Mr. Laurier at Lindsay. There was a. large crOwd in Lindsay on Monday last. to do heuor to the Lib- eral leader, and there can be no doubt that it would have been a good deal larger but for the horrible Condition of eight inches of snow that fell during Saturday night and Sunday, and for the same reason the intention of having a procession was abandoned. The train from Toronto, due at 11.20, did not reach Lindsay until noon, but as the announcement. that it. would be an hour. instead of only forty minutes, late, had been made, there were not; many per- sons nt the station when it arrived. Ml‘.. , I I p . and interviewed Mr. Harry hchcrmtd, Laurier was accompanied by Madame Laurier, Mr. Wm. Mulock, M. P., Mr. James McMullcn, M. P., Mr. A. Camp- bell, M. P., Mr. W. H. Pratt, the Lib- eral candidate for Muskoka, and Mr. Alexander Smith of Toronto, and, after a few presentations to Mr. Laurier had been made, the party were escorted to carriages and driven to the Benson House, where preparations for their reception had been made. At 2 p. in. proceedings cmnmcnced‘ in the skati'nzr rink. which had been prottily decorated with evergreens. flags and mottoes, one of which inclined us to the belief that it must have been suggested by some friend of ours upon the committee who wished to l'nrtivcly pay us a Complime :t by calling public attention to our well known specialties With the. limited facilities at our disposal we cannot 31in- evcn an outline of the speeches. and there can scarcely be in the Province or in the Dominion a Liberal interested in the questions of the day who has not read one or more ofthc powerlul and convincing addresses lately delivered by Mr. Lauricr. In the unavoidable ab- sence of Mr. Wm. Cameron. Vice-Pres idcnt of the South Victoria Liberal Association, Mr. John A. Barron ofli eluted as chairman, and tilled the duties of that pn<lllou with his well knowu ability. The speakers were: Mr. Geo McHugh. Liberal c'tuditlute for South Victoria, Mr. R. 1.. Me Laughliu, Liberal candidate for North Victoria, Mr. Mu- lock, M. P., llon. Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. McMullt-n. The abilities of our northern candid-ate. Mr. McLaughlin, as a speaker are well known, and from the specimen Mr. Mcllugh gave us on Monday of what he can do, it may safe- ly be predicted that, should he be victor in the coming struggle, his constituents will have an excccdi ugly creditable rcp- rescntative in the House of Commons. At the conclusion of Mr. Mulock's speech, Mr. Thomas Brady’s little daughter Erin presented handsome bou- quets to Mr. and Madame Lauricr. after which the following address was read by Mr. D. It. Anderson, Secretary of the South Victoria Liberal Associa- tiou: The Hon. Wilfrid Laurier, B. C. L.., Q. 0., P‘. C. : The Liberals of the County of Victoria tion; yet. we rely with confidence upon your earnestness, ability and stutest‘nanship in ending the agitation and restoring to the public mind that peace and contentment so necessary for our advancement as a people. You have, as well you know, our united and unswerving loyalty and support, and with the noble cause which is ours, we con- fidently hope that. at the next election, come it early or late, the two noble ridiugs of Victoria will give you their full support. Signed, on behalf of the Liberal Associa- lion, Wu. Gammon, Vice-President. D. R. Asnsusos, Sec'y S. V. R. A. Lindsay, Oct. let, 1895. It is estimated that there were con- siderably over 3,000 persons in the rink, and some of them had travelled very long distances to hear the Liberal leader. Two questionsâ€"one with ref erencc to prohibition and the other re- garding the Manitoba school question â€"â€"wcre put to Mr. Laurier and an- swered by him to the satisfaction of the audience. The diStinguishcd visitor and his companions were escorted to the station by a large number of citi- zens and the band, and left by the 6 o’clock train for Toronto. A Puget Sounder. On Wednesday forenoon we captured who left the Falls thirteen years ago and settled at Puget Sound on the. Pacific coast and in the State of Wash. ington, where, his many old friends will be glad to hear, he has done remarkably well. For the first. eight years he fol- lowed his trnde. that of carpenter and builder, with his surplus earnings spec- ulating in land; and, having a taste for. farming and a fondness for live stock, he settled downabout five years agoton a farm of 160 acres, which he