It grew out of a fight that occurred in town on the 18th of October, the charge being laid by Chief Carson on hehalfof the town. As one of the combatants is apparently very peni- tentund has indirectly requested us not to publish his name, we shall spare his feelings once more and withhold the names of both belliger- euts. The occurrence, however, is public property and there is no need for Clll('k(_’ll-llt‘:ll°t€lr leniency on our part. \Veare in no way obliged to keep the matter secret, nor do we feel wear: doing our whole duty in concealing even part of the truth. In fact we think it would have a much better effect if the local press would give full particulars about all these scandalous brawls. The whole after- noon and evening were taken up with the trial. Much contradictory evi- dence was submitted and the whole thing seemed to be quite a muddle. The result was “a dollar and costs” for the minor offender who was never known to be quarrelsome till he licked the other fellow in self defence as he endeavored to show the court. The other offender was taxed “ten dollars and costs and bound over to the peace for one year.” The Return of Con- victions will give the names of both and these returns will be published and posted throughout the whole county and destroy our efforts of con- cealment. We hope the punishment may have a salutary influence and be a warning to others who are anxious to scrap. “SHAREIIOLDER” in another column condemns the action of the Gas and Oil Company for making an assign- ment without consulting the share- holders. We advise all interested to attend the meeting and sift out the whole thing. There's something funny about the business. THE CHRONICLE congratulates Mr x \Vm.

EDITOR,â€" No doubt a large number of the many shareholders of this Company will be surprised to hear of the assign- ment as stated in your last issue of the Chronicle. The Company surely can not he in much debt. Why were the sharehold- ers not consulted before such proced- ure? It IS very questionable if this as- signment is legal under the circum- stances, and it is certainly not justice to the shareholders. What have the omcers done to col- lect the unpaid stock ? There are sev- eral hundred dollars worth of new pipes on hand, and I understand many of them never used. Why were these pipes not sold ? What is the real object of this as- signment? The officers of this Com- pany certainly owe the shareholders an explanation. Is there one of the officials of this Company who would conduct his own business in such a manner? N0 SCARCI'I‘Y 0F MARL YET. Our cement plant is now on the verge of another huge advertising movement. For some reason un- known to us the Directors of the Com- pany, with the single exception of Mr. Gilbert McKechnie. are working up a cry that the marl supply is rapidly ho- comiug exhausted. They want to move the plant. and before doing so, the vote of the stockholders must be secured. The best way, of course, to get the stockholders to vote in favor of its removal is to impress upon them the idea that there is no material in sight, and this they are trying their best to do at the present moment. Before it was decided to erect a mill here, a very exhaustive survey _was made of \Vilder’s Lake and other lakes in the vicinity of Durham. The re- ports that came in were simply ex- cellent, and sufficient marl to last for several generations was easily in sight. We believed the reports regarding the marl supply. We believed then that a properly constructed and honestly operated mill in the midst of such de- posits, must be a paying concern. \Ve published every hit of information we could get hold of, and we did so con- scientiously and honestly, and more than that let us say right here that we did all our work without a cent of re- nmneration. It is a well known fact that $250,000 of the capital stock was appropriated by the chief promoter, Mr. \V. F. Cowham, and it is known also that this promotion appropriation was giv- en out to minor lights in the promo- tion field for their assistance in push- ing the thing along. Not a cent did we get, though we have conceit en ough to believe that The Chronicle had con- siderable influence in promoting the sale of the stock, and we furthermore believe now that if the editors of the local papers in Durham had been wise enough, and at the same time dis- honest enough, they could easily have held up the whole promotion outfit and retarded for a long time the erection of the mill here. The Editor of The Review may speak for himself but our honest belief is that he fared no better than we did. Of course we both man- aged to dispose of a few hundred pa- pers each when we had what the pro- meters considered a good catchy article on the cement business. Even here there was no effort made to get more than a job-work price for the goods we delivered. We have now tried to establish the honesty of our utterances during the promotion, erection and manufactur- ing periods of the mill’s existence, and we think there are very few who doubt that it is a paying concern if honestly handled. Last April when the mill started work the Company was faced by a debt of $127,000 over an eighth of a million of money. The proceeds of the summer’s work were applied to the paying off of the huge burden and to- day only $30,000 of that debt remains unpaid. That means that $97,000 of the debt hanging over the Company in April last has since been paid by the profits from the mill. Besides this it *must be remembered that a wage bill Continued on Page 8.
