THE PRINCE OF PEACE DEDICATION TO JESUS CHRIST KING OF AGES IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE THE ONLY GOD WHO MAKETH PEACE THROUGH THE BLOOD OF HIS CROSS TO WHOM BE HONOUR AND GLORY FOR -EVER AND EVER WE DEDICATE THIS YEAR BOOK. 1942 THREE HIS EXCELLENCY, THE MOST REV. P. J. MONAHAN, D.D. Archbishop of Regina. With pleasure I see the second issue of the “Stella Oriens” being presented to the former pupils of Sacred Heart College as a reminder of the constant love of their Alma Mater. The big world which has taken such pride in banishing God from its schools is now face to face with the dire results of its perverse acts. A very pronounced movement is on foot in all the Provinces of Canada to restore religion to its proper place in the education of youth. We rejoice at the change and we call upon our people to see once more the wisdom of Mother Church in resisting all opposition and in overcoming all trials with the aim of keeping religion as an essential part of the Christian form of education. Hoping that Sacred Heart College may ever be proud of her Gradu¬ ates and that they will ever strive to be leaders in all that is virtuous and patriotic, I remain, Sincerely yours in Our Lord, t P. J. MONAHAN, Archbishop of Regina. FOUR Stella Oriens wishes to acknowledge its indebtedness to the following patrons: Miss Patricia Andrews, Winnipeg Mrs. C.

EDITORIAL The American essayist, Emerson, has said “that the chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do the best we can.” He may be right, because one of the things most evident in human nature is its constant tendency to slip back. A school is normally called Alma Mater, that is, the best of friends, because the purpose of a school is to urge us on to better things.to make us do the best we can. How truly this can be said of Sacred Heart College ! All who have spent two or three years here will agree that it has prepared them to enter life with confidence in their own abilities, a knowledge of the basic elements of unchanging human nature, a high moral standard, a well dev¬ eloped character and the habit of looking on the bright side of things. Under the careful guidance of excellent teachers who possess the intellectual and moral qualifications necessary, and who manifest a sincere love for those who are confided to them, we have received the true Christian education which His Holiness, the late Pope Pius XI, set f orth in his en¬ cyclical on “The Christian Education of Youth.” After but a few of our informal and cheery classes, wherein we touch on other fields than those prescribed, we gain a new interest in, and love for, learning and this taste for knowledge is never allowed to go un¬ satisfied. Especially are we shown the Catholic viewpoint on all matters, the rightness of the Church’s mind, thus enabling us to uphold and defend our Christian Faith. The story of the ages has been unfolded to us, in which we see the Church as the greatest civilizing and uplifting force in history. We are thus encouraged to strive after the better things, to en¬ deavour that the age-old tradition of learning and culture proper to Catho¬ lic Christianity shall not be broken, but rather deepened and strengthened in our age and time.we have been made to do the best we can. In the spiritual life also, we are encouraged not to be content with mediocrity, but to aspire to higher levels. In our College every opportunity is given us of becoming exemplary Catholics.daily Mass, an Annual Retreat, Catholic companions, an abundance of Catholic literature, a clear knowledge of Catholic doctrine, and the very best of example. Life in our “family circle”, composed of persons of varying character and inclinations, affords us the occasion of becoming proficient in that basic Christian virtue, Charity. All these have impressed upon us the greatness of our responsi¬ bility, and instilled into our hearts a desire to do our utmost to make them effective in the world. (Continued on Page 9.) SIX 1.

