has a charm in it that is iudeseribable,
1'lte very name is suggestive; it sug-

.Cline was when the aboriginal In-
dian roamed the woods of Muskoka,
and regaled himself with the wild
game which then abounded in its
forests ; or as his birch -bark canoe
glided from island to island or from
shore to shore, his quest was rewarded
with ample supplies of fish, with
which, its waters were then well stock-
ed. Possibly, even then, the Indian
looked upward ke i rd and thanked ti ie Great
t
eat
P
Spirit for a heritage so abundant.
But those days have passed. The
woods around the lakes have been de-
nuded of their heaviest timber, though
their shores are still covered with that
of smaller growth ; the forests no
longer abound with game; the finny
tribe are not so plentiful as in years
past. The Indian, too, is passing
quickly. True, he is niet with ocea-
sionally, with his basket of wares..
The 'white nun's trail of railway and
steamboat has brought Muskoka so
near to the city or town toiler, that a
few hours' travel from Ontario's me-
tropolis lands him on the shores of the
heantifnl and far-famed Muskoka
lakes. What was once scarcely
thought of, except as a wild part of
Northern Ontario, is now found to be
a heritage of surpassing beauty, of
picturesque scenery, diversified by is-
land, lake, river and inviting shore.
Muskoka, with its purity of atmos
phere, its invigorating breezes, its
health tonic and its restfulness, is in-
deed a heritage of which Ontario, yes,
Canada, ought to be proud.
The name Muskoka is derived from
the great Huron Indian Chief, "Musa-
quodo," which signifies "clear sky,"
and that is certainly one of the fea-
tures of the district known as "The
Highlands of Ontario." The district
covers many square miles, and is dot-
ted
otted with scores (if not hundreds) of
lakes, of all sizes, lengths, breadths
and depths. The largest and most
beautiful of all these are those known
as "The Muskoka Lakes," namely—
Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau, and
Lake Joseph.
The Grand Trunk Railway direct
from Toronto furnishes excellent fa-
cilities for reaching these lakes, and
several express trains daily convey
hundreds of passengers to their shores.
These disappear, as fast as they come,
to the various summer hotels, board-
ing houses, or private residences on
island or shore.
A few hours travel from Toronto
brings the passenger to the town of
Barrie, prettily situated on Eempen-
feldt Bay, part of Lake Shncoe, and
about a mile froth the divisional point,
Allendale. A short run and the thriv-
ing town of Orillia is passed ; it has
abort 6,000 population, and is situated
on Lake Couchiching.
Twenty-six miles north from Orillia
ye reach G a enhursta rather
scat-
tered town, but possessing some im-
portance, as near it are the two Sani-
tariums for consumptives,Hence the
town has a repelon for healthful-
ness. Here, too, is Muskoka Wharf,
where passengers for the Muskoka
Lakes take the steamer that must con-
vey them to their destination, wher-
ever that may be on the lakes, and the
choice of stopping places is ample.
Upon these three lakes the Muskoka
Lake Navigation Co. has a fleet of
nine steamers of various sizes. The
latest type is the Sagano, just recently
launched and not quite ready for ser-
vice at time of writing. She is 152
feet long and will carry 800 passengers,
is electric lighted, and steered with
steam apparatus. Then there is the
Medora, the Kenozha, the Islander
and others. These are all necessary
for the different routes. One goes to
Port Cockburn, another to Rosseau,
another to Bracebridge, all calling at
the intervening hotels or boarding-
houses, as they may have occasion to
land freight or passengers, or receive
either. Of these stopping places we
counted at least fifty, ranging from
the Royal Muskoka at $3.00 a day to
those of humbler fare and more suited
to slender purses. Good meals are
served an the steamers, which are
kept neat and trim, and the employees
obliging.
But here, at Muskoka Wharf, the
place of embarkation for the Muskoka
Lakes, the southerly point of Lake
Muskoka, we leave our readers for the
present, as the passing mail boat is at
hand, and our notes for this week at
least must close. In next issue we
may ask our readers to accompany us
an thought at least) on our trip
"Around the Lakes."

