Kelly, a member of the Halifax Pro- vinclal Battalion, writes that when the uprising was reported to be se- vious, battalions of militia were or- dered from Upper Canada and aHli- fax, On the morning of April 11, 1885, the Halifax Provincial Battal jon, comprising 384 officers and men, departed tor the West, The occar sion, in the days when Halifax was noted as a military city, provided the largest and most enthusiastic process sion that ever thronged the streets here, what with the various military bands, the Imperial forces about 2,000 strong, and thousands of citizens wishing the soldiers Godspeed, A particularly trying feature of the journey was the marches across "gaps," or spaces where train rails were not laid. At the time railroad passengers going west had to pass throu 4 the United States, but as Canadian troops under arms were not permitted entrance there, the Bat- talion coudl not take advantage of the entire regular route, and the de- velopment of Canada ag the time of the rebellion was at such a stage that only one train a week, a mixed pas- senger-ireight, passed through Moose Jaw, At Ottawa the Malifax soldie:s were presented with a silk flag which is now in the Province House here, The prairies were the scene of a good deal of hardship. For almost ® month the mercury went down near zero every night, The men slept in thin duck bell tents and lay on bare ground, Arising in the morning thelr first job was to break the ice in the water pails in order to perform their ablutions, The clothing was heavy and appreciated during the first six weeks, but when the hot weather arrived the appre. ciation disappeared, The ardor of the privates, whose pay was fifty cents a day, was damp~ ened when they learned there was no allowance for their dependents and the only assistance the families would receive must come from a committee of citizens who underfook to see they had their rent paid and « food provided, During the first week's travel by train the soldiers, packed two to a seat dnd surrounded by equipment, slept where they sat and ate once & day, Part of the travelling around Lake Superior was done in flat cars, Six miles an hour was the speed sometimes, and the engine was de- railed occasionally, . After a good Sleep in a Hudson Bay Company warehouse, the sol diers marched across the first gap taking a short cut across a lake and walking in water over the shoe tops. The rience was particularly diff. cult owing to lack of exercise during . She WeeiFs train nde: The AGE da J appeared, a repetit oO the first. The third ap Was an or. deal, The soldiers walked until 10 or 11 pm, Fortunately, heated cars with berths were waiting, One man died from exposure the next dar, It took eleven days to reach Win+ Dipeg, where the men were quarters ed for about a week, They then moved to Swift Current for three weeks, On May 6, three companies were ordered to Medicine Hat, on May 13, two companies were sent to Skatcivaan Landing, and on May 23 the main part of the Battalion started back to Moose Jaw, where . the men, still wearing heavy clothes, were drilled in the heat until faints ing in the ranks was frequent, Las ter, the afternoon drill was elimine FY 0 "Gn July 1 the Battalion was re- united and left on the 0th for Win . nipeg, starting out for home after a week's stay, The welcome at Halifax was featured by a. toreh . light procession with bands of the Imperial regiments, all the militia in the city, firemen, and various es and Canadian Government pre- mented every man in th Beattalion 'With an 80-acre script of land, but No one knew where the land was - or how to farm it, so the scripts were sold at an average price of 78.00 each. © ' Last year about twenty members B¢ the d Battalion met at Halifax, : bably 11 gather this _ year to recall incidnets of other days and sing "The Red River galley, | Aiot dy ot ihe vot. erans probab' 1 ume stances preventing them from Joining the On a cold winter's night, We will say, it's no lark, With a squall on each arm, to OK a chair in the dark; gence quotient ranges from BU to 76, The provincial school act pro- vides for exclusion from the gehools of children rating under 50. The local school board, in addi. tion to passing a resolution to the above effect, has passed a recom- mendation that the University of Alberta arrange for special training of teachers to carry on the work in the classes for the mentally de- ficient, In this connection the board expresses the opinion that the Alberta government should erect on the University grounds a school for mentally deficient children and thay a director should be appointed to tie charge of this line of educa tion, sn mpm -- nt OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR THE CANADIAN BUSINESS FUTURE | Sir Thomas White Sees No Cause for Pessimism in | Present Conditions Toronto, April 11~Canada is in a period of recession from the ex- treme business activity of the past two years, but with the opening up of spring there appears to be n more optimistic outlook than there was two months ago, in the opinion of Bir Thomas White who returned to Toronto Tuesday after a two months' visit to California, *'W, may look for gradual improve ment," he said, "especially if crop conditions are reasonably good and commodity prices suffer no serious further decline." The short crop in the west, with lower prices and retarded export movement, had of course, reduced the buying power of the prairie pro- vinces, This in turn has affected eastern industrial and commercial activities and has seriously affeot- ed the earning power and payrolls BRITAIN IMPORTS MORE EMPIRE FOOD Empire Production of Wheat For Britain Nearly Doubled In Five Years Ottawa.