On tlio Auiericnn side the chauncl eutera hy Detour (a decaying lumbering town) arid for foity-livj miles, to Sault ste Marie, the ehaiiuel i« marked hy buojs wliich are Ii;.lited at aiijht. This chojinel is just surticiently wido for two of the laiReat vessels to [hms "vith ease. Any vessel en- tering this clumnel has right of way over any l<,i|lowin(4 craft, and when a s'ow tr.ivellinii tow of barges gels in front of a 8[)ecdy piisaengei'p(*aft the said pa-sseuyer craft must coiT^.m to the moveuient of thuso bft'gea. As a couBequence certain captains of fii!.t ve.ssols have iici]uirtd a How of AngioSaxoli terms which eaiuiot be found in the Good Book. Should they undertake lo pass a craft ahead and an HCcideut occur there would bo no redress. The CaiiaUiaa cli.iiitiel is not. so deep as tho Aiuei ican and us a consequence mo.st of tho tiafiio )H\<^s by th- latter. The con tiiiuous proi.essiou of boat-i up and down tJ>_i^ river is rivalled nowhere el.-<e in the ">?or'd. The tonnage piisainj; throu<;h the i>tiuit loi.'ks is greater than that passing through the Suez caind. It is indued n woudetful sight to eeo ttio varied oraft which ply here,from tlieiiny vapor launch to tho hugi) ore-carrying barges l!l)f) and 400 feet in length. Tho iiiodBrii whttlebiwk attract* moct i.ttention. These always go ill pairs. When loaded a meie strip of their .steel backs shows above the water; when empty they hail; like nothin;; under tho stars that ihv writer has ever seen before and cannot ha coin)Mired to anything auim.ite or inanimate. By rivei men some of iheui are calKd "pius," ow- ing tu tho pcculiHr .oonslructinu of their snout. Hut thoy are f»u.t vid carry huge loads knd go under iiiHte-.d of over the big waves of .Supnrior. Tbo two town* at the Snult were a ipiirvcl to thowritorniHtaro too Urge a pro(M>niiion lo wiy utuuh nbfiut. The American Sault hiis a popuhiiiiii often thousand. The Caiindiaii Sault is cum- piirtcUoftwo t >wns â€" tho Sault proper with n population of eight thouiumd, aiid Steoltvu, still uutid« tlio cvrporution, of ten thousand, making altogether a ros- poclable city of eighteen thousand people. Everything is new here â€" excepting tho human bein-is tlieni.selves. These ait! largely mado up of Ontanans aud some of the litist blood too, t'.iat Ontaiio cculd supply. Here «u had the pleasure of , meeting a large nuinher of people from , our own district, chief of whom wo wish, to mention 'ho eliiutuing family of Mr., Ale.\. Madill, who went to tho Ai4:criciin , Sault last fill! but are now resident of the Canadian .lide, and by whom we were handsomely euterlained. We are <;lad to , report that Mr. Madill is doing well audi has luircliasod property with a view to inak'ug liis permniieiif homo thel•(^ Then , we also met our old friend, Mr. Alex, i Unuuah, who is looking remaikably wel 'i for a man of 73 fumiiiois. AiiotUor Area- j mofaia boy who i.< doing well and owns his own property is Mr. Alex. HoIIoy. Mr. i Oeo. Williiiinsi.'i!, who li»ed with his i parents on the (). D. K,, has a good alt- | nation as bridge lender on tho inter- j iiaiional railway bridge, American side. Othere from here on tho American side j are W. Galbiaiih, Andy Arnott â€" now i Deputy slier. ff Arnott â€" from M.irkdalo ;, Alex. Hobinn, Cinnentor fr^iii MoTntyre; , Oeo. Stewart. Artemesia; Thcs. Lackey, | farmer ; R. Taylor. On the Canadian j aide, in .addition lo tho.te already named, | are (!onii Knapp, recently of Durham, who i keeps tho Algoiua house ; Robt. WcKee, Will U.llev, Alex. Holley, Tom Mc- Artbur, David and Jas. iJow, .Tas. Rose berry and two soils, James McMurdo and .Mi's. Stuckoy, nee Miss Eleanor MciCoe. This iniikcs a respectable Grey county colony. Of eouse there must bs many I others whose names we did not hjarn. The Canadian Sault has one of tlio largest steel pbiii<-s in Ujo woihl, but this is not quiet ready tor operation. It a!fo has (Uie of the hiigest pulp mills in the world, chemicai wuiks, etc. As we have said before, the Sault to-day is a big prop- osition. Mr. Clorgue managed tho huge business hero badly and has been super- ceded by Mr. Shields, but all the same Clergue's name is venerated l)ecau.se say the people, had it not been for him the town site might still have been the tent- ing ground of the red man. Thim.'S are said to be dull at the Sault now, although building is still pr'igressint; and land values are well maintained. It is fully e!