Sixty Present At Methodist Banquet REPORTS INCLUDE VERY EN- COURAGING ONE FROM YOUNG PEOPLE'S ORGANIZATION. On Wednesday -evening, the Meth- odists held a banquet and their _an- nual meeting in the basement of the church. Notwithstanding the bad condition of the roads, about, sixty partook of the sumptuous spread provided by the ladies of the Wom- ens’ Missionary Society. The program ag) ey of a sing- ome. led by Mrs. Snell, and reports by the various organizations connect- ed with the church. This . was fol- lowed by general discuss Of special‘ interest was the ‘account of the Young People’s League, giv- en by. the president, and showing a reat increase in attendance and in- terest. Portions of the “League Bul- letin,”” the new monthly paper, were ‘read. A letter from Vancouver, from Dr. Turnbull, a former League worker, conveyed greetings and best wishes. The minutes of one ‘ of the eague meetings of twenty-five years ago were read and many in- arene memories were recalled to those present at that time. Mock Council Chooses The Town Officials There was a good attendance at the meeting of the Young People’s League in the Methodist church Monday eveninggand the program Was very interesting. Two features: were the reading of the ° “League Bulletin” by Mrs. A. M. Robinson, and the inaugural meeting mock trial. Those elected took the declaration of office and the appoint- ment of officidls was the main item of business. These were named follows: clerk, Mr. E. G. Coghlin; A million ‘dollar hydro-electric plant is betsy bullt to supply light and power to towns of New Glasgow Btellarton, Westville, Trenton and Evetog in Pictou County, Nova Sco- The power is to be. developed at Walay Falls on Shreet Harbor Riv- er and brought. across the province by transmission line, a distance of fifty-three miles. The Presi will deliver about 10,000,000 k. h. annually. The pictures show the falle from which the power will be developed, taken from the crest of the cataract; a general view of the main” dam, tak en in winter time; a closer view of the power house under construction.

Conservatively work- ed out Canada has known sources of electrical energy which could be de- pended upon to develop a minimum of 18,255,000 horse power at the all the year round, or 382,076,000 horse power for six months of the year, on a basis of eighty per cent. effic- jency, and it is said that the latter figures could’ be increased thirty per cent. in actual development. Few countries can approach Canada’s superb distribution of fresh water bodies. Canada today posgetses 2,- 973,000 operating horse power and over 21,000 mfles of itidistaston and distribution systems from Nova Scotia to Yukon. The total hydrau- lic instalation for the Dominion av- erages 338 horse power per thous- and population, as compared with 100 herse power per thousand popu- lation, the United States. The cap- ital invested in hydro-electric power in Canada totals $620,000,000.

This is just one striking in- stance of how electrical development means increased industrial expan- sion and prosperity ;for Canada.
