ldea OF wat niagara rails might be
come if all of the water power from
the roaring falls was harnessed and
put to work.
AS all the South Americans hero
following the Mexican mediation con-
ferences are enchanted by the falls,
so is Servent. He looks across tn
river and the rising mists of the wa
ters plunging from their great height
end IS enraptured. Outside of being
the champion cheese town of the
world, Servent believes the city would
become as big as London were the
falls harnessed.
"It. is wonderful" Servent declare
over and over again as he looked UP
on the falls. Greater than London
the city might be proud, so proud to
see city like that grow up over
here. And cheese, cheese, ah-enough
to supply the world"
Senior Servents reference to Mia
CARA Falls, Canada, as cheese city
is along slightly different lines from
remarks that have come from other
sources. There is only one place where
victim of the mediation conference
may feel at home and in his element
in this section. That is on Goat
Island" Whether there were ever
any goats on Goat Island does no5
enter into the question, but when
squad of Americans is seen there it
may be taken that for the time be-
ing the island is we'll named.
Some one suggested that they do
not employ clerks, bartenders, cab
drivers or other such persons in this
Part of Canada. They have only ex-
pert appraisers. 'Look 'em over and
get all you can," is the motto From
early morn to dewy eve the chief
sport pastime and amusement is trail
ing some American coin to his Lair
and transplanting it to a Canadian
strong box.
1t costs 10 cents to ride across the
International bridge joining the shores
of the United States and Canada. It's
nickel each way, whether you walk
or ride. You buy round trip ticket
which is good for only one day, so
If you walk one way and do not re-
turn your walk will cost you 10 cents.
With newspaper men and those con-
nected with the Peace Conference
making repeated trips back and forth
it has been harvest time for the bridge
company.
Everything else is in proportion,
but there are exceptions. Those en-
gaging in the same amusements as
the hotel keepers and others, name
ly yanking tail feathers from the
eagle and shaking out dollars, are
shown some consideration. The ma
tives don't stick each other as hard
as they concertedly back the foreign
er or tourist into corner and ap-
ply the harpoon.
Frederick w. Lehman and JUS
tice Lamar, the American mediation
delegates were initiated into the mys-
teries of the 10-cent toll bridge i'm
on their arrival here. After
the first trip to the Canadian
side Judge Lehman probably thought
Of thn EoIc h.sI i,, r
one about the hotel had succeeded
in getting book of passes for the
bridge. Lehman and Lamar came
over the first time on these passes.
On starting back the man with the
passes had disappeared.
"Book, book!" Lehman called
loudly as he laughingly reminded the
justice of the bridge ahead. The book
was not produced and the representa-
tives of the United States paid.
Little Romulo Naon, 11-year- old
son of the Argentine ambassador, is
the pet-of the Clifton hotel, where
his father is serving as one of the
Romulo speaks three Ian
guages-Spanish, English and French
and learned to speak English be-
fore he did Spanish. He has been
posed and re-posed by photographers.
Within few days he evidently got
the hang of the Canadian way. When
asked by one camera man to pose, he
replied:
eyes certainly, on condition that
you give me one Of the pictures"
Romulo's particular cronies are Rob
ert f. Rose, representative of the
state department, and the newspaper
men. Young Naon has been formal
ly introduced to the American dele
gates and all others connected with
the conferences. When his father is
host at luncheon Romulo is always
with him. His chief concern is wheth-
er his father is making a speech
