AUTOMOBILES FOR HIRE THE WIND, SHS BLOW COLD Agassiz has Just experienced a three days' wind storm which caused considerable damage to say nothing of the inconvenience of the intense cold. A large barn belonging to Raymond Tuythena (which we mentioned In recent issue as being a great addition t.<i tho landscape) was destroyed I ul- bo a largo struoturt which was built by tlio White Farm1 on the Hammers- lojl I'rfairie to covor feotf. was blown down. A window In tbe Women's Institute room was blown In. Considerable damage was dune to telephone linen cutting off comtn'uii lent Ion in many places, Several chimneys wave burned out, nurimvly escaping bad fl:es. In one instance Mr. Geo. Green fought llltti a good follow that he is on the roof of a barn, exposed to a cutting wind, putting out sparks falling on the roof from a burning chimney. A number of roofs and fences wero damaged. Autoa were conspicuous by their absence, excepting The Sedan Taxi, and they were on the Job dny and night as usual, On account of the weather the English Church Christmas Tree will be. held on rlday Instead of Thursday, in! tho I.O.

Druggist and Stationer, AGASSIZ MIL l"«. A. AGASSIS! HERO OF MANY EXPLOITS "In morning' heard chanticleer crowing." I .dying thut overy citizen, whether pi mice i* or recent arrival, desires us ii New Year's lefracy (lie write-up of Ihe town's founder, we tender a real iMisiiiialile blogi'aphy which we have for the purpose held over the past three months, This account of the Citveer of one of Agussiz's first citizens cannot full of interest nnd value to old nnd young, for, it Is the recital of adventure, heroism and service. Mr. Louis N. Agassiz haled in the long ngo from Essex, England, leaving the ancestral home. He landed first on West. Indies and later proceeded to I*. 13. T., which hi turn our adventurer gave way to London, Ont. This change seems to have been ordered, for, here Mr. Agassiz met Miss Schrnm, just lately arriving from New York, The quest-maiden, as well ns Mr. Agassiz, was a loyalist and they sealed their fealty to each other by joining in wedlock. P. E. I. was not forgotten so the youthful couple removed back there to engage In farming. Later the "days of gold and the days of '40" sent forth an appeal which was answered by moving there. Cariboo was tlie next lure—Williams Creek (sixty prospectors' at this time were working in Lytton. There was a big gravel slide in which many were unfavorably interested. Time does not permit to relate the interesting adventures here). Tn 'OS Mrs. Agassiz with four children, among them the personage of our sketch—yes, and not less to note Miss 12. Agassiz, now, for some time a member of the local educational board. The young matron bad surely come to the "wild and woolly west" with its deep woods, murmuring pines and all too attentive hoards of mosquitoes, in the words of our sketch, "many of them weighed a pound." Soon a winter—for three months 'he Frnser was deep vested in ice, easily three feet thick, and at Yale, ■i tittle higher up, the ice had to be blasted on the morning of April 1st to allow the steamer to get out.—it was ns cold as tho winters of '01, '(i.1; or '(ill. Next year or so was a year of high water, the flood being up on all the huts so that prima tive water ornfi was used. To do any trading a small boat o" some water-craft passage had Lo lie founJ to New Westminster as li base of supplier On one occasion they' emluirked in the fog of night. and in the morning before anything ">uld he seen, a clear voice of chanticleer was heard, and lo and behold tho city of New Westminster was reached, At that time old Father Frnser was much more of a raging stream than today, Mr. Agassi/, often ■ceing whole trees floating down and what was a very wonderful sight, ■'.hen a deep pool was readied the tree roots or both would descend, mae!strom-Uke until it stood upright is in nature, only later to topple hack to floating position. Few people there were, nnd hence, years after locating in the district, settlers were so far apart thut they could hardly "couie" to each other, being relatively more distant from each other than the currants in a first settler's plum pudding. Mr. Agassiz, Sr., had not ended his adventures, In 1875 he went to Turkey and Russia, where he suffered sun stroke, he had been, it must be noted, injured on the head while engaged in California. It was about 1878 while in Turkey that Mr. Agassiz passed in death, leaving resident on the North Hank of the Froser a wife, seven daughters and half as many souk. Mr. Agnsslz's brother, too, played a part in the theatres of the Par East about that lime. Mrs. Agassiz, Sr.—and there is no resident Mrs, Agassiz, Jr.—at tlie age of 00 years died ot tlie old home. The day before she was driving around as usual. To remember an Empire building—at least in part—mother and father, the many sons and daughters of whom Miss Elizabeth Agassiz was the youngest were left. In naming residence of these, Ernest is in Seattle; Mrs. Ooodfellow is a pioneer citizen of Victoria; one sister lives in London. Ont. A patriotic family! Of the Ave sons, four went to the front, the eldest being numbered among the slain, he at the time with rank of major, was acting Colonel. Mrs. H. It. Mrown of Pitt Meadows is the second youngest daughter. Mrs. Capt. Moore whose husband was the first to start a hop plantation1 in the district is the third (laughter. Tt would interest many to know that Mr. Brown, Sr., owned, the Hot Springs site first nnd for ten years leased it to Mr. Armstrong, who