Up to tbia time there was not a white settlement in Buffalo. Toronto was a trading post, and the site of Hamilton was an impassable swamp. In 1801 several settlers arrived from Montgomery County;Penn. They had nine four -horse teams and herds of cattle and found it ditBicult crossing the Alleghany Mountains. The jour- ney to the rich County of Waterloo required several weeks. These peo- ple brought money with them to pay for their lands and implements. In order to reach the nearest mill it was necessary to travel 25 miles through swamps to Dundas. In 1804 a new WATERLOO COUNTY NOTED FOR ITS FINE SEED GRAIN ANI) FAT CATTLE Waterloo County, which is widely known throughout Canada for the production of export cattle and seed grain, was the first colony in the in- terior of Upper Canada, being part of the Mohawk reservation, six miles each side of the Grand River. The pioneer settlers were chiefly Men- nonites from Pennsylvania, whose skill, thoroughness and industry have made them pre-eminent among the farmers of Ontario. In reviewing the history of these people it is learned that they were followers of Simon Menno, who re- nounced his connection with the Roman Catholic Church in 1586. As a result all non -conformists of Hol- land, Germany and Denmark were known as Mennonites. The chief mark of distinction from the Lutherans was a sentiment of objection to military service, judicial or.ths, and bahtism of infants. Their peculiar views were sneered at but the sect gathered in numbers and ccurage and the movement penetrated Central Europe. In 1798 the pioneers of the Men- nonite movement in Canada came across the border, some settling near Niagara and others on Yonge Street. In 1799 came the Waterloo pioneers. Joseph Sherk and Samuel Betzner. from Franklin County, Pa., whose admiration for British institutions is said to have inspired their designs. At that time no white settlers had arrived except three noted traders, Dodge, Preston and Woodward. Dodge resided near the present site of C; -alt and lived to be 100.

Those who. are anxious to secure tele- phone connection and do ultimately secure II; are apt to feel that the money has been wisely spent, but those who have the service already in their hose 8 or offices have sometimes wondered What was done with the pro- ceeds of the securities sold at fre- trouble sense in the settlement when quent inteirvals.

Tillie amount was secured from Mennonites in Penn., and deposited in a strong box. It was taken 500 miles through forests and swamps to Canada. The settlers secured their winter clothing from the sheep and summer clothing from the flax. The tailor received 75 cents a day and board and the seamstress $1.50 a week. The shoemaker came with his tools and made the boots. In order to add to the financial in- come these pioneers turned the hard - weed into charcoal and marketed it among the wagon -makers, tinsmiths and blacksmiths. "Stove -coal at that time was not in use. For a six -penny crock of thick milk and bread, the Indians supplied the settlers with a quarter of venison and a basket of speckled trout. In these early days teamsters re- ceived $5 a day. Oats were sold at $2 a bushel, but land could be pur- Mere is now under way or in imtnedi- chased at $4 to $5 an acre.

Among his many duties was the performing of marriage ceremonies, for which he usually received a quantity of saus- ages. The teachers of these early days were poorly paid, receiving from $10 to $12 a month. The first school teacher of Waterloo County was Joseph Waddell, who taught only German. In 1846 English was first taught in Waterloo County by Michael McNabb, a Highland Scotch - man. The early settlers of Waterloo County were noted for their fine farm buildings and were the people who first introduced the bank barns into Canada. They erected barns with basement stables. These were built against a side of the hill and were called "bank barns" for this reason. The idea was brought from Switzerland, and the Mennonites of Pennsylvania had found them so ben- eficial they erected this type in Can- ada. J. S. Knapp, Agricultural Repre- sentative of Waterloo County, states that the farmers of this county are among the best in Ontario. The type of cattle produced is improving continually, and the county can boast of a Shorthorn Club and Holstein Breeders' Club. "Dairying is in- creasing in importance all the time, as there is a great demand for milk and butter by the large towns and cities within our borders," states Mr. Knapp. Elmira has one of the larg- est and most progressive co-operative dairy plants in Ontario. North Dumfries Township, which is particularly free of weeds, is noted throughout Canada as a "seed grain" township. Messrs. George R. Barrie and Son are among the most exten- sive growers of grain for seed pur- desks, and it all looks ao simple that they are inclined to lase sight of the fact that the service in the aggregate has already .meant an investment of close upon $60,000.000. That an even larger investment is contemplated' is seen from the fact that the existing authorized Capital is $75,000,000, and that the unallotted $25,000,000 is al- most certain to be floated before many years have elapsed. Take the situation in Toronto as an example of the demands that are be- ing placed • upon the management in all the larger centres of the country in a greater or lesser degree. Here in Toronto the company has on its books at`the moment requisitions for 6,000 telephones, some of which will not be met for months to come. In order to accommodate many of these prospective customers the company will require to spend several million dollars. As a matter of cold figures DR. C. MACKAY C.

