From Canada.

Hull, OaSk June ~.
Editor Herald: According to
promise I will send you a few
lines about this country. l am a
little late in doing so, but have
been very busy. We arrived
here the lest days of March, and
found the farmers seeding. This
is q prairie country. very much
like Grant county. There are a
few trees scattered here and
there, and in some parts, when
seen at a distance, look as if
they we're planted by man. We
have had just rain enough to
keep the crops growing. and |
never saw them look better in
any country. The new raj lway
mas built q station here and is
extending the line to Lethbridge.
What we need is more Yankees
to break up the country and
make it look as if the white man
lived here. The Canadians are
SLOW in improving the country,
bu, the people are coming in by
thousands to the government
land west of where I am located.
A cordial welcome is extended TO
the new conner here. l will be
glad to give any other informa
ton to any Grant county people
who contemplate coming to this
country. Yours truly,
M. L PAMENT.

Building and Equipment viii
Cost $4,000.
OPEN SESSION THURSDAY
Plans for the Gymnasium Are Design.
ed by Architect W. r. Clarke, OF
Phoebus-Prospeets for Coming
Session Very Good.

Old Point Comfort College, which
will begin its thirteenth session
Thursday and is under the direction
of the Xaverian Brothers, is soon to
have new gymnasium, which will
cost $4,000.
Brother Marcellus, the director of
the college, yesterday announced that
the plans for the new gymnasium
have been completed by Architect w.
+. Clarke, of Phoebus, and that the
bids on the construction of the build
ing will be asked for within the next
two weeks. Brother Marcellus de-
clared that the gymnasium is going to
be thoroughly complete and fitted up
with the very best equipment. The
college several years ago introduced
the military features and the addition
of the gymnasium is expected to offer
a much better opportunity for train
ing the boys for military duties.
Brother Huber, who has been a
teacher in the college for several
years, has been transferred to West
Virginia. and will be succeeded here
by Brother Stephens. Brother Ernest
ndo pScH Stht " uIOtuti otdtiOH' du's
Brother Angelus, who taught in the
college several years ago, will be re-
turned from the coming session as
the successor to Brother Ernest.
1t is said that the session on Thurs
day will open with the largest en-
roliment of the college since 1t opened
thirteen years ago. In fact, the indi-
cations point strongly to the school
outgrowing itself in the next year or
so. when the Brothers contemplate
tory and school building.
Old Point Comfort College is locat-
ed between PhOebus and Buckroe
Beach on the Buckroe line OF the
Newport News and Old Point Railway
and Electric company.

DEATH CLAIMS "J0E",
CLEVER MAN HUNTER
Last of the Pair of Thoroughbred
Blood Hounds, Purchased by City
Council Died SUNDAY NQht.

"Joe," the last of the pair of blood
hounds purchased about a year ago
by the Hampton city council from a
kennel in Pennsylvania, is dead, and
1t is not likely that the city will again
buy dogs to replace the pair. Joe
was considered one of the smartest
young bloodhounds in this section and
he was rapidly developing into real
sleuth under the training of Deputy
Sheriff Edwin S. Curtis. He con-
tracted a cold several days ago and
finally passed away Sunday night
"Joe's" mate died a few days after
the bloodhounds arrived here from
Pennsylvania, having contracted pneu-
uonia from the change Of climate, as
the dogs were shipped here in dead
o. winter.
Joe" had never made a brilliant
capture of thief. but he had demon
strated his sleuthing ability on sew
eral occasions by running down a
"trusty" sent out from Hampton at
night.

ANIMALS AT HOME
and In SPORT
Ernest Thompson Seton Gives
Interesting Lecture in
Friends Meeting House

Wolf-howls, elk hght-calls. marmot
whistles, and coyote yappings were heard
from the precincts of the Friends Meet
ing-house, at Fourth and West streets.
early yesterday afternoon And il any
passer-by had stepped inside he would
have seen elk charging at him, ana huge
grizzly bears looking inquiring,y at him,
and coyotes chasing dogs while little
''picket-pin" gophers occupied the or
chesra seats. The. Zoo had not been trans
ported hither-lt was worse than that be-
cause there were no bars between the wild
animals and the passer-by.
However. their keeper was near at
hand. Ernest Thompson Seton, so several
hundred passers-by including the pup Is
Of Friends School, mustered up courage
to go in. The curious part was that Mr..
Seton, and not the animals. gave these
calls and so great was his power over the
animals that a look was sufficient to make
them vanish and new stereopticon slide
take their place. 1t is pretty certain that
every boy present win try to copy those
weird and shivery noises that Mr.. Seton
so perfectly rendered.
The lecturer told OF a Wilmington boy
who wanted to go West and be an Indian
70 he wouldn't have to learn to read but
that boy was dreadfully mistaken. Indians
have to learn to read animal-tracks. For
instance tracks q birds with two prints
parallel showed tree inhab ter who hop
ped on the ground. while tracks zlg-zag
showed a bird used TO the ground rather
than trees a mans tracks m ingline with
those OF the deer he was following show
cd an inexperienced hunter-ah old hunter
keeps wide Of the track to prevent the
deers discovering his presence.
Toes turned out indicate a city man
woodsman walks with toes straight
ahead A pet raccoon tipping over some
ink taught tho speaker how to get good
animal track prints. His graphic descr.p-
tlon of the coon and the landlady nearly
sent the children into Mysteries. He told
OF taking photographs at long distance,
by using twenty feet of ruber tubing
and a bicycle pump to click the shut er.
This gave some cunning views of baby
birds with their mamma MT Seton told
amusing and pathetic nfe-histories Of rab-
bits, bears dogs. ground squirrels and
other beasts. lie spoke of giving the wolf
call in a zoo, and how the animals re-
sponded in 15-minute chorus. Most ex-
citing was the picture of the grizzly bear
coming right straight at you in Yellow
stone Park. Mr.. Thompson Seton is a
great favorite with Friends School pu-
pills ana their grown-up friends, and he
was enthusiastically applauded.
