It operat- | ed under provincial charter up to 1921 when a dominion charter was obtained and a federal grant secured.

Montreal, Otc. 18.--That the Ro- man Catholic church in Canada had failed during the last thirty years in a great national problem vitally af- fecting it--that of immigration-- was admitted by the Most Rev. Neil McNeil, archbishop of Toronto, in an address on the needs of the Canad- lan west, given before the Catholic omen's League in the Windsor ho- tel. His Grace "declared that the church was losing thousands of its people annually in Western Canada. Of the large Catholic immigration from Galicia some ten years back, over 50,000 had departed from their anc!. at faith. The day was coming when the western provinces were going to rule us whether we liked it or not. Al- though ground had been lost, the time was still propitious. The civil government, aware of the tendency of the people to cut adrift from thelr old traditions to become socialistic or bolshevistic, were ready to say to the Catholic church, "Perhaps you can succeed where others have fall- ed." They wanted unity, but not so- clalistic or bolshevistic unity. If the church could convince the civil gov- ernment they could make good Cath- olice of those people, they would be received with open arms."

Winnipeg, Oot. 18.--The Manitoba Bovernment finds itself coerced by necessity to give careful and compre- hensive consideration ¢o the entir: fivancial situation by reason of the fac: that for the nine months ending With August 31st, which, under the decisjon reached last session, is to be the end of the fiscal year in the pro- vince, there was a deficit of approxi- Mately a million dollars.

It is a three- fold misfortune, it makes their¥pre- sent hardships 'more severe, it hind- ers construction work for buildings that would shelter them through the winter, and it stops the fall plowing which must be done in preparation for next year's Crops. ------------ MISSED THE CHAIR AND FELL TO FLOOR Wh Mrs. Masters Is Now in the Hospital Suffering From Bad Fall.
