DEAR SIRS: --Enclosed please find
Postal Note for $1.50 to renew my
subscription for another year.
Montreal has enjoyed the finest
wittier this year•, within the memory
of out oldest resident We have had
no prolonged periods of cold weath-
er. Comparatively little snow has fal-
len -not enough to require the use
of chains on the autos. We have not
had any really bad storms though
some severe ones have been reported
on the New England coast and in
parts of Ontario. Skiing in the
Laurentian Mountains, a few miles
to the north of tis, has been most
popular and successful this winter -
the siders flocking there ,every week-
end by the thousands, and ski -trains
are run to accommodate the crowds.
If these fine winters should continue
this would be an .attractive resort
for tourists.
Our three ice -breakers, N. B. Mc-
Lean, the Saurel and Lady Grey have
been smashing their way through '70
miles of solid ice, for the past two
weeks, to open a channel in the, St.
Lawrence from Three Rivers to
Montreal. They are now about .25
miles from Montreal attd barring ac-
cidents they expect to mach this port
on St. Patick's Day. This year the
ice measures in thickness from seven-
teen to twe(tity-four inches but its
ether winters, it was about one foot
thicker. The opening of navigation
is eagerly awaited here for to proid'e
a wonderful impetus to business.
Yours truly, •
-T. H: LENNOX.

feet was lodged under the platform,

self free, 'suffering tone ligaments
and a badly sprained and bruised
ankle. He will be laid up for a, couple
of weeks.
