Visitors over the past week
in the parish were Mr. Frede-
rick Papineau, of Detroit, his
brother Frank of Windsor, and
Mr. Jerome Masse, also of Win-
dsor. They left on their return
trip on Friday last for their
homes. All three of them are
native born of this parish and
like many others like to pay
a visit to meet old friends and
relatives.
Mr. and Mrs. Donald Baler

and Mrs. Harry Dietrich and

from .Clinton where she under-

improved although it will be
sometime before she is fully
recovered.
The Big Question
Some are wondering how
long the nice weather will greet
us. This particular part of
Western Ontario has really en-
joyed a nice fall, considering
other parts who already faced
cold and blustery weather with
a heavy fall of snow. So far so
good for us, but don't expect
it to last much longer. The
weatherman is tricky and he
will catch up to us and give us
a full quota of wintry weather.
The weather has been ideal for
outside work such as the road
work on this highway. Men
were at work steady with only
a few days lost on account of
rain.

year 1848, by a Mr. Coe, being
the south-west portion about
20 rods or so in width and
clown to the lake frontage, like
all lands surveyed. For a vill-
age, town or city a name had
to be registered and the
name of that survey was Lake
View, that was the name of the
post office, Mail addressed to
Johnstons Mill also reached
this point. In the earlier years
perhaps mail was delivered
only once or twice a week but
later on was hauled in twice
a week as far back as I can
remember.
David Spencer was the post
piaster and also the mail car-
rier from Zurich. Both of the
above addresses were changed
when Cantin founded the city
by the name of St. Joseph. It
was also changed to Zurich
when Rural Routes were est-
ablished.
Much had to be changed re-
gardless of previous survey
when it was changed to the
Cantin survey. I cannot ac-
count where the Johnson Mill
came in being. Perhaps the
Johnsons had great hope for
the Cantin survey and had de -
decided to invest some money
in a saw mill business. That
mill was built at the lake bank
known as Heyrock gully. Their
purpose for building there was
to make sure of a water supply
although the water supply came
from the gully and was dam•
med near the mill. There are
still relics of the old saw mill
piles which were driven in the
ground to nail lumber too, some
are still quite visible. We be-

leive marks of the old roadway
can still be detected.
That Johnson mill carried on
for several years. Logs were
drawn by .oxen near the mill '
yard, much of that lumber was
used for building homes and
other building' in the surround-
ings.
As aforesaid, when the
house had been moved, road
work to the lake completed
and hill cut down and ready
for service, work ceased in St.
Joseph till spring. Lumber
camp work then started. Can -
tin had brought a large tract
of land from Robert Campbell
also from the Schade estate,
which was adjoining. That be-
ing about four miles south of
St. Joseph. The timber was
hauled to St. Joseph during the
winter months where it was
cut and dressed the following
spring and summer' for bulding
purposes. A number of so call-
ed lumber jacks, young and
old, were engaged for the win-
ter months. Of those years,
camps had to be built to house
the jacks, cook camps, also
stables for horses, and an. of-

•
Nelson Masse Sr., and John
Laporte had charge of the
men during the winter. There
were experienced axe men at
that time and it was not too
long before they had the neces-
sary logs cut for building
camps. When all was in readi-
ness three or four of the boys
would pick a log up and place
it for the axe men.
There were at our disposal
skids which would have been
much easier for us to handle
logs with, but perhaps at that
time being young and a little
off balance as to the amount
we could lift which could have
crippled us for the winter.