--The percentage of Drit. ish food imports from Empire coun tries is increasing in these post war days compared with pre-war times, apparently at the expense of home production. This fact is brought to light by a report recently {ssued by the British Ministry of Agricul. ture which shows the proportion of the total supply of food of all kinds consumed by the population that are respectively provided by home roduction, imperts from wthin the mpire and imports from foreign countries. The period from 1000 to 1000 is taken as pre-war times and 1924-27 as post war days for the comparison, Summing up the report, Harrison Watson, Canadian Trade Commis- sioner in London, writes in the cur. rent {ssue of the Commercial Ine telligence Journal as follows: "The proportion of imports from foreign countries exhibits practic ally no change. At the same time the. percentage of imports from Empire countries has advanced from 17.7 per cent, to 21.8 per cent, entirely. at the oxpense of home production, which shows a reduction of from 48.3 per cent, to 39.3 per cent, The Empire pro- duction of wheat flour advanced from 27.9 per cent, to 43.3 per oent,, and during the period that supplies of flour from foreign countries, fell away from 52.1 per cont, to 41.6 per cent. Another noticeable feature is that foreign countries, and not the Empire, have captured all the *additional import trade in meat which has resulted from increased consumption and the reduction in home supplies, This is due to its frozen form, The former comes from the Argentine, and neighboring, countries whereas Australia, the chief source of Em- pire f, can at present only supply in frozen condition," ART FESTIVAL Promotes Individual Artist Worker as Against Com- mercial Artist London, ~London is to have a festival of English Ohurgh Art from June 16 to July 3 under the auspices of the Church Crafts gue, The organizers wish to » $100,000 and offer, for a subserip- tion of $10,560 Fellowship" which will admit to exhibition, the conferences and the Abbey con. cluding service, "Friends" will pay 65 cents to mee the display once, Practically the whole of the Caxt- on Hall buildings, Westminister, will be utilized for dramatic per- formances, conferences, lectures and demonstrations and an exhibi- tion of Church art. \ In the preliminary announcement the organisers, headed by Rev. Joyoelyn Perkins, sacrist of West- minster Abbey, draw attention to the commercial spirit which practi cally extinguished the individual urtist-worker at the end of the 10th 'oontury, and which was ardently combated by George Frederick Watts, John Ruskin and William | Morris, i ye As the scene is to hing beauty into relirion the lines of mechanical art it is anticipated that the festival will receive consider able support, Ona art critic says: "It is to he hoped that etforts in the artistic scene will aim at the olty which 'most eresds pro- fu. 1 fons and be more in keeping with contemporary feeling and less psoudo-tradition, and display a purer aosthetlc sense, sines sound nesthetics are more ealeulated to eall up our nobler emotions then sentimentality in the form of fussy brass eagles, rows of mechanics! tulips and machine-made saints." MOTHER SEES PLAY BY EXECUTED SON | | Writings of Murderer Said | | Effective Against Capital Punishment New York, NY, Mrs, Ella Blake of Amarillo, Texas, a widow whose son recorded the hysteria of death house conversation but 4 few days before he himself went to the elee- trie chair, has come to New York to see 'The Last Mile," a drama by John Wexley that has absorbed the authentic dialogue Robert Blake wrote down in his cell, Blake was put to death in Hunts- ville, Texas, last April, after being convicted of murder and highway robbery on clrcumstantial evidence, During his long stay in jail, with the eletrocution delayed three times by the Governor, the prisoner wrote many articles and stories, One of them, a literal transerip- tion of the conversation 'of men in the dexth cells on the day one of their mates was certain to go to the chalr, was published in "The Ameriean Morecury," Wexley ad- mits it gave him the {nspiration for the play and the script as well as the programme credit scknows ledges that he had embodies much of Blake's record into the first act dialogue, When "The Last Mile" was produced a royalty was offered Mrs. Blake, who declined to make an immediate decision. In Amarillo there Ix much talk of the play, the money it is making and the influence it exerts,. Mrs Blake came here to seo if it ix true that the drama hy its story is an argument against capital punishe ment, of which she is an ardent op- went, nn well au to araspt®in hav rights to a royalty, the Herald Tribune says.
