WHY You NEED 'ORGANIC IRON Sr pit Remon A "| Fort Gaspereaux, arected PRESERVING HISTORIC SCENES Count not the cost of honor to the dead ! The tribute that a mighty nation pays To those who loved her well in \ former days, Means more than glory fled, For every noble man that she hath bred, Immortalized by art's immortal praise, Lives in the bronze that we raise. ---Henry Van Dyke. Five years ago a national move- ment was inaugurated by the Do- minion government for the preserva- tion of historic shrines in Canada, The necessity for such a movement was presented to the government by various organizations whose mem- bers had taken practical steps to preserve local historic remains, or had erected by private subscription monuments to the great dead who had counted life not dear unto themselves. It was pointed out that unless immediate action were taken many sites of historic significance would be obliterated before the march of industrial progress and that already stones hewn from the quarries 1in the old world and brought across the Atlantic to build fortifications for the defence of Can- ada had been carried away by the shipload for the construction of modern buildings. BEntrenchments where great deeds were wrought, which should have been held sacred for all time, had been levelled by the plough and their valuable contri- butions to the history of the coun- try lost beyond recovery. It is safe to say that few movements ever re- ceived more general approbation. The beautiful words of Joseph Howe were accepted as the sentiment of the nation: "A wise nation pre- serves its records, gathers up its monuments, decorates" the tombs of its illustrious dead, repairs its great structures, and fosters national pride and love of country, by per- petual reference to the sacrifices and glories of the past." In June, 1919, there was created an honorary Historic Sites and Monuments Board to advise the government concerning such sites as might be considered of national im- portance. The board was re-organ- ized and reconstituted by Order-in- Council on March 27th, 1928, and now consists of the following per- sonnel: Brig.-General E. A. LL.D., Ottawa. Dr. James H. Coyne, St. Thomas, representing Ontario. J. Plimsoll Edwards, Halifax, N.S., representing Nove Scotia. Dr. J. Clarence Webster; Shediac, N.B., representing New Brunswick. Judge F. W. Howay, New West- minster, B.C, representing Western Canada. Dr. Victor Morin, Montreal, Que., representing Quebec, J. B. Harkin, comimissioner Cana- dian national parks, Department of the Interior, administrative officer. Arthur A. Pinard, officer of the Canadian national parks branch, sec- retary. The administration of the move- ment was placed under the control of the national parks branch of the Department of the Interior. The board, which serves without remun- eration, is composed of some of the most distinguished historians in Canada and its personnel stretches from coast to coast. Each member of it 1s a specialist in some section of Canadian history and brings to the service of Canadian sites the ripe knowledge of many years' extensive study. General Cruikshank, the chairman, has written extensively on historic matters for many years and the remaining members have all done original and authoritative work in their respective provinces. During the past five years more than 800 sites have been considered by the board end out of these 126 have been judged to be of national importance and have been recom- mended as worthy of preservation by the Dominion government. The survey is still under way and when completed an historic sites map of the dominion will be published. Sixty-one sites, recommended by the board, have Deen secured by the department for the purpose of com- memoration either by transfer from other departments, deed of gift, or lease of occupation. On sites where there ere no historic remains but whére It Is desired to commemorate historic occurrences, a shaft, cairn or boulder is erected to carry a standard bronze tablet. The cen- gratitude for and marble Cruikshank, "tral panel of the tablet is occupied with a suitable inscription and his- toric data and around its border phases of Canadian history are sym- bolically represented. { The following twenty-one