MANY WILL MISS SYMPATHY OF LATE AGENT-GENERAL FOR ONTARIO. (From Anne Merrill, London Corres- pondent Canadian Newspapers. ) It is with personal regret that I write of the death and burial of the late Lieut.-Colonel Richard Reid, Agent-General for Ontario, who was one of the most courteous of all the London officials, to overseas corres- ondents. To-day we stood beside is grave as mourners, Among the publie institutions that will miss his pympathy and practical elp ave the Ontario Militar Hospl- tal at Orpington, the Maple Leaf Clubs in London, and the Canadian Field Comforts Commission, Shorn- cliffe--the latter being the chief med- ium through which the Agent-Gener- al forwarded the great volume of parcels sent by the people of Ontario to the Canadian troops in France. The funeral took place at noon, in St. James's church, Hampton Hill, not far from the historic Hampton Court, and near the King's Canadian Mili- tary Hospital, Bushy Park; the late honorary colonel being accorded full military honors, which included a fir- ing party of eighty Ontario soldiers, all recovered 'casualties' who came up to London this morning from a Canadian camp in England, and who belong to the next draft for France. A guard of honor, composed of Can- adian convalescents came over from the Bushy Park hospital. The services, both in the church and at the grave side, were conducted by Lt. Col. the Rev. Canon Cody, of Toronto, assisted by the Vicar, the Rev. H. Coad Pryor. The occasion was a memorable one. Crowds had assembled at the street corner, near the church, out of def- erence to the Canadian Colonel who had been so well-liked if the neigh- borhood, and they watched the Can- adian cortege approaching from his late residence. A Ganadian band (like the guard, all "casualties') played Beethoven's * wonderful march of death, and as the procession came along, oh so slowly, through an avenue of trees. The morning was like our Indian summer--one of those quiet, brood- ing days, clouded with smoke-blue haze, through which a wintering sun was trying to glow warm. Though there was hardly a breath of wind, the yellow leaves were drifting down in zig-zag flights from the overarch- ing, spent trees; and I thought of the significance of autumn--the falling leaf--and of the Canadian symbol this procession meant---a Maple Leaf had fallen in the mother land. The firing party with rifles rever- sed came. in advance, halting and widening their lines at the entrance to the church, to make way for the gun carriage to pass through, drawn y four jet black horses, one of which was riderless, and bearing the coffin wrapped in the Union Jack and Can- adian emblem.

Dead, his message will resound through others. The chief mourners were the Col- onel's widow, and one son, Lt. Doug- las Reid, of the Canadian Artillery, who has been convalescing in an Eng- lish hospital after the double exper- ience of being gassed and then in a torpedoed hospital ship. The eldest son, Stanley J. Reid, who enlisted with the 82nd at Calgary and later transferred to the 2nd C.M.R.'s was killed in October, 1918. Lieut. Gil- bert S. Reid, M.C., is serving In France. Two other sons are in Can- ada, one formerly with Grey's Horse a battalion of cavalry opseliliahed in Kitchener, Galt and Woodstock, but who was rejected for active service on account of the loss of the sight of an eye; the fifth is mail clerk on the C.P.R. running between Moose Jaw and Calgary. Following the mourners was an open carriage filled with floral offer- ings from friends, as well as from various organizations who endeavor- ed to express their gratitude to their late benefactor in this way. The old fashion of having nothing but white flowers at a funeral has seemingly passed away, with the war, and the carriage was massed with flowers of almost every color. There were wreaths of deep red and creamy ros- es, crosses of Rcliontely spirituelle orchids of palest purple, red and white carnations and lillies. A pillow of snowy flowers from the Colonel's widow bore the inscription, worked in blue forget-me-nots, "God knows best'? and accompanied by a written message too intimately. per- gonal for publication. Around this particular spot, at the grave-side, there lingered, after the crowd had gone, other widows from the neigh- porhood, sorrowing, and I heard one of them murmuring in repetition of what she had seen and,evidently felt, "God knows best.' Douglas's offer- ing bore the one word, "Father." There was a volume in that word. 4/First Hand Impressions Of the Great West (By the Editor.) Now that the influenza epidemic has