OF the times passed him by or else his IL
nature too kindly to retain the passions
or those other times No more devout
mormon can be found than this sturdy old
man. but never met a man who expressed
more cheerful tolerance of all the world
and its opinions. He was friend of
brigham Young, probably the strongest
character that Mormonism ever produced.
In 1864 he established a mercantile BUSH
ness In Salt Lake City that is now being
conducted by his Oldest son. In his Ma
grain mouse he has picture of his place
in Salt Lake City, a pretty, vine-clad cot
tage with home written large all over it.
1t Is the sort of a haven that one would
think man Of seventy. who had led an
extraordinarily active life would thirst
for as a pleasant refuge in his declining
years.
But instead OF such retirement you find
this man of brakes breed pioneering in
western Canada with hearty enjoyment Of
the life. He has thousand acres here
and more acres there, and a few hundred
constitute what he calls garden patch
around his house. He works or actively
superintends it all. He turned out to do
honor to the visitors with pair of spirited
horses hustling light trap, and as he
drove over the plains he would rein his
team in every now and then to jump out
with surprising activity and pull up stalks
of green grain or to scoop up handouts OF
the black, loan SOIL He talked rapidly
and entertainingly, but without Il note OF
self-exploitation for he takes himself mere
ly as a matter of course. We al mad to
fairly draw the stories in which he was con-
cerned out of him by the roots.
I'm told, too, that he IS not by any means
an unusual type of the early Mormons.
They were recruited from hardy timber
and the weak ones were early killed off in
the struggle. You con think what you
please about their religious faith, or lack
of 1t, but their achievements command ad-
miration, whether willing or unwilling. And
William Wood somehow seems to typify
this people and their work.
Come back in ten years and well show
you city," he cried as our train pulled
out. And I'll be here to welcome you
then"
And l guess that's true, too. l. c. n.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
MAGRATH, Province of Alberta.
Canada, August 2, 1906.
There used to be a derisive little song
about the Mormons. It was a foolish af-
fair, superlatively SO, and trotted along
something like this:
II want to be Mormon
'And with the Mormons dwell
''They pick potatoes with their feet
And none of them can SPELL
I don't believe anybody ever had dis
position to sing that dogerel in Magrath.
Not because of any fear of personal dan
ger, for man could probably walk down
the main street of this entirely Mormon
town, yelling that song through a mega
phone and be considered merely ill-bred or
insane But the work that those same Nor
mon folks have done in this country would
keep him quiet. They have taught Canada
irrigation as they long ago taught it to the
United States They are raising sugar
beets in territory that up to a few years
ago was considered mi-arid-and that's a
mild way Of putting 1t, too. And they don't
send their beets out of their own hands
either for half-million dollar sugar re-
finery squats on the fat prairie between
two Mormon towns ready for the fall crop
Southern Alberta has a triangular tract
of land that is entitled to the description
'semi-arid," although it irritates the aver
age dweller in these parts to have it so
branded. Anyhow, it was used exclusively
for ranching until the Mormon agricultur-
lists took hold. Nowadays it will apparent
ly raise almost anything. And that, be 1t
said, is the Mormon way. 1t has come to
be tradition up in this country that the
Mormon farmer can sprinkle little talcum
powder on hot rock and raise strawber-
ries in December. That may possibly be
slight eXaggeration, but not very much.
They're the real wizards of the soil, par
ticularly when it is remembered that usual
ly they have had mighty few wiz ma
terials to begin with.
The Mormon Colony.
The first Mormon families came to this
triangle way back in 1885, having been
forced out of Utah by some legal variation
of the plural marriage proposition. The
colony grew, particularly after the Mormon
church decided that it was good site for
town and designated colonists to occupy
it. The first year, irrigation not being
under way, was disastrous, the new set
tiers losing practically everything they had.
But they weren't bothered little bit and
had no thought Of letting go.
My church sent me up here one of
them said that spring to Gentle neghbor,
land I'm going to stay II have to eat
grass" And this same Gentle, who is
still living in the vicinity of the Mormon
settlements, has seen them make good year
by year in their work Of retaining the

Boys Strange Disappearance.

