George Hall, of Chas. Lehman &
Co., who visited Belt last week re-
ports the road from here to Great

of the roads is such, however. that
| very poor time is made and the trip
will probably occupy several of the
freighters three weeks or more. A
| team has been sent out to meet and
bring in some OF the freight greatly
needed by the Lehman company.

grower of Highfield, arrived in the

Co, also assisted in the work fol
two days, but says neither he mol
the Power Mercantile Co. have an,
interest in the transfer about to b,
made. Last week we announced
that Mr.. Bach would retain al
interest in the company which will
purchase the Bach stock and tn,
Slough stock at Utica, but thi,

without reliable foundation. A. w
