Albert Wein, a farmer from Chamerâ€" lain township, near Englehart, is ‘in hospital at Haileybury following illâ€" ness overtaking him at the district jail. He was being held in the jail for preliminary hearing on a charge of attempted suicide. Whiie thus held he suffered fainting spells and is was felt best to remove him to the hospital. He is understood to be in a serious condition. Wein, who is a married man with a family has recently been greatly worried over keeping up his payments on his property. Apparently in addition to illâ€"luck he has suffered from illâ€"health, and some days ago he is said to have tried to end it all by cutting his own throat.

TROUBLES PROVE TOO GREAT FOR ENGLEHART FARMER NEW LISKEARD MEN HAVE @UNX GOING FISHING NOW The New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€"*"The trout season opened Wedâ€" nesday morning and many of the boys have already been out trying their luck. We are told that a number of those interested in Spring Lake trout preâ€" serve spent the greater part of the day at that place on May 1. Charlie Greenwood is said to have been the first to land at the lake on Wednesday and after catching three beauties deâ€" cided to call it a day. However Charâ€" lie was not the first to leave town for the lake. One member had him beatâ€" en by a considerable distance, but, unfortunately, he suddenly discovered that he had left his bait at home and had to turn back for it. This reminds us of an instance where two young fellows left town in a row boat to watch a certain place on the Muskoka River for deer. When about half way to their "spot" they made the discovâ€" ery that their only gun had been left leaning against the boat house. _ Ed. has our spmpathy."

Interesting Map Issued. Some Notes on the Early Story of Kenora and Its District. Nearly half of the region is covered by Lake of the Woods, and the various tortuous channels of the picturesque Winnipeg: river to the north of it, with the numerous tributary lakes and streams of both. The remaining westâ€" ern half is taken up by wooded, marshy areas, interspersed with small patches of cultivable land across which run the main lines of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways and also the Duluth to Winnipeg line of the latter railway. Here also, the Greater Winnipeg District Railway, the aqueâ€" duct which supplies water to Winnipeg and environs, taps Shoal lake, part of the Lake of the Woods system. Lake of the Woods was the grand centre of the oldâ€"time voyageurs‘ route leading from the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes, via Pigeon river, Lake of the Woods and Winnipeg river to lake Winnipeg, thence «k4 the Saskatcheâ€" wan river system to the Mackenzie and the Arctic. In 1723 Verendrye, en route from Mcntreal, accompanied by his three sons with more than two score folâ€" lowers escorted by fifty cances of Inâ€" dians, crossed the lake to Northwest Angle Inlet. On what is now Minneâ€" sota territory close to the Canadian Indian reserves noted on the map as Nc. 34 and No. 37, he built Fort St. Charles which became his base for further explorations westward, and the first fort on Lake of the Woods. It was quite an ambitious structure, 100 feet square with four bastions, several houses, a church, storehouse and powâ€" der magazine. The new map portrays acC thousands of islands which â€" lake as revealed by the aer On the map in folder C |nearly 500 placeâ€"names are A government report of 150 years later describes the lake as "the greatest sturgeon pond in the world." Verenâ€" drye records that his men caught 4,0800 fish that fall, thereby saving his supâ€" plies. Since that time the lake has supplied the market with millions of p:unds of fish. To keep the supply reâ€" newed the Ontario government has now established a fish hatchery at Kenora. The following year while going tO meet the supply canoe coming from Montreal, Verendrye‘s son, Jean, Fathâ€" er Aulneau and eighteen others were murdered by a Sioux warâ€"party on an island; this is being now commemorâ€" ated by a memorial chapel on Massâ€" acre island, shown on the sheet near the middle of the lake southeast of the Northwest Angle. Verendrye and his intrepid sons were followed by La France in 1740, Repentigny Lagardeur de Saint Pierre in 1750, and Captain La Corne, who founded Fort La Corne on the Sasâ€" katchewan in 1753. After Canada was ceded to the British, English explorers took up the trail, James Finlay from Montreal in 1767, Thomas Curry in 1770 and Alexander Henry, the Elder, in 1775.. Henry says: "On the west side is an old French fort entirely destroyed by the Sioux." This was Fort St. Charles. \ When the Northwest Company WAS formed, the fur trade grew by leaps and bounds: More than one traveller records seeing 500 canoes on the lake at once. These formed the canoe briâ€" gades of the far outposts of the Athaâ€" baska, Mackenzie and Saskatchewan districts. Traversing the road to and from headquarters at Fort William came David Thompson, Harmon, Dease, John McDonnell, Peter Grant, Alexander Henry, the Younger; Peter Fidler, the surveyor; followed by Franklin, the explorer, Captain Back, Butler, Garry, and hkosts of others. Nowadays, numerous well appointed motor boats, steam launches, yachts and canoes belonging to summer vi:iâ€" tors, together with vessels of commerce navigate the intricacies of this inland The town of Kenora, from which the | sheet ‘takes its name was formerly| known as Rat Portage, the place where | thousands of muskrats made portage into the Winnipeg river. Some sort of | temporary trading house was there in 1823. Alexander Henry, the Younger.l in 1800 speaks of many Indians here building canoes for sale and trading died fish and berries for liquor. The first actual settler in this area came in a birch bark canoe in 1846. In 1882 the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed through Rat Portage (Keâ€" nora) to Winnipeg. As early as 1883 Rat Portage became famous as a lumâ€" bering centre and summer resort. Mil â€" lions of dollars are invested in lumber and paper and flour mills in Kenora and Kewatin. Ssea Minaki on the Winnipeg river, noted for its magnificent scenery, is a mecca for summer visitors. Here are flocks of pleasure boats resting like birds upon the water, or skimming from point to point. On the map in folder cover form nearly 500 placeâ€"names are printed in the key. To the historian, to summer residents, to business men and to othâ€" ers it is invaluable. Application thereâ€" for should be made to the Surveyor General, Department of th> Interior, Ottawa.
