GOOD WORDS
An Editorial Estimate of
 Governor Ross.

At Che time Gov. James Hamilton Ross was taken ill the Edmonton Bulletin made the following editorial estimate ot hls worth as a man and public ofielaf
 First as private member, then as speaker and Afterwards as a member Of a responsible administration whose eNle,snoe and D wer were very largely due to his sxsrtlons, always energetic, always on the side or progress, always to the front ln protecting the public light and advancing l the public Interests, ne, CT a self-seeker, and above all, never an agita,oI nor dsmagogue, always the man of sound com mon sense, of unerrlng judgment, he was universally recognized as strong force for good h the public life of the territory. Ills cheerful spirit and pleasing manner made him a personal favOhte with all, while respect for himself and love Of absolute iair play protected him from the weakness of too mang good fellows In rublic hfe-advanelng personal friends from personal rather than public motives. Ills appointment to the eommIssionershIp of the Yukon was a recognition of the abilities he had shown and the work he had done 10 the territories; and ths course Of events ln the Yukon since he assumed the administration of It's affairs has more than justified the choice made and proven the sterling nature Of the qualities for which he was given critit In the teuitor- les. 1T the blow which has fallen SO un- sxpscisdly results In lsssenlng Mr. Ross future activity the loss win not be his alone, but will be the loss Of the country as well. There are too few such men as Mr. Ross To the public lie of Canada to- day tor any of them or any part of theIr activity to be well spared"

cure for Dropsy.
For years Mr.. Hanson himself has
suffered with Rheumatism of the
Heart and Dropsy, and of late has been
SO bad thai he could not work.
He has tried many remedies but
nothing he could get helped him in the
least and he was growing worse and
worse.
Finally he began treatment of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and to his great
delight he soon found that the Drop
steal Swelling was gradually going
down and that the Rheuma tism of the
Heart was also disappearing. He

Dropsy or Heart Trouble ever comes
back will use Dodd's Kidney Pills at

DOM PAUL KRUGER.
Something of His Life and Work in
South Africa

President Kruger, he who figured more
prominently in the early part of this war
that England declares is now over than
any other one man, is product of the hardy
conditions that surrounded pioneer life on
the South African veldt. He seems to have
been born a leader of men. Unlike the
majority of the Transvaal and Free State
burghers, who are of Holland ancestry, he is
of German descent, his ancestors emf
grating from the Potsdam district of Ger
many to South Africa in 1713.
Dom Paul was born in Colesburg, Cape
Colony, October TO- 1925. At the age of
ten years he migrated with his parents from
the place of his birth to the then unknown
interior. In this new country his military
life began at the age of Is, when he served
in the wars with the Zulus as a field cornet
in the Dutch army. In l848 he took his
place beside his father in the conflict with
the British at the battle of Boomplaats.
When the British advance made further
occupation of this territory Objectionable
to the Beers he became one of the leaders
of the "trekkers" who moved to the
Transvaal country. By 1861 he had risen
in military rank until he was commander in

could such thing have been possible.
After the capture and occupation of
Bloemfontein Gen. Roberts moved his army
toward Pretoria at a rapid pace. Occasion
al Boer victories were reported, such as
that at Sanna's post on March 80, when Col.
Broadwood's forces were badly routed
with a loss of seven guns, and the disaster
at Reddersburg the following day, which
resulted in the loss of 500 English troops,
but in the main the British were successful
and the war office at London and the Eng
lish people began to feel that the war was
about over. They could not at that time
see another two years and more of fighting
before them
On April Gen. Methuen retrieved part
of the laurels he had lost in the earlier
part of the struggle by the capture of con-

that the two republics had been able to
place in the field an army of from 81, 900 to
$4,000 men, though DR.. Leyds, the diplomat
ic agent of the Transvaal in Europe,
claimed that they had not less than 100000
men under arms.
The first battle of the war was fought at
Glencoe, Natal, October 20, 1899, when the
Beers were defeated and their position
captured by Gen. William Penn Symons,
who paid for his victory with his own life,
and the loss of some 43 men killed and 200
wounded. This was followed the following
day with battle at Elaandslaagte in which
Gen. French commanded the English troops
and Gen. Kock the Beers. The Beers were
defeated with loss of 100 killed and 300

was later abandoned and Buffers army

Gen. Roberts had now carried the war
into the very heart of the enemy's country,
and, with the exception of number of raids
into Cape Colony by the Beers, it has re-
manned there. But the war was not over
England's rising huzzahs at British victories
were tempered by news of British defeats.

On September l Gen. Roberts had issued
a proclamation annexing the Transvaal to
the British domains. He continued in su-
preme command until November 80, 1900,
when he turned over the command to Ger.
Kitchener and prepared to return to Eng
land. He can scarcely have realized the task
he was leaving to the fearless officer whose
laurels had been won on the battlefelds of
Egypt, and who, as chief of staff had done
SO much toward the success so far attained
by English arms in the South African con-
fict. His training was of the kind that
gave him special fitness for the work

chief of the Boer army in the conflicts with
the savage natives, position which lie re-
tanned until 1877, when England annexed
the country to Cape Colony.
During the war for independence, which
virtually began and ended at Majuba Hill,
he served as vice president of the trium-
virate which governed the country. In
1888 he was elected to the presidency of the
republic, and was thrice reelected, holding
the position SO long as his land which he
had helped to build remained an independ-
ent nation, though for the past two years
he has been forced to reside in Europe, his
advanced age precluding the possibility Of
his taking any part in the active military
campaign.
In his younger days he was great hunter,
and during the long trekking trip from
Cape Colony to the Transvaal he is credited
with having killed no less than $50 lions
