AWAY TO THE WEST
AGAIN.
• C. J. WALLIS
Lest week Mr. C. J. Wallis started
on his 1912 trips for the Wet. On
Tuesday last he shipped two car load
of horses and they will be followed by
two more in a couple of weeks.
In speaking to the New En, Mr.
Wallis said he was afraid that ,the
money would be a scarce arttcle in the,
West owing to the fact the fanners
had not their grain sold and tberefore
would not have the cash to pay down
on tbe horses. .
If the prespetts were not bright
when he got to Winnipeg Mr. -Wallis
may go on to the Calgary markets.
In a year air. Wallis handles many
hoses in tbis section and takes limny,
trips West diming the year to dispose
,of them to the Western farmer.

Mr. Craig. spoke( in deter]: of the

to a by-law paasedt by the toavn
his 'Company wa.a required to em-
ploy 40 men, that presently 'they
had 20 employees in the Clinton
Motor Works, the) paling season
was just beginningand he antici-
pated every busirminer for his
Company which would mean that
he would ha v e to brin gen' more mess
to operate the business end that leg
%vas really now( in quite a delenama
as 'to hew hel.eould induce mensto

there are reallyt,no hawks- they

though his company sva,s.abnost pre
pared to employ the' number•re-
quired. bythe By -lave but the town
of Clinton had apparently not
taken into consideration the fade
that by compelling' the Clinton
Motor Car Co., to employ 40 men
they had matle{ no provision,s to
house them, The .sitita.tion from
Mr. Craig's point of view was a
serioas one and, was somethirug
that should gauge' the people of
Clinton to take cognizance of at
once as no' indisetry could • ex-
pand and no town could grow •un-
lesn with the goeoperetiom ol every

THAI AWFlit (?) KNOCK
Anyone who happened to read the
Council report in the News Record
last week, would have concluded that
something awful had happened by the
way that paper reported the utter-
ances of one Councillor, and in ease
the people did not reed it we give it
below:—
"Councillor Fred Jackson took ex-
ception to an editorial which recently
arpe,treci in The New Era and said
in part : "The press is always ad-
vising against "knocking our town"
but here is a sample of the woreb
and of "knocking." It is an attempt
to belittle the efforts of one of the
most active committees of our coun-
cil whose labors have been productive
of goocl restalts. It was largely thro-
ugh their exertions that the latest
industry was secured for Clinton and
I think (1 111 becomes any person to
refuse them credit for what they have
done."
'Phe Editor of the New Erv, happen'
ed to attend a Hockey match that
evening so had not the pleasure of
hearing the speech first hand, but up-
on receiving a paper we went over our
Ides and looked up the Editorial notes,
but could find nothing in the'Past two
or three weeke that even mentioned
Council notes or Board of Trade. We
discovered a "Local" on page 8, which
we {have been informed is the item
that Councillor Jackson objects to and
weberewith reprineit:—
A LIVE BOARD OP TRADE
'Can an Industrial Committee of
the Council take the place oe a Board
of Trade 7 The experience of other
towns would seem to answer question
in the negative. Members of the
Council have enovigh to do if they at-
tend to their duties efsficiently and it
is the business men outside the Coun-
cil who should provide the required
stimulus for a Live Board of Trade."
•it's wonderful how two great minds
don't think alike. The worthy Pres-
ident of the Beard of Trade, thought
the Edit'or was hitting the Board n
little hard during the past couple of
weeks but taking his own words for it.
'That when a meeting of the Board of
Trade is called five or six members
attend", it would seem that a Live
Board ofTrode was needed, and on
page 1 of this isulue it will be seen that
the officers of the Board ofTrade have
taken our v'esv of the matter, will re-
organize and see if they cannot wake
the members up. '
In writiing the local that appeared
on February 22nd, never expected
anyone to infer that we were trying
"to belittle the efforts of one of the
most active committees of our Coun-
cil," namely the Foundry Committee
of 1011, that secured the Motor Car
Co, We don't suppose Councillor T.
Jackson, who was chairman and who
had practically the lion's share of the
work, took the meaning out of the
Rene' '