subsided, relatively speaking, and the Victory Loan campaign is over and working conditions are again nor- mal, we resume our narrative and herewith give the final instalment. The population of Vancouver is possibly more cosmopolitan than that of any other city in Canada, Mon- treal not excepted,and itundoubtedly has a greater Oriental element within its confines than any other city of the Dominion. But for all that, nowhere else does one breathe an atmosphere more redolent of Old Ontario. In the Ghetto, in the Hindu quarters, in Chinatown and Japtown may _ be found considerable colonies of those who speak a foreign tongue and have strange customs and worship gods, but they are i and are not as- similated with life in the city. For the most part those who go to make up the material, moral and intellec- tual, life of Vancouver are, for the most part, from the great English speaking provinces east of the Great Lakes, the majority being from On- tario. The modes.of doing business are the same as prevails in Ontario and even the accent in speech is id- entical with that of our own native born. During our brief stay in the city we had not an opportunity of seeing very many of the former residents of this locality, but we met a few and all seemed to be prospering and satis- fied with their lot in this land of hope and promise. Among those who are in Vancouver are, Dr, James and Dr. Walter Turnbull, formerly of Morn- ington, and Dr, Bert Turnbull, form- erly of Elma, all of whom have ex- tensive practises with a prosperous clientele. Mr. Hugh Davidson, form- erly of Mornington, is manager of Cassidy's Limited, a large wholesale chinaware and crockery concern, and The service, both in the church, and in the little cemetery nearby, was very brief. "Abide with Me," pro- bably one of Colonel Reid's favorite hymns, was sung within and also played by the band, at the conelus- ion of the outdoor ceremony. The salute of the firing party snapped erisply, the eighty sounding like one rifle, its effect being curiously stimu- lating, making one feel that nothing mattered but courage and duty, clin- ching the words just read, over the body of his friend, by Colonel, Can- on Cody. And the coffin was lowered into a laurel-lined grave by six pall bearers, who included Colonel McLar- en, Colonel Guest. Beside the grave grew a cut-leaf silver birch tree, its graceful branch- es drooping down over the last rest- ing place of the body of Colonel Reid; and the wreathes and crosses, offer- ings for his grave were distributed, at the request of his widow, over sev- eral adjoining graves of Canadian soldiers, that had only little wooden crosses to mark them. At the ceremony were Lieut. Gen- eral Sir Richard Turner, V.C.; Mr. Donald McMaster, M.P.;_ Colonel John D. McQueen, D.S..0; Lady Drummond, the Hon. Mrs. Grenville, Dr. W. G. Miller, Toronto; Dr. G. C. Creelman, Colonel McPherson, Or- pington; Colonel Donald Armour, Mr. Percival Ridout, Surgeon General Foster, Colonel Cassels, and the Agents-General from all the other provinces. The King was represent- ed by a staff officer, and the Canad- ian High Commissioner, by his secre- tary. Colonel's Reid's secretary, Pte. A. V. Doran, was also present. MILLBANK _Mr. Wm. Winkler was a business visitor at Toronto this week. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hargrave and family moved to Donegal last week, where Mr. Hargrave has accepted a position as cheesemaker. The citi- zens of Millbank are sorry to lose Mr. Hargraves and family, but wish them every success in their new home. Mrs. Wm. Robertson, of Linwood, spent part of last week with Mrs. H. Stewart and other friends. Mr. Aikens, of Orangehill, is vis- aed his daughter, Mrs. J. J. McFad- in. Mrs. Herb G. Bromley, who has been spending the last three months visiting with friends at Chesley, Han- over and Mildmay is spending a week with Miss Bell Smith, prior to leav- ing for Ottoway and Pembroke. Mr. Albert McCardle left for To- ronto last week, where he expects to remain for some time. Miss Kate McLennan, of London, visited her sister, Mrs. J. Nuhn, dur- ing the past week. Mr. Wm. Hamilton is at present laid up with lumbago. : Miss Mary A Phair is spending a week or two at Guelph. Mr. Alex. Stewart was appointed secretary for the Millbank Cheese & Butter Factory, in the stead of Mr. Walter Hargraves, who has resigned. The school here is closed again this week owing to the influenza epi- demic. Quite a number of new cases are reported. -- Misses Jean and Louisa Suitter spent Wednesday evening as the guests of Miss Bell Smith. Miss Alice Clark