To the Editor of the New Era.
On the 2nd July, the writer with other
friende left on a trip to the north shore of
Le Huron. We were to sail by Beatty
liue from Goderich, at 6 a. m., but it Wu
6 p. when the Steamer "Quebec" hove
in sight, therefore we had the pleasure of
e spending a day seeing the sights of the ea-
pital of Huron. I would advise anyone
going by that line, to wire to Sarnia the
day the boat leaves, lied tint the hour she
sails, after is you may intercept her at
any of the porta on Lake Huron, Went
ashore at Suuthamptou, a splendid harbor,
but no trade to speak of, and the village
was disappointing. The N. P. has not
done much for Southoruptou. The crops

roonsider Algoma every way to be prefer-
red. Large tracts of fertile mg!, without
atone, and a capability to grow wheat,
which owing to the absence of lime in the
soil ie a failure in many parte of Muakoka,
are powerful arguments in favor fo foriner
locality. The islands in Lake Huron are
also in some respect very eligible locations.
The frost of last fall which injured the crops
of this part and Manitoba ee severely, was
hardly felt on St, Joirepli's Island, and
the Only good wheat in this section last

so timely in Huron, and south to Lake
Erie, have not reached Bi uce and Algo-
ma, and in many parts not half a crop
will be secured. The sail upon the lake is
