John Tisdale, referrad to iu last week's items, underwent another and more suc- oeeaful operation in the Owen Sound Hospital on Wednesday last. We under- stand that no cutting was necessary, the disease proving to bo in accordance with Dr. Ego a prognostication, an abscess, the pus being extracted through the nostrils. John underwent the operation nicely and when seen by Mr. Haruess on Thursday was resting quietly and in a fair way to recovery unless u more serious relapse occurs, but wo hope for the best. Tho angel of death again visited the homo claiming as ita viutim Christopher Vauetta about 11.30 p.m. on Thursday last. His death did not cause surprise, as for the past two yeai-s he has been subject to temporary spells of weakness, each one of which was tnought would be his last but being possessed of a remark- ably tough "vitality he struggled along antil finally taking to his bed two weeks ago ho gradually siiuk until he quietly passed away. Ho claimed to be in his 59th year but having no records he prob- ably was not more tlian 84 or 85 years •Id. The Rev. J. S. I. Wilson read the burial service over the remains in the service room after which undertaker Chapman transferred them to the Mark- dale cemetery forjiukerraent. The de- ceased was admitted to the homo in August 1904. There have boon five deaths iu the home since the l»t April viz., April 3 men and 1 woman. May 1 man. On .-iccount of rheumatism Mrs. S. Carson was obliged to abandon her pos- ition on the staff here on Wednesday last. We understand her place is to bo filled today but by whom we have not yet heard. Miss Ruby Stone of Stone's Line spent from Sunday till Monday morning with her sister, Miss Robinson, of the staff. Owing to the large attondanoo at the funeral of the Lite Mr. Wm. Shields of Markdale suburbs which took place yes- terday afternoon, tho attendance at our divine service from outside was sfiarse. Mr. Harness delivered an appealing dis- course from Roman's 14-10.

So writes the Khan in the daily Star of recent date â€" a phrase preg- nant with meaning at the present dejte. And amid the wondrous reports of fubu- Iims diseovui'ies of wealtli stumbled upon by our hardy pioneers in tho way of for- est and mine, perhaps the most sui-pris- ing to the aver.igo Canadian are the rea- lization of the agricultural possibilities of •our northern possessions. It requires' no pheuomouul memory to recall the time when the shores of Georgian Bay, lakes Huron and Superior, were consid- ered the boundary line of amble Ontario, all beyond being left to the tmpper, lum. ))orman and Indian. It is not hard Ut i recall a statement made irt parliament by I (mo of tho wise men, tliat the country I liorth of the lakes was only fit to produce i Christmas trees and woodchucks. It is not necessary to spend seven years in the region to discover tlie mistaken idea so I long entort'iined. While it is true that I a large part of tho land is not farm land, ! it is just as true that a verj' considerable portion of Thunder Bay district conven- [ lent tt> the twin cities of Port Artliurand j Fort William (and the same descriptiim, j I aiu crcditiibly informed, will hold good I regarding other h.calities) is remarkably fertile, and where systematic fanning luis been introduced is proving highly satis- factory. There are certain sections adja- cent to tho towns, such as Slate River and Whitetish valleys, where several townships together present as fertile and inviting fields for tho farmer as any points I with which I am acquainted, abundantly supplied with tho purest water, most of I the streams well stocked with fish, while , small game is plentiful and a fair supply , of deer, moose and caribou. Wild small j fruits, including strawberries, gi-ow in ' abundance, which seenm to indicate the I possibilities iu the fruit lino. While I fruit growing is still iu its infancy, those I who have tried itâ€" one of whom, Mr, J. I L. Moikle, wholesale merchant of Port I Arthur, informs me lie lias found it a SUCCCB. Seasons are short, but growth is {)ho- J nomenally r.-jpid, tlie jiroof of wliich re- I quires only a stroll in the woods in June I or .luly, whore gaass, ferns and other wild phmts show such a stature as to o))- struct the view, wild grass si.x foot in height being nothing uncommon. The main crops so far raisoil here are jjototoes, oats and hay. Mainly owing to tho fact that tho demand for thcNO staples so far exceeds tho supply they have to bo imported in large quantities. The overflow of wheat from the west keeps that coioid at tho standard price, but wherever tried the yield has been fair and gratle A 1. The farm land being limited and lying in sections, t<> a great extent out of line of the C. P. R., lias in tho past escaped the notice of the main rush to tho west. Iu the localities above mentioned a few particulars might not be without interest. 10 miles west from Port Ai-thur on tho O. N. R. going west we reiich tho tiist stop west of Fort William, Slate River. Crossing the ferry south, over tho bridge and enter Shite River proper, a jjart of Papoongo township, the townships of Blake, Scobie and parts of othors,a verit/ able garden as far as soil, climate and gen- eral topography is concerned. Miiuy farms 12 to 'M years under cultivation are assuming a considemble value and many cozy homesteads are found. Hei"e is sit- uated the famous 1000 acre farm of Mr. W.S. Piper on which 1000 buslielsof oats wore taken from a ton acre field. A days drive over tho pleasjint roads of Slate River valley is a rare treat. Adjoining ! this on the west lies tho White River valley, each named after its princijwl i sti'eaui, contjiiiiing tho western portion of ' Papoonge, with Gillies, Pofir.son, Marks O'Connor luid Conwell townshijis, oin bracing some of tlie finest farm land to be found in thitjirio. O'Connor is the cen- tral township of tho groap and may fairly be called its garden having mostly gently rolling land, a gi-oat portion of I which was burned over years ago, most I of tho timber being destroyed leaving the land easily cleaned and removing most ' of the stumps with little labor at the pres- ' ent day. { In this township are located some old neighbors of The Advance. A town lies i between tho main of C. N. R. and the Port Arthur an<l Duluth branch, the great Kakabeka falls being just imtside Its N. E. boundary. So it is well served with railways, while two good government j roads intersect it, crossing in tho centre I and both loading to tho railway. Mr. John WhittJkker, formerly of Coyhm aud â-  Mr. Wm. Muir of the same locality reside on main road, while three miles north Mr. Joseph Oilison, one of Artemesia's form- er CouncillorH, occupies a half section of excellent lond purcnosed last year from your scribe, while immediately acrostt the rood Mr. Herb. Gouoe has recently Secured 100 acres of No. Hand with some 'mprovemonts. Other sections to the north and north- west are being opened up and a largo amount of good land, much of it well tim- bered may behomestoaded. Timber con- sists of jack pine, spruce, taiuarac and birch, while in the rougher portions volu- al)lo minerals lie buried. It has always appearovl to mo that to the young fanner who comes here willing to take off his coat and pixicoed to luixed farming, a fair competence is within easy reach. Some of tho prices current here at pres- ent and they i-epreaent nothing unusual at this season with higher tendencies at particular seasons will indicate the pros- pects: Hay «20.00 to 822.00 Oata 50 to .60 Poti\toes,porbag 1.50 Eggs, doz ;W to .40 BiiLter, lb 35 to .40 All kinds of vegetables at 25 to 50c per peck above Toronto prices. When we consider that any head of a family can .secure 160 free and preempt 160 more at 50c. per fjcre it seems strange that it is not bettor known. Not wishing to exhaust your patience I will rest for the present. Hoping at some future time to give you a sketch of some of the points at which the cities ha\t) developed in tho last six years, I am y<mi-s, W. M. CL.4.RK. Box 344, Port Arthur. Ont. McFarlandfi^Co.
