\u2019Bills of Exchange,\u2019 etc.His most important contributions to Canadian literature (and in acknowledgment of which, he was presented With 2 =.ler Man medal hw.sthe Eas] a mc sen J* Mere Jade during more recent, years.As the result of long and patient research in the ancient archives of the country, he began (1880) a publication of a series of essays dealing with the earlier history of some parts of the district of Montreal.These were largely translated from the French, and were embodied in a handsome volume which vas given to the public in 1893 under the title of \u2018Lake St.Louis, old and new.and Chwvalier de La Salle.\u2019 Judge Girouard married first in 1863, Marie Mathilde, daughter of the late John Pratt, of this city; second, Essle, daughter of Dr.Joseph Cran- will, of Ballynomoney, Ireland, and thirdly, Edith Bertha, daughter of Dr.John Beaty, of Cobourg, Ont.The lata judge was a member of the following clubs: Rideau and Golf, Ottawa; Royal Montreal Golf; Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club, Dorval, Que.He leaves - three sons, Sir Percy Girouard, now in Africa; Hector and Ernest, of Ottawa: and four daughters, Mrs.P.J.Baskerville and Mrs, O.Cote, of Qtawa;

Mrs.Simmons, proprietor of a Tes- taurant adjoining the burned building, and under the.Salvation Army Home, wag asleep in the basement.She was awakened and got out with a few articles of wearing apparel.Her place was considerably damaged by smoke and water.The basement now has about six feet of water in it.1 The smoke from the building was particularly dense and poisonous, owing to the nature of the materials burned, paint and varnish.! The cause of the fire is unknown.Spontaneous combustion is advanced as a theory.The rush of business was so great that Mr.Lariviere and a number of men worked up til 11 o'clock last night.It is not thought that they left anything that woud have led to the fire.It is likely to have started around the centre of the second floor of the building.The plave was insured, : ! Five horses were rescued from à stable in the rear of the factory.They were also rescued ih the nick of time, is the stable was filled with smoke when they were led.out.- ! The first alarm brought out Sub- Chiefs Mann and Lussier.When they reached the place and saw the seriousness of the fire they turned in a second alarm,.which brought out two- thirds of the force.Chief Tremblay arrived shortly afterward and took charge.Sub-Chiefs Marin and Briere also turned ovt.Excellent work was done in holding the fire to the one building.Several buildings were in grave danger of being consumed, but they were saved and incipient outbreaks were rapidly quelled.' SIR ALLEN AYLESWORTH To Keep His Seat Till Present Parliament Ends Ottawa, March 22.\u2014 At the Department of Justice a denial is given to the report that Sir Allen Ayles- worth will retire, and that there will be a by-election in North York.It appears that the story is based on the fact that the voters\u2019 Msts for the constituency was recently sent to he Printing Bureau.As the Hsts are revised every year, this constitutes but a slim basis for the story.The Minister of Justice has asserted for a couple of years past that he would not be a candidate at the general election, and has served notice on his constituents to that effect.That he will remain in harness till the life of the present parliament expires is almost certain.Pommes Cars Btuck in St.Paul.The street cars were

\u2018Witness\u2019 at our house for many years, and feel bitterly disappointed at the stand your paper has taken over this all-impor- tant matter.F.D.J.HIS PERSONAL OPINION.Play fair yourself.It is most unfair, as well as discourteous (not to put too fine a point on it) to accuse me of reiteratiing \u2018a lie\u2019 and to say \u2018A.C.L.would probably believe white was black if it stepped with Fils personal Interest to do so,\u2019 just because I happen tu differ from the Editor of tlie Ballot Box in my opin- fons.I am just as much entitled to my opinions as he is to his, and mine are just as likely to be correct as his.I did not say or hint that either the \u2018Witness\u2019 or the Premier is in favor of annexation, because I do not believe they are, but I do most firmly believe that this reciprocity pact (which the \u2018Witness\u2019 Has made its own by endorsing and supporting) must inevitably tend towards annexation, and 1 believe this is the reason for supporting it given by the majority of its Amenican supporters.I am not sure whether reciprocity, as now proposed, would henefit or injure my personal interests, but that has nothing to do with the case, and I form my opinions, and express them too, uninfluenced by personal interests or political leanings.If the Editor thinks it Is good manners to tell me that I would believe white is black if it suited my personal interests tn do so, then I am very glad to differ from him on this point also; I think it was insulting.A.C.L.is now quite within his right in declaring it as his opinion that reciprocity must inevitably tend toward annexaton.But he had no right in his first communication to imply that the Premier and the \u2018Witness' were consciously supporting an annexation pact, which he undoubtedly did when, in addressing the \u2018Witness,\u201d he reiterated the words \u2018Your Laurier-Reciprocity-Annexation pact.\u2019 We are glad now to have his opinion that neither the Premier nor tre \u2018Witness\u2019 favor annexation.] Yes\u2014 Protectionists are organized, trombonised, syrenised.and they do make a clatter in their effort to drown public opinion.They are highly organized and

