The most picturesque section of the romantic Trent Valley waters lies west of Sturgeon Point. Besides the highest waterfall in this part of Ontario, these stretches of the proposed great inland steamer route contain the splendid cans. excavations and massive looks that are a credit to Canadian engineering slrill, while all along the route there abound those marvels of natural splendor by which our upper lakes are attaining world-wide fame. There are not many places in the world where the traveller gets the sensation of hill climbing by water as he does while navigating the Trent waters from Lakefield to Coboconk and in no part of the route is that im- pression more acute than between Stutgeon Point and the “University city”. iThe return trip reverses the operation i but in no way diminishes the novelty. ra railway bridge spanning a favorite valley. An old lady at Rosedale whose avocation should render her a better author: y o a angling t'ian art,evidently had some of the great critic's spirit when she said the other day: "This new bridge spoils the scenery here." That her artistic development had not gone on at the expense of other sorts of sagaclty, was illustrated by her comment on the unfin- ished state of the work when she informed her questioner that "there is going to be another election scan and they will do some more at it then," The relation between work on the canal and elections is an important item in the political lore of this region. _ ever held a tent- peg. The time or cross ing in all too short for the tourist to com ward. Past the tree-clad shores behind which the waving harvest lately stood, down where the channel widens, the cur- rent slackens and the banks grow lower. On between great expanses of marsh lands with their luxuriant growths of rice and reeds, the cut, Drummond’s bay, the lighthouses are left behind and like a great horse-shoe with the hold shores of the oak-covered, cottage-studded Point standing out mid-way. Sturgeon lake stretches away to the left and right. Twelve miles have been covered and the watch marks 4.15 as the boat draws away from the Point wharf and after six miles of lake she glides between the steep and rocky banks of Feneion river. The current is strong and the roar of the falls comes down the gorge. Right in front of them the little boat creeps into the shadows of the great lock, and is heaved on the shoulder of the flood sheer 30 feet straight upward till she sails out on Cameron lake to westward. The wind is fresher up there, and the shallow water is tossing and white-capped above its rocky floors. The high, culti- vated shores gather about it like a girdle and all sorts of shadow and sunolicht fall on its troubled waters. To the right a little English church looks down from a high hill, as if keeping watch Over the cataract and village just left beh‘ud. Eight miles soon slip awa y, and Rosedale locks are at the bow. Here more clmb- ing is done and then a 5'; mple sectio \ 0f the Trent Valley canal is reached. It is about a mile long, and is a contin ious excavation in solid rock. The fragm tats that rise like breastwarks on either bank ‘ would be a joy to the good roads promo- ter if they were within his reach. A fine steel bridge spans the canal at Rosedale, which has little else to boast of except its picturesque situation and the natural beauty thereabouts. The denSZens of that locality take pride in this important na‘ionai undertaking at their doors, but have not as yet placed it bevond criticism. “Damnation,” said Ruskin, when he saw Aboard Capt. Varcoe's trim steamer “Maple Leaf,” at 3 p.m. the tourist finds himself swinging into the channel of the Scugog and after threading her way for a mile past the saw-mills with their heavy booms of logs moored at the river banks the little boat darts away under full steam along a winding course to north- LINDSAY T0 008000th LINDSAY, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25th.

A.â€"The development of the Canadian trade has been very rapid, on amount of the superior quality of the stock, together with the improved cure of the largest operator, which has lifted his brand of bacon up to a level platform with the best Danish or Irish. Q. -'I‘he outlook for this trade ? A.â€"â€"The outlcok is exceedingly bad at the present time. Owing to the import- ation of free corn into your country farmers have been feeding this to their best stock. The consequence is that an enormous quantity of soft bacon has arrived here, which has kept the price ot Canadian bacon down 6: to 8: all the season, and unless stopped at once, the pitfalls into which the Irish and Danish farmers have fallen are close upon the threshold of Canadian farmers. This soft bacon cannat be sold within 205 per cwt. of the vow finest brands and qualities of Canadian moon, although the curers have to pay the same price for these hogs, â€"Q. â€"Comparison of Cuiudmn with Irish Danish, and American bacon, with relat- ive valn_es existing in the market- togayi’ A.-â€"What you ahould desire your farmers to do in to keep up continuity of supply f om January to September.

A.â€"There is no danger of the trade being overdone if Canadian farmers are true to themselves and the best interests of the trade, because, however great the quantity of Canadian baoon, it pushes out the cheaper sorts of Danish and Irish, owing to the superior quality of Canadian.

That is to say, the fuel could be turned out in any county in Ontario at the same price as coal at the pits mouth in Pennvslvania, a large element in which is the railway and marine freight between points of production and consumption. If a fuel substantially equal to coal can be sold in Kingston for half the price of coal. every householder and every business man not concerned in the saieof coal will heartly rejoice. The coal men, of course, will quickly embark in the fresh trade. If the new fuel shall displace Pensylvania coal, a doubt benefit will secure. Not only will the consumer be able to save half his customary coai hill, but the money which he spends for dried peat will remain in the country. More money than formerly will be in local circulation.