The police have been asked to look out
for Robert Lightcap, Ii years old of Cos e
street northeast, who has been missing
from his home since last Sunday. On that
day the boy went out to play with some
companions and has not returned. 1t was
thought he would be back in a day or so,
but his protracted absence caused his rel
atives considerable alarm. They reported
the boys disappearance to police head
quarters. He is described to the police as
being small for his age, dark complexion,
wearing dark green suit, short pants and
a straw hat.

Opinion Of a Louisiana Man.

M. A. c. Hussey, assistant adjutant gen.
eral of Louisiana, says that lat the time
Congress legislated the army canteen out
of existence experienced ones thought It a
mistake. and the practical test has proven
that 1t was. This is one Of the cases where
theory and practice do not work in har-
mony. 1t has resulted in shutting off the
canteen spigot and opening the saloon
bunghole. and in the change the soldier gets
the vilest of drinks"
Ben. A. Hamilton, assistant adjutant gen.
eral of Tennessee, says he Is teetotaler
himself. but II man will drink he be-
lieves In giving him the ''best grade of
swill that is. possible and relieve him of
abolition of the canteens at the national
brutes to get what he wants"

Sarah Jenkins, colored told Judge Kimball
in the Police Court today. She declared she
did not assault Alice Henson, also colored,
as alleged in an information filed against
her.
All OF the parties live in the neighborhood
of 9th and n streets northwest, and last
evening, as was alleged by the police, Sarah
started on the warpath.
From the testimony before the court 1t
appeared that Sarah was hit with several
bricks but that she was assaulting Alice
Henson when Policeman Lefew of the sec
ond precinct station swooped down upon
the combatants and sent Sarah to the sta
ton
believed Sarah was to blame and that the
fine would be SIS.

Pennsylvania Protest.
Charles A. Suydam, assistant adjutant
general of Pennsylvania, writing from Phil
adelphia. says: II have always been Of the
opinion that the abolition of the canteen
from army posts and soldiers homes was
a mistake The testimony of officers of the
regular army relative to the evil results
that have resulted since the Establishment OF
the canteen should convince any fa1r-mlno-
ed person that these officers are interested
in the welfare of their men. These old
boys are fixed in their habits, and why NOT
let them have their enjoyment, surrounded
by the restraining rules of the homes l
hope the time is near at hand when Con-
gress will vote for restoration OF the
canteen."
Philip 8. Chase. assistant adjutant gen.
eral of Rhode Island; w. H. Kimball de-
partment commander Of Georgia, ana
Frank P. Sterling assistant adjutant gen.
eral of Montana, are among the others
who favor the restoration of the canteen.
From the Far West.
Western department commanders are
practically as unanimous for the restora-
ton of the canteen. both in the regular
army and soldiers homes as their COM
rades In the east. Hamer Sutcliffe, depart
ment commander of Portland, Ore, writes:
IT am very much in favor of the canteen.
Living within six miles of a large army
post, 1 know the difference between there
being a canteen and no canteen, and sin
cerely hope that Congress will listen to the
reports of regular army officers on that
subject and not to impracticable persons
with a dogma"
James H. Creighton, department COM
mander of Arizona, says that he is tenn
perance man, and regards the use OF liquor
as vicious, but as I know the habits Of
unemployed soldiers. know they will have
liquor, and 1 am thoroughly convinced that
it is better for them to get 1t at a place
under the control of their officers and with
in their own camps than elsewhere. l
therefore believe in the army canteen.
William c. Allberger, department COM
mander of California takes this view: Il
am strongly in favor of the canteen, having
had considerable opportunity to see Its ben
efits in service and at our veterans homes
in this state. indorse every word that our
commander n-chief has said"

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dress
to wounds, bruises, burns and like
injuries before inflammation sets in,
they may be healed without mat
uration and in about one-third the
time required by the old treatment.
This is the greatest discovery and
triumph Of modern surgery. Cham.
berlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptis
and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly,
1t also allays the pain aud soreness.
