TARIO, -- \ Through the Influence of the Good ' Road's Movement -- Some Early History of Celebrated Old; Ontario Roads. Maude Benson, in Toronto Globe. Through the influence of the wool roads movement which for the past de- cade or two has swept over Omtario, one by one the old-time toll-gates have been abolished. These guardian angels, 'as it were, of the well-being of roads and bridges have served their time and purpose, and to the younger generation of Ontarians are even now unknown quantities; but the toll-gate of the past was a very important fac- tor in the develo t of the country. In the early pe public funds for. roads and road-making were scarce, and no systematic expenditure for maintenance could be depended on af- ter the rudely-constructed roads had been opened up, hence the importance of the toll-gate. Prior to the coming of the white men the wilderness was simply penetrated by Indian trails, which lead in the direction of hunting and fishing grounds or the route of the war-path., These old trails were the first channels followed by the trader and the zealous Jesuit. Often, however, even these rude trails were wanting, and _the adventurer was ob- liged to make progress by batteau or canoe, following the windings of riv- ers and lakes. With the incoming of the Loyalists the necessity of roads became imperative, and the sturdy old settlers accordingly set . themselves to this task with a will and determina- tion, but many discouragements await- ed them and many obstacles stood in the way. The formation of roads was a slow process. First, simply a blazed path was made through the forest from one settler's clearing to that of another; this in time became a bridle path, which was widened later on into a waggon road. This in * a great measure accounts for the irregu- lar course followed by many of our main travelled roads. When the sur- vey of the country was made space was set apart for roads, but often this was not utilized for the purpose until years after, and even now "road al- lowances" in many places have never been opened up, In 1793 an act was passed "to regu: lite laying" out, amending and keeping in repair the public highways and roads." This specified that all roads were to be not less than thirty nor more than sixty feet wide. Each set- tler was required to clear a road across his lot, but no provision was made for the clearing of a like road across the many clergy and crown re- serves, Another cause of grievance in these early days was the non-residence of owners and consequent pon-im- provement of large land grants. These owners preferred to let their lands n- crease in value through the irfiprove- ments made on surrounding lands by actual settlers. This has always been a grievance in all newly-settled coun- tries, but so: great-did. this grievance become in Untario, Gourlay tells us, that at a meeting of yeoman held at the village 'of Waterloo, Kingston, February 2nd, 1818, the following ex- pression' was made use of and goes to show the bitter feeling which existed at that time against such a state of things : "Such lands remain, like a putrid carcas, an injury and a nuis- ance to all around." Later, in a general report of the midland district, Thomas Markland said : "The same cause which has sur- rounded Little York with a desert cre- ates gloom and desolation about Kingston. I 'mean 'the seizure and monopoly of the land by the people in office and favor. On the east side, particularly, you may travel miles to- gether without passing a human dwel ling; the roads are accordingly host abominable to the very cates of this the largest town in the province." The . Bovernment was very slow in supplying the money for roadmaking, but with the coming of Governor Sim. toe a great military road was planned the road which to this day bears the name of "the York Road." The origi- nal road, however, followed the shore of the Bay of Quinte to Adolphustown thence by ferry to the Lake-on-the- Mountain in Prince Edward and then, striking the old Indian trail, it pass- ed on up through on the county to the Wasting Brain and Nerve Force And Undermining Health By Use- less Worry -- Néw Vitality Obtained By Using _ Brain and nerve force is squandered In a way. which would be utterly con- demned in the use of money.

