t nODERICH:
Major and Mrs, Parmelee and Mrs.
Mary Whitely; of Pittsburgh, Pa., are
residing in town this winter. The
ladies were fornter,residents. of this
section, Mrs. Whitley being the widow.
of the late Robert Whitely, of Goderich
township, and is now a nonogenarian.
With the exception of her eyesight she
is in possession of her faculties, Mrs.
Parmelee is her daughter, and sister of
Mrs. Jas. Connolly, corner of New-
gate and Albert streets.
Mrs. W, Bell received word this
week from her son; Benson, who is at
present with the 4th Reserve Battalion
at Witley Camp, England, stating that
he expects to sal for home some time
in January, Benson enlisted in the
161st battalion and served for six
months in France with the 47th batta-
lion.
Mr. A . Saunders, manager of the
Goderich Organ Co, expects to leave
befi,re the end of the present month
for France, where he will attend the
Annual World's -Fair held in March in
the city c,f Lyons. The Organ com-
pany have an exhibition of closet seats
and tanks at this fair, and, no doubt,
a goodly share of export trade will re-
sult,
The Dominion Road Machinery Co.
Ltd., this winter are nlaking.six more
of their rotary snow plows which were
put on the market last winter. Two
of these machines Were manufactured
last winter and have been in success-
ful operation in the city of Montreal,
where they had some real drifts to
contend with. The third machine to
be manufactured gave an exhibition on
the Square here on Saturday before its
shipment to Montreal, but as there was
little snow only a faint conception of
what the machine can do was got by
the spectators. The machine is drawn
by horse power but the motive power
to operate the rotary blades is supplied
by a 60 h. p. gasolle engine. The
blades are in two sections, one at each
side of the machine and are made to
rotate at a rapid speed in the opposite
direction to that In which the machine
is moving. In the centre of the ma-
chine is a sort of plow arrangement,
which divides the drift, causing part
to fall to each side in front of the
blades. These throw the snow up at
each side through a sort of funnel,
either scattering it broadcast or dump-
ing it on a sleigh driven alongside,
according as the hood is raised or
lowered, The machine costs up in the
thousands but for a city with much
snow to remove should prove a great
money saver in the speed at which it
can work.
The Goderich Salt Company' is hav-
ing a new well sunk at their plant, The
well is being drilled by a Montreal
