A company represented by Warren Over- F Krapfel and D. Brown is seeking incorporation -for the purpose of constructing an electric railway line from the City of Medicine Hat to Elkwater Lake via Coleridge and Josephburg. The articles have been laid before the Council and approved by the members with some few minor amendments. The text of the agreement, insofar as the City s interests are concerned, appears in this issue of the News and should be very carefully serutin- iged by the ratepayers. Any.clause or por- tion of a clause, to which exception can be taken should be noted and the same brought ion at Wednesday even- ing s publi meeting in the city hall. On the face of it the. proposition looks good to the News, but as we know there is wisdom in a multitude of counsellors and therefore each individual ratepayer should constitute himself a specially -appointed of the city s interest and carefully view. The Council and City Solicitor Mahaffy-are satisfied that our municipal rights are not infringed upon in any man- ner by the franchise which is sought.. This in itself constitutes an endorsement of the proposition which demands consideration, as the Council stands-as a unit in favor-of municipal-owned franchises of publig util- ities. The proposed electric line, it is true, traverses the city thoroughfares to a cer- tainextent, the terminal, as a matter of fact, being at the market place. This, however, is a necessity, as with no, urban line with which to connect, the suburban would be placed at the great disadvantage if prohibited from entering the municipal limits. The permission, though, to use the city streets is not ited without due con- sideration being given to the safeguarding of civic rights. A clause in the agreement, aequire that portion of the line constructed within the corporation limits at a valuation to be determined by - the cost of construct- ion and maintenance. 5 With the city s interests properly safe- guarded, the e the proposition and give it their heartiest support.. Through the medium of such a line, Medicine Hat will be made the ship- ing point for a great farming district to be landed at our doors in all sorts of weat- her, our market will become one of the finest in the west, and last but not least, the beau- ies of the Cypress - Hills and- Elkwater for one dollar. w H.

The number stood at 130.8 in both months. Compared with December a year ago, a vise of over 8 points is shown. These numbers it will be understood, are percentages in each case of the average price level prevailing during the decade, 1890-1900, and are calculated from quotations of about 230 articles. The fchief-increases during the past year occur- red in grains and fodder, dairy products, fish hides and metals, there having been de- ereases in animals and meats, textiles, paints and oils. The strike record of the Labor Depart- ment shows that there were only eight trade disputes in existence during Decem- ber, being six less than in December, 1910. About ten firms and slightly over fourteen hundred employees were involved. The loss in working days amounted approximat- ly to forty thousand. The new disputes of the month were of only slight import- ance. There were only four disputes un- settled at the close of the year. - Righty-two fatal and one hundred and ninety-four non-fatal accidents to Work- people were recorded by the Department of fabor during December.

The chief disasters during the month were the suffocating of three miners at Middlesboro, B.C., in a chute of a mine, and an explosion in a powder factory at Departure Bay, Vancouver, B.C., in which three men were killed. There were eleven killed in the railway service and fourteen in mining. The largest number of non-fatal accidents oceurred in the metal trades in which forty- two were injured. Nine men were killed and thirty-one were injured in the building trades, an unusually high number for the month of December. There were twenty six non-fatal accidents in the railway serv- ice. 2a A UNIQUE METHOD.

But the same business has been undertaken all over the Province of Hanover, which has more than 7,000 miles of public highways lined with fruit The fruit is-sold-at auction, and in igh as 595 a mile. ; The details of the scheme will-be laid b fore the American Association for Highway Improvement when it me ts in Richmond, Va.

He won his promotion to the rank of captain at the early age of twenty-three, and was a full-fledged colonel at thirty- four.. One of several important: points that he held in his early career was that of secretary to Gen. Billot when the latter was minister of war. Michel was appointed vice president of the superior council of war at Paris, which is the highest military post within the gift of the republic,.as the presidency of the coun- cil is always held by the minister of war himself. a 3: CONGRATULATIONS TO: (Sis Hopkins ) well Rose Melville know?