Euphrasie Barbier, the oldest of five children was born on January 4, 1829, at Caen in Normandy. It was in the atmosphere of faith and piety of a truly Christian family that the future missionary grew up. In mental capacity as wed as in the qualities of heart she was well gifted. Her mother taught her the truths of faith, implanted in her young soul an ardent love for God, a tender devotion to the Blessed Virgin, to the Angels and Saints. Like every good Christian mother, Mme. Barbier did not hesitate to correct and punish little Euphrasie for her faults. She seized every oppor¬ tunity of exciting in her a love of virtue and a horror of vice. At the age of six years Euphrasie became a pupil of the Sisters of Providence in her native town. So well did she learn her Catechism and grasp the truths of religion that when about ten years of age, an unusual age at that time, she was admitted to her First Communion. On that occa¬ sion, we are told, she first felt that God called her to the religious life. It is also said that in her ardent zeal for God’s greater glory and the salvation of souls, the child would insist on praying for the conversion of the devil and of the lost souls. As she grew older, Euphrasie felt a great attraction for the foreign Missions and she longed to devote herself to the conversion of pagan child¬ ren in far away lands. This fact is all the more strange as at that period religious women did not go far from their own countries to work for souls. By fervent prayer and self-denial, the future missionary sought to know the Will of God in her regard. The more she prayed, the stronger became her conviction that she was called to devote herself to the foreign missions. God’s Will was made manifest in the year 1861. On August 15, of that year, under the direction of Reverend Father Favre, Superior General of the Marist Fathers, Euphrasie Barbier, now Mother Marie du Coeur de Jesus founded a Congregation under the title of Daughters of Notre Dame des Missions. This title testified to the desire of the Foundress for the extension of God’s Kingdom, not only in the hearts of the Sisters but also in those of heretics and infidels. EIGHT Other generous souls soon came to enroll themselves under the banner of Our Lady of the Missions. The result was that in October 1864, the first band of sisters sailed for Napier, New Zealand where the first Missionary House of the Institute was opened. In 1883 the first House in the vast Indian missionfield was established by the Foundress herself at Chittagong, East Bengal. Two Houses in England and several others in New Zealand were opened during the lifetime of the Foundress. Despite a very frail and delicate constitution Mother Marie du Coeur de Jesus twice visited her convents in far New Zealand and everywhere won the hearts of those with whom she came in contact by her spirit of zeal, her simplicity and charity. Towards the end of October, 1892, Very Reverend Mother went to visit the houses in England. While in Sturry, near Canterbury, she was attacked by her last illness. During these days of suffering she prayed unceasingly. When told that God was about to call her to Himself, she joyfully exclaimed, “Deo Gratias” and shortly afterwards went to receive the reward of her saintly life. It was on January 18, 1893 that, as became a missionary religious, far from her own country. Reverend Mother Marie du Coeur de Jesus gave up her soul to God for Whose glory she had sacri¬ ficed herself. The mortal remains of this valiant woman are buried in the Chapel of the Convent of St. Anne, Sturry, Kent. M. A. EDITORIAL (Continued from Page 6.) The well-ordered discipline and training proper to Catholic schools helps to develop in us a high moral sense, and the habit of doing things because they ought to be done. This is nothing else than striving to keep inclination and passion subject to reason, which is the ideal of natural human perfection.the best we can do. I n this literary venture we are also urged to do the best we can. The effort has been almost exclusively our own, and we present our Year Book to our readers in the hope that they too will agree that our College has fulfilled for us the chief want in life. We wish to express our hearty thanks to our Patrons and Advertisers for their help. We also wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Z. M. Hamilton of the Saskatchewan Historical Society, the Leader Post, and the Bureau of Publications of the Provincial Govern¬ ment for their valuable assistance. —P. O’F. NINE j eacCy he iuit of justice With the children of the Church throughout the world, we would pay tribute to Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, in this year of