AS we walked up town we went thru
the City Park. II is about as large
as four of our city blocks and has a
wonderful display of flowers. This is
one OF the surprising things of Can
ada. You expect to ind flowers in
the south. but have never seen any
section OF the country where so much
pains has been taken to have flowers
and beautiful plants In the public
parks. Lethbridgs has one OF the fin-
est ower-garden-city-pa In Canada.
Lethbridge. like Canon City depends
upon coal mines and agriculture for its
business support. 1t is city of about
$4,000 people. Is a little larger and
has finer business and public build
ings than our town. 1t hasn't our
orchards and trees. of course. No city
in Western Canada has.
We have seen few coal sections In
Canada. We have seen no coal section
here. but are told that the coal mines
are close. Lethbridge does not look
like coal mining town. But they say
that the Leth5ridge district produces
fourteen million dollars worth Of coal
year.
Lethbridge is known as the fnan-
eial center and wholesale distributing

COLORADO PACKING CORPORATION
WILL Open CENTRAL APPLE HOUSE
The Skating Rink Will Be Used to Pack Out
Tree Run for Shipment; Higher Price
Than Ever Known Before to Be Paid.

The Colorado Packing Corporation
will open the skating rink as central
packing house ZOE apples Thursday
morning. They will begin accepting
canning and cider apples on Monday,
September Is. Otis Schlaf will have
charge of the buying for the company
this year and Mearell Kissinger will
have charge of the packing plant.
The c. z. c. will pay on contracts
60 cents hundred for canning apples
nd 40 cents hundred for cider apes.
Other grades will bring higher price.
The central packing idea during
1916 proved boon to the reputation
OF Canon City for pack and uadoubt-
edlS it will this year. too Unfortu-
nately in years past Canon City has
not had a top-notch record for pack.
but it is the hope and aim of the pack
ing corporation to further an excel
lent reputation for tn ,ecommunity by
putting out tier pack in strict con-
formity to the ru es and regulations Of
the Northwest Fruitgrowers standard.
IL was proven in 1916 and 1917 that
the central packing idea is big ad-
vantage to the grower because it en-
ables h:m to sell his entire crop tree
run. and the only problem he has to
face is that of getting pickers The
packing and shipping will be looked
after by the corporation who this year
wi not pack for custom, but will buy
the crops outright.
Mr.. Schlaf is ready to talk to the
growers about the C. P c. proposition
at any time, and informs The Record
that his day phone is Canon 20S and
his night phone is Canon 1872 rings.
Mr. Troutman. president of the COM
pany, in speaking OF the new venture
this morning. said: I'VE have placed
the price for apples juts as high as
We possibly could commensurate with
safe business - We WIN buy the en-
tire tree-run crop of the orchard;sts
at price and under conditions that
will enable them to make more money
than they have for many years We
have opened the packing house to en-
able us to handle all the various ship
ping grades as well as the Gamers and
the elders. and because of this we are
confident that considering that we
take the entire crop the grower will,
in al probabi ity. not get bet er
proposition than we are giving. do
not say this in boastful way, but
rather as statement of fact which I
am sure will prove true. We would
like to have the growers talk the mat
ter over with our Mr.. Sch af or any of
the officers of the company anyway
before they consider other marketing
plans

City Of Red Deer
BY coneressman Guy q. Hardy.

Midway between Calgary and Ed
monitor. 100 miles distant from each, Is
the pretty town of Red Deer. Built
on the shores of the Red Deer River.
this town of $500 people nestles in a
valley the sides of which are clothed
with spruce and poplar trees.
We awoke here the other morning
and got out OF our cars for breakfast.
We were given a fine country town
breakfast in the armory. Flowers
were bestowed upon the ladies in gem
erous punches. The country had had
a fine rain during the night-a much
needed rain-so the roads were little
soft for driving. but some of the party
saw a good deal of the country.
At the breakfast we had several
speeches telling us of the country
around Red Deer. I can never get up
much enthusiasm in a speech at break
fast. so / had one of the other boys
respond.
One of the speakers was Senator
Kitchener. who lives at Red Deer. The
Dominion government Of Canada has
a senate as well as a lower house.
They are appointed by the Crown for
life They draw a salary OF $500 q
year. The senate has about the Same
functions as our own senate, but is
not quite SO independent The Cana
dian senate usually approves the
measures passed by the house. When.
ever IL disagrees with the house there
is talk of abolishing it. There is also
some talk of having its members
elected for term Of years. OF course
there is always some talk of changing
the form OF government everywhere.
We have people in the United States
who do not believe in any government
at all.
About forty miles south OF Red Deer
the character Of the country changes
from open prairie, gradually becoming
more un6ulating and more thickly
wooded as one travels North Here is
one of the finest and best farming

