III the least to draw upon the re-
sources of Canada The business men
and inanciers are making every ef-
fort to keep apace with the rapidly
developing northwest and are using
every means to force the shipment of
the products over the Canadian trunk
lines and out through the seaports of
Montreal and Quebec, but in this
effort it is apparent they are failing
to accommodate the demands so that
the commerce is being carried over
the trunk lines of this country and
out through our seaports Such in
tercourse means the closer relation
ship between the states and the pro-
vinces of Canada in the northwest.
The Canadians realize that this tends
toward annexation and whether or
not Canada will be able to make good
is doubtful, as the inhabitants lack
the characteristic push and aggres-
siveness of Americans.
The comparison of Montreal and
Quebec marks vast difference in the
makeup of the people and policies
of the two cities. Mr.. SwigaH said
that Montreal resembles one of this
country's cities. The movement of
business was rapid and progressive
ness was strong; while on the other
hand Quebec was staid and quaint,
clinging to the old ways. The mar
ket place in that city gives a good
insight into the character and the
methods of the people. There the
farmers bring their products and
wares, carrying them in hand-baskets
and boxes. Quarters of beef, mutton,
and so forth, are sold from the mar
ket place instead of the farmer taking
them to the store. Nearly everything
that was ever produced on the farm
can yet be secured, such as wooden
socks and other articles made by
women. In Montreal the marketing
is very similar to this country.
Two things that attracted the at
tention of Mr.. Swigart were their
method of building and good roads.
The buildings are made mostly from
rock and are built strong and stable,
thus lasting for many more decades
than the fimsy and poorly construct
ed buildings that are so common here.
The government has charge of the
roads which are also built ADth such
care as to make them lasting and far
ahead of American roads.

Quebec, is known in nearly every part
of the world Thousands lame, Grip
pied and sick make pilgrimages to
this church every year to be cured OF
their ills. The Swigarts visited st.
Anne's and saw in testimony of the
marvellous cures claimed to be accom-
plished, hundreds OF crutches, canes
and walking sticks that are said to
have been discarded by those receiv-
ing the cure In addition, many hun
dreds of presents, sent by members
of other denominations who have
lacked faith but have been benefited
and cured nevertheless An electric
line runs to the church from Quebec
and the visitors and those seeking
help are so numerous that many car
loads OF people are carried back and
forth daily. Mr. Swigart related some
very interesting stories he had heard
from the inhabitants about the mar
velous cures effected.

CART said were very disappointing to

fact that jail is hardly appropriate

planning its removal with the build

of fitting monuments The Falls o

Alma has many prosperous manu-
featuring institutions within her cor
porate limits all of which tend to
promote the prosperity and business
welfare of the citizens of Alma.
Among these industries is the Cen
tral Michigan Produce Co., doing a
gross annual business in excess OF
one million dollars and whose busi-
ness this year promises to reach a
million and a quarter of dollars. a
visit to this plant and an inspection
of its refrigeration, creamery and
poultry departments would prove a
surprise to ninety-nine out of every
one hundred of our citizens. The
company was organized in 1901 with
Capital stock of 100000. The busi-
ness has had several different man
ayers during its existence, among
whom were T. A. Johnston, now OF
Los Angeles, California, L. d. Zeig-
ler, who came here in 1908 and was
succeeded in December, 1911, by the
present manager and superintendent,
Geo. II. Peery. Under the various
changes the business progressed rap
idly and during the present admins
tration has forged ahead in an amaz-
/ ing manner. AS result of this
growth and to care for the rapidly
increasing business, $4,000 will be in
vested in new buildings between this
and January 1st.
Work on the new buildings will
commence September first and will
include new feeding station with
capacity for 10000 chickens. This
building will be 5Ox150 feet and wAI
be especially constructed for fatten
ing fowls. The building will be elec-

IOAAVE UNIFORM RAIE
Electric Light and Power Users to
Have Opportunity OF tCOmparSiOn
WILL FURNISH INFORMATION
Plans Nearly Completed Providing Protection
from Private and Municipal Companies

About the first of next November
the users of electric power will have
an opportunity to make a compari-
son between the rates they pay and
those charged by other firms, as well
as comparison of rates between diff
ferent cities. Plans are practically
completed now whicht will provide
for establishing a uniform system of
filing rates with the state railroad
commission, the scheme having been
worked out during the summer by a
committee consisting of representa-
tives of the largest power companies
and r. r. Darwin, rate expert of the
commission and chairman Of the COM
mittee and it is expected that it will
be in full force in about two months.
With the spread of the network Of
power wires over the manufacturing
section of Michigan, and the rapid
increase in the use of electric power,
the matter of rates become equally
important to railway rates. 1t is
pointed out that within the last few
years the electric power business has
developed in a wonderful way to
meet the great demand caused by the
growth of manufacturing in this state
particularly automobile manufacture.
ing and kindred lines. The commit
tee has endeavored to work out a
practical, thorough system of rate
filing which will meet every require
ment, and after that it will be up to
the railroad commission to take up
questions of reasonableness of rates
as complaints are filed.
