In a few minutes the intrepid Frenchman was tripping up the rope and on to Can- adian soil. Next year, when the Prince of Wales visited Canada, Blondin far outdid these feats. He carried a man across the Niagara gorge on his back, then wheeled him across on a wheelbarrow, and even performed the incredible feat of walking the entire 1100 feet of tight rape over that awful gulf on stilts. En route thus. Blondin suddenly slipped, catching himself by his thigh. The crowd gasped, though some said the slip was merely a stunt. The young prince was among the spectators and Blondin offered to carry him across on his back, and refund the spectators’ money '11 he let the heir to the Brit- ish throne dr0p in the river.

Last week a team of horses belong- ing to Mr. Les Chard fell through the ice on the hydro pond and were drawn- ed. Mr. Bert Magee, who lives on the east side of the pond, took his team to help draw the others out, but they also fell through the ice. Mr. Magee’s collie dog accompanied his mastet and when the second team fell into the water the Mr Foester knew something was wrong, and running followed the dog. but when Harry slowed to a walk the dog evidently thought he was not going fast enough and got behind him, push- ing on his legs with his muzzle. Mr. Foester finally brought up where the trouble was and assisted in getting the water.

Hon. Mr. McCrea linked the activi- tiee of the Bitton interests, in their ei- iorttosecure theGeorcianBayCanal Charter. and in their resolutions passed by the Liberal Convention, with those of M. F. Hepburn, Provincial Liberal Leader, in combined eflorts to destroy and undermine Hydro tor the interests‘ of private power barons. He showed that Quebec is losing industriee to On- tario, because at the low power costs now served in this province. Liberals oi the province, he said, were shocked to learn of the importance of the Bit-- ton-Hepburn resolution that was ap» proved by the Liberal convention last year, in which the power users of On- tario would have to pay the cost of canalization of the St. Lawrence de- velopment. W. E. N. Sinclair, Opposition Leader, stated that while the resolution was passed by the convention it is not a part of the Liberal platform formed at the convention, which intimation places Mr. Sinclair as opposed to the Sifton “So far as the Conservative party is concerned," said Hon. Mr. McCrea. “such a policy as that of Sifton and Hepburn will never be undertaken in this province. Which are we to choose? The policy of F. A. Gaby, chief engin-J eer of the Hydro Commission, and his engineers trained by Sir Adam Beck or the policy of this man who tried to sell power to Hydro for $19 a horse- power, when the general rate is $15.” “I challenge Mr. Sifton to deny the evidence he gave at the hearing on his application for the renewal of the Georgian Bay Canal charter," he con- tinued. “I challenge him to deny the effect of the resolution he put through the Liberal Convention. Mr. Hepburn needs watching, then and now.” Power in this province, he went on, is recognized in Quebec as the cause {for Ontario’s constant industrial de- velopment. The chairman of the Mon- 'treal Harbor Commission had declared that Toronto gained 25 new industries while Montreal gained three, that To- ronto's Industrial Commission had been able to offer cheap power and that in one instance alone the diner- ence in power cost over a 10-year per- iod would pay the cost of establishing a manufacturing plant in Toronto. In the face of such benefits to Ontario, he declared, Hydro had proven its worth to the people and should be pro- tected against political critics seeking self-advancement. Both Ontario and Quebec had sought rights to develop tamed, as they still maintain. that. oer- taln of the waters were surplus and be- yond the needs of navigation and should therefore be utilized for power power on the St. Lawrence, yet each had been repulsed. Each had maln- attack upon those in the Liberal group who seek to undermine and destroy Hydro for their own political advance- ment. Grouping together Harry Sitton, and E. C.
