We scemed a story, so we chased out to the new airport exâ€" pecting .the landing the big plane: but upon arrival there it was learned that the party hat changed their plans and turned back to Winnipeg after getting unfavourable weather reports.

Why Are the Ranks of the Prospectors Thinning Out? Toronto is given as an Indian name signifying "Trees rising from the lake." This, of course, was before there was any chewing gum marathon in the lake. Recently there has been considerable discussion as to ‘the derivation of the word Toronto. Whether the statement in Warren‘s Primary Gecgraphy will help settle the dispute is an open quesâ€" tion. It might at least renew the quesâ€" tion and restart the argument. The old geography says that the proper proâ€" nunciation of Toronto is "Toâ€"ronâ€"to," with accent on the "ron." Toâ€"day the usual pronunciation is "Tronta," with emphasis on the nasal part. it was not suggested how Montreal got that wavy. ‘"Winnipeg" is said to*® come from the Indian language and to mean "Turbid Water." It is a wonder that the Winniâ€" peg of 1886 would quietly endure having dirty water thus thrown on their fair name. Montreal fares better being simâ€" ply described as "Royal Mount,." though | l (presumably Mr. Warren) did not say a word about the Algoma wolves. or The Sault Star would be turning him round in his grave, if he has passed away, as seems likely, or giving him an ctherwise dizzy time if he still remains upon the earth about which he wrote so knowingly. Of course, by far the greater portion of the geography is taken up by text, pictures and maps regarding the United States of America and the several states included in that category. Some of the illustrations include:â€"*"Indians Hunting Buffaloes," "View of the Rocky Mountains." "Lassoing Cattle."

There is no time to lose. Optimism, one killed, cannot be revived at will: neither may markets prosper when the backbone of the business upon which activity is reared has been broken. New strikes are essential to sustained interâ€" est in mining. Without them markets lose their impetus, and it is certain that as the number of prospectors deâ€" creases new strikes must also be corâ€" respondingly fewer. The spirit necessary to conquest of this largely unknown land is the most valuable asset the Dominion possesses, and if anything has been done to strangle it the errors must be rectified.
