Cunningham Returns and I Tells of the Wonderful Possibilities of-the Territory Across the Rooky Moon tains G. D. Cunningham, returned Midwuy last week after n<lin|{ the summer in Alberta, the Edmonton district. Dur* thosuiumer Mr.Cuniiinghum ipped several carloads of hors- intrO that country from this jiint and was successful in dis* -ing of all of them previous leaving for Midway. Mr, Cunningham is greatly |i|>russed with the possibilities Alberta as a ranching un,| uk raising country. The ijority of people, he says, who vo never been in Alberto or m other territories imagine t the country is all about the ne. This is ah erroneous mission. After leaving Hud or ubout one hundred miles wt,h of Edmonton, the couutry more or less brushy and Ightly undulating. The northern part of Alberta mostly devoted to mixed lining, oats and barley yield ormously and. all kinds of igetubles grow in profusion. beat is grown iu smaller antitieg with varied succoss. mo years it does well, but it is t to be relied upon. It is us a irying country that Northern lborto gains its grout name, •r yours tho farmers there vo been experimenting in irying but today thut branch agriculture hus passed the pcrimontol stage. It is now tried on extensively nnd ad- lilional cheese factories and turneries are constantly bo- >g built as now sections tie* and them. Home of the finest utter to be found in the world made in Northern Alberto. Hog raising is another i miliary that commends itself to tho inner, nnd ono that hus in the «st und even yet is neglected. Idthough the prices for hogs ro unreasonably high ond ure Uch .is guarantee a handsome iriilit to those who engage in 'nixing thorn, tho demand is yot W in excess of the supply. No poubtin a few ytnrs ns the armors realize the import- •ico of this branch of farm the market. Implement ugents do u flourishing business und nearly every firm of manufacturers in Canada and the United States nre represented. The new territory opened up by the influx of settlers hus creutod a greut demand for all classes of agri- culturnl implements und furnished a new market for the manufacturers, and this market will keep steadily increasing as the greut wealth of Alberta becomes better known, for as yet that country is only in its infancy, tliere still being immense tracts of fertile land nwniting the hand of the settler. The climate of northern Alberta differs from thut of the southern purt of the territory, the northern part experiences more rain and snowfall, there being sufficient ruin to cause irrigation unnecessury, which obviates n grout expense rendered necessary in thc southern part to insure a good crop. This season the excessive rainfall in the north greatly retarded harvesting, but this year was un exceptional one. Owing to thegrasd being under snow in the winter ull kinds of stock huve to be fed. Of course there are winters when little or no feeding is required and horses and even cattle come through looking sleek and fat The scarcity of timber for building, fencing nnd firewood that is sucbadrawhack throughout the more southern parts of Alberta, is not met with in thc north whero there is an abundance for all these purposes, although but little wood is used tor fuel, there "being iuexhnust- ible quantities of bituminous coal, which con be had for little cost at tho mines and even with the addition of tho charge for hauling makes it an economical form of fuel Mr. Cunningham spent the summer at Leduc a prosperous rising town on the C. & E. railway, twonty miles south of Edmonton, whore J. J. Flood, formerly engaged in tbe livery business in Midway, is conducting a similar line of business. POLICE PROCEEDINGS An American Runs Foul of the Law, and Is Fined for Assaulting a Constable. It is not often that anything of more than passing moment takes place in police circles in our usually quiet town, but last week was an exception to tho general routine. A resident of the state of Washington by tho name of Hums cuine across tho border, betook himself to a local hotel, imbibed a little freely in "Can- —»v, ui una iimiiru ui"»... ■ . .„.„•„_ „„_ P'-oy will engage moro oxton- 'vely in it.

