C. Young, and associated with him is W. B. (Smith, late of Wallu Walla College!. College Place, Wash. These gentlemen ate Seventh Day Adventists, and it will he interesting to our readers to noliee something of the history of this peculiar people. Their institutions are dotting the fllohe's sulfate and fast pushing to the front. From a handful of people who liegnn to observe the seventh dny Sab- hath iihout 1SKJ-7, we now see n people with some of the largest, publishing houses of the world printing their literature in iilinost nil the leading anil ninny of the minor languages of the world, telling the nations of a soon returning Lord, yet in no no ease setting the time—lo which ns a people they are directly opposed, for none "know the dny nor the hour." One of the most pioniinent peculiarities is thai, of healthful modes of living, and from a two and a Imlf story cottage established nver thirty years ago in Bailie Creek, Michigan, now stands the world famous Battle Oreek Sanitarium, employing over Slid pcople,aii(l with its various interests covering niimy acres of gt'.uinil : nor has its growth hi-eii confined to Hat1 le Creek, lait brunches are established in Kng land, South Africa, Honolulu, Mexico, California, Nebraska, Massachusetts, Denmark, Iceland, and nearest tu olir own doors is tbe Mount View Sanitarium, SpoknuC, Wash. Starting only a couple of years ago. fiom its ever increasing patronage it, was soon found necessary to huild a cottage annex, then to tent a couple of Hats in the neighborhood and still increase its facilities by the addition of a down town treatment, room for the benelit of residents and business men, and now has under construction a large addition to the original biiilding.where visitors will gladly be shown through iis various departments by those in charge. The medical stalf are all graduates of Ihe old school of medicine, and add eil lo this is a thorough course mi Hy- ilro'lierapby, which is the method iu practice, coupled with Rational Medicine, in all these Institutions. Perhaps the phenomenal growth of this work is attriliutable to the ear nest devotion of this people who seem to retlly believe that the second coming of Ihe Lntd is near, "even al the door," So Ihey take up lhe millions duties of nursing or tbe cares of a physicians' life for a stipend lhat al once proves that their obji-ct is not one of a selfish ehiiract or nor mercenary in any way, for ninny are receiving no iciiiiin- cralinn whatever for tin ir services, and all wbo enter the classes of train- i iug. whether in Bible or medical missions, must Hist pledge Iheniselves to use the knowledge thus gained in mis. siouary effort of this class. There are nt the present, liuieahnul.one thousand young men and women in preparation. Another branch of this woik, yet inseparably linked with it, is the preparation of health foods. Many factories ore already crowded to Iheir utmost limit in Ilie endeavor to meet the are easily digested and will satisfy the cravings of a race of dyspeptics that cannot any longer Iintl Ihe enjoyment iu nature's blessings they used to. The slum work in large cities is asps* einlly worthy of notice, where young women and men visit the dens of vice, and many interesting incidents might be related where the simple little cross worn to show the occupation or calling of the wearer has been tlte means under Providence of protecting their persons from cruel wrong. In most, of the large cities nre established what, is called Helping Hand Missions, where the sick, the degraded and helpless, if at all desiring to lietter their condition; receive a helping hand to do so. At these places the food prepared for them at the rate of one cent per dish, and Ihe small amount nf tire and six cents will supply tbe wants of a real hearty son of toil. Those who lack the amount necessary, if tbey apply tn tbe manager, will find an opportunity to earn the amount, or al least need not go away hungry. Perhaps lhat. which bas tbe most snlulory effect upon tha poor tired wanderers is the restful home reminding, lhat comes from a real good night's rest in a pertectly clean bed nfter enjoying a hot Imth before rel icing. These things remind them of home and mother's cars in childhood, and are calculated to stir up the belter parts ot their nature. One of the missions is situated at hi Main avenue, Spokane, Wash,, and any person visiting lhat city would enjoy the experience of a meal, and will not feel at all uneasy ns to the cleanliness of the food as they glance into the kitchen or at the attendants. The great hope of soon seeing their .Saviour return has the effect of mould ing the actions and even the conversation of this people, and certainly is salutary if truly believed. Bliler Young and compuny are now holding a series of meetings, devoting their attention more especially to the growing tendency towards skepticism. showing from prophecy and its fulfill ment the inspiration of Holy Writ, Terry's Hall each evening receives a fair representation of Midwav's population to hear Elders Young und Smith. whose sermons show great preparation and a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures, and