MEDICINE HAT WANTS BOOM,
One Industry Enterprising Town For.
got to Mention.

Medicine Hat is one Of the towns
pardon US, cities!-in tho Canadian
Northwest which is making . great
bid Just now for its share Of ths pres
ent boom in Canada. The mayor Of
Medicine Hat goes so far as to adver.
tise the merits Of that noble city in
some Canadian papers. Its virtues
are dwelt upon In these advertise
ments at great length, and particular
stress Is laid upon the fact that an
abundant supply of natural gas makes
Medicine Hat particularly favorable
place for the location Of manufactur-
Ing plants.
Somehow we seem to have heard
the name Of Medicine Hat before. II
our memory does not fail us, this is
the place where the weather man says
the cold waves come from. When the
mercury sinks to zero in the Ohio Val
ley this considerate gentleman some
times calls our attention to the fact
that 1t Is 40 below at Medicine Hat"
This does not seem so bad in August,
but 1t must be pretty cold reality in
January.
Medicine Hat deserves its growing
fame. Strange that in his references
to the many advantages of his grow.

never alludes to the cold wave indus

Maine Buried Treasure.

AS an illustration of how justice Is
sometimes meted out by our courts of
law the case of the buried treasure
found in New Vineyard serves well.
Fessenden Hackett, while employed
by Leonard Hackett found some old
coin of the face value of about $1,000
and bullion value of $3.50. Both the
HacEetts, brothers, claimed the coin,
and Fessenden finally bought his
brothers claim for $3.50 in good money
and took all the coin, comprising both
domestic and foreign money. But he
no sooner gets what he believes to
be clear title than two fellow-work-
men with him al the time of the dis
covery claimed the proportional parts
of the money and entered suit to re-
cover II. or the bullion value of $3.50
Fessenden had already paid his broth
er $3.50; now the jury has decided
that he must also pay each of his
fellow workmen about $500, so the
buried treasure he found. and which
had market value of $3.50, he must
pay $l,l50 for. In other words. he Is
$500 and court expenses worse off
than If he had found nothing.
