Mrs. McCutcheon, a former resi- dent of Cargill.‘ and niece of the late Henry Cargill, for many years repre- s‘entative for South Bruce in the Commons, was killed in the West by a gas explosion, according to a tele- gram received there Thursday. No particulars were given. Good Growing Weather. County Treasurer John Barker re- ceived a cheque on Saturday from the Provincial Highways Depart- ment as payment of the subsidy for the County and suburban area road construction for 1922, less the Pro- vincial Highways account for 1921. The amount of the cheque was 8116,- 431.29. Kill-d by Explosion. Received Road Subsidy Cheque. Street Oiling Oomletod. The street oiling for 1923 is com- pleted and nobody is sorry. In all, we understand, about 8,000 gallons were used. and for two or three days it was a sticky mess. To niake mat- ters worse. the oiling was in pro- gress at the same time as the l_'.F.O. convention and with the big crowd in town the stutl‘ was carried far and wide. Had everything turned out according to schedule. this would not have happened. as the oil was supposed to arrive in Durham not later than the 21st of May and it did not. put in an appearance till the 29th. As a consequence. the Provin- cial Highway connecting link in the south end of town was hlockei‘l for over a week and the public put to the inconvenience of going around a block. The grease. and muss and t'uss, though, is Worth all the trou- hle. as the dtist. nuisance is over for the rest. of the summer. Lamhton street also. the connecting link on Ho 1 lountv Hood Roads, has been oils?“ Eeit and residents along that thor- Ioughlaie will have no complaints on the dust tor the balance of the sum- mer. Councillors McFadden and Murdock, and, in fact. the whole tlouncil. are to be congratulated on the manner in which they handled the job'and it is to he hoped that next years Council will go them even one better and have both Provincial and County connecting links oiled from one side of the corporation to the iiiilt‘l'.

The heavy freight. hauls from the Durham Stone and Sand Company‘s plant. will he handled by larger engines than formerly and this in itself will be a great, ’saving for the railroad company. DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, JUNE “7; GOOD ATTRAL'I'IONS SECURED FOR JULY 181' CELEBRATION The committee in charge of the sports program and big celebration to be held here on July 1st, have al- ready booked a good attraction in the Lougheed Valletta Attractions. These peOple have been secured at a big expense and will put on a var- ied program in the grounds in the afternoon and in the rink in the ev- ening. Their work consists of some- thing for everybody and is a program that will interest both young and old. There are ten people in the company and they will be person- ally supervised by Mr. W. S. Gour- ley, manager and proprietor of the booking ofl‘ice through which they were engaged. I The proy'am will consist of com- edy trick house and knockabout, acrobatic,~contortion and iron jaw acts, community and popular songs, Scotch and Irish Dances, Pipe and Drum Band, Sailors” Hornpipes, Irish Reels etc. The committee in charge feel that they can guarantee patrons a full two hours’ entertainment with this company alone. Besides this program, arrange- ments are being made for Baseball, Lacrosse and Football matches. A program of sports for the kiddies is also being arranged for, and last, but not least, the Durham Citizen’s Band will be on hand at both afternoon and evening performances and rend- er a full program on both occasions. From present indications the big celebration on Dominion Day, the proceeds of which go to the. Red Cross Memorial Hospital, promises to be one of the good oldr-time alfairs at which everybody had the time of their lives and went home happy.
