LORD STRATHCONA Is DEAD

One of the Most Noted of the Build
ers of Canada Dies in London.
London, England.-Lord Strathcona
and Mount Royal. high commissioner
for Canada, died here.
Death was due to prostration, the
result of severe attack Of catarrh.
He had been ailing, however, since
the death of his wife last November,
which proved a great shock.
Lord Strathcona's life spanned near
ly century and his active career a
full three-quarters. "The best way
to live to an old age" he explained,
when found at his desk in London
on his ninety-third birthday anniver-
sary on August 6, last, lis by not
thinking about age at all, but just
going on doing your work"
From his eighteenth year, when, as
Donald Smith, a sturdy Scot, he sailed
for Canada, to his ninety-fourth year,
which would have been completed in
next August, he lived up to his maxim
of work. For the past six years he
had been periodically reported as
about to resign" the post of high
commissioner for Canada, but it was
death and not his resignation that ter
minated his work.
