Lands, Forests and Mines has made the
announcement that peat call be sold
at $3,50 a ton at any of the bogs much
of the interest will in time be turned to
the peat bogs at the head of the Holland
Rivet, near Lake Sinicoe. According to
1•Ion. Mr. Ferguson, this site is looked
upon as the big ;central source of the
peat supply which will eventually be
used to meet the demands of the popu-
lous part of Central Ontario, including
Toronto, -•Hamilton and other cities.
The estimates already tnade.indicate
that the Holland River bogs contain an
almost inexhaustible supply of peat
as there are some 14,000 acres of
bog land, having in some places a depth
of 12 to 15 feet, The Holland bogs I
provide difficulties in operation not to I
-be encountered in . the• Prescott fields,
as, before the •peat can be mired
successfully it will be necessary to
build' a dam across the lower section of
Coo'k's Bay the estimated cost of which
has been pladed'from $75,000 to $100,
000..
• Even in the face of the high cost of
°peeing up the Holland•fields Hon. Mr.
Ferguson states that this will not stand
in the, way of .the Government mines
offeiing „the fuel at .the figure of $3.50

The extra .capital cost of$75,000 or
whatever it amounts to, can be spread

Editor New Era, Clintuni
Dear Sir: -1 learned recently through
a clipping from the Globe of 1911, giv-
to!t an interview with an old resident
of 'Clinton, that Joseph Scriven, author
1,1 the wellknowu hymn "What a Friend
we have in Jesus," was at one time liv-
ing in or near Clinton, It was at the
tune when the Grand Trunk line was
being carried through to Goderich.
Whether Scriven was employed on the
railway in any capacity or not is not
stated; but he was accustomed to take
his Bible and read it and talk to the
men employed in construction work.
1 wonder if any of your readers has a
recollection of him or has heard of his
living there? There is ail eager demand
for any information about Joseph
Striven following the celebration of
the century of his birth, which took
place in Port (lope on the 10th inst. It
would be interesting to know when he
carte to Clinton and when he left there.
1 ant inclined to think he came there
from Brantford and left for port Hope
after a somewhat short stay, 1 would
be happy to hear from any who may
have hint in memory and can give Ine
their recollections.
Yours Truly,
E, S. Caswell.
Public Library, Toronto.
Some Early History of the Author.
(Woodstock Sentinel -Review): —
Referring to the late Joseph Scriven
who wrote the well known hymn,
"What a Friend we Have in Jesus." the
centenary of whose birth was recently
celebrated, E. S. Caswell, treasurer of
the Beech Avenue Methodist church,
Toronto, writes as follows to the Sen-
tinel -Review: "I have just learned that
the author at one time lived in Wood-
stock. This must have been back in
the Forties. Even so, there they yet
be 1i,<Ing thosewho remember him. i
understand that he came to Canada
sometime about 1844 with a Young
married couple named 'Harvey and that
after a 'somewhat brief residence here,
they and he mored to Brantford. • My
informant has .in her possession •a ;copy
of what evidently is the original version-
of
ersionof 'the 'hymn, differing in some lines
from:'the. .version in use today, and
lacking eight lines .of the latter. -It
is likely that Scriven later revised and
enlarged the. hymn, This early copy
was: written by•the author on the in-
side of a back cover, of a booklet of
manuscript verse, bound by Schiven.
Himself and afterwards „presented (in
the early fifties), to the late Charles.
Bennet, of Stratford, who, 1 think, also
had been 'a resident of Woodstock.
The'hymn was. probably written' in
Brantford. That it was written en the
cover of the book would Indicate that
it was composed subsequent to the
making up of the little work. But we
may yet secure, evidence that it really
was written in your city. 1 will be glad
and so will your readers, to Nave word
from any person who can remember
Joseph Scriven, when he lived in Wood:
stock,"
TO PREVENT
UNEMPLOYMENT
Next year will be well advanced
befo?e Canada's main expenditures for
war, can be completed. Every dollar
that can be raised for the 'Victory loan
1919 will be required,
Although hostilities ceased in 1918
the war expenses went on•
This is just as much a war year a5
last year was, as far as the money is
concerned. Pressing liabilities incurred
by the war and involving vast sums of
money have to be cared for. The
simplest and most profitable manner in
which this can be done is for the people
to provide the money themselves.
The Victory loan 19t9 is entitled to
just as much consideration as was given
to its predecessors. It is up to every,
loyal Canadian to do his utmost, to:
wake the new loan an overwhelming.
success. The continuance of the pros-
perity of the nation is wholly dependent.
upon it. -
It was naturally to be expected that
trade depression in the Dominion would
have followed the armistice but this
was averted by the application of a large
proportion of the last Victory loan as
credits to Great Britain and our Allies
for grain, dairy produce, fish, lumber
and ships. These credits were ab-
solutely necessary, and strictly good
business. Thai/ must be continued,
They are national re-hnvestirttertt5.
The debts will be paid eventually and
In tine meantime industrial and agricul-
tural tvorker•s will be kept in busy and.

