To Meet Board of Trade ' Mayor Hunter was the instigator of a decision by the Council that they should meet the members of the Board of Trade in a discussion of certain import- 1 ant matters affecting the town. There was considerable talk around the Coun- cil Board and the press was reQuested to pass it over. for discussion at the meeting to be held this Thursday even- ing at 8 o‘clock in the Council chamber.

It Egremont' Farmer Had Hydro Installed Norman Schenk, Five Miles Soutl Town, Joined Big Hydro Family To Norman Schenk, we believe, falls the honor of being the first farmer in Egremdnt to join the big hydro family and secure for himself and family the benefits of hydro as enjoyed by the towns and villages of the province. For some time past he has been having his house, barn and other outbuildings wired and on the first of the present month was finally connected up with the electricity which will from now on light his barns and outbuildings. and if Norman’s dreams come true, will next summer run his cream separator, do the churning, do the family washing and make the toast for breakfast. In conversation with Mr. Schenk the Chronicle was given some interesting information which we pass on to our readers for their future guidance in case they, too, are thinking of installing l hydro. i To begin with, Mr. Schenk’s cost for 1 wiring his house and barn and bring- , ling the wires in from the road will run 'approximately $275. This wiring is con- 1 isiderably more expensive than really . necessary, as there has been nothing 1 slighted and his house is wired as well ' .as any house in town or city. In every 'zroom he has had switches placed, and wall plugs in different places for the accommodation of extra lighting. or anything that may be required. He has :in all outlets for 14 lights or fixtures, exclusive of the extra wall plugs. In his barn he has installed five lights in his stable, two in the upper part of . the barn and one in his barnyard. For this service Mr. Schenk tells us he pays a service charge of $2.50 per month, eight cents for the first 42 kilo- watts, and two cents for all over this , amount. ; It is his intention to have an electric ' stove installed, as well as the other do- : mestic necessities which would indeed be considered luxuries on any farm or in any town or village not served by the ' hydro or in which a twenty-four-hour - service is not maintained.

Improvements Are Being Made No.4flxhnyWutof'l‘mhm WideneddeIllystCmta-ywm There is considerable work being done at present on No. 4 Highway west of the tdwn which when completed will give the travelling public a wider road and make for safer motoring. The men are at present engaged in the work un-i der Patrolman Archie Park and when completed will be a big improvement. At the cemetery another long-needed improvement is being made. Durham has long been noted for its well kept necropolis and for some time back it has been the desire of the powers be- Ehind the cemetery board that more im- iprovements be made, not the least be- ing the erection of a proper fence along the front. The old one has long served its purpose and would soon have to be lreplaced, but 'with the condition of the ihighway in front of the cemetery it was a problem. The intention is to erect a new iron fence along the whole front of the prOperty, but in order to do this it was necessary that the gully in front of the grounds and part of the provincial highway system be filled. With the work of filling in this eye- sore and danger spot, which it is ex- pected will be completed early next week, the Cemetery Board will go ahead next spring and erect a fence and prop- er entrance gates which will not only grounds, which even now are said to be the prettiest among the smaller ceme- teries oi the province. New Crossing at C. P. R. Workman were engaged Tuesday put- eting in a new crossing over the C.P.R. !at the foot of the Garafraxa street hill. .The old crossing of wood has been taken up and a new one of railroad steel put ddwn. It is a great improvement over the old one and, better than that, is more than likely permanent. TURN NATURAL WEALTH BACK TO PROVINCES rivers, according Winnipeg. __â€"â€"â€"â€"r v , To the 25-year-old provinces .of Al- berta and Saskatchewan the Dominion presented their natural resources, giv- ing them administration and control of lands and water powers, mines, forests and fisheries. Both provinces entered Confederation September 1, 1905. .â€"-â€"v “v No ceremony marked the transfer of resources, worth many millions. Busi- ness went on as usual in the Dominion offices, despite the change of jurisdic- tion. A number of employees of the federal system will not be retained under the provincial plan, but the pro- portion will be small. It is understood that arrangements made at Ottawa will most part. “-v-v t The lack of ceremony at the provin- cial capitals, Regina and Edmonton was in marked contrast to the celebra- tion marking the transfer of resources to Manitoba. The Manitoba resources were handed over by the Prime Minister, then Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, to Premier John Bracken on July 15 last, 60 years ’atter the province’s entry into Confed- eration.

SAY WHEAT C”? m It The congregation of Bentinck Bap-l tist church fittingly marked the 55th anniversnry of their church when an- niversary services were held Sunday morning and evening and were a splen- did“ success oboth from point of num- bers present at both services and the enthusiasm displayed. Excellent mes- sages ‘were delivered by the pastor. Rev. Mr. Galloway. Features of the services were the splendid musical ofierings by Misses Priest and Redford of Durham, Miss Boyd of Lamlash and Mrs. Gallo- way, who contributed materially to the success of the occasion. The church was beautifully decorat- ed with autumn flowers and plants. This little church has served the oom- munity ’well and whether in the giving of the gospel messages, or social enter- tainment, it has served its day andl generation many times. i Sunday services were conducted: throughout the day at 11 am. and 7 p.; m. by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Galloway. In the morning he based his remarks on iMount Carmel was. firstly, a day when Elijah put his God to a test; secondly, on that day the altar of the Lord was repaired, and thirdly, on that day the fire of the Lord fell. In the evening Mr. Galloway spoke from “The call of the Evangel, ” his text being, “The Master is come and calleth for thee," the words of Martha to her sister Mary. _- 'i‘iie large congregations 'which at- tended both services listened in rapt attention to Rev. Mr. Galloway’s words. Season 5 Crop Was Destroyed By Fire atol- Also Went Up In Smoke. During the past threshing season nu- merous tales of barns burned through being fired by the separator or sparks from the engine have been quite cur- rent. This district to date has escaped fairly well until last Friday morning the barn of Mr. Patrick Haney, Normanby, on No. 6 Highway about eight miles south of Durham, was destroyed by fire which is supposed to have started from the blower of the separator, and all his season’s crop was destroyed. Thresh'iâ€"nâ€"gr had been in progress only about an hour when the fire started and its origin will always remain a mystery. The semrator, a new macmne, was owned by Mr. Adam Keller, an exper- ienced thresher, and so quickly did the fire make headway it was hnpossible to save it. As the motive power was sup- plied by a gasoline tractor, it cannot be claimed that it was a spark from the engine which started the connagration. The loss to both Mr. Haney and Mr. Keller will be considerable, and we have no information as to how much insur- iance was carried.

Some days ago when going home from‘ Dundalk on a farmwagon. Robert Mc- Pherson of the 37th slderoad.

Rose of the Supreme Court of Ontario, who has been appointed Chief Justice of the High Court of Ontario, succeeding Chief Justice R. M. Meredith, who has resigned after forty years’ ser- barn. Police were notified but nothing was heard of the roofing until Wednes- day morning of this week. when it was found thrown at the side of the road. where the owner had left it nine days previously. Evidently a guilty con- science had forced someone to return Mr. McPherson’s property. Apparently the roofing had been stored in a hen- house.
