Everything In Sight So HogTown the Holland Landing anchor that reminisencc of our scrap with Brother Jonathan in the only prominent historic relic that the North Riding of York holds as a tangible moment those stirrine times Now Toronto or at least a homo on Board of Control agi tates removal of the old anchor to the city just as a sort of a cheap little election campaign side issue But this assumptive gentleman when he induced a photographer to come up here in August and the relic for publication purposes displayed his gross ignorance in al lowing picture to appear two weeks ago in the Toronto Star with simply an interrogation mark as io the actual facts of its removal to East This has opened the for a ser ies of sketches being published regard ine the transportation and use intend ed of the anchor itself together with facts regarding the town plot and their associations the village of St Albans the Lower Landing it was locally called by those who Portaged to and polled a battcau up the soldiers Bay or em barked from there on the old steamer Beaver on leaving tlie York Road stage coach or a trip up the lake to the then important former Hudsons Bay Post the fortified military and oldtime of whose early history cluster so many incidents of the de votion heroism and sacrifice that in a martyrdom of the early intteped Fathers at the hands the savages at a spot where la or even himself may have pitched camp in the days of the French regime Torou tomans want the anchor be cause they think they have a quit claim deed of everything that is not nailed down They would have it down to the City Hall square or the Exhibition Grounds and probably paint it red or use it for a tie post for the largest bear at River side Zoo and in their care the his toric interest of the old anchor would be about as interesting as though the citizens of Manitoba should claim and transfer to a place in front of the Winnipeg City Hall the that marks the where Sir Isaac Brock on the siac of the Heights at If Toronto really wants an anchor The Poisons or Bertrams ceuld man ufacture ttern one vaster than has been and that would be made in keening with her style couple of generations ago their waterfront in the vicinity of the Old Fort contain ed a wealth of historic shotmarked buildings the gateway of the Fort the old guns mounted and tbe origin al stockade with a military grave yard hard by containing numerous stones that bore the of dead heroes as well as tbe family names of honored ones in the British ago see how recklessly they have allowed their heritage of historv to decav under the ruthless grip of com mercialism the rigors of the famine or through the unpunish ed vandalism of the lawless or tramps who smashed to pieces even the marble tomb stones of the military heroes until now in their sudden desire to found a museum of pioneer relics they would fain steal from the people in the country some representatives of whom they think palliate at County Council time by free admission to their show a cigar from the box in the Mayors office or a bunch or streetcar tickets The anchor after being rescued from its grave in the sand and having been stopped In flight to the junk shop Was wisely planted by Holland Landing in their shady some thirtyfive years ago and possession is nine ioints of law may possibly so remain As was frankly admitted by the Toronto Star an anchor even its immense size be of no specially striking interest in the shore park of a lakeside city but to find one of such size ap parently carelessly dropped at a point so far inland in the Province of Ontario is a conundrum that inter- cits all strangers that happen that way If our York pioneers or some of the members of the Canadian Insti tute should take a trip up to the St Albans vicinity they might sttU find some faint indications of history that they least thought of and which would assure them that they could provide no more appropriate historyplace for the evidence of the might of navy than park at Holland Landing some rods to the east ot which is a crowning spot on tho Wright farm commanding a splen did panoramic view of the surround ing and a clear view of the windings of the Holland River to the north On this point some time in the eighteenth century a Fort stood said to have been a French Fort and trading post for tbe Indians from laea beyond to come with their furs tor As of former military oc cupancy in this vicinity Mr Alex Mulr the most ardent antiquarian that has of late years explored these picked tip on this wight home years ago a military made of copper Whether it bore an inscription either in French or English we cannot say but about that period whilst ploughing on the knoll the owner of the farm unearthed the remains of an officer who had been buried in his full uni form parts of which were from the extremely dry sandy nature the soil remarkably well preserved And the uniform was pronounced at thaCi time to be French To revert to the anchor again Wo be wrong in surmising that oxen were used as is the general impres sion to draw it up from York in As the Mr Titus Wil son a most observant person in conversation on the subject once made the remark They may say that the anchor was drawn up from York by oxen but I know better as teams of horses were used for I myself saw the contractors engaged in the haul ing of it and other stores This contention seems probable for whilst the settlers of tbat parly would rely on oxteams lor such heavy work the contractors who would be employed military stores would undoubtedly hail from the less primi tive York itself if indeed they themselves were not a detachment of military men The stores that for some few years after were piled on the banks of the Holland and in the log building that stood in that vicinity would indicate the presence of such men a detachment of Royal Engineers were the guiding head of the transport who in times of trouble when expedition was re quired would te most likely to em ploy Exactly how it was brought there is not point But is the anchor likely to stay there We think pretty nearly so Out if it is to removed in this town announce most as the rivals of Toronto for its future and good custody and ran as sure our avaricious city friends that there are sufficient scions of the old pioneers of antibeUum days living- right in this town who if needs be upon the hearty assistance and influence of both Postmaster- General and the Minister Crown Lands to forever keep the relic where it now is or if approved a bettor or more appropriate location far seeing that it has already been moved back miles from the river side where the British Government abandoned it who could suggest thai that which Newmarket could Just iiy miles further south on the banks of the same Holland River we could with acclaim give it unques tionably a place of due prominence beside our South African monument in plain view from both trolley and railways at a
