DECIDED ON
EXPECTED SITE
Y. M. C. A. Committee Want Cor
ner of AIakea and Hotel for
Its New Building.
(From saturday,s Advertiser.)

A meeting was held at the Y. NJ.
c. A. building yesterday afternoon to
hear the report of the site commit
tee. The report was presented by
George r. Carter, and showed that the
committee, composed of R. H. Trent
and F. j. Lowrey, in addition to Mr.
Carter, had done very thorough piece
Of work in looking over the ground
to find site for the new Y. NJ. c. A.
building. The report first stated the
conditions that the site must fulfill to
be desirable one, some of these con-
ditions being nearness to the business
center, in the line of the city's growth,
at. least 100 feet front by $50 depth,
and not too expensive in proportion to
the amount of money raised.
After telling of many of the pieces
of property Investigated, Mr.. Carter
presented the committees recommen-
dation that the site opposite the pres
ent Y. NJ. C. A. building and next the
Elite building be secured
The library site then came up for
discussion, and on motion of w. r.
Castle, seconded by w. l.. Howard, it
was voted that it was the sense of
those present that the building should
he located on the corner of Hotel and
Alakea streets and Adams lane. Those
present favored an exchange of build
inps and land between the association
and the library. If the deal can now
be put through as recommended by
this meeting, the association will have
one of the finest corners in the city.
All present felt that the committee
had done very thorough piece of
work and arrived at the right conclu-
sion. Some have felt that it is not
necessary to secure the library site,
but the majority think it should be
added to the other land.

CONFIDENCE

said Lord Chatham, I" is a plant
OF slow growth. People believe
in things that they see, and in q
broad sense they are right. What
is sometimes called blind faith is
not faith at all. There must be
reason and fact to form a four
dation for trust. In regard to a
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, "Has it cured OH
els? Have cases like mine been
relieved by it? Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,
and has it a record above usp:c-
ion? If SO, it is worthy of conf
dence; and if am ever attacked
by any of the maladies for which
it is commended, l shall resort
to it in full belief in its pow
er to help me-" On these lines

WHAT GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON, November l3.-Sec.

pointing out that the United States
government is spending in the neigh

perimental work in increasing the

country. The statement was inspired
by the charge made by William G.

this week, that the Nation could bet.

Origin of the Club Sandwich

Alan tombstone is said to have orig
mated the famous club sandwich, and
the story runs that ON going to the
club ono night between midnight and
daybreak he found the cafe closed, the
cooks gone, and being nearly
famished, he invaded the larder, toast
ed himself some thick slices of bread,
sliced them through, buttered them
while hot and laid thereon everything
he found in the refrigerator, cold
chicken, ham. and lettuce, with a
spoonful of mayonnaise.
The result was such an epicurean
discovery as is not often made, but
the story was too good to keep; he
confided the recipe to his cronies and
it straightway became one of the pop
ular dishes of the club menu, and so
the father of the club sandwich, so
deservedly popular, is the present Brit
ish minister to Copenhagen.-Was

Remarkable SIGNATURE

In the Christmas number of the
Strand Magazine appeared what is
without doubt the most extraordinary
signature ever devised by writer.
1t is one which may be seen on hun
dreds of government papers at Wash
ington, where the man who uses it
was for some years expert computer
of the United States Coast and Geo
detic Survey and astronomer of the
Carnegie institution. His name is
Herman S. Davis, and the signature
is made with two swift strokes of the
pen. 1t is not mere monogram of
initials. either Though it has that an.
pearance at first), but contains the
full name, H. S. Davis, and also the
year. month and day of his birth. #
can also be read exactly the same

Want No Fun on Sunday.

Women in Washington are beginning
to regret the introduction of the Sun
day entertainment, for the round of
social activity in the capital now
counts seven days in the week. 1t is
said that Mrs. Taft as soon as she
enters the White House will frown
upon the practice The innovation be-
gan with the diplomatic set, and was
encouraged by Mrs. Perry Belmont
and Mrs. George w. Vanderbilt and
other New York women who spend part
OF each season in Washington. Then
Mrs John R. Mclean conceived the
idea of Sunday breakfasts; at Friend
ship, her place, ten miles from the
city, and society suddenly found it had
practically resigned it's Sunday to
social duties as exacting as those on
other days of the week. Clergymen
preached against the tendency from
the pulpit, but the entertainments
were kept up. Now, however, several
prominent women have taken the situ-
alton in hand and promise to restore
Sunday to it's old quiet and restful in
activity.

'Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. 9Th, 1908.
ITO the Commissioner of Immigra-
ton, Winnipeg, Manitoba.-Dear Sir:
|, in company with my brother and
other relations, arrived in this coun-
try in the spring of 1893 At the time
we got off the train at Wolseley, Sask..
we had only few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account,
SO we were compelled to work out for
a considerable time in order to make
sufficient money to enable us to es-
tabllsh ourselves. When, we thought
we had enough money to start with,
and my brother took up one quarter
section Q60 acres) land each in the
Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved
on our hcmesteads with one team OF
horses and one walking pillow. While
l was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built a shack and
barn of logs, which we have hauled
during the time we were not able to
work in the field We were certainly
working very hard, but l am glad to
say that we made our fortune in this
country To-day we do not need to
work so hard as we used To, as we
have three men hired steady for
whom we pay $4,000 to $4,000 q month,
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! l am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners of
section and three-quarters of the best
land, with first class buildings thereon,
besides having all the necessary ma
chinery- We always do our own
threshing, for we have q % horse
power threshing outfit.
Our success in farming in this
country also enabled us to get rid of a
number of horses Of less value. and
instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares,
representing a value in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000
Regarding raising grain, which is
the main factor in our district, I am
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as 35 bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we suf-
fered from lack of sufficient rain, our
wheat went 27 bushels to the. acre,
and we had 900 acres in crop. We
have broken this year about 100 acres
new land, and by next year we will
have about LILO acres in crop. For
one carload of wheat which we have
shipped few weeks ago we got a
price of 81 cents per bushel, and it
graded as No. q Northern, although we
have a quantity Of wheat which will
surely go as. No. L Northern During
the six years, we have been farming
for ourselves we have never had one
frost around here, SO that we always
had good crop.
I, for myself, feel compelled to- say
that our Great West is the land where
person who is willing to work and
trrn his hands to anything, can make
fortune, and a comfortable living.
Our country is thoroughly free coun.
try, and we have good Government;
and, as long as we have good crops.
and good Government, we are salts
fed, and I think that is all we want.
