Archives at the City Hall. '4,000 PEOPLE THEN usiness Directory of The Village of Oshawa of 1857 * Contains Names of The Early Merchants and Man- ufacturers. An accurate description of the Oshawa of 72 years ago, 10 years before Confederation, is contained in a. copy of the Canada Directory of 1857, which city clerk F. E. Hare discovered last week in the archives at the local city hall. In that day, Oshawa had a popula- . tion of about 3,000 souls, and was "a flourishing incorporated village." Its chief product was "flour of a very superior brand," and there were at least half a dozen flour mills in the village at that time. Much stress was laid on the fact that all trains of the Grand Trunk Railway stopped at the local station. The Canada Directory was publish- ed by John Lovell, of Montreal, and contained a description of all of the hamlets, villages and towns in Can- ada East and Canada West, now bec and Ontario, together with the names of the principal inhabi- tants. Toronto, in that year had a population of 50,000, Montreal 75,000, Quebec City 60,000, Hamilton 29,000, London, 16,000, Ottawa 10,000, Belle- ville 7,000, Cobourg 7,000, Port Hope 5000. Some of the villages in this district mentioned were Newcastle 1,- 250, Port Perry, 400, Orono 800, ..Hampton 500, Enniskillen 200 and Bowmanville 4,000.

MITCHELL, Mayor MOUSE LODGES SHOWING GROWTH New Fraternal Society Off to Good Start in Oshawa Be Sometime ago the residents of Sault Ste. Marie were very excited because a number of Moose were seen on the streets of that city. A large number of Moose have been seen recently on the streets of Osh- awa, and they bid fair to becoming a very large herd. There is no need in this case of the citizens becoming alarmed as these Moose are members of the Loyal Order of Moose, an or- ganization that works for the well being of the public in general. Al- though the lodge was only institu- ted on June 11th, they are fast be- coming a large lodge. A large num- ber joined as Charter members on June 11th. On June 25 another large class of candidates joined and again on July 22nd another large class was initiated and on August 8th an ex- ceptionally large class will take their on its own feet as organizers Mall and Newcomb have gone to Lindsay to organize a lodge there. Good luck to the Moose! WARNING ISSUED T0 BOOTLEGGERS CAN EXPECT NO LEN 'ENCY FROM MAGIS- TRATE Heavy Fi ines Imposed at To- day's Police Court Session Magistrate Hind this morning in the local police court again sounded a noté of stern opposition against. the bootlegging that is going on in this city and imposed stiff fines on two offenders convicted of having alco- hol in their possession, The first case was that of Frances Fialka, who pleaded guilty through her counsel, L, Hyman, to having li- quor not purchased on her individual permit. The liquor had been found in a raid on her premises 303 Ritson road south, on June 26, She deposed that the late Mrs. Kobernick had given her the alcohol. Notice of Appeal She was fined $300 and $22 costs, with the alternative of three months, it being her first offence. Her coun- sel served notice of appeal and asked for bail, giving the name of Frank Kobernick as security. "That is not satisfactory. I will not accept bail from any person of Kobernick's type," declared Crown Attorney Mc- Gibbon, and Mrs. Fialka was order- ed to look clsewhere for bail. Fined $500 and Costs Ben Cooper, who was also found to have alcohol in his possession in a raid on his premises at Bloor strect and Ritson road was fined $500 and costs or three months. Cooper plead- ed not guilty, and told a story that did not agree with the one he had told the police officers at the time of his arrest. The magistrate told him from the bench that he did not be- lieve his story and found him guilty of the offence. "I am determined to stop the sale of bootleg liquor in Oshawa, and it should be well understood that any- one convicted in this court of hand- ling bootleg liquor will not be dealt with leniently," said the magistrate. UNUSUAL ACGIDENT ON SIMCOE STREET Runaway Horse Causes In- jury to Occupants of Buggy An unusual accident occurred at ten. o'clock this morning when Mr. and Mrs. James Preston of Thorn- ton's Corners, suffered injuries when their horse ran away on Simcoe street north, Mr, and Mrs, Preston were driving north on Simcoe street in their buggy when the harness broke, allowing the whiffle tree and the shaft to knock against the hor- se's legs, causing the horse to bolt. The buggy collided with an ice truck owned by Hambly Bros, which was parked at the corner of Colborne on Simcoe street, and threw the unfor- tunate couple. to the pavement, while the horse struggled free and bolted down the street. The injured pair were carried into Ellicott's grocery store and attended by Dr. MacDonald. Mr. Preston re- ceived injuries to his left leg and chest was badly cut and scratched on his face, hands and knees and receiv- ed a severe shaking up. Mrs. Preston sustained scratches and bruises to her hands and