his episcopal jubilee, by presenting to our readers a short sketch of the first three years of his pontificate. In the late afternoon of March 2, 1939, a tense crowd stood, silent and expectant, in huge St. Peter’s square, while the brilliant glow of an Italian sunset lit the sky. Suddenly a murmur went through the crowd. Smoke was coming from the fateful chimney, smoke to announce to the waiting thousands the results of the Cardinals’ ballots. But was that smoke white—proclaiming that a new Pontiff had been elected, or black—a sign that the ballot had failed? Against the brilliant sky it was impossible to tell. So, while the disappointed crowd argued over the color of the smoke a broadcast was sent from the Vatican—Eugenio Paceili was Pope. Thus strangely enough. Catholics the world over, miles from the scene of the great drama knew the climax before those who had spent weary hours at the very door of the theatre. But when the glad tidings were finally an¬ nounced to the crowds in the Square, scarcely had they heard, “Eugenium”, when they broke out into the “Te Deum.” To the Romans there was but one Eugenio, their beloved Cardinal Paceili. As the throng was leaving St. Peter’s, newsboys were already on the scene with “extras”, bearing the picture of the newly elected Pontiff. Amazed at this evidence of journal¬ istic speed, the crowds mechanically reached for the news-sheets. Yes, there was the face of Pius XII, but the close observer noticed that the hands were those of Pius XL Ten days later, in the afternoon of March 12, 1939, Eugenio Paceili appeared on a balcony of St. Peter’s in Rome in view of cheering thousands who jammed the vast square before the ancient church. After four hours of solemn ceremonial within the red and gold bedecked basilica, he had come outdoors to receive the triple tiara as Father of Princes and Kings, Rector of the world and Vicar of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which symbolized his accession as Pope Pius XII. A shadow was lifted from crowds thronging below for they spoke of three happy omens. The new Pontiff’s family name, Paceili, was derived from the Italian “pace” meaning peace. He had chosen as his papal title the name of his predecessor—Pius XI—Pope of peace. A dove bringing an olive branch figured prominently on his personal coat of arms. TEN However, in spite of the happy auguries pointing to an early peace, war has tightened its death grip on the world and war has added immeas¬ urable burdens both practical and spiritual to the already heavy task set before Pius XII. In his short reign of three years, Pope Pius XII has raised several servants of God to the honours of the altar.St. Gemma Galgani, St. Euphrasie Pelletier, St. Maria Cabrini, Bl. Phillipine Duchesne, Bl. Joach- ima be Vedruna, Bl. Maria Crucifixia di Rosa, Bl. Ignatius ar Laconi, to mention only a few. Our Holy Father has recently erected a new arch¬ diocese in the United States. The election of Cardinal Pacelli meant continuance of Pius XI’.s policy which as Papal Secretary of State he had helped to effect; a policy of opposition to race prejudice, religious persecution, and what is most important — to wars of aggression. His first message was a plea for peace; he made untiring efforts to convene a five-power conference for peaceful settlement of Europe’s problems. His views on the Social Structure were clearly set forth in his broadcast from Rome, June 1, 1941, wherein he declared that individual right cannot in any way be suppressed. As the war has gone on, pained but not daunted when his proposals are politely eluded, Pius has repeatedly renewed his peace efforts. Diplomatic advan¬ ces, offers of mediation and appeals to dictators have been reinforced with orders for public Masses and Crusades of Prayer, for special appeals to the Blessed Virgin by little children bearing flowers. The Pope himself has been besieged by appeals, public and private, from statesmen, church¬ men and laymen to take more active steps against war; he has been simul¬ taneously applauded for vigor and denounced for weakness. From the first momentous days of his reign, nay, even from his first words as Pope ail his efforts have been for Peace. His motto like a gleam¬ ing star has guided his actions and his diplomacy. “Peace, the fruit of Justice”. His Easter Homily pursued this theme of peace, when to an anxious world he pleaded for peace based on justice and charity. Peace could not exist, he said, if solemnly sanctioned pacts and the plighted word had lost that value indispensable to reciprocal confidence. A remarkable diplomatic development in Pius XII’s reign was Presi¬ dent Roosevelt’s appointment of Mr. Myron Taylor as his private