Seattle, Dec. 4.-â€"The Government of Canada will construct a building at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition \o be held in Seattle, June 1, to Octob- er 16,1909, inclusive, covering a space of 300 by 150 feet Wm. Hutchinson, Canadian Exhi- bition Commissioner, who is now in London, has been notified by the Can- adian Government to leave for Se- attle as soon as possible to select the site and make arrangements for the construction of the building. It has been definitely know for some time that the Government of Canada would participate in the big fair, but this is the first official information regard- ing the scope of the plans. In a letter to President J. E. Chil- berg, Commissioner Hutchison states that it will not be possible for him to leave London before January 1, and requests the exposition management to select a site that would be best available for Canada. He also re- quests ground plans of the exposition in order that the outline of the build- ing-may be worked out before his ar- rival in Seattle. The announcement that the Govern- ment of Canada will be~represente-i on such a large scale as the size of the site desired indicates, has arous- ed general interest throughout the State of Washington. It is apparent- ly the intention to make a complete exhibit of all the varied resources of Canada and the building will also house the display from the Yukon Ter- ritory. The space which it is propos- ed to cover will be the largest occu- pied by any one building on we grounds. The mild climatic conditions of the Puget Sound countryâ€"Seattle never suffers from extremes in heat or cold -â€"makes it possible to construct build- ings in the winter without any great difficulties and the Canadian Govern- ment will have no trouble in complet- ing its exhibit palace two months in advance of the opening of the fair if There are three available sites that may be used for the Canadian build- ing. One is located adjoining Machin- ery Hall on one side and the Forestry Building on the other, and overlook- ring Lake Washington. Another is a large tract next to the California State Building, and also overlooking Lake Washington, and the third is below a . .‘ , .____A_ n-‘A â€"...__"_.v the geyser basin and at the lower end of the string of the main exhibit pal- aces, overlooking both Lake Washing- to and Lake Union. .

About sixteen years ago an elderly lady named Mrs. Chauncey Bolton wand- ered away from her home at North Augusta and was never found.

This was s ease in which Mary E. Wessels, of the Township of Lutler- worth sued Daniel Gillespie for tim- ber sold by her to Gillespie. and also for trespass done by Gillespie in cut- ting a great deal more timber than he had purchased. Gillespie said he did not purchase the timber at all but that the timber had been purchased by Michael Mansfield, of Kinmount, and that Mansfield should have been sued tun-nu â€"â€"â€"â€"_ - and not him: The jury found for the plaintiff for the sum of $59.87, which A. __ ALA :guo‘a, ‘15....” -vâ€" -â€" was just 14 oextte less than the juris- diction of the County Court. The de- fendant. therefore. claimed that costs lCuuna-w, u...“ --- V _ , should be awarded only upon the Di- i vision Court scale. The plaintifl, how- ever, claimed that standing timber was such an interest in land as brought the case within the jurisdic- tion of the County Court. as no action can be tried in the Division Court wherein the title to any land of any interest therein comes in question. As the costs in the matter amounted to four or five times the verdict this, of course, was the important point to be decided. His honor Judge McMillan referred the matter to Mr. D. R.

Mr. Anderson, after a great deal of consideration and after several arguments found that '- - - m. _...- “titled to costs on after several arguments lounu m... the plaintifi was entitled to costs on the County Court scale.

Dear Binâ€"Some days ago I called the attention of your readers to the} injustice meted out to some of the us- ers of electric power in this town. It was not to be expected that the Com- pany would seek to defend themselves, for like monopolists, from John D. Rockefeller down. they probably be lieve that the least they say is the better plan for them to follow. It may be astute in a large corporation serving a large territory, to keep Lindsay. In fact. if the omcers of theL.H.P.Co.werehalfasasâ€" tute as they are handsome, they would get their heads together and smooth out the incongruities that exist in their relations with their tommen. and do it quick, for I can assure them that there is a smouldering fire of discontent awaiting a chance to break out.

I have no kick par- ticularly to make against either the treatment accorded to me by the Com- pany, or the charges I have to pay, although I will say this, that in Tor- onto I paid no more for gas. which} included light and heat for a cooking range. than I pay here for light alone. I do, however, want to protest against the practically prohibitory tariff they place on manufacturers. especially small manufacturers coming to Lind- aay. At the station at Orillia is a large sign painted “Electric Power 816.00 ‘per 81'." and anyone can have one h.p. or one hundred h.p. at the same ‘ ‘3-â€" -â€" ‘Mydna n-or. 'â€" -7 figure. It, is astonishing in looking at the statistics of our Canadian man utsctures. how many small ones there are using from 10 h.p. down. In tact, like in everythinz else. the small ones really aggregate s lsrger number of h.p. then to those who use large quan- tities of power. Lindsay is no doubt built up in the same way. How does our price compare with Orillis ? We pay $45.00 per h.p. for one or two h. p. with a slight shaving ofi as you go r. _____ up.

Now if the Company was on its up- pers there would be some excuse for high charges, although it has been proved scores of times, that in a - growing place like Lindsay, a re- duction in price of any commodity usually means a larger profit, but on the other hand this Company not. only pays good dividends, but. throws vâ€"' in a handsome bonus occasionally. end even then the profits accumulate so quickly that in desperation. the lust bonus was in the form of a. stock on that “water."
