Attention has been Paid to Permanent Work on Roads Both in the Towns and in the Country Parts.New Industries Have Been Established, and Others Have Been Enlarged.Provincial Government\u2019s Good Roads Act Will be Taken Advantage of.Outlook is Very Bright.The Record publishes to-day special reports sent in by correspondents relative to the work being carried on by the various municipal councils.As will be seen, much attention is being paid to good roads.It will also be observed that the industries in the Eastern Townships are increasing, and certain sections are becoming quite large industrial centres.MANY CHANGES AT FARNHAM.Farnham, January 25.\u2014(Special) \u2014During the year 1912 many changes have taken place in Farpham.A large expenditure has been made in buildings, wages and general improvements.Of course the double tracking of the C.P.R.to St.Johns, the rebuilding of culverts in cement, the enlargement of the freight sheds and platforms, rebuilding of bridges, etc, have employed a great force of men and scattered a great deal of money.The Central Vermont Railway has been practically rebuilding its road.The moving, repairing, etc., of their buildings, has added a great deal to the demand for help.All summer gangs of men have been employed, a great number of them having to live in boarding cars, as the hotels and boarding houses have been continually overcrowded.The different industries have given constant employment to a great number of men.The Dominion Safe and Vault Company have kept about 200 men steadily employed all summer making safes, vault floors and frames, pulleys of all kinds as well as turning out the celebrated portable grist mills, for which they have had an unlimited order.Tbs J.M.Fortier Tobacco Co, Ltd, have enlarged their operations greatly, not only in the tobacco line, but they have fitted up a commodious building in which one hundred and fifty or two hundred girls are engaged in making cigars.Kollender Bros, have added several new buildings to their plant, also machinery of the most modern type, dry houses and store rooms, etc.Their business in windows, doors, etc., have extended all over the Townships and every week they are making shipments to Montreal.The Pickering Wheel Co.has been organized and has commenced work and great things are expected in the future ftom the enterprise.Since the great fire building operations have gone on very rapidly, so much so that there are only two or three vacant spots remaining.Handsome cement and brick blocks have been built by Notaries N oiseux and Laurette, A.Giroux, and others, not forgetting to men-.on the newly completed Town Hall and Court House combiued, a very handsome building, costing about fifty thousand dollar^ The Town Council have been energetic in forcing the rebuilding of all sidew'alks, etc., in concrete, and much progress has been made in road making and repairing, with the promises of still greater results in the future, especially since the farmers in the Parish are awakening to the fact that the Good Roads movement has come to stay, likewise the automobile, and it is hoped even the electric railway in the near future.I Just recently an entertainment was ' given in Strathcona Hall by them.The proceeds of the same will go towards the further improvement of the park.Nos as to the work for 1913.In the first place it is the purpose of the \u2022 Council to perfect the town water works and sewerage «system.Also the Council has already decided to make a loan from the Government for the purpose of macadamizing some of the important streets of the town.This ought to be done in connection with the perfecting of the water system.It is als0 the purpose of the Board of Trade to inspire all the inhabitants of Scotstown to improve their own property, also to endeavor to get more of a population in the town by inducing new manufacturers to locate here.So take it altogether if everything goes well Scotstown will be a busy town during the year that is just entered upon.Aside from this let it be remembered that Scotstown has three industries which give work the year round.The most important is the Guelph Patent Cask Company who have the best equipped veneer plant on the Continent.This Company is also planning for improvements for the future.Scotstown, January 25.\u2014(Special) \u2014It seems but right and proper that at the beginning of another year each town should take a backward look on its own doings and find out if possible what advancement or improvements have been made in its affairs.It should also at the same time take a forward look and see what can he done in the years to come.Scotstown in looking over its doings for the past year has some things to be thankful for.In the first place Scotstown can boast of a new, up-to-date electric plant with a capacity for furnishing over two thousand lights.This has been the wbrk of the past year and it is now working very satisfactorily.During the past year some substantial improvements have been made on certain streets of the town.Several new culverts of lasting quality have been put in as well as one cement .bridge which spans the Black Brook on Dell Street.These are some of the most important improvements on this line.The present town water works (although still imperfect) wore