PLAYER Lacrosse Suffers Decadence Dur ing Past Few Seasons Recruits Required to Take Place of Old- er Players as They Drop Out of Great Canadian Game Is the Canadian rational gamo doomed ? For two or three years past there has been a marked decrease in the: number of young Canadians playing the game, and though during the sea- fon just over the Canadian Lacrosse Association has endeavored to. stiniu- late interest vy forming a juvenile series, it has failed to bring its playing membership up to anywhere near its former figures, says q writ- erin the Canadian Courier. Many reasons are advanced for-the decline and fall-of lacrosse, but all of these reasons combined lmost leave one convinced that thd lacrps lt; jlayer will soon be as nearly extinct as the buffalo. These reasons might lke condensed us follows: The young mea are going west ata leaving their lacrosse shoes. behind them jbaseball is cheaper am more wide advertised; the governing bodies in tying to make gn amateur sport out of the national game of a profes sional country have legislated it out of existence, the game of vowls has Decome epidemic utd absorbs the in- terest of those who once found: their amusement in managing lacrosse jteams. There are reasons enough for a slump of interest in any game-end a. no one appears with any solution of kept alive it almost Zoos without saying that Incrosss ia dying at the root. It is still. of course, the most srectactlar of all games and still ap- peals to the Canadian more strongly then any other sport. Larger crowds have attended professional Incrosse matehss this season than lever before. But with the shrinkage jim the supply of lacrosse players: the auality of lacrosse must deteriorate Jana poorer lacrosse. will speedily Lrinz poorer gates, poorer press no- tices and a general lack of interest jon the part of the general public. As matter of fact this deteri tion nas already set in. In all Can- jada there are not more than three frst class teams and the other sen. lior clubs are wildly scrambling after anvthing that bears q resemblance to talint for seior clubs. Vancouver lis tryims to gather material from the ast whike che eastern clubs have al- up tried to coax player from the Pu- cific cvast. To boil it all down, there i8 not eaux lacrosse being played to pro- duce: players for the senior clubs, the lotd players are-dying out or getting pust their usefulness, and there are jnone to tate their places. Lacrosse is no longer played in the public schools or encouraged in the towns and village: where it appeared to be frnly rooced. And Qanada is in damzer of being robbed of splendid asset im the shape of a nationg? game that has given her spleag a men as well as provided her withthe jbest of rolaxation and amusersent Who can suggest q renyrty ? ee HORTONBURG HAPPENINGS 1 Horterseg, Nov, 3.

STRATHCONA, ALBERTA. FRIDAY, NOY. 5, 1909. eee tee THE PLAINDEALER JOB DEPARTMENT 1S UP-TO-DATE for the loadims platform at: that place. The-farmers are rewlizing more and more covery day the great benefits derived from the Government. tele- phone service in arranging prices of their products before hauling to, mar ket. It saves contention, horse-fledh, and freezing. AM the threvhing outfits have gone into winter quarters, having had a very successful seas: t j STATION FLOWER GARDENS. ieee The Montival Witness mays: Following a custom of thirteen yeara standing, Mr. N.S. Dunlop, the chief of the C. P. R. floral de- purtmnent, has sent out packages and bulbs to station agents and. section foremen from one ead of the com- Pony s syifem to the other, with a view to making the surroundings of the station buildings ws pleasing to the eye as possible in phe spring. Starting ov his own initiative tn quite a small way, Mr. Dunlop has succeeded So well in s curing the in- terest of noth the company and of the employees that there are now about 1,500 gardens between St. John, N. B., and Vancouver, B. C., which every) summer link up the towns of the Dominion in a flower chain that stretches across the con. tinent. Jn the spring packaees of seed ars sent out. Last spring there were over - fifteen hurired of packazes, cach containins tweaty- nine varietics of sexls. This week over tWo thousand soparate packages of bulbs have been sent, out, each package containing a selection of tu lips. marcissus, hyacinths, iris and Iilics. This representa half a million bulbs, and with the millions already in the groand from those sent in previous years, will mean that am in- calcularlo number of blossoms next spring will add to the gaiety and beauty of the. Dominion in places that would otherwise be the drear- iest of the drear Mr. Dunlop seid that the encour- agements he hax met with this vear in the work had been xteater than ever. The season had been an excel- lent om: for flowers and more agents than over had vied with cach other a8 to who should have the best dn. In each of the central, western and Pacific divivons during the sea- son just closed a prize of fifty dol- lurs had been offered to the agent having the best kept garden, and the competition had been a Very keen one. I mever have advocated growing flowers for prizes, said Mr. Dunlop, because T think the growing of them is its own reward, and ought not to be q mere mercinary matter. In send: img out the seeds and bulbs, which are entirely free to all the station agenis and section foremen and oth- ers who ask for them, we make no stipulations whatever 9s to their use hut leave the individual perfectly free ax to the manner in which he will use them. This system han succeed- ed admirably, and ha: thon anything else. T think. to ths love of flowers in the Dominion, for where the station agent has a good Kerden you will soon see the citizens following suit. Still, with o view to still further increasing the interert. im flower growing, it is Probable that wa shall next year fol- low the examjie of the western end of th- system, and offer prizes in the ist for the best gardens. Mr. Danton had in bis office this morning Tumerovs photographs of retty gardens along the company s ines, and numerous letters from em- ployees, mien and their wives, ex- fressing appreciation of his help in their xardening elorts, Hero isa typical letter of muny received, this one being from Annabella Van Syekle, of Chelmstord, Ont. We took a trip out to Vancouver and Victoria this year, and I think that the C.P.R. floral department has every reason to be proud of its work. The grounds at Winniper, Re- Kina. Mroudview and Field are sim- ply grand. some. beautiful beyond description, Dut the small stations had very few flowers and all the way out did not sx rife stations in a town the same nize as ours that could mqual, or be compared with our own lawn and gardens. 1 did not have very much luck with some bulbe but I guess it was my own fault, for I think the room was too warm for shem, but the -begonias, they were Perfection in themselves. Several of them were nearly five inches lomg by shades. Every person was admiring them and wanting to know if they qld cet slipe and cuttings.
