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.

funds to m ke needed extensions to

money has been wisely spent, but

it was learned that $20,000 was re- muting ma8hine on their walls or
quired to pay off the mortgage. 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.

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

The School Fairs of Waterloo

Province as being among the best.
This year they promise to be a great-

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

became enviable. He erected a foun-

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

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

established a foundry and grist mill.
He was the first. settler in Baden and
had the village laid out. In 1857 he

village of Baden is also the birth

of it, to run a telephone system will
have to revise their ideas.
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. This structure at the

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,-

ing on the marina' and part on the
