A company lias been organized to give this little town the desired public utility iu tlie shape of\ngood water and plenty of it It is\nsaid that Mr. George \V. Clinton\npaymaster of the Canadian collieries (Dunsmuir) Ltd. is tlie promoter of lhe company. If such be the\ncase then all doubt as to the success\nof tlie movement will lie removed.\nWe understand that considerable\ndetail work remains to be completed\nin connection witli tlie formation of\ntlie company. Hut they control the\nsource cf supply. The head of tlie\noffice will be in tiie town of Courtenay and the system will be installed and water turned on by the ist\nof June i6i4,\nTlie above is taken from the\nCumberland Islander of last week\nand wc are afraid our neighbour\nhas found a mare's nest. Last\nyear the Coitrtenay.Waterworks Co.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwas organized and after considerable trouble secured Mr. D, Kil-\npatrick's water rights and a few\nacres from Mr. Millard where the\nsprings start. The citizens of\nCourtenay opposed the granting of\nthis water record unless their in-\ntrests were properly guarded and\nthe record has not yet been granted.\nThe fact that the Government will\nnot give them permission lo run the\npipe line down tlie wheel track of\ntlie Lake Trail road is also keeping\ntlie Company back. There is no\nquestion but that a waterworks\nsystem would be a good tiling for\nCourtenay, hut we do not need it\nbadly enough th let the Cumberland\nwaterworks company step in and\ngobble it up when we can just as\nwell own it ourselves. There's no\nuse denying tlie fact any lunger, we\nmust incorporate and we must do it\nat once or we will find ourselves in\nthe same predicament as Cumber-\nlaud is today in tiie grasp ni the\nsame companies and bled to death.\nH is reported tli.it this company\nintends tu divert part of its dim-\nCarpet Ends\n54 inches iu length InTtipestrv, Brussels\nami Wiltons (nun 75e. to $1,50 each\n20 lb. sack Granulated Sugnrjji.as\nCurrants, Raisins aud Sultanas, io\noz, pkg, io,- each\nAll Spices at ioc per tin\nlifgll Biking Powder, ui oz. tin,\n15c each\nCutting Tomatoes, 2 1-2 lb tins,\n2 for 25c\nFairbanks cottoline 4 lb, tin 50c\nCarpet Squares\nSamples 54 Inches square from 81.nu tu\nMorning Glory Coffee\nWe ate clearing this out at 3 lib\ntins for $1.00 to make room for ;t\ngood article\nWinnipeg prices for boots and shoes\ndry goods aud hardware at\nLAZO\nberland supply through Mine 7 and\nMine 8, then down to courteuay\nand comox.\nWhat will our citizens, who\nhave been opposing incorporation,\nthink of themselves if they let tin's\noctopus get its tenaclcs fastened\nupon us?

The\ndecrease ln the amount derived from\nthese usual sources Of vegetable tanning is being met by introducing new\nmaterials and chemical substitutes.\nThere appears to be a limit, however,\nto which substitutes van be successfully carried, and Ihe question ot a future supply ot vegetable tanning Is\nbecoming a mutter tor serious consideration. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nacsay\nIdeal Silver\nCream Is n scientific preparation\nspecially adapted\nfor cleaning all\nkinds of SILVER\n& GOLD PLATE.\nMIRRORS, CUT\nGLASS, or WINDOWS, H Is n\npurely vegetable\ncompound and\ndoes not contnln\nany Injurious sub.\nstances.

At present the noises principally complained of ure automobile\nbuses, traction engines, bnrrel organs,\nshouting news vendors, shouting conl\nhawkers, shouting milk vendors, motor\nhooting, cob whistling, street singing\nnnd prayer meetings and preachings iu\ntho squares und nt the street corners.\nWith exl ended powers tho police\neoulil do a very great deal to remedy\nthe nuisanco, but they hnve not tho\npowers.
