a Letter From Mr. Parkinson.
(Crowded out last week)
To the Editor of the Exeter Timer.
Dear Sir, --Believing that an account of
this Northern part of Ontario would be
intereating to some of your numerousread-
ers, I will with your permission give there
what information I can.
As you are aware I was in very poor
health in Exeter for some time, and hear,
ing so meals about Musttoka and Parry
Sound being a healthy part, 1 decided to
try it, and left Exeter first week is May.
I am at Trout Creels Station, 200 miles
north of Toronto, 25 toffee south of North
Bay and 75 or 80 mdse east of the town
of Parry Sound, This is a shall village
only located three years ago, since the
railroad was extended from Gravenhurst!
to North Bay on Lake Nipissiag there it
intersects with the main line of the C.P.R.
The country is new and rough but ra
settling up fast. Some of the land is very
poor, but there is plenty of good land in
the country and plenty to choose from.
It Is all free grant land. There are people
settled between this place and the town of
Parry Sound for 10 to 15 years, and be.
fore there were any roads opened, many
of whom are now in comfortable circum•
atanae% with over 100 acres of clearing,
fairly good buildings, dc. To the west of
this place it is, fairly well settle:] and roads
opened up. The Government has doue a!
grand work in opeeia out /leading toads
ind building bridges trough the matey.
All the settlers here aro people from the
ol;ler parts of Ontario who catue hero to
get cheap lands and make homes for
themselves and tatnilies. On the whole
they are a uood class of settlers, it i9 my
opinion that many who went to the
Northwest would have been better off if
they bad settled in northern Ontario. Of
course people coming hero from the settled
parts of Ontario would thick: this a hard
place to settle in, but runny of the first
settlers of Western Ontario had a' much
barrier time than any one has here. I
believe this will heti good, atack and dairy
country, abundanee of grass and plenty of
good spring water. Oats, peas, barley,
hay. potatoes and roots of all kinds 8o well
here. The crops look wall now ---as good
as ever I saw there is Western Ontario.
There ie not much wheat raised here,
though they say it does well ; but the
coaraer grains pay - better. This being a
great lumbering country such props find a
ready sale at high prices. The soil is
mostly of a sandy loam ; some parts are
clay but that is stoney. The pine isowned
by limit owners, but the settlers 'have a
right to all the pine they require fol hall.
tug or feneiug purposes and can uta . anti
dupes° of all the pine that is on t.e..,4n I
they clear. 'There are men living on rent.
ed farms in the older parts of Ontario who
work hard and it takes all they eau raise
to pay the rents ; if they were to come
hero and locate or buy a claim, in a very
few years they would have a comfortable
home of their own; there aro always people
ready to sell out their claims, wishing to
bettor themselves, Some of them who
Ionated for speculation offer to sell their
claim on 200 acres, with from 5 to 20 acres
cleared, log house, Ata, on or near a good
road, and from 5 to 10 tulles from the rail•
road, for from $100 to $200, so that a man
coining here with $300 to $500 could in a
very short time have a good farm, and no
rent or mortgages to pay, I have not seen
one person yet who is dissatisfied with the
country, but all speak well of it. They
buy what they can pay for, and what they
cannot pay for they do without. Styles
and fashions matter but little here—com-
fort comes first. To the east of this place
it is sparsely settled. I am told it is really
good land—mostly hard wood. Game is
plentiful all through this country—deer,
moose, bear, etc., and lots of fish. There
are a great many small lakes and spring
creeks that are alive with speckled trout,
so that settlers can get plenty of fresh
meat. ' There is no doubt about it but this
is a healthy country ; the people like it
—they are strong and hardy. As for my-
self I have not felt as well for two years,
and I believe this country is going to erre
me. I have a good trade here now and
it is getting better. The fall and winter
is the big trade is this country; so if I can
get my health and have a good trade too
I will he content to remain here for a few
years ; but hope to return to Exeter again
if my health gets all right. There is a
good opening here for a brick maker,
pottery, shoe maker, wagon maker. door
and sash factory, planing mill or furniture
business. Any person wanting any infor-
mation about this ; ountry I will be pleased
to give them what I can. In tbe fall or
next winter I may give you a further ac-
count of this part. Meantime I am

on Saturday evening by which James Mc-
Gee, son of Patrick McGee, of this plane,
narrowly escaped instant death. He was
on a load of hay, and while in the sot
of reaching for the lines, the horses moved,
throwing him over the front of the load, and
both wheels passed over his neck. Although
badly bruised and shaken up, hopes are en-
tertained of his speedy recovery.

The sauce In Exeter
Ingersoll Chronicle of last week relates
as follows : A few clays ago a tramp
agent was in town soliciting, orders 1,r
envelopes. His scheme was to get a
dozen or so to go in together, each of
whom was to have this card on the back
of the envelopes and receive 500 enve-
lopes for which they were taxed. 82 each
or .$4 per 1,000. By this transaction
those who took the bait were simply
beaten out of 81,50 slick and clean, as
they could procure at the Chronicle office
a thousand superior white envelopes
with their announcements uteatly print-
ed
rinted in the corner for only ,82,80. By
patronizing a home establishment they
would not only hare the advantage of
advertising their own bustness'only, but
:iso the satisfaction of 'kt•owing that the
work would be done In a responsible
office and in a workmanlike and satis-
factory manner. It is a yery short-
sighted policy to patronize every tramp
agent that comes along to the detriment
of the legitimate business men of the
town. One thing is sure, if the printers
weretobuy their dry -goods from Lon-
don or Woodstock or either , outside
places, it would be considered a terrible
thing, yet when a job of printing is re-
quired many of our merchants think
nothing of sending to outside place s
even though they pay higher and get an
inferior article. Consistency, thou art
a jewel:

wrong treatment left me with stiff joints
and ugly running sores on my limbs, and

save one and I can now walk with crutches.
