DEATH BEHOVES COLORFILFIGURE William Trahair Held Master Papers in Sail and Steam; Homesteaded in 1906 MATADOR. With the death of William James Trahair, 79, this district lost Its most colorful and ro-mantto figure.

Ha was bom In Peru of Cornish parentage. At an early age he accompanied his parents to England and later to Australia where he worked for a time in his father store. Like many of his race he answered the call of the deep and went to sea, sailing before the mast In an old windjammer. He worked his way from the forecastle' to the bridge and waa one of the few who held masters papers In both sail and steam. During hit sailing days he visited most of the ports of the southern hemisphere and knew them and their people as few ever get to know them.

He quit the sea before being given command of a ship and came to Manitoba in 1904. In 1906 he homesteaded in the Rose-town district. In 1910 he settled on the land that has been his home since. He was an accomplished linguist, conversing in French and Spanish as fluently as English. He also had a working knowledge of many of the dialects of the southern sees.

Death was due to a stroke which he suffered while eating breakfast Mr, Trahair had worked his own farm up until two years ago. Beside a host of friends In this district he leaves a daughter, thought to be residing in or near Chicago, and a sister In England. Inter-, ment was made In the Horse Butte Anglican cemetery, the short graveside service being conducted by the Rev. Mr. Young of Tuberose.

The high esteem in which he was held was evidenced by the massive and beautiful wreath from "Friends and Neighbors. Remember 25th Year Of Members Wedding SPEERS. At the June meeting of the Ladles Aid Society of Speers United Church held at the home of Mrs. P. Reilly on Thursday afternoon, Mrs.

Hanson at Expanse, Saak. Two weeks ago she staited for the Canadian home of her father and mother.

Her parents became Canadian citizens and she resided with them until 1932, when she moved to the United States. Miss Hanson said she has submitted her case to the American consul at Regina.

Not Right to Talk Of Dole, She Says British Health Official Visits Regina; Here to Speak About England REGINA, June 13. Dole ia an ugly word, and the relief granted English unemployed after their unemployed insurance benefits expire should really be called unem-ployment assistance.

according to Miss Zoe Puxley, principal officer the division of public assistance, In the British ministry of health, who arrived In Regina Saturday morning. Miss Puxley. who is In charge of public relief in Britain, was in Winnipeg during the last few days, when the Bank of Montreal announced tnat it cannot longer lend the city money for relief purposes, after July 1. She commented during a hurried interview that she felt there were some grounds for the claim the Federal Government should share a greater part of the relief responsibility, but declined to say anything further. Im supposed to have been aent here to talk about England, not Canada, she Indicated.

I really know practically nothing about ths relief problem hfcre." WANT BOARD ARMAN, June 12.

GEIlERflL Applications for licenses to engage In business as a retailer, requited with the passing of the Hales Tax at the last session of the Saskatchewan legislature, are now available at the ouUhouse here. Under the piovlaions of the act.

no vendor is allowed to sell any tangible peisonal property In the Province at a retail sale unless he holds a license to do so. The licenses are issued without fee.

Ask Immediate Aid In Drouth Country Shaunavon Fanners Want Money for Re-establishment In Other Districts Requests that the Government grant $3,000 to fanners in the drouth areas wishing to re-establish themselves on a self-supporting basis in other sections of the Province, and that meanwhile, increased relief and other assistance be given drouth area farmers, was contained in resolutions passed recently by a meeting of farmers at Shaunavon. The resolutions were received here Saturday by Frank Eliason, secretary of the United Farmers of Canada, (Saskatchewan Section).

The communication, after stating the desperate conditions under which southern Saskatchewan farmers find themselves, requests an immediate Increase in Government relief, and also that the Government take care of the livestock now near the starvation point on southern farms. These measures are necessary immediately, the latter states, A practical solution to the drouth problem is also suggested. The bonuslng of farmers to reestablish them by granting not less than $3,000 and allowing him to choose any community hr may wish, provided the Government approve the location, was the first step advocated in the re-establishment plan. An Immediate survey of ail lands available for settlement, irrespective of whether the land Is publicly oi privately owned, was advocated as the second re-settlement step. Institution of old age pensions to farmers over 60 years of age, In order that they may have a reasonable assurance of living in the dried out area was also suggested.

This measure W'ould open opportunities for younger persons. It could not be expected that farmers who had spent 25 to 30 years on farms In southern Saskatchewan could be expected to undertake the strenuous work necessary In hewing out a new existence on new land. A public works program, aimed at irrigation of the drouth area and regrassing of the barren lands, was the final suggestion made in the report, which will be submitted to the Government. Given Coronation Medal by Princess Regimental Sergeant Major Strumm Relates Interesting Sidelight of Trip An interesting episode which made Regimental Sergeant Major R. S.

Strumm of Saskatoon the only member of visiting Coronation troops to receive the Coronation medal from Princess Elizabeth was related by him to members of the 12th District Signals at a smoker in the Aimouries here Friday night. Recipients of the royal favor were lined up in two rows, and members of the Royal Family personally presented the souvenir medals td the visiting contingents, including troops from various parts of the Empire. Regimental Sergeant Major Strumm was among those who received their medals from the Queen, who apparently overlooked him, in turning from one line of recipients to the other. When Her Majestys attention was called to the omission, she sent Princess Elizabeth with the medal to decorate the Saskatoon-warrant officer. Sergeant Major Strumm said he was overwhelmed by the hospitality and the lavish entertainment extended the visiting troops by the English people.

He spoke warmly of the elaborate arrangements made for the troops. During the festivities, 57,000 men were quar-tcied in and just outside London. The Canadians were welcomed enthusiastically and especially during the Coronation procession. An amusing incident concerning Pimcess Elizabeth was also told by Sergeant Major Strumm. The princess apparently took much pleasure from the salute of a palace guard, and one day she marched up and down in front of the sentry until a member of the royal household noticed the man's plight and he promptly took the princess back Into the palace.

While prepayments were lighter during the early part of 1937 than for the previous year, payments of arrears weie heavier. Since' it is taken for granted that persons prepaying last year, will at least pay up while their taxes are still current, tax officials feel that the last half should show a substantial Improvement over the last six months of 1936.
