Such an Island il i.s thai rises oul of the broad expansive sea of level, unbroken, green prairies Ihal form the south-east section of the country, called—ai the lime of this ntrfative— ■•The North West. Territories" of Canada, now Saskatchewan. The ".Moose Mountains"—a common name applied to one of nature's favored beauty spots—consist of an irregular cluster of undulating hills of glacial drift, which comprise an area oE about six hundred square miles ot territory. Rising lo a height ol! from four to six hundred feet Ihey form a consplcous elevation that is visible for many miles along the lower lying surrounding level prairies. Within their beautiful weli-wooded valley, and between their numerous equally well- wooded hills, lie scores of fresh water lakes, many of which an- teeming with fish of various kinds. These, also, are tlie liaunls of myriads of wild water fowl, and oilier birds of many species, that makes them their habitat liming llie breeding sensor* of lhe year. Within these scenes was enacted the drama of human interest that is related in lhe following narrative. Ii was coming lo the close of a hot bright day toward tlie latter end of .tune, jn the summer of 1885, when a solitary rider, well mounted on a roan broncho, drew rein and halted his fagged steed on the peak of one of (lie highest hills that form the south-west projection of the mountains. From bis elevation the rider commanded a wide view of the apparently boundless prairies, which seemed to lose themselves in a smokey haze as they; S1>ohj^ DISTEMPER COMPOUND A safe, dependable and effective remedy for Coughs, Colds, Difilom- Ipcr, Influenza, iTeuvea nnd Worms l;iitn>!iK horsos and unites.

The field glasses that he (rained on the seemingly limitless plain, revealed no break nor object ihal would indicate human habitation. With a puzzled look lie turned his glasses eastward along the range of hills. After a close inspection of tlie skyline, he detected against the deeper blue of the eastern sky a faint tissue film of smoke Unit seemed to be,Issuing from, or beyond, a fringe of trees visible along the edge of a transverse range of hills some distance away. With a relieved expression depicted on his countenance he tinned his horse in Lhe direction indicated by this column of smoke ami proceeded on his journey. While the place from winch this smoke issued might nol prove to be ilic location of Ihe Indian Agency, which was his objective as Lhe end of his first day's trip, he inferred that it indicated the vicinity of some human habitation where he might receive accommodation for the night, or get some information as would direct him to the agency. it was Ids purpose, when he left Fort Qu'Appelle that morning to rest his horse for a day al tlie Indian Agency, and there, also, secure additional supplies to hist him for lhe balance of his journey to North Dakota, for which country he was heading, and where he had intended to join some of ids people who had made Ihelr homes there. As he approached the bluff, he followed a dim trail that led for some distance along its edge, which finally brought him through an opening in the trees. As he emerged on lhe other,side oE lhe bluff, his horse came to a sudden stop, when lie almost collided with another horse and rider cantering towards him. Quickly recovering himself from tho surprise of ibis sudden meeting, 4»' checked up his horse and faced ihe new arrival witli alert composure. That the surprise was mutual was evident from the altitude of the new arrival, who sat firmly in his saddle, bridle rein in the left hand, while the right tightly gripped a Colt's revolver. Still having il slung in the holster suspended from a belt around the waist, the stranger, without speaking, intently watched tlie movements of the traveller. lie, in turn, appraised the youthful rider in front of him, who, sitting astride a spirited mount held well in hand, was, as he surmised, a youth oC about eighteen years of age. He was dressed in riding boots and breeches, above which he wore an Indian tanned buckskin jacket, frilled and beaded as such garments usually are. On his head a gray slouch hat, pulled well over the face, fairly well concealed Ihe upper part of a youthful and pleasing countenance. The strained science that followed ihis sudden meeting, during which both riders mutually 'regarded each other, was, after a few * moments, broken by a sweet feminine voice thai both thrilled and astonished the traveller as it asked: "Excuse me, sir, but did you notice a bunch of horses along the trail as you came along? 