VIII Keep Places Closed on Monday,
May 81, Memorial Day.


The saloon men yesterday decided that
they would take no chances and will keep
their places of business closed on Monday,
May 81, which will be generally observed
as Memorial day, which this year falls on
Sunday. May 30. Although Memorial day
is established by statute. Attorney General
Byers has given an opinion to the effect
that as it will be generally observed on
Monday, May 81, the saloons must close
on that day.
At first some Of the saloon men were
inclined TO take the position that Memorial
day falling on Sunday. May 80, they would
not legally be compelled to close their
places Of business on the day following
merely because that day would be gem
orally observed as a holiday. They finally
decided that, owing 30 the present uncer-
tain condition of affairs so far as the
liquor business is concerned, it would be
probably safer to close on Monday, May 81.

Chicago is fast becoming southern
city declare economists here, who point
to the fact that developments of the
past few years have wiped out the old
northern boundary line between settled
country and wilderness on the continent
and moved it north nearly five degrees
of latitude. The line now runs well up
in northern Canada, it is said, about
500 miles north of Chicago, or about
the same distance that Chicago is from.
the Gulf of Mexico. The recent rail-
road building activity in western Ca
NADIA is assigned as the leading reason
for these great inroads on the wilder
ness, coupled with the discovery of new
fertile wheat lands in upper Manitoba.
Saskatchewan and Alberta. Last re-
ports of the progress on the new Ma
tional Transcontinental the Grand
Trunk Pacific, indicate that settlement
is taking place rapidly along its main
line which is eleven degrees north of
the Union Pacific, the first line to reach
the coast. The Canadian Northern rail-
way already connects Prince Albert
with Winnipeg and Regina and line

katchewan river at the Pas wall push

clared by the Canadian government to
contain great mineral wealth and ag-
ricultural possibilities. The further ex
tension of this line in the near future
