Cusual advertisements 2000pL04 up W ADVANTAGES:, OF MUNL CIPAL OWNERSHIP. We are all interested in the purity of our meat supply. . lt is essential for the protection of the people‘s health. This can only be secured by hbouses where meat can be properly inspected and its purity guaranteed. Berlin and Waterloo are now _ large enough to have one central slaughter house to take the place of the many privately â€" owned slaughter . hkouses scattered all over the two towns, rendering efficieut inspection impos sible. The difierence between publicly owned .slaughter houses and . private slaughter houses is well iNustrated by the cases of London, England, ane Berlin, Gernm.any. In London there are over a hundred privately â€" owned slaughter . houses, scattered about in the midst of pri vate dwelling houses, in buildings i1 adapted for the purpose. . EfMcient inâ€" spection cannot be carried out, col(l storage does not exist, the economiâ€" cal utilization of offal is impossible Meat is conveyed about the streets from the numerous slaughter houses in open carts. THE NIAGARA â€" POWER QUESTION. In Berlin, on the«other hand, thete is one municipa}slaughtvr house â€" for the whole city. A staff of trained veterinary surgeons is attached to it, who examine the animals before they are killed, and subject the meat _ t« microscopical examination before . it is offered for sale. 1t has to bt stamped as sound before it can b« put on the market; it can be conveyâ€" ed only in specially built and coveret meatcarts; adequate cold storage i provided; all the offal and wastes ar properly utilized in a way which _ i: possible only at a large establish ment. & <1%, The magnitude of the Niagata powâ€" er problem is such as to rendet an intelligent _ conception ofâ€" it by the general public almost impossible _ on the spur of the‘ moment. The report of the Ontario Power Commission is, howesver, exhaustive, and deals suticâ€" iently with details to open up to the thinking mind a vast field for exerâ€" cise. Of course, the fact that energy can beâ€"generated at ~Niagara by a power that is practically running to waste and that this power can be had for nothing, makes _ the proposition appeatr ‘at once feasible and enchant ing. This is a proper question for th public Boards of Health of the tw« towns to thoroughly investigate an if some feasible plan can be _ fount to recommend that action be take for the g-slablishmcil(. of one centra . abattoir, where all animals to be slaughtered can be properly inspecteo before and after being kiled and the purity of the meat guaranteed béfore being allowed to be put on the mar ket. ‘The offal could atso be propetly utilized and the nuisances resulting from private slaughter houses be aba ted. The scheme might not be com mercially profitable, butâ€" that is a secondary matter. ‘The public health of the general community is of the first importance. Jf . the public health demands it, that ought to settle the question. w3 ts Up to the present, electricity only holds a secondary position as a powâ€" er, whetrewith to operate machinery, because clectricity cannot be produe ed excepting at the expense of somm other power. Henee clectsicity can not in the abstract be called a powâ€" et at all, it is simply an agency by whichâ€"powerâ€"may ~be ~transmitted from one point to another. It is a well Enown fact â€" that water is th cheapest _ known â€" clement by which ypower can be generated, and although wind may be had for nothing as well as water, yet the uncertainty of it is such that there is no comparison between the two. Henee we say that thare â€"can â€"â€"be wo question regarding the feasibility of the generation of power at Niagara Falls On genetal ysinciples we beheve. t great problem to be solved is wheth er the em rgy so produced can 40 trans mitted and satisfactority distributed to consumers at a cheaget rate than it can be produced _ otherwise. _ As soon as power usets | are convineed that this can be accomplished _ thore will be no difvculty in getting the Feople to seire the opportunity between the two. thare â€"can â€"â€"be no the feasibility of power at Niagara Judging from the report of _ the Power Commission one would b* saig in conclading that the gonerating and transmission of power from Niacata to the municipalities would be quite feasible from a financial standpoint, but when the expense of distribution is considered it may maters‘y ald to th> cost.. In future issues we shall endeavor to deal with the question of Niagara yower mote fully by discussing the proposition from a Twinâ€"City standâ€" 'flit. Albert Stricker, a young married man of â€" Elmira, was arrested on Thorsday in that village on a charge of seduction and was committed for trial and brought to Berlin by Conâ€" statle J. L. Bowman. The father of the prisoner did not want his sen taken to the county jail anud promised the constable to secure the necessary amount of bail if he. would wait at the Market MHotel in Berlin.

The manager says he cau get all the men he wants. â€" The cause of the strike is becaust the manager has cut off the supply oi free beer which was served out to the hands six times a day. He found that too much time was spent in inibibing the rations. The employes of the malting deâ€" partment are still at work. â€" Their supply of beet was not interfered with.

A mass meeting of the Zionites in the Shiloh temple last night â€"was confirmatory of the sentiment | exâ€" pressed Sunday evening and throughâ€" out yesterday.

