DR.THOMAS BLACKWOOD.R.BLACKWOOD was born at West Shefford, Que., in 1853; is the son of Samuel Nelson Blackwood, who was one of the leading agriculturists of the last half of the nineteenth century in the Eastern Townships, a prominent member of the Provincial Board of Agriculture; and who, with his honored wife, on the the 30th of January, 1899, celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their wedding on the same farm on which they commenced housekeeping.Dr.Thomas, the subject of this sketch, was educated in the public school, built by his father and given to the county.Afterwards he took the course of veterinary medicine at McGill University, graduating in 1876.He commenced the practice of his profession immediately afterwards at his father\u2019s house.In the year 1880 he was invited to go to Boston, Massachusetts, where he at once entered the service of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company, then one of the half-dozen companies conducting the street railway business of Boston.Through all the changes of management in the past twenty-five years of the Boston Street Railway System, Dr.Blackwood has been one of the few prominent officials who has remained, practically speaking, in the same employment, a high tribute to his merits as a professional expert, and a graceful compliment to his manly qualities » of mind and heart.The Doctor enjoys ra large acquaintance throughout Massachusetts, with all lovers of the horse.At the deservedly popular Boston Horse Shows, Dr.Blackwood is always i a conspicuous figure year after year.He is invariably selected by the horsemen of the States to act as one of the judges.Dr.Blackwood is of a genial and prepossessing manner, widely known and respected by all classes, a Scotchman i every inch of him, with a ready hand and open purse wherever needed.(Copyrighted by the International News Bureau, Boston.)

