From the Land 0' Heather. DURHAM Caaomcm-z: Damn SIR,â€"-I have no doubt out you sad your readers may be thinking 'that I have forgotten my promise al- together in not writing some more of my trip. Well. as you all know, I came to} Scotland more for my health {which} is still improving) than for sightsee-l ing. hence my delay in not giving: you another sketch, as Ihave not: been very many places of great inoi terest. I will give you a sketch of a; low of my trips around this district.§ 'With regard to Glasgow I am not: going to say very much at present]; as nearly every time I have been there has been on business although I have seen a few of the places of in‘ l terest. My first trip to GlaSgow took l me to the Royal Burg of Rutherglen to see some friends, one of whom visited Durham a few years ago and who gave me a right good hearty; welcome. Taking the trolley car from the Cross it is a short run down ' Saltmarket and a little way along' Crown St. the route turns into Ruth- f erglen Road. Passing through Hutchesontown and along to Oat- lands Ferry. a snot rendered notori- ous by the shooting of three poor Covenanters. who were weavers in Little Growan near at hand in 1685. Opposite lies the part of Glasgow green known as the Flesher’s Haugh on which the young Chevalier review- 1 ed his little army on one of the last days of 1745. Just before the cars enter into Rutherglen we pass a region of Brickfields and great chem- ical works, which do a great business. As a Royal Burgh Rutherglen dates from 1126, and it’s bounds at one time included the ground on which Glasgow now stands. There are quite a few places of interest to be seen, but suffice a very few for this sketch. The mosr. interesting relic in the place is the tower of the ancient kirk in which a short-lived peace was made between England and Scotland in 129T, and in which a few years lat.- lu liIa’.’ “nu 5“ VI “avâ€"- '- â€"v -- er. Sir John Menteith made‘llls bom- pact to betray Sir William Wallace, the liberator of Scotland, who fog-ghg --v --v‘â€" so well against the English. Blind Harry at that time wrote about this Kirk “ A messenger Schyr Aymer has gart pass on to Schyr J hon. and sone a tryste has set. At Burglan Kirk thir twa tOgydder met.” Many are the traditions about this old Kirk, but let them pass. as near to here, while teaching in Rutherglen that John Wilson tinished his “_ Clyde,” one of the finest of Scottish topo- graphical poems and from here he found an appointment in Greenoch where he had to abide by the condi- tion to abjure " the profane and un- profitable art of poem making.” Though their ancient rivalry is long forgotten, Glasgow lips still find singular difficulty in pronouncing the Benediction. “ Let Buglen’s wee ronn’ red lums reek briskly?” and no doubt it will trg, some of your best Scotch readers, let all try it. Before leaving Glasgow let me say a few things in connection with its muni- cipality which is copied from the Denver News, a leading Colorado pa I " You seem to be proud of your city.” 1 suggested invitingly to one gentleman I met over there. " Of course I am,” he replied, ”Glasgow sells me gas at twa shilling (48 cents) per thousand cubic feet ; it gives me telephone service a little more than half what it cost from a private company ; it sells me water and elec- tricity and does a lot of other things; As for Glasgow trams or trolley cars they beat the world.” The following will give a faint idea of the city’s undertakings. The city’s properties are worth $95.000,000, and the annu- al revenues from reproductive un- dertakings alone exceed $15,000,000.l To day one may ride a half mile for‘ one cent. two and one-third miles for two cents, and three and one-half miles for three cents. \Vhat does the average rider pay ? In 1905 it was 1.89 cents, while the average fare charged per mile was 9-10:of a cent. And the cost to the city for carrying the average passenger (not including interest charged) was jusr. under one cent in 1905. The Glasgow tramways could pay all the operating expenses, could maintain the system, could pay per.

