LOTTIE TRAVELLED SOME .Alleged Hawaiian Advertised as Red Cron Speaker has Police Record An important arrest was made at Sault Ste, Marie, Oat, on Thursday by D. H. Reynolds, Travelling Inspector of the Dominion Immigration Depart- inent, as No. 18 C. P. R. train pulled in from the United States. Lot,:ie L. Tillotson, alias Mary McLean, alias Melba. Costella, widely advertised for a lecturing tour throughout Algoma District, supposedly in tbo interest of the RedCroes Societies, and alleged to be a native of Hawaii, stepped off the train to fill, as she expected, an engag- ment here at two of the leading churches to -night and to -morrow, But she was taken by surprise when she found herself in the toils of the Immigration Department, which had been quietly waiting her arrival, The woman,' who in reality is a citizen of the United States, has, it is alleged,• had a bad record -in Canada. On Sept. 4, 1913 she was convicted in Toronto on a charge of shoplifting and sentenced to six months in Mercer Re- formatory under the name of Mary McLean. On July 22ad of the same year, on a charge of theft in Hamilton Ont;, under the name of Melba Cos- tello, she was given.a suspended een. tence on two charges, and again in the same city, on August 12, 1913, on a conviction of theft, was allowed out on deferred sentence. She has been under surveillance by the Dominion police for some time. After examination by the immigra- tion officers she was arraigned before Magistrate Andrew Elliott at the Instigation of Crown Attorney Good - 'Win, on a charge of a breach of the ineinigration laws and pleaded guilty, A line of 850 and costs was imposed, or in default three months in jail. She'paid the fine.and was deported to the United States. Accused was rep- resented by G. H. Hayward. --Toronto Globe. Lottie addressed a Wingham audi- ence last October, and made it very unpleasant for the ladies who looked after the financial end of ,the business.

The total payments for the month of Jan- uary will aggregate $4,500, including the amounts retained and placed in the Savings Bank to the credit of the beneficiaries. It is worth noting that this system of saving one-balf the monthly allowance, 'adopted by this Branch bas been found of great bene- fit to participants who found them- selves in an emergency which needed the help of a little ready cash, and the example of the Huron Branch has been urged by the Ottawa Executive for general adoption. An audited statement from Ottawa shows that, in the years 1915 and 1916, a total of $53.026 was drawn from the general fund for distribution in Huron County, and this large sum has bean handled here without the disagree. ment of one cent with the audit at Ottawa. A report from the Executive of the Citizens' Campaign fund of 1915 and 1916 in Goderlch showed that. inched. Ing the town's share, about $2,395 was in arrears on Deo. 21st, but, with the town's balance paid, the amount to be collected and considered good was 8452,75 and this, it is understood will be in shortly. The expense of the working of the Patriutic Branch in this County is less than 2 of one per cent , made up of a small salary for clerical help, office rent, printing, etc„ and notwithstand- ing an occasional impression to the contrary, not one cent has ever been paid to the officials who are conduct.. ing the work, Two other branches of war work are looming up, and will likely, entail a large amount of labour separate from the ordinary . Patriotic work. •Ttreee are, first, the Pensions branch. With- in the last ten days about thirty sets of papers for settling elaiwa have been received at this office,and these are now in the hands of the respective Reeves where the soldiers' families live, to be filled up and sent in to the Patriotic officials here and theu for- warded to the Pensions Board at Ott- awa for settlement. Altogether about 85 casualties are under consideration for thie County up to date, Then, second, the care of disabled soldiers who are returned to this Coun- ty. This work, invloving continuous and careful attention, will be under- taken by the War Auxiliary of the County, Mr. W. Brydone, of Cfnton, the County President, addressing the County Council on Tuesday last for co-operation in the work. . It will be seen from the above that the work in connection with Huron's share in the war is no small matter, but the Executive and the officials who are carrying it on do so with a desire to do "their bit" willingly and cheer- fully. For a time the work was conduc- ted uuder extreme difficulty, with no proper office accommodation, but now aroom in the Masonic Temple building is occupied, and with adequate equip- ment there is no delay In any part of the work.

