WHY ICELAND IS GOING WET

London, March 23.-Iceland, a pioneer in prohibition, having gone dry in 1912, is about to go wet" again.
 John Magnussen, premier of Ice land. says: "Prohibition has failed. There are" he said during a visit to London, reasons of frst-claSs economic importance which call for this step. Spain, for instance, which imports a great quantity of fish from Iceland, expects us to take in re- turn a quantity of her wines"
 Did the Icelanders accept prOhi- bltion enthusiastically" MT. Mag nussen was asked.
 Enthusiasm" he said lis not an outstanding characteristic of our people. They accepted prohibition yes. they accepted it"
 Would 1t be fair to say that in teruaI pressure to remove prohibit ton is almost as strong as the eco homie reasons?"
 Well" replied the premier, "all good ministries rule by following the wishes of the public; and per haps I have heard a whisper Of dis content. chiefly from the poorer classes. The richer people make no complaints"
 Possibly they have private sourc- es of supply" suggested the Ques- tioner
 "I hope not-I hope not" said Mir. Magnussen. but I should not know If this were sol am a poor man! At all events. 1t is-Oncially owing to Spanish protests that am about to introduce a bill for the abolition of prohibition and the inn port of wines"

TORONTO PAPER GIVES
 "NIARGOT" 4 HOT ROAST

The Toronto Telegram of Tuesday hands out some red hot editorial comment on the recent visit to that city of Mrs. AsQuith. The Telegram says:
 i The AsQuith visit was farce com edy in so far as that visit began and ended with the lady's lecture. The Asquith visit was a tragedy in so far as that visit exalted one of the most common-minded and thor oughly undesirable types of women in the annals of British public life. | Nature made Mrs Asquith brilliant principally In her defiance of the re- straints of good taste, good feeling and good sense. These restraints would suffice to keep far more gift ed women than Mrs. Asquith from | attempting to shine with the bril- | liance of a stupidity that mistakes 1 stupidity for smartness.
 The parade of Mrs. Asquith in search of gate money is a humilia- ! tion to Britishers. Mrs. Asquith has i spread the smallness of her own ! babbling over the fame of men whose power was regarded as the shield and buckler of the British Empire. Lord Curzon was looked up to by Britons as a public man of Titanic genius. Lord Curzon was revealed by Mrs. Asquith as a scrib- bier of verses that are more dest tute of poetry and literary merit than the stanzas in which the Laurel correspondent of the Orangeville Banner describes a box social in the local Orange Hall
 The Asquith eruption is a re- proach to the public life of Great Britain. A woman of the quality re- vealed in Mrs. Asquith's writing and revealed in Mrs. AsQuith's lecture is not the type of woman who should ever have gained power or influence or position in the life of the British realm. If democracy in its political choices cannot exalt finer and nobler women than Mrs. H. H. Asquith, then Britons have reson to thank God for the accidents of birth that place such royal and Queenly women as Alexander, the Queen Mother; Mary of England aud her daughter the Princess Mary, high and lifted up in the leadership of British wo- manhood

HAYNES NOTES

Haines, March 2S.-By mail The basketball game played last week between the Fort Seward and the Haines teams was won by the Fort team, the H&ines boys going down to defeat to the tune of twen- ty-seven to thirteen.
 MT. F. W. McElray Is quite ill at her home, and Mir. McElray Is also ill at the Fort Seward hospital. They are surely an afflicted family, and have the sympathies of the whole community.
 Mir. Bart Kirby was arrested at Juneau on a warrant sworn out by S. Sheldon, deputy U. s. marshal, charging him with violation of the Alaska bone dry law. He was brought back to Haines and tried yesterday by a jury in the commits sioner's court, found guilty by the jury. and sentenced to pay a fine of two hundred dollars and be i'm prisoned in the federal jail for a term of six months.
 There will be a game of basketball played tomorrow evening in the A. B. hall, between the Haines Athletic club and the Native team, and it Is expected that the game will be some game. as both teams seem determin- ed to win.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON LYDIA
ROAD.