Editor New Era, Clintuni
Dear Sir: -1 learned recently through
a clipping from the Globe of 1911, giv-
to!t an interview with an old resident
of 'Clinton, that Joseph Scriven, author
1,1 the wellknowu hymn "What a Friend
we have in Jesus," was at one time liv-
ing in or near Clinton, It was at the
tune when the Grand Trunk line was
being carried through to Goderich.
Whether Scriven was employed on the
railway in any capacity or not is not
stated; but he was accustomed to take
his Bible and read it and talk to the
men employed in construction work.
1 wonder if any of your readers has a
recollection of him or has heard of his
living there? There is ail eager demand
for any information about Joseph
Striven following the celebration of
the century of his birth, which took
place in Port (lope on the 10th inst. It
would be interesting to know when he
carte to Clinton and when he left there.
1 ant inclined to think he came there
from Brantford and left for port Hope
after a somewhat short stay, 1 would
be happy to hear from any who may
have hint in memory and can give Ine
their recollections.
Yours Truly,
E, S. Caswell.

Some Early History of the Author.
(Woodstock Sentinel -Review): —
Referring to the late Joseph Scriven
who wrote the well known hymn,
"What a Friend we Have in Jesus." the
centenary of whose birth was recently
celebrated, E. S. Caswell, treasurer of
the Beech Avenue Methodist church,
Toronto, writes as follows to the Sen-
tinel -Review: "I have just learned that
the author at one time lived in Wood-
stock. This must have been back in
the Forties. Even so, there they yet
be 1i,<Ing thosewho remember him. i
understand that he came to Canada
sometime about 1844 with a Young
married couple named 'Harvey and that
after a 'somewhat brief residence here,
they and he mored to Brantford. • My
informant has .in her possession •a ;copy
of what evidently is the original version-
of
ersionof 'the 'hymn, differing in some lines
from:'the. .version in use today, and
lacking eight lines .of the latter. -It
is likely that Scriven later revised and
enlarged the. hymn, This early copy
was: written by•the author on the in-
side of a back cover, of a booklet of
manuscript verse, bound by Schiven.
Himself and afterwards „presented (in
the early fifties), to the late Charles.
Bennet, of Stratford, who, 1 think, also
had been 'a resident of Woodstock.
The'hymn was. probably written' in
Brantford. That it was written en the
cover of the book would Indicate that
it was composed subsequent to the
making up of the little work. But we
may yet secure, evidence that it really
was written in your city. 1 will be glad
and so will your readers, to Nave word
from any person who can remember
Joseph Scriven, when he lived in Wood:
stock,"
TO PREVENT
UNEMPLOYMENT
Next year will be well advanced
befo?e Canada's main expenditures for
war, can be completed. Every dollar
that can be raised for the 'Victory loan
1919 will be required,
Although hostilities ceased in 1918
the war expenses went on•
This is just as much a war year a5
last year was, as far as the money is
concerned. Pressing liabilities incurred
by the war and involving vast sums of
money have to be cared for. The
simplest and most profitable manner in
which this can be done is for the people
to provide the money themselves.
The Victory loan 19t9 is entitled to
just as much consideration as was given
to its predecessors. It is up to every,
loyal Canadian to do his utmost, to:
wake the new loan an overwhelming.

perity of the nation is wholly dependent.
upon it. -
It was naturally to be expected that
trade depression in the Dominion would
have followed the armistice but this
was averted by the application of a large
proportion of the last Victory loan as
credits to Great Britain and our Allies
for grain, dairy produce, fish, lumber
and ships. These credits were ab-
solutely necessary, and strictly good
