But while many were prejudiced
against the canal, there were others
who erred IN an opposite direction on
canal matters. / will state only one
instance, which will suffice to illus
trate some Of the visionary and ex-
travagant ideas which some men had
of the wonderful business which would
be transacted on Che canal.
Old father Daring a Swiss. and q
very conscientious and upright man
in his dealings, was then living on bis
farm in Pleasant Township. He was
baker by trade, but since he left
Switzerland, he had not followed his
profession" So, when Mr.. Jacob
Goss announced a phblic sale on fhe
24th day Of March, 1925, Mr. D. con-
cluded to purchase lot in the new
townof Basil. Accordingly be pur-
chased lot No 10, for thirty-fve dol
lars. He soon built large two-story
hewed log house for tavern. But
the great idea was bakery; so, after
the house was up, he built big bake
oven. While he was building this
oven, the neighbors would ask him,
"Wbat do yot want with such large
oven?' Mr.. D. replied, aWait until
the boats ron for there will, on an
average, at least one hundred boats
pass here every day; and each boat
will want bread" Big idea The re-
suit was. he was mistaken, both as to
the number Of boats, and the amount
of bread wanted by boatmen. AL
though he gave as big Fight cake for
a cent, and as large a loaf Of bread for
six cents as any other baker in the
country, yet the boatmen did not call
for bread as he expected.
The first two boats came along in
the night; for somebody said they saw
two great lights on the boat" Next
morning boat No. 3 came down.
remember hearing the sound of the
boatman's bugie. This created gree.
excitement, and brought everybody in
the village to tho brow Of the hill.
This boat carried a,few immigrants,
one of whom jumped off the boat, came
putting and blowing mp the hill, and
when he got to the big crowd of spec
tators on the hill, he inquired in his
dialect, "Where can person buy o
loaf Of bread hcre?" This question
was soon answered, for the old baker
himself was one OF the spectators, and
answered in the same dialect, "Yes,
yes, only come with me, will give
you bread" 1t was only few steps
to the tavern and bukery, and soon
the hungry foreigner had the sati isfacr
tion Of returning to the boat with q
large loaf, for which he paid only
