(By F/L G. J. Huston) "Remember the year of the Big Stampede and the trail of ninety-eight When the eyes of the world were turned to the North, and the hearts of men elate," • Robert . Service Close to the 57th parallel in Alberta are two villages, about three miles apart. Walteirwabis and Fort McMurray are in the sheltered, forested valley of the Athabaska River and, together, form the northern terminal for the Northern Alberta Railroad. From these villages all freight moving "down" north must be transferred from the trains to the river beets and barges and thence to such well known northern points as Gold fields, Yellowknife and Port Radium. This route was one of the life lines of, the north-west before the Alcan Highway and the bush pilot. However, many cargoes of fish, gasoline, etc., still must pass through the twin villages. One of the river boat captains on the Athabaska — W. Harvey Alexander — was born in Gode- rich Township on or near the farm owned by Bill Townsend, Porter's Hill. Captain Alexander, recently retired after 30 years' service on Hudson Bay Company boats, is finishing off his last season in the north. His present contract cells for the hauling of whitefish from Great Slave Lake to the railhead at Waterways for onward shipment to New York. It is unlikely that many will remember the inland mariner, for he left Porter's Hill in 1898 to join the adventurers on the trail to the Klondike. While still a youth, he drove mule trains from Dawson City to the outlying points in the gold -bearing Yukon. It was during this period that he met a young clerk in the Can- adian, Bank. of Commerce in Whitehorse whose pen was to acquaint people the world over with Canada's "Land of the Mid- night Sun". Robert Service was the clerk and as Capt. Alexander said: "He wrote the way the rest of us felt" It was not surpris- ing, then, to find a well worn Copy of "The Songs of a Sour- dough" in the captain's cabin. "Later on," he explained, "when the big rush was over I cooked on the old river boats." Life es a cook palled and he worked as• a, deck hand. Shortly afterwards he captained his first boat. That was over 40 years His proudest moment, how- ever, came recently when he re- ceived a photo -story book out- lining his work during World War II. Those were the days when he sailed American army equipment down to Athabaska to where airports came into being where wilderness existed only days before. Although long away from his home county, he recalls it as "a settled place" and "the best of farm land," He wonders if such families as the Can•telons, Billets, McCloskys, MacDonalds, Stirlings and Torrances, still live around Holmesville and Clinton. "We were related to all, of them --big families in those days, you know," he commented. He was surprised to hear that there were no stores at Porter's Hill. Fifty-five years ago there were a general store, blacksmith's shop and a school with every promise of more to follow. Mrs. Alexander has made home in Vancouver and when freeze- up comes this year the captain will leave the north that has held him for over half a century, He doubts if he ever will journey. east again although he would like to hear from any relatives or those who knew the Alexander family back in the Nineties, The address—a quiet little village of frame buildings and pioneering souls—Waterways, Alta.

AND MRS. EDWARD BOYES, residents of Brucefield district for 35 years, who celebrated their golden wedding day on Tuesday, August 28. They were guests of honor 'at a family dinner at Bayfield, and were presented with a handsome painting, Fire Destroys arn And Grain in Stanley (By our Bayfield correspondent) A ruddy glow in the sky for many miles around told the story of a fire in Stanley Township Friday evening lest. The blaze completely destroyed the barn and contents on the property on the east side of the road owned by Gordon Hill, Goshen Line, south of Bayfield and Varna. The farm is known as the "Norman Stephenson" farm, and is located on RIZ. 1. Varna. Barn and contents were cov- ered by insurance, but the Ioss was heavy. The fire was noticed first a- round nine o'clock by the Prank Boyce family, located on the west. side of the Goshen Line, across the road from the Hills. By the time the men reached the barn, both mows were ablaze. Brucefield end Hayfield Volun- teer Fire Departments reached the fire in record time, but the blaze had gained such headway in the barn that all they could dot was to protect neighboring buildings, including the Bayes buildings to the west, from fly- ing sparks. When the wind shift- ed, the Hill residence, a brick building, also was kept under control from the flames. There was a steady stream of traffic to the scene of the huge blaze, which delayed the local truck in its arrival. Hundreds of cars were attracted by the illumination visible foe many miles. They were parked along each side of the road for more than d mile and at the Hill farm and adjoining farmyard. Persons who,are going .to a fire as spectators should remember that traffic to and parked cars at the scene of the conflagration, hinders the efficiency of fire- fighters and in some instances, might easily mean the loss of a building to the owner. Barn and contents were com- pletely destroyed. They included a new bean scuffler, a quantity of small tools, and both the 1950 and 1951 cropso fale baled hay, as well as 600 to 700 bushels of oats, owned by Bruce Keys, R.R. 1, Varna. No cause was given for the origin of the fire, although there was a suggestion that spontan- eous combustion in the hay mows may have been the cause. LESS ACREAGE OF FALL WHEAT IS ANTICIPATED "Harvesting is now completed in the southern part of the county, but there still is a con- siderable acreage of grain to be combined or threshed in -the nor- thern section," G. W. Montgom- ery, Agricultural Representative for Huron County, reported to- day. "However, rainy weather the latter part of last week fur- ther delayed harvest operations. "Sugar beets, beans and corn were suffering from lack of moisture. "As yet there has not been too much preparation for fall wheat; however, indications are that acreage will be down consider- ably. Some fair stands of sec- ond -cut alfalfa are being harvest- ed."

