a PAGE DRILLING FOR 01L AT BOWMANVILLE! .Bowmanville Statesman: 0n difier- ent occasions in the past decade traces of oil and gas nave been disâ€" covered in the soil and around Bow- manvine while drilling for water. Af- ter having one at Toronto's best oil experts examine some properties at- ound town and giving as his opin- ion that oil and gas in commercial quantifies would be found if further developed, steps were at once taken to form the Standard Development Co. Limited of Bowmanvine. with an authorized capital of $100,000. The company hae already leased about 7.000 acres in the county of Durham and they now propose issuing stock to the public, the money to be used in drilling wells and further exploit- was an advt. which appeared in a re- cent issue of Saturday Night. We un- derstand this is the first this paper has ever inserted promoting the sale of oil stock. Saturday Night does not hesitate to expose or turn down questionable “wild ca ” schemes but it evidently thinks Bowmanville’s oil fields will prove to be a paying pro- position.

CASH AND ONE: PRICE FUNERAL 0F LATE ADOLPHA FORTIER The funeral of the late Adolphe Fortier took place this morning to St. Mary's church, where requiem mass was chanted by Rev. Fatherl Guiry, after which the remains were} interred in the Roman Catholic cem-j etery. ‘ The deceased was about 47 years of age and at one time a. resident at Papineauville. Que. He is survived by a mother and lovmg wife; also 6 children. They are: Nelson, Olive, Alice, Dora, Lilian and Esther. He is also survived by a brother and sister, Antonio, of Pappineauville, Que, and Mrs. Fred La Fleur, of Harrican, Ont. The bereaved wife and little chilâ€" ren will have the sympathy of the community in their hour of amiction. The late William J. Morrison of Lindsay, Ontario, whose sad demise took place on the 5th. of September1 1912, is deeply regretted by his many friends of whom Willie 'had a great him. He was bereft of a loving father at an early age and was ever anx- ious to help his widowed mother. He was a manly little fellow always rea- dy to help those he thought needed from infancy. He was exceptmnany bright in school and aways had a. kind word to say of those by whom he was employed and whom he came in contact with day by day. He was certainly perfect in form and feature and it is hoped that the great myst- ery which surrounds dear Willie’s sad death will soon be revealed. 35% was laid to rest in the Riverside Cemetry beside his sister and father who predeceased him some years ago.

MICHAEL MORAN On Friday, the 18th inst., there passed away a highly esteemed resi- dent of Palestine, Eldon, in the per- son of Michael Moran. His remains were interred in the Glenarm cemet- ery on Sunday and were followed by a very large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Steele of Glenarm, and the pallbearers were six of the nephews of the deceased: A. D., M. C., A. J., and D. J. Mc- Millan, Donald and John Currie. To mourn the loss of a kind husband and father there remains the widow, who was Catherine McMillan. children Roger on the homestead, Ellen at home, John and Duncan of Bounty, Sask., Annie, of Winnipeg, and Mrs. Colin H. Campbell, of Eldon. Deceased was 74 years of age at the time of his death. Born in Ire- land he came to Canada at an early age with his parents and the other members of the family no settled in Eldon. By his cheerful and kind dis- position he gained a host of friends, and it has frequently been said of him that he hadn‘t an enemy in the world. Old and young alike were al- ways cheered and encouraged when meeting the late Michael Moran. The news of Mrs. Coulter’s death was received in Lindsay with general COPY OF BOOK In the east Window of Porter’s bookstore may be seen a copy of a book 238 years old, the title being Antiquitates Apostolic or The Lives, Acts and M'artyrdoms of the Holy Apostles of our Saviour. The book bears the imprint of Feb. 25th, 1674, and is in a fair state of preservation . OBITUARY SAM. COULTER 238 YEARS OLD ARE NO MORE the “What makes our town so slow ?” is a question that is probably asked by citizens in each of many towns and villages throughout the older part of this province. For the com- mon citizen this might be a hard question to answer; but when one stops to consider, it is not so dim- cult after all to find a reason for the backwardness of these towns and Villages. There is nothing succeeds like success. and nothing can bring ’prosperity‘ to a town or city like an lappearance of prOSperity. Let any stranger drop into any one of these towns with the purpose of sharply getting an idea of the pro- gress of the town. Upon looking ar- qund what does he find ? Streets that. compare very favorably with the ordinary country swamp road; on either side of them a zig zag tagged streak of rank grass and weeds, next a strip of concrete which may be called an excuse for a side- walk, following all the little ups and downs and twisting in and out to avoid trees, telephone poles. and such like. In short, nowhere does he find a piece of public work finished with that appearance that would lead him to believe that there was any in- telligence at the head of the town's public works management. Natural- ly, the stranger is disappointed with such an unprogrcsslve appearance and in spite of what words can say for the town, it is not hard to conclude what impression of it he carries away with him. a rather exalted idea of their know- ledge and ability to construct side- walks, roads, etc.; one of their num- ber is selected as head of the public works department and be practically if not nominally is obliged to con- stitude himself town engineer. He advises the council on matters in re- lation to the public works of the town and the Council go ahead and act on his advice. For instance, the scribe has heard of a case where such ankofiicial advised the council after a long heated discussion, that there was no use in draining the streets, that it had been tried (tried probably, in the same slip shod man- ner in which the rest of the work in the town was done) and the council went blindly ahead as usual and con- tinued to bury people's money in the mud, (applying gravel, rolling, etc.,)- money which, if judiciously expended in properly draining the streets, would have yielded back an hundred fold value in service to the town and would have provided a basis .for per- manent civic improvement and con- sequent prosperity. Think of what a town will become when it acts upon ance ?" A few enquiries into the at- fairs of the tom; disclose to him the cause.

