re- form and maintenance of Pro- vincial Rights.' And in Niagara FaUs,vaille the flow of water WO a tunnel belpnging to the Nieggr -Falls. .Pitryer.Co., waa, shmtsoffduring efelfainejobsetta the tunnel's roofs the ..A.Merf- iaa Niagara is described as' be- ing "practically unleashed." A round trill rail fare Of $14.25 from Toronto 'to New .York is a striking contrast to today's rates. However, separ- atism, a question of great topi- cal interest, is also mentioned in 1902. ' The extreme French- Canadian, Le National, reports The News,' calls the visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada "an Outrage on the feelings of French-Canadians." . OWRC - Acts in Hensall Officials of the villages of .Hensall and Zurich, have been advised to hire consulting en- gineers to prepare a report, on the. installation of municipal sewage ,works, it was revealed in. an Ontario Water Resources CoMmission water pollution sur- vey report just released. The report states' that the villages are "major sources . of pollution by domestic and in- dustrial wastes"... These wastes are being discharged directly MW the storm sewer systems of the municipalities; a n d reaching provincial waterways. The report also warned that careful operation of Zurich's refuse disphs,a1 area. is neces- sary to 'insure that contamina- tion of a • nearby creek is avoided.