ThiB information wus not token rtis in good purt, his dig- n°ware practically a drug onjmty wtis irrepitirul'ly injured, and when he found the policeman last week he thought he would toke a punch ut him, which thought was put into action. However he failed to Innd, and at once mot his Waterloo. The policeman in affecting an arrest bruised Bums' fnce a little and then took him over te the cheapest hotel in town known as the "Skookum House" kept by C. L. Thoinet, where board is freo and a furnished cell even on the first floor is nothing per week. However with good treutment Hums was not satisfied with his boarding place, lie said he hud no use for u temperance house, and preferred his little cabin in tho wilds of Torodo creek to his city abode, with ull its luxuries. City life did not suit him; he was not used to such attention being paid him, u sedentary occupation wus not suitable to bim, he preferred an active out door life. Reasons where given why duties at his ranch required his immediate attention, so upon a (•ash bond of $1!) being furnished to guarunteo his uppeuranco on Saturday before two duly qualified justices of the pence and state why sentence should not be pronounced upon, he wus allowed to go. The date for holding the triul would have been earlier but for the fact that it hud to lie set to suit the convenience of the magistrates. The only two people in Midway having the dignified appendix of ,J. P. te their names are ranches, whose busiuoss often calk them to the small unimportant towns of tho district and it is only when they can bo found that u case can be tried. On Saturday at eleven o'clock n crowd of inquisitive rub- l>er-necks gathered to witness nn exhibition of denling out justice, but Burns fuilcd to put iu nn appearance to answer to a the charge of being drunk nnd disorderly, so tlie provincial treasury was enriched to tiie extent of $10. In the afternoon Burns came to town nnd wus immediately re-arrested on u more serious charge, that of assaulting uu officer. The senior mugistrute concluded that the gravity of the offence domnnded the presence of two common ordinary garden justices of the peace, or one full-fledged judge. At four o'clock the prisoner was ushered into the holy presence of the chief and subordinate magistrates. The dignity of the bar was fully maintained by the chief magistrate, the severity of whose countenance indicated dourly that the prisoner was not going to be allowed to go without first "digging up." From the appearance of Bums' face no one would over have surmised that the charge was that of assaulting a constable. He looked us though a mistake had been mude in the wording of the charge and that it should havo read, for being assaulted. After asking the usual quota of questions to muko it appear us though he had not previously decided upon the penalty to be inflicted, tho chief mugistrute imposed n fino of $22.50 or thirty days in jail. As Burns hud nn assessment to do, ho could not take advantage of saving, tho money, but had to pay the fine, BOUNDARY MINING BROOKLYN AND STEM- WINDER May Resume Operations—New Spur for Athelstan Nine- Mother Lode Improvements— Locomotive for Granby. Right of way differences huv ing been adjusted work is being rushed on the railway spur into the converting works of the B. C. Copper company's plant. A mortgage for $100,000 has been registered against tho Dominion Copper Co. Ltd., the well known properties of whicli are located in Phoenix camp. They ure the Brooklyn, Stem- winder, Idnho, Rawhide, Montezuma and Standard. At a meeting of the directors of the company held some mouths ago in Toronto, where the lurgest shareholders reside, it was decided to raise $100,000 by bonds for the purpose of paying off the indebtedness of the company, n matter of some $50,000, the balance to bo used as a working fund. This mortgage to tho National Trust Co., of Toronto, is evidently to secure tho payment of these bonds. Tho stock of the Dominion Copper Co. is held lurgely by Muuu& McKeuz e, Hon. George A. Cox, and other wealthy cap- alh*;s of Toionto, tome of it is- nlso hold ln tlie IVmiuWj*. Nothing has been done on those properties, which have beeu proved to have most extensive ore bodies by thousands of feet of development work, for about two years; since James Breen relinquished the management after conducting the operations for ubout a your. A year or more ngo negotiations wero on foot for the s;vle of the properties to the British Columbia Copper Co., Ltd., owning and operating the Mother Lode mine and Greenwood smelter, but nothing came of the negotiations. Later a deal his been on between the Snow- shoe people and the Mother Lode people for an amalgamation also, but that is yet in abeyance, as far as can be learned. This year representatives of the Dominion Copper Co. have asked the C. P. R. to finish laying the steel to tho dumps of the Stemwinder aud