The water was turned in for the first time on Saturday, but after running all day it. was found that there was a leak at the west side of the structure and the mill was again closd down for a couple of days the first of the week while repairs were made.

With the heavy rains, the old Saugeen was nearly as full the first of August. as in the spring, and as the season is getting on and thereis work to do, the firm felt that they could no longer continue to have their mill shut down. Not only were. they losing money by being closed, but it was a real in- convenience to their patrons as well. ! When the work was commenced a few weeks ago by Messrs. J. W. Ewen . Son on their dam on the Saugeen just west of The Chronicle office, it was intended that an entirely new dam would take the place of the old one erected many years ago. The wet spring and summer had so raised the water, however. that only a .part has been completed and the remainder will have to wait over until some future date.

With the community, The Chronâ€" icle joins in extending sympathy to those who mourn; The late Miss McCallum was born in Bentinck, near Mulock, in April, 1905, and lived there until twelve years ago when the family moved -to Durham, where they have since resided. For a time she was employed in the, telephone office here, Where she was a very popu- lar employee, and was a favorite [with her many girl friends in town. Her death at the early age of 23 years is to be much regretted and Mr. and Mrs. McCallum and the surviving members of the fam- ily have the sincere sympathy of their many friends in their be- reavement. Besides the parents, the deceased is survived by three sisters, Misses Sarah and Florence in Durham, and Miss Gertrude, of‘ Toronto. The funeral is being held from the family residence on College street this Thursday aflernOon at 2: o’clock, the services being in charge of the family pastor, Rev. W. Spencer of the Durham Baptist church. Interment is being made in Durham cemetery. Taking a severe cold in the early part of 1926, Miss McCallum later contracted the influenza, and though she had apparently recov- ered from both ailments, a recur- rence of the trouble developed later, left her in a very weak con- dition, and tuberculosis of the lungs developed. She had been a sufferer from this last illness for the past eighteen menths. We regret this week to report the death of Miss Annie McCallum, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm McCallum, who passed away early Tuesday morning after an illness of over two years. Miss McCallum was in her 24th year.

Besides being able to pay the re- bate, the local Commission an- nouncs that. they have still suf- ficient. surplus to meet all out- standing debontures, there being a total of some $18,000 to their credit. To the ordinary householder, whose bill runs approximately two dollars a month, or $24 a .year, the rebate will mean the passing hack of $4, quite a good dividend. Those users of hydro whose bills, like The Chronicle, min anywhere from ten to eighteen dollars a month, will receive a proportion- ately rebate. Hydio users of Durham, and this means p1acticall\ the whole tomn. will be interested and pleased in the notice of the local Hydio Com- mission to rebate one- sixth, or considerably over 16 per cent of the amount paid by them in 1927. This is but another instance of the benefit of Ontario Hydro, and is as well a tribute to the local Com- mission, for without good com- munity management, even the On- tario Commission cannot make pro- fits.

I We have no explanation to offer over the appearance of these tropical-sized reptiles in a countiv in which the common garter 'varietv predominates, but it mav be possible that the continued wet season may have had something to do with it. This snake story is true, and is given as we received it. and as our informants are all responsible citizens there is no chance that it can he turned aside with the statement that it is but one more evidence of the damning effects of the Ferguson Liquor Control policy which just now is blamed for everything from twins to the low price of pork on the hoot As the Sunday in question was Mrs. McLean‘s 78th birthday, it is safe to say she will never forget this one incident on her natal day, and will be on the alert from now on any time she has reason to enter the tool-house on her pro- perty. â€" vâ€"mv-‘ On Sunday of last week Mrs. Hugh McLean, who lives in the southern part of town, came across a large black snake in a tool house at the rear of her house. This building is not used very much and on Sunday Mrs. Mc- Lean went into the building for something and when in a stooped position to pick it up was rather startled to see the head of a large snake rise close beside her. Needless to say Mrs. McLean lost no time in getting out of the building, and ever since a lookout has been kept for the reptile’s return but so far it has refused to show up. Another report has it that a large snake has been seen at different times on the town dump on the Hanover road, but as no authentic information is at hand we can give no informaion. We have heard nothing but the rumor. Mr. Gray says that it was a big snake, all right, but the breed or actual size of the reptile is unknown to him. It was :1 spotted snake, and he says he saw about six feet of it as it was crawling under one of the lumber piles in the Furniture Company's yard. The reptile, he said, would be about four inches through the body. He did not see its head. â€"_â€" During the past week or ten days The Chronicle has been informed that there are numerous large snakes in different parts of the town, but. to date none has been captured. Last Wednesday about 10 o‘clock, William Gray, yard foreman for the Durham Furniture Company saw a large one disap- pearing’ under one of the piles of lumber. We heard of the rumor at the time, but thingingthat some- one was. perpetrating a practical joke we refused to take any notice of it, and it was not until we met Mr. Gray the first of this week that we were able to get the right dope on the occurrence.
