Do You Know That: A number of private firms operating airlines in Canada held contracts with the Government to carry mail. Under government control they were allowed to issue their own poslago for use on the mail they trans ported.

Majority of these stamps were printed in cou or booklet panes and have one or two lm- perforated edges, according to L. S. Holmes. The first flight occurred on August 28. 1918.

To his Sparks street studio came atateamen, timber tycoons, debutantes and the plain people that constituted the mosaic of Canadian life In that noatalgtc Victorian aga when eur eountry was pushing back (he frontiers and rustling for itself a place in the new century. And so this week we look at the Ottawa scene as recorded pictorlally by S. J. Jarvis, one of the outstanding portrait photographers ot Canada years ago, whoae albums tell the story of an Ottawa that rived, moved and had Its being In the pristine glory of days before It had a Gothic akyline. Through the work and recollections of this vigorous photographer of our rugged days4 we glimpsed the Ottawa of the board walk era, and McAdam main streets, and hitching posts, and cigar store Indiana words and phrases now outmoded in the strange Jargon of a generation that talks of bebop and gobbledook, of an Ottawa where the lamplighter flitted on his rounds with a short ladder, of two-wheeled water puncheons creaking on dusty streets; of "Copper Johnny" aeUlng the Montreal Witness on the parapet PaP" present Isolation Hospital.

Mr. Jarvis' memories go back clearly to early boyhood when the family lived In a clap- boarded log house with hand-cut shingles at approximately 78 Stewart street.

A family portrait shows him in his mother's arms as a babe of two months outside the frsme door. Thst was in 1803. His mother was a comely young matron In a crinoline dreas, fashionable In that Civil War period when the Bkie and the Grey were fighting bitterly along the valley of the Shenandoah. So Mr. Jarvis dates his days to that nostalgic interlude when Stephen Foster's songs gave this continent a romantic aura that has vanished somewhere Into the Umbo of the years.

'Snldera' oa 8andy Hill. He recalled Sandy Hill when It was a sandy hill. The geographical feature of its eastern slope was sn Immense natural cone of sand rising from the river on ui wuiuuf aired near St. Patrick street bridge. On the opposite slope, facing Strathcona Park, was the old rifle range with its row of targets at approximately the yards, range commen cing at about Laurier avenue, with the 1.000 yard range at Camming.

Bridge. However, it was noi me omucr wiui iia wicked that was used at the 1,000 yard range, but a special target rifle. With Charley Ogllvy, young Jarvis used to collect the flattened bullets that "pinged" off the Iron targets. Also, these two boys participated in some daring ming holes. The "Boy's Rock" was one favorite hole Just op- noaito the haihlnf nool in the park.

Besaerer then built himself a wooden house on tne street that now bears his name Just about opposite the Little Theatre. But in the opinion of Mr. Jarvis, the finest house in Ottawa for over half a century was that owned by Benjamin Batson of the firm of Currier snd Batson.

It was located on King Edward between Daly and Stewart. It was demolished and replaced by an apartment but there is a piece of the old wall there yet. Wells and 'By Wash'. In reminiscent mood. Mr.

Jarvis recalled Ottawa's drink- Ing water supply from wells. There was a well over 60 feet deep operated by a aort of wind- lass st the corner of King Ed- ward and he observed.

Even a small fire in those day quickly mushroomed Into a devastating holocaust.

People poured water from this well on their blankets and suspended them against their dwellings and on the roofs. Sometimes It was spark proof. Methods of Are-fighting were crude and often non-effective. The old hand pumper would be drawn by citizens to the scene of the blaze and all hands would work the pumper drawing water from a series of puncheons. When this supply gave out the fire Just raged unchecked.

Another alternative, In a Lower Town fire, was to draw water from the "By Wash" which spilled over from the canal through Moagrove croaalng HI-deau street, and turning down George to about Cumberland street. At every street corner the Wash was crossed by a little bridge. The By Wash finally disappeared with the advent of I the first trunk sewer In that area Face Lifting Jobs.

These rocks were erect-' ed into a high wall below the Chateau Laurier and curved around to near St. Patrick street. Large stretches of this wall can be seen today aa tne CPR train approachea the bridge over the river, The other feature that al tered the city's face was the removal of DufTerln and Sap- pers Bridges In 191Z.

In contrast, I remember how genial Sir Wilfrid Laurier was on hi. visit to my studio." Mr. Jarvis posed both statesmen full figure length. Years later when the sculptors wanted a likeness to scale, it was these full length portraits they utilized. So today on Parliament Hill you can see Sir John with hi.
