Mr. Gilbert McKechnie showed no uncertainty in his desire to establish a Factory. He thought the town should endeavor to work up the raw material. which, according to govern- ment analysis had a much higher per centage of carbonate of lime than‘ that now being used in the works at Shallow Lake. He then pointed out that the Rathbun Co., of Deseronto. 3 had recently formed an amalgamation with another Compan vand are increas« ing their capital to a million dollars. The first Step, he thought. would be to get the charter, form a Joint Stock Company, and after showing big local faith in the scheme outsiders could be asked to invest. Mr, J. M.

We are pleased to be able to an- nounce to our readers that we are contemplating arrangements with a large publishing firm for a handsome picture of the great general, Lord Roberts. the pride of Tommy Atkins, and of the nation to which he belongs. The picture will be an exact repro- duction of the original painting by a famous artist.- Every subscriber to THE Cnnomcm: will have an oppor- tunity to secuso a cepy of this picture and our readers would do will to wait until they see a sample before secur- ing an inferior picture at greater cost. A further announcement will shortly be made. We might say, as a guar- antee that the picture will be all that we claim it to be, that the publishers of the picture are the Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal. who are noted for the excellence of their pictures. Ye Editor in responding to a call. regretted that lack of financiaI leverage prevented more than his moral support and the influence he could exert through the columns of 'I‘nr. CHRONICLE. He referred briefly to the work done. and time and money spent by Mr. Neil McKechnie in bringing the scheme to its present form. The government analyses of the samples submitted, he pointed out confirmed the opinion of InSpector Blue that we have “a Klondyke at our feet,” which behaves us as a. com~ munitv. not only for the benefit of the town, but surrounding country to develop at the earliest possible date. Mr. Ramage being: called upon re- ferred to the success growing out of the cement business in other places where the industry was now in oper- ation. and expressed his belief that our natural resources should be de- veloped.
