British Columbia Town is the Home of a Remarkable Woman Writer Who Went to Live in the Wilds _ Nearly Half a Century Ago--Her the Pen Name of Stratton Mirr, T is now forty-six years since Mrs. Allison, the poetess, went to settle in the frontier town of Princeton, B.C., amongst the Indians, says Estelle M. Kerr in Toronto Saturday Night. There were there are but ten, and many graves. For many years she was the only white woman In the valley, and her daughter was seventeen before she ever saw a white man, and then she was so frightened by the apparition that she ran away and hid in terror. Mrs. Allison was the friend of the Indians, and they trusted her and "| told her stories which she translated into English verse. Her principal work, "Incowmasket," is the tale of and children. It was published under her pen-name, Stratton Mirr, and the proceeds of the sale were devoted to furnishing a ward in the Hedley Hos- pifal, at the gold mines, not far away. The Indians trusted her so that when they embraced Christianity and the quaint old . Indian monuments, about four feet high, which is one of sions. It stands in the corner of her living room, and she calls it "Dum- my." In fulfilment of her promise to the Indians, no one is allowed to make fun of Dummy or laugh at him. ML bad not the slightest desire laugh, though Dummy has a strange figure, slim of waist and thick of arm, I am sure evil spirits would fly from him and leave the grave he guarded unmolested. The tree, from which broken away, but his face, with its' high cheek-bones and Indian profile, though gray and weather-beaten, is animpaired by the hand of Time, and his brown marble eyes still gleam from their wooden sockets with a sin- ister expression. On the opposite side of the room stands Mrs. Allison's piano---the first to cross the Fraser river, and it got wet in the river, too, and the ivory came off its keys, so that its use ah It stands upright with the assistance of Some props, and its case, carved and inset with red welvet and shells, is very. interesting. . Mrs. Allison is now sixty-eight years old. She is small of stature; and her curly hair is pure white, while her sweet face is intersected by a network of wrinkles, but she is still a good horsewoman, and has the only |side-saddle in the country; she rides by, balance, and does not rise from the saddle as do the women in the Bast. She is not the only poetess who has written of the 'beautiful river. Tulameen on which her home stands, for Pauline Johnson in her "Indian Legends," tells a tale of the "Red Water" river which is said to be still haunted by the spirit of an Indian 'maiden who gave her life to save her lover; There is a railway that connects large quantities of cement from the works there into the United States, for owing to its situation cement can be mined there cheaper than any place on the continent, but as yet none of the great Canadian railways pass through, and traveling is dome by means of a'motor stage. The fare from Merritt to Princeton is twelve | dollars each, and I shared the stage < {with a prospector, a commercial tras veler, two miners, and a Chinaman. From Princeton to Pentictén by way of Keremeos, which takes you to the Okanagan lakes, is only seven dol- lars, but part of the trip is made by train. Still the drives were worth the money, even if Princeton had been quite devoid of charm, these drives were a never-to-bé-forgotten experience, We wound through cool valleys, beside tinkling brooks, up mountain sides, dashed around cipice, then through a pass so nar- row that the sun never enters, where black giant fir trees met above our héads, then out beside a sunlit lake .

EARTHQUAKES IN CANADY Four Serious Tremors Are Recorded in the Dominion's History. Serious earthquake shocks in Can- ada bave been principally 'vonfined to the eastern section of the country running from the Gulf of-St. Law- rence and them curving south-wester- ly to bake Champlain. On various occasions shocks of more or less ser- ious dimensions have been recorded, the most serious ones being in 1663, 1791, 1860, and 1870, The 'first mentioned, which lasted at intervals for six months, gained a certain cele- | brity from the description of it, given in the Relations des Jesuits. As quoted by the editor of "Hochelaga Depicta," this runs: "On the 5th of | February, 1663, about half-past five in the evening, a great rushing noise was heard throughout the whole ex- tent of Canada." (Them follows a description of - the various pheno- mena that were witnessed. "There are three circumstances which ren- dered this earthquake particularly re- markable. The first is its duration, it having continued from February to { August almost without intermission. The second circumstance relates to | thle extent of this earthquake, which | we believe was universal throughout the whole of New .France, for ve learn that it was felt from V'Isle Per- | cee and Gaspe, which are situated at the mouth of the St. Lawrence, to beyond Montreal, as also in New Eng- { land, Acadig, and other places more remote. As far as has come to our knowledge, this earthquake extended more than 600 miles in length, and about 300 in breadth. Hence 180,- | 000 square miles of land were con- | vulsed in the same day, and at the same moment. "The third circumstance, which appears the most remarkable of all, regards the extraordinary protection | of Divine Providence which has been | extended to us and our habitations; for we have seen near us the large | openings and chasms which the | earthquake occasioned, and the pro- digious extent of country which has either been totally lost or hideously convulsed, without. our losing either man, woman, or child, or even having | a hair of their heads touched." but he looks so strange and eerie that | A POPULAR CANADIAN, | |New Head of Nova Scotia Steel is Widely Known in East. Thomas Cantley, general manager { of the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal | Company, Ltd., has been elected pre- sident of the concern. He succeeds | R. E. Harris, judge of the Supreme Court, who was recently elevated to { the bench. Judge Harris was presi- | dent for a long term. Mr. Cantley | also retains his position as general manager. Lieut.