Jones & Bros., Weekly News Office, Colwyn Bay. THE LATEST and up-to-date Specimens of Ball and Dance Programmes may be seen at R, E. Jones & Bros., Weekly News Office, Colwyn Bay. I A BIRD NOTE.—The writer of A Country Diary in the Manchester Guardian has the following note under date September 3oth:- A few days ago my Colwyn Bay correspondent hear a chiffchaff, a bird on passage southward, and discovered1 it diligently exploiting the in- sulators of a telegraph-pole. He also observed that numerous gossamer webs were streaming from the wires, having, like small boys' kites, got hek" up in itheir flight. It struck him that the chifLhaff Might be .spider-hunting on the wires, for, he suggests, a telegraph pole is not a likely place for insects. But is it not? A few days I ago I noticed hundreds—perhaps I should be more -correct to say thousands-of bluebottles and flies basking on the sunny side of a row of telephone poles; they were thick upon the posts. When flies are getting old, no doubt feeling stiff in wing and limb, they love to warm themselves in the autumn sunshine. Is it not possible that the ohiffchaff was helping some of thes- to a merciful death, though I have little doubt that if a spider was) on the pole or wire the chiffchaff would also attend to it? CONFECTIONERS SUCCESS.-There :is now on exhibition in a window of Buckleys, confectioners, Wiihdnigton House, a large and handsome silver cup obtained for Hovis bread- making at a recent exhibition. We congratulate the firm upon its success. THE LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB.—The Colwyn Bay Club will play their second league match at home on Saturday, when Llandudno Amateurs will be the visitors. A good game and a good gate is anticipated.

Rowlands, halves; W. E. Roberts, W. Southern, Adamson, T. Jones, and A. N. Other, forwards. TERRITORIAL MARCH."—This march, which has been composed by Mr. James Bur- rell, of this 'town., was played at the Llandudno Pavilion concerts twice last week, and was re- ceived with much enthusiasm. The composer was congratulated, and Mr. Arthur W. Payne, F.R.A.M., is placing the march in the Pavilion library. The march is also being arranged for military bands, and Mr. Burrell has already re- ceived a number of applications from various regimental bands for copies. EVENING CONTINUATION SCHOOLS.— These schools have commenced for the winter season at the Higher Grade School and the In- fants' School, and we trust they may have a successful session. HARVEST FESTIVAL AT ST. PAUL'S.— The harvest festival services in connection with St. Paul's Church was held on Wednesday even- ing last, the feast of St. Michael and all the angels. There was a large attendance, and an excellent sermon was preached by the Vicar ot LIandrillo-yn-Rhos, the Reiv. E. James-Evans. The church had been most effectively decorated with fruit, flowers, and evergreens, and the work of beautifying the church was carried out by the following ladiels: -Mrs. Roberts, the Vicarage; the Misses Roberts, Mrs. and Miss Earp, Miss Barlow, Mrs. Sewell, Miss Everett, Miss En- twistle, Miss Wadsworth, Miss Plews, Mrs. Wil- son, Miss Lucy Crossley, Nurse Ferguson, and Mrs. Bond, with Mr. D'Arcy. The thanksgiving services were also observed on the following Sunday, when large congregations assembled. The offertories were devoted1 to the Cottage Hos- pital Fund. All the services were fully choral and well attended, and praise is due to the'or- ganist and Ithe choir for their special services. ° OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRE- TENCES.—For the third time Mary Jane Jones, of 3, Bodhyfryd-terrace, Llysfaen, was brought up on remand at a special Police Court on Tues- day, before Mr. J. Berth Jones, charged with obtaining goods by false pretences. Superintend- (informed Ms worship that the principal witness in the case) was still unwell, and the doctor stated she would not be able to attend Court to give evidence for about a month. He pointed out that it was a hardship to the defendant's father that he should be obliged to attend one day every week, as on each occasion he lost a day's work. t He would ask for the case to be adjourned until the next regular Sessions, which would take place on Saturday, November 13th. The case was accordingly adjourned, bail being allowed. THE SALARY OF THE PASTOR.—The Rev David Griffiths, Welshpool's blind Baptist minister, has been presented, on the eve of his departure to Colwyn Bay, with a purse of gold. In acknowledging the gift, the Rev. Mr Griffiths, speaking of the remuneration of pastors, said he once had his pay a week too soon, but never a day too late. Not every church .and pastor could say that. There were men occupying the posi- tion of treasurers in some of their churches who made the pastors almost beg for their money as well as earn it. PICTURES AT THE PUBLIC HALL.—The pictures continue to attract splendid houses to the Public Hall, and Mr. Harry Reynolds' en- terprise is being well rewarded. In future the programmes will be changed each Monday and Thursday—two new "shows" in each week. Amongst the latest attractions are illustrations of Charles Dickens' immortal novel, Oliver Twist."

