'RETURNS FROM DRIP TO PACIFIC COAST Mr. Robert Scarlett returned to :his home at Seaforth on Saturday after a very enjoyable trip to the coast. He left here via C. IP. R. from Lon- don on July 1111, going 'to Chicago and Seattle. Spent a week in Seattle, vis - sting his nephew, Russell Scarlett, and mother, Mrs. Harry Scarlett, for- mer Huron County residents. Then' by boat to Vancouver, spent "five weeks in Vancouver, 'Victoria and New Westminster, In Vancouver visited his (brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Sani Scarlett, also his nephew, Sam Scar- lett, son of the late John Scarlett of McKillop, and his !brother-in-law, Rev. J. S. Mulcirew and family,. and with his nephew, Ralph Scarlett; son of the late James Scarlett, who re- sides with his mother in New West- minster. While in Vancouver he vis- ited Mr. and Mrs. George Smith, formerly of Mc'Killon. Arnong former 'MicKillop residents in Vancouver he stet ibbr. David Tyer- nta'tn, also Mrs. (John Galbraith and a number of others from Seaforth. Crossed the Rockies to 'Calgary for a short stop and then north about 715 utiles to Innisfail where his (brother, the late James Scarlett, lived for a number of years and where his bro- ther's three sons and daughter are now esiding, Mr. 'Scarlett spent about a week visiting his nephews and niece there. Motored from there to see Rosebud Ranch at Carstairs where Mr. Sani Scarlett had the .first house on ,:the Edmonton trail in 1982. He made a short visit at Red Deer and Edmonton, then travelled by way of \'Vetaskiwin to Rosetown, Bea- dle and Kindersley in North Sask- atchewan. Visited a week with an- other nephew, Albert Scarlett, :son of t'he' late John Scarlett. A short stop at Moose ]Jaw where he met Mr. Alex Broadfoot, formerly of Seaforth with whom he spent sev- eral hours seeing the sights of the city of Moose Jaw. Then to Fort William where he spent a week with his daughter Miss Marion Scarlett and several days with his nephew M. Scarlett, in To- ronto, arriving back in Seaforth on Sept. 24. 'The trip covered approxi- mately 6,000 miles. At Fort 'W('lliant hir. Scarlett saw the big grain elevators at 'the head of the great. lakes. Interested visitors may secure permission to go through one of the grain elevators, of which there are thirty, with a total storage capacity of 912 Million ibuslieTs, The largest mink farm in Canada is on the outskirts of the city. The huge pulp mills were of interest to 'him after having visited the mills in British Columbia at Powell River. The scenery at the famed Kake- 'beka Falls near Fort William equal- led anything he had seen on his trip. Mr, Scarlett believes the greatest thrill was the motor trip winding up Mt. Ranier near Seattle into Paradise Valley, 55000 feet high, and looking up to the snow clad peak almost 3 miles high. The journey through the Kicking Horse Pass in the Canadian Rockies is something never to be forgotten. When Mr. Scarlett went to the coast for a visit thirty-three years ago five engines were required to take the train through this Pass, two engines at one end of the train and three at the other, The grade has been made so much easier by a series of tunnels and by looping the track back and under itself that only two engines are now required, instead of five. 11is brother, Mr. Sam Scarlett, went to the Pacific Coast fifty-two years ago. Sant left McKillop as a yaung man to seek his fortune in the West, Travelling through the States to Seattle, as no Canadian railways then were built across the prairies, 'he (vent from Seattle to Port Moody, British Columbia, now Vancouver. with a population at present of 300,- 000 and hopes of becoming Canada's largest city, After spending a short time at Port! iMoody Sant with three others set out, on horseback to cross the Rockies,' the trip taking then two months be- fore they reached the Hudson's Ray. store on the site where now stands Calgary. The party had twelve horses in all, each man having a pack horse and team, This sante journey today Is made hi about 36 hours Iby rail. 'At first Mr. Sam Scarlett was en- gaged with the Hudson's Bay 'Co., op- erating the wagon route over a dist- ance of 200 miles between Edmonton and the Hudson's Bay post at what later 'became Calgary. He later estalblished a stopping place for travelers where Carstairs now is, 'forty miles north of Calgary. Turning to ranching Sam started the Rosebud Cattle Ranch, a few miles out of Carstairs. Art that time it was the only .ranch for many miles. The thousands of aores in his ranch have since been atbsor'bed by settlers and now is al'l' divided into individual farms. Mr, Sain Scarlettretired about twenty-six years ago to Vancouver. '71 -he Carstairs section ,cif the country escaped the droughts of the past few years. Mr. Robert Scarlett "travelled across the prairies during the harvest season and .reports that es a whole the wheat crop in the West was :better this year but by harvest time the hail in some.sections had 'reduced the crop to le and 1151b•ushels an .acre and other sections that escaped the hail had rust and grasshoppers. He speaks very highly of the ser - :vice rendered by ihe C.P.R. through- out the long journey. • JUDGING TEAM WINS A noteworthy achievement was at- tained at Springfield, Mass., by the dairy team from O;A.'C., Guelph, when they were the top ranking team in judging cattle. It was the first time a dairy team from 'tile 0!A,C, has 'stood first in any competition in the United States. A member, of this team was. Fran'lc Archibald, son of Mr, and Mrs, Wm. Archibald, Tuck- ersm,ith. As well as being a member of the high team, Frank was high man in the competition.

C. T, U. of Huron County. Their purpose to give a brief history of the origin, scope and possibility of enforcement o£ the Canada Temperance Act from the time of its inception up to the present. No. 2—THE REASON FOR ITS 1 REVIVAL Provisions for municipal local option; which had became a part of the hlun- I cipai Act hut had somehow oeen. dropped, were in the early nineties Ireviveb and incorporated into the Li- quer License Act of Ontario. They :proiided for prohibition of retail sale lin taverns and shops in villages, ;towns, cities and townships. Being (part ofhe License Act, there was no question as to responsibility for enforcement. The law which became !operative on a simple majority was ipOopnlar and was widely utilized in ntario. ISir James \Whitney, whose enforce- ment of the law was particularly vig- orous, early in his regime introduced the requirement of a sixty per cent. majority vote which greatly retarded the progress of the local option movement. In the years 111914 and MI5, several counties in Ontario, having carried restriction of sale by municipal local option as far as seemed possible with the sixty per cent. handicap, found the persistent sale in municipalities remaining tinder license a nuisance and such a menace to the success of the local option law- that to clean up so far as possible a wider area and .protect theirown people they re- verted to the county measure, the Canada Temperance Act, This did not destroy the existence of local op- tion, or the various provisions of the License law. Its only effect on 'that Act was in regard to prosecution,for sale. It ;paralleled these provisions in the provincial Act and in so far as it did so, took precedence over them. The two laws operated concurrently, charges for sale being laid.. under the Canada Temperance Act and other charges tinder the Liquor License Law. The dual operation of the pro- vincial and Dominion law was con- tinued tinder the Ontario Temperance Act up till the time of the suspension which occurred about 19120.
