Attend Flesherton Fall Fair Value of Precise Levelling Aids in Opening up Country and Establishing Industries Means of Commimication ALITITUDE, STATIONS ON THIS C. P. R. LINE! The carrying of mean sea level da- tum to the interior of a country, that is the determination of the exact height above sea level by means of a precise levelling instrument, is a work of the utmost importance. In Canada the precise control of the Geo- detic Survey is used as a basis for nearly all the other surveys that are carried on in the Dominion, and by this means a great saving to the people of Canada is effected. By the projection of these accurate lines of levels into new territory, important developments such as the construc- tion of railways, dams, water-power plants, drainage and irrigation syst- ems, and the opening up of mines, may be carried forward to completion without the same necessity of i-unning * complete individual surveys for each new work and at the same time with- out the posisbilities of errors which these indipendent surveys woiild in- volve. Thus if the state did not undertake this work development would be greatly retarted and the ad- ded expense when works were com- pleted would necesasrily mean a heav- ier burden to all the people. The necessity for exact surveys is everywhere recogrnized and it is the aim of the different organizations entrusted with Canadian surveys to attain as nearly as economically feasible to absolute accuracy. Mean sea level is determined by means of gauges maintained by the Tidal and Current Survey, Department of Ma- rine and Fisheries, at such points as Vancouver and Prince Rupert on the Pacific coast, and Halifax, Yarmouth and Father Point on the .\tlantic. Starting in from the sea coast the the levelling engineer, %%ilh his spirit level, proceeds inland by means of consecutive sighting stations, deter- mining as he groes along j^st how far above sea level each new station is. 1o i-eiain for all future use the re- sult of his levelling, at points suffic- ient in number for public service. he sets in solid rock or masonry, or in concrete piers erected for this pur- pose, a series of copper bolts or tab- lets to bear a chisel mark, the eleva- tion of which he has determined, and which is included in published tables • •\t elevation. The records thus estab- lished are technically known as bench- ijlkfks. l^us the precise levelling goe^ .<u^ard and the result is an ocean to oik.'^<t net of accurate data, placed at the convenient command of the public. Since the inauguration of precise tevelling by the Geodetic Survey seme eighteen years ago good pro- gTMS has been nude and approxi- The subject of the; following scetoh from the Waikerton Telescope died there recently. He was well known all over this district as a pioneer minister of the Episcopal Methodist church before its amalgamation with the Wesleyans: Mr. Sanderson's career has fol- lowed the best traditions of the ear- ly circuit riders, of which he was one, in its ceaseless industry. In- deed he reminded one of his distin- guiahe<l namesake who throughout a long lifetime made every moment count from waking dawn until slumbering eve. The guiding thought of his life would seem to be: "Go labour on; si>end and 1>e spent, thy joy to do the Father's will; It is the way the Master went, should not the servant tread it still." Though nominally out of the active work for a few years Mr. Sanderson supplied the pulpit at Greenock every Sunday for seven years, assisted at pastoral work in the town, has been ever at the call of local organizations for any activ- ity that makes for good citizenship, and in his spare moments up to last year has been busy at his garden plot and few acres of ground in the East Ward where he has spent many happy hours on his miniature farm. The starting point of Mr. Sand- erson's life-work began away back in the pioneer bush of Sheffield Township in Addington County, not far from Napanee, where he receiv- ed the early home training from pios parents, that laid the founda- tion for his life and character. .\t , the age of IG he went into the virgin bush in Frontenac County, made a clearing, built a log-cabin, planted some potatoes and prepared the way for the other members of the family who shortly afterwards followed. A ' small settlement grew and very ' soon a circuit riding preacher began to hold religious service at inter- ! vals in one of the shanties. Young Sanderson soon had a part in the work of exhorting and became a lo- cal preacher. Having once heard and answered the call to his life work he set about providing for his fur- ther education, which began a cou- ple of years later at Oakwood High School. Mr. Sanderson was received into the active ministry of the Metho- dist Episcopal church in 1868. his first field being in Minden. in what ' was then Victoria