THE BROTHERHOOD.-ATh dnteresting and helpful meeting was held in the English Con- gregational Chapel on Sunday afternoon, whet Mr. J. T. Taylor presided over a very fair at- tendance. The Rev. H. R. Williams was pre- vented by a cold from attending to speak, and was substituted by Mr. Hill at a moment's notice. Mr. Hill took for his subject the title of the hymn, Is your anchor safe? Mr. Hill's address was very timely and appropriate, and was evidently appreciated. The Chairman after- wards spoke on the necessity for having a put- pose in life and a spirit of self-reliance. Miss Booth gave two -solos in a most acceptable man. ner. FOOTBALLERS ENTERTAINED. On Saturday evening, at Cartmell's Restaurant, Councillor T. E.

I.O.G.T.-In a previous issue of the Weekly News" appeared a reference to the Grand Lodge session of the above Order, held at Abertillery, South Wales, tihe previous week, and special mentiol1 was made to the election of a Colwyn Bay resident to the honourable post of Grand Secretary of that Lodge. rlt will, I feel sure, interest your readers to know that Mr. Edward Jones, the gentleman referred to, is C.T.,hat is, Presiding Officer, of a local branch or lodge of the above order in Colwyn Bay at the present time. The members of this lodge feel greatlv honoured in having for their leader one who has held, and does hold, such high positions in the higher degrees of the Order. The local lodge, working under thet name of Pioneer Lodge, in. spite of many counter-attractions, has kept on its regular weekly meetings throughout the season with a fair average attendance of its members, the meetings being always sociable, instructive, and entertaining. During the sum- mer the lodge has been visited by members and officers of high positions in the Order ..coming fiom almost eve:y part of the United Kingdom, who were always the bearers of fraternal greet- ings from distant lodges, and contributed much to the profitableness of the meetings. The work of the lodge, however, is not simply to. entertain, and now that the busy time of the season is over, and there will be a general rally of the members, it will launch into aggressive work, the extension of the cause of temperance, which is the real object of its existence. The pre- liminary steps have already been taken in form- ulating the winter arrangements, and great de- velopments are expected during the coming months.

MOTOR TRAIN SERVICE—There is now a regular service by motor train between this town and Llandudno, running at convenient periods of the day, which will prove a great boon to the public. We understand that the pleasure of a motor-train ride is being much ap- preciated, owing to the excellence of the com- fortable arrangements made by the Railway Company for their passengers. TRADESMEN'S HOLIDAY.—In the matter of weather, Colwyn Bay tradespeolple were most fortunate in their selection of yesterday (Wed- nesday) as the date of their annual holiday, ana it was not surprising to see such a large number of people availing themselves of the very cheap and convenient travelling facilites afford-ed with .50 much enterprise by the Railway Company. Practically all the shops were closed throughout the day, and although the effect was to give the town a very quiet and not particularly interest- ing appearance, the private residents did not be- grudge the tradesmen their eagerly-awaited holiday, to which the hard work of the season entitled them. WELSH BAPTISTS—The annual preaching services, in connection with the Welsh Baptists of Tabernacle Chapel, were held on Tuesday evening and all day yesterday (Wednesday).

AVFLSH BAPTISTS TEA AND CONCERT. —The annual tea and concert in connection with the Welsh Baptists of Horeb Chapel were held on Wednesday last.

