: NOTE AND COMMENT ¢

Weececeeszacceceec 3333aace

It is strange, after the two parties at Ottawa have come toa perfect agreement as to what Canada’s pol- icy in regard to imperial defence should be, that various organiza- tions, more or less representative of the opinion of their different com- munities, should keep up an agita- tion for other measures than those that are proposed. One of *the latest to passa resolution on the subject is the Edmonton Canadian Club, which went on record last Saturday evening. The action of the House of Commons was approv- ed but this rider was attached: ~ “And, in addition to this, as a fitting inauguration of Canada’s participation in Imperial naval defence, and from considerations of high strategy—giving notice to the

world at large of the solidarity of,

the empire—that Canada do now of- fer to the British navy a battleship of the ‘Dreadnought’ type.”

The Canadian Club was poorly ad- vised whenit passed the above. Such action on the part of Canada would becontrary tothe whole spirit of Canadian development and fly in the face of the opinions of all who have had todeal at first hand) with the problems involved and have given them the study and thought that they require. We have to recognize that in Canada we are gathering together from all parts of the world the elements of a great nation und if we are to make the most of our task we must con- sider the position of fellow-citizens to whom the claims of imperialism do not make the same appeal as they do to those of us who have sung ‘‘Rule Brittannia’’ from our earliest days, But leaving all this aside, we find that this rider of the Canadian Club's resolution is oppos- ed to the ideas of the most thorough- going and at the same time thought- ful imperialists. Was not there just a large proportion of loyal sons of the Empire among the mem- bers of the House of Commons when they passed their unanimous reso- lution last week as there was among the members uf the Canadian Club?

The difference is that one was a responsible and the other largely an irresponsible body. To the Satur- day News the specches delivered by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr, Foster in the debate in question on the ne- cessity of keeping the control of all Canadian expenditure in the hands of a Canadian parliament were abso- lutely convincing. But if these gentlemen are not strong enough imperialists to satisfy our local friends, take the opinion of a Can- adian,who has for forty years in sea- son and out of season used his voice and his pento strengthen the im- perial connection.

‘it is known that from the out- set,’’ Sir Charles Tupper declared recently, ‘‘I have felt the interests of Canada and the true interests of the ISmpire to be opposed to the de- mand for colonial contributions to the Imperial navy and I maintain that Canada has discharged — that duty in) a manner most conducive to the imperial interests.’’

Or take British Imperialist opinion. Can anyone more representative of the movement in its latter-day phases be found than Lord Milner. Here is what that great pro-consul said before the Canadian Club at Toronto last autumn.

“T have never been a great advo- cate of contributions from the self- governing states to the army and navy of the United Kingdom, I am sure that the form which Imperial co-operation in this field will ultim- ately take, and ought to take, the form at once most consistent with the dignity of the individual states and most conducive to their collec- tive strength and organic union is the development of their several

defensive resources in material and manhood.”

As for the imperialistic press, the London Times is most emphatic.

‘The best use to which the wel- come naval co-operation now offered by the Dominions,’’ it declares, ‘can be applied is toward streng- thening the defences, each in its own quarter. World co-operation in that manner will prove the truest form of co-operation in the end.”

In the face of all * this doesn’t the zeal of some of our Canadian Clubs and Boards of Trade appear mis- guided? There are too many _ at- tempts to settle the stupendous prob- lems of the Empire in the spirit of “Hurrah! boys, make it unanim- ous.’’ To those who indulge in the latter, we would eommend another extract from Lord Milner's speech at Toronto.

“There is nothing so odious as eant, and this isa subjeet on which itis particularly easy to seem to be jcanting. Not that | am afraid of | falling into a strain of boastfulness. ;The last thing which the thought

sire to hoast—to wave a flag. or to ‘shout ‘Rule Britannia.’ When | | think of it, Lam more inclined to go {into a corner by myself and pray.”’

The coal miners’ strike in Southern Alberta appears to be about to come ‘to an untimely end.

Sherman, who was responsible for

troubles. The international charac- jected to as a source of disturbance. In this case it has had the reverse effect. It is evident that the Lem- icux Act was violated by the union officials who called onthe strike. They should be prosecuted without delay. That bit of legislation is a great instrument for preserving in- dustrial peace but must be enforced strictly against employer and em- ploye alike.

Rumors are afloat that there will be additions to the Alberta cabinet at an early dute. So persistent are

they that in one case at least it looks as if an industrious press agent is at work. The Saturday News has no idea how much foundation any of these reports have but is emphatic- ally of the opinion that the Govern- ment would be very uwnise to make any of the moves suggested. The Cabinet is large enough for prac- tical purposes and there are few private members of the Legislature who have yet shown exceptional qualifications for advancement.

The proposal to tax “‘irreclaimable bachelors’’ in Maine and other States of the Union in order to pro- vide penisons for old maids has aroused much interest in England, where the subject of a State impost on celibacy is revived every year as budget day draws near. This year Mr. Lloyd-George, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is faced, mainly on account of old age pensions, with the task of raising a great amount of money by means of fresh taxation, and married men hope that their single brethren will be called upon to bear the greater part of the bur- den. In Alberta where the number of bachelors is larger than it should be in a new country and the burden on married men_ is_ particularly heavy, such a tax would be only just. There is too great a tendency to joke over the question. It should be seriously discussed.

