The electric machinery in the power house, if not running at its capacity, could be used j= Pumping the water, and the coal » Which is now over $4500 per wil. would be wiped out.

Then there were five bars and two shops openly and vigorously competing for busidess here. Now {those who wish to obtain liquor have to send away to places where local op tion is pot in force. The remedy for this is not less local option, but more {peal option in those places which are 'not now fortunate enough to have it. There is no doubt that there is still some drinking among those who learned the habit under the license system, the drinking is less than it formerly was and the young men and boys are not actuiring the drink hab- under local option.

"Ton Says "For it's always fair weather, When good fellows get together The Randolph hotel was the scéne of a great gathering on Friday night, the occasion being the twelfth annual banquet of the Canadian Order Knights ot the Grip. The local Kuights of the Grip always have a fipe banquet, this was certainly the best ever. Upwards of one hundred and twenty sat down to 'the tables. 'ihe repast was all that could be desired, speeches which followed were ing with the menu. The Knights wes: honored with the presence of Hom Thomas W. Crothers, minister of la bor, who gave an able response to the toast of "Canada." Apart from the speeches thifte was an excellent programme and in addition, a fine character speech by John Plewes, which "brought down the house."

Crothers was then eall ed upon to respond to the toast {o "Canada," when the gathering sung "The Maple. Leaf." Mr, Crothers conveyed the regrets of the prime minister af being unable to accept the kind, invitation to be pres ent, and at the Same time, expressed the wish of the prime mihister, that the year 1912, be a most prosperous one, for all the members of the order. The speaker paid a warm tribute to the members of the order, stating that alertoees was charagteristic of their class, and pointed out that it was in the overcoming of difficulties that great men were made. We lived in an age of big hasiness, and we reanired big men to carry on the business. There was never a thne in the history of the world when there was sich a great demand for big men as at the present time. Touthing on the great labor ques tion, the speaker declared that. the only temedy for trouble between capi- tal amd labor, was for each sidé to take a keener interest im the welfare of each other.
