ST. PATRICK

ores

The material for a biographical
sketch of the apostle of Irland is very
scanty. ‘The historian says:—

“In one of the incursions of the
Seots and Picts upon the neighboring
Roman province south of the wall of
Severus, probably that of 411 A, D.-
the year after Honorius had refused
aid to the Britons a youth of about 15
vas enrried off with many others of
the district in the neighborhood of the
wall at the bend of Solway and sold
as a slave on the opposite coast of Ire-
Innd in the territory of the Irish Picets
called Dal Areide, This youth was
the future apostle-of the Irish. As his

NEWS LETTER

++ oe oo 44444

Henry. Wise ‘Wood, president of the
Albertu Wheat Pool’ is evidently © not
overawed by a.delegation, even if it
does journey alt the way from Prince
Rupert to’ Calgary. He recieved the
local @epution, and told them that be-
fore Prince ' Rupert ‘eould. expect grain
on any extensive scale, ‘the ‘seven pence
per ton differential must be removed
One way to, help do it, is to place more
lighty in‘the neighborhood of the south
ern end of Hecate Straits.

Three: Mormon missionaries, who
have been mingling with the barbar-
jans of Prince Rupert ali winter, left
recently for more southerly limes.
One, preforce, must speak to people as
he finds them, and the‘ visitors from
Utah were uniformly courteous, square
nnd broadminded If they did not make
many converts, they at least made a
favoruble impression.

Mrs. R. Ll. MaelIntosh, who — first
came to Prince Rupert long before the
railway was built, is on. her way to
spend early summer in England and
Eupope. This will be a new, and no
doubt a delightful experience.

There is reason to suspect that new
life is to be injected into the somewhat
sonmolent fair board. It hag taken
some prodding to awaken interest, but
with a new bonrd elected, and a gen-
eral . shakeup all around, the. outlook |”

He spuke to a critical, discrimina-

The Fngles, with a membership of.

ing of trying their wings. They are
bickering for the purchase of a couple
