[edit] Legislative Assemblies

Just so you know, I've now created a navbox template, {{PEI Assemblies}}, to replace the succession boxes on PEI General Assembly articles, as well as a distinct category, Category:Prince Edward Island General Assemblies, for them. The navbox is generally the standard for this kind of thing now, rather than succession boxes, although so far they only exist for PEI, Quebec and Alberta — I'll be creating the others as I have time. So if you do any more PEI assemblies, please use the new template and category instead of a succession box and Category:Politics of Prince Edward Island. Thanks.

[edit] William Cowan (politician)

Is there any chance of expansion or improvement for this article? I have to say, given that none of the other reeves has an article, his notability looks really borderline, but I wanted to ask you about the article before I send it to AfD or anything drastic. Choess 16:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll just leave it be, then — I've left plenty of stubby articles on politicians to fill out lists and so forth (albeit at the national level) and I also have a long backlog of intended projects. If you think you can improve it in the future, I'm not going to force your hand by sending it to AfD. Thanks for responding. Choess 14:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anson Dodge

A history of the Georgian Bay Lumber Company 1871-1942 (Anson Greene Phelps Dodge) "A Deo Victoria" by James T. Angus, an interesting read. Angus claims Dodge came to Canada by the invitation of Henry W. Sage (though Angus quoted incorrect informarion about Sage and McGraw). The author points out that Dodge purchased mills in Georgian Bay area including new mill constructed at Byng Inlet, (Ontario) with no mention of how Dodge came to select that area. Also, Angus fails to mention of Atherly mill mentioned in 1868 Orillia newspaper, or his purchase of timber berths in Oakley township. Angus does point out Dodge's involvement as a silent partner in Thomson and Millar's Longford Lumber Company at Longford Mills, Ontario, and the purchase of the Longford Township timber berths. One key point in James T. Angus' story, was: upon departure of Bell Ewart, Ontario (Sage's mill), Dodge travelled on a regular ferry from Orillia to Washago Mills.

James T. Angus also had some confusion with John Thomson of Longford Mills and Thompson Smith and Company, concerned with sawmilling at Bradford, Ontario, Mr. Smith's first name was Thompson, see Rama Timber Transport Company. Regarding the purchase of the Longford township timber, Randy Richmomd, author of "The Orillia Spirit" claims no one knew the value of the timber as much as John Thomson, but fails to mention how Thomson became so knowledgeable.

Brookes Wright Gossage was the surveyor that was in charge of the surveys for the Canadian Land and Emigration Company, including Longford township, of which Gossage surveyed himself. In 1856 Gossage (under the direction of Walter Shanly), had been involved with a survey (of timber) along the Magnetawan River from Byng Inlet to Opeongo Lake. Following the survey of Longford in 1864, Gossage purchased a small steamboat and placed it in service on Lake Couchiching, between Orillia and Washago and was the operator of this service when Anson Dodge first visited Sage's mill at Bell Ewart.

Walter Shanly's survey, including that information compiled by Mr. B. W. Gossage was published in the 1857 Journals of the Legislative Assembly of Canada, as appendix No. 5.

[edit] 46th New Brunswick Legislative Assembly

You list Carl Mooers here. In the 1967 election there were four members elected for York County who appear in the list for the 45th New Brunswick Legislative Assembly. However, in the list for the 46th Assembly three of the four elected remain (2-York, 2-Fredericton) but Weldon Lawrence's name was replaced by Carl Mooers. However, the Assembly's "Tribute" on Weldon Lawrence's death in 2000 says he served until 1970 (the year of the election). Could you recheck your source information for the 46th Assembly as I want to do a brief bio for Weldon Lawrence. Thank you. Jonathan Logan (talk)
