After the Durbar-What?

According to all accounts, the Delhi
durbar, in commemoration Of the corc-
nation Of Edward VII. of England as
emperor of India, which has just been
brought to close, was unquestionably
the most gorgeous pageant, or, rather,
series of pageants, that the modern
world has ever witnessed. It suggests
that somehow the English rulers Of
India got possession of Aladdin's mag
ic lamp and needed only to rub it in
order to have gold and silver, diamonds
and rubies, silks and cloth of gold, ele-
plants and various strange and deco
rative beasts rain down in the camp
at Delhi to grace British festival. N
account of the closing pageant III
this splendid picture: -.
An almost incalculable wealth of gold
and silver was displayed as the seemingly
never ending medley Of elephants, camels,
troops, musicians and carriages, repre-
senting the different Indian states, passed
before the vice regal dais. The elephants
carried hoWdahs and trappings Of the
purest gold and silver. There were car
riages of pure silver and sedan chairs Of
gold. - --
All this is very fine and gives the Inn
preston that India is rich almost be-
yond comprehension. We have read
before now of "the wealth of the In
dies" but we have also read more fire.
quently of the famines of India.
Since the Indian government has an
Aladdin's lamp which it could rub for
this magnificent spectacle, why can't it
rub occasionally for a little food for
the starving Indian people? Under
Lord Curzon's rule in the last two or
three years the price of food and COM
modities in India has risen from 40 to
60 per cent with no increase in work
mems wages. Intense and widespread
distress has resulted. Some part Of In
dia, indeed, is chemically in a state Of
famine.
But the great durbar. which has cost
nobody knows how many million
pounds sterling, is over. What next?
Shall we soon read, as we have read
time and again in the past, the piteous
appeals for succor from the plague and
famine stricken people of India?

controvert the theory that the higher

mother, six sisters and three brothers to-
mourn his loss. He is brother of Ike
Kelly of the firm Of McGilivray & Kel-S
ly, of Bottineau. Three of the family,
two brothers and sister are residents
of this county. His parents live near
Hamilton, Ont. and to this point the
body was shipped on Thursday morning.
A funeral sermon was preached at the
home of deceased by Rev. McInnes. of
Omemee. From there the funeral pro-
cession proceeded to the Presbyterian
church in Bottineau where short serv-
ice was conducted by Rev. Peter Mitch
ell. Mr.. Kelly was one of the promi-
nent young men of this county and was
well and favorably known in and
around Bottineau. His sudden death
was severe shock to the whole com
munity. The sorrowing relatives have
the sincere sympathy Of their many
friends in their bereavement. The de-
ceased was twenty six years old.

that the above party had given rise to

crops in the county Of Bottineau and
especially in this vicinity can truth
fully say that there are nowhere in the
state better prospects for fairly good
crop than here In recent issue I re-s
marked that the fault Of having poor
crops lies not IL the poor land but ia
poor farmers. For instance, p. Schoon-s
