=Give Them a Trial
Goderie 1, June 25.—:The Ontarin
and Wes Shore Railway is to be
advertised for sale by teener.
Today, at Kintaiil,representatives
of the Various inur.ielpalities
which guarantee bonds for the prv-
jection of the railway and which
were consequently stung, met and
decided upon this action. The
meeting also passed a resolution
urging • the attorney generale de-
partment to speedily endeavor to
apprehend W, J. Moyes and to take
the necessary steps to' extradite
that gentleman if he should hap-
pen to be located in a foreign
country.
Solicitors of the tlnunicipalities
were authorized to render any
assistance to the attorney -generals
department in this regard. In-
structions were also given to the
solicitors to proceed against,Tor--
onto General Trust Company and
the brokerage farm of Osler S Co.
Toronto, to recover moneys paid
out by them, it is allegedAiilegally
and in' bulk these claims' amount to
533,000.
Believes They can Recover Fund.
Wm. Proudfoot, K, C., one of the
solicitors for the imuticipalities,
advised the meeitng that therowas
a good chance of recovering f,18,-
000 from the trust company, this
amount renreseVing accrued inter-
est on the proceeds of the sale of
guaranteed boucle. It is Nalaimed
that the trust company had •no
authority to pay this interest to
Moyes. Mr, Proudfoot believes that
more than IB18,000 could be recov-
ered from the trust company be-
cause of their having allowed Moy
es to draw the money whi,e41 was
not actually spent in the construc-
tion of the road.
The claim against' itho A. E.
Osler company in 515,000 gvhich
Moyes is alleged to have paid them
of the funds of the Lake (More
Railway to cover a short loan he
had negotiated to put ;through
a private deal in Philadelphia.
The feeling was expressed that
Engineer V. M. Roberts, of Gode-
rich, 'was in measure responsi-
ble for the condition of affairs, in
having subscribed his name to
progress certificates by (which
Moyes was able to draw money
from the trust company.
Not Promised Inunur.i,
Mr. Proudfoot assured a question
er that Engineer Roberts had been
promised no immunity because of
the admissions he made before the
Ontario Railway :Board.
It was also asked if any claim

The New Era enters upon
the last lap of a half century
run. On the 6th of July, 1865,
the New Era first made its I
bow to the public, and itithere
fore celebrates its 49th birth-
day.
It was established by the
late E, Holmes, =liter several
other newspapers had passed
into the newspaper graveyard.
After running it for several
years, Mr. .Holmes sollcl it to
Mr. Robert Matheson, now a
resident of Chicago, who con-
ducted the paper from 1869 to
the spring of 9872.
The paper came back into
the hands of Mr. Holmes, and
the latter sold it to the late
Edward Grigg. At the end
of six months Holmes & Son
became the olvners. and in a
few years Mr, Robert Holmes
took charge, who sold out to
the present owners in 1909.
People will hardly credit it
that the present proprietors
have been here five years, 'd.nd
and we are,' reminded that
"time flies."
To our correspondents, rea-
ders and staff, the editors re-
turn thanks for 'ail past favors
and looks forward to a dia-
mond jubilee. '
