Its first nanie was Bakken, hamed af- ter a Norwegian who first owned I:nd upon whick the town is built. Mr. Bakken came to Canada from the United States to gét a farm, He for a long time, be- cause an old fortune-teller bad once told him that be would get a quarter- section of Jand where a river cut off one of the corners, and where he would find plenty of coal and wood, and t on this quarter a town would be located, After having looked around for a long time, Bakken came out from Wetaskiwin and found a quarter which in every respect cover- ed the fortune-teller's description. He Settled down | ere, and, while his friends laughed at bim, he stayed by it, as the omly settler in that vicinity. When the Canadian Pacific Railway was built the station was located on .his land, and .when the town was sur- veyed he became a very rich man. He is now dead. To-day Camrose is the centre for the three r.ilways, and has managed to retain its Norwegian stamp. Look-| ing over the map of Camrose, one will find that the streets Lave Norwegian names, such as Christiania avenue, Bjovorsen street, Ibsen street, 'Bak- ken street, Paulsen, street, Dahl street, Thomsen street, - Christine street, and of subdivisions there are'| many with Norwegian names, such as Bakken Addition, Dahl Addition, Gula Addition, ete, This is not the only evidence of ths Norwegian infiu- ence. In lpoking over the voters® list for last year's election, it is found that of the 378 votes cast in the town of Camrose, 223 were Norwe- glan, and taking all of the Camrose district, it is found that out of 1,400 voters, 973 are Norwegians. When the United Lutheran Churches deter- mined to build a college for the edu- cation of young Norwegian boys and girls, Camrose was selected as the site, and it now has the only Ner- weglan college in the entire British Empire. Camrose is the centre for the ski-Ing devotees in the Canadian west and is also the headquarters for the prairie competitions, 'Home to Norway Association," lg working with a view to securing the largest possible number of tourists for the centennial celebration in Nor- way this year. Last winter there were 2,400 gath- ered at the ski sports in Camrose, and about 4,000 in Edmonton, and the interest in the sport is ever in- creating. The absence of great hills in our country makes its necessary to build timber scaffolds for ski runners but these scaffolds serve the purpose as well as the steep hills in Norway. The demand for f'tis is so great that it has been ne- cessary to establish a ski factory at -Camrose, and we also have a school where Canadians and others are taught the sport. It is probable that no other town in Canada has so marked a national spirit as has the little town of Caia- rose, The Event Was Past. Deputy Sheriff Jarvis of York County, who, despite the weight of his 84 years, daily takes his place just to the right of the Judge when the Assizes are In session in Toronto, tells ar amusing story at his own ex- pense. "One night," said he, "about two years aco, I was sitting all alone in my house, poring over that morn- ing's issue of The Globe. I noticed to my, surprise and pleasure that Christy's Minstrels were advertised to appear that night St. Lawrence Hall. I had often/seen them years before, and, was ater ea io think that the old name bad been kept up.

I asked a man standing nearby when the ex- hibition was due to begin. . Well, he just looked at me as though I were a Rip Van Winkle, and laughed in my face.

"+1 went home feeling quite angry with The Globe, for putting such a mean hoax in the paper, and I made up my mind just to ring up the office when I got back and tell them what I thought 'of such jokes," remarked the Sheriff. = "However, just to be sure, I picked up the newspaper wien 1 reached home and took another look at it.

That was the heading: 'Fifty Years Ago To-day." This Woman 115 Years Old. The distinction of being the oldes woman in Canada probably goes ti Mrs. Chapman, wifé of Thoma Chapman, living in Bastard town- ship.

Shortly before eleven o'clock Hon. Walter Long and Lord Robt. Cecil drew at{entidn to the absence of the prime minister from the debate on the budget, which was going, on. Ohancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd George explained that Mr. Asquith was keeping an engagément with the American ambassador. Lord Robert Cecil taunted the premier with "'merely dining with the American ambassador," whereupon William Redmond rose amid an uproad and cried: "You have no right to sn.er at the ambassador!" Lord Robert retorted: "You wilfully misun- derstood me. 1 like to dine with the American ambassador myself." Lord Robert added that he deemed it perfectly ludicrous for the' chan- cellor of the exchequer to tell the house that because the prime minis- ter was dining with somebody, however exalted, he could not be present at ten minutes to eleven. Such an excuse was scandalous and an insult tothe house. The unionist leader, Bonar "Law, in supporting Lord Robert Cecil, said if Mr. Asquith had an engage- ment with the American ambassa- dor, and if it were a question of peace or war, there would an excuse, but as it was there was no excuse. NUNS AS FIRE PIGHTERS Form Bucket Drigade to Save Their Convent. New York, July 9.--While a fire which almost completely destroyed the embroidery works of I. & M.

The work was dene under the direction of Sister Mary Floren- tina.
