One thing that inspresses a visitor
the fine location. A eite of twelve
more acree in an elighle position, hi
and dry, on both eides the G. T.
tracks, with excellent esvitch acoo

such an industry, as well as a adv

G. T. R. No aer looation could ha

First, it must be remembered th
the plant now in operation will con -
Untie to do its duty aloin the line of
inereased production ; indeed, it may
be mede even more useful, by being

Another point to be noted is the
very substantial constrnetion of the
buildings, There is nothing of the
'flimsy, cheap sort. that vomited the
advent of the old National Iron Works
humbug, but the buildings are of
eolid brick, on cement foundations.
and svell bt.ilit. Mr, T. Kennedy of
Toronto, is the architect and carefully
watches the details. Our reporter
found him busy in his office, where he
courteously showed us the plans, and
gave any information deeired. Every-
thing about the buildings conveys the
idea, that the Co. contemplates big
business, coupled with permanence.
' The first building of the new plant
We reach, is the moulding shop, 200
feet long by 80 wide, giving a floor
space of 16,000 square feet; it is not
only roomy, but well lighted and
amply ventilated. Adjoining this is
the cupola blinding 20x30. These are
completed, and the cupola, erected
neatly ready for work.
Then there is the power -house 41x60,
where two large boilers will be in-
stalled. A new Wheelock engineof
150 horsepower will be placed here,
and an electric plant for power and
lighting the works.
Convenient to the moulding shop is
the mounting shop, 172 feet long, by
50 wide. This building is also com-
pleted.
A large force of men are now at
work on the new ware -rooms. • This
building will be 250 feet long and 60
feet wide giving a first floor surface
eef 15,000 square feet.
Other buildings are planned; among
them will be a large building fronting
an Water street, comprising store,
boarding-house, etc, It is intended
that this building shall have thirty-
five bed -rooms, •
There will also be an addition built
to the office building, size 20 x 30,
which will be fitted up in modern con-
venient style to facilitate the increas-
ed volume of business expected.
From this, it will be seen that the
Western Foundry Co. intend. to
"make good" in the extension and
development of their industry in this
town. This is evident to any person
who se -es the plane, notes the sub-
stantial character of the buildinge,
and gets an inkling of the inaniense
volume of business that the Company
is preparing to handle, and that it al-
ready has in sight. The enlargement
and development of this industry
mans much tor the Town of Wing-
)._ hata,
The Advance learns that the pay
roll for the month of May Was $0 700,
and when the new plant 18 in fell
operai ion, it is expected that it will
be at least double that, and poseibly
each $180,000, or $200,000 annually.
The Advance acknowledges the
couttesy of the Manager, Mr. Oun-
nioglians, the Accountant, Mr. Sin-
clair, and the Architect, Mr. Kennedy,
. in so freely giving the information
obtained.
We may add, that Mr, Cunningham
hopes to make the first cast from the
new shops about July lst.

The Waterworks and Electric Light
accounts were also passed.
By-law 652 fixing the rate of taxa-
tion at 26 mills was read three times
and passed.
The Mayor thought that now Wing -
ham had day electric power, some
steps should be taken to advertise the
Town's advantages The Executive
committee will look after the matter.
The new Health Act being now in
force, the old Board of Health is at an
end, and under the new Act the Board
consiets of the Mayor, the Health
Officer and one member appointed by
Council, The Mayor, Dr. Redmond
and A. E. Porter now compose the
Board of Health.
Mr. Oaslick asked for Water service
on Catharine street. The matter will
engage the attention of the Water-
works committee, and if revenue war-
rants the expenditure, service will
be given.
The matter of daneage caused re-
cently at the dam was brought up,
and it was left with the Waterworks
committee to see that some person
was reeponsible for the care of the
dam in such emergencies.

