That the O A C cadets were able

It is probable that there will be
no referendum on any of the acts of
the last legislature. Petitions for
the referendum on the Lewis &
Clark's fair bear 2751 signatures,
and many of the signers are not
registered voters. AS 1886 sigma.
lures are required to have any act
referred to the people, it is not
probable that the attempt to delay
the fair will succeed. Yesterday
was the last day for fling petitions.
It is possible that sufficient names
haze been fled to make it neees-
sary to refer the portage railway
bill.
