We are informed there ia now a strong
probability of tho report from Pendle
ton, to the effect that Major Post
thought it would be a year before the
locks would be open, being correct. We
notice the dredger and barges which have
been built some weeks, are lying idle,
and good weather is rapidly passing.
It the dredger .is not used this side of
high water, there must necessarily be
another delay while the river ia falling.

came unmanageable and started to run,
The . wagon was tipped over and Mr.
Crawford thrown to the ground. His

Some informal discussion was held as to
tho best means for forming the organiza
tion. It was finally decided to place the
initiatory fee at $5 temporarily at least
with monthly dues at $1 for each
member. An executive committee con
sisting of J. S. Fish, E. B. Sinnott and
F. W. Wilson, were chosen and empow-
rered to secure members and get esti
mates from property owners as to secur
ing a suitable building. As soon as the
committee haa done the work delegated
to them another meeting will be called
and further steps taken towards com
plete organization. It is believed there
will be no trouble in forming the club as
every one who attended the meeting was
enthusiastic . and thoroughly imbued
with the desirability of the con tern plated
organization. Thirty-three names are
already signed to the membership list.
