day, drifting down the river to Lee
compton, then sending their boat back
by express, returned last evening well
pleased with their trip It was a duck
hunt all right, and they shot the duck.
The hunters are rather reticent in the
matter as to which one shot the duck,
but it is believed by their friends that
their guns were fired simultaneously
and both charges took effect. Other
ducks were sighted, three in number.

The Venice of the North

Behind these staple towns lay Mervlle,

Venice of the North Here was the centre
Of the canal system which supplied these
industries with their coal and part of their
raw material. The great waterway of the
Escaut to Dunkirk and its branch to Lens
the St. Quentin Canal and it's tributaries of
Etrun and Janville, form part Of system
which was to have been completed in 1917
by the great state work of the Canal du
Nord; in the valleys of the Agache, the
Tortille, and the Somme. This system was
supplied with many of its enormous barges
by the yards of Merville.

busy industries before the war Estaires

BAGS -Maur made linen; Armentieres had

many industries, but principally iron and

their forges, which employed $4,000 men;
Aniche produced glass; st. Gobain was fa-

Quentin had woollens; Valencicnnes was a
centre Of weaving and embroidery And all
