Huron. County has always been
known as the borne of goo1 crops, but
it is doubtful, if she Ilea ever produeed

We cannot understand anyone having
any desire to live outside of good old
Huron.
WHAT PICNIC ORATORS
OVERLOOK.
Ono thing that Tura leaders seem to
overlook ix . discussing the trek to the
cities, is the depopulation or killing */
the business of the smell towns. For
that condition the blame attaches to a
laxge extent to rural residents. They
allowed the pig mail order concerns
to put many merchants in the small
towns Out Ot busionas, and unless bus-
iness can receive, the small town is for-
ever a thing of the past. Every small
town, and country store. was a com-
munity centre where, the big affairs
of the elation. were discussed, intelli-
gently every slight, and eommunity
leaders have not found a substitute,
for it,
Maurice Hervey got complete matric-
ulation i,. bis recent exams., and not
Partial ;as gnawed. in. the report as
Published some little time ago. We
congratulate hine on his success.
Rev. brt A. B. Melbrum of 'Cleve-
land ,Ohio, will occupy the pulpit of
-Thames Road Presbyterian Church on
Sunday next. The Dr. is an Us -
borne Old Boy and, is now one of
America's most able and eloquent
peeachers, Doubtless many of his old
friends will avail themselves the. Priv-
ilege of hearing the Dr. on. Sunday.

Port Arthur is a ciiiy of pretty fair
proportions and boasts of the larg-
est consolidated grain elevator in the
world, that .of the :Canadian Northern
Systems, with a capacity of 9,500,000
bushels. The city baa also the most
moder,a coal docks on the Canadian
Great Likes. These docks .., can die -
charge at the rate tof 1000 tons an
hour and load considerably faster.
We leave the steamer here for Kak-
bea•a Falls by speciel dra.int These
falls are said to be higher than Niag-
ara Falls. One p1 the unusual sights
at the Falls is the color of the water
and spray. The river runs through
iron ore deposits and as a conse-
quence the water is tinted adeep am-
ber. While we are at the Falls the
ship moves to Fort William, aheee
miles across the harbor, discharging
and loading freight at various docks.
Our first impressions of Fort Wil-
liam are anything but favorable; view-
ed from the boat, or as we enter the
eity, and the most. of us would term
it "shacktowite” This part of the
city is occupied by foreign element
and is very unkempt and no way at-
tractive. These impressions, however,
tare, dispelled after wetpenetrate the
city proper, and on the contrary we
find it possesses many attractive fea-
tures and advantages., It is almost as

Late, in the afternoon, we board the

to Teuluth, arriving these about 9.30
a. m. We make the city of Duluth
our home for the ,next few days. It
is rightly called, "The ,Naples of the
North." It is pieuate,d otl *be side of
a 600 -.foot hill and overlooks a 49-
41 mile. water front. Aside from the im-
mensity of Duluth's business and in-
dustrial activities eye thing that wjll
linger permanently en your-mentory of
Duluth, is the scenee beaturty. It has
five large and 29 small parks and pub-
lic playgrounds. It has also develop-
ed a system of boulevards that is
equal to anythhsg in America, or
abroad. -
While in Duluth we met our old
friend, Mr. Ent H. Gielley, an Exeter
Old Boy, who has been a resident of
that city for many yeaxs, and we 'spent
a few- hours very pleasantly, together.
