His statements were substantiated by Gus

Electricity in the Home.

In a 5000 or $4,000 house, says Casters
Magazine, 1t is a very common matter to
wire for electric lights, but by giving the
subject a little further attention with your
electrical contractor and the architect, II
is possible to arrange outlets for lighting
socket heating devices at very little extra
expense, Such receptacles would be taken
from of the lighting wires in a very simple
manner, The cost of operating later, at
lighting rates, would not be large, for the
reason that the electrical devices which
will be used on such a circuit consume
only a small amount Of electricity and are
generally used for only short Intervals
They would comprise, for example, the
chatting dish, the coffee peTcolator, heating
pad, cigar lighter shaving mug, curling
iron, baby milk warmer, small frying pan
and many others.

SAMUEL MERWIN TELLS OF THE
RAILROAD PROJECT TO EXTEND

The new. Grand Trunk Pacific, the
biggest and the most interesting of
the new railroad projects, is to pass
through Edmonton on its way from
sea to sea. Edmonton, indeed, prac-
tically bisects the western half OF the
line Between here and Winnipeg,
there are eight hundred miles of prai-
RE; between here and Port Simpson,
the terminal point on the Pacific,
there are a thousand miles of noun
tains. On the prairie active construc-
ton work is today going forward;
contractors camps are swarming with
Galician laborers; district and assist
ant engineers are riding back and
forth over fiat prairie and rolling prai-
RE, sand hills and river bottoms; the
pile-driver and the steam shovel are
driving back the antelope, the coyote,
and the jack rabbit; the new line,
changing its form and substance be-
fore each new obstacle-now an en-
bankment, now an excavation, now a
trestle-is pushing ineXorably west
ward. This much is a plain story of
constructive work. The plans have
been worked out; the route has been
surveyed and staked The task of the
engineers in charge is mainly to see
that the contractors live up to the
specifications. Farther west il is diff

dozen minor ranges thrown in for good |
measure. This means that you would |
be lucky to get through with a maxi |

How It Was.

Wilson: Here's a problem for you,
old man: A donkey was tied to a rope
six feet long; eighteen feet away there
was a bundle of hay, and the donkey
wanted to get to that hay. How did
he manage it?
Sharp: I've heard that one be-
fore. You want me TO say, I give it
up and youn say, so did the other
donkey"
Wilson: Not at ALL"
Sharp:-"Then how did he get it,"
Wilson: Just Walked up to the
hay and ate IT,"
Sharp:-"But you said he was tied
to a rope six feet long"
Wilson: so he was. But you see,
the rope wasn't tied to anything.
Quite simple, isn't it?"
