Fruit trees look very promising this spring, having stood the severe winter of some months duration, There are at present about 80U autos in town and visinily and many of the owners intend to fix the roads for their pleasure this summer. - During the craze for high prices of potatoes some. farmers whu have had then pitted when they opened found that they were frozen and rotted the Nutt tieing that they were pitted in the fall while still wet. Some losers are out from 100 to 300 bushels, The overall craze has not yet begun to affect the people here, owing to the cool weather, but it has not as yet been Passed over, as expectations are they will follow other towns as soon as they see fit. The businessmen have decided to start early closing on Wednesday next week and will continue each week until the end of August. The old race course is to be remod- elled and this summer some good races will be put on by the local horsemen and outsiders. The committee in charge intend to lose no time in getting the work done. At present the building proposition here looks quiet, only required repairs being done. Many farmers who have re- tired recently are now buying property in the town. Mrs, Smith, wife of A. E.

Mr Mills staled that they would have 550 acres of flax this year, which is 100 acres more than last season. The mills are running day and might and will pro- bably do so alt summer, in order to be ready for this season's crop. The Aero Cushion Tire Company's first tire was turned out here on Satur- day.

SASKATOON'S UNIVERSITY FOR THE PRAI IL., Upper Picture.—One end of the Administration Building, University of Saskatche- wan, with the Engineering Building in the background. • Lower Picture.—A' Travelling University, showing how instruction is carried to the farmers of Saskatchewan. Long after the ivy peered in at the upper windows of such splendid uni- versities as Oxford, Cambridge or Harvard, mkt a* ipidoyulion as the University of Saskateke', I lyad net even been imagined. When Sir Wil- frid Lawler, who laid the corner stone of this new university July 89th, IN76, was 6 student poring over his books few but Indiana had stood oa the ,height of land which is the Site of the buildings shown in the accompanying : photographs, and watched the waters of the South Saskatchewan River gliding swiftly and ailentiy northward. Although the prairie soil was as rich and the river as broad and full then as now, the City of Saskatoon was unconceived. Even as late as twenty years ago, where now stands at city of 85,000 people on three lines of railway, there were not one hun- dred men, women and children and these were housed in a few tents and shacks. The wiidest enthusiast would hardly have dared to prophesy that one day a university would grow there—yet there it stands! The buildings of the University of Saskatchewan crown the height of lank north - east of Saskatoon and the site could hardly have been more fortunately chosen. It in- cludes half a mile of well -wooded river front and altogether em- braces 1,393 acres of rich land, 293 acres of whtoh are set aside for a campus, 160 acres for purposes of agricultural experimentation and 880 105' the Agricultural College farm, The plan provides for the eventual accommodation of 6,000 etudsnts. The present buildings consists of an admtnistratlon building, contain- ing a hall and offices for the differ- ent departments as well as class rooms, twostudents residences, one containing a spacious dining hall and he other a gymnasium and, sw4m- poot:lig t�t�t biaadaald pavilion and up-ia.-date mo- del faros buildings. Ail the buildings conform to the preconceived plan and will, like these already erected, be of.stons let the Gothic style, Work, has just recently begun on a new science bufldlnt. There are also several private rosideaoes oft the campus, the two principal stone ones provided for in the architeet'e plan being those of the President of the University and the Dean of Agricul- ture, The buildings of Emmenaaf College, a church of England Divin- ity School, the flied of its kind 4n Saskatchewan also occupya part of the campus. The University titrants sites of from three to five acres to such affiliated collages at a nominal rental. Eight thousand dollars has already been subscribed towards a beautiful structure which will be the home of the Presbyterian College. The university provides degrees in Arts, Science, Law, Agriculture, Civil Engineering and a Diploma. in Pharmacy. The present enrolment is between 1,400 and 1,500, including returned soldiers who are retraining In vari- ous branches of skilled work, par- ticularly engineering. Scores of promising returned soldiers have been turned out as capable motor mechan- ics. Steam engineering and the handling and repairing of farm trac- tors are also taught. Agricultural students, principally ' the eons or farmers, are training to livestock handling and Judging, and eveet In the care and menagenment of poultry. An important feature of the work of the University of Saskatchewan has been its Extension Department consisting of short instructional courses at seasonable times for farm- Noceforeseer' wives. Each yeoa• a spetrain is fitted out and a regu- lar course of instruction mapped out including lectures to fanners. Thio train is widely advertised as the "Better Farming Trate.” It mattes a tour of the .Province, stopping at all important points and the farmers drive 1n for miles to examine the ex- htblts, talk over their problems with exyerts and bear the lectures. Real, bring that -the average busy farmer cannot ao to the University, an effort' in made to take the University to hint and to let Ilea know at first hand the results of experiments with special verities of grain, the latest informa- tion about methods of sail tillage„ and the like. Daring the recent winter evening lecture eouraos have been given at. a nominal fee for the benefit of city residents. Some of the best educated people in the community have at- tended these classes, From an educational standpoint Saskatoon offers as great apportuuf- tieseas any city in Canada, Complete training from 1' i•hdergarten to. Uni- versity is provided throu;h a fine set of public schools, thirteen la -ea public schools, which ranged In coot from. $118,000.00 to $156.000.00 at pre-war'"buililing prices. An accom- panying photograph shows two of them in one blpek in Ole working class section of the city. The en- rolment of pupils in. the public schools Is now well over 4,000. The Collegiate Institute, which provides the intertnerliate store be- tween the Public.. Schoots and the University, has an eteroltnem of about 2,000.
