For example, a company, corporation or an individual acquires title to a tract through the provisions of tho law as above, which has a water frontage of 40 chains, then at a distance of 20 chains in both directions along the shore from the entered tract tho own er can acquire title to another tract of the same frontage on the shore of the same body of navigable water. While it is true that the owner of the adjacent tracts cannot secure ti tle to tho reserved spaces, neither can anyone else. Although tho Govern ment will not alienate these reserve, it does not prohibit tho use of them in an unexclusive way. It frequently oc curs that the same person or corpora tion owns the land on each of the re served spaces; it gives them, better opportunity of using it than other par ties have, and they do not hesitate to avail themselves of it, if it is to their interest to do so. Of course, they do not place expensive improvements on the reserve spaces, but utilize them in var ous ways in the conduct of their j bus.nes8, the plants of which are sit-' uat d on their adjoining holdings. "So far as freedom for landing of 3hips or vessels of any sort is con cerned. it may be said that In most eaten no vessels visit such localities, excepting those belonging to the plants, ar steamers for transporting the pro ducts of the plants to markets." GRAND THEATRE TONIGHT. ?+? "The Great Sacrifice," Kaybee, two reel feature, a civil war story.

"The Ranger and His Horse," is a good Sellg drama of Western life, showing a sheriff's ruse for capture of robbers and rescue of a girl. "The New Squire," is an Edison pic ture drama, featuring Marc McDer mott and showing some beautiful scen ery in England. "The Falls of Montmorency," is a scenic Vitagraph picture of those beau tiful falls; also views on the St. Law rence river.
