Washington Correspondent Gives Some Luminous Figures Showing What Port Arthur Is Doing to Make Pub- lic Ownership a Success--Mayor Ex- pects to See Day When Citizens Will Get Profits In Individual Cheques. With what emotions would a pro- perty holder receive an official state- ment from the assessor's office that he would not be required to pay taxes thereafter? asks a correspondent of The Washington Star writing from Port Arthur, Canada. And the same citizen would probably mot survive the shock of later being requested to call at the district building to receive a cheque as his share of the profits of the Municipal Government. This state of affairs is about to be realized in Port Arthur. Every stranger who drops into this hospitable little city at the head of Lake Superior, on the Canadian side, Is forced to become familiar with the town's method and manner of doing business before he can make any sort of headway at all in any other direc- tion. He may not be interested, but that matters not a whit. He must lis- ten! Every citizen of the town is load- ed to the guards with information about municipal ownership and carries around with him the last quarterly statement of the railway and light commission. He knows to a cent just how much pro- fit there was in the operation of the waterworks and can tell you to a mill the profits of the last quarter from the telephone system. Incidentally he will explain between grins and chortles that the rival town of Fort Willlam, six miles away, is helping to pay the taxes due on Port Arthur's real estate, because the street rallroad which connects the two towns of approximately the same population is owned by the municipality of Port Arthur. Therefore, when a Fort William resident pays five cents to the street car conductor he contributes a mite to every individual taxpayer in the rival town. That fact seems to tickle the Port Arthurians to death. If you are with a Port Arthur resident for half an hour and he doesn't mention the above conditions thirteen times It is considered remarkable by the natives, Cheap 'Phones. Although the street raifroad doesn't give the citizens any reduction In car tickets which other cities do not en- joy. the telephone service is much cheaper. The enthuslastic advocate of municipal ownership in this tewn-- and every citizen is in this class--will not forget to explain that the Bell Co. used to charge $36 a year for a business telephone which is now sup- plied for $24, and that a residence tele- phone now costs only $12 a year. * He knows, too, that Port Arthur is the only town on the American continent which owns and operates all of its utilities, and is very fond of explaining how all this came about. The most conspicuous citizen of this town is a member of the railway and light commission. The membership of the commission Is restricted to three, and one member is elected each year. It is by far a greater honor to be a member of the commission than It is to be a mayor or alderman. As mem- ber of the board the citizen who has been so honored by the municipality must serve without pay. Nobody rides on passes in this town, and perhaps that is one of the reasons why municipal ownership is possible; but there are even better reasons than that, for the falls of the Current River are almost in the city itself, and all the power necessary for electrical operation of any kind, including manu- facturing, is supplied by this kindly and convenient stream. The city has appropriated everything and the manufacturer must do business with It, but the terms are easy and no one seems to have a kicg Serve Without Pay. The controlling officials, serving with- out pay, saves all of the salaries which go to eat up the prrfits of pablic utili- ties elsewhere, and because of these and other reasons one would hardly be Justified in pointing to this town of 10,000 people as proof positive that municipal ownership is justifiable in all American cities, One-half of the taxes of Port Arthur are paid from the revenues derived from its waterworks, lighting plant, street railway and telephone. The total investment by the municipality was $150,000, and last year the net Income was $38,000. Of course it would be im- possible to continue these proportional figures if the city should grow to a larger population, and it would be like- wise Impossible in a city where mil- lions were involved to have the officials devote their entire time to enterprises without compensation. Just now the members of the railway and light com- mission meet only after business hours and perhaps not oftener than twide a week. Port Arthur and Fort Willlam are the lake shipping points for the west- ern Canada wheat belt. Each has a magnificent harbor and gigantic eleva- tors. Port Arthur apd the Canadian Pacific Rallway have been for years and are now at war with each other. If there had never been a. quarrel be- tween the two there would never have been a story to tell about municipal ownership