They are the Arete w hes tot=¥euis--have--been--going- up snd down and across the country, pying, prospecting, surveying. And tary are still doing it, though by-and- bye they will have the whole half- continent measured and mapped. The surveyor is the first chapter in nation. al enterprise nowadays. He makes the way for the settler and the capital- ist, and his word goes. Farms, rail. ways, mines, depend upon him and the way he does nis work. He changes our geography for us, and the engineer who frequently accompanies him changes our business conceptions. But this is in the large. In detail the work of these men means hardship, and tight corners, and experiences that at the time seem anything but romantic and interesting A party of railway surveyors stories 1 n and "engineers who were locating a prelim. inary line in northern British Colum bia 4 year ago cached a large part of their togd supplies and then went on Ww the Yellowhead Pass. On their re- turn they found that the Cree Indians had broken into their caches and stolen everything eatable. It looked very much like starvation, in conse- quence, and the fact that it was win- ter made things all the worse. There was nothing for it but to take the trail and trust to finding some game along the way: Only énough tood re- put every man on short rations, and over the last ninety miles twenty-two wen subsisted on one hun- dred pounds of flour. The chief of the party lost twenty-eight pounds in weight during that weary winter march, and the pangs of hunger were experienced by all to a degree that came perilously near to starvatoin. Two timber cruisers went out to look up some timber on Texada Is- land, which lies between Vancouver Island and the mainland. One of them went ashore and the other re- mained in. the boat. A storm came up, one of the oars broke, and the Loat was blown into the strait, 'never te be heard of again. The man ashore WAS [Ar He had no food, no and only a few matches Even his knife had been left in the boat. The sputheast end of Texada Island is uninhabited, and there was no hope of aid in that direction. All that could be done was to break off some boughs and make a rude shelter in the woods, with a little fire to warm him up through the night in lieu of something to eat. He was con. fident that he would be picked up the next day by some passing boat. The next day, however, though tugs sand steamers passed up and down the strait, none came close enough to see his signals, and rescue in that way seemed at last to be very doubtful Then he started to walk through the woods, in hope of finding some In- dians or settlers on the other side of the island. It was a long, hard walk, and to no purpose, for not a man was to be found. To walk up to the other end of the island. where there are some settlements, was out of the question. Days and nights pass- ed, cold, shelterless, and foodless, ex- cept for a few fish that were picked up along the shore, and the unhappy prisoner gradually weakened. On the sixth day a steam-tug, seeking shel. ter from a threatening storm, cam. near enough the island to see a signal and the man ashore climbed a rock and waved his coat as continuously ss his little remaining strength allowed. When taken off he was in a condi- tion that would have probably made another forty-eight hours on the island fatal. Traveling in the wilderness is al ways difficult, and even when there is a trail one eannot count upon much in the way of speed. In the Yellowhead country two prospectors were traveling last fall on the right-of-way along the Grand Trunk Pacific route, where the clearing had already been dope, and al one point it took them ted hours to make eight miles. ned Abolishing the Parlor. Ottawa is the centre of a better housing movement, which has some novel and attractive features, not the least of which is the abolition of the parlor. The house as a home, where every room will be used, and used without restriction, is the idea which is promulgated, sod the competition for prises for the best plans will be open to the architects of the whole Dominion.

