COURTENAY. Courtenay, Sept. J7.—For sometime several of our business men have been talking over the propriety of a creamery in Courtenay. The uiore the subject was discussed the more popular it became and it materialized into preliminary meetings a couple of weeks ago for exchange of views. From such beginnings growing senti- ment culminated last night in a meeting of those who had subscribed stock to nearly $3,000 and the election of a board of seven directors- as fol lows: George Wright, president Peter Haas, vice-president James A. Coffey, secretary Andrew Sin clair, treasurer J. E. Miller, A. A. Hoffman and John Spinarski. The organization is now equipped for business. It now devolves upon the directors to select a site, build a creamery and have it ready to start operations in early spring. Some of our people estimate that a thousand cows will contribute to the product of the Courtenay creamery. Thus a ne« enterprise is assured to Courte nay which will assuredly materially promote her property. Its promoters having unanimously elected an able and representative body of men to its directorate "the long felt want" gives flattering promise of energy and success from the start. Our people are now ready for other achievements. The accomplishment, of one enterprise will not settle them into contentment and inaction. They will reach forward to more. They will never be satisfied till they have a first-class flour mill on the site of the old one or some other location. Courtenay is certainly a gilt-edged location for such a mill. The history of its vicinity as a wheat belt leave nothing in that line unsupplied. Its shipping facilities east and west are fine. tat millers take note. September weather has been very discouraging to thresners, and more so to farmers. Oats, barley and wheat stand in shock weather beaten and browned and continuously wet irom frequent rains and snows. Ex tensive sprouting of wheat has been prevented only by the cool weather. The flax that has been cut has suffer ed from frequent turning. That which still stands has suffered seri ously from the recent high wind, the Joss being estimated in some cases as high as fifty per cent. The writer early in March, last, as the North German Lloyd steamer, Xaiseirn Maria Theresa, freighted with its over four hundred American tourists lay in the harbor at Beiret, Syria, had the pleasure of meeting United States Consul Raindal whose name we have so often seen in the recent dispatches from tne disturbed districts in the Levant. Mr. Raindal is a South Dakotan and a very pleas ant gentleman to "meet. He was much interested in the Dakotas and made earnest inquiries about promi nent Dakotans, particularly the old war horse, Dr. Bliss, ex-president of the Presbyterian college at Beiret, whose mantle recently fell on his son, both made interesting speeches on the occasion referred to. It is easier to imagine the patriotic enthusiasm inspired by Americans meeting Am ericans in a foreign land than to de scribe it, and this ocasion was no ex ception. Attorney James A. Coffey is near ing the completion of a fine residence on Fifth avenue, which will be a credit to our town. The borders of Courtenay are about to be extended, the accession to be known as Berg's addition. An effort is oeing made to induce the Soo company to make a crossing over its tracks on 4th avenue on which are nearly all the business places of the town and some ot its first residences. This crossing is very necessary as a public conven ience and is earnestly desired by an almost unanimous wish of our people but for personal rather than patriotic reasons about four business Dlaces uree that the crossing remain at 3rd avenue whose sole recommendation is a Jivery barn on the south side of the track and a slough on the north side through which a grade has been thrown up, without a building, resi dence or business place within ten to twenty rods of it. It looks like the beginning of a protracted effect to secure a proper crossing is at hand. County Correspondence jt 1 See C. Sea. COURTENAY.