ambassa¬ dor to the Holy See, for in making the appointment President Roosevelt had broken a 70-year-old tradition — the last official representative of the United States had left Rome in 1870. The Pope described the President’s action as undoubtedly helping in the common aim, to secure peace and lighten the suffering of war. The personal letter of introduction from the President carried the felicitations of Roosevelt to Pius: “I am asking Mr. Taylor”, the letter stated, “to convey my cordial greetings to you my old and good friend and my sincere hope that the common ideals of religion and humanity itself can have united expression for the re-establishment of a more permanent peace on the foundations of freedom and assurances of life and integrity of all nations under God.” Both sides however, found some comfort in the Pope’s outline for a post war settlement in June, 1941. In it he defended private property, asked for more equitable distribution of the world’s goods, for respect for the rights of workers, for respect for the integrity of the family and for less restriction on immigration by large nations and since then the Vatican has persisted in its attitude of strict neutrality. When Myron Taylor had audiences with the Pope again in the fall of 1941, reportedly to get him to declare the war with Germany as a just one, nothing came of it. Thus the smallest kingdom in the world under his rule, is today a sanctuary-prison for diplomats of countries at war with Italy. Pius XII himself is neither Pro-ally nor Pro-axis. He is the Vicar of his Church whose welfare he must place before all temporal matters. Yet, declares the Osservatore Romano, neither is he a neutral. He should be considered a combatant fighting for a just peace based on the five points he has twice repeated: 1. To assure the right to life and independence to all nations, great and small, powerful and weak, is a fundamental postulate for a just and honourable peace. 2. To establish this, the nations must be freed from the heavy burden of the armaments ' race. 3. Juridicial institutions must guarantee the loyal and lawful applica¬ tion of an agreement. Arbitrary and unilateral interpretations of a treaty must be avoided. 4. The just demands of the nations and peoples and also of the ethnic minorities must be considered if necessary, by means of a just, wise, and acceptable revision of treaties. 5. The Pope emphasized that those who govern the peoples must be imbued with a sense of responsibility. The exact attitude of the Pope towards the ever-interesting Spanish question can perhaps be best set forth briefly by his famous telegram to General Franco of Burgos: Lifting up Our heart to the Lord we give sincere thanks with Your Excellency for Spain ' s desired Catholic victory. We express Our vows that your most beloved country, peace attained, may undertake with new vigour the ancient Christian traditions which made her great. With affectionate sentiments We send Your Excellency and the whole noble Spanish people our Apostolic blessing. THIRTEEN It is significant to note that on that very day the United States Gov¬ ernment decided to recognize General Franco as a de jure ruler of Spain and lifted the embargo on the shipment of arms to Spain which had been in force for more than two years. The desire of allied and axis power to secure Papal friendship for their cause, or at least to determine the Papal attitude towards questions of the moment resulted in the arrival in Rome, of Sumner Wells and Von Ribbentrop. Mr. Wells learnt that the Pope still insisted on the famous five points which he outlined in his Christmas Eve address. In London there was much appreciation of the Pope’s resolute answers to Von Ribben- trop’s specious talk of peace. It was said the talks appeared to have been fruitless and that the Pope had “delicately snubbed” the German Foreign Minister. In concise, unequivocal language Pius XII makes it clear where lies the original cause of the chaos we have inherited from the time of the French Revolution to our own distraught times. “It is the rejection of a universal norm of morality, as well for individual and social as for inter¬ national relations. The Pontiff prays for a return of a salutary “thirst for truth, justice, and the peace of Christ...” that “to those who are indifferent as yet or hostile to Christ may come a ray of the light which once trans¬ formed Saul into Paul.” Here we have the patience and faith of the saints. Little wonder that wise men everywhere are unreservedly conceding that, above the din of conflicting passions, there is one sane voice in Europe today — the voice of the reigning Pontiff of Rome, the 12th to bear the glorious name of Pius. —P.

