will probably turn to electric when they feel absolutely sure of continuous power, and the group of Niagara plants should now. make this possible. The various power companies also hold large blocks of land at Niagara Falls, Ontario. and will doubtless induce smelting and manufacturing industries to locate in the vicinity, and, beyond all, the many manufacturing towns in the center of western Ontario are still l,nsupplied. How much all these yari- ous demands will amount to it is diff. cult to estimate. but as there will be 150.O0O to 175,OO0 horse power on the market from these plants in a few years, and as they are being developed with view to total output of 37J,- GOO to 100000 horse power. it is safe conclusion that the probable demand within the next five years vii about equal the smaller amount mentioned. On the other hand it is hard to con- ceive total demand in both countries within q present reasonable distance of Niagara Falls of more than 5O0,OOO horse power within the next genera tiOn

Boston and New York are moving in the direction of municipal ownership Of their lighting plants, gas and cleo tricity. and we are solemnly warned that we are on the high road to an archy and ruin, says an exchange. ln- VCStigation seems to show that the cost of electric lighting in Baltimore costs about S57 q lamp now, while for morly benevolent corporation asked Sl30 for the service; in Chicago the city manages to light up for about $54 2 lamp. q service which the modest Edison company asked and got S2O0 for. If the difference between mnni- clpal expense and corporate extortiOh represents anarchy and ruin. the soon- cr we are ruined and anarchised the better. We have an idea that say ing of from half to d million dollars a year in the lighting bill of city win reconcile the most gloomy and pessi niStic taxpayer to that sort of anarchy and ruin. In Waterbury we pay in inc neighborlIood of SlOO. Would the city he able to cut that price in two if il owned its own plant?

In his last letter he says that the New York finan- cial situation has been more or less affected by the outbreak in Russia. Fer Il period 1t was impossible to tell WlI&t would be the extent and conse- qurHces of an uprising which has lon. been tcared, and which has not yet by an.r means eliminated.

The strike of the Clinton carpenters
and joiners, which resulted in the
complete suspension of building activ-
ity in what promised to be an unparal-
leled boom, has been settled, and the
carpenters have returned to their
duties, after nine weeks Of idleness,
accepting the proposition which the
contractors made them shortly after
the walkout was begun, and thus CIV
Ing the contractors victory, though
concessions were made on both sides,
and the agreement partook slightly OF
the nature Of compromise. The con-
tractors agree to pay the carpenters
SO LIZ cents an hour, for o nine-hour
working day, but they reserve the right
to employ nonunion carpenters If they
so desire, though they state that they
will give preference to union men sc
far as possible. No contract will be
signed, the agreement being purely an
oral one.

Land Affects lowans.
Seven thousand farms of 100 acres
each in the Big Horn and Yellowstone
valleys of Montana, a million dollars
worth of rich Iowa land, worth SIS an
acre, and $1,000 acres of Minnesota
reservation land will be advertised in
Uncle Sans next bargain day an
nouncements.
The Minnesota and Montana offer
ings are to be regular disposals of
public lands to prospective settlers,
while the Iowa homesteading will be
the result of fifteen years of litigation
over a big block of lands in North
western Iowa. The Montana farms
will be the first irrigated land ever
disposed of by the government by
homestead entry, and the experiment
will be watched with interest through
out the West.
In the Iowa case, the government
! has served notice on the holders of
$4,000 acres in O'Brien and adjacent
counties to show cause why they
should not be ousted and the land
thrown open to homestead entry. They
/ are given sixty days time to do this.
This land is part of a big grant made
| in the early seventies to the Sioux
! City and st. Paul railroad, which was
: to receive ten square miles for every
mile of road. The line was built only
! as far as lie Mars. and in 1887 con-
gress passed law governing the re-
/ turn of unearned land grants to the
government
In this case 1t was claimed $4,000
acres were unearned. But the rail.
road had in the meantime sold the land
to settlers, and ever since the matter
has been in litigation. The govern.
ment won in test case before the
United States supreme court, and now
the land department proposes to take
immediate steps to make this land
subject to homestead. Inasmuch as
the process will in this case be equiv
alent to giving away $4,000 farms
there will be furious scramble fol
the big priZes.
