The tribute of 30 barrels of flour yearly was to be paid by F. Wall- bridge, miller, at that point a. cen- tury ago. Shannonville was in 1809 granted to Warren Noble and Fred Keeler in leasehold from the Indians. It is not an incorporated or a police village. The Indians surrendered the four back concessions in 1820, the land be- ing sold for their benefit by the government. The remaining northern concessions were given up in 1840. The gresent reservation comprises two and one-half concessions at the front and about 20,000 acres. Deser- onto has later carved ofl the east end. Mr. E. J. Butler, who appeared on behalf of the township of Tyendinaga. contended that the reservation was not in the electoral district of East Hastings. Mr. W. B. Northrup, K. 0., “P. P., appeared for the whites, who ap- plied to be placed on the voters' list. to the rights of the township to col- lect taxes. Then they raised the rights of the whites to vote at vnuv nicipal elections. Judge Deroche held that no white man on the.reservation is entitled to vote thereat, and therefore not entitled to be on eith- er Parts I or III of the voters’ list. His Honor Judge Deroche has handed out a Judgment in a reference on the voters’ list made to him by the township of Tyendinaga, and the whites on- the Indian Reservation, which is of the deepest interest to Tyendinaga. His decision Is that the white residents on the reserve and otherwise qualified are entitled to vote .on Part III at parliamentary elections. The whole of what is now known as the township of Tyendinaga was with other land granted to Joseph Brant 1m 1793 by the British Government to the whole of the remnants of the Six Nations, Onedias, Onandagas, Mo- hawks, Cayugas, Senecas, and Tus- cororas, of New York State in com- pensation for their loyalty to the British crown in the American War of Independence. The chief who took charge of Tyendinaga was “Mohawk” as it was known was John Deseron- to. It with the other reservations made an amount of land equal to that which they held in New York. Tyendinaga has in tune: page lev- ied and collected taxes on the re- serves, built roads and exercised the rights of a municipality, but a few years ago the question was raised as The two villages on the reserve are Shannonville and Milltown. “Mohawk" consisted than of 92,- 700 acres.

' HAVEDOCK, DEC. 18.â€"-An accident happened yesterday at noon which has cast a gloom over the whole vil- laee. Mr. Edward Foley, of town, met instant death while on his way, driving to Trent Bridge. when he was struck by the morning local, running from Toronto to Havelock, due at the latter place at 11.30 a. m. but was half an hour late yesterday, The unfortunate‘fellow was watching the yard engine, and never heard nor gaw the local train speeding in. The en- gine struck the waggon and broke it in many pieces, part of it being car- ried on the front of the engine. These were noticed by the engine driver, Mr Charltou, of Toronto, who immed- iately stopped the train, and return- ing to the crossing, found a lifeless HAVELOCK YOUNG MAN KILLED BY TRAIN Strange to relate there are no ear- ly records of the formation of the municipality, and its boundaries have never been defined as Sidney’s. Over 200 whites on the reserve will be afiected. Brant selected Tyendinaga granted by General Haldimond, because 0.! the great water frontage. Mr. Butler urged that once the whites went on the reservation they lost the right to vote. The concessions began to be occu- pied by the whites in 1820. Immigra- tion was heavy in 1840 into the figur- rendered townships. Such families as the Sweeney's, Roberts and Ports came in. ‘ Shannonville was named by the Ports who came there from near the River Shannon in Inland. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S CASTORBA UNDERTAKING 25 Kent, East LINDSAY The Crown Attorney, who lives in Barrie, our county town, only ap- pears in my court on the more ser- ious charges. During the last six months of license he appeared before me sixteen times in his official capa- city, Whilc during the first six months of local option he only apâ€" peared once. During the last ten years of license, two young boys, about the age of fifteen, died from excessive drinking. One boy about the same age, who was driving a. par- ty for one of the livery stables, beâ€" came intoxicated from drinking li- quor, which had been procured by One of the party at one of the hotels For thirty months after ‘local op- tiOn came into force, I was only call- ed upon to sentence one man to Gen- tral prison, that being for three months, and he came from a place where three convictions had been re- gietered against the occupants for selling liquor without a license. I was appointed Police Magistrate for Orillia,.in August, 1907, being nine months previous to the time 10- cal option came into force in Orillia. During that time it was a painful duty to sentence 5 men to Kingston penitentiary, and six men to Central Prison, aggregating about 19 years’ imprisonment. In every instance it was the liquor traffic that caused these u-nfortunates’ downfall. Galt, 0nt., Dec. 9th, 1912. RESULTS IN ORILLIA. In a letter dated October 11th, 1912 Mr. Geo. H. Clarke, police magis- trate for the Town of Orillia, dis- cusses two important questions, the first being the moral effect of local option, and the second the theory that local option interferes with ma- terial progress. Here is part of his interesting statement: A few days ago the Warder in an article in opposition to the local op- tion bylaw referred to Orillia, Galt and Newmarket as towns where the conditions under local option did not justify the statement that conditions were better than under license. We have pleasure in reproducing from this week's Pioneer the views of pro- minent citizens from the three towns: Thanking you for the space you have given me in your valuable pa- per, I remain. Galt is conszdered to be one of the best manufacturing and business towns in western Ontario, witha po- pulation of over eleven thousand peo- ple, and I think I can truthfully say, knowing the people as I do, they will neVer go back to the open bar. Any town that has any hesitancy about carrying local option should pay a visit to Galt and see for themselves what it means to abolish the bar. It is one of the greatest blessings any town can experience. The question might be asked, “Has the law been obeyed ?" Well, no ho- tel keeper has ever violated the Act as far as we know, and they have been very carefully watched. It is true we have people who occasional- ly go to Preston and become intoxi- cated, but that is the fault of the license system, not local option. We have removed the temptation from our boys, our nation's greatest asset. And not only from our town boys, but the farmer’s boy can come in and do business, can dine at’ the hotel, stable his horses, and there is no open bar to tempt him. Testimony From Galt, Grillia, Newmarket Local Option Has Moved a Great 3mm A WORD FROM GALT. Dear Sir,â€"I thought I would write you a few lines, so that your readers could know how local option has worked in Galt. As you are well aware, we carried 3 it three years ago, and were repeat- ' edly told by the anti's that it would ‘ only be a short time till the grass would be growing on our streets, , business wodld be carried to other 1 towns, and our town would be dead. The lasc three years have been the best Galt has ever experienced, both for building, increase in population, and business in general. Although we have been building over two hundred houses per year, there are no vacant houses in our town today. Business men have told me that the last three years have been the best they have ever experienced. The merchants say the people are buying more goods, and paying the bills promptly. The real estate men were told that no one would purchase property in a dead town. What have been the facts in regard to this ? Property has in- creased from twenty-five to fifty per cent. and the demand has been greater than at any time in the his- toxy of the town. Well, the grass has not 1grown very rapidly on our streets, as we have voted $75,000 to improve them on ac- count o-f the great traffic that has been on them. Sincerely yours, THOS. PATTERSON.

