k1 DURHAM BHRBNIBIE W IRWIN, Editor and Proprietor â€" Thursday, September 21, 1922. PLENTY OF COAL Explaining why he is turning off Henry Ford asserts that he is fight- ing for a great principle. His fight is against profiteering and he claims his action will re-act. to the benefit of all business men. Mr. Ford denies there is a coal shortagi'i. The investigation of his representatives have coi‘ivinceiil him, it is stated, that. the coal brokers of the country have an enormmis sup- ply of coal on hand. The Ford Moâ€" tor Company could obtain emuigh coal to cover a tract ten acres square if it wcaild submit to being victim- ized by profiteers, it is declared. For several weeks, it is asserted, the Ford offices at Dearlmrn have been flooded with offers of coal with deliveries guaranteml. It is declared the prices asked ranged from 100 to 300 per cent. above the normal cost. The Detroit manufacturer believes that if he yields to what he terms “the hold-up" of the coal brokers. every other manufacturer will.fol- low suit. and that. coal prices will reach an unprecm‘lentell figure. One source close to Mr. Ford said the manufacturer had at the back of his mind a picture of workingmen be- ing unable to buy enough coal to keep their families warm be *ause of the prices that eventually would be ‘asked "unless this prof'iteering was nipped in its inception." , â€"-â€".â€".â€"â€"-â€"â€" OSHAWA MAN LOST WHEN BANK ROLL WAS “BLESSED” Taking a roll of bills out. of a local taxi driver‘s hands while he was paying for some gasoliiw at an Oshâ€" awa garage 1st week. Margaret. Johns a gutsy. who was passing through the town. in ci‘inniany with a number of others. exclaimed. "Me bless it for you." When the taxi man insisted that the roll be returned to him he did not, discover that.

A. very important improvement which is being made. to the Provin- cial Highways is the replacing of the old rail fences with wire. This will result in very much better win- ter roads. Had wire been in general use for fencing in this district dur- thousands of men on September '16. ing the past two winters, automobile traffic on many of our roads would not have been interrupted at all. Two car loads of wire, enough to fence thirteen miles, week to be used on the Hamilton- Uwen Sound highway between Artha- t r ur and Cumnock, and the w stand that the road from Arthur to Kenilworth is also to be fenced wi wire this season. The new fence will be set back ten feet on both sides, making the road allowance twenty feet wider. Where the owner of the .‘. [troperty along the road don up the new fence and supplies any necessary gates, allowing him to reâ€" move the old rail or wire fence. Where this arrangement cannot be tr made. the property owner accepts a fair valuation for the required ten feet. frontage. and builds his own Mr. fence. It. is the intention to wire the 1m, Arthur-Kincardine highway and already the new fence is being built along the rmul about five miles west of here. â€"+_. PERMITS GRANTED OUTSIDERS TO FISH ON ONTARIO PRESERVE (Flesherton Advance.) It, is a long time since so much in- dignatitm has been expressed over any government action. in the ears of The Advance. as that which has been coming to us during the past two weeks. owing to the action of the Ontario Game and Fisheries Departâ€" ment in issuing permits for stran- gers to come. in and fish in the hydro government preserve. \\'eck before last four gentlemen came up from tjiuelph to Eugenia air! flashed a permit, to fish on the _‘.v- ernment reserve” The injustice of the thing arises from the fact that the users of elecâ€" tricity on the Eugenia system built and are paying for the plant. Nobody else pays a cent. In doing this they incidentally created an artificial fish preserve of wonderful dimensions. Milté'ls- Straighlway when this was done the Ontario Government stepped in and ”Ulla-hi 1 said in effect Sou cannot have what tyoll have created. from you." Then they proceedml to . . mu confiscate the property and set it. “it” aside as a government preserve. The lder batching of pheasants was made a side issue in order to give the fishery overseer a run for his money. he belief that such an action as i:-, now chronicled would take placeâ€"â€" _ ork 0‘ zcns.

The animals were valued at about. $60 each. which is quite a loss to the owners. â€"_._.___ The suspicious public expressed GRAND VALLEY VISITED BY SMALL-SIZED TORNADO (Grand Valley Star and Yidetleg‘ A miniature tornado, accompan- lowed to fish. tithers thought such ied by a sort of cloud-thirst, swept barefaced treachery would not. be over Grand Valley about 4 o’clock resorted to.

The fine was paid by the mother and Reeves liberated and it is expected he will leave town permanently. â€"â€"+â€"â€"â€" Not In His Books.