knees and a bad shaking up, but did not fare quite as badly as her husband. The unfortunate couple had come to the city with a quantity of ber- ries od potatoes from their garden to sell, In the opinion of Will Rogers, just to be rich and nothing 'else. is practically a- disgrace nowadays. obligation, The lodge is now standing | COMMISSIONER FROM GERMANY GAVE ADDRESS LD. WILGRESS WAS SPEAKER AT ROTARY CLUB Tells of Great Expansion of Canadian Exports to Germany Dealing in an interesting manner L. D. Wilgress, Canadian trade com- with trade conditions in Germany, missioner at Hamburg, who is in the city for the purpose of interviewing exporters within his territiory, gave a brief address at the meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club yesterday. Mr. Wilgress' territory is a fairly extensive 'one, and besides Germany covers Czechoslovakia, Austria, Po- land and the Baltic States. These countries, however, derive their im- ports of Canadian products chiefly through Hamburg. Mr. Wilgress stated that in the last few years there has been a remark- able expansion of Canadian exports to Germany until now that country is Canada's best customer on the continent of Europe, being only ex- ceeded by that with the United States and Great Britain, The trade, he said, is now four times greater in value than it was in 1923. "This great increase in Canadian exports to Germany," said Mr. Wil- gress, has resulted from the econ- omic recovery of that country from the effects of the war and currency inflation. The introduction in 1924 of the financial reforms based on the Dawes Plan enabled the Germans to borrow abroad the sums necessary for the economic rehabilitation of the country, A large amount of money has been borrowed in the United States and this foreign capital has been remitted to Germany chiefly in the shape of merchandise, It is this heavy importation of foreign pro- ducts, financed partly from the por- ceeds of the loans raised abroad, that has given Canadian exporters the opportunity of increasing their sales to Germany. I Not So Prosperous "At the present time trade condi- tions in Germany are not so pros- perous as they have been, due to a marked decline in domestic trade. This has brought about a great in- crease in unemployment. On the other hand the export trade of Ger- many is steadily increasing and this is serving to gradually reduce the adverse balance of trade. It is gen- erally recognized that Germany must create an excess of expofts over im- ports in order to meet the obliga- tions for reparations and. on the loans raised abroad. "Both Germany and Czechoslov- akia," said the speaker, "are very large consumers of Canadian food- stuffs and raw materials. Grain and other primary products are the chief products which Canada at present exports to Germany, while Czechos- lovakia takes very large quantities of Canadian flour and is now one of the most important foreign markets for the Canadian flour millers. Hard To Sell "In view of the fact that Germany is one of the leading industrial coun- tries of the world it is very difficutl to sell Canadian manufactured goods in this territory. Czechoslovakia also has highly developed manufacturing industries, which, like those of Ger- many, have the advantage of lower labour costs than the Canadian man- ufacturers. Nevertheless Canadian manufacturers of such products as agricultural machinery, motor cars, rubber tires and rubber footwear are doing a regular business throughout Central and Northern Europe, includ- ing Germany. Certain other manu- factured specialities are being sold to this territory from Canada, so that our trade with this part of the world is fairly diversified." SPECIAL RADIOSET FOR AUTOMOBILES Interesting Outfit Being Handled by Thickson Motor Sales Music while you drive is one of the latest accessories to be connect- ed with the automobile. The Thick- son Motor Sales received the agency for. the Transitone Auto Radio, a radio which can be installed in any kind of car and which will give the best of receptions, The radio can be installed without 'taking up much room. The six tubes-and other work- ing parts are installed behind the dashboard, * The dials ite placed on the dash and the loud speaker can be placed either above the wind- shield or out of sight behind the dashboard, - The aerial is hidden be- tween the ceiling of the car and the roof, and is so constructed that it does not hinder the top from being put down. This new type of radio works off the ordinary' car battery and a spe- cial dry cell battery. placed under the back seat. The motor is special- ly insulated so that there is no vi- bration in the radio no matter how fast the car is going. One advan- tage of the installation is that there is an extra plug for an extension cord, by which a loud speaker can be taken any distance from the car. Lo- cal people need not be surprised if they: hear music from cars passing along the streets, It will only be one of these radio sets. Don't worry if your job is small and your rewards are few.

