Wiwi a view of fie protection the On-
tario Government is employing 13 aero-
planes in counection with the Forestry
department, replacing the canoe patrol.
Flying machines are also being utilized
in Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia
and Quebec. Another safeguard would
be the replacing ofthe careless wooden -
heads of people wbo traverse the wilds
and forget even the Safety First prin-
ciples in want of care in seeing that fires
they nsed were carefully put out.
VIcroa/A DAY calls to mind the long
and victorious reign on the British
throne of Victoria, the Good. She act-
ed her part in a manner that makes her
memory a joy forever and her impress
on the Nation is evergreen. 'Unfortun-
ately the weather on Saturday upset the
plans of various places intending to cel-
ebrate the day but the thoughts of many
would still revert to Queen Vic.,as she
was often called. Her influence has
been an abiding factor throughout the
realm.
SUPREME Court upheld the prohibition
of importing intoxicating - liquors into
Ontario. The authorities will no doubt
see that the authority is made use of in
antedating thereadiness of booze traf-
fickers to "flood Ontario" with the stuff
that inebriates. This is a worth -while
decision on the part of the Court and
should be of value to, the Prohibition
forces who are anxious to make it easy
to live a sober life and at the same time
to offset the defiance of John Barleycorn
and his advocates.
"Knee the Home fires burning" is the

many loved to sing. That has nothing
to do with the fuel that has been added
by act and word in the arrest and in-
sinuation of many well known persons
fn the Home Bank disaster, Trouble
has been in producing the proof that
would fasten the guilt or give a clear
sheet. Like an odorous pool it does not
improve by the stirring up. Tara PosT's
advice would be to the authorities not
to grow weary in well doing but to
"Keep the Home fires burbing" until the

Hydro Meeting at Walton
The meeting held on Thursday
night to discuss Hydro- for this cone
munity attracted a large audience and
the A. O. U, W, hall was crowded,
Rev. Mr, Ohandier was Chairman and
introduced speakers, E. R. Wigle,
M', P. P., Goderich; member for
Centre Huron, was first called. He
said he was delighted to see such a
large audience present. He felt that
there was interest in hydro, but the
people bad yet to learn how many
ways it could bit/peed besides simply
for light and meetings of this kind
were instructive from that point, AG
the same time he had nothing to sell
and Mr. Castor, the Hydro engineer,
had nothing to sell, They did not
come to urge anyone to take Hydro
unless they wished. Itcalveexpen-
sive to farmers because so few took it
to every mile of line compared to
town, The Legislature was now help-
ing the farmers by paying 80 per cent
of the cost of the secondary lines. It
was something, but it did not seem
much to the consumer,
Mr. Castor, the Hydro engineer for
the district, then gave a very lucid
and clear explanation of the cost of
Hdro.
He showed owed wh
aL Hydro cost
at Niagara Falls and what it east at
Seaforth. Poles are now being placed
from Seaforth to bring the line to
Welton, which will be a distributing
centre for Brussels to the North and
Blyth to the West, both of which
places have contracted with the
Hydro Commission. Now if the
people of Walcott require Hydro, or if
farmers require it. they roust sign a
contract for it and the cost will de-
pend first on the line from Seaforth to
Walton, then on the secondary line.
The secondary lines coat about $1200
per mile, of which the Provincial
government pays 50 per cent. Then
there will be inteteet on the original
east, operating and maintenance noel,
ureters, etc, Tide would require three
fatmere on each mile of line at a ser-
vice charge of $O 20 per month for a
51i, p, inetallatlon or $5,60 for a 9 h. p.

charge will be a rate according to the
current used. Mr. Castor said Mr.
Wigle thought the amount paid by
the Government was not much, but
the speaker said he was afraid that,
while not much to the individual
farmer, about $75, yet the total was so
great it might break the Government.
Mr. Oaetoe explained that they ahould
get out and canvass the farmers, show
them how manyways it would help,
both in the house where churning,
ironing, eweeping, washing and cook•
ing could be done, and at the barn,
pumping, grinding and fanning could
be done cheaply by Hydro, and many
other things, assisting the wife and
husband at a time when manual help
is so hard to get, If they would can-
vass and get enough signatures, their
Municipal Council would then be in a
position to sign an agreement and the
Commission would do the rest,
A committee was formed to canvass
the village thoroughly for subscribers
and get contracts signed. Eftnrte will
also be made to have a committee far

ers and interest them In using power

Longbefore 7aoques Cartier sailed up the St. Lawrence
to discover Hochelaga, a now -forgotten race of people
were making pilgrimages to the Big Rock towering above
the waters of Lake Mazinawe in Eastern Ontario to
observe religious ceremonies, to worship before this
great natural altar and to propitiate the gods who d{velt
within its granite mass. In the backwoods now, five
hundred years ago the Bi Rock of Bon Echo was in the

To them the Big Rock at Bon Echo must have been
a thing of mystery, as it remains today both to arche-
ologists and geologists. None can reconcile the sheer
untouched lace with the glacial markings along its top,
and in the same way the paintings along the face are an
unsolved riddle.' ."Who put them there"? and "what
do they mean'? are unanswered questions. Along
the face of the Big Rock a few feet above the waterline
are the hferogiyphfo records of an unknown people.
Painted in a virtually imperishable paint whose eon: -
position is unknown, and which has defied the weathering

Whether they have awarlike or religious significance Ir
not known, although some people hold that they record
a great victory of the Iroquois over the, Hurons and
Algonquin and have been written in some .involved
and mystic code.

paintings of the Big Rock are trail marks, records of the
hunt, signboards for other travellers. The natives of the

From Brockville to Trenton, on the sberes of Lake
Ontario, the legend of Meyer's Cave has long persisted.
The hint of such a eave first came when the Indians
from the country to the north brougbtln bars of native
silver to exchange for food and firearms. For years they
refused to discuss the source of their wealth with anyone,
but in time, a trader by the name of John Meyers, who
had been brought up in emaciation with Indians was
able to ingratiate himself into the confidence of two
members of the tribe and in exeliange for liberal quanti-
ties of fire -water, they agreed to Conduct him north.

bars of native silver, as one piled cordword.

in company with another man. Loth to divulge the dis-
covery, he did nothing for some yyears and when he did
return the fires had swept through the backcountry and
had altered its typography to such an extent that heaves
never able to locate it again.
Several comfortable fortunes has been spent trying
to locate the eave, One man lived' for fourteen years on
top of the Big Rock going ever every square inch of it,
time and time and again, certain to the day of his death,
that his perseverance would be rewarded. Today in a
sheltered hollow there are a few rotting logs at right
angles to mark his home,
Another expedition spent thousands of dollars scrapie
the earth off the central portion of the rock, in a vain march
for the cave. Once or twice every summer a group of old
prospectors will appear at Bon Echo Inn, and awned
with pickaxes and hammers, will mysteriously disappear
