In reporting the results Of the recent
visit of the British Institution Of Civil
Engineers to America, Sir William
White said that four new instruments
now under way on the Canadian side

of 100000 horsepower. When these
works are completed the grand total
of power derived from Niagara on
both sides of the river will be about
100000 horsepower. which. OF course.
is but fraction of the whole power OF

that within Il radius Of about forty
FIVE miles from Ottawa sufficient water
power exists to furnish nearly 100000
horsepower for driving machinery.
The final report of the Royal Com

interesting facts. Assuming 1000 feet

the minimum thickness Of seam ut
which coal mining is practicable, the
commission estimates that the avail
able quantity of coal yet untouched on
the British Isles amounts to a little
over one hundred thousand million
tons. This is about ten thousand MIL
lion tons greater than the estimate
made by the Coal Commission of 1871,
notwithstanding the, fact that more
than five and a half thousand million
tons of coal have been raised in the
meantime. The difference is accounted

FOUNDER OF OAKLAND DEAD.
Daniel Reese Brant Expired Last
Tuesday In CHICAGO.

Daniel Reese Brant, the founder
of the town of Oakland, died at
his residence, 1850 Vernon Az,
Chicago, on October 3Oth last.
Mr. Brant was born on the Brant
farm near Bloomington, on May
4th, 1921. Shortly before he was
twenty-one he married Eliza Will
son and soon after moved to Viii
sons mill, now Kitzmillersville,
where he opened a little store and
commenced a mercantile career.
Later when the building Of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad from
Cumberland to the west was pro-
jected and about I84o he moved to
the present site Of the town of
Oakland and opened a store. The
site OF the town was then covered
with woods and brush and he built
the first house here. He after
wards built and occupied the house
now standing in Oakland and
usually called The Totten
House" He had an extensive
business in Oakland and laid out
the subdivision called Grants
Addition" to the town of Oakland
on which much of Oakland is
built. In 1855 he moved to Iowa
and from there, i'll 1862, went to
Chicago where he has ever since
resided. He there engaged in the
mercantile business, constructed
several buildings, among them the
Dearborn Theatre, and accumu-
lated a fortune estimated at half a
million dollars. Most of this was
swept away by the great fire of
1871. After this disaster he was
for long time active in varions
enterprises and built the Columbus
Theatre, which is now running.
He accumulated a comfortable
competence and for the last eight
or ten years have not been so ac-
lively engaged in business. His
death resulted from an affection of
the kidneys, He was a man of
powerful physique and great energy
and determination. He was very
generous and could never turn a
needy person away empty-handed.
His affection for his family and
friends was intense and he always
loved tenderly the mountains
where he was born. He raised
family of eight children, four of
whom, as we'll as his widow, sur.
vlve him. He, himself, was the
last survivor of a large family of
children and had many friends and
relatives in the vicinity of Oak
land.

"THE VOLUNTEER ORGANISE"

Nothing as pleasing to all classes
has so far this season been offered to
theatre-goers as The Volunteer Or
ganist," which comes here tonight.
Its story is a sweet one and is en-
tireIy different from the efforts hith-
erto put forth by any dramatist. The
piece may truly be called semi-reli-
gious one, inasmuch as its plot has
so much TO do with the church and
inueed, one of the central characters
is a broad-minded, progressive minis
ter who, notwithstanding his liberal
ideas. does not fail TO accomplish in
his flock the end which he set out to
attain.
Many times it has been undertaken
to introduce a man of the cloth in the
drama of to-day, but as earnest as the
efforts might be, there has invariably
been something that was objection
able or overdrawn ana it has remain
ed for William B. Gray to construct a
part for a dominic that is absolutely
fiawless-sO much so in fact, that he
is almost daily the recipient Of COM
munications from pastors who were
charmed with the part of the stage
preacher and the grand moral of the
play, The Volunteer Organist."
The love story which runs through
the play is a most tender one and so
enraptured does the spectator become
that he almost finds himself rushing
Gown the aisle to congratulate the
young minister and Grace upon their
bethrothal.

This company carries the largest
and hanosomest cars used by a show
company. their street parade is a
large one, and everything used in it is
carried by the organization. The war
drobe both on and off the stage is of
the best.
