Champlain was satisfied that the Ot tawa River and the St. Lawrende were the natural routes, and to prove his eory he and his bold navigators ex- red up through the Jocaiiy of Ois- ean Rock, One day while the party was resting, a number of them, so the Indian story goes, set out in a cance to investigate the surroundings of the , which their. red compan- told them was inhabitdd. by spir- ta. They also averred that the Great Bpirit had placed in: the bed of the creek some of the shining metal. To those who are familiar with In- dian fradition, they will remember that it is sopidered. an insult to the Indian deity for any white man to remove g from those places where the Great Spirit has placed the precious metal, and any of the tribe who disclosed where gold could be found was at once considered an agent of the Evil Spirit and tortu to death. After some tedious work the canoeists were rewarded by obtaini quantities of gold from the waters of the Oiseau.

Newfoundland whalers, seized with a spirit of enterprising economy, are reported to be attempting to place whale hide on the market for the manufacture of whale leather. It is not surprising that such an attempt should be made. It must vex the irit of any whaler of well balane- od mind to see, after all the hard- ship and danger of his calling, an enormous and altogether dispropor- tionate bulk of his qua cast away, From a large right whale of say 45 to 50 feet in length about 260 barrels of oil and one and three-quarter tons of baleen, or whalebone, may be ob- tained. The remainder of the gigan- the carcass, which may be as much as fifty tons, has hitherto been econsid- ered useless. The aver whale hide if laid out on the ground would cover a surface of nearly 1.500 square feet, at which rate one whale, if its hide could be made into boots and shoes, would well stock a west end boot shop.--London Express, 809.15 a.m. 1.00--4.00 p.m. a cake. 3for asc. 30 Orugpists Lady Laurier's Unique Distinction. pay Laurier, wife of the Canadien temier, possesses one stinction which should commend her to the Suffragists.

The Montreal *longshoremen's strike died peacefully.' Dissolution had been imminent all day, and at the hour for the night shift to go to the. wharves there was a stream of men to seen making their way to the various sheds, ready to take work if it was offered. At that moment the strike of 1907, which 'had a short life of eight days, passed inte higfory. The 'longshore- men: now want what they turned down so unanimously at their mass meeting, viz., .the appointment of a board of gomciliation. The end was hastened hy the wholesale return to their old jobs of both union and non- union men. A vote was taken among ose who were si out, as to whe- er the men should accept the in- crease of 21-2 cents, and agree to arbi- tration for the other 21-2. The re- sult was declared to be in favor of arbitration. In the meantime the strikers go back tGnconditionally on the scale of wages offered by the hip. ping Federation-to anyone who will work on the wharves, This means they will have to take their chance with the rest. To Clear Off Squatters. Arrangements are being made to clear all squatters off the Dominion forest reserves in Manitoba, Saskat- chewan, Alberta and the railway belt of British Columbia. There are twenty-two of these re- serves covering a total area of 3,300 square miles. There can 'be no se- curity from fire as long as people are living in the timber. Notice will' be served on all parties who have nn titles to leave and go to lands which are open for settle ment. There are several hundred of these squatters. A beginning is being made toward the organization of a permanent staff of rangers for all the. reserves to pre- vent fires and timber poaching. A survey of the timber is being carried out, and as 860h as it #s completed a vlan will be devised by which the annual growth may be taken off and marketed. ---------------------- Seeding In Alberta. In township - eight, range 26, west 48, last vear there were seeded 1,400 acres to Spring wheat, and 240 acres to Fall wheat. Both averaged about 25 bushels to the acre, the Fall drought being mainly responsible for the small yield of the atter grain. It is thought that this year in the same townshi the acreage plant to Spring wheat will be reduced 20 per cent. over last year, but the acreage taken as a whole will be about the same as last year, being made up in goarse grains, Farmers are still soeding, but an- other week will see this work about finished, Although the spring has been unusually cold and backward, there has still 'heen considerable growth, early spring wheat being in most cases two inches above the ground, but some fields have, oh 4 doubtful growth. i ------------------ Needs of Crown Colonies.

When indoors he always ily crocheted, on the top of his head, to cover the place where the once abundant hair has disappeared. Why he wears this little cap no- body seems to know, but there must be some reason, of no ordinary nature, for it gives him a great deal of trouble, slipping over his head when- ever he turns with a quick movement, as he often does when engaged in a conversation which interests him. He always balances it again carefully. It may be some gift of the olden days, some memento of a faithful In- dian friend during his long and lone- ly sojourn in the Canadian wilds, or it may be the work of his wife's hands. Certain it is that some interesting his- tory attaches to it, and that Lord Strathcona sets a high value on he little square of worked silk. Lord Strathcona sits close by his visitor, and sometimes lays his hand on your knee with a gesture of pater- nal. friendliness. 'At other times he will lean back with folded arms, his bright, deep-set keen eyes twinkling with a merry light.

The Hudson Bay route as one of the great channels. of the. world's freight traffic is a possibility suggest ed by A. P. Low, the director of the Geological Survey of Canada, who has recently made -an. expedition through that region. The success of the western Canadian wheat fields depends, says Bradstreet's, on cheap transportation, Jiclerably by water. The further popu- ation penetrates into upper Saskat- chewan and Alberta the longer the rail hauls and consequently the slow- er its development. All that is needed to open Hudson Bay to commercial uses is a line of rails to carry freight to one of its ports. At present the Hudson Bay Company and the Revillon Fur Com- pany have ships that make its small trading ports a few times a year. On the score of distances this Hudsen Bay route has much to offer. Regina, the capital of Baskatchewan and an important town on the Pacific 'Railway is just as near Churchill on" Hudson Bay, the point proposed for a port, as it is to Fort William on Lake Superior, and a thousand miles shorter than the dis- tance from Regina to Montreal at the head of sea navigation on the St. Lawrence. The distance from Churchill to Liverpool is almost the same as that from Montreal to Liverpool. Hence there is a. saving of distance of one thousand miles of rail or water car riage in favor of this northern route. Automobiling, it is said, has quick- ened the market for furs and made the quest of them even more zealous than usual this year. The whale fish- ery also supports two ships in Hudson Bay. Flour for use of dwellers at the ports on this waterway now reaches them from Winhibes by way of Liver- pool, but if steel rails were across the plains to Churchill, it would open a direct trade route to. the world. Large areas of wood pulp and merchantable spruce would be tapped ; iron ores and copper bearing rocks have also been found in various places, besides a valuable mica mine. Canada's Cool April, Evidence that April, 1907, has been an unusual month all over Canada, is shown in the report which has just been issued. In British Columbia gentle spring was two orf three weeks behind her usual time, while in the western vinces the month closed with winter still doing business. In parts of the western provinces the precipitation was twice the average, but it was composed almost exclusively of snow. April temperatures were below aver- age all over Canada. In the western provinces the difference from average was 6 to 13 degrees; in northern On- tario it was 7 to 11, and in southern Ontario 4 to 6 below average. ------------------ i Evidence bearing on the Bunker Hill mine explosion was given at the H&Y- wo trial on Thursday. } will h fish and catch eran Canadian Railway Builder The man was Donald Smith.
