deserted village was based on con ditions of Parts of his native country Ireland though he transferred the scene In Canada where for some tne population of a town of a thousand souls has been added every day it is strange to speak of desert ed villages but thrural parts of our older provinces have this story to tell as well as of areas of farms j deserted who has Kind i Ottawa Valley for fifty years knows of countless farms that have passed back into a state of nature or have been sold for mere song to some one who wanted a domain with a lake on it Even in the most fer tile parts whole villages have been tossed aside by the heels of iron horsey leaving in some cases hardly a foundation to mark where they were This is what has to be Progress demands a big scrappile Progress is in Montreal and Toronto sending many a old building to ruin that a bigger one may be built and many a powerful machine to junk to make way for a more mod ern one So in every phase of life success depends on the having best means of transportation best methods of manufacture best system of purchase In this struggle for suc cess village after village by no fault of its own has been slain Many of these died by the hand of the modern railway Hell on Lake will serve to illustrate Today it is a hamlet of perhaps a sinewy hut with an intense and con- hundrcd and fifty people supplement- energy that had
