A picture of some of the tragedy of early settlement in Muskoka, a brief outline of the different stages through which the district has come and an enthusiastic description of the charms of this great playground country and the possibilities for de- velopment along this line were given to _the Barrie Kiwanis Club on Dec. 16 by G.

J \In:l\IQiI(\A +I\ GA+__ I l J -Someone had referred to a set- tlerjs long deserted and crumbling cabin as buried hopes. This, said : Mr. Thomas, was largely the history ` of early adventurers in Muskoka;i beguiled there to farm, withouti UL'lU5U Uaacuvvc ` `farm \experience. Many of these I even laid down their lives in trying to get a living off land that was not} tted to maintain an agricultural population. It was hard for outsid- ers to realize the privations of these people who went there inhigh hopes born of getting` 100 to 200 acres of land of their own where they might have homes of their own and no rent to pay-. Ninety per cent. of these early` settlers` were sadly dis- appointed men, who found. their supposed farms to consist -almost entirely of rocks. Many of these settlers were men of means and of rather unusual renement. Their eagperience was a tragedy .'in human I`: A . ' 7 me. Mr. Thomas told of one English Colonel with some means` who bought land sixteen miles from Bracebridge, built_ a `villa and pro- ceeded to. lay out an estate, only to nd that his-`property was almost v entirely rocks.
