NEW DRAINAGE SYSTEM.
Surveyors Make Complete Plat
OF Town.

The new town council follow
ed up their determination to i'm
prove the town by Immediately
securing the services OF n civil
engineer from Huron. 4 COM
! plete plat OF the entire town was
made, showing the grade OF eve
! ry street. Mayor Campbell re-
ports that the first move that
will lie made will be to lay a
! tifteen-inch tile sewer from the
artesian well to the creek. 1t
will run north along the alley
Immediately west of Main street
until the old drainage ditch from
the lake is reached. Then it
turns west TO the creek. This
will give a fall of about % feet
and the waste water from the
well will always keep il open.
Main street will then he drained
into this sewer along Second
street. The east side of town
will he drained into the old lake
which in tnrn will be drained in
to the creek by a new set of
thing.
This, system has long been
needed br Miller, and the pres
ent council cannot he too highly |
commended for their quick ac-
ton. A sewerage system is an |
absolute necessity Ofeverv grow

from $4,000 to $1,000 Miller

 dred thousand inhabitants that it is to- day. Some lucky land speculations in the pre-goId-field period made him the owner of the Melbourne suburb of Co., burg, and one of the richest men in Vic toria. For many years he had contrib uted one thousand pounds per annum to the Papal treasury, and the late Pope Leo rewarded this tangible loyalty by making him domestic prelate of the Vatican. His great wealth permitted him to be unconventional. He was a dashing hOrseman, and never missed a

In summer he regularly dressed in white from head to foot. He attend ed so many Protestant gatherings, and was so frequently seen arm-in-arm with Church of England, Wesleyan and Presbyterian clergymen, that rigid Catholics had their doubts about his or thodoxy, and some of them considered him a crying scandal. As Catholic chaplain to the Melbourne military forces, he wore a resplendent uniform at reviews, and pranced around on a. magnificent steed.

DHI3ISH TRADE.

British trade does not yet furnish much ammunition for Mir. Chamber lain's calamity campaign. In the last fiscal year for which figures are avail able it shows gains instead of losses. In 1902 the exports were $1,746,1 ,193, ,Ss5, against S1,7Sg, ,321, ,340 the year before, a gain of $6,S72,555, while the imports, which were s2,641, ,956,470. showed a gain of $32. .005, ,380. Yet in one important particular the figures help Mir. Cham berlain's demand for preferential ar- engagements with the colonies. His con- tention is that exports to foreign coun- tries are being cut down by hostile tar ifs, while exports to the colonies alone show growth. It appears from the re- port of Consul Boyle, of Liverpool, that while the exports to foreign countries decreased in 1902, as compared with 1901, to the amount of s15,09S, ,OS5, the exports to the British colonies and possessions increased $21.965, ,5s0, leaving a net in- crease of $6,S72,555. This fact plays into MT. Chamberlain's hand Cultivate your best customers" he says, land bind them to you by special agreements before they form close commercial ties with other countries"

THE CANAL BUSiNESS.

The chief matter of interest in the message sent to congress yesterday by the President is, of course, his defence of his action in the Colombia Panama business. Sad to say, this defence will strike many as being somewhat made quate. But there are also many who will be glad to read and indorse such strenuous words as these: Every effort has been made by the government of the United States to persuade Colombia to follow a course which was essen- tially not only to our interests and to the interests of the world. but to the interests of Colombia itself. These ef- forts have failed; and Colombia, by her persistence in repulsing the advances that have been made, has forced us, for the sake of our own honor, and of the interest and welI-heing, not merely of our own people, but of the people of the Isthmus of Panama and the people of the civilized countries of the world, to take decisive steps to bring to an end condition of affairs which had be- come intolerable.
 That's the way to talk to 'enl, many will say. When affairs anywhere be- come intolerable to the United States she can and ought to make them toler- able. @ A..

GREAT IF TR UE,

1t is announced that the direct gen. eratiorl of electricity without the in- tervention of the steam engine is now accomplished. Such an announcement has been made before and has not turned out to be quite true. If this one is it is the biggest thing that has happened lately. The inventor has been exhibiting his apparatus in Chi cago, and his claim is that he has per- fected a system by which, in retort of his own device, he can develop 8 gas from coal or any fuel in the con- sumption of which, a fused electrolyte- 8 carbon of his own preparation-which is maintained in @ cell at 390 degrees Fahrenheit, in combination with gas and air, gives off current of electricity of high potentiality, passed out through transmitting wires. The boiler, the steam engine and the dynamos are dis pensed with, so the inventor claims. The cost is reduced to three-fourths of that of the present. The generation is steady and practically unlimited.
