if? We heartily congratulate the direcâ€" tors on the succws of their enter- prise. Mr. John Lucas, one of the 000 or $60,000 additional stock the company holds in the treasury will' supply an ample working capitalf The company’s stock is nearly all sold. Enough money has been alâ€" ready provided, we understand, to complete the plant and the $50,- The company has rare advantages. .‘The marl can be pumped directly out of the lake on one side into the fac- tory, and the finished product load- ed into the cars on the other side. The company also has the great ad- vantage of a very fine water power at Elliott's Falls, within three miles. of the factory, on the Gull river. By blasting out the natural dam one half mile below the falls, a head of twenty-two feet has been obtained and a very fine development plant is being put in, where the company will develop and transmit to their factory, 1,400 horse power. The buildings erected at Raven Lake con- sist of an immense stone mill about 150 x 100, feet, and nearly 40 feet high, practically fine proof, and an; immense stone warehouse 90 x 180 feet, besides offices and shops. The machinery that is going in is of the latest and most" efieotive designs. The company’s machinery alone ccst about $250,000 and the d;rectors confidently expect by next spring to be turning out iron: 000 to 800 barrels of cement per day. '1‘ his is certainly a great mdu‘Stry for the north country._ A great many men will be employed and the freigh‘ tra- flic on the Coboconk branch willbe so much increased that we trust the Grand Trunk Railway will put on, as they should, .a second train per day. ' the side of the railway. Over its bottom is an average depth of some sixteen feet of marlâ€"enough to man- ufacture 1000 barrels of cement a day, for more than 100 years. This wonderful bed of marl lay unnoticed and unthought of until about three years ago, when its development was undertaken by our townsman, Mr. John McDonald, Messrs. Duncan Robertson and Thomas Christie of Toronto, and Mr. R. J. McLaughlin, Kg C., of Lindsay. These gentle- men interested capitalists in the undertaking, a company was formed, and as a result one of the most up- to-date cement plants in Canada is now nearing completion.

THE BAVEN‘LAKE CEMENT COMPANY 5 Of course it seems strange that council did not go more fully into the street-lighting question. They simply threw themselves down before the Light, Heat Power Company, first by rejecting all ofiers of the Gas Company, next by resolving, in- stanter, that the former company’s offer was satisfactory, and all the time by making no effort to see if other solutions could not be found. Aldermen were in the position of negotiators who begin workl by loud- ly condemning the alternatives that wiser men use to get advantage in the bargaining. There, is little doubt that a much better contract could have been madeâ€"it could have at least been tried forâ€"but the one we have will result in a good light, and likely on as good terms as the town gets most things. Fuinshed Every Thai“? mamas. - TEE LIGHTING‘GOIMMF ~ Gratification that the streetâ€"lighv ing question has been solved, will largely exclude criticism of its sold- tion. One thing at least is settled a; the town will be well lit. Like- 1y 80 lamps could very well be used; likely 70 lamps can very well be got along with, and that number constitutes a very gi-atiiyingficomâ€"1 promise between the lower and high-‘ er figures advocated by different sec- tions of the council. It is hard to understand the position of the mayor; and some of his colleagues who serâ€"' ved on committees that reported ‘73 lamps as necessary and then stren-w ously opposed making acontract for} more than 60, and with no other de- fence than that one numilfer ought to I be named in the contract and anoth- 1 er put up on the streetsâ€"an amazing proposition to come from business men. Ald. O’Reilly and . Ald. Cin- namon did good work when they in- sisted on facing the question fairly and naming the number needed, or none at all. That course will com- mend itself to those Who want the town to make thorough work as it 9088. Mr. and Mrs: Best left on the evena ing train for the west. ‘ Mrs. Best's travellixig costume was a tailor- maxie suit of brown broadcloth with blouse of brocaded satin and dnny The bride was clad in cream silk organdie over white tafl'eta, trimmed with medallions and duchess lace.
