1t is the opinion Of the attorney gen.

Lne conoltions OF the statute are notice to
All contracting parties and are a part of

II is the opinion Of this office that the dis

Delegates representing number of
neighboring farmers In Clay county,
Minnesota, who visited the Edmonton
district of Western Canada last sum-
mer are evidently very well satisfied
with the result of their trip They
think so well of the country that In
addition to the privilege OF obtaining
a free homestead of $50 acres of land
they have also purchased land. In
recent interview on the subject Messrs.
c. e. and A. Hughes Of GAINESVILLE,
Clay Co.. say:
I'VE are well pleased with Western
Canada 1t is far ahead OF what we
expected We find the climate to be
warmer than we expected. AS for tho
crops we have never seen anything
that can compete with them. We have
lived in Minnesota and have farmsd
some of what they count the best lands
in the Red River Valley for ten years
and have done very we'll in that part
Of the country. and have farms there
at present free of all circumference,
but believe that this country (Western
Canada) Is SO much better that We
have bought from the Canadian Pa
cific Railway Company one section OF
land northeast Of Edmonton in the
Beaver Hill district We have trav-
eled through that part of the country
and have seen the grain III the gran
aries and the amount of land that 1t
was taken on and find that they have
grown as much as fifty bushels and
over to the acre, and they say that this
has not been q good year, and very
little If any grain had been touched
by the frost. Hay seems to be plenti-
full. and II you wish to put up log
buildings you can get the logs within
a few miles. Coal can be had at the
mines for rs cents per ton. or you can
dig 1t yourself. Nearly all kinds Of
garden truck can be grown In abund-
ance. We find everything that can be
grown in good demand. The farmers
tell US that they can get four and
half live weight per hundred for hogs.
and for three year old steers from nifty
to sixty dollars per head. providing
they are good. We will move into that
part of the country next summer All
the people In that part of the country
seem satisfied, and we do not see any
reason why they should not be So"
The Messrs. Hughes also stated that
they would be very glad to afford any
one desiring particulars about the
country they had visited the fullest
information, on receiving enquiries at
Barnesville, Clay Co., before the LIST
of June next. when 1t is understood
they propose to return to the Edmon-
ton district.

The first canals in Britain were con-
structed by the Romans. OF these the
most remarkable are the Caer Dyke
and Foss Dyke GU in Lincolnshire,
which are by general consent admit
ted to have been of Roman origin.
The former extends from Petersbor-
ough to the River Whitman, near the
City of Lincoln, q distance of about
forty miles, and the latter from Lin
coin to the River Trent, near Torskey,
a distance of eleven miles. OF the Caer
Dyke the name only now remains, but
the Foss Dyke. though of Roman
origin, still exists, and is the Oldest
British canal. Foss Dyke, according to
Camden, was deepened and rendered
more navigable in 1921, by Henry I.
About 1841 it was widened to the
minimum breadth of As feet and deep
ened to the extent of six feet through
out, and thus this ancient canal, which
is quoted by Telford and Nimmo az
"the Oldest artificial canal in Britain"
was restored to a rtate of perfect eff
cheney, at a cost of forty thousand
pounds.

Medicinal Soap.

The use of soaps containing disin-
iectant of some kind has become SO
general, says the Medical Press, that
observations on the practical value OF
such combinations cannot fail to be OF
interest. DIR. Reithoffer has recently
published the results Of some expert
ments carried out by him with various
kinds OF soap, having for object to de-
termine their value as microbicidee.
He used the ordinary mottled soap,
white almond soap perfumed with no
trobenzine, and hard potash soap. He
found that these soaps we're very in
imical to the cholera mivrobe, al per
emit solution killing them in short
space of time, while per cent solu-
ton Of the potash soap killed them In
FIVE minutes. We are, therefore, At
liberty to infer that, as in washing the
hands the strength Of the soap solution
is never less than 5, and may go as
high as As, per cent this method OF
disinfecting the hands, as well as the
clothes, ETC., is fully trustworthy. Most
stronger solutions are required, how
ever, to destroy the bacili OF typhoid,
the coli-bacillus, etc., not less than 10
per cent being sufficient. None of the
soaps experimental with appear to
have any effect on pyogenic microbe.
The practical result Of these investiga-
lions is that it is always preferable
to use soap and water first Of all, rims
ing the hands in the disinfectant solu-
ton afterward. This is an important
point, which merits to be generally
made known.

The old adage that woman's pock-
ct has to be rediscovered every time
she puts on her gown Is true as well OF
the peculiar hiding places women con-
coct for the careful preserving Of their
worldly jewels and wealth. The old
stocking was the treasure vault of our
ancestors, but there are many other
methods of storing away money az
amusing as the stocking habit. and In
the days, too, of banks and burglar
proof safes 1t was only the other day
/ read Of woman who used the big
clock as a hiding place, and in 1t she
had the savings of years. In an un-
guarded moment she told Of 1t, and
two hours later discovered her loss.
Even then l do not seriously believe
that she took that lesson to heart; in
fact, l am inclined to the belief that
she hunted up new hiding place, los
ing her faith In the clock, but not in
the principle which made her select
such repository.

