Construction Work ,He, Was Known as a Powerful Leader of | Men With Cataclysms of Explo- } sive Wrath and Sudden Flashes | of Humor. N his human side (he late Sir William Van Horne was as attractive a figure as he was grea: in the field of railway management. In appear- { andé he was short and rather cor- | pulent, though bis dimensions gave a [feeling of m ssiveness and power. His voice was deep-chested and on oc- casgion strong and commanding, Writing in The" Canadian Century a couple of years ago of Sir William Van Horne, Mr. C. Lintern Sibley gave these illuminating touches: There are many picturesque acces- sories to lighten the record of such a | man as Sir William, I like that pic- 1 { | ture of him that you hear from the | old constructi- n bosses, of how, when he was out in the wilderness with his | armies of workmen from the Orient | and the Occident, catrying to a suec- | cessful consummation thousands of | miles of what were regarded as en- | gineering impossibilities--how, in the starlit gights, in the vastness of the Rockies pr the solitary wastes of the plains, there would flow out upon the lisiening air some wonderful strain of musig---the solace of a Chopin noe- { turne or the deeper melody of a | Beethoven tone poem---telling Indian | and Orient aid European alike that | the Big Chief Van Horne had been pleased with the result of the day's struggle with primeval chaos. That music was of the Big Chief's own making; it came from his beloved violin. And contrasting with this, there is the other side of his nature-- the Fexplosive wrath, the cataclysm of pur- est Anglo-Saxon, the fiery will of the man expressing itself in fiery terms, and the sudden flash of humor that came like mellow sunshine following upon the thunderstorm. It took a big fund of humor, of optimism, of sheer brute strength, and of magne- tic, indomitable will to carry on a battle such as he won against forces and discouragements so vast as at- tended the building of the C, P. R. Mr. Sibley tells of Van Horne's once™being lost in the mountains of British Columbia, and of "how he wandered all day swallowed up in a vast landscape that stretched away in an endless sea of snow and glacier- clad peaks, and how towards evening down among the trees on a mountain- side he espied smoke, How he crawled on. his hands and knees to the camp, fearing it might be hostile Indians, and how to this "big man with his giant. hunger there floated on the breeze the glorious smell of frying beefsteak, betokening the fleshpots of the white man--as, in- deed, it was--of hia own surveyors, "When, after the railway was built, he took on the job of letting the world know of its attractions, he got artists to paint pictures of the scenery. These pictures he would criticize in a helpful and inst. active manner, More than once when pic tures have been brought into his of- fice in the Windsor Street Station in Montreal he has sent out for sand- wiches for luncheon and for artists' material, and .between mouthfuls of sandwiches he has mixed up his colors and repainted the pictures. "Sir William's home life is a very bappy one. His Idve for children is one of the lovable phases of his na- ture. 1 remember interviewing him once immediately - upon his return from one of his numerous visits to Cuba. : grandson came into the room -- a grandson to whom the giréat Sir Wil- liam represented nothing more than a nice, big playfellow, to be ordered about at his bLidding. i; ** 'Come and kiss grandpa,' sald Sir William. "The child came to him, and grand- pa and the hope of the family ex- changed kisses, "" 'I want you to be horse,' said the little boy. " 'Want ma to be a horse?' said Grapdpa. "Yes, I want to ride.' * 'Oome on then.'