George Bernard Shaw, whose views on the matter have been sought, puts the matter thus:

“As a man gets higher wages than

1a woman on the ground that he has

to support her while she is bearing children to the country and doing the domestic work incidental to that function two difficulties arise: 1. A bachelor is paid to keep a wife and does not do it. 2. A widow has to bring up children and gets only the wages of a single woman or of a girl living partly with and partly on her parents.

“There is "therefore no theoretic objection to State taxation of celi- bacy and State support of widows. The practical objection is that the man’s wages are not really enough for two and not always enough for one.”

A. G. Hales, the well-known jour- nalist, is strongly of opinion that every bachelor over the age of 25 should be specially taxed according to his income.

“Bachelors of mature years,”’ he says, ‘‘are of no use tu any country and are usually a curse to society. They should be taxed into matrimony or out of the country.”

Sir,- That our hospital policy | should secure the greatest good of | the greatest number of the inter- ests involved is surely a proper touchstone with which to test the | merits of any proposal regarding

this important public utility. This is not too broad a basis on which to expect Edmontonians to rest |

their opinion.

It may safely be said that the Union plan in its general form now

citizens; but it has got to be em- phatically insisted that the details

preserve its intergity and to secure in full the advantages which it alone offers.

To ensure this whole-hearted sup- port the general public must under- stand clearly the reason for it, and | wish this week to state briefly what appears to me thos? reasons which singly and collectively are or should be the determining factors in this whole question,

To avoid misunderstanding I shall outline the Union scheme. By it Idmonton and Strathcona public hospitals and the University would merge their hospital interests. Two sites would be necessary, one cen- tral in Edmonton and one near the University. On the former a build- ing would at once be constructed to meet the unfilled needs for three or four years or until the high level hospital is completed. This hos- pital will then be continued partly as a general and partly as an cmer- gency. On the University site a building could be begun at once or in time to be ready as soon as the bridge makes it available to Id- monton. In it future expanding needs would be met and the large ultimate hospital would have ideal surroundings and other require- ments. Commercial interests will sooncr or later inevitably render the surroundings of any central site in Edmonton undesirable and = un- suitable for a large — hospital. Details 28 to plans, provisions for Strathcona needs meanwhile, make- up of the Union board, ete., etc., could be easily worked out. The great need at present is to have harmonious and immediate action so that nothing will be saerifieed or lost for the future.

The interests which are most intimately bound up ina public hos- pital are those of: 1, the patients; 2, The hospital supporters; 3, the medical profession; 4, the nursing profession; 5, the citizens, and 6, higher education, These interests are really inseparable; but for the purposes of discussion I must take them separately, pointing out that any argument for one of them is an argument for all the others too.

1. To the patients the union plan offers the best hospital not merely in ‘Northern Alberta’ (as some of our medical men mistakenly design- ate this part of the country) but in all Western Canada—the best hos- pital which can be erected out of all the fabundant available material and means. The patients are offered the possibility of modern scientific medical and surgical treatment un- der an unexcelled staff of nurses and internes (resident hospital physicians). ‘Ihe attending physi- cians have the means of making more certain diagnoses—and so! avoiding ‘‘experiments’’— and of applying methods of treatment not available outside of hospitals having well-equipped laboratories such as

; institution.

| people

can be provided here absolutely only by the Provincial University. Can our Hospital Board refuse these things to the sick whose heal- ing itis the first duty of such a

Board to provide for? Is it neces- sary to add a single argument for the immediate and full accept- ance of the union plan?

2. To the hospital supporters (taxpayers, patients, etc.) the union offers a hospital in the establish- ment and maintenance of which not only Greater Edmonton (including Strathcona) will contribute, but also the Provincial Government by reason of the educational character of the Does not this mean that we will have the better hospi- tal at a lower cost, and will anyone seriously deny that financially the Union hospital scheme is the best possible proposition? What would be said of the wisdom—_ financial and other—of our citizens if they countenanced a proposal to build too low level bridges across the river side by side, one for Edmonton und one for Strathcona people, at the same cost as a high level bridge for everybody? Do we want two low level nospitals or will we join hands for a high level hos- pital? Or must the new species of “‘old-timer’’ still be allowed to in- dulge the vaunted ‘‘Western right to make mistakes if so inclined!’’ No. a thousand times NO. We have no right to place an avoidable and monstrous mistake on the fair page of Edmonton's proud history.

3. In the Union hospital the medi- cal men of thiscommunity are of- ered the opportunity of giving their patients the advantages of twentieth century medicine and surgery. Is nct this the birthright of hospital patients to-day, and can our medical men for one moment deny this boon to the sick of our city? For them- selves the doctors are offered the assistance of hospital internes and a splendid staff of nurses. The med- ical man who is desirous of doing his best and of developing his full ability and special talents, perhaps.

even contributing to"the advance of |

medical and surgical science, has here a chance to be found nowhere I might say this side of Toronto. He may if he chooses, fit himself for participation in the founding and conducting of a scientific medi- cal school,

Just here let me recal! the falla- cious arguments which have been used —let us hope only in ignorance —in an attempt to arouse the jeal- ousy of our medical men against ‘‘a staff of doctors who would be brought in from large centres for the professional staff at Strathcona.” As a matter of fact whatever doctors of this city chose would be members of the attending staff of physicians and surgeons and the interne staff would be under their control and supervision, aiding and not compet- ing with our city men. And witha medical college of our own we would not need to go elsewhere for the in- ternes.

