until february 11 to come to an agreement members of the board would not indicate the course that would be taken if the rivals failed to settle their dispute it was learned there was more than an even chance that in event of failure the board would name claremont an open district for telephone companies and let them fight it out for the 37 odd subscrib ers in the place claremont borderline police

passing through certainly if each ease were isolated the danger of spreading the disease would be greatly lessoned wouldnt it bo a good thing if a series of articles relative to the subject be written by one of our local doctors the other day we came across a copy of a toronto evening star published in the year 1s9s 37 years ago which made reference to several establishments then thriving in the village of stouffville the mansion house which still stands on main street near the depot was given an historical sett ing although the business done there today is not even a skeleton of that transacted in the olden days the hotel still stands as a memento of the good old days mrs miller widow of the late frank miller almost lives a private life in the big building and while she still hangs out the shingle for boarders and travellers they are few who respond in these days ol motbr travel and keen opposition from other eating and sleeping places in stouffville and the sur rounding

for twentythree years have the millers father and son wel comed their guests these guests are men whose homes are on the road or whose business calls them away for shorter or longer periods it has always been the millers policy to make their house as much home as possible the house was built about 23 years ago by mr elijah miller and five years later it was consumed by fire losing all they had in the con flagration mr miller nothing daunted rebuilt and the fine house stands a monument to his pluck mr miller the elder is dead these eleven years and the responsibility of management fell on
