Among •his early Successes was the picture "Dreaming," in 1889, which went to the Royal Canadian Academy and was,. purchased by the National Gallery. `'Logging," a Canadian scene. painted in Paris from memory, also was exhibited at the Royal Canadian Academy. Other important pictures that followed were "Mortgaging the Homestead," the diploma picture of the National Gallery of 1890; "Berry Pickers," ekhibited at the Salon and purchased by the Ontario Government; "Forbidden Fruit," a hayloft scene, and "The Story," all typical of his pictur- izatkons of farm life: Reid scored an even bigger success in 1893 with "The Foreclosure of the Mortgage,." exhibited in the leading Canadian and United States centres, winning the medal at the; Chicago World's.

Yet such is the rapid march of English industry and perseverance under the guidance of the Canada ,Company that several towns have been laid out' and already built to an extent presenting an appearance of importance auguring a rapid march to wealth, while it opens an improved market fon; the manufac- 'tiires of the parent country." The editor evidently held the mer- cantile theory of colonization of the time which held that colonies should supply the raw materials and markets necessary" for the industry of the mother country., . He went on: "The town of Goderich on the shores of Lake Huron, having within five years risen to a degree of prosperity that;when its situation at .the very limits of the Huron Tract is considered, is almost beyond belief. Already there- are upwards of one hundred houses ifieluding six general stores and two inns, finished and fully equipped. Many others are in pro- gress of erection. A handsome steam- boat has been launched, 'and the con- tractor is under bond that slie will be ready to make her first trip early in July. During the past week the 'harbor has presented a businesslike appear- ance that augurs well in her future commercial prosperity.
