A TltlltLTH TO JUDGE UPTON The panning away of Judge Upton, almost over night, came as a distinct shock to the many friends he bad made during IiIb all too brief stay among us here. A man of superior attainments, expanded und broaden ed by reading and resourch, his ver satile mind delved Into tne most ab struse subjects, and ho was a verit able mlno of Information on cults and creeds and dogmas, lie was a lover of nature, of Its sturdy forests and Bloplug hills, Its spreading fields and winding streams, and to Dim, the flowers and buds and rip ening grain were emblems of an im mortality continuous and unceasing through all the ages of time. At times a dreamer, with his head above the clouds, he viewed the ac tions of his fellow men from the heights, and passed Judgment on their frailties with tender .nieicy. -listing ail forms of hypocrisy and deceit and subterfuge, ho was a soul of honor, and regarded truth as tho ouudutlon of all morals. A gentle man ever, In all bis dealiugs with 1ho world und man, he leaves behind him a'panK of regret In all with whom ho came In contact, while to those of us whose privilege it was to bo numbered among bis inllmule Tr'onds, the personal Ions is keenly felt. . This gentlo man hud such a store of virtues, such n love for hu manity and hatred of wrong, that those .will cover and bids tho fruit ties from which none of ub arc im mune, and tho memory of his kind ly deeds will ever remain fresh with those who loved hlim ,. Pene to his BflllCS. H I'OOIt AMERICAN'S.

Sherman while on his way up per formed a number of during stunts on tho trapesc and cut away after reaching a height of nearly 2400 feet. Ifo dropped rapidly and feel uninjured In the top of a tree on the bill east of tho city. The bal loon continued to ascend for some distance and finally dropped about a mile east of town. Sherman and Cook will undoubt edly be engaged for exhibitions dur ing the carnival at which time thev expect to have the gas bag In much hotter condition than at present. BAND STAND MA!

The drawings for the proposed building are now in the hands of Geo. Kohlhugen and the county court has given, permis sion for the structure to be erected ot tho pface desired. The buHdiiiK will not be expensive but will be something ' substantial and attractive. The money will be raised by subscriptions from the Commercial club, county court, mer chants and private ciiix.eus. The Commercial club is strongly behind the movement and will in aire u large ripiopriation.

ASSISTANT o GKXJ SWMJOHrJr.GSi' j The providing of employment for returned soldiers is a question that :'s demanding much attention, and it has been with great satisfaction that Canadians learned that the Canadian Pacific railway is to take action in this regard. J. S. bennis, assistant to the presi dent of the Canadian Pacific, makes thu. statement: "The decision of Lord Shaughnessy to piovide farm lames for returned soldiers is a further proof of his willingness to Jevote his great "energy nnd ability, and the resources of the company, to tiie solution of the problems facing Canada. "The task of preparine; 1,000 farms involves building 1,000 houses and 1,000 barns, constructing 1,.'!(I0 miles of fence, digging 1.0U0 weils, breaking and cultivating 50.000 acres.- The buildings will require 20,000,000 feet of lumber; prepara tion of the farms will entail an ex penditure of $1,1)00,000. "One thousand farms will provide for an extremely mnall proportion of returned soldier.s, und the govern ment must adopt some general policy of providing these homes. "The enlistment of 250,000 addi tional men culled Tor by tho govern ment will double the number to be taken care of after the war. The western provinces have responded nobly to the call of the empire and already there is a shortage of labor of all kinds.

They find there is no chance of get tine; this number of men, and have announced that from 3,000 to 5,000 is the greatest number that cun be obtained. "The recognition of this shortage and the efforts of the government to jineet the situation by bringing men j from the United States is a contra : diciion of the statement at a meetinir j in Slontreal a short time ago by (len. Sir Sam Hughes, minister of militia, that the enlistment in the west was not causing any shortage of labor. "Every true Canadian realizes that Canada must ultimately send her last man and spend her last dollar to enable the empire and her allies to bring the war to a victorious termi nation, but why enlist men before they can. be used? "It is now recognized that under the most favorable circumstances it will be the end of the year before all the men now enlisttd can be trans ported across the Atlantic, and after thnt only 10,000 men a month can bs sent. Many of the battalions now authorized nre much below full strength, and it will be months be fore they will enlist their full quota.
