A fairly steady job is un- skilled labor of sums kind ii all they can sever hope to attain. What. Is true of that tittle town is true of al- most every other place in the Pro- vince. It is a state of affairs that e-ertaluly does not tend to .produce a high cities of eitizenehip or a pros- lerous, industrious country. Perhaps some• of the trouble is due to faller tnnthtrhe which piddle upiu- ien hes set up. There has been a tendency in late years to place a rather low estimate upon the calling that requires a enfold mind and a good strong. healthy beady. although thew are the flue•at girt+, which Pro- vidence bestows upon humanity.

Mr. Taylor, one of the commissioners, seek'. to defend the leasing of the present ((lite by pointing to the iu- crease In the amount of Hydro current used in Goderich. "To obtain an eco- nomic result from the system ■ greater load was necessary. Anyone familiar with the result will readily agree that the lo.ni office and store bare been fairly eucct'ssful.

The centenary df this event is being marked this Doming August by a celebration which Is expected to be national in character. The Dominion Government has al- ready intimated 14* intention. not Only of taking part, lout of stgnalis- ing the oocaston by extension of its works for the beautification of the etlottal.

"During the war of 1112-16," saps Basnnett P. Rill, la a brief history eM the eoastruotien d e the Rideau ('anal, "the British au- thorities esp.rienoed much difficulty in attempting the defence of the western part of the province. This was owing to the difficulties of transporting men and supplies from Montreal to Kingston, because of the rapids on the SL Lawrence River. They were also faced with the dan- ger of a U. 8. army blocking pro- gress up the elver by seising aome ot the islands near Kingston. The colt of transport from Montreal to Kingston was also excessive. being tiny -four shillings per cwt. • This was the problem wblcb Col. By came out to Canada to mole.. He had spent nine years in obis coun- try atter 1802, when he bad been en- trusted with the construction of the Martell(' towers at Quebec and the rebuilding of the Citadel. and be had also superintended the construc- tion of the Cedars Canal near Mont- real. The task of building the canal to connect the 8t. Iawrence and the Ottawa Riven, 128 miles in length, through uninhabited (Pantry, was glganUc at that stage of the de- velopment of the country, and Its wtecessful completion stamps Its builder u an engineer of hogs rank. The coming of railways has super- seded it and rendered It practically useless as a carrier of traffic; but it rendered valuable service in earlier days for the settI,•ment of the Pro- vince of Ontario, both east and west Three years aft'r Bytown became Ottawa. it was chosen u the capital of the old Province of Canada. The centenary celebration this summer will last two weeks, from August 16 to 28 The first week - Aligned 18 to 21- will be devoted particularly to the centenary pro" gram, which will taclode an hi♦ tnrt.al pageant illustrating outstand- ing periods and ,•vetOta In the his- tory of the capital.
