I m I l Q i 1. V l . 1 44 SPECULA NOMS DE CHEFS INDIENS DANS NOTRE TOPONYMIE N grand nombre de particularites geographiques du Canada portent les noms de chefs indiens. Il y a exacte- ment 100 ans qu'a paru pour la premiere fois sur une carte le nom de Petawawa, qui designe le camp militaire bien connu, etabli sur la rive de l'Outaouais dans le Comte de Renfrew, Ontario. D'apres les archives de la Commission de Geographie, la riviere Petawawa parait sur une carte dressee en 1829 par le Colonel John By, qui construisit le canal Rideau. Le chef indien Petawawa aurait chasse dans la region et la signification du nom est le son s'en vient ou son qui approchef' Dans le Nouveau-Brunswick, les rivieres Barnaby, Bartibog, Cain et Taxis portent les noms de chefs indiens qui vecurent sur les bords de ces cours d'eau. Dans le Quebec, la ville de Donnaconna rappelle le souvenir du Useigneur du Canada,,' qui fut amene en France par Jacques Cartier en 1536 et qui mourut la-bas. Au Manitoba, le bureau de poste de Peguis a recu le nom d'un chef saulteux ei qui la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson accorda une rente viagere de .1-35. C'etait un ami des colons de la Ri- viere Rouge iWinnipegD et il etait bien dispose envers les blancs. Dans la Sas- katchewan, la tradition veut que la colline Cutknife commemore le souvenir d'un chef sarsi qui fut tue a cet endroit au cours d'un combat contre les Cris. Dans l'Alberta, le village de Crowfoot, la station de chemin de fer de Mekasto et le lac Chiniki rappel- lent le souvenir de chefs indiens qui, lors de la venue des blancs, renoncerent a la possession de vastes etendues de terre et cesserent la lutte contre les autres tribus indigenes. Crowfoot, grand chef des Pieds- Noirs, etait un homme de sens pratique, adonne a la guerre, qui garda sa tribu en paix avec les blancs. Mekasto, ou le Choucas , grand chef des Kainahs, resta loyal durant la rebellion de 1885. Chiniki etait un chef de la tribu des Assiniboines. Le col Kananaskis dans des Rocheuses porte le nom d'un Indien qui, blesse d'un coup de hache, se retablit d'une facon in- esperee. La riviere Pouce Coupe, dans l'Alberta et la Colombie-Britannique, fut nommee d'apres un chef de la tribu des Amikwas qui s'etablit sur ce cours d'eau avec 500 de ses congeneres. Dans la Col- ombie-Britannique, le lac Kinbasket, elar- gissement du fieuve Columbia, fut ainsi nomme en 1866 par Walter Moberly, I.C., d'apres un chef de la tribu des Shuswaps qui lui rendit des services au cours d'un voyage d'exploration.

WWE... BAM 46 SPECULA GALTONIA K Princess Chrysanthemum N the evenings of February, the twentieth and twenty-first, the Glee Club and Orchestra of the G. C. I. presented the operetta, Princess Chrysan- themum, under the direction of Mr. Nicol, A.C.C.O., and we may justly say it proved a huge success in every respect. The Emperor, Wendel Cartwright, gave a fine display of good singing. When he announced his determination to abolish decapitation for criminals and substitute suspension, head downwards, over a slow fire, his subjects expressed deep gratitude for this clemency. A great fete was being held in honour of the coming of the Emperor's daughter, Princess Chrysanthemum. Alice Iredale played the role with great ability. The princess had two lovers, Prince So- Tru fRobert Dayj and Prince So-Sli CEI- mer Casselb. The princess favoured Prince So-Tru and to revenge himself, Prince So-Sli had the princess taken prisoner and carried away to the cave of Inky Night, by Saucer Eyes, the Wizard Cat. This character was extremely well taken by Thomas Stuart. Princess Chrysanthemum, imprisoned in the Cave of Inky Night, with the aid of a magic ring, summoned the Fairy Moon- beam, who was about to help her when she dropped the ring and could not find it. Dorothy Buchanan, as Fairy Moonbeam, the guiding spirit of the princess, acted with charming grace and sang with sweet- ness and good effect. Fairy Moonbeam disappeared at the loss of the ring and the unhappy princess was left to bewail her fate. So-Tru managed to obtain entrance to the cave, and found the ring, which at once caused Fairy Moonbeam to return and aid him. At that moment the Emperor arrived with his attendants, and took Saucer Eyes prison- er, bearing him in triumph to his palace. Threatened with torture, Saucer Eyes, confessed the complicity of Prince So-Sli, whom the Emperor ordered to instant exe- cution. That was, however, frustrated by the appearance of Princess Chrysanthe- mum, accompanied by Prince So-Tru and Fairy Moonbeam with her band. The Em- peror pardoned Saucer-Eyes, and So-S11 at the Princess' request, and gave her hand in marriage to Prince So-Tru, thus bringing everything to a happy conclusion. The character of Top-Knot, the court chamberlain, was well interpreted by Leon- ard Hertel. The quartette of dancers, Marion Smith, Elsie Elston, Kathyrn Bernhardt and Margaret McCallum, gave a delightful exhibition of clever dancing. The princess was attended by four maid- ens, Marian Steen, Ilea Lucas, Mary Stuart, Mardie Pratt, Marian's solo being of outstanding merit. Especially effective was the work of the chorus at the beginning and end of each act. Their harmony was well balanced and their work throughout the whole play be- tokened enthusiastic practice. A great deal of the success of the per- formers must be attributed to the orches- tra, which worked hard, and deserves great praise. Mr. Wholton, our principal, helped the Glee Club with untiring efforts, to pre- sent something of which the school could be very proud. He not only gave freely of his valuable time to the actual producing of the play but aided in various other im- portant ways. Miss Duggan, who looked after the dances and Mrs. C. Knowles and Miss Knapp who superintended the cos- tumes, must also receive great credit. Mr. J. C. Nicol, who conducted the oper- etta, always remained confident through many discouragin practices, and now is to be highly compiimented on his success. The Glee Club intends to give another operetta next year, and once again we wish them the very best of success. 24 Pk 22 Cassel, in spite of all his make-up and great attempts at laughter, which indeed were good-appeared normal again and is asking as many questions as ever. Pk Pls 25 Our sympathies are with Cartwright as his shoes were about three sizes too large, and his pigtail tickled the back of his neck unmercifully.