'Horse rustlers' are reported lo be ranging lho country and father is anxious to have his horses rounded up for tlie night, I have ranged the hills around here, bul have found no trace ol them." As MlOSC words were spoken, tin' right hand that, gripped the revolver was automatIcallj transferred from lis lain lo the bridle rein. Both astonished and embarrassed at this unexpected meeting on a lone- ly trull with a young lady rider. dressed In male attire, lie mumbled an awkward apology and replied: "Oh. I beg your pardon, madame; there are no horses to he seen anywhere on the open country tit ihe west, nor in nny Other direction SO far as 1 could see, even with (he aid of my field glasses." Then he offered: "if there js anything I can do to assist you in tlie search for them, I shall be pleased to do it." "(Hi. lliank you," she said, "bul. I think I would rather nol. I shall turn back ami range those hills to the south, and If they are not there I shall follow lhe Halt from there home, and report my failure lo (ind lliein to fallier." Then reining her horse In Ihe direction indicated, she turned in her saddle as If lo give a parting greeting In the astonished traveller. As she did so, she seemed to notice for the first time the fagged and tired appearance of both horse and rider. She then turned her horse around and said: "Your horse seems tired. Vou must have travelled a long distance today." "I smarted from Fort Qu'Appelle this morning. My name Is MacKae, Ronald MacRae. 1 have just received my discharge from the Canadian army, Willi which I had been serving as scout wiih tbe General Middletou Brigade in the Kiel Rebellion. I am on my way lo North Dakota, where some of my people live, I was heading for the Moose Mountain Indian Agency, where I intended to spend the night and gel additional supplies lo continue tlie trip, bul it seems I jnissed the trail, If you can direct "lie there I shall feel grateful." "There is a trail leading ir* the agency from my home. Follow this trail and il will lead you lo I lie house about iwo miles east of here, From Ihere fattier will show you the trull lo the agency." with this parting instruction she turned her horse, and, waiving him a parting greeting, she set spurs to her horse's Hanks and galloped off in the direction of the hills lo the south to resume her search for the horses. For ii few minutes he Blood watching her as she cantered over Ihe rolling ground till she dropped out of sight half a mile away beyond Ihe brow of a hill. Her graceful riding. her skill in handling her horse, as well as tier Ingenuous manner, attracted both Ids fancy ami admiration. For some lime lie stood hesitating and undecided as to which course lo follow, tie was seized with a strong urge lo pross ids assisiance. The fact that "horse rustlers" were reported lo he in (he vicinity made him apprehensive of Lho dangers thai might be lurking In tin shelter of any bluff, lie knew the desperate character and criminal tendencies of such outlaws, and was accordingly con- j scions of the dangers that threatened a defenseless woman, ranging (he country alone, when such bandits are roaming at large. He* fell the urgency of following her to afford her protection In case of need. Finally, Impressed by hei» refusal to accept his assistance and satisfied witli her skill in horsemanship, as well as her independent self-assurance Jn her knowledge of the country, he decided lo follow Ihe trail leading io the house. Travelling leisurely along the trail, he, in a short lime, came to tlie shore of a lake of clear water wiih a well defined shorn line and sandy beaches! The land and surrounding hills were heavily wooded. lie turned to his left and took a well beaten trail that followed tbe windings of the lake shore; Following this trail a short distance he came lo a comparatively pretentious house built of peeled logs, and set on a stretch of rising ground a short distance bark from lhe lake of which It commanded a clear I view. The ground In front was elear- I ed ot all underbrush and fixed up as a | grassy lawn. A few shade trees of birches and poplars stood here and there on Ihe lawn in their irregular poshions of original growth in tlio forest. The rustic log dwelling had a verandah extending the full length of its fronl. ll was bull! so as to harmonize with the rusticity of the house itself, both of which were evidently built with a view to comfort and Iiominess, and much skill aud good laste were shown in their construction. These details were taken in hy the rider as he followed the path leading to tlie front of the house.

