Six and possi- bly eight Canadians will be in the final stage tomorrow. Six sure of places include Lieut. Burke, C. M, 8. Hawkins, Toronto, and Cadet John Hunter, Hamilton," Alex Parnell of Verdun, Que., vet- eran of the Canadians at Bisley, won a substantial prize today--no less than a ten ton truck, The truck was one of the "extra prizes' which the National Rifle Association awards for the regular seven shot competitions with service rifles, but marksmen can shoot for only after making an additional entry fee. When the Canadian Press represen- tative told Parnell of the good for- tune, he was just lying down at five bundred yards firing a distance in the second stage of the King's Prize, Blinking through his familiar green shooting spectacles, the Cana- dian just wondered whether the Do- minfon Rifle Association would in- clude the cost of a truck alongwith cartage expenses for the Kolapore and McKinnon cups, which are also to travel to Canada. Another ex- tra prize was a case of Canadian whiskey which went to Sgt. Maj. K. Dewar. He is a Scotsman, but de- spite his name, is a teetotaler. RAILWAY EMPLOYEE IS KILLED AT WORK London. Ont..

The bacteria count is particularly low, much lower than that of water sup- plied in Toronto and numer grt other Ontario cities. In connection with these tests it has incidentally been brought to light that certain parts of the Osh- awa lakeshore are dangerous places to bathe from a health point of view. Water taken from the lake near the point where the two creeks converg was found to be highly con- taminated and the same condition, though less marked exists in the yicinity of the filtration plant. Oth- er parfs of the lakefront were found to be safe for bathing. To determine whether or not water is likely to be contaminated with communicable diseases such as typhoid, the baecteriologist tests for the presence of the colon bacillus, a type of baeteria of which there are countless milliofis present in fe- cal matter. The typhoid bacillus, if presen will be jin much smaller pumbers 4nd consequently much harder "to find. For this reasom the bacteriologist searches for the colon bacillus. If it is present the chances of the typhoid organism al- so being present are enhanced. Bacteria other than the colon ba- cillus which is harmless, are pres- ent in mormal water. As is the case with milk, much concerning the purity of a given sample of water can be determined by finding the number of bacteria contained. Water taken from the well through which the Oshawa supply passes was found last week to contain 20 bacteria per cubic centimetre. After pass- ing through fle four filters and be- ing subjected to chlorination the woter as drawn at the city hall tap was found to contain only 8 bac- teria per cubic centimetre. And these are the figures which the provincial health department say indicate water exceptional guality. of FOUND LIFELESS SEATED AT WHEEL OF HIS AUTO Fort Wiliiam, Ont., July 11--Sitting at the wheel of his automoble on the main highway, ten miles from Fort William, Joha Dickie, 51, bailiff of the local third division court, was fqund dead today.

Modern arenas suitably equipped and provided with artificial ise plants require considerable financing and no matter how real the needs of the city for such an establishment may be, there can be nothing accomplished un- funds are forthcom- ing.

Championship fad Prospects for New Arena Here Seem as Far Away as Ever ¢ [teams are not trained in tiny rinks where the ice surface is inadequate and other accommodation far from satis- factory, and the argument that Osh- awa should first produce a winning team and then build an arena is wide open to challenge. A first class arena would enable the present teams to give their best hockey and to develop into aggregation which would be a power in hockey circles. Ii the city is to have an arena for next season construction work will have to be started within a few weeks. hose who are promoting the projec- ted arena realize this and are endea- vouring to have something definite arranged within the next two weeks. As was announced many weeks ago, plans for this arena have been pre- pared. They call for a rink similar to the Ravina rink and the Varsity arena in Toronto and for an ise surface 190 by 80 feet. The seating capacity would be 4.144 and for important fixtures it would be possible to pack almost 6,000 into the building. Dressing rooms for lady and gentlemen skaters and for hockey teams are included in the plans and at one end there would be a lobby and at another a rifreshment stand.
