SOME A
ITIONAL LOCAL NE
USEFCI, INDUSTRY CLOSED.
The Salt Works at Stapleton has
ceased operations.
To old residents in Clinton and
vicinity that statement will call up
a long line of old memories.
The Stapleton Salt Works Were or-
iginally started. lifty years ago by
the Ransford 13ros., Richard and
John, and for a good many years
now have been conducted by the lat-
ter.
'rhe News -Record is informed that
the high cost of coal transportation
together with the fact that the con-
tinued operation of the plant would
necessitate a large outlay of further
capital which the locality, owing to
the aforementioned cause, lack of
transportation facilities, would not
warrant, was the cause ,leading to
the closing of the works.
The industry during the llfty years of
its existence has been the medium of
putting into circulation Wallis local-
ity hundreds of thousands of dollars
and its shutting down, we should
think, would prove a, distinct loss
to the merchants of the town and
also to the farmers of the vichd ty
who have foe so inapy• years been tie-
customed to get their supplies of
salt direct from the Works.
111 earlier days the Salt Works was
a veryi important industry here, ev-
en more so than of tate years, em-
ploying a large staff of men ani
Paying out large sums, yearly hi
wages. When the 9011111831 was
younger and bush land was being
cleared the Stapleton Salt 'Works
was also a marIcet for a large
amount of timber. Wood was the
fuel used and also in those days a
cooperage was operated in connection
andall thebarrels used were manuinc-
turedonthepremises. For a good many
years, however, barrels could bo
purchased (di less vost than they
could be mantflactured.
Mr. John ilansford, who for sever..
al years Past has been sole. proprietor
of this industry, has finis been in
business continuously for over fifty
years. A. long business career, Cer-
tainly,
"Everyone who Was in business
when we started fifty years ago,"
said Mr. Ransford 111 conversation_
with. The News -Record the other day,
"has either dropped out, been kicked
°tit, or carried out to the etenetery."
The veteran aalt manufacturer awl
farmer or 'Ptielseramith looks goad
for ninny 'more years or activity,
however, and, he has a string of In-
terests of one eat and (Mother whin
will solre to fully (weepy Ms time
and to which he will have more
time to devote now that he has not,
to look after the Salt Werke. •
SOME REAL ESTATE CHANGES.
The ,Jackson cottage on Ontario
street (5(188(11(1 011 Saturday last to
Mr. T. A. Oreig, who has 015(001 3'
taken possession. The price paicl
was $2050. The cottage is com-
plete in every respect, has all mod-
ern conveniences and will make a
comfortable and cosy home for Mr,
Greig and family.
The house from which Mr, Greig
moved on •Joseph street, width he

Mr, R. Jenkins of the 113th conces-
sion has purchased the residence of
Mr. John May, Rattenbury street and
gets possession almost at mice. Mr.
Jenkins intends coming into Clinton
to, reside and will probably do so
beforethe snow runs mway into the
river. He has procured for himself
a comfortable home and will be wel-
comed,. with his family, to citizen-
ship in Clinton.