"Why," said a friend, "if you don't do anything but keep these children well clothed and fed you are doing a big and worthy work-." To which the mother replied: "I only wish somebody said tlia't to me every day." The steady, I faithful worker is not a spectacular person and his role Is not Hie kind lhe galleries applaud.

For a year and a half this market has tfone on increasing In favor, and. of coinise, greatly multiplying its efficiency Wo find that the local merchant cannot handle nearly all the pro- duets and so the producer is "caURht coining and goine" as It were—In fine he must let the produce rot on tho ground or sell for nothing, It Is just this, the farmer must bo helped In eveny possible way ; lie must bo helped to the best possible markets -i he is, all sa'd ami done, the one prime consideration in trade, for all classes are dependent on his success. Were the local store the only market at 'which to sell the eggs or fruit or berries, there would not be even the chance of a livelihood, and hence the producer must soon cease to function.

Inset, Hountlc. ft breath from lhe freezing winds of .ri. tho Canadian Arctic, with some- '.hins of its loneliness, its savagery, Its call upon the elemental qualities of courage and endurance and a dash of the romance of the long trails are embodied in Mountie, veteran hero of the wilderness and new leader of the Chateau Frontenac dog-team at Quebec*. Mountie is a husky, in other words, ! :;rt wolf and his wolf strain shows ii.plf in his handsome head, with its ' Iv.irp ears and nose, its steel-hard, laming eyes, its gleaming fangs and its i*re:it ruff of fur. He is a dark grey -hit, nlmo.rt one hundred weighl of nvjiclc. bone and sinew, ferocity, grim determination and unwavering fidelity. He was born away up within th.? Arctic Circle, at Lnc-du-llrochct, bought in 1919, when very young, by Sergeant Grennan of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and trained by him. .He put in nearly five years as a member ot that famous force, running patrols on His Majesty's Service with the red-coated heroes of the waste The journey from Le Pas, in Northern Manitoba, where he was purchased, to Quebec, a distance of well over two thousand miles, was an exciting and extraordinary experience for Mountie. He spent Christmas Day at Winnipeg, where the kind- hearted officials of the Canadian Pacific offered him seasonal fare, which he did not like much, except as a dessert following a mea' of his accustomed fish and biscuits. He made friends with the baggage men, who were more than sorry to part with him. At Montreal, he had a day's rest and there adjusted himself com- paratively easily to the strange turmoil of the great city. His driver, Arthur Beauvais, an Indian from Caughnawaga, took him for a short stroll through the streets, where he created a tremendous sensation. And no wonder, for Beauvais says he is without exception the finest husky he has ever seen, while the Mounted Police report that he has always been greatly admired wherever he has been, both for his appearance and his capacities. Now he is nt the Chateau Frontenac, working comparatively easily at giving visitors a ride and is one of the big attractions of winter-time Quebec and will no doubt shine brilliantly ut the forthcoming carnival there. fob SALE Six Lots near tho Hammond Park.

PANEL AND BASE Having completed the tuner to this point, set it aside and construct the upright panel. This panel may be a piece of wood about quarter-inch in thickness. An ordinary packing box board will do, providing it is perfectly d:y. Bore the hole for the two switches and. contacts and make holes * for the four binding posts, two on each side. The best way to do this right Is to make a plan of the panel on a piece of paper; measuring every liule right. When this is done, place the drawing on the panel and bore through paper and panel. The two holes on each corner on the left will be for your binding posts; one for the aerial at the top, and tho lower for the ground. The two on tho right will be for the phones. Tho switch contacts should be just close enough that the switch arm will not drop between the contacts but also far enough apart that the switch arm can be set so as to touch only one contact at a time. The telephone binding posts should <be of the set screw type. Having constructed the several parts Just mentioned and mounted them on the wood base, one is ready to connect the taps to the switch contacts and attach the other necessary wires. Scrapo tho cotton insulation from the loop ends of the sixteen taps as well as from the ends of the two single taps coming from the first and last turns. Fasten tho hare ends of these wires to the proper contacts* by inserting loop between the two nuts and screwing them tight. Ono should be careful not to cut or break any of the loop ends. Now take a piece of copper wire, connect on switch to binding post "ground," then" connect from this wire another wire to one of the phone' binding post ; th! switch being the on*> with 1 tap between each tap. Connect from tho other switch to binding post "Aereal" connect another wire on this to the crystal. Prom tho detoctor connect with another piece qf oopper wire to your other binding post of your phones. ^ Thjs concludes tl.Qt wiring for thin set. Article No. 7 will bo for operating this sot."

Don't dismiss it as* a joke. Remember.it's the shortest dis- i tanffo to the heart of the continent. ! Remember that the ships of the Hud- ! sod Bay Company sailed past lis head- I lands for 20U years. And on your lat- j est map of Canada find a slender line creeping straight out from the wheat lands toward Hudson Bay—a gleaming line of double steel rails determined on getting down lo salt water in the least possible dislance. You'll hear that the Hudson Bay route Is impractical. So was tho route via Panama impractical—once. There are bogs'; to be crossed and harbors to he dredg ed and beacon lights to set on many an unfriendly headland, but the sea tides run free long enough in every year lo let the ships in from the Atlantic and out again with their cargoes of grain. When you aro trying lo shorten the land haul that sets the distance you are from the central markets of the world, don't forget the Hudson Bay route." That well-known and reliable journal, "The Scienliile American," has also been paying some a tent ion to ,1 the northern route.