It 1 could do this and still make money. :The price of gas has been reduced i from year to year. It was 78 cents gin 1885, 60 cents in 1895. and to-day } it ranges from 43 to 51 cents. While 7the capital expenditure is $18,319.- 7170. the present actual indebtedness 3 is but $9,340,200. The surplus of ex- I V; penditure over and above the debt! ~. ; against the undertaking is $8,978,870 . I It pays 310.000 per year for a town :lf Clerk which is its mosc salaried ofice :} which combines the duties of the city Ugsolicitor as well as all the clerical L, duties of the city. Glasgow says it . . would be juSt as absurd for the own. , , er of a skyscraper to permit a private ' elevator company to collect fates " from its tenants. or for an outside t plumber to own the fixtures and col- .glect for light and heat, as it is for a _ 3 city to turn over its streets to private ; tramways, gas and electric lighting _ companies. The motive of it all: ’ “ Men like to be in the midst of big ”things. They like to serve the com. ,;munity that serves them.” said Dr. ”Robert Crawford, one of the city’s most distinouished citizens, aman £9 ' :;a sense of noblesse oblige.” said Lord . Provost Primrose ; an ambition to 'l‘rnake. the city acleaner, healthier, happier. more comfortable place to ”live. " It’s my city.” says the man _ ion the tram. There are a great many places of much inter-es: to sightseers of which I will give a more interesting sketch after I have visited them. Let this sufiice for GlaSgow at present. Leaving Johnstone about 8 a. m. ‘ 1 Saturday morning the 23rd June and! t arriving by train at Greencch, I took ‘f a pleasure boat, the Jupiter, and had i 1 a sail through the Kyles of Bute {1 which was lovely. Leaving the < sights on the Firth of Clyde which I 1 ‘ mentioned in my first letter, I would } 1 refer to what is to be seen at Rothsay ‘1 and the rest of the trip. Rothsay" lbeing sheltered on the bay and ‘3 by high hills behind, is always avery nice place for holiday seekers, as the wind can hardly ever get at it in its sheltered nook, it has got the name of being the warmest town in Scot- land and in winter is frequented by those who are in poor health and can afford a change of climate, as one hardly ever feels the cold there. It also has its old castle and gardens with its water moat around and its drawbridge of olden times. - As it is a long time since I visited it I am not going to say much about it. Its o d' Church and burying place where all the Marquises of Bute have been bur- ied, is also frequented much by tour- ists. Leaving Rothsay behind we soon come to the Kyles which are not very wide and the land on either side is looking lovely with its few houses here and there and the tents of the campers who are trying to find new vigor and health, can be seen all along the shore for miles, the white round tents making a very pictur- esque scene. At present there are six old man '0 wars lying in the , Kyles which draw the attention of l the tourists. but as they are old and ,l'condemned there is only a watchman to be seen on them and one hears the , remark from some of the passengers , “the has beens” who give place to 3. those bearing their own name as I noticed that one of them bore the name " Dreadnaught,” which has been replaced by one of the same name, is the largest war vessel afloat and was launched in the Government navy yard last year. l I w IV’HW'I J. KELLY. We then come to the straits or narrows and when looking from the steamer one wonders if the boat can go through safely as it looks so dano gerously narrow. but we get through safely although when standing amid ships and looking on either side of the boat there is nothing but rocks with foam rising from the surge of the boat going through. The foam and spray is all the water that is to be seen at this point unless you look ahead or behind. After getting through the narrows we turn into Leghnabruaich Bay. I got 0E at the pier and spent the rest of the day? enjoying very much climbing the hills and tramping through heather knee deep, and very sorry I was to find that it was not quite out in bloom. Just before entering this bay I forgot to mention that we passed the “ The ; Maids of Bute.” two stones lying so I close together and looking so much I like maids that they have received Arriving in Greenoch I called on some friends, one or whom has since sailed for New York. Greenoch is famous because it is nearly always raining there. A little boy being asked by a traveller if it always rain. ed in Greenoch said “Na. it some- times snaws.” - Of course it has other things for which it is famous. At one time 1: was a great sugar re- fining centre and to-day has one of the lzréest sugar mills in the country and also its great shipbuilding yards which I referred to in my last letter. Now I’ll try and give you a short sketch of Paisley. It has a papula- tion of 87,472. Here is where the J. P. Coats, tne Clerks 8.: Kerr’s N. w -v vvâ€"'_ M. T. sewing thread mills are with their thousands of workers. It is a great sight to see the workers coming from their work of an evening. one has no conception until they see the thousands wending their way in every direction One place of great interest is the ‘3 old abbey with its old grave yard.l‘ AnOther is the Coat’s Memorial : Church which took about «5' years to: build. It is all solid