Power would be received from Eugenia Falls and it was already at Hanover. if a number Of the villages in this vicinity would Contract for hydro, power could be Secured by all for a much less cost Mr. James said the commission would send up an engineer who would go thoroughly into the affairs of the Wingham plant and would send in his report after which the commission Would advise 'the town as to the }roper rate to charge for power and the value of their plant or any other information which they might desire. They would also investigate the municipalities in this neighbour- hood in regard to the proposed hydro extension, tit was decided to ask the commis - ion to send their engineer up to Wing - ham on March 5th to explain to the farmers the many advantages they would derive by the hydro exteneion passing their farms, not only by having their buildings lighted, but by flit use, to them as a power producer.

The shape of Wawanosh, as it origin- ally stood, was almost that of a per. foot square, it being only alightly long- er from north to south than from east to west. It is situated in the most northerly range of Huron County townships, and is bounded on the north by the Township of Kinloss in Bruce, and a portion of Turnberry; the Townships of Morris on the east, Hullett and Colborne on the south, and Ashfield on the west, form its other boundaries. The topography of Wawanosh is quite uniformly of that nature which, though not excessively hilly, is somewhat more than "gently undulating", except in the vicinity of the Maitland River, which traverses the townships from a point near he north-eastern extremity, in an exceed. ingly tortuous course, to the southern boundary, at M;ancheeter, about mid. way between its eastern and western limits. In the neighborhood, of the Maitland, then, the land is decidedly rough, and the crooked course of the river, imparts this rough and broken nature to a comparatively large area of the township, Wawanosh was behind most of the townships of the county in the date of its early settlement; however, as early as 1840, or soon thereafter, John Jack. man settled on Lot 13. Con. 1, of the township. The first male child born in Wawanosh was a son of this gentle- man, who was named 'John Wawa- wanosh", after both his father and the township, and today he occupies the farm on which his father originally settled. There was a female child horn in the township prior to the birth of the Jackman Infant, a daugh. ter of Robert Shannon, who located on Lot, 19, Con. 1. About this time also Mr. Charles Glrvin, who has since been Warden of the county, settled on Lot 13, Con. 2. By 1846 the number of children in this portion of Wawa- nosh and the adjoining Township of Ashfield demanded that provision should be made for the. dissemination of education, and the first school -house was ' accordingly erected in that year on Lot 13. Con 2; and John Mc - Brine was the first teacher engaged to conduct the eohool. This sohool.hou.e was the first place in the township where religious services were regular• ly held. and the year ofits' erection Rev. Alex, McKfd, who; wase as hie name implies, -a Presbyterian, held the first Divine service here, though there had probably been eermone preached by Methodist ministers prior to that date, Tbat. portion of -the township near St. Helens began to receive sett. lers about 1849, when John and Wth. Gordon and Joseph Gaunt and sons moved in. They were followed in 1851 by Hugh Rutherford, who settled on Lot 14, Con. 10, and the next year James Somerville built the pioneer mill of the township on Lot 16, Cob. 10. Previous to this time, also, the Altons had located near Belfast; John Sherriff on the Bruce town -line; and Duncan and Hugh McPherson and Donald Cameron in the 12th Conces- sion, near St. Helen's. As early as 1852 Hezekiah Helps had settled near the preeent- town -line, be. tween East and West Wawanosh, near Manchester. He kept a yoke of oxen, and used to draw in supplies for the settlers who had located further north in Wawanosh, as *ell as those in the east of that township and west part of Morris. His house for many years formed a kind of "half -way bouse" for settlers passing to and from the north and east. About this time also Frank Brandon and John Owens settled near Belgrave, and Thomas Agnew a few lots further west. There was no settlement north of them at that time; but in 1851 the Currie brothers—Robert,. John and David— Bottled *on Lots 40 and 41, along the Turnberry town.line, near Wingham. Prom this time onward a steady and rapid tide of settlers flowed into Wawanosh, and the settlement of the township soon beoanio general. The municipal history of Wawanosh as a separate township takes date from its separation from Ashfield in 1853, and although the records of its muni oipal transactions from that time up to 1838 are lost, yet we find by refer. euce to the minutes of the Counties' Council during those years that We.wa. nosh Was represented in that body for the fleet time in 1852 by John Pointe laud, Reeve, who was followed 1853 by Charles Girvlu, who held the office continuously for three years.
