Sass From, in al les i THE OUTSIDE AND { THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG | EARLY DAYS OF ST-LAWRENCE, - WHEN OUTLAW BANDS HELD SWAY The Observer Tells How Many Got Their Names and 'Some | Interesting Facts Concern ing Their History -- Also the First Settlers Along the Shores of the Great Waterway. | Observer in On-the-St.-Lawrence, Clay- ten, N. Y. The first official survey of the St. { Lawrence river was made by Capt. W. E. W. Owen, of the British royal navy, in 1818, the charts with des- | eription in print of this region being { published in 1828. Previous to 1874, when the United. | States government opdered a second | survey ole rives Copies of the old { English cha¥e=*®ere scatered here {and there throughout ndrthern New | York and Canada; but since that | time they have become worn out or' | destroyed by fire until but few it any are in existence. The official num- bers of those charts that possibly | some of our readers may desire to | possess as an interesting addition to | private libraries is recorded in the i admiralty office at London, England, |as 338, the sheet referring to this | particular locality peing No. 6., Nos. {6 and 7 being extensions up and down river. There seems to be no records of Iroquois Indian names as | applied to any one of the Thousand | Islands, and if there were, Capt. {Owen ignored them and bestowed names of English localities and | prominent persons as for instance, | JefIry's, now known as Grenells, and | Amherst, now known as Pine, the two names having been that of Gen. Jeffrys Amherst, commander of the i British army, with headquarters near lake George during the French and Indian war of 17568, and under whom one of my ancestors, Abraham Stick- ney, was a British soldier. Picton | Island was named by Capt. Owen, as | was Crawford, now Bluff; Oporto Head, now Grand View Park; Sir | James, now Gordon Island, and Par- | kenham, now Maple. Maple island, | oné of the most.prominently located | and beautiful of all, has been con- | nected in some way with tragedies to | make it seem like a haunted house, | Parkenham, as Capt. Owen named it, | was the name of the English general { who was killed at the battle of New | Orleans during the war of 1812. Em- { balming of dead bodies was either | unknown in those days, or the ma- | terial was not at hand, so the general | was shipped back to his native land {In a barrel of alcohol as preservative, | The body arrived at an English port | in good condition, bit several gimigt | holes in the barrel were evidence | that thievish sailors had draws and {consumed the liquid. | Fifty years later near Maple island { theré was the burning of the her- mit"s cabin at night and his disap- | pearance, It has since been believed that he was murdered by enemies and the body, with heavy weights, sunk far out in the channel.

Freezone is the discovery of a noted Cincinnati genius. | There has been much of argument | as to whether Wellesley or Wells is | the rightful name of the large island on which Thousand Island park is located. Capt. Owen borrowed the name Wellesley, by which an Eng- | lish town has been known for cen- | turies. One of the first white settlers | wnamed Wels, discarded the English | name and substituted his own, and ! 'thereby was the cause of the dis-| agreement that has dragged along for | many years. According to stories | handed down, that have been ac- | cepted as authentic local history, the | first white settlers to locate in the | wilderness along the St. Lawrence | comprised an assortment of outlaws | and fugitives from justice, guilty, no | doubt of all sorts of petty crimes of | which the most important was that | of bigamy. They were said to have | been driven with their unlawful mess | of women partners from respectable | localities and were themselves glad to | get anywhere beyond the clutches of | justice. They were ignorant and {1li- | terate, {hié names bestowed by Capt. | prehension, and having no use, as we | say in these days, for the roving, | vagabond remnants of the Iroquois | tribe, nor for Indian names, they | made use of such plebian titles as ap- | plied to the islands as hog, pig, cat, | dog and others of like kind many of which are in use to this day. The | criminal propensities of those early | inhabitants had been held.in check ! by law abiding people ofthe places from which they-had come, but here, | with little or no restraint, all sorts | of outlawry had full swing. Murder | was not {rifrequent, especially if the victims were suspected of possessing | valuables and several places are yet | pointed out as having been where | venturesome Jewish peddlers gave up | their lives as penalty for incautious ! invasion of outlaw territory. | At Fishers Landing, as one of the places where in early days death by violence occurred, there are yet to be | seen the stones with which a deep | well was filled to hide evidence of a tragedy as the result of a free-for-all | fight at a loghouse dance back in the | 1840's. { But times and customs have | changed. Where once neither life | nor property was secure, there now | is, with but occasional outcroppings of degeneracy and inherited criminal disposition, peace and prosperity. As | a rather vivacious young woman probably ignorant of