4. A most indispensable part of a hospital is{the staff of nurses and their interests must be safe-guarded most carefully. The character of a hospital depends probably more largely on the ability and quality of the nurses than on any other single factor. In the union hospital the nurse would have the advantage of a larger hospital and all that that means in excellence of nursing staff, internes, more variety of cases, ete., etc. Asapart of the educational system much attention could be devoted to organizing and conduct- ing a training school for nurses.

This indeed justifies the Univer- sity in its offer to, participate in the Union hospital at’once and liberally. A course of instruction is now given at the City Public hospital, leading toa certificate of qualification as a trained nurse Could not this be undertaken much more efficiently asa partof the work of the Pro- vincia] educational system? And would not such a University Train- ing School for Nurses tend immeas. urably to the advancement of the nursing profession in this Province? A noble body of workers our nurses are, and I say aguin that we must provide wisely fer their future.

|ton is interested in seeing strong

institutions grow up in this vicinity, Will he not point with greater pride (Continued on page 4)

Two ladies, who had known each other in years gone by, met on the street. One of them, who had been married for some years, was pushing a baby carriage in which were fine triplets, all girls. The other lady had been in the bonds of matrimony a couple of weeks.

“What beautiful children!’’ ex- claimed the newly married one with much interest, after the two friends had exchanged greetings.

“Yes,” replied the proud mother, “and it was the funniest coinci- dence. At our wedding supper the boys who played with my husband in the orchestra serenaded him and played “lhree Little Maids,’ from ‘The Mikudo.’ Isn’t that queer?’’

“Crude Thoughts as they fall from the editorial pen’? is what the | Pincher Creek Echo cails an article lin which the following appears:

“We want girls of sense, girls who have a standard of their own, inde- ipendent of conventionalities, and are | brave enough to live up to it; girls who simply wont wear a_ trailing iskirt on the street because fashion dictates girls who will don what is pretty and becoming and snap their fingers at the edict of an ugly style.

“On February 2s,"" runs the ac- count, “our annual oyster roast was ‘held and which was well attended by ;members. Every man came with

his appetite and the crowd being of husky build full justice was done to ,the good things prepared. Talk ‘about eating oysters, you of the inland! Figure for yourselves what a feast of 1,000 bushels of fine ovs- ters would make, to which is added iten crates of celery and eight fifty pound boxes of crackers, besides 200 kegs of amber fluid commonly known jas beer, and after computing the aggregate weight of all then figure for yourselves what happened by the ‘time these 1,200 stalwarts got through with their job. Some of the most prominent men of Baltimore were present and they all declared they had the time of their lives at our annual oyster roast. The vis- itors from other cities were met at the depots by a committee and escorted to the Joyee Hotel, where they were treated to a Maryland spread, which consisted of planked

ters. It was in anticipation of be- ing treated to such a feast that Mr. John McCaffrey of Philadelphia brought his best appetite with him. Everybody will remember with pleasure our annual of 1909.”

" Mr. Harry Lauder, the Scotch humorist, has been giving incidents of his American tour to his friends at home. Among other stories he tells is this one:

‘‘My strangest audience was 1.000 lunatics at the asylum on Ward’s Island. I told them I would like to hear them all sing; those who didn’t know the words were to listen while the others sang the chorus of ‘I love a Lassie.’ When they had sang it three times [ told them they were the finest choir I'd heard in the United States. One patient took me aside and said, ‘For my sake don't make faces or do anything to make them think you’re a bit off, or they’l] keep you here!”’

pure amateurism becomes more firmly rooted.

| “It isn’t so long ago that around little old Montreal here we used to hear of the tens and twenties and twenty-fives being found by players in their boots or in their trousers pockets when they returned to the dressing rooms. It isn’t a matter of very ancient history either how some of these precious amateurs refused to walk out of the club- house without the way having been first lubricated with hard cash. The formation of the N.L.U. and the advent of the straight professional put a logical end to all that. Now the player gets his straight salary. If he sticks out for more, why that jis a matter between him and the (club executive, but he doesn't im- ‘pose on an innocent and unsuspecting: public any more by parading as an ‘amateur.

C. B. Fry, the well-known English cricketer, who, by the way, will play for Hampshire this year, has some interesting comparisons to make between cricket and baseball.

“It appears, for instanee,’’ he writes, ‘that ‘the baseball pitcher, | or, as we should say, bowler, is even more valuable than an inside for- ‘ward in association football. The price of George Wilson, late of Everton, said to be £1,600 ($8,000). | is nothing to what Rube Wardell (meaning Rube Waddell), or what- ever his exact name is, changes teams for --£3,000 ($15,000), odd. if ‘In America baseball combina- |tions are not called clubs but syndi- cates—which is at least frank. And these syndicates buv and sell their players even more freely than our football clubs do. A first cluss pitcher is above price.

