Islanders I Have Mel

r ‘Islander Abroad’

WINNIPEG, Man.—One day, I few‘ weeks ago. while visiting the Bell home on Chestnut St. making enquiries about former Islanders. the late R. D. Bell. who knew Is- landers and'1slanders with their background and history. gave me the names. addresses, (and synop- sis ottheir Winnipeg life) of many. requesting me to pay s. visit to I friend of his. David L, Melltsh, acc- ing chairman of the Municipal and Public Utility Board, whose at- flce is in the Law Courts Bulld- ing, Winnipeg. ‘

Today. after two unsuccessful st- tempts to see hlrn at his office, on other days-having no appoint- ment and Mr. Mellish being ex- ceedingly busy —- I had a most ‘n- terestlng afternoon In conversation —"The Island and Islanders" be~ lnir the subject. -

Mr. Melltsh. who is the son of the late John T. Melltsh. harness maker, and his wife, the late Mar- garet. Johnston of Montague. P11. I.. has two sisters. Mrs. (Dix) Thornton of Vancouver. B. C.. and Mrs. Minnie MacDonald of Morita- gue. P. E. 1., and four, brothers William of Montague, P. E. I.. Wellington M, manager of the Ca- nadian Bank of Commerce in Surn- mersidc, P. E. 1.: Lorne. Secretary- manager of the Builders’ Exchange in Edmonton. Alberta: Barclay J., manager oi the Canadian Bank of Commerce tn Vancouver. B. C.

Mr. Mellish revisited his home a few years ago. and tn visiting with his mother. in Cumberland Hill. he went. into an old cemetery long since closed to burials, art-i under his mothers direction, visit- ed the grave of his maternal great.- grandfather. William Johnston. 'I‘o his surprise and interest he read on the tombstone the following: “Sacred to the memory of William Johnston died at Cumberland Hill. 1m 55. Juli! l6. 1856. age 78, A na- tive of R/ossshlre, Scotland, and a sergeant, 4r! Royal Highlanders.

He assisted to carry sir John Moore off the field of Corunnzi. also to bury him at dead oi‘ night -_‘The sods with their bayunets turning!"

The battle of Corunna fought on Jan. l4. 1809. Beside the grave of William Johnston is the grave of a son. John Moore Johnston, and the tombstone states. "Had a son John Moore Johnston ~also buried hcrc. I O O

An uncle of Mr. Mcllish, Well- lnggn H. Johnston of Montague P. E. I.. has in his possession I letter ivritten by the Duke of Well- ington to his grandfather‘ Wm. Johnston, in which the Duke ques- Lions Mr. Johnston's decision lfl taking up the land granted hiiii in Cumberland Hill for his .war services, which meant his depart tire front the Old Land and of necessity from the army, in which he acquitted himself so nobly. Be- sides the letter, Mr. Johnston has his grandfather's medals, nnd a sword which was used in the

battle of Corunna. .

The name Wellington has gone through the Johnston families 1.1 memory of their ancestors coniiec- lion with the Duke.

John D. MacDoniild, son oi M:s, Minnie MacDonald oi Montague. i.'. E. 1., nephew of Mr. Mellish, who spent some time in the navy during the wnr, came to Winnipeg in 194d. and ts employed with the Engin- eering Branch of Good ltoads Dept.

Enroute to visit Mr. Melllsh t saw some effects of the flood wot- ers of the Red Raver. Many were pumping water out of their base- ments, which got into the base- ments by the backing up of the sowcr. Many homes in some ecc- tions are beyond being so relieved. as tho water has risen to overflow. and the houses are surrounded nnd people are living on the ‘sec nnd floor or have evacuated-mali- lng their way by boat.

Flood waters have crept within three biooh of Portage and Main —@IlQ of the Important street rain way Junctions. and turned the.’ part. of the downtown street. is the warehouse district Into e small lake. At tho- foot. of Notro Dams not. the water is two feet.

The plan covers three main ob- jectives according to N. T. Avsrd, general manager of the corporat- ion. '

I. An addition to the generating plant at Mlccon involving one complete uni; which will more than double the csipacity of the present plant and brinz the total generating capacity to over 40.000 horse power.

Prknarlly this will serve as o.- stastdby unit for the Cans Electric company making ova - able power from the Plctou County Power Board system in can on emergency requirement by csnsdo. Electric Com-pony.

However, this line will also serve as an emergency power supply for the Pictou County Power Board system should such a situation arise.

It is the mutual advantage re- siding tn a grid system, such as the one envisioned here, which mnkcs it of particular value. It provides standby service for both systems at less cost than the same standby service could» be provided by t-he

The Truro transmission line is nlmost completed and it ls expect- cd that. it will be ready for service ivithln four ‘weeks.

The rural extension program i188 in date brought service to the fol- lowing areas:

‘And extensions in the Maui-an Nrsppsm area through bower Cove to ‘River Herbert east and River Hebert west‘, and in the Brookdale and Feniwick areas. a

A number of offshoots were also built.

A start has been made on an extension from Northport to Tid- nish, which will institute service to a large number of summer colonies along the Northumhcrland Strait shore from Tidnish to Port Howe.

A line to serve the Barronsfirlrl and Minudie districts is nc-w Itn er construction. X