the old saw, | "Children and fools tell disagreeable | truths," expressed herself a few days | ago : "We're a pretty good lot of folks to have been descended from such ancestry as ours, aren't we?" NA A AAA sa msna Gibson, transferred to Cuba. Mr. Brymner has arrived here. | While in Lethbridge Mr. Brymner ! made many friends and the Board of | Trade there gave him a special | luncheon, He had been president of | the board from 1914 to 1919 and had | served with great efficiency. A Leth- | bridge paper+$mys'®* "go was 'one | whose counsel could always be relied | upon and who had always been will- | ing to do all in his power for the | benefit of the city and district. Not | only had he rendered valiant servites | to the Board of Trade, but had been | a prime mover in the musical festi- | val and the social and church life of | the city." | R.. J. Dinning, manager of the | Merchants' Bank, spoke on behalf of the bank managers of the city. Mr. Dinning declared that Mr. Brymmer had always inspired his fellow man- agers with confidence, and when =& bank managér can do that there is something to him. Mr. Dinning then presented Mr. Brymner with a pipe and an empty flask as a slight token of esteem from the members of the board. When Mr. Brynner rose to reply the audience stood and sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." When the row subsided he replied in suit- able terms and was given three cheers and a tiger. He said : *'I feel that I am in the uncomfort- able tion of a corpse without go- ing before with proper ceremony. It is very trying to a young and bashful man to listen to his obituary. I would like to make a long speech and tell you a lot of things but I do not know how. I appreciate this present and all the kind things that have been sald I will always cherish throughout my life. I came here in 1913 just as the crest of prosperity had swept over the rocks and we had to take some of the buffeting between the rocks and the surf and I guess I grew a little. . I believe I have bene- fited a great deal from my stay in fethbridge and I feel that by leaving | here I am not getting away from my friends because I feet I have a good many friends who will always remain my friends." Mr. Brymner originally came from Ottawa, 80 he is near home. He will be heartily welcomed to Kingston. tsp m-- AGAINST BEST INTERESTS ---- ' Of Cheese Industry to Ship to Mont. | real For Sales: A former president of the From- tena¢ Cheese Board writes to the Whig regarding. the proposal to change the system of marketing cheese. He says: "I would like to be there and have something to say about the shipping of cheese to Yoni- real to be sold. I hope, and I think, that the farmers and cheese manu- facturers of Frontenac know very well that such a move would be en- tirely against the best interest of the cheese industry, and one of the strongest rules that the Frontenac Board has always had was that the ch must be weighed and inspeci- ed ¢nd paid for at the point of ship- ment. They won't surely play into the Montreal men's hands and lose money and create positions fora few men who seem to be tumbling over { upon the neW proposals, and he says he would like to be present at the board to take a part in the discussion, as he thinks that the farmer will be the loser by the co-operative method of marketing cheese.

INSTEAD OF PLANTING asp SOWING SEASON'S CROPS, The Price of Seed and the Lateness | of Spring Will Cause a Change jn | the Year's Produce--~What Farm. | ers Say. Unless something unforeseen hap- | pens the price of grain next fall will be the highest in history. On Tues- | day morning, when speaking to some | men who are in a postion to know | what they say, the Whig learned that there will be many reasons for the increase in cost. One reason is that last year there was practically no grain which means that the farmers are com- pelled to pay 'high sums for seed grain, One feed merchant stated that he could well remember the days when he sold seed clover for $8.00 a bushel and was thén making a good turn-over, but to-day seed clover was $145 a bushel. When people make the statement that oats are dear they do not realize that seed oats cost $1.80 to $2.00 a crease is that the spring is very late and farmers have been unable to get in the seed. It was only during the last few days that farmers have been able to get out on the land. The shortage of farm help is another. For years there has been a shortage of labor but never as bad as it is at the present time. Many farmers who live on the road over which the new highway is to be |- constructed state that on account of the high cost of seed and also the | late spring they have decided to | spend a good part of their time work- | ing on the new highway and will | only put in a very small crop. This means that there will certainly be a great shortage. It is the feeling of many' people if the work on-the highway could have held over until about June 1st, it would mean that hundreds, in fact thousands, of bushels or seed would have been put in by the men who are working at the construction ®ork. ---------------- Discontent is so infectious that people who habitually allow their dis- content to get the upper hand really ought to be isolated for the benefit of' the community.