Barber, ex-M P P., whe re cently celebrated his seventieth birth day, is andoubts the most widely known paper manafacturer in Canada, and paint of years of continuous | connection with the business is an outstanding figure. He his seen over hali a century of constant identifica tion with the industry. years since he first worked in a mall finishing room. The mention of the name 'Barber' at once brings to the mind the thought of paper, and al other makers in Canada look upon him as the doven of the trade. His father, James Barber, the man in Canada to learn paper-making by hand With bis vat, and blanket he was an expert at the work and turned out enough every week to draw thirteen and fourteen days' pay. The mill, where he labor- ed, was at Crook's Hollow, which in 1830 was a great manufacturing centre five miles trem Dundas. The father of Hon. Adam Crooks, who was the | first Minister of Education in Ontario owned the industry. The first mill of | the Barbers was erected at George: town in the middle fifties, there being | at that time only three other news plants in the country, that owned by | the Taylors on the Don being one { them. The initial product of the Bar- | ber plant was three carloads of wrap | ping paper. and the Grand Trunk was then being built. The wrapping paper was heaped on three flat cars for shipment to To {ronto by means of a construction {train. In those days locomotives ! burned wood and there were no box cars, 'As the engine puffed and snort 'ed it emitted many sparks and John R. Barber, then a boy in His teeqs, slong with several mer from TYode on the flat ~THey provided with buckets of water to keep the 'wood sparks from the locomotive setting fire to the cargo. To-day, Mr. Barber is president ot four paper companies and vice-presi dent of another, which is erecting a 110-ton uews print mill as Espanola Ontario, on the Spanish River. He can recall many interesting incidents in connection with thy expansion and development of the paper trade which, owing to the great national re. sources in tie saape of pulpwood, has become one of the strongest industrial "factors of the Dominion. In the very ely days ground wood and sulphite pulp were unknown in the making of paper, pea, wheat, and oat straw and DE rh being used, while news print was made from rags and gold as high as fifteen cents per pour To-day news print is purchased by the big publishers of Toronto for a trifle over two cents per pound diy was steve, sheets A Duke In Canada. | Canada is to have among its sum. | mer residents this year, living on his own estate near Calgary, one wha holds the highest rank in the peerage of the United Kingdom. The summer visitor will be Cromartie Sutherland- Leveson-Gower (pronounced Looson- Gore,) fourth Duke of Butherland, whose title of earl was conferred near- ly 700 years ugo. The duke is the largest lund owner in Great Britain, | his estates in England and Scotland | aggregating 1,368,600 acres. The Scot usn tenants live in the bleakest -and most barren part of the Highlands, where the struggle for existence is a hard one. Last year the duke, with the idea of establishing colonies of his Scottish tenantry in the Canadian West, where their toil would be more handsomely rewarded, bought 250,000 acres of land in Alberta and British Columbia, near the route of the Grand Trunk Pacific. The land purchased is of two kinds, one suitable for fruit culture, the other for mixed farming. One hundred families were sent Gut, and settled on the land last year. Dur. ing his visit' this summer the duke intends to personally study the con- ditions of the people and to supervise the distribution of the land. He will likely be accompanied by the duchess, who is a sister of the present Earl of Rosslyn, the peer who was an actor ior some years, and will be remem- bered by many readers who saw a real live earl performing on the stage Dr. Hogg's Appointment. The new: bniversity of Saskatche: wan, which is being rapidly developed at Saskatoon, is quietly securing for its faculty some wf the most promis- ing young men in Canadian university cireies » One of the latest appointments is that of br. J. L. Hogg, who has been on the staff of McMaster University for the last five years as professor of paysics, and who has been very popu- tar as a locturer and director of prae- tical work in his department. Prof. Hogg is a Canadian, a graduate of the University of Toronto, anu a scientist of wide reputation. He took post. graduate work at Harvard University, and while there published a series of papers on rarified gases which have brought him to the attention of some Gf tie foremost scientists of the world. He is to have charge of the department of physics at Saskatoon, and will have tlie opportunity of pick- ing the equipment of the laboratory. Lwo years ago the same university took {rom the stafl of McMaster, Dr. E. Oliver, giving him appoint ment as professor «of history and eQonoIics. These two young men are a distinet gain to the young university of the middle West, for their work will un- doubtedly bring distinction to the fac- ulty witd which they are conmected. --~Siar Weekly. The Assurance of Melville, Melville, Sask., is in the three-year- old class, and to do her credit, she hardly looks her age. Bhe sprang into being in a night when the steel of the Grand Trunk Pacific was laid at her doors, and her modest motto, flaunted in the breeze the day Mr. R. L. Bor den's party arrived there was: "Even- tually you must come to Melville, why not now?" (There is something about the sell-effacement of these prairie towns which grips an easterner).