masonry except ‘ the floors, seats and doors which are all of oak. This 0 hurch is a memor-l ial to one of the Coats of the thread! mills. I might mention here that! one of the streets “ Causewayside,” which was so narrow when I left that two carts had hardly room to pass, and the sidewalks were just wide , enough for two persons to pass, is now twice as wide as any Street in l Durham. This has all been done for l the improvement of the town and to get the old houses pulled down, and fine new large and up-to-date ones put up so much farther back, so that the trolley cars have plenty of room along with other trafic. Truly every- thing is changing here. The Clark Town Hall, a gift to the town by Geo. A. Clark of Clark’s thread mills, is also a very fine building with its clocks and chimes. There are quite a few parks, the two main ones being? 'Brodick Park. a gift with its wild beasts and birds of all kinds by a Mr. Brodick, and the Fountain Gardens in Love street, where there is a fine , statute of Robert Burns standing at , the plough. This town was the g birthplace of two of Scotland’s finest , poets, I mean James Wilson and R. , Tannahill, whose statues are near the l old Abbey and facing the Town Hall. I Paisley has always been getting gifts and the latest is the Dunn square. just at the cross and is much frequnt- ed by weary travellers waiting on the cars. This is a gift from the late M. P. for the district, Mr. Dunn. Paisley at one time was famous for its Paisley shawls woven by the in- habitants. but as steah and power has put out of existence almost- alto- gether the old hand loom. weaving these shawls is a thing of the past. I remember many happy days Spent in one of Paisley’s old weaving shops now a dwelling house, not more than a hundred yards from where the poet Tannahill was. born and where he used to Work at the weaving. Now. I am only giving a mere out- ‘ line of what is to be seen, and I am‘ trying to make it as interesting as possible. but I am a little afraid I have not the knack of making it of very much interest to many of your readers. However. in my nexc le - ter I will perhaps improve as I in tend giving my trip to Sterling and the Trossachs. So for the present I’ll ring ofi and hope your readers will net weary too much with this dry reading. ‘ Joe Watson. of Rocky Sauzeen, Spent. Saturday at home.

Lediard,Q than whom no resident of Owen. Sound enjoyed a larger or more Q merited share of esteem from all with Q S whom the duties of his life brougth 1 him into contact. The cause of death Q was an abcess of the brain. fromQ I ... which the reverend gentleman had been ailing for the past eleven weeks. His characteristic cheerfulness coupl- ed with his implicit trust in Him, whomfhe had served so faithfully throughout his life of 60 years, sus , tained him in his illness and enabled Q him to meet the approaching end without murmuring. He sufiered the most a cute pain for several weeks and a short time ago relaxed into a semi-comatose condition which ter- minated fatally Actively identified, as Mr. Lediard was, With every re- form movement calculated to uplift the moral, intellectual and educa-Q tional status of the town, the regret following his demise is universal and most profound. While be occupied the pastorate of the Disciples’ church his cheerful Christian life and the non-seetarian tendency of his teach ing swept away every barrier of de- nominationalism and efiected for him an entrance into the hearts of all. Q The fact that he filled capably the presidency of the Owen Sound Min- isterial Association for aconsiderable time attested the recognition of his ability by his fellow-clergymen. Of his work in connection with the Chil- dren’s Aid Society little need be said. Here, as elsewhere, did his ability bring him to the fore, and scores of friendless waifs throughout the . province, but more especially in Grey ' County, were raised from misery and ’ degradation to a happy Christian en- vironment by his fatherly interven- tion; truly he hearkened unto the divine injunction to comfort the fatherless. Mr. Lediard was born in Cirencester, England, 60 years ago In 1869 he came to Canada with his wife and after spending a few months in Quebec City, he came to Toronto, where he remained eleven years. He entered the Disciples’, ministry during this time and left for Hillsburg, Ont., and later was stationed in Ridgetown and in Lobo, before coming to Owen Sound 16 years ago. Besides his church work be interested himself in the work of S the Children’s Aid Society and some 1- years ago he was appointed their general agent for this section of the - province His connection with the r society was such that he soon recog- =r nized as one of the leaders in the work in the province, and his duties .8 became such that last winter he de- !- cided to retire from the active minis- rf try so that he could devote all his if time to the work of child saving. to g which he had become greatly attach- l ed. Mr. Lediard is survived by a widow, Jennie Baldwin, after 39 years of happy married life, and also by the following family, of five daughters and three sons. all of whom were present_w_hen the end came. They are as followezâ€"Grace, Toronto; Florence, Winnipeg; Mrs, Wm. Nelson, Toronto; Mary, at home; Ella, at home; William 0., Midland; Edward 0., Toronto; and Herbert, Winnipeg.