SEVENTEEN iSketch es.... PEGGY OTLANAGAN— Melfort ' s gift to Sacred Heart is a blonde, blue-eyed miss, the big sister of the College who has done her utmost to make life easier for us by showing us all the tricks of the trade, such as How to Play Bridge in Two Easy Lessons or How to Fall Asleep Two Minutes Before Your Class Begins . Peg is an expert at table-tennis and skating, as well as at her studies, and has the gift of making friends. This charming, care-free Irish colleen has withal o depth of purpose that keeps her at her game of sol itary until she wins. PHYLLIS BELL— When Phyl finally arrives, she is Professor Quiz in class and Baby Snooks during hours off. Though subject to much banter, she remains per¬ sistently good-humoured. Phyllis mafiages tolerably well to hide the stores of grey matter that her blonde head contains, except for an occasional reve¬ lation on an exam. For a wee ' un her aims are high, high enough in fact that she can fancy herself as a stewardess for the T.C.A. With a wonderful facility for making alibis and spilling everything, her future is hard to predict. FRANCES SMITH— Fran is the chief musician of our little group who used her music chiefly as an excuse to get out of homework. She is also proficient in skating, bridge table-tennis, knitting and writing poetry (?) Her numerous friends, stationed at strategic points, help to keep us posted on current events. Frances is the blue fairy to the Academy-College Postal system and there ' s nary a day but an odd-shaped parcel totters precariously atop the load of books. Her ambition is to be, or at least to look like, an intellectual. MARGARET BROWN— So far, we have not been able to discover, either where Marg ' s home is, or how many relatives she has, or where she finds the questions which she springs on the harassed professor. She came to us with a Scholarship and has ably sustained her reputation, though her first attention was always given to her diary. She is sometimes hard put to it to keep up with her mending. Margaret should make a success of life for she con sell anything from ideas tc ads, including tickets. EIGHTEEN MARION BELL— Our capable, efficient steno from the business world, who detoured into the intellectual to see how the other half lives and decided to stay, to look after Phyllis. Her company and her conversation, sparkling with wit, are a delight to all of us. Marion ' s two chief concerns, besides Economics, are finding her lost possessions and saying all the prayers she has promised if she finds them. She has definite ambitions.which she has not divulged.and the determined spirit to realize them Her sense of humour will help her to carry her (no light load) over the rocks of life —A. B. OUR NORMALITES MARGIE KINES— Diminutive, vivacious, talkative, full of energy, which she would rather save for dancing, sometimes puzzled about how she will manage three escorts at one function. HELEN KAUFMAN— Too plump for her own liking; red-headed, against her wishes; con¬ vinced that she is foredoomed to complete failure; always frantic about how she will ever get it done; devoted to dieting though she never gets results; but withal imperturably good-natured, and everybody ' s best friend. JUNE WHALL— Sylph-like and slim, with a figure that all her friends envy, brown-eyed and wavy-haired, very fond of sound effects, whether produced from the piano, her own vocal chords, or mere doors. VIVIAN LORETH— The personification of solid common sense, with a basic fund of real Christian piety, who occasionally reveals stores of wit and humour, a class A teacher, her professors say.what will she be, a career woman, a family woman, or a nun?.