begun in 1911 but did not bring in any revenue until the past year.It was also in 1912 that the Scotstown School Commission was formed and, although still young, and with a burden of over one thousand dollars of a debt from the old board, yet during the short time of its existence has already made some substantial Improvements on the school property.It is also looking forward to make further improvements in the year which has already begun.It was also in the last days of the past year that the Scotstown Board of Trade was organized ami to this organization great things are looked for in the year 1913.Last but not least is a movement which also started in 1912 and this is being pushed by the fair sex of this town, and is sure of a grand success in the movement for the improvement of the Town Bark.Already some work hns been done on two occasions much was done in the way of clearing the underbrush, stones and stumps.These efforts were directed by the ladies.MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS DURING DAST YEAR AT STANSTEAD.Stanstead, Jan.25.\u2014(Special)\u2014As Stanstead is not a manufacturing but a residential village, the question of employment has bad no important part in settling civic affairs, the municipal council giving its attention to the improvement of streets.During the fall one mile of macadam road was built, one portion west toward Smith\u2019s Mills and the other east between Main street and Crystal Lake Cemetery, the main stage route to Coaticook.This work is to be extended next spring.$300 has been expended on the Town Hall, the interior of which has been completely renovated.A $10,000 loan has been assured from the Government for the building of the new roads which are so widely discussed throughout the Townships.Stanstead has also been improved by the erection of several handsome residences, including Mr.A.J.Bis-sonnet\u2019s and Mr.F.O.St.Pierre\u2019s.Mr.E.J.McDougall has also recently completed a modern house of two tenements.The new residences of Mr.Robt.Parsons, Mr.O.W.Stevens, Mr.Geo.Clark, Mr.A.H.Martin and Mr.Chas.Goodsell, while in Rock Island municipality, are located on the \u201cPlain\u201d at the southern part.A six-tenement house belonging to Mr.Jas.Dewey is recently completed.More building is also to he done in the early spring.Stanstead College, the most important factor of the villages, has now a total enrolment of 350 pupils, 120 of whom are taking academic work, 75 at the Bugbee Business College, and 100 the Eastern Townships College of Music.This is a record attendance in all respects.There are 25 more boarders than last year.The buildings and grounds are receiving improvements and enlarging constantly by the energetic and wholly successful principal, Mr.G.J.Trueman, M.A.THE BUSY MANUFACTURING TOWN OF ROCK ISLAND.Rock Island, Jan.25.\u2014(Special)\u2014 Rock Island during the past year spent over $2,000 in gravelling its streets, about $1,000 in cement sidewalks, and over $1,000 in placing cement pier under steel bridge and making cement approaches to this bridge:\tBoth of the other bridges were overhauled and cement approaches built to them.During the year a by-law was passed for the purpose of borrowing $25,-OOO.With the proceeds of $12,000 of these bonds, sold at par, the entire floating debt of the municipality was wiped out, leaving $13,000 in bonds which the town intends selling in the spring and using the proceeds in building a town hall.A couple of lots of land adjoining the present council room building were bought during the year, and these make a good lot on which to erect the new town building.The bonds were for 25 years at 5 p.c., semi-annually, and the $12,(M)fl sold were readily taken up by local parties.All streets and sidewalks are now in good condition, and it is not the intention to spend much money on them next year.The town hall is expected to he a building containing council room, secretary's office, lire station, lockup, and tenement for caretaker, and possibly largo hnll above.No plan has been fixed upon yet.Business in the village during Inst year has been very good, traders call ing it the best year yet, all the manufacturers running full time and many overtime in the evenings.It is rumored that Butterfield & Co.have sold out to the Union Twist Drill Co.and that large additions are to bo made to the shops shortly, giving employment to probably 150 more men, which will mean much more activity in Hock Island.The new public building, post office and customs office will he opened and occupied in the spring.Under the efficient and painstaking contractor, Mr.N.A.Beach, a splendid building has been put up, an honor and an ornament to the place.The building cost over $25,000 and is made of pressed red brick with granite trimmings.The post office is on the ground floor, and customs office and caretaker\u2019s rooms above.A large number of houses have also been ererted by private owners, several valued at $2,500 to $3,000.The following are the manufactories of Rock Island, nearly all of them employing a large number of men and young women : Butterfield & Co., taps and dies; the Lay Whip Co., Ltd., whips; J.B.Goodhue, overalls and frocks; Rock Island Overall Co.(S.T.Fregeau); Standard Mfg.Co.(Wm.Pike & Son), overalls and frocks; Peerless Overall Co.(A.J.Bissonnet and C.R.Jenkins); Telford & Chapman Mfg.Co., horse blankets,