Damage Prom Flood.
The heavy rains of May caused
much damage, not only to crops on
low lands, but in many cases to pro-
perty. Last Wednesday night the
water in the Maitland rose rapidly,
and a,Ithough as much escape as pos-
sible was given it at the upper dam,
much damage was caused. Unexpect-
ed drift wood lodged during the night
against the standards, near the mill,
with the result that the water rose
and over -flowed the road in front of
the niill, cut away the roadway,
breaking a large hole in the founda-
tion of the will, and carrying the
gravel from the road into the base-
ment of the mill, Early Thursday
morning the damage was discovered,
but it took some time to remove the
many tons of gravel that interfered
with- the operation of the mill ma-
chine/ y. Mr. Howson's loss will be
considerable, besides the . cost to the
Town of again refilling the breach in
the roadway. Not for many years,
1.tas there been so much water pass
lawn old Maitland's channel, as this
year.
Easier Pot By-laws.
Towns that wish to aid industries
will now find it easier to carry by
laws. By recent legislation of the
provincial government the grantiug of
bonuses or loans to manufectin log
concerns has been eonsiderably simpli-
fied.' It lie no longer neeessary to ob-
tain a sixty per cent. favorable vote of
all the ratepayers to validate encli a
measure. The new act reads thas in
the part dealing with this perticular
phase :—To render valid a, by-law for
granting- a bonus in aid of a manufac-
turing industry the assent of three-
fourths of all the Council and of two-
thirds of the ratepayers who actually
vote on the by-law shall be neceisary.
The effect, of this will be at once ap-
parent in the fact that if the Council
ehould happen to be practically a unit
for any bonus by-law, it will be dif-
ficult to defeat ib as it would be a very
unsatisfactory measure in the nature
of assistance to an industrial proposi-
tion which would not secure the votes
of three out of every four of the rate-
payers who actually register votes.
Fishing With Snowsbovel.
That may sound strange, but- it is
true even in Wingham. Last Thurs-
day, the water wee very high and for

Stopped His Train.
On May 13th last, Engineer Gariepy,
while his locomotive on the Montreal
division of the C. P. R., was at full
speed, saw a dog on the track ahead
of him. Not wishing to kill even a
dog, Gariepy applied the brakes, and
brought the train to a stop. Still the
dog did not move, and on examina-
tion, there was found crouching down
behind the dog, a little child, all
unconscious of the danger. The dog
had refased to leave the child, and the
engineer in saving the dog, had also
saved a child's life. And now on the
records of the C. P. R there is this
brief entry :—"R, Gariepy, engineer,
credited with five marks for fore-
thought in stopping a. train on seeing
dog on track, discovering a small
child on track behind the dog, May
13, 1012"
Some Good Cattle.
A correspondent sends the follow-
ing t—William Yeo of the 2nd con-
cession of Turnberry has sold three
steers to John Black of Fergus, that
are worthy of mention. The cattle
were 2 years, 5 months; 2 years, 2
months, and 2 years, 3 months old
respectively, and weighed 1510 lbs.,
1340 lbs., and 1530 lbs. Besides having
these remarkable weights they were
extremely smooth, straight and evenly
fleshed. Mr. Black bought these cattle
for Mr. Geo. Pritchard of Gueiph,
who intends fitting them for the To.
ronto Eehibition and later for the fat
Stool bbow at Guelph. The price paid
was eight cents per pound. Now
what's the matter with the 2ad con-
cession of Turnberry, and who can
beat this record. These steers are
Durham grades, and good enough
to pose for a photo. I once visited
Ur. Yeo's stables, when these cattle
were yearlings, and found their
mangers filled with raangolde, which
they could eat at will and which
it would seem are very good food.

FOOTBALL MATTERS.
To The Editor
Dear Sir :—A ruttior is abroail thee
the football game played between
Brussels and Winghans, in Brussels,
Oa Empire day was a League fixture,
but such is not the case. Winghare

under the circumstances did very
well, the score being 2-1 in favor of
Brussels.
Wingharo's victory over Brassels in
the first League teach of the season,
May 28th, placed the team at the head
of the list, a position whieh they still
held. as Seaforth lost to Brocefield,
2-4-0 in Brucefield on May 31st, arid
Btussels defeated Brucefteld, in Btuce-
fleicl, On June 3rd.
Football is corning into its own
again and the glory that was once
Winghare's, may reet with us again,
for theee's a real live team in town,
so just get excited and back the hop;
to win out
