He was energetic, able and publicâ€" spirited and his memory should not be soon forgotten. Under the heading **New Liskeard: Past and Present,"‘ the Diamond JSJubilee of Confederation issue of The New Liskeard Speaker last June very effectively reviewed the ‘history of lmnM“mnn«r which was very largely interwoven with the story of the/lite of â€"John Atmstrong. The Speaker for a town which Mr. John Armstrong found on the banks of the Wabhis River in the year 1893 to the proâ€" sperous agricultural and manutacturâ€" ing town of New Liskeard of 1927, In dealing with the. past and presâ€" ent of New Liskeard, even though we heretofore told the story and many of our readers are familiar with it, we must tell it again in this our Jubilee number of The Speaker for the inâ€" formation of those who were not reâ€" sidents here in the early days. During the summer of 1893 the Hon. A. 8. Hardy, then Commissioner of Crownâ€" Lands, â€"asked Mr. John Armstrong, at that time the reeve of the Township of Chaifey, Muskoka, to visit Temiskaming, report on the agricultural possibilities of the disâ€" trict, and if it suited him, to open an agency for the sale of Crown Lands, or, in other words, to accept the office of Crown Lands agent for Temiskamâ€" ing. Had Mr. Armstrong given an unfavourable report the settlement of this country, and the discovery of the richest silver and gold mines in the world would have lung been deâ€" laved. Mr. Armstrong arrived at Haileyâ€" bury some time in August, 1893, and then paddled up to the Wabis river where lived Mr. William Murray and his sister Miss Beavis. At his time there were a few families living in Haileybury and quite naturally they would have liked to have had he aid rown Lands agency in that village; THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO It .

Had they done so when they came to see their locations during the following summer there were plenty of newâ€"comers ready to give these men something for their bargains and take the land. Of course those who purâ€" chased land from the agent before he opened his office here made selections as near the Wabis river and lake as they could, and hence they had land which soon became valuable. It will be of interest to later arâ€" rivals, and more especially to those who now cannot purchase more than 80 acres, to know that the first purâ€" chasers of Crown land in Temiskamâ€" ing were allowed a full lot of 320 acres each. But the agent saw that if this wholesale method of selling so much land to each purchaser were to con: tinue the country would be sparselyv settled and that many years would elapse ere the land would be cleared. Representations were made to the Deâ€" partment of Lands, and the change was made allowing one purchaser only oneâ€"half a section. large tent in which the until such time as a house c built.

Mr. Murray owned the two lots next the lake, one on each sde of the river, having purchased them from Chief Wabis. On the north of the river Mr. Murray had a clearing of about five acres, but the lot on the south side was all bush. This lot was purchased by Mr. Armstrong before he returned to his Muskoka home, As soon as navigation on Liuke Temiskaming was open in the spring following Mr. Armstrong returned to hs townsite on the Wabis river; but this time he brought with him lhus family and a number of men for imily learing rge 1t 14 Wilson Avenue We Buy and Sell, all Kinds of Goods.
