NEW MARKER PATTERN With a “battleship” gray back- ground and black letters and figures, the motor markers for 1929 are ex- pected to provide better visibility than the combination of yellow and black now in use. A series of tests insti- tuted by the Ontario department of‘ PAGE FOUR When Canadian National Railways introduced the single room sleeping cars on ‘ the eleven o'clock night trains between Montreal and TorOnto, it very soon became evident that this type of high-class service would be welcomed by the travelling public. As a result of the immediate popularity, it has already been found necessary to place these cars in service on other trains of the company, and since June 20. these Cars have been in service also on the ten o'clock night trains between these two cities. 1,. The single room sleeping car meets the demand of those who require a little additional comfort and privacy during their travels. Each car contains fourteen single bedrooms, and each room is completely fitted with toilet requisites. The cars, introduced in_ Canada for the first time by the Canadian National System, are designed espectally for night journeys, where the passenger boards the train between ten o'clock and midnight, and reaches his destination at an early hour next morning. As they are not intended for daytime travel, there is no additional seating accommodation in the bedrooms. In these rooms, which are delightfully decorated, the passenger finds a real bed awaiting, which is placed cross-wise of the can: instead of lengthwise as in the case of an ordinary sleeping-car berth. Each pair of rooms have a connecting door, so that couples or parties travelling together may use this door, which, however, has bolts on each side for use when the rooms are sold individually. The rooms are equipped with every device for the comfort and convenience of the assenger and are filling an important place in furnishing the traveller with add comfort and convenience during his journey. I ’ These cars are operated in addition to the club cars and other latest equip- ment which has become a recognized feature of the all-steel Canadian National Railways trains between the two cities.

Ill, Thornhill Phone 41 Bruce’s Mill Has Interesting History In Markham Township One of the historic landmarks of Markham Township and of York County is Bruce’s Mill. It is a thriv- ing hive of activity toâ€"day and yet its long record of service to this commun- ity for almost a century seems to ser- ve as a link between the present and the past. A trip through this mill and a backward glance at its 1history cannot but remind one of the pioneer days in this county and of the sturdy pioneers who first cleared the land, built for themselves crude dwellings, lived on the simplest of fare and with- ‘out the many luxuries which we enjoy ;to day and yet despite these hardships laid the firm and sure foundation for ‘the happy and prosperous community :whose many advantages and blessings {we enjoy to day. It is a far step from the modern flour mill which is operated to-day with marked success by Bruce Bros. to the primitive structure and crude con- trivances which Served to grind the wheat into flour back in the ea‘rly eighties. The present site of the mill in the northern part of Markham Township near Gormley is well known to practically all our readers. It was first purchased by Kasper Shirk in the year 1827 and previously had been College Reserve land. At that early date the settlement in this community was but about thirty years old. The first white man’s grave known in the community bears the date of 1799. Water power then as now was consid- ered a premium and shortly after the purchase Mr. Shirk commenced to harness the potential pOWer at this point. He first constructed a, saw mill which served to cut and prepare ‘the timber for the erection of the flour mill. The mill commenced opâ€" erations about 1829 and Mr, Shirk ‘continued in the business until 1837 when he rented it on a ten year lease to John Dixon, who in turn sub-leased it for five years about 1841 to Nichol- as Shepherd. In 1843 the farm prop- erty and mill were purchased, subject to the lease by John D. Roberts who took possession of the farm but did not get possession of the mill until 18~ 48. In the intervening years Robert Bruce, father of Messrs Alex D. Bruce and Robert Bruce the present propri- etors, became an apprentice at the mill and was able to take charge of the operations when the lease expired. A new mill ‘was built to replace the old one in 1859 but many of the old timbers of the original structure were DEALER THE LIBERAL. W HILL, ONTARIO GORMLEY used in building the store-room of the present mill. As would be expected and as many1 of the “old timers" may recall the equipment in the first flour mills was primitive and crude compared with the marvellous machinery equipment of the present day. Mill stones gath- ered from the surrounding fields of ‘Markham township were used to grind the precious wheat into the flour to provide that one essential of lifeâ€" bread. Our modren methods of cleanâ€" ing wheat were unknown. If the sea- son happened to be unfavorable and smut was plentiful the farmers hadito wash their wheat in the “hogshead” before taking it to the mill. The year 1889 was another landmark in the history of the mill. In that year the equipment was changed and the modern roller process introduced. In recent years additions have been made from time to time to keep pace with modern trend and development. The fine water wheel which still sup~ plies the power is of steel construction and is twelve and one half feet in dia- meter and eight feet across. Many of the deSCEndants of the first and original patrons of the primitive mill are customers to-day. Among them are such well-known and famili- at pioneer names as; Baker, Brilling- er, Burkholder, Heise, Nigh, Hoover, MacKinnon, Mustard, Steckley, Wide- man, and many others. Eric White and his team of stalwart ball tossers journeyed to Lansing on Saturday evening to replay a game which was protested in the first half of the Yonge Street Softball League. Both teams played good ball and it was hard to pick a star from either team. The game was full of thrills from start to finish; Elgin Mills scor- ed three runs in the first twa or three innings and it looked like a sure vic_. tory for the Elgin. but the Lansing girls turned the tables in their half of the fourth, when they put two more runs across the plate, which put the score 4 to 3 in their favor. By Lans- ing winning this game, gave them the first half of the schedule. The batt- eries for the game, Elgin Mills, Annie :ngker catching and Lillian Burns pitching, while May Kerr catching and ‘OIive the star pitcher were the bright lights for the Lansing girls, and by Ithe clever playing of this battery and [backed by their team-mates held the lElgin to three runs. Elgin'Mills and Thornhill started the second half of the League on Fri- day evening, When the girls from the North End defeated the Thornhill girls by a score of 19-8. .Lillian Burns pitched good ball for the winn- ers and was backed by her teamâ€"matâ€" es who played good ball, and also clouted the ball hard, and made their hits count. Jean McDonald started on the mound for the losers, but re- tired in the fourth innings and was re- placed by “Ede” Luesby. “Toots” Irish, Dorothy Hopper Hooper were the stars f LANSING lfiâ€"THORNHILL 8 Thornhill girls lost their second game on Tuesday evening when they were defeated by the Lansing aggreâ€" gation by a score of 16 to 8. The game was exciting and it looked as if the Thornhill girls were winners when they had a lead of 5 runs up until the fifth innings, when Lansing girls came from behind and pulled up in the lead by scoring seven runs which put them five runs in the lead and held it until the last innings. or any part thereof to any person of whose claim he shall not then have received notice.