TWENTY-ONE LE SAINT LAURENT De tous les spectacles grandioses que le Createur presente a I’oeil humaine, nul, a mon avis, depasse en splendeur, en richesse de coloris, en magnificence de toutes sortes, ce chef—d’oeuvre divin, cet apotheose de la creation, le beau fleuve St. Laurent. Les frequents voyages durant ma longue vie de missionaire me four- nissent I’occasion de jouir et d’ admirer les merveilleuses beautes de la nature, tant en Europe, qu’en Asie et en Amerique, mais chaque fois que la Divine Providence me ramene dans le cher Canada, ma patrie d’adop¬ tion, mon coeur deborde de joie et d’admiration lorsque le Paquebot s’engage entre les rives du majestueux St. Laurent. D’aussi loin que possible, I’oeil du voyageur, fatigue du monotone spectacle des vagues de 1’ Ocean, cherche avidement a decouvrir les rives hospitalieres canadiennes. Petit a petit le reve se realise car le grand bateau si fortement secoue sur les vagues houleuses du golfe s’ en va allegrement tomber dans les bras maternels du fieuve qui le bercera sur ses eaux calmes et limpides. L’ immensite des mers and les beautes de la nature elevent les ames vers rinfini; en les contemplant elles sont mues par un souffle divin qui les enivre de douceurs. On comprend le ravissement qui remplissait les coeurs d’une Ste. Monique et d’un St. Augustin, alors qu’etant ensemble a Ostie ils contemplaient le ciel et la mer dans une muette mais profonde meditation! Que dire du coucher du soleil sur le St. Laurent ? C’ est un spectacle ravissant, impossible a decrire; debout sur le pont le voyageur rega,rd3 et admire, il voit le jour disparaitre tout en eclairant le magnifique pano¬ rama qu’ il a sous ses yeux, le ciel semble se couvrir d’un manteau do diverses couleurs toutes plus ravissantes les unes que les autres, puis une brise legere vient animer ces corps flottants et confondre ces masses de blanc, d’ azur, de vert et rose, tout semble s’unir et les nuances et les murmures des eaux! Comme le Clovis de jadis, on se demande, “N’est-ce pas la I’antichambre du ciel?” Les merveilles du soleil couchant comme les merveilles du soleil levant, charment les yeux du voyageur attentif a gouter les beautes de la nature qui dans son muet langage proclame bien haut la puissance et la bonte du Dieu Createur du ciel et de la terre. Vcyez a 1’ Orient cette grande ligne de feu qui remplit tout I’espace; les premiers rayons sur les ondes majestueuses du St. Laurent, veulent aussi rendre hommage a leur Createur; les mouettes en choeur se reunis- TWENTY-TWO sent comme pour chanter leur priere du matin et saluer a leur maniere Celui de qui tous les etres ont regu la vie. Voila que les rives sont de plus en plus rapprochees, on dirait qu’elles invitent les voyageurs a mettre pied a terre, les jolis petits villages cana- diens s’annoncent par la flambee brillante de leurs clochers qui s’elevent vers le ciel, des collines garnies de maisons coquettes qui ressemblent aux plus gracieux nids d’ oiseaux caches dans le feuillage, envoient leur doux profil se refleter dans les eaux du fleuve St. Laurent, Tame enivree d’ amour et de reconnaissance envers le Createur de ces beautes de la nature, fait jaillir du coeur emu un sincere “Magnificat!” M.

THE QUEEN ' S DIAMONDS The year 1942 marks the diamond jubilee of the founding of the city of Regina, therefore we think it appropriate to give a sketch of the origin and growth of our capital city. To anyone viewing the fine modern city of Regina today with its hand¬ some tree-lined streets, modern buildings, network of railways, large and im¬ portant wholesale district, it would seem almost incredible that well within the memory of people still living, the site of this prairie city was far in the wilderness and furnished pasture grounds for the herds of wild buffalo. These sixty years that have elapsed since the first foundations were laid have been full of destiny and have witnessed a development in the city and region seldom equalled in the story of North America. In 1881, the Regina plains lay as they came from the hands of God. There was then neither the house of a white man nor habitation in all the hundreds of miles that extended from Fort Qu ' Appelle to where the Bow River poured its flood through the foothill ranges of the Rocky Mountains. The new Trans-Canada Railroad had reached the Assiniboine river in the vicinity of the modern town of Brandon, and was making preparations to throw its shin¬ ing steel rails into the limitless prairies. In the spring of 1881 