WHY SCOTLAND WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MESSAGE Mr. W. McHugh, Sr., has a lot of good stories. Here‘s another:â€" According to one of the electors who spoke in an Edinburgh ward, Scotland had at least two representatives at the Battle of Trafalgar. When â€"Nelson‘s famous signal, expects every man to do his duty,"‘ was hoisted, one turned to the other and said: ‘‘There‘s nae a wurd aboot auld Sceotland."‘ PCP ©There‘s nae need,"‘ was the reply, ‘©Nelson kens every Scotsman‘ll dae his duty.‘‘ SUGGESTSs IMPORTANCE OF KAMISKOTIA DEVELOPMENT Last week Solloway, Mills Co., of Toronto, issued the following paraâ€" graph that will no doubt be read \nth l : )X Olke® 925 2+ 00 4 general interest:â€"‘‘Evidence that the Hollinger Gold Mines are in Kamisâ€" kotia to stay and that developments are assuming larger proportions every day, is a criterion of .the importance of the Kamiskotia property of the Hollinger Gold Mines. Drifting 900 feet on the 150 foot levels, drills have been utilized at 50â€"foot intervals to cut the ore body laterally. A certam amount of authenticity is given the report that the ore body has been traced a distance of over 900 feet in length and has an average width of 200 feet. The grade of ore is said to average around $10 a ton, and that we feel that when a statement is isâ€" sued by the company as to blockedâ€" out ore, the focusing of attention on the whole Kamiskotia section will be more prevalent. A new compressor with a capacity of 20 drills is now on the way to the property. It is underâ€" stood that the Hollinger is negotiating for more ground in this area.‘" New York World :â€"The poor people of London, England, are in the swim these days, all right.

There were two gentlemen nominated are tOo CIECLEU LOL Cduil There were two gentlemen nominated for office who are not yet members, so that it was not possible to include their names on the ballot sheet sent out. Those who duly qualified areâ€" For President (one only to be voted for), Mr. Geo. S. Drew, Dr. 8. H. Harâ€" rison, and Mr. Austin E. Neame.. .1st Viceâ€"President: Mr. H. C. Garner, M.C., Mr. Austin E. Neame and Dr. A. S. Porter, M.C. 2nd Viceâ€"Presiâ€" dent: the same names as for lst viceâ€" president were nominted.. Executive Committee: (Five to be elected) Mr. F: J, Bradley, D:C.M., M.M., Mr. J. Callum, Mr. W. A. Devine, Mr. Geo. S. Drew, Mr. H. C. Garner, M.C., Mr. J. G. Harris, Mr. F. J. Hornby, Mr. W. 0.

I regret to state that Mr. F. Stonehouse was inadverâ€" that Mr. F. Stonehouse was inadverâ€" tently omitted from the ballot sheet, but that can be remedied by \\rltmw his name on the ballot paper, if so desired, under the heading of the list of names for election to the Executive Committee. I take this opportunity of tendering my apoligies to Mr. 1. Stonehouse for this lapse on my part, and sincerely hope that it will no enâ€" danger his election to the Executive Committee. “To err is human, to forgive divine.‘‘ The names as apâ€" pearing on the ballot paper are printâ€" ed in alnhabetical order, as is â€"ecustomâ€" ed in alphabetical order, as is customâ€" ary on all ballot papers. Several members in good standing have expressed the hope that the preâ€" sent Secretaryâ€"Treasurer continue in office. As to that, the rule relating to secretaries or secretaryâ€"treasurers of branches of the Legion provides that the secretary or secretaryâ€"treas. shall be appointed by the executive comâ€" mittee. â€" The aboveâ€"mentioned rule readsâ€"‘*‘7â€"The committee shall apâ€" point a secretary or secretaryâ€"treasâ€" urer and such other officers, servants and agents as may be required for the proper working of the branch. It shall have all the power of the branch except the power to rescind or alter any rules, regulations or byâ€"laws adopted by the branch, the power to expel member save as otherwise proâ€" vided by these rules, and the power to raise money by way of loan, or mortgage on debeatures, or to sell any 1ealt\ or assets belonging to the Leâ€" gion. So that my fate rests in the llalldb of the newlyâ€"elected executive committee. But that will not prevent an epression of opinion at the annual general meeting. As Shakespeare say sâ€"â€"“to be or not to be, that is the question.‘ The following letter received from the provincial secretary is selfâ€"exâ€" planatory :â€"‘‘To all branch secre-! taries.
