pie who want to live here if they can
get house to live in.
1T is part of the programme and
purposes of the association to build
houses" said he, ''but we haven't got

is to make money. As fast as any sur
plus funds are accumulated they are
offered to borrowers who bid for the
loan; the best bidder takes the money
and so far there is no trouble in loan

Probably if the association found any
difficulty in loaning money it would
invest its money in houses as the next
most profitable form of investment

By order of manager &. j. Smith, of
the .. II. & n. Co, says the Telegram,
a number of notices have been posted
up in various conspicuous places on
the steamer Potter. requesting the
passengers not to tip the walters.
This measure was taken to relieve
the travelling public from the clutches
of the walters, who have here
tofore been at liberty to prey
upon the public pocketbook, to
the grief of its posseSsor. By way of
remunerating the walters for the loss
of this bountiful source of revenue,
their salaries have been advanced to
$50 per month. These notices have
not as yet been posted up i'll the din
ing room of any of the other steamers,
but it is understood that it will soon
be done, and then steamboat life will
be endurable again.