filled with that optimistic spirit which seems to have been in the past the exclusive possession of the West, or Sherbrooke in the Townships.But now the promise of the speedy beginning of construction this spring of the St.Francis Valley Railway, has galvanized into life several projects which promise good returns, upon the running of the iron horse through the valley.One the firestone quarry, upon the Ezra Cross Farm, now the property of Mr.Joseph Ewing.Some forty years ago Mr- Cross sawed out several car loads of this stone, which was hauled over very rough roads to Lis-gar and there shipped to the States.There the stone was subjected to very severe tests, the heat being most intense, but the stone stood the test successfully.Hundreds of the stone arches for the manufacture of maple sugar in this section, are made of fire stone, none of which have ever cracked or broke.But owing to the lack of rail facilities, the cost of shipping was too great to make the quarry productive financially, and sG it was closed down.But it is expected to re-open on the conclusion of the railroad, as there is firestone enough to supply the Dominion for ages.Also upon the farm of Mr.Albert Cummings is a hill of splendid gravel, while near at hand are hills of the best quality of sand for the making of concrete.There is no reason why the manufacture of cement products could not be made a profitable business.It is confidentally expected that a company will he formed in the near future to work such a plant.Some 60 years ago on the farm of Mr.James Wadleigh, opposite the blacksmith shop, Mr.Joseph Carlisle had a flourishing brick works.Mr.O.S.Cummings\u2019 store is bricked with the product of Mr.Carlisle\u2019s plant.Also on Mr.B.Reid\u2019s farm was another brick yard at that time, hut owing to the lack of cheap transportation, these yards fell into disuse and were closed up.An?finally on the St.Francis River three quarters of a mile from the town is the Ulverton Falls, now a tumultuous rushing water course waiting the building of g concrete (Continued on Page 9) MANY ATTENDED THE POULTRY SHOW Exhibition Which Closed Last Evening, Best Ever Held in Sherbrooke OFFICIALS

IT IS BELIEVED, WILL INSIST ON RETENTION OF ADRIANOPLE.Constantinople, Jan.25.\u2014(Special) \u2014Mahmoud Shefket Pasha, new Grand Vizier, is expected to give some in dication of the attitude of the Ottoman Government towards the note handed to the late Government by ambassadors of the European powers on Jan: 17th, at his reception of members of the diplomatic corps at the Grand Vizierate this afternoon.London, Jan.25.\u2014Some days must elapse before the situation arising from the revolution in Constantinople becomes clear.As far as may be judged, there is no intention on the part of the new Turkish Government to force matters or to resume hostilities if any reasonable compromise with the Balkan allies is possible.A despatch received here from Constantinople last night says the Council of Ministers sat yesterday to discuss the reply they will make to the note of the Powers, and that it is believed this reply, wiiiie insisting on the retention of Aorianople by Turkey, will point to Thursday\u2019s demonstration as a real manifestation of the national will.SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES.London, Jan.25.\u2014The Daily Express yesterday printed a sensational interview with an unnamed Turkish diplomat in London.He asserts that the Turkish delegation to the peace conference never intended to make peace and that its sole aim was to procrastinate to the utmost, believing a favorable bargain could he made with Austria by which Austria would obtain Saloniki and the country between Bosnia and Herzogovina and the Aegean Sea in return for helping Turkey retain Adrianople, part of Macedonia, and the.Aegean Islands.BULGARIA IS JUBILIANT.London, Jan.25.-The Times\u2019 Constantinople correspondent says European observers tber/' consider the new Turkish ministry the weakest since the' constitution was proclaimed.The correspondent adds that Halil Bey, an uncle of Enver Bey, has been appointed commandant of Constantinople, and that Essad Pasha, former commandant at Janina, has been given the oflice of Sheik-ul-Islam.-tv\u2014- IT OrnULTURE Ten Million Dollars Will be Spent by Dominion Government ELECTRIC ROAD 1.11.Annual Meeting of Congregation of St.Andrew's

railway officials submitted an alternative proposition to the Council, that in place of a strip of land along the roadside they run their road about 1,000 feet from the road, in rear of their buildings.Most of the proprietors owning land fronting on the road, from the Maw-cook Corner to the village, were in favor of this proposition, some agreeing to give the land for right of way, while