sites have been marked by the department and the unveiling and dedication of the memorials carried out: 3 New Fort Cumberland, about four miles from Amherst, formerly the old French Fort Beausejour, cap- {tured in 17556 by the British .and named Fort Cumberland, and Fort Monckton, about one and one-half miles from Fort Elgin, formerly old by the French in 1750 to command the de- fence of the Isthmus of Chignecto and captured in 1756 by the British; from Amherst, erected in 1760 at Misagouche by Major Charles Law- rence and the sceme of fierce strug- gles -between the French and Eng- lish during the eighteenth century. At St, Jona A site was provided by Fort St. Lawrence, about three miles|' the city authorities in Market Square and a large granite boulder, to which is affixed a standard tablet, has been erected to commemorate the landing of the United Empire Loyalists, May 18th, 1783, who left their homes and their possessions in the United States and migrated to Canada. -- Nova Scotia. Shelburne, as the home of the first fleet of Loyalist settlers, who arrived on May 4th, 1788, has been commemorated by the erection of a large boulder and tablet at the in- tersection of King and Dock streets, facing the harbor. Fort Edward, at Windsor, formerly the French Fort Pisiquid, which came into posses sion of the British soon after their establishment of Halifax in 1649, and was used for many years for defen- sive purposes against the Indians and Acadlans, has also been set aside as a national historic site and will be preserved. Fort Anne, at An- napolis Royal, one of the most nota- ble sites on the North American cone tinent, dating back to 1604, when de Monts, Champlain and kindred brave spirits were sent out from France to found a colomy in the new world, is now an historic park covering an area of twenty acres. From the time of its founding until the capitulation in 1710, Port Royal, as it was then known, changed hands six times between the French and the English. In 1713 it was re- named Fort Anne. Most of the land comprising the famous French Fort of Louisbourg, Cape Breton, erected in 1720-40 at a cost of about six millicn dollars and the scené of great struggles be- tween the English and ¥rench, has been secured for memorial purposes. The final capture of Louisbourg by the British on July 26th, 1758, was the first of a series of events which culminated in the possession of Canada by the British crown. The complete destruction of the noble fortress by the British was one of the great tragedies which war brings in its train. Quebec. Much attenticn has naturally been directed to the province of Quebec, where many of the great historic events in the history of Canada have been enacted. One of the most ven- erable and picturesque ruins on he American continent is Fort Cham- bly, situated twenty miles south- west of Montreal, on a conspicuous headland of the Richlieu river. This fort was built by the. French in 1665, of wood construction and af- ter many vicissitudes was rebuilt of solid stone by the French in 1709-11. In 1760 it was surrendered to the British and was held by them with a small armed force until 1775, when it was captured by the Americans, who burngl everything that was combustible, leaving only the walls standing. Later it was repaired and garrisoned by Governor Carle- ton, but was completely abandoned in 1851. Steps have been taken to arrest the disintegration of the mas- sive walls and to redeem the ceme- tery from neglect and decay. An- other fortress on the Richelieu riv- er, situated about ten miles from the American border, is Fort Lennox, Ile-aux-Noix, a massive fortress built in 1822 by the Imperi-' auth oritles, at immense cost, to be later practically abandoned when the American menace came to an end. This fort has also been placed under the care of the Canadian national parks branch and will remain for all time a romantic memorial of the de- fence of the Richelieu gateway. At St. Maurice Forges on the St. Law- rence river, about seven miles from Three Rivers, a cairn, tablet and fence have been erected to commem- orate the first forges established in Can in 1730, which supplied the early dottlers with stoves, axes, nails, bars, hammers, spades and other utensils.

