They have sufficient clinkers on hand to keep them going for some time. In a short time they expect to begin burning. Consider- able improvement has been made dur- ing the winter and we understand the mill is in excellent shape for the sea- son’s work. SOME miserable-wretch showed his imbicility on Sunday or Monday night last by gixdling a nice healthy little maple tree at the corner of Garafraxa and Saddler Streets. A person who would do such a trick must be either drunk or foolish. There seems no reasonable explanation Why such a thing should be done. DURING the wind storm on Tuesday night of last week the Sign of Flarity Bros. Owen Sound was blown down and crashed through a plate glass window valued at about, $751M). Dur- ing the same gale John Harriston and Sons Co. lost two smoke stacks: the Sun Cement Co. one and Keenan Bros. one. One the same night the stack of the Farmers’ Manufacturing and Supply Co. was leveled to the ground Mr. \V. J. LAWRENCE has purchased anew tire setting machine which he tells us is the latest and most approv- ed apparatus on the market for setting buggy and waggon tires. Tires are put on With this machine without being heated, and consequently tm- damaged by fire, and as there is no guess work in the operation the wheels will never be "dished” or twisted out uf shape.

Good luck to you Archie. THERE is very little move in Rail- way matters at present and no definite decision has been cometo between the Company and the Town Council con- cerning the Garafraxa Street crossmg. The Council submitted a proposition some time ago and are waiting for the l decision of the Company in regard thereto. The Council’s proposal was to permit the crossing at the foot of the bill as the Company’s Engineers decided but they wanted the Com pany to agree to put on gates at the cross- ing and furnish a man to attend to them. This was the Engineer’s, verbal proposal at an earlier stage, but the Council want something in black and white as a safeguard to the town's in- terest. Citizens would of course he better pleased to see an under street: crossing higher up the hill but this would entail considerable expense in the making ot a long cut and the Council may have been more lenient than they should have been in making the proposal they did. However. if bars be provided and a man placed as guard there should be little or no danger from a level crossing. A num- ber of car loads of heavy timber have been delivered here during the past few weeks. Much. it not all of this came from British Columbia. and will . be used for bridging. “DB.

This is one of Conan Doyle’s and to say that Conan Doyle is the author is is one of the easiest ways to give as} sumnce of its excellence. \Ve ale sure that all readers of continued stories will be pleased with “The Ref- ugees.” \VE understand that application is being made for a pool room in town and that some of the council have.been already pledged to support the grant- ing of the license. Now we greatly mistake the feeling of this town if the citizens desire any such an institution. It is said that the applicant is a blind man and that the pledged members of the Council plead sympathy for their support. Sympathy is all right in its place. but the young people of Dur- ham and vicinity have lots of chance to go to the devil without going by the gambling route. Supporters of the pool room will deny that gambling or drinking or any other vice is con- nected with such institutions. One thing is certain that no good ever comes out of them and we certainly don’t need one here whatever the Council may think about it. If a man deserves sympathy his own citizens should be the first to extend it. If they have a pool room already and find it a good thing let them start another and not force deserving citizens to pick up and go elsewhere.
