Railway history has many chanters of personal ro mance, but it has lew parallels to the career of Sir Edward AV. Beatty, now dead, who at the age of forty-one became the head of one of the greatest transportation systems. Even in this continent of opportunity, his advancement had been sensational. Mr. Beatty was the first Canadian-born president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Edward Wentworth Beatty was born in Thorold, Ontario, in 1876, the son of Henry Beatty, a prominent ship owner of the Dominion. At the age of ten he moved with his parents to Toronto where he received the education and training which fitted him for the great responsibilities of his present position. The Model School, Upper Canada College, Harbord Street Collegiate Institute, Os-goode Hall and the University of Toronto had each contributed to his store of knowledge. In 1898 he graduated from the University and studied law with the firm of McCarthy. Being a lawyer of heart as well as by profession his ability and diligence attracted the attention of the General Counsel of the Canadian Pacific who placed him .in the law department of the Company. Though he was but twenty-four at the time, and the position he occupied was sought by lawyers of large experience, Mr. Beatty was not satisfied to rest unon his laurels, but continued to study with the same enthusiasm that had marked his career to mat time. At twenty-eight when he had mastered every detail connected with the oreat raihvav sys tem he was appointed Assistant Solicitor and three years, later, General Solicitor. At thirty-five as General Coun-' sel, he was enjoying the air on the uppermost pinnacle) of the law department. Three years later he stepped from-the law to the executive denartment. beintr named Hi-"' rector and vice-president, and at the age of forty-one he succeeded Baron Shaughnessy as Chief Executive of the large system. Withal Mr. Beatty had a firm but unobstructive personality. We was a tireless worker. His mind was logical. Coke and Lyttleton had trained him in tranquility and he was a man not easily surprised. He had a piercing eye and his clear, steady, strong way of looking a man in the eye was his chief and most impressive feature. He was a believer in thoroughness to the last degree a "fifty-fifty combination" of tireless brain and tireless industry but, he was not all steel. His decisions were always humane and he was sympathetic to suffering and misfortune at all times. Boys were his hobby, and' his work for their betterment would have made him famous even had he not been President of the world's greatest transportation system. Mr. Beatty was conciliatory toward labor and never had a strike on the C.P.R. ACTIVITIES OF Y.M.C.A. AND Y.W.C.A. "DUTCH" AGAIN Well folks, Mrs. Garbutt hasn't got back from her trip yet and so I'll have to do service once more. In the first place I am not at all pleased with the remarks made in Monday's column by that "Sunshine" pe:son. Further, I stand ready to settle the matter with claws at thirty leaps on any ground that my malefactor may choose. One ol the chaps tells m that John Gray from Terrace left for that town this morning. It was pleasant Indeed meeting someone who didn't dust his hands after stroking my fur. Well see Johnny again soon on his way to the conference they say Is coming off in the south soon. Of yes, I overheard some of the boys talking .about an Edmonton concert party that is due here next j week-end. You people who saw the i last one will be anxious to get tickets for Sunday. Just be patient and I'll see what I can do on the side. When we realize that those folk from Edmonton give their services freely we begin to see how much we are In their debt. But that's prairie people for you. They'd give you their last mouse. Don't forget girls that the Junior Hostesses are asked to be on deck again for the dance in the Empress. And a word- to the meu about that rotten ticket business. We really aren't asking you to line up just through habit but rather to give all the people concerned a better dance. So if you happen to arrive a little too late please continue to be as swell as you have been in the past. I mean it. The fellow who mumbles unintelligible explanations to you at the door asked me to pass on his thanks for the grand way you have co-operated. The other day i spent some time crawling about ovetr the writing desks looking at the walls.. Frankly those Initials and hearts and so on don't mean a thing to me. And I doubt very much If thev would mean mush to anyone. That sort of artistry 'does seem like a gift wast- THE DAILY 112773 WEDNESDAY. MARCH 24 Kitwanga Plans For Eastertide One of Biggest and Best Celebrations is to be Staged There KITWANGA, March 24 Chiefs and villagers of Kitwanga are already preparing for the celebration of Easter and plans are being made for one ,of the largest and best ob servances that has been staged here. Kitsekucla Child's Birthday Signal for Fine Dancing Party SKEENA CROSSING, March 24 In celebration of the second birth day of their son, Reuben Wesley, Mr. and Mrs. Walter D. Wesley were hosts at a delightful dancing party, there being a large attendance both of villagers and white visitors Including members of a bridge crew of the Canadian National Railways. Music was by the Wesley Orchestra and Jonathan William Brown was master of ceremonies. During the serving of refreshments, which featured a beautiful five layer cake, more than a foot high, with colored candles, the visitors were welcomed and speakers were Jonathan William Brown, Samuel Wesley, Peter Mark and Mrs. Bella ' Hawthorne, the latter also singing ballads. The dance broke up at midnight. Due to a typographical error, the special licence fee for vendors of extracts as proposed to the city council by Inspector Ernest Gammon appeared as $50 every six months. This should have read 50c. ed, don't you think? That grand new cloth on the billiard table will .a st much longer with careful use. With things getting so scarce you may have to play marbles on the bare slate after this one Is done. Well folks, I must curl up on tht register and snooze awhile.

LETTERBOX MINISTERS AI'PRECIATIVE Editor, Daily News: On behalf of the Ministerial Association of Prince Rupert may this brief letter convey our sincere appreciation of your courageous stand taken In regard to the lessening of the sale of alcoholic beverages through your timely editorials. You will recall how that In March 1918, Marshal Foch, facing great odds, issued the order "attack" and won the day for the freedom of the world. In the course of time the command was forgotten and the enemy arose in larger form and practice than ever. May the attack on this local, national and world enemy never be forgotten nor lessened. Secretary, Ministerial Assn. CLARENCE WRIGHT. IS YOUR IRON ON THE SHELF? " . A little attention now will save you time and trouble later. If it won't work, haw it repaired.
