PATRICK MARRIED ' AT BRYN MAWR, PENN.

Mr. Preston said ,that Northern On- tario was Canada’s Prize Cow and, Southern Ontario ,was the Milkmaid‘ extracting the cream; and it looks very much like the truth. A lot of money goes out of New .Ontario to help other things and not enough spent here on imfiirovements. For instance, Chicago is stealing the waters of the lakes which she has no right to do and which is lowering the lakes, and, :to‘ make matters worse, one man says that the waters of the Albany River which is near the present Red Lake gold area, can be made to .flow to Lake Superior, instead of James Bay. This would be stealing N e‘wIOntario ’s watchâ€"which we need ourselves for; all time to come, and it‘would help to raise the lakes and ports on the Amer-1 ican shore,‘ thus giving back what Chicago is stealing.
