An association has been organizeJ at Toronto. It is said the raise wil mean extra revenue of $S!, 500,000 to the Bell company in one year. « • • Rt Hon. W.\L M. King, is fighting for a scat in the Dominion House in the PriiKC! Albert Sask, bye-election. IJis opponent is D. L. Burgess, inde- pendent. It was thought for some time that the premier would be un- opnosed. • • • The short course now in progress in Fleshe'ton is receiving support by the farmpi- and others in this dist- rict. It !•< by practical demonstra- tions like t!u>:ie that we barn the ii'v provemenl in our old system of far;ii operation.

All hope llhat she will .soon regain her usual good health, i BORN â€" On January 25,to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hale, a son. Mr. Walter Wilson of the town- line Arlemesia, had the misfortune to lose a good horse last week, when it got snagged while working in the bush. One of Alex Maxwell's horses broke through the ice on the hydro pond one day last week, There was about thirty feet of water, but heln was near at hand, and they got it out .and it seems none the worse for ita cold bath. A born leader in these times is a man who cati pick up a new source of revenue. Eugenia Hydro Works In a comprehensive address giv- en by Mr. McGrath, successor to Sir Adam Beck as chairman of the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission published in the Bulletin, the follow- ing sections v/ill be of local interest in the way of review : Georgian Buy System This system which is -a consolida- tion of four systems previously ex- isting â€" namely, the Severn, Eugenia, serves that portion of the province of Ontario which surrounds the south- ern end of Georgian Bay, and lies to the north of the territory served by the Niagara System. It includes the district surrounding Lake Simcoe and extends as far north as Huntsvillc in the Lake of Bays District. It is served by five generating stations, the Wasdells and the Big Chute on the Severn River, the Eugenia on the Beaver River, and the f outh Falls and Hann < Chutes developments on the Muskuka River. Of course the Big Chutf plant was purchased by the Commission. The South Falls plant Was purchased from the town of Graveniiurst and is also being en- larged, while the other three plants jWere constructed by the Commission. J In addition power is purchased from the corporation in Orillia and from Niagara System. The area served by the Georgian Bay System is about 8,900 square miles, with a population of 115,000 and the load supplied is about 20,000 horsepower. £:igenia Development The g'jcond development under- taken by the Commission, situated on the escarpment near Georgian Bay, in the Gounty of Grey, and designed to serve the municipalities In the Owen Sound-Durham District, was commenced in July 1914, and the in- itial development completed in Nov- I embc 1915. The uni^iue features ofi this plant, known as the Eugenia | development are the arrangements for maximum economic utilization of the runoff from the drainage area, and the high head, under which the reaction turbines are used. ; The development consists, essen- 1 tially of a storage dam on the Beaver' River, about one half mile above the Eugenia Falls, forming a reservoir, a canal 5,000 feet long, a forebay or settling basin, two woodstave pipes and steel penstocks and the power- house. The gross head under which the plant operates is 552 feet which is obtained from the storage dam of 50 feet and the natural fall of the river. The drainage area above the stor- age dam is 74 square miles, a great deal of which ia tamarack and cedar swamp. The runoff is remarkably constant, due partly to the above fact [and partly to the geological form- j (Continued on Page 8) SEVEN MISTAKES OF LIFE "There are seven mistakes of life that many of us make," said a fam- ous man writer; and then he gave the following list: 1. The delusion that individual ad- vancement is made by running oth- ers down. 2. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or cor- rected. 3. Insisting that a thing is imposs- ible, because we ourselves cannot ac- complish it. 4. Attempting to compel other per- sons to believe and live as we do. I 5. Neglecting development and re- finement of the mind by not acquir- ing the habit 6f reading. 6. Refusing to set aside trivial pre- ferences, in order that important things may be accomplished. 7. The failure to establish the hab- it of saving money. EUGENIA St. N'alentine'i! day will ^ooii be here, when St. Valentine's niesBcii- gers go fortli fleet of foot and lighi of heart.