certainly at first made it pay. Our Mr. Louis Arthur Agassiz took up a place at Williams Creek, but soon loaded his little possessions for New Westminster. Thereafter a meandering life was spent variously at Hope, Yale, Douglas, Emory's Bar, with not u few stirring episodes to ("five relief to pioneer life. Burlier Mr, Agassiz, Sr.. had for Hope and Yule tho honor of filling the positions h' postmaster, constable, collector of j lolls on the SituilUaniecn lloud, etc.) Inquests there were several of which hud quite unusual interest. "Let us ask you, Mr, Agassiz, to clear up u few ideas—you don't mind us bi-iirg categorical, do you?" "When were the Springs opened up?" How came your town by its name?" Mr. Agassiz smiled. "The Springs received attention first in 18S7. it was the C. I\ It. that gave our hamlet., as it was then, the name of my late father i\\\<\ his world-famous kinsman, the illustrious naturalist." "What of your early education?" "Yale and Agassiz were my theatres tn this respect. Some of my contemporaries were Dr. Tolmie, Dr. Helm- cken (deceased)." "Do you know anything about the famous Brought on Street School, Victoria?" "Very little, but I knew well tho Deacon's School named after Arch' deucon Woods.* "As your farm was getting cleared up did you experience somewhat the same incidence of earlier days?" "Well, the wild animals came near as noticed by the howling of wolves. Bears came uninvited to our orchards. We had the animals of tlie wild; occasionally an Indian, stolid and taciturn, but sometimes a whole year passed without meeting even one white man or woman. Our first house was the log building now occupied by my three sisters. The first, school was the building at present used as a hearth and heart place by Mr. and Mrs. Heath. Children were too few, and, os often featured pioneer settlements, children had to be "borrowed," although nearly all of our family attended. Mr. McQuage was the first teacher. Hindoos were found to be the most satisfactory hands in railroad construction." "Your family is easily one of the old English type but whence were you originally?" "The family hailed from Switzerland." "You would know well at least the 'egislutlve careers of Amor de Cosmos, Thos. Bassll Humphries and others?" "Yes, and Simon Duck, llobert Bev- mi, and Wm. Smythe, tlie first premier to Victoria." Impossible^here, to tell of Mr. Ag- Agassiz Barber Shop Under New Management. POPULAR PRICES. Confectionery, Soft Drinks and Tobacco J. L.

WORLD PAYS FINE TRIBUTE TO A GREAT NATION BUILDER Passing of Lord Shaughnessy Calls Forth Expressions of Actx.irr.tion and Respect For the Man of Far Vision and Unfaltering Determination, Wl. /se Monument Is As Much in Canada's Greatness as in the Railroad He Helped to Build. J the practicability ot those dreams alter dawn. "Lord Shaughnessy, whose passing t.aiiaua mourns today, was a man of. this calibre, and because of the Intangible nature of that essence which makes tor greatness and crystallises leadership, the record ot his characteristics, his gifts and his achievements must leave much untold. Yet in the qualities that were revealed to his friends and associates, In the firmness of purpose and the strength of character displayed, In the very ascent of the ladder of success, rung by rung, Lord Shaughnessy has bequeathed a heritage to tbe youth of Canada of splendid inspiration and to the men who nave lived through the historic yearn with him he has left a glad remembrance, . . . "1 have set up a monument more lasting thai bronze" wrote the great Horace two thousand years ago. The words might be carved upon every line Kit' railway of the system which Lord Shaughnessy did so much to bring to greatness as an epitaph of his life. Himself of strict Integrity, .10 carried tlie principle ot the strait- est code of ethics into the administration o( the road he loved so warmly and for which he laboured so untiringly. . . .The Empire mourns a great pro-consul." And this, from the i^indon Times,' ever the spokesman for the heart of that Empire: "The romance, Imagination and fine courage of the Empire builder are blended In the life story of Lord Shaughnessy, Himself a native of the United States, he lived lo become not only a citizen of tho Dominion of Canada across the border but most essentially a citizen of the British Empire, tor his wholehearted au'd efficient work was not merely dedicated lo the service of his country. Under his administration, the double track branched and extended so as to carry new settlors every year into tho farmlands of Ontario, through tlie gateways of the West Into the wheat-fields of the prairies, and beyond the Rockies Into the valleys of British Columbia. In building the greatness of the company he served, he helped to build the greatness of his beloved country and of the Empire as well. ... Of Lord Shaughnessy It may be said that he was a living Instance of the manner in which Britain's overseas dominions assimilate the many elements of which they are composed. He came to Canada from a foreign country as a servant; he remained to be honoured by the King, to whom he gave such loyal allegiance, and in be recognized universally nmoiig his fellow-countrymen as the first citizen of the Dominion." The eiip left in the ranks of true Christian ;;cntlcmen by lite sudden and premature snapping (if this steel link with tlie oltl railroad builders Is very large. On December 10th, at Montreal, Death stilled the keen mind which for forty-two years had been ever at the disposal of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the strong hand which for twenty years had held the lever of that gigantic machine, the gallant heart which had ever been attuned to the music of the giant company's locomotives. Taking away Lord Shaughnessy, he took away with him the last of the old guard of the great pioneers of Canada's pioneer trans-continental. The departure of this monumental man Is significant of the changing times, a mark »f the Dominion's passing into manhood. The details of Lord Shaughnessy's truly wonderful career have been recapitulated so often'of late that there is little need to run over them here. Born In 1853, at Milwaukee, of Irish ancestry, he studied for the law, felt the lure of great railway work, entered tne Chicago, .Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway as clerk at the age of sixteen, and in ten years rose to the position of General Storekeeper. In 1882, when Sir William Van Home took over the management of the Canadian Pacific Railway, he at once engaged the young man he had known with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, offering him the position of General Purchasing Agent. Two years later came the promotion to Assistant General Manager, in 18111 the Vice-Presidency, and in 1898 the Presidency. Tills position ho held until 1918, when he retired to accept the office of Chairman of tho Board of Directors, which he retained lo the moment of his death. Meanwhile came many honours-in 1901, a Knight Bachelor, in 1907 a Knight Commander of tlie Victorian Order, in 1916 a Baron, and high appointments in tho many civil organizations in which lie was interested. Lord Shaughnessy wus a man of vision, of tremendous energy, brilliant and incisive, a groat executive, a great financier—almost everything but a politician. Canada will never realize the full extent of what It owes to the steadfast faith, buoyant optimism, foresight and sheer hard work of Lord Shaughnessy in his desire to build up Canada through the agency of the vast company he headed. Lord Shaughnessy was unsurpassed as an administrator. His discipline was strict but tempered with justice, kindliness and a keen sense of humor which made his followers love him. His attitude towards Labour was well known, ■» It was rightly said by tho company's employees that any dispute might safely lie left to him, and his frequent pronouncements In favour of giving the workingman ns grout an opportunity for Bel (-improvement nnd enjoyment uh the employer caused the employer of the The late Right Honorable Lord Shanghuessy, First Huron Nliiiugh- nessy of Montreal mid of Ashford, County Limerick, Ireland, K.C.V.O., F.R.t.l. old school to tremble. Finally, he was a great Canadian and a great believer in the British Empire. From a1,] parts' of tho world lirtve come stirring tributes to this leader among men. H. M. tiie King cabled Lady Shaughnessy as follows: "The Queen and I are- grieved to hear of your bereavement, in which we offer you our sincere sympathy We shall always preservp the pleas- antest memories or Lord Shaughnessy and of Lis unfailing kindness and consideration, both to ourselves and to members of my family." H It. 11. the Prince of Wales, His Excellency the Governor-Genera] and the Hon. W. H. Tart,' ex-President and now Chief Justice of tho Supremo Court of the United States, stand out among the thousands who also cabled or wired their tributes. From the Press came such appreciations as this, published by the Montreal Star: "Great builders are few and the British Empire counts herself fortunate in the long roll cf brilliant servants who have spent themselves unsparingly In her Interests. . . . These builders are few because in thorn are assembled many talents, great aspirations (often seemingly contradictory) and idlo- syncracies of temperament that, leavened with unselfishness, the noblest gift of the gods, make up that Indefinable quality which the world calls greatness. They arc men of far vision and of tlie rugged determination that refuses to lie balked by imposing obstacles, with an Infinite capacity for work ami a joy In Its accomplishment; men who can dream gioui things nnd Impress their fellow-workers with the reality .'in1 Bffiiif s;,i.

View from what standpoint you will Agassiz ranks high, nnd its citizens aro free, niert and thoughtful, Thils. and more | butAgassll has needs, and It will be the duty of the Record to urge these till the end has been gained.| Intellect.uajlly and socially Agassis needs moat a community Hall. The reasons are too obvious in detail here It is through the lack of such Hal] that our folk*, young and old, are denied the pleasure of a "Movie," which Is so commonly found today, and, really, everywhere such a social asset. Even a worse feature of not having a Community Hall is the necessity, continually existent, of going to' other towns to get what Is denied at home, and so sending the money rljrht out of town. Aa a matter of fact, very small places have their Community Hall, and with it tht best obtainable pictures, etc. It la remarkable what small places are well possessed In this respect— Aldergrove, Albion, Ruskin, Whon- nock, Pitt Meadows, Stave Falls, etc. How Jong Is our town to suffer this loss ? The Record believes that the time has come fo:- immediate action. May not tbe early New Year find Agassi?! in this respect triumphant ?

Although a busy man Mr. Hicks Is always most obliging In Imparting any of his knowledge or expedience to the boys and girls at any time, hence the list of prizes won by them each year.
