Penned and Pilfered THE GRIMSBY INDEPENDENT 1Â¥ written the following very interesting story about the effect of the Niagara escarpment on the development of central and southwestern Ontario, a chapter on the geology of the district which will give a new fascination to country hikes hereabouts: Many people living in this district who proudly call the rocky ridge to the south the "Mountain" do not know very much about it beside its name and have only a faint idea of the part it bas played in developing southern Ontario and determining where the centres of population were to be. It has done much more than provide the beautiful scenery of which we like to boast, ‘This week I submit the following paragraphs under the heading, who knows?

At Hamilton it is the Mountain and back of Collingwood, in the county of Grey, it is the Blue Ridge. Whatever the name, it accounts for some of the most striking scenery in southern Ontario. Briefly tracing the course of the cuesta across Ontario we find that it enters the province from New York state, at Queenston. It is specially marked at the following places, Grimsby, & 1 LC l "C mmcwwaqmm,& sula to Cabot Head, after which it reappears on Mr. Orion Livingston.

The lower rocks of this formation are sandâ€" stones and shales, but with the deepening seas of the middle Silurian period these gave place to heavy dolomites, which were again followed by shales in the closing stages of the period. A broad beit, twenâ€" ty miles wide, lying alongside of the cuesta all the way to Lake Huron is called Guelph Lolomite, on which are situated the city of Gueiph and the town of Fergus, both noted for scenic beauty. ‘To the heavy dolomites we owe the preservation of the present shape and position of Niagara Falls and the fact that it is being worn back with comparative ‘The cuesta sharply divides Ontario into two parts, the comparatively flat upland of the southâ€" western portion and the eastern lowlands.

Next in order comes Beamer‘s falls, Grimsby, on the Fortyâ€"Mile creek, and the very lovely Stoney Creek falls, with its Devil‘a Punch Bow!, where the rocks have been scooped out in circular fashion by the swirling of prehistoric waters. ‘This formation repeats itself in Albion falls a few miles to the west. Directly south of the city of Hamilton we have the Buttermilk falls, the Washboard, Chedoke and Tifâ€" fany, followed by Ancaster falls.

Anderson hasn‘t a broken arm. It was the handle on the paint brush there were mills in the carly days. So the cascades of the escarpment played their part in meeting the needs of the settiers. Around the mills grew up vilâ€" lages, some of which are the towns as we know At Dundas the escarpment has been cut through by the action of a prehistoric river which ewept down the vailey. But the great gap only added enâ€" shantment to the scenery. Dundas valley has always been famed for its beauty. Professor Orant says in Picturesque Canada: ‘"Her greatest asset is her glorâ€" tous scenery, which involuntarily brings every tourâ€" ist to his feet as the train aweeps along the mounâ€" tain terrace." Dr, Grant also takes a little thrust at our termâ€"‘the Mountain"â€"observing that the "rathâ€" er ambitious name may be allowed as long as we are encâ€"eyed man is king." People who negotiated the steep roads in the borseâ€"andâ€"buggy days thought it was rightly spoken of as a mountain. It seemed a long haul to the top! _ y * Around the head of the lake the escarpment rises to a height of 380 feet above the level of the lake or 625 feet above sea level. From here the rocky ridge takes » sharp turn morthward, making a lot of pretty scenery around Milton, Georgetown and Acton. Especially fine are the views before arrival at Orangevilie. We are now in the Caledon hills, which boast such beauty spots as Belfountain and the Forks of the Credit. Here we stand on the highest land of central Ontario. It was believed by the ploneers to be especially healthâ€" full, free from the fever and ague caused by bad air arising from the swamps. Dr. Thomas Roiph, of Ancaster, in his book published 1836, says, "Caledon stands much elevated, in some parts mountainousâ€" is extremely healthy and a most desirable location for an industrious person with small means." Here again the ridge determined the trend of settlement. From Owen Sound the ridge bends to the northâ€" west to form the backbone of the Bruce peninsula. It disappears under the water at Cabot Head, comes up again on Manitoulin Island, then loses itsel* among the rocks. ‘The escarpment has played a part not only in deâ€" termining the location of settlements but in the diâ€" rection of roads linking them. ‘The first railroads sometimes showed a disinclination to negotiate the ridges. We recall an early story of Owen Sound, then called Sydenham, It founder believed that it would develop into a great entrepot of commerce beâ€" tween Ontario and the grainâ€"shipping west. It was to be a second Chicago. So convinced of this were its inhabitants in 1850 that they felt that any railâ€" road leading morth out of ‘Toronto would have to come to them as the only practicable northern terâ€" minus. So they refused to vote assistance to one or the other of two companies that proposed to build from Toronto to Georgian bay. ‘The result was that ons company folded up and the other the Northern Railway Company, chose Collingwood as a terminus, because it was a more accessible route and avoided the difficulty of climbing the ridges of the escarpâ€" ment. Once more our "mountain" had spoken and determined the trend of settlement. Sydenham could not live on beauty alone and for a time all its amâ€" bitions were dashed to the ground.