(pected that things will boom again when the steelworks open. These will employ ICOOiiion. We always labored under tho idea that there was no farming land around the Sault â€" that rocks, mountains and s|,rucc swamps predimiinaied. This conception is now exploded. As a matter f>f fuCG iheie are largo tiacts (f hr-st class fanning land for miles in every direction. Hay at the Sault is fifteen dollars per ton. On the .A.iiierican side it is ten. The Algoma Central railway, now uniler construction, will reach the big Hulen iron mine at filiehi|iici)teu this summer. The steels are laid for 48 miles, leaving only about 30 miles to complete. This line pa.sscs through some good farming country and some thai is very poor. .\ii .American yeutleman, speaking to tho writer, said that Ontario was "bound to he the nclust country oiiGikI's earth. Asked his reasons for such a brond statrinenr, he said : "They have the mineral over there â€" the richest mines in the world â€" a bed of miu- oral from the Lako of tho Woods t^i the .-Vllantic ocean. When developed it will bring untold riches. It may nob bo fully ("ovelopeil for 2C0 yeais, certainly not in one day, but it is bound to come ; the mineral is tlu-re and it will be got out." Such is the prevailing Ani'-ricali idea,nnd thoy have been quicker to si-a this iinportaui fact than C.oiadiaiis theni.selves. That if is being developed fiist Ih proven to-day hy tho imineiiAe number of huge ore harges pa--«ing up and down the Sault hwks every hour of the duy to the Michipicoten and other iiiineN on the north shore of Superior. It gives ono a bettor conception of out importance on this continent and in the world atlaig^ when we hoar such sentiments as ((Uoted alK>ve and through our own tyesnjlo <«ith what grecil the great lake vessels even n jw tumble over themselves, as it wore to bring the products of our mines to tho cimmercial mart. Even now, at tinicc, these locks have all the business thny cau attend to. \\Miat will it be in years to come when traftic is doubled, and trebled, and quacU'upled, as it certainly will be? We coiilidoutly believe that the Sauk, which, by virtue of its position, is the marine gateway between East and VVast, is bound lo be a city of great proportions, and that at no very distant day. The Long Siiult rapids was an important point in Ihe early history of our country, and it is bound to still remain an important centre. The old block house, . occupied by the Hudson Bay company in early daj'fl, is still standing, surrounded by its stone wall, but within Ics.i 'hivii a st ine's throw have grown up lings pulp mills,and pel try has given place to paper. The doa train .ind batteau have been numbered with past things and electric cars and huge steamer.T have replaced them. We were shown a miniature lock which was used by the Hud.son Bay company for the purpose of conveying their biitteaux above l.he rapids. Compared with the great govorn- m.'nC locks of to-day, this is (ort/;iinly a very great curiosity. Columns upon columns might be written upon the mau factures located and locatiug here, indus- trial prospects, etc., but space will not I'low ( f idiiboration. Si Hi m t:> say tli.-it the Sault will soni > day astonish tie world with it.s proiUic ions. .Stuuc Scttlciiieiit ;ncFARLAND, STAFFORD & CO. HARKDALE, ONT. . .
