Keenora replaces Rat Portage name in Ontario
The Ontario Government renamed Rat Portage as Keenora last week, blending Keewatin Norman and Rat Portage. Local notes report travel and development, including rail service, land cultivation, church improvements funded by Joseph Barker, and Bell Telephone line work from Treherne toward Winnipeg. A man named Jas Manion had remaining fingers amputated after a prior threshing injury, and a banking crew works on the telegraph line east of Treherne.