under a Port Arthur date line. \ Both at Fault, Disinterested persons say that both the town and the road.were at fault and that a hot-headed and chesty per. son of importance to each made their differences grow and finally become Ir- reconcilable. Port Arthur concluded that the railway was trying to dodge the payment of taxes on property the title to which was under dispute, and a very seif-assertive mayor caused a passenger train to be attached and held ---like the elephant of the bankrupt elr- cus--until payment was enforced. This little courtesy naturally made the Cana- dian Pacific Railroad officials feel kind- ly toward Port Arthur. Sir William Van Horne, president of the Canadian Pacific, is pretty quick en the trigger anyhow, and his wrath on this particular occasion was something wonderful to see. After the power of speech had returned Sir William 1s re- CHOICE BACON Sliced to Suit AT MYERS' ported to have waved his carefully maintained Smithfield over his head and declared that bo would "make the grass grow In the streets of Port Ar- thur" The development of the rival town of Fart Willlam began with a rush, and for & while it looked very much as if Sir William would make his threat good. But the good folks of Port Arthur are not of the Micawber family. They be- gan to sit up and take notice, They had 'a harbor, an ideal location for a city and a splendid waterfall just outside the city limits. If the railroad would not bring its tracks to Port Arthur they were determined to make .their town getatable by means of an electric rall- way, and so the municipal ownership proposition had its inception. From the very beginning the system was enough of a success to demonstrate that ulti- mately it would be a pronounced suc- cess, and the story which tells the tale most eloquently is the statement of in- come and expenditures issued by the corporation of the Town of Port Arthur, It shows that from the street railroads the gross income was last year $42,000, the cost of administration $2,800 and the profit $10,180; from the electric light- ing plant the same relative figures were $36,228, $2,100 and $11,840, and from the telephone system $8571, $1,100 and $2,301. { The given under "cost of 'ad- ministration" include the salary for superintendence and the clerical staff required for the operation of these in- dustries. The street railroad is carry- ing charges on some $156,000 worth of bonds. Of these $12,000 were devoted to improvement of the Current River. The lighting and telephone systems are bonded proportionately. The Mayor of Port Arthur revelwed the figures for me and remarked. "I expect to see the day when the property-owner of this town will walk up to the auditor's officé and receive a cheque as his proportional share of the profits from the operation of our public utilities." LITTLE DEED OF KINDNESS. How Two Brokers' Clerks Helped a Boy With Sore Foot. An example of real human kindness and true philanthropy was witnessed on Colborne street, near Yonge, on Tues- day when a barefooted seven-year-old newsboy crippling along calling his wares between sobs was stopped by John Flannery, a clerk In the employ of Lorne Campbell & Co., says The To- ronto World. Mr. Flannery, noticing the little fellow suffering and sobbing, coaxed him into Wm. Watt's office at No. 8 Colborne street, where the super- fluous dirt was washed from the lad's foot and the head of a big rusty pin re- vealed to view. The ball of the foot was swollen and inflamed and the news- boy pleaded with them not to touch it. "It's too eore, mister, don't touch it, will you?" Gently soothing the foot with the fingers Flahnery worked closer and closer to the ugly pin till soon he got his fingers in position to grasp it In a clinch, then, with a quick hard jerk he extracted the Inch and a quarter poisonous sting much llke a dentist pulling a four pronged molar, The little fellow let a shriek of pain escape him, and then a stream of blood spurt- ed out. carrying with it much of the fast forming pus. The two men then bathed the wound. and Mr. Watt tied his handkerchief around the boy's foot gave him some money and directed him to a drug store with a note for an anti- septic to apply to the aMicted part. "But I has to sell my papahs," sobbad the lad "Go and get this first and then you can sell your papers," urged the two young men. "All right, "it feels better mow. Tanks, mister." And the little fellow brushed the tear-stained face with his dirty hand, rose, and hobbled off with only the heel of the injured foot touching the ground. And in his puerile mind there was then and theve implanted a'gratitude which in itself will beget pity and true char- ity for those in distress with whom this young man meets in years to come. Here in a simple form was the milk of hu- man kindness imbued into the heart of a boy in a manner that can never be forgotten, and the kindly acts of the two young men will surely be recorded on the pages of their