From Hull It Was an American Who Started Canada’s Queenly Capital. BY GAEL RENFREW. S ALL Canada goes to the polls tomorrow the attention of the political world naturally turns to Ottawa, the queenly little capital on the river whose Indian name it has borrowed. It needs no election, however, to arouse American intercst in Ottawa, for the first sod of the Canadian, capital was turned Dy an enterpr#sing American cousin. The history of the Canadian capi- | tal must be traced from the settle- the storied lumber town on the Quebec side of the river which separates Ontario from Quebec as the Potomac divides Maryland and Virginia. It was a Massachusetts man, Phile- mon Wright, from Woburn, who in 1800 led a small colony of settlers into what is now the town of Hull, and from this point developed the lumber industry that has made the region world renowned. A determined and adventurous spirit, Wright is first heard of in Montreal in 1796, whither he had been guided by his sure Yankee sense of thrift to inquire about the land then | being offered for settlement in lower Canada. According to his own statements he visited Canada in 1797, 1798 and 1799. So graphic was his description of the | new country that a number of his! New England neighbors decided to ! throw in their lot with him, and on | February 2. 1800, five families and 25 men set out from Woburn in Wright's party, taking “mill irons, axes, scythes, SPAIN OBSERVES DAY THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHIM GTON, She is Robert A.

By 1804 he | had built a blacksmith's shop, shoe- | maker's shop, “taylor’s” shop and large | bake house. He had also commenced a tannery, having obtained from New York a cylinder for the grinding of bark. In 1806 he was able to realize his dream of floating the first square | raft of timber down the Ottawa, there- by inaugurating the industry that has made the Ottawa known to all the world. | Spark’s direct contribution to the founding of Ottawa dates from 1826 and the building of the Rideau Canal. | In the five years that it took to finish | the canal, a settlement of workers and tradespeople grew up around what had been the farm of Nicholas Sparks, ‘one of Wright's men, and was named Bytown after Col. John By, who had charge of the building operations. In 1854 the town was incorporated under the liquid Indian name of the river that is perhaps Canada's most historic waterway, and since the days of Ghamplain it has been the route by which priest and trader has reached the heart of the new continent. | Savannah Imports Boom.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, October 12— Spokesmen for the cotton belt .today added new testimonials to the success of the Government's acreage-reduction program in curing the economic ail- ments of the cotton producer as the Agricultural Adjustment Administra- tion’s public inquiry into Southern sentiment was concluded. The cure, however, some witnesses asserted, has not extended to the ten- ant farmer and share-cropper, labeled by their spokesmen “the forgotten men” of the New Deal. As it now operates, said H. C. Nixon, professor of political science at Tulane University, New Orleans, and a planter llJohn PA D. ©C, in Alabama, the A. A. A. program is the “landlord’s code.” Attacking absentee ownership as the main source of labor difficulties in the South, Prof. Nixon said he favored continuance of the A. A. A. program with more benefits to be share- cropper, “If we degrade any section of, the population,” he declared, “we put a chain on every section of it. Share- croppers do pay taxes, because some of mine have gone barefoot so I could pay the taxes.” Farmers’ Union, who announced ycs- terday that they would address the hearing in behalf of the share-croppers of Eastern Arkansas, did not put in an appearance today. Cully A. Cobb, head of the cotton | section of the A. A, A., while not dis- cussing the merits of the plea for the share cropper, said that he would :ee that provisions of next year’s A. A. A. contracts are enforced to the letter. It is the intention, he said, to see the contracts are fair and equitable.