The history of journalism includes no more startling story of rapid pro- and development of the gigantic news- paper combination founded and con- trolled by Lord Northcliffe. Eighteen years ago--on June 12, 1888 --appeared the first number of a small penny weekly, entitled Answers to Correspondents. It was manaced ahd published in one small upstair room at 26 Paternoster Square, London. Al- fred Harmsworth was proprietor, man- ager, editor and publisher combined in one. His capital was the very modest sum of £1,750, and the circulation of this new venture for. the first week was 18,000 copies, Mammoth Total Circulation. From this small beginning has grown with unexampled rapidity the business of the Amalgamted Press, Limited, owning forty weekly and monthly pa- pers and magazines with a circula- tion which the weck before writing amounted to 6,083,320 copies, in spite of the fact that the present season is an exceptionally dull one in the Eng- lish publishing world. The net profits of this business have grown 'by leaps and bounds, from the first annual report in 1890, when they amounted to £1,097 3s. 1d., until they have reached the gigantic amount of £270,012 8s, bd. in a single year. It must be borne in mind that these fig- ures do not include any of the daily newspapers controlled by Lord North- cliffe. Ideas That Won. Answers owed its continual existence to a series of most brilliant journalis- tic efforts. Free trips to Paris were offered as prizes to its readers, and the English public was startled by a series of original and unprecedented offers culminating in a prize of £1 a week for life, which was won by a soldicr. Answers were soon placed on a permanent footing, and then the founder began to set in operation the principle of combination which has since been so largely followed and imitated throughout the publishing world. One of the secrets of the gicantic success of the Amalgamated Press has been that as soon as a periodical is well established it shall nurse a daugh- ter paper. When this has gained its footing the two combine 'to introduce apd carry on a third, and sv on. It will be readily seen that this system of co-operation and inter-advertising is capable of almost infinite development and that the otherwise inevitable enor- | mous cost of "booming" a new publi- cation--which has been the secret of the premature death of so manv jour- gress than that afforded by the rise LION DOLLARS PROFITS A YEAR AR! More Harmsworth Papers. After the establishment of two comio journals, in November, 1891, was pub- lished the first number of Forget-Me- Not, the leader of a series of highly successful papers, devoted to women's interests, among which are included Home Chat, Home Circle, the Wom- an's World, the Girl's Friend, and the recently issued monthly magazine, the World and His Wife. In 1892 after two enlargements of premises a large printing works was founded under the name of the Geral- dine Press, This was the first of the seven huge establishments, fitted with the most up-to-date plants. which are now encaged in printing the various Harmsworth publications. The same year saw the commencement of a ser- ies of weekly papers for boys. Religious Papers. In July, 1894, the firm published the first number of the Sundav Compan- ion, g religious journal, made interest- ing to the general body of the people. Its success was immediate, and it is now the largest circulated religious journal 'in the world. The new depart- ment thus founded has subsequently produced the Sunday Circle, Sunday Stories, the Home Companion, Golden Stories, Horner's Weekly, Horner's Pocket Library and taken over an old established weekly, Horner's Stories. A Phenomenal Success In July, 1898, Lord Northcliffe founded the London 100,000 copies with its second number, .a success without equal in the history of magazine production. an A special edition of the "Lon- don". Magazine for Canada and the States has been ordered by the Toronto News Co. for all the branches of the American News Company, and will be published here by. C. H. Murray. Other monthly magazines issued by the firm include the Connoisseur--the leading illustrated magazine devoted to art and collecting--and the World and His Wife. This last, which was first issued in November, 1904, was conceived on entirely novel lines and at once attracted widespréad interest, In October of last year The Harmsworth Seli-Educator was published in England, and has already found its way into more than half a million British homes. On December 14th, a special edition for Canada was published here by C. H. Murray, and met with a sensational success. So great has been the demand that arrangements are now being made to supply orders in the States Magazine, - which reached a circulation of 1;« i 'not avail itself PUBLISHING BUSINESS IN THE WORLD The Harmsworth Publications the Amalgamated These are but a selection of publications of the Press, Limited. Profitable Mediums. As advertising mediums the Harms- i first in Fagland® aml the United States, that no large advertising enterpriso which makes its appeal to the Anclo- Saxon races can succeed which does of the very powerful help afforded by the newspapers and other publications = controlled by Lord Northcliffe. No group of publi cations shows so gigantic a revenue from advertisements, a fact which points unijuestionably + to one con- clusion. First Harmsworth Daily. It was in September, 15894, that Lord Northelifie embarked upon the enterprise of daily newspaper publica- tion by purchasing the Evening News, which is now London's chief half- penny evening