monts past. Ishi recently contracted
pneumonia, and for a time it looked

Northern California in all kinds of

and rudely prepared meats, Ishi was
stranger to illness. But two months

Parliament, which opens Nov. Is.
Canada Not Hostile.
"As l am on n holiday, and a much
needed one, l don't care to enter into
a discussion of public affairs" said
the Canadian leader. Il will say this
however: The verdict of the Cauadi-
an people on the issues submitted to
them at the recent elections were not
induced by any spirit of unfriendliness
to the United States. No such spirit
exists. The proposals of the Canadi-
an government We're regarded as a de-

thirty years, and the people did not
desire to reverse that policy"