prove very Instructive. It is very pleasing to note that these people have selected Midway as a field for their operations, and it. is to he hoped lhat later on Midway will he chosen as a suitable place for the establishment of a sanitarium. ote occurs in large quantities In the adjacent so-called diorite. Fill ure development work, as planned, will consist mainly of driving iwo tunnels parallel lo the lime contact, with cross-cuts nt such intervals ns may he necessary to reach the ore shoots that have been opened on Ihe sui face, antl to define the limits of the contact, on hoih sides of lhe lime bell, which is not more than 3KI feet wide. The lower tunnel will be started at. it point about 100 feet from the north west corner of the Ruby, The upper tunnel, whicli is already in aliout 70 feet, starts about. 100 feet, higher up, measuring along the slope of the hill. There will he a vertical depth of aliout. 100 feel between these tunnels. Machine drills have been provided and the work will he pushed as fast as possihle. Mr. Wayne Choule, M. E„ of Detroit, has during the past eighl or ten days made a very exhaustive examination of the properly so fat as he has been ahle to do under the circumstances, His advice that a vigorous policy of development he pursued is being acted upon, so that the winter's work should prove whether ur not tho Ruby will give reasonable promise of developing inin a profitable mine. There is one particularly encouraging feature in connection with ihe property, viz., in that the higher grade ore so tar met with is about tha richest gold-copper ore yet found in quantity in the Boundary district.

The results of tbe prospecting wnrk thut has been in progress on tlie Ruby mineral claim, near Boundary Falls, during lbe last twn months have fully realized the expectations of P. \V. Bayes, of Detroit, Michigan, nnd his associates, who in August bonded this claim and the adjoining Ruby Fraction, 05, Horseshoe and Nylvanite. I'ralically all this wink has been done on the surface, chiefly with tbe object of determining the strike and extent of the ore boilies. Tho location of Ihe lime contact and its strike, and the undue nf thc rocks (limes and adjacent eruplives) in contact, have heen fairly well defined by Ihis work. Sulllcieiil information has now been obtained to admit of the formulation of a plan of thorough prospecting, which is now being entered upon, the intention lieing In carry it. on through the winter months. No special effort has been made lo take out ore dining this prospecting work, but, ahout 'Ml Ions of shipping ore have been taken froni th surface workings. TJiis ore runs front 5 to 22 per cent, copper, tho richest, of BOUNDARY ORE SHIPMENTS.

It is Believed Hon. W. C. Wells' Visit to Montreal Is to Confer With Sir Thomas Shaughnessy. A press despatch froni Victoria of lasl Monday's dale, states thai special interest has been aroused over the visit of Hon. W. C Wells, Chief Co ils- siouer of Lands and Works, to Montreal, It states that Mr. Wells left the previous Friday for Montreal, and in well informed quarters it is hinted thai bis object is !0 confer with Sir Thomas Hhiutnessy in regaiil loa laikvay policy for Hritish Columbia, Premier Dunsmuir hesitates to commit the Government to the construction of the Coast Kootenay railway, and still favors dealing exclusively with the Canadian Pacific llailway Co. There has lieen a good deal of fi id ion ill the Cabinet over the matter, resulting almost in open rebellion un (lie part of the new Minister of Finance, Hon. ,1, I). Prentice, Mr. Prentice must not he considered to he an advocate of Government construction of the Coast-Kooienay railway for, as a matter of fact ,'he is very decidedly opposed to any policy that would run contrary to wishes of this ot any other corporation. Hut Mr. Prentice hnd a little Scheme of his own in view, whieh Mr. Wells'visil to Montreal may dissipate entirely, and will, at least postpone indefinitely, Mr. Preniice .valued lo go to Kngland as Minister of Pill nice anil final that 85,000,000 loan. ' Undid not quite know what would be done with the money, but he wanted the honor of putting through the loan, and was quite confident Unit his presence in London financial circles would facilitate the business. However, Mr. Wells has all along contended that he could fix up an arrangement with the C. P. R, for the construction of the Coast-Kootenay railway, upon terms which he claims would be satisfactory to the province, and presumably he has secured the support of the Premier in his venture. Kor Ihe time lieing, therefore, it looks ns if Mr. Preniice will have to defer his visit to London, Whilst no hint of his plans could he obtained from Mr. Wells before leaving, the supposition is that he will n|H peal to Sir Thomas Shuugltucssy ti> frame a' railway policy for the Government that will serve the double purpose of beguiling the people into the belief that something practical is heing done lo provide much needed trans, portation facililies, nnd, at the same time, secure to the C. P. I{. thereat control of the situation. In return lot' Ibis MllSidorftllon it is expected that, the 0. P.

