Who Will Be On the

Council Next Year?

Nomination Day {4s Not Far’ Distant —election Appears Probable

With nomination ‘day but a few weeks off, interest in municipal af- fairs in Bassano is beginning to sim- mer. Three councillors and the mayor retire from this year’s coun- cil and, while candidates are rather shy in announcing their intentions as yet, indications are that there will

per time comes.

Mayor H. O. Bredin has served three years in that capacity and in formed The Mail that he feel he has done an ample share of munici pal work,. His friends have expres sed the opinion that his experience as mayor and the close touch.be har very bad!y needed during the next year or so, ”

Jos, Stiles, uow a councillor, ~ is being put forward for mayor by his friends but so far Joe determinedly shakes his head in the negative.

Thos. Hunter, poprietor of the Hunter hotel, is understood being urged to stand for mayér’s job, ae cording to ‘information received. He is an extensive property h Ider in) Bassano, arid has’ taken an active interest, in town’ atfairs.

WASTE OF COAL

e

The waste of coal gonig on-in the coal deposits on the ‘Blackfoot 2eser- vation owing to the undisturbed fire in a coal seam appears to be a fit sub- ject for government investigation. For years the fire has been burning cradually consuming great quantities of valuable fuel. In these days of conservation it is regrettable that the proper authorities have pot taken steps to extinguish the fire. We understand that thiy would not be a difficult’ matter.

Coal deposits on the reserve mean much to Bassano und it is to the town’s interests to stop the needless waste,

Good Living Conditi:ns

Bassano citizens may not fully appreciate the ad- | vantages enjoyed by residents in this town, and good | iving cxrdi'ioms mean a great. Jeal is a tow.’s growth. One of first importance is the school system. This tow” has a splendid public and high school and we rearrat dwell tor stroraly on the alvartages this meats to Rassan. What family is there who does not give first consideration iv this age of 2 lighteyment to the education of their chil-lren ? :

The Bassavo Municipal! Hospital is the meavs of bvivgivg mercifrl relief to the sick and stricken of a wide area, and affords an inexpensive asylum particu- ‘arly for those living in the bosnital district who might require its shelter and medical attention.

The town has three cHurches and the religious side of life, of great importance to any community, is well looked after.

The town is the centre of a sub-judicial district and has ambitions to become a full judig¢ial district with a resident judge. The registry office.is also lo- cated here. ° In these and many other ways, the town is developing into a centre for a large area. The stores carry unusually large and varied lines of mer- chandise and almost very kind of business is revresen- ted here. The professional men are of a higher calibre than is customary in Alberta towns. The citi- zens are as a Tule, ambitious about their town, anxious |to see it ‘progress and energetic in publie spirit. . What town can lag behind with these assets!

Farming Possibilities

Last but by no means least, to use a hackneyod expression, comes agriculture, Farming, as every- one knows, is the basic. wealth of Western Canada. Bassano is the centre of a fine farming country, not- able: for the abundance of the grains produced, The irrigable land produces more diversified farm wealth and in years to come will bb a great asset to Bassano. Thousands of acres of fine irrigable land is yet to be disposed and, when the water can be delivered will soon be sold... The demand for Alberta irrigable land has not. overtaken the supply and hundreds of new families

Fire Smouldered in Coal Bin «

Dr, Jakes of Regina discovered, after a fire had been smouldering his coal bin for two days that his coal waa on fire. The doctor had noticed that there was an unusual amount of fumes and amoke but concluded that the furnace was giving trouble and took no further noticme beyond attempting to remedy tthe latter. When it transpired; how-. ever, that the coal supply had been

| burning steadily for two days, the fire

department was notified. They got tthe ‘blaze under control before it had

made any great headway.

Admits Perjury :

A young girl, Verda Kirkland, some time ago gave evidence against two Ser- bian restaurant keepers, Yanko Toshik and Yoko Yocock, which caused them to be centenced on conviction of at- tempted rape, to seven years imprison- ment. The girl now confesses that the stoty she told about being drugged’and attacked in the kitchen of the restau- rant by the men twere all a dream. She says there was not a word of truth ih it and she is prepared to go to pris- on if they are freed. The case has been placed in the hands of the Minis- ter of Justice, at Ottawa.

Joseph Foley May Be Senator

In the northern part of the province, interest is rife as to the probable suc- cessor, to Senator Prince of Battleford, who died a few days ago. It is under- stood that the only name yet mentioned in connection with the vacancy, is that of Ex-Mayor Joseph Foley, of North Battleford, who has been iddntified with public life in the north for a number of years.

As Senator Prince. was the only Roman Catholic in the province in the Senate at Ottawa, it is probable than an appointee of that persuasien will be named to take his place, as there are between 200,000 and 300,000 adher- ents of that religion in the province. Ex-Mayor Foley, it is pointed out would fill that condition.

qnmgiathichinia ’ Work To Be Rushed on Tle Experimental Farm .

