Will:ng lops Brrng FinestliratRions b Rideau Hall Sprang From Old English Yeoman Stock With Roots Deep in Re- cords of Race --Families Emerg- ed into Diplomatic Life After Great Fortunes Were Amassed in Railway Age - His Excellency Outwitted Ghandhi A penetrating pen will some day write a history of Rideau Hall which will hinge upon the persomd- ities of its various vice -regal occu- pants. There have been laye whe.n devotion to the arts and to litera- ture were the ruling passions, days when the glamor of royalty made the Hall the focus point of all eoc- tal eyes; there were days when sci- ons of Britain's oldest and finest aristocracy tilled the King's mace in his biggeat Dominion. In October it will 'yield to the sway of as interesting a pair as ever held its goversince . in their hands, Lord and Lady Willimplon are not far/el/far to the average newspaper and magazine reader. not because of laele of achievement, but because their duties have been carried out with so little sensation Or appeal to lurid interest, thnt gossip and small talk have had -little to dowith their names. They are of quite different aim.); to the last few fernlike to occupy the seat of government. Though hearing a title of high degree, they are not aristoerats in the serve in which Lord and Lady Bye e were of the aristocracy, or the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. They be- long to that exceedingly testi:resting class of English, the yeoman stock. Their family records go back in his-. toxy far beyond the origin of many of England'e most famous titled families. A Historic Family A family originating in the days of Elizabeth, or of the. Stuarte i where indeed, many great famil- ies had their beginnings), is r tgard- ed as fairly historic. But the fam- ilies of both Lord and Lady Wil- lingdon tractt their way far beyond that, ,even to Norman timet. In spite of what may have gone on in London, the coming and going of dynasties, front Plantagenete all the way dawn to the House of Windsor these yeomen of England have clung to the eon of thole native land with a tenacity that preserved them intact as a clam. They re- garded with a sort of toleration the risc of many aristocratic fareiliee, but treeteured to themselves more highly the descent from lather to son of rich farms, of old manor houses, of thoroughbred cattle and ancient woods, and all that they stood Inc. The reeent evolution of these, Jarnilies inekes fascinating, reading. Until the railway age their class wee eafeguardeil, but the invasion of remote parte of England bY and the conversion of distant country districts into mere adjuncts of manufacturing cities has, alas, smelled change to a • large pert of this old yeoman stock.

Palmerston, Uot clings to him and his nigs and his roses .divert his tired brain from polities, The son of a great manu- facturer, he finds his vocation in politics. Railway Development Coal and steel spell railways. The early part of the nineteenth century saw the development of the -giant eieiter industries., manufacturing and transportation. Frederick Freeman Thomas, fath- er of Lord Willingdon, was a great iron and coal merchant. When Freeman Freeman -Thomas complet- ed hie education there was no nec- essity for his entry into business. The family had acquired its wealth. The next step was, therefore, poli- tics, and the diplomatic life. The evolution of the Thomas family had reached that point. In the meantime the same thing had been happening in the Brassey family. Lady Willingdon's grand- father was a friend of George Ste- phenson, of railway fame, Through him he secured his first contract. He married a daughter of the first resident of the new town of Bilken- head, child of the railway age. She encouraged him to bezome a con- tractor, and eventually he becaine probably the greatest contractoe in the world. He built part of the Grand Trunk Railway; he built rail- ways in Great Britain, in India, in Argentina, in Italy, in Dorno a and elsewhere, When his son, Lady Willingdon's father, COMO to man- hood, he too had acquired to much of this world's veils that a busi- ness career was unneceseary. He too, took to politics. Twenty years as a member Inc Hastings, then an official of the navy clepeatment, and then he became governor of Vic- toria, Australia. It was here that. the two .great yeoman families ere.esed trails, Freemen Freeman - Thomas Went through Eton and Cambridge. At Cambridge for hie two senior years he was captain of the cricket eleven, and led his team to victory in a contest out •of which Cambridge graduates are etill able to get a vicarious 'thrill. When his left college, and after a few years' traveb he became attached to the camp of Lady Willingdon's father a$ aide-de-camp. Lady Willingdon was the Hon, 0 Marie Adelaide 13rassey, one of Lord Brasseyie three charming, (NU- b &ors, who with their clever moth- ti .ere roamed all over the Woald Itte the famous sailing yacht, The Sun- beam, Of thoee wanderings the mother's faelle pen Isept a record, and the publication Of her diariee made her One of the most popular writers of her day. In Canadiait libraries there ure to thi lay b alky volumes, profusely illustrated With phokneraphs and sketch's, front those trips on which the merry fam- ily became so well acquainted with the world, Lord Brassey'e tiile, like Lord Willingdon's, was confer. red as a reward for important im- perial services, Best British Traditions Backed, therefore, ley the beet traditions of the finest British stock familiar with remarkable. achieve • ments in commerce and industry, and personally so closely lesociated with the administration of civil government, Lord Willingdon has Much to offer to Canada. In 1919 Lord Willingdon was made governor of Bombay presidency in India, in authority over thirty million people of mixed races, in British and nat- ive -ruled states. One of the power- ful princes in his presidency was Gaekwar of Barodia. He was there throughout the war when Bombay, as the Indian port nearest to Eur- ope, was --the channel for that great flood of soldiers that went from In- dia to help win the war in the west. So successful was the administra4 tion that he was persuaded a the end of his term to proceed south to the presidency -of Madras (which, by the way, became British under the same treaty by which Canada was ceded to Britain,) where he had forty-three millions under hie ad- ministration. There he was so suc- cessful in securing native co -opera- tion that he completely frustrated the plans of Ghandi to stir up the Hindus against British rule. From the splendor of his Oriental prest- dencies, Lord Willingdon returned home with Lady Willingdon to Eng- land in 1924. There his remark- able knowledge of the Oriental mind was called into use in the matter of the Boxer indemnity, which was complicated by the present pelitical state of China, X4is mission took him across Canada and he had a bird's-eye view of the country. He was in China. when the tee sitese reached him, inviting him to be Canadian Governor-General. On his return to London, Lord Willingdon made a speech in which he recounted some of his impres- sions of Canadians. The two char- acteristics which seemed to impreee him most were the confidence iand the optimism of the country. Ile concluded by a shnple statement that was almost a VOW. This is what he said: "I am edetermined, so far as- it lies in me, to do my utmost to ie - sure the prosperity and progress of the great dominion," Son Died in War Lady Willingdon is a very charm- ing woman. Bred in an atmos- phere of public service, sne has been a valuable asset to ,her dis- tinguished, husband. She has suf- fered, too, and carries withia Iter heart a grief that will make her kin to .

