Canada's First Surveyor-General Se tecin tice az cones esetietion. ot Volume twenty-one of the papers and records of the Ontario Historical Society is enriched by the fullest bio- graphical sketch that has yet appear-. ed of Major Samuel! Holland, the first! Surveyor-General of Canada. The author is Mr. Willis Chipman, O.L.S., C.E., one of the most eminent sur-| who has made. the work a labor of love. We can do, veyors in the country, no better than quote Mr. Chipman's: summary of Holland's activities. He, writes: "Major Samuel Holland's career, was an eventful one, whether from the standpoint of the Canadian historian. or of the British military offieer. He. "-gaw service in the Dutch army whén, a young man, then without interlude entered the service of the British, serving in America four years in| the war with France, which term-' inated with the cession of Canada to! the British Crown. In these cam-) Ppaigns he distinguished himself by: a devotion to duty that commended! nim to Gen. Wolfe « .d other officers., Upon the conciusion of peace, in} 1763, he was rewarded for his ser- vices by receiving the appointment, of Surveyor-General for the northern part of British America. For eleven years he was actively employed on' surveys on the 'River St. Lawrence,. the Gulf and the New England coast. This work was interrupted by the American revolution, and again -we find Major Holland on active military duty for three or four-years in sup- port of the Royalist cause, notwith- Standing tempting offers had been made him by the 'patriots'. "Shortly before the termination of the war he took up his residence permanently at. Quebec, and for twenty years was the controlling mind in the land survey~ ing operations in Canada. The sys-' tems of surveys devised by him and his deputies were extended into the Upper -Province, when it was set apart in 1792. "During the French war he came into contact with many prominent military men. He was at Ticonder- oga, Fort William Henry, Louisburg, and Quebec. He spent months in. reconnoitering in the forests sur- rounded by stealthy enemies. He charted the unknown coasts in ad- vance in order that the vessels of the navy might carry out their pro- gram, and in attacks upom fortresses he teok his place in the line. This was probably the most romantic period of his life, followed-by his eleyen y.ars of professional work as surveyor .and engineer on the During this period Canad was making slow progress, but th other British Provinces--Massachu- setts, New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Maryland--were grow- ing rapidly in wealth and population. Major Holland witnessed this growth and the spirit of insubordination that accompanied it. He and his family were subjected to indignities at the hands of the rebels, but eventually escaped. After the Revolution Hol- land was fully employed in prose- cuting surveys of lands for the U. E. Loyalists, and later for British and American settlers. None could have been in closer touch with the early settlement of the two Provinces of Lower Canada and Upper Canada than the Surveyor-General, and knowing his characteristic devotion to duty it is not surprising that after several years of military service in the forests of North America, with its hardships and privations, fol- "¢ Got Another Bouquet. -Thereply that A.

Auspices St. Andrew's Baracas ADMISSION - 50 cents lowed by many years of coast surveying, his health was uudermined by the re- sponsibilities and duties that rested upon him as Surveyor-General after 17890.' Though Holland was born tn the country which might erroneously be supposed to have been named after him, he was of English. stock, 'his! ancestors having fled to Holland to escape religious Dersecution; he was married there as a young man, but, little is known of his wife. Appar- ently the marriage left: something to be desired, and we find the young couple separating, amicably, accord- ing to the best information that Mr. Chipman was able to unearth. Later On Major Holland took another wife, and, no doubt, the circumstances of this courtship and union were highly romantic. The lady's people were opposed to the match because _ they and she were French, and but: lately Holland had been in arms against France. Eventually they eloped. Just where they were mar- ried is not a matter of exact histori< cal record. There are good reasons for beliey-, ing that Holland was one of the three or four men in inmediate attendance upon Wolfe when he died on the Plains of Abraham, and in a letter describing the circumstances he com- plains that Benjamin West, for some reason not understood, thought fit to leave his picture out of the group surrounding the dying general. Oth- ers who were far away at the mo- ment, and who had seen no active service, were represented in the scene. Holland also is a witness against the accepted story that Wolfe, when informed that the French were running, said: "Thank God! I die happy.' He was toid that the French were retreating, but made no comment, according to Holland,. who was, perhaps, rewarded for his testimony by the omission of his por- trait in the historic West painting. It is amusing to learn that Major Hol- land at one time recommended that a vast tract of territory attached then to Nova Scotia, Maine, New Hamp- shire and Massachusétts,-be set aside as a special Crown domain. The rea- son he advanced was that in this ter- ritory there was a magnificent: growth of trees which would furn- ish admirable masts for the King's Bhips. The outbreak of the Amier- ican revolution shortly afterward prevented an attempt being made to catry out this novel plan, - BH CAAUNUUCUOUEEOUOOOUCOUWEORUEALATOAORAUEOOSEROOCUOUEOUOECUESUUEU PET OLEEL EAS EEA EAE FOOTWEAR Ladies' Patent Oxfords Square toe, low rubber heels, all sizes.
