Do You Own The site of a Canadian link in the most ancient industry of the Ameri 2as has been laid bare by one of the Dominion's oldest 'sons. rafters mow blackened with age, Montreal huddled largely across what is now Victoria Square. The days wrecking of a solid stone house of Fremch architecture will take place. There is nothing out- It is the location of a "plamt" where the aboriginal inhabitants of the eomntry, eemturies ago, tom flint their weapons of offense and defence, made their instruments of the hunt, and the tools with which they wrought clothing from hides, food from the soil, and warmth from the forests. Disclosure of the whereabouts of this interesting historical landmark is made by Chief Keejick (Day Sky) of the Ojibways. The Chief was born nearly 108 years ago at Trout Lake, Ont., and is one of the oldest inhabitants of the continent. Trout Lake, which is mow ealled Patricia, is approximately 100 miles porth of the National Transcontinen- tal Railway line, and about the same distance east of the western boundary of Ontario. Lost in Dim Past For 300 years the Olibways have roamed that area. White man's his- tory establishes that; but how many centuries before them the Ojibways, or other Red men, paddled the streams, or coursed the forests, is a matter of conjecture, It is not even established if the manufacturing place of stone implements which Chief Keejick exposes was ever used by the Ojibways. He found it for himself and told his grandfather, and the latter--searching a memory that carried him back nearly two centu- ries behind 1928--explained to the eager Chief Keejick that he too, as a young buck, had known of the place, and that even his forebears were familiar with it, Chief Keejick told the story of his find, and of the location of the plant, to John D, Mackenzie, engineer, of Port Arthur, and it is through the latter's courtesy it is repeated, Revealed by Accident It was more than three-quarters of a century ago, and Chief Keejick was out with the hunt for big game, when he came across a large deposit of blue flint such as he had never seen before, He had sighted a pair of Caribou and was tracking them in an endeavor to get within arrow range, They heard him and sped off in the opposite direction, In their frenzy to reach safety one reached a great mosscovered rock, It was too late to turn, and the animal tried to clear it. Its hooves scraped off a large section of moss, and when Keejick came up the glint of the blue flint was dazzling in the sun's rays. Examination showed him that human hands had been there before him, and, as he pushed back the moss with a piece of willow, he eame upon smaller fragments of the rock fash- joned to resemble implements he had 'TIME TABLES | CPR, TIME TABLE, New Schedule taking effect 12.01 am, Sunday, April WL 5.48 am. ily, $a am, Ba 40 a.m, Daily except Sunday, #34 bo.

I have noted through The Star that a number of officers of the National Museum at Ottawa have been looking up antiques of historic interest to Canadians, and wondered if they would be interested in authenticating the old Chief's story." Mr. Mackenzie's interesting sub- mission recalls a page of Canadian history which, while scarcely turned, is already regarded by the majority of those who think of it as a fantas- tic legend of the remote past. . And still about half of the people now alive in Canada were living when massacres took place on this con- tinent. It is hardly 38 years ago that Sit- ting Bull led the Sioux against the settlers of Minnesota, when one day's carnage saw 800° whites laid be- neath the scalping knives of the In- dians, Even later interchanges of utmost brutality--in which the Red men were by no means the only of- fenders--oceurred on the Western Plains, SOUVENIR HUNTERS MAKE USE OF WAITER TO GET SILVERWARE Montreal, Que., Oct, 9.--Souven- ir hunters and college fraternity house "furnishers" were blamed for the disappearance of a large quant- ity of silverware hy a walter in the Toronto Hotel, charged with the theft of tahle articles, Judge La» croix decided the college boys and marauding tourists could not pos- sibly have heen respdnsible for such systematic thefts as the prosecu- tion proved, In pleading on this own behalf the accused argued that the pilfer- ing of silverware from restaurants hy Greek-letter fraternity memrhers for use in their houses had he- come a well established custom here, as elsewhere, Tourists also like to take home knives and spoons as souvenirs of their visit to Montreal, Both of these customs account for heavy losses of silver- ware at all hotels and restaurants every summer, he contended.

"After our conversation," says Mr. Mackenzie, "I asked the old Chief if he would try to gather up some of the pieces of flint when on his next trip to the spot, for the old man still regards the year lost in which he does not get out upon the trail into the haunts of his youth.

For all the child's actions there is a cause and when the cause is found, so will the trouble be eradicated. .

The licenses at $100 are requir- ed by those who go from door to door selling merchandise, such as cloth, domestic utensils, ete. They were suspended by the execu- tive in the spring, following com- plaint from a number of the com- mercial associations here, members of which alleged that the opera- tions, particularly of peddlers who represented houses selling direct to the customer were em¥arassing them in their business, and they considered that the door-'o-door traffic was not bearing taxation in proportion to that assumed by any- one setting up a store and paying the various taxes in which regular merchants are liable. It seems to be the case, after in- vestigation that the city merchant In the last analysis suffers little from peddling.
