I When, a few days ago, Hon.

Pour days of personally -on - ducted touring, however, have brought them more enlightenment than any similar period in their lives, and they • are now equipped to enter with knowl- edge and enthusiasm into the most • important development problem that has ever faced the province.' Ministers Were Jovial A train ef five Pullmans, two diners and two special cars awaited tbe. party at •tlie Union Depot on the night, of Monday September 6 About one'hun- dred and forty of the Government's guest e were on hand, and it took them only a few moments to get into their appointed places. In his home dis- • trict the member of the Legislature is a judicious mixture of wise dignity and gerealty, but here the assumed wisdom was forgotten and the patty might have been a Sunday School pic- nic so far. as merriment was concern - mi.

Last November there was nothing on the , spot but brush and forest. In that month the first train %vent through earrying with it proepective purchasers to attend the Government'auction, sale of town Iota. Only the merest indications of •streets and lot lines were in at that time and a. man without imagination •could scarcely conceive the busy littie colleetion of buildings that to -day are called Cocbrane. Right in the 'centre of the townsite stands a beautiful ins tie sheet of water with two points of land from opposite sides alrnost cut- ting it in two. This is Commando Lake, and is beim; reserved along with several acres around it, for a panic. Two banks ate on the ground uoing a whirlwind business and bank of the town farms are being taken up and cleared with. great rapidity. • Real Winnipeg Mud. It wee a rainy dismal morning when the legislative partyreached Code. rane, and the enploring proclivities of the visitors were seriously dampened. The most, distressing feature about the town is glee the most promising. This is the emesistency of the ntud, whieb is of the fine gluey consistency thet • has made the Canadian west famous and infamous. It is the real wheat,- • growing soil of Manitoba, and means fortunes for the farmers. It also • meant small competencies for • the Pullman porters before the legislators get their shoes cleaned. After an hour in Cochrane the train was larokell up and two Pullmans and two flat ears were run over the Trans- continental tracks to the new townsite on the Frederick House Riven ,about seven miles away. This is in a sort of way a rival town founded by pri- vate Interests, and is at •the spot where the Transcontinental. crosses the Frederick House River. It is oc- cupied at present by the construction gangs who are at work on the Mg bridge across the river. Frederick House, as the town will probably be called, is a very promising place and has a very picturesque location on the high banks of the river. It wilt also avoid one of the worst, drawbacks of the new country in that its drain- age is splendid and the epidemics visiting tee unsanitary towns will be • evaded.•, ' "Matheson. and Engiehart. • The stay at the river was very brief and the party, mostly standing wide - legged on flat 'cars were conveyed back to Cochrane, Another brief wait and, after a look et Methesozi, the: train started for Englehart, the divisional Point on, the railway. Englehart takes its name from Chairmen J. L, Englehart of the T, N.O. Commission, and is naturally the pet town of the genial chief. Mr, Englehart has only one hobby, and that is the , eew country. Bat of all the north country there is no place he loves se well as his namesake town. It is just midway bettneen North Bay and Cochrane, and will be one of the big headquarters for railway opera- tives. It has a tine big station, and nearby a little pIot of ground where • noN.

In the little park is also a greenhouse, which promises to. he a minatine bo- • tanical garden. . • When the visitors errived the Engle- hart fall fair was in progress. It was pot an extensive affair. An acre Lot contained the, whole, but there lima not ben an agricultural show, in Can- . ada in many years Which equals the Englehart exhibition. in enthusiasm.

Phe mernbers of the legislative par- ty scattered out oner the fair grounds, while the Cabinet Ministers. made small, talk ivith the civic officials, and it was only a moment before Hon. Frank Cochrane was high on a rail fence, haranguing the multitude in answer to its cheers. For Col. Mathe- son Was reserved the worst fortune of the day. The Provincial Treasurer was roaMing Menet,- thinking no evil, when suddenly a stentorian voiced joker announeed from an eminence that the colonel had consented to act as judge in the baby show. To this moment the colonel does not know whether the baby show was on the • program or only a commit of the mo. merit, Now, if there is a 'crop that they raise better than any other in Upper Ontario it is babies, and the ti. valry is nremendoes. In the wink of an eye. the Minister found himself surrounded by bright-eyed rriothers and crowing babes that made the glory of his bachelorhood seem a wretched thing. Veriest a few sec- onds the responsibility of the judi- ciary rested heavy on him, then he lot his nerve, thrust a dollar hill in the fist of eadh competitor And fled, An hour at Englehart and a start was made for New Liskeard, perhaps the most solid of the agricultural towns of the new country. It is just across Lake Terniscamingae from Haileybury and like the latter town has been a settlement for many years, On the Quebee side of the water the Prerieh villages have existed for over a en - Wry, an New Liskeard is one of the Ontario outcroppings of these settle- ments. fleeeption it New Llskeard. New Liskeard WAS en f3te to wen 011ie the legislators. The town was decorated and a big l'eeption had been prepared in the Presbyterian Church.

A band waa at the station • however, and eeated in vehiclee every aort the party was taken to the church. There in the beeement was an exhibition of gram and vegatablea that would have brought envy to old Ontario farmers. First grade hard wheat, forty bushels to the acre, was shown and excellent veeetables were served to the legislative party for din- ner as earnest of what the country can do under cultivation. That night the train waited at New Lialseard and did not pull out until early Thursday morning. As a result many of the tourists stayed to par- take of the hoapitality of the eitizena and trailed in at all hours in the a morning, to the sound saeltbut and • psaltery and jubilant eliorals. They had cause to rue it at day- • break wben the train pulled up at Isatchforcl, just as dawn was break - end all were ordered out to take the boats for Elk Lane. rrh- Sy toeMMnWo. Montreal .nlAK-FtivAe'r. There are two lines of boats plying between Latchford and Elk Lake and the route they traverse is a wonderful- ly picturesque bit of country, The trip is made in tour seages, rendered necessary by three portages. The first, at Pork Rapids, seven miles up the river, is •a three-minute walk over a spit of land and the break in the route can be rnede navigable in the summer by damming up the stream at the Latchford end. The second one is at • Flat Rapids, twenty-eight Miles further on, and this can be easily dynamited and cleared. ' The third and greatest is Mountain Chutes, three miles beyond, and a lock will be necessary at this poirit Twelve miles remain of the fifty -mile run from Latchford to Elk City. The last- named town and its twin site, Smyth, are beautifully situated at the nar- rowest point of the river and are con- nected by a floating bridge. Slily is a Government site, and Elk en has been privately marketed. Tr years ago tilde was not the nesti of a town, but to -day they are thrt eng little .centres for prospsctots an not a little gardening is being do to supply the mining camps. . • The mayor of Elk City is jack Mun- ro, the famou.s prize-fighter, end down', the riVn at his log bungalow he has established an experimental farm, where all the °aerie vegetables are flourishing as they only can in • a virgin soil.

The citizens entertained on Thurs. day evening at e banquet in one • of the ,,big dining halls in Elk Lake. The • approach was lighted by miners' can- dlesticks thrust into the stumps and. the hall was decorated within with, banners bearing an • expression of - Elk Lake's greatest need -a railway.

Sleep not only rests, but builds up the body. Cut down the hours of sleep, and you cut down health, in the same proportion.

So it was a sleepy crowd that rushed foe the boats in all sorts ,of deshebille at six -thirty on Friday morning. .
