END COMES To
FIRST HEAD Of
c. P. RAILROAD

LONDON, Nov. 3O-Lord Mount
Stephen, aged 80 years, pioneer rail
road constructor of Canada and first
president of the Canadian Pacific
Railway company, died last night At
his country residence, Brocket Hall,
Hatfield, Hertfordshire
Lord Mount Stephen was born On
June 5, 1929, at Forres in Banffshire,
Scotland, the son of William Steph-
en-. carpenter. The life story of
Lord stephen was a romance Of
early struggles against poverty, OF
rapid rise 70 eminence after he came
to Canada in 1850, Of pioneer work
in railroad construction which cul-
minated in connecting the Atlantic
and Pacific by the Canadian Pacific
railway, Of the acquisition Of
$6,OOOO 600 fortune, much of which he
gave away to relatives, and finally
of an old age spent as a peer In
historic home known as BroCket
Hall, in England, which had at times
been occupied by two prime minis
ters of England, Lord Melbourne and
Lord Palmerston.
As a boy Stephen played bare
footed in the streets OF his native
village, WAS a shepherd on the near
by bleak moors and then a Diapers
clerk Coming to Canada, he enter
ed the store of an uncle in Montreal,
a cloth merchant, whom he ultimate
ly bought out He invested his saw
iugs In Bank of Montreal stock, be
coming one Of its largest share
holders and finally it's president
About this time Stephen came
into business relations with Donald
Smith, cousin, who afterwards be-
came Lord Strathcona. Smith inter
ested him in the construction of a
railway to the Canadian west, which
be knew through his association
with it as resident governor of the
Hudsons Bay company.
Smith and Stephen joined forces
with the late J. J Hill and the trio
acouirad the ST paul & Pacific rail
road, which had failed and had
fallen into the hands of its Dutch
bondholders. The line was built
through from St Paul to Winnipeg.
The importance of this early ven
ture on the subsequent development
of the Canadian west lay in the
fact that It made the building OF
the Canadian Pacific possible, as
supplies for the construction gangs
operating in the otherwise inacces
sible prairie section passed over 1t.
Acknowledgement Of his part in the
origination and consummation OF the
Canadian Pacific came from the
shareholders who elected Stephen
the first president OF the company
and from the king who, on recon-
IN ndation OF the government Of.
Canada, conferred a baronetcy on
him in 1886 and a peerage in 1891

WHY RAISE MORE POULTRY

Poultry is a necessary factor in
farm life as a source of fresh meat
and eggs. Poultry is adapted to viii
lage and city conditions as we'll as
to the farm. The people of the city
cannot have cattle, sheep, hogs, etc,
in their city lots, but can keep poul-
try with little trouble or worry. To
the city man or woman poultry is
often carried on as a source OF plea
sure along with the other work and
gives one recreation with pay.
To the rich and poor alike poul-
try is an indispensable human food.
Nothing can take the place of pOul.
try as a food. Many havors are rep
resented and many appetizing dishes
are prepared from poultry products.
Both game and domestic tastes are
represented in the flesh. The pro-
ducts average high nourishmert.
Eggs are the most easily digested
human food. Many people subsist
on eggs when the stomach will di-
gest no other food. 1t is estimated
that seventy-five per cent of the peo-
pie eat eggs daily.
On the farm poultry is a valuable
scavenger, destroying insect pests,
utilizing the wastes from the dairy
and kitchen, and picking up grain
that would otherwise be wasted.
The products are in great demand
and are easily marketed. The de-
mand is never supplied. Good pro-
ducts are not plentiful and bring the
highest prices. The standardized
products bring the very highest pos
sihle price. To produce the best
clean and wholesome food must be
given, These products should be
marketed once or twice weekly. The
market can be very we'll foretold.
Eggs are cheapest in April, the time
OF heaviest production. and highest
in early winter, the time of lowest
production.
Compared with other live stock
enterprises II is easy to start a flock
of chickens. If one so desired he
can start small and grow gradually
with little outlay of money. Consid-
ering equipment. and stock Z re-
quires less money to start a paying
flock of chickens than any other live
stock enterprise.
Good profit can be made from
On the farm there is more
profit when the poultry raising Is
carried OH with the other farming
operations.
Knox County is at the door of one
o. the best poultry and egg markets
in the world. namely, the mining
camps of Eastern Kentucky. Knox
County is adapted to poultry rails
ing since there is nots of cheap land
and the poultry feed can be grown
at home.
Let's every body boost for more
md better poultry in old Knox

ographers because of his high place,
Is tile most fully recorded of them all
although there Is no single book
about him that seems so sure to per-
slst as the Life Of Scott" by Scotts
son-in-law, Lockhart.
1t is in the very variety and extent
of the studies of LincOln's character
that the strength Of his hold ON the
Imagination of the world Is shown.
Fifty.six years have passed since
he met his tragic death. Through all
that period the interpretations Oh MS
haracter-hlstorical analytical, po-
etical-hnve steadily increased in num-
Der. The bare facts of his unique
vet strangely typical and Significant
career, arrange themselves In per-
spcctiye like the acts of great up
lifting tragedy. II he had lived In the
days when myths were made, 1t Is
easy to imagine that In the process
of time he would have grown into
great mythical figure, King Arthur
Of tie New World, a half-divine hero
like those that we associate with the
most distant antiquity.
But lie belonged to no such period.
His age Is one of the most amply re-
corded In all history md the records
Of his life are so intertwined with
those of men and events quite with
out poetic. or heroic suggestion, that
his feet can never be wholly removed
from tho earth. Indeed. It Is much
better that no such possibility exists.
We need to know that out Of our com'
mon lIte can spring 20 extraordinary
an example at the development Of
which our human nature !s capable.
Whsn all Is sa!d and doue. when his
wisdom. his patience, his sacrifice are
fully remembered, we shall delight
pEe-eminently to recall him as the
friendly. humorous accessible lover OF
mankind.--Youth's Companion.
