An agreement was arrived at this week between Fred and William Jancowski, and the Stewart Land company, whereby the former will take over on a lease, subject to purchase, the old power plant at the corner of Columbia and Ninth streets, together with the telephone lines and water mains. While the mains were put in some 10 or 12 years ago, and have not been used for approximately eight years, there is every reason to believe that they are still in good condition, and serve the whole of the town from Ninth street south to Fourth. In connection with the telephone system, if the Jancowski brothers can get sufficient subscribers they will instal a switch board, doing away with the present party lines. But in the event of sufficient subscribers not being obtainable the present system will be maintained, with the exception that it will be kept in better order than has been possible heretofore.

If it had been the result of the adverse, balance of trade the exchange would still be heavily against this country. We have not redressed the balance of trade, but are continuing to buy from the United States more than that country buys from us. The explanation lies in the field of psychology more than economics. Canadians seem to have paid the premium on United States money because it was demanded, and now they stop paying because they can do business without it. This is not much of an explanation of our payment of twenty to fifty millions a year for several years as depreciation of perfectly good Canadian money. But it is the substance of the reasons that are given by the financial experts. ____r.T7Tr.TXTn * ��� i_i . a WORK FOR ALL PROVIDING unforeseen incidents do not arise, 1922 will see the largest pro- H0N A M MANSON, who holds the duction in gold, silver, lead and zinc in portfolio of minister of labor, has issued the history of British Columbia.

There is now no scarcity of employment and men who desire work can secure it. In his talk the minister re-1 ferred to the activity of the sawmills along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific as a factor in the employment situation. They were all idle last year, but are all working now, and, in the minister's opinion, have become a factor in the labor situation of the province. NOTE AND COMMENT Watch Stewakt Grow!

With a record production of four staple metals, especially in gold and silver as the basis of circulation and exchange, new life-blood will be injected into every other industry; there will be full and profitable employment for the people; the clouds of depression will be dispersed; I so and a feeling of confidence and optimism in the future of the province will permeate the community to an extent unknown since the days of the real estate boom.

Canadian Steam Laundr* MINING AND NATIONAL WEALTH In the development of her mineral resources Canada has the basis on which to construct one of the richest nations in the world. A knowledge of the facts here presented should do more than anything else to dispel the pessimism which has of late marked the utterances of some of our public men; and should have the effect of bestirring the nation to a determination to utilize these natural resources to the utmost. Now is the time for the Canadian people to demote a reasonable proportion of their capi tal and energy to the development of the mineral industry and to display their confidence in the value of the great heritage of which they are possessed. The director of the United States geological survey recently declared that the nation which exports its raw materials to other countries to be manufactured becomes the hewer of wood and drawer of water to the manufacturing countries. The Canadian people do not propose to become the hewers of wood and drawers of water to anybody, PICKED FROM THE DUMP Platinum is now quoted at $105 an ounce. The outlook for gold mining is most promising. The gold belt of Mount Baker is being traced by prospectors into British Columbia. Thirty-five years ago the mineral production of Canada was only $2.23 per head of the population. Today it is $21.50, thank you. The gold production of 1922 should aggregate 300,000 ounces or more, and this production will make the record in British Columbia gold mining. Ridium slumped to $1,967,319 an ounce, last week. No ene was hurt in Hyder. The silver outlook for 1922 is splendid. It is expectied to reach between 7,000,000 and 8,000,000 ounces, the highest production in the history of the province. In former years the Boundary district was the largest mineral producing section of the province. Today the place of honor in metal mining goes to northern British Columbia, which last year produced 65 per cent of the total metals; 63 per cent of the gold; 57.2 per cent of the silver, and 89.93 per cent of the copper.

The mining laws of this Province are more liberal and the fee- lower than those of any oth.r Province in the Dominion, or any Colony in the British Empire. Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees. Absolute Titles are obtained by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by Crown Grants.

ROLSTON, Agent BRAIN LEAKS Yield not too much temper. A quart of berries well sold is better than two on the bush. Most men discuss not so much to learn as to display their learning. An ounce of pretention is worse than a pound of unassuming self- confidence. There are two ways of eating corn. The polite way and the usual way. Common effort produces results. A little extra effort produces success. Keep your face always towards the sunshine, the shadows will fall behind you. Discovering an error is the same as finding out a truth. When one has experience it is usually too late to make use of it. What makes a community go ahead is the genuine* co-operation of its inhabitants. Wool gathering is all right for sheep but bad for men. Grow sheep but don't let wool gather in your mind. STEWART, B. (J, VICTORIA APARTMENTS FURNISHED 634 KINGSWAY HYDER, B.C. MRS.
