To tee Bditar of Tim Poo Dien Ste,—Ta response to your invi- tation, giVen t0 me on IOa'ing Brueeele, will try and give a brief deeariptlon of our work stud the country through whish we are operating. I teat tbie account 0f a trip through what is popularly known 40 "NOW Ontario" or at Iettet a part of it, may be of interest to at least deme of yourreaders. We left Toronto on the 4th of Jane, taking the G. T. R. to North Bay and the 0, P, 15, fromthere to Miaeanabie. This was as far as we oould go by railroad. I need sot dwell on any of the pointe of iatereat on our journey over the railroad es Most of the minters of TEE Par have made thie trip in going to oar Canadian Northwest. Miaeanabie is a small village on the 0. P, R. about 250 miles Weet of North Bay. Like most of the other small stations along the 0. P. R. its chief place of busk nue is the 8udsoo Bay Store. The store here is managed by a Mr. King, who earned to be a moat obliging individual and meld speak the Indian language quite fluently. Their trade is almost al- together with the Indians in the village and the snreonding wonky. The Hudson Bay people ?apply the Indiana with clothing,. flour, pork, beano, tea and tobaoeo, and in return buy all the furs the Iudiane manage to get in their hunt- ing expeditions. Besidee the Hudson Bay store and the railway station, there is a Small boarding bonne and another very small store wbioh includes the postoffioe. These with the tents of a number of Indian families make up the village of Miaeanabie. Dog Lake passes by Aliso.- noble on the Southeast and is in the direot oaaoe route to James Bay. Dog Lake is about 25 miles long and from 10 rode to 2 miles wide. This description of Missanabie would probably apply to a good many other small villages on the 0. P. R. through this part of the country. Mr. Abrey, Civil Engineer, of Toronto Junction, has two surveying parties opsretiug to the South and West of Miaeanabie, one under the management of his brother-in-law, 11, Patten, and the other .party under the direction of his sou, G. S. Abray, while Mr. Abrey himse,f has another party working in Manitoba. I am connected with Mr. Patten's party. We began our work on Thursday, June 5th by parobasing sappliee from the Hudson Bay store and sending them down the lake in canoes, managed by Indians. In the afternoon after the supplies had been sent off, I spent the most of the time in learning to manage a canoe on Dog Lake. Next day we went by oanoe down the lake about 12 miles to oamp where our supplies had been taken. A good alma will travel about 4 milee an hour. It rained on ne most of the trip. We reaohed oamp in the evening and put in the night under canvas. It was a very wet night and that was my first experience of oamp life. Our male were cooked by an Indian. This was where the younger Mr. Abrey's party began their actual work. The next day was fine and clear and I returned in a canoe, with an old Indian as my oompeo• ion, to Miaeanabie to meet Mr. Patten and his party who had arrived in the forenoon. Mr. Patten and most of his party came from Manitoulin Island. The party ooneists of Mr. Patten, two Chinamen, a timber expert, it 000k and a number of exertion and paokmen. We are working for the Olergue Syndicate, surveying into townships the land granted to them by the Ontario Government, The outline of eaoh township is Surveyed then Mr. Otergue can make a selection of any part of the country but can only get every alternate township. The great difficulty in oonneotion with thawork is to have supplies brought along. These are taken as far as possible by canoe from headquarters and then they have to be oarried by the paokmen over the trail whiob has been at oat by the axemen. This mean very heavy work climbing almost perpendionlar rooks in some places or crawling over innumerable windfalls in others. This work is =ably ..,dons by Indians. The pack is fastened .An by a paok etrsp wbioh fa seared to the pack and then passes over the head. It le nob an a0oommon thing for an Indian to carry 150 Ibe. in this way for miles through the bash. I saw on Indian oarry 500 !be. of flour from Missanabie ebation down to the lake s distance of about 20 rode. Although the paokmen carry moat of the bundles every person has to may paok of from 60 to 100 lbs. when oamp ie moved, wbioh is nearly every day, except Sunday. I have an aaeistant to help me in measnriog the line. In addition to this my work inolndee the taking of field notes and oarving the number of the townships and ranges on the mile poets. The taking of the field notes means a good deal of work. It inolodes noting the measure. mama, the kinds of timber, the quality of the soil and rook and all streams and lakes which the line comes in oontaot with. A copy of the field notes has to be made out and seat to Mr. Olergue, while Mr. Abray keeps the original from whiob be plots the survey. There are a great number of lakes and streams in this country. Almost every day we have to creed s lake and some- times quite wide rivers, We obrisbened one river which we rafted our supplies over, Teakhnmae (Tea .e ma) river after an Indian in onr party. Another we promptly called Settle river, as our tea. kettle played out, when we were camped beside it. The timber here is nearly altogether eproao, poplar, birch, balsam and Jack pine. The greater part of it bas been destroyed by fire and will be of no value until the young growth hag some to maturity which takes about 80 or 40 years, Any one who goes through this country will see the wisdom of the Ontario Government in selling the timber rather than allowing it to be wasted by being burned. There is absolutely no agricultural soil here. What little soil there is, is of a very light sandy Patnte. Vegetation eseme to be abont from 6 weeks to 2 months later than it le at borne.

