Mrs. Drees testified yesterday that
she first learned of the divorce in the
newspapers and that when she called
on her attorneys to learn if it was
correct, was surprised to learn that
it was. and that She had no remedy
to prevent the divorce from going in
to effect. She now claims she has q
complete legal defense to the charges
in the libel and had not rendered her
late husbands life burdensome by in
dignities. She claims she has been
wronged and is entitled to her widow S
dover in the estate if the court will
set aside the decree.
III their answer the executors deny
the assertions of the plaintiff and nj
lege she is barred from any further
action by not appealing from the de-
cree within six months. They assert
they are unable to state what con-
versation took place between the
plaintiff and her attorneys in the d.
vorce proceedings. as that was q con-
fidential matter among themselves.
They state that if she had defense
to the divorce it was her place to
make it at the proper time.
They claim that when she took
$4,000 of the personal property Of her
husband, being all the household
goods except one bed, she anticipated

clared that during the coming year q
fight on a large scale will be waged

New companies, however, are con-
stantly acquiring immense tracts, al
though most of this is being done
quietly.
1t was made public today that one
company had acquired concessions
from the federal government and from
the state of Chihuahua to explore ten
million acres of land in the eastern
part of that state. Meanwhile, 1t is
stated that syndicate headed by w.
R. Hearst and James r. Keene has &C.
quired rights over 100000 acres in
eastern Chihuahua.

THEY WILL FLIRT
Mixing Of Sexes at Glasgow University
Severely Criticised


Glasgow, Scotland, Nov. 26-coedu-
cation has been passing through sharp
criticism here during the last few
weeks. lin this period the senate Of
the university of Glasgow several
times has forcibly expressed the opin-
Ion that coeducation is not working
we'll so far as the relationship of the
young men and young women students
Is concerned. This relationship, it is
asserted, gradually has become mere
~ one of "boy and girl Irritation" and
the boasted advantages of coeducation
In the way of the achievement of a
higher grade of common sense and
seriousness have not yet appeared.
In order effectually to put stop to
these unwelcome conditions, one Of
the woman lecturers has been appoint
ed as a censor of morals" and it is
expected that she will at least bring
to an end "the disgraceful whispering
in the Corridors" which seems to be,
according to the students themselves,
the extent to which any Of the flirt-
ing ever went. The censor has carried
out her mission witt, sHch energy and
thoroughness that for several days not
single person has dared to be seen
within the precincts of the university
talking with another of the opposite
sex, but trouble is expected from the
very intenseness of the silence. The
censor herself has been completely
boycotted by the students, whose only
other expression thus fer is. contain
ed in the cofu1nns OF the university pa
per a paragraph Of which this morn
ing reads.
ut is the student bodies in all uni
versities who must decide whether CO.
education is success or not. Neither
senates nor female censors can.
"The biggest coeducational institu-
tion We know of is probably the uni
versity of Chicago, where we doubt if
ever such an insulting officer as a
female censor of morals ever was ap-
pointed, no matter how much whis-
pering there may have been in the
corridors. 1t Is matter of common
fact that wherever young men and
maidens meet, dalliance of some sort
may be expected. but even lady cen
sor cannot stop that. The severe at
mosphere of nunnery is not desir-
able in this university, so there is the
end of it,"
The paper concludes with the dark
threat that the student body will know
what to do.

fairs but Mr.. Stellwagen's experience
as treasurer of the last committee and
the confidence of the national chair

struction," he said. IT have now de-
,cided upon policy Of railway extern
sion throughout all parts Of the Prov
5ince, and I will give my best en-
sdeavors to. the advancement Of this
project. I intend to establish de-
partment Of railways and to make 1t
one OF the most important depart
ments Of the government, and one
which 4 will personally look after.
NY government has introduced many
pleasures for the benefit Of the peo-
pie, but do not believe any are Of
as much Importance as the action In
this matter will be.
Railways Badly Needed.
There are districts in Alberta
where such extensions are absolute
~ necessary to meet the increasing
demands for transportation facilities,
a. Well as to ensure wholesome COM
petition with the existing lines. Then
there Is the rich unopened north
country, the resources and agricultur-
81 possibilities Of which are even now
attracting attention in Europe and the
eastern portion of America. We will
see to 1t that this country receives its
share Of attention. Railways are as
essential to its development as they
are to the older districts.
VIII Demand Assistance.
1T is very plain the next stage of
progress In the province and the de-
velopment of it's real possibilities will
depend mainly upon railway extern
sion. Men will not build railways in
9 new country, however, without some
government assistance. They will de-
mand that their bonds be guaranteed
AMI the only sources for which they
can look for this help in Albertan
lines are the federal government and
our own. We have been, for some
time, asking the federal government
to extend this assistance, and we will
continue to do so, But If Ottawa, will
not help .us, then we will do It our.
selves, as the railways must be built.
Three Good Reasons.
TO my mind there are three main
reasons for the extension of the rail-
way service of Alberta. One is that
IN the older districts the present serv.
Ice Is becoming yearly more made
Quate to meet the demands. Another
reason Is the very obvious one thai
composition is needed, and the third,
that If we do not soon build more
railways in Alberta, the settlers wiz
cease to come into the country in the
iuMbers we require.
TO get homesteads today they have
TO 60 forty to sixty miles from rail-
ways. That is much farther than the
twentieth century settler is willing to
80 and 1t is necessary for us in AL
berta to make the conditions possible
Tor rapid settlement. We want popu-
lation to which all things will be
added" 70
