TOE MUSKOKA LAKES. (Notes by the Editor.) To the wr, 'ar - t • 'i business tail. w piz neon ; to the bran -fagged, et v e z ask- ed toiler ; to the woman whose cease- less round of domestic* duties amid summer's heat has well-nigh made life a burden; to the student who has be. cme tired of colleg walls, z ea va is nate ze- Inatics, medicine, theology, etc,,. ete. ; to the elergynuto, whose mental Coli has well-nigh closed the avenues of thought, and to hundreds of others, the word MrSICOR a. has a charm in it that is iudeseribable, 1'lte very name is suggestive; it sug- gests purity of atmosphere; nature's scenery in Its simple beauty, where lake and island and river, shady nook or deeper bay, narrow passage be- tween islands or broad expanse of open water,. with passing sail or river boat, steam or gasoline launch --to vary the scene, and above all it sug- gests that one sweet word--I03ST. .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." (To be continued.) Salem. Mrs. H.

Osterhout gave a short address on the origin, scientific basis, and history of music and its relation . to worship. Many were the encomiums passed upon the work of the choir and the service throughout.

The members of the Quarterly Board with their wives, and other officials of the Methodist Church, went to Wrox- eter on Wednesday evening, and were very pleasantly entertained at the Methodist parsonage. It was also the official business meeting for the cir- cuit. On Monday last, the young wife of Geo. E. Marshall of Turnberry passed out of this life into the life beyond. She had been ailing for some time, and nothing further could be done to help her. Our warmest sympathy goes out to the husband and to the baby of a few months of age, in their great and sudden loss. We regret to hear of the accident to Mrs. Coupland and son. Last Satan' - day, as they were driving home from Wingham, the axle of the buggy broke, causing the spirited driver to run away, pitching the occupants out, and Mrs. C. sustaining severe injuries. We sympathize with them very much, as they have had so much trouble of late. The well known druggist, A. L.

Mr. and Mrs. John Brandon, for- merly of Belgrave, have left their farm and moved to the town of Vir- den, Manitoba. 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. WAC, WitaV, 1906 West Wawanosh. About three or four weeks ago W.

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.
