Big Pine and the Contemplated Ice
Plant.

There has been a good deal o.
discussion of late about the in
stallation of an ice plant by the
Big Pine Lumber Co., but on in.
quiry of Manager w. A. Brown.
lee representative of the Chron.
icle was informed that there was
nothing definite about the mat
ter. The company uses a large
quantity of ice, and on two or
three occasions on the approach
of the ice season, the putting in
of a plant to manufacture ice for
their own consumption and also
for the town of Colfax has been
casually discussed by the direc-
tors, but thus far no action has
been determined upon. Big Pine
has almost unlimited power that
could be devoted to such an en-
terprise, and, in view of the
spirit of progressiveness the
company has always shown, it
has been a very natural thing to
conclude they would put in the
contemplated plant. 1t certainly
would be a great boon to the
town, and we hope the company
will yet see fit to embark in the
enterprise.

The Song of the Booster.

1
If you like this old town best,
Tell'em sol
If you'd have her lead the rest,
Help her grow!
When there's anything to do.
Let the people count on you;
You'll feel bully when you're through
Don't you know?
If you're used to giving knocks,
Change your style;
Throw bouquets instead of rocks,
For a while.
Let the other fellow roast,
Shun him as you would ghost
Meet his hammer with boast,
And smile.
When the stranger from afar
Comes along,
Tell him who and what you are
Good and strong
Needn't flatter, never bluff.
Tell the truth; its quite enough.
Join the boosters they're the stuff;
We belong.

REV. coRNFoRD GOES.

Rev. Harry Cornford is transferred by she Conference to Tivoli, N. Y, where larger charge and higher salary await him. The fact that he is promoted is, in . measure, compensation to his many Canaan friends, for his departure from this place. The circle of Cornford s Friends in Canaan is not limited to the membership of his church, nor to the followers of the Methodist creed. He is held in high personal esteem among peo- pie of all classes and creeds, for his ad- mirable qualities as a man, a citizen and Christian gentleman.
 As pastor he has built up the Canaan Methodist church, in membership and m the scope and strength of it's infiu- ence. In the very first year of his Can aan pastorate he lifted church debt of something over $1,2O0 that had been handed, down through previous admins trations. His capability as practical business man is something unusual in minister.
 He has found time to organize and re- , organize the various auxiliary societies withia the church, and has them all in good working condition. He has been particularly active and effective, with Rev.. MT. Gillette, in forwarding the Brotherhood movement here, which has proved such a. splendid and forceful agency in cultivating the spirit of uni versal. fraternity throughout the commu- nity, regardless of creed or class; he has been asvalued and valuable member of the Boy Scout Council, and he has shown Christian zeal in every cause that affects the welfare of the town.
 Mr. Cornford and his good wife will take with them the assurance of the whole community's good will and best wishes for. their future success, prosperi- ty and happiness.

Letters From the People
To Volunteer Bremen.

To the Editor of The News:
 The officers and members of Canaan Hose Go. No. 1 wish to assure their friends that while they sincerely appre- ciate the willingness of volunteers to help, they would respectfully suggest that in case of an ordinary fire the mem- bers of the company. numbering 30 men, each of whom is supposed to know his place and his duty, should be able to cope with the situation without outside assistance, which is more apt to hinder than help in the work of extinguishing fire. In case of necessity the f1remen will feel free to call for help. and con- fident that it will be promptly and effectively given.
