Some of the Early Settlers. While the coming of the railway in the early eighties was the signal for neonte to move in from the country districts and commence the ettHt of the village, the real beginning dates back to 1869 when a house was cten by b.

P. McDougall. During the winter of the same yZ Mr McDougall built a sawmill north of where the railroad now little later a store was erected and stocked by Peter McEwen. Mr. McEwen was a shrewd Scotsman and it wasn't long before he had a post oH.ce in his store, which was operated by his father, the ate John jcEwen.

Maxville first postmaster. Two years later one Hugh McEwen established a blacksmith shop. Then with a sawmill, a blacksmith fhon "I "tore" and a post off.ee, the place was more than on the way tfgPe'ttmg on the map Before these various enterprises started, however, the priifnt site of the town was a thickly wooded area. All the and east of what is now the towns principal street, was owned by John McVen. and the land on the west side was owned by Donald McDougall.

The Maxville station was not fully organized 88 2 when J. W. Weegar became the first station agent. In September, 1882. the first through express from Montreal to Ottawa pulled into Max-vule It wis a great dav for everv place along the line.

The first en-g ne used on th road, during construction, was called "The Glengarry-. The road at this time was owned by the Canada Atlantic Railway but gome fifteen years later, purchased by the Grand Trunk System. LI Around City Hall Forty Years Ago City Council Had Lively Discussion Over Proposal To Reduce Liquor As Licenses Issued in Ottawa As In Whole of Nova Scotia. Proportion According To Population Was 2.35 Per Thousand. Alderman Grant Talked About I'nlicensed "fJrogjer-ies" on Parliament Hill.

Question of Reduction Was Shelved. 4 THE question of reduction of liquor licenses came before the City Council on Feb. 4. 1895. by way of a communication from the Temper- tavern licenses numbered 72 and, hops The proportion according to population was 2 33 per IT was in the early eighties that two Ottawans, Jack Kerr and Haider Kirby, were watching a game of hockey played between the McGill and Quebec teams on the St.

Lawrence river in Montreal. They were members of a party from the Capital who had gone down to Montreal to attend one of the early winter carnivals. "I think we could beat those fellows," said one visitor as he turned to the other. "I think so too," returned his companion. That was the first suggestion of introducing organized hockey into Ottawa.

When these gentlemen returned to the city they set about forming the first Ottawa Hockey Club. Prior to that time hockey had been played by Ottawans on the Rideau canal. The players used sticks cut out of the trunks of small trees and the game resembled shinny more than hockey proper. Now, however, that they had determined to play the game as It should be played, they abandoned the improvised sticks and procured a dozen real ones from Quebec. First Rubber Puck.

The late Jack Kerr, who figured on the earliest teams, manufactured what is believed to have been the first rubber hockey puck ever used in Ottawa. The team's headquarters were in the old rink on Laurier avenue, just about where the Rox-borough apartments now stand. The boys bought their own sticks and equipment and paid their own expenses on out-of-town trips. They even paid for the coal to heat their dressing room. The team yias remarkably successful during the first year of the club's existence.

OECAIXING the days of "open" voting in the village of Metcalfe, Mr. James Conlin of 501 Laurier avenue west, former resident of Osgoode township, said election days were usually featured by fist fights outside the poll. Then, too, a man had to be very careful about the way he voted; he might incur the wrath of some creditor, who would "put the screws on him" if he voted the wrong way. "A warning look from a merchant you owed a sum of money to, was sufficient to make you think twice before announcing your choice," said Mr. Conlin.

Variously Named. Mr. Conlin also tells that in the days before Metcalfe was officially named as such, it was variously called Baker's Corners and Wallace's Corners. The reason for this was that at the village crossroads there were two stores, one kept by Adam J. Baker and the other by William nnd James Wallace.

William Street TODAY William street is largely a street of second hand dealers. But in the late seventies and early eighties this thoroughfare was one of some Importance. Among the biLsine.ss places in that period were a carriage factory operated by August Massicot, hotels kept by Mr. Bridget Farrell. Mrs.

C. Starmer, Joseph Gauthier and Theo. Brown; a drugstore kept by George Mortimer; a watchmaking shop conducted by James Sauve; two grocery stores; E. La verdure's plumbing shop and numerous other establishments. The hotels on William street were all substantial buildings.

