C.P.R. Shawville Station becomes the Shawville Museum: Last Wednesday afternoon, Drummond Bros. of Almonte arrived in Shawville with eight men and an impressive array of heavy equipment for the purpose of moving the old CPR station from its long-standing site beside the railway tracks, down to the Shawville Fair Grounds, where it will take up residence as the Shawville Museum.

 With the float accurately placed underneath the building  so that the building was evenly balanced, the jacks carefully dropped their load so that the float took the full weight.

The first of a series of difficulties developed but by late afternoon, the Drummonds were making the turn down Lake Street from the railway right of way. The tractor safely negotiated the turn but when the float started into the turn, its downhill wheels sank into what turned out to be soft sand and continued to sink until the timbers holding the building were resting on the ground. 

Friday turned out to be a wet day, making traction difficult and the conditions generally slippery Nevertheless, by Friday evening the building was sitting in the fairgrounds.

Ottawa River Muskie:  Clarence Elliott of Ottawa caught a muskie in the Ottawa River at Norway Bay on Aug. 27. 

The big fish was 47 inches long, weighed 23 1/2 pounds and was caught while rolling with a muskie tandem and taking about 20 minutes to get into the boat.
