EDMONTON
The cities and small towns of
Western Canada are very much alike
to the casual observer; that is they
present very much the same external
appearance differing only as they
differ in population. The railway
stations are usually well built and
are new. Close by can Invariably be
seen from two to a dozen grain ele-
vators. Not a great distance away
stands the-Alberta or the Alexandria
or the Queen's or the King Edward
hotel frequently towering a story or
two above -every other structure in
the place except the elevators. In
nearly every case good cement walks
lead over the business and residence
sections of the town. A few of the
towns are mostly built of lumber but
the more pretentious ones are of
stone or brick or cemenL Being
mostly new built they present a bet-
ter appearance than most of our
American towns of the same size.
VVThey are generally laid off on a Hb-
'eral scale as to streets usually are
close by some inviting looking stream
and invariably have given much at

tention to church and school build-
ings hospitals parks and other
things of public kind. It would be
mere repetition therefore to attempt
a mnute description of each of the
towns we visited and so I shall
merely mention the distinctive feat-
ures of some of them.
Edmonton was. among the largest
as well as the most attractive towns
on the route. It claims a? population
of 20000 and of 25000 including
Strathcona just across . the river
which is really a suburb of the larger
place though having a separate city
governmenL It is preeminently an
educational town. The provincial
government has acquired land for a
university to he built there right
away. Alberta College and other
smaller Institutions are already well
established and there are so many
excellent public school buildings that
I accused the genial mayor of back
tracking and pointing out the same
building two or -three times. For
several years the cjity has been add-
ing a public sohool jbuildng each year
at a cost of from $20000 to $60000

owned by the city an Immense pack-

and on every side there is an air of
hustle and activity such as character-
izes a progressive city. There are
a number of manufacturing concerns
already well established and the fact
that coal can be obtained at a price
averaging $3.00 a ton is inducing
other concerns to locate there. The
town Is particularly well located for
a wholesale trade having practically
the entire northern country and vast
.sections to the northwest and north-
east for a trade territory. Its rail-
way facilities are also good furnish-
ing excellent distributing facilities

Pacific railways. The country about
is as good as any section we visited
and realty prices are about as else-
where. Our party was delighted with
the entertainment given In Edmonton
Wrslcrn Canada
and with the cordial hospitality ex-
tended. The day was rather dis-
agreeable a light rain falling nearly
all the while we were there but that
didn't keep the people- of Edmonton
from turning out in large numbers
to extend the glad hand. We were
shpwn the city were lunched and
were welcomed in a genuinely hearty
way that made us. feel "good to be
there and regret to leave. The ladles
of the city turned out to an informal
reception at night and added much
to our pleasant stay. Every one of
us went away with the most favor-
able impressions of Edmonton and
Its good people.-
Calgary.
Calgary Is located in Alberta about
a hundred miles to the south of Ed-
monton and is a city of about the
same size possibly a little larger. It
is particularly well built both in the
business and residence sections and
Is located on the Bow river a swift
and beautiful stream that comes
from the Rocky Mountains. The
driveway overlooking the river and
the city is one of the prettiest in
all Canada. The city is evidently
older than Edmonton and in some
respects" appears to be more substan-
tially built but while It has much
to attract visitors it failed to impress
our party so favorably as did Its
rival city of Edmonton. I think that
this was due largely to some unfor-
tunate lack of understanding as to
the . entertainment of the party.
While In Edmonton the entire . offl-
1 t . t -
uiui Kjpuiauon anu many lauies were
on hand to welcome us the only man
who "appeared concerned at Calgary
was the secretary of the Board of
Trade. He worked like a beaver and
did his best but one man can not
take care of so large a party un-
aided in a way to leave the best
impression for his city. He man-
aged a delightful drive and distri-
buted some beautiful advertising
matter but printed matter even
though well worded and tastily
illustrated cannot take the place of
the cordial hand-sllake and the
hearty "I'm glad to see you" and
a drive with a hackman is not nearly
so satisfactory as one with an in-
telligent citizen at your side to point
out the places of most interest.
Calgary appeared indifferent and the
same kipd of a feeling soon took pos-
session of the editors. It is probable
they have had too much entertaining
to do to pay any attention to a mere
party of editors but that city allowed
an excellent opportunity go largely
to waste through its indifference.
We were there on Saturday afternoon
and night and most of the time being
left alone wandering about the shop-
ping district and watched the crowds
of buyers. There are many and well
.kept stores in Calgary and the scene
of business activity was decidedly in-
teresting and very much like that seen
in our . best towns on Saturday and
Saturday evenings.
A Great Irrigation Project.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Is un-
dertaking an immense Irrigation pro-
ject at Calgary utilizing the water of
the famous Bow river. The railway
company contemplates Irrigating
about a million and a half acres
along its lines for 150 miles east of
Calgary. At present the work is cop-
fined to the western section of about
350000 acres nerest to Calgary. To
irrigate this body of land the road Is
constructing a main canal 17 miles
in length with secondary canals 150
miles long and distributing ditches
of over 800 miles long. The water is
diverted from the Bow river by this
main canal which is sixty feet wide

