Thus for ma“fi’ ages the spring flood filled up all the plain till u!u)e waters stretched out like the large lake it had originâ€" ally been, these waters year by Vear left their deposit of soil so that after each inundation the ground was a little nearer the position of dry land. To those wh se knowledge of Geography may not be sufficiently detailed to locate Jeanettrs Creek I may say that it is a navigable stream that enters the river Thames near its exit into Lake St Clair. The railway station bearing the name is within a mile of the lake and less than half that distance trom the river The country here, was originally a large bay that extended into the land bringâ€" ing the clear blue waters away up over more than ten miles of what is now arable land. By slow degrees however the alluvial deposits from the river and its tributary creeks filled up the original lake till first the crest of So, slowly but surely the work otf making soil was going on till in the lapse otf ages there doubtless had stretched fine plains liftted high and dry above the surrounding waters. But this process was tco slow to wait for and so some fifteen years nzo & dredge was broum,ht in an a huge wall of earth was ran round these plains dividing the waters with: out from those that are within. The latter in their season ave remoyed by great wheels that act as pumps and so it comes that in the place where abode the muskâ€"rat and the mosquito are now rich corn fields, beautifal gardens orchards of apples and peack«s and bappy homes tor humanâ€"kind. _ So Jeannettes Croek, Aug Dear Fditor, â€" man‘s devices hastened the work of landmaking out natme in tarn has her revenge by decreeing that since her waters are excluded she wiil conâ€" vey no more soil to fill is up to the original plan but will bear out her earthy cargo to make farms furâ€"mer away in what is now dcep water in the lake. Yet even this revenge does not distarb the farmers in these plaing, they look at the rich soil and its enorâ€" mous vowers of producing weeds and other things and are satisfied. As I enjoy hrere the fresh breath from the lake and see the ships sailing up the river as if they were gliding over the land I cannot but think how unlikely a few years ago, we would have thought of this spot as a place of enjoy ment. Yet toâ€"day it bids fair to be the garden of Canada and but a tew miles off is Oflened up a summer resort known by the suggestive name ot Willow Beach. Steadilv the country is developing, though the severe winter of 1903â€"04 and the high water in the spring des troyed many of the apple trees and scarcely left a wreck of the fine peach orchards that promised so fair. The casaal traveller is apt to think | _ the crops this year worse than usual owing to the luxuriant weeds cveryâ€" where in evidence. I have to confess indeed to a little surprise when I was told that crops were away above the ayerage. The weeds that had imâ€" pressed me, I was assured were but the R aftermath of a rich harvest. Looking at a certain field with weeds as thick | r as a crop of grain ana walst bigh I | ~ was told that is was potatocs that had been planted for an early crop and B had been clear of weeds till the time of the crops maturing. _A little scepâ€" tical I offered to make myselt useful | © by digging a few, and lo! to my | ; surprise out of a forest of weeds there came potatocs as large and plentitul as they are generally produced. 1|\ bave heard of a bungry Englishman who when a Highland woman preâ€" pared him a dish of sewens stated the ( case to some friends by telling them | that a woman took Cirty water and ut it in a pot »nd by the grace of Eod it came out a 1udding. By some metamorphosis of nature in this lan you dig up weeds and find potatoes. However weeds and all, the people are prospering and all through the counâ€" try there is the tale of the best crop that has been for at least three years. Fow things are calculated to give a beiter idea of the greatness of the Amerâ€" ican continent than to get a glimpse of the immense traftic between the eaâ€"t and the weet. â€" It is like putting your hand on some artery, that, at whatever point of the vody jou touch it, you will | feel the great heart throb. â€" Here we »re in the direct stream of trafficâ€"the G T R. the M C R, the C P I, and the Pere Ma»â€" quette have their trunk iines passing Over the peninsula between this point and Lake Erie and the stream of great freight trains and fast expresses vieing with each other in the effort to annibilate time and space on any of these roads tells of the busy lfe with its pressing demands that from the east and the west demands such a service. _ And yei all that these railway» combined carry is bet a amaall fraction of the immense traffic that America supâ€" i ports. _ The week before last with a Sunâ€" | day Setool excursion party I sailed over Lake St Clair, through the lake St Clair canal avd away up to Walpole Island. ‘There on that timeâ€"houored Indian reâ€" serve we rested a few hours and leisurely viewed the stream of vessels coming and going along the watery higoway. There were boats carrying passengers, barges with tugs drawing them, great propellers loaded to the water line, the unsightly whale back, vessoiv of every kind aod variety passing up and down but keeping steady puce at the rate of one every five minutes. A few boors in face of this #tream of traffic gives such an impression 23, Along the western side of this the Aâ€" mericar dredges are busy excavating a new channel. The mode of dredging was to me a novelty. Iustead of the old fashioned dipper with a crane to awiug its load on to a lighter, there is simply a savnd pump with a pipe connection half a wmile or so in length through which the sard and water is forced by compressed air, Away at the other end you see the dirty water rusbhing out and here and there appear the peaks of the new land formed from the resulting deposit. It is safe to say that when it is completed the rew canal will haye a vastly greater caâ€" pacity than the one it is designed to supersede. Bpeaking of the St Clair canal your readers will remember that this channel though prepared by both Governments was, by the final survey declered to ve ail in Cauadian territory. At every proposal on the part of the Americans to take away the bonding privilego, which citizens of both countries haye long enjoyed, the stock rejoinder was the closing of the Canal to American taffic. The Awmeriâ€" cans now seem determined to remove that point of ieverage from the Canadian grasp by making anew one, ll their own. The preseunt channel! is made through the flats of the lake the sand being piled np bebind a buttress made of plank held by piles driven deep into the bottorm. On the strip of land made by the sand thus thhown up are constructed a number of club houses that are a surmer rssort for the wealthy citizens of Detroit. Already I Lave said enough for the space at my disposat yet I crave your indulgence to note the great. pleasure I bad at bearing a sermeon from Dr E Oliver whom I knew on my first charge as a bright, round faced, darkâ€"eyed boy, not yet iuto his teens, Dr Oliver took a disâ€" tinguisbed conrse in the University avd is now employed as a teacher of history in MacMaster Hall. It was a great pleasure to hear him and to know that our church 1s to have in him a worthy representstive of the vigorous young manbood of our country.
