He came to Canada when quite young and settled at Niagara Palls where he was quite in charge of the Gas Works. Later he moved Cobourg, where he was appointed manager of the Gas Works there.

DAVID MACOUN DIES; SURVEYOR AND ORCHARD1ST RECENT LI QUpR RULINGS from Renfrew Mercury Magistrate Gundy of Winds tly decided that it is not illegal dor the law either as set forth in - O.T.A. or in the Federal amend-silt with regard to imports, for a "istiller in Ontario to ex- the United i unprecedented tempt along the Canadian border to get beer and whiskey across to the American side, a new industry that was somewhat checked when the United States authorities called out troops to preserve the integrity of their own prohibitory enactment which forbids importation into that Even it' Magistrate Gundy is right in his ruling--and the opinion appears to prevail that he is--it is hard to see how the fact really affects the situation. There may be nothing in the Canadian law to prevent sucn exportation but the American law is clear on the question of imports, the Canadian bootlegger can carr. his iraffle without interference from the authorities on this side, he still has to reckon with the officials of the United States. The American hibition law forbids the moving of liquor except under certain stances, through any port of American territory. In this regard it b; least one point ahead of the Cauad1 statute, that is, provided Magistr; Gundy 'a interpretation of the law correct. There is a law in certain states ftt'e American union which prevei Canadians from working there while they maintain their families in Canada. That was made clear in Renfrew recently when residents of this town working under such conditions in New York state, were sent home by the immigration authorities There ii no law in Canada to prevent a workman from going to the United States how and where he will. The ailen labor and the temperance law as it^affets the two countries are Good fellowship so desirable between the United States and Canada, however, is not likely to be prepet-Mated it this country harbors a breed of smugglers whose operations will call for the active employment of United States troops. It has been claimed that there is nothing in the recently enforced Federal amendment to prevent an Ontario man from bringing in liquor from Quebec provided he on his person, that neither a license inspector nor a customs official has a right to go through the pockets of an individual in a search for contraband feoods. The man who resorts to that style of smuggling will, however, be well advised to take no chances. There has been no relaxation of the regulations in this respect. It has always been held by the Ontario License Commissioners that their officials have the right to search a man's person for liquor when they have reason to believe he has such an article in his possession. The law in this regard is the same under the r.ow regulation. The man who brings liuqor into Ontario, whether in a valise, a car, or hi his pocket, is really smuggling in contravention of a Federal statute, and he knows the iicnalty for such an offence. Wide latitude is allowed officials watching for such infractions. Campbellford, Aug. 15.-- David Macoun, son of the late Fred Ma-coun ot Seymour township, where he was torn in 1857, has passed away at Willows. Cal. When a boy in his 'teens he joined the Geodetic Survey, which took him over a large part of the then almost trackless Northwest.
