CENTENARY OF LAST
 BATTLE OF THE CIVIL WAR


 Just half a century ago today the last battle of the civil war between the northern and southern states was fought in Texas. The terrible con- flict practically ended with the sur render of Lee at Appomattox on the ninth of April, 1865. but even after the leader of the Confederate forces gave in and admitted that the cause for which he had battled so gaIIantly was lost, several other Confederate chieftains held out for a time longer. Seventeen days after Lees final de- feat, Johnston surrendered his shat tered, tattered forces at Durham Station, N. c. Taylor held out until the sixth of May, when he surrender ed at CitornelIe, Ala.
 The final battle of the war was a Confederate victory. It was fought at Pa1mito Ranch, in Texas, on the site where, nineteen years before Gen. Taylor with 2,000 Americans had defeated Arista's 5000 Mexicans in the first conflict of the war be- tween the United States and Mexico. Gen. Slaughter was the Commander of the little Confederate force which faced the FederaIs under Col Bar rett in western Texas on that May day in 1865, After a short but bloody battle the Union force gave way and the Confederates were left in pos session, of the field and the enjoy ment of their last victory.

ANOTHER QUESTION FOR THE MAYOR

MAYOR WILSON were more attentive to the congrulties A of public life he would scarcely have made his speech eong Warrene minutes after the leader of his party John T. King had praised what he described the breaking of the construction pool"
 That it should be deemed matter for pulie credit to re store copeton building and at the time for public competition has been destroyed in street paving putting much of strain the mind offthe ordinary citizen.
 If competition for the city is just good when 5000o worth of pavement to be purchased as when few thousand dollars worth of to be built.
 But if competition is bad then the city has occasion to be joyful because it has been restored to sewers.
 Competition It enables the city to get better goods cheaper. Mr. King $6ooo i'll the structon of a single
 Competition in paving would bring: equal savings The Newark Board of Trade which has investigated Newarks says that under specifications competition from cents yard may be this type of road surface.
 This saving s8oooo to $oooo in every stoooo expended
 King may rejoice saving of $36O00 $100O00 why Mayor Wilson exto method buying pavement which takes $1O0OOO time, and doesn't anything?
 Perhaps Mayor Wilson will answer this quesion-WIIY IS TT GOOD TO HAVE COMPETITION SEWERS BUT NOT GOOD HAVE COMPETITION IN PAVING?

CANADIAN HISTORY.


 The first Canadian history was the work of Mare Lescarbot, a French man, who sailed away from his native land 309 years ago today. May IS. 1e6O, to settle in Nova Scotia Lescar- bots History of New France" was the first volume of its kind. and from it's pages have been drawn the ma terial used by many later historians EThe record of the trials and suffer- ings and privations, Une sriumphs and failures, of the sons and daugh- ters of France who carried civi1iza- tion to the shores of the St. Lawrence and to Nova Scotia, is more interest ing than any romance, and Francis Parkman and a host of other success sors of Mare Lescarbot have found in the early hist<-y of Canada the material for tales as thrilling as any fiction. Mare Lescarbot had been 8 lawyer in France, but tired of the "corrupt wor1dss and joined an expedi- ton to Baron de Poutrincourt's colony at Port Royal. on the west coast of Nova. Scotia. The voyage across the Atlantic occupied two months and was followed by many adventures. Lescarbot's history was a brilliant and viyacious work, and gives an ac- curate picture of life in the little set dement's where Frenchmen fought gallantly against the forces of nature and the treacherous savages which constantly threatened them.

rendered the last Confederate army in
 Texas, and the war was over.
 Although the Confederacy made it's last stand in the Lone Star state,
 Texas did not secede from the Union and join the Confederacy without a. struggle upon the part of the leaders who were loyal to the old flag. Sam
 Houston, who was governor of Texas
 at the outbreak of the war, earnestly advocated the Union cause, and was sdeposed when Texans finally decided
 to cast in their lots with the Confed- crazy. In a remarkable speech at the opening of the war Gen Houston de- scribed the development and result of the conflict
 J The battle at Palrnito Ranch
 brought to a close the hostilities be-
 tween the north and south, but the ] legal termination of the war has long been a subject of dispute The Unit ed States supreme court has been call ed upon several times to mark the legal termination of the war, but in various decisions hinging on this point different dates have been given. The l United States government decided fthat the conflict closed on the first of. June, 1885, but that is only an ar ] bitrary dateI without special signifi- canoe, adopted for the sake of con- years after the war, the United States congress officially ended the war on
 August 20, 1868. Practically, how evers the war ended fifty years ago
 today, for it was on that, date. in Texas, that the last gun was fired.
 The few Confederates who kept the
 field after that surrendered without
 resistance, except in isolated instances l which did not attain to the dignity
 of battles.
 l It is a noteworthy coincidence that the civil war ended on the spot where
 the Mexican war commenced. Not 1 only that,> but the battle of Palnlito l Ranch fell 6n the nineteenth ami versary of President Folks procla-

 The performance of "The Village SchooIma ann by Bedding Grange on Friday and Saturday evenings of last week attracted large and well pleased audiences. It was the general verdict that each dramatic undertaking by the grange shows an improvemnt over it's predecessor, a result naturally due to increased experience and the at tenda1at proficiency.

DIR. ANDERSON.

pr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the famous English woman physician who was recently asked by Lord itchener to organize 8 big military hospital in London and take entire charge of it, was born in 1886, but she is still ae- tive and alert in spite of her seventy nine years. pr. Anderson began the study of medicine in 1860, but the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons refused to admit her tQ their examin- ations, and. after receiving a, license from the Society of Apothecaries. she went to France to pursue her medical studies. She received the degree of M D. from the University of Paris in 1870, and has ever since been engag- ed in practice. She was long senior physician to the New Hospital for Women and dean of the London School of Medicine for Women. She married the late J. G. s. Anderson, a shipowner, in 1871, soon after grad uating from medical college. Dr. An 5erson's services in caring for the sick and wounded soldiers since the war began have made her a national heroine, and she has been given the rank of major by Earl Kitchener. Dr. Anderson has been a lifelong work CT in the suffrage cause, and in her gir1hood was associated with the pro- pagauda of John Stuart Mill and John Bright In 1908 Drl Anderson waz