On Monday last, the young wife of

great and sudden loss.

Editor Wingham Advance :
Dear Sir. --As I am away on those
vast plains, I thought I would drop
you a few lines describing our trip.
Mr. and Mrs. John Wilford of Blyth,
Mrs. Wrayands
myself, left on the3r
f d
Y ,
ofa
J ivia North Bay,and from
that
point to Rat Portagis a continuous•
country of rocks, with scarcely a living
thing, not even wild birds ; the rocks
are partly covered with scrub, and
here and there we pass over a river ;
the railroad is continually winding
around rocks or hills of stone ; these
rocks do not tower up nearly so high
as I expected, but are very hilly, and
not so much as a potato patch to be
seen. From Rat Portage to Winnipeg
the conntry is sparingly settled and is
not a desirable part to live in, owing
to too much water near the surface.
Winnipeg is a fine city, with wide
streets and lovely boulevards, but
keeping away from the C. P. R. works
there is not much doing in the way of
factories. While driving through the
.city with a friend I was surprised to
see so few smoke -stacks, though there
is a great trade doing in the commer-
cial lines, and especially in Eaton's
Iarge store. From Winnipeg to Port-
age Ia Prairie there is a lot of flat, wet
country, and not up to my expecta-
tion; in fact, nearly alI the way to
Brandon is poor country with the ex-
ception of the Portage plains, which is
said to be the garden of Canada.
Where the land is dry it certainly is
good and loaded down with wheat.
Arriving at Virden, we stopped off for
a couple of weeks' visit. The country
around. Lenore and Hamiota appears
to be afirst-class farming district ; in
fact, the best, so far, excepting the
Portage plains. In the district of Le-
nore and Hainiota we met number
of old friends from M.orris, living in a
fine farming country, and among
those farming on one section and over
of land, are --James McIntosh, whose
wife was formerly May Embury, at
one time a resident of Belgrave ; they
have 2,200 acres of land, 900 in wheat ;
Wm. Scott has 1,600 acres of land, 700
in wheat; 'Wm. Pedlow, whose wife
is sister to Thos. Scott of Morris, has
1,100 notes of land, 600 in wheat • Jas.
Falls Brandon, 1,100 acres, 700 wheat ;
Ben. Miller, 640 acres, 2.50 wheat ; Jas.
Scott, 640 acres, 200 wheat; Richard.
Vanalstine, 040 acres, 300 wheat; Gar-
ry Brandon, 640 acres, 200 wheat; Rob,
Vannorman, 040 acres, 200 wheat ; Gil -
bort Embury, and a number of other
Morris and Wawanosh people, are
farming on half and three-quarter sec-
tions, and all apparently doing ,well.
Ono thing is very striking, and that is
the large amount of summer fallow.
All the larger farmers have from 150
to 800 acres of summer fallow; they.
grow two crops of wheat, one of bats
or barley, and then summer fallow ;
that Is about the rotation, but little or
no hay ; oats and oat sheaves take the
place of hay; everything depends on
wheat, and, they all expect from 25 to
80 bushels to the. acre. The land is
valued at about $6,000 per quarter see,
tion. The above-mentioned port of
the country is all under cultivation,
the wipe as Morris or Wawanosh, en-
ceppting low lands. We leave on the
Wit for Calgary and hd nouton.

Hour Mills.
There aro three things necessary to make
good Flour—Good Wheat, a Good Miller, and
ood Machinery. We have these three in
our mill. All the Manitoba wheat we use is
No. 1. This is what "Five Lilies" Flour is
made from. Its strength is not Iessened any
by electrical or any other process to make 11
white, but it is white, pure and healthy in its
own natural strength. So if you wish the
best Manitoba Flour, be sure and get the
FIVE LILIES." Don't be put off with any
other. If your dealer does not keep it, there
aro plenty of others who do.
Our "STAR" Flour is very popular. We
believe it is the best FAMILY I lour on the
market to -day. as it has the qualities for both
bread and pastry. Give your next order for
"STAR" and you will be satisfied.
