Smith; Yes, Like the parade of the aliens at Timmins the one at Kirkland Lake last week was quiet and orderly. Neiâ€" ther, perhaps, were as satisfactory as at Rouyn and Noranda where "fool parâ€" ades" were not allowed this year, and everything was quiet and orderly just the same. The police saw to that as usual. However, to return to the parâ€" ade of the aliens at Kirkland Lake, it may be noted that a lesson may be learned from these parades, namely how many foreigners there are in this country, and the attitude this type of foreigner affects towards this country and its people. Here is all The Northâ€" ern News, of Kirkland Lake, has to say about the May Day parade of its forâ€" eignâ€"born fellows:â€" "Several school children and a numâ€" ber of women turned out with marchâ€" ers here on Monday night when an orderly "May Day" demonstration was staged by 400 of Kirkland Lake‘s foreignâ€"born ritizens. The marchers carried huge red coloured banners, and wore red arm bands, and displayed many placards. The parade assembled at the corner of Second street and Dunâ€" can avenue, and marched off about 6 p.m., reaching Government road by way of Kirkland street, and returning to the assembly point by way of Duncan avenue. â€" Several speakers harangued the crowd following the parade." MAY DAY DEMONSTRATION QUIET AT KIRKLAND LAKT to speed again and was making his way to the door, ‘when there came from the president: "Now, remember what I told youâ€" no speeding; but don‘t let the other fellow beat yvou!"

One day an engineer on the Ottawa run was called to the presiâ€" dent‘s office for a reprimand. He enâ€" tered Sir Thomas Shaughnessy‘s office with anxiety, for the "old man" could be as severe way as was Sir William Vanâ€"Horne, though the latter‘s expertness in lurid language was never challenged then or since. The choicest memories of quick trains in Canada, however, cling to the comâ€" petition between the Grand Trunk (Canada Atlantic) and the C.P.R. from Montreal to Ottawa and vice versa thirty years ago. The schedules called for 2 hours and 15 minutes for the 120 miles, but the time table meant nothing to the engineers of those days. They were determined each to outrun the cther, and it was quite a frequent thing for one or other of the rivals to do the journey in much less than 120 minâ€" utes. It made no ‘difference in those days that the bulk of the passengers rode on parliamentary passes; speed was the cbjective, and the treasury paid the bill, ‘as part of the advertisâ€" ing of both companies. Old habitues of the general offices of the C.P.R. at Montreal recall a story told by the late George Ham, but since ascribed to other less famous raconâ€" Ontario has its share of the record railway runs. Austin F. Cross of Montâ€" real, an authority on such matters, points out that, curicusly the "fastest trains in the United States make their best time in Canada," for the Michigan Central trains over their double track in Western Ontario do their timeâ€" smaching feats there. Such speeds as 101 miles in 103 minutes, 115 miles in 110 and 135 in 135 minutes have been made every day between the Niagara bridge and the Detroit tunnel.

"Naturally with the country so low and wet there is mostly tamarack in the muskegs. Along the edges these are larger but in the centre of the musâ€" kegs they are stunted and scrubby. There is a great deal of swamp birch brush. There are islands of spruce to five inches in diameter scattered through the muskegs." _ an ‘exceptionally wet tamarack and spruce muskeg that had been burnt over recently. Also there are patches of old brule along the Kwataboahegan River. 1€ chicken were plentiful. "Up to mile 341 the soil is clay‘" they say.> "From 341 to 348 there is clay soil with cccasional boulders. At mile 348 plus 30 chains and at Mile 349 plus 30 chains our line crossed narrow sand ridges about 10 feet high. These had probably been old shore lines of the ocean. The later one ran in a northâ€" westerly direction. From this ridge north to the bay the soil is sandy clay. "The whole of the country passed over is nearly level, sloping to the east and northeast with some creeks and rivers flowing east and northeast. From Mile 329 to Mile 356 the muskegs are dotted by numerous shallow ponds. These vary in size from mere soft pudâ€" dles to small lakes of 50 to 60 acres. Covered With Muskeg "The country is covered with muskegs and low ridges of spruce from three to 10 inches in diameter along the creeks and rivers. Practically the only merâ€" chantable timber was found along the creeks and rivers, the largest stretches being between Mile 298 and 300 and also between 312 and 313. Very little of the country has been burnt over. Between Miles 300 plus 30 chains to Mile 303 plus 30 chains our line crosses to James Bay, north and OI MoJâ€" sonee, and give a complete report. "There were no indications of any minerals in the district," they say. Also, "there are no falls or rapids in this district that could be developed." Again, " There is very little game in the country. We did not see any moose or caribou. We were unable to catch any trout in the creeks or rivers. We saw very few signs of fresh beaver work." Ducks, geese, partridge and prairie seen. A great many streams were teeming with speckled trout, he reâ€" ported. So much of the immediate vicinity of cosonee.

The amount of fur being brought in by the Indians apparently is very small compared with what it used to be." Mr. Sutcliffe did not see any game, either large or small, although along the creéeks a few moose tracks were seen. A great many streams were Area Trapped Out Respecting the fur resources, Mr. Sutâ€" cliffe said: "It would appear that the area adjacent to the fur trading posts H. W. Sutcliffe, O.LS., of New Lisâ€" keard, surveyed the boundaries of townships of Parr, Winnington, Horden Greer, Caron and Moose, in the vicinity of Moosonee, and confirms Mr. Angus‘ reports. Said Mr. Sutcliffe: "With the exception of narrow strips along the various streams, very little commercial timber was encountered on this survey. The area traversed, disâ€" tant more than four or five miles from the Moose River, was very flat and wet, and would be difficult to drain owing to the fact that the majority of the creeks are but a few feet below the surface of the adjoining country, and are very sluggish in their flow. Large areas of second growth tamarack were crossed as well as considerable spruce to five inches or six inches in diameter. ‘"The average depth of muck over a gritty clay would not be more than three feet. No rocks or hills were obâ€" served during the course of the survey, and in running the north boundary of the township of Moose to intersect the west shore of James Bay, the country was found to slope very gently towards the bay. There is no bank at this point, and the difference between exâ€" treme high and low tide was about two. miles." | Reporting on the township of Caron, in the vicinity of Moosonee, which he divided into farm lots, G. P. Angus, O. LS ., North Bay, states: "The soil is clay covered with about a foot of black _ muck and heavy moss, and except for strip of about 10 chains in width an either side of the creeks, which is dry and well drained, the balance is wet and boggy but if drained should have agricultural possibilities. "The timber is mostly small tamaâ€" rack two inches to four inches in diaâ€" meter, except for the strip of about 10 chains on each side of the creeks, which is timbered with spruce up to 14 inches in diameter, and a few balâ€" sams up to six inches in diameter. Many Speckled Beauties "Spruce partridge were plentiful, and some fine speckled trout were caught in Butler Creek. No moose or large game were seen." Of the township of Moosse, in the same vicinity, which was also surveyed for farm plots, Mr. Angus reports the soil as similar to the soil of Caron township, but found the timber someâ€" what better.
