What was undoubtedly the most des- tructive storm in many years, if not the worst that has ever visited this district, occurred on Sunday afternoon about five o’clock. In the immediate vicinity of Fenelon Falls Mr. John Gra- ham of Blythe met with the greatest loss. A considerable portion of the roof of his house was blown off, and all the chimneys demolished. The roof of the woodshed was lifted and deposited in pieces fifty yards away. Panes of glass from the windows were blown all the way across the house and for a few minutes those in the house Were pretty well frightened. Every bit of fencing on Mr. Graham’s farm was levelled to the ground, with the exception of places here and there where trees held it up. His sugar bush was also visited, the _ wind mowing down a. large strip of it between the lake and the upper edge of the bush. It is estimated that 500 cords of wood will be cut out of the fallen timber. The barn was slightly moved a E E W1; 1911 t t i your inspection. but not enough to be serious. Its All the best escape is attributed to the doors on the lee side opening and letting- the wind escape. Betwccn Blythe and Bobcay~ goon a good deal of damage was done. The barn of Wm. Kelso was badly wreck- ed. The drive house and implement shed of Wm. Thomas, postmaster at Red Rock, were damaged. The roof was blown off the barn of Jas. Nicholls, and one end of Mrs. Wm. Findlay's barn was _ shifted. I Much damage was done in Mr. =Thos. Cosh‘s bush lot. Part of the roof of the barn at the beehive farm was gblown oil‘, and the line trees on the lawn broken: down. or up~rcoted-.. The storm also left its. mark 'upon- Bobcaygeon ,The iron roof: of Mr. A. E. Bottum's hard- ware store was badly twisted, and will have to be replaced. Plate glass winâ€" dows were broken in Mrs. Cain’s store and at MrsBakcr's, and other damage done. . i ' Near Dunsford Mr. Goo. Thurston had ’eight head of cattle killed by lightning. ’Five head of cattle'belonging to John Jamieson, near Glenarm, were strtck by lightning while lying under a tree, and never moved. Several windmills and silos were wrecked, among them beng those of Ach. McGee, Cullis & Loan and Walter Hewic. The barns of John Parish, ’l‘hos. Howie, John Moore, James Powlcs, John Junkin and many Others ‘ were moreor less damagch ‘ Mr. David Brown and family near Hartley had a narrow escape, being in 3 .jthe kitchen, of them-home when the Sole Agents fer the D... 8.5: A.

He and Mrs. Carmichael were milking the cows in the basement when the storm struck the barn. and wrecked it. Mr. and Mrs. Carmichael fortunately ,,worc not struck by any of the falling ‘dcbris, and managed to get out and also save their cattle and horses. At Fenelon Falls no damage is report- Gafihook...

After the ceremony the party partook of a dainty wedding breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robson, a pleasing feature of the event being the presence. of the bride's Sabbath school class. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and useful presents. The young couple left on the morning train for Toronto and other points, amongst showers of rice, confetti, and good wishes. Miss EleanOre J. Johnston, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Johnston, was married on Wednesday, 14th inst., to Mr. Alexander G. Smith, of Orangeville.

The presents were numerous and costly. Mr. and Mrs. Smith will spenda few days in Peterboro and Campbellt‘ord, after which they will return to spend a week with the bride's parents. They will reside in Orange- ville. The best wishes of the large circle of the bride‘s friends at the Falls go with her and Mr. Smith for a. long and happy married life. Power Proposition. In the discussion of the Lindsay power proposition at the county council meeting on Friday, the views of Dr. Sims, Reeve of Feuelon Falls, regarding the guaranteeing of the bonds, are Ireported in the Post as follows: The Finance Committee of the County Council took up some work on Friday that was of vital interest to the towns- people. It was in connection with the bonding of‘ the town for raising $230,- 000 toward the purchase of the power plant. Dr. Sims, of Fenclou Falls, who. wasiu an excellent position to see the workings of the company, sketched the- history of the company, as it concerned the committee at the present time- He» did not wish to oppose issuing of the bonds, nor was he necessarilystrongly in favor of it. He thought there was a medium. When the Light, Heat and Power Couipany bought the power plant from Smith, the former owner, the village of Fcnelon Falls was not going to allow the Company to run their poles outside of Fenclon Falls. An agreement was arrived at however, by which the company would pay certain taxes to the 'village, besides the handing over of cer- tain lands. The taxes alone meant a sum to the village of Fenelon Falls, of twelve to thirteen hundred dollars per year. If the town were to buy the plant, a law- suit would be liable to occur over this agreement unless the town would be willing to come to an agreement about the taxes and lands. The town was asking for tho guaranteeing of bonds ' "to the extent of $230,000. He could not see that the plant was worth anything ’liko this. 1175;00011e considered to be a good round price, If an agreement Iwere entered into between the town of Lindsay and Fenclon Falls, by which Lindsay would have a certain amount of power and Fenelou Falls would also have a certain fraction of the power, ,thcn. those two places would be tying themselves down. Should' an in- dustry wish to enter either one of these places, and wanted power above this agreement it would simply mean that the industry would have to be turned down. On the other hand; the Seymour or into Lindsay even in opposition to. the present company if necessary at the rate of seven cents for lighting purposes, a decrease of.:2~3 per cent from the pre- sent price. At the same time the county would be relieved of all liability. Should this company if they were to bring pouâ€" cr {into the town, in opposition to the Light, Heat and Power Company, absorb the latter company, an agreement could be entered into with them by Fenclou Falls to allow the- Railway Commission 'to settle the rates at which power could be secured in the village. Of course the Seymour Company could supply any amount of power, and the town would not be held down to any certain amount. He had no doubtsbnt what the plant would pay, but in case it. did not, the town of Lindsay, would be at the back of the County Councilso that he thought the council would not be making too great a mistake in issuing the bond, and helping the town out of their dilliculty, for it meant quite a saving to them. He did not wish to go against this measure, but he thought there was another Side to the question, which they were not aware of. Fenelon Falls Council; Fenelon Falls, June 12th, 1911..

Were blown, down, and scarcely an orchard‘in this. section escaped injury. Fences, roofs.- and chimneys fcll aproy to the tornado, ‘ which lasted about ten minutes. The ef-' fects of the storm-will be keenly felt by. Mr. J. B. Powles, who had his silo blown, down, the two chimneys blown off his, house and fruit and ornamental trees . demolished. It will take twenty years. to restore the beauty of these trees. Lightning struck Mr. A. Rutlicrford's -. barn on the old Glaspcll farm. The barn . was rodded last summer. The gable end i was torn off, but there was no fire. The . doors of Messrs. Cullis &. Lane's barn were torn oil? and carried about twenty . rods. Just across the road Mr. Joe. Fcll . 'met with a. loss; his windmill and silo. were wrecked. The roof of the barn on the farm of the late Margaret I’lewie was .-. also demolished. Mr. A. McGee’s silo . and- windmill were blown down.