left Monday to re- sume her duties as teacher at Yatton. The school there having been closed for the past two months owing to the influenza epidemic. There was no service in Knox church on Sunday owing to some of Rev. Walter Moffat's family being ill of influenza. i Mr. R. B. Hamilton attended the district meeting of the Methodist church at Stratford last week. Rev. d. Peters, of London, occu- pied the pulpit of the Methodist church here on Sunday. Mrs. J. Hooey, of Milverton, visit- ed her mother, Mrs. J. Hammond, one day last week. Miss Isabel Smith spent Tuesday in Newton visiting friends. ' } 6th LINE ELMA The sawers and choppers are be- ginning work in this locality. ry. Wm. Scott spent Sunday at Mr. T. R. Alexander's. Miss Edith Alexander is visiting Miss Gray. Mr. Jack Reid has resumed his old position as plumber with Mr. Adolph. Anyone having Jack will be well sat- isfied with the job. A number of our sports spent an evening at Mr. 'R. Willoughby's. Misses Pearl Hone and Edna Reid are visiting friends in Ethel. What might have proved to be a very serious accident happened last week when Mr. and Mrs. Nutt were eoming from a dance in the wee sm' hours, they met an automobile which was unable to get clear of the ruts and struck the rear of the buggy and threw the occupants out. We are glad to say, however, that nothing serious happened, outside of damag- ing one of the wheels on the buggy. _Mrs. J. Hone spent a day last week with her sister at Ethel. president of the Hasting's Lumber Co. one of the biggest mills operat- ing in the city. He has attained suc- cess in both lines of industry. Drs. Melville and Oliver Large, formerly of Poole, have each worked up a splendid practice in their respective professions of dentistry and medicine and have offices opposite each other, off a spacious and well appointed waiting room, which is in charge of their sister, Miss Addie Large. Mr. and Mrs. A. Large live in retirement in Kerrisdale, a subdivision of the Municipality of Point Grey, where all the privileges of the city such as street cars, electric lighting, water works, are enjoyed, without being subject to the heavier rate of taxa- tion prevailing in the city. A fifteen minutes' ride on the tram car will bring them to the heart of the city. Mr. David Welsh, formerly of Morn- ington, also resides in Point Grey, but we had not the pleasure of again meeting him. Mr. John Westman, who moved west from Regina, bought out the extensive business of the Meredith Fire Insurance offices and is conducting a large fire insurance business, to which he has added a real estate exchange department. He says business has been increasing monthly. Mr. Charles H. Trim, whose wife was formerly Miss Tessie Rutherford, of Millbank, resides during the summer months on Westham Island, and in the winter in Vancouver, has done well in the golden west. He is man- ager of one of the largest canneries in B.C., owned by the Imperial Can- ning Co., who until this year, had several in operation. Mr. Hilliard MacFarlane conducts a drug business at Eburne, one of the suburbs of the city, and we several times passed the store, unaware of his presence and, consequently, had not'an opportunity of renewing acquaintance with him, much to our regret. Mr. J. Bricker, whose wife (nee Miss Ida Kastner, of Sebringville) is well-known to~ Mil- verton people, is connected with a real estate and insurance firm. Miss Pauline Berger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Berger, of Milverton, is the head of the collar department in Drysdale's large store, dealing in lady's wear. ,Messrs. Alex. Dow and H. Fraser, formerly of Stratford, conduct a large banking and loan business in the city, under the firm name of Dow, Fraser & Co. Mr. A. ¥, MeTavish, formerly of North East- hope, is manager of the Burnaby branch. Mr. Dow, about a year ago, suffered a stroke of paralysis, which has left him in indifferent health, compelling him to spend his winters in Galifornia. Mr .Malcolm MacBeth ex-Mayor of Vancouver, the writer's cousin and namesake, with whom, after a separation of twenty-seven years, we had the pleasure of renew- ing acquaintances, was the youngest mayor of any city the size in_ the Dominion, being elected to the Chief Magistrate's chair at the age of 34. Mr. MacBeth is the senior partner of the Northern Securities Limited, which. does a large business in dis- counting automobile paper and do- ing fire insurance,: real estate, etc. He is a native of Bruce county, but went West when still under ten years of age. Mrs. A. E. Menzies (nee Miss Bess- ie Hart) formerly