In the evening a test" concert was held, pre- sided over by County Councillor Ralph Fisher Penarvon, Deganwy. Mr D. Pryse-Jones, L.T.S.C., Newborough, Anglesea, was the musical adjudicator; Teganwy was the adju- dicator of the reciting; and Madame Clara Wal- ler was the accompanist. Mr Thomas Wynne acted as the conductor of the proceedings. There was a good attendance, but the concert was -i very disappointing affair. Very few of the com- petitors entered turned up. Both the musical and the reciting adjudicators expressed them- selves as disappointed with the quality of the work. Mr Pryse-Jones said he was glad that the affair was disappointing, for the so-called "test concert was, as it deserved to be, dying out. He would recommend that, if on another occa- sion, they had a test concert, the prize of two guinea.'} should be divided, and a guinea for a soprano and tenor competition, and a guinea for a contralto and bass competition. He met the same singers often at these so-called test con- certs, and it appeared that they had a greater eye to money than the advancement of musical art. The prize of two guineas was divided be- tween Miss Alice Williams, Conway, and Mr William iRoberts, Bangor. The first prize for reciting was won by Mr John Davies, Glanwvdd- en, and the second by Mr John Davies, Glan Conway.

Mr Hughes is a mem- ber of the Association, and" granted the use of a room for the holding of the meetings of the Association at a nominal rental. The Vice- Chairman (Mr Henry Nevitt), in seconding the motion, remarked that he would like tp see some movement started' in the district with a view of assisting in a practical maunaer all those who had suffered through the effects of the fire The reporfl of the past year's work was adopted for presentation to the annual public meeting.

LLANFAIRFECHAN. FOOTBALL 'By the courtesy of Dr. Arch- dale, of St. Andrew's Hospital, the members of the Llanfairfechan Wednesday and Saturday teams have been granted permission to use the ground at Brynyneuadd for the season. FAIR.—The annual fair, which took place on Thursday, was a great success, a large number of sheep and cattle being brought for sale. Prices for sheep, however, were not as good as for some years, while cattle realised fair sums. ACCIDENT.—An accident, which might have been attended with very serious results, occurred in Valley-road on Tuesday afternoon. A horse attached to a landau belonging to Mrs McMichan, and driven by Mr W. McMichan, was being turned round, when the vehicle over- turned. Fortunately, the damage done was very slight. CURIOUS D I S C 0 V E R Y.—Mr Robert 'Hughes, boat and bathing van proprietor, ot this place, records a remarkable discovery which he made early in last week when he went down to the sands for the purpose of getting bait for fishing purposes. On a part of the shore, where worm casts usually appear in hundreds, he was unable to find one, lut on making a closer investigation, he found that large numbers of the worms were lying on the surface of the sand, and in most cases either dead or nearly so. Visiting other haunts of the sand worm, Mr Hughes found this state of things in every instance. Another remarkable discovery was that quantities off cockles were found on the surface of the cockle beds, and not just under the sand, as is usually the case. Mr Hughes found that this state of things ex. isted over practically the whole of the Lavan Sands, which comprise the distance between Penmaenmawr Point and the Ogwen River. The facts of the statement are also vouched for by Mr R. A. Jones, of the Estate Office, Conway. It is understood that the strange event was due to the electric storm which was experienced about that time, as it is understood that in the only other instance of the kind heard of in the district, sand worms were destroyed near the Menai Straits by lightning.
Free Shares in Hydro Electric…
Free Shares in Hydro Electric Power in Klondike. WITH A READY SALE AT 3/. PER HORSE POWER PER DAY WHILE COST- ING ONLY 3d. These profits seem impossible, yet it is an un disputable fact. We have all heard' of the harnessing of the famous Niagara Falls. We all know how these mighty waters have been turned from a roaring wasting torrent into the largest power amdf light generating station m the world. It is mow old history to most of us how water power has superseded steam for hundreds of miles aroun.d these renowned Falls. Well, then, the self-same thing is now being done at Klondike, the celebrated gold-fields. Hitherto the users of power for mines, mills, and dredges have used steam for the motive power; and when we mention that the price of coal is £5 per ton; and wood £3 per cord, the reader will glean an. idea of the heavy ex- pense of steam power. Now, however, thanks to a group of enter- prising gentlemen, a Hydro Electric Power plant is being erected in Klondike to supply power to the mines, mills, and dredges at 3s. per horse power per day. The cost of generat- ing his power is under 3d. per horse power per day. In spite of these enormous profits, users get a more efficient power for a third of the present cost cxf steam. This water power is capable of developing 20,000 horse power; and neariy all otf the largest Mining Companies of Klondike are applying for this power. There are low grade fields of gold-bearing gravels and quartz to last hundreds of years, to be orked with large profits by cheap power. To erialble them to lay down further mach- inery, we have for sale a block of the Corn. pany s 6 per cent, ten year booos, with which we give free a like amount of shares as bonuses to every purchaser of the bonds. The Companv claim the dividends from the shares for one year alone will pay for the bonds, which can be purchased on easy terms for 41 (one poandij upwards.