Their Diet and stimulsnts Are of Great
Importance.
Hard-working men, especially In the
learned professions, are often puzzled
as to the right hours for their meals
and the right diet to be taken at their
meals The much graver question OF
stimulants also interests them person
ally. The fear of a midday meal Is
very common among brain-workerS- A
good luncheon is apt to interfere with
inspiration, especially If any form Of
alcohol be taken. Tea, very popular
with scholars, is less Objectionable as
to its immediate effects, especially
among scholars, who like workwomen,
nearly always take too much and pre-
fer their tea to be strong. red as
blood" as Garrick used to say. The
chief danger in taking too light a
midday meal is that the student Is at
his worst, physically, just before din
ner time. Hence, dinner is rendered
fresh source of dyspepsia, and II he
sIrolls about before the evening meal
he is apt to take cold.
The special stimulants Of great men
have been recorded in their memoirs.
One of the most remarkable records OF
this kind has come to light IN Au-
brey's Brief Lives" founded on notes
taken by the author in the middle OF
the seventeenth century. Few drinks
are more distrusted among BRAIN
workers these days than ale, but
Pyrnne seems to have thought other
wise. He was a voluminous
writer, and his pamphlets lost
him his eyes and endangered
him his head. Aubrey informs
us that about every three hours his
(Prynne's) man was to bring him a
roll and pot of ale to refocillate his
wasted spirits. Sc he studied and ate
and drank and munched bread, and
this maintained him till night, when
he ate good supper. Now, he did well
not to dine, which breaks or ones
fancy, which will not presently be re-
gained" The danger Of a priort rea-
soning may be seen from the above
quotation. Those who have forgotten
about Prynne would take him, from
this note of his diet, to be a bohemian
OF a well-known old-fashioned type;
yet he was stern, uncompromisfng
puritan who suffered mutilation and
the pillory, and had violent and very
unbohemian prejudice against the
stage. The diet does not then proclaim
the man. We doubt, however, II the
serious student Of the end Of the nine
teenth century would do well to re
focillate his wasted spirits" by drink
ing a pot Of ale every three hours.
Prynne was perhaps wise not to dine,
which meant to lunch In those days,
and implied very hearty meal. But
the munching of rolls all day and the
good supper" were questionable. His
style was very caustic, perhaps be-
cause of the misrule of Charles l., but
possibly, also, through dyspepsia,
which also had so disastrous an infu-
ence on the literary temper Of Thomas
Carlyle.

Mr.. MERSHON'S LECTURE.
Course Completed Yesterday
at Mrs. Stires' With a
Talk on Rome.

The Rev. Albert Mershon gave the last
of his course of Lenten lectures yesterday
afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Man
ming Stires, No. IS Lexington avenue.
There was an excellent audience, the en-
tire class being present, and Mr.. Mershon
spoke on the History of Rome" taking
up the thread of his discourse where he
left off last week, from 6S B. C. to the
birth of Christ.
He spoke Of Caesars conquests in Gaul,
in S., his invasion of Britain in So, with a
description of the crossing Of the Rubicon
and the battle of Pharsalia, in AS; then
Caesars retirement to Rome in 46. and
his splendid triumphs, passing on to- the
battle of Munda in 49,.
The lecturer next spoke of the death
of Julius Caesar and the reign of Au-
gustus. Caesar. He spoke of Anthony at
Alexandria and the Battle of Actium.
where Anthony and Cleopatra were de-
feated: then of Caesar as the master of
the world n the dimensions of the Ro-
man Empire, describing the customs,
manners and prevailing PHILOSOPHERS of
the people.
The lecturer completed his discourse
with a brief sketch of the Augustan age
of literature, giving as gems from its
literary wealth, appropriate quotations
from Virgil, Ovid, Horace and Juvenal.

The "Journarr and School No. 90 Site

The article in the Evening Journal"
School was a contemplate exhibition of
cowardice. The writer i~nsinuated all
sorts of things, but he confined his spe-
cihc allegations within such bounds as to
make a prosecution for libel impossible.
Mr.. Mulvaney was fully justified in his
denunciation of the article at the City
Hall, last evening, as reported in our
news columns. 1t was the most infa-
nous of all assaults. 1t was the covert
attack which makes defence impossible
There is room for two opinions upon
this question. There is much to be said
for the Lockwood site and much for the
Detwilier site. Both rave their adyo-
Gates, and, lille the owners and agents
are, naturally, working for profit, those
who have notning to gain are divided in
opinion as to which site is preferable.
It is simply absurd to claim that the
position of an official in favoring n site
or the other must necessarily be cor
Il for when the public differ, their
representatives may well differ, too.
If the journal has any legal evidence
of wrongdoing. it is its duty to publish
1t fearlessly and fully. If it is right, it
need not skulk behind ambiguous
phrases: it may safely come out and
challenge the test of its sincerity which
q triaf for libel would afford. In plain,
ordinary, vulgar parlance, this is a case
of put up or shut up" The Journal
must either produce its evidence or with
draw its innuendoes.