took place the last great buffalo hunt. In 1882, 480 miles of road bed were constructed and prepared for the locomotive before the freeze-up,.at that time a feat un¬ equalled in railway construction. Battleford had been declared the capital of the N.W.T., but when it was seen that the railroad would pass far to the south of it, preparations were made to fix a new capital. Matter of the selection was left to Edgar Dewdney, the Lieutenant-governor of the Territories and after much consideration, he fixed on the location of Pile o ' Bones Creek. It is interesting to note that Sitting Bull, the famous Sioux warrior had, after his massacre of the American army en¬ camped on the banks of the Oskana Kasasteki , so named because of a pile of buffalo bones which were noticed there. The first settler in the vicinity was the late Edward Carss, who in Sept¬ ember 1881 picked a fine location at the junction of the Qu ' Appelle and Was- cana. However, the honor of being the first man on the Regina townsite went to the late Demetrius Woodward. There was a letter dated 1882 from the banks of Pile o ' Bones addressed to his wife in Ontario. It is interesting to note that some survivors of Mr. Woodward ' s family, who still live North on Albert are still in possession of the letter. Mr. Woodward died a number of years ago, but his wife, a grand old lady, lived long and passed away two years ago. Shortly before her death she said, My husband always had the TWENTY-SIX TOP —Regina in lOOo, 12th Ave. and Cornwall St., showing in the foreground the first Catholic Church in Regina. Graton School. Victoria Square; at extreme left, the newly erected St. Mary ' s Church. BOTTOM —Scarth St.. Regina, IDO. ). Visible in background, the steeple of first Catholic Church and Knox Presbyterian Church. wandering foot. He had pioneered on the West Coast of British Columbia and then when the building of the C.P.R. began, he was first in the crowd. He would build a good home and then send for me and the rest of the family. Do you know, she continued, it is difficult for me to think of him as dead. I think he has gone to some new, far country where there ' s no more travelling, and 1 think he ' s waiting for us there. In 1882 a French-Canadian named Pascal Bonneau had a sub-contract on the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway and found himself camped on the site of the new capital. At the request of Mr. Bonneau, Father Hugonard came from the Ou ' Ap- pelle Mission to celebrate Mass for him and his workmen, who were for the most part of the same nationality as their chief. This Mass was celebrated in a tent and was the first ever said on the very spot where Regina now stands. One matter here connected with Regina ' s first season of ' 82 deserves perhaps more than a passing interest. All our early settlers agree that the adequate moisture of our soil, the abundance of water in the sloughs, and the luxuriant grasses and herbage which everywhere met the eye in 1882, could only have been produced by a succession of moist seasons. The Wascana, south of the town was then a creek expansion of fair volume, which exceeded a stone ' s throw in width. Early prices in Regina may be of interest. Wood fetched $12 a load; creek water sold at 50c a barrel; bread sold for 25c a loaf; teamsters got $16 a day, or $1.50 a half hour; carpenters got $5 a day, and tinsmiths made little fortunes. Money circulated freely, and everybody rode the horse of high hopes and great expectation. Carpenters and tinsmiths did not come in for the lion ' s share of circula¬ tion capital in those pioneer days. The hotel keeper was around and pegged his tent wherever a good opening occurred for the disposal of bacon, beef, bunks and beer. At 9 o ' clock on 23 of Aug., 1882, the C.P.R. reached banks of Wascana. A large party assembled in Mr. Van Horne ' s special car with much enthusiasm. Among those present Lieut.-Gov. and Mrs. Dewdney, Hon. Judge Johnson, Mr. D. McIntyre, Vice President of Railway, Hon. A. Smith and Miss Smith, General Manager Van Horne. The christening took place that day and Regina, Queen City of the Plains came into being. The name was chosen by Princess Louise, Great- Aunt of His Majesty King George VI, who was at that time in Canada with her husband, the Marquis of Lome, then Governor-General. Princess Louise died December 1939. D. L. Scott, Q.C. was the first mayor. TWENTY-EIGHT I. Four As guaranteed in this subject (Bridge). — 2. Phyllis, high on a snowy hill. ■ 3. Fran. 4.