project is in its infancy but it prom'-
ises to become one of the greatest un-
dertakings on this continent and the
Canadian Pacific Railway Co. issues

an irrigated farm in .Southern Alberta
is better than a gold mine In Klon-

THRUMS.
Many a small man accomplishes a
big task.
Keep oh going ahead; let others
look for -footprints
Men are the easiest fooled who (
think themselves wise
Opportunities and shrewd politi
cians wear rubber sfioes.
In giving good advice always save
a little for yourself.
Somehow the majority of our good.
habits never get found out.
Most men who think they are great
do not even look the part
Hardly any man is clever enough
to know how important he isn't.
If one good chance goes by you
just He low and grab the next.
Nothing pleases a little man more
than an opportunity to- act big.
Success produced by treachery and
cunning is usually very short lived.
The' less you think about yourself
the more others are apt to think of
you.
Lots of men never know on which
side of the fence they are on until
they fall off.
To keep your secrets Is wisdom
but to expect others to keep them
Is folly.
To caln wisdom you must have:
faith enough to believe those who
are experienced.
It's very hard to be popular with
yourself and please your neighbors
at the same time.
Politeness Is like an air cushion;
there is nothing to it but it eases
the Joints wonderfully.
He who reforms himself has done
more toward reforming the public
than a crowd of noisy speakers.
A life is great not by the measure
of a. few mistakes but by splendid
mastery over all mistakes.
The greatest sucesses the world has
over beheld have been at one time
the greatest improbabilities.
Never esteem anything of advan
tage to thee . that shall make thee
break thy word or lose thy self-re
spect.
There is a kind of honesty that
is' nothing but fear and a sort of
patience that is nothing but laziness.
- Every man has some peculiarity
that distinguishes him from other
men but it doesn't necessarily con
fer distinction upon him.
Mr. Jones: "I think I'm going to
have appendicitis." Mrs. Jones:
"Oh you do. Well T think I'm going
to have a new hat so your appendi
citis can wait." '
Did it ever occur to you how mis
erable you can make yourself by
wanting the things you have not and
by dwelling upon the things that ef
fort has failed to secure.
When a man considers how easy
it Is to lend money he cannot help
wondering sometimes that he finds
it so hard to get anybody else to
lend it to him.
Every man who tries can excel in
something even if it isn't anything
more than having acleaner backyard
than his neighbors.
There is no greater obstacle in the
way of sucess In life than trusting
to something to turn up instead of
going to work and. turning up some
thing if it be only a potato.
Sympathy is one of tho great se
crets of life. It overcomes evil and
strengthens good. It disarms resis
tance melts the hardened heart and
develops the better part of human
nature.
With every exertion the best of
men can do but a moderate amount
of good: but it seems in the power
of the most contemptible indlvidua
to do incalculable mischief.
The real worth of a man's life is
not measured by what he has done
for himself but what he hns done for
those about him and who will come
after him.

courage which will enable one to
mount up rung after rung until the
top is reached.
Looking to others for our standard
of happiness is a sure way to be
miserable. Our business is with our
own hearts and our own motives.
And you cannot borrow time. There
is no interest accumulating on the
days as we pass them by. Every
night the account is closed.
Geniuses are few and far betweeen
but really great men and women are -
common enough and what makes
them great? The power to do things
to make the world better for their
presence to benefit and elevate their
kind. They are the people who keep
ideals in sight and work work hard
to attain them.
An enterprising commercial trav-
eler tried to bribe a country mer-
chant in Scotland with a box of
cigars. ''Na na" said the merchant
-shaking his head gravely "I canna
tak 'era; I naer dae business that
way." "Nonsense" said the dnnmer
"but if you have any conscientious
scruples you may pay me a shilling
for the box." "Weel. weel" said
the honest shopkeeper "I'll tak' twa
boxes."
Sad will be the day for every man
when he becomes absolutely content-
ed with the life he Is living; with te
thoughts he is thiaking; with the
deeds he is doing; when there Is not
forever beating at the doors of his
soul some great desire' to do some-
thing larger which he knows that he
was. meant and made to do because
he is the child of God.
Most people who have accomplished
things worth remembering owe their
success to the fact that they persist-
ed when others gave up went for-
ward when others turned hack kept
fighting and struggling when seeai-
ngly there was nothing but darkness
and disappointment ahead smiled
when others frowned and told a joke
when some of their companions were
ready to go into sackcloth and ashes
or lament over some real or imagin-
ary ills. The Bee Hive.