These! are not alarmist views, bin considered estimates of the effects of airplane attacks at the present day. During the next few years, as more and more ! powerful weapons are produced' their results arc bound to be sllll more terrible." Commander Barney, referred to an American airplane weighing '13,011*1 pounds, which can carry nearly five tons of bombs, says; "A squadron of 100 such machines, therefore, could carry 1,000 tons of explosives or poison gas; and Ihere can be Utile doubt that within a very few years It will be possible to destroy completely a town the size of London within a period of a few days." The best way to obtain limitation of armaments, says Commander Bur- ney, is the mobilization of world opinion. J. II, Thomas, lhe Colonial Secretary, In the Weekly Despatch, defends the Labor Government's decision to sanction the previous government's policy ol! air force expansion, saying: "While inking the necessary steps. as the late government did, to improve our all" defences by stages, we are certain that mere competition in armaments leads to disaster. While recognizing lhe necessity of defense, Ave want to do nothing to upset the European situation. At the same lime we must be in a position to establish confidence In Europe among Other peoples, no there will be a The Backward Farmer Who Fails to Profit By Advice 1'eOple Who ll') tO glVO tile fai'IlKI'S advice iluit mlghl be ol value to I hem in their business, claim thai those ■I reached by the methods usually employed are those who have either made good because of ihelr own energy or enterprise, or who would have made a success in any occupation, The farmer who Is groping along and lo whom precept and advice would unquestionably be of help rarely troubles himself to come within the range of Ihal sort of assistance. This situation Is noticeable in the effort, made by governments to educate farmers through fairs, plowing matches, and various other organized activities. It Is the prosperous, successful farmer who is prominently identified with these events and who reaps tho. benefits. The man with the dilapidated barn and scrub herd fails lo answer the call. When a method is discovered to interest Hie less successful farmer, then- will be belter progress in as- rl culture throughout Canada.—Sarnia Canadian-Observer. Lift Off-No Pain!

According to preliminary schedules issued by the various steamship companies operating between Canadian Atlantic ports and Europe, 192 ships will visit the port of Quebec in 1924. The Canadian Pacific Railway has inaugurated as a special feature the serving of afternoon tea regularly on all dining, cafe and buffet cars throughout the system. The tasteful little menu which the company provides includes tea, coffee, chocolate, toast, muffins, cake, ice cream ■nd preserves at reasonable prices. The Spiller Company, a great British concent with $150,000,000 capital, has completed arrangements for the establishment of facilities in Canada which will entail an outlay of $6,000,000 to finish the plant of the Alberta Flour Mills in Calgary, with another $2,000,000 to build an elevator at Vancouver. The second of the two large paper machines recently installed by the Belgo-Canadian Paper Company at Shawinigan Falls, Que., has commenced operations. The machine, which is the product of the Dominion Engineering Company, is now producing newsprint. It will be tuned up and is expected to produce • commercial grade of newsprint at or above its daily capacity of 75 tons in the near future. Will be under the management that Maple Leaf Inn was last season. Visit us in our new home. We assure 100 per cent service. Launches and Row Boats for hire A. W. Wooton, Harrison Hot Springs Harrison Mills Notes Speaking at Toronto recently, E. W. Beatty, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, declared that "what Canada is suffering from is lack of men, lack of capital and lack of those forward policies which will enable the country to realize within a reasonable time its own manifest destiny." He added that he did not believe in "exaggerated whisperings or in any statements which are calculated to destroy the belief of Canadians in their own country." Captain S. Robinson, C.B.E., R.N.R., commanding the Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Canada," was invested with the C.B.E. by Sir Harry Armstrong, British Consul- General at New York, when his ship arrived there on January 25th, prior to setting out on her great world cruise. Captain Robinson also received thc freedom of the city of New York. These honors were in recognition of his gallant work when commanding the Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Australia" at Yokohama, at the time of the Japanese disaster. According to Canadian Pacific officials, immigrants from Europe who spend a few hours in Montreal on their way west are re-discovering America—or rather Canada—at a great rate. Some days ago there were eighty Scandinavians drumming their heels in the big waiting- rooms at Windsor Station, bored to tears. Then one of them suddenly discovered that the Province of Quebec, unlike Sweden, is not "dry." The rush of the Danes on Alfred s England was as nothing compared to that with which thc delighted Scandinavian gentlemen emptied that waiting-room. So excellent did they find the beer that they did not show up again till train-time, when they announced unanimously, though with slight difficulty, thut "Canada bane one fine country." To be stranded In a atrange city with no worldly assets but a suit of dress-clothes and yet to come out of thc adventure victorious is to achieve something. Joe and Bill arrived in Montreal a few nights ago, their baggage consisting of the clothes they wore, two dress suits, an adequate quantity of the needful nnd an enthusiastic determination to sec Life with a capital L. When they woke on the morning after, they found that someone had relieved them of everything they por.r.essed except the dress suits they had slept in, and which they hml worn for the previous night's affray. In this predicament they appealed to the authorities at the Canadian Pacific Windsor Station, for work whereby to earn enough to take hem out of the wicked city. Sympathetic officials put them on tho snnw-shovclling gang. And here these two stout fellows, in their dress suits, Joe with his feet wrap- fied in sacking to keep them warm, shored heartily for four days, earning the price of their tickets hack to the little old home town. So once more fiction and the movies are beaten. X.ABQE ACREAGE IOId>—M>. SUSY POSTHASTES POR IB YEABS- ULBizr aid is active (Prom our Own Correspondent) Messrs. Cartmcll and Son, of ChllHwack, have purchased 56 acres ot the SeaWllta Indian Reserve, fronting on two sides on the proposed Dewdney Trunk road.
