It is always onetomary every Spring for boys to piok up scrap iron se a meane of getting pocket money. Some of the young merchants became weary of this Blow protean and evolved the bright idea of loading up at a hardware mer Motet's soap heap and veiling .him hie own iron. This plan worked eunoesefully twice but the third time one of the clerks recognized a piece of lead pipe which bad already made its third j 100uey throngh the store to the scrap heap in he book yard It ie understood that no action will be taken btnt it would be well for merobante to make a careful inquiry into the source of the iron supply in future.

After making this portage passable we gathered our wood in the dusk for oar night are which composed some 8 cords, often 'et a cool or wet evening we have had a huge gee 00 a number of cords, the reflection 01 which could easily have been seen many miles away. We were all rather tired and sought our downy and virtuous agouties early but not without having a camp fire yarn or two. Our worthy geologist waa a inflater in this art and many were the interestingr'eminis, coneshe imparted to us of his past exper- iences in and about theAbitibbillegion which lay Last and North of the Kenogunti. These storied were enjoyed by no all and helped wonderfully to while away the evening. In our leisure hours and Sundays many were the iute'e,tmg and absorbing lecture talks that out• head surveyor, Mr. Davidson. would give us. On schen he was very well versed and in mathtunati0s he excelled. Mazy were the golden truths he propounded unto us. one question in particular gave ue food for deep reflection and one that I would like to have more suggestion upon. It la, "Is that space between the stars, we see in the heavens, infinite 'l " Will some of your worthy and learned readers g1V0 me 501110 in- tervention on this subject Y Many a night Mr. Davidson and I ley awake in our little tent discussing celestial phenomena, &o, un- til near morning. Re was truly a philoso- pher and his early demise is much to be re- gretted. We were ready for work the next morn- ing at seven when we readjusted the kinks in our peck straps, loaded up with a hundred of hour or pork and started on our trek of over 1� miles. The bushes were very wet indeed and ina very short time we were all quite wet but this was uothmgout of the ordinary, many an experience of wet bushes was ours previous to erosaing the 'height of land" eo we did not mind it. This trail was long and tedious. There were also quite a number of deep ravines encountered. Some of the hills climbed crossing this trail were over 400 feet high but of course they were not straight up, but we found them mat steep enough. Upon reaching the other end of trail we saw ahead of us some dirty looking water, long shallow rapids witha number of rocks just showing out of the water. We knew what that meant, via, more wading of loaded canoes and a thorough soaking through and through. However this did not unnerve us by any means. We were used to this now and laying down our first load started back cheerfully to peek over the residue of our supplies, retmuing we noticed the general conditions of the country. The timber was good as was also the land. Thee were some grand. groves of spruce tamarac and pine covering many hundred acres. We cached" some beans and flour at our camp on this Long Portage" and about 8.80 a. m. had everything across and continued down the river. After paddling about 15 minutes we all had to get out an ',Frog"-a term given to wading full canoes. The water was very swift and the rocks enumerable. We had some ver dangerous chutes and etretohes to get over and it was with great difficulty we managed and be it 1101 forgotten, that we had to micrometer the distance and take observations, &c. Thus we whiled away the morning; were inthe water all the rest of the day and as often over the waist as up to the knees. At 12.21 we found a fairly suitable place to dme and pulled into the shore and soon had a good cooking sire going and our worthy and always good natured. cook Sheldon soon had us a nice dinner ready, wet clothes seem- ednoretardment whatever. After doing ample justice to Sheldon's spread we had our pipe and about 1 p. in. were again in the river frogging. The thermometer had dropped considerable and it became quite cool which did not enhance the agreeability of frogging but it had. to be done and was without the slightest murmur. We had a very narrow escape about 4p. m. Ran amuck on a rock and it was ebony all we could do to ree0h the shore before the canoe fined with water. It was no easy job to lift over and pull around rocks our loaded canoe, doubly loaded with its extra cargo of water, and the swift cur. rent put us at a great disadvantage, but we succeeded after some heavy lifting, pulling tugging, &o. The other boys who were ahead wan micrometer discs came back and in a short time we had a cedar Patch on canoe and away we started again. We had also a number of short portagesover rocks, little falls, too high to even think of -running" had to be avoided by these portages, Home of whioh were very difficult mdeed and there were hundreds of huge boulders. It is al- most impossible for my poor pen to describe the treachery and "dirtiness' of this stretch of river miles and miles of shallow and swift rapids. then the river would narrow until it would be about a chain inwidth at which point there would be a terrific water -fall then it wooed widen again only to be filled with these huge boulders. Withal this stretch of river and this particular day, Sept. 7011 1900, was I believe the worst and most trying during our whole trip. The in, creasing coldness did not add any to our comfort either. In all we only made six miles and that took us until dark and when we had just landed a thunder .)term sudden- ly burst upon us and utter darkness soon en- velopedae. We found it no easy matter to find poles and pitch our tents in atter dark - nos and a terrific downpour of rain. We would have to wait for the vivid flashes of lightning to see what we were doing. However after great difficulty we managed to get our tents pitched. We also had to chop out a clearing in which to pitch our tents. The trials of this day tired us not a little. We found it hard to get wood but still we pulled through all 0. k. After getting the tire going the cook made us a hasty supper in the rain ror which we were an very thankful and after warming ourselves somewhat we piled into bed. Everything wee wet and therefore we could not don day clothes. Our blankets got quite a soaking too. in fact al- roost 1most everything in our outfit, save instru- ments, received quite a wetting. The storm continued most of the night. The next morning we wore all up at 0 o'clock none the worse for our recent exper' ieuoe. After breakfast our first duty was to repair oar canoes which took us some throe and a half hours. The canoes suffered con- siderably but we soon had then seaworthy and started out once more on one survey. Morris Council Meeting.
