Mountain

The meeting held in the school house
at Mountain Saturday, February 23rd to
discuss the erection Of a creamery on the
company operative plan, by the farmers
|of Thingvalla and vicinity was we.l az
tended and those present showed great
interest, and took an earnest part in The
discussions which were instructive and
interesting. S. B. Brynjolfson was eject
ed Chairman and presided with his usual
tact and ability, and also took leading
part in the discussions. Mr.. Oh. lnurld-
ason read a paper by E. E. Kaufman Of
the Agricultural College,, showing the
advantages Of dalrying in farming. He
also urged the farmers to get together
and put up creamery as soon as possl-
bic. He thought the time was ripe for
such move and called their afternoon IL
the TACT that il they did not act now they
would lose by delay. He also explain
ed the plans upon which it could best be
erected. MIR. S. Krakson, one of Thing
valla's most progressive and p.to-date
farmers expressed it as his opinion that
the farmers should devote at least one
year in preparation by changing their
mode Of farming, and then he thought
they would be amply ready to profit BY
the creamery, which he considered a
good thing, and its erection step in the
right direction. Mr.. Hannes BjoSnson,
the Mark Twain Of Thingvalla, brough,
down the house by one OF his humorous
speeches. For while cows and cream
cry were all forgotten and all the anxiety
Of life was banisned in hearty mirth.
Mr.. Bjornson possesses the happy faculty
OF combining humor and fact so as to be
pleasing and instructive at once. Before
adjourning the meeting appointed an
executive committee consisting of Messrs
Brynjoifson, lndridason, Krakson, Krisi.
janson and F. F. Bjornson to make neces.
fsary arrangements. In CONCLUSION we
would like to say that the meeting was
certainly productive of great deal Of
good tor the community. He called the
farmers attention to the benefits to be
derived from diversified farming, anc
gave them the subject matter TOR some
solid thinking. There are no more
honest, hard working and industrious
farmers than those of Thingvalla. They
have just taken an important step in the
right direction, and they can be depend
ed upon to follow it up.

UPON A CATARACT'S BRINK.
Thrilling Experience of Voyaxer On
the Ottawa River.

Thrilling Experience Of a Voyager On
the Ottawa River.
The horrible experiences of one who
mas been swept away by some merci-
less current and finds himself ut last
1t the brink Of cataract may possibly
be imagined, but there are few who
survive to relate to us the particulars of
such an ordeal. Yet there is one in
stance where a man was saved at the
very edge of the falls.
There are few more imposing bits of
scenery In Canada than where the OF
tawa River pOurs laundering and foam
Ing over the Chaudiere Falls. When
the water in the river is low, as it Is
In autumn. there is fall Of about forty
feet but when the river is swollen by
melting SHOWS In the spring the ap-
parent depth of the fall is lessened. At
any time the rush and swirl of the
great river over this ledge Of rock is q
sight worth seeing.
In some places the water pours over
In dense and irresistible volume, while
at other points q shallow stream will
spray itself over a higher table Of rock.
On the upper Ottawa are fioated
boOms Of logs which feed the large
lumber industries Of that region. Han
ding these wet logs Is q treacherous
business, and 1t Is easy to lose ones
foothold and fall into the swift stream.
Accidents Of this kind occur frequent
~. The only case that did not have q
fatal termination Is the one referred to
here.
The man was busy forking these logs
with those sharp tongs used to swing
them about and draw them In, when
he missed his footing and fell into the
river. Though strong swimmer, he
could not withstand the current and
was swept out into the stream and ON
toward the falls. Nearing the falls. he
found himself still conscious, and it
happened that he was being fioated
over one of those tables of rock where
the water was SO shallow that he felt
himself touch. He struggled to regain
his feet, and was successful in SO do
ing, SO that he found himself standing
In, perhaps, foot of rushing water, at
the brink Of the cataract, a great cur
rent surging by him on every hand.
But it seemed hopeless. He saw no
way of getting to shore, and no one
from the shore could get to him. Many
people on the banks Of the river were
watching him and trying to study out
some plan to save him. Finally large
derrick was brought to bear, such as IL
used in building operations. A great
arm with ropes was swung out over
the current, and when the man had
fastened himself securely with the
ropes he was raised up high and swung
In, just as large stone would be raised
In constructing building.

serious reasons, personal or public. for
securing their suppression. To accom-