O. entered to make a deposit in the bank, but who has during the past two years saved en- ough money to build for himself and family a comfortable home. Condi- tions have improved all along the line. School attendance is increasing and is more regular; children have plenty of books and clothes, there is no poverty, and no call for aid from the town. “I was mayor for three years be- fore local optio-nwn-as adopted, and for two years after. This year 1am reeve. Before the adoption of local option several of our leading merâ€" chants opposed it; every one of them is for it now. Business has greatly increased. Manufacturers are for it to a man. Labor is more regular and efficient. Two factories have added over $100,000 each to their plant. The habits of the people: have much im- proved. There is almost a total ab- sence of drunkenness. At our fall fair, of over 5,000 people, not a. drunken man was to be seen. There was no rowdyism as was usual on that day. so installed a sewage system during that time. NEW MARKET ’ S EXPERIENCE . Here is a statement made by Mr. P. W. Pearson, ex-Mayor of the Town ~ofi Newmarket, a man whose position gives special weight to his evidence: in Orrillia. While driving down a steep hill he fell out and broke his neck. There were two old men and .a wo- man, during the last few years of liâ€" cense, who fell out of their rigs drunk, on their way home and lost their lives. We had a number of P80» ple drowned while :intocicated, and three orfour killed on the railroad. There were three suicides, who were the victims of the liquor traffic, and who had become discouraged, and taken their lives in a. time of deâ€" spondency. Real estate values have increased more in the last five years than in the same number of years during the history of the town. The increases have been from 50 to 300 per cent., according to the class of property. There have been over 200 houses erected in Orillia. during the past year, and I have a. numb)r of peo- ple in my office looking for houses and we Cannot supply the demand. I sold a main street property this spring for $20,000 that was offered for $15,000 two year ago. I also sold a lot on the main street this ‘ sum- mer that was purchased at the rate of $77 a foot in 1907, for $200 per foot. I have in mind a number of lots that wer? purchased in 1907 at the rate of $60 per lot, the same being turned over this year at from $250 to $300 apiece. I could give you many other specific instances, showing in- creases in real estate values in Oril- lia during the past five years, but these are {air samples of what has been taking place. During the years 1910-11 the C.P.R. has been built through Orillia and the C.N.R. has been built into the town, we have a1- Since May, 1908, when local optic-n 'came into force the only violent death we have had in Orillia, was 3.

REEL‘QE Judgment: While I feel very strong- ly the unfortunate and perhaps dis- astrous consequences to the estate that may ensue if this certificate is allowed to stand, yet I cannot say that I am warranted by the authori- ties in ordering it to be discharged unless on such terms, if any, as plain- tifl is willing to accept. Failing this, the trial should be expedited in ev- ery way. Statement of claim should be delivered this week and reply, if any, or join-der of issue should be de- livered in two days after statement of defence is delivered.

TORONTO-PORT PERRY ELECTRIC CAR LINE The Markham Board of Trade and Town Councrl, acting upon Controller Foster's suggestion that a number of Hydro-electric car lines he estab- lished throughout the Province, have sent a resolution to Hon. Adam Beck, Chairman of the Commission, stating that Markham district affords a splendid opportunity and situation for a trial of such a radial line. The line suggested is one running from the city of Toronto, starting at the very northeast corner, connec- ting with the Toronto Civic Railway on Danforth Avenue, and thence runl ning northeasterly, touching Agin- court, Malvern, Markham, Unionville, Stouffville, Clarez‘nont, Uxbridge and Port Perry with a branch from Mark- ham to Locust Hill, Whi‘tevale, Brougham, Greenwood and Brooklin. thus connecting several villages with almost identical and mutual interests which are yet without any railway inter-communication. This district is the only one at present radiating iron; Toronto through which an elâ€" ectric railway does not run, nithough the York Radials have several char- ters for same, and have never made any start on construction up to this time.â€"â€"Uxbridge Journal.
