THE FURNITURE FACTORY A LETT'ER TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL Button & Trevett Want The Loan Extended To the Counci4 (1 the -Killage (1 Lucknow. GENTLEMEN,—When our firm pur- chased the Lucknow Furniture factory we were given t� understand that the ratepayers of the villaee would be willing to extend the time for pay- ment 'Of the loan granted to; the tins of Cliff FOrSter SOBle seven years ago to encour ige and enlarge the man- ufacture of furniture in this place. This loan was given for a period of ten years, Messrs. Cliff Forster agreeing _to pay back _the principal in install- ments of $250.00 for nine years and the balance of $2750.00 at the ex- piration of the tenth yesr. Our understanding was to have le time extended, that instead of paying off the $2750.00 at the. end of- the ten years, that we continue to pay $250.00 per annum uutil the whole amount was paid, the whole'of the payment being complete at the end of the twenty year period for which the money was borrowed by the village. We uuder- stand that in accordanee with the above a nuisserously signed petition was presented to your honorable body, praying that a by-law be submitted to the people with a view to haviug the Joan so extended, but it was laid over for future consideration as many con- sidered it unnecessary to bring the matter up until the flea period of tee years had expired.

Our position is this :—If we are going to get an extension, we purpose moving over a lot of our Tees - water plant and enlarging our premises, and as a result einploying more men. If we aro not going to .get the ex- tension, then we will have to do with our present premises and sell all we can of the Teeswater machinery, etc., order -to provide for the payment of the loan which falls due in about two years. Should it be that the loan is not ex- tended, we would have to cramp our- selves in order Co provide for the pay- ment of the $2750.00 falling due so shortly after starting here. Our object in coming to Lucknow was to 'place ourselves in a position to compete with firms 'who are assisted by the towns and iillages in which they are situated, and we put every confidence in the people of Lucknow that they will give us the desired extension of time, which will). to sorae extent place us on a footing with other firms. We do not wish to keep on the two fac- tories and will not entertain any proposition the Teeswater people may make, provided we get what we expected to get when we took hold of the Luckuow factory. There is an increasing demand for the kind of fut- niture we manufacture, both in Can- ada and Great Britain, aed if we can. enlarge our plant we can manufacture for both markets, do a much larger busidi-ss and as a consequence employ more men, which would be a mutual advantage to the village and ourselves. We trust therefore, gentlemen, that you will submit the necessary by-law to the ratepayers as soon as possible in order that we may know what to do. Our Teeswater business is now in such a shape that we can move over here at almost any time, but don't feel like moving anything before the by-law is passed.

Mrs. Robinson, upon being told of the sad affair, was prostrated with grief. She clung to the cold form of her husband and was inconeolable.

If he hal arisen to the surtace no liotice wouhl probably have been taken, as the meu were flounder- ing about cutting up in every conceiv- able way, and an unconsciois form bobbing about on the surface would atsract no more than passing notice. Mr. Robinson bad lived in Butte for 10 years. He has no immediate relatives here besides a wife and a boy 4 year old, He was born in Toronto, 35 years ago. The funeral services were held at his late home,- 632 East Broadway, at 2 o'clock yesterday afteraoon. There Was a great outpouring of the friends of the deceased, who followed his body to the grave.

As soon as word could be brought to the city; the coroner was notified and at 4.30 o'clock the body was brought to this city in charge of Undertaker Sherman, and .later in the day removed to the family residence in the rear of 632 East Broadway. Saturday evening. about 16 couples, young and married,- congregated at Mr. and Mrs. Robins -411's home to spend the evening in social converse. The party concludeid to drive out to Thornton Springs to have a dance. About 1.30 o'clock, after supper, a dozen or more of the titen repaired to the plunga to enjoy a swinz. The pool is about 40 x 20 feet and five or six feet deep. There was a dense steam arising from the pool and one could - not distinguish another the length of the plunge. The men were enjoying themselves and having a royal good time, when George Nevin, brother-in- law of Robinson, asked: "Where is Bohr. meaning rt. Robinson. Mr. Robinson, like., Rh& companions, ran from the dressirTrusm and dove into the plunge. Tiede eas the last seen of him, although mite fuirtion was paid to him as all hadt ing Amitsi the pool in at te like manner.- Nevin asked sit oo where Robinson outvic the others naturally began to itlok about, and not seting him, the search began in earnest. llis companions dove to the bottom in several places, and John Wilson was the one to make the horrible discovery that their companion was drowned.
