l MRS. DEVITO GIVEN l ONE-YEAR IN JAIL
Judge Inglis Imposes Sen- tence Following COnvic=
 ton of Manslaughter

A jail sentence or one year was imposed on Mrs. Mary DeVito, alias Mary Clifford, 37, in superior court yesterday by Judge Ernest A. Inglis. Sentence was imposed when at the completion of trial, Judge Inglis found the woman guilty of man. slaughter charge.
 The charge arose from the death of Mrs. Frances Laffey as result of an illegal operation. A com- panion of Mrs. DeVito, Mrs. Jo- sephine Lipke, has pleaded not guilty and at present is awaiting trial by jury.
 Judge Inglis, in imposing sentence said that the accused apparently was only an accessory, and prob ably more unfortunate than crim- inal in intent. He declined to de- fer sentence until the Lipke case is disposed of.
 Attorney Francis P. Guilfoile, ap- bearing for the accused, argued that some consideration should be given in view of the fact that Mrs Laffey in her deathbed statements did not identify Mrs. DeVito. The latter was with her when she died Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald, as prosecutor, charg- ed that the charge is a serious one and that it should be treated ac' cordingly. Attorney Joseph c. Gull foile was associated in the defense

 Waterways, Alberta, April 21- This town, which came into exist enc only a few years ago because the citizens of another town three miles farther north had too many ideas about getting rich quick, is experiencing real boom in its role as the northernmost railroad ter minus on the North American con- tinent.
 And as boats and airplanes pick up cargoes of mining equipment and head north for the gold and radium strikes around the Great Bear and Great Slave Lake country, old-tim- CTS in the rival town of Fort Mc- Murray curse the fates which caused them to lose the Northern Alberta and Peace River Railway.
 Profit Motives
 It was only few years ago, when new gold and radium strikes north of here were bringing many people to this country, that the railroad de- cided to extend it's rails northward from Edmonton. The surveyors came as far as Fort McMurray and everyone decided that the town would be the northern terminus. So the citizenry got promotion-minded and began buying up land to sell at a nice profit when the railroad off, cials came to buy right-of-Way.
 The villagers bought up all the land outside of town for two miles and then sat back to await the prof its they were sure would come when the railroad built through to the docks on the Athabaska river. That
