"TRUTH BEFORE FAVOR." PRINCIPLES NOT MEN. 1 VOL si, m 40 Fleslierton, Ont., Thursday, April 1 1, 1012 W. fl. TfiCRSTON EDIT'>B nail I'BOPlUETOl: - Rivers On The Rampage Heavy snow, no inter thaw and a eudden rite in temperature to spring 'laldm--- on Thursday list, continuing fur three days, were responsible for more financial loss in this county than was over before known. Tlie township of Arlemesia has been a heavy loser through loss of bridges, cul- verts and roadways. The (. . P. R. bridsje at Walkerton was washed away and jther damage was done out that way. Meaford had several dams demolished, flour mill and tannery swept away, and much other damage done, amounting to $100,000. At Owen Sound the harbor was strewn with wreckage of small craft, logs, trees, *tuu>p and timber swirling around as* though in .1 maelstrom, undermined buildings and damaged bridges, is the tale of Owen Sound's worst flood experi- euue. Five dams on the Pottawatomie and Sydeuham rivers were carried away. On the Sydenbsm the dam above Ingli*' r nils at luglit' Milk was carried out, followed in muck succession by that at Harrison's flour mills. The immense bodies of water backed up by these itruc- tures came down with a terrific rush, tarrying along a dozen or mote motor toata from the teoie or more hauled up Uong the shore for the winter. The temporary wouden bridge erected at 9th .- rvri two years ago was wrecked aud piles of wreckhge went tossirt; down the Niagara-like cutreot. Below the new Tenth-*treet cement biidge was a pile- driving pUnt on a ic>>w. Tho current wrenched I hit* from its moorings and, turning it over, it went crashing into the steamer Vennette, a pleasure boat owned by a local syndicate. The result was dis- astrous, a* the boat lies to-day with stern -uiik and its bow on the upturned scow of the piledriver. Scattered through i l^i harbor arc the wrecks of motor boots, while several of the fleet of fishing tugs MB scraped and battered by the impact of timber ind floating cakes of ice. But f _ while the Sydenham river put up the spectacular, the Pottawatamie river's rampag e did the greater damage. The danis at Wright's oatmeal mill. Nichol'S planing and .sawmills and Wright's Hour uiill gave way about the same time as those on the Sydeuham. The worst damage is the wrecking of the storehouse at the flour mill. The water cut through an embankment and made a watercourse causing the storehouse to topple over with its contents of mill stuff into the rushing water. A Urge iron tritti; bridge over the Saugeen at Durham was undermined and in the sight of hundreds of spectat- ors the in.' structure fell into the river. i his bridge was erected 6re years ago and will cost Jfo.ODO or 4.000 to replace Fourteen dams on the Credit river, from Alton to Port Credit, were washcj away by the freshets.

The putcha.se price was $>00, which is considered very low. Last wnek Mr. Middlelon i>f the Rocky lost a * 200 horse, which he had purchased just a few days before. A very serious operation was perform- ed Tuesday ou a four or five-year-old sUurhter of Mr. John Bartinan of Allan Park. The large bone of the leg had decayed, aud Drs. Gun and Hutton de- cided it was necessary to remo/e it. It teems the leg will have to be entirely re- moved, as it c.innot possibly he of any use as it is. The child is being eared for in town by nurse Carniont, but grave doubts are entertained as to her chnnces for recovery. --Chronicle.

A Big Seizure of Game Provincial (.>anie Inspector Holden and Inspector Jermyn of Wiarton paid ;i visit to Owen Sound last Friday and startled some of the citi/ens. The nefc result of their visit wax 55 partridges, '..'I hare ami two boxes of dressed hare. The pro- vincial gan:e laws are very strict, and any of this species of game after Jan. Hi of each year is liable to bo i-ouBcatecl mid a penalty impused for each bird or animal found. Wliile the open season close* on Dec. lf>tli a period is given until -I HI Hiih for disposition of the game. Thus while (lie partridge and hare seized by Inspect or Holden may have been shot during the open seaton, they are none 'the le&s liable to become confiscated. Tim seizure wits made at the cold storage warerooms of Messrs. Lemon llres.. where the ^auio was being -stored for different parties about town. The owner- ship of the big end of the lot is stud to iest with the Patterson House, wlulo the balance of thu property in said t> be owiu-ii by three very prominent business men.
