INSPECTOR CALDBICS MAY LAND
PLIIM.—Last Saturday's Toronto
News says of a former well known
Pilorrisite :—There is a lively demand
for the new positions to be created in
connection with the new judicial dis-
trict of Temiskatniug and there is con-
siderable rivalry between the candi-
dates for the various appointments.
Among the positions to be filled is
that of Sheriff, for which there are
three applicants. The most promin-
ent of these is Inspector George
Caldbick, of Cobalt, who is in Toron-
to to -day conferring it is understood
with the authorities in Queen Park in
connection with the appointment.
Inspector Caldbick is a graduate of
the Toronto force going to Cobalt in
19055 from Toronto. At the time of
his arrival in the Silver City, he was
the only police officer North of North
Bay and during the early days of the
Cobalt camp kept order in a manner
which won him the esteem of every-
one in that section. Hie duties as In-
spector include all that territory
North of the Bay on the Temiskaming
and Northern Ontario Railway and
East and West on the Transcontinent-
al. Last year he had charge of the
entire Northern part of Ontario. If
he receives the appointment it is
rumored that Provincial Officer John
MacKay, who has served several years
under Inspector Oaldbick in Cobalt,
will be his successor as bead over the
large district which the Inspector now
superintends, Mr. McKay is a cap-
able officer and his appointment in the
event of a vacancy would be very
popular in New Ontario.

Gerry rendered highly appreciated
service while Mrs. Gerry was always
alert to do her share in the various
departments open to ladies.
Mr. Gerry is a Uoueervative in poli-
tics and has officially and otherwise
held a prominent place in the councils
of the party. In his earlier years his
name was frequently mentioned
as likely timber for parlia-
mentary honors. For overfifty
years he has been connected
with the Orange Order and was the
first Go, Master in North Huron, hold-
ing the office for 9 years and then re-
signing to make room for others. An
Orange procession minus B. Gerry
would be almost unthought of as he
has always been a hustler when King
William has any doings.
After the Iapse of 50 years Mr.
Gerry is actively engaged in church
and Sabbath School affairs and is a
generous contributor to the finances,
No one would think halted turned his
78t11 birthday last January to see him
busied in every day work, plying the
piscatorial art or showing the young
folk how to cut capers on the skating
rink or baseball field. A host of
friends both East and West congra-
tulated Ma'. and Mrs. Gerry on attain-
ing their fiftieth wedding anniversary
and wish them increasing happiness
as the evening of life draws on.