UNDERWRITING FIRM TO FORECLOSE 'HOLDS STOCK OF THE CONCERN AS COLLATERAL FOR LOAN OF OVER $5,000,000. New York, Sept. 23.—Notice of the intention of the syndicate which un derwrote the loan of 15,050,000 to the Consolidated Lake Superior company to sell at auction the assets of the company held by them as collateral for the loan has been sent by Speyer & Co. to the officers of the company. The details of the sale have not yet been made public. As far as the situation in New York is concerned there is little change in the affairs of the company. Director Orvis of the company said a move ment of some stockholders of the com pany was on foot to try in some way to save what they can of their invest ments of stocks of the company, but he gave no details. Speyer & Co. announce that they will shortly serve formal notice on the Consolidated Lake Superior com pany and others interested respecting the date and conditions under which the syndicate intends to dispose of the collateral held for the $5,000,000 loan. CANNOT SAVE CONCERN. Lake Superior Company Directors Give Up the Struggle. New York, Sept. 23.—The directors of the Consolidated Lake Superior company, after a two-hour meeting, gave up the attempt to find a plan for saving the properties of the company, which are in the hands of Speyer & Co. as collateral for the loan of $5,050, 000 made by the banking house to the company some time ago, and an nounced that the stockholders of the company were entirely at the mercy of the banking firm, which could sell out the stock of the operating com panies in the Consolidated Lake Supe rior company at any time they saw fit. With the announcement of this de cision came also a practical acknowl edgment that they believed that their plans for financing the company to a sound position had been blocked at every point by the great financial in terests that are behind rival steel companies in the United States. KILLED BY FOUL AIR. Manager and Superintendent of Colo rado Mine. Buena Vista, Colo., Sept. 23.—Colo nel B. F. Morley, manager of the Buena Vista smelter and of the Mary Murphy mine at Romley, and Adolph Aberson, superintendent of the mine, were killed by foul air when making an inspection of the mine workings. Their bodies were recovered. Archie Ackerson, superintendent of the Four Metals Mining company, who accompanied Morley and Aberson into the mine, was unconscious when brought to the surface but was re vived. It is supposed that the air in the mine had been tainted by powder gas. The property is not operated at night and there were no other men in the mine when Manager Morley and the superintendent were making the tour of inspection which resulted fatally. Colonel Morley was about fifty years old. He came to Buena Vista in 1894, since which time he has been prominently identified with the smelter and mine interests of this district. It is feared that the arm of Walter Zelinski, which was badly torn by a threshing machine accident north of town last week is not likely to be of much service to him. It may have to be amputated. The accident was due to the extended end of a bolt that should have been cut off, he (claims, and not left to endanger the person of anyone oiling the machine at that part of the machine where the acci dent happened. The boys clothing was torn and he was also injured in the leg and breast. The machine was owned by Kamrowsky. The shed used for many years by Churchill, Webster & Bolinger, as a storage house for salt, and located on the vacant lot west of the Green build ing on Main street is being moved to the firms lot south of the store. Four Section Men Killed. Geneseo, N. V., Sept. 23.—Four sec tion men on the Delaware, Lackawan na and Western railroad were killed near Mount Morris by being struck by a westbound train from New York to Buffalo. They were on a handcar and, owing to a heavy fog, were unable to see the approaching train. Iowa Man Is Chosen. Baltimore, Sept. 23.—The sovereign grand lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows unanimously elected General M. A. Raney of Marengo, la., commanding general of the patriarchs udlitant for a term of four year*. Missing Bookkeeper Short $20,000. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 22.—There no trace of Llewellyn Smith, book keeper for the firm of Birick Bros., live stock dealers, alleged to have em bessled a sum variously estimated at less than $20,000. L. M. Birick, a member of the firm, stated that their doors were not closed and that they had no intention of closing them. N O A O A After seventeen years of continuous service Postmaster Leonard of Napol eon has tendered his resignation to the government. He was appointed in Cleveland's first term and has held down the office since that time. The growth of the business of the office and the ill health of Mr. Leonard are his reasons for resigning. Rev. R. A. Gould, a Nebraska Free Methodist preacher, who ran away with Eva Flint, 15 years old last, was sentenced to six years in the peniten tiary. He was tried under the kid naping law passed by the state legis lature after the Cudahy kidnaping in Omaha, and his conviction was the first under that statute. He was captured at Williston, N. D. He has a wife and five small children. Bishop and Mrs. Cameron Mann left Fargo Sunday night for Kansas City, Mo., where the bishop has been invited to officiate at two large nuptial func tions at one of which Miss Justin Mann is to be one of the bridesmaids. After the visit to Kansas City the bishop will go to Washington to at tend a meeting of the house of bishops and then will go to New York to till two engagements and then to Pitts* burg to take part in the General Missionary Council. He will be absent about two months. DYNAMITE ON TRACK. Northern Pacific Engine Is Blown Up at Helena. Helena, Mont., Sept 23.—The head light and front end of a Northern Pa cific freight engine were blown off in an explosion of dynamite near the Btation here.
