Rumored Government May Establish Breeding Grounds In Bgremont. .mmv hm nr thrre months ago a ‘n'nl'iwl‘ nf t‘uo Fishery and Game vaartment was in town looking owr the surr-uunding territory with a m-w to establishing a “breeding”! gr-vuuds for trout and other fish. SO far. nothing much has been done in thw matter, but it is persistently ru- mm'ml that there is a possibility of such a branch being esablished here. m. Jamiescn recently purchased in the Vicinity nf Wilder’s Lake. what is known as the “Little Lake" and has nfi‘ered it to the‘Government er.- tii-ely without cost to them if they $hnuld deem it wise to accept. Briefly, a "breeding" ground is a place where the older fish are kept. Thny are fed daily by an attendant. and at the pmper season the eggs are takvn to the hatchery, hatched MIL am: shipped to various prints in We Prox'ince, free of charge to public stx‘vams. The stock of Government t‘tsh fry 1 does not nearly come up to the de- 5 mend. and with the already large 1 demand increasing every year, theli Government has been so hard put tn it that try in many instances has to he purchased in the United States. It is to onset this that it. is preposed to go into the breeding business on a large scale. line, of the requirements for this new irdusrfv is that it shall be lo- rttted near lze headwaters of a large stream. t'lflse enmigh to the source so as to he free frum contaminate-11., :mal clear azi-l cold, a rendition that would nott gvt'eVail on a stream even l\\u 01' three miles from its source. Added to this. the stream must be of quite a large capacity. so that it is a much harder matter than may be supposed to discover :1 suitable breeding ground. In the small lake in question. it is} thought these. ideal conditions pre» vnil. The lake itself is formed of springs. is of a size large enough for almnst any requirement, and, should the “wartment decide to locate, will be possibly the first venture of its kind til I hital‘in.

The Durham Furniture Company has taken out a Dominion Charter, and anyone who noticed the adver- tisement. in The Chronicle two weeks ago and thought that the company was going to the wall, will have an- other guess coming. “Reorganiza- tion” meetings in this age of failures have an ominous sound, but. in the case of the Durham Furniture Comâ€" pany they were never financially stronger than at present. To make a long story short, the company has been doing business under a Provincial charter. which was taken out, “for the manufamure of furniture." The charter. being a Provincial one. causes some difl‘i- culty in doing business in other Provinces. and the desire to over- come this was one of the big reas- ons for taking out a Dominion char- ter. .â€" gain. the old charter was ob- ,solete.

DURHAM INTERMEDIATES WON TWO GAMES Durham has been going great guns so far in Northern League hockey, and. since last. issue, have played two games, their only two scheduled in Section B. Their next two willr be played. one at Mount Forest, and the other at Arthur, later in the month. While the Durham club was not represented when the schedule was drawn up, and therefore have ;no particuLar kick coming on the raw deal handed out to them, there is no doubt that a blind man could ' have drawn up a better schedule than the bunch, whoever they were, who handed out the present playing schedule. If Northern or any other league hockey. is to prosper, every team should receive consideration, whether represented or not. As it is, the first two games of the league are played in Durham, and both the Durham club and Mount Forest are the losers thereby, the season being ‘Over locally before it is really startâ€" ' ed. While the two visiting clubs got their travelling fees, We would im- agine a good gate would suit them‘ better. and, smmpsing that some- thing shouldh appen that. Durham team should default. where will the gate come in. Sport, like anything else. has to he run on business prin- ciples if it is to pay. and We are sure no one will try to insinuate that any business brains were used by the outfit that «lrrw up the present schedule of games. The game on Friday night, when Arthur were the visitors, was, we have been tnld. the better game of the two. and, while the score was nearly the same in both games, the Arthur hum-h had mere 01' the puck and shnwmt lwtter hinteky sense than tlw Mnunt, ii‘erest team. In fact. for! a tinw in the first period. both teams were evenly [nah-hm] and it was iiifl'it'ult tn pick the winner. After the tirst sessiun, when Durham's iuggregatimi gut their sun-legs, there [was nothing to it, and they scered almost. at. will, the fullâ€"time sem'e being: 10-2. The line-up : Arthurâ€"(WM.

