Over nnd over again has the correctness of this opinion been verilied'iii the lives of young men who have risen to positions of influence and power in this counlry whereas they probably would hare led uneventful lives had tliey-remained in their old environment. . It is doubtful, however, If quite so striking- nn example of the rapid rise of a young man from very humble surroundings Lo a high and honored position has ever been afforded as in the ease of Hon, Charles A Dunniug, until a lew days ago Premier of Saskatchewan and iioav MLnlster of Railways and Canals in the Dominion Government. The story of flfr. Running's life since coming to Western Canada reads like a romantic fairy tale. Mr. Dunning lias not yet reached his fony-flrsfc birthday, having heen born in Leicestershire, England, on July 3.1, 1SS5. As a youth of 17, and delicate in health, he emigrated do Saskatchewan, iiud began work as a farm,hand. .Tho following year ho homesteaded at Deavenlalo, Sask., and, like all new. sol tiers without worldly wealth, began to break Ills quarter section and erect his log and sod buildings. " In the year prior to Mr, Dunniug's arrival in what is now the Province of Saskatchewan, the Territorial Grain Growers' Association was organized,, and the newly-arrived English lad soon identified.-himself, wiih the "Local" in his district, and thus commenced to render public service"; and climb the ladder of -fame. - - Within a few years he was a director of the Association, then vice-presi dent for four years. During this period the Saskatchewan Co-operative Elevator Co. was created, and Mr. Dunning was appointed ils first General Manager, whicli position he held for six years, developing the infant Company ���until if reached,the posilion of being the -world's greatest initial grain handling concern. Then, in'11916, when W. M. Martin succeeded Walter Scott asyPre- mieWof Saskatchewan, he called Mr. Dunning-- to* his. cabinet as Provincial Treasurer, and, with the possible exception o�� Quebec,'no Province's finances ���were fetter handled .during the last of the jvar-years.and during the diflicult years of readjustment and depression that folio-wed than were thoso'of Sas. katchewan. /In 1922, Mr. Martin retired from the Premiership,'and Mr. Dunning was tlur unanimous choice of the Liberals of Saskatchewan as his successor. Thus within, nine years of arriving in Saskatchewan, and at the early age of 26, Mr. Dunning was General Manager, of .one of the Dominion's biggest com- :.pa.ni.es; at the age of 31 this English emigrant Lad-was.a. cabinet minister; at- 37 he was Prime Minister of the Provkic<?. What otlier country can offer a parallel to such a record! .--.' ...���'���*���-���..��� ���.���""'*< During the war Mr. Dunning threw his .abounding-energy and organizing abilities into the task of furnishing the wherewithal to enable Canada and the Empire to worthily and successfully play their purl.- He was; chairman of the Victory Loans campaigns hi Saskatchewan lor three years iii succession', and Director of Food Production In Canada (luring tlie last critical year of 191S. r. And now, secure iu llie Premiership, witli ,an overwhelming majority In the Legislature following an election of less tli an a year ago, Mr. Dunning relinquishes a safe and comparatively easy "position to go to Ottawa and take over one. of the heaviest aiul most responsible portfolios in. the Dominion Government. And those who know him most Intimately are.agreed that he does so Jn .'order that he may thereby render still, greater service to the country of his adoption and the /Empire which gave him birth, [y'xz. ������> ft Is well forCana'da that it. can provide such opportunities-for advancement to ils people, and it is even belter for Camula that when theoccasion and ��� thc need arise, her sons are willing to give her their rery best in effort and service. . " "WW ���'���'.-:* ���'. ' Apart.altogether from p'arlizan feelings and affiliations,' the people of Western Canada aro proud of the achievements of Mr. Dunning and rejoice to liave him in tho Government at Ottawa at a time.when strong men, filled .with initiative, and capable of safe but progressive -leadership are ���urgently needed. Although a Westerner by his own choice, and fully seized with the problems and needs of this section of* the.Dominion, Mr. Dunning's vision is not restricted to the prairies. He will approach and deal with Canadian problems,.not from any narrow or sectional .viewpoint, but in. the interests of Canada as. a whole. *.-,," Knowing the West as lie does and its enormous;possibilities, he will apply ���iiis energies beneficially for the West, not because.it is tlle West, but because thereby the welfare and prosperity oC Canada S3 a national'unit'will be advanced. ' Political friend-and political foe will, therefore,-be found uniting ���In a hopethat the ...same *unb rplc.cn _record^ marked his care'er-in the past will'be.surpassed in the larger arena of national ���affairs.

