BY DAN McCOV'V'AN
The meeting which v,=as held on
Tuesday, November the twenty-fifth
will be long i•emembered in the an-
nals of the Winghann. Canadian Club.
This date was the occasion of a lec-
ture entitled "A Naturalist in the
Rockies" by Dan McCowan, who is
himself known as "The Naturalist of
the Rocky. Mountains." The slides
with which he illustrated his fasein-
ating talk were made from pictures
taken on his so-called hunting expe-
ditions and were beautifully tinted by
Mrs. McCowan. They included some
views of Rocky ` Mountain scenery,
some interesting snow pictures, and
some very fine slides of the bird, ani-
mal, and plant life of that region.
Many of these pictures had stories
connected. with them, which Mr. Mc-
Cowan
Cowan related in his own inimitable
way;
It would be impossible to repro-
duce
ro-
p P
duce here the thrilling tales of animal
life, the delightful flashes of humor,
and the real inspiration which the
speaker brought to his audience. Suf-
fice it to say that each one of his
hearers was brought very closeto the
heart of nature, and to the God of the
Out -of -Doors Who has created all the
loveliness we enjoy, and Who pro-
vides for each of His creatures, large
and small, in so many wonderful
ways.
A solo by Mrs. A. H. Wilford "The
Hills of Horne" seemed very approp-
riate to the occasion, and was great-
ly appreciated.

PREMIER FERGUSON
GOES TO LONDON
The acceptance ce a tance of Hon.' G. How-
ard Ferguson, Premier
oward'Ferguson,'Premier of Ontario; to
the position of High Conunissioner at
London, England, did not create a
great surprise as it was generally ex-
pected that he would go from the
first announcement. Perhaps no oth-
er main in public life in Ontario has
secured so warm a place in the sym-
pathies of the ;public since the time
of Mowatt and. Whitney. Entering
Public life twenty-five years ago, he
spent many years in hard work at his
desk in the Legislature, so that when
ten years ago the leadership of the
party was tendered him, be accepted,
confident of success. :In his removal
a powerful personality disappears
from provincial politics. in many
ways he was a dictator in forcing
his will on his followers but with a
shrewdness, earnestness of purpose
and political capacity almost uncanny,
In his position he will bring a tire-
less energy, undoubted ability and
high purpose to further Imperial con-
nections within.the Empire.
