the pigeons would come over the lake in flocks that seemed ieer ending people who llv ed on the bluffs overhanging the water v o id arm themselves with hop poles and mow the birds as they too the rise to the higher level m ui cle alexander proud foo who lived at the sixteen near oakvllle told me that on one occasion he went out with an oid blunderbuss and killed a cart load of pigeons with a few shots that was a wonderful old gun and t used to be looked at with great curios ity by the boys it had a flint lock and a bell muzzle it teems to me a bout an inch and a half in diameter the custom was to pour in about a handful cf powder from a powderhorn and about the same quantity of shot of course it scattered all over un andscare and kicked like a mule but it killed everything in front if close enough not far from georgetown there hied a farmer named johnny who used to tell very marvellous stories oneof them was that he loaded up a blunderbuss after the same pattern as the one old sandy proudfoot owned but was afraid to fire it off so he tied lresh b ides several overseers and he pap i was printed on only one ide litre were several of these monster in the herald office each as

how they executed the manoeuvre does not exactly appear at this time of writing but the echo of thecheen can toe heard al this dis tance and the roars of laughter of the spectators the announcement that a large paper mill is to be ereoted in the prov ince of saskatchewan for the manu facture of paper from straw which is pretty moch of a waste product on the prairies recalls the fact u it has not already been mentioned in these notes that in the late fifties or early sixties very extensive experiments were made in he barber paper mills at the credit by a mr clemow of ottawa in th manufacture of straw paper but as far as i canrememberwlthoutconspicuous success at any rate very little if am straw ppper was made there then or since some years later straw paper was made at the dpn mills

peter ackert who had listened to the story i believe that you are lying and that was the general impression johnny was a captain of mllltla and there was always a training on the queens birthday so that company was caled together in georgetown and as traj be imagined it took a good deal of the old stuff to get them in shape for the evolutions of which the captain r mself partook freely at high
