Arranged for "merited-late Hockey iffMINIStNCES , OF HURON COUNTY - By R. H. Leishman I have just fihisheel reading the lax& entitled 'Pioneer DaYa in Huron" ,by James Scott. No doubt ,Mr. Scott is quite accurate in his historical facts, The book deals Principally With the settlers who bought their lead. from 'the Canada Company, but we must remember that only a small proportion of the lend la Huron ever belonged to the Canada Company. There Were Many of the older • settlers who came in and took up Crown land independently of 'any' land com- pany; these, I, 'think, were the real builders, of our. Country.. my younger days I have, talked with many of these old timers who could tell long stories of the hardship and privations which thee; endured in the early days. For ' the most part the settlete of 'Huron County were 'anilararits train 'the British Isles'who came in during the WO's and -40's: After spending several weeks crossing the ocean as steerage passengers they landed in 1Vaintreal. a. There, they were herded like cattle through the'immigration depart- exat, then shipped by smaller eraft to Toronto an other waterfronts, there to begin the final and tedious journey overland, mostly on foot or by ox-cartamtil they arrived at their claims. Mr., James Elliot told me that he once drove a yoke of oxen up Yorige Street," Toronto, drawing a load of, hay. Re settled in Oxford County, afterwards coming north to Huron. Another man who was offered two tote where the city hall now staads, for the price of a load of hay, thought, the. land too wet for farming pur- poses. Many 'of these old settlers, when they got to their location, had nothing but an axe, The first task, of course, was to build a eabin. As far as possible they selected a spot near a stream of water;, there they began the job of hacking down the trees and shaping the logs for the walls of their build ings. TO build a log house was by no means a Simple task; it was really a work of art. The Jogs had to be dovetailed on the ends and fitted properly at the corners so that each bound the other, then the walls had to be chinked up and plastered with mud or clay, Many of the meh 'of that day were skilled axemen and became adept at the building trade, A . very pleasant evening was Spent in BIyth, L.O.L. hall last Tuceday with a large attendance, when R.W, Sir Kt, Harold Watson, Grand Master of Ontario West, and other Sir lata of London, were present for the annual meeting, The Grand Master gave a very interesting and informative ad- dress. He challenged members to let their be an example to their fellowmen by Word, thought and action, Be said by so doing it would assure the L.O.L. of the admiration' and respect that the Christian Order rightly deserves. He mentioned the' many Precep- tories he had visited and spoke of the north country where members travel as far as 75 miles to attend meetings, Other speakers were Sir Kt, Walker, London and Sir Kt. La- londe of London, acting Coanty Master of Middlesex, owing to the illness of R.W. Sir Kt. Troll El- liott, aunty Master and Grand Secretary of Ontario West, The W.P., R.W. Sir.
