owing to the death of his father,
the late Wm. Howey. Drumheller
is a city of 10,000 population and is
situated on two lines of railway.
It is situated in a valley 300 feet
deep and about a mile wide on the
banks of:. the Red Deer river, in the
centre of a rich coal district. ; The
seams can be reached by sleafts run-
ning intoe. the banks and/the e road-
ways into the mines often have only
a slight decline. The coil is drawn
out by the larger companies with an
electric cable .in trains of from 35 to
40 ears of two tons each. The
mules have a wonderfuladvantage
as there is nosigns of gas in thein,

TBE HAS BEEN'S AND NIVEL
WUZZEIV$ STAGE REAL
IEI.OGIOETh. GAME.
On Friday afternoon a hockey
match took place at the Dome Rink
between two teams havinghead-
quarters at the Marble Works, the
principal qualification being no one
was to have skated for ten years.
They worked 'tender the names of
"The Fats" and "The Slims" ,and
the result was a tie 6-6. A large
number of spectators were on hand
to give the boys support and it is
said that o greatmany had the first
laugh they have enjoyed in several
years. Undoubtedly every one had
a great time if we can judge by the
noise they made, The boys put up
a classy exhibition of the winter
pastime and some of the . "town"
teams were looking for recruits at
the ' finish of the game. For the
Fats Ted Bawden starred and his
flashes of speed were a source
of trouble to the Slims. He scorers
two goals for which he got five min-
utes in the penalty box. Homer
Bagshaw- Wee also, in the limelight
for the Fats and if he had not been
handicapped by his long tube skates
would have been more dangerous,
He was a speed artist when he got
going, but it took him a long time to
get started. He also- scored two
goals. Walter Cunningham in goal
for his side was a marvel, but would
have been able to save more goals
if there had been a little sand in the
goal to prevent slipping, and a Wide
board would have been easier to
handle than a goal stick. The an-
tics of Bill Hodgert on defence, were
good and it was necessary* to put
him off several times for falling
when nobody was near. Next time
he will be supplied with an old fash-
ioned spring bustle to helphim
u
p
when he falls. For the Slims' Herb
Southcott was good and he usually
stopped Ted Bawden at any cost.
Ted 'says his coat will tell the "tale"
for there' is no "tail" left on it. Herb
shot three beautiful goals for the.
Slims, and it is thought that he wili
be found in'faster company next sea-
son. (Watch Niagara Falls line-up)
Ed Christie played well once he got
started, but before the finish was
looking for the one who started
"this foolish game" with blood in,
his eye. Campbell Wares was a
great goalie for the Slims and seem-
ed at his- best when on hands and
knees scooping them out of the way.
Campbell must have been a whale
in his younger days. All the other
boys put up a swell game but it was
fortu-nate that there was .a fence a-
round the ice or some of them would
be going yet. JeL return game will
be played as soon as the sore spots
are better and more "subs" are se-
cured. Dick Harness was on ef-
ficient referee but it, was suggested
that he allow no more goals to be
scored after the bell is rung. He
was also a little strict with. off -sides
and did not keep the boys in the
penalty box when they were banish-
ed. It was the usual custom to
jump on when the puck was in that
vicinity. Several times there were
two pucks in use but the goalies are
to be congratulated on always sav-
ing the right one.
