They think that George saw them coming. At any rate he left in a hurry and alt they saw of him was his back as he travelled swiftly over the hills and far away. The officers did not think they could overtake him so they let him go unmolested while they turned their attention to other matters. About one hundred gallons of homeâ€" brew was seized and destroyed. There was a quantity of ‘‘mash‘" on the preâ€" mises, and charges will be preferred in connection with these matters.

According to information given in outside newspapers the shareholders of the Teckâ€"Hughes Mines have ratiâ€" fied thereâ€"organization plan whereby the capital stock is increased froim $2,500,000 to $4,000,000, and a fiveâ€" year bond issue of $600,000.00 is arâ€" ranged, subject to reductions.

Nor for that matâ€" ter was Mr. Bertrand. It was a three cornered battle in which neither seâ€" eession nor Mr. Bertrand were seâ€" riously considered. It is more than likely,â€"it is certain,â€"that the people shall hear much more of ‘‘this secesâ€" sion talk,‘‘ unless the North Land is given aâ€" square deal. The territory and the plans for secession as outlinâ€" ed by Mr. Bertrand are simply the inâ€" dividual ideas of Mr. Bertrand. On the other hand there is a serious feelâ€" ing in favour of the secession of the territory west and north of North Bay,â€"a territory with interests in common and ideas and ideals in comâ€" mon. . There will be an increase in seâ€" cession talk unless this territory can get a squire deal,â€"and so far the preâ€" sent Government, partly ‘through ignorance and partly through negliâ€" gence or worse, has refused to give the square deal and fair play. So far as may be learned or deduced, no parâ€" ty and no material group of people deoâ€" sired Mr, Bertrand to run in this elecâ€" tion, unless it would be the Farmers‘ Government Party who would like to be able to say, ‘‘See, there is nothing to all this secession talk.‘. The motto for the North Land still remains:â€" **A Square Deal, or Secession."‘ In another matter The Speaker alâ€" so speaks out of time and tune. <In referring to the independent Liberal Farmer candidate, the New Liskeard paper says:â€"*‘*Bertrand did not poll more than about 100 votes, and will contribute his $200 deposit to the Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canâ€" ada. He now knaoiws that Northern Ontario does not want a new Proâ€" vinee: Before launching out with the idea of carrying such a scheme he should have visited various parts of the North coun‘try and consulted the people. It is not likely that we shall hear any more about this New Proâ€" vince fad."" In its last issue The New Liskeard Speaker has a frontâ€"page editorial on the election results in Temiskaming.‘ The article is headed, ‘"‘Mr. MeEaâ€"! chren Will Represent Temiskamin‘g.": It may be that The Speaker is sim[)lyl a prophet, but on the face of it the apâ€" | pearances are ‘that the New ‘Liskeardi newspaper spoke too soon. In the arâ€"‘ ticle, The Speaker says:â€"‘*It was not ' until Wednesday night that news was‘ received that put the election of Mr.| MceEFachren beyond doubt. It is said that his majority will be albout 700. | Mr. MceEFachren is energetic and en-l terprising and will, we are assured, look welt after the interests of this large constituency.
