One morning 1 was awakened by my man. who informed me that the river was coming down. And it cer- tainly was.

I know as amatter of fact that ships of the Hudson Bay Company have been sailing in and out of the Bay for 200 years, and if they did not sail on water, I don't believe they sailed on land. I believe many of the rivers, especially the Moose, are a commercial possibility, and if suitable breakwaters were con- structed the rivers could be made navigable for vessels of comparative moderate draft. nwarsh dressed I (3111116 II inn 11' m not on 1111105 s I can think on the subjectmnd am to come no small population be found on these shores.

There were no doctors near the lo- cality. and if an Indian contracted appendicitis we had to travel at least 700 miles for an operation. Needless to say none of the Indians euntraeted appendicitis. Indeed a medieinen‘ian was looked upon as a sort of eonjurer. I wrote to the Bri- tish Government to send me. a com- plete outfit of medicines and surgical instruments, and also to send a book which would tell me how to use ' them. The Indians could hardly wait to get sick, and there was such a 'demand for medicine that I had to set certain days on which I would attend to their many ailments. One morning I found thirty Indians wait- : ing for me. They had ink bottles and ; old cans of every description in which .to put the medicine.

I am now speaking to men whoi are all well known in this country3 and who know the country, and I am not going to make any statement out, of harmony with my subject.

Mr. McLellan congratulated :the arehdeacon on his interesting ad- !dress, and considered the clul» most fortunate in having as its honorary president a gentleman so capahle and possessing such wide experience in the north. Mr. Charles Weston nominated Mr. .I. B.

The nomination was unanimously ap- proved. One of my [fiends in tho Hndoon Buy country in one whom I hum not here, And that in tho hunky dog. He should huvu n itory written nbout him. I believe the expedition: to the poles would have been morn success- fully nnd quickly undo had husky dogs been used. I used to have ten dogs in the north, and_I do not know how m could get along without them. In every team there is a leader. a boss. As the younger dogs crow up they take the places of the old leaders. and many of than fight thrir way to this onwiod position. Many a pup has tackled the old and txicd loader with the ol'jcct of oust- inc him. and finally succeeds.

Presently they had neeasion to eruss a small stream. and when right in the middle of it. the horse again sat down. “Well. what kind of a horse is this. anyway 7" again queried the stranger. “Don't say a word.” replied the farmer. “lle's good on fish. too.” I lNIVe spoken about the Indian and the husky dog. and I would like to say a word of the people of the very far north.

They are a wonderful people, and I would like to tell you more about them. but I must not forget that. there are other speakers here tonight. Mr. 'l‘yrell gracefully reSponded to the honor and kindness conferred up- on him. He had spent much of his life in Northern Ontario.and was looking forward to 8‘0 the whole territory come within the hounds of civilization and modern dth-lopment. He was rather taken hack by the kindness of those present. He had thought of many nice things he in- tended to say, but he must admit that they had all escaped him. It was many years since Sir William Logan was sent out to discover the mineral bearing areas, but since Con- federation it was found nrcessary to explore lame areas of Canada in search of all natural resources, not only minerals. but fruit, forest, fish and birds. The original object of the Geological Survey was to locate minerals, and now it returns to that ()lljf'K't. Northern Ontario has lzeen making Hood progress in minerals.
