WAI- m OP WELLINGTOK PRESS“! » Wellington County Press Associa- tion held its annual meeting in and a few outsiders. w“The foliowing were in attendance and took an active interest in the proteedings: R.

Templin, who made a brief address, and in closing called ”LII... "v-‘Fâ€" â€" 7 on the Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. A. \V. Wright of Mount Forest, for the minutes of the last meeting, and a financial report of the society. The progress suggested a number of topics, and each in turn was ably disposed of. Mr. E. Roy Sayles, manager of the Canadian Weekly Press Association, gave an interest- ing talk on the work accomplished and the benefits to the craft from a better knowledge of costs. He ad- vocated cleanliness in the office and surroundings and suggested that newspapers should not be neglected to give greater attention to job printing. Free publicity should be given only when of a news value to the community to be served. The prices of all commodities and costs had not yet been reduced sufl‘icientâ€" IDWV. havv ly to warrant any material reduc- tion in subscription rates or job printing. The two dollar subscrip- tion rates were sticking and only very few had reduced their prices. .1 'vâ€"d _ Adx ertising rates w ere‘ introduced by Mr. Rixon Rafter, \\ ho thought a minimum of twenty cents an inch should be charged for transient for-‘ eign adx ertising. In the course of the discussion it was learned that local contract rates ran from sixteen to twenty cents an inch and could not be done for less at a profit. Mr. O. R. Wallace of Guelph gave a number of good pointers on job costs and rates. He said he knows nothing but printing and was proud of the production of his office. To show the costs in his office from ac- tual experience and actual account- ing based on productive time, he gaxe results for the month of March on hand composition, linotype, cyl- inder presses and different job presses. It was a revelation to most of us who sell our products at much below the cost, through a lack of knowledge. Mr. Wallace has a lady engaged to look after this work and every item of cost is known to a cent. V’oters’ Lists and general mu- nicipal printing prices are too low and he doesn’t want this class of work at the prevailing prices. ‘ Now for a word about Drayton and Drayton people; Drayton is only a village of about 600 inhabitants, or 602, to be exact, but they have some things they are proud of, and justly so. Nearly every one you talk to speaks with pride of their new ho- tel, “The Magnesium Springs Inn,” because of the mineral water in such abundance. The convention was held here, as guests of the Editor, Mr. Garbutt, and every guest can testify, we are confident, to the ex- cellence of cuisine and the courteous service. We had the freedom of the house and. examined it from top to bottom, finding everything spotlessly clean. The bedrooms are all beau-' tifully furnished with brass bed- steads and running water. The kit- chen was not omitted, and in keel?- -ing with the rest "of the place, was perfect in every detail. Few places are favored with such excellent ho- tel accommodation. and the. pro- prietor. Mr. K. O. Noecker, is to be complimented on his enterprise. The town hall is a large brick structure, built twenty years ago at a cost then of $13000. The public library and council chamber occu- py a portion of the tower storey and we understand, too, there is a lock- up fOr the wandering and weary Willies in need of a night’s lodging. The concert 'hall has a fine large stage and has opera seating accom- modation for an audience or 400. A gallery at the rear will seat an ad- ditional hundred if necessary. The Presbyterian Church is a neat little place, but the walls are. show- ing the effects of time and are in need of repair. The Methodist Church is more commodious and the parsonage and grounds, occupied by‘ Mr. and MrsQPrudham, are a credit to the congregation. They have a Public .School with? seven teachers and are doing Con-J tinnation work. They. have .0.‘ creamery in operation and it, too, seems to be a thrifty institiition. 5 estoga River got on the rampageand did a lot of damage.

Af- ter marriage he went to British 00-- lumbia and spent four or five years in Nicola Valley, where two of his children were born; then he moved to Innisfail, Alberta, where he re- mained till after the death of his wife in 1897, when he was left with five children, the youngest being an infant only nine days old. With his little family he came east and in the year 1900 he settled On the old Cameron homestead and remained there till 1913, when he came to town and has since remained with members of his family, with the ex- ception of one winter spent with his daughter, Mrs. George Harbottle, at the Canadian Soo. Since his re- turn three years ago he has been liv- ing with .his son, Cameron, in town. "85‘“ v. I. I ‘0 â€"â€"vâ€" Weregret ve y mu h to chronicle the death of Jr. W.

He was an upright and honorable man in every way and respected by all who knew him. We never knew him to have an enemy, and during a personal acquaintance of nearly twenty-five years we had ample Opportunity to learn of his many good qualities.