The \u2018Witness\u2019 once ranked as an independent paper, but has degenerated into a rank party one\u2014one which would place Canada under the heel of the Yankees\u2014hence \u2018I said stop my paper, I am against your Laurier-Re- ciprocity-Annexation pact\u2019 You say, \u2018This man has evidently brought himself, or has been brought by the cur- \u2018rent hubbub, to believe a lie\u2014a very preposterous lie, namely, that reciprocity and annexation are synonymous terms.\u201d This man has done nothing of the kind, but believes the truth.Moreover, this man would recommend the \u2018Witness\u2019 to cease being Jesuitical.The two words may not be of a synonymous sense, but they are hyphened, because reciprocity is the means to the end, and that end is annexation of Canada to the U.N.A, ardently desired by our southern neighbors.It would be well for the editor to study the history and current events of both countries, and h» will possibly realize thæt reciprocity means

skating is being maintained in the Dominion.The season Just ending was marked by the recovery of the Earl Grey chalienge trophy by the Minto Club team.The trophy was taken last year by the - Earl Gre) Skating Club.His Excellency went down to Montreal recently to witness the competition and had the pleasure not only of seeing the Grey trophy taken by the Minto four, of which his daughter was a member, but also saw her and Mr.Ormonde Haycock successfully defend the Minto challenge cup for pairs.Mr.Havcock had held the Canadian single cnam- pionship before he recaptured it from last year's victor Mr.D.H.Nellis, of the Minto Club.Figure skating, through the patronage jt has received from Government House, might be termed a truly viceregal sport.Lady Minto, wife of Lord Minto.who preceded Earl Grey as Governor General, is Earl Grey's sister.She was an accomplished skater, and during her residence at Rideau Hall, gave her enthus- fastic patronage to the skating club, which bears her name.Membership in this organization is obtainable only after candidates have demonstrated their vproficiency before an examining board.The Monday evening skating parties are among the most enjoyable events of the winter season.Further, to advance the standard of fiz- jure skating, the club will obtain for next season the services of a competent professional instructor.The brilliant skating carnival, held recently.produced a fund to support this venture, \u2014\u2014prsmmmnenns NO OBJECTIONS.Ottawa, March 21.\u2014There will be no objections from Ottawa to an advance in the dates of the

dt-onight that there was a proposal to hold the Canadian Henley two weeks earlier than usual, said that Ottawa would be found strongly in favor of such a move, providing the western clubs are available.It would be too bad were Canada not represented in the big American meet, sald Pulford, \u2018and it would be a good move to hold the Canadian Henley about July 22: certainly we can get our

Mr.James J.Hill is chronically pessimistic in his utterances on this country's position and future.As a matter of fact, few men take as broad and generous a view of pending difficulties as Mr.Hill, who never points out & bad feature in the \u2018situation without\u2019 calling attention to thé obvicus remedy for it.Mr.Hill.now admits what is obvious to most business men, that trade is quiet, but he says that conditions are slowly bettering,.In the Northwest there is a steady improvement visible.There wil] not be as much new railroad mileage built as in past years, for the reason that the country's needs have been fairly well supplied.He reiterates that the cost of new terminals at vantage points is so great that the traffic wiË not bear its share of terminal charges, and this serves to check the construction of new lines.Sentiment in the North-west, among the well-informed, is not against reciprocity, Mr.Hill thinks.He points out that the price of wheat is fixed by Liverpool, and is based on the surplus offered.It makes no difference to Europe whether its grain comes trom .Canada, thc United States, or Argentina, and the removal of the tariff would not take anything from the value of wheat grown on this side of the border.The balance of trade between the United States and Canada is so heavily in favor of this country that it is certain that reciprocity would operate more in our favor.\u2018Mr.Hill expects to séè à steadity increasing train load on mest rosds.He has demonstrated on the Great Northern, Northern Pacific amd\" Burlington that the best way té\u201d {increase net earnings is to add to.fle tons loaded per car and the cars per itrain.The Great Northern's: train load, \u201cwhich was 509 tons in 1908, 502 in 1909, and 518 in 1910, will be 520 or

