The C.P.R. is building a new water tank of -100,000 gallons capacity. A dam is being built below the Forestry dam, together with a new pumphouse which will have two centrifugal pumps and two 15 H.P. motors, with an aux- iliary gas engine for emergencies. There will also be a connection be- tween the C.P.R. and Forestry Sys- tems so that one may be switched on to the other in case of a power failure. INNISF IL PAYS $100 FOR SHEEP DAMAGESl .u;b-.; us.

It was stated at Friday s meeting that there are ve such magistrates in one county. The question of magistrates salaries was also taken up Friday morning -and proved a lively issue for debate with evidence of a cleavage between rural and urban members of the As- sociation which Was nally ironed out. Rural magistrates, some of whom re- ceive as little as $900 a. year at pre- sent, have long felt they are greatly underpaid, particularly in view of the increased work which has developed in Jeffs was hostess, were all most en- joyable affairs. Salaries and Fees Discussed By a unanimous vote the Associa- tion, at last Friday morning's session, decided to ask the government to ab- olish the fee system, the subject of much contention in Ontario during re- cent months. Three magistrates, who are now receiving fees, rose to their feet in support of the resolution. They wished to wash their hands of it, they said. One of the three described the system as robbery." It is rumored that C. E. Wright will not seek re-election in Centre Sim- coe. The names of Herbert G. Robert- son, Barrie, Geo.

The government had been approached for increases before and had virtually said. Just what do you "fellows want?" That is what we are trying to tell them. In cases where the pro- vince pays the salary the government can be approached at any time and can pay anything it likes. There is no legislation fixing the amount. President W. C. Mikel presented a proposed bill amending the Ontario Magistrates Act, affecting only urban magistrates paid by the municipality. There is no legislation governing ur- ban or county magistrates who are ap- pointed and paid direct by the govern- ment. Urban magistrates are appoint- ed on the recommendation of munic- pal councils, but salaries are set by provincial statute. "f"L... A..L 2.- 2L, ' ` - HUIIUIIIQ U] '1OW WIID Luau UVCI.

Mr. Boys maintained that this was not a case of passing on a hill or cut- ting in, for the road for a half-mile south of the accident was perfectly level; that the road ahead as it came to the incline appeared to be in full view but it turned out that there is one spot where a car is out of view from the south, the depression being 14 feet. At that moment when Il1ing- worth pulled out to pass the truck, the Babcock car was obscured from his View in this depression. When the Bab- cock auto suddenly topped the rise Illingworth saw it but it was too late. He did the only thing he could do and did it to save Babcock. taking the chance -of injuring himself and the occupants of his car. Mr. Boys pointed out that Mr. Logan had retained the chauffeur in his service, showing that he did not consider him seriously at fault; in addition, the coroner s Jury had exonerated him.

It is thought this will relieve the flooding during the heavy rains. There will be four new catch basins to connect both sides of Worsley to take all surface water that at present cannot get away.

Harry Morren, who judged and gave the demonstration in culling, said the boys were learning better how to pick the good ones as the quality of exhibits averaged higher. Not a very large entry of stock was seen- 10 lambs, 6 calves and 3 co1ts-but all stuff of which the lads had no reason to be ashamed. No Boy Orators No boys faced the judges in the pub- lic speaking contest, but three girls took the platform. These, with sub- , Jects, were as follows: Myrtle Murphy, B.S.

Beets, carrots and corn were well selected and prepared. Apples were a fine, clean sample -but were somewhat lacking in color because shown so early. Displays from school gardens were a new feature that at- tracted much attention. Most appe- tizing looked the exhibits of cooking and the school lunches (most of which had a thermos of soup or tea)` indicat- ed that the youngster thus supplied does not suffer much by having to eat his mid-day meal at school.

Showmanship was exceptionally good; the boys showed their lambs free at halters. nvuyua on Potatoes were among the best de- partments, the Elmgrove district being especially 'well represented. Vegetables were good and flowers made a beauti- ful showing with sixty entries of fine quality. An exhibit that attracted much attention was a set of sleighs carved with a jackknife by John Sheard of Ivy. This boy was under quite a big handicap, having been six months in the hospital and out of school for a long time. Public Speaking Three girls and two boys entered the oratorical lists and all did themselves credit. Dorothy Adams of No. 11, speaking on The Progress of Agricul- ture," was best girl. Next came Muriel Thompson of No. 15 whose theme was The League of Nations," while the third prize went to Myrtle Cunning- ham of No. 7 whose subject was Suc- cess." -n..- -u-.u-u, . - --- ~- The best display of live stock seen at any school fair in South Simcoe this season appeared at Ivy last Fri- day.