County, but now Haliburton, He was by no means cramped for territory. His circuit was 30 miles long and 15 miles wide. ed to Osprey and during his long it- ineracy has held pastorates at Mea- (ord. turnings Milb, Garafraxa, In- vermay, t^ugenia Falls, Thornbury, Creemore. Blantyre, Teeswater, Wiar- ton, Walters Falls, Corbetton, Dob- inton, Etien Grove, Teeterton, and Eramoaa. His preaching has not been of the showy variety but a plain earneiit exposition of the gospel which after all ministers are beginning to find out is the kind uf food that the hungry multitude U for. Every- where he has gone, his earnest devot- ed life and work has won the love and respect of his people. He has found joy in his work and delight in every opportunity to do good. AN INSURANCE FAKIIL There is at least one young man in Shelbume who will in future be a little more canny about listening to the pleadings of foreign agents for life and accident insurance. One day quite recently one of these gentr>- dropped into town and sttaightway luidertook to do bu:>iiirs.-s. lie talke-J ^.uentiy and i>c'r-.uasively induced one uf the young business men tu ' invest in what looked like a profitable accident in.'iiu-ance policy in a Toronto j company. One of the stipulations 1 attached was that the first premium j was to be paid forthwith. Asked to show his collection credential they were produced and appeared satisfac- tory and the premium, amounting to j $17.00, was promptly paid and a receipt given therefor. The agent ; then took his departure. .Aft«- wait- • Ing some days for the return of the I policy the Shelbume young man communicated with the headquarter!- j of the firm in Toronto, only to find j that the company knew nothing I whatever of the matter, and the ' name of the man who gave the receipt for the money was not in their em- ploy. The gent who got away with the money posed as a jam traveller. , but handled insurance, so he said, as a sideline. Needless to add, our local investor has i;vx>d reasutts tu feel aor* and vows that he will he a little mor^ future. â€" Shelburae Fr*e . t-aunou:» in I Press. BITS OF F<X)LISHNESS.

In the permanent record- ing of this work some 5,500 bench- marks have been established, there- by bringing many isolated levelling projects to an accurate sea level da- tum and paving the way for the in- inauguration of future projects. The altitudes on the Toronto-Owen Sound line of the C. P. R. were given out recently and the following is the list of the altitudes at each station: â€" Toronto Union 254; Parkdale 305; West Toronto 394; Weston 427; Emery 520; Woodbridge 664; Kleinburg 709; Bolton 835; Mono Road 973; Caledon 1356; Melville 1326; Orangeville 1395; Fraxa Jet. 1613; Laurel 1618; Crom- bies 1600; Shelbume 1625; Melancthon There were eight different preaching 1660; Corbetton 1661; Dundalk 1700; Proton Station 1584; Saugeen Jet. 1556; Flesherton 1557;Markdale 1357; BflB-kley 1330; Holland Centre 1212; Ghatsworth 944; Rockford 913; Owen Sound 586 feet above sea level. It will be seen that the highest point between Toronto and Owen Sound is at Dundalk. Really the highest point is one mile north of Dundalk where the altitude is 1706 feet above sea level. The Oshawa Telegram published by the .\lger Press, has reverted to three issues a week, instead of daily. The reason is said to be due to the high cost of publishing. The Ontario re- former, Oshawa, also publishes three days a week. A daily paper has a different time of it in a small city, just as a weekly generally has in a small village. At Turkey Point, near Simcoe, a six-passenger car backed over a cliff and fell some 200 feet to the flats below.

His route covered nearly fifty miles. Part of the distance he rode on horse- back, part by road cart, and some- times by canoe. The roads were mostly but a trail through the bush. His trusty little mare was good at jumping the trunks of trees but oc- casionally a wide detour had to be made. \t one clearing along the way the cart was kept and here the saddle was left for the return journey. One section of the route was over a log road and Mr. Sanderson improvis- ed a jumper from two long poleo which took the place of the cart over tjhis primitive thoroughfare.' The jumper, which was constructed of two cedar pieces about 12 feet long, was held together by three or four cross pieces like a ladder. It was something like a sleigh and made a very useful means of locomotion, es- pecially in winter. In those early days in the backwoods the visit of the itinerant cleargyman was quite an occasion and in most homes he was made more than welcome. The sett- lers were hungry for religious in- struction and encouraged the preach- er, who was sharing with them the hardships of pioneer life, was able to leave a message suitable to their in- dividual needs as he passed along.