‘All decent pitchers can make the ‘hall curl in the air most notable; there is the in curve which we should call in ericket the swerve from the off; the out curve, or swerve from | the left; and down curve, or ‘duck.’ ‘‘The baseball pitcher can compass ;much more exaggerated curves than ‘our bowlers, because they do not howl, but throw. The most remark- able point about the pitchers is that |they combine their swerve with extreme accuracy, for they send ‘every ball dead over a plate »bout a 'foet wide. At our bowling they are ino good. Some of them tried to bowl to the English cricketers and made no showing at all.

‘It is rather interesting to know that whereas in our cricket the prob- lem is to bring the batsman down to ithe level of the bowler. in baseball it is exactly opposite; if the strikers do not make enough runs, the pitcher is signally on top.

“Baseball plavers during the sea- son practice three hours a day with, as the French books say, assiduity. | They practice fielding with special care and trouble. The hands of the catcher (or wicket keeper) are incased in a species of inverted box- ing gloves, but seldom remain a season in shape that is recognizable as a hand. |

“For throwing practice they have} an ingenious contrivance. A_ string is stretched across a gymnasium about the height of an average = ear. On this runs a spool witha hole in it. | The player takes the spool in his hand a foot or so in front of his ear, and then fires it along the string. The point is to get out of the habit | of taking the hand far behind the | head in throwing, which loses time. Another point is to learn to flick the hand straight down the line of aim, for if the hand plays crooked the spool sratches at the string and refuses to fly along it. The idea! may be of some value to would-be Jessops. 1 should think the Glouc- estershire captain throws like a base-

Slowly the Hog Express, the Mixed, the Anything you Like, picked its way across the rather lonely stretch of land in the direction of Morinville. Outside was little to interest one, and I turned my atten- tion to the occupants of the special car bound on a visit to the Alberta Coal Mine.

Well there was a baby at any rate, and two women, whom in common vallantry | am bound to write added just the leaven or spice to the whole.

I was there, because once upon a time I had written an article en- titled ‘On the City Outskirts’? in which I had said, ‘Of a miner’s exis-

secretary of the Alberta Coal Co., had called me and said:

“Did you mean it?’’ and I had said “surely,”

To the dreariness of much shunt- ing and painfully slow progress we settled down to a discussion of ‘who had ever been down a mine and who hadn’t,’’ varied by glances out of the smoky window at few and far between shacks and farm dwellings, and upor the dull and dreary wastes of land that for the most part lav idly backing in the sun.

A few seats ahead a man was explaining the reason of the desola- tion.

“Farms held by speculators,’’ he snapped succintly, ‘‘no one’s going to be fuol enough to buy till things adjust themselves."

You know the menu before I tell yout juicy roast chicken, sweet ham, pickles, pumpkin pie and — poor coffee, served by avery pretty girl with asweet smile thrown in. We h dit in relays, the salle a manger only accommodating a limited number, and then we again boarded the car and proceeding to the june- tion drew up, by private spur, to the ;mouth of the mine. | Until we were actually there [had

thought but vaguely of how | should |

enjoy the experience. ‘Would one descend in little baskets? would) the water drip, drip on one’s velvet bonnet? should we be arrayed in oil-skins, and wear little lamps in our chapeaux?”

Almost I began to feel spookish |

»when Mr. Montgomery ended all surmisings by handing us out some lordinary larye lanterns, and candles }to others when these had been ex- | hausted, and the trip of inspection | began.

' The Alberta Coal Co.'s property lies four miles south-east of Morin- ville, not far from the Sturgeon

River, and consists of a half section |

jof land, or 820 acres in the very ‘heart of the (Sturgeon River coal vein,

| The land was purchased indirectly from the C. P. R. and as it is estim- ated that there are six million tons _of coal on the property, this means i that there is a saving in royalty from having purchased from the railroad |of two hundred thousand dollars /alone.

The :oal lies in two veins, one | forty feet below the surface, and lranging from six to fifteen feet in | thickness, and the second two hun-

Master Arthur Edward Phillips of Seventh Street Aged 3 months

dred feet below, and of a six foot depth.

Before descending the shaft we were taken on a tour of inspection of the plant above ground,

This consists in the main of an electric plant of 125 horse power, which manufactures the lights for the entire concern as well as furn- ishing the power for the Morgan- Gradiner electric saw. a complete blacksmith’s shop, powder magazine, the offices, boiler house, and men’s bunk house.

To show what enterprise is going into the development of this mine, one of my guides, who was inciden- tally in no wise connected with the company, pointed out the small boiler used until recently and the giant one alongside that has taken its place and which furnishes the steam power for the double drum |steam hoist used for pulling the rail- jroad cars, and nauling the coal in the smaller cars from the mine.

Presently when everyone had ex- plored the mysteries of the Steam hoists etc., ete., the word was passed that the party would now 'decend, and the next moment the first man stepped into the shaft. Almost before | knew jit I) was in the midst mysalf of an almost im- | penetrable gloom, stepping gingerly ;and with skirts lifted high, down, down, down, into what at first was absolute chaos. Below me | could feel my rubbers striking against a slippery surface, and occasionally became conscious that I was getting entangled in some sort of a steel) track. Far, far ahead I beheld the occasional glimmer of a tiny light— that was all.

