OR the edge of a deep precipice, was beautiful and glorious, filling the mind with wonder ~and amazement, nature in all her glory, divine, helpâ€" ful and serene, the snow lying thitk all around and the ‘brilliancy of the sun showing a striking contrast. _ St. Johns was next ~reached _ twWO days later, in «the morning and I took Montreal was reached next mornâ€" ing at 2 a.m., crossing over the St. Lawrence river and after one hout‘s waiting left for the long journey. to Winnipeg, passing through the north ern part of Ontario, by North Bay, Sudbury, White River, twin cities of Port Arthur and Fort William at the end of the lakes to Winnipeg, which was reached two days later at 3 a.m., where a change of cars had to be made. 4 a short walk before leaving, twWO hours later. This city has a fine hatâ€" bor and is a great shipping port. Most of the courtry through thg northern portion of Ontario is wWil and hilly, wood, brush and wild flowâ€" ers growing extensively, Lake Super ior being seen on the _ south dotted with islands. As one preeeded farther west less snow was seen, the climâ€" ate being more desirable, . 18 Winnipez is a big, hustling city of wide <avenues. The buildings â€" are high and modern and the depot is one of the best and most spacious on the continent. I left the city the same afternoon at three o‘clock for Calâ€" gary, passing through immense praâ€" irie lands, flat as a table as far â€" as the eye could see, quite a contrast to the previous cuntry, touching Regiâ€" ra, Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Mediâ€" cine Hat, Gleichen, Strathmore, finâ€" ally reaching Calgary two days later at 7.30 p.m. At Medicine Hat and Gleichen are Indian â€" Reservations also at Calgary. The broadj spacious, endless prairie is one of great impression and superb ness, the grass growing high and thick and excellent feed for _ the range cattle, the country is boundâ€" less, illimitable and vast, awakening with new life and expectancy. The striking feature of western cities at night, is the brilliant innumerable lights, almost turning night into day and full of life and â€" freedom. The houses are mostly of frame, but well built and wind and dust storms are not an unusual quantity. I left Calgary the following mornâ€" ing at 8 a.m. for Edmonton, where I arrived in the afternoon at 3.30 _ at Strathcona. Crossing the bridge above the Saskatchewan river, reachâ€" ing Edmonton on the hill an hour later. A journey of baout 3,500 miles, On July 1, a friend and myself, working together on @ construction outfit, took a trip to Banff in â€" the Rockies, eightyâ€"two miles west _ of Calgary. The day was lovely, and as we pased through the Canadian Rock ies, the scenery was something long to be remembered, passing the Three Sisters on the south, the Hoodoos The scene is magnificient, indesâ€" cribable and one has to visit there to obtain an adequate idea of the superb glorious panormama, of the endless, lofty peaks ‘and mountaings clusterâ€" ing together, valleys and wonderful canyons, truly a sight never to fade from the memory. The Roegkies are estimated to be the finest range in the world and the museum in â€"the National rPark, is visited by persons from every quarter. of the globe. @ The sulphur baths _ were visited, there being two, one about s0 degrees the other 90 degrees and its healthâ€" ful, curing‘ properties are censidered to be highly beneficial, many peop}g‘: visiting them annually . for their health. Needless to say â€" my friend and I had an enjoyable swim, the water being very warm and buoyant. on the North, with endless chains of peaks, covered with glistening snow,. We next visited through the wonâ€" éerful caves and passages, one lofty kall having a large well of boili water,; due to the 2ction of some mi eral at the bottom.. A trip wa nade to th2 top of the Sulphur Mou tain, sometimes taking the trail, bu mostly climbing up through th woods, which was at times exciting, tre journey taking us about fou hours, being 8,000 feet above . s@A level. We then climbed up the laddor to the top of the observatory. _ The view here afforded was glorious, peak after peak rising in the distance, dense forests abounding, mighty canâ€" yons, all truly indicating the remark able work of te Creator. After being in Edmonton and Calâ€" gary several months I went to Gleiâ€" chen in Alberta on an irrigation outâ€" fit â€" and after being there a short while went back to the village and drove out with aâ€"party who had a@ 1000 acre ranch 35 miles north of the village. _ We left the village in the evening at 6 o‘clock and arrived at the ranch the next morning at OnN€ o‘clock. .It was a lovely moonlight Tide in the wilderness, a unique °Xâ€" perience, the> country was lovely and fairly level and over the Indian trails. I noticed in the bright moonâ€" light a large black piece of ground and learnt that it was the result Oof a recent prairie fire j f One atfernoon I noticed a datrk speck on the horizon, this soon inâ€" creased into a great dense blackness and eventually I saw flames shooting sky high. All of us armed with wet sacks, walked to the scene about 8| TRIPS THROUGH CANADA AND THE STATES THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIO While looking after the levers on the steam traction plow, several litâ€" tle fires occurred and were put out, but one had escaped our attention and before we could reach it a wind arose and swept the flames before us leaping forth before us like a race horse, roaring in its career. Fortunâ€" ately the fire headed towards a Tiver, where it had nothing further to feed upon. This took us over two hours real hard work.. four miles to do our part in beating out the fire, which