famgement of the canal for the purpose of developing power for the Canadian Light & Power Company.Since early Bast summer Mesers.Fraser, Braco & Co, apeclelists in caissons, subways and soncrete structures, \u2018have been at reork on the canal with three of the damgest size steam shovels, attended by eeven Inoomotives, with trains of dump cars operated on miles of track faïd parallel to the main street of the pity.On the canal banks beside the tracks may le seen contractors\u2019 equipment of every variety, including concrete mixer plants, pumping equipment, derricks, etc.The subdued roar of the steam shovels, the puffing of the hard- marking dinkey locomotives amd the clank of hoisting chains have\u2019 come to be the every-day affair in Valley- fAeld.THE WORK ALMOST DONE.The

C.L.Who is in charge of the great work at Valleyfield.ground preparations for the draining of the water were complete.For two weeks there was a daily subsidence, the water draining off through a con- ! venient sewer which discharged into the river at a lower level.As the water subsided the leaks in the cofferdam were promptly stopped up as each developed.The first installation of \\I/ X k Kall

\u2018legs\u2019 of this 'L\u2019 being each approximately 300 feat in length.Cribs of heavy timber were spiked together and paced in position on the line of the proposed dam.Stone was thrown into these from the decks of small BCOWS, causing them to sink into position on the bottom.Wooden sheeting was placed against the outer face of the crib and driven down through the soft material tn the bottom, forming a barrier practically impervious to water.Strength and welght were added by dumping stone from the eteaui ghovel excavation into the crib.This was accomplished by backing parrow gauge trains cautiously out BEAUHARNOIS CANAL \u2014Openings the enlarged canal.The trestle is pumps, with a capacty of eight million gallons per day, was next put to work, and in three mouths from the beginning of operations the canal was free of water.Steam shovels, which had already been put to work in the part of the canal protected by the old locks, were then moved up and put to work, night and day, enlarging the canal from the ten-foot depth to a twenty- five-foot depth.Safe behind the cofferdam, the huge intake structure was begun as soon as the shovels had completed the first section of the excavation.This intake structure will control the admis- gion of water into the canal.There will be a telephone connection from this point to the great power house at St.Timothee.Orders from the power house will be received and executed by men at the intake, so that \u2018the water can be increascd or decreased upon the top of the orib, so that the Alling was done with great rapidity.at

Leen filed, earth was dumped from the cars over and outside of the sheeting, making altogether rn embankment which has for the past the cofferdam.eight months stood up.against the storms and currents coming in.from the lake.The operations the contractors were watched with a good deal of interest but more ecepticism.By the wise men who had eeen the oporations along the canal for the past twenty, forty or sixty years the dhwatering was regarded ag .an impossibility, and it was fairly predicted that the contractors were sinking their substance in a vain attempt to con- Quer the forces of nature.It trans- CANAL\u2014The new behind in the distance.] sist of six openings, each 20 feet wide | and 25 feet deep.These openings are protected by steel gates, which may he raised and lowered according as more or less water is wanted.The gates are supported between narrow concrete piers.The piers are apparently very slender, but those who watched their construction could see .that inside the \u2018concrete was an intricate mass of reinforcing steel bars.The foundations of these plers are set deep into the solid rock, so.that when required.the- whole canal, may : tear its way through

