Old correspondence files retrieved from musty government archives, reveal that Sir Freder- feck Haultain, when premier of the North West Territories, made a similar suggestion just thirty years ago. When the formation of the province of Saskatchewan first was mooted and negotiations to that end were in progress, Sir Frederick, in a letter to Sir Clif- ford Sifton, dated April 2, 1902, wrote: "With regard to diverg- ence of opinion as to one or more prairie provinces, I might say that this is a difficulty which will always arise and which any post- ponement of action will not re- chewan and a portion of Manito- ba. In this connection Sir Freder- ick wrote: "In considering the question of the area to be includ- ed in the province, it may be claimed that the area proposed is too large for one province," After pointing to the areas of cther provinces, Sir Frederick continues: "Our present cost of government only amounts to 10 per cent, of the annual territorial expenditures, which is much less than the percentage of charge for this service in the older provinces and indicates that the present machinery of government is well suited to the requirements of the country and can be extended much more cheaply and satisfac- torily than any new government department can be organized." Under date of January 31, 1903, Sir Frederick wrote Sir Clifford in part, as follows: "The government has prazented the federal authorities the claim of the people of the Territories in a document which has been published widely, In that docu- ment the Territorial government has expressed its opinion in favor of the organization of one prov- ince only. Action upon the whole question has been postponed by the Dominion government princi- pally upon the ground that there is a divergence of opinion respect- follows: ourselves. 'Dollar Day Mess Mayor Peter A. Macdonald, in a message dic- tated this morning for this special Dollar Day edition of The Daily Times, expressed himself as age om "The idea of Dollar Day, when the merchants of this city combine in a co-operative effort to hasten the period of prosperity for which we all hope so fervently, cannot help but meet with the endorsement of all thinking men and women. "The press all over this vast continent hag been impressing upon us recently that this so-called de- pression is 'merely an attitude of mind', and that, apparently, the remedy for hard times lies within "In other words we are told that optimists and go-Zetters never feel depressed. be something in this.

"In this community effort sponsored and made possible by the Oshawa Retail Merchants, speaking as Mayor of this city, I sincerely trust that an added impetus will be the result so far as the business conditions of Oshawa are concerned. "To the buying public, the majority of whom must make every dollar bring in one hundred per cent. of value, I would say that the opportunities which will offer themselves for obtaining outstand- ing values during the three Dollar Days of this week, must not lightly be overlooked."

For four days the first three division practiced in the same room while» the Control . group was placed in a separate room, "4 The Praised group was lauded for its efforts before the class my diamond ring off my finger and I can't find it anywhere."

Sir Frederick always wanted the province to be greatly larger than was finally created as Sas- katchewan. In support of this a resolution was passed in the North West assembly asking for one province that would include all territory now occupied by the provinces of Alberta and Saskat- snd encouraged to do better work but the Reproved group re- ceived scowls and criticism for poor work and general inferiority to other pupils, The Ignored group received no recognition whatever and the same treatment was accorded the Control group.