E, BIBLE SOCIETY-The annual meeting of the local branch of the United Kingdom Bible Society was held in the Welsh Wresleyaa chapel on Tuesday evening of last week. The Mayor (Dr. M. J. Morgan) presided, but it is to be re- gretted that there was not a larger attendance. The Rev. H. Ivor Jones, of Chester, attended as a deputation from; the parent Society, and de- livered an interesting address upon its work, laying special stress upon the translation of the Bible into foreign languages. He pointed out that the Society did not' derive any profit trom selling the Bibles, as for every sovereign outlav only about eight shillings was received back again. On behalf of the Treasurer (Mr. David Jones, Metropolitan Bank), the Secretary (Mr J. P. Griffiths) read the financial report, which showed that the total collections for the year •had been £ I J 15s. iod. and the expenses Ci ios., leaving a balance of £r6 5s. iod. to be paid to the parent Society. Mr. Griffiths- pointed out that this was an increase of several pounds over last year. Addresses were given by the Rev. J. Luther Thomas, Rev. William Edwards, Rev. T. Gwynedd Roberts, and Mr. W. Edwards. The proceedings terminated with the usual votes or thanks. CHORAL SOCIETY.—The first meeting of the members of the Conway Choral Society was held in the Guildhall on Tuesday evening, when a good number of local vocalists joined for the present session. The piece- selected for performance is Maunders ;t Martyrs.' It is understood that the first practice will take place on Sunday evening next. YACHTING.—A correspondent writes that the number of private yachts which have visited Conway during the past season, has exceeded all previous records. The facilities for a safe an- chorage are generally knowm to be good, but seafaring men have frequently expressed the opinion that if the Corporation would improve the moorings, and then let them at a charge which would indemnify them against the cost, many more boats of ali sizes would yearly visit the estuary, and thinks that the suggestion is one which should commend itself to the at. tention of those responsible for the progress of a place like Conway. One of the reasons why the work should be done by the authorities, in- stead of by private individuals, is that yachts. men do not, as a rule, use the same anchorage for more than one or two seasons without a break, and that the cost to them for a nerman- eut anchorage would be prohibitive when not used for a long period. HARVEST FESTIVALS.-The annual harvest festival services will be held at the Parish Church on 117einesday next, when the Vener- able Archdeacon Morgan, M.A., Rector of Tref- draeth, and the Rev. J.

Richards, B.A., Penmaenmawr, will preach. The offertories are to be devoted to the Home and Foreign Mis- .sions.-O-,i Sunday next the harvest festival will be held at the St. John's English Wesleyan Church, when the Rev. William Mellor will officiate, and the offertories will be in aid of the Cc-nway Nursing Fund. WHIST DRIVE.—A highly succssful whist drive was held at the Conservative Club on Tuesday evening, when Mr. J. P. Hughes and Mr. Ted Williams acted as M.C.'s. After an enjoyable evening's play Mr. T. P. Jones, Wood- lands, won the gentlemen's prize, and Mr. Phil- lips secured the booby; whilst Miss .Scott, Woodlands, won the ladies' prize.
