The Edmonton Daily Bulletin says:
Overwhelmed with congratulations
from her friends and her fellow con-
testants, but not a bit embairrased at
the thought of suddenly finding her-
self fawous, Miss AloLay of Venni',
lion, daughter of K. D. McLay, form-
Orly of the 13th con. of Huron, the win-
ner of the handsome first prize of
McLaughlin -Buick automobile in the
Bulletin's circulation contest, last
night confided the formule of her sue -
cells to a Bulletin interviewer,
" it
"There was no luck about at all
,a
a ,
she declared. It was the hardest kind
of work." And then she told with"alt
due modesty of how she had travelled
for six weeks through the Northern
part of the province, from Calgary on
the south to as far north as she could
reach, soliciting subscriptions for Ed-
na lntou's most newsy paper.
Thera were some nights when she
did not sleep at all, for, like the gond
"drummer" that she was, • her first
thought was of her ambition, which
was to get the automobile, and beat
out every other aspirant. She found
it e. little difficult to cover some of the
outlaying portions of the province,
and in getting over the ground with
the least possible delay she had some
strange experiences.
On one occasion, on the Vegreville
branch, she travelled on a head car
for fifty miles, the weather fortunate,
ly not being cold enough to cause any
discomfort; and there was another
time when sire rode on the pilot of an
engine, so anxious was she that every
prospective subscriber should have a
chance to "coxae through," The fact
that she is well known along the 0. N
R. railway, her father being foremsn
of the bridges and building for that
corporation, b !ped her considerably
in her work, although oho relied on her
own untiring energy and perseverance
rather than on the fact that she was
acquainted with so many of the people
of the province.
"I am proud of the fact." she blush-
ingly stated, "that I wan very seldom
turned down when I asked people to
subscribe to the Bulletin. In my own
home town of Vermillion, of course,
where everybody knows us, it was a
very easy matter, and when they
knew I was a candidate my friends
came forward voluntarily and sub-
scribed ; but I had very little difficulty
in any of the other towns I visited.
F'or one thing, it was a prize well
worth winning, andperhaps that fact
spurred me on to renewed efforts."
"What will I do with the automo-
bile ?" she re-echoed, "Sell it ? Not e
bit of It. I intend to keep it for nay
own use, and I look forward to very
many happy hours in the handsome
machine.

„ Death.
Holstein. Jan. 4.----o be lifted up.
With hie buggy and horse, carried
along at a rapid. rate tor a mile, and
then tumbled Into a huge, but soft
snow bank was the experience of Geo.
Keith, a farmer of Egremont town.
ship, last night, When he bad collect-
ed his thoughts Mr, Keith found that
he bad been struck by a train which.
he had neither seen nor heard because
of a blinding snowstorm. The men in
the cab of the engine knew nothing of
the human freight carried on the but -
tet fly snow plow in front of the engine
until during a lull in the storm the en-
gineer saw a bat in front. He im-
mediately stopped the train, and walk-
ing to the front of bis engine found a
buggy top and the hat. Fearing that
some one had been killed he backed
the train up a quarter of a mile and
found Keith scrambling out of the
snow bank little the worse for his ex-
perience. Backing up another mile
and a quarter, the horse was found
dead, and back another mile and a
quarter, they found William Yake,
Keith's companion, walking up the
track to Holstein, a distance of two
miles. It seems that the,two men were
driving home from Monnt Forest and
in the snow storm lost the way. Yoke
got out to make' some inquiries, while
Keith remained iq the buggy. 13e ap-
parently drove onto the tracks and
the G.T.R. train coming from Palmer-
ston to Durham, dashing through the
storm in an effort to make up part of
its two hours lateness, struck the bug-
gy, immediately killing the horse and
rolling the man up into a safe position
on the small snow plow. Carrying
him over a mile it rolled him off. Mr.
Yake, failing to find the buggy, start-
ed walking back along the track to
Holstein. He was uninjured, and Mr.
Keith Is only suffering from shock.
n
C. P. R. Business Grown.
As an instance of the manner in
which the business of the C. P. R. has
grown during the past few years it
may be stated that whereas the rev-
enue from passengers amounted a few
years ago to something like $8,000,000
per annum, it now amounts to $35,-
000,000 per annum. To earn this n-
ey meant that the company had t.
carry $1,766, 982, 613 passengers one
mile. A decade ago the revenue from
freight was something like $50,000,000.
Today it is $89.955, 223, which means
that $11,272,690,998 tons were carried
one mile during the year, while the
total tons of all classes of freight dur-
ing the year were 12 980 010,155 This
gives an illuminating"idea of tbestrides
the company has made since the orig-
inal mail carrying contact was enter" d
into with the 0, P. R, and other com-
panies. Especially does .it show the
standard quality and capacity reached
in so few years—so that even in dis-
tricts which have yet to yield a notice-
able volume of business the character
of the operating is of the highest, in
respect of every thing entering into a
first-class system. Tbie has its effect
in the general result, but the point is
that the C. P. R. has aimed at provid-
ing the amplest accommodation, not
only in the E ist, where the population
is denser, but even in sparsley.peopled
districts in the West, which, never-
theless, will yield the fruit of which
the company has sown the seed in con-
fident faith.