But presently my eyes growing accustomed to the blackness, and

|other at arm’s length

;grunts as they heave some heavy | ‘object to and fro,

[encouraged by the voice of the kind- fest of friends, and information 'bureaus, I began to peer about me. We had now reached the level of the turnout and found ourselves in a passage 10 feet high by about 12 feet wide. All about us, walls, ceil- ing, floor, was a tunnel of solid coal, hke nothing in the world but a room formed of soft dull jet, magnificent in its gloom and dignity. The sen- sation of walking on an oozy sub- ; stance had vanished completely, and | looking down I saw that the ground / was perfectly dry, had been since we had entered the drift proper. | On my remarking with astonish- | iment on this fact. having heard that | mires were not noted for this quality | jand the Spring of the year making ‘it extremely probable that they would now be, if at any time, suffer- ing from moisture, my pilot ex- plained that at one time this ident ical mine was unusually damp, that it was half of the time as a matter of fact partly submerged in’ water, until a certain point in its develop- ment, that is its lowest point was reached, when a huge pump or well | was dug, and the water was thus | drained off. At the present time the | mine is without doubt the dryest one to he found anywhere in’ the) Pro- vinee, and was a veritable eye-opener to everyone in the party in this, as ‘in other respects. | And now as objects began to” take

in advance of me, the Rev. Dr. Queen, Mr. Kirkpatrick ¢Mr. Pardee, | Mr. Cnas. May, and other familiar forms softly silhouetted in the flick- ering candle light. One by one they /marched, each bearing a_ lighted | taper, and suggesting for all the | world a little procession of acolytes. |The ridiculousness of Mr. May with | his virignal candle | cannot describe, lalso the fleeting glimpses of the | faces of the others will they ever jagain look as boyisn, as full of ad-| venture! | doubt it.

But all this time you must know we were walking bolt upright, quite as if we were in any ordinary room, through a finely-timbered passage, going on and on past’ myriad cross drifts or cuts, f-om whose far distant depths came the sound of picks, or a ghostly will-o’-the-wisp flash of light until after seemingly miles of walk- ing we came within sight and hear- ing of what had been desreibed to us as one of the objective points of interest, the Morgan-Gardiner mach- ine or electric saw, which operates on the face of the coal very much as a dentist's drill does in preparing a tooth.

Gaining a point of vantage right alongside the machine I had a splen- did opportunity to see how it accom- plished its work,

As far as the eye of a woman could guage its operations, it seemed to consist of an endless chain, inset with picks or teeth, one turning out and the next in. Being adjusted tu the face of the coal. on ground floor so to speak, this saw speedily and steadily undermines a space or wedge six inches high and six feet deep, after which three drills are made in the face of the coal in the shape of a triangle, the single point atthe bottom. In this is placed what is known as a quick shot of dynamite, with two slow shots at the two upper corners. As_ the lower shot explodes first it forees down a ledge of coal into the six inch space made by the Morgan- Gardiner, thus leaving a good space fur the upper shots to operate upon.

The Morgan-Gardiner’s — great claims then over the ordinary blast- ing of the face of the coal, are the speediness with which it: works, and the fact that it breaks the coal into large chunks and does not crush it as under the old method. The machine isrun by electricity and is readily adjustable, being easily moved on a

truck platform wherever required. porine

After the blasting has been done men with picks and shovels complete the work. The roof and sides are timbered and the machine and the little gang push on once more.

As we stood mastering all these points in the gentle art of coal-min- ing, from the distance came the dull boom of blasting operations, carried oninsome of the cross drifts. To many it was the signal to start on the return trip. leaving the rest of us free to further explore some of the mazes of these underground tun-

will some day regret having so put themselves on record? A medical college can not be originated ina day. It takes years of right en- deavor and real work before a modern scientific medical school in a

new country can open its doors to students. We can not begin pre- partions too soon. Unless we in-

tend to import a whole medical faculty we should avail ourselves of this opportunity to place at the dis- posal of our medical men_ those facilities for doing work that will qualify them for places on the staff of a self-respecting medical faculty.

With a hospital available the Uni- versity would at once | believe,

that work (to include the training of medical students). We must lvok to the welfare of our University and foster its growth at every oppor- tunity if we are to see it flourish and become that great asset to the Province for which it eontains the potentiality.

Instead of making personal attacks on our University president—-for such in essence is much of the oppo- sition raised to the high level hospi- tal—we should see to it that his toresight is commended, his hands strengthened and his efforts loyally supported. Is it not his plain and simple duty to endeavor to develop the University as wisely, quickly and fully as possible, and would he be otherwise worthy of his high pusi- tion? His personal interests are identified with those of the Univer- ‘sity, and we must not be misled by those who would have us see only self-interest and self-aggrandize- ment in his ofticial efforts to promote the welfare of the University. He ig in these matters not to be thought of‘as ‘‘Dr. Tory,’’ but as the ‘‘Presi- dent of the University of Alberta.’”’

Saskatchewan and Alberta have opportunities which were open to none of our older Provinces and it will be our lasting discredit if we even fail to recugnize them, and our well-merited ever-lasting disgrace if recognizing them we plainly re- fusc to grasp them entire.

Inthe present hospital situation we are facing one of the rarest and happiest opportunities that will ever come to the West. Citizens of Ed- monton, shall it pass unrealized or realized only in a crippled form because of sectional prejudice— which despite strenuous denial will not down—and because ‘'the con- venience of location for doctors and others should be considered first of all, and doctors would object to at- tend patients on the University site?’’ (See Tuesday Evening’s Journal interview with medical petitioner), Is this the measure of our medical men when personal con- venience is in chvice with all the considerations offered by thezhigh level hospital?

