The1old saying that it's an ill winds that •blows no one good holds true. The Federal Government had intend- ed dredging Kincardine harbor and entrance this Summer with its own equipments, but; as- is. now well known, the government dredge sank en route during a storm. With the splendid dredging equipment of Wr L. Forrest close at hand, the logical thing to do was to give this well known gentle- man the jab, and this very thing has been done, for Mr. Forrest has been awarded the contract. The result is that local and county men will be given work which they had not an• ticipated securing.

Australian Giants Of the Cricket Field There is a ninety piece of discolor- ed 'parchment, drawn up by the hand ' of an industrious monk Whose duty it was to chronicle for ,posterity the events of the day. It may be seen by the curious in the King's library, and it represents two cowled figures, one holding a crooked stick, the Sax- e word for which was Cric or Cryc. That is our earliest record of the game of cricket which to -day is play. ed wherever and `whenever : twenty- two or more 'Britons are 'gathered to- gether„ anywhere between Vancou- ver and' Shanghai or 'Hobart and what have you. The game was orig- inalIy a Saxon one and is typically •so ,to this day in its tenalperame, 11. requirements. Curiously-i;,e ,:°it wats"p1ayed chiefly,by the -Normans, the leisured classes, in the Middle .ages. We .find reference to 'it in King Edward i1I's wardrobe accounts, £6 being appropriated from the Ex- chequer. .It crops up again under Edward IV as'beifg one of the past - times denounced as "Iudos inhonestoa et minus utiles aut valentes" which may be very freely translated as meaning "fixed, feeble and futile." It interfered with that international pastime called war, an arrow being a more dangerous missile than a ball, although in 1751, Frederick, Prince of Wales, a great enthusiast, was hit by a speeding ball and died as a re- sult. Therefore, it was quite natural that when men in 'Great Britain began to cast their eyes'. at the virgin eonti- nents Of America, Africa and Aus- tralia, they took their cricket along with their other virtues to , their adopted lands. The game developed and became very -scientific; records Were made and broken; matches be- -tweet component parts of the Empire' were instituted, and to -day its repre- sents the bond between Britons al- most as much. as the Union Jack. The rules are entirely uniform wher- ever it is played; there are no tariffs, no preferences and no depreciated currencies. 'In Australia from whose shores a party of famous cricketers arrived in Toronto last week to play at the Cricket Club Ground, cricket made great strides. The Australians favored by climate and soil, took up the game very seriously; they com- bined, efficiency_ with enthusiasm and the result is that to -day cricket as played in Australia is second to no- where in the world. A team of Aus- tralians, including several aborigin- als answering to such picturesque names as King Cole, Six-perm•y and Red Cap toured England in the 1860's, interspersing their cricket with acrobatic feats • and hurling spears and boomerangs incredibl distances. Since .then, teams have gone to and fro with great regular- ity and the series of "Test Matches" has taken place every few years.. The Australian crickets at Toronto are worthy bearers of the great tradi- tions of Australian cricket. The' team includes some of the finest •expoa, ents of the game in the entire world. Don Bradman, "thee Bobby Jones of cricket," was :the cynosure of all eyes. This young man, who five short years ago walked on to a cricket field in Sydney, I<V.S.W., with nothing but his, amazing native skill as his equipment, has to -day broke.i nearly every recond in the gar.12. He is a tremendous scorer of run': and a magnificent fielder—something That appeals to any audience. Victor I'.'.ch- ardson, the captain, is a srlcndid all round athlete; like our Lionel' Con- acher, he does everything well and is probably the finest fielder playing to- day. Alan Kippax is a beautiful batsman; even to the uninitiated his strokes seem to be made with effort- less ease, the true harmonization of hand and eye, Stanley McCabe yoninger even than Bradman, is •an- other excellent player. To be just one should enumerate theme all in terms of the superlative were we not constrained by the thought that they come as a team, play as a team and would themselves be the last to wish to bask in the spotlight of publicity. Mention, however, must be -made of Arthur Malley, under whose man- agement the team is touring. Hailey 'is an old friend. He, was here in 1912 and in 1929 became honorary ooa'ch to the Toronto Cricket Club. That year Toronto brought the John Ross Robertson Ct)p, emblematic of the Dominion Championship!, to Ar- mour Heights fol- the first time. He is a great !bowler and has a splendid record in Test cricket. And what of Canada? What chance have we a- gainst such a galaxy? Frankly--q,ot a very big one, although cricket is a game of surprises and anything may happen. Cricket in Canada, and in Toronto 'parti'cularly, has 'been firmly entrenched for more than a hundred years and many fine players have been developed. The, popularity of the game is increasing yearly. There are twenty- six teams playing in Toronto this year—not all equal in strength, hut certainly on a par in enthusiasm ubber St All Kinds.Every.