If there’s any en- joyment in that Western Province, Mr. Motfat will find it and from the tone of his letter, Mr. Motfat has ev- idently succeeded. Besides the let- ter, Mr. Moffat sent us several views of the big national bufi'alo park at Wainwright, in sonic of which he appears and from his expressmn in the pictures he is having the time of his life. The letter says. in part: The funeral service was held yes- terday afternoon in the Presbyterian Church and interment was made in Durham cemetery. a large number being in attendance._ “I .am having the time of my life out here. Curling day or night up to April 1; playing checkers, chess and cards, with an odd dance thrown in at intervals when there was no curling. New car riding takes the place of curling. It is something grand to have a spin over the prairie and watch the process of seeding as it proceeds on such a gigantic‘scale. Believe me, it is easier imagined than described. But what I consider the crowning event of my life and the most-glorious day lever spent was a day in the Buffalo Park, and thinking you would be interested in these animals, I take the liberty of sending you a few snaps of. what I saw with my own eyes. The best way to get a snap of these animals is from a load of hay being driven among them for feeding purposes. The animalsare quite docile and pay no attention to you in that case. But if you get off the load they be- come nervous and at once cock their tails and run, perhaps away from youâ€"but ten chances to one stranght at yenâ€"in which case it is not con- Sidered cowardly to run for the load and get on it, if you have time. But 35 your time is likely to be short, You had better take a header under the sleigh. and there, with your eyes cast heavenward, pray to God for-a change of circumstances.’_’ .. $++++++++++*+*++++++*++++4°++++w+++++® Mr. Mofl’at may rest assured thatl the photos sent are being enjoyed bY‘ all .who have the Opportunity of seeing them.

If the people of Durham enjoyed the con- cert as much as the members of the Chorus appreciated the reception given them then the affair was a compiete success in every w ay. The party made the trip in cars and found the roads in splendid condi- tion. The run hoth ways was made without incident or accident. SITTING DOWN TO WORK (Grand Valley Star-Vidette.)

James started for Shelhurne the other day in his buggy, the top of which was down.

A“ AAM‘lr‘o-n m'Inn'n ILUE IRII Kicked Out. - Durhams No.2 0.A.L .A. team got. a jolt in the solar plexus 'at the meeting at Mount Forest last Thurs- day night when the Mount, Forest, Arthur, Lis‘bowel and Harriston combination refused to allow them dates in that district of the Associa-l tion, claiming that they are altoJ gether too fast. an aggregation for them to step with, and rather than go in With the Durham Newsy‘La- londe’s as opponents, some of the teams threatened to‘ drop out. We don’t know What action will be taken by the local club, «and have no authority L0 speak for them, but, being grouped inthat district by the Association, they could at least de- mand a show-down from headquart- ers. However, we don’t think our No. 2 ball tossers. are very anxious to get into a district where they are apparently about as welcome as a skunk at a garden party and it is possible they will content themâ€" selves with a bye, or devise some lother means of getting games. Personally, we think our southern neighbors are making a mistake in ruling Durham out of their district.‘ Durham’s No. 2' team is exactly as its name implies, and while a cou- ple of the old-timers were figuring on cavorting around the green again this summer, the team would have had a majority of junior and midget lacrosse players in its line-up. But with a reputation of being able to make some of the professionals step to win, it is no wonder our kids of fourteen to twenty years of age, with a couple of old ’uns thrown in to steady them, should find trouble in getting a grouping with the mid- dle aged gentlemen of Mount Forest, Arthur, Listowcl, Harriston Co. Our advice to our local No. 2’s would be to get busy and see if they could not get a grouping with some of the senior teamsâ€"something that would more in their class, according to the reputation they appeared to hear at the drawing of the schedule at Mt. Forest last week. And Away We Go. The No. 1 Intermediates are off, and last week and part of this have been 'doing some light running and stickâ€"handling as a preliminary for the days that are to come. Coach McFadden saysthere’s good material hereâ€"as good as anywhereâ€"and a whole lot better than. the average. With a few days of good warm wea- ther; their condition and playing ability will surprise the railbirds. Our Final Grouping. What is bowed to be the final grouping for this district was handâ€" 4:7 4 v‘fit‘ $1 E, . in time for last Thursdays dailies; ‘ and places Durham’ 3 No.1 team in ' a d131‘r1ct With Shelhurne, Fergus, and Orangev1lle. some trips, eh ?. But, oh Boy! With that bunch, there will be “some” lacrosse as well EvidentlyaWingham s kick on being grouped with Durham in a double schedule bore fruit, as they have been put. in with Southampton and. Kincardine and will battle .it out with the men from the fishing towns for supremacy. So far as Durham is concerned, this latter grouping suits better than any yet handed out, if we are to take street rumor for it We haven’t inquired how the la- crosse management feel about it, but the spectators are certainly tickled all over to. think that they are going; to See the best lacrosse here this summer in many seasons. While we have never done much prophesying in the past we would just like it to be known that Durham is going to have about the niftiest lacrosse team this year this whole northern eounJ try has seen in a long time and the ten that takes their measure will have to go some; With plenty of men to choose from, the management this year will have their troubles in deciding on just who will catch a ‘ regular place on the team. Regular Practice Necessary. Coach McFadden of the No. 1 team is anxious. that all aspirants for a place on the line-up devote at least three nights a week for full prac- tice, and suggest Monday, Wednes- rlay and Friday evenings for this purpose. He also suggests. that. all players get to the grounds at 6.30, or 6.45 at the latest, so that the team may step on the field as a unit and get the full benefit of the one hour now available after supper‘. Individâ€" ual practice is all right in its place, but does not develop team play. With the co-operation of the players, he has no doubt as to their ultimate success in their games this summer -â€"but they must practise faithfully. Ar. Lv. Ar.
