trade board 3r7w r limited truck travel hinders farmer the order of the oil controller limiting to thintyfive miles travel by trucks hauling livestock to the market for faimeis who have neither trucks nor sufficient labor is unfair and detrimental reeve fred clayton of thorah township told ontario county council last week the reeve asked the endors- tion of a lesolution of protest to the dominion government and the oil controller and it was unani mously forthcoming to a farmer who has his own truck there is no limit to the dis tance he can travel to market ms cattle but to the farmer who has none and depends upon the truckers the order is inconvenient and dis criminating irteeve clayton saidit is also not a square deal for the truck owners because of the limit ed mileage which made it difficult to maintain trucks and men with their business reduced fuel transport reeve oscar h downey of whit by township asked that the pro test also be extended to the hauling of fuel in view of the possibility of a fuel shortage next winter of which the municipalities were now being warned by the government and asked to take steps to meet it in his township the reeve said there is a man in the fuel business in a big way but his largest wood- lot in which he employs several men is 65 miles away he can only haul a load 35 miles and is thus unable to bring wood into the district our council is not in the wood business but it wants to help a local man who is able to bring in a supply the reeve said request goes to the legislation and memor ial committees in reply to an appeal made by william davidson whitby and j c anderson onetime mayor of oshawat chairman of the aid-to- russia committees the council by a unanimous vote instructed the fin ance committee to bring iln a re commendation

by seneca baker it is hoped this series of articles will prove of interest to many readers of the tribune north of iringwood about two miles h to be found a rural section of unusual scenery a mile farther north theie is an elevation of 1155 feet above sealevel and as a result the people of baker hill are in the habit of looking down on the citizens of ringwobd almost any day the larger build ings of toionto can be seen from the church and if the sun happens to be shining brightly in the fore noon lake ontario will be clearly visible it is thought by many that the residents of stouffviue enjoy ex ceptional health because the water- supply for the town originates in this district an analysis of the water has shown it to be one of the purest sources of supply in ontario fiom ringwood the hill appears as a series of steps rising to the height of land wheie the house of merlyu baker stands from geological evidence it appeals that at one time a gieat liver flowed towaids lake ontario thiough this distiict during the ice age a ridge ot land was formed which shifted the course of the water into the gieat lakes system from local indications the sand and gravel have possibly been moved fiom some ocean bed and locks have been ifound in this locality which aie not native through this formation the water still seeps until it is manifest in the form of springs the soil on this ridge of land although not as heavy as farther south is extremely fertile and is suited for the growing of cereal giains and vegetables even peach tiees will tlnive in pioteeted spots the formation of this fertile udge of land is theiefoie the re sult of the working out of the laws of the cieator a later article will describe the part baker hill once played as an indian camping and burying ground the natural advantages of the locality of baker hill were well known befoie white men came to this part of the country evidence shows that this spot was not only an indian camping ground but a burying ground and the scene of some indian battle east of alex ratcliff s gravel pit have been found pipes bits of crudely made clay crocks flint arrbwheads bone needles and heads clam shells deer antlers tomahawks and deer skinners in what were ashpits weie found corncobs burnt black north of the house where gordon ratcliff lives were found large pieces of sandstone some of these stones were four or five feet across in the centres of these blocks were hollows about one foot across another smaller stone was placed in this hollow and it was here that the indian squaws ground their corn on the east side of the concession about 30 or 40 rods north of the gravel pit was found a large cir cular trench in this trench the indian dead had been placed so that they all faced the centre an old indian by the name of noah snake was once asked about this and he said theres been a war there so it was concluded that indian warriors were buried in this way apart from this trench the graves were very thick and pioneeis called this place the old fort it is said that sometimes at one of their many feasts an interesting ceremony would take place some darkeyed maiden would step forward and give a wink as a sign to the young brave of her choice then she would start to run to wards the forest with the agility of a deer if the young man decided to run after her he would eventually overtake her and take her back to the feast to be his bride after the ceremony a description of which can be found in the song of hiawatha there was dancing smoking and sports such as the throwing of the tomahawk the forests at this time were secondgrowth thirty to forty inches through and the growth rings on some of the trees were counted a later article will describe the settlers and their customs and occupations callup