Premier Meighen, during the half- hour which he spent at Swift Current on his way to the coast made the statement that the work of developing the new experimental far there would be pushed ahead with all possible apeed, so that it might become of real service to the farmers of this section of the province.

Both Mr. Meighen and Hon. J. A. Calder were of opinion that the new federal farm, together with the results forthcoming from the Better Farming Conference held in this city during the summer would prove of valuable as- sistance in overcoming many of the difficulties which had_been experienced

among the agriculturists of southwe@,

tal in Hamilton, Ohtario, aged thirty-

three years. His ‘wife died of the ‘‘flu™ at Battleford, about eighteen months ago, leaving five young children. A sad fact in connection with Mr, Ghent's death was that only two weeks previ- ously he sold his farm near Battleford:

Landru Given Four Year Sentence Henri Landru has recently been con- victed in Paris on the charge of swind- ling and being a habitual criminal, and was sentenced to four years’ imprison- ment and subsequent deportation. The prosecutor announced that Landru might not be tried on the mur- der charge goowing out of the disap-

pearance of eleven women, to whom gy

he was said to have promised martiage. This is to be decided shortly. Since his arrest Landru has been alluded to as a blue beard. He was arraigned a week ago on the swindling charge which grew out of his venture in the automobile business in

Anti-Smoking ‘Agitators Denounced Discussing the question of the agi- tation of those people who would stop smoking, Mayor Beeker of Hamilton, Ontario, said: ‘I believe that | these people are affected with a form of hydrophobia, They are nearly as bad as the people who wanted to cut off cigarettes from the soldiers. I believe that there+is temperance in all things, even reform. The word of the woman who started this, that shé is ‘doing the. Almighty’s work’. is. blasphemy.”

Du-ing the past iew, weeks, the De- partment of Agriculture has received

a number of requests for information as to where brood sows may be se- cured. | It is evident that there will be a nen throughout the fall. Many farmers during the past two years have sold entirely out of their breed- te stock of sows and now that grain has reduced somewhat in price, some

of these

men are anxious to again | become

established in the business but find no local supply from which to secure a start. The matter -as discussed by the live etoch comunia- sioner of the Deparcment of Agricul- ture of the Dominion government and with the commission firms at Edmon- ton and Calgary stock yards. It was learned that a considerable nurh- _ ber of good brood sows are now pas- “sing through the \atodk yards and are being bought by the packers for slaughter,

Arrangements have been made with the live stock exchangos at these yards to fill orders for brood sows. The Department will place a repre- ;Sentative in the yards to see that the | farmers’ Intere®ts are looked after | Farmers are advised to procure sows from: local shippers if possible, which | will save freight to and from the cen-

tral yards. 9 Those wishing to pur- chase from the stock yards should communicate with the secretary of

When the little people saw that I was quiet they discharged no more arrows, but by the noise I heard I knew their number had increased; and about four yards from me, over against my right ear, | heard a knocking for above an hour. Turning my head as well as the pegs and _ strings would permit me, I saw a stage erected about a foot and a half from the ground, capable of hold- ing four of the inhabitants, with two or three ladders to mount it, from whence one of them who seemed to be a person of some consequence, made me a_ long speech, of which I did not under-

stand a sentence.”

In the very far long ago days

of sewing, when the cave mothers | sewed skins together help of strong grasses and needles made of

with the

bone, there . were no thimblés at all, Somehqw, they were never thought of, though sometimes when the needles wouldn't go into the stiff skin most likely the cave mother would lean down and pick up a stone or a bone and push at her needle with that.

But, of course, that wasn’t real-

ly a thimble!

| Our thimbles are like little fing- |

er-hats; indeed, ‘‘finger-hut"’ their German name; the funny thing is that we should call them “‘thimbles,’* for we never use them on our thumbs, do we?

Well, there's a reason for that; the very first thimbles were worn on people's thumbs; they were called ‘‘thumb-bells’’ then, be- cause they were shaped like little bells; that’s how the word ‘thimble’ came. A Dutch gold- smith made the first one, I believe, and sent it to a lady friend of his; all the Dutch girls—and even some of the boys, too—sew beau- tifully, you know; and this par- ticular lady was very industrious indeed, so | xepect she was simply delighted with the "gift.

When at first thimbles came in- to fashion, everyone wanted one, but a good many people had to wait, for they were very expen- sive indeed, to begin with. Nowa- days everyone uses them; there are penny thimbles for little girls, ard silver thmibles for use when they are bigger; and there are jewelled thimbles, and thimbles made of gold for anyone who wants to spend their money. I have read that some of the very rich Chinese ladies wear mother err thimbles set with jewels;

A _ repre- sentative has been sent to these coun- | tries to arrange for a supply of lumber. }

It is claimed that New Zealand, with- ing the next two or three years would | consume 40,000,000 50,000,000 | feet of lumber from Canada and _ the United States and possibly this might be repeated during the next five or six

or

years, for there must be a large amount

of construction work done in order to |

meet the demands of the rapid develop- ment in different sections, of the coun- try.

