TORONTO REAL ESTATE On the principle that far of hills look green, a large amount of Ont- ario money has been invested in Western towns of doubtful possibili- ties, while right at our door in the city of Toronto are to be found what are probably the best real estate . investments in Canada. Toronto will add to its population this year as many people as there are in two towns like Saskatoon. Toronto has a population of 420,- 000 and is growing rapidly. The opening up of Greater Ontario, the rapid settling of the West, the en- largment of our canal system all combine to make Toronto the most favorably situated city in the Dom- inion. Its growth during the next five years will surpass all past records. We can give valuable information • to intending investors as we have made a personal inspection of the different parts of the city.

BLUEVALE. The bush-league season opened on the 24th of May, The game was galled for sunset, in a field of waving hay; The Junction squad expected to put Bluevale on the burn, While the Blue! Jays were determined it would k$ep them going some. All Bluevale had! assembled, every fan in town was there, While citizens rein other towns kept pouring in or fair. The merchant let his counter, and the farmer dro ped his plough, And ranged ound the bleachers were four 1 ies and a cow. The Junction squa to open on The breezes w their whisk Ere leaving home to sweethea And vowed to need be, wi For they had 1 hockey ga And in their rug feat was ra The Blue Jays sto for on that Their sires in (or, so thei r marched up to bat t e game, hi tied loudly through s as they came; hey'd said farewell ts and to wives, urchase victory, if their lives. o t to Bluevale in a m of yore, ed bosoms that de - ling sore— d up brave and bold, s it had bled, ma y a hard-won match athers said.) "Play ball!" the u pire shouted from somewhere i the hay, And with that s ern and loud com- mand, the Ju ction get away; Long years of toil nd struggle in the gaunt and sh ggy woods Had not impaired their faculty for putting up the goods. As one by one thi rival team came surging proud y home, The Bluevale fans in black despair pawed up the sandy loam, They tried to fan the batters, at the umpire loud they railed, But everything they tried to do to change the standing failed. One inning more wes left to play, and things were looking blue, When just about the time the early stars came peeping through, And Eve's first gentle shadows slowly crept across the land, The man who held the broomstick for the forest rangers fanned. That wall the mere beginning; some- thing happened to their nerves; The pitcher mowed them down in heaps with simple little curves, And as the Blue Jays strolled to plate acroshe "wilt ht land 'They knethe had the Junction in • the hollow their hand. What hapo ned i the climax no one present cou d detail; The flies went ripping through the air like 31a itoba hail; And round the usky diamond there flew a strea: of light, The white shi ts of the Blue Jays shooting ho e across the night. The Junction squ d was on the slump, they fumbl d in their play. Whene'er a b 11, dropped from the sky they se shed to shrink away And as the umpir donned his coat the breathless .rowdy between He cried aloud 'The game is o'er— the score is nine thirteen!" Oh somewhere o that summer night men may h. ve sighed with care, And somewhei people may have wept and t rn their raven hair But men and mai( s and boys and girls and kids an children, too, That festal nig t in Bluevale joined in one comb ned, "liurrool" As o'er the drow.y summer land the noise began to flow, The roosters woke up all around and started in to' crow, The northern light leaped up aloft and waved their flags of silk, The cow kicked ijp her heels so high she nearly stkained her milk. The Junction squad turned sadly off to seek their forest home, From those far NA?oodland haunts, per- haps, they never more will roam. Arounu their floors at night, 'tis said, the bears and wildcats bark, And while they'r game by daylight they get nery us in the dark. Baseball Games. Since our last issu have been played in league.