Advertising ltntessent on application, MONDAY. NOVKMIIKII -I. 11X11. The fact Ihnt Canada won $5,041 in prizes for cattle al the Pan-American and lhe United .Stales only $6,801), ought to lie one of the hest advertise* inents this country lias bail for a lung while. Given fair play and a fair Held, Canada is in the habit of downing most competitors, This is a country pf superlatives. The average cost uf producing a pound of cupper, says a writer in Iron and Steel, does not greatly exceed 8 cents, and at Ihe prices which have prevailed for many months past, some of the iipeitiling coiiipiinies have made it clear profit of from I) lo 11 cents on every pound produced, If ihe copper taken from lhe ground in America during an average yeai is estimated to ' In- $100,000,000 it is safe lo credit $50,- (KKMXIi) as net profit. How rapid has been the growth of the industry is attested by the fact that a year's profits under present conditions, more than equal the tolal value of the American product for a corresponding interval half ,i decade ago. The great improvement in prices and market quotations of late years may he greatly attributed lo the growing foreign demand. Europe consumes an enormous quantity of cupper, and fnr a heavy production of it she must depend upon the United .States. In huilding an entirely new bridge over the Kettle rivcr between here and Hock Creek the provincial government is innking a great waste of public money. The old piers are, with Ihe exception of a few top timbers, as capable of supporting the weight of the bridge today as when they were lirst Iniilt. In fact, it is very doubtful if the majority of the timbers in the old bridge are not equally as strung as new. Of course, there were parts of tlie old structure that required replacing, hut these parts were not scattered through the whole bridge, bul were all together where Ihey could easily bave been replaced by new ones. Evidently the government engineer who inspected the bridge last full thought this when he ordered certain inipioveinelils to he made, the cost of which would have gone a long way towards the amount lhat is now required lo make the bridge as good a new. But the government in I his In stance is following its old policy of doing those things il ought nol to and leaving undone those that are necessary, ll. has let the contract for a new bridge. Piles are to he driven at. a great expense lu replace the piers which are now equally as good and serving the same purpose thus wasting a considerable amount of money as well ns putting the travelling puhlic lo great inconvenience by compelling them to ford the river for a much longer period than they otherwise would have to do. If the building of Ibis bridge and the West Kork wagon rond are fair examples of the government's methods uf spending money on public works in the past, and an indication of what il intends to du in the future, tliere is little wonder thai such general dissatisfaction is expressed at having such a useless, incompetent government in power. One of the papers read was hy .], K. Anderson, Deputy Minister of Agricul lure, in which he says Hritish Cnliiui- hia possesses within its limits larger unbroken areas of primeval forest than any other country in the wot Id, and i.s destined in the near future to lie the. principal source of supply of timber and wood pulp. Hence the question arises how best lo conserve the forest wealth to Iheliestttdvalitttgf and for lhe greatest good, Then follows a scientific and practical descrip lion of the various useful trees which grow in lhe province and their extent and uses. The Douglas fir, sometimes called the red fir and Oregon pine, is given as lhe limber possessing the greatest, economic value in tlie pn). vince, and of whicli Ihere is the great est quantity, its range extends over almost the entire province, It. accom tninbites itself to all altitudes, front sen level Io 0,000 feet, At great alii tudes, however, it only grows iu stunt- ed form, The red cedar is given second place mining Ihe varieties of valna hie trees nf I he province, while wesl ern spruce, which is chiefly cnntlned lo lhe coast, where it at tains an enormous size, is said to be nearly equal in vol* Then follow iu order of theii usefulness tbe yellow ced.ir, or yellow ry press as it is commonly called, the hemlock, western while fir, or lulsinu fir the western while pine, western yellow pine or bull pine, scrub pine, black pine, western larch or western tamarnc, broad leaved maple, alder, poplar or coltonwood, western oak. canoe birch, arbatus or mandron, dog wood, buckthorn and crab, A full account, of ils use and cliaractets are given each variety. Air. Anderson states lhat those ineiiiliers of the Can iidinn Forestry Association whn have not yet visiled the west "have yel to see a forest, in all its mngniflence. Ko other words seem to me to convey h proper idea of a virgin forest of the west. Picture to yourselves thousands oftiees, Douglas firs predominating, of prodigious size, so close together lhat it