For hundreds Toronto for comforters and other staples to the oidest woolen mill fn Canada, the Asselstine Mill, near Odessa, fif- teon miles west of Kingston. "Where do you think these are going?" a woman asked Michael As- selstine, the owner. a few days ago. She was fingering the whito. flufly heap of bats, almost as famous as eiderdown for bedspreads, which she had just bought. "To Japan, she added. She was a missjonacy. In two weeks she will be sailing from a Pacific port with some of old Mr. Asselstine's famous wool. A chance meeting on the streels of Kingston brought up the fact of the oid mill., Among the p20ople of Kingston who acted as hosts to tho Ontario Historical Society at the re- cent annual meeting held at King- ston this year was a big fair, genjal man. Listening to a discussion about the old things of the vicinity, he sud- denly broke into the conversation, and suggested: 'Why don't you go out to see the oldest mill still stand- ing in Canada?" The natural question then follow- ed: "Is it still running?" "This suit-that I have on,' the stranger replied, fingering his grey goat, and hoMing it out proudly for inspection, "was made there." Later on, it proved that the broad- shouldered man was Tom Asselstine, as he is familiarly known, the clerk of the high conrt at Kingsto You come suddenly upon the old' weather-beaten frame building as you round a bend - in the road. Spaeading trees shade it and give it a peaceful, old<world, atmosphere. On Lhe asst, the Odessa stream, which comes through Sydenham, forms the. milipond, and flows through the ancient slgiceway fo turn the wheels of the machinery in- side. Not many mils in Ontario are left that use water-power. . As one approaches the old building with Mr. Asselstine, about the first thing ome ses is the wool drying and bleaching on a sort of platform &t the froot second-storey door. Long talls of it hang from the sides of the doorway and the clapboarding, swaying [rom cide to side as the wind puffs through them. The whole history of woollen ma- pufacturing in Upper Canada is around Mr. Asselstine's mill. It was on this site that Isaac Fraser built the first mil in 1810. Michael Asselstine, father of the present pro- prietor, bought it. Close by the mill today the old stone foundation is stillestanding. The present building dates from 1853. Asselstine tells you that he hp Gwned it since 1846, the year Confederation. You go into a ower storey through the front door under the platform. It is heaped with wool in bags. Then you look up end stare at the huge pine beams, each of them rough<hewn with an ads, tweive in- ches square and as wide as the building, thirty-six feet in al. The machinery is all upstairs. I is quite modern. But Mr. Asscistine to the people who have worked there and become atiached to the piace Mr. Asselstine likes to spedk of Mag- sie Gibbs, still working with him in the old building. She came to him as a girl. She loft to marry, but when her husband died, there was sill the old mill. She came back. Now, as a grandmother, she is work- ing there yet. = Mr. Asselsting's mo- ther, who ence lived in the shadow of tho mill, is living in Kingston to- dag, a remarkable woman of 399 years, > TRAFFIC "COPS" ON DUTY ON PRAGESS STREET Two Busy Corners Were Well Looked After On Satur- day Night. -- The police "department had two men on Princess street Saturday night, regulating traffic, and citizens are well pleased with the result, One man stationed at the corner ner of Montreal, two of thc busiest corners in the down-lown district.