Plowing matches and plowing competitions are also prominent fea- tures in the county. These compe- titions have done much to create a desire for taste and tidiness about our farms," said Mr. Knapp. The School Fairs of Waterloo County are known throughout the Province as being among the best. This year they promise to be a great- er success than ever. One of the leading pioneer manu- facturers of Waterloo County was Jacob Beck (father of Sir Adam Beck), who came from New York in 1 *i' and opened up a small foundry in New Hope (Hespeler.l Having ievented a peculiar water -wheel of small size and power, his reputation became enviable. He erected a foun- dry at Preston, which was later de- stroyed by fire, but another plant was snor. erected, and a large staff ap- pointed to sell stoves in Western Can- aria. For improving the water -power 01 Robert Hunt's woollen mills, he secured the privilege of erecting a sawmill on hunt's property. Beck evolved a project for a water power cr.nal leading from the Speed River dam and supplying power to milts and factories along the river. As the scheme did not find support, he be- came displeased with Preston. Ile located at Paden, where in 1895 he established a foundry and grist mill. He was the first. settler in Baden and had the village laid out. In 1857 he was classified as postmaster, miller founder and machinist. The little village of Baden is also the birth r•tace of Sir Adam Beck.

Nearly a third of the total sum just mentioned will have to be spent as a direct outcome of the change which is to be made as speedily as possible from manual to aatom atie.exchanges. Here also another illusion is dissipat- ed. The notion has prevailed in many quarters that with the passage of the old style exchange and the adoption of the automatic exchanges the girls now used in the former will be thrown out of employment. Just the con- trary is the case. Not only will all the girls presently employed be re- quired, but the services of many more will be pressed into commission. The 2,300 girls now employed in the To- ronto exchanges will by 1827 have been increased to 0,900. In that year there will be 17 offices, nine of them manual and eight automatic. Perhaps the ,,largest single works that are now ander way by the Bell Telephone Company in Toronto are the erection of three new buildings, which will house the Elgin, Grover and Kenwood Exchanges. It has to be understood that a building of ord- inary construction will not suffice for the installation of the machinery nee- _essary for automatic service. Practi- cally all the work of the exchange has to be done by intricate mechan- ism, and machinery is almost always heavier than human beings. For that reason $1,475,000 is being expended on the Elgin exchange, $650,000 of which will go into the new steel struc- tural building situated immediately in the rear of the present Adelaide building, $850,000 in equipment and $100,000 in outside plants. The new buildings and 'machinery for the Grover and Kenwood exchanges— Grover will be the first automatic ex- change in use in the city—will each cost $1,200,000. The Grover building is already well on to completion, while work upon the erection of the Ken- wood building, adjoining the com- pany's present property in that dis- trict, will be commenced in July and completed about the first of the year 1025. The outside equipment for these three exchanges will run well intc $300,000, including numerous trunk wires, the number of which is governed entirely by the volume of business offering. For the benefit of those who are not acquainted with the internal econ- omy of the telephone system it may be stated that, whenever a new ex- change is established, it becomes nec- essary to run trunk wires from every such new exchange building to all other existing exchange buildings in the city. If the cables, already in use for this purpose in Toronto were stretched around the equator they would reach around the world 1 1-3 times. Often between two exchanges there are as many as 1,200 pairs of trunk wires. The Hudson building is already filled up, and the manage- ment will he face to face with the problem of its extension in the near future. The Junction exchange will require a new building within three years. The extension to the Hudson building will cost at least $100,000, and $225,000 is being spent cm out- side plant. The Gerrard Exchange, which serves the whole of the Dan- forth district, will need $175,000, and Trinity will require $225,000. A storage yard that is needed in the east end will east $25,000. The mechanical process will be in- stalled in the Elgin building some time in 1924.

Filr the' present year $2,2221;000 was asked for outside plant; already of this sum, there has been'appropriated and un- der way $1,4,36,000, and egtiimatee pending apprgpriation amount to $685,0.00: These sums represent, all the work that, is. to . be undertaken' this year. One benched miles of poles alone have to be erected. Aerial cables will call for $460,000. In un- derground cables $1,300,000 is to be placed. Foul^ hundred pair of sub- naripe cables are to be laid at the western channel for the use of Island subscribers and this 'will involve the expenditure of $16,000. A long dis- tance cable has been projected be- tween Toronto and Hamilton, which will be carried underground from the centre of the- city to the westerly limits of New Toronto; it will then proceed as an aerial cgble until the confines of Hamilton are reached, when it will again be placed under- ground. The construction of this conduit and cable will cost $700,000 and will carry 280 pairs of fast wires between the two cities. This long distance cable for the use of Toronto and Hamilton subscribers, will not be in operation for another year, but it is the intention of the management to extend it to Niagara Falls and to London with as little delay as pos- sible. Nor will it be long before het long distance cable will be extended eastward to Montreal. The Bell Telephone Company has done a lot to clean up the streets of the city and to make them more pre- sentible to the eye. Innumerable poles have been removed in various sections. The removal of one of these in the vicinity of the King Edward Hotel involved an expenditure of $35,- 000. With part of the system operat- ing on the marina' and part on the automatic. much temporary apparatus has been necesejtated. To make the existing machinery work with the me- chanical o-chanical process the sum of $1,100,000 has to be expended.