of Hampstead, and cousin of Mrs. MacBeth, has for a number of years been residing in Vancouver. Mr. Menzies is employ- ed in the registration department of the general post office. He is also engaged in mission work in connec- tion with the Presbyterian church. With her splendid climate and her astonishing resources, British Colum- bia is a province with a great future. Her history dates back over a cen- tury and is brilliant with romance and luminious with the shining ach- ievements of her early explorers and pioneers. According to record, Cap- tain James Cook, the celebrated Eng- lish navigator, landed in 1778 at a point on Vancouver Island, which he called Nootka and is believed to be the first actual discoverer of the Pac- ifie coast. Captains Hanna, Meares 'and Vancouver, all coming around Cape Horn, visited the island at dif- ferent intervals from that date until 1792, the latter being the year when Captain Vancouver was an important factor in having the title to the coast from California to Alaska, settled by arbitration between Spain and Great Britain, and turned over to the latter power. In 1793, Captain Vancouver came to the mainland, to the site of the city now called by his name. He enteréd the narrows through which the great ships now pass into the har- bor, and went seven miles up the re- markalbe inlet. He found before en- tering the inlet, a point of land which in honor to his friend, Captain Grey, he named Point Grey. Then he pass- ed through to the harbor, which in honor of Sir Harry Burrard, of the British navy, he called Burrard Inlet er Canal. Then he sailed away and for three score years the solitude was left undisturbed by the presence of the white man; but the names giv- en by Captain George Vancouver in that early day still abide. In the same year Alexander Mackenzie, the gal- jant explorer of the old North-West Fur Company, blazed a way overland to the Pacific. 7 Following these daring movements by sea and land, the Hudson's Bay and North-West Fur Companies pressed on their explorations and es- tablished their posts here and there in New Caledonia, as the new terri- tory was called by the indomitable Scots who did the work. _. Simon Fraser explored the great river which bears his name in the years 1807-08, coming all the way from Fort George to the sea amid great hardships, and _ establishing many forts and posts in the interior. He too, belonged to the North-West Fur Company, and his work in found- ing such establishments as Fort Mc- Leod did much to hold that whole territory for the British Crown. Following Fraser's work in the in- terior John Stuart, Daniel Harmon and David Thompson, after whom the did work in exploring, the latter founding Kamloops and exploring the Kootenays and investigating the course of the rivers. The most remarkable, probably of all the fur trading men, not as an explorer, but\as an administrator, was James (afterwards Sir James) Doug- las, a representative of the Hudson's Bay Company. In 1842, he foresaw that Fort Vancouver and much else was likely to be swept into the United States by the extraordinary Oregon Treaty and he looked up a site for an- other fort and in 1843 chose Fort Camosun (now Victoria) on the south end of Vancouver Island.. That his judgement was sound is evidenced by the fact that Victoria was made the capital of the province and Esqui- malt the British naval base on the Pacific. The Island became a crown colony in 1849, In the year 1851, Mr. Douglas was made Governor, fol- lowing Richard Blanshard, and repre- sentative government was establish- ed and the first assembly convened in August of that year (1856). During this period, the discovery of gold on the Fraser River attracted many settlers to the mainland which was constituted a separate colony, though added to the jurisdiction of Governor Douglas with New West minster as the capital. Discussion looking to a union of the two colon- ies became general. This was finally consummated in 1866. In 1868, Vic- toria was proclaimed the capital of the whole colony, as it remains to this day. The colony was fortunate in its embryo days in having as. its admin- istrator, a man of the calibre of Gov- ernor Douglas, as he exercised the of- fice with splendid ability, vigor and tact. He continued in office for four- teen years and established law and order in the gold diggings and min- ing camps, much in contrast with the condition of affairs in California a few years previous. He was greatly assisted in his work by Sir Matthew Baillie Begbie, who became Lord Chief Justice of the United Colonies, and created throughout