The remains were 'sent to Shelbnme Friday night in a special car provided by the government, and escorted by Dr. Sproule.

A Cap That Fits Somebody We think the party that made and ciculated the storyâ€" that the S. & M. Co. held part of John Kerton's farm as security for the machinery bought by W. and M. Kerton, will see the night. Next murninga lumberman's te.im was engaged to portage our suppliea over a half-mile portage to Long lake, across a mountain some 200 feet high. Here we found an "alligatui," upon which our supplies and the bunch ot hunters waa transported up the lake for aix miles to a fire ranger's shanty, where we weie to be domiciled fur the coming two weeks. For the uninitiated we may say that the alligator was not of the orthodox southern variety, but a species peculiar to the lumber districts uf our north country where it is found necessary to sail on hmd as well as water. An alligator is a boat built on the scow principle which can run thi-ee miles a day overland and six miles an hour on water. Captain Lewis was one of the jolliest beads we met in ^he north. He weighed 225 lbs. and eveiy ounce exuded jollity and good nature. He insist- ed on landing us without any pay what- ever and that, of course, was something worth appreciating. After locating reconnoilering for game commenced. Plenfy of fresh moose signs were found and red deer appeared to be abundant. One of the latter was secured the first day and during the ,. ,,. . • .week one and two were captured each that he has circulated something that is , , ,„ c . j u. , f , . , day, but up to Saturday night no one untrue, and out advice is that he bad i u ,i . • . . -.i. 1j^,j py^g nj contact with a moose and a better pull in hia bill, lis the frosty weather is here, and he might get it nipped. W. and M. Kerton, Maxwell, To whom it may concern :â€" This is to certify that we have never held any claim whatever on the farm of Mr. Kerton sr. As a matter of fact, we did not know he owned the farm, nor do we know where his farm may be located. More than this, we have never asked Kerton Bros, for any security as they have always paid us up in a very satisfactory manner. Sawyer & Massey Co. Limited. The telephone came in handy at the home of Mr. R. D. Simpson, of Albion, a few nights ago. Mrs, Simpson noticed that the roof was on tire. Her husband ad gone to a neighbor's. She gave a general alarm on 'lie tele- phone with the result that several of the neighbors were on the scene in a very few minutes. By hard work the Bre waa extinguished and the damage done waa not great. Had they not had a phone in the house no doubt the buildirg would have been destroyed as a gale was blowing at the time.-Bolton Enterprise. The C. P. R. will add a thirty-foot aectiun to the S. S.

Seven deer w.-w the count up to Saturday night. Before going farther let ua more fully describe the location. We were between two high mountain ranges towering up from 600 to 1000 feet, in a valley four miles across. In this valley lay Long lake, a body of water of varying dimeu- tions, wide stretches of water, narrows just wide enough for the .-Jligator to steam through, bays and inlets innumer- able. This lake was one of the most picturesque we have ever seen, and the mountains around and pine forests added very materially to its chaimâ€" a lake which, though ten miles long, not more than a mile or so of its expanse could be seen at one time, owing to its wiiidiug channel. It abounds in splendid land- locked salauin and boss, as our frying pan testified (of course before the close season came in.) Suuday was quietly spent, but three of the party, including Bill the guide and ye scribe, climbed to the highest jx«int on the north mountain and wore more than repaid for the arduous task by the magnificient panorpina unfolded to the vieion. Looking westward we could see as far as Little Current, 35 miles away, and the La Choche mountains ten miles further on. Long Lake lay below us, but only a few of its stretches could Iw followed hy the eye awing to its piney shores being hidden to view. One day while holding down a stand on a narrows of this lake the alligator came along. From whore we stood no water could be I seen, and OS she passed the view, was weird in the extreme, l>earing the appear- ance of a vessel steaming through a pine forest with no vissible water on which to ride. All her upper works were in full view and her steam trailed oflT among the pines, causing a most tantaatic effect.
