These articles were very well writ- ten .by Mr. R, F, Easson; who was formerly Chief. Operator in.,the Tor- onto Office of the then Montreal Tel- egraph Company, • afterwards known as the Great Northwestern and now as the C. N. Telegraphs. Mr. Eason, afterwards became the Efficient Su- perintendent of the Provincial Press Service and was well and favorably, known to every newspaper publisher in Canada, In referring to the early days' of Telegraph, Mr, Easson recalls his association .with a former well known and wealthy resident of Wingham as well as a talented and prominent wri- ter and journalist, the late Mr. Thom- as Holmes, who, as Mr. Easson sta- tes was tates.was associated with the late Hugh Scobie as Editorial Writer and Tele- graph Editor on the famous ."Old Colonist" the leading Daily Newspa- per of .Toronto at that time and whi- ch preceded the present morning pa- per The Globe and Mail and Empire. Also associated with Mr. Holmes and; Mr. Easson were the late • Henry, O'Brien and Sir Sandford Fleming, well known and still well remember ed and frequently referred in Journal- istic Circles. Mr. Easson who was a first class Telegrapher and an . energetic Super- intendent of the Press Service, was always genial and popular with . the newspaper fraternity, with whom he was so closely associated. He has now retired to a well earned sunset of life in the City of Toronto: The night manager and assistant Superintendent ..of the Press Service was Mr. Jaynes L. Curry -now also retired, but rho in his day was one of the finest operators who ever handled a "Key" and his "sine" of "Cy" was a signal of first class work on every Canadian. Telegraphic Circuit and be- fore the machne male telegrams came in, "Cys" handwriting was the very finest specimen of :spencerian copper- plate, Mr. Curry was e: • cousin of Mr. Thomas. Holmes, whose wife was Mrs. Eliza Lane Holmes, a daughter of the irate , William Lane Esq. of Thorndall and two of their sons, also became expert telegfareb rs, qnt of them being well versed in .the 3 greet Systems, known ' aS the American Morse, the Reuter and the Cdnthien- tal and who in connection with. the Press Service travelled all over the world and afterwards entered the leg- al egal profession. Another" son Dr. Wil- iam Lane Holmes, M. D., ,a graduate of Trinity College, Toronto and Pell- vue, New York is . now practising in Victoria, B. C. ;A younger son of Mr. Thomas- Holmes, the late John. Gamaer Holmes, M. A., L. L D., a graduate of the University .of Toron- to, who received his early education'. Wingham, Clinton an St. Mary's Collegate; afterwards residing in Tor- onto, became one of the most prbm- inent and successful Lawyer.ssin Can- ada, his nephew and namesake is now a memberof the Legal Profession in Toronto. A surviving daughter of Mr.. Thomas Holmes is Mrs. Dr. M. L. Kinsman of Sarnia, Ont. SALEM The annual meeting of Salem Ladies Aid was held the latter part rs'i; .Mar- ch, at Salem Church.

The distinguished general was re- ceived enthusiastically in every city throughout his tour of the Dominion. He delivered addresses showing the importance of the capture of Pales- tine to the. Allies in the Great War. V. C. Vickers, managing director of Messrs. Vickers Ltd., London, England, who arrived in Canada re- eently on board the Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Canada,". reported that the shipbuilding industry both in • China and Japan was in a healthier condition than for many years past, with shipbuilders favor- ing the motor ship.

A. Hatton, general superintendent of 01 transportation f r the Canadian Pacific Railway, has announced the intention of the company to raise the embargo against the loading of grain to Fort William and Port Arthur and the milling coiniianiei and elevators at Winnipeg, This is due to the anticipation of the open- ing of navigation on the Great Lakes about April 20. The total yield of wheat in Canada for 1925, as finally estimated by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, is 416,849,700 bushels, the second largest on record, having been ex- ceeded only by the 1923 crop. The value of this crop is estimated at $465,116,200, or over $53 per capita of Canadian population. The aver- age wheat yield was 19.2 bushels per acre. A general survey of reports by the Canadian Pacific Railway on agricultural conditions throughout the West shows that farmers are pleased with present conditions and speak optimistically on the season's outlook. Sufficient moisture ,for spring crops seems to be assured. Livestock 'wintered well. Adequate, supplies of seed are available and no shortage of labor is expected. A special C. P. R. train carrying 438 settlers from the S.S. "Mont - calm" reached Winnipeg recently. Among the passengers were 'thirty- one British families who came under the 3,000 family settlement scheme. There was one party of 10 German- speaking Catholics, and the Salva- tion Army, under Captain Sharp, brought out a party oftwenty young lads going to British Columbia. It has been announced by the passenger department of the C. P. R. at Winnipeg that negotiations have been complete with the Central Can- ada Air Lines Limited, for an air serviee between 'K•enora b and the new gold fields at Long Lake and Red Lake. 'A regular daily service is to be inaugurated about May 24 in con-. nection with the C.P.R. from Kenorce and during summer services will, be run between lienora'and Duluth, The recent •fire at the Banff Springs Hotel, which resulted in the destruetion of the north wing with about seventy rooms, . will have little effect on the coming tourist season.

While Mildmay was no worse in that respect than other places then, we are using it as the horrible example on this occasion because one of their number was hailed by License Inspec- tor Widmeyer into a Walkerton court this week for doing such a rare act' 'of transgression as to appear drunk in • a public place in that village.

Died In Eketer 5 One. of Exeter's grand old men passed away suddenly on Saturday morning in his goth year, never hav- ing known a day's sickness in his life. Richard Gidley, for almost seventy- five years a, resident of Exeter, arose as usual and ate a hearty breakfast and before ten o'clock he had passed away. He died as he had wished to die, often having expressed the hope that he would be taken without sick- ness or without being a care to any- one. He possessed all his faculties to the last and could even read and wri- te without glasses. He was a fre- quent visitor down town for the mail and transacted his own business. He was always bright and cheerful and had the happy faculty of looking on the bright side. Besides enjoying -un- usual good health Mr. Gidley has tra- velled to the Pacific coast and has been to California and other parts and has never met with an accident. He was born0'in London, Eng.,on August 17th., 1835. In May, 5844, he cane to Canada with his parents on a sailing BLUEVALE vessel taking several weeks to cross the ocean.

How Times Have Changed The imposing of a fine of $10 and costs in the Walkerton police court on Thursday last on a man discover- ed drunk on the streets of Mildmay recalls how times have changed With- in the past t 1' Years.