had an enormous range. It was a big job, blinding, suffocating, dirty work, about thirty of us working like galley slaves, and reached home at one o‘clock next morning. At breakfast a rider appear ced at the door of the house informing us that the fire had broken out afresh and we had another experience,. This kept us busy till eight o‘clock in the evening. The party in the first instance were two new comers, who neglected to place a fire guard around their shack and a spark coming from the chimney set fire to the grass, desâ€" troying practically everything. ‘~My next trip was back to Calgary and I went as a salesman in a harâ€" ness and saddlery store for the sumâ€" mer, but owing to excessive dry weather, business went very slack. I then received a permit to go East on a stock train, a packing house conâ€" cern. I left for Strathmore, Alberta and put my bag in the caboose and then assistecda to load 800 head ‘of catâ€" tle, We left in the evening for Moose Jaw where the cattle were unloaded and fed, in some cases the stock were fed by men at the stock yards, © in others by men in cahrge of the cars, with the stock. We reloaded and bound for Winnipeg where we unload ed once more. The work on these ocâ€" casions is not at all pleasant, the experience sometimes exciting and one has to be careful in handling range cattle which are more or less wild after a long journey, shaken about roughly in travelling. We then left for Winnipeg the next day for White River where we unloadâ€" ed once more and here was where we worked the hardest, fixing up forty cars with feed as we had to leave the same afternoon to make room for another train load. This is rather a sgmall place and very cold in the win ter. Leaving White River I travelled as far as North Bay, where I left the party, as I was heading for Toronto.: My purpose in travelling 2,000 miles oR & 6t0@k train was patrly for ex-} terience, and real genuine . experiâ€". Unce it was, pretty rough travelling: and sleeping in a caboose. On one oecasion at Winnipeg whils the enâ€" gine was shunting the cars, I was thrown clean out of the car onto the iform, fortunately I kept my feet. _ I left North Bay by passenger at night for Toronto arriving in the eity next morning. Toronto is a beau il city, lhas about 250 churches, veral tail modern buildings and banks and lived there for two years en I went into fruit farming. The fruit belt extends from Hamilâ€" n, through Stoney Creek, Winona, rimsby, Beamsville, Jordan, St. tharines to Niagara and a _ trip rough the fruit district is a beautiâ€" i1 ‘one, especially in â€"the summer me, when nature is in all her glory, eauty and verdure. _ I _ have visited Niagara Falls hrough »«the great gorge route, down he subterranean passages and across he Border, Brantford, Hamilton and trip to Chicago, Brantford, Tavisâ€" ock, St. Thomas, Leamington, Port Huron, Detroit, through Michigan on o Chicago, where I lived for several months.. Here are some splendid parks, institutions and some â€" tall modern buildings. @3 This city is full of life nad bustle with its overhead trolley lines, street cars and â€" innumerable automobiles. A stay of several. months was also spent in the State of lTowa, this state o eing considered to be the best agriâ€" eultural section in the Union. Illinois and Iowa are reputed to be the two |chief corn growing states and even an ordinary farm will grow as much | as from seventyâ€"five to one hundred acres. All drivers are on horseback when driving stock through gangways to the cars, then, as they are passing up the passage way to the cars they are prodded with sharp pointed sticks sometimes with a nail or spike at the end. This surely drives them crazy. On one occasion a whole troop turned back after getting into the car, and Oothers fell between the plat form and the car and this meant irouble. _ The Town Fathers held their last regular meceting of the year, in the Council Chambers, on Wednesday Aight. _ The session was a light one, esâ€" pecially for the last meeting of the year, which showed that the councilâ€" lors were well up with their work. â€"Rev. Father Longo and Mr. Edâ€" ward Mannell, on behalf of St. Josâ€" eph‘s Roman Catholic Church asked for a building permit to erect a shed for the protection of horses and rigs during church hours. _ The permit was granted. Mr. W. H. Miller asked to have the lights on Murray street changed. The 1 ght on the corner is doing no one any good, and neither is the one on the Lake end. Another light should be added. ‘Thore are four there now. The Stanozuiski family having moved away for the winter, the light at the far end is not necessary. Owing to the lateness of sending cut of sor.e of the tax notices, and the condition of the money maket, owing to the war, the time of paying taxes was extended till Dec. 23rd, without penalty.

H. Rittenhouse, of Vineland, not liable for the injuries sustained by Mike Lukachtik while working on the defendant‘s farm, The plaintiff in this action came from Rusâ€" gion Polland and was employed by the defendant on hig truit farm. He was engaged in spraying trees last spring and claimed damages for injuries he suffered when septic poisoning deve!â€" oped in hisg right hand, due, he allegâ€" ed, to the mixture used in spraying. He charged negligence on the part of his employer for not supplying gloves before the poisoning set in, as WAS done in the case of another foreigner who was employed at a similiar 0¢â€" cupation. ‘The defense held thalt it was not the custom of farm laborers to wear gloves and that, this was the first case of poisoning known, alâ€" though the mixture was a standard one and had been in use by fruit farmâ€" ers for some years.