This arrangement, however, did not prove very satisfactory, as the mail bag occasionally held $100 in currency, and the risk of it being Jost or stolen was rather considerable. There was, therefore, considerable agitation for a regular government office, and towards this end Mr. McLennan. bent all his influence, the result or which was the opening of the office referred to above.

Mr. John McEwen continued as postmaster until 1898. when Mr. Charles McNuughton took charge of the office.

C. (Weldy) Young, Reg. Bradley, Albert Morel and Bert Russell. Memorable Hockey Year. The year 1891 was a memorable hockey year in Ottawa.

In that year the red, white and black players won 13 out of 14 matches played. The season culminated wan two trips, one to Toronto to play for the championship of the Ontario Hockey Association and the other to Kingston to play Queen's. At Toronto, the Ottawa played two matches in one day, defeating the St. George's team in the afternoon by 4 to 0, and Osgoode Hall in the evening by 6 to 2. The Ottawa! players on that occasion were Goal, Morel; Grant; cover point, Weldy Young; forwards.

The Civil Servants Clannish At First But MisunderMandi Soon Wore Away And: Good Feeling Set In. IT seems clear from a good deaU that was written in the news papers of the late sixties that when the civil servants came here in and 1866 they were inclined to be "clannish," and, accustomed a they were to Quebec and Toronto associations, they found it hard tr accept their status as permanent citizens of Ottawa the new Capi tal. Putting it in plain language, they were inclined at first to want tr run things.

That there was a "misunderstanding" between the servlci and the citizens ot Ottawa is ev.l dent from the following newspaiin clipping of December 17, "Two series of private assemWH (social i have been proposed for tfcn winter, one to be called the Rldea Assembly Club, which is the OUaw representative of the StadncomJ Assemblies of Quebec.

"The members of the civil servin are. however, very anxious thai nothing should occur to mar ttv good understanding which is be ginning to exist between the citl zens and the civil service, and arj effort is being made to amalgamaM the two bodies, as is now the order of the day." he thought he was the best man lrJ ihe district.

The PRACTICALLY every district in the Ottawa Valley appears to have had its "haunted house at one time or another. According to James Conlin, of 501 Laurier avenue west, who hails from up Osgoode way, there was one such place near the village of Russell fifty years ago that had the good people of that district puzzled for a considerable length of time. It was an old log building on a vacant fifty-acre farm, which had been built by one Harrison, a pioneer back in the late thirties or early forties. Stones were told about strange noises emanating from this old building late at night and some of the more timid ones in the community were afraid to pass the place alone after dark. No one had dared venture within the place to investigate, until one night two young men from Russell village took shelter there from a blinding rainstorm.

While they were there they heard noises which sounded like someone pounding on wood, and the noises came from the direction of the roof. Next morning they decided to investigate, and what they found was a loose board in the gable end of the house hi'-tlng against a rafter. And thus ended the spooky career of another "haunted" house. first separate religious body to build within the confines of the village, which they did in 1878 The first Congiegational church in Glengarry was at St. Elmo, and is still standing.

I i M1 EMBER of the original N.W.M.P. troop formed at Toronto by Col. French in 1873 and believed to have been the oldest Mounted Police veteran living, ex-Sergeant Harry Keenan, of Carp, Huntley township died at his home in Prince Albert! on December 29th last. He waS. almost 88 years of age.

At 26 he joined Canada's famed police force and left for the West. Sergeant Keenan served on the prairies and in the Yukon during the gold rush of 1898. From his birthplace at Carp, the family later moved to Bowmanville, and it was from there that he went to Toronto when Col. French issued the tall for recruits for the Northwest Mounted Police. The recruits left Toronto on October 10, 1873, for Winnipeg.

They travelled over the lakes to Port Arthur and from there they marched over the Dawson route hich as opened up by General Wolsley. The company had marched over half the way when they were met by teams which had beeli sent from Winnipeg to meet them. Old Stone Fort. When they reached Winnipeg it was decided that they would camp in the old stone fort near the city. The company left Winnipeg early in May.

He remained at that post during the winter of 1874-75 and from there ne proceeded to Fort Qu'Appelle In (liaise of a detachment.
