Dickson, O. L. S., of Fenelon Falls, has an interesting article in the May number of Rod and Gun, giving an account of some of the exploration work he has done in the north. Mr. Dickson, after urging the advisability of intend- ing prospectors taking n course at some school of mineralogy before undertaking to look for minerals, goes on to speak of the farming possibilities of the north, and'says: “It is still a diflicult matter to con- vince the public that Ontario owns any arable land north of the Height of Land. The opinion is still pretty generally ex- pressed tbat, no matter what the quality of the soil, the district is too far north for successful farming. I would call the attention’ of all such pessimists to the fact that the parallel of forty-nine de- grees is the south limit of Canada. west of the Lake of the Woods, and what country has produced so much grain, acre for acre, during the past ten years as has our great North-West. It has been my privilege to have seen nearly two millions of acres of the large area which Ontario has now divided into farm lots, and I have no hesitation in saying that fully sixty per cent. of it is good arable land, with sullicient valua- ble timber thereon to do more than pay for clearing. “In many portions of what. is now called the garden of Ontario, not only had clearing to be done under great dif- ficulties, but also much heavy and costly work in ditching. The clearing of the heavy growth of timber in Old Ontario was accomplished at a time when the blazing log-pile was almost the only means ayailnblo for its disposal. After this work was done large trunk ditches had to be made for drainage purposes before the land could be brought into a state to yield its best. “ In the northern section,although the country is comparatively level, Nature has been so lavish with streams of all sizes, and pure water is in such abund- ance that all the husbandman has to do to provide a perfect network of natural ditches, is to clear out the fallen timber with which they are choked up, and cut away the beaver dams. “ 1t should never be forgotten, but should on the contrary he emphasised, that the northern boundary of the land now surveyed in Northern Ontario is Fon'rY MILES SOUTH 0F TllE CITY 0r‘ menuac." Address and Presentation. A very pleasant joint meeting of the Ladies Aid and Women's Auxilliary of St. Andrew's church was held on Mon- day evening at the home of Mrs. Samuel Sharpe. The object of the meeting was to prosent"Mrs. Andrew Torrance, who for twenty years, has been a faithful member and worker in St. Andrew's congregation, with a purse of gold and a. farewell address. Mr. Wm. Campbell, . who wasprcsent at. the meeting, spoke in high and complimentary terms of Mrs. Torrance and her family, referring t0 their honest, industrious and useful life as residents of Fenelon Falls, and spoke of the way in which each member would be missed in the community. Mrs. Tor- rance thanked the ladies and the con- gregation and appreciated more than she could tell them at that time, the kind way in which they had expressed their recognition of her efforts in the past. The presentation was made by Mrs. Sharpe and the address, which was as follows, was read by Mrs. John Nor-they. Dear Mrs. Torrance: We, your friends of St. Andrew's congregation, having heard that you are soon to depart, are assembled here this evening to convey t'o you an expression of our appreciation of your untiring zeal towards our church and people, ln our Auxilliury you are ever ready to do your utmost for the sending forth of the gospel. And in caring for tbe church you truly followed the Divine command, “ Whatsoever thy hand findcth to do, do it with thy might." We pray that God's presence may be ever with you in your having been seriously hurt in an explo- sion there on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Campbell and family, of Calgary, Alta., paid a short visit to their relatives and friends at the Falls. They came on Saturday and left for the West again on Monday, but re- turned on Friday to attend the funeral of Archibald McArthur, Mr. Campbell’s grandfather. Miss Beal, Mrs. McDiarmid, of Lind- say, and Miss Charlotto Wegg, B. A. of St. Thomas spent last Thursday with M rs. (Dr.) Sims. Dr. S. J. Sims left on Wednesday m0rnâ€" ing to attend the annual dental conven- tion in Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Moore and family left Lindsay on Thursday for Saskatoon. Messrs. Archibald McArthur, of Tor- onto, Ne'il, of Chicago, and Alex, of Lind- say, were at the Falls attending the funeral of their father, Mr. Archibald McArthur, who died on Thursday. Mr. J. B. McArthu'r, of Cheboygan, Michigan, p blil'other of the deceased, is also at the 1‘a s. ' Scenes. in a ‘uniBii i Depot. Bobcaygeon Independent. Miss Luella. Z. Drake, reader and Indy baritone, presented an Entertain- ment at the Town Hall on Friday even- ing , that was pleasing and amusing. With over forty local assistants, Miss Drake gave a performance after only two rehearsals which disclose to a sur- prising cxtont- the talent which exists, and what can be done under skilful and energetic direction. Miss Drake is a clover actress and a singer with wonder- ful control ofau unusual voice, which she displayed in her number “I love you all the time," .uking both.mnsculinc and feminine parts. The Automobile so'ngwus a pretty feature, Miss Drnko giving a surprise by bringing out Mr. W. [lender- son as a vocalist. 'l'hey sang together, while little girls twirling white parasols gave the auto effects. The entrance of nine chorus girls, the same number of young men, and a lot of others fillod the Depot with a splendid tableau. 1t is then that a widow finds shc has lost hor ticket and purse, and the Chorus Com- pany give a performance to help her out of her diiliculty. The young ladies dressed alike in brown and white, brown dross, white blouse, and brown hats and veils, presented as charming a- picture as could be produced by any village in Ontario.” Miss Drake will appear at the Falls 0n Friday, May 7th, under the aus- pices of the Public Library. ST. Annunw's Cnuncu.â€"0n Sabbath next the pastor, Rev. C. S. Lord, B. 1)., will conclude his series of sermons on H “ Last Things. Subject in the evening, “ Heaven-a place or a condition.” REPAIRING Tun PUMP.--l\lr. Foster Kelly removed the electric pump from the Kawartha Hotel a few days ago and sent it to Toronto for repairs, which will cost a considerable sum. The pump was frozen up in the fall of 1907‘, and was made to work last summer by patch- ing it up temporarily. Srnncx BY A Coma-On Wednesday, while a colt belonging to M r. Wm.Smit-h- son was having its first experience in being shod, it suddenly roared up nnd' struck out with its front' feet, striking its owner, who was standing near, full in the face, making three or four nasty cuts, which were attended to Dr. John- stone. - ASSISTANT Locmus-rnn Arroxxrnn.â€" Mr. O.