It will certainly be improved by its close contact with the 'methods of such outstanding players. 1t is very fitting in this, an Empire Year, with the spirit of mutual helpfulness and unity about to find expression in Ottawa so short- ly, that an Australian team should be our .'g'uests. Representatives of two great Dominions will mingle and carry away with them their impres- sions of each other at their best—for where can •men show up better ad- vantage than playing the game up- on which the sun never sets? The spirit of cricket might well be the remedy for the world ills that beset us to -day. . The Story of Sutter's Gold 1834. An American paddle steam- er is making its way from Le Havre to New York. On board is a cer- tain Johann August Suter (later known as John A. Sutter). He is ,11. years old, "and is hastily putting the ocean between himself and the Euroi can courts of law. A barlk, t upt, a thief, a forger, he deserts his ',vile and children and is off over the ',utters to seek a new life. 1829. Sufiter has won moderate ,;access as a farmer in New York, li,tt with the blood of an adventurer in his veins, has pushed on to the .:eeramento valley in California. i here, under a concession from the Spanish governor, he founds a col- ony. Warehouses are 'built, wells dug, the virgin soil sown with seed. Grad- ually the colony grows, for men and women come from neighboring set- tlements. The success of the undertaking beggars description. The crops yield a 500 -per cent. harvest. The gran- aries are palled to overflowing. Soon the herds can be numbered in thou- sands. ,Sutter not only provisions Fort Vancouver and the Sandwich Islands, but he revietuals all the ves- sels putting into California harbors. He plants fruit trees, whose har- vests are later to make the name of California renowned throughout the world. He buys up farms along the coast. At the age of 45, after a lapse of 14 years, he suddenly re- members he has left behind a wife. and family, and writes them to came to his kingdom. He is one of tlw wealthiest men in the world. Fin- ally the United States seizes the country from Mexican control. Ev- erything is now under stable govern- ment. 1848. The month is January. Jas. Marshall, Sutter's carpenter, comes to his master in great excitement. Sut- ter is surprised to see Marshall, fir it was but yesterday that he sent the man to build a sawmill in Col - oma. The fellow pulls from his pocket a handful of sand containing iteeeeeee a few yellow pellets, and explains that he was digging, when suddenly the spade turned up something whir' looked like gold. Sutter tests the pellets; they are; indeed, geld! Early on the following day, Sol- onel Sutter goes to Coloma. They ,empty the mill -race, and test the sand in its bed. A sieve, a few shakings, and the gold nuggets lie gleaming on the dark wires. ,Sutter gathers the men ,around him; he puts them on their -honor not to say a word to any 'one. Then he .rides home, his mind filled with the wild- est thoughts. The ground on which the gold lies so openly is his -ground. •He is he richest man in the world! The richest man? Nay rather, the poorest! Within a week, the secre was a secret no longer. A woman had blabbed. The consequences wers unparalleled. All Sutter's men in. continently left' their work, and be- haved like men possessed, hurrying to the spot with any old sieve and shaking gold from the sand. In one night-time the whole countryside was deserted; the cows bellowed vainly to be milked, herds broke down enclos- ures and stampeded through the crops. Telegraph wires carried the gold( n message across land and sea: Soon gold-diggers are coming from towns and harbors, seamen leave their ships, officials their posts; they come in a long procession; this is the gold rush, the human locust swarm. It is a rabble rout with no law for club law, no ,judge but the revolver. Sutter's cows are slaughtered, his barns de- molished to build shanties, John A. Sutter is little better than