we have been swamped with letters
which run like this shaving seen in the
Pioneer Express, ETC." Had six appli
cations first week. There is a moral
in this for advertisers which we are too
modest to put into words ourselves.
John B. Chale died in Winnipeg last
week. Mr.. Chale was in early years
clerk for George Winters in this city.
Later he went to Olga and carried on
an extensive business as general mer-
chant for more than twenty years. He
was sixty-three years of age. He leaves
a wife and two daughters. A brother,
Antoine Chale, lives near Bathgate.
The graduating class of the high
school and their school mates have been
doing the social honors this week.
Ralph Chisholm entertained his class
mates on Thursday of last week. The
Juniors entertained the seniors at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. August Short
on Friday and Prof Lehman and wife
had the high school pupils as guests
on Saturday evening.
Somewhat warmer this week, but
none too warm. A nice small rain fell
on Wednesday and during the night.
enough fell to wet little more than an
inch of the ground. 1t was worth al
most cent drop to the wheat and
the garden stuff. Frosts occurred in the
winter wheat states during the week.
The winter wheat crop seems to have
been injured by bugs and cold weather
to the extent of about forty per cent &C

Throngs of land seekers are hurrying
to the Canadian northwest in response
to the order from the interior depart
ment at Ottawa, opening several large
tracts of land that has been held as re-
serves. Tomorrow large tract in the
Prince Albert district will be open to
filing and next month a large Doukobor
reservation northeast of Yorkton, con-
tanning some of the most desirable land
in Saskatchewan.
Arrangements have been made by
which Messrs Crossley and Hunter, Can
ada's most noted evangelists and men
of national reputation, accompanied by
Rev. Russell who is also an eminent
evangelist, will begin series of revival
meetings for two weeks, on Friday eve
ming, June 7th, at the City Hall. These
services will be under the joint auspices
of the various churches of the city.
This will be an extraordinary opportun-
ity for city of this size.
There are a few remarks on the edi-
torial page addressed to the citizens of
Pembina which every house holder
should read. The author is one who
has done much himself in the direction
indicated, and If all had done as much
as he, the city would look very different.
AS the author remarks, very little unit
ed effort would do much to make Penn
blna beautiful town. We are rapidly
getting rid of many of the old ''eyesores''
in the way of, dilapidated buildings
and trees and flowers and lawns and
grass will make a wonderful difference
