DAM DESTROYED
Co-operating with the Ont. Game
and Fisheries Department and with
residents of the Arktera district, the
Frst Divisional Engineers of London
blew up the dant across the Aux
Sauble river at Arica= on Saturday
/last, the ' dam was known as Rock
Glen. The dam prevented Ore fish
from making their way ap the river
in the spring. It was built 30 years
ago at a cost of $20,00tia and was
-used to develop power for the village
and the mill, this is now aupeed b
the Hydro System.
LESS DONE ON CO. ROADS
Owing to so much wet weather the
roads were in bad condition, espec-
ially the newly constructed ones, and
a great deal of repair to put them in
shape again. Last year the county
engineer spent $/25,004 em the co-
unty roads of which the Provincial
Highway paid half. The Highway
Dept has instructed the engen.eer to
keep the expenditures •down to $75,-
1800 so there" wiRhe fittlerrew work
done this year. It is prababre that
the comity countiawill just ask for
a one mill rata this year instead of
ae and one-half for acne roads.

The Behnore chopping mill was de-
srtoyed by fire recently, The prop-
rietor, Mr. Sterling Haskins, was
using a blow -torch to heat the start-
ing apparatus on the oil engine, when
the torch exploded and flames soon
devoured the frame structure. Mild-
may and Teeswater fire brigades an-
swered the appeal for help, but their
efforts were in vain. This is the se-
cond mill to be destroyed on the
same site within a few years, and it
is not likely that the proprietor will
rebuild.
The death of Elizabeth Clark, wid-
ow of Capt. John Richie Cragie, God
erich, on Friday night, recalls an in-
teresting chapter in the marine his-
tory of the early days of the section
her husband being a skipper and fish-
erman out of that port for many ye-
ars in the past century, Mrs. Cragie
was in her 83rd year., She came to
Canada as a child with her parents
from the Orkney Islands, Scotland,
settling in Goderieh where she resid-
ed all her lifetime. she was a direct
descendant of the Covenanters of
Scotland, a lifelong Presbyterian and
a member of Knox @lurch, and is
survived by one son, Robt. W. of Tor-
onto and two daughters.
Trek -to Artic Outpost
Those who have the love of adven-
ture ever lurking in their bones, and
find a fascination in seeking valuable
metal in the northern outposts of the
Dominion, are now turning their at-
tention to the great possibilities wra-
pped up in that northern hinterland
of Canada known as the Coppermine
River district. The Coppermine Ri-
ver is a fastflowing stream about
500 miles in length, emptying into
Coronation Gulf on the Arctic Ocean
Sir John Franklin followed this riv-
er down to its mouth in 1831. He
and later explorers reported the ex-
istence of copper along the river and
these reports have interested vari-
ous mining companies, which, since
the advent of aerial transportation,
have done considerable, prospecting
in that remote part of Canada's
northland.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Horner Bagshaw, well-known trans
port man of Exeter, had a narrow es-
cape from death when in the most
violent electric storm of some years
which ' visited Exeter on Monday
morning. Ile was hurled to his knees
by a bolt, which shattered a window
four feet away from him and tore
large stones from the foundation of
his house. Mr. Bagshaw had just
diseonnected the aerial from his radio
and the bolt, which partly spent it-
self along the aerial, struck his barn
In a few minutes a spectacular blaze
attracted the residents, the most of
whom had already been awaeened by
the crash of thunder. The barn was
a total los, there being no Maar- 4
. ilorv:41.6.vs car was sated.
