With the doge approach of spring,
activities at the waterfront are being
stepped up and the harbor presents. a
a busy scene at Goderich. The Wil-
liam Sehupp is discharging her car-
go of wheat at the Western Canada
elevator and is the last of the winter
fleet to unload. A good deal of re-
pairing and refitting still remains to
be done on some of the vessels of the
fleet. All through the winter a large
number of men have been engaged in
such work:indeed it 'has been a record
season in this respect.
Crews of C.S.L. ships are under

Vault Opened After 35
Years
An unused vault at Gordon Wong's
restaurant has for years taken up a
space about ten feet square, and no-
body was able to unlock it, Deciding
that he needed the space, Gordon got
in touch with John W, Locking, a loc:k
expert of Owen Sound, who came to
town and after several hours' work
yesterday on the etiety mechanism
opened the vault. Papers found in the
vault indicated that it had been used
by the pople who built the C. P. R.
line to Goderich ever thirty-five
years ago, and evidently it had never
been opened since that time. Mr.
Locking makes a business of uelock-
ing safes, and has had some interest.
