The regular meetinz of the town council was held ten years ago with Mayor Geo. S. Drew in the chair, and Councillors Dr. R. Richardson, Alfred Caron J. T. Chenier and C. P. Ramsay present. In the absence of thc town clerk, H. E. Montgomery, who was in Toronto on municipal business, H. Perreault assistant clerkeâ€"treasurer, was acting clerk for the meeting. A motion was passedi to the effect that that year the town would not issue licenses for the sale of firecrackers. Ten vears ago at Cochrane there was a gathering of settlers and others to dissuss ways and means for relieving the settlers in this part of the North Land from the handicaps under which they suffered at the time, and which had retarded progress for years past. The meeting originated with the setâ€" tlers themselves, and primarily with a number Oof settlers in the Brower disâ€" trict. Mr. Goode, of Brower, drafted a form of petition to be presented to the Government, and it was to consider the provi.sions in this petition that the meeting was called. The settlers felt that their chances for success would be greatly improved if they could enlist the ‘c>â€"operation of the press of the North. In the case of The Northland Post at Cochrane this coâ€"operation was very cheerfully given in generous way. Mr. Carl Thorning, of The Post, comâ€" municated with all the newspapers of this North Land, and ‘from allâ€" the editors received sympathetic reply. E. F. Stephenson, of the New Liskeard Speaker, explained that while he was in sympathy with any move for the benefit of the settlers, the land was practically all cleared in his immediate section, so that what applied to rane did not touch Temiskaming so closely. Timre®editors of The Halleyâ€" burian and.. The. Northern News at Kirkland Lalie expressed earnest symâ€" pathy with the plans of the settlers and their readiness to give every posâ€" sible coâ€"operation. The editor of The Northern Tribune at Kapuskasing had been openly sympathetic with the plans propssed. During the weekâ€"end howâ€" ever, none of the editors referred to were able to arrange to attend at Cochâ€" rang, with exception of Mr. Carl Thornâ€" ing of The Northland Post, and G. A. Mactdonald, editor of The Advance, Timmins. On acecunt of the train serâ€" vice, however, the lastâ€"named was not able to continue at Cochrane until after the meeting, but left a list of suggesâ€" tions, and comments on the proposals, with practically all of which there was the heartiest. accord. The past presidents of the club were in charge of the regular weekly lunâ€" cheon of the Kiwanis Club at the Emâ€" pire hotel ten years ago. There was a particularly good attendance and the event was a very enjoyable one. Past president R. E. Dye was in the chair and in opening the programme he reâ€" ferred to the inception of the Kiwanis in pointed out that it was always worth while to "take stock" to see what progress was being made. With the coâ€"operation of other past presiâ€" dents‘ this stockâ€"taking was both inâ€" teresting and helpful. Past president W. Rinn gave a summary of the work and progress the previous year, reviewâ€" ing the important meetings, listing the special speakers.

About forty stitches were necessary to closeé the wounds on his face alone, while he had some deeper gashes on his arm, and a nasty wound on his head. He is makâ€" ing fine progress to recovery. The most of the knifewounds are not deep but the face especially is slashned in all directions. He was found on Thursday night by Constable Noyes on street at Schumacher. When the officer found him he was a regular mass of knife wounds and a walking pool of blcod. Tne cofficer got medical attention for the injured man, then went after his assailant. According to the man‘s story he had bzeen at a sort of friendly party with a fellowâ€"countryman and the latter wanted to stage a fight, but the slashed man did not want this as he is "But didn‘t you land the fish?" "You haven‘t been listening. I only had a rod, not a steam crane." "There is a man in St. Mary‘s hospiâ€" tal," said The Advances ten years ago, mcuth and then slashed his face. The big fellsosw was found by the palice in the very act of washing blsod off his hands, while in his possession were found a bloodstained knife and a reâ€" voiver with two empty shells. He was placed under arrest." ‘Ten years ago there was a pleasing example of honesty and the good serâ€" vice given the public by the employees of the T. N. O. Railway. A traveller on the train lost a purse containing $68. He thcught he lost it on the train, but felt that he would never see it again and so would be out the money. Just as a matter of form he reported his loss to the T. N. O., but he scarcely expected to have this report result in the return of his money. The service and protection of the public are among the special aims of the T. N. O. and the traveller scon had his purse containing the money while he was cleaning the coach and he very promptly turned it in to the station agzent. "Mrs. A. J.