School is just one r round of pleasj The winter of 1882-3 passed off pleasantly, all drawbocks considered. The town was yet on odd-looking jumble, the streets were neither laid out, nor graded, a sort of diluvian confusion characterizing everything. But materials were at hand for the building of the city, the surveyor and architect had not been idle and cheerful industry merely awaited the breath of spring- tide to lay the solid foundations of a handsome prairie town. Early in ' 83 new buildings began to loom up along Broad Street; the railway traffic increased; arrangements were made for digging a public well; a citizen, Regina Mary Rowell, had been born to the town in December, 1882. Lawyers by the dozens had hung out their shingles and hotels were full, and the lands around Regina for twenty miles were taken up. The Canadian North West Land Company opened their office on Broad Street and the town boasted a school with Miss Laidlaw as teacher. Buildings went up on all sides, and the sound of the hammer was heard far and near. In the middle of April there were fifteen buildings used as stores, two banks, four large feed stables, two carriage shops and four good hotels. Early in May Mr. W. B. Scarth, able and popular managing director of N. W. Land C ompany wired Mr. Lunan to grade the streets, a work immediately begun under contractor Bonneau. Mr. Scarth also intimated his willingness to give $500 towards the building of a bridge across Wascana. In 1883, Father St. Germain said Mass for a group of Metis, and during the course of the same year efforts were made to establish a regular parish by a secular priest. Father L. N. Larche. The first visit of Archbishop Tache was in 1884, when he came to consecrate the little church that had been built on the corner of Twelfth Avenue and Cornwall Street. Bishop Grandin assisted the Archbishop who performed the ceremony in the presence of the elite of Regina. Among the first parishioners were P. Bonneau and Family, Dan Mur¬ phy, Ed. McCarthy, Miss McCarthy, Mrs. Hayes, organist, Mr. and Mrs. Forget, (the first lieut. gov. of the Province of Saskatchewan), Mr. and Mrs. Louis Bour- get, Mr. and Mrs. Waldron whose daughter was the first child baptized in the new church. In the evening a concert was held at which His Honor Lieuten¬ ant-Governor Dewdney and Mrs. Dewdney, together with the notables of the town were present. A large sum was realized which went towards the liquid¬ ation of the church debt. In 1885 Father Larche was succeeded by Father McCarthy and Father Graton arrived from Montreal in May of the following year. First annual exhibition was held on the 2nd and 3rd of Oct. 1884. Money prizes valued at $1500 and entries numbered 986. Showground for horses and cattle was Victoria Square, while the courtroom and vacant store-room in Scarth ' s Building were utilized for exhibits of grain, roots and vegetables. In 1885 an event took place which made Regina, for the time being, the centre of the world, for on May 23 of that year, Louis David Riel was taken THIRTY prisoner by Captain Young of the R.N.W.M.P. On July 26 he was tried. The little square building on the corner of Scarth and Victoria was supplied with a telegraph office and from its wires were flashed to a thousand and one points each hour ' s proceedings of the trial which ended in conviction. After several respites Riel was finally executed at the police barracks on 16th of November. He died calm, resigned, brave, passionless, and forgiving , assisted on the scaffold by Father Andre. The nascent city of Regina had also its martyr, in the person of Father Graton. On Saturday, March 7, 1891, Father Graton was returning from one of his many missions, to Regina, where his ministry was needed the following day. He pushed on through the snow until his horses gave out. When his companion returned with fresh horses, he found the priest dying. He went off again to seek aid but before he arrived Father Graton had died, a martyr to his duty. Such were the picturesque beginnings of the city which is now an edu¬ cational, religious, and military centre. With the vitality of youth, Regina has come smiling through a period of combined drought and depression, and in this year of her diamond jubilee the Queen City of the plains can really boast that she is sixty years young. —F.
