While there the visitors were: treated to an exhibition of What a Canp Borden sandstorm is like, and When the thing was over, no regrets were expressed or encores heard. The camp is with- out doubt the biggest and best equipped. in Canada, and apart from the sand. is a most suitable location. It is high and dry, the streets are being paved,'there are .shower baths, and. the best of water. The day was a most pleas- ant and profitable one to the vis- itors, who had. the freedom of the camp, and Were also served with dinner and supper by the battal- ion. A trip to Camp Borden is worth While to any one who has never been there l Just make up your mind to this: deceit loses to skill always in the tong run.

OBITUARY ROBERT COCHRANE It falls to our lot this week to chronicle the death of a pioneer of this locality, in the person of Mr. Robert Cochrane, who died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. S F. Morlock, after an illness of five or six Weeks’ duration. He was born in Englesham, Scot- land, 'in April, 1833, and when quite'young came to this countrv with his parents and settled in Hamilton for a time. Some time later he entered apprenticeship to the printing trade with a paper in Dundas, but left the work after a couple of years and. came with his parents to Durham. In 1854 when the foundry was being built, the deceased assisted in hauling stone for the building, and shortly afterward moved to! Bruce county and purchased al farm in what was then a wilder- ness, near the present Village of Paisley. He kept “bach” for a time, but soon decided it was not well for man to live alone, and. about 1856 he married Janet Hunter, daughter of the late Alexander Hunter, and they lived on the Bruce farm for a few years before returning to Durham and settling again on the farm near Varney. This, it seems, was about 50 years ago, and. they remained on the Varney farm till they mov- ied to Durham some 20 years ago. The family consisted of two sons and four daughters, Alexa, in the West, Unsworth, who died about 12 years ago in Edmonton, Mrs. Robt Gray of Fort William, Mrs. S F. Morlock and. Kate, of Durham, and Jean, Who died about 18 years ago. Mrs Cochrane died here, a couple of years after moving to town. The deceased Was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church, and up to the time of his illness "he Was a regular attend- ant at the morning service. In politics he Was a Liberal, but apart from the exercise of his franchise, took very little part in political questions. He was manv years a member of the town council and his death leaves a vacant seat at the municipal board. ‘Qfit‘fifia '3 A 9"- ~- ‘ 1‘. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++§+++++++§++++¢++++++++ m+++4~++++++++++++++++++4 +++++++++++++M+++++++++++ K>VDDDE>E>>KIPP>DO ODgt>EP>>tb>>?:>>>b Think that many of Europe’s most extensive in- dustries have been closed altogether for lack of material, while others are only producing a. small pcrtion of their former output.
