Prof. Vincent W, Jackson was the special s at the Rotary Club luncheon at the British-American botel on Friday and in brief, busi- nese-like and lucid style, explained to the members and their guests the origin of the Hudson Bay Rallway scheme, its progress and the reasons for its present state. Prof. Jackson was appointed by the government in 1917, to make a survey of the road and the country about it and report on agricultural and mining possibili- ties, etc., and therefore knows his subject better than any other man could. He explained that the railroad's 'BRANIGAN'S DRUG STORE, LIMITED NEXT TO STRAND THEATRE PRESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY FILLED. WE SOLICIT YOUR PATRONAGE "SERVICE THAT WILL PLEASE YOU" . PHONE 18.

The submarine scare was in vogue and a German base off New- foundland, shutting up the St. Law- rence and eastern coast ports, was feared. With anchorage and ice- bergs, submarines are impossible in the northern waters and thus the logical way--as with Archangel in Russia--was overland to Port Nel- son on Hudson's Bay and through the north passageways. The overland route was 436 miles 30x3'; Cords $8.50 THE ' DUNLOP TRAIL for the Motorist. Get a copy before you -go-away on that trip.

The sum of $21,000,000 was expended and when it reached the point 92 miles from Port Nelson it wag found that the harbor there was not ready and there was little use completing the railroad. At the present time the road is in that state but from neglect and disuse has de- teriorated. It would cost tem or twelve millions more to put it through, but the west's argument is that it is better to invest that amount as a savior than to lose the whole sum previously expended. Port Churchill, a natural harbor, is ninety miles further than Port Nelson, or the latter may be developed. The speaker said that the real market of the west, is to the west, where over 400,000,000 of Chinese and Japanese form the greatest po- tential market Canada could possibly Announcement On and after August the 1st, 1024, the Grocery Busin formerly conducted by the late Mr. J.

The next thing is to get the Orientals to eat bread and Major Strange, grower of last year's world prize-winning wheat, advocates the system of importing some thousands of northern Chinese coolies for periods of three years and sending them Rack with reward for their labors--plus the bread-eating habit. Prof. Jackson estimated that the bread-eating habit could be spread throughout the Orient in a decade by this means, and advanced the state- ment that rice, because of the labor in growing it, could not possibly {| compete. The west would then have its great market to the west and the two halves of Canada would be func- tioning in their proper manner for the commgn good--leaving the Hud- son Bay Railroad as a problem un- necessary to solve, The Rotarians were much interest- ed and enlightened by Prof. Jack- son's explanation of the situation land words of appreciation were spoken by H. D. Wightman, L. T. Best, President A. IN. Lyster and Rotarian Danijel Fox, of Pasadena, Cal, who is with the Redpath Chau- tauqua. Rotarian Fox pointed out il | the great work before Anglo-Saxon peoples and in his brief, but forcible remarks said that "those who in any wayattempt to drive a wedge be- twéen the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack are er®mies of the hu- man race." The big Rotary moonlight excur- sion to Gananoque on Friday even- ing next and the luncheon to which Rotarians are invited in Gananoque on the same date were discussed. Rotarians "Sid" Smith and Harry Pense were congratulated on their birthdays, August first and d respectively.

Times. 3 Accusing the board "of trustees of the village of Clayton with arbitary and discriminatory action against her business, Miss Thelma Churchill, proprietross of the Silver Moon tea room in that community, has taken the matter up with Attorneys Breen & Reeves of this city and threatens a heavy damage action in supreme court unless reconsideration is taken of a recently adopted parking ordin- ance. » The Silver Moon Tea Room is lo- cated on the Main street of the wil- lage on the shore side and opposite the town hall. Miss Churchill began business there last year and this year has enjoyed a substantial pat- ronage, much to the discomfiture of: other restaurant concerns, it was said. During the day and the even- ing she serves meals and at 9 an or- chedtra comes for dancing parties whicH? attract people from various points. Light lunches are also serv- ed during the evening. Jealous competitors are now charged with trying to exert an in- fluence in the hope of killing her business, steps having been taken by the trustees to prevent the park- ing of automobiles in front of or within fifteen feet of either side of the tea room. While there has never been any trouble of any kind at the tea room, and no claim is made that the street at that point is any narrower than in any other section, the trustees have had the spot marked off with no parking warnings, prohibiting park- ing at any time of the day or night. The only reason given by the board, it is said, is that it would be easier for the police to properly watch her place if there were no automobiles parked near it. When the prohibited area was first marked off Miss Churchill's repre- sentative took the matter up with the village board at a regular meet- ing and was informed that no resolu- tion or ordinance had been adopted authorizing the marking of the street. At a special meeting of the board on July 18th an ordinance was adopted prohibiting the parking of cars within 15 feet of any theatre, dance hall or restaurant, the penalty being $3 for each violation. The claim is made by Miss Church- {ll that the ordinance was made gen- eral in order to be legal and that it is not being enforced with regard to cthers, As petition signed by over 40 of the most prominent business men in the village has been procured stating that the Silver Moon Tea Room is a place of good reputation, that it is being discriminated against and that the ordinance shouid be rescinded if the village is to carry out its plan to bring people there in- stead of driving them away. Customers of Miss Churchill's place like to leave their cars in front where they can watch them and un- less the ordinance is repealad an ac- tion to test its validity will be start- ed, A PLEASANT EVENT.