Parents who wisely wish to have good educational facilities for their

sons and daughters @within (easy reach, and fall fothers who directly or indirectly Freap the benefit of

higher education should know that

undertake the {medical education of nurses, and it would also begin pre- parations for a medical — school. Before this latter can be ready we we shall have a million Albertans. Ontario, with some 2,200,000 people has three medical schools and over 1000 medical students.

Dr. Osler, regius professor of medicine in Oxford University, the eminent Canadian who has shed such luster in our country, writes from Paris under date Jan. 15, 1909: “One advantage the French med- ical student has over) all others. To the hospitals of Great Britain and Germany the medical student is admitted asa right; in the U.S. he is too often only tolerated and not always admitted to the wards. In Paris the hospital is his home.” This from the man who has done more than any other man to place medical education on the high plane it occupies ina few places on this side of theffAtlantic! In the same letter he states: ‘It is fully recog- nized in Paris that you can not sep- arate the interests of! the medical school from those of the hospital, nor either from the interests of the public.”” In other words it is Os- ier’s belief that the best interests of the public are served only by the union of hospital and medical school. Could Osler send a clearer message to our Hospital Board? I find that the advantages of the high level hos- pital have already exceeded my in- tended space and I must leave to next week a word of suggestion as to meeting the present and keeping the future.

Yours truly, Edmonscona.

Calgary has again distinguished itself this week by holding one of the most succesful horse shows ever conducted in Canada. The Saturday : News has had a staff representative in the Southern city all week and an extended notice of the event will appear in the next issue.

At the Empire Next Week.

By far the strongest bill that has ever been offered to the theatre- goers of Edmonton is being pre- sisented at the Empire this week, but from advance notices of the bill for next week, it would appear that next. week’s programme will be equally as attractive, if not more so. The headline attraction is a novelty musical act, the Three Masqueria Sisters. They are charming singers and dancers, as weil as being excep- tionally good instrumentalists. Their costumes are dainty, and their f|act is a most enjovable one from start to finish. Others on the pro- gramme are: The Davises, Amer ica’s greatest fancy shots. Ed. Dolan, an_ eccentric comedian: Kolb and Miler, German comedians; Martelle and Fellows, dramatic sketch ‘artists, and a team of comedy acrobats, Reno and Azora. Arthur Graham will render ‘‘The Girl from the Golden West,”’ while the kineto- scope showing a new series of inter- esting and instructive motion pee will complete an all star

ill.

The increasing attendance at the Empire proves conclusively that the management are pleasing every- body, and the foregoing bill will undoubtedly prove as big a drawing card as the present week, which is saying quite a bit.

“T don’t like to have to do either,’ said Mr. Bungleby, ‘‘but it looks now as if I’d have to keep my mouth shut or go to a pronounc- ing school because my two amiable daughters object to my mispro- nouncing words when I speak.

“When we were poorer, a great deal poorer, and that wasn’t such a terrible long time ago, I used to be permitted to pronounce words about as I wanted to and nobody objected; and that was a great comfort to me because I never was very much on the pronounce and | always like to be free anyway; but it’s all very differ- ent as things are now.

The shades and the curtains must always be arranged in a_ precise certain manner and the buoks and_ bric-a- brac must always be just where they belong.

“Our table has always got to be fixed up just so prim and there must always be flowers in the middle, and we must always eat in just the cor- rect manner; and we must always wear good clothes, and there’s u whole lot of things that we have to do now that I never thought of |- before; and my two amiable daugh- ters fit into this seheme elegant, do you know? yes, sir, elegant, just as if they never lived any other way; and I get along with a good deal of it all right too, but I can’t, actually can’t shuck off -my old ways of pronouncing, and that gives my daughters a lot of trouble.

“We'll have in some visitors maybe, and we’ll all be talking along, and the first thing you know Isee my two daughters looking at me, and then I know I’ve broken some poor word’s back or lopped off some of it or got it twisted around some way, and then after the folks have gone they say to me:

“Fathe., don’t you know how to pronounce so and so? They tell me it’s ‘so and so,’ and I try to remem- ber it, though the way they tell it to me seems very strange.

The attack of the Nanton choir was also very good, but was not sus- tained, their second soprano got a little out of tune in the passage ‘The maker of Heaven and Earth,’ and were down in pitch at the end. Their tone was as good as High River. but if this piece was judged on points, then High River should have won, and with a good margin. The prize was divided each getting a shield.”’

Remember it is a High River critic Iam quoting Would he have dared to tell a High River second soprano she got out of tune? However, he wasn’t afraid of the High River male competitors as witness the following: “Tenor solo, only one competitor Rev. C. H. Peck, of High River, the principal sulo was the Recitative and Aria, ‘Ye people will rend your hearts’ and ‘If with all your hearts’ | frum the Elijah. A very commend- | able rendering of this very difficult piece was marred by two conspicuous errors in pronunciation and if there had been other competitors he would have lost points.

The judges were Madame Fllis- Browne, Calgary, Miss Webster, Edmonton, and Mr. Watson, Calgary all of whom are said to have per- -| formed their very trying duties ina very competent manner.

