Yesterday, after a night of flood waters, it remained fairly quiescent, but to- wards evening the water began to rise again, and by seven o'clock it was necessary to have men with réd lanterns on the road to warn motorists that the river had again risen to such a height that the wa- ter was flowing in a rushing tor- rent over the roadway. At the bridge to the west of the village of Pickering for a e"stance of some twenty or thirty feet, the water covered the road to a dep.n of gev- eral inches, but the flood was not so serious as it was on the previ- ous night, and while traffic had to proceed with great caution, there 'was no actual hold-up, Building Braced The floods of the last two days, fortunately, have done little dam- age to the property in the vicinity of the creek, The refreshment booth of A. H, Cook, wnicn stands close to the bridge, was in danger again last night, but, being sup- ported by special braces, it with- stood the strain of the ice which was piled up against rt to a height of six to eight feet, There is still some ice in the river, and that near the dam has not yet gone down, . this being cited by residents of the vicinity as the chicf cause for the flooding, Mr, Cook stated to The Times this morning that his prop- erty had suffered about two hun- DENSE FOG SERIOUSLY HINDERED TRAFFIC Traffic between Oshawa and To- ronto last night was greatly ham- pered by a dense fog which hung over the low-lying seciions of the road, This, coupled with the flood- ing of the highway at Pickering and the wet surface of the road, made driving decidedly unpleasant, and some motorists who started off towards Toronto turned back rather than run the risk of accident in the fog, which at certain points, was al- most impenetrable, The fog hung close to the road, and in the low spots was so thick that it was im- possible to see even the edge of tho pavement, In spite of the conditions, no accidents have as yet been re- ported, MRS, E, SPARROW DIES Mrs, Elizabeth Sparrow, aged 86, died at the home of her grand- son William Murley, 91 Nassau sireet, yesterday afternoon, Fun- eral services are to be conducted at the Luke Burial Company's Parlours tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, The cortege will leave Oshawa following the service for Belleville, Interment will take place in Belleville Cemetery, WINNIPEG GRAIN Winnipeg, Mar, 15,--~Wheat, May, 3-8 to 3-4 higher at 131 3-4 to 132 1.8; July, 7-8 to 5-8 higher at 134 to 133 7-8; Oct, 3-8 to 1-2 higher at 132 7-8, Oats--May, 1-8 higher at 56 5-8; July, 1.8 higher at 57 1.2, dred dollars damage in the spring floods this year, and that he was taking all precautions possible to safeguard his building against a further rise in the water levels and from any future assault by the large cakes of ice which are pil~ ed against it, : This morning .there seemed lit- tle likelihood of any immediate danger from the swollen creek, as the ice is melting rapidly, and the only fear is that further neavy rains might make matters worse, Other creeks between Oshawa and Pickering are somewhat swollen, but show no signs of causing seri- ios trouble, Other Creeks pwollen g The Oshawa Creek has also been overflowing its bank in sever- al places, and yesterday morning was far above its usual levels, So far, however, there has been no re- port of any damage caused by the rise of this stream, CITY FOOD SUPPLY OF FINE QUALITY, SAYS INSPECTOR All Producers and Retailers Are Observng Care MILK IS GOOD Butter Fat and Sediment Tests Show It Is Above Requirements Particularly fine conditions in con- nection with the milk, meat and gen- eral food supplies to the city, were found by Veterinary and Food In- spector Dr, C, S, Dickerson, accord- ing to his Feb, report, Milk tests were all above standard requirement in butter fat, and cream in many cases much above the standard, The per- centage of diseased animals at the slaughter houses was also low, and general food supplies in stores, etc, were found satisfactory, As one interesting experiment, one sample of cereal cream eleven days old was sent to Toronto for a test, and was still sweet, This, said the inspector, was significant of proper pasteurizing and handling of the city's milk, Sediment tests of the milk also improved during the month, and showed cleanliness on the part of the farmers producing it. The report was: Conditions at Dairies Both dairymey seem actively in- terested in keepfhg down their bac- terial counts and during the month some exceptionally. low counts have been obtained, and at any time where a higher count was reported the dairyman invariably has succeeded in materially reducing it in the follow- ing count, i Pasteurization charts showing the temperature at which the milk was held, and length of time held, were collected and handed over to the Department of Health, These charts (Continued on page 5) HAVANA FIRES MAY SPOIL SUGAR CROP Havana, Mar, 15.--Fires in Cuba's sugar cane fields appeared today likely to cause a covsider- able reduction in the islands' cane harvest this year, A telegram from Central Violeta said its crop would be reduced from 550,000 to 475,000 bags due to fires on various plantations.