The following is the report of the Chief Engineer of the Hydro -Electric Power Commission .n the water power south of Zetland, he report was re- ceived last week by Town Clerk Groves. January 2n0, 1912. HON. ADAM BECK, Chairman, H, dro-Electric Power Commissi.n, Toronto, Ont. Dear Sir:— Under date of No ember 12th, 1910, a resolution of the t'ouncii of the Town of Wingham was forwarded to the Commission, asking to have a certain power site on the aitland River ex- amined with a view o reporting on the probable power cape ity and the cost of development. The site of the d:velopment, which is located on Lot 32 of the 13th Con- cession of East Wa anosh, about (11-4 miles from the Tow of Wingham, has no natural advantages of any kind. There is no natural ead, all dam con- struction must be f a unded on material other than rock, a . the flow charac- teristics of the stream vary to such an extent that at low water the power capacity is very lim ted, 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 f the site disclosed the fact that a de ailed survey would be necessary in or er to determine the possible head, and o ascertain the ex- tent of back-wate This survey indi- cated that a 15 foo head at the site of development woul involve land dam- ages to the extent f about 150 acres and would back p the water about 4 1-1 miles. A play of this survey was forwarded to the Municipality under date May 12, 1911, with a letter stating that no further re ort would be forth- coming until some efinite information had been procured in connection with the flow characteristics of the stream. Beginning with June 17, 1911, month- ly measurements pf flow have been made up to the pre ent date, the last gauging having been made on Decem- ber 21st, 1911. T e results of these measurements are t bulated hereunder giving the power parity under a 15 foot head for the various observed stages of flow: --- June 17th, 1911 21 sec. ft. 270 H. P. July 17th, " 13 " " 174 " Aug. 12th, " 8 ( " " 108 " Sep. 19th, " 8 " " 102 „ Oct. 14th, " 16 " " 210 " Nov. 19th, " 244 " " 3000 " Dec. 2lst, " 92 " " 1150 " The above figures indicate that during the past summer he period of mini- mum flow occurre during the months of August and Sept .mber, and it is to be noted that the tflow measurements made during these months do not indi- cate the extreme minimum discharge, This is proved by thee fact that meas- urements taken at Goderich on the same date did not; indicate' minimum flow, as the gauge at Iden Millar regis- tered lower stages both before and after the dates of the August and Sep- tember gaugings. 1jn view of this, it would not be safe to i.ssume the mini- mum flow at Win ham at anything higher than 70 sero d -feet for the past summer. This is quivalent to a 24 hour power capacit of 90 H. P. On the basis of th above figures, if it is assumed that minimum flow condi- tions obtain durin the Summer and not during the Wint r, the continuous annual capacity of the site would be about 100 H. P. fd4• 24 hr. power de- pending on the char cter of the load. As above menti ned, there is no natural head avails le so that the oper- ating head, which i, taken at 15 feet, will require to be created wholly by means of a dam. 7 he estimated cost of a plant of 200 H. installed under this head totals $96, a 00, and the total estimated annual c arge is $10,500, which makes the an ual cost of power $105 per H. P. on a continuous 24 hr. basis, or $70 per H. •. per annum on a 10 hr. basis. Owing to the unf• vorable character of the bottom at th • site of develop- ment, the main it ms of cost in the above estimate ar. the dant, power- house, and excavati.n and unwatering. These items alone .tal $50,0n0 and are the variable and u certain items in the esiimate. Even ssuming, however, that this portion . the above sum or $25,000, the total capital investment and annual charge would still be suffi- cient the cost'about per cleat to make1$07e l 1 H H. P. per annum n a 24 hr. basis,and and $58 per H. P..n a 10 hr. basi. It is to be noted that these figures do not include the co•t of local distribu- tion, but only the cost of delivering power at 2200 vol s in the municipal substation. The elivery of this power to the individual ustomer would nec- essitate a further capital outlay and a eonsequentincre.:e of the annual cost of power. It would seen, herefore, in view of the above facts, hat the development of this site to the extent necessary for the requirements .f the Town of Wing - ham is not comm,, cially feasible. This site might be dev loped for a capacity of 50 to 20') H. P. .y means of a cheap wooden dam contr.fling a head of about 10 feet, and the h draulic power used by some industry hich would not suf- fer serious incon\ ience from lick of power at low sta . es of flow. Apart from this p. Ossibili c the site has no ec- onomic value as a ource of power. You s truly, W.
