across lots, but was warned before
he started to look' Out for a `savage

which had a striof bushes two

The village Of Sault Ste. Marie is certain
to become a place of great importance.
It forms the key to the whole country
lying to the north of the great lakes. It
is what we may callthe County town of the
district of Algoma, and therefore contains
all the Government buildings,. while it
receives the benefits arising from being
