Both the sup porters and the opponents of inter- city union are opening up vigorous campaign on the issue and the: tion is sutficiently complicated to render the final outcome decidedly uncertain. Even the amalgemists ap- preciate tha fact that-the anti sentiment is strong and thriving and that the opposition vote on the 26th is Hikely to be a heavy one. 'To-night will see the first public meeting in the city for discussion of th agreement under which is pro- posed to unite with Edmonton. That this meeting is. being advertised both by those protesting against the a - tion of the council in bringing the plebiscite on this month and Acting- Mayor Pollard shows the keen inter- est which is being taken in the ques- ee Tpon the failure of Mr. Pol- lard to fix a date in council Tuesday evening fer the ratepayers meeting aS pe.itioned for, a number of the petitioners took steps Wednesday to have a meeting called for to-night, pis being distributed mbout the city. giving publicity to. the decision. While this ection was being. taken Acting-Mayor Pollard was in confer- ence with some members of the coun- cil and resolved upon announcing the rateyasers meeting tonight. By this coincidence the dates ill fortunately not conict althouka the petitioners had their meeting advertised for as- sembly in the city hall while acting Major Pollard calls the official meet- ing to take place in the Opera House The ratepayers, however. have this morning called off the meeting in the city hall in order that all may at- tend at the Opera House. Mr. P lard explains that owing to other ES this week and the press of business of the city he was un- to sooner decide upon a date for the meeting. It is understood that the amalgam- ation apreement will be defended to- night by members of the local com- mittee which worked at the drafting of the document. - It is Keld that the terms are the best obtainable and that. there was no reason for de laying the taking of the plebiscite until next fonth. Many of those who last spring agitated for amal- yamation ar flow onnosed through professed displeasure with the agree- ment. The failure of the council to require a two-thirds majority for the passing of the agreement is also causing no ttle dissatisfaction.

The ditch is clean cut by means of the excavating equipment and the earth Is piled along one side where it can be returned with the least pos- sible trouble. The machine-is now at work south of Whyte Avenue and the firm expect another machine: of sim- Har type to reach the city at any time.

A special train of fifty freight cars, loaded with threshing machines and escorted by corps of trained men, is hurrying over the Chicago and Northwestern road from Chicago to Western Can- jada to help harvest the 400,000,000 dushels of grain crop in Manitoba, Saskatehewan and Alberta. So ur- gent is the demand for harvesting machinery there that the special is given the right over other freight trains. It came to Chicago over the Lake Shore direct fromthe M.