A Letter From Lenin

The Russian premier, Nicolai Lenin, has ‘written from Moscow to a close friend a Russian professor named Lut- inlow, who is now recuperating here, that the Bolshevist invasion of Poland failed bwing to bad military leadership. The Red Army is composed of loyal fighters, but the chiefs were not up to their jobs says Lenin. He dwells with great hope on the propaganda of En- ver Pasha in Afghanistan, and Beluchi- stan, adding that India sooner or later will adopt Bolshevist rule,

Japs to Control South Séa Islands _ The 700 South Sea Islands for which Japan obtained mandatory rights at the peace conference will have a Jap- anese governor and a thorough system of administration.

The expedition returned after collec a considerable tribute to the territorial revenue from the dealers who flourished and abounded in Dawson, City.

in the journey. Hon. 'PJ. H. Ross, replied to this criticigm behalf of the Government. He said: “The Hon. gentleman

In those days the room of the Speaker, who, at that time,

was John F. Betts, at Prince Albert, was a place of hospitable

entertainment and the members who foregathered there in the

‘interests of legislative duties, engaged in true western convivality

over the glasses of Scotch whiskey of a quality which is, alas, no

nonger procurable. The walls of the queer old building which

stands on Dewdney street still, could tell many a queer remitiis- cence of those hearty old days, could they but speak.

NICHOLAS F. DAVIN

Once when the late Nicholas Flood Davin, who was a member for the constituency of Western Assiniboia, had return- _ ed from Ottawa after the session, was making a progress along_ South Railway street, stopping every once in a while to discuss with various citizens the events of the session; quite a little knot had gathered around him in front of the building then the Smith & Ferguson Block, and which is now known as Champs Hotel. Mr. Davin wes holding forth in his well known vigorous manner, when interrupted by Archie McDougall, one of the oldest timers in Regina, and a strong political opponent. Mr. McDougall said:

“Tl hear Mr. Davin you nearly killed the speaker this session.” Turning quickly to him, Davin said, “In what manner?”’,

“Oh,” retorted the interrupter, “By talking him to death,”

“Pshaw,"’ responded the witty veteran, “it is not the first Grit | have slain.”

: Mr. Davin was a member of the Federal House at the time of the tragic death of Sir John Thompson, Prime Minister of Canada. (The Premier died suddenly in Windsor Casthe.whilela guest of Queen Victoria.) A cablegram conveyed the news to Ottawa, and it also stated that the British Government had offer- ed a battleship to convey the body of the late Premier to Canada: The members of the Government were stunned at the news. The Acting-premier, Sir John Abbott, made a brief announcement and Mr. Davin was on his feet to pay a glowing tribute to the dead Prime Minister. He made a short and eloquent speech on the spur of the moment and his concluding words delivered with matchless elocution and in his sympathetic, mellifluous trish tones made a profound impression upon his listeners. He concluded by saying ‘The deed Premier was born in a cabin in Nova Scotia; , he died at Windsar Castle, the guest of his Scvcreign; a battleship is his bier ard the guns of an Empire are booming his requiem."” }

A REGINA FARMER AT GOLF

There is a well known and brawny farmer who has qperated his land about four miles out of the city of Regina for the last thirty years and amassed considerable wealth.. A few years ago when the Country Club was started soiitheadl of the city, this man used to watch the Regina alleged golfers as they drove the ball about the field from the vantage point of the spring seat of his wagon. One day when he was driving back to the town a little knot of golfers, most of whom were well known to the farmer, were gathered about the green close to the road. The: farmer got into conversation with them and asked something about the details of the game of :‘cowpasture pool’ as he desig-. nated it. His informant explained to him that the object was to drive the ball off the team and get it into the hole on the dis- ¢ tant green as rapidly as possible. ‘‘Gee’’ said the farmer, | “‘T. believe | could do something at that game, let me have a crack a % it."" The ball was accordingly dolled up on a little conical nie , of sand and the driver was handed to the farmer. He shed his overcoat, his jacket and a couple of vests. and rolled his) slee high up from his brawny arms. Assuming a most improp: p

golfing attitude he glanced the distant flag and then swinging the club like an axe, hit the ball a tremendous wallop. It arose in the air in a beautiful curve, sailing through the atmdsphere id dropped on the green. The drive was a remarkable one and party hurried over the two or three hundred yards to le actly what had become of the ball. It was lying not ar fi the flag. 4 it ie “*Gke"* said the farmer in disgust, “I missed the goal g n hole, but with a little practice | think I could make i y History does not relate whether or not he followed ¢ essay into the golfing world. te TE
