D.C.L.. the first Superintendent of the Methodist church in North Anierica. and was written by John Wesley, who appointed Dr. Coke, to the potation on September 0, 1784. The following is a short sketch of the events which led up to Dr. Coke's appointment: After the American Revolution irony of Wesley's eerie helpers were driven out of the United States on the charge of being -British sy.mpathizers, and from 1773-1783 the annutee ot the Eng, Usti Methodist Conference eontain no records of the work done in America Also from 1773-)784 there were no published minutes of the American 110010(11st Conference.. Wesley had intended the Methodist organizations in Ameriea to he depens dent on the Chureh of England clergy- men for the administration of the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lard's Supper, but the Civil War destroyed all possibility of it. Twice he wrote to Lowth, Bishop of London, asking him to °Wein some of tie Methddiet helpers, and thus give them author, ity to administer these sacrarnents, but Loth. refused, stating that there were thine Church of England clergy- men in America ailready, After'waiting in vain for haler years.

"No railway cotopany in the world, no two railway companies, could pro- vide, at a moment's notice, Pm the -instant transportation of the crop in the Northwest," said a high Cana- dian Pacific Railway ofncial, in refer- ring to the demand for laborers and ears in the Northwest, in conneetion with the harvesting of the crop . "We uaake from ten to fifteen freight cars every day of the year, and we have many thousands of ears more One year than we had in past years. We will be able to handle the crop without unnecessary delay. Our facilities.were never equal to what we shall have this fall. At the setae time, to provide sufficient freight cars to bring out the entire crop at a mo- ment's police, as it were, would mean thousand's upon thousands of idle care almost the ,year round, and an imnaense outlay, from which there would be no return. "It would be better to have less spe- culation as to the size of the crop. for .speeulation disturbs almost every interest. Everything points to a targe crop -possibly larger than that of last year, and to a wonderfully large de- mendfor labor. The taking to mixed farming, in certain districts, is 11 dis- tinct advantage. This practice was urged, npany years ago, by Sir Wil- liam Van Horne. "Moreover, we can see that while the West must depend on the East from the industrial point of view, in the new towns local industries are springing Up on every hand, which makes for a certain self -containment. It is not merely natural products which the West have to send out, by and by. It will have its own manu- factured products, eSThe American farmer is aCCIIStOM-. ed to the idea of industrial activity close to his fields --a factory, a inn!, the product of which will supply the , needs of a district, and the, American farmer, coming to our Northwest. will, either himself or through his sons; be- gin to set up local industries, aceord. ing to local needs. . "Everything is doing well. Business is good, money is easy., and all we• need is prudent action. • RAM AS AN ATHLETE*. Th* Genial George of the C. P. R. Is Head of an Orgimizetion. Someone or other -it really doesn't matters who -once described the great German. poet Heine as the sardonic smile on the lips of the Almighty when He looked clown on the petty struggles and paeeions of mortals. In the eame way one might imagine the great Power That Is looking down in more kindly mood, on the 'doings of a lot of good fellows for instance, end laughing out a big, hearty, whole- souied laugh, a laugh that was all pure merriment without a drop of bitterness. That laugh would be George II. Ham, George to all the "boys" from Montreal all round the world in any old direction and back again. And now they have gone to work and made him the president of the new C. P. R. Athletic Association. At last he has an official title. For years he has been the most important man on the Canadian Padifie from Liverpool to Hong Kong -in the esti- mation of the "boys" at least -but he never had a title. He was George Ham, the great and only George, on the road -only that and nothing more. But now he is "The Most High Wor- shipful President et the C. P. sl..A.4." How about that for a mouth- ful? George in his inauguration address said that he was convinced the new Association had more cheneleions than any other institution on earth. George was probably right -he always is. "kind of ehampions, and just what But he neglecte to state just what sort of athletic feats they will in. " dulge 1. Handling . beer -kegs ought to be a favorite recreation with the youthful athinees-empty beer -kegs, AS it is unlikely that they would have a full one around long enough to be able to prhetice with it. Tossing glasses is also good fun, or rolling bottles. A pleasant innovation on their first program would be such events as, "Blowing foam from dis- tance," "high and broad jumping over bar," "two -pint race," "snort -put - UM'," and other similar contests to promote geniality. But -whatever the circumstances, one thing is eure-that with George as president, and under the persuasive force of his beguiling eloquence, there is bound to be a high old time in any old town .any old night for every member of the ' As- sociation. Here's wishing. it and its genial president all the luck there is -and then one more, on us !