Searching for ) Canada has fallen short of the oxpectationy of at least one Am- orican tourist and his wife, Their dreams of finding Indians In war paint and fouthers, wigwams with smoke curling skyward, papooses on the backs of stout squaws, birch bark canoes and gil the other evidences of a pleturesqueo, If some what dangerous fronties lifo have been rudely shattered.

Perry, would completely shatter the fond {llusion of this tourist pair.

CITY SCALES IN OPERATION The city weighing scales are now open for business under the dir. ection of Ted Colvin, The old scales were run from the Police Station up till this spring. Since then the scales have been torn out and moved west of the station and A new scale house built, The re- moval of the old scales necessitated considerable labor In tearing up the old base and laying down a new sidewalk level with the Foad way. The new scales are a great improve. ment to the street as they remove the weighing operations fram the vicinity of the Fire Hall and the Police _ Station, allowing more room for the transaction of busi- ness in the Station House in which the acale machinery was housed.
