Lord Strathcona has had one Of the
most picturesque careers of the great
men of the past and present century.
Donald Alexander Smith. as his name
was before becoming peer of Great
Britain, was born in Scotland in 1920.
At an early age he entered the service
of the Hudson Bay Company in a sub
ordinate position and endured great
hardships as he steadily rose to be
resident governor of the corporation,
being the last to hold the position.
He was governor of the company af.
ter the resideney was abolished, and
at the same time director Of the st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Rail-
way, and of the Canadian Pacific Rail
way, having been a member OF the
syndicate that started the latter cor
poration. . -.
Smith was a member of the first
executive council of the Northwest
territory, afterward serving in the
Manitoba legislature, and later repre-
senting suecessively Manitoba and
a Montreal constituency in the Domin.
ion house of commons. Knighted in
1886, he was made the first Baron
StraIhcona in 1886. Since 1886 he has
been high commissioner for Canada In
London, attending closely to the du.
ties Of the. office until the very last.
He visited Montreal and New York
on private business last summer,

RAILROAD ENGINE MEN ISSUE
STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC

Anticipating strike OF all Loco-
motive Engineers, Firemen and Host
lers ON practically all Western Raj
reads, a pamphlet has been issued by
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen for
the express purpose of placing before
the public information concerning the
causes of the strike, should It occur.
Briefly stated, the facts are as fol-
lows:
In October of 1913, committees re-
presenting all Locomotive Engineers,
Firemen and Holsters on Western
Railroads presented request to their
respective Managers for an increase
in wages and improved working con-
ditions, accompanying such request
with the usual notice, required by ex-
listing schedules, that within thirty
days the schedules would be opened
for these revisions.
Immediately the Railroad Manage
ments served notice on the Engine
mems Committees that all existing
schedules would be terminated with
in thirty days, thus, for the first time
in the history of railway wage nego-

DOOM OF THE FLY.

The doom of the germ carrying fly
is seen in a new discovery announ-
ced by the department of agriculture
Saturday. Its use is declared to as
sure the complete determination Of
the common household pest that is
largely blamed for spreading typhoid
The method consists only of the
sprinkling of small amount of ordi-
nary borax daily upon household and
stable refuse.

tiations, taking from railway employe
schedules that had required more tina
thirty yeas, in many instances, to
build up.
The Railroads then proposed that a
service period" be substituted for
the mileage basis of pay, basis long
in effect ON practically all railroads.
Negotiations between committees
representing the railroads and the en-
ginemen eliminated in both of these
committees submitting revised pro-
positions, the railroads insisting up
ON a modified form of their" Service
period" and the enginemen insisting
upon retaining the mileage basis of
pay and allowance for extra work as
In the past.
Upon submitting the matter to the
Engineers, Firemen and Holsters en-
poyed on Western Railroads 1t was
learned that by an almost unanimous
vote the proposition of the Managers
was rejected and strike approved.
Upon the supposition that the Fed
eral Board of Mediation and Concilia-
ton will propose arbitration, as d.
reoted in the present Federal Law,
the enginemen will necessarily reject
any proposition to arbitrate, because
in all recent arbitrations- railroads
have repudiated arbitration awards
and have not been bou1d thereby.
The foregoing is but the preface of
to the lengthy statement which &C.
cupies thirty or forty printed pages
issued by the Grand Chief Eng neer
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and the president Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen.
CHICAGO-Danger of a strike of
the engine crews of western railroads
was deferred Friday night, when the
representatives of the men accepted
an offer of mediation by William L.
Chambers, chairman of the federal
board of mediation and Cancellation.
The meeting with the full board will
begin here on July 20.
The offer of mediation by Mr..
Chambers came as a result Of re-
quest by A. w. Trenholm, chairman
of the committee of general managers.
which was made in spite of a formal
announcement that the employees
would decline to accept mediation and
charges that the railroads had hereto
fore refused to abide by the findings
of arbitration boards.

WOMAN'S WAY

The Carroll County Times says:
For more than sixteen centur es the
thunders of the pulpit have been
launched against feminine fashions
and it is not of record that lovely
woman has abated single founce
of flummery in all that me. From
hoops to hobbies, from crinoEles TO
that variety of costume best describ-
ed by the irregular term Of "breech-
aioons," she has worn what she
lleastd, and allowed her alleged lord
and master to rave, admire-and pay.
She had her own way in the early
days of the faith, despite Chrysosaom
and st. Augustine, and she viii have
it now in defiance of adj benches of
bishops and bands of assorted elders.

Commissioner at the Panama Inter
