bor when marine insurance goes into

THE HURON ROAD
(By Ls I. Atchison in the London
Free Tress),
Oollowing the /Napoleonic Wars;
George who was then reigning
in [England, granted to one of his
oyat stetiljects a grant of land.isa
the INew World on the shores of
Lake Huron, in what was then Upper
Canada. Most closely associated with
She history of Huron County from its
earliest settlement to the present .day
and most intimately identified with its
',manifest destiny" and •Manifolcl mat-
erial interests ,was the Canada Com -
Pally, a ,htsge land monopoly of iEng-
lish capitalists. /John Galt, the Scotth
writer, and father of /justice (Gait ,and
Alexander T../Galts was 'the origioator
of this company, fa which Lords
,Goderich and !Colborne, /Gen. Cock-
burn aftd Col. Sir Tohn Howley were
influential sharebblders, as well as
Messrs. Bidd.ulph, Bosattquet, 134ans
ahard, Davidson, Downie, Easthope,
(Ellice, Fullerton, Galt, Hay, Hibbert,
Hullett Logan. MdGillivray,
MdKiI-
bop. Stanley, Stephen, Tuckersmithe
(which was always spelled as two
words), Usborne, W.illiams and oth-
ers, after which many of the town-
ships in the old Huron Tract were
named.
The ,first highway constructed, or
rather 'chopped, through the old
Huron Di -strict .wa's the still more an-
cient /Huron 'Road, which was, survey-
ed through front Stratford in 1/826 by
the Canada .Company's engineers, tin-
der the direction of Or. Dunlop, who
was at that time "acting under it ems
ing commission from the company."
The superintendent of the Canada
Company's .affairs in Canada at this
time ivas galls Galt, the originator of
the company. He was subjected to all
the impediments and restrictions
which a court of directora, utterly ig-
norant of the nature and needs of the
district which they had sent him out
from :Eng,land to develop, could well
impose. His every .step was jealously
watched, and his every expenditure ia
the company's interests was criticized
by an over -exacting court Hence, the
Huron Road was not put in as good
condition hy any means as it would
have been had Mr. Galt's enterprise
and liberality been allowed full scope.
As the Canada Company at this time
shut off their money supplies, Mr.
•GaIt was obliged to resort to the
company's land, of which he still held
control, as an article with which to
pay the contractor. Col. Van Esmond,
and he, in turn, was obliged to pay
his snb-contractors in the same cons-
modity,
The history of the District of Hur-
on is it political constituency dates
from the liirst parliamentary election
of 1/835. The opponent of Capt. 'Dun-
lop was Col. Anthony 'Van Egmond.
The first point of 'contact of this
road with the present County of Hur-
00 at the southeast corner vf Mc-
Killop Township, whence it took its
course along the southern /boundaries
of MCKillop and Mullet and through
the southern part of ,Goderich TOW11-
an almost direct line with God-
erich harbor; consequently, its origin-
al location in the eicinity of the town
was further south than in 1,870. It was
over this road that most of the early
oattlers came in, many of them before
it was chopped out, until whieh4time
the "blazed" trees were the only
guide -boards.
The next important highway con-
structed was the .Goderich and Lon-
don road. running from the former
lace, through ,Clinton. Brucefield and
Exeter. to London. This road was cut
through by the Government but its
construction was only imperfectly ac-
eomplislied until it was assumed some
years later by the county, who gravel-
ed it ill what they termed second-class
style. 1,1-olit 'Brucefield they construct-
ed two branches—the one to Bayfield,
on the shore of Lake ;Huron, and the
other through Seaforth and Brussels
to Wroxeter, both of these branches
being 'constructed in first-class .style
and toll -gates placed thereon. The
onlY Private -corporation who ever
controlled Huron County roads was
the Northern Gravel Road Company,
and the only road owned by them was
the iGoderich and Lucknow highway,
22 miles in length. The county lboaght
out this road, and in i11970 abolished all
toll-g,ates throughout the ,county.
Before lea the railroad, entered the
county at the .town line /of Hibbert
and Tuckersmith, and ran through the
tatter and the Township of ,Goderich
to the town of -Goderich.
In IBM in a very few instances, the
bogs and swamps which separated the
embryo settlements remained to tell of
the lack of facilities of intercommuni-
t'ation and to remind us of one of the
many disadvantages under which the
Huron pioneers la bored; while the
splemlid highways on all hands ob-
servable are existing monuments of
the energy. perseverance and well-cli-
meted industry of those who have

Eggs
!Eggs can be served so tastily in the
ordinary ways in which they are used,
such as boiled, poached or fried, that
many people may not realize the
great adaptability of this food and
that it can .be used as •the basis of a
Wide variety of dishes. However, with
the true food value of eggs becoming
better understood as a result of nutri-
tional research, new ways of prepar-
ing eggs are of interest. Here are a
few dishes in which they may be
served.
French Omelet
Beat the egg,s with a Sark, adding
one tablespoonful of cream and one
of water for each egg used. Into a
heavy frying pan. put plenty of but-
ter and let it get sizzling hot. Then
pour in the .eggs and lessen the heat.
Immediately start shaking the pan
back and forth, and roll the omelet
as soon as the „edge is firm and .while
it is still wet. The inside of the ome-
let cooks while it is being 'removed
from the pan. To roll the omelet, lift
one edge and roll it over. Tilt the
skillet in the ‘direction the omelet
is to be rolled, and assist in the roil-
ing with a spatula or knife. Slip the
omelet from the skillet to it hot plat-
ter and garnish.

Macaroni Dishes
During .Lent, the more or less re-
stricted rangetof foods taxes the in-
genuity of the homemaker in creating
varied and attractive meals. The foods
most comtnon during the Lenten sea-
son as staples of the menu are fish,
eggs. cheese, vegetables, milk, macar-
oni, spaghetti, and egg noodles. The
last three are included in Canadian
macaroni products, for the manufac-
ture of which the name of the Dom-
inion is now .becoming famous.
Macaroni products require a mini-
mum of time and labour to prepare.
They should be boiled in plenty of
boiling salted water, and they combine
naturally with other foods, such as
milk, cheese, eggs, and ,vegetables.