But this is going too much into detail. The council probably acting upon the advice of the public works minister“ appoints men as overseer-s to carry} 0n and execute the different works in the town. To these men falls the lot of designing, laying out and carry- ing on such work according to their own ideas. Imagine a railway com- pany leaving such duties in connec- tion with the construction of its works in the hands of men trained merely as skilled workman or with a. capacity for directing the eflorts of a gang of workmen. There is no need of saying what would happen to that company's business. The main con- sideration with a municipal council seems to be economy. “Get it done cheap.” Such a system of penny wise, pound foolish economy can onâ€" ly bring about conditions which re- sult in what the scribe has already described, namely, an unenviable ap- pearance of lack of thrift. Mr. McGee was driving out of Mr. James McNevin’s residence, and was just turning out of the gate when Mr. Norman Martin’s auto hove in sight on its way from Glenarm. The horse gave a quick jump, snapping the belly band, and threw the occu- pants out. The animal then ran up Chambers’ hill as far as James Palâ€" mer’s gate, a distance of two miles. Mr. Martin was in no way to blame for the accident, and took Mr. Mc- Gee and daughter to' their home. 1' A town is juagcd almost entirely by its appearance in spite of what words can say in regard to its ad- vantages, facilities, etc. Almost ev- ery prospective manufacturer receives his impressions of a town upon first sight around the public thoroughâ€" fares and if these impressions are unfavorable he turns away in spite of all arguments as to the town's advantages and says to himself, “There is nothing to entice me to 10- cats here." He had been out hunting with a party of friends and was returning in a buggy behind a colt. When part way down the Omemee hill one of the shafts broke, and the buggy ran into the horse, which took fright and ran away. In some way Rev. Mr. Earle was run over by the buggy, and to climax all, the horse fell upon him. The reverend gentleman was badly bruised and scraped, but fortunately suffered no internal injuries. After a few days' rest he will be fully re- covered from the shock. gress rests, there seems very little hope for the average town's future prosperity without some such form of government. ' EXCITING RUNAWAY YESTERDAY MORNlNG OMEMEE MINISTER SERIOUSLY HURT This morning a, bad runaWay took place near Fenelon Falls, when Mr. Bert McGee had one of his ankles sprained and his little daughter thrown out of the buggy. Probably in no other department do we see such dire necessity for gov-‘ emment by commission, i. e., by men trained for their tasks, as we do in the public works department of a, town’s afiairs. And since the management of that department is the basis upon which the town's pro- Rev. Earle, rector of the Church of England at Omemee, underwent a very dangerous accident yesterday on the big hill just east of the village.

He talked on phases of educational work and his remarks were listened to with the closest at- tention. ‘ Mr. Hughes severely condemned the entrance examination. which he char- acterized as the supreme curse of the public schools. It degraded the ideas of pupils, parents and teachers. girl who plays the vigorous games develops a. fine, healthy specimen of womanhood. Gardening in the schools was strongly recommended by Mr. Hugh- es. There was a smaller percentage of gardeners in the penitentiary than teachers and preachers. The pupil and God should be partners in tak- ing the seed, nourishing it until it developed into a beautigul flower. The pupil will know some day that God and he made it grow. The development of character fibre in the child was also emphasized. A man or woman could not be made any good by being stufied with knowâ€" ledge. According to the laws governing: the penny bank more than $300 could not be received in deposit from any one individual. Mr. Hughes also stated that. the time was coming when university de- grees would be secured without pass- ing examinations. The principal also strongly advo- cated clean, wholesome games for the pupils. Games tended to give girls vi- gor and make them physically fit. The same applied to the boys. The terest did not pay the expenses, and thirty citizens of Toronto paid a proportionate share of the deficiency each year. No man could make any money from the penny bankâ€"it was purely philanthropic. Banking in this bank was done from the Maritime wastefully. .The working people never think of putting money over what they need to clothe and feed their family into a chartered bank. They allow it to slip through their fingers and no provision is made for unfor- Been contingencies. It was suggested to Toronto parents to put their mo- Provinces, Quebec and as far west as Calgary. The bank was started eight Years ago to save what children wasted. The moving pictures were developing a. habit of spending money ney in the penny banks in their children‘s name. There was a great deal in the man having the con- sciousness that he has money on hand. Boys in the city, Mr. Hughes Said. , 1‘, W "1 were robbed of the joy of not having Egon; 11 a Principal Hughes next directed biz. remarks to the penny savings banks. The fundamental ideal of the human race should be thrift. Nothing hurts civilization so much as a. waste of money. There was only one chartered penny bank in Canada, and it was in. Toronto. There was on deposit the opportunities to work. He sum of $216,000. The government paid them 4 per cent. and the bank paid 3 per cent. on deposits.
