‘‘Nothing whatever has been given to the press," declared President E. MW. B. Snidet and Secretary Maight, when seen at the Rossin House last night; "whatever has been published is . the merest guesswork." "‘Well, that is too much,"" heâ€"deâ€" clared emphatically; "from what 1 know of the cost of production, 1 should say that that was paying too much. Mr., Snidet‘s attention was called to the fact that powerâ€"was to be furâ€" nished by one of the Niagara companâ€" ies to the New York Central at $12 per horse power, and that the City of â€" Toronto, under the law, as it stands, might purchase power at the same price and distribute it to . conâ€" sumers here at about $17.50. WILL PUBLISH REPORT Toronto, Feb. 14.â€" The municipal power commission met last night and virtually agreed upon their ~report, but the same will nave to be rormalâ€" ly draited and some other details ‘atâ€" iended to before it is filed. "If the people will wait and read our report they will find that they can . get power. quite cheaply; they can‘t get it immediately, but _ they can get it. But if they want to pay the price, Iâ€"guess the â€"private comâ€" panies can furnishâ€"them Tight away." Municipal Commissioners Say Thatit can be Distributed at a Low Price. _ "It has been a long and tedious job," he remarked, "but in a _ few days the municipalities will have the facts and figures, so they will not be talking at random. They will know just what they can do and what it will cost." » NIAGARA POWER WILL BE CHEAP _ _Mr. Snider declined to give out the findings or recommendations of the commission. * "Does your report cover the cost of transmitting energy from the Falls to the city and the cost of distributâ€" ing it through the city." "Well,"* replied Mr. Snider, "I can not tell you what is in the report, but we did consider every item . of cost, including delivery by the muniâ€" cipality to the consumer," M EN‘S OVERCOATS $6 oo Overcoats at....$ 4t0o 8 co t€ *C se.r: 80 10 00 8t *~«..«‘ @50 \â€"~, ~XR#OO 4 "* ...« Y50 ;goo «* ** ...« :000 00 Â¥k " .... 1400 22 00 6 . * .... 1600 BOYS‘ OVERCOATS $9 00 Overcoats ...

It was not until April of the year 1901 that the provincial Government really seriousâ€" ly considered the matter of granting some practical aid in the way of putâ€" ting aside a sum of money to be spent in encouraging the growth of the sugar beet and the establishment of factories. Under the conditions of the grant the manufacturer was entitled to a bonus of oneâ€"half cent per lb. on all sugar manufactured during the first and second years, and one , quarter cent during the third year, after which the bonus ceased entirely.. The Dominion Government also assisted to the extent that machinery which required to be imported was admitâ€" ted free of duty. The result was most gratifying. The first year the output was as follows : .Ontario Suâ€" gar Co., 6,063,926 lbs.; Wallaceburg Sugar Co., 3,606,604 lbs.; â€" Dresden Sugar Co., 3,7263,987; Wiarton Sugar Co., 1,565,000; a total of 14,899,517 I 50 I 25 lbs. â€" In 1903 the amount of sugar . made was practically the same, but in the year 1901 two of these companies and have over 2000 records to select from We are Going to Move _ m 33 nays in 33 days y w Wanless‘ Musicâ€"Store, ammmemmummminspmencemmnmeiimniznmsianninsamatimmnmmemmmtas be::'?l :;:L?n;(\’;:.hnphnnes of latest and $5, $10, $12, $15, $18, $25, Etc.

With two compani¢s only in the field the yield of 1904 was 14,835,441 lbs., or nearly as much. The returns for 1905 are not yet published in detail, but enquiry at the office of the proâ€" vincial secretary, yesterday elicited the gratifying intelligence that the season just closed had been phenomâ€" enally successful. _ The Wallaceburg Sugar Co. during 1905 made 11,276,â€" 0é6 lbs., and the Ontarto Sugar Co., of Berlin, 9,510,753 lbs,, a. total , of 20,786,819 Tbs. Statistics are usualâ€" ly regarded as wearisome, but the figâ€" ures here given furnish food for serâ€" ious reflection. The sugar industry is capable of enormous development, and the fact that the farmers of. the Proâ€" vince of Ontario have found another sovrce of revenue yielding. on an ayvâ€" erage $53.50 an acre, and in many cas s ncarly twice that amount, is good ground for congratulation,. The one detcrtrent factot is the scarcity of farm help. With the purchase of the Wiarton plant by the Keystone Co., of Whitby, another factory will be, it is hoped, in full operation by the opening of the fall of 1906. ‘ Columbia Graphophone So pertfect, sweet and clear, are these renderings you will not realize what youare missing until you try BERLIN, ON1 SALE â€"PRICES.
