ELECTRIC RAILWAY On the twenty econd of October the Railways and Manufacturer's Committee of the (iuelph city council presented its report recommending the Council to memorialize the H/dro-Klectric Coin- iniuion to report on the feasibility of a railway from Gue'ph "poieilily to Arthur, connecting with Monnt Foreit and through the Ik-aver Valley to Menford or drifted down thii way and found it difficult to apologize for the dtiluy on ihn part of their Council. Among these were both Grit and Tory, and all had the name sad story to tell. We do not blame the Sun for attempt- ins; to set us, 'If square with the electors and otticialti of Owtn Sound. It has a task tiet out before it i h .1 is unenviable and difficult. We therefore cart the it antic of charity over itg Thornbury." This WAS made pottaible by the Hydro-Elec'ric IUilwy Act, 1913, which empowers the t'nmmiwiion to con- struct Huch lines. Accordingly ach municipality aicng thu proposed route has been communicated with anc) reiolu- tions in accord wilh the proposed line bare already been passed and f. rwardeu to the Coinmissiun l>y thu municipalities interested. The route is along that surveyed a few years ago for proposed electric road from (iuelph to Thornbury and Collingwood and for which a charier is held. The ' 'wen >. .im-l people, however, have been trying to switch thii liu to suit their convenience and the int -i. sN of ' >w<-n Sound, The county town news- papers have jumped into the schriuu hot foot and are alreidy talkinu almt the "proposed line from Guelph to Owen Sound"' although no such line has been proposed. Duili.im to Owen Sjund is now thtir slogan. I. .- week a resident of Guelph visited Owen Sound and put (he railway bug in the ear of the Owen Sound Board of Trade, with the result thit 'hat body is now busily engaged trying to divert everything their way. If Owen Sound wants electric railway connection with Guelph why not get after it independently wiihuiit itUmpt- iug to destroy the exmting proposal of a railway actoas Proton, ArtemeiU and through the Beaver Valley? a district that is badly in need of improved rail- way facilities if ever a district .- The Keaver Valley especially ntedi such a line, and the possible development in ha', fruit-growing kectii-n would Itself largely compensate for the building of, such a line. There : other indu>tri<K to be developed there, in.., that would build up a Urge railway traffic. Such a line would alio till a long frit wsnt in en ss country passenger traffic that a line 10 )wen Sound paralleling other at earn railways would nut rill. If Owen Sound wants another line fiom <he South let it fo uftr luch in- dependently and not attempt to destroy the clian- >. of other sections of the country that are in much greater netd of railway facilities than lh county town, which is fairly well supplied with C. P. R. and G. T. II. Let them quit playing hox for once and plant treei of their own, and cease trying to pluck f. uit from other people'* orchards. A DISGRACE An Knglidhraaii who has only been six months in this county was fined twenty <! II in by a Toronto ma^in'rate for not sending his small daughter to school. Whou brought before tin- J. P. the man explained that he was a pninter by tiado and had been unable to get work since coming to Canada six months ago. This made it necci-tary fir his wife to go out to service and his little giil was obliged to take care of the baby. As he was un- able to pay the Hue this man was sent to j-til- The boweli of compassion appear to be withered in that magistrate. The fact that some anonymoun good Samaritan paH the fine does not detract scything from the heinousneaa of this hardhearted act of juitice. Justice, forsooth ! Too if ten tyranny and oppression nowadays hides under the mantle of what is called justice, and this appeirs to be a case in point. If we are to welcome English ar- ti/.tna and workers a immigrants, they should not be met with such harsh inter- pretations of our laws ; if we are not in give them welcome let such informntiun bd disseminated at the fountain head. Persecution after arrival is n method for any self respecting country to pursue, even in the case of unde.--irables.to which class this man is n"t shi>wn to belong. HOTELMEN LIKE ROWELL POUCY The Walkerton Herald and Times charges that nearly evoiy hnt.*l man in Snuili Bruce voted the Giit ticket in the recent bye election in that, riding.

THE SUN AND HYDRO The Owen Sound Sun of last week devoted two precious columns of space to answering an editorial in this paper < f the week before entitled "A Council from Mitaouri."

Superintendent The popularity of Canadian Pacific ser- vice, and the eicellenee of that road's equipment, has been so greatly aprocint- 1 liy the travelling public that it has been found necessary to put into service an entirely new Through Standard Ex- press Train between Toronto and Winni- peg- Commencing Sunday, October 27th,lhe "Gate City Kxpres" will leaTe Toronto at 2.30 p. m., and will run daily there- after, arriving Winnipeg at 8.25 a. m. second morning. The train will con- iat of the highett-clasi modern equip- ment: Observation Compartment Car, Standard Sleeping Crs, Tourist Sleeping Car, Dining Car, Fitct-class Coach and Colonist Car. This will lie found the most convenient and the best train be- tween Toronto and Winnipeg on account of the daylight departure from Toronto at an hour when the I'uion Station is not badly congested, and also on accoun 1 of the early hour of arrival at Winnipeg. The present "Vancouver Exprest" will continue to leave Toronto at 10.20 p..m. daily and will consist of me sime equip ment as the "Gate City Exprem." This tiam is the best to take for points west of Winnipeg, but for Winnipeg and east the "Gate City Expreas" is the right train to travel by.
