railway tended before Parliament can meet To tear Up Main Street at this time of year would of course cause great damage the merchants Mr Roche- is a large property holder on Main Street and determined that he would not allow street to be thus torn up therefore he applied for an injunction to stop the work which was granted until Tuesday the in and was then continued lor a Week The Railway Co repaired the road things are now going in the same old way It seems that the Railway Co asked repeatedly that if they intended to tun their cars on Main Street to arrange to have work done early in the summer but they did not do it evidently suiting their own con venience This to he the way with all A horse came very nearly being mir ed last Friday where the road had been broken up Boys

Hall on Friday evening last and from all reports it the same oppor tunity again presented all who at tended would again be among the audience The major part of the en tertainment was given by the Victoria College Glee Club who were up in full force to the number about and Hamilton elocutionist but even with this talent it would have been incomplete had it not been for a couple of beautiful solos one rendered by Miss Lily Crossley and the other by Miss Hazel McBride The citizens of King always having high hopes as to what the fu ture of their town would be and tak ing much pleasure in watching its at tempts at climbing the ladder of pros perity perhaps few know that it is now likely to go up two rungs of lie ladder at a time but such are the prospects Some two months ago a couple of men from Toronto who were prospecting for marl which is largely used in manufacture of Portland Cement ran across what appeared to be a valuable deposit in the vicinity of Hales Lake which is situated on Lot 12 Con about two miles north ol King City Having instru ments with them to test the depth of the marl beds they did so and found it entirely satisfactory it being in many places feet thick and in other places so thick that the instruments they had with them could not test the depth and on analysis the marl shew ed to be very valuable giving torn to OH per cent of lime which is the highest percentage of any deposit in Canada The prospectors imme diately proposed buying from Mr Rodger Hall on whose farm the ma jor portion of the lake was situate arid he agreed to sell the whole one hundred acres At this time the Company was not formed but negoti ations were pushed forward and about two or three weeks ago an agreement was entered EnUi whereby they Seed red lie farm of Mr Rail and several acres from other parties who owned land around the lake even buying a portion of itself where on examination they found a very large bed of marl under the water They have an option on other land in the vicinity which is expected they will eventually secure In the organization ol the Company had taken nod Company known as The Toronto Portland Cement Co Limited of Dresden and Toronto with a capital Slock of- in shares of each was incorporated with practical and experienced men at its head The head office of the Com- piny is at Dresden and for this district Mr J has been appointed to whom ap plications and subscriptions or stock etc may be given The Di rectors at the present time propose to erect factory In Toronto where will have unexcelled shipping facilities and as cheap a supply of coal as can be purchased In Ontario but they are awaiting the result the experiments a chemical expert who has hopes of being able to utilize for fuel purposes a gas which is generated in the process of manu facture of and in the event of his success ful plant will of course be located at marl beds which are just a couple of miles north town It- is Intention of company to run a two mile switch to the day from the Grand Trunk road In the early spring so as to better their shipping facilities This of couihc is regardless of whether the factory Is located in King or in Toronto we will ail doubtless hope that cir cumstances will place the factory at the- marl beds for while excavat ing and dredging of the marl will cm- ploy a large gang men a far larger number would be employed If the plant is situated here Space will not permit rne to give further particulars as the planso the Company- though any informa tion will be gladly given on applica tion to Mr But operations of this Company are not the only signs of future great ness our town shows A lew months ago Messrs McDonald Son were ordinary country general storekeep ers while today they employ quite a staff of salesmen and the amount of business they do would be a credit to a hustling firm in town They are also selling agents for The Harris Co and or the only Canadian firm manufacturing under a Canadian patent a
