The investiga- tion extended over two years, and shows that there are 1,016,521 horse- power developed from water falls or currents. Every phase of the subject from the laws governing the (lisp-ME.- tion of water powers in the vat-ions provinces, to the actual physical data regarding each individual water env- et. is treated in the report. In addi- tion, there is a very full bibliogmphy of thirty pages, and appendic-s, giv- ing the text of the laws concerning the export of power and the treaty recently concluded with the United States regarding the International Joint Commission.

ORDINATIONS AT Ada-m Peterboro, Jan. 12 - Impressive ceremony of the ordination into the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church of Deacons A. J. Staley and W. A. Egan, of Toronto took place this morning, with Bishop O'Connor officiating, assisted by Rev. De. Kidd administrator of the archdiocese of Toronto, who also preached the or- dination sermon. Relatives of the two candidates were present besides the Roman Catholic clergy of the city and neighborhood. The ordination took place here be- cause of the vacant Archbishopric of Toronto. A special dispensation from Rome was necessary. LOCAL FIRE OF A SUSPICIOUS NATURE The Post was informed today that a fire was detected in a well-known hostelry on Thursday, which the pro- prietor believes was of a. very anspicâ€" ious origin, and has his reasons for thinking so. Had the blaze got sumc- ient headway a serious confisgration would have resulted. It appears from the information at hand that the wife of the proprietor detected smoke issuing from cue ot the clothes closets in an upper apart- ments of the house, and on making JOSEPH PARKIN an investigation found the interior on fire- The blaze had started among the clothes and was making great head- way when discovered. Assistance was quickly summcmed, and the fire put out. It is understood that the con- tents of the closet were destroyed. It is understood that the manage- rnent of the house base their suspi- ion on the fact that a domestic re- cently received her 'dismissall but net before an animated argument took place between that individual and the lady of the house. Montreal, Jan. 10.â€"As a. result. of The house, office and contents were totally destroyed and Mr. Parkin, it is understood, will be a. heavy loser.

His let- ter is an interesting one. It is . as follows: Some time ago I read your com- ment on the supposed stagnation of the hockey spirit in Lindsay, but no- ticed your qualification in yesterday's edition. As you state, Lindsay grows hocâ€" key players, and good ones, they having contributed no less than 16 to the professional ranks in the last ten years. TheyI coached a bunch of youngsters alang who were runners- up for the junior championship four years ago, and the following year won the intermediate championship with almost the same aggregation, who, to my mind, were the greatest amateur team ever. They had all the assets necessary for a strong teamâ€" cool heads, speed, combination and gamcness. Their goal, not the best in the business, was a shade over the average. Koyle, the big point. was declared by different referees to be faster in his position than any man in Canada, not excluding profession- als. Sullivan, a veritable stonewall at cover, Cote, Randau and Bloomâ€" field on the forward line, with Cap- tain Stoddart as rover, completed ‘ what I called the best that ever play- ed amateur. Knowing Lindsay for some years, and being interested in a humble way for some years in the hockey circles of that town, I thought it would be in order for me to write a few :Lnes concerning the same. That year, I ieel confident, after watching St. Michael's, senior cham- pions in a few games, that they were much behind, in many respects, the Lindsay team. and would have been defeated it they had consented to play a post series, which they refus- ed. It certainly was great to watch how easy it was to beat Stratford in the finals. They were never in the running at any stage. The Lindsay people were greatly enthused over their team, and justly so, and the citizens gave the boys the support they deserved. But the following summer brought many changes. The goal tender went to Edmonton, Koyle went to Saskatoon Sullivan to Kenora, Randall turned professional, and Pete and Jack Spratt attended St. Michael’s Col- lege, thus leaving us to defend the title with Billy Stoddartâ€"not in the best of healthâ€"Reg.
