Vol42, No. 4 Fleslierton, Ont., June 3O 1921 , . ! i DURHAM Tho blacksmithiiig business on Lamb- ton street, conducted here for the past thirty two years by Mr. R. Aljoe, Jr., has been disposed of by him Jo P. J. McLean of Palmerston, who took posa- eis'on last week. Dr. Jamieaon's uew motor boat has amvd and is now resting on Wilder's Like, where it ba beej given a try out and we believe found 11 that was to be deairad. \Ye have not seen it yet, nor had a ride in it, but still have hopes. The recently purchased property at the Like acquired by the doctor acme BkOBHU ago, is at present underhung extensive renovation and will make au ideal summer camp for the doctor and his friends Fencts are being put up, a residence and b iat house constructed, aud other im- provements made. Mr. Alex. Morton of the Rocky had a narrow escape from aerioua loss duiii _' one of the recent heavy electric bt.'ima that IM.MI d over this section of country. His barn w.ia struck, the bolt hittinj; a ventilator at the top am' passing down through the building in front of his horses. A Urge atone near the stable door wis split in two, anc 1 the bolt went out a window, taking the sash w.th it. None of ihc stock was iiijuicd- Chronicle- Up To Date Hunting While George Smith was motnrtag home from Greenock one ninht last weck he run foul of a wildcat which lud come out of the swile at Wm McNtil'u, near Glin'z'a Corner, and as the pussy seemed dazzled by the lights it stood menacingly on the road and disputed tha highway wuh George. 1'aitiiiK on ilie gib the Wlkertonin ch^^i;td it in tti.k fa-hum and for a few minutes the fur '. * i. tlv Durham Road. Th offensive was auc- c.Msful, snd as the tin Li/./. : o rattled ovir it, the si|Ueal froiii the cat made George's h nr nsi> like waves on tho S.iuucn. Aa a wounded wildcat is nothing to be toyed with, Geoi<;e walked back as cautiously 3 one fearful <>f *akinj: the twins in the radle. But there was no waking ol that c^, for the Ford had done its w.<rk. aim a member of the family that h id terror- ized the neii;hbnihuod and fattened en stolen fowl was as lifeless \* -\ last year's bird's nest, bringing it into town, he exhibited it to tha loc-il exports, all of whom pronounced it a pu-sy of the wildcat typo. Although a comparatively >'''!!-; animal, it h-id claws HKe a ;irilun rake, 'uid as it tipped the scalps at but eighs pounds it looked us if it could h^ve chased anything its weight oil the map.

Alliston and Hydro When Alliston nride its contract with Hydro t r power the price was to ba in the neighborhood if ?40 per horse. Now it i.s beinu raised to 00 Tho reason Kiven is i..

The iiici'ivisiiii; costs are iiioru than probably the growth of salary cheques. Sir Adam litck is now getting '' ' per day. Do the people of Allistou think h is worth it! Tin 1 adininictnitiou of Hydro is a complex system about which nobody nu'- s;df the otliciaU knows anythiag. Hydr is not reopousible to a ^ovurnnieutal Jepartment, nor is it responsible to tho legislature through a minister of power. Hydro actually runs its own show and Sir Adam l!.ck turns loose that abusive tongue of his on anyone who dares to r;i ,..-.. his methuds. This is how he comes to have been invested wiih the title if ''it. His system ia a sti-aiitfliiig process for the sniill town iiud a nursing but<le for big cities. That is why ths simll town is crying out for a rise in Toronto's rate so that relief way ho secured to tho -iilli'in n small (own. That in why Hot rate advocates will continue to advocate i (Ut rata for Hydro till sum-, thing breaks. The movement is gntheriog sfrengh rapid'y just now.
