The wolves were said to have been sitting in the snow on the side of a hill some distance away. He claimed to have been *"‘*seared stiff‘‘ for the space of four minutes. Regaining control of himself, he proceeded onward. The wolves rising to their feet, followed his example. It seemed from the evidence that both the enemy and their prey made off in different direcâ€" tions, each more than anxious to avy oid the other.

FOn THE NORTH COUNTRY pon the; Mr. Dewar pointed out that the mines of Ontario are unlike those of any other country in the world. They are not found in the middle of some desert waste, but frequently in the heart of agricultwral couptry. Within a mile of the Hollinger was of the finest farms he had ever seen, and all through the North farmers In speaking of the forest wealth, Mr. Dewar pointed out that it was not inexhaustible. He advocated protectingy the forest from fire, and a good reforestation policy. He spoke of the value to the settlers and to others of the pulp and paper mills. ‘*We will be leaders in agr‘:aiture in a very few years,‘‘ he said. We have the richest land in the whole:of Canada and I am not excepting the prairie provinces. [There are 16,000, 000 acres of land in the clay belt alone that is second to none in the world ; but that is far from being all the agriâ€" cultural land in the North. We have millions of acres not in the clay belt that is of the best for farming. With the cutting down of the forests and the warming up of the land we will have the gleatest agricultural country in the whole world."‘ Touching upon mining Mr. Dewar refuted the too common idea that the industry had some special connection or basis with stock gambling. He said:â€"*‘That is all wrong. The mines are like any other industry, conducted along efficient, hardâ€"headed lines. In 1925 dividends from the mines of Canada were $62,750,000.‘* He referred to tests made of grain in Northern Ontario and all tested, in weight, well over the standard. Of clover seed samples tested hy the government, the best all came from Northern Ontario. ‘‘The farther North you can grow things the better produce you will have.‘" Mr. _ Dewar â€" continued. ‘*Northern Ontario has already shown it can produce better grains, better vegetables and better everything else than the south."" Mr. Dewar admitted that there were places in Northern Ontario that had frosts every month of the year but pointed out that this samecondition was true of York County in 1812. (Jpening up of the country would reâ€" sult in moderating weather and, with the longer hours of sunlight the North would become the greatest agriculturâ€" al country in the world. _ Iroquois Falls has one and a half hours more sunlight a day then Toronto. ‘*There is a lot of hazy information about Northern Ontario being broadâ€" cast,"‘‘ he continued. *‘*We should all know this North and be in a position to place its richness before the world in a proper light. Northern Ontario has three basic industries where the ordinary place is ‘tickled to death‘ to have one. We have agriculture, minâ€" ing and the forests. I place agricul!â€" ture m the position of first 1mport- ance.‘ ‘*The salesmen of today are as effiâ€" cient as any class of man in business"‘‘ said Mr. Dewar, in responding to the toast. **I helieve the salesmen of the different commereial houses fre one of the best assets we have." Mr. Dewar pointed out that the salesmen could ‘be the apostles of the richness of the North but warned aâ€" gainst any exaggeration. Northern OUntario does not need that, he said.
