In years gone by we heard much about the neck of the bottle, as the valley below Edenvale bridge through which the river takes its course, is called. Various plans have been suggested for utting off bends in the" river andendeavoring to straighten thecourse as a means of allowing the ood waters to get away more rapid- ly. .

(Written by Mark Robinson) In a recent issue of The Examiner there appeared a story regarding the drainage of the Nottwasaga River and the reclaiming of several thou- sand acres of land. Reference was made to the rapids being cut out from the lower rapids near Oakview up to Jack's Lake and the benet this piece of work might do toward draining the submerged lands. xv- A-..I..; .. 13---- L__...1_j-,1 , -I snows HOW FLOOD | AREA IS DRAlNABLE[ Location of NottawaSag'a_Rivef Obstaclesv Pointed Out; Drain Plan Hint.

The horse shriek drew him to Nicely s animal in the centre stall in piteous stampede in the ames. With much difficulty he got to his head, out the halter and, throwing one arm over the animal s eyes, twisted him toward the door. The frightened beast tried to turn back, butthe horseman managed him. His hands were burned and he had inhal-A ed nocuous gases affecting his throat, but he turned to his own horses, sep- arated from Nicely s by a thin parti-' tion, cut them loose and_ got them clear.
