Edmonton
Coming City
Of Dominion

Edmonton, Alta, Dec 2S.-Progres-
slve legislation, including the single
tax and municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities, is the special study of
W. G. Egggleston, representing the
Peoples Power Press Bureau Of Port
land, Ore, who is in Edmonton on
the western lap of tour of the prin-
cipal cities of the United States and
Canada, He looks upon Edmonton as
the finest city that has yet come
under his observation, and he is fav-
orably impressed with the methods
employed by the rural municipalities,
organized towns and incorporated
cities in the province of Alberta.
Every visitor remembers his first
experience in the Canadian west7 Or.
Eggleston said, "The thing that inn
presses one is the spirit OF the coun-
try The people believe in the cities
and surrounding country and in
themselves and they back their OPP

tiles, which are owned and operated
by the municipality What is more, l
did not hear a single complaint
against the improvement and better

A Christmas
Story That
Is Different
(Mornlng Astorlan.)

! When Fred Thalin arrived from
Young's River for a pre-Xmas cele
! bratlon he tied his boat at the foot Of
18th street, on the 23rd day Of this
month. The combination Of % and
10 evidently proved too much for him
for In the wee sma' hours Of the morn
Ing he was fished out Of the bay near
the Calender dock and taken into the
Mirror Saloon to revive; and in the
flare Of the electric lights he was un-
able to account for compass, Ian
tern, a clock and a box of cigars in
his possession, which belonged on the
launch Columbia. He was taken to
the city jail by officer Howard to jog
his memory
Yesterday morning, John Anderson,
part owner Of the launch found that
window had been broken open and
various articles that had been aboard
the vessel when she was locked up
the night before were not there then.
He reported the incident to the po-
lice. Captain Houghton showed him
the articles taken from Thalln and he
identified them as those missing from
the Columbia, Anderson made a posi-
tive gdantfffootfnu nP aUaptstbinU nv
cept the lemons. He said that pack
ages of that kind always looked alike
to him.
When ThaliD recovered his equil-
lbrlum yesterday he denied any inten-
tion on his part to steal. 1t seems
he had anchored his boat upon his ar
rival from Youngs river, near the
Columbia, and when he ran short of
.he necessary funds to continue his
Dre-Xmas celebration, he thought Of
no better collateral to replenish his
oxchequer with than the numerous
lrticles aboard his boat, The plan in
tself was all right, but he happened |
o get into the wrong boat How !
much he expected to realize on the =.
,ag of lemons he did not state Lem
made isn't very popular at Xmas
ime.
Thalin took the compass ashore
irst and then returned for the other
rticles. It was on this last trip that
e miscalculated the distance between
he boat and the dock. When he was
ulled from the stream he still gal
lntly clung to the sack Of lemons and

Thalin will be tried in the justice
ourt Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.

TO FIT THE CRIME.

THERE is a very wide, and no
doubt a very honest divergence
Of opinion on capital punishment
Those favoring It are compelled as
last resort in the argument to point
out that, anyway It Is a deterrent, the
terrible punishment OF death tending,
as they argue to prevent others from
committing murder
II II would do this, there would GER
talnly be less objection, but does IT,?
Capital punishment has been the law
Of practically all civilized countries,
time immemorlal, but there are as
many murders today as at any time In
the past
Just what punishment that could
take the place OF the death penalty, is
a problem hard to answer About the
only one 30 far suggested is "llfe i'm
prIsonment without the possibility Of
pardon" This is all right, so far as
II goes, but II strikes us II should 90
further.
Under our present penal system,
conylcts are hired out, and a small
sum is set apart from their earnings,
which Is given them when their SEN
tences expire, and they are again set
at liberty This Is undoubtedly a
good system for It gives the freshly
freed man few dollars with which to
support himself until he can find em-
ployment, and with which to get away
from the place Of his confinement
Why would It not be a good plan, in
case OF murderers sent up for life to
apply this system. Furnish them
with employment at which they can
earn more than their keep Then, !
instead Of turning the earned surplus |
over to the prisoner as would be the |
case II he were set free-turn II over

upon his victim for their support
Make the punishment M the crime"
Make the slayer in a small way. take
the place OF his victim. Make him by
HIS toll support so far as possible,
those whom he robbed Of their main
stay husband brother, son or father.
This would be an act Of retributlvo
Justice, and In some cases. at least,
would be an additional punishment to
that Of being deprived of liberty why |
is it not right to make the man who |
kills the father Of a family Of small |
children, for instance, take the place |
of that father as proyider for them, |
80 far as Il can be done?
We believe this would be at least |
step In the right direction and would |
suggest to our legislators that it be |

HEATING ORCHARDS TO
PROTECT FRUIT FROM FROST

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside appears an article showing
how science enables the fruit farm
ers to make a thrilling fight against
Jack Frost. Following is an extract
containing some account of scientific
orchard heating:
mo longer need the fruit grower
suffer a crop failure No longer is
fruit production the gamble it used
to be, for, with the intervention of
science, neither frost, insect, nor dis
ease can give the grower off years
when he receives no income from his
high-priced land.
Spraying and heating go hand in
hand, Jack Frost is now driven back
from the tender blossoms and fruit
by a process of heating which is fast
becoming popular. Scientific orchard
heating is a new thing, but sure
thing, and a 200-acre orchard can
have its temperature raised ten to fif-
teen degrees with absolute certainty.
Orchard heating was first prac-
ticed in California, though smudging,
or the formation Of a dense blanket
of smoke over orchards, had been
practiced in Europe before. In 1908,
some Grand Valley fruit growers in
Colorado practiced orchard heating
with the burning of oil in simple pots
Of the lard-pail type, with the result
that they saved their crop. Since
then the fruit growers of Colorado
have saved annually four or five mil
lion dollars worth Of fruit.
Several types of heaters have been
invented. Oil and coal are used for
fuel. 1t is claimed by many that oil
is the best all-round fuel. 1t lights
easier. The heaters are placed at
intervals throughout the orchard, one
to tree if the setting is from seven
ty-five to ninety trees per acre. If
small heaters are used, double or
treble the number. All moisture must
be eliminated from the fuel used The
heaters are made ready with fuel be-
forehand.
when the temperature falls within
a degree Of the danger-point, the
fires are lighted. If oil is used, make
a torch Of gas-pipe, and to light the
oil throw on about teaspoonful of
gasoline. The ignition is immediate
and the generation of heat begins.
while the heater raises the tenn
perature some, the real purpose is
holding it against fall. Under the
most favorable conditions the heated
zone has been held to a point of safe
ty when the outside thermometer
reached sixteen degrees. Eighteen
and twenty degrees are easily carried
through with safety. Conditions vary.
A wind makes the work more diff
cult. A young orchard requires more
heaters than an old one, and garden
truck twice as many"
