U: f" Here are seen a group of Ontario teachers .members of the Canadian Teachers Federation, who, with colleagues from every other province in the Dominion attended the annual convention of the Federation at Victoria, B.C. The Canadian Pacific provided special trains for their accommoda- tion in both directions. Many of them returned via the Kettle Valley and the British Columbia Lake district, but this party referred to pass through the Rockies again. They are seen at Windermere Bungalow Camp to which they made excursion. At Banfi and Lake Louise t ey were'entertained and local teachers organisations and Boards of Trade at many points along their west and east-bound routes turned out to greet the “Teachers Special” and t: :18qu fl); delegates to the convention whatever entertainment time allowed.

Long before Jacques Cartier sailed up the St. Lawrence to discover Hochelaga, a now-for otten race of people were making pilfrima to the Big ock towering above the waters of ake aunawe in Eastern Ontario to observe reli ious ceremonies, .t9 worship before this great natur altar and to propitiate the gods who dwelt within its granite mass. In the backwoods now, five hundred years ago the BifiRock of Bon Echo was in the center of the greatest w .lte pine forest the world has ever known and.on a mam highway between the north and Lake Ontario. There were no backwoods in those days, and the streams were the travel routes for the pagan people who followed the seasonal migrations of the animals With which the forests teemed. To them the Big Rock at Ben Echo must have been a thing of mystery. as it remains today both to arche- ologists and geol . ts. None can reconcile the sheer untouched face wit the glacial markings along its top, and in the same we the paintings along the face are an unsolved riddle. ‘ Who put them there"? and “what do they mean”? are unanswered questions. Along the face of the BI Rock a few feet above the waterline are the hieroglyp c records of an unknown people. Painted in 9. Virtually imfienshahle paint, whose com- position is unknown, and w ich has defied the weathering effected of mud and water, these records bame the arch_eologists _of the contingit. Whether they have a warlike or reli 'ous significance ia not known, althou h some people hol that they record a great victory o the Iroquoia over the Hurons and Algonquin: and have been written in some involved and mystic code. A more conservative interpretation claims that the aintinga of the Big Rock are trail marks, records of the Eunt, aignboardajor othc travellers. The natives of the backcountry claim that thug hold the aecret to the treasure cave located in the och, and that the aolution of their riddle would open the entrancewa to th 1 Iostfilverpf the Indians. y e on: From Brockvflle wtew'wl‘renton, on the shores of Lake Ontnrio, the legend of Meyer'e Cave has lon permuted. The hint of such a cave first came when ti from the country to the non]:l brought m but: of native w. ldt Above. latâ€"The 31¢ Rock in which Indian Treasure Hidden at 3011 Echo SOME size to these long-legged creaturesâ€"eh what? Bet some of you overseas veterans will say they’re almost as big as some of the trench cooties you “felt" over in France. But these birds are not of that species. They’re Japanese crabs which the women folk over in Nippon consider a delicacy. This pair ought to make a meal for a whole family. It is an improbable story but one thing is certain .. in the Meyers family there are s as made from the Silver he brought down with him. e left a mag; draw 11' from memory and in time this fell into the han of a lawyer. George fierrill, who went north and relocated the cayv. in company with another man. Loth to divulge the di.\'- covery, he did nothing for some ears and when he did return the fires had swefit throug the backcountry and had altered its typograp y to such an extent that he was never able to locate it again.

Today in. a sheltered hollow there are a few rotting logs at rig'lt angles to mark his home. The trader took what guantities of the metal he could place in his knapsack an in his pockets. and departed. making as accurate a mental record of the location of the entraneeway as he could. His companions would not allow him to blaze a tree, or to place a cairn, for by this time they were beeomi frightened over their betrayal of the secret. The s 1 party set out for home but cream: the lake at the headwaters of the Skoot River, their canoe was swamped by a heavy storm, and the Indians abandoned Meyers who had made his way to shore with dimculty. In order to save himself from drowning he was forced to throw awa all but a small uantity of silver carried in the poc ets of his coat. tthout food. his firearms gone, ill, wet and hungry he reached Belleville after ten ays hardshi . As a result of the exposure he took pneumonia and di in the course of few months.