The value of the output in 1925 reached a total of 347,026,- 802, an increase of $8,392,507 over 1924, according to statisties compil- ed by the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics itt co-operation with the De- partment of Marine and Fisheries. The importance of the industry may be also gauged by the state- ment that the capital invested in equipment and establishments in 1925 was $46,411,647, an increase of $2,554,297 ever previous year' and that the number of employeee engaged in the industry last year was -73,855 of which 58,2.91 were employed in primary operations_ The value of the fisheries in Can- ada, by provinces, in 1925 was as f 1925 Prince Edward Is Province '41,59a,119 Nova Scotia 10,213,687' New Brunswiek 4,798,589 Quebec 9,044,919 ' 3,496,412 10iiattnititrotoba 1,4(16,930 Saskatchewan 479,645 Alberta 458,504 British Columbia 22,414,518 Yukon Territory 15,370 Total $47,0-26,8.:-02 .se The record of value of fish pro- duction in Canada for the past five years indicates a gradual improve- ment since 1921, The tiguree for tlf721five years are i :- $31.981,985 1: 41,800,210 912223 • 4'4565,545 1924 44,534,235 1925 47,926,802 As will be seen, athe value for 1925 was the largest recorded itt the past five years.

Since the earliest days of .North American history the coastal and inland waters of the Dominion have been great producers of 'WI and 'so they still remain. It is stated by experts that there are over 600 dif- ferent kinds of fish native to Can- adian waters and that few of these are not of value as food. As yet only about fifty species are being utilized and only about fifteen are in demand on the Dominion's mar- ,kets. In the deep-sea Atlantic areas there are such staple fish as cod,. hadock, halibut, hake, herring mack erel, /obsters, smelt salmon, shad, oysters and clams. The Great rakete area, and Lake Winnipeg and other prairie waters, produce the follow- ing well-known vatieties, whitefish, lake herring or lesser whitefish, lake trout, dor6 or yellow or bine pick- erel, black bass, sturgeon, and cat- fish. The waters of the great plains east of the Rocky mountains an of the Hudson Bay area, yield lerge whitefish, dare, jackfish, gald-eyee, the salmon -like inconnn of the Mackenzie Basin, Arctic h.irring, • and grayling. Waters west of the Rockies, the Pacific area of Britieh Columbia, and the Yukon Territory contain an abundance of excellent fish such as salmon, halibut, !terrine', pilchards, rock cod, black eod, and many varieties of bat fieb, Of the game fish in Canada mach has been said. The salmon rivers of the lower St. Lawrence and- the. Atlantic coast from the gulf to the. coast of the state of Maine, are world famous. In Ontario's wittgs speckled trout abound evervah :re and black bass afford the higheet class of sport. On the Pacifit (meet there are also such famoue evert fish as the king salmon, -sr quinnet, the steelhea-d, redthroat and rale - bow trout, while in the little known waters of the north near .the Arctic 1 circle, excellent grayling of two species abound.