adjacent to Calgary considerable coal
mining is carried on and agriculture
from a small beginning has developed
into a great basis industry. Many OF
the ranches have now been broken up
into farms. but the. livestock industry
is an industry of great Importance to

more business than any other grain

gas is furnished by the Calgary Gas
Company. The price for gas for do

Of good coal for domestic use is $500

$500 to s4.50 per ton.
The public school system of the city
is particularly excellent. There are
fifty-six schools and school sites
owned by the Calgary Public School
Board, There is Normal School and
two High Schools. The Institute of
Technology and Art for the Province
Of Alberta is also established in Cal
gary. This Institute has undertaken
q very comprehensive scheme in con-
nection with the vocational training OF
partially disabled soldiers. The City
OF Calgary has contributed generously
of its manhood to the support of the
Canadian army overseas. More than
10000 soldiers were recruited and
sent overseas from the. City of Calgary
alone, In addition to the many soldiers
sent overseas from the territory imme-
diately adjacent to the city.
Calgary has for many years been
headquarters for the E Division Royal

will always be associated with the
history OF Calgary.

The City Of Calgary
BY Guy U. Hardy.

Before going up into Western Can
ada think I had heard more of Cal
gary than OF any other city in that
vast section. | have heard OF several
people who purchased lots In Calgary
for $500 or $500 and values grew so
fast that they couldn't, or didn't, sell
out before they were worth $50 900
That was in the boom days. OF course.
Calgary, at the junction OF the Bow
and Elbow rivers. was really discoy-
cred by Capt Briseboss. who came here
in 1875 with detachment of North.

son Bay Company the leading enter.
prise. In 1883 the c. p. r. came thru.
In 1884 Calgary was town of SEQ pee
Pile. in 1894. the year came to Canon
City. Calgary had 1000 people. Today
1t is one OF the most progressive cities
of Canada with 10000 or 20, 600 people
well built and alive to all opportuni-
ties.
We arrived in Calgary in the early
afternoon The mayor and a bunch of
live young business men met us at the
train with cars for a drive. After see
ing the town the ladies' were taken
to the home of the American consul
for garden party. In the evening
we had a nice dinner served at the
Hudson Bay Company's store. which is
the leading department store in town.
II is the leading department store in a
good many towns.
AT the dinner we had the usual
speeches, which are always interest
ing and pleasant. We also had some
unusual speeches which were unusu-
ally pleasant. Mr.. Benz, z. Herbert of
Chicago. on behalf OF the N. F. A..
made some very complimentary re-
marks about the retiring president of
the N. +. A. and presented him with
handsome gold-banded cane that will
look well in Washington. d. c.. or
any other place. for that matter He
also presented the president and his
wife with q purse containing a draft
for a tidy sum for the purchase of
some nice large piece OF silver for the
family table that will be- happy
memento of the trip for many years to
come. The secretary was presented
with silk umbrella and Mr.. VIM
Wilke, who has been manager OF trans
portation for this trip. with gold ring,
bearing the emblem Of the N. Il. A.
These services were very pleasant
indeed - something like Christmas
morning--when you were still the
beneficiary OF Santa Claus-and be-
fore you became that old rogue's
hacker. There is pleasure. you know,
in playing both roles.

The morning after leaving Calgary
we ha dthe consciousness that the
train was standing still in the yards
of Lethbridge. for We knew that that
was where we were supposed TO be
up In the morning. bur we didn't take
the trouble to really wake up until we
were aroused fully by the unusual
strains or music from bagpipe band

no easy job TO serve breakfast for
200 hungry people. but the ladies of
Lthbridge did II very nicely.
II was not particularly pleasant
breakfast for us. for We were leaving
the party at this point and II was to
be the last meal we would ever eat
with this bunch of good friends.
Here the retiring president took a
seat near tho door to get away easily
and the new vice president sat at the
head OF the table.
Finally when the time came for our
little party OF Colorado folks to steal
away In order to catch our train going
south we tried to do It unnoticed. but
the vice president called the early
morning banquetcrs to their feet and
with cheers and expressions of bon
voyage they waved us a fond farewell.
II was rnther sad parting--a rather
touching scene--for Us who ware lesv-
ing the party. Those who remained
