REVIVING SALT .INTEREST.Salt
made Seaforth, or, to be more exact.
the discovery that in the earth under-
lying the present town were practical-
ly inexhaustible mines of . :the best
grade of salt, turnea a few primitive
dwellings where two main roads
crossed into the present and properous
town. At one time four salt blocks
flourished here, and . Seria'orth was
known to the copal:nuclei 'world by
the quantity and quality of the dim-
raodity placed on the market. One by
one, for :.va,rioris reasons, these indus-
tries have either passed out of exis-
tence or ceased ,to operate, the last to
cease being the Coleman block. The
latter, still standing as a monument of
prosperous days, when salt was not
only king, but bread' and butter and
meat and house rent to a large propor-
tion of the residents, closedits doors
some few. years ago. and if you fenquire
front the average citizen the reason
why, the reply will he "Leased by the
trust, or one of the big companies, and
then closed up." Now, unless present
plans inisearry, the • t own is again to
return to the salt that made it famoue,
A Company has been formed, compris;
ing local business . 'and profeesional
men, with the object of enge.ging in
the manufacture and production of

what is .known as the Merchants"
Block, or well, and a canvass for sub-
scriptions for the stock is meeting
with every success. The secretary, Mr
A.. Winter, said. ou Saturday' that the
prospects that a salt block, would be
in operation here within a year were
of the brightest, and to give additional
weight to his statement, exhibited a
number of checks for substantial
amounts that had been given by the
men backing the project. as a guaran-
tee that the matter had taken concrete
form. •• :.

tion was submitted : The town to
guarantee the bonds of the company
to the extent of $500,000 fer thirty
years, and for security to receive pre-
ferred stock bearing five per cent, in
addition to this the town to construst
a plant' at " an estimate cost of from
$0,000 to $10,000 for the distribution of
the current. Power would cost at Sea -
forth $25.43 per horse power a year,

Muariciear. - There is
beginning to be talk of the inanicipal
elections in January. Now that the
Reeve will be a !neither of the cOunty
council, there will be more interest in
the election to that position, and if
.current rumor goes for anything,there
will be no dearth of candidates. At
the nominations last year,Alex Young
announced his intention of re-entering
the municipal field in 1007, believing
that if elected reeye of Celborne he
airoidd Invite it good chance for the
Wardenship of the county. We unclee-
.stand that Mr. Young still holds to
this intention, and as he is well known'
as a man of experience in municipal
affairs, he will be .a strong carall.late.
Bat he will not have it all his own
way. Richard Jewell, the present
reeve, will doubtless try again, and he
has many friends. H. J. A .1‘10Ewen,
Who has made a good councillor since
he went in two years ago, is thinking
of asking for promotion to the Reeve -
ship, ;uid CouncillorMcillanus is credit.
ed with similar intentions.Jaeob Moser
was looked upon as a likely candidate,
but as he is moving out Of the town-
ship, he is probably out of the field,
We have not heard of any new candi-
dates for councillor, but they will
doubtless appear in good time.

' MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. -•-• Goderich
town council for 1907 will probably
have several new members. Mayor
Tilt states positively that he will not
again be a candidate. Councillor R.R.
Sallows has made up his mind not to
seek re-election. Arr. G. F. Blair is
also inclined to retire. Councillors
Young, Goldthorpe and Clark will
probably have their names on the
municipal ticket once more. A. name
that is mentioned in connection with
the next mayoralty contest,in addition
to that of Rev. Joseph Elliott, is that
of Dr. W. F. Clark. Dr. Clark is the
oldest sitting member of the council
since the membership of that body
was reduced to the present number,