Perils of a Simple Diet.

account of the intangible qualities of taste and odor which have escaped the notice of our new physiologists. It has often been said that the aleoholic tendencies of suldiers and sailors of former times were an expression of depraved nervous sys- tems due to plain, tasteless, unvary- ing foods. This may be true, for alcoholism isa sign of nervous de- pression. Since the diet of these men has been greatly improved by the addition of ‘luxuries,’ drunken- ness has been enormously reduced.”’ The adulteration of condiments and flavors thus assumes an entirely new aspect. Our pure food laws most wisely included them, but perhaps mostly to prevent fraud. Yet there is urgent need for inspection and control of all such articles, includ- ing those generally considered lux- uries, but which may be necessities

whose impurity injures public health. Attention has often been

called to the fraud by which two cents’ worth of apple sauce is col- ored, flavored, and putin a fancy jar and sold for fifty cents. It is generally assumed that the fraud was not inimical to health, but the buyer does not get what he needs.— Current Literature. en

The Wraith of the Trail.

From the Denver Republican.

There’s a grass grown trail near the shining rail where the trains go whizzing by—

Where the smoke from the overland fast express is spread like a veil in the sky;

It’s the trail where the stage went rumbling through in the days of the real frontier;

But where is the driver who braved the path and whose stout heart knew no fear?

’Twas a perilous trip that the prairie ship made across the high, brown plains,

But has any one ever heard men tell of a coward who held the reins?

There are plenty of tales of heroes’ work and of passengers saved from death,

But when did a driver ever quail in the fiercest blizzard’s breath?

So go to the trail when the stars are pale and ‘tis scarce an hour till

dawn.

And you ‘ll see a ghostly stage flit past, by four ghost horses drawn;

And high on the box sits the ghost of a man, and he throws you an eerie hai]—

It is thus that the stage goes by to- day on the grass grown overland trail. Arthur Chapman.

There has been a heavy demand for seats for the Marie Hall recital in the Opera House on Friday night. Evidently there are a great many people in -Edmonton who realize that we get too few good things here, and who do not wish to miss this unusual treat.

Where is the Spot

An old Spanish pro- verb states—‘* The ac- quiring of wealth de- pends not on industry or saving, but in being at the right spot at the right time."” Why not in Santa Rosa, that high-class subdivision lying across the street west of the Swift Com- pany Packing Plant adjoining the city on the east? City water, electricity, telephones, sewers, street railway this summer, and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway nearing com- pletion along the north. Do you realize that nearly 300 employees are demanding homes near this plant; that over 2800 head of cattle alone, not including the number of hogs and sheep, have been killed and dressed there in one week ; that the capacity of this plant will be increased just as soon as the avail- able supply of cattle, hogs, and sheep in- creases in this territory; that this is bound to result in a city of thou- sands adjacent to this great plant, as is the case in every other packing’ center on the continent 2? Saturday morning we start the sale of choice Santa Rosa lots at $200 and up on easy terms of $10 cash and $10 per month continuing the sale only until this allotment is sold, at which time prices will be materially increased. This advance of prices in this locality in the near future is sure to confirm our judgment that Santa Rosa is the right spot.

“‘No, he didn’t miss the sunlight as one would imagine he might. For twenty minutes after entering the mine in the morning, every miner goes blind and then he sees as clearly as by daylight. There are not the excessive changes in the weather to be borne under, as above, ground, the mine being compartively warm in winter and cool in summer. No, he never anticipated danger, he was satisfied, absolutely.”’

Arrived at the entrance to the shaft I had time and better oppor- tunity to discuss ventilation and other points and proposed improve- ments.

The system of providing pure air

or air shafts sunk inthe ground at certain intervals. At the foot of these shafts stoves are placed and the air is heated and carried off pre-

1 cisely on the plan which all chimneys

| the foul air up the flue, and so away.

The circulation of the air through the many passaged drifts is a harder

| matter, but is done by bratticing or

closing cross-cuts not being operated for the time being,

along the main drift to the points left open for its entry and circula- tion. At the present moment al- though the Alberta Coal Co. may be said to have only begun the develop- ment of its magnificent resources— there are half a mile of permanent drifts, well timbered and laid with steel tracks. The main drift is used for the loaded cars but provision has been made for a double track oner- ated on the gravity system, whereby the track to the right ‘will be used for empties, the one on the left for loaded cars. Under the present'sys- tem horses take the loaded cars to the foot of the slope where they are hitched to a wire cable, being drawn up to the tipple, then screened and dumped.

Among other contemplated im-

| provements are a motor for pulling

cars in the mine, thus doing away with horses altogether, an electric box-car loader, and an independent electric pump which will be situated at the south of the property. screening and weighing plant, with asteel tipple, shaker screens and hanging scales are already en the ground ready to be installed, which are intended to be used ultimately for preparng coal for the retail market.

This Coal Company ‘are fortunate enough to possess a private spur line on the C. N. R., which forms a half- circle, the loaded cars passing out to the west while the empties draw in at the east.

Questioning Mr. Montgomery, I learned that the capacity of the out- put per day on an eight hour shift is one hundred tons, between forty and fifty men being employed.

As the secretary went on to ex- plain, in time as development takes place this can be greatly increased. ‘*We have only fairly begun to oper- ate,’’ continued my informant, ‘‘but the possibilities of even the present property areSlimitless.”’