PARTICULARS OF FIRE.Brome, Jan.25.\u2014(Special)\u2014 Mr.Charles Gorham of West Bolton as previously referred to, met with a heavy loss by his dwelling being consumed by fire, and but for the timely alarm given by a near neighbor there is not a doubt but the family consisting of Mr.and Mrs.Gorham and young son would have been either suffocated by smoke or burned with the house.The structure was a fine two story building with annexes, and up to date, having recently undergone through repairs, and was located about three and one half miles east of Knowlton Village near the road leading to Bolton Springs.The family retired abput 10 o\u2019clock, and were aroused from their slumbers about 11-15 by a neighbor who was making vigorous attempts by shouting and kicking the door, knowing that they were within and in great danger as the fire was making great headway in the rear of the building before being discovered.Fortunately the neighborhood is thickly settled in that locality and many willing hands including men and women were quickly on the scene, and the efforts put forth by both to save the household effects may be best explained by saying that they succeeded in saving nearly all but about 50 bushels of potatoes which were in the cellar.Many carriages and carpenter tools of which Mr.Gorham had many, were consumed.Mr.Gorham carried an insurance of $1000 on the house in the M.and R.which will about half cover the loss.The origin of the fire remains a mystery, as Mr.Gorham is not a smoker and had no help neither did it take from ashes.Mr.and Mrs.Gorham feel deeply grateful to the many kind neighbors who rushed to their assistance, saving their goods and perhaps their lives.Special mention being made of Mr.Leman Wing who awakened the household, and Mr.Orin Wing whose almost superhuman efforts, assisted by other willing hands, succeeded in saving the shed, which was nearly attached to the house by chopping away the verandah and applying water continuously.Mr.Gorham expects to rebuild on the old foundation the coming spring.At nresent they are sharing the hospitable roof of Mr.and Mrs.Orin Wing.NAULT & 17 and 17a King St.LACROIXS Sherbrooke, Que.Sale Began Friday, Jan.24, to Feb.15,1913 $45,000 worth ol Goods must be sold al great \u2018 We will make this a success without equal\u2014prices cut dowu accordingly.Get your share of this great offer CLOTHING Boys\u2019 Overcoats, choice patterns, sizes 28 to 35,C 7 Q# value $7.00, for the occasion .jO Boys\u2019 Overcoats, extra good value, sizes 28 to 35, J an value $8.00', tB clear at .tT>\u2018TJ 25' Reefers niager head goods for boys, assorted | no sizes, value $3.00, to clear at .1.76 Attention !

You made a big hit with that new piece of business! Put it in every night!\u201d first offence he was drawn on a hurdle through the principle streets, which would he thronged with people and filled with traffic.The baker would have the offending loaf suspended from his neck.From a pen-and-ink sketch of this ceremony, it appears that the unhappy tradesman wore neither shoes not stockings, and had his arms- strapped to his sides.It seems also that two horses drew the hurdle, which suggests that it rattled along at a pretty lively pace.For the second offence, the baker enjoyed another ride upon the hurdle, and then underwent an hour\u2019s exposure in the pillory.If he proved so incorrigible as to commit the offense a third time, his oven was demolished, and he was forbidden to follow his trade.WHERE COAL IS QUARRIED What look like gravel beds are the so-called coal-strip pits of southeast ern Kansas.They are described in the Technical World Magazine.\u201cA vein of coal varying in depth from eighteen inches to four feet lies under the surface in two-thirds of this district, and it is from nine feet to thirty feet down.As there is no r°ck roof above it, it cannot he mined in the ordinary way, so steam shovels and horses and scrapers are used to bare it.Fourteen shovels are in use for this purpose in these two counties, one of them being the largest ever built.It weighs three hundred tons, and is said to be twice the size of the biggest one at work on the Panama Canal.It will strip ten or twelve acres to a depth of twenty-four feet in one year.This method ruins land for agricultural purposes for many years, but eventually wifi make it better as a hard-pan near the surface is broken.Strip-pit mining leaves ridges, ditches and small ponds, but these will he leveled when land becomes more valuable.\u201d only as a symptom of the widening aieach between the Christian and Moslem elements in the empire, hut also as an indication of the growing tendency of the Christian races to unite in defence of their common interests.Especially noteworthy is the co-operation of the Greek and Bulgarian churches, which would have seemed Impossible scarcely a year ago.In the period of enthusiasm following the revival of the Constitution, the Christian population, especially the Bulgarians, demanded the privilege of serving in the army as confirming the newly-proclaimed equality of races and creeds and relieving Christians of the tax hitherto paid in lieu of military service.A provisional law accordingly was passed under which Christians between the ages of 21 and 27 are recruited in the same way as Moslems, being allowed to redeem themselves by the payment of £50.The experiences of Christian recruits, however, have not been such as to render military service popular.Most of those who could provide the money have paid the exemption fine, others have emigrated in large numbers \u2014 The \u2018Mail,\u2019 London.How to Treat Sprains and Strains After Ten Days\u2019 Suffering Mr.Quinn Says Nothing