Radium For Rheumatism
I n the radium mines of Colorado a
remarkable confirmation of the benefi-
cial effects of radium upon rheumatism
has just been noted. The radium is
there extracted from ore known as car-
notite, A local newspaper describes it
"bus ;
"One peculiar Effect of the presence of
ur-anium oxide is observed in the men
who work on the ground. The very
air appears to be oirad-active to a great
degree. No man working on the
ground has been known to have rheu-
matism, even though he had been
previously subject to it in greater or
less degree. The ore and atmosphere
combined seem also to have a beneflc-
i al effect on the stomach and accociat-
ed crgane. Evidently there is to
much radiceetive content in the sand-
stone and petrified streak that its force
is projected above the surface, The
effect has been noted by all the men
who have worked on the ground.”

gineering and Mining Journal, com
menting on the above, bofore the

Articles on Prohibition
Paper No. 10.
An encouraging feature
e
of our endeavor to throw
light upon the vexed.
question of how best to
regulate the liquor traffic
is, the marked absence of
any reply to our state-
ments or arguments. It
is true, 'that there have
been a few letters in the
County press making a •
feeble pretence at answer-
ing our papers ; some, we
regret to say, containing
statements utterly devoid
of truth, and apparently
devoided of truth in order
to try to bring our asso-
ciation into contempt; but
no effectual, tangible, re-
futation has been made of
anything we have hither-
to published. A man has
a perfect right to think
that a prohibitory law is
better than license law,
but THINKING SO,
and SAYING SO, will
NEVER MAKE IT
SO.
We hear a great deal
about nearly all the
crimes, under heaven, be-
ing traceable to drink.
It is so easy to make
sweeping statements when
labouring under the' con-
centrated fervour, of mo-
mentary high pressured
excitement of pulpited ex-
uberance ! But the truth
is, that a large portion of
crimes attributed to drink,
are so charged, on ac-
count of the cowardice in-
herent -an 99% of crimi-
nals; who willing to blame
anyone or anything but
themselves, when asked
for the reason of their
downfall, or what is fre-
quently the case, wishing
to escape the punishment
due their sin ; and to ob-
tain pity in the eyes of
the Judge on the bench —
whine out "Your honour,
it's all along o' the drink"!
And in this way, one of
the many blessings God
gave to His creatures,
has to be made -the scape-
goat of crimes innumera-
ble. Let us look at some
inde=pendent statistics.
OUT OF 674 convicts
sent to the Virginia State
Prison in the year 1910,
72 were intemperate
drinkers, 252 were mod-
erate drinkers, and 35o,
or 52 PER CENT. were
TOTAL ABSTAIN-
ERS. From this return
it is plainly shown that
TOTAL A B S'T I N-
ENCE PRODUCES far
MORE CRIMINALI-
TY THAN INTEM-
PERATE
NT.EM-PERATE DRINK-
ING? And yet, prohi-
bitionists lose themselves
in rapturous prophetic ut-
terance, when .they at-
tempt to describe the mil-
lenial conditions of mor-
ality, truthfulness, hones-
ty, love, charity and afflu-
ence that will surround us,
if we will only place the
country under prohibition.
THE CRIMINAL

NOT DRINK TO EX-
CESS and ply his trade

One more ex lmple of
how prohibition works.