STACK BLAZE THREATENS BARN, HOUSE Clinton and Seaforth Volunteer Fire Brigades and their modern equipment, complete with boost- er pumas and storage tanks, com- bined to extinguish an incipient fire in a large strawstack and save the barn and other buildings on the farm of Alex Riley, Hui - lett Tovenship, near Constance, about two o'clock Sunday after- noon, The blaze was discovered burn- ing near the barn, and a small garden hose, connected with the pressure system in the barn, did valiant work .in keeping the flames from spreading to the barn, which was practically up against the stack. Pails and buckets also helped to same ex- tent, with the assistance of water from nearby wells. When ;the organizedfire depart- ments arrived, they lost no time in getting to the root of things— inside the stack itself, They con- served their water as much as possible, and a grader to spread. the straw, helped complete the job. FINED FOR SPEEDING A fine of $5 and costs was imposed in Magistrate's court at Goderich Thursday last on Jo- seph Marks, who was convicted of speeding at Clinton. Chief Joseph Ferranti checked his speed at 55 miles an hour.

BAPTISTS ' MARK SIXTY.FOURTH ANNIVERSARY Clinton Baptists celebrated the 64th anniversary di the founding of the congregation on Sunday, when special services were held morning and evening, with Dr. H. A. Showalter, Stratford busi- ness man, as special speaker, In pleasing manner,. Dr. Sho- walter discussed 't h theme; "Christian Life is Real," at the morning service, and "Leader- ship" at the evening service. Mrs. Emma Rivett and Miss Shirley Robertson, Dungannon,. sang two excellent duetts at the morning service, with Mrs. Clair Clerk at the organ, while James V. Corran, Roimesv5liet was a fine tenor soloist with two num- bers at the evening service. Mrs. Clark again accompanied on the organ. Rev. Clair Clark, pastor of the church, was in charge of both services. In his morning address, Dr. Showalter advocated the living of the Christian faith from day to day, in our daily lives. "We should pot keep our Christian faith in a separate compartment," he said. "Christianity is not church, not morals, not a creed," he averred. "It is' a way of life . ."' He stated that 'the Bible does not try to argue doctrine. Dr. Showalter held that church forms do not constitute religion, which he defined as "any form of cooperative faith and service." He emphasized the power of prayer end communion with God. Clinton Baptist services next Sunday, September 9, will be withdrawn on account of the an- niversary services of Auburn Baptist Church at 3 p.m. and 7.30 p.m. 0 COUNTY ROAD WORK ACTIVE CEMENT SCARCE County Engineer T. Roy Pat- terson, Goderid`r, reports that considerable work has been in progress on the 400 miles of county roads of Huron this year. At present there is a scarcity of cement needed for the con- struction of three bridges, one at Dashwood and two north of Clin- ton. Mr. Patterson stated that the County Roads Commission has plenty of steel on hand. Twelve workmen are engaged in repairing damage done by a slide of the bank on the east side of the Maitland River, near S'altford, on the Benmililer Road. The slide is being filled up and the retaining wall hes been re- built. The slide was an unusual one, Mr. Patterson said, as the road slid down beneath the trees, which now are slanting out in different directions because their footings have been disturbed. One of the 'abutments on Bell's bridge is being repaired. The Maitland River is ten feet deep in front of it, and plenty of bass are to be seen, Fut they are not biting, according to the co- unty engineer. The new bridge at Kirkton is finished. It was on land at the end of this bridge that Timothy Eaton established his first store, acquired, according to records, from a relative. He sold it in 1865. Two miles of street have been constructed with county road equipment at Wing'ham, also five miles of road east of Brussels. DRUMHEAD SERVICE J. D.
