Bradette Opens Cochrane Post Office The new post office building at Coch rane was formailly opened to the publi on New Year‘s Day by the member f0 the riding, Jos. A. Bradette, with hi usual fairness and generosity to hi opponents, took ozcasion to pay tribut to D. A.

Ben Rothschild was the first postâ€" master, holding the position from 1909 to 1919, when the present postmaster, R. R. Mitchell, was appointed. Mr. Mitchell has thus been postmaster for over 17 yvears. When Mr. Rothschild resigned the position, it was given to Mr. Mitchell, who was a returned soldâ€" ier and fully qualified for the post.
