[AY IT PLEASE YOUR Ro AL -IIGItNESS-"
We, IIis Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Members of the Commons of
Canada in Parliament assembled, desire to approach }'our Royal Highness with an
expression of the deep regret with which we have learned that your official connec-
tion with this country is about to cease.
We beg to assure Your Royal IIighncss of the deep appreciation with which

has always inspired your actions and ha.s ever been associated with your career.
The Canadiau people will not fail to cherish a happy remembrance of the deep
and practical interest which Your Royal IIighness has invariably manifested in liter-
ature, art and industrial pursuits in the Dominion, as well as in all philanthropic and

task and duty of possessing and developing this portion of the Empire.
Any acknowledgement of Your loyal llighness's important services in this regard

In the appointment of Your Royal lIighness we have not failed to perceive our
Sovereign's recognition of the growing importance of this Dominion and his solici-
tude for all that concerns its welfare.
We venture to hope that. when Yonr Royal Ilighness resio-ns your trust into the
hands of the King. you will a.ssure Ilis Majesty of the unalterable loyalty and devotion
of the Canadian people to IIis ][ajesty's Throne and person, of their abiding affection
for the motherland and of their firm resolve to accomplish their part in the main-
tenanee and upbuilding of our Great Empire.
We trust that Your Royal Highness may have many years of usefulness befon
you in which to continue your work on behalf of that Empire and that you will pro
serre, in the years to come, a kindly recollection of Canada and its people.
In bidding farewell to Your Royal Highness and to the Duchess of Connaught

with the conent of the committee, be printed and sent out as an authentic repox%
vouched for by the IIydro-Elcctric Commission, so that there could not be any doubt
as to its accuracy and reliability.
]V[r. ROBB.--At what price can e]ectrlc power be fnrnished to the farmer who does
not need a great deal of power
Vr. WlLSON.--[r. Purcell can take that up and tell you exactly what it costa
In the twnship of East Flambero for a half horse power it costs $37.20 per year;
for one horse power it costs $50.40 and for two horse power $78.80. For three horse
power $103.20 per year. The cest varies according to locality.
]kir. II.oBB.--That is for a mininmm of one horse power
Mr. WLsO.--Yes, we will ell him from one-half horse power upwards.
Ir. ]h,nB.--Wlmt is the cost of developing it
Mr. WLSON.--Well, the Commission buy power at Niagara at $9 per horse
power, aml it has to be carried say, to the wn of Dundas, costing there $15; you
understand the expen of earwing it from Niagara Fall. to the locality where it
is used has to be added to that $9, that is what you might call the freight on it, in
vhieh is iueluded interest, sinking fund, depreciation, operation and maintenance
charges. The farmer gets it at lhe actual cost of delivery, nothing further is
elmrged. If you will now allow lr. Epenehied to speak he will tN1 you aut the
amount of power purelmsed and the amount lest in transmission.
Mr. A,ENe.You suggested that the l lydro-Eleetric Commission contemplat
deeloping its owu power in seine eases; vould it have been of advantage to the
l lydro-Eleetric Commission had the control of thee water powers been retain and
handed over to the Commission for development for its own purest]
Ir. VILSON.--I do not thi there can be any doubt about it, the province of
Ontario gave away a great asset when they gave that power at the Falls over to the
parties that hold it at the present time, and let us hope that no more water powers
will be given away either by Provincial or Dominion Governments, but that they
will be conserved for the people of Canada.
r. F. F. ESPENSCIIIED, Assistant Enginr, Ontario IIydro-Electric Commi.ion.--
Mr. Chairman and Gentlcn of the CommitS: It affor me yew eat pleasure
to appear before you this morning and I propose to give you briefly the histow of
the Hydro-Electric enterprise, as far as the Hydro-Electric Power Coission of
Ontario is concerned. It is ve interesting and I will not take ve much of your
time in discu.ssing it. About eleven years ago a humor of micipalities, some
half dozen of them, in the central pa of the province of Ontario, chiefly, Toronto,
Guelph, Brantford, London and some her smaller municipalities, conceived the
idea that they should be able to secure Niagara power at reasonable rat. At that
time they all had small services, generated by steam in most cases and their rates
were exorbitant. These people came enamoured with the power at the Fall.s and
conceived the idea of getting it for themselves; as no one would bring it them
they thought they would endeavour to bring it themselves. An Act was passed
about 1903 empowering these municipalities to appoint a commission to look in this
matter and to report the municipalities on the feasibility of bringing to them
Niagara power. That Commission consumed some two or three years in looking
into he question in all its aspects, preparing estates of the cost of transmission
and what the Niagara power could be develod for. That re was very interest-
ing and quite voluminous, and it was made up by a number of prominent engrs
acting in conjunction with this Commi.ssion. The Coission was, I might say,
not a technical commission, but it was composed of busins men from the various
municipalities, among hem was the Hon. Adam Beck, who is sti with the Com-
mission as chairman. That rort aroused a great deal of interest and investigation
end produced remarkable results, so much so that he projt ban to ow by leaps