LOCAL MASONS BUY DESIRABLE PROPERTY North Part of McIntyre Block Secur- ed By Craft For Lodge Room. Hn 'l‘unsqlay last, the Durham Ma- snnic Lodge carried through a dval by which they purchased the north part of the McIntyre Block. formerly nccupiod by Mr. S. McIntyre as a hardwarv stow“. and will fit it up for lodge rooms. So far as The Chronicle can learn, the upper portion will be the only part used by the lodge. while the lower promises will be rented as a mercantile or other business. rI‘lie building purchased is part of the well-known McIntyre Block. and was erected about. twenty years ago by the late N. McIntyre. It. is one of, if not. the best locations in town, is a firstâ€"class property in every way and the Masonic lodge is to be con- gratulated on having secured such a desirable property. The local lodge has for a. good many years been on the lookout for premises and, we are told, at one time were considering the erection of a suitable‘one for themselves. The one bought Tuesday, however, will fill the bill in every way, and will be a revenue producer as well.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1924 CARNIVAL POSTPONED ’ TILL TO-MORROW NIGHT Durham’s Golden Carnival Postponed On Account of Soft Weather. Old Jupiter Pluvius stacked the cards against the directors of the Amusement Company yesterday and gave them a raw dealâ€"land a lot of raw weather, too,â€"-f0r their big ice carnival, advertised to be held last night. From early morn, the rain fell in almost summer fashion, and continued until about five o’clock, when a light mantle of snow fell. Unâ€" der the circumstances, there was nothing left but postponement, 3:? no one wants to go to an ice carnival carrying an umbrella. As the weather man has promised colder weather for the balance of the week. to-mori'ow (Friday) night has been selected as the date on which the. big event will be held. Line up with the crowd early to- morrow night and see the best car- nival competition in years. The prizes, all in gold, have been on ex- hibition in D. C. Town‘s window, and are worth competing for. And be- hind them lies a history. When the rink committee decided to give the prizes in gold this year, they little thought what they were doing. They were of the Opinion that, like the old days, all they had to do was to walk up to the wicket and demand “gold.” There was none in Durham, so Toronto was requisi- tioned to fill. Even Toronto, which claimS to have the best of every- thing, even to bootleg whisky, fell down on the jobâ€"“they hadn’t any gold. 'l‘hen London, Hamilton, and a couple of other places were triedâ€"â€" they had none. either. The next ‘ thing we< a telegram to the mint at Ottawa. They had it. hutâ€"-â€"thcy weren‘t. issuing any. R'lontreal was apparently the only place in Canada where gold could be procured. and it finally landed in Durham. This will explain the tardiness of those responsible for not having the prize- money on diSpiay Sooner. With such a history behind them, the prizes for the carnival to-morrow night will haVe a double value, and even if you are not competing. after the above explanation, don‘t you think you would like to see who does?

The reason is that “Crossed Wires" which stars Gladys Walton with a capable supporting cast. and under the direction of King Baggot, is a satire on telephone service and so- ciety pretense. How it can satirize both of them at once is one of the things that make it interesting. As Marcel Murphy, a “hello” girl with a passion for reading the Blue Book and imagining herself an in- mate of its dream palaces, Miss Wal- ton has a flapper characterizatioh that will interest practically everyâ€" one. For those who battle with telâ€" ephone service it will be a vispali- zation of a figure which they have often wished to meetuwith a pur- pose.

INDUSTRIALI‘OUTLOOK FOR PRESENT YEAR Leading Financiers and Business Men Divided As To Probable Con- ditions For Next Twelvemonth. Forecasts of conditions in Canada; during 1924 contributed by several hundred manufacturers to the An-i nual Review Number of “Industrial‘. Canada” are in the main optimistic; Some 60 per cent. of the reports. re- ceived express the Opinion that busi- ness in 1924 will be better than it was in 1923. The remaining 40 per cent. are less hOpei‘ul, ranging from those who eXpect business to be about the same as it was last year to those who are frankly pessimistic regarding the outlook. Reviewing conditions during 1923 ~3.i it is found that in a good many lin nse l. business was spotty, some months showing favorable returns and others falling back in a discouraging way. Disturbed \vorld conditions contin- ued to exert an unfavorable influ- ence and many of the manufacturers ireporting contend that, until these; conditions right themselves, there cannot be a. genuine revival in busi- ness in Canada. Low prices of agri- cultural markets, due to the state of international markets, are prevent- ing the farmer from again becoming a strong factor in the market for n'1anufaclured goods, and this conâ€" dition is affecti1g particularly the 111a11ufacturers of agricultural imâ€" plements. On the other hand there have beenI in Canada. certain developments which have tended to offset these unfavorable conditions. Activity in the automobile industry with its various ramifications, continued ex- pansion in the 111111) and paper ill-5 duster. further de\ elo11me11ts in mining. the extension on a large scale of hydroelectric works, the construction of canals and docks, the buiiding of considerable new railway equipment. the good roads 1_>1'1:1gram. and the fairly active year in general construction have all contributed to keep the wheels of industry turning in Canada.

HOSPITAL BOARD MET TUESDAY NIGHT Secretary Graham’s Report Received and Favorable Comment Expressed. A meeting of the Hnspitnl Board was held Tuesday night. when the Secretary, Mr. J. A, Graham, gave an excellent synopsis of the work done and expenditure incurred. The report was clear, concise and comprehensive, and showed that be- tween fifteen and twenty thousand dollars had been expended to date. It also contained a fund of informa- tion relating to operations perform- ed and patients in attendance. The report is in preparation for the press and will be published shortly, when full particulars may be learned. Much credit has been given to the secretary, whose efficiency, we are told, is above being praised too high- ly. All the information was meth- odically arranged and given without hesitation.

DURHAM’S NEW COUNCIL" STARTED YEAR’S WORK Met Monday Night and Transacted Routine Business.â€"-Went Into Reeve’s Scheme For Opening of Jackson Plant. The Town Council met in the first regular session of the year last Mon- day evenin", taking up mostly the routine business of the town, al- though some special matters were also gone into before the Council rose. The Council‘s first work was the reading of the. minutes and approv- ing them, and the passing of accounts amounting: to in the neighborhood of $350. As Reeve, Mr. Calder is the Chairman of the Finance Committee, and, in looking over the. printing hills on the table. apparently beâ€" came suspicious that possibly all {was not as it. should be. He voiced his opinion that the Council. or at. least. the Finanre Committee should have a. SCthlllP of rates. There was llOUliDg‘ to prevent. these printers from adding another $10.00 to their bill. and the Gounril would know nothing of it. 01‘ course. he wasn't. the least bit suspicious. hut-~- ~â€"â€"â€"â€"" The Council voted $10.00 to the Sick Children‘s Hospital.
