COMPANY'S REPORT
SHOWS GOOD Year
Northern Ontario Light and Power
Co.. Ltd. Has Large Surplus.

The annual report Of the Northern
Ontario Light and Power Company,
Ltd, for 1917. shows that the interest
charged on the company's first mort
gage 6 per cent sinking fund bonds
was earned over two and one-half
times during the past year.
After payment OF dividends on pre-
ferred stock and a charge for the de-
probation reserve. $1,000 in excess of
the charge last year. a surplus of ap-
proximately $1,000 remained.
The report states that the great de-
mand for silver and its enhanced
value offset the threatened strained
labor conditions and relieved the min.
ing situation. Higher labor and ma
terial costs are reflected in the in
creased operating expenses over the
previous year.

Beautiful snow scenes aloud in
Harold Lockwood's newest Metro
wonderfully, THE Avenging Trail a
tive-act drama of the lumber camps in
the North woods, based on Henry
Oyen's novel, CASTOR Olaf" which
comes to the Republic Theatre to-
morrow.
The scenes were obtained in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire
where Mr. Lockwood, Director Fran
els Ford and over twenty members of
the Metro company spent three weeks
time staging exteriors.
Most of the outdoor scenes were
played with the ground covered with
snow. from a foot TO eighteen inches
deep, and with the snow flying before
the camera. The tramp of the lum-
berjacks over the trails through the
forests with the branches of the tall
pines and FIR trees laden with snow,
and the scenes of the lumberjacks
cutting timber and Transporting it on
sleds to the railroad spur. are some
of the snow views that will delight
the eye of the lover of the beauties
of nature.

After many experiences, 'Headin"
meets a beautiful Mexican senorita
whose home the bandits have taken

beats him and makes him a prisoner
He helps the girl TO escape with her
many women servants. The bandits
have become frenzied with drink and
demand the women; upon learning
that they have escaped they followed
in pursuit The women arrive safely
in the border town just as the bandits
ride up. A furious gun battle then
ensues in which the Mexicans appear
to be getting the upper hand, but a
band of Rangers arrive and turn the
tables. "Headin' South" is captured
with the bandits and is about to be
taken away when he is recognized by
one of the deputies. He reveals him
self as Corporal Smith of the North
West Mounted Police of Canada, and
explains that he had been detailed to
arrest Mexican Joe for the murder of
member of the force. So ''Headin
South" or Corporal Smith as he is

FURST SAND CO.
ACQUIRES LAND.
Great Water Front Option
Taken In Upper Part Of
Anne Arundel.

With Baltimore City grabbing after
the best of the county's taxable basis,
there has just become known still
another increase in the basis in the
upper part of Anne Arundel County.
An option has been secured on the
waterfront tract of the Arundel Sand
and Gravel Company in this county
and extending from a point near the
new Hanover Street Bridge to a point
opposite the Lazaretto Light, on the
south shore of the Patapsco River
Just who is holding the option has
not been disclosed, although it is said
that in the event the land is purchased
the water frontage will be developed
for the docking of ships and the stor-
age of supplies. Owing to the magni-
tude of such real estate purchase at
this junction, the idea expressed in
real estate circles is that the govern
ment may be back of the purchase. 1t
may mean the establishment of an
additional storage place for the Quar-
termaster's Department or again the
building of a supply depot for the
United States Shipping Commission.
The tract consists of approximately
400 acres of land, which have been
acquired by the Furst interests from
time to time. The primary object of
the company in getting the land was
to obtain the sand and gravel on the
back of the stream, although it was
said that the Arundel Company would
at some future date develop the
waterfrontage for the docking of YES
sells.
According to rough estimates this
morning by land authorities in the
Curtis Bay section the Arundel hold
ings represent a value in excess of a
million dollars. This would be one
of the most valuable waterfront tracts
around Baltimore