THE PRODUCTION AND MARKETING 01 ' LIVE STOCK.
I[OUSE OF COMMON.%
COMMITTEE Ri)O.l No. 105,
TIIt'ISDA', February _oil, 191.
The Select Standing Committee on Agriculture and Colonization met here at
11 o'clock a.m., the Chairman, Mr. Sexsmith, presiding.
The CH.mAN: We have with us to-day ][r. John Bright, Live Stock Commis-
sioner of the Department of Agriculture, who will address us on " The Production
and ]Iarketing of Live Stock."
:Mr. ]3amlT: :Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, 1 do not wish to take up too much
of your time, and do not intend to speak very long. The subject 1 am asked to deal
with concerns the production and marketing of live stock. .t the outset I might
say that the live stock industry in Canada to-day is, perhaps in the most prosperous
condition in which it has so far been found. The farmer in any part of 'anada wh,,
is following mixed farming is obtaining a better return for his labour than ever
before; and from the farmers' and breeders' standpoint it is not necessary to lie
awake at night worrying over the high cost of living, for they are now getting some-
thing for their work.
In considering the question of the production and marketing of live stock it is
perhaps as well to divide the subject into two divisions, horses and live stock
generally, llorses are not affected by any particular combination of men or corpor-
ations for the regulation of prices. The price of horses is regulated more perhaps
than anything else in Canada by the law of supply and demand and the state of the
money market. The horse is used as a beast of burden, and the price paid for him
is affected by the money market in an indirect way; tightness of moncy interferes
with the initiation and continuation of public and private works; it restricts the
enterprise of private individu.als and corporations, as well as Governments, who are
not likely to spend as much money when it is hard to get or, in some cases, as it wa
a few years ago, when we were unable to get it at all; work at such periods has to be
curtailed, the demand for horses consequently slackens and that materially affects
the price of horses. I recall as an illustration the incident only a few years ago
when owing to the tightness of money--perhaps you gentlemen as members of Parlia-
ment will not remember itbut as a farmer I retain a vivid recollection 6f the
tightness, which fortunately did not last very long, and the consequent curtailment
of enterprise, public and private. I recollect how the horse market was affected
then. Going out to one of the best horse markets we had in Canada up to that time.
a market that absorbed quite a number of dray horses, we found in that crisis we
could hardly sell a horse at all, even though there was, as at present, a scarcity of
]rorses in the country. I want to say, and I say it advisedly, that to-day in Canada
the very large majority of farmers have not enough horses to do their own work;
that is actually the case, and in many thousands of insta'nces they are wanting
horses very, very badly and are unable to develop their work as they would like to
because of the insufficient supply. We are up against that condition of affairs; and
there is this other condition that the horse cannot be considered in the same class