paper. It had previous- ly passed through a very chequered career, at least £190,000 having been sunk in it by its various proprietors. LORD NORTHCLIFFE Founder of the Largest Publishing Business in the World the capable management of Kennedy Jones, the circulation has steadily risen from next to nothing, until it now stands at over 300,000 copies daily; "while the profits have risen : i i from a minus quantity to aver £44,000. worth publications stand ale | rank, and it is a recogni: t, both per annum. The Evening News is recognized as being the best advertising medium among all the British evening news- papers. From May 2nd, 1904, to April 20th, 1905, this being the last six months of last year's financial period and the first six months of the present financial year, the number of advertisements apjpearing in the Even- ing News amount to 65,815, covering 67,487 inches of space. Of these, no fewer than 42,202 were "small" ad- vertisoments, a line of husiness which the paper has largely developed." The Daily Mail. Early in 1894 Lord Northeliffe com- menced planning The Daily Mail, which is recognized throughout the world as England's smartest and most go-ahvad paper. From the first, it was resolved that the mew service of The Daily Mail should surpass every nalistio ventures-- is very largely that will reach half a million Under the new regime, things quickly | existing paper in completeness and of- avoided. s copies every month. put on a different aspect, and under ' ficiency, and the whole face of the fn a WENTY MILLION OF COPIES EVERY WI THE RISE AND DEVELOPMENT OF WHAT IS NOW THE LARGEST THE SALES EXCEED TWENTY MILL gr Sores v earth was so mapped out that noth- ing could happen snfwhare with: out coming under t immediate cognizance of a paid repr ive having facilities for transmitting news direct to the London office. How suc- cossfully this was accomplished has been seen in the fact that The Daily Mnil is generally the first of the Lon- don papers to publish important news, being sometimes as much as two days ahead of any of its contemporaries. Careful Preparations. More than half a million pounds was sunk in buildings and plant be- ! fore the first co was issued. and this was altoget apart from the capital required for daily working ex- penses. An experimental daily issue was regularly edited and printed for two months before the first copy was sold to the public on May 4th, 1896, over £40,000 being thus spent in paper, labor, salaries, telegrams, pay- ments for contributions, ete., for .a paper which was never seem outside the office. The result of this was seen in the fact that at its first is- sue everything was in perfect working order, So instant was the success of the new venture that the average daily sale for the first month was 171,121 copies. This has steadily in- creased until at the present time the regular daily sale is only slightly un- der 1,000,000 copies, while on all spe- cial occasions, 1,000,000 is consider: ably exceeded. At The Head As A Medium. The Daily Mail stands at the head of the newspapers of the world as an advertising medium, and is able to command Bow £350 (81,750) to. £400 (82,000) per page for advertisements about twice the rate of any other Lon- don daily.

Carrying Place, to unite with the road of to-day, which follows the old course along the lake shore to Toron- to. Governor Simcoe planned well, but was removed from office bolore his plans were perfected. The beoad "Dundas street" which he had dreamt of building from one end of the pro- vince to the other is to-day complet ed, but it took years to build, and only came into its exist ence and was made passable bit by bit. The part of the original road which runs through Prince Edward is to-day still known by the name of its builder, Danforth. Asa Danforth was an American, who contracted in 1798 with the Upper Canada government to open the road from Kingston to An- castor, He fulfilled his part of the contract, but the government failing to effect a satisfactory settlement, he left Canada greatly dissatisfied, never to retarn again. In 1798 an act was passed respecting - 'statute duties on highways - and roads," and in 1804 £1,000 was grant. ed for repairing and laying out new roads and building bridges. After this we find money: granted from time to time in varying sums until we come to 1827, when an act was passed to incorporate "'the Cataraqui Bridge Company," which had formed and subscribed £6,000 stock for the pur- pose of building a bridge between Kingston and the opposite shore at Point Frederick in lien of the old scow ferry then in use. The act speci- fied the size of bridge and drawbridge, but gave the projectors of the scheme the right to erect toll houses and toll bars, but distinctly stated the amount of toll to be demanded for man, beast or vehicle. This evidently was the first tol] house established in the pro- vince. It succeeded so well, however, that in a few years, wherever there was a bad bit of road or a bridge to be supported, toll gates sprang up like mushrooms until finally they be- came such a nuisance that they "were abolished altogether' and now govern- ment funds and statute labor far het- ter supply their place. One by one these old , buildings have been de- molished until they have disappeared. % -------- Nearly one-half of the women gaged in en- occupations in London, are . | domestic servants, of whom there is ton, Bates & Co., Toronto, qne. to every twenty persons in population, the 1007 1007 The stability of a Company may be gauged by the class of Securities in which its funds are invested.
