F. GAGAN PASSES. James Fletcher Gagan3 who was born July 13, 1854 in McFall, Missouri, passed away June 8 at his home and was 84 years of age. He was ambitious and frugal. At the age of 21 he went west to Utah and there married Miss Julia Keller, January 13, 1878 at Pleasant Grove, Utah. He is survived by his wife, four children: Mrs. P. A. McCormick and Mrs. C. M. Mustard of Silver Creek, Nebraska, Fred of Colome, South Dakota and Ben of Magrath, and 9 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Two daughters, Clara May and Sarah Alice pre-deased him. ' He was a very successful wool grower and farmer. In 1934 he gave a $500^00 Alberta Gov’t Bond to the High School which established the Gagan' Oratorical; he also gave $500 to the town for fire hose, $100 to each of the Ward Chapels. And he was the first to purchase stock in the Golden Fleece Woollen Mill. He was president of the Magrath Trading Company for many years. His daughter some time ago sent him these liness- "The Clock of Life is wound but once, And no man has the power To tell just where the hands will stop . . At late or early hour. Now is the only time you own, Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in tomorrow, For the clock may then be still." Funeral services were held June 12 at the First Ward Chapel with Flocks Funeral Home in charge. Many beautiful flowers banked the casket and were carried by members of the Ladies’ Aid.

P, Loggie, .Fairview. Hemstocks General Store, Fairview. I am just on my way back to Edmonton from the Peace River country and am much impressed with the country on the whole. However, they have their troubles and last year had their first, crop failure in history due to drought. i This year they haven’t any too much moisture and have a serious outbreak of cutworms in many places, the first time they have ever bothered here. Many gardens are completely ruined now and will have to be replanted. Damage to fields is rather extensive also. One day these people may wake up to the fact that they will have to get some irrigation water out of these great rivers up here. I am looking out the window now at the Athabasca which is larger than any three of our rivers combined and it is an infant compared with the Peace. When I crossed the Peace on a ferry the other day it was high alright j but it was running swiftly and was a quarter i of a mile wide and they told me that it was i thirty-five feet deep most of the way.
