Haileybury in 1923 } Items from the Files of The Haileyburian of Ten Years Ago A number of citizens have commenc- ed the organizations of a "Ratepayers' Committee" with the object of creating agreater interest in municipal. affairs. Several Haileybury hockey players have signed up to play with New Lis- keard and Cobalt this winter, as the town has not been able to provide a rink-so far. ? : The town's issue of debentures for the year were sold to W. A. McKenzie & Company, at a price of 102.9 and ac- crued interest. A letter from the T. & N.O. Com- mission to the town council states definitely that the railway will not provide a public crossing at Russell Street. The tax collectors reports complaints over the extreme measures. that are be- ing taken to gather in the outstanding taxes before the end of the year The locaf firemen held a dance and euchre in the club room at the curling rink last night and a good time is re- ported. Arthur Allard, formerly of Haileybury and now of Ville Marie, is leaving the North Country for Pembroke. Mrs. O.

PERFECT MAPLE LEAF = of Pi most beautiful maple leaf, prize winner in the nation- wide competition conducted by the Canadian Pacific Railway, was submitted by Mrs. C. McConnell, Fredericton R. No. 3, York Coun- ty, New Brunswick. It has a flare of autumn coloring ranging from light yellow to deep blood red, and its perfect symmetry and form won it distinction in competition with 10,000 other beautiful leaves, submitted by enthusiastic Cana- dians from Coast to Coast. The leaf, a thing of sheer beauty, was selected by such outstanding artists as C. W. Simpson, R.C.A., R. W. Pilot, R.C.A., and James Srockert. ~- In the largest leaf phase of the competition, six-year-old Bobby 'Hume, of Revelstoke, B.C., made ~ an astonishing win with a leaf showing an area of 222 square inches." g The success which greeted the Griginal competition this year has eucouraged Canadian Pacific offi- aials to plan for another compe- tition on a larger and more com- prehensive scale nex¢ fall.

STRIKING WOODS MEN RETURN TO WORK IN SECTIONS AFFECTED Reports in the daily papers over the week-end were to the effect that the various strikes among the bush workers of the North Country, which in some places have been carried on for weeks, have all been settled and the men have returned to the camps under new agreements which it is be- lieved will prove satisfactory. The men working for the Abi- tibi Power and Paper Company, gathering at Cochrane and Iro- quois Falls, were perhaps the best behaved of the lot, as there seems to have been little trouble at those places compared with the Port Arthur section and the terri- tory adjacent to Rouyn, Que. At both the latter places clashes with the noliee areurred and in Rouyn there were dozens arrest- ed, while the strikers farther west tried to cause trouble by holding up traffic on the high- ways. show that the men have had a large part of their grievances re- moved and it seems certain that conditions in the camps have been greatly improved.

Manager TODAY THEY JUST BUY THEIR TICKETS! Travellers by rail in these enlighten- ed days don't know how lucky they are. All they have to do is buy their tickets, go on board and settle down tor a comfortable trip. In the sixties and seventies of the last century it was a vastly different matter, as J. E. Dobb reveals in the December~issue of the Canadian National Railways Magazine. Sometimes, he relates, "passengers would find themselves stalled mules {trouble or snowdrifts, and the effort to 'keep up steam consumed all the cord- If wood supply was. readily available, the wood in the engine tender. na male passengers would be handed axes and each would be expected to do his bit by felling and splitting trees. If the patrons of the railroad showed any reluctance in this process of 'wooding up', the engineer and fireman would settle down for a nap until such ' time as the passengers took a more favor- able view of the matter. Heavy snow 'away from a village owing to engine the would be stuck for woodburners. Sometimes days, was a serious problem in the days of trains while fuel for the engine and food for the travel- lers ran short. The principal snow- fighting equipment consisted of shovels and the strong, backs of the male pas- sengers and the crew."
