left stouffville in 1892 and never saw the place again until last week home burned in rainy river district election talk about markham thieves continue their farm raids it is just 43 years last spring since joseph lehman of altona en trained at stouffville for the north country intending to settle in the rainy river district he reached his destination all right and re mained there almost continually until last saturday when he traversed his steps and landed again for the first time in all those years in the old village of stoufiville to spend and indefinite time at the home of his sister mrs william watson centre main street the only time mr lehman left the bush country of rainy river was to go farther west on a number of occasions to help in the harvest fields out on the prairies beyond winnipeg joe lehman encountered all the hardships of the pioneer settler north of the great lakes he took over 160 acres of land built him self a log home doing all of the work himself but on november 16 last tire visited his shack and laid low the humble home of the settler mr lehman cieared the timber from about half his land and could handle a shovel or axe with the best of them despite a crippled hand from an accident which befel him before he left the old home district east of stouffville speaking of boyhood days he re calls a number of his school chums who went to the little red school house or was it red among them he mentioned dr l j burk- holder of chicago being a bachelor it comes natural for mr lehman to be opposed to consolidated schools which he maintains are a curse to the northern district and the cause for mounting taxes on farm lands he paid over 60 last year which is considerable for unbroken country deprived of many comforts enjoyed in older ontario a man of 74 years joe lehman may rest in comfort the remainder of his life in the assur ance that he has done his full share of work but were it not for his crippled hand he would never stop for he looks good for many years to come hydro extension the markham rural hydro is ex tending its lines steadily over the south end of whitchurch and the latest farmer to prepare for the current is mr seneca baker whose barns and house are now being wir ed it isreported that signers are ready totake the current in and around bloonnngton in which case it should bebut a short time before the lmcis continued across the baker sideroad to serve the people on the 9th concession the ontario government con cession toward defraying part of the cost of the primary line coupled with the possibility of very reason able price for current is bound to attract more and more users and after all nobody stands in need of electric current to a greater extent than the farmer and his wife goodwood the ixast

saturday for tho purposo of receiving the levy from any who wish to meet hiin there thus far taxes are coming in in a highly satisfactory way and receipts up to this time arc up to or slightly better than a year ago a fair lady in town is looking for rusty come along old iboy mrs nell of agincourt visited her sister mrs lyman fields this week the ladies aid of the baptist church met at mrs willard

miss gladys wagg took suddenly ill on saturday evening and on going io the doctor was informed that she must havo her appendix re moved at once and was later re moved to newmarket hospital where she was operated on tho latest reports are favourable and we sincerely hope that she will soon bo able to be home again those interested in the work of the bible socioty will be pleased with the amount collected at good wood the sum of 4715 fron this locality and 1735 from rosevillo and siloam a total of 6450 has been sent to tho societys office in toronto the editor of the richmond hill liberal has been doing some scout ing in markham township to ascer tain just how the wind is blowing respecting a municipal election in january and who may be in the field editor smith found that there was the usual diversion of opinion with no general demand for a scrap indicating there are no big issues at stake there are those he says who predict an acclama tion all around for reeve and councillors in markham and there are those who say there is bound to be an election continuing he re ports the veteran reeve george b padget is likely to be in the field for reelection and most prominent ly mentioned as a possible opponent is exdeputy reeve w l clark who ran a tight race with the present reeve last january deputyreeve rennie will seek reelection in his present post and all members of the council are likely e ndidates for reelection others mentioned as possible candidates for various posts are exreeve w c gohn exdeputy reeve r l stiver bill champion exdeputy reeve kineaid former councillor r j beatty george topper and a dark horse candidate from the victoria square district if all these enter the lists along with some workers candidates from the subdivision district who feel the relief administration has not been sufficiently generous the electors can look for a lively contest we might add to the observations of the richmond hill editor that plenty of electors in east markham think that deputy reeve rennie is the only logical successor to the veteran george as reeve of the township and his friends may in sist on his advancement this com ing nomination day this leads us to ask would mr padgett step aside tor mr rennie or would he wait for the electors to decide the issue our guess is that he will step out when mr rennie says so but mr rennie recognizes no doubt in mr padgett an able representative whom ho is not in a hurry to move how ever electors see differently and may force an issue from some angle anyway whatever happens the open season for municipal greetings and handshaking is now on this is the time of year when large bodies of ratepayers wait on certain people in the hope of pressing them into the public service and it will soon be nomination day when those seeking municipal honors get up to thank their movers and seconders and those who have been in office take the platform to give an account of their stewardship nominations this year will be held monday dec 30th and the elections will be held one week later close on the heels of fred winn being robbed a week ago of a valu able pen of chickens thieves again raided a farm property in the viein- plowmen going to england as a result of their prowess in the art of plowing a number of ontario boys at least one of whom will be a stouffville winner will go to england some time in january to ity of stouffville on sunday night compete in the big british competi attractive prices at auction sale they entered the premises of gordon crowder who works the ira raymer farm on the sth concession of whitchurch just across from the home of reeve newton rae and adjoining moran bakers premises and carried off an electric motor no trace of the thieves was left and there being no snow they could not be tracked on the hard roads the electric motor did all the work in the milk house such as separating pumping cutting etc george talbot reports the theft of two pigs from his premises on the sth concession the old flewel farm just south of ballantrae and in all these cases there are no clues north whitchurch suffered heavily last week when the poultry houses on the farms of jack skinner less rose and david mc- clure of the pine orchard district were raided and many birds taken a chap named rumacki on the vivian sideroad was also a victim when his entire poultry holdings were cleaned out it is believed that a quantity of grain was taken saturday night or early sunday morning from the farm of the late otto baker where the big sale was held on wednesday last week the granary was not locked and it was impossible to tell the extent of the theft at the time the tribune called farmers are confronted with enough troubles without the added burden of having to police their premises all night which is an in novation of the near future unless something can be done to bring the thieves to account down in scar- boro hen pens have to be lighted every night because men love dark ness better than light to carry out their evil designs tions that are being arranged at this time but as yet is only in the pro posal stage it is understood that canadians will compete in three classes at least for empire competition for which there will be two tractor classes two jointer classes and two for junior farmers fred timbers of whit church is likely to be one chosen to represent the massey harris co in the tractor competition and alex black another outstanding winner is reported to be named by the fleury plow co to handle their plow in the jointer class these classes are subject to change and well informed plow men believe they should be for instance high cut is a very promi nent in england in practical work should be in the competition in this even our win timbers twice provincial champion would be call ed on to go there would be at least six com petitors to go from ontario should the plan come to maturity it is even suggested that some of the best plow teams should go from canada sponsored by some of the local outstanding stables of heavy draft and clyde horses interested in british overseas markets bloomington coupe rams truck travelling

niagaras great boon to humanity lemon paisley is progressing favorably following his operation in a toronto hospital and it is expect ed that he will be able to return home in a couple of weeks at least election talk is very quiet in this locality but we all anticipate that reeve rae and councillor jess cook will hold their offices for another year and this is our hope irrespec tive of what we think of the condi tion of the 9th concession as a road although christmas is very close the roads are splendid and there has been little frost to create mud this fall in riiaking this statement we would not have our township officials imagine the folks on the 9th are proud of the concession line which is badly in need of a tarvla top to take care of the heavy truck and car traffic that passes this way much work has been put on this road but it will not stand up under the travelling conditions of today the district of bloomington was cast into deep gloom when the news spread of the death of
