It i\ ' to tbe commanity at large A very important meeting is being held to day, Thursday, at Kimberly to be addressed by our member, Mr. Jos. Borke, on the Government drainsigo act. The object of the meeting is to dredge the Beaver river at four places between Kimberly and Heathcote so as to make smooth water between the two places. It is estimated that about 4,000 acres of the best land in Ontario will thus be relcaimed. The four places in the river at which drainage and piling are to be done, are shallow and back the waters up over the land. The celebrated lot over which such a fuss is made about Mr. Fawcett. is in ail seasons whuUy covered with water bo much so that hi the dryest times you can paddla a canoe over every acre of it. Money caai l»e had from our excell-, ent Outario Government for the pur- pose at 4%, and any benefits accru- ing to the Government will be de- ducted from the principal. Theappar- Rtus used for the purpose is a portable dredge and pile ^iver. The dredge IS such that it can work in two feet of water. The land, when reclaimed, will be worth about $20 an acre, and most of it is heavilyltim bared, and the soil is exceedingly rich. Bus work Passed.â€" We are pleased this week tc- congratulate Mr. W.
