may be drawn upon without waste the first two are the seedlings on the pasture lots and small trees on lots to be cleared ed for agricultural purposes the other is the thick stands where it is

the editors of local newspapers are often blamed for partiality in their notices ot churches societies and oven families when the fact is the parties most interested are the ones to blame local newspapers dont possess a sufficient numhor of icporters to send to every church service in the range of its circula tion and they must depend on some person to send in the news many pastors or leaders in the congrega tion do this and their items are gladly printed many societies ap point a press secretary to attend to his important work the newmarket fish club had a speckled trout preserve between 15 and 20 years ago at what is now known as cedar valley in the town ship of whitchurch about six miles east of newmarket and was known for many years as taylors mills a toronto man mr wm brodie rent ed the pond property and also bought 70 acres adjoining from john foote of newmarket three years ago and fixed it so as to have a small pond for cultivating trout the original dam at the intersec tion of the canadian national rail way on the muskoka and parry sound route with the pine orchard road was built by aaron haines about the year 1840 and also a saw mill to run by waterpower it was in the midst of a thickly wooded pine district and did a thriving business in a small way aaron haines was one of the ger man quakers who took up land in new york state and after doing set tlement duties they asked for the deeds of their properties the state refused to grant the deeds stating they wanted yearly rentals this was not what the settlers were promised so they treked in large numbers te canada in 1796 imany of them took up land in markham township and are known by the name of tunk aards they are an intelligent and thrifty community and have establ ished a record for honesty and religious zeal haines was one of these men but being of a mechani cal mind he followed up the creek till he came to what he considered would be a good location for a saw mill and in this he showed wisdom how he managed to build the road to civilization and transport the lumber to a market place in those early days is more than we can imagine when the farming lands in the state of illinois were opene d for settlement about 1850 he was per suaded to sell out to joseph taylor grandfather of mrs j w stephens of newmarket and go out west with the trek of new settlers the first mill was burnt down in a few years and his son john taylor built another the spring freshets caused a lot of trouble and after the experience of some 20 years he sold the mill which passed through two or three hands and finally into the possession of wm cane sons of newmarket they finished up all the pine timber in the neighborhood and removed the machinery to new market the returning spring floods carried the dam away and the mill went tho way of all the earth the newmarket trout preserve was rather a failure owing to the numerous washouts of the dam a chopping mill with water power is about the only activity of a once buzzing little hive of industry a store post office and freight sheds meet the needs of the community mr john taylor went out to north dakota strayed back to western canada after a few ears and passed away at dalphin manitoba ibout 12 years ago he was a itaunch conservative in politics vractlced veterinary with consider able success was a prominent lember of the methodist episcopal iburch in newmarket and a friend t all in need mr aaron halnea the founder of te cedar valley sawmill was a bother of the late israel haines of saron and an uncle of mr aaron hlnes
