Durned in the fire, George anq the writer are still alive here at Porcupine, and George will tell anyone that has always told the truth and gives credit where it belongs. It was during 1908 that the Hunter claim was found but nothing much was done at the time. In June, 1909, the writer found the Dome, and in October after the rush started Hollinger and Gillies camse and staked Hollinger, In September, Geo., Bannerman fetched out the first gold and started the rush.

The people there eat very many because they grow ver‘y well, and so you can see in the evening in the sumimer many people, after a long hard work, working in their gardens. What I liked the best in our garden was the strawberries and the peaches who are so fresh and juicy. I could not say how many flowers there are, but in mw herbarium I had eighty more which are of the rarest plants you can possibly find in Switzerland. The flowers which grow in the garâ€" den and fields are: snowballs, geranâ€" iums, irises, roses, daffodils, tulips, and a walk of about ten days in the bush and in the green fields where are cherâ€" ries, plums and pears, and if they see the farmer they ask him how much he would like to have for a tree of cherries and if it is cheap they go to the tree and fill their stomachs with any kind df fruits they desire. | In the forest there are cthers what are as pretty, and around some fowers are made fences, beause they are very rare. There are some names hereâ€"woodâ€" bine, wifeâ€"shoe, wild elder. The peoâ€" ,plc go and they take too much and so the plant in a short time dies out. The forests are very pretty, and there are many roads, and the ones who have not very good lungs can have a morning walk in the fresh morning air. Not only the flowers make the bush pretty but the ‘birds with their wonderful songs. The sick pupils have every year The edelweiss is one of the prettiest flowers of all Switzerland but it is very nard to get them because they are growing only in the cliffs of the high and snowy mountain. Many men have been killed who wanted to get some, cr in the earlier time the eagles and vul-l‘ tures were bad and killed many men too. I never was to get edelweiss in the mountains but I bought the one I have. say, they have very small green leaves with hairs which make them look white. ,'The animals won‘t eat this because the Juice is a very strong odour.

Often the course of a mink was indicated by a bigger splash and a heavier rippling. At the neck of the swamp and near the creek a pair of woodâ€"ducks could usually be seen, the male swimming and bowing before his indifferent mate. At the end of such a trip I housed my canoe while the redâ€" winged blackbirds flew by overhead. Often I have wished that I were one of them, even if I had to risk the dangers of their carefree life in the swamp. Nature Study in Switzerland j (By Ben Bauman) The Edelweiss is a flower about 4 to 5 inches high. It has very long and strong roots which grow on the rocks and enter into cracks in the rock. In the springtime when the sun is shin-, ing on them they seem a verly light white colour. The stem is very hard but when it freezes it breaks easily. In the summertime when the Juice is in it it is possible that you can bend them and they do not break.

How they ever ‘hnd in a tree is a marvel, for their legs are very long and unsuited for grasping limbs. Their nests are built in hundreds on large trees, the great birds revisiting and repairing thee heronries every year. _ Beside this particular swamp stood a redâ€"pinc forest. Wandering through the pines and listening to the wind singfing through the needles was an experience I have never forgotten. Bvery tree was full of rollicking littls chickadees with blackâ€"capped heads and impudent beady eyes. The chickâ€" adee is an acrobat and hangs upside down by one toe, while he picks insects from the bark. Their incessant "chicâ€"‘ ,a-dce-dee-dee" is very monotonous, but every once in a while some little fellow ovorflowing with emotion sings his love note, "phoebe" to his mate on the next branch. Suddenly the chickadees cease twittering and the weird loonâ€"like ery of the pileated woodpecker, or "cockâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"wood", breaks the stillâ€" ness. From the top of a lofty pine this redâ€"headed fellow, largest of our woodâ€" peckers, screams his harsh challange. The chickadees resume their twittering, but it seems to have a different note.

"It is estimated that over 4,000 peoâ€" ple visited the display during the two days, and all who saw it marvelled at the extent and variety of the great collection of art and fancy work, antiâ€" ques and novelties assembled in the different booths, all tastefully arrangâ€" ed for effective display. The booths in themselves were distinctive, and there was pleasing variation also in characâ€" ter and designs, especially in art and fancy work, according to the nationâ€" ality represented. Lady visitors, of course, found particular interest and fascination in the wonderful showing of fancy work in each booth, and they simply revelled in examining and adâ€" miring the work and skill evidenced in the products of the women of all naâ€" tionalities, not only in fancy work but in other arts as well. / l THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE Handicrafts Exhibition was Credit to Community "The handicraft exhibition conductâ€" ed last Wednesday and Thursday in Noranda curling rink under the ausâ€" pices of the Council of Friendship was concluded on Thursday evening under conditions and with an attendance really gratifying to all. Several references have been made in The Advance to the "Council of iFriendship" established some time ago at the Rouyn mining camp with the )| purpose of increasing understanding ||and friendliness between the various ; | races and divisions of the people of the camp, increasing the general tendency | to coâ€"operation and goodwill, and makâ€" ing for the building of a better camâ€" munity in every way. All through the North, and, indeed, all through Canada there should be interest in the experiâ€" ment at Rouyn and Noranda. For this reason The Advance has no apology to ,r‘.fl’er for particular interest in the "Council of Friendship," nor for the publicity given it. Last week there was a reference in these columns to the handicrafts exhibition held in the Norâ€" anda curling rink the previous week. This exhibition was the first big effort of the "Council of Friendship," and it seems particularly interesting. Accordâ€" ingly The Advance is giving the full report of the event as publishâ€" ed last week in The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press :â€" 5 Notable Event at Noranda Recently, Sponsored by the Council of Friendship.
