The person who goes! by C. P. R. from Toronto to Western Canada is almost sure to fee) that he would not take the whole or any part of Muskoka, Parry Sound, or Algoma free of incumbrance and be forced to live there. From the railway one sees a great quant- ity of rock and small timber, great for scenery but poor for agriculture, Now while it is not to be compared to our fer- tile Western Ontario. there are plenty of very comfortable homes with schools and churclibs about as conveniently located as down here. Most of the Methodist and Presbyterian congregations are united and the arrangement works out very sat- isfactorily, For the energy and capital invested returns from farming are as en� couraging as here. Wood sells for a good price. Pulp wood, 4 feet long, bringing $2 per cord standing and from.'seven to fifteen per cord delivered on creek or water ac- cording to quality, Spruce being most valuable. nearly all other woods being taken however. I am told that a cord makes a ton of pulp and is then worth $160, This looks like quite a margin for the company but the expense of operating a mill is very heavy. I saw more sheep in a day's drive in New Ontario than I would see in a month in Western Ontario, Lambs are butcher- ed on the farm and shipped to the Soo at 'IS cents per pound, Sheep at 10 cents. Hogs are also killed by the old fashioned method of a bee of the neighbors. Hay is one of the best crops in the north, Timothy growing as high as a man. Alsike seeds itself and makes splendid mixed hay. Potatoes will yield a splendid crop. Apple trees do not do well on the north shore where no beech trees grow but there are nice orchards on St. Joseph's island, where I spent a week. Fruit trees and strawberries do well there.' One man told me he sold $500 worth of strawberries from .1 acre. The island is a great summer resort having a large number of coitages along the shore, It is only a few hours run to Sault Ste. Marie by boat. At the Soo the principal industry is the Algoma Steel Plant which gives emyloyment to several thousand employees. At every place I stopped enquiries were made by everyone I met regarding friends and relatives in Huron and Bruce until you would think as the Indian did who said Ontario not much place Huron and Bruce heap big, many people come from there. At Webbwood I called on Frank VanNorman a brother of our own Vans, and at Bruce Mines I met J. A. Horricks who is married to a sister of Wesley and Jonathan Pattison of this town. At Dean Lake, Win. Beharriel, formerly of James. town has a splendid general store business, In conclusion I would say wood is plent- 1 iful for fuel, water is plentiful and good, the lake water blue and clear and good to drink. I might just say that one drop of foul matter in your well would mean more pollution than all the sewerage of the north in Lake Superior. People up there may not have modern improvements the same as here but they are comfortable and happy and know how to make you feel at home. For real hospitality and that fellow -feeling they have us beaten. Yours, T. R. Bennett.

The person who goes! by C. P. R. from Toronto to Western Canada is almost sure to fee) that he would not take the whole or any part of Muskoka, Parry Sound, or Algoma free of incumbrance and be forced to live there. From the railway one sees a great quant- ity of rock and small timber, great for scenery but poor for agriculture, Now while it is not to be compared to our fer- tile Western Ontario. there are plenty of very comfortable homes with schools and churclibs about as conveniently located as down here. Most of the Methodist and Presbyterian congregations are united and the arrangement works out very sat- isfactorily, For the energy and capital invested returns from farming are as en� couraging as here. Wood sells for a good price. Pulp wood, 4 feet long, bringing $2 per cord standing and from.'seven to fifteen per cord delivered on creek or water ac- cording to quality, Spruce being most valuable. nearly all other woods being taken however. I am told that a cord makes a ton of pulp and is then worth $160, This looks like quite a margin for the company but the expense of operating a mill is very heavy. I saw more sheep in a day's drive in New Ontario than I would see in a month in Western Ontario, Lambs are butcher- ed on the farm and shipped to the Soo at 'IS cents per pound, Sheep at 10 cents. Hogs are also killed by the old fashioned method of a bee of the neighbors. Hay is one of the best crops in the north, Timothy growing as high as a man. Alsike seeds itself and makes splendid mixed hay. Potatoes will yield a splendid crop. Apple trees do not do well on the north shore where no beech trees grow but there are nice orchards on St. Joseph's island, where I spent a week. Fruit trees and strawberries do well there.' One man told me he sold $500 worth of strawberries from .1 acre. The island is a great summer resort having a large number of coitages along the shore, It is only a few hours run to Sault Ste. Marie by boat. At the Soo the principal industry is the Algoma Steel Plant which gives emyloyment to several thousand employees. At every place I stopped enquiries were made by everyone I met regarding friends and relatives in Huron and Bruce until you would think as the Indian did who said Ontario not much place Huron and Bruce heap big, many people come from there. At Webbwood I called on Frank VanNorman a brother of our own Vans, and at Bruce Mines I met J. A. Horricks who is married to a sister of Wesley and Jonathan Pattison of this town. At Dean Lake, Win. Beharriel, formerly of James. town has a splendid general store business, In conclusion I would say wood is plent- 1 iful for fuel, water is plentiful and good, the lake water blue and clear and good to drink. I might just say that one drop of foul matter in your well would mean more pollution than all the sewerage of the north in Lake Superior. People up there may not have modern improvements the same as here but they are comfortable and happy and know how to make you feel at home. For real hospitality and that fellow -feeling they have us beaten. Yours, T. R. Bennett. The Late Mrs. Jane Helena Brandon From the Brandon Daily Sun we take the following which has reference to a former resident of Belgrave and one who will be kindly remembered by many of our older readers. t "A happy release from paiti was granted Mrs. Jane Helena Brandon aged 70 years, w 0 pasqe away on Saturday at the homeofherson, Mr. R.