S. Smith, publisher of the Port- age La Prairie Graphic, a daily new- spaper publisher in Portage La Prair- ie, Manitoba, and G. N., Hart, mer- chant of Melville, Sask., made a brief call on The Times this morning, Mr. Hart and Mr. Smith, accompanied by Mrs. Hart, are paying a visit to the east, and are staying with Mr, -and Mrs. Hyndman, 109 Celina street, while in the city, The trip from Sas- katchewan was made entirely by au- tomobile, and took exactly a week. Since coming east, the party spent some days in the Kingston district, before coming to Oshawa, Both Mr, Smith and Mr. Hart said they were at a loss to understand the reports of crop failure which had come from the West, When they left on July 14, the crops were doing well, and except for a certain amount of late barley which had not come along, and which had to be plowed under, the grain had seemed to be in good condition, Just what had been going on in the last two weeks to create the drastic failure reported they could not quite understand, Mr. Hart commented that the land in some sections was a fine sand loam, which might suffer from lack of moisture, but he thought that in some sections the crop was in such fine condition that it should not suf- fer greatly from the heat. Mr. Smith is a cousin of Mrs. Al- bert Goyne of this city.

HENRY, MINISTER OF HIGHWAYS. Dear Sir: A man is dead, two more are in the hospital, a household plunged in gloom and sorrow, and why? Because you, as Minister of Hign- ways, have failed in the discharge of the official duties of your minis- terial office, and why? Not for lack of money, for you have a surplus at your command. And yet the law that there be no glaring headlights not enforced by traffic cops. People advised to face oncoming trafic without orders to step off the pavement. Pedestrians not made to carry 'head and tail" lights as all ve- hicles are by law ordered to do and said vehicles are far more eas- ily discernible than are pedestrians whether they are going with or facing traffic. American motorists allowed to speed on our King's highway ana much attention paid to their least complaint. Our highways now seemingly only for speeders and the speed cops' pleasure, not the safe drive- way of the owners of the soil. Now why? Are the few who cater to the needs of these American motorists the only ones to be considered, they and the pedestrians that dare death? Are we who try to obey the laws to have no consideration, no surety that laws made will be en- forced? And why? i When it is not from lack of means, must it not be from lack of 'brain power and administrative ab- ility.in high places? Yours truly, VOTER. MUSIC IN THE PARKS To the Editor of the Oshawa Times: . Sir, will you give me a small space in the pages of your much-valued paper to say how much we, in the neighborhood of the' Memorial Park, appreciate the playing of the band? If you will allow me I would like to ask why the parks are left one week without music? We have three parks and three bands. Why could not the Salvation Army give a free concert once a week? I know they go to the lake every Sunday, but. they take up a collection. The other two bands ne- ver do this, yet all three get city grants. While I think and know the|. Army does a great deal of good ,could they not for the next month or six weeks take their turn in these parks with the other bands and give a lit- tle cheer free. It would, I am sure, do no harm to their work here and I believe the other bands are made up of working men like them, Thanking You, A LOVER OF MUSIC g Crushed to Death Sudbury.--Andrew 'Grosse, 28, Czecho-Slovakian, died here Sat- urday as the result of injuries' sus- tained when he was run over by a flat car at the Canadian Creosot- ing plant here.

One officer was ac- companied by a mechanic while the second one flew alone. When interviewed by The Times, Pilot officer Lewis explained :the circumstances which had made it necessary for the two planes to land. Officer Lewis had left Camp Borden in company with another officer of the Camp on Friday on a cross-country trip to Ottawa, where they were to obtain another plane, which the other officer would fly back. An uneventful trip was made to Ottawa where they received the other plane. They received a mess- age from the authorities at Camp Borden, however, to tefl them not to make their take-off on Sunday as they had planned since there was to be a furious wind and thunderstorm. They left Ottawa yesterday morning and since the other officer was flving a heavier plane than Officer Lewis he went on ahead. Flying over the Rice Lake district, about 2,000 feet in the air the engine of the Moth plane began to miss but when Offi cer Lewis dropped to 1,000 feet, the engine started again. However, the engine began to give trouble again and he had to make a forced landing. It was with difficulty that the landing was made for the field, which he had chosen from the air, was very rocky and the oats, which were growing there, were just of sufficient height to catch the wheels of the machine and throw it.
