COSTISR, THE PROMOTER.
The designer o: this Ontario castle in
Spain is one Monsieur N. M. Consit,e.
This Monsieur Contioe, who is still a
nompararively young man, was born of
Frsaah.Caoadian parents within about a
quarter of a mile of the present city of
St. Joseph, thee known, and still appear
ing on the maps, as Johnson's 1ltile. At
that time the place consisted of a pods
tffiseand a saw mill. Both ars still
there. After he grew up to young man•
bead pontine became for a time a cattle
d>aler ou a smut: spate, and ae such did
business with a neighboring well-to•do
Sootah harmer named James Campbell.
Some time afterwards Contioe moved to
larger spheres or enterprise. Rumor
says the interested oapitaliate in another
part of the country iu a scheme fur
making cement, and the fiaaneial returns
tohimeelf were good. Six of seven yearn
ago he returned to his native place with
coueiderably larger ideas of money and
how it was to be made. He 000asived
the idea of tontine, Jeboaon'a Mills into
a fivnrishing city, with factories. street

It hats no natural harbor of any kind, it

Cantina was a good talker and had
unlimited optimism in projecting hie
scheme. He approached Campbell with
his project, told l,im of fortunes to be
made by the building Iota to be sold, eto.
end, strange to say, tithe hard headed old
Switchman fell in with the scheme. He
had confidence in Coutine and advanced

A civil engiuesr and arobiteet was
engaged. The oily was surveyed into
building Iota, factories and residences
and a patios hotel were built (on paper)
and everything way completed but the
actual building, A street oar line was
even pictured on the plan aud a our
running poet the hotel entrance.
The erection of the hotel aud of a
faotnry where hair anciers it similarly

begun, Things want ahead with a green

had already seek thaaeanda in the

amazing folly displayed in paying neelese
traueportation. The hotel is fitted with
