GIGANTIC SCHEME FOR CHEAP POWER Five Million Dollars Wil! be Spent on New Equipment. LISTOWEL WILL BE REACHED. One Tronk Line to Run From Seaforth to Goderich ; Another From Guelph to Owen Sound. --~o-- Toronto, Nov. 21--For the purpose of reporting to the Hydro. Electric Com- mission as to the cost of carrying the Hydro-Electric systsm to the extreme western, eastern and northern sections of the province, officials of the commis- sion started out yesterday to investigate the power possibilities in Huron, Grey, Bruce, and the Trent Canal districts. On New Year's day 28 municipalitics will vote on the question as to -- they will! enter into agreements the commission for «& supply of pt powe Power ill be developed on tbe Mait- land amtkSaugeen Rivers, and st least 25,000 horse-power will be available. As these rivers are practically dry dur- ing hot summer months, the system will be augmented by a loop attached to the | Niagara system, so that power will be available at all times of the year. New transformer stations will be erected at Guelph and Seaforth in order to aug- ment the supply frem the Maitland and Saugeen Rivers. If the western lines are built one will run from Seaforth to Goderich, Clinton, Bayfield, Hensall, Exeter, Zurich, Dashwood, Crediton, Elora, Fergus, Arthur, Mount Forest, Harriston, Palmerstcn, ! towel, Dor- ham, Shallow Lake, Owen Sound, Mea- ford, Thornbury, Wiarton and Colling- wood. From these two trunk lines branch lines will ran to every town and village in the district, so that every farmer in the community will be in a position to have cheap power delivered at cost. In the Trent Canal district all towns from Whitby to Cornwall will be served. More than 4,000 horse-power will be developed on the Trent Valley Canal, and onthe Ottawa River, at Chat's Falls, there is a possible development of 100,000 horse- power. When this gigantic scheme is com- pleted $5,000,000 will-be neceasary for equipment, and theré will not be one city, town or village in the older part of the province which will not be serv by the Whitney-Beck cheap power schemo. - CANADA'S CROPS FOR 1911, oO Ottawa, November 16.--The report to the Census and Statistics office for the month ending October 31 shows that the total area in potatoes, roots, fodder crops, hay and clover this year was 9,007,492 acres, with a total pro- ducts value of $219,055,000.
