McCloy has never used liquor or tobaoco and a doctor one told him that he would live to reach 100, and at present this seems more than likely. Six Weeks' Voyage- 1 Mr. McCloy Is. a native of County Derry, Ireland, but at the ago of Z2 na sailed ror Canada. Literally sailed, because ooean travelling In those day was somewhat different to what It la today.

There were no four days and 18 hours records but six; weeks snd three days was considered a quick run for thoee days of sailing vessels. He arrived In OtUwa July 11. 146. having tourneyed up from Montreal by boat He found a few chanties on Sparks street. The residential portion of Bank street was praotlcal ly unbuilt on.

and property oould be had for almoat nothing. Mr. MoCloy remember walking over Parliament Hill before there waa a building there. Mr. McCloy started work on a farm here, but after a few yeara he Went Into the lumbering bualnasa with Messrs McKay and McKinaon at New Bdlnburgh.

A tew years Ister the Brock villa and Ottawa line was built. He attended tha sitting of 4he House of Commona and heard the speech of D'Arcy McOee en April in, a few hours before he was assassinated.

As an instance of the remarkable memory of Mr. McCloy, he can quote nearly the whole of an article written on D'Arcy McUeet which wa published In an Irlah news paper and despite the fact that he has not seen tne article ror some yeara Pint Srhool. Mr. McCloy was a member of the school board for alx years and It was mainly due to his efforts that the flrat publlo school waa built.

W.G. BLACK OPPOSED TO WATER PLAN CONTlNl'KD FROM PAGE II. Supply Too Small? "1 believe the" Oatlneau water la pure, the best that can be found anywhere. I have travelled that country between thirty and forty years. I have Just returned from the Upper Uitlncau.

and 1 find the Ottawa water problem th aubject of much discussion by tha people there, snd to briefly express the prevalent opinion found among the most Intelligent residents who know all that country, they consider the preseht proposal of Ottawa the most recklessly extravagant that la possible to imagine. Th. believe we can not get the necessary supply from Pemlchsnga and Long I-ake, and they declare that we cap never raise Thirty-en Mile Lake high enough In twenty years to force the water Into Pemtchanga. Briefly stated, the present propossl Is this: "Lay th pip through the township of Hull nd Wakefield, across to the east side of the Oatlneau up to Long LaBS. Thla lake Is only two miles long.

Then It Is proposed to tunnel through a big mountain one mile and a quarter, to Lake Pemtchanga. Between this lake and Thirty-one Mile Lake there la a few hundred feet, but Thirty-one Mile Lake is thirty feet lower than Pemlchsnga, and It la proposed to put dam forty-five feet high across the present outlet of Thirty-one Mile Lake between Oracefleld and Bouchette, and the "estimate" Is that we have certain rain and snow fall In five or alx yearn It will be raised the necessary height to run Into Pemtchsn-n. Some Idea of the difficulties ot thla problem may he grThered when yen reflect that this will flood a country more than double the present slxe of Thirty-one Mile Lake. AlternaliTS Flan. "But "another.

and. It was claltned, Infinitely better plan was suggest fil to ms by eome of the level-headed. Intelligent men, and It appealed to me as an ordinary layman. It the state-menu are correct, and I know that they ware given In good faith as bela Infinitely better, shorter and Immrnso--ly cheaper and' mostly through a level country. The alternative suggestion Is this: Keep to the west side of the Oatlneau, through Hull.

Wakefield, Low, Aylwln, Kasabaauxa Plain to Danford Lake, which o'acharge Into Plckanoch Rlfer. There la a chain of Lakes above this all dlAchsrgtng into the Pickanoek River. First. One Mile Lake, next Ptve-txille Lake, (hen there Is the little and big Kegema Otter lath, Murray Lake, and Big Lake Demo, )t mllea long, all discharging Into the -Pickanoek. Now, there la on self-evident Important tact that can be aeon by anybody, even ha la not aa expert.

There Is more than four times aa much water discharging from these lake, at "ill season of the year than there Is Mm Thirty-one Mile I-ake. It la ctahned that here ere oould get an ample, supply of equally good water with na engineering dtfftcultle. of any account, no big rivers crnea. or mountains to tunnel through and SI Immensely teas cost.