Algoma, Monday, July 7th, 1902. r Mr. er of Reply, fir To the lidltar of Tna Poem DRB Elta,—The HeraldStn,—The ot June 19thh contained a short letter in the form of a review in regard to the East Huroneieo tion, over my (signature. In THE Poet Of duly 10th there le a letter eritioieioe my stabemeete in The Herald, over the algae, tura of A Voter. He calls my review an able apology for Dir. Spotbou'e defeat and worth a great deal. He appatently is very anxious to kpow how mash 5 gob 01 am likely to get for it, showing etesrly that, lie le endowed with bright bueioesa ideas. Knowing you, Mr. Editor, to be good at figures be hes offered you the job of figuring out the exact value, just ae it he wished to know what to °barge for the produot of hie owe pen. When about writing said article for Tag Poex Mr. Voter mast have had considerable mental ealoulatione, most likely atter this man• nor : "I am a Simon•pare Grit, although I have read that review in the Herald I dou't want any trunk with that Tory paper bat am going to write to THE PoeT stud have soma tun ; I am going to poke some fun at Jana Bolger in partioular and the whole Tory party in general. I will pretend they hays money to spend for elation purposes when I know that the poor deluded Tories have not even one sliver to spend for that purpose ae they have no big timber limits to sell ; they have no large amounts Doming from dead men's properties ; they have not the dozens of ways for getting the money that we have; they have not the millions of surplus that we hear so mach talk about. We have the stuff and we do not use any of it for a wrong purpose for we are a party of parity ; we don't buy any votee ; we don't use the machine in any Shope or form ; we do not switch, barn or destroy any ballots." Now, Mr. Voter, a word with you, when writing your article you must have imagined that my statements were imaginative and not reliable for your principal reason given is that you beard the list of Brueeele was aerated by both parties before the Judge last Summer. I did not say that you didn't hear it for I have no oontrot over your hearing, but this I did eay and maintain, that the list was not properly looked after and that many names were left off that should nave been on. Since the election, in conversation with a man who lives in Morrie, he said he knew of 5 names not on the list in his sub -division wbioh should have been on. I say again had Mr. Spotton time to make himself known on the platform end the Voters' List been properly looked after all through the Riding there would have been a differ ant showing. Yon sok where were the other Tory sprinters who let hie opponent tell bis side of the story through the oampaign ? I answer most likely they were at home and careless. Yoo appear very anxious to know bow much I got or am likely to get for the few abatements I bad made in the Herald. Now, the proper time to put the teat and find onr Boob things was just before I polled my vote. I will tell you how it works for I have it from good authority. In a little town not quite 20 miles from Brussels, bbe Conservatives io that place auipeobed a pertain Reformer bad boodle and sou• olnded they would put the oath to him and test the case. They said he is a zealona Grit and if innocent won't lose his vote, but he would not take the oath, he would rather lose his vote. I sincere- ly hope and wish that at the next election the oath will be pat to every Grit and Tory in the Riding then some of the inner workings of the campaign would be brought to view. Yon ask what was the matter with Howick in not giving Mr. Spotton more support ? I answer care. leeenes8 again, and in return .1 ask you what was the matter with Ontario when it gave the Hon. Mr. Ross 7,000 less votes than it gave to Mr. Whitney and the fate of the Government apparently depends on four disputed ballots. When ',seeing through this world of ours s person of an observant turn of mind can see the names of the persons or firms on the different kinds of manufactured articles if genuine, true and usual, from a steam engine to a spool of thread, but you have not pot your name on your artiole in THE Pon. I now oonolnde, Mr. Editor, thanking you for apace and hoping to bear from Mr. Voter again. Yours truly, Jams BOLGER. Morris, July 1501, 1902, An Extraordinary Cure. Dromore, Ont., Aug. 1892. MacLeod Medicine Oo., Goderioh, Out. I am now gettiog to be an old man, Mose on 80 years of age. I was a Sufferer for nine years from what I could not describe and did not aoderstand, and sure enough the dootore I eonaalted failed, not one of them made out my ailment. I was that weak for throe years that I could not lift a pail of water offthe floor were I paid for it. Daring the last four years my akin turned blue, then black. I was obliged to cover my bands io the presence of etrangere and hide my facto the best way I could booties of my bleak skin. I could not get anything to do me good. I °pent, and was willing to spend more, hundreds of dollars in treat• ment and doctors' medicine. When Now that Alex. McDonald was oared—I did not believe he could be eared—I thought are I could stet some good anyway from what oared him. I got a bottle of your System Renovator from him, it made me quite Malt, bat I oontinned taking it. I got another and persevered in it, even if it did Molten me, and the reeutt was when I had taken four bottle(' I was strong enough to work, Then my bands were in parte white end in parte blue. I was tatiefied then it would oars me. I took $9.00 worth before I was clear and white as before, I have some color now, my blood most have undergone a great obaoge to turn my skin white in that time. 5 am quite well ever minae I atop. pod, and eat well and work bard every day. I would have given thousands of dollars for the remedy that would have recovered my natural dolor again. I give the praise to your Renovator Inc my ogre anyway.