the entire colony a wholesome respect for Brit- ish law as administrated by this up- right judge. British Columbia entered the Can- en Confederation on July 20th, 1871. From Vancouver to Victoria, which is situated on the southern end of Vancouver Island, is a distance of about 80 miles and is reached by steamer in about five or six hours, We boarded the C.P.R. steamer Prin- cess Alice and were not on board long before we ran across Mrs. W. B. Free born, of Millbank, and her daughter, Miss Olive, of Vancouver, who were on their way to Seattle. Shortly af- ter setting sail a heavy fog dropped down and the course of the vessel was guided by '"'moo-cows" or fog horns, that keep blowing in order that the skipper may know his where- abouts. Notwithstanding these pre- cautions, the steamer had a narrow eseape from going on the rocks near Victoria by running a mile out of its course. More alarm was felt on shore by the lighthouse keeper, who through a megaphone shouted: "turn turn! turn! you're going on_ the rocks!" than was at the time felt on the ship. The water in which we were when the alarm was sounded was so shallow that the reversed pro- pellors tore up the whole bottom of the ocean and sent mud, seaweed and kelp floating everywhere. After backing out about a mile, we again got into deep water and in about half an hour the ship was able to anchor safely in dock, where the atmosphere was clear and the sun shining as though no fog existed a few hundred yards out at sea. Victoria is a city with a population of nearly 70,000 and is very charm- ingly situated, overlooking the Straits of Fuca to the Pacific and beyond the Gulf of Georgia, the-. mainland. Across the strait are the beautiful ; Olympic Mountains and far away to the east the white cone of Mount Baker which rises to a height of 11,- 000 feet is conspicuous. The finest buildings in the place are the Empress hotel (the western link in the chain of palatial C.P.R. hotels) and the Par- liament buildings, which rank among the most handsome in America. The Esquimalt & Nanimo Railway with about 180 miles of steel is the only railway on the Island and by natives is said to give a tri-weekly service-- the train goes out one week and tries to get back the next. I think it was a Vancouver man that said they had --; Counter Check Books... | Appleford Counter Check Book Co. This firm turns out only high-grade work at very reasonable prices.

Victoria is not distinctly commer- cial like Vancouver, and is, paras on that account, a more agreeable place of residence for those not act- ively engaged in business. Like Van- couver it certainly is a paradise for lovers of flowers. Geraniums and roses may be gathered freely in the open air at Christmas and flowers bloom the whole year round. Roses and honeysuckles twine galore around almost every door and the well-made roads are' often lined with holly hedges and other fragrant shrubs, bright with bloom. Three miles from the capital, and connected with it by an electric rail- way, is Esquimalt, the station for the Byitish. navy in the Pacific. It has a spacious harbor in which this coast abounds, and forms an ideal rende- zvous for the Imperial fleet. A new eva of ship building has been inaug- arated and a start has been made on thirty vessels for the French govern- ment. The Island of Vancouver, for many years called Quadra and Vancouver, after the Spanish and English com- missioners, who arbitrated the dif- ferences between the two countries, is about 280 miles in length and var- ies from 60 to 80 miles in width and is very rich in resources. The Doug- las fir grows on the island in immense tracts of forest, and rises to a height of from 150 to 300 feet with a dia- meter varying all the way from 3 to 12 feet. Another tree of great value which grows in all parts of the island is the silver or Sitka spruce which is used in the building of the air fleets. The fishing output runs into mil- lions of dollars. The coal deposits are enormous extending from the south to the north and cropping out everywhere. Iron and copper depos- its are numerous and_ extensive, while gold, silver, plantinum and mer- cury have been found. It is said that there is a considerable portion of land suitable for farming. Near Victoria on Saanich Mountain is the Dominion Astrophysical observatory 1n which is the largest telescope in the world, It has a 72-inch reflector. The obser- vatory in addition to being of inter- est itself, commands from its site one of the finest views on the Pacific coast. This mammoth telescope dif- fers from the large telescopes in the world, inasmuch as it is of the re- flecting type. The lens is 72 inches th diameter and is 12 inches thick and weighs 4,340 lbs. It was cast in 'Antwerp, Belgium, and shipped out three days before war was declared. It was ground and polished in Pitts- burg, Pa. 