TOMLINSON* mI.P. Prominent Huron Farmer’* Passins Is Mourned , John Brotchie Was Lifelong Resi­ dent Of Huron Township—Father Was Precentor In Kinloss Church For Many Years. Early in the forties John James Brochie and his/wife, Margaret Mai-- colmson arrived in Muddy/ York . from a six weeks’ ocean voyage from the Orkney Islands. From York they made their way to Erin town- ~-shiir~in Wellington - • County to a homestead. There Jphn Brotchie, theft son and, the subject of this sketch was born September 7, 1846; "Thert a youth of twenty he made the - —journey—with—his- —father—fromHErftr to Huron township, travelling with oxen and: making the. .trip, in three ■ days. ‘ | " They settlecr on ■ Lot 2, . Con. 4, Huron. Shortly stfter, the rest of the family joined them. They were con- nected with Kinloss Church and for ■ many years Mr. Brotchie Sr. per­ formed the duties of precentor. The Wellington, Grey and Bruce ; branch, now known as the C. N. R. railway, crossed the Brotchie farm and John Brotchie used to relate that, on May 24, 1874, when the road was officially opened and the first train passed through, free rides weVe - given to people from Lucknow to ■ Ripley, and fr-om—Ripley to—Kincar­ dine, and many persons came to their farm to watch the spectacle of the i' passing train. ] Great pedestrians were the old ; timers! On one occasion Mr., Brotchie led a cow from Kinloss to Goderich. On another occasion when a young man on his father’s farm he took a loud of barley to Goderich for which he received $1.50 a bushel. That was a great price. even at that time/ He divided his money dn two pockets.; ^contents -of one ■’pocket. "The old igeti-^ tieman was' greatly surprised that he had received so, much, but when John produced the balance from the ■ »ther pocket his amazement was bc- ypnd words. The Brotchies owned ‘ the first democrat in Huron township, bring­ ing* it from Erin. It was something of a curiosity in those days. In z 1874. John Brotchie married Flora Black,-, daughter of Dugalo Blaok, a neighboring pioneer. She predeceased her husband ip 1909. . The family consisted of three sons, John, Dugald and Neil, of Huron; Ford, of Kincardine township; . and four daughters I/ouise and Christine, at home; Robina, who died in 1921; and Mary, Mrs. “Wallace Bromley: of Kincardine township. There are four grandchildren Vousden and Ber­ nice Bromley and , Robert and Flora Brotchie. ’ The Brotchies gave up Lot 2 and . for *a time, occupied’the present Har rington place, then a farm besidv Olivet- fehurch, but thirty-two years' ago they bought Finlay McLen­ nan’s farm on the 1st concession and that has been their home ever since. Mr. Brotchie and the late Mr. Harrington wete two of Huron’s well, known and justly celebrated thiesh- er'men. Once ‘ or twice every year .they were welcomed, and royally cn- " tertained on scores of farms. > Of Mr. Brotchie a friend testifies: “He was best know apd best loved-i in his own home and neighborhood. He was a real neighbor, ’willing to lendwand given to' hospitality. He Was company for young and old, be­ cause he possessed the gift youthfulness.” . . . r ... . He made occasional visits to the late Dugald Mackenzie of Tiverton, a chum of olden dn.Vs, and to David McRindle on the ,5th of Kincardine a fellow nonagenarian with whom he was well acquainted from Huron/s earliest days. Death came t.o Mr. Brotchie after fwo months*, confinement to bed on Tuesday, February . 18, and, he ; laid to rest, in -Ripley cemetcrv Thursday. Rev. C, N. Mackenzie Ripleys'United Church officiated Review-Reporter. of The Minister of Agriculture moved* an amendment to a Resolution dir­ ecting that an investigation be held into the increase in the pirice of agricultural,-..implements.— although t$e.' tariff has been lowered 50%. The Standing Committee on- Agriculture has been directied to investigate the whole matter* and make a report, and I am fortunate enough to have been chosen as1^ a member <»bf this most important/Committee, I Shall be able to< report progress. Most, of the week has been taken', up with the debate bn the Canada— United States Trade Agreements, (t is now apparent that , the Conser­ vatives are the only ones opposing these important pacts. The surprise of the week however, was the speech af the Hon. Charles Dunning, Min­ ister of Finance, who replied to the- Leader of; the Opposition^ the Rt. Hon.. R. B. Bennett. Mr. Dunning produced evidence to show that the Conservative government, while in ’ '-bower, were willing to grant'the in­ termediate tariff to the United States on1* goods coming into the country. He attempted to enter into jiegotiations- in_.November, 1934, and the reason Why these were not suc­ cessful was because of the cattle situation. However, it is quite ap­ parent, from speeches made by Liberal members from all over the “DominiOni"“"tlfar“"these’ "agreements will benefit the industries affected by an increase in sales which will naturally result in increased prices for the producer of basic products. An amusing incident occurred when the Member for Northumberland, W. A. Fraser, startled thir~' House by rising to a point -of order on what he termed a sjerious national problem. Apparently his constit­ uents are not able to purchase that national Scotch dish direct from Scotland but have to have it rquted via Paris, France. It developed later that the reason for this was the lack of meat inspection in the British Lsles and the fear that foot 4 and moiithdiseasemightenterwiththe haggis. France however is protected on this point, hence the importation from France. The Minister promised hi investigate this important matter. fLOCALandCENERAl?)

TO TAX SUMMER COTTAGES A survey by the Ontario Depart- nent of Lands and Forests has re­ vealed that many summer homcs< including some sumptuous places, have been erected on crown land without authority or title. The □artment is issuings tax bills owners of these homes under Public. Lands Act. Five dollars for a ' frontage twenty-five; feet is the minimum hargie. Since the properties involved ire on lakefronts and river banks., the situation applies also to boat­ houses, docks and other structures •m crown land for which no title has been obtained. « “An example of the matter is pro­ vided by Bruce Beach on Lake Hur­ on,” explained Walter Gain, . Deputy Minister of Lands and Forests. “We have surveyed about 150 lots ’of crown land here and have discovered about 100 cottages which have . been erected without regard to ownershin nr title of, land.
