The freshet commenced Friday, and the ilrst excitement was when the C. P. R. bridge west of town was reported in danger from a log jamb that.had lodged Upon it and irevened the water from getting hroug . Local sectionmen under the supervision of Road Superin- tendent McArthur. were at work the greater part of the afternoon in loosening the. obstruction, which consisted of an accumulation of logs and other debris. together with a bridge belonging to Mr. Robert 1101')- kins ol‘ llentinck. which was swept from its foundation and carried down stream. A bridge belonging to "Sadly“ Thompson at Hutton Hill is also reported to have been carried away. All Friday afternoon and night the water rose, and the local millers were kept constantly on the qui vive in protecting their property. The McGowan mill dam east of town was never in any great danger, but the water was dangerously near the toe of the hank, even with all the gates open. The rush of water through the rocky gorge below the dam was a beautiful but awe-in- spiring sight. At the. mill of J. W'. Ewen Son in town. things for a time looked serious, but with eon- stunt watching and timely work, no damage was done. Quite a hole was washed out of the hank above. the dam. but the water did not get. throimh, but below the dam, over ten feet of the bank was washed out during one afternoon.

Collapse of Structure on Durham Road Serious Handicap to Business Men of Town and Residents of Country. While it may seem rather early to voice. an opinion on the matter. and the Umnty Council may already he formulating plans for the erec- tion of a temi‘iorary bridge over the Saugeen River at Durham cemetery to take the placi- ot' the one swept away Sunday morning. it might be just as well to state that both town and counry residents expect the Council to take immediate action to remedy the- inconvenience the ei‘illaose of this structure will create. manhy by way of the Durham Road. the collapse of the bridge is bound to he a serious handicap to both this town and the surround- ing country if some way is not found whereby the local and throu h traffic may proceed as former y. Being the main roadway between Collingwood and Kincardine, the inconvenience to tourists and busi- ness men of other sections of the country will be great, and it is only reasonable to expect that the County Council will be asked to look into the matter at once. _ y And some heads would cease ach- ing it they had them filled.