In these actions not only the leadâ€" ers and the host of followers join, but, Mrs. Dowie and Gladstone Dowie themselves. / Probably the oldest.. resident of !V\'a!nkm county passed away at Preston early Friday mornmg in the !prrs«vn of Annic Ryan, relict of, the late Thos. O‘Leary, at the advanced ‘IKP of 96. Born in County Clare, llwllml. about, 1810, deceased _ came | when a young girl to Simcoe, where |she lived several years. Going thence | to Toronto, she met and marricd ‘Thos. O‘Leary and moved to Guelph, where they resided some time. _ For | the last thirtyâ€"two years she has livâ€" ed in Preston, where her husband ‘ died twelve years ago. Three childâ€" ren survive the aged lady: Mrs. D. Costigan, of Guelph, Rev. Father O‘Leary, of Cayuga, and Mrs. Josâ€" _oph Jansen, of Preston. During the afternoon the name of Dowieâ€"that famous, bold signature, "John Alexander"â€"was torn from all the dead walls of Zion City. . This was not done so much with a purâ€" pose of showing spite against the deâ€" posed ‘"Elijah" as to protect the community from legal tangles that might follow an effort on . Dowie‘s part to rehabilitate himself in power. Ready to Spring Charges. The charges dealing with Dowie‘s private life are being held over his head by. Voliva. and other leaders and will be made public if Dowie vefuses to accept quietly his _ repuâ€" diation by his people. The charges are being prepared by Voliva, togethâ€" er with Overseers L. D. Bracefield, J. G. Spiecher, and H. E. Cantwell. They will be based on certain reveâ€" lations made to them by Mrs. Jane Dowie and Gladstone Dowie, the son. The least of these charges, it was averred, will be that dealing _ with Dowie‘s private advocacy of polyâ€" gamy. â€" His relations ‘and wouldâ€"be relations â€"with=â€"other women _ than his wife, according to open talk at Lion, will be revealed. _ There . will be exposures of his manner â€" of â€"inâ€" dtiating women into his church. F\J Gladstonc yesterday said that the charges, if it came to a last resort, would appear over the signatures of his mother and himself. _ Me would not give the details. but he . said they would be sensational. $ Dowie and Women. The names of several women, have been linked with Dowic‘s. . The woâ€" man whom Mrs. Dowie most strenâ€" uously objected to was Ruth Hofer, the Swiss heiress, who came to Amâ€" crica and to Zion in 1904. _ Agnes Munro, the Scotch singer, was anâ€" other woman. of whom Mrs. Dowie was: jealous. MMr, Wm. Thos. Lanorgan, provincâ€" ial Constable at Chapleau, Ontario, says : "I caught a severe cold while hunting _ a burglatr in â€" the _ forest swamp last fall. _ Mearing of Chamâ€" berlain‘s Cough Remedy, 1 tried it, and after using two small bottles I was completely cured."

Galt, April 4.â€"Alderman J. H. Fryer, President of Galt Board of Trade, said: "I do not think municiâ€" palities should be asked to develop power on their own responsibility. ‘The only plan to my mind is to have the Government develop and distribâ€" ute, and charge the cost of doing the: same, on a price per horse power â€" at which power is delivered to municiâ€" palities, providing for sinking fund, so that in a stated period, say forty years, the plant would be free . of debt. Let municipalities . distribute power within their own corporations. This would not add a dollar of burâ€" den to the general taxpayer, notr 10 the municipality, «s the cost would all come out of tne consumer, . who would directly benefit,. The â€"circumâ€" stances of cach municipality are ‘so varied the plan of having them band togetWer for the purpose of developâ€" ing and distribating power would be open to serious objection. But if the Government would take this up . in such way ‘as I have indicated, these objections would be entirely removâ€" ed.. If necessary, to carry out such scheme, municipalitics might be ask. ed to give bonds or issue debentures for their proportionate share of the undertaking. The sinking fund and inâ€" terest would be provided for out . of the receipts of the undertaking. One thing is certain, the people of Westâ€" ern Ontario want Niagara power, and will make a big effort to get it, and get it at once." GOVERNMENT MUST DEVELOP POWER Cost to Municipalities of Taking Over Niagara Power Plant Regarded as Most Proâ€" hibitive. Mayor Butler says: "I enthusiasti cally endorse the proposal for the Government to enter into the work, and the diffetent municipalities _ to pay their. share of the cost." John White, President of the Boar('] of Trade, advocates the same course, as does also Ald. Dr.. Mearns, Chairâ€" man of the Finance Committec. The latter asserts that the rate of taxaâ€" tion for Woodstock would have been four ~mills less had Niagara power been available here for power purâ€" poses this year. o. Too Costly for Citics.

Woodstock, _ Aprit _ 4.â€"Prominent citizens interviewed relative to â€"the Niagara power question, unanimously favor the Provincial Government takâ€" ing hold of the scheme, »installing the necessary _ equipment, and transmitâ€" ting electrical power to the ‘several municipalities interested. _ The same views are voiced by the,ratepayers o} the city generally, as was evidenced at the meeting addressed by Hon. Adam Beck, M.P.P., Monday night. The genetal opinion appears to be that the cost would be too much for theâ€"city, and that the Government should undertake the scheme.