Last Monday morning, about 4
O'clock, Mr. Joe Olivier, nephew OF
Mr., Jules Olivier, of Lydia, was
brought to the Dauterive Sanitarium
with an UGLY cash in his head that
appeared to have been made with a
sharp instrument. In the absence of
any direct information foul play was
suspected, and negro eX-convict.
Tom Green, who could give no salts
factory account Of himself, was ar
rested and lodged in jail.
All day Monday the Sheriff's Of
flee worked on the foul play theory
and sought the motive.
The robbery theory was immedi-
ately exploded when Mr.. Olivier's
purse and money were found on him,
the only things missing were his hat
and watch.
As Mr.. OIivier's mind began to
clear up he told those in attendance
enough to lead them to believe he
had been struck while on the road
between Lydia and Patoutville by
an automobile.
A hat having been found in Mr..
Sebastian Patout's car Monday
morning called to his mind the fact
that something had struck his car
the night before, presumably a rock.
Upon investigation blood was
found spattered on the car and the
stanction on the back of the car
was bent and showed unmistakable
signs Of having struck some one.
Going to the point on the road
where Mr.. Patout remembered strik-
ing something, Mr.. Olivier's watch
was found lying on the ground. Mr..
Patout has no recollection of seeing
Mr.. Olivier and cannot tell how, the
accident occurred other than Mr..
recognizing his car, attempt
ed to jump in it while passing.
Mr.. Olivier is still in the. Sani-
tarium and doing nicely. No doubt
as to his recovery being entertained.

HISTORIC VILLAGE OF GRANDPRE, FORMER HOME
OF ACADIANS, TO Be REBUILT.
Local Descendants OF Exiled ACadans Asked To Assist
In Rebuilding Chapel Of Evan8eIine.

1t has been l67 years since tbs
old Acadians, ancestors of many ~
our Iberia residents. were gathered
together in the ittit Catholic ChurcE

made eternal in our memories hv
IongfelloW's poem, t,yau4eline, took
place in l755, and Is known in his
tory as the Acadiaa ENpulsjon
Very remarkable events have
tlanspired dutin the last two years,
relatively to that historical little
field in the village Of Grand Pre-,
in the land Of Evan&chnr, where
stood the quaint little Church Of
st. Charles
The Dominion Atlantic Railway
has recently purchased this field and
also the graveyard, with view Of
Transforming them into grand and
beautiful park, to be called the INA
tionaI Park
Through generous impulse they
have decided to the Aeadian people,
free ef charge, the space where
stood the old chapel, with the express
condition nevertheless that they
should erect on it a memorial church
which would be facsimile of the
original one
Briefly stated, these are the facts.
For 167 years the land of Grand
Pre- is left in a state of complete
neglect and abandonment; the ruins
Of the Old church of st. Charles re
main, undestroyed by the hand of
man or time; the graveyard, the
surface of which through all these
years has been maintained intact. is
yet IN existence; so are the old his
torical willows; then, there is the
purchase Of the land by an English
Railway Company with a view of
Transforming it into grand ma
tional park, and the sentiment of
profound respect aroused by the
particular plot of land on which
stands the ruins and which is looked
upon as a sanctuary not to be des
poiled, but to be transferred in due
form of law to the sons Of the ex-
lies of 1855 with the express stipula-
tion that there shall be erected
thereon a replica of the old church
itself.
A committee has been organized
in old Acadia to secure funds for
the building Of this church at Grand !
Pre-. The President of this commit |,
tee says:
1--WE have already made our APP
peal to the Acadian people and to
our French Canadian compatriots.
"If to-day we turn our eyes to-
wards the distant land Of Louisiana,
it is because our hearts, obeying
natural impulse, have already gone tc
the hundred of thousands of our Ac-
adian brothers who, we know, are
