ne SAVED SEVENTEEN LIVES
Death Claims the Hero Who Inquired,
at the End Of Ordeal: "Did I Do
My Best2"

Edward w. Spencer, first student
life-saver at Northwestern university
ut Evanston, ILL.,, and "the hero of the
Lady Elgin," died at Burbank, CAL, re-
Gently after lingering illness. He
was eighty-one years old.
His death recalls bit Of almost
forgotten history. In 1860 the side
wheel steamer Lady Elgin collided
with the schooner Augusta off Winet-
ka, while bound for Milwaukee, and
sank, with the loss Of the lives Of
295 passengers. Spencer's feat Of res
cuing II persons was commemorated
by the class Of 1893, which erected a
bronze memorial tablet in the Orring-
ton Lunt, library at the university June
g. 1908.
As Spencer sank with exhaustion on
completing his final trip through the
breakers and the surf, he asked the
question inscribed in the tablet. did
do my best?" His experience left
him broken in health, and he went to
California to recuperate. He lived
there until his death.

does not appear to the ordinary OBJ

probably isn't. 1t was in this district
that John Larcome, q settler, pur-
chased in 1915 100 acres Of raw prai-
rie land. He broke and seeded 50
acres. His crop turned out well, and
he sold the greater portion of 1t for
$2,070. His land cost him $3.50 per
acre, or $3.50. SO that the crop from
the 50 acres paid for the land and left
a balance Of over $500. which with
part Of the crop left over would Just
pay for the cost Of operation. This
is not really an unusual case, hundreds
of other farmers In Alberta and Sas-
katchewan having been able to do the
same.
Sales Of land are being reported
from many districts in Manitoba, Sas-
and Alberta at good prices.

"CONIRACT'" PRICE OF COAL.

1t is announced by the director of coal supply that the
government will not interfere with existing contracts. In
other words, if a retail dealer has a contract for the delivery
of coal at the top-notch price, the government proposes to let
the contract stand, although it may be far above the wholesale
price fixed by the government.
We are wondering what this is going to do to the retail
coal dealer who has the contract. Not all Of the retailers
have contracts. Suppose, for instance, that only one OF two
dealers in a town have such contracts. The other dealers
will get their coal, of course, 6. present prices and will sell
accordingly. What's the dealer with the contract going to
dog He cannot sell at all if his price is a dollar or two above
that of the dealer who had no contract.
Again, suppose the dealers at Henry and Florence and
CastleWood and other surrounding towns all had contracts,
and suppose the Watertown dealers had none. The Water
town dealers, of course, would get their coal at prevailing
prices, whereas the dealers in the surrounding towns named
would be compelled to pay the higher contract price. Could
they sell coal at all if the prices in Watertown We're a dollar or
two lower for the same kind of coal? Or, reversing the sit
uation, what sort Of a complication would the dealers in Wa
tertown find themselves to be in?
It seems to The Saturday News that the coal control de-
partment will be forced to abrogate existing contracts in Or
der to give retail dealers a square deal.
