part of the teachers ciency of
the pupils in mprcbinie, : After the
processions came the iaoas, which
were all keenly cont etil,, affording
much interest, not OniSrAd the con-
testants, but to the large crowds that
lined the streets, while the clowns
in the calumpthian line„ever kept the
crowd enlivened and a ed. The
masquerade carnival on , street in
the evening was even lar and more
varied than that of the day, and
the costumes and chs eters repre-
sented, were certainly Brost striking
and caused much langbter and amuse-
ment, the holiday or making
spirit seeming to pervade all.
On the closing and i(iet day. Fri-
day, the weather was motit unfavor-
able, a driving snow strain coming on
which made it almost impossible to
be on the streets, hut very fortunate-
ly the weather of the preceding
Thursday and Wednesday had been
most favorable for the late season
of the year and allowing all the
ports, processions. aitd parades to
be held, and on Friday the Town Hall
served the purpose splendidly for
what had intended to be the scene of
the gathering to hear the address of
Hon. Mr. Biggs, Minister of Public
Highways, and other noted speakers.
On the arrival of Hon. Mr. Biggs at
the noon hour, he was welcomed by
the Citizens' Brass, Band, under the
leadership of Mr. Milne Rennie, at
the Commercial Hotel,, where a splen-
did banquet was tendered him by the
Board of Trade, when ,•about 50 sat
down to a most sumptuous dinner
which did credit to the host, Mr.
Young. .After the Reeve, Mr. Alex.
Smith, had tendered a hearty welcome
to the Hon. Mr. Biggs and gentlemen
present from other places,, all present
followed the honorable geeltleman to
the street pavement, where he de-
clared the street formally opened, by
cutting the cord across it at the post
office corners, or a little east of it.
After a few words had been given
by the Minis� relative to the splen-
did stretch a•!"1 .ment pavement cov-
ering the whole length of our Main
street, all repaired to the Town Hall,
which was well filled, and after the
chairman, Reeve Smith, had opened
the meeting and spoken a few well
chosen words of welcome and appreci-
ation of having the presence of the
Minister of Public Highways, who
had come such a long distance to be
present, he called upon the Warden
of the County of Huron. The mem-
ber for East Lannhton, Mr. L. W. Oke,
and Mr, Andrew Hicks, the U. F. 0.
member for South Huron, who, each
in the order given, gave short ad-
dresses dealing with the fine pave-
ment and the credit it reflected on
the Reeve, Council and villagers for
the support given, and what a splen-
did asset it was, not only to the vil-
lage, but also to the surrounding
cotfhtry and all using it, and how
Ontario was becoming more and piore
noted for its -good roads. Hon. Mr.
Biggs was then called upon for the
address of the afternoon which he
delivered in a most masterly and
splendid manner, complimenting the
village on its splendid pavement which
he believed, could not well be sur-
passed, and then proceeded to give a
most interesting speech of over an
hour dealing with the good roads
movement of which he had the hono
of being Minister of the Highways
speaking of the long stretches whit
now characterized the Province o
Ontario and which were being large
ly added to every year. He ale
spoke of the great saving they wee
to the farmers and all using them
of wear and tear to cars, and th
comfort withal], and advised th
farmers to take a trip each yeas
through the Province and see an
enjoy the good roads. He also show
ed very convincingly the saving
auto tires and the great asset goo
roads were in bringing in America
tourists by the thousands, who epen
their money freely, and made man
more gond points which we have no
space to enlarge upon. Suffice it t
say, he gave a most splendid addres
throughout, and complimented Burin
his short visit here our splendid` look

TOWNSHIP BOG
One of the largest drainage enter-
prises ever attempted in Huron is now
under way in Turnherry Township,
where ditchese are being excavated to
drain the famous "Turnberry hole,"
which caused alarm and concern
throughout the district some years
sinking, and almost immediately af-
terwards the depression extended for
some distance arounsl. Even in the
driest of summer cattle and horses
would sink to their fetlocks in the
hog and the road became impassable
because of a big pit which opened.
The pit appeared to be without bot -
tom and rails and posts would dis-
appear entirely when thrust into it.

Repairs which may later beeotae
necessary through cave-ins or similar'
accidents will be effected by the farm-
er on whose land the accident occurs_
While it was believed that the Gov-
ernment would subsidize such an ex-
tensive drainage scheme, it is order•
stood it was decided -to proceed with-
out recourse t , this assistance.
The work will cost something like
$2,600 for the ditching part of it, but
the returns will be worth Many times
that. The drains will carry off large
quantities of surface water as well
as water from the quagmire which
has been making a useless swamp of
a wide area for years. The ditches
will empty into the Maitland about
one and one-half miles from the Wm.
Campbell farm.
It has been noticed • on the Baird
farm, where the dredge has been
working for the last few days, there
are oily pools on the surface of the
water. There are many springs just.
at that point and it is believed the
oil is merely from vegetable matter
far 'below the surface.
Before the work proper could be
commenced on the ditching, trees and
stumps had to be removed and it
then became necessaryu to clear a
way for the dredge and the steel
rails on which it runs.
The dredge cute a drain about six
feet deep and throws the earth abqut
ten feet on each side.
Already some of the water seems
to have receded and hopes are held
that it will be only a few years till
the land alongside will be bearing
heavy crops of grain and roots.

high esteem in which you are held
by the C. W. L. We ask you to ac-
cept this little gift as a small token
of our friendship for you, hoping you
and your worthy husband may live
many years to enjoy your new home

ways entertain kindly feeling towards
you. Signed on behalf of, the C. W.