Steam Cooling Said to Keep Engine At Even Temperature Freezing In winter and overheating in summer will no longer"threaten motorists, if advocates of steam cooling have their hopes fulfilled. Steam cooling, they say, is the cure-all for these ills. SLeam cooling is a method by wliich the water in the ctfoling system lcecps tho engine at an, eflicient temperature suinmcr and winter, yet evaporates at the bolilng point; It is cooled through the radiator and returns into the system still warm enough to keep tho temperature of the engine even at all times, '��� One advantage claimed for this system is that there's no worry about radiator leakage, siuco the radiator connection is at lho bottom and tne condensed vapor flows down, past any sniall holes that might appear through rust. In fact, there's mighty little chance for rust, because rust Js said to come from cold water, not water that's kept at a high temperature.

' Easter never occurs before March 22nd or after April 25th. In 1761 and 1818 it fell on March 22nd, but neither in this or thc following century will such be the case again. " In 1913 it fell on March 23rd, as it did in 1845 aiul 1856. In 1848 Easter fell on April 23rd and in 1859 on April 24th. Not in the past dozen years has Krister fallen on the date which will be observed this year. There is; much interesting information in connectin ii with the observance , of Easter, some of which may not be known to many of our readers. It would appear, according to most '. authorities, that the word Easter is derived from Eastre, a Saxon goddess whose festival was annually kept at about the same time as Easter. In the ancieirt church the celebra tion of Easter lasted eight days. After the eleventh century, however, it was limited to .three, and in latter times generally to two days. It was formerly the favorite time for performing the rite of baptism. The courts of justice were closed, and alms dispensed to the poor and needy, who were even feasted in the churches. Slaves also received their freedom at that season; and as the austerities of Lent were over;., the people gave themselves up to enjoyment. To the popular sports and dancing were added farcical exhibitions. -On Easter., day the people saluted each other with the Easter kiss,- and on the exclamation "Surrexit" (He, is risen) to which .the reply was "Vere Surrexit" (He is risen indeed) ���a custom still retained in the Greek Church. The chief, solemnity has always consisted of the celebration of the Lord's Supper; and Easter is the one time of year at which by the Fourth Lateran Council, Catholics must �����. receive communion. Many of the popular observances connected with Easter are clearly of a , pagan origin, and traceable to the feast of the Saxon deity ""Eastre." The worship of this deity introduced into England by the Saxons, continued to be celebrated in many parts of.the north of Germany down to the beginning of the nineteenth century by the kindling of bonfires and numerous other tites. Like the May observances of England, it was especially a festival of joy. . One of the most popular features of Easter was the Easter Egg, an old " emblem of the Resurrection. In Germany, instead of the egg, is represented an emblematic print in which three hens are holding a basket in which are three eggs; whereas ,in Vienna, the Easter Egg- is composed of silver, mother-of-pearl or bronze, in which various knick-knacks were- placed. ' Formerly in England, the Easter Egg was blessed by the priest, and being elaborately colored, was =often=kept,as.a.r_uaniulet. The proper time for the celebration of Easter has occasioned no little controversy. In the second century a dispute arose on this point between the Eastern and Western- churches. The great mass of the Eastern churches celebrated Easter on the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month or moon, considering it to be the equivalent of the Jewish Passover. The-Westerft churches kept it on the Sunday after the fourteenth day, holding that it was the commemoration" of the Resurrection of Jesus. ��� The Council of-Nice (325 A.D.) decided in favor of-the Western usage.��� Penticton Heraid. ' Kettle Valley Golf Club The annual meeting of the Kettle Valley Golf Club was held at Beaven Gane's on March 24th.

Warrington, of the Bell, mine, is building a new home on Patterson Flats and will move his family up from Rock Creek as soon as it is completed. A small strike was-made on the Bounty claim last week and altho the lead is small, the*" ore is very rich. This claim is operated by the Federal Mining and Smelting Co. Duncan Mcintosh has returned from Vancouver^ where he went to purchase a new compressor for the Bell mine. The rich strike made at the Bell a short time ago now makes it necessary to have two plants, to enable the company .to employ more men. Now comes the Baseball season! Beaverdell citizens hope to be treated to some real snappy games this summer, and if practice means anything, the "Silver Sox" are prepared to give some of the older organized team a run for their money. There will also be a football team to compete for honors in the valley. An organization meeting for, the purpose of starting a Sunday School was held in the school house last Sunday. Some 22 children' attended as well as several grown-ups, and while a superintendent has not yet been appointed, it is hoped L.