and that settlers have already begun to penetrate that region.\u2018These Canadians are enthusiasts.They look at things through eyes like those of Col.Sellers, and they are expecting to eventually supply not only Canada and Great Britain, but also the United States and other countries with wheat.They say that the United States is growing so that it will soon con- | sume all the grain it can raise, and that our wheat area is already de- ~~ fined.They think also that our wheat crop will grow less from year to year, while theirs must be multiplied by ten or twenty before it reaches its maximum.The world\u2019s wheat crop now averages something like 3,000,000,000 bushels.Indeed, it is often much less.Last year (Canada raised 100,000,- \u2014 saine A at dt a \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 JOHN KAVANAGH, Reeve of Cardinal, Ont.000 bushels on four or five million acres.Among the lowest estimates of the wheat lands are those which put them at 100,000,000 acres.The land here produces almost one- third more than in the United States.It will average at least twenty bushels an acre if the wheat belt should all be cultivated.This is more than two-thirds of all the wheat now raised by man.Our crop of last year was only 684,000,- 000 bushels, and it was the second me \u201cLES CHATS\u201d FALLS\u2014ON THE RIVER OTTAWA, NEAR DUCHESNE LAKE.In very few parts of Canada can scenery of more varied, attractive and gorgeous beauty be found than along the Upper Ottawa.The Chaudiere Fall, near Ottawa, the Remoux Rapids, the Duchesne Rapids at Britannia, are each distinguished by features of wildness and grandeur of the most romantic description.The Duchesne Lake stretches from Britannia to the beautiful cataracts at Fitzroy Harbor.There the waters of the entire river are precipitated over a number of falls, broken by islands at .These picturesque waterfalls are called \u2018\u2018 Les Chats\u201d from the fact that the old voyageurs to the North-West, many years ago, discovered a number of raccoons on the shore when they landed there with their canoes, chats sauvage (anglice, Indian cat) being the French name intervals from shore to shore for raccoon.At the head of the Chats Rapids the great Chats Lake commences, from two to four miles in width and about thirty miles long\u2014an expansion, strictly speaking, of the Grand River.largest we have ever raised.I believe the acreage was something like 50,000,000.The average Canadian, however, will tell you that | their possible wheat area is far | more than 100,000,000 acres, and | that Canada can let one-third of its wheat lands lie idle and still control the markets of the world.\u201cHow rich the soil is! It is as fat as the Valley of the Nile.In Manitoba, where the land has been twice used over and over for wheat, the crops are almost twice those of the United States.Our average falls lower and lower.It is now only about thirteen bushels to the acre, while the average in Canada is twenty bushels or more.Much of this new land produces thirty and forty bushels; and here about Edmonton the farmers discuss fifty bushels as a possible winter-wheat yield.A good average on the new lands well farmed would probably be twenty-five bushels per acre, or almost twice what we are getting in the United States.\u201d\u2019 THE DEVELOPHENT OF NEW ONTARIO R.CARPENTER lately vis- that one can go in an automobile through any part of it.Great factories are springing up in some of the towns, and the whole region is one of industry and thrift.\u2018\u2018The new Ontario is the vast frontier which belongs to Ontario province.It lies above and beyond the latter.It is the great and Hudson\u2019s Bay and between Lake Superior and the Albany River extending on into the Rainy River country farther west clear to Manitoba.XR REP 2 \u2018\u2018T'his vast region is more than twice the size of the State of New York, and it contains 100,000,000 acres.The Thunder Bay and Rainy River districts in the west, which are now being opened to settlement, are alone quite as long as from Philadelphia to Boston, and as wide as from Washington to Ne ited New Ontario, concerning which he thus writes: \u2014\u2018\u2018I have been travelling through New Ontario.This is the wild north-west of the Ontario we know on the opposite side of Lakes Ontario, Erie, and Huron.The country near those lakes is about as thickly settled as Ohio.It has a population of 2,500,000.It has some of the best farms of North America, and enough of them to be worth $900,000,000, and to produce grain, vegetables, and fruits to the amount of $200,000,000 a year.Old Ontario has good cities every few miles, with street cars, electric lights, and all the surroundings of our best settled districts.It is eut up by railways, and the country roads are such CAPT.MARX, Of the battleship \u2018 Dominion.\u201d New York.The Algoma district farther eastward is almost as wide, and it extends from Lake Superior to the Albany River and Hudson Bay, while the Nipissing district northland between Georgian Bay | a runs from Lake Nipissing, not far from Georgian Bay north to James Bay.It borders the province of Quebec on the east, just as the Rainy River district at the other end of New Ontario borders Manitoba.2e vez XR \u2018\u201c\u201cWithin the past few years towns have sprung up all along the lines of the railways, settlements have been started here and there upon the Ittawa River, which goes up into Nipissing, and there are mining towns and lumber mills with farms about them on the streams above the Georgian Bay and along the shores of Lake Superior.\u201cAbout five years ago explora- .| tion parties were sent out by the Ontario government to investigate the country from Quebec to Manitoba.They reported that there is a wide strip of fertile soil running from one end of this wilderness to the other, about a hundred miles north of the Canadian Pacific Railroad.This region is of a different formation than that farther south.The land is a clay loam which will raise wheat, and it is now known as the great clay belt.The belt is several hundred miles wide, and altogether is estimated to contain in the neighborhood of 16,000,000 acres, or about as much as our State of West Virginia.It is covered with timber, which will have to be cut off ; but this may be done bv the lumbermen when the country is opened.XR XB XR \u2018\u2018Both the Ontario and the Dominion Governments are anxious to make this country accessible.The government of Canada has undertaken to build its transcontinental railroad through it, and by this time next year an army of track builders will be grading the route and laying the rails.The eastern end of the Grand Trunk Pacific, which is to be built entirely by the government, will begin at Winnipeg and traverse the clay belt, passing through Nipis- rn sing at about the latitude of Lake Abitibi, and going thence on to the Atlantie, giving a short haul for the wheat to the seaboard and England.\u201cThe Ontario pruvmeial government is building a railroad northward from Lake Nipissing.a few miles east of Sudbury, which will W.P.WALKER, Elected Councillor in Cardinal, Ont.cross the Grand Trunk Pacific in the neighborhood of Lake Abitibi.It has already laid its tracks for | about 120 miles, and it is now | Within a few miles of the clay belt.| Its surveyors are working further | northward, and they will continue | their survey of the line to James Bay.XR X% XE \u2018Another project is the James Bay Railroad.to run from here, Sudbury, to about the same point, me EY he, & Fa eee a ET ny te LE > LH NE oo E = ar ~%, or = Pa # d 1000 sat 2 rere yh ef) a ARRAS CAPR TERRE] ye inant in thi oup are Their Excellencies the Earl and Countess of Grey, Lady Sybil Grey, Capt.Trotter, A.D.C.;