At Three Rivers a boulder, tablet and fence have been erected to commemorate the military opera- tions that took place there during the American invasion of 1776. ' At Laprairie, & memorial has been erected on the site df the old fort which served as a rpfuge for the settlers during a quarter of a cen- tury of wars from 1687 to 1718. About four miles from Laprairie a cairn and tablet have been erected to commemorate the victory of St. Cirq on Amgust 11th, 1691. Certain historic monuments al- ready erected in Quebec have been transferred to the control of the Canadian national parks branch for future care and mainténance. They include Chateauguay, erected by the Dominion government im 1895 to commemorate the battle of Chateau- guay, October 26th, 1813, when the American army invading Lower Canada and marching on Montreal was repulsed by the militia of the province; Madeleine de Vercheres, situated on the banks of the St. Lawrence at Vercheres, erected by the Dominion government in the year 1918 to the memory of Made- leine de Vercheres whose heroic de- fence against the attacks of the Iro- quols in 1692 is one of the most ro- mantic episodes of Canadian history; Eccles Hill, constructed in 1902 by the Dominion government to cele- brate the defence of the Canadian volunteers in 1870 against the Fen- ian raiders. Ontario. In Ontario a number of important historic sites have been commemo- rated. Four miles east of Corn- wall and near to the Montreal-To- ronto provincial highway a cairn and tablet have been erected to mark the site of Glengarry House, the residence of Colonel John Macdon- nell, and later an important military past during the war of 1812-14. It is said to be the first stone building erécted in Upper Canada. At King- ston a tablet was placed on the walls of the British Whig Publishing Company, which stands on, the sits of old St. George's Anglican Church, where Lord Simcoe held the first meeting of the Executive Council of the Province of Upper Canada, July 8th, 1792. The Battle of the Wind- mill, November 13th, 1838, which occurred during the Mackenzie Re- bellion, has been commemorated on the north bank of the St. Lawrence river, two miles east of Prescott. A tablet has been placed on the exist- ing monument which marks the Bat- tle of Chrysler's Farm, November 11th, 1813. On Christian Island, near Penetanguishene, a boulder and tablet enclosed by a fence, have been erected to commemorate the Jesuit Fort, Ste. Marie II. Here, in the winter of 1649-50, the Huron nation, under the protection of a band of Jesuit missionaries and their staff, fled for refuge from the Iroquois and built a stone fort 72 feet square. Faced by starvation and with all but 300 of the once power- ful Huron nation carried away they were forced to abandon the settle- ment. The most probablé site of the martyrdom of the Jesuit mission- aries, Fathers Brebeuf and Lalement, by the Iroquois in 1649 at the Mis- sion of St. Ignace, near the present town of Midland, Ontario, was mark- ed by the erection of a cairn and tablet. At Port Dover an artificial stone cross was erected to comme- morate the taking possession of the lands of the Lake Brie region by the Sulpician priests, Dollier and Gali- nee, on March 23rd, 1670. On the east side of the Niagara boulevard, near Chippawa, a tablet was placed on a monument provided by the Ni- agara Falls Park Commission, to commemorate the Battle of Chippa- wa, July 5th, 1814, between Cana- dian and American troops. Imme- diately adjacent to the Niagara boulevard, near Bridgeburg, a tab- let wag placed on a monument erect- ed by the Niagara Falls Park Com- mission to commemorate the action of Frenchman's Creek, November 28th, 1812, between the Canadian troops and the American invaders. Four miles east of the town of Wel- land, the battle of Cook's Mills, Oc- tober 19th, 1814, was commemor- ated. At Niagara-on-the-Lake the Battle of Fort George, May 27th, 1818, was also marked. On the Mountain Road near Thorold, the Battle of Beechwoods or Beaver Dams, June 28th, 1813, was also commemorated. At Sault Ste. Marie a cairn and tablet were erected to mark the first Sault Ste. Marie Canal, surveyed by the Northwest Far Com- pany in 1797. Fort Wellington, Prescott, constructed in 1812-13 as the main post for defence between Kingston and Montreal, has also been taken over for preservation. The interesting Glengarry Cairn, situat- ed on Monument Island, in the St. Lawrence river, opposite the village of South Lancaster, and erected by members of the Glengarry Militia, who took part in the suppression of the Rebellion of 1837, in honor of Sir John Colborne, commander of His Majesty's forces In Canada at that time, has received necessary repairs. In Manitoba, Fort Prince of Wales, situated at Churchill, the most nor- therly fortress on the American con- tinent, built by the Hudson's Bay Company from 1733 to 1747 has been placed under the general pro- tection of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and steps have been Situated about two miles from the City Hall, Winnipeg, direct'y north of Main gtreet, a monument was erected in 1891 by the Manitoba Historical Society on the site of the encounter at Seven Oaks between the mien of the Northwest Fur Com- pany and the Selkirk settlers in 1816, when Governor Robert Sem- ple and twenty of his men were kili-|' ed.

Fort Livingstone, covering an area of 960 acres, has been reserved with a view to the creation of a na- tional historic park at a subsequent date. Fort Livingstone was the first capital of the Northwest Territories in 1876-77, and there the first ses- sion of the Northwest Council was held. Many other sites are receiving consideration and it is. hoped that eventually every historic site of na- tional importance and interest in the Dominion will be preserved from the nation's care.
