Sir Wilfrid was greatly snced as

forward to the highest achievements as
a nation. He expressed these ideas
felicitously in n speech delivered not
long ago when he said:
"At the queens jubilee I had the
privilege Of visiting one Of those mar
vels OF Gothic architecture which the
hand Of genius. guided by ar unerring
faith, had made a harmonious whole.
In which granite, marble, oak and 9TH

thedral is the image Of the nation I
hope to see Canada become. AS long
as live, as long as I have the power
to labor in the service of my country,
1 shall repel the idea Of changing the
nature OF it's different elements. l
want the marble to remain the marble;
want the granite to remain the gran

l want the sturdy Scotchman to re-
main the Scotchman; l want the brainy
Englishman to remain the Englishman; !;
want the warm hearted Irishman to
remain the Irishman. I want to take
all these elements and build a nation
that will be foremost among the great
powers Of the world"

the movement to protect the forests
OF Canada, and has extended an in

Mr. Cruise turned his check over to
Bishop Carroll yesterday.
The donation by Mr. Cruise is be-
lieved to be the largest ever made by an
individual in Montana for a religious
purpose. The $4,000 received by Bish-

a gentleman not resident of the state.
All the buildings except that occupied

Asked when the idea of first build
ing cathedral in Helena occurred to
him, Bishop Carroll said the first day
he came to Helena and entered the
present cathedral. He saw 1t was too
small, and that evening some of the
visiting bishops ana others in his pres
ence discussed the subject. In the
party was Mr.. Cruse and he coincidcd
with the idea that Helena should have

Later Bishop Carroll looked over the
city with the view to selecting a site.
He talked about it with Mr.. Cruse and
the latter said he thought the cathedral
ought to be located somewhere near
the center of the city. Finally Bishop
Carroll decided on the block that was
purchased, and to those who have

The custom has been to show off
in the windows and elsewhere boxes