Brooklyn for which llio fc'nde was completed four years ago. From appearances it seems thut something is likely te be done on the Brooklyn group iu the near future. Both properties are equipped with the best of machinery, much of which litis hardly beeu used. The C. P. R. has put in a seven car spur for tho use of the Athelstan mine in Wellington ramp. The new spur branches off from the Winnipeg spur. Tho Athelstan will now increase its shipments to the Boundary Falls sniolter. best of results from the smelter tests are anticipated. Owing te the large amount of switching necessary.in the ynrdsof the Granby mines due to the recent increase of ore shipments to 2000 tons daily, the mine management secured the use of a locomotive from the Kettlo Valley lines. The engine has arrived and is now in use. It was able to go up the Phoenix bill under its own steam. Most excellent progress is being made with the extensive improvements under way at the Mother Lode smelter, where a stand of two copper converters will soon be at work, handling the matte of the smelter. The C. P. R. is now grading the spur to the new. converter building which has been started. The new brick smokestack 125 feet high, and containing a quarter ofa million bricks, has been completed. The two furnaces aro running steadily, und the company's mine is shipping between 600 and 700 tons daily. W. Carter, who recently took a lease and bond ou tho Bunk of England, near the Snowshoe, for $10,000, und has been working the property, is understood to have mude nn nrrungemout for making test treatments of the ore at the Greenwood smelter and will shortly send out the first shipment Assays havo given a high average for the Bunk of England ore, and the Manugor Pomberton of the Boundary Fulls smelter is now on his wny buck from Montreal, and will run the two furnaces! of the smelter at full capacity till spring, when n third furniice now on the ground, will be put in operation. ~.mu__m m History of Northwest Mounted Police. In 1874 tho Blackfoot nation had camped upon the Cypress Hills, and from that eyrie their wurriors kept watch upon the Canadian plains. Fur to the east thoy saw the smoke of cumpfii-es ut dusk, and by day the herds of buffalo disturbed, while scouts rode iu reporting a now tribe of the Long Knives, the. American cavalry, on the wur trail, rnpidly advancing. The Blackfeet sent their women to the rear, painted for wur, performed tiie solemnities of the wur dunce, appealing to the Almighty for uid iu buttle, then set thoir ambush ready, while they watched the enemy—vedettes, advance guard transport, reur guard—winding like n little snake over the golden grass. Could these be the Long Knives ? The strangers hud no "long out." Then it wus seen that they were redcoats—so thoy belonged to the Hudson Buy tribe. Thut scarlet cont, worn by a Hudson's Hay Company's officer when ho sut in judgment wus known te ull the red Indians as the symbol of stainless honor and fearless justice. Bocuuse of the sign of the scarlet jcoat the Blackfoot nation came out of umbush und gave^a brotherly welcome to the Northwest Mounted Police. The Hudson's Hay Company hud ceded ull Rupertslund, two million square miles or so, to the Canadian Dominion. The Government hardly knew how to enter upon and occupy so gigantic an empire, but acted under the advice of a retired chiof commissioner of the company. This was Donald Smith, now Lord Strathcona, and ut his suggestion three hundred young Cunndians were enlisted nnd drilled to form n body of cavalry, the Northwest Mount ed Police. In 1874 they marched across the plains, met tho Blackfoot nation, and formed that singular alliance whicli en- *. abled thorn to seize the Territories without the shedding of blood. The liquor traders had boen umong the Blackfeet, so that they were sorely reduced by pestilence and hunger; but at once the sale of ulchohol wus made penal, so that the Indians ure now increusing yeurly in numbers and in wealth. A truce wasnrranged between the Blackfeet nnd their ancient enemies the Crees, which put an end to inter-tribal war, These red Indians of the plains, supposed to be the most formidable warriors on earth,und numbering 23,600 were subdued by 300 men, and in solemn treaties mode allies of the Empire. A little to the southward lived the Sioux nation, ruled by the statesman Sitting Bull and the soldier Spotted Tail, with 3000warriors. In 1870, having wiped out General Custer's form: of American cavalry, thoy found that they were suffering from too much United States army; and retired hastily to the Can adian plains. Here they discov ered a little fort, sat down iu frontof it, and said : "ilau.i 0113 your food." "Come and take it;" said the little fort, throwing its gates open, So the Sioux swarmed into the fort, where they saw ;. couple of officers armed wiil: switches, who stood -:'..''■. • ;• blandly by tiie guard..