is difficult, and often linpiissilie, for an annual to go lietween, limbless. except lhe tops, through which the rays of the sun scarcely pentrate, the ground carpeted with mosses and ferns, and Ihe hush of nature all arnitnd yuu, and perhaps you can form some idea of the forest iu British Colunihia," We are in receipt of the report of Ihe second annual meeting of the Canadian Forestry Association held in Ottawa on March 27th last. The report is in the shape of a finely illustrated booklet of (11 pages, most of the. illustrations being scenes frntn British Columbia forests, and given fair idea of the immense timber resources of the province. The report contains much valuable information about foiestry. A great howl of indignation has lieen raised in England over lhat glaring piece of Indiscretion, the speech oi General Huller to his slaff officers. It is a pity that no one so far has seen, or If they have seen have not spokvii nf, the one part of the General's position tlmt, instejul of meriting abuse,i> wur thy of all tlie complimentary remarks and encoiiiiiitis that can be given to it, that is the breaking of an old red tape rule that bars any officer on Ihe active list from saying anything having reference lo a war goingnn or to any part t hat lhe said officer has taken in any war past or present. Just how But let's enemies ate of all classes from t he war office downwards, and everywhere we read of condemnation given to a inali who, if nnt a brilliant soldier, nl li ust deserves credit for doing lhe very best be can. Instead of this condom nation lieing so generel we certainly could look for some support from those wbo, being cognizant, of the message of surrender, yet made him head of an army corps, but, who now are thc most bitter of bis detractors. The true reason of the War Office enmity is nol liecause of Ihe message—they knew of it all the time—hut hecause he, lhe General, has dared to make it public, thus breaking in »n an antique cils lorn that rules the different parts of the kingdom. We think we should pity Duller more than blame bim. He was pretty much like a round peg in n square hole, he could not fill his posi- It is only a question ofa short time until that portion of the Coast-Kootenay Railway from Curlew to Midway will be constructed. This line would be now being built, but for the scarcity of laborers. When this road is built, most of the spur lines to the different mining camps will start from here, making this the railway centre of this district With the advent of more railways into Midway the prices of real estate will advance, and the choice lots purchased and taken off the market. Show your good judgment by buying now. Midway property will make you rich. It is not a speculation, it is an investment. For prices and terms apply to THE MIDWAY COMPANY, Ltd.

J, A, Roddick, Assistant dairy rom missinner, is hack in Ottawa from British Columbia, where he instituted a traveling dairy school, under tlie direction of J, E. Hopkins and 0. W. MacDotigall, two competent instructors from the Northwest Territories. Mr. Hudiliuk visited a number of agricultural exhibitions during his stay in British Columbia, and noticed several Hue displays of vegetables, butter und fruit. The quality of the butter was excellent. British Columbia is making considerable progress in dairying, said Mr. Ruddick to an Ottawa reporter, although that progress is somewhat slow, the reason for this is that il is difficult to bring the land under cultivation, owing to the heavy timber. There are six creameries in nperatii.il in lhe province, all doing a successful lui-iini'ss. The total output would probably be ahoul. half a million pounds. The product wns sold to mer chants for thii ty cents a pound, and by tbe latter retailed at 35 cents. Mr. Itiuldick liefore reluming visited all Ihe government creameries in the Northwest Territories, Their lotal output last year was over 600,001) pounds, hul this season the total quantity of butler produced will lie much larger. Most of the hul.'rr was dis posed of nt good prices in British Columbia. The greater numher of the Northwest creameries arc now free from debt, having repaid the loan which they received from the government. Some have paid off as much us $II.IKHI since they hegan operations four years ago, ScttliiiMnt is taking place very rapidly in the territories, many of the newcomers having crossed the line from the United States. There are also a great nnmbei of foreigners, many of whom ai e doing well, r*a ■ Canada's Trade. A comparison of the exports of Canada during the period from 1806 to 11101, huth yean inclusive, forms instructive reading, and denotes with what rapidity in recent years ihe commerce of Canada has grown.

During tliis period the exports of produce of tlie mine increased by nearly m,im,m), to which lhc gold output from the Yukon contributed in a very large degree. In 1806 onr total exports of manufactures amounted lo ,$8,7117,• !S4, hut last year they had grown to $l7,84f.,3»5, a gain of over $0,000,000.
