Tlmt one individual win no longer tnko possession of Midway nnd temporarily run it to suit Iiis own ideas, was shown one day last week, when a husky employee of tlie Boundary Falls Smelter, suffering slightly from inclination, drove down to Midway and immediately sot. ahout, displaying his pugilistic abilities upon inoffensive citizens, The visitor made assaults upon two people, and to demonstrate the fact that he was a had man, drew a knife; not the kind that would impress one as being very destructive, no matter how viciously handled, hut more of the order of the kind that is usually swaped "uusight and unseen, whole blade or no trade." Nevertheless it was a knife and judges, as a rule, are evidently not authorities 011 knives. They regard anyoldthingwitha blade and handle a knife, and cinch a man just as badly fordrnwinga cheap weapon as though it hada pearl handle, live blades and cost several dollars. About tho time tho Knight of the smelter was getting in his fancy work on his second victim, Provincial Constable, V. L. Thomet, appeared on the scene, simultaneously with whicli the visitor ceased to be the hero of the hour. He found that constable Thomet was just a little harder pro- p<T-'itiim than he had expected to run up against and so he left for Boundary Falls a sader bul a wiser man. The following day the visitor was made the recipient of a piece of blue paper, which contained an invitation to visit Stipendiary Magistrate, McMynn, and toll him how it all happened. This ho did on Monday, and the Magistrate paid his respects by imposing a fine, which will doubtless teach the smelter man to be good in future. This is the first duty Mr. Thomet has heen called upon to perform since acting as constable here, and the manner in which he fulfilled it, is a sufficient guarantee of his ability to keep law and order, lie is the right man in tho right place Whilst he is fearless and impartial in carrying out the work assigned to him and will maintain rigid order, he is not over-officious, a fault so prevalent among provincial policemen, Heretofore there has boen too much liberty taken in the town by numbers of people, in the abseuse of a resident constable. but it is safe to predict tlmt from now on law and order w.ll be maintained. nothing of the new business, and went broke. Then Donald and Davie got hold of the line, and, securing charters every where, went into the business, on paper, in the most extensive way. They had surveys and proposed lines everywhere. Hates were cut, and an active war lietween them and the Vernon and Nelson took place all through the Kootenays and Boundary country. Every town had two systems, and merchants1 had to subscribe to both, A charter in the name of the Wesl ern Telephone and Telegrapl Company was obtained to run a line from Kootenay to the coast, and then things stopped. The Royal Bank of Canada hat1 made advances aggregating some $80,000, and they si ui i down on the builders. Thai ended it, and Donald and Davit sold out to the Vernon and Nel son Company for the inure cos! of the material that was in their system, and went out of business. Now it appears Mr J. B. Donald is at it again.

There is an interesting parallel to bo drawn between the statements ul' lbe business agencies in whicli tbey say that the year 1002 was the greatest Business year the country has ever known, and the statements f the advertising agencies i.liat tt greater amount 06 money was spent iii advertising during 1902 than during any previous 12 months iu tlte History Ot advertising. Advertising is the most powerful force that, can bo employed in the acquisition of trade it, is the battering rain that ;>ushes tlvough the solid wall of competition and launches ;oods in the place once occupied by tho old competition, whoso mistaken notion that "long years ol' bua;ne3s" and the '"reputation of the firm wero a suf- j'ioieut safeguard against the onslaught fo • newer but more progressive enterprise*. Judicious advertising hay, forced unknown goods into tho lands of unwilling dealers and created a demand with the consumer that no trade combination, price cutting or anything dso could impair. A business iniilt upon this basis is strong, 'lighly satisfactory and independent. Old advertisers who have tast- .1 the full strength of publicity md known its value appreciate iiest the possibilities of advertising and comprehend the im - .nensoaiid unlimited scope of the field of operation. Advertising is an absolutely in.lispens ibleliecessity in thous- .inds of businesses, many of which could not even exist witli Out it. IV is a mighty power and properly wielded, yields greater and more satisfactory returns than any other one thing. There is no business, so small or so large, so noor or so I 'A ... ■ 1 If you are going to keep iGROCERlESi that N@« Year's reso- AT cicll that cannot in some form employ advertising with profit. —Exchange, Montreal, February, 7, Mr. Hays says it has not been decided yet what amount of I per cent guaranteed (I.

The telegraphic news that Mr. .1. B. Donald is about to build a series of telephoue lines through out the Northwest, and Alberta, in opposition, apparently, tothe Boll Telephone Company of Canada, recalls the time Mr. Donald, with his partner, Mr. William Davie, figured in the big telephone company light in the Kootenays. Two men who had made a couple of thousand dollars in the Hall mines went into the telephone business in the interior, and wore building a line called the Spokane and British Columbia, to meet, the Vernon and Nelson Company's wire at the boundary, The minors knew 99 out of 100 Pairs of hands will roughen and chap during the next tew months, if they are not taken care of.

As most of them could nit swim, they took to the trees and became monkeys. The origin of the monkey is now settled. Up-to-date journalism has radiated to tbo very heart of Missouri, and Tiie Press of Salisbury thus warns ofT till leisurely correspondents: "Send in your items of news when they are fresh.

Thus the Victoria Colonist speaks of the electors' mandate and the basis upon which Colonel Prior was elected. When did our present premier come before the province for an endorsement of bis policy? Unless we ansiime that Victoria is the whole province, which assumption people beyond the borders of the Island City, no longer make, though, of course, it is still law and gospel in Conservative circles of the most Conservative-city of Canada. The truth of the matter is thut Colonel Prior succeeded former premier Dunsmuir, audit is altogether likely that his present policy is in recognition of the basis upon wliieh he succeeded to the premiership. A large part of his address to the electors of West Yale is de voted to his advocacy of grant. I ing land subsidies to railroads which he previously stated should have their termini at Victoria and Vancouver; and yet Colonel Prior knows perfectly well that the majority of tho people of the province are opposed to this policy. There was a redistribution Act passed at the last session of the house, which means, if it means anything, that there is not a fair representation of tbe people in the present legislature. The last clause of that Act is to the effect that it shall come into force when the present legislature is dissolved. Why does the premier not ask fora dissolution of the legislature? Because he feels in his bones that the mandate of the people would hurl bim from the premiership. known their grievances, and the public arc in the dark as to why the strike is declared.