-Gov. James D. Mae- Greg re first vice-presid and W. D, Ross was appointed the other vice-president. Mr. Ross will look after the financial interests of the company. ¢ Mr. Cantley, to whom has fallen the. honor of being elected to the head of one of the great industries of Nova Scotia "and in fact one of the greatest of eastern Canada, 'is well equipped for the eminent office he has been called upon to fill, ' The new president was born in New Glasgow, 'where the plant of this company is situated, in 1857. He commenced life as = telegraph operator, and ae quired considerable commeréial. ex- | perience in various directions. He entered the service of the Nova Seotia Steel Company in 1885, be- came assistant manager in 1889, and since 1901 has filled the position of general manager. At the same time the company. Although Mr. Cantley was one of the country's biggest business men he found time for other pursuits and Interests. He was a promoter of the Aberdeen Hospital and vice-president of the Nova Scotia Mining Society, Because of his valuable services in connection with the manufacturing of shells in Canada he has been made an honorary colonel. His son is a lieutenant at the front at present, but has been asked to return to New Glasgow to help direct the manufac. ture of shells as he is an expert in this work. Children's Aid Boys at Front. In his annual report Mr. J. J. Kelso states that over two hundred young | men who. have been helped by. the { Children's Aid Organization in earlier days have gone to the war. The spirit that animates these young fel- lows is shown in the following letter received by Mr. Kelso:. "Dear Friend, received your let- ter saying that I might enlist, and am so glad that you will let-me go, as I want to fight for the Empire and my country. When 1 got your letter 1 made up my mind to go at ence, but my employer asked me 'to stay for two more weeks to help him with the 'There are a lot of young from here who left about a ago, and it will not be long before I am in khaki.

The Troquois or Six Nation Indians have always taken a prominent part in the defence of the British Empire. At the time of the Revolutionary War these Indians were living in New York State, but took sides with Brit- ain on the understanding that if Brit. ain lost the campaign they would be given land in Canada to recompense them for land surrendered in thé) United States. Thus they became re-' fugees in the wilds of Canada, driven from their homes in the Mohawk Val- ley as the Belgians are in England to-day. The fidelity of Joseph Brant, the Mohawk Chief, and his followers won for the tribe a reserve in West- ern Ontario, where to-day the city of Brdntford recalls the memory of an Indian Loyalist, It is little more than 100 years since, on the banks of the Thames river, near the little town of Morav- iantown, Ontario, one of the bravest warriors that ever fought for the Union Jack was killed. Tecumseh, too, was a Mohawk. It is not so many years since the village of Ohsweken, on the Indian Reservation on the banks of the Grande River echoed with war whoops and glared with the light of the. yellow fires of the Mohawks as they made a Chief of Prince Arthur, now Governor-General of Canada. It is a long way from Saratoga in 1776 to the trenches of France and Belgium in 1914, but when the news of battle resoundéd through Canada, the Six Nations arose en masse in defence of their country. In the Council House at Ohsweken last September the Six Nations of the Grande River voted $1,500 to their brother, Ka-rah-kon-tye, The Duke of Connaught, Governor-General of Can- ada, to be ui by the Imperial aus thorities "as a token of the alliance existing between the Nations and the British Crown." ajor Gordon J. Smith, Superintendent of the Six Nation Indians and Major of the 25th Brantford Dragoons, referring to this gift of money, said to the writer: "When the subscription was being discussed many of the chiefs were anxious to contribute as much as $5,000," J In addition to this gift of money the Six Nations offered their war- riors, all 'and sundry, for the firing line, and actually sent 50 young Red- skins to the front. Prominent among these was Lieut. Cameron D. Brant, known to his comrades in arms as "Chief" Brant. The young' officer was a great-great-grandsén of the loyal and celebrated Captain Jos- eph Brant (They-an-den-egea), the leader of the Mohawks in the Revolu- tionary War and Chief of the Six Nations when they, left the United States and came to Canada. Lieut. Brant, like his noble ancestor, Te- cumseh, but in khaki uniform of the dian ting be- tle of was himself a Chief of the Six Nations, of which the Mohawks are the principal tribe, and lived in Hamilton, Ontario, He was formerly a lieutenant in the 87th Haldimand Rifles, Joining' the active service contingejt of the 4th Battalion at Cayuga, with a number of his Indian friends.
