p.8 War On The Rideau - There is vigorous steamboat opposition on the Rideau these beautiful autumn days. When the steamer Stranger, of Smith's Falls, showed herself on the route between there and Kingston, Captain Noonan, of the Rideau Lakes Navigation company, prepared to fight the boat that encroached upon a route he has controlled for years. The steamer Rideau Queen was scheduled to go into fall quarters, but she is being continued on the route to Smith's Falls. Both passenger and freight rates have been cut, and it will be a case of survival of the fittest.

Capt. Noonan's Birthday - general manager of Rideau Lakes Navigation company is 53.
