Turned back when he tried to enter Canada by one of the bridges ovei the gorge at Niagara Falls, Harry Szewiehvk. 29 years old, made an attempt to jump from the bridge into the rapids, 20f,t. below. He took off hie coat., threw some papers he took from his pockets into the river, and started to climb the railing on the other side of the bridge. A passer-by .seized him, and immigration inspectors took him into custody. Because the staff of a little country newspaper had a holiday during Christmas week, the taking of a loan poll in Kaiapoi has had to be postponed for about six weeks. By statute, loan polls must be advertised in each week for four successive weeks in a paper circulating in the distinct. But the Kaiapoi Record was not published in Christmas, week ; so now all the advertising has to be started over again. The poll, as a consequence, will be deferred for about six weeks.
