THE COMING OF sKOvGAARD.

The Music Study Club Pensacola is only recently
organized, but its influence is already being exerted
in such way as to mean much for the development
Of that finer spirit of the community life without
which there is always something lacking.
The announcement OF the coming of Skovgaard, the
great Danish vionist to Pensacola, under the aus
pices of the Music Study Club. marks a new era in
things musical
There is much latent talent in Pensacola and
much that has been highly developed But strange
~ enough there has that realizing sense of
the important place that music must take in the life
of the nation and the people. if they are to reach
that higher plane of living which marks real
progress.
Skovgaard is of the great musical figures of
modern life He is one of the Immortals whose name
will go down in the history of music He has sur
rounded himself with musicians who are finished
and worth while. making a splendid background for
the music of his violin
1t has been many years since such musician has
visited the United States and that such an one
ranking he does with the immortal Ole Bull Of
world fame should visit Pensacola is gratifying and
the Music Study Club deserves the appreciation of
every music lover in Pensacola and all believe
in the refining influences of the Arts
Skovgaard will appear at the San Carlos auditorium
doubtless be present to show all honor to this
great Danish composer and vionst, not only for his
own sake. but evidence their APPRECIATION of
the efforts of the Music Study Club in bringing him

to Take Over Old Hudson
 Bay Co. Ranch

Smithers, B. C., Feb 4.-The Hud- sons Bay Co.'S old ranch in the heart of the Bulkley Valley on the Grand Trunk Pacific man line, known throughout the Northwes. as the "Black Jack" Mcdonnell ranch, has been taken over by the Cana dian Soldier Settlement Board, di, vided into farms and allotted to four returned soldiers.
 The ranch of $40 acres which is seven miles from Smithers, was es tablished by the Rudson's Bay Co. in the closing days of the last cen tury to supply food and farm pro ducts to argonauts who followed the Telegraph trail through the Rocky mountains, the Blackwater country, Quesnel, and the Bulkley Valley on their way to the Klondike gold fields. It was the last supply point for the gold seekers on their long and dangerous journey through the northern wilderness. It was called in those days "Last Chance" ranch.
 This ranch is distinct from the lands which the Hudson's Bay Co. is throwing open for farm settlement. These lands are distributed through every township in Alberta, Saskatch- evan and Manitoba south of the North Saskatchewan river and in- cludes 3,00O,O00 acres.
 Old telegraph trail passes thru the ranch. The trail was first open ed about 1860 and was once part of the transcontinental highway used by colonists before the railway went through to the Pacific coast. It was travelled by such an army of gold seekers during Klondikc days that it is still plainly marked, though now little used.