and, like the other roads to the northward, will give that region an outlet to the great lakes and to Hudson\u2019s Bay.\u201cIf the clay belt turns out to be as rich a wheat country as is predicted, it may be that the wheat will go to Europe via Hudson's Bay.The distance is much shorter than by the lakes or farther south along the Atlantic, the chief diffi culty being that the straits which lead into Hudson\u2019s Bay are open for vessels only about four months in the year.This might perhaps be remedied by larger steamers or \u20181ce breakers which could penetrate the ice floes.\u201c\u201cThe Canadians claim that they have as good a climate as the United States.They say their winters are not as bad as ours, and that the long, steady cold makes better wheat and better men.I am told that the country grows warmer a hundred miles or so north of the Great Lakes.The cold increases until you reach the height of land which divides the T.H.CAMPBELL, Elected Councillor in Cardinal, Ont.er waters which flow into the Great Lakes from those which flow into Hudson\u2019s Bay.When you get over that ridge, the weather moderates all the way down to Hudson's Bay.\u2018\u201c\u201cThe clay belt is just beyond the height of land.At midsummer it is as hot there as in lower Canada or in the United States.Everything grows faster than in the States, for the days are fifteen or sixteen hours long, owing to the high latitude, the sun rising a little after 3 and setting between 8 and 9.Wheat has been grown, I am told, by the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company agents about James Bay, and the people here predict that the clay belt will be one of the wheat regions of the future.\u2019 \u2014 2 2 22e ma etre an 2 THE STANDARD, MONTREAL, CANADA.Reasons Why All Contractors Will Use THE J.W.HARRIS EXCAVATOR ad vo aT Te 0 ni ;

therefore doing away with all waiting on the part of carts, thus saving a large amount of money on this item alone.I The labor problem being the most important factor in sewer construction, it is with the utmost difficulty that competent help can be secured for this kind of work, thus entailing heavy expense to contractors in getting the right kind of men from various places at high wages, besides delaying\u2019 the work in hand.The J.W.Harris Excavator has , abolished all this uncertainty, however, and, to-day, contractors, with the use of The J.W.Harris Excavator, can bid with safety on work in one part of the country as well as another, as the labor problem, which is the only one involving uncertainty, is provided for.THE J.W.HARRIS EXCAVATORS will work in any kind of soil, with the exception of hard pan, which has to be picked.Water in ditches will not interfere in any way with the working of these machines.THE J.W.HARRIS EXCAVATOR will enable contractors to obtain Bonds more easily, and a lower rate, from Bonding Companies, when such companies are informed that a J.W.Harris Excavator is to be used on the work.FOR FURTHER PARTICULARS ADDRESS THE J.W.HARRIS CO., LTD, MONTREAL, QUE.THE J.W.HARRIS EXCAVATOR will save for the contractor insurance on workmen, the cost of picks and shovels, and the repairs to same.It saves pumping out trench after heavy rain storm and loss incident to workmen waiting three or four hours while trench is being pumped in the morning before men can be put to work, which is a very large item, as all contractors will admit.THE J.W.HARRIS EXCAVATOR is self-propelling.The J.W.Harris Excavator is made initwo sizes.One with bucket of half-yard capacity, and the other having bucket capacity of one yard.THE J.W.HARRIS EXCAVATOR is used not only on sewers and trenches.but for excavating cellars or foundations of buildings, and can be worked in the space of 24 feet without removing the main machinery, as the bucket is set on a derrick with a swinging gear, swinging on both sides of the Excavator twelve feet from the centre point.The J.W.Harris Excavator is also used for dredging purposes and crib work.The boom and derrick of The J.W.Harris Excavator can be altered so as to be used for railroad work ;

so small a disposition for it.\u201d\u2019 Sir Edward was but a boy of two and twenty when he made his maiden speech in the House of Commons, but Speaker Addington said of his effort: \u2018\u201cHe went through his performance with an eclat which has not been equalled within my recollection.\u201d\u201d Yet the debutant himself declared at the time: \u2018\u2018I feel convinced of my unfitness

spite of himself.He made an excellent Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the last Liberal government of which Lord Rose- bery was the head, and his fitness for the higher office, the most important and responsible in the administration, is everywhere conceded.He is particularly well qualified for diplomatic work.He possesses the art of refuting or controverting an opponent\u2019s arguments without hurting his feelings.Nor is this due to the employment of ambiguous phrases.He always makes his meaning clear, and says what he thinks in plain, direct Saxon.He never strains after oratorrcal effect.He does not seek out a political foe\u2019s raw spot and dash vinegar over it, as Chamberlain, for instance, is so fond of doing.He never wins a cheer from his friends by snateh- ing
