TORONTO TOCP, ORT ARTHUR
Port Arthur, July 22, 1926
To the Editor of the Wingham
Advance -Times.
Dear Sir:—
In a moment of weakness 1 believes
1 promised to write you'some notes
on my trip. Ani sorry I did, but we.
all say and do things in our better
rnoments that wet almost regret after-
wards, and shouldn't like to acquire
as a habit.
Well we left Toronto Tuesday
night at 9.45 via C. N. R. for a cross
country run 'through Parry Sound,
Hornpayne and Long Lac to Port
Arthur. This is the road the old
Canadian Northern built for a short
cut to Winnipeg and bankruptcy.
When we awoke Wednesday moring
we were in •what has been termed
"the land of the stunted poplar" with
good reason, and most of the wood
has been burned along the railway,
so there is nothing left but stone and
-water; a good "territory through which
to construct a•-ta lroad, however, as
the present line was built on the solid
rock and Government . subsidies, for
the most part, and a lot of water was
.required to liquidate the stock. There.
may be gold in the mountains and
silver' in the mimes, as the old song
says, but certainly this part of. On-
tario will never loom large as an ag-
ricultural country. .During the whole
long dayof eighteen hours of light,
the only evidence of an attempt at
growing anything that I saw, was a

With me ,one of the most interest-
ing features in travelling is studying
the various types of people one meets
On our train we had a.young woman
with two lively children bound for
Alaska, a man from Saskatchewan
who had been down. to Toronto with
a shipment of cattle; .He believes in
his Province and thinks Regina will
yet be a bigger city than Winnipeg, a
thorough westerner, claiming that the
Dominion Govt. should' hand over all
land, oil, timber and any other nates•'
al resources, 'lying around loose to
the Province. We also had a man
and wife from Alberta returning from
an Eastern trip, and a half breed trap-
per, an interesting fellow who told
quite casually about losing $14,000 'in
a fox farm venture. Said he never
married though 61 years old, as he
wouldn't' marfy a squaw, and no white
woman would go into the wilds with
hint. These and others made up the
passenger list in our car, including a
number of wives of railw'ay'men and
their families travelling on passes. If
this country could only get rid of the
customs frauds, the pass system; and
the overloaded civil service we might
soon be on a fair way to reduce tax-
ation
axation to a greater extent and to fur-
ther . decrease. our debt. Perhaps we
cannot blame the wives of railways
men for wanting to get into civiliza-
tion occasionally. Two pathetic inci-
dents that occurred will illustrate this.
We stopped at a little out of the world
placewith only Iwo or three shacks
in it and a tall good looking fellow,
as brown as an Indian, jumped on
board, as soon as they saw him two
little girls yelled, "Hello daddy", and
his wife sprang up frons her seat.
There was general all round kissing
match for a minute or two, when he.
started to get off the train as it
wouldn't wait long. "Hold on", said,
his wife, "you havn't seen the baby
yet". He looked rather sheepish as
he confessed he had forgotten all a-
bout the kid, and then counted one-
two -three -four -five -six. "Well., I guess
that's all, I must be going, so long."
"Do you have to go West this sum-
mer?" asked his wife. "Don't know
yet, havii't got my orders", hurriedly
replied he, and was gone.
The second incident occurred at
Hornpayne, where' another railway
titan's wife was carried on a stretcher
ands' put on board the train to come
to Port Arthur, a distance of 200 .mil-
es or more to undergo an operation..
There are not enough people in parts,
of the north country to support doc-
tors so the women who 'have their
homes there take some long chances.
They must have brave hearts to en-
dure it. Our car was not . crowded
so there was a vacant seat for each
kiddy when night came on. ,I count-
ed seventeen of them, each fast .as-
leep and not worrying about any-
thing. . They are the true philoso-
phers,'for if there is any worrying to
be done they let the silly grown up
people do it. I didn't take . a sleep-
ing
leeping berth ` myself, as I thought I

could stay awake just as comfortably'
in the day coach. When in the din-
ing car for 'meals, however, I sized
up the bunch, and decided that our
crowd was just as good looking and.
a:lot more sociable.
We arrived in Port Arthur at the
unseemly hour of 3 a.m. and will lea-
ve for Winnipeg via Fort Frances
and Rainy, River about 7 a.m., or as
soon as the' boat arrives: Daylight
conies early in this north country, so
I must now see what I can of the

This month I think I have given
you more recipes than anything else
but I can't resist telling you this
fr,undation for any fruit ice.
Here is the recipe for twelve peo-
ple
eo-
ple
Boil 2 cups of granulated sugar and
2 cups of water to a thin syrup. Add
this to the juice • of two lemons,
strained, other fruit juice and 2 cups
of cold water.
Pack and. freeze. If necessary to
keep it for several hours, dissolve ane
package of unflavored gelatin and add
to mixture while hot.
'The proportions of fruit to add are:
i. Juice of six oranges, strained.
If desired grate in some of the "rind.;
2, Juice and pulp of six peaches
(mashed),
3. Six teacups of strawberries,
mashed to a pulp.
4• Five . and one-half teacups of
Concord grapes, mashed and boiler%
for five minutes with onecup of wat-
er. Strain before adding to syrup:
Advance. Thanksgiving Hint
Have you ever had fresh watermel-
on for Thanksgiving dinner? I know
that Novetriber is a long way off, but
this treat is the •sort of thing you
must prepare in advance.
Select, preferably as near the end
of the season as possible because you
won't have to keep it so long, a firm
xnelan onwhich the rind has not been
broken. Wash and dry it carefully.
Then dip the melon into cool wett-
ed parafiti making sure that every
part Of it is completely coated, Let
it harden and theta put the melon in a
icaol place where it will keep until.
wanted!
I have .never tried to save a melon
after Christmas day but there is no
reason' why one will not keep almost
indefinitely in a dry, cool spot.. (If
you have a Cellar that is the ideal
storage place for the vcgetahle.
Dainty Lemonade Sets
After a strenuous round of golf or
gauze of tennis, nothing ever tastes
quite so good as lemonade served in
soft colored glasses.