He will attend to all night lockages, and look after the light- house built last summer a short distance above the railway bridge.

The fairy extravaganza, “While Mortals Sleep," was well carried through, and the fairy costumes of the little girls and the brownie suits of the boys presented a very attractive appearance. “The Professors Round Up ” brought out | some good acting and was very much ' new home, and we ask you to accept this I enjoyed by the audience. All‘ the par- pursc as a slight token of the esteem in- which you are held‘ by your may friends. After the presentation and address, tie'ipants acquitted themselves- very ereditabl'y. The singing, both in this- play and in the extravaganza, was a most pleasing feature. Mrs. F. Ruther- dainty refreshments were served by the , ford, M r. A. A. Cameron, and .M r. Geo. ‘ladies, and all joined again in good - Wilson each gave a very accept-ably ro- wishes for Mrs. Torranco's happiness eeiived solo during the play.

The May Rod and Gun. > Variety is the dominating feature of the May number of Rod and Gun 1n Canâ€" ada, published by W. J. Taylor, Wood- stock, Ont. In accord with the season there are some good fishing stories, while hunting receives such a full share,‘ of attention that moose, deer, bear; wolves and wild geese all have parti- cular stories given up to them. Two fine exploration papersâ€"â€"an illustrated review of Mr. Tyrell's book, “ Through the sub-Arctics of Canada," and one by Mr. Jas. Dickson, O. L. S., of Fcnelon' Falls, describing a personal trip through Northern Ontario-give us some little idea of how much remains to be don'o in exploration work in Canada. Mr. Clapham has another fine dog article, “ The Beagle for Sport," which all dog-lovers will peruse with interest.- The decision of the Ontario Government to have licensed guides is noted and the‘ Order-in-Council dealing with the mat- ter printed in full. Mr. Cy. Wa'rman's paper on Wild Life appeals to every lover‘ of the outdoors and cannot fail to . have some effect in the direction the author wishes. This number completes the tenth volume, and attention is» drawn to the work of the magazine in Forest, Fish and Game Protection and the manner in which the movement in. its favor has spread throughout Canada. The position achieved by the magazine is dwelt upon with pride and credit given to all those who have assisted Canada's sporting magazine to reach its present posit-ion. It‘ future numbers are as good as this birthday issue-and we are assured that not only will the high standing be kept up but efforts made to. improve upon it-therc can be no doubtf- at all as to the future of Rod and Gun. The magazine has now secured for itself a position not easily to be shaken. BOB-N. BURGOYNE.â€"At Fenelon Falls, (‘in Monday, April 26th, 1909, t0 M r. and. Mrs. C. W. Burgoyne, a daughter.
