B. Mothersill, Con- tractor, Erecting a Small House on Fair Grounds Which Will Be Presented to Rotary Club for Chari- table Purposes at Close of Fair -- Best of Materials Being Used In a combined effort, the Osha- wa Lumber Company and T. B. Mothersill, contractor, are erecting one of the finer exhibits at the Oshawa Fair. The exhibit will take the form of a small house, which will be permavently con- structed and will be presented to the Rotary Club for charitable purposes at the close of the fair. The Oshawa Lumber Company are giving all the materials nec- essary for the construction of the house, and T. B. Mothersill is sup- plying all of the necessary labor to build it, so that when it is pre- sented to the Rotary Club it will be given absolutely free of charge. It will then be available to the Club to give to any needy small family as housing quarters. . The best of materials are being used in the copstruction of the house. The exterior will be the highest grade of claphoarding, and the dwelling will be roofed with Bird asphalt shingles. The doors and window frames are all attractively made, and the interior is lined with Ten-Test with panel interior finish. A fir floor is being laid. The house will actu- ally cost the two companies a total of about $500 in material and la- bor, it is stated by a member of 'the Mothersill firm. \ The building is 12 by 16 feet in size and would make a very accep- table residence for, perhaps, an aged couple who have not a home of their own and are in poor cir- cumstances, or it might be used by a workingman with a smali | family, in need of Mving quarters. | After it is allotted by the Rotary | Club and moved to its permanent | location, the house will be wired for electricity. During the Oshawa Fair it win be used as the exhibit of the Osha- wa Lumber Company and the T. B. Mothersill * contracting firm. The Oshawa Lumber Company will feature Ten-Test in their exhibit, while an attractive sign states that the building was erected by the Mothersill men in little over eight hours. Five men were employed in its construction.

E DESTROYS BARN, LIVESTOCK, CROPS $20,000 Loss as Blaze Wipes Out One of Best Barns in This District Six Horses, One Colt, Two Thoroughbred Shorthorn Bulls, Five Calves, Trapped in Flames--Implements Lost, Also 70 Loads of Hay and Entire Grain Crop, Includ- ing 200 Bushels of Fancy Peas -- Horses Were in the Stable for First Time During Summer -- Show Pony Escapes, Having Been Taken to Stables at Alexandra Park for Oshawa Fair -- Loss Partially Covered By Insurance -- Lightning Bolt Strikes Barn During Last Night's Severe Electric Storm With a loss estimated at least to be $20,000, fiye caused by a terrific lightning bolt, last night completely destroyed the large barn containing valuable livestock and the entire season crop of hay and grain, on "Ryland Farm", Taunton, owned by W. J. Leask, one of the most prominent farmers in the district sur- rounding Oshawa. The fire which was one of the most disastrous occurring in the farming community of East Whitby and Darling- ton in years, started about nine o'clock following the worst crash during the storm. So quickly did the flames spread that when first noticed it was practically impossible to attempt to save any- thing. Trapped in the blazing building were six horses and one colt, two yearling thoroughbred shorthorn bulls, five calves and about one hundred hens, all of which perished. The only stock saved being nine sheep housed in a building at the north end of the large barn. These were huddled together near the door try- ing to escape, and when the door was thrown open, fled to safety. The horses and other stock, however, could not be reached, the heat becoming so intense that the stable could not be approached within several yards, A unique feature in regard to the loss of the horses was the fact that this was the first night that they have been confined to the stables, the foreman doing this to shelter the animals from the impending storm. The milking cattle were all out in pasture and therefore escaped. Mr, Leask was seated in his lib- rary when the crash came discuss- ing with one of his assistants mat- ters pertaining to the farm, A very few minutes after the crash Mr, Leask went out side and as soon as he stepped from the door saw the flames belching forth from the barn, Even then it was too late to accomplish anything, the flames having made such rapid headway. In discussing the fire with a Times representative, Mr, Leask was not prepared to say just at what sec- tion he believed the building had been struck, The flames, he said, seemed to have enveloped the en- tire interior of the barn + at the same time, and it was only by a daring effort that the door of the smaller barn was thrown open al- lowing the sheep to get away, About seventy loads of hay were housed in the barn together with from 70 to 75 acres of grain, con- sisting of barley,-oats, mixed grain waiting to be threshed and about two hundred bushels of fancy peas valued at about $1.85 a bushel, Im. plements including a seed drill, two sets of sleighs, two cutters, all har- ness, plows, a fanning mill, wag- ons, a truck and a hayrack were also lost, The barn {itself one of the finest in the farming community in the district, measured 200 by 60 feet, not including the smaller barn at the north end of it, It is situated on lot 34, con, 6 of the Township of Darlington, about two miles northeast of Taunton, The only feature about the fire' of a redeeming nature was the fact that the pony owned by Miss Eleanor Shepherd, stepdaughter of Mr, W. J. Leask, was not in the burning builcing, having been tak- en yesterday to the stables at Alex- andra Park, here, where it is to be shown at Oshawa Fair. This pony has won numerous prizes at Toronto shows. It was their in- tention not to bring the animal to the Fair here until today, but were persuaded to do so by a friend. Otherwise the pony would have met the same fate as the other horses, The farm has been in the Leask family for many years. Mr, W. J. Leask is son of Mr, James Leask, who resides with him. The latter is now 79 years of age and was one of the early settlers in that district, He is enjoying good health and when the Times' representative called last night he was resting and had not been disturbed. Up to that time he had not learned of the loss Mr. Leask, senior, has the distinc- tion of not having missed a single year attending the Canadian Na- tional Exh$bition. He was present at the first exhibition fifty years ago and has done so ever since. This year he was a guest at the C.N.E. directors' luncheon by spe- cial invitation, Mr. Leask told The Times that he carried insurance of $500 on the livestock, but he coula no" say exactly to what extent the building or contents were protect- ed. He, however, stated that the insurance carried would not begin to cover the loss and thought that 14 KILLED, MANY ARE INJURED IN CZECHO SLOVAKIA WRECK (Cable Serviec to the Times The Canadian Press) Prague, Czecho-Slovakia, Sept. 11.--Fourteen persons were kill. ed and many were seriously ine jured today in a railway collision at Zajecei in the south central secs tion of the country, TORONTO POLIGE 10 WELCOME AID In Solving Mystery in Con- nection With Ambrose Small (By Canadian Press) Toronto, Sept. 11.--Commenting today on the announcement made by Dr. Maxmillian Langsner, Vienna criminologist, regarding the Ambrose Small case, Inspector of Detectives William Wallace stated that the To- ronto police would welcome any as- sistance toward a solution of the mystery of the disappearance, "If he has a solution and tells what he knows about it, we shall be glad to act on whatever he gives us," the inspector said. "In the meantime we have heard nothing from him and can do nothing, but it seems strange that he should make the announce- ment, now that he has solved the mystery, and not tell the whole solu- tion," Wallace added.
