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,

For this unfriendly
officer  informed
him that he would Wto "behave himself when »n Midway.
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

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!

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:

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.

however, the east has become

The presence of these industries
is said to depriciate tho value of

advanuing rapidly.   Horeto-
Ii'fi the oro has ■ been hauled

ny is completed, about a week
once, tho cost of bringing the
I'ctofie railway or smelters
ill be materially, reduced.
A radical change from  old
Eiotho'ds and prices was anuoiin-
Q*l by the Toronto News this
feck. The eyes of the nows-
f'tper world have been up"",l11;
!.ows for the past few months'

U(,vcis to place tho News at
' ]ii'ice of Wm. ii year by
inuiii   oiily a dwop founded bo-
ief in the future success of tho
News could lead the. publishers
to make such a reduction' in
price. But joist as the dollar
magazine has taken hold 6.
the people, so, we venture to
predict, the News will secure a
vast and ever-increasing circulation, based not oiily on the
popular price at wliieh it is sold i
but mainly upon the intri ic
merits of the paper itself. We
havo made arrangements which
enable us to club the News with
our own paper at $2.80 a year
iu advance. Suoh a combination presents many unique
features, — our weekly giving
you all the home and district I
news, and tho big twelvo-page
daily keeping you in touch with
events all over the world. Send
us your subscription to the
News, or if you would like to!
see the paper first, write us and
we will secure a sample copy,
A Generous Gift,
Never before has any newspaper in the world offered so
much for so little money as the
Family Herald and Weekly
Star of Montreal this Season.,
Their two ■ pictures--"Hearts
Broken" and ''Hard to Choose''
--are most delightful subjects,!
and their map of Canada with
special map of tliis province, is:
alone worth the money asked
for a year's subscription" with
the two pictures aad maps
thrown in. Their generous offer is meeting with deserved
success; few homes iu 'Canada
will Iw without Tho Family
Herald and Weekly Star when
such value is offered for one
dollar.

A poet of almost heroic build ia
Arthur Stringor. There are six feet
and an inch of hint. Also ho Is mors
or lees good to took at. 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.
It Is more than llkelv thnt Cordelia
Vaughn's real name will soon bo sug
gested In
er.
