PLAN TO HONOR BELL
CANADIANS WILL ERECT MONU.
MENT TO INVENTOR.
Fitting Memorial Proposed to Man
Who Solved Problem of Talking
Over Long Distances at Old
Home at Brantford, Ont.

TOrOnto.-For DR.. Alexander Ora
ham Bell, the man who has always
been ahead of his age, a new honor is
scheduled - barring accidents - to
come soon. DR.. Bell invented the tel
ephone before he knew enough about
electricity to take any rank whatso-
ever as q practical electrician and be-
fore people were ready to appreciate
the immense value of a utility that
practically annihilates space and time.
1t wasn't until the last years of the
nineteenth century that the full worth
Of tae invention, which was exhibited
at Philadelphia in 1876, began te be
understood. The present insistent de-
mand for telephone service, which Is
being felt all over the world, Is an In
dication that even the dreamers who
backed DR.. Bell when the practical
success Of his undertaking was doubt.
full had no adequate conception of the
vastness Of the industry they were
helping to create.
And now people in Canada are pro-
posing to erect a memorial in the in
ventors honor while he is still alive
That, certainly, is somewhat unusual,
even in this day and generation Of
swift achievements For the most part
people wait until man has gone on
before they thus honor him. Such &C.
ton, at any rate, would help to keep
DR.. Bell ahead of time even If he
were not still In the forefront of the
industrial procession, tirelessly ex-
perimenting in the unsolved problems
Of aerial navigation. His admirers in
the Dominion, under the title Of the
Bell Telephone Memorial association,
are determined that the object of their
admiration, being yet mortal, shall SEQ
himself immortalized.
Specifically, they are raising fund
Of $4,000 or more, of which about
$4,000 has already been subscribed,
to erect suitable artistic memorial
in public square of the city of Brant-
ford, Ont, where DR.. Bell lived sew
aral years. 1t is hoped, also, that
they may be able to purchase and

And having eaten a very modest

the contrary he seemed to regard it

keep as a museum for the reception
of objects of scientific interest the old
Bell homestead on Tutela Heights in
Brantford.
Such a tribute will especially honor,
of course, the most popular Of modern
forms of public service. For, despite
the interest now taken by almost
everybody in DR.. Bells flying ma
chimes as he launches them at his
summer place in Baddeck, always hop
ing to solve the riddle Of successful
fight, his most memorable achieve
ment in the popular mind will prob
ably always be the invention of the
telephone. 1t is true that his con-
nection with the industry, which has
now become so important that almost
100000 telephone stations are in op-
Grafton on the globe, was a short one.
It began in 1874, when DR.. Bell was
professor of vocal physiology at Bos'
ton university, and it ended early in
the SOS, when the work Of converting
into a commercial utility what at first
was only a scientific toy was well I'M
der way. In the successive i'm
provements Of the facilities for long dis
lance communication-ind development
of switch boards, hard drawn copper
wire, microphones, repeaters, loading
coils and all the other technical nice;
ties which have made it possible to
keep alive the minute currents used
In telephony for thousand or two
thousand miles-in these DR.. Bell
has played no direct part, though he
has always been an interested spec
tator
He was, fortunately, in 1880 in a
position of financial affiuence, which
has continued to this day, and which
has enabled him to devote himself to
chosen scientific pursuits. He recently
passed his sixtieth birthday, and now, at
a time when, with the steady lengthen-
ing of the human span, he is hardly
to be considered more than middle
aged, he will in all probability be.
called upon to go to his one-time home
and see dedicated there memorial to
what is perhaps the most important
scientific achievement yet made on
American soil.

The worst Was Yet to Come.

A southern pulpit orator, one Sun.
day morning, was describing the ex-
perience of the prodigal son. In his
endeavor to impress his hearers with
the shame and remorse that this
young man felt and his desire to cast
away his wicked doings, he spoke
thus:
IBIS young man got to thinking
about his meanness and his misery,
and he TUX off his coat and frowed it
away. And den he tux off his vest
and frowed dat away. And den he TUX
off his shirt and frowed dat away too.
And den he come to hisself."

Forest Reserve Improvements.

Major Frank A. Fem OF the forest
service, stated Yesterday that 1t is
probable that a loan OF s2,000,000 will
be available for advancement from
the general treasury of the United
States for the purpose Of improving
the roads, trails, telephone lines and
other public utilities within the
boundaries of the forest reserves.
This, Major Fem says, II made.
will he in the nature of a loan to the
forest ervice. In view of this 1t is
highly important that the different
parts of the state, in the apportion-
mnnt of the 10 per cent of the in
come from the forest reserves In the
various counties, should have as much
O. their allotment as possible expend-
ed in connection with the improve
ments that will be secured through
the proposed loan.
The national government is now
employing skilled trappers and hunt
ers to capture and kill destructive
wild animals in the forest reserves,
which will be a great benefit to these
districts, especially to cattle and
sheepgrowers, in protecting livestock
This the government is paving for di-
rectly.-Roise Statesman.

Weather Notes From the Interior

A chinook wind commenced blowing
Thursday night and soon blew back to
the Arctic regions the polar weather
that held the northwest in its icy en-
brace for over two weeks. says the
Fossil Journal. For over a week the
mercury dropped below zero every
night, and one morning it took a big
drop to 15 below. Water pipes suf-
fered but little damage and no one
felt the cold much In this vicinity. as
we are close to the woods and fuel
is plentiful and cheap. The storm
broke none too soon for stockmen,
who do not need ladder any more
to see over the tops of their hay
stacks. The loss of livestock has been
light so far, and will continue to be
SO unless another storm should come.
