This Board supervises all municipal bond issues, and its stamp of approv- al means much to the individual mu- nicipality in floating debenture issues. The Saskatchewan government is the first in Canada to take this very im- portant step.

Uxhridge Journal: On Wednesday, of last week, Jam'es Reid, of town, died from tuberCulosis. Deceased had been in ili health for about three years, and for several months pre- vious to his death was unable tobe around. He was fifty-three years and nine months old. About forty years ago he came to Uxbridge, where he continued to reside until his. death. He was a carpenter by trade and was considered one of the best me- chanics in‘ town. In sports he took a grea t interest and fleas always looked up to for his cleaTn sports- m'anlike qualities. Baseball was one of his favorite pastimes, and many‘ of the basebai! enthusiasts have ’r-s'a, mm‘ories of some of the great Mr. J. Staples was less fortunate, for he was in the building when the boiler exploded. With him was his son and nephew. He regards his es- cape as nothing short of a miracle. So powerful was the force of the ex- plosion that two of Mr. Pepper’s hor- ses were driven right out through the roof into the mainlbody of Ho- wick Pavilion. The flames which broke out shortly after the explosion, threatened to consume the wreckage, but were quickly subdued by the fire department. DECEASED WAS WELL KNOWN HERE Among those who barely escaped with their lives in the catastro were Mr. James Baptie of Spring- ville, and Mr. Joseph Staples and son of Gavan. Mr. Baptie returned home Thursday morning. In conver- sation with a reporter, Mr. Baptie states that he was on the scene t°n, minutes after the explosion which wrecked the building. - Other losers were '1‘. W. Rodden, of Montreal, five horses, valued at aâ€" bout $17,000, including Blue Mouse, winner of the first prize in the cham- pion saddle class at the New York Live Stock Show a few weeks ago. About twenty-five horses, valued at approximately $65,000, were killed and many others injured. They rang- ed in value from $300 to $5,009. The heaviest laser was George Pepper, of Toronto, who lost eight horses, valuâ€" ed at about $30,000. Examination of the wrecked boiler by experts leads to the belief that it was empty and practically red hot when the explosion -was caused by an inrush of cold water. The engineers in charge deny that such was the case, claiming the boiler was half full of‘ water, and carried only 20 pounds of steam. A rigid investigation has been ordered. Mr. James Casey, of Valentia, ar- rived in town this morning from at- tending the Ottawa Winter Fair and in conversation with the Post told of scenes and incidents in connection with the terrible explosion in the Howick building on Wednesday. Mr. Casey was at breakfast in the hotel when the explosion occurr but visited the spot immediately at- terwards. The scene presented was one, which he declares, .will live‘for- ever in his memory.

The barn was totally destroyed, as were also a few fowl belonging to Mr. J. Warren. The firemen did excellent work in keeping the fire from spread- ing beyond the building.

During the year 200 fires were re- ported as having started within 300 feet of railway tracks, and 164 were credited to train's. A total of 25,148 acres were burned over, entailing a loss of $88,480. ORILUA’S SCHOOL Ottawa, Jan. 23.â€"'I‘he Dominion Railway Commission report for the fiscal year ending March 31 last, sta- tes that 643 persons were killed on the railways of whom 230 were tree- passers, 21 passengers (of whom 15 met death in trying to leave or board trains while in motion), and 303 were employee. The injured numbered 2,231, of whom 410 were passengers (75 being hurt from preventibfe caus- es). BARN BURNED Mr. P H. Spies, well known in Lindsay, yesterday received a letter from the firm he organized in Deâ€" troit, offering him $25,000 for his in- lterests in the United States patents for the water wheel he invented. This water wheel ie desing to de- lvelop power without the need of a head of water or dam. This whee‘, or rather a toy model of it, was seen in operation a few days ago at the Quaker Oats plant, Peterboro. The wheel made of iron was Labout twenty inches in diameter. Within the inn-er disk are three perpendicular flanges or sheets on one semi-circle of the wheel. The other concave half of the wheel is left vacant. The wheel is placed perpendicular in the river. The current acting on the flanges drives the wheel around. A scribe took a ten foot long gas pipe and used it, with its further end in the bottom of the river, to get lever- age and tried to stop the little toy wheel by using the pins as a brake. He could not, however, make any ef- fect even when using all his strength on the toy’wheel. Mr. Spies hashad awheel 25 feet in diameter madeat Wilson’s machine shop, Peterboro. It would seem that this big wheel may revolutionize the whole power condi- tions of our Canadian rivers. The big wheel will soon be used here for demonstration purposes and after- wards shipped to the Detroit Tur- bine Mfg Co., Ltd.
