The late Laurier government was in power when the matter came up. | The state of New York put through lan act incorporating the Long Sault | Development Company on May 23rd, 1907, and conferring the right to er- {ect dams, canals, power houses, etc., at Long Sault Island for the purpose of improving navigation and devel- oping electric energy. The St. Law- {rencé Power Company, a Canadian | concern, applied for similar rights {near the Long Sault Rapids. | Long Sault Island belonged to the { United States, being secured with { other islands in Cataraqui River (St. Lawrence) in exchange for Wolle Island opposite Kingston which the British naval officers wanted as a prevent the United States erecting | fortifications that would be a menace to naval vessels and to the city. The | right of the State of New York to | conter such rights was challenged on ithe ground that the waters of the St. | Lawrence, being navigable waters, | were really subject to federal juris- | diction and the whole question was, | therefore, an international one. Sub- | sequent legislation, notably the -pas- |sing of the Malby and Young bills, {conferring rights affecting the wa- {ters of the St. Lawrence, became the subject of consideration by the In- 4 ternational Waterways Commission |and public hearings were held by the ,Commission at Toronto on October | 27th, 1907, again in November 1908, |and Jaruary Sth and 9th, 1910. At | the last hearing 'the Canadian Com- | mission on Conservation strongly protested against the rroposal to ! grant the company permission to dam | the Long Sault. | The question of power develop- {ment was involved with problems of | navigation, and the use of the capals | located in Canadian territory which depended upon the uninterrupted {flow of the water, It, therefore, be- | came apparent that power develop- (ment on the rapids of the St. Law- rence must be made an international {project and the further this was ad- Wise buyers are making their selections early.

Nothing was done and he wants the citizens who view this matter as he does to help him put it through, bY NT Ques ented by the Dramatic Club. There was a splendid attendance at Grant Hall on Friday evening to witness "The Tragedy of Nan," put on by Queen's Dramatic Club, under the direction of Charles A. Gates. The play is a drama written by John Masefield, dealing with life among the common folk of the English countryside in 1810, The story deals with Nan Hard- wick, Miss Mary Gourlay, who is liv- ing with her aunt and uncle, who takes no pains to conceal the fact that she is very unwelcome. Her aunt is especially unkind to her when she finds that Her daughter Jenny's former sweetheart seems to prefer Nan. Miss Rheta Gray, as Mrs. Pargetter, the aunt, plays her part wonderfully well, displaying much talent, while Miss Gourlay in her emotional acting would do credit to the legitimate stage, Se, Alan L. Blacklock, as William Pargetter, the uncle, in the role of the tenant farmer, plays this part to perfection, and Grace Dunlop as Jen- ny Pargetter is excellent as the duti- ful daughter, Other characters are J. Wilfrid Sutherland, Hugh Gourlay, Robert G. Fry, Harold Spenceley, Margery Booth, Frances McCallum, J. D. Cash Mahafty, T. Hilliard Whol- ton and Maxwell T. MacFarland, all performing their parts exceedingly well, It is altogether a splendid pro- duction and Mr. Gates is to be con- gratulated on his achievement. The proceeds are in ald of Queen's mem- orial and Women's Residence, and the play will be repeated on Monday evening, December 5th. Things weré made lively during the intermissions by the students who sing the college songs. Pictures of the students, who are running for positions on the Alma Mater execu- tive, were thrown on the screen. t HOCKEY BOOTS, our price $7. $1.35 and $1.50 200 Pr.
