hand from selected and graded leather.
No "faultyr6 leather gets past the cutter.
The best- leather known in the soles -
No. 1 Oak. No tutlno stitching in the
uppers, but silk only:. IL, is absolute

THE MAITIAND ON A RAMPAGE
Prime dam damaged and several
bridges destroyed
Following the mild weather of
few days last week the Maitland river
began to rise aid on Saturday had
.
reached such proportions as 'tooutdo
any former record, barring perhaps
the ,flood of August 29 years ago,
when the bridge over the Maitland
was put out of business and the
Wilsunskatrng rink and Livingston
flax barn swept away. Saturday's
freshet was inure dangerous from the
quantity of heavy ice above the
clam.

ing to 'open rile surety gateways on
the East side of Lhe dam and strength-
ening the timbers over the gates
which they succeeded partly in doing.
The water Saturday ucoe had .risen
to such a height as to flood the low

seined was more like a lake thana
river.
J. H. Galbraith's sale stable, the
Kuitl%trg factory, and the Electric
Light power (louse were flooded,

Abuut L80 the ice on the mill dant
started to wove and came down vvsey th
such a rush as to carry all bethre

pressure of water, ice, floating trees
aid other debris,. would destroy the
mill dam and part of it. near
the Gentle did give away but the new
cement wall stood the test.
During the movement of the ice a
Mtge portion on the West side of the
river above the darn, that had been
lifted high by the water gob moving
and the current swept it against a
large water tank used as supply to
the boiler of the Pi yne Milling Co.
It struck the foundation and upset31t51e

the heavy sinus wall of the engine
house and piledalongside it before
the force was spent.
The river banks had great chunks
of ice cast high (above the usual water
line and fences were pulled up and the
trees strippers of their bark as the
great cakes of ice sped on tow=ard, the
lake. Hundreds of people were Mit
to see the rushing, swirling torrent of
waters. Several photographic views
were Laken of various situations.
Fortunately Sunday's telnperattiro
was very lurch cooler so that the
great rush of waters hada chance to
subside considerably. Wherever tate
concession lines were located near the
river tile roadways were inundated to
u y feet. and cul-
verts and roadbeds were seriously
datnagc:d by the action of the water
and ice.