a pauper; like King Midas of yore, gold has been his ruin. The stream of gold -hunters grows larger day'•by•lay. From New York, ere long,' 100 vessels have set sail for the west. During the years 1848, 1849, 1850, 1851, incalculable hordes of adventurers come to the land of promise. Every treasure -hunts• makes right for Sutter's broad acres and settles down there as if at home. On Sutter's land now arose the city of Sacramento; strange men haggled over the price of his property, selling it in lots regardless of the unhappy owner. John A, Sutter was once again a bankrupt, and stared in speechless bewilderment at the 'amazing spec- tacle. He withdrew to a part of his estate that was outside the gold dis- trict, away from the unholy sand. It was here that his wife and children at length joined him. His wife died soon after her arrival, but the three lads remained, and with them Suttee set to work once more to cultivate his land. Once again he worked his way up, quietly, tenaciously; and once more he reaped advantage froln. the amazing fertility of the soil. 1850. California had 'become part of the Union. After a period of chaos, order had at last been restor- ed in the gold -mad land. Law had again tome into its own. 11, And then John A. Sutter advanced his great claim. 'Hie declared that all the vast sites where Saeramento, San Francisco, and other mushroom, towns had been erected belonged to him. He set the law in motion and a suit began which for size has nev- er had an equal. He prosecuted the 17,221 squatters who had settled down on his erstwhile estates, order- ing them to quit; he demanded $25,- 000,000 from the State of California. as compensation for all the roads, canals, bridges, locks and dams con= structed by himself, and appropriat- ed by the state; he asked for his share of the royalties in the gold. His eldest son was sent to study law so that he might conduct the law -suit. (in May 15, 1855, judgment is giv- en. Judge Thompson, the highest law officer in the state, admits the justice of Sutter's claim, declares that the huge territories are indisputably his property. This day John A. Sut- ter attains the goal of his ambition: he is the wealthiest man in the work. The wealthiest? Far from it! Fate has; reserved another blow for him. As soon as the judgment become. known, a veritable storm breaks over the state. Ten thousand people bard themselves together, all who heel their property to he threatened; the mob sets fire to the law ceuits, de- stroys the state archives, hunts for the judge to lynch him; the entire property of John A. Sutter is first plundered by the rahbleithen put :o the flames. The eldest son shoote himself; the second is murdered; the third perishes by drowning while at- tempting to journey , back to Europe. With ruthless thoroughness the whole property is made a desert and a desolation. John A. 'Sutter never recovered front this blow; he was a broken man. The fruit of his labors had been destroyed, his wife and sons were dead, his mind -was deranged. One thought alone possessed Justice. For twenty-five years thereafter, an old and doited man in bedraggled attire haunted thetprecincts of the law department in Washington. H� was known as "the general" who, down at the heel, persisted in de- manding his millions. He appeals to the Senate, to Congress. Rigged out in a general's uniform, he trails from office to office, from Congressman to Congressman. One summer afternoon the general is sitting on the bottom step of the great flight that leads to the capi- tol, warming his old carcase in 'the sun. A ragged urchin seanep,ers t,i ward him yelling: "General! Gener- al! You've won! Congress has settled it!" Sutter does not see the little rascals in the background splitting their sides with laughter at the joke. The old Man rises, draws himself to • his full height, and saysbut one word: "Thanks!" Then he falls like a lag to the ground, and John A. Sutter is dead, released at last frons his long martyrdom.
