Opposite Goldfields Hotel Block Phone 103 for Appointments MAJOR LANG IN COMMAND OF REâ€"ORGANIZED 97th Col. D. M. Brodie, of Sudbury, Reâ€" signs, and Command Taken Over by Major Mac Lang, M.P. At a meeting some days ago in North Bay, Col. D. M. Brodie, ofticer commanding the 97th Regiment, reâ€" sizned his command as he has found it impossible to carry on the duties any longer to his own satisfaction. The 97th was formed in 1893 with headquarters at Sudbury. . At the meeting called for North Bay there were twelve former ofticers present. It was decided to have the headâ€"| quarters of the regiment transferred to Haileybury. The regiment will be recruited to a strength of 150 officers and men for the present, with the inâ€" tention of having this number greatly increased in the years to come. â€" There was a suggestion of having this part of the North Land divided into four districts, with a company from each district. One of the districts, likely would include the Poreupine area. In the meantime Major Mae Lang is to be the officer commanding. Major Lang has been associated with the regiment for many years. The 159th Battalion was largely recruited, espeâ€" cially on the start, from the 97th Batâ€" talion. â€" There is therefore a considerâ€" able measure of appropriateness in the fact that Major Lang has selected as the commanding officer of the 97th, as he was in that regament for a considerable time and went overâ€" seas with the 159th, giving good serâ€" vice to King and country and the right, across in France and Flanders in the Forestry department. The reâ€"organized 97th will be briâ€" zaded with ithe Owen Sound Greys, the Simeoe Forests and the Twentyâ€" third Parry Sound regiment. It is expected that the 97th will spend a couple of weeks at Owen Sound in August this year. The camp will be from August 4th to the 15th. Magjor Lang is away from Haileybury on business this week, but on his return the matter of recruiting for the 97th @ will be undertaken in active way. TEN PLAYERS IN SCOTTISH TEAM WITH INT.

These new structures will inâ€" clude a modern hotel, an upâ€"toâ€"date hospital and an attractive new eclub house.

With the accommoâ€" dation provided by the new buildings planned for this year the town of Kapuskasing will have still further impetus in its remarkable growth. With the establishment of the Spruce Falls Co. at Kapuskasing the future of that town was assured and growth and development made certain.
