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. ST.

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.

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.
