CALGARY, A BEAUTIFUL WgST,
ERN CITY
Calgary ,luly, ;192.8
Editor Advance -Times: --T
Calgary—"City of the Foothills",
Well lvorthy of notice for many rea-
sons, it being well situated half way
between Winnipeg .and Vancouver
and having a population of about 7u,
000. This is essentially a C, P. R.
city, having a large 'stone built stat-
ion, work shops and .a magnificent
Hotel, called "The Palliser",well
worth a look over when you come to
the city, The Rotunda, Rest Room
and Dining Room are certainly beau-
tiful, , The ladies indulge in the cof-
fin nails along with the gents, just to
make things interesting.This city is
up to dare in all particulars, many of
our. Ontario business houses have
agencies here, especially car agencies~
of most of the makes. They are
building more and more garages, on
visiting 'them there is great activity
seen in repairing and selling; it cer-
tainly is a good city fbr this business
as the roads generally are "punk",
necessitating a volume of repairs. The
Robin Hodd, Flouring Mills, also the
"Pat Burns" Packing.Houses are sit-
uated here: The late Senator Long
heed had a beautiful residence, like-
wise Burns. In travelling over the
cjty there are evidences on every hand
of great wealth and refinement in the
splendid homesof the people; at the
present time there is great activity
in the building line indicative of pros-
perity of our country generally. I
should judge the oil industry ands ex-
pansion is one great reason for the
present boom, there is a quiet excite-
ment existing and people are "going
after it" hot foot and some are losing,
such is the world, As I said before
in a letter a fellow can't convey much
about pictures, you have to see for
yourself; my great regret is that my
fellow citizens, one and all, cannot
se what . I see but I desire to do a
little to help and: bless you on paper
with cold type.
Now this beautiful city, as you per-
haps know, is on the _foot hills of -
lice Rockies, for somtime 'before
leaving the train, through the`"window
we can see the beautiful snow-capped
mountains looming up, the distance is
many miles, perhaps forty. The city,
I think,. . has nearly as fine a site. as
Edinburgh, ,being surrounded by hills
and in fact great elevation, 'Within
a few minutes ride from Centre you
come Co a place where you think the
city ends and by following the road
around the corner there is another
district containing homes, boulevards,
parks and gardens. By pushing your
car up these hills a splendid view of
the city is obtained, . The Bow and
Elbow .rivers meet here making a nice
stream of very swift running water,
so much so that they cannot navigate
at all, these rivers get their rise in
the mountains; ,What more shall I
say? The buildings are good, many
built of stone and of course all kinds
as you will find in a city; perhaps
the only fault is, the city is not quite
as uniform as I should like it, a splen-
did edifice, here and a little one next
by contrast, but what can you expect?
The place is only a "Baby" yet, but
what amazing prowess, most of the
streets are paved, a good car service
in all directions and well patronized
too, Next, good stores, Hudson's Bay,
not so large as Winnipeg but as well
finished, a charming building just off
8th Avenue; Eaton Co. are building
here and as I said crudely before, am
going to do some snore "bucking"
here which the people will take ad-
vantage of, let them "go to it". The
trees in the city have grown greatly
since I was here nine years ago, add-
ing very much beauty to the places.
The city is clean, housesand build-
ings of Commercial type are kept
painted and an air of prosperity is
evident. 'The parks are also well
kept, notably St. Georges Island with
its beautiful flowers, shrubsand dtive-
ways. Bowness Park is a great' re-
sort for the natives.
The schools are immense, as far.
as I have seen they; are all built of
Brown Stone quarried here; the Gov-
ernment Technical, School notably is
a fine structure; in a word peopleare
great on "larnin", Last but not least
the spiritual side is not forgotten as
there are 123 churches to minister to
the people, the largest one is Grace
Presbyterian, a very fine stone build-
ing which cost in the neighbourhood,
of ry5 thousand dollars. This church
was built under the direction of Rev,
Mr. Esler, who is now stationed in
Vancouver,; this gentleman is a strong
preacher, has a drawing personality,
gives forth unmistakable utterance,
convincing and practical, a very
strong protestant, proclaiming 'the.
great fundamentals of the gospel
thereby even drawing people from
other denominations who believe in
a "full gospel"; his great `drawing
card" was the Second Advent, which
is very little preached about, when
the salve is written ea`tensivcly in the
New Testament scriptures, it is a-
mazing that so great and true a
theme is sidetracked by the pulpit
generally)
Your humble servant took a notion.
to go to Central United, was met at
the door 'by a lady formerly from
Blyth, who was there for; the purpose
of giving a welcome to strangers, the
preacher also lived at one time in the
same village, so you see Wingham
ites, Blythites, Huronites and Bruce-'
intes anter into. the composition 0"
great country of ours. The Sunday
being our National Birthday, the
preacher of course was on the pat-
riotic line, he was good, exalted our
country in every way: " if only we
acknowledged "The Christ" as .our
Supreme Ruler," which is absolutely
correct. He also spoke of the utter-
ances of the Bishop of Saskatchewan
who has been speaking very plainly
lately in reference to the inblux of
the' middle -European races, he 'scored
the fact that' certain immigration
agencies are given five dollars per
head, as a bonus from the Govern-
ment while the B,ritisher is allowed
only two dollars and a half—that is
our flesh and blood is only worth
half price! What do you people
think of that? How are we to re-
main Protestant under these discri-
minations? I don't take much stock
in autocracy, I hate it, but I should
like to run this Dominion for thirty
days and every Man Jack who has
the Pope for king would have to
swear loyalty under the Union Jack
and kiss it!
The. big Fair and Stampede is on
next week, am an old sport, and think'
I'll go and blow in some pop corn
and pea, nuts,
Geo. Mason.
MY VACATION
There's a dear little home
In the country I know,
Where I'm often invited,
And often I go;
For a little vacation,
No spot in creati,on
Has any relation
To this Eden I know.
They may talk of their "Hop -off"
And "Aeroplane flight,"
Of the countries they cross
And the cities they sight;
But give me the "Hop -off,"
To the fields where I stop off,
There Iny';troubles all drop off
The moment I light.
When I pack up my grip
And get started away
To the' sweet fields,. of clover
.And new mown hay,
Such joyfulness fills me,
Such ecstasy thrills me,
The shock`;nearly kills me;
Hurray! `and hurray,.
How I long for the songs
Of the birds in the trees,
For the sweet 'breath of flowers
And fresh cooling breeze;
Where wheat fields Are yellow
And 'orchards are mellow,
Just the place for a fellow
I know; if you please.
But the dearest of all
Is the welcome we meet.
From loved ones who gather
In fellowship sweet;
But . time swiftly flying,
Soon finds us '"Good-byeing
To the things we're enjoying
So full and complete.
T. A. Calhoun.
The Tale of a Dog
The Southeast Corner of, the Globe
printed some articles that appeal pra-
ctically impossible, bitt in their issue
of July 4th, the article printed sounds,
more like o bed -time story than a' dog
"tail". The article is from G. E. Bea-
le, Reeve of Burlces Falls, Ont., and
is vouched for by R. J, Watson, Ex -
M. P., and is as follows:— "To the
Southeast Corner: To dog fanciers I
would like to tell of a collie that, af-
ter bringing home the cows, realern-
bere'd, a newborn calf left behind. So,
as soon as the mother cow was milked
this dog swished his. tail in the pail
and ran off for the bush, There he
placed the milkrsoaked tail in the
calf's mouth and soon returned with
the sucking calf hanging on to the
tail."
Listowel Boys Off for Hollond
Pans of Listowel Thursday night

metre race at the Olympic trials in
