	A well known specialist of Regina is Dr. Hugh MacLean, who was
born in Glasgow, Scotland, on the 30th of January, 1878, a son of Archi-
bald and Margaret (Nairny) MacLean, who came from their native
country to Canada in 1887 and located in Ontario.  The father engaged
in gardening and raising fruits and he was a manager of a large farm
in that province. To Mr. and Mrs. MacLean five sons were born, Hugh
being the third in order of birth.  Throughout his life the father gave
his political allegiance to the Liberal party and he maintained an active
interest in local affairs.  He was a member of the Presbyterian church.
For many years he was chairman of the Liberal Association. His death
was deeply regretted by his family and many friends.  Mrs. MacLean
survives her husband and is making her home in Fort William.  She is
a consistent member of the Presbyterian church.

able postgraduate work and he is a fellow of the American College of
Surgeons.  He recently returned from a trip to South America with
associates of the college. Associated with him in the practice of his pro-
fession are Dr. Martin and Dr. Ritchie.  They enjoy an extensive and
ever-increasing practice and Dr. MacLean has won widespread recogni-
tion for his skill in the surgical branch of the profession.
	In 1907 Dr. MacLean was married to Miss Susan Weir, a native of
Ontario, who received her education in the public schools of that province
and taught there for some time. She also engaged in educational work
in Regina for a number of years. To Dr. and Mrs. MacLean three daugn-
ters have been born: Margaret, a student in the local high school; and
