celebrates 91st Birthday

(Moncton Transcript) on May 2, 1845, Paul Lea was born at Tryon, P. E. 1.. the son of Mr. and’ Mrs. John Lea. Today, May 2. 1936, Mr. lea. is celebrat- ing his ninety-first birthday at his home, Mountain Road. Mr. Lee's span of life has cov- ered many of the greatest events of modern history and he can re- call vividly many happenings of importance in the years through which he has passed. For more than fifty years the venerable gentleman has been a resident of Moncton and one of the most highly respected among them. In splendid health and possess- ing all his faculties, Mr. Lea is un- usually interesting in conversa- tion. His great age he attributes to the fact that he has always been blessed with good health. Mr. Lee went, as a young man, to Charlottetown where he learn- ed his trade as a carpenter. He remained there until he was 22 years of age. During that time he was present at the first meeting ever held in Canada to arrange for Confederation. He said that he had worked on the government build- ings in preparation for the histor- ical meeting and at the session heard such men as D'Arcy McGee and Sir John Macdonuld outline their ideals.

To California

When he left Charlottetown, Mr. Lea headed for California. which then was in the throes of its be- ginnings. Men had flocked there in search of gold and Mr. Lee con- sidered it would be a good place to ply his trade. He crossed the strait of Northumberland and took the train at Bhedlac, terminal of the first line in this country, and went on to saint John. Thence he sailed to Portland, lVie., where he took a boat. that canted him to New York. From there to Panama City he went, because at that time the only overland route was by covered wagon, and across the isthmus. on the "City of sacra- mento." he sailed up the coast to Sacramento and thus began a four year sojourn in California.

That was in 1887. the year of Canada’: confederation. It took just six weeks to complete the Journey. After he had retired, the aged gentleman went back to Call- fornln. in 1913, and the tourney occupied six days.

Remaining four years in Cali- fornia. Mr. Lee. returned to Char- lottetown. where he started a woodworking factory. .1-lo remain- ed in business there twelve years and then came to Monoton. Here he began similar operations and gradually built up a ‘ ' that became one of the lu-gutln this area. He conducted the business until 1922, when he sold out to B. W. Lookhart.

Satisfaction was expressed by M1‘. M. G. Mclleely, manage); 01 the Associated shippers, Incorpor. ated, with the countervailing duty on potatoes armounced at Ottawa by Finance Minister Dunning in his budget speech.

"Not only is this a distinct ad- vantage on the prospects of the present season's crop," said Mr. MCNGCIY. but will serve as a. per- manent protection against Canad- ian markets being flooded with American potatoes in those sea- sons when their markets rule lower than Canadian prices.

“With a. duty against American new potatoes entering Canada, it will allow almost a full month ex- tra to market the balance of the old Canadian crop, without any serious competition from the new potatoes. The situation, therefore, is extremely strong, in view of the very short stocks existing in Can-

several Europeans isolated in the streets when the trouble broke out yesterday had narrow mcapes. They were rescued by repeated dashes by British subjects from the legation

and were brought in to safety in cars and lorries.

Th:-illing tales were told by re- fugees, many of whom lost their houses and shops through pillage and fire.

Palace Looted

When the Emperor left for Djib- outi he ordered the Imperial palace thrown open to the people and that they be allowed to help i.ii8mS8lV¢.=>. Streams of men, women and child- ren wcre seen running from all di- rectlons to the palace. They re- turned laden with clothing, beds. carpets and furniture.

The ammunition dump was thrown open. Thousands of men carried off cases full of ammuni- tion, which was tried out. Shots fired into the air made it sound as if a terrific battle were in pro- gross.

Later, when much liquor was consumed, fierce wrangling c\‘:1' the loot started. swords were drawn and shots fired.

Most British subjects had taken refuge in the British Legation where a well-organized camp was set up in the legation park. Trib- utes were paid the Britons, who dashed out time and again to res- cue isolated foreigners of all na- tlonnlities.

Official quarters said after a day of indecision the Emperor, who was strongly pressed by the Emp- ress. decided at midnight Friday that the only course left open to him was to leave the country.

FIRST SETTLERS

R/OME. May 3——At least 400,000 of the 500,000 Italian soldiers and workmen in Africa will remain there as settiers, Premier Mumoiini indicated today in a speech to ru- ral peasants.

After praising the land, he do- clared: "At least 400,000 of the 500,000 men in the centre of Africa. are peasants who. while marching and fighting, do not forget the land. They boast about it, take some area, contrast it with Italy, and they foresee the possibility of carrying to those dcpopulated lands our vnlorous and fecund families of the Italian race."