souls' history, Would Change the Name. The people of Western New Ontario, not satisfied with having transformed Rat Portage Into Kenora, now want to change the name of Rainy River to the Queen River. As a matter of fact that was the stream's original name. The: intrepid French explorer, who first penetrated' the wilderness in that sec- tion, called the stream "La Riviere Reine." That, in course of time, was Anglicized into River Rainy, and so in- to Rainy River. It Is claimed that the present name gives a false impression to the outside world, in that the district is more apt to be associated with the raising of umbrellas than with the rais- ing of crops. As a matter of fact the rainfall along the Rainy is less consid. erable than in many other parts of the province, and that a crop fallure has never been known In this district is the best evidence of the kind of weather |. that is served out there. The death rate, too, I8 one of the Jowest in the whole country. But these facts are not known, owing to the: desultory manner In which the Ontario Government has ad- vertised the district. The changing of the name is a question which could well be taker up on this side of the river (says The Fort Frances Times), and then if the legislators at Toronto could be induced to do some real advertising in spreading the simple facts concern- ing the district, a wonderful change would soon take place, Didn't Know Montreal. A lady applied the other day for tickets for the Royal Enclosure at Ascot for self, daughters and {for a Miss "X." of Montreal. She received tickets for herself and daughters, with a communication that Miss "X."" of Montreal, should apply for a ticket through the' American' ambassador. The only parallel The London Globe could think of to this grip of geo- graphy on the part of the Powers that Be was the reply of the celebrated Duke of Newcastle, who, on being in- formed that Newfoundland was an is- land, shook hands warmly with his in- formant, and said, "Thank you, thank you. You always bring us good news." Charles Diamond, eabman, has a telephgne at his residence, 211 Mont- tedl.. street.

That Turf Story and Project Ror Dis. posal of Balmoral, Two pleces of news, writes the Marquise de Fontenoy, concerning King Edward are likely to prove of in- terest. The one is the issue of a denial by his private secretary, Lord Knollys, of the story widely printed to the effact that he was about to retire from the turf. Lord Knollys' letter is dated from Buckingham Palace, July 14. I men- tioned, a couple of weeks ago, in call. ing attention to the new policy inaug- urated by the jockey club at its recent meeting, that the King's success in at length defeating the reactionary ele ment of the club would be likely to modify any Intention he may have en- tertained at one moment of withdraw- ing from the turf, intentions that have been widely discussed in the press, both at home and abroad. The prediction, therefore, contained in this 1 has been fulfilled. The other bit of news about the King is his project to turn over Bal- moral to the Prince of Wales. The Iat- ter is fond of Balmoral, and frequently visits it for the sake of salmon fish- ing, which is excellent there. More- over, the climate agrees with him, and with his wife and children, quite as much as it did with the late Queen Victoria. On the other hand, the cli- mate does not suit the health either of the King or of the present queen, When Queen Alexandra goes to Scotland she usually stays, not at Balmoral, but at Mar lodge, with the Duke and Duchess of Fife, which to her is much more con= genlal and comfortable. King Edward finds Balmoral not only bleak and damp, but, above all, gloomy and lonely, and now that he can no longer indulge in the fatiguing deerstalking expeditions of which he was formerly so fond, time hangs rather heavily on his hands at Balmoral, and he remains there for as short a time as possible. In fact, I do not suppose he has lived there more than three weeks in the year since he has been on the throne. He prefers Sandringham, Windsor, London, and places abroad. Moreover, the family of the Prince and Princess of Wales has now become too numerous for Abergeldie Castle, the Highland home which was put at their disposal at the timo of their marriage. They need a bigger estnb- lishment, and as King Edward cannot, Balmoral, or transfer it to the Govern- ment, as he did in the case of Oshorne (now used as a convalescent home for naval and military officers, and as a IS MOST CONVENIENT | For Lighting Fires We can furnish you with one bushel or one. thousand bushels--price according to quantity.

Figures of Speech. At a literary club, some novelists and poets discussed figures of speech. "A striking figure of speech," sald a sonneteer, "came from the pen of an amateur, the pen of Gordon Cumming, the rich English explorer. Gordon Cumming described a tropleal jungle as 'a forest of fishhooks, relieved by an occasional patch of penknives.'
