A hasty analysis of the 900 New
fork excursionists who reached
lontreal on a recent week-end ex-
urion by Canadian National special
rain, gives some indication.
Youth predominated and most of
he excursionists were women and
iris. They carried all sorts of
aggage, from de luxe valises to
ocket-size parcels and some had no
uggage at all. One man, Simon
herman, aged 82, heavily bearded
ailor, 403 Howard Avenue, Brook-
pn, carried with him his food and
aid he would rest id the nearest
ark before setting out to see the
ity. Two girls checked their win-
er coats when they discovered that
tontreal was not an Arctic centre,
ut no sign of skiis, snowshoes, or
kates could be found.
A rough survey revealed that the
lajority of these New Yorkers had
ever been to Canada before; that
bout half of them had friends and
elatives here and that about 10 per
ent. of them would have gone as
ladly to any other interesting place
rat offered as favorable a travel
ate. The crowd of greeters that
lied the station was composed of
ciends, relatives and idle specta- „
irs.

FIRE DESTROYS HOUSE
Believed to have been caused by
an overturned coal oil stove, fire re
cently destroyed the home of Bur
dock Ross, Bayfield, together with
practically all its contents. 'The Joss
is estimated at $6,000.00, partly
covered by insurance,
The frame structure, despite the
lack of wind, was an easy prey to
the flames. The blaze started at
1,3'0 p.m, when Mrs. Ross left an oil
stove burning in the kitchen ’ and
went into an adjoining room to chat
with her grandson, William Ross, of
Minneapolis, who is visiting at her
home. .
The two heard something fall in
the kitchen and upon investigating
were met at the kitchen door with
a rush -of smoke and flames. They
called for help and with the aid of
neighbors were able to rescue some
of the furniture from the downstair
rooms.
Clayton Weston, one of the neigh-’
bors suffered a badly cut foot when
he kicked in one of the windows in
an attempt to carry out some of the
furniture.
POSTAGE STAMPS
From a letter in the New York
Times
It was not so very long ago when
we had to pay ,100 cents for sending-
a letter, and which no guarantee of
delivery nor as to the time it would
take in transportation. In England’
the coht of a “two-sheet” letter was
45 cents.
In 1810, Rowland Hill, an English,
schoolmaster, and James Chalmers '
startled all England ’and caused
everywhere laughter and derision
by proclaiming that they had a sys-
terii whereby letters ^ould be sent
anywhere witliin England for ztwo
cents. Mr. Hill finally got a hear
ing before parliament, an-d proved
by figures-that the present cost or
45 cents a letter could be reduced
by a “pasted label” to two cents for
a two-sheet letter from London to
Edinburgh.
On May, 6, 1840, the first post
age stamp was issued in England. .
Within two years)—panic years In.
England~the postal business . had -
trebled. Rowland Hill, the origin- .
ator of the • postage stamp, was
knighted and received from the-
people’a gift of $25,000.
In America the adhesive stamp
did not come into use until 1847—
seyen years after England. The-
“post-mark” in New York had been
a stamped impression. In 1851 the
letter rate was lowered to three-
cents. In 1883 it was again lower
ed to two cents. During the World.
War it was raised to three cents.
