While we did everything possible to get the service going again as quickly as possible, we realize that the subscribers were caused conâ€" siderable inconvenience and wish to assure them that we appreciate their kindly symâ€" pathy. As soon as the accident happened to our cable, our Plant Superintendent, Mr. F. E. Thompâ€" son, telephoned from Timmins to the Secreâ€" tary at New Liskeard and arrangements were made with the Northern Electric Company to ship by express that same evening from Toâ€" ronto a new four hundred pair cable. We had men leave on the first trains from New Lisâ€" keard and Noranda and the men worked faithfully until the new cable was installed. NORTHERN TELEPHONE COMPANY LIMITED T. M. Busby When announcement was made a couple of weeks ago that the Ontario Government had entered suit against several North Land concerns for large amounts for failure to make returns under the Ontario Companies‘ Act there was a general feeling that there was some mistake in the matter or some explanation needed. The Northland Post, of Cochrane, for instance, was said to be sued for $86,460.00, which is considerably more than the total value of the business. Everybody realized that quite a number of Northland newspapers could be purchased outâ€" right for that amount. At the same time those who knew The Northland Post felt that that newspaper would SUIT FOR $86,460 DROPPED AGAINST THE NORTHLAND POST not attempt to evade any duty that it knew about. The explanation of the matter is given in the following ediâ€" torial paragraph in the last issue of The Cchrane Northland Post:â€" For the information of our friends and readers we wish to state that the * Shortly after five o‘clock on Thursâ€" day afternoon last two Toronto men strolling through the estate of Sir Donâ€" ald Mann on the Kingston Road near Toronto came across a man lying unâ€" conscious on the ground. The police were notified and the man was taken to the hospital where it was found that he was suffering from poisoning. The unfortunate man was unconscious when found but through letters in his pocket it was found that he was Bert Barnes, of Timmins. Later he regainâ€" ed consciousness and gave his name and the address of his people here who live across the river. The Toronto police communicated with the police here and the young man‘s mother left for Toronto last week. The young man is now reported as making good proâ€" gress to recovery, although at first his chances were not any too good. It is believed now, however, that he will be all right again in a short time. He is in the Toronto General hospital. It is understood that he took the piison himself, following despondency caused by a love affair. $86,460.00 suit entered by the Attorney General of Ontario against the Cochâ€" rane Northland Post Limited has been dropped. The suit was the result of "a failure to make annual returns, and until the news item concerning it apâ€" peared in the daily pvess, we were enâ€" tirely unaware that we were at fault, no notice of any kind having been reâ€" ceived by us. On taking the matter up with the Department, it developed that notice had been sent to a former memâ€" ber of the firm, who is no longer reâ€" sident of the town. In view of the fact that we had not been notified and were unaware that we had been remiss in any way, the department consented to withdraw the suit."
