Back of the dam there is eight square miles of mill pond. Xa- ture has also provided the raceway in Perry's Gorge. the property of the company. and practically speaking all there is. to do is to build a pow- er house, instal the dynamos and transmit the power. A branch from the' main line of transmission could be run to Lindsay from a point near Omemee. The days of the mill by the,creek are past, now we can have the mill on‘the mountain, the wires carrying the power. The develop- ment of electricity has ushered in an era of simplicity in furnishing power and make it possible to have the best facilities at much cheaper Cost than by the old methods. the work i “You men that have sat in the town councils,"' said Mr. Ewing, “have often received letters from concerns asking what the town has to offer them in the way of induceâ€" ments. and for lack of substantial facilities, such letters have been sim- ply received and fried. Cobourg was in=this position for a long time. But in September last We heard of Cul- verwell. He came to Cobourg and began talking of power. His mania is powers. ‘We found out through him that Neely Falls possessed great possibilities. Some of the capital- ists, including Mr. Crossen and Mr. Donnelly, saw it. and said it ought to develop {mm live to ten thousand horse power. This was the salva- tion of our town." and he next went on to tell the story of how the site was secured and the project carried to success, and of the enthusiastic de- mand for power in the towns sup- plied from Healy Falls. the promoters and several interested citizens it was suggested that this meeting should be arranged so that members of the council and board of trade might hear the proposition presented and fully explained. and thus he in a position'to take any action which might seem advisable.

Mr. Beal wanted a more definite answer to the question asked by Mr. Carew, and an effort was made by Messrs.

The British E pine Company, Lim- ited, is an old-established firm, and one that. has proepered exceedingly. It built up its fortunes when its trade was practically a monopoly, but now the dividends are dwindling and its employees being discharged because of the more modern and ei- iective methods of many rivals. So the shoreholders have been called to- gether that the financial situation my be discussed. cu. ., AL, ddcide,"and Ir. Austen Chamberlain urges them to do gomthilg._ Mr. Austen Chamberlain,' indeed, has a presence that, inspires confi- dence. If he were a lawyer, one c mm o to him cheerfully with the worst. egal tangle in the world; if he were a surgeon one could submit oneself to his hands and go to the operating table with a quiet mind. As it. is. Mr. Chamberlain is a bus- iness man, and one feels that he can be trusted to look after the interests of the. British Empire Company, Lim- ited. Bwtjhe head that is set strenuousâ€" ly forward in the high collar is a strong and capable head. The wide- opcned eyes are of a perching blue. the clean cut forehead and nose speak of domination; thecarefully moulded lips are closed in a bold, full-blooded line. the resolute chin protrudes at the end of the powerful jaw, and the bands at the end of the large cufls are strong. capable hands with emphatic fingers and determined thumbs. ' Next Mr. Austen Chandra; rlain picks up a pen and satisfies himself that it will write should he need it. Then he places a bundle of papers secured by a rubbar strap squarely before him and sits down stifliy. the‘ persona itication of a young and energetic di- rector of the British Empire Com- pany, Limited. One thing that. perhaps militiatos against “Mr. Austen” is the extreme ydubhfuluess of his appearance. Just; as Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, with his tale of seventy years looks about forty-five, so do” Mr. Austen Cham- berlain, at the age of fortytwo, look well on the sunny side of thirty. Mr. Austen Charmerlain is due at eight o'clock. 0n the last stroke of the hour he enters, precise, brisk. and business-like. He acknowledges the mild applause in a formal way and immediately takes out his busiâ€" ness-lonking gold watch and sets it down face upward in front of him. He glances at‘it and his lips move almost imperceptibly. He seems to be making' a mental note that time is money. When Mr. Au men Chamberlain faces an gudiencc i9“ st erchostorshire he does not addmss them in the man- ner of a politician oxrm-rising his wiles on the electorate Mr. Austen Chamberlain is simply a business man speaking to business I'm-n on the question of pounds, shillings and pence. All the circumstances of the times and the place make for this idea. 0n neatly arranged rows of chairs sit quiet men. obviously there for business purposes rather than for exâ€" citement. Opposite them, across the width of the room, is a long table. tidil} set out with inkpots. pans and paper.
