Susie Mar- icture a little clearing at the side of the railway track in the heart of North Ontario. All about‘ are the hilly forests of Jack-pine. hemlock and flamingi yellow poplar. A brilliant autumn sun falls on lake and forest and rocky cliff and in the centre is a little patch of cleared ground surrounding a tiny log cabin. At is door a woman and three or four sturdy children are grouped. They are listening. From behind the hills again comes the exultant whistle of a locomotivehand in a few moments the train sweeps into view. It flashes past drawn by an engine of the latwt type such as engineers talk of with joy. and including six plumâ€" colored coaches. steel built from end to end. Their varnished sides reflect the warm autumn sun. Bright brass trimmings and polished windows glisten as the train sweeps along; its narrow path towards the West, a thing of pride and power. The children standing beside the log cabin are silent; etch holds a tiny flag that carries to the train a message of greeting, for David Lloyd George is passing by. The little Welshman ‘of humble origin. the war-time Prime Minister of Imperial Britain is on his way from Toronto to Winnipeg and all along the railroad the people come down to see him pass. -w “What a ~country, what a wonderful country! i”. It was Lloyd George who spoke. Seated in the drawing room of the private car at the end of the train he gazed over the countless lakes and endless forests that flew past. About him were one or two officials of the railway that carried him on his way, and a large number of newspaper representatives for whom accom- modation was provided on the train. It was the time of the morning interview. when the press men gathered to ask him questions bearing on the news of the day which had come to the train by radio fnom all parts of the world, but mostly from Europe, and to every question came the Lloyd George answer, quick and to the pointâ€"no evasion. even when the question was a little personal, as now and then it might be.

There seems tn be quite a boom in sweet clove-r this fall. Most of it has been bought up along the line by the two Durham buyers. Prices have been a little better than they have been for a few years. We expect to see slashings of it sowed next-year. Mr. and “18. T. J. M0010 and fa- mih spent Sunday with Malkdalc frimuls. The box social given by L.O.L. 1192 in their hall on Monday night was a decided success. It was an ideal night, with good roads, which forced a full house. Mr. John McGirr acted as chairman and performed his dut- ies to the letter in handling a good programme consisting of vocal and instrumental music. readings, reci- tations, etc. There were a lot of nice boxes to auction off. This, too, fell to the lot of Mr. M'cGirr for chief spokesman and he performed his duties so etl'iciently that we expect to hear of him taking out an auc- tioneer's license before long. After the contents of the boxes were at- tended to the floor was cleared and the young peeple enjoyed themselves in tripping the light fantastic for a brief space of time. This ended an- other enjoyable and profitable ev- ening for Loyal Old 1192. Perhaps we should have individually men- tioned the participants in the pro- mm but as we are rushed for time the day. The twenty odd newspaper peOple from Great Britain, United States and Canada were the pick__of “the game.” They and the moving picture men. the newspaper reporters of the camera, were a “star" (.rowd, and millions of people had from them a daily report of what Lloyd George said, did and looked like during his flying trip over the Canadian Pacific line. It took a lot of accommodation to care for these people. The whole train was the last word in con- struction, and no finer train ever moved over steel rails. It was a credit to Canadian workmanship as is exemplified at the Canadian Pacific Angus Shops at Montreal where it was built, and hundreds of thousands of Canadians admired it when it stood at the Toronto Exhibition this year for that purpose. The baggage car, like all the rest. was of steel. The dining car was in command of “Jimmie” Watson, the man who looked after the Prince of Wales' menu when he made his first trip across Canada. There was an all steel standard sleeper and two of the ten-compart- ment cars that are becoming more and more popular as they are better known. Behind them rode Lloyd George’s private car. Both American and British correspondents had seen nothing better than this train. In some respects they had not seen their equal and they were loud in their praises. When they were told it was regular equipment such as runs on the “Trans- Canada” they were all amazement. Dame Lloyd George and Miss Megan were no less appreciative than was their famous husband and father. They went through the train and examined it all. and the kitchen of the dining car was of the most especial interest to the ladies. After having seen the comfort of the compart- ment cars, Miss Megan appropriated one of the com- partments for her own use. At the conclusion of the itrip Mr. Lloyd George expressed his admiration and gratitude to the Canadian Pacific Railway for the way he and his family had been taken care of while passing .over the line. As far west as Fort William. J. C. Scully, General Manager Canadian Pacific lines accompanied the train, while D. C. Coleman, Vice-President, Western Lines took charge from there on. The press arrangements were taken care of by J. Harry Smith, the Oompany’n Press Representative. (1)-â€"0tneiol' the compartments on the Lloyd George special ru :1.
