During the process of excavating for the foundations of the creamery ou Friday and Saturday and the early part of this week and after reaching a depth of fifteen or sixteen feet be- low the level of the roadway, work- men unearthed a mass of heavy square rock elm timbers, some of which are still itt good condition af- ter four score years buried that far below the surface, Meat conjecture was voiced as to the origin of these timbers and what they were placed there for. There is probably no per- son now living in Mitchell who can recall the time when those elm logs were placed there for the erection of some building. We know, however, that at one time a flour mill owned and operated by a family of the name of Holland stood where the present structure is being erected. This old mill was some years later destroyed by lire. Then a new mill was built and some fifty years ago was purch- ased from the Hollands by the late William Stuart, father of W. A. Stu- art, who continued to operate the plant as a flouring establishment. This building is still standing and used its a chopping mill by W. A. Stuart and his son, Lorraine. The Stuart building does uot stand on the old site, but is located some seventy feet to the north of the former mill, Numerous other old mementos are being unearthed in the form of pieces of iron, rods, a batch of old boots. a tea kettle and the skull of some ani- mal larger than our average cattle. And not the least interesting article discovered was a four -gallon oak keg —probably a hard liquor or lager barrel, It was in a firm condition and sound, A workman broke open the keg by smashing the oak staves with a pick. The odor coming from, its interior was none too appetising, the laborer asserts. The timbers appear to have been the walls of a water raceway or sluice. placed there to guide the water -wheel, by which it is presumed the mill was operated years ago, When the old Holland mill was destroyed, there appears to have been little effort made to clear away the ruins, but the debris just lay there to become buried with the pass- ing decades. But why buried to such a depth? Very few of our citizens will remember anything about the old mill. We doubt if there are any now living who know when the first Hol- land building was erected. Many thought that the old McLaren black- smith shop was the first building ever erected there, But that old landmark disappeared some weeks ago to make room for the new factory. The late Alexander Hill at ane time had a small machine shop or foundry there, too, But it has long since disappear- ed, Where the old Holland mill deriv- ed its water supply for power is slot definitely known. It was evidently se- cured by the construction of a long water race, having its commence- ment upstream from the old dant which was many years ago located near the northerly boundary limits of Mitchell.—Mitchell Advocate.

This information was given out over the week end by Hon. N. O. Hipet, provincial minister of. labor. Mr. Hipel has been in negotia- tion with the department of highways for some months in search of a solu- tion to the problem. Arrangements have been made with the provincial police to recognize these permits and they will be issued to those making application in writing to J. P. Bick- ell, registrar of motor vehicles. Far- mers making application must give a description of the tractor, such as the trade name and the type of tires and the same information with reference to the wagons or trailers to be used. —Tavistock Gazette.

JAMES GARDINER "I note that most farm papers and some farm organizations are becom- ing restless in a desire to be getting along witb some definite form of farm endeavour related to the war" said Hon. James G. Gardiner. Domin- ion Minister of Agriculture in a statement issued on October 28th Continuing he said. "I have already stated, and it is still true, that farm- ers can best serve in this war by continuing to do well what they have been doing, namely, producing vole eels, meat, dairy products, poultry products, fruit and wool and Ilex Libre in the best quality and greatest vol- ume possible. "I realize. however. that more dir- ection will be necessary as we pro- ceed. We have been attempting to co- ordinate British requirements with possible Canadian accomplishment be- fore becoming too specific in pro- nouncements other than warning far- mers to prepare to produce what they are already producing in greater volume without detracting from qual- ity. We have already consulted with the provinces and have been guaran- teed tlteh' undivided co-operation in carrying out any effort thought advis- able by the Dominion Government. We intend to utilize provincial staffs as well as farmer end processing or- ganizations so fat' as possible in cal'- rying'out any program decided upon.
