Grain= and Miss Maud Willard kept their promises and made their voyages through the Niagara Falls' Gorge Saturday, but Mies Willard lost her life in doing it. It was just 3.40 o'clock when she was planed in the barrel, which belongs to Graham, and at 3.53 p. m. the barrel was in tow of a small boat an being pulledouth middleh d tote idd of the gP river,where it was set adrift. When the city look was striking 4 Mise Willard wee being rushed by the current under the lower bridges into theboiling rapids. At 4,04 o'clock she had euooeesfully pull- ed through the rapids and was floating morose the Whirlpool. Unlike other rapids navigators, elle had not the good forrune to be carried straightscreen the pool to the Canadian side, but the barrel got °sight between the up and down ourrents, and there it tossed and tumbled hour after hour until people grew weary of watching it. As night approached and the barrel took a different hat as it floated around it was the general opinion that the girl had be. Dome unconscious and that her body lying to one side caused the barrel to list. Be• fore this the barrel appeared to stand somewhat upright, as though the girl on the inside was keeping on her feet, but when the strange craft lay away over, so that both heads were nearly in the water, people became fearful for the result. Standing on the bare rooks on the American side of the whirlpool was Gene ham. With the entrance of the barrel to the pool he donned his life,preoerver and pat a life ring about his nook in order that hie head might be supported should titsku le es a w v oo him out. Ho' wasP ra• pared Eor the exit of the barrel from the groat river pocket, and ready to follow it toLewieton, but after it had been held in the pool nearly an hour be leaped into the water at 4 46 O'clock and yeas on hie way to Lewiston. His trip througli the waves wan uneventful. He pained safely through it portion of the Niagara River never before swam by man in thie 'way. Daring Mine Willard's trip througbt the rapids and Graham's trip from the whirl, pool to Lewiston a moving picture ma- obine was in operation on a trolley oar on the American nide, Graham did not swim through,, the Whirlpool Rapids B Where b l i r Webb est hie life, When Graham returned up the Gorge it was only to find that ,hie young ;girl companion was still helplessly floating on the boeom of the whirlpool. Never be- fore bad a rapids navigator been Held there so long. When Graham reached the rapide elevator be ascended to the top of the bank and hurried aorose the bridge tothe pooh ' Night was fast falling. Ia fact, when Graham reached the waters' edge et the whirlpool darkness had settled, But, watohtng the 'tumbliagbar- rel as' it 000asionally appeared in the gloom, he struck out in the water atter it,. but failed to capture it. Again it wen ewept out to the middle of the river. Hearing of the failure to get the barrel, Capt. Johnson, of thie pity, a well-known diver, went over to the pool with long ropes and life rings to 'aid in the rescue of Mies Willard. All bope of Mise Willard being alive was at last abandoned. Her body was brought up during the early hours Sun- day morning and taken to Undertaker Butler's rooms, where it lay until Monday morning, when it was taken over to her home at the Falls. Archie Don- ald, the young lad who was last week pre• seated with the Royal Canadian Humane Society's medal for saving the life of a companion ie the whirlpool about a month ago, swam out and secured the barrel and towed it ashore. The scene enaoted at the whirlpool between 2 and c" o'olook Sunday morning told the story of the life the unfortunate woman had led of late year, when an army of her friende oame over from the American side to bring the body up from the water's edge. They half parried, half dragged the body of the woman up by her feet and hair of the dead. Some were carrying burning em • bete and torobee to light their way, others were falling off the rugged paths in their drunken stupor es they climbed up the narrow paths. The worst kind of bias• phemy resounded through the glen at the pool, and, with the flying burning embers before the high wind, presented a weird sight, not unlike Dante's Inferno. Even the body of the woman did not escape the blasphemy end immoral lauguage poured forth during the scene that lasted some three hours. Why Canada Doesn't Grow. The following is taken from the Mon- treal Daily Star of Sept. 2nd To the Editor of the Star ; Dear Sir,—Under the above heading last Friday, your correspondent gives only the effect of our lack of growth. He does not give the real cause. He proves all right that our young men go to the States because they get better wages —practically they are foroed out. Your own comments say :—"The trouble is that under our excellent school system. - we have been turning out large num- bers of intelligent young men, more than a country of our size oan find remuner- ative employment for ; that this is gospel truth, eto." Yee, but let us And out the real cause of no work for our well drilled young men. The real gospel truth is, Canada as a whole has yet to learn to adopt a truer national spirit, no that the motto of every soul shall be to °onetime only that which we oan mennfeotura our- selves 1 Letthis patriotic spirit be faith- fully enacted in all Canada, and I will guarantee yon this terrible exodus will soon stop. Our reannfaoturingindustries would double—quadruple, instantly re- munerative employment would be instal- led for all oar young men at home, every various trade increased to a vigorous, healthy state ; the farmer's output would be in greater demand, yielding them also higher prices and better home markets. We must atop thinking of going to the States and England for our goods. We can produce them equally as welt here, and about as oheap—often cheaper. If prices are higher at first, home competi- tion soon levels this. A case in point, to ilinetrate ; A woollen manufacturer in my town, capable of turning out good goods wrote to the oity for orders. Whole. sale men replied his goods and prices unobjectionable, but could realize better profits on imported goods, because the public did not know of their cost values, as they did about his goods. He oould nlget rd re at rices below soot,and oo e P Y ruined him. The mill like many others is now idle. In my own case, I lately tendered for a piece of fire apparatus to Vanoonver-22,100. An American maker got the order at 23,100. I lately saw it, and found it defective of some vital ap• pliance we furnish, otherwise similar to ours. Come nearer home. I lately ten• dared for a large fire engine to your own oity—$6,000. An American maker got the order at 28,000 1 1 and his materials muoh inferior to what we offered and guaranteed. Go through all the various induetrien in Canada, the same disastrous .unfair competition holds ; it must be stop. ped if we wish to hold our yoaug men and give employment to all ; many works languishing, doing comparatively little because of the preferment to outside pro• duotion—not that they are better by any means, but a' ead lank of determination by all to only buy our own produobions is the only and sure mire to inorease our population. I tendered to supply a Western town in the States with tipper. atm,. Tho following day the papers took it up and said t "Pretty plucky of this Canuok. We can make those geode our- selves; we have no use fon him." This ie just the sentiment we are sadly in need of here. I have been forty years in Cana - dm, and have been figbtiog this trouble ever since, Don't think k I am looking for free advertising, as I am giving it up, exhausted, and have to tell our young tneolaaaioe to go bo the Btatee-.little work here, small wages, lots of work and' big wagee there—because that country makes every thing they oonsume, The United States' prosperity to -day le all dna from this vital cause, They have all their own markets; and outside es well. They are now invading Flngland, will injure it muoh, because England can't Sell in the United Staten, the tariff there prohibiting, Our Government gave the C. P. Be tremendous oonoessioue, If they had conditioned them with the demand that every mail, every oar, every locomotive should be made•in Canada, what an im. petue to all industries it would have in- angurkted. Because it bag not been so,. with similar other oondibione obtaining, is the cause of our population actually growing less than the natural inorease. The United States are laughing at our ,tfolly, • When President Cleveland was elected on the Demooratio platform, the Carnegie Company said to him ; "If you lower the tariff on sbeel our whole works °loges down. English competition too much for us at present." That was enough. He dared not touch it, though elected to do so 1 This, has proved their salvation, and the.true cane of their prosperity. Canada to -day ie languishing for just. enols men as Carnegie's eentimente then demanded, Sincerely yours, JOUR D. BONLW, Manutaotarer, Brussels, Ont, August 30, 1901, People We Know. 3. 0.
