"== - idge : Hews ALBERTA, Lethbri LETHBRIDGE, ju ul | It is time that some action-was taken | in regard to e Cemetery, | which is certainly deserving of 0 ‘ regard from the public than it iy now | receiving. From the first it has sutfer-| ed through being unde: page= ment of contiel. Everyone has been at liberty to select their own locatic for burials, with the result that though the ground was originally sur veyed into distinct lots, these sub- Qivisions-have not been regarded, and in aome cases graves have been dug in the dividing road. The result has been to altogether destroy the symetery of the grounds, and it‘would be (ifficult how to remedy this, Again, x good fence was erected some years ay) around the whole cemetery, but thi: has been allowed to stand neglected ‘and unimproved ever since, with the result that it is now in a disgracefully | © dilapidated state. It no louger alfowls protection against cattle, who now desecrate our graveyard, grazing in it and trampling down_the mounds. But there is yet another dan still more serious nature which threat- ens the cemetery. ‘The works of num ber three shaft which are now. being rapidly pushed in that dirccti threaten to cause a in of the sur face, as has happened in numerous other places near the town, If this occurs, as it is expected shortly to do, it will play havoc with the cemete Although # cave-in does not usuall cause the upper crust to subside more than afew feet, this would be quite sufficient to-cause a mix up of the coffins resting five or six feet below the surface, especially where the graves are close together. It might thus hap- pen that the remains of some of the dead might be shifted under the ad- joining lot and finally Fepose under a headstone raised to the memory of an altogether different person, ‘This isa matter sufficiently serious to deserve consideration. ‘The present cemetery was never well located, and iiow standing as it does between two shafts with piles of slack and dirt being daily dumped around, it is becoming more and more unsight! all the time, Itisalso too far ont of the town for the graves to receive proper care and attention from those interested in them, especially in view of the impossibility of getting water toit. Respect and regard for the rest- ing places of departed loved. ones'is one of the highest. and purest signs of civilization, and no community can afford ta_slight or disrespect what is = thete oljeious duty even if thelr ow feelings do not prompt them, to care for the graves of their dead. The pre- sent state of affairs in this respect is Gisgraceful and some remedy must be found for it. Every cemetery should be under sonie control or managem@nt and-a municipal management is gener- ally preferable to that of a private company, If nothing can be done to save the present_ cemetery, the best course would be for the Town to secure anew dne, manage it properly, and sell the lots in it, at reasonable prices to recoup themselves for the cost. If the present. cemetery is changed, an endeavour should be made to secure a site in the river bottom above the flood level, either among or in’ the vicinity of trees, 20 that those who desire to do so might endeavour with some pros pect of success to make the graves of their loved ones attractive with fowers and shrubs. But if the present cemre- tery is to be retained it should be handed over tothe town at once and steps taken to preserve itsas far as pos- ble from the danger that threatens it and to remedy the mistakes (iat Nave in the past been made, f eT t v r t of a fe tt t ti h 1 before starting south into the mining Recently the old smelter The Honourable Mr. Blair is the prominent figure in Canadian politics today, occupying about the same pos- ition in our Government as does Mr. ‘Chamberlain in the Imperial one. His views as expressed when the Calgary and Edmonton railway bill was before the House are enlightened and patr’ otic, No doubt many of his present colleagues, as well as many of those who have preceded them in cabinet offices, hold the same views, but Mr, —Blair is the first-who has had the force em, In thé same way he seems determined in spite 6f all opposing elements to preserve the Crow’s Nest Pass from being monopolized by- any one road, if possible from the threatened-mon- opoly due to the action of her own Government in having either inadve tently. or fraudulently surrendered all its coal lands to one company.