APPENDIX No. 2
Q. I see that 25,) copies of the bulletin on the beef industry ha'e been sent
out?--A. No, the beef iudustry bulletin was issued when the mailing list was not as
large, and there were sufficient copies to cover all the names. We now have a new
edition of that bulletin, but we are simply sending copies to those who apply for them.
By the C]alrma:
Q. I[ow do you ex.pect to educate the farmer We have 250.000 farmers in
Ontario alone. You send out ten or twelve thousand bulletins on tlle beef industry
t) men already directly interested in it. You write only to the men you have on your
mailing list and ask tbcm to indicate the different bullctius they want, aud if they
say they want bulletins on the beef industry you send these to them. I und.rstood
you to say that you had 25,(00 naanes on the list, but that does not iudicate that you
send out 25,000 bulletins?--A. When a publication is being printed by any of our
branches, they ascertain from us what number will be required to cover the list and
o provide a surplus for responding to applications. Sutcient is always printed to
cover a complete list with o surplus.
By Mr. Arlhurs:
Q. ][,w often is the ]i.t revised- A. The list is constantly under revision.
Q. ]Iow (lo you keep the miling llst up to (late Do you consult the members
ef the various constituencies--A. When publication is returned " Not called for"
that name is taken out of he list. and if a number, five, six or more, are returned
from a t oce, the list ,f names is sent to the postmaster asling for a corre't list
and for correct addresses, if he has them, of those that have been returned.
Q. Would it not be better to have a list provid by the ,tary of the local
acultural ieties, who could give a list of their active membership at any timel
I thin that could bc very esi]y g,t--A. That is a suggestion that might very well
be considered.
Mr. I[kNlX'A: It would be very intperfcct at that.
By Mr. Best:
Q. You have not explained to us yet how you get thi mailing li.-t, fr,)m what
source you get the names of the parties t whom you send these publicatious?--A.
The mailing lists have been gradually developed within the different braucbc: that
is to say, the Experilnental Farms, through their correspomlcnce and requests,
developed a mailing list of about 50,000. They were made up by personal applica-
tions, by requests of members, and in various ways, and that constituted the origin
of the list at the present time. As explained, the people apply. We fiared out that
the newspapers that receive these press notices have two million readers, and requesta
that come from them are supplied with a copy of the bulletin desired, and this card.
These cards, when returned, are put on the list. )Sy own view of the matter has been
that, in these days of so much printed matter, if a publication is sent to a person who
has not asked for it, in an envelope teat has anything like an official look, he is very
apt not to read it.
The CItAmA: ot in the country districts at all. That may be the case with
Civil Servants who get bulletins by the thousand. But ninety per cent of the
armers read anything of that nature they can get. They are not overwhelmed with
reading material.
By Mr. Wright:
Q. There is a great deal in what my hon. friend says. There should be a system
which would reach the great farming community. I did ]ot quite gather what these

"" Physiological effects of tobacco and alkaloids. One of the commonest effects
of over indulgence in tobacco is a chronic inflammation of the throat and upper part,
of the respiratory passages, leading to hoarseness and excessive secretion of the mucous
gland. This is ex],laiued by the constant application to the throat of au irritant,
alkaline vapor and is probably not due to the H*eeific act[oil of nicotine. A smilar
irritated condition of the tongue is frequently met with, more especially wheu the
hot vapour is directed especially o one part, as in pipe smoking, and it is sometime
stated that the constant irritation flus produced renders the tongue and lip m,,re
liable to cancerous disease. Dyspepsia, want of appetite and consucnt loss of flesh
may also be explained by the local irritation produced by the nicotine swallowed in
the saliva. A common result of the abuse of tobacco is palpitation and irregularity
of the hea which has as yet received no explanation. Another important symptom
is dimness of vision and imperfect accommodation of the lens for distance which may
go on to complete bliness in one or both eyes. In early cases, fle retina often
appears pale, and if the condition persists atrophy of the optic nerve may result. The
hearing is sometimes affected by excessive snmking, but the symptoms are. indistinct
and variable. ervous symptoms, such as tremor, exaggeration of the reflexes, head-
ache and giddiness are sometimes developed in workmen in tobacco factories, but
they do not sm to be induced by smokiug or chewing tobacco, though depression,
muscular weakness and giddiness are sometimes complained of. In the great majority
of cases of chronic tobacco smoking, the symptoms disappear on abandoniug the
habit or even on restricting the daily consumption. A series of subjective and even
objective symptoms are said to be indued in neurotic subjects by the udden with-
drawal of tobacco.
