The trouble was due to the failure
the electric motor at the pumping
plant to work properly. Fortunately
the reservoir was well filled when the
trouble started or the shortage would
have been felt worse than it was and
the general public could not have' been
kept in ignorance of the condition.
As it was the sprinklers were called
off the streets for half a day and ths
track at Round-Up park was compelled
to go waterless at a time when It was
needed the most. Everything is no

is not believed there ig any more dan

Lord Elgin Centenary.
London, July 20. Some of the Lon
don newspapers today recalled the fact
that this is the 100th anniversary of
the birth of the Earl of Elgin, who was
one of the most successful diplomats
in the history of Great Britain. As
governor general of Canada for eight
years from 1846, the quiet su.-ceaa of
his policy in meeting an unusually
sensitive condition, marked him for a
man of administrative tact amounting
to genius. He was but 34 years old
when appointed governor general, but
he had already had several years of
experience aa governor of Jamaica.
Long before his termo f seTled ex
pired he was the most popular man
in Canada, and had carried out a pol
icy that was so universally satisfac
tory that, when he returned to Eng
land, he was raised to the British
peerage, his former title having been
a Scottish one. Lord Elgin's death
occurred in 1863, while he was serv
ing as governor general of India.
