CONGRESSMAN TEN EYCK 

WOULD BUY CANADA LANDS 

That Great Britain sell and cede to the United States all the territory of Canada south of the center of the St. Lawrence river and St. Lawrence bay in payment of the interest owed this country on the $10,000,000,000 war loan is the solution of the St. Lawrence power problem, offered in a bill presented in the House Tuesday afternoon by Representative Peter G. TenEyck of Albany, and which, it is said, has the backing of the New York delegation in congress. 

The territory ceded to this country, if the intentions of the bill are carried out, would include New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward island and other islands of the gulf of St. Lawrence. 

In commenting on the purpose of the bill, Mr. Ten Eyck said: “Electricity is controlled at the storage battery. The storage battery is where the power is generated and the ground on which the plants and factories are located. We could not spend money to develop electricity for a battery we had no control over.”

WESTERLO 

Quite a little excitement was caused on Thursday morning, when I. H. Arnold’s Ford truck, which was parked in front of his house, got tired of waiting for him to come out, so thought it would make the trip to Westerlo alone. But after gliding along nicely for a short distance, the truck became bewildered and ran off the bridge into the ditch, disabling it quite badly. Fortunately no one was hurt. Well, cars will run away as well as horses.
