A serious difficulty is prese nfi;)g itself as to the supply of materials for the many bridges required. Till lately the material used was wood, but present prices rule that out of the question. A few larger bridges were constructed with abutments of stone which wes imâ€" ported from Amberstburg, and girders of steel, but the stone groyed very exâ€" pensive. At present the materials in general use are cement and steel. â€" For smaller culverts, tiles from 1 to 3 feet in diameter are being put in while for the The orator on the platform with his address in his pocket felt his heart beat as if the chance ot his life had come, Mayor and aldermen strutted about wit{\ all the weight of dignity they could carty. â€" There were brief introductions, hearty cheers from the crowd. then a pause, a painful pruse, but the orator neyer drew out his speech, for why ! it was discoyered at the last moment that no pistols were there to present. _ Each lnoEed on the other. till, " toot" said the train and the prince was gone. The " Chathaimn Planet" of that date declares that "the Prince of Wales was no doubt fully ten minutes standin:g on the platform of the Royal car awnitâ€" ing the pistols and at last was compelled to go away without them." . Who was responsible for this fiasco it is hard to say though it seems to have been the result of jealousies regarding the places . of honor for the occasion, but if rumor is to be believed, it was thought a very funny thing by His Royal Highness, who is said on a recent occasion (o have recalled the incident to a Canadian representative as one of the amusing experiences of royal travelling. Ditching and Cement. l The couniry around is steadily adâ€" yancing, rnew difficulties arising with \eVery step of progress. It is a long time since we as bol&s used to listen to our genial neighbor, Mr. John Kerr and my father evening after evening discuss the "draining of the? creeks." The initlative in this movement was taken by the Sanfield McDonald Government in 1870 and the work of digging begun a ear later. _ Already the ditch making zaa outgrown the furthest reach of imagination indulged in, on those nightly discussions. Drains have grown almost to the dimensions of canals and with the growth has come a corresponâ€" ding development in the tools used in digging, till now, not only pick and |â€" spade, but eyen the plow and scraper are being superseded. _ For the larger | . drains tSe present digger is a steam |â€" dredge which runs on track laid in the [ bottom of the drain which cuts its way | ; through, casting up a mound to the ‘1 right and to the left. Speaking of the old days in Chatham a very amusing story is to!ld in connecâ€" tion with the visit of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales in 1860, which by the way may hayve been less amusing to the original actors than to the present readers. _ It seems that the design was that the prince should_ proceed from Detroit without stop to London. but on the pressing invitation of the citizens of Chatham be arranged to stop to be presented with a pair of Derringer pistols. _ The changed program | was everywhere announced, and UChatham and the surrounding country turned out, as was estimated, to the number of twenty thousand. In due time the royal train arrived and the prince apâ€" peared. As if encouraged by the renovation of the streets the merchants have all of a sudden awakened to the desiratulity of beautifying their buildings. _A great improvement in architecture is noticeâ€" able during the last few years. Things have changed since the disreputable «* pork row " used to grace the centre of the town, and now plate glass and artisâ€" tic front decoration testify that Chatâ€" ham has at last awakened to the conâ€" sciousness that it is no longer a country town, but one of the rising cities of the Dominion. I on niatinfndatifintar ind a hntd tdsc d 1i d 10A iA ed by Macadam, pressed down by steam rollers, but the corduroy and plank rotted and gravel and Macadam were swallowed up in the hungry maw of the deep mud, which like the kine of old time was hungry as ever. Still human device struggled for a remedy and in turn cedar blocks, asphalt, cobble stones, &c., were tried, but all in yain. The tossings over those streets were such as the waves of the angriest sea neyer produced. For a time imdeed, it seemed as if citizens and alderman were resigning theanselves in grim despaur to the inevitable. _ But of late years the hope has been awakened that even Chatham streets may be made passable. The process of renovation is to dig out the present street to the depth of a fool or more, Iay in this bed a thick fHooring of cement and then place on top of that a pavement of vitrified brick cemented together with asphalt. _ So far it seems as if at last success were to crown their efforts though not without a heayy load being laid on the tax payer. but so fearâ€" fal were the former conditions that the I high rates searcely provoke a grumble,. Many chauges have taken place since those stirrinr days ; only by an effort of the imagination can we tlÂ¥ink of the present country as a solid forest reâ€" sounding with the Indian war whoop, but through all the changes of men, and all the transformation of the coun. try Chatham still retains its reputation as the land of mud. _ A history might be written recording the struggles to overcome its power. _ There was the primitive corduroy, then the closely laid plank road, then the gravel followâ€" Chatham, Aug. 22, 1903. To the Editor of the Review, I am once more on the banks of the Thames a few miles from the scene of the tinal struggle in the ill starred expedition of Proctor when nearly a hundred years ago Tecumseh and is braves rendered their names illustriouns. When I was bere last there was drawn up on the opposite bank of the river the bull of one of the British gunboats which had been burnt to the water‘s edge to prevent its capture by the vicâ€" torious Americans. 1 am mlyd it was sold to an enterprising firm to be made into canes and ornaments as souvenirs of the struggles of the past. _ The hull of the other gunboat still lies at the bottom of the river to await a like resurrection and â€"transformation should there prove to be money enough in the yenture.