gates and piers.OPENINGS FOR NAVIGATION.1 In addition to the small openings already described, there will be a fifty-foot opening protected by regular boat lock gates.This opening is for the purpose of permitting the use of the oinal for purposes of navigation.- The use of the caral for this purpose is one of the stipulations exacted by the Government from the Canadian Light & Power Company in the lease negotiated at the inception of the power scheme.The last pier of the series is now being constructed, and the steel gates are being hung in position.When these have been placed the intake structure will be tested, after which, on the opening of river navigation dredges will remove the cofferdam and deepen the channel between the lake and the now canal opening.The operation of a seventy-ton steam shovel is something that the average man will stop to watch for a moment, even when he is on his way to lunch.In the middle of the afternoon the busy man will find time to stop while a whole train is loaded.The man who is not busy will cheerfully spend hours up on the bank opposite the shovel.During the long evenings of summer in Valleyfield hundreds of residents covered the hanks of the canal watching the night shift on the shovels digging great bites out of the bottom of the canal.DOES THE WORK OF THREE HUNDRED MENA seventy-ton steam shovel will dig out more material in a day than could be picked and shovelled by a force of 300 men.The monstrous dipper will shovel in the hands af any man.The out and swings with rapidity and precision to the waiting cars, as much earth and rock as could be carried away by three horse carts.The shovel is operated by an expert shovel engineer, whose Jevers control the swinging and hoisting motions of the bucket.This man, whose judgment is trained by long years of experience, guides the manganese steel teeth of the bucket gently into the earth at the beginning of the cut, then he gradually increases the speed as the teeth loosen up the materfal,- and, in three seconds perhaps, the bucket has been filled and swung over to the waiting train.The thrusting movement of the bucket is controlled by the cranesman, sitting on his small perch alongside the swinging mass of steel known as the crane, At the rear end of the shovel the fireman lahors, constantly feeding coal and raking his fire much as a locomotive firemen does on a first-class railway locomotive.The coal is carried down the bank by a sturdy young man, who struggles under burdens aggregating several tons dally.Six atteñäants in the pit in front of the shovel lay short sections of track on which the shovel is advanced every half hour or so, as soon as she has dug out the earth immediately in front of her.When digging, the shovel is clamped down to this track, and it is braced against upsetting by strong arms spreading out on either side at the forward end of the machine and bearing tightly on large blocks provided for this purpose.DIGGING INTO THE ROCK.The earth in the bottom of the canal was soon removed, leaving bare the bed rock.which underlies all that section of the country, not far from the surface.This rock was attacked by rock drills operated by steam power sup- piled from hoilers set up on the banks.The shovels are going along the cuts once more at a lower level scooping up the broken rock and dropping it in the cars jus: as if it were soft material.Without the small locomotives the labors of the gigantic shovels would avail little.The contractors\u2019 locomotive, in appearance and habits, is a marvel of energy and industry.Several of these Samsons, puffing their way over the maze of more or less crooked tracks, shove the empty trains alongside the shovels, then with much puffing drag the loaded train away, and rush it up the incline to dumping places.Here the cars are dumped into the swamp or river or bank on shore, as the case may be.WHAT THE BOSSES HAVE TO DO.The shovel organization is operated by- en assistant superintendent, who bosses the donkey engines, shovel crew, pitmen and dump gangs, and track gangs, and is a busy man.Locomotives and loaded trains occasionally get off the track.Dumps \u2018may go slow, shovels may break down, material may stick in the cars, but wherever there is trouble this boss is expected to be.On the blowing of the whistle in the morning, it is up to him to see everything is ready for work.It is up to him to see that repairs are made promptly.The number of cars dug is carefully counted, and thea reputation of the shovel crew and the boss grows or diminishes according to the results.A good boss or a good operator is naturally known to several contractors, and his services are in demand in proportion to the work he can get out of a given number of shovels and men.Just as busy as the man who bosses the shovels ix the master mechanic, who has charge of the repairing apd caring for the many thousand dollars worth of valyable machines used in the execution of large contracts.The work at Valleyfleld has been ome long struggle against the waters of the bay, which gush mm through crevices in the rock far below the impervious banks and the cofferdam.The

work.Work is plentiful, wages are high, and the outdoor life has many attractions for men of energy and ability.The full- blooded man is not deterred by all- night tasks, in bitter weather, when the plant for which they are responsible requires attention or repairs.The power required for the operation of the pumps, shovels, rock drills, mixers, hoisting engines, locomotives, etc., at Valleyvfield, aggregates about one thousand horse power.ABOUT THE CONCRETE WORK.The concrete for piers, abutments, etc.is made of Canadian Portland cement, sand dredged from the bed of Lake St.Francis, and crushed stone prepared on the spot.The contractors and plant on the work has been in the hands of Mr.Charles Edward Fraser, a graduate of the Science Department of McGill University.Mr.Fraser is also à member of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers and member of the American Society of Civil Engineers.Mr, Fraser spent four years on the construction of the first subway in New York, creditably completing the Park avenue section, after the unfortunate death of the contractor who had undertaken the work.His next work of importance was the superintendiug of the construction of the four Pennsylvania tubes under the East river, New York, and of late vears he has undertaken contracts of important works in New York city, Niagara Falls and other places, aggregating nearly a million dollars.The chief of the local engineering force is Mr.Jos.D.Evans, whose TRANSFORMATION OF THE OLD ton steam shovel loading the cars.BEAUHARNOIS CANAL \u2014Seventy- have
