R.ELLIOTT: PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR ••••• THURSDAY, OCT. 29, 1903. ELECTRIC LIGHT BY-LAW. On Tuesday, November 10th, the pro- perty.owners of Wingham will be called upon to say whether or not they are in favor of the purchase by the town of the plant and power of the Wingham Elec- tric Light Co. As the time draws near the question is becoming the subject of general interest, and there seems no reason to donbt that the proposition will receiVe a handsome majority at the polls. A public meeting for the discus- : aim of the question will be held in the : Opera House on Tuesday evening, Noy. 3rd, and it is hoped that the ratepayers 1 will give evidence of their interest in I this important matter by turning out en ; memo. t Some who are opposed to the scheme argue that it will necessitate an increase lin the rate of taxation, which they claim 1 is already sufficiently high; but it must I be pointed out that many Western On- e tario towns not as progressive or pros- etterous as.igingham have a much higher -itstenttfixation than we pay here. With ; the experience of many places that have • adopted municipal ownership of electric lighting systems before us, it seems rea- sonable to believe that Wingham could tnot do better than keep pace with the times in this matter. Below we give some information from places where the operation of electric lighting plants is • under municipal control:- Ia Parry Sound for the year 1902, the 'town had a net profit of $1,157.76, after paying all running expenses and deben- tures and interest. Municipal owner- iehip has been a success iu Parry Sound. In Willia the council figured on a profit of $1,500 a year on their municipal 'electric lighting plant. In addition to 'this the town has its street lights free; 60 incandescent eras of 1,000 power, worth $2.500. Iiere is one year of Kincardine's ex- - ience with municip al ownership of ir electric light plant: -"The revenue Vcini: electric light was 32,612.20; town services is credited at $1,100; arrears, $211.40; 'total $3,923.60. The sinking •fund and interest on the electric plant is a$846.61; the proportion of running ex- penses, $2,970.23, leaving a balance of :revenue over expenditure of $128.31 for 'the year." Two rich Chinamen of Big Bar, on the Fraser, and a poverty-stricken country- man, who was paid to take the onus of the murder of Ah Chee, in which all three participated, were found gnilty of the crime and Chief Justice Hunter sea - tinned them to hang on Dec. 4. NOTE§ AND COMMENTS. The South Billet) Liberal conventicle held at Fornmea on Thursday of last week was largely attended. A. W. Rebb, editor of the Walkerton Telescope received the nomination. Mr. Robb should snake a strong candidate. Sir Wilfrid, Leurier's speech upon the Alaskan boundary award, in the House of Commons Saturday in when he as. serted mast petition the Imperial I'arliu. meat for the power to make her own, treaties, has caused a great sensation in London, and the newspapersthere are commenting freely upoa the attitude of the Canadian Premier. Among the Ontario Judges who will shortly retire nuder the age limit fixed by the recent act of Parliament are: - Judges D. J. Hughes, of Elgin county, age $3; Judge Wm. Elliott, of Middle. sex, age 85; Judge O'Brien, of Prescott aud Russell, age 83; Judge Deacou, Renfrew, age 80; Judge Woods, of Kent county, age 84. Noue of the Su- perior Court Judges of tke Province ex- ceed the age of 70. In the bye-ebections for Ontario Leg- islature held in Sault Ste Marie and Muskoka on Tuesday leaves the stand- ing of the parties as they were at the close of the Legislature. The Ross Government has a majority of five with North Renfrew still vacant. Latest re- turns give Smith, Liberal, a majority of 120 in Sault Ste Marie, and Mahaffy, Conservative, a majority of 178 in Mus- koka. The long session of the Dominion Par- liament brought with it a most unusual incident, and that is the carrying out of the capital city not only the members of Parliament to their different homes, but two special trains of literature guarded by special officers of the Dominion Post Office Department. On Friday evening the first special arrived, made up of three of the largest mail coaches loaded with "printed matter." The second train left Ottawa Monday evening and like the first, was loaded with "literature." Ner's To be sure, you are growing old. But why let everybody see it, in your gray hair?

Miss Maud Davis,who has been spend - Jug the past eight weeks with her sister iu Toronto, returned home on Monday evening. What will go into Canadian history as' the long Parliament closed with the us- ual ceremonies Saturday morning. The House met at half -past ten in order to transact some routine business before receiving the message from the Senate. At eleven o'clock the Commons, mar- shalled by Black Rod, proceeded to the Senate chamber, when His Excellency gave his royal assent to the Acts passed by Parliament and delivered the speech from the throne. Parliament was in session for 226 days. A report published by the English Bureau. of Commerce, covering the rail- way accidents of the United Kingdom, shows that 1,171 persons were killed and 17,814 injured in 1902. Of every 9,211,- 002 passengers 1 was killed in 1902, against 1 in every 9,684,414 in 1901; 1 was injured of every 466,700 passengers in 1902, against 1 in every 546,511 in in 1901. The total mileage of the rail- ways of the United Kingdom at the close of 1902 was 22,152 miles. "One of the biggest blunders that the Conservatives party in Ontario has ever made," Hays the Hamilton Herald, Inde- pendent, "is its acceptance of Gamey at his own political yaluation and its ex- ploitation of him. He has been utilized as the chief Tory card at political gather- ings in the northern constituencies. He has received hearty Conservative indor- sation, and even leaders have stood sponsers for him. In the disclosure of the full extent of his infamy the Con- servative cause is therefore sure to suf- fer." For some years past the practice hae been very noticeable of some doubtless well-meaning but rather ill -fitted spec- tators of fires in Wingham of endeavor- ing to take out of the hands of the pro- per officers the work of directing the ac- tions of those who are entrusted. with the responsible work saving life and property from the devastating flames. There is no doubt that those who arro- gate to themselves this duty do so with only the noblest purpose in view, and it would be unfair to try to belittle the efforts of those who use their best en- deavors to save their neighbor's proper- ty from destruction. but it is becoming sadly apparent in Wingham that there are too many self-appointed. heads of the brigade in time of fire. The fire brigade has capable officers whose duties are to direct the work of the men under their charge, and it certainly is poor policy, as well as a detriment to the most efficient work, for any oue else to usurp the posi- tion of these officers. Let there be a thorough understanding of and miller - mice to the duties of the officers and men of the brigade, and a much-needed re- form in the fire department will no doubt be speedily brought about, CHURCH NOTES.

There were 78 loads, made up Of 1,223 head of cattle, 1,343 sheep, 1,279 hogs and 48 calves. Light stockers did not fare do well as the' henvt ier classes, but otherwise the features pleased most persons. Sheep and lambs went well. Hogs had a field day, with prices slightly upward. Miloh cows were rather scarce, and, as'a result, the demand exceeded the supply. This cir- cumstance, too, kept the tariff up. Although there was a large run of stick at the Union Stock Yards, Toronto Junction, this morning, business was comparatively dull, and trade was slack. Sales were very slow and but few of them were reported by the dealers. There were. 74 carloads of stock on the market, and about ten more were expect- ed hourly via the Grand Trunk. The run included 1,615 cattle, 243 sheep and lambs and 12 calves.