New President of Canadian Press As- sociation Works for Community. The man who has been elected pre- sident of the Canadian Press Assocla- tion, Canada's national organization is an individua! who merits attention apart altogether from his connection with journalism. Mr. W. E. Smallfield, upon whom the honor has fallen, is first and foremost editor and proprietor of The Renfrew Mercury. Bu' he is much more than that. He is an outstanding éxample of the man who i: trying to serve the colnmuaity in which he resides with an unselfish zeal and a genuine pub- lic spir't that are most refreshing in these days when so much self-seeking is in evidence. The small town still plays an im- portant part in the life of the nation, and it is the belief of Mr. Smallfield and 0 8 like him that it only re. quires a little effort to make the con- ditions of lif + in thesé places so de- sirable that they will readily hold their own against the inducements of the city. Renfrew is one of the most conspicuous examples in Canada of the small town triumphant, and what it has become in this particular is due in very large measure to the ef- forts of its leading newspaper man. The Mercury editor admits quite frankly that municipal service is his hobby.. Outside of his office work it absorbs the bulk of his attention. If he travels, and he does a good deal of it, his eyes and ears are constantly open to absorb ideas. He first went into public life a few years ago ds champion of waterworks and sewers, and, thanks to his energy, Renfrew to-day possesses one of the best sys- tems in Canada. Then he took up the question of permanent walks and presently well equipped in this particular. Next came the problem of lighting, culminating in the building of a $120,000 municipal power plant, and the recent opening of a white way along (he main street that has no equal in any other town the size of Renfrew in Canada. A whole chapter could be written on how W. E. Smallfield took in hand the Renfrew Fall Fair, which was al- most defunct, and in the course of a few years, by the infusion of new ideas and much "well-directed pub- licity, built it up into one of the larg- est and most popular fall fairs in Ontario, with an attendance of over 14,000 last year. Another intensely interesting chapter would describe bow he was instrumental to a very large extent in having erected Hotel Renfrew, costing upwards of $50,000, and now owned and operated as a first-class temperance hotel and municipal clubhouse by the citizens of the tcwn. All these things and more he has done, and, while he would doubtless deny any personal merit in having accomplished them, Renfrewites don't hesitate to give him every credit for the results. That the municipality has become a much more desirable and attractive place of residence as the fruit of his work is generally admitted. The new president of the Press As- sociation comes of a newspaper fam- ily. His grandfather was an author- printer in 'England 'and helped to found the Leicestershire Mercury. His father, after serving an appren- tideshi) in London, came to America, and was for some years on the staff of the New York Journal of Com- meree., Early in the sixties he an- swered the call of the wild and came over to Canada, where he settled in Madoc and ultimately established the Madoc Mercury. Later he removed with his family to Renfrew, where the Renfrew Mercury has been pub- lished ever since. W, E. Smallfield was taken into partnership in 1882, and since his father's death in 1901 has been in sole control.--W, A, Craick in Toronto Star Weekly. ! Escaped From German Camp. "Rev. Jas. F. Rowley, Methodist minister at Hampton, late of Winni- peg, received word a few days ago that his brother Walter, a corporal in the 2nd Royal Warwicks, had escaped from a German prison camp 'at the end of August after ten months in prison, - "Two of us cut the wires at about 11 p.m. on Sunday, and I got over the frontier at about 4 a.m. on Wednes- day," Rowley writes, : "We did about sixty or seventy miles, traveling only at night and apart, with electric lights the same distance, making it almost as light as day. We had to cut four lines of double-stranded wire with a pair of pliers. But a good storm and a lot of luck pulled me through. 'We got into Holland, and then to England." As to treatment by the Germans, Rowley said that until March the food was very bad. After that it im- proved somewhat.

O. Dawson, managing director, who points out that the company's mills are now op- erating at about 85 per cent, capaci- ty, as compared with 70 per cent. in the Fall of 1914. Mr. Dawson fore- casts that there will be further ad- vances made in prices in yiew of the position of raw cotton and the steady | readjustment of dyestuffs to higher levels. Buy Canadian Securities. Toronto, Oct. 9.--One dealer, who does not favor Canadian participa- tion in the Anglo-French credit loan, points out that the high yield on the + bends, is only of five-years' duration. After that period the interest drops , to 4 1-2 per cent. or else the holde: cashes in. It may be that-he can re-invest at equally attractive figures but there is no certainty about it. In the dealers' opinion the invester would do better to put his money into a long-term municipal, which can now be had to yield 5 3-4 or 6 per cent. He would then be help- ing out his own country, would en- sure himself a generous return for 20 or 30 years, and would not need ta bother his head about éventualiti- es at the end of five years.

Naturally the point se- | lected was the one where the attack would be most dangerous to the | Turks and, if it succeeded, most use- | ful to the Allies--particularly Rus- | sia. It ought always to have been ob- | vious to any intelligent observer that the French Government, whose need | of troops in the western theatre of war is even greater than ours, would | not have joined with the British in this desperate adventure if there had | not béen some such motive at work as that which Sir George Buchanan | has indicated. { The idea, sedulously propagated in | one or two mischief-making London journals, that the Dardanelles opera- ! tions originated in the wild brain of | Mr. Churchill, and that he dragged, | or manoeuvred, both the British and French Cabinets into the affair, was preposterous on the face of it, Wanted His Payment.