"Well' said. :■.:•■ big chief, "it's no use killing men who are not afraid to die Now, as soon us the Blue .;■ v heard that the Sioux were : Wood Mountain Post, they ••.. down for u fight, but wen I by Major Walsh to camp ;... . behave themselves. The htiio stockude wns now surrounded by 6000 savages, all howling for blood, und resolved either to fight each other or to join hands and wipe out tho police. To begin with, the Blackfeet stole thirty ponies from the Sioux, and Sitting Bull, their chief, brought his compiaint to Walsh "wait" said the Mnjor, then told off six mon to bring the ponies out of the Blackfoot herd. In those days the Canadian lads thought no more of red Indians than they did of black beetles so the six riders romped down into the Blackfeet herd ; not knowing one pony from another, they took good measure, rounded up 180 horses, und gaily drove them past the Blackfoot cump, which seethed out in furious pursuit. Then the six policemen, having robbed und defied the 3000 wurriors, stain poded thc horses straight for tho stockude and rolled in just in time. Inside the fort tho six troopers were paraded up to see Major Wulsh, nnd thoy blushed and simpered because they were going to bo praised. "Dont you know" said Walsh, ''that you've declared wur against tho Blackfoot nation? I've a mind to give j'ou each three mouth's impisoninent!" Within an hour the Blackfeet surrendered the thirty Sioux horses to get buck the 180 which the police had stolen. Such were tho beginnings of this mighty regiment. ^mBgmmmm __________________ I.

They talked as though they would be pleased to have all the Chinese in Canada become residents of tlie east. For years the good people of Toronto sent deputation after deputation to Ottawa to protest against any increase of tliehoa-'l tax on Chinese coining into the Dominion.

The presence of these industries is said to depriciate tho value of the properties adjacent to thos laundries." Toronto is not tho only city to feel the evil effects of an overdose of Chinese, Montreal, as ivell, is loud in the de- nounciation of their presence iii large numbers. On this particular question, we, in tho west, are an older getibraUoli, as it were, and are iii a position to enlighten our eastern friends as to what to expect, iii this matter and all we hjxve to say is .that for four weeks yet the door will, remain open for celestials; they uie now coming over in droves and nearly all of them are buying tickets for eastern Canada, so tho people of the east will 8 .ion""savy" what British Columbia has had to contend with for years."

Aa Knglish recruiting sergeant would wan him with longing eyes. Heeing him In a crowd you might piek him out for a champion athlete or, by hia smooth face, for a matinee idol. There't nothing about him ta suggest tbe { poet—nave his poetry. Neither doe* ho seen; to have tbe poetic temperament. He is no dreamer, no idler. Bis mental pain seems to be aa sound and as well balanced aa hii physical carriage, which ll saying a , good deal. Canada ia rather proud of having produced sueh a pout, and with good Cause. London, Ontario, is his birth* place. Ills years art about thirty. Ite comet from a line old Bnglisb family in which there's an earldom or something of the sort, but Iir. Stringor carefully keeps this fact la the background. lie etunds on hit own feet. You may see by glancing at him that hs needs no coat-of- •rms background to proclaim his nobility. He studied and played football af Toronto Unlveisity and at Oxford. If they gavo him any deuraos he hat forgotten it. Before he was twenty- five he had published two volumes of verse In Canada. They wore slim little volumes which brought him email fume and less money. Yet it was poetry, good poetry. Tho Canadians, however, prefer to wait until "The Slates" discover thoir geniuses before showing their own appreciation. Mo Ur. Stringer sailed down Into New York, prepared to starve In a hall bedroom. Hut ho didn't. The New York magazine editors— whs are much maligned, you know- promptly discovered that his pootry was gond and paid him well for hit versot. Since then, both by short stories and verse, he has been winning wide recognition and tho rewards which accompany tbo same. Just now, while his new book of poems Is being praised by tho ton- don critics, while the publishers aro Issuing his lirst novel, "The Sllvor Poppy." Mr. Stringer is up in Ontario, on thc shores of Lako Erie, looking nfter his fruit farm, working in blue shirt and overulls and onloy- Ing himself hugely. Next fall, when his melons and poors nnd grapes have nil been gathered nnd sold, he will pack his trunks and typewriting machine and start cither for New York or London, where ho will settlo down Ior a winter's hard work. Mr. Stringer's novol Is llkelv to ro* celvo an extraordinary amount of attention In the newspapers on account of the Identity of tho woll- known writer who liguros in tho book as Cordelia Vaughn. Mr. Strlniror lirst met the Indv In the manner described in tho book, and his experiences of this "yellow vampire" art faithfully described. Bvorv wrltor In New York -yjjl JStow the original of Mr. Sirlngnr'js he/olnn. and few .will dispute the truth of bis portrayal.
