Engineer Reports Little Damage.—
Contrary to the expectations of every-
one, the roads of Huron county are in
splendid shape after a winter which,
it was expected, would leave them im-
passable
m-
pa t hle for weeks, County Engineer
Roy Patterson reports that there are
nt badly broken roads anywherein
the county and ro road has been out
of use as a reseit of frost damage, In
additien to that the frost has practic-
ally a:1 gone from the ground except
insheltered places. The reason for
this surprising state of affairs is that
there has been little rain and no warm
weather. Had warm rains fallen on
:he deeply frosted roads or had the
suit conte hitt hint, the frost would
Lave been drawn out in a few .clays
leaving quagmires in places of roads.
"those spots on the pavements which
heaved a few weeks ago are quietly
settling. 'It is possible that a few IOW
spots will need some work done on
then,- before they are just right again.
Mr. 'Patterson explains that a method
.:,1 raising low spots in favor in the
States but net yet tried nu: in On: re-
l.., is known as the "mud -jack" inetil-
od. A slight opening is made beside
'rite low- ,spot in the pavement and into
' this a pressure gun forces mud. This
iraises the level of the pavement and
when allowed to dry out gives a hard
`e.r'udation.-Gorlerich 'Star.

chow owned by Dave Brow=n, was
well known to passer-by of Robins'
clothing store where it •was 'his wont
to spend: most of his tinie. "Hyniie"

recognized recently on a London

iosity was aroused and he traced the