'The director of the ob- servatory is Dr. J. S. Plaskett, a form er Oxford county man. In Victoria we met Mr John Hart, an uncle of Mrs. MacBeth, who, until about ten years ago, resided at Hamp- stead. Mr. Hart escorted our party to many points of interest around the city including the trip to the obser- vatory at Saanich Mountain. Mr. Hart is interested in mining. On our return, we left Victoria at midnight and arrived at Vancouver in early morning. On the return journey home we retraced our course back as far as Revelstoke, a distance of 380 miles, and there we took the south route branching off to Arrow- head, where we took steamer up the Arrowhead Lakes to West Robson and thence by train to Nelson where we again took the steamer up the Kootenay Lakes as far as Kootenay Landing. This trip is one of the most charming that can be conceived of and is daily growing in favor with the travelling public, as it enables the traveller to see a large portion of country in different latitudes. The lakes, though long, are narrow and run through one of the best fruit districts of British Columbia. The C. P. RB. vessels which navigate these lakes are splendidly equipped, but considerably smaller than the craft on the Great Lakes. They are pro- pelled by large wheels in the stern of the boat and are so constructed at the bow that they may be run right on shore at the many ports of call, where they discharge local ex- press and freight and take on goods, which mostly consists of apples and shingles and boxing. At every port many apples were received to be shipped down to the Middle West. Notwithstanding the abundance of the crop, it was not possible to buy them in the stores at a less price than three for ten cents. They could be bought for the same price after pack- ing and shipping charges had been paid at Regina and Winnipeg. At Kootenay Landing we took the Crow's Nest line and proceeded to Medicine Hat, during the night. This did not permit us to see the famed MeLeod country, but from reports received it was an "off" year in the district. At Frank, however, thanks to the splendid moonlight, we had an opportunity of getting a glimpse of the great mountain slide which took place some years ago. The mountain seemingly fell over and the pinnacle is to-day 500 feet lower than before the fall. The railway tracks were covered to a depth of 40 feet and a portion of the town en- tirely obliterated, with a loss of at least 93 lives... The tremendous weight carried the debris in its course for a distance of two miles. One boulder, over a mile away, is said by scientists to weigh not less than 15,- 000 tons. Whether this rock was at the top or the bottom of the moun- tain, has been a matter of much ¢con- troversy, but scientific opinion seems tofavortheideathatitwas at the bot- tom and driven forward by the sheer weight of the force behind. The only other incident of a similar na- ture recorded is that of a mountain slide in Switzerland that took place more than a century ago. From Medicine Hat we proceeded to Regina, where we picked up the junior member of the party and com- menced the trek home. When we ar- rived at Fort William, the big boat Keewatin was waitingand as itwas her last passenger trip down the lakes for the season she was in no hurry to leave her moorings. This gave us an opportunity to see how cargoes were piled in the holds of a big ves- sel. One could hardly conceive that so much produce could be stowed away below decks. Tn the docks were a number of ves- sels under construction for the Brit- ish, Canadian and French govern- ments, and a naval crew had just eome from France to take possession of a large mine sweeper that had just been completed and we had the priv- ilege of witnessing them at practice before starting on their trip to the sea. Here we met our fellow townsman, Mr. J. G. Hamilton; who like oursel- ves, was hieing homeward with all haste, after spending a month with friends in Manitoba. The journey down the lakes was a very pleasant one, but was without incident of note. Port McNicholl was safely reached and a few hours train ride brought us back to good old Milverton. It has been officially announced at the Records Office, Ottawa, that battle casualties in the Canadian Ex- peditionary Force have practically all been reported. ~ Watch for our Big Christmas Advt.