-Satur- day Night, A Chef's Repentance. Mr, Arthur Hawkes, of the Cana- dian Northern Railway, had an "ex- perience a few weeks age whieh, while exasperating, had an amusing aspect. -He was escoetine a party of Michigan editors on a. trip to. Edmonton, and had secured for them a special dining tar. The chef usually attached to the ear was off duty, and Mr.. Pratt, super- intendent at Winnipeg of the dining ear service, had assigned an English- man to the task. To Mr, Hawkes' dis- gust, the Man was incapably intoxi- cated for 'part of the trip. but' braced up and showed himself for part of the trip an efficient servant .at the end. Just before reaching Winnipeg on the return trip. the Englishman deferent. ially slipped a note into Mr. Hawkes' hand. It read: ."Dear Mr,' Hawkes: I am guilty. have no excuses to offer. Bat please do not tell Mr. Pratt, as I do not Want to hurt his feelings." • C.N.R. Development. • Regina has been fixed upon by the Canadian Northern Railway .Co. as one of the most important centres on the company's system. Occupying. the position. as the Queen City does at - most midway between the Great Lakes and the Pacific Coast, added to lie other advantages as the capital and most important commercial centre of the largest grain -raising prOvinte in the West, has so strongly impreseed the management that they have defi- nitely decided to make this city the city divisional •point on their system between Winnipeg on the East and Edmonton on the West , Grain Elevators, In the Province of Saskatchewan no fewer than 56 elevators have already been built this season. It is estimat- ed by those -qualified to express an opinion that by the time the grain begins to move in the fall 200 new elevators will have been erected, with a capacity of 6,000,000 bushels. If this be. so, the elevator capacity of Sas- katchewan will be increased to 24,- 139,500 bushels. Tobacco Growing In Alberta. Tobacco growinghas been success. fai y eartied on n Alberta for the past three years by Louis Roy of Parkland, and those competent to judge state that the leaf, which aver - Ages 18 inches in length, makes a first quality ,smoking tobacco.

The educationists of •Canada have been among the pioneers in making practical instruction outstanding tures of of their currieula. Acting oh the principle that any system of edu- cation which aims at or proposes to help the people who work on the farms must be a system that will help the elernentary 'rural . schools, where the future men and women of the farm will get theie formal education, school • gardens were attached to certain sehools, and trained instructors were put in charge to give instruction to the school teachers, as well as to the pupils. ' The outcome of these reform's was a denaand for specially trained teach. ers, and, recognizing that this de. mend must be supplied, Sir William Macdonald provided, at the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, two large buildings equipped for this pur. pose. There • are. now several- high- class agrieultural colleges,, and the ef- fect on the country is very marked. In twenty years the produce of On- tario land has practically doubled without any appreciable -increase of the acreage, and much of this Ma porvernept thest be -credited to tile teachers anel experimenters of the Guelph College. And as in Ontario, so in other Provinces. Closed to the Public. ' The Yonge street Arcade in Toronto 'was barred on .Sunday a short time . ego and placarded "Closed to the Public." This was. the annual legal forinality taken by the Dovercourt Land and Savings Co,. to maintain the proprietory rights of the owners, as the bars on one side were about six feet above the ground. The pub.. lis Was not seriously inconvenienced. The annual assertion of land owner- ship in property usually open for traffic to the public is also made on a short stretch on the lake front at Kew Beach. According to the law of usage, neg- ligence to proclaim private ownership for a full year would restore it to the public. a • • Canada's G. 0, There is no more intereeting figure in Canadian politics than Sir Charles Tupper, the last of the "Fathers of Confederation," as the framers of the Constiution of Canada are called, who recently entered on his 8.9th year. Sir Charles is the last Conservative Prernier of Canada. He beeanie Prime lVfinister in.1896, n few months before Sir Wilfrid Laurier swept the polls with the Liberal Party behind him, and since then he hasset in the shades of Opposition. Sir Charles, wil ie now lives n Vancouver, is a 13aptist miaisier's son, and was educated in Scotlat4. He has probably made more sneeches than any other Cann.