Undoubtedly the great future of this country lies in its coal mining industry, and Edmonton, situated as it is, in a magnificent stretch of coal country should, before long, take its place as one of the greatest manu- facturing centres on the continent. Manufacturers have the coal at their very door and one of the chief items of factory expense is cut to a minimum as a result.

With such an example as the Al- berta Coal Co. has shown in insisting on only the most up-to-date and thor- oughly tested equipment, the pro- mise of a rosy future for this great industry in Alberta looks exceed- ingly bright.

Going home the occupants of the private car were loud in their praise of the day’s outing and the fine ex- perience it had afforded them, senti- ments which were admirably voiced by the Rev. Dr. McQueen, seconded by Mr. Chas. May and carried amid most enthusiastic applause, as well as a very hearty vote of thanks, which was tendered to Mr. George S. Montgomery its organizer, whom all declared the best of jolly good fellows. (believe the officers of this most progressive company are: Mr. J. L. Bell, president; Mr. W. L. Carter. vice-president, and Mr. George Montgomery, its very capable secretary.

Mrs. N. D. Beck left on Tuesday of last week for Richmond Hill, Ontario, in response toa _ telegram stating that her mother, Mrs. Teefy. who has since died, was seriously ill. Sincere sympathy will be extended to Mrs. Beck.

Mr. Creighton left on Saturday to accompany his famil y to the coast, where they will remain during the summer, Mr. Creighton however returning to the Capital almost immediately.

Mrs. Scoble returned to town on Thursday after a most enjoyable two weeks’ visit to Calgary, where she was an interested visitor at the

Mrs. O’’‘onnor and: Mrs. Gries- bach, who have charge of the Uneeda booth at the Hospital Fair, are giv-

‘ing a musicale in All Saints’ school-

room on April 15th. when a delight- ful programme has been arranged. there will be absolutely no invita- tions. Everyone is cordially we!- come, but please don’t forget there willbe a plate at the door where you may drop any superfluous silver.

Iam more than glad to be able to report that Mrs. Harold Riley who

has been so seriously ill for a week |

or more, is, at the time of writing, slowly but surely showing a. slight improvement, and that the wee baby is thriving nicely.

Mrs. Mowat Biggar and Mrs. H. H. Richards, who have also been on

the very sick list, are also able to sit

up in bed.

Miss Dorothy Almon who has been spending part of the winter at the Capital, en pension at the Misses

Porter, for the benefit of her health, | left for her home in the Maritime |

Provinces on Friday. Miss Almcn intends however, I believe, to return presently when she has an idea of establishing a fine little poultry ranch, close in to the city.

In England ‘many titled women have gone in for this interesting

mixture of fad and business, and | are enjoying a wonderfully healthy |

life overseeing their petsas well as realizing very tidy little sums for pin money.

His Honor, the Lieutenant-Gov- ernor, Mrs. Bulyea and Misa Babbit have been attending the Horse Show in Calgary and are going on_ to Regina for a visit before returning to the Capital.

To-morrow (I write on Thursday) the greatest artistic event of che year in Edmonton will take place, when the world-famous violinist, Miss Marie Hall, isto give her recital. Accompanying Miss Hall are a voca- list and pianist, but these sink into significance when considered, in relation to the slight young girl who has taken the world by storm. Of course each man to his own way of thinking, but Ido hope that the Capital city of Alberta will know how to welcome so great an artist, when so rare an opportunity pre- sents itself. She comes, perhaps unfortunately on Good Friday, and l realize the date isan unfortunate one to some persons’ way of thinking but—I seriously question how an evening spent in enjoying so God- given a gift, so high an art, can, by even the strictest churchman, be said to be antagonistic to the spirit of the day. Here’s hoping for a crowded house, who will know how to tender this inspired girl-artist a Western welcome.

Thad a peep at Mr. Burk’s collec- tion of ‘‘young Albertans,”’ taken in connection with the offer made by the Saturday News, one day last week, and a bonnier, healthier little “bunch” you coudn’t find anywhere. Girl-babies and boy-babies, thought- ful and rollicking, the series pub- lished in connection with this column promises to afford a very great deal of interest. There seems some mis- apprehension as to prizes and the publication of these photos, Dear readers, we are not running a baby show, or any prize infant contest. We wouldn't dare. What this paper offered you may read plainly in an- other vart of this issue. merely to run a series of “Young

In any case it costs you nothing to have it taken, you get one photo free, and can order more at the regular rates if you so desire We would of course appreciate pub- lishing a representative series of photos, but that part of the bargain is at your own good pleasure. Now DO you understand?

Toronto friends of this clever and warm-hearted girl have always been included in her anniversaries, and the joyous dance which cele- brated her twenty-first birthday is yet green in many a happy memory. In all her hand has found to do, whether for the pleasure or profit of others she has put an enthusiasm and vim as delightful as it is endear- ing.

Mr. W. A. Kirkpatrick, chief clerk in the office of Divisional Sup- erintendent Brown of the C.N.R. at Edmonton, left on Tuesday even- ing for Winnipeg, where he enters the office of General Superintendent Cameron of the CN..R. Mr. Kirk- patrick has made many “friends in Edmonton during the three years that he has lived in the city who will wish him success in his new field of labor.