owns, together with two Smaller ones in a Somewhat better locality, though no way superior as regards. soil. The “ homestead farm,” as Mr. ilchcrmid calls it, is situated nine miles by road, and six miles across Big S'kukcu boy, from Shelton, the county towu, which Contains fully .8000 in habitants, a large number of stores and industries and two flourishing newspapers. There is Considerable poor land in the vicinity, but Mr. McDermid’s is very good, much the greater port of it consisting of a sandy loam valley, while the hilly por- tion is, here and there. rather inclined to bc gravelly. ‘3“ the wheat that is used has to be bought. as it cannot be profitably grown in that locality, but other kinds of grain, nearly all the vegetables, and a great variety of fruits do exceedingly well. The climate is very pleasant, and the temperature docs .uot go to. asgrea-t extremes as in this part of Canada, the mercury seldom rising as high as 90 degrees in the middle of summer or dropping to zero in the depth of winter. Once in a great. while there is such a fall of snow as we had here at. the beginning of this week. and for a couple of days in 1893 Mr. McDermid created a sensation by driv. ing around in a. jumper of his own con- struction with a cowbell hung at. the end of the pole. During the wet scu- sou, which corresponds to our winter and is not much shorter, a great deal of rain falls, but there are frequent inter- missions, during which the weather is very fine; and very often, instead of rain, there is what is called an “ Oregon mist." which is so fine that a person can Work in it for Wu or three hours before his clothes will get wet. Coal is abun- dant and cheap and is used almost ex- clusively for fuel in towns; but. the ma- most heartily welcome you to the town of jut“), of the farmers bum [1,- wood, Lindsay. We recall with pleasant memory the lust official occasion that you visited Lindsay, when, as Minister of the Interior in the G0vernment of that great and good man, the Hon Aleimuder Mackenzie, you which does very well, as fires are only required for cooking and to take the dampness out of the air. Cattle may be left. out during the entire year. but pro. spoke to us on the then important issues of "Passive farmers provide open sheds the day. Your present visit forcibly reminds us of the warnings and forebodiugs then given, chiefly by Mr. Mackenzie, but also by your- self, should Canada adopt a. high system of} protection. All that you then said, and l more, has been verified. The National l Policy has been, as you said it would be. a i disastrous failure, especially in the County ‘ of Victoria, composed. as it. is largely, of the farming element. under which they can seek shelter from the heaviest rains. Scarcer any form- ers in the vicinity of Puget Sound at- tempt to keep sheep, on account of the cougars (panthers) and other wild ani- mals that come out. of the woods and devour them. hlr. llIchrtnid‘s live stock consists of a big team for form and road work, a saddle horse. about . ed, and, haviu' very abundant. and there are literally millions of ducks. but they are not good eating, owing to their flesh being taint- ed by the fish upon which they almost exclusively feed. As regards snlmou we are almost afraid to repeat what Mr. McDermid told us. but lieâ€"being at the time of sound mind and in his in- rariahly sober sensesâ€"declared that he had seen a ton of them, the great ma- jority running from ten to twenty pounds each, thrown out of a creole with a pitchfork in two hours; and that thousands upon thousands of them are annually used to fertilize the soil, being sandwiched between layers of homo munurc, which melts them down and assimilates them during the rainy season. As many of our readers no doubt re- member, Mr. Harry Mollermid and his sister, the late Mrs. Joseph McFarlandt. were the only children of Mr. and Mrs. Duncan McDermid, the former of whom died here in June, 1890, aged 78 years, and \lr. McDermid came to the Falls to take his aged mother, who is about 80, to his home on the Pacific Coast, the climate of which will probably suit. her.- bcttcr than that of Canada. They left yesterday. will take the C. P. It. train at Orillia to day, and will prob ably reach theirdestinutiou a week from. tn-morrow. We may remark that Mr. Mchrmid, who is a stout, hearty and: good-looking man of 40, was married ten years ago to a Canadian girl, but neither of the children born to them is. living.
