section, a grave question arose as to
how the boys were to know when to
make it home" After some discus
sion the packing houses solved the
problem by agreeing to blow the whis-
tie at nine o'clock.
All was we'll, and when the loud
blast of the big steam siren, which
can be heard forty miles on a clear
day, sounded at nine o'clock the boys
scampered home. II they did not the
policeman took them to the station
and they were warned never again to
be out after curfew" The women were
satisfied and all went we'll.
But the boys grew up and neglected
to Impress on their younger brothers
a dread of the curfew The brothers
did not scamper home at the sound,
and the people began to think little
of 1t.
Meantime the housewives had be-
come accustomed to regulate their
clocks by the sound, and at nine
O'Clock they went to see If the time
piece lost or gained. The habit spread,
and one by one the men grew accus-
toned to regulate their watches by
the whistle. Now every night the
watch of each man who works in the
city comes out of his pocket almost
by force of habit at the first sound of
the whistle.

City of Winnipeg Owns Its Utilities

w INNIPEG. Man.-Before the close
w of the present year this city will
be looked upon as the greatest ex-
ponent Of public ownership on the
American continent Its investment
in public utilities is now more than
$30,000,000.
1t is nearly a quarter Of a century
since the city council laid the founda-
ton of municipal ownership by buy
ing out the Winnipeg Water Works
company and establishing a municipal
plant. So successful did the venture
prove that when the city decided to
lay asphalt pavements some years
later it was decided to install a mu-
nicipal asphalt plant and the many
miles Of pavement in this city have
been laid by it.
Trouble with the Winnipeg Electric
company, which controls the street
railway franchise. gas. electric light
and power franchise, resulted in the
city voting 100000 for a municipal
power plant. Out on the Winnipeg
river. IS miles from the city. a plant
Is now nearing completion. The near
completion of this plant and the pros
poets that the city would build its
own street railway system, led the
Winnipeg Electric company to sell out
to the city. The purchase price is
S18,0O0,00O.
Winnipegs telephone system is also
conducted under public ownership. for
