WM. MURRAY WRITES OF •
RETURN TRIP TO DAUPHIN

Editor The Seaforth News.
Dar Sir,—As you were kind en-
ough to publish my trip from Dau-
phin to Seaforth and again from Sea -
forth Id the cotton fields of Georgia
it would not he anti:ss to complete
same from Seaforth to Dauphin on
my return trip as I travelled over a
different route a good part of the
way. Leaving Seaforth. Sept. 9th on
No. 8, 'my first stop was in Dublin
to say farewell to my .brother Sam
Murray, V.S. At Mitchell I turned
north on No. 23 through Listowel
and oh to Arthur, then on No. 9
through Orangeville and on to
Schomberg, taking No. 27 to Barrie
where we had 'htch, I-Iere I took No.

(lay where we camped for the night
at the Continental Hotel, Leaving
North Bay the following *morning at
daybreak on No. 17 through Sturg-
eon Falls and on to Sudbury for
breakfast. Sudbury and Copper Cliff
is surely a great mining 'l center. Fol-
lowing ,117 on through Algoma Mills
and to Blind River for lunch, thea
on through Bruce Mines to Bar
River where I remained for a few
clays visiting my brother Thomas,
has ,family, and Mrs. Robert Murray
and her family. The highway to
(North Bay is good: the 'balance of
the way is only fair to good in
places. This highway will, no doubt,
in a few years be ane of the finest
in Ontario, as •it is now under repair.
Hills are being cut down and curves
straightened, avoiding as many rail-
way crossings as possible. From Or-
angeville on to Bax River there were
signs of frost ,which nipped the corn,
vegetables and 'flowers in many
places, while in other places there
was no sign of 'frost.
_After 'spending a few days here
with relatives, 1 motored on to Sault
Ste. Marie, accompanied ,by my bro-
ther Thomas, where T remained over
for a day taking in the Agricultural
Fair which 'I enjoyed very much. My
brother- was an exhibitor there of
fruits, vegetables and grain, and was
awarded many prizes.
On the way to Sault Ste. Marie I
called on Mr, and ;Mrs. (John Booth
at Echo Bay, formerly of Harpurhey,
and spent a very ,pleasant hour or
two with 't'h'em,
