Ton Bra DIToa.—A newspaper scribe gives his experience of a visit to the big ditch :—On Thursday morning the Rambler arrived once more in Mouktoa, with a view of visiting the dredge panel, now under operations in Grey. He soon succeeded in securing the valuable ser. vioee of Joeepb Goforth as eeoort, and the twain were soon battling the road into the wilds of the above named township. The day was very warm, and the road somewhat rough and many planes en- closed by dense woods. The wolves and bears and all such creatures took great care to keep their distance, but then there was the invincible mosquito to contend with. Myriads of times appeared to be in ambush, for when the one line was out throngh, and the brave party began to think the victory was theirs, just then they would be encountered by a stronger regiment of the swamp defenders. The party was determined, however, to reach the goal, which they finally did, though the Rambler often felt the need of a soreen door on his lower extremities. But finally they reached a point a few miles into Grey, between cons. 16 and 17, where they found the Oliver & Guhr Dredge Oompony hard at work. Tbis company have the oontreat of dredging what may well be nailed a canal, about 11 miles in length. The land is mostly ell a thickly covered swamp, much of the good timber having been taken off. The land seems very wet at present, and ie full of all kinds of buried limbar, which is a great obstacle to the dredging. Mr. Oliver told the Rambler that be has been 28 years at this work, but be never met the earns underground obstacles else• where that he is meeting here. There are beaver dans in plane which appear to be huh recently deserted, as the stook i of food widish this industrious animal i had laid np is still to be found unharmed. The dredge machine is somewhat of boat' t shape in the bottom, size 18x20x12 feet, The oanal at the point where they ore now at work is 26 feet wide on top, and 8 I feet deep, and is, of course, fall of water. Tbe Cabin for the men floats along close to the dredge. There is but one clipper to parry out all the dirt. This takes one t cubic yard at a time, and makes a trip in o about 40 emends. The space out out b through the stbamp is about 65 feet in t width, all the dirt, stumps, eto., being hoisted a distance of six feet away from p either edge. This dipper is powerful and can be used in so many positions that the s Rambler at times thought it might well D be called the steam elephant. There are d atones and stumps and butte of trees, e which with the ,tinging dirt will weigh e several tons, that have been lifted out fl and carried out of the way, The caval is n to drain about 15,000 twee of land which w promises to be of great value when drain- w ed, The district lute always been flooded t and malted by water, which had no a outlet, and as a result much decayed matter is on top, causing a swampy ap- R peerenoe. Ib is generally thought that in d the near future a particularly fine farm- e ing country will bo found where the a swamp lies. The dredge is owned by b Oliver & Guhr, of London, their party le aoneiebiog of about twelve men, Aug. t Guhr is engineer ; Geo. Harper, cranes' a man ; Robert Halo, fireman ; Dave Sin- b Glair, anohor tender, who bad this day a gone to Bruseele to safe Grey from defeat e in a tug of'wa'r'ti nteat: He would make a an anchor mato, sure. Grey should oar- a teinly win. Jaoli Wiley is the other is anchor tender, while Oummitge, Ametolo, a McNaught and Hart are other helpers, a Jake Took is the worthy nook, but he d was off for a day, and thie gave Mr. Oliver a ebavoe to burn hie fingers in the cabin. The Rambler and his eeoort were of invited to ditto with the party, whioli they did, and enjoyed very much a good of substantial meal oe the water, whioh was of to thorn a novelty—beans, peas, pont, se bread and butter, podding and tea of to good quality, all being served. The jo Rambler cannot but ,peak in most fnvot" t abls.terma of the vary kind reception he eeceived at the hands of this dredge party, pleased to o+11 on them again. We meet not forget the little fish, which follow along tamely std Come as regularly to the piste of breed and meat as it is held out by the men. They are of varioue kinds, are growing nicely, and some day should become numerous enough to afford good flaking along the new canal. %V all noses. 6I.
