VALUES FROM SMOKE THE great boast of the Chicago stockyards is that in dealing with the humble but necesssary pig they use everything except the squeal, but may even realize on the pitiful pleadingsof "Horace" as he goes to his doom by selling the gramaphone rights. The boast of the Trail smelter is that its talented chemists and metallurgists have managed to save values from the smoke of the lead* furnaces. Here is the greatest industrial plant of the Kootenay. Its payroll seldom goes under 1000 men, and has gone as high-as 3700. It covers acres upon acres of ground on the benches above the city, h-.s miles of railway track and has won a reputation in metallurgical centers as a most efficient plant. NOTE AND COMMENT FROM Mr. Hearst, no less, comes this tribute to the English: The English seem to have forgotten their war antagonisms more than any other other country and to have set to work more seriously to bring about Europe's reconstruction. With them, apparently, M when war ends business begins, and they THE argument advanced by supporters are right. of profiteering prices for liquor at the In that sense Napoleon's taunt that the government stores in this province js English were a nation of shopkeepers ear- hardly sound when it contends that On- ried no sting but rather a compliment tario does not need to sell for profit inas much as liquor purchased in that province is for medicinal purposes. The memory ot) our own government can hardly be so short on the prices which were charged in this province when, under the prohibition act, liquor was sold here on doctors' prescriptions. The prices, then, too, were abnormal. The desire then, too, was to make a substantial profit, and this profit was realized. During the first year of the operation of the Liquor Control Act the government cannot deny that this legislation was interpreted as meaning that the government should make whatever profit it desired. There was but little public criticism of the prices charged up to quite recently, because the people realized that the government was engaging in an experiment. Now the Liquor Control Board can estimate the cost of operation. It knows the prices that will insure a legitimate profit, and the attorney-general has said that it is his intention to arrange that the law is carried out for moral purposes, not for money making.

Ontario was the scene of the first oil production on the continent in 1857, two years earlier than the Drake well of Pennsylvania, which is generally credited with being the pioneer of he oil industry. ln 18G6 the Silver Islet mine of Lake Superior was discovered. This mine was the basis for the j for the money making reputation ! attaching to early mining in i Canada. It was sold for $225,- 000, paid from gr iss roots the purchase price and cost of de- ; velopment and equipment in the jfirst year of operation, produced j silver to the value of $3,089,157. 'and paid dividends of $360,000. Frue, its metallurgist, invented the Fine vanner. In the same , year the first gold in Ontario was reported from the Richardsoi mine in Hastings county. Montreal was the first city in Canada whose business men realized the value of the mineral industry in the development of the counlry. In 1845 parties of p 'espectors were organized to ,the number of between 80 and 1)0 men. and they were despatched throughout Quebec and Ontario to obtain information as to tbe mineral resources.

PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $336,562,897 A bank teller always has something of interest on hand. The care of a nice baby is the happiest of all responsibilities. Undue consciousness of the intellect usually rises from an unrecognized of an aching void. No matter how hungry a man may be he is sure to choke on the bread of charity without the butter of kindness. Everything in nature equalizes itself. Moonshine is said to shorten life, but a fellow sees twice as much in the same. It is a good thing to stick to what you say, but remember what you say is very likely to stick to you for a long time. Lode mining has only been in progress for about 33 years, and not 20 per cent, of the Province has been even prospected; 300,000 square miles of unexplored mineral-bearing land are open for prospecting. The mining laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees lower than those of any other 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.

And now comes the radiophone which demands that the ladies remove their earpads. If you have a man who is not fired with enthusiast. Then quickly fire him with enthusiasm. Charity often means throwing your dough on the waters and keeping a weather eye for angel food cake to come floating in. It will be quite time enough to talk about the faults and failings of absent friends when we have assured ourselves that we have none of our own of which to speak.

News, $5 Year BY HARDKOCK HILLS There is lots of gold in the ore of life if we can learn to extract; it, and leave the dross behind. This first involves recognition of | what is good and what is not good, both in ourselves and in others. Some humans assay better than others. In other words, human nature is a strange mixture of good and evil, gold and dross; in some the good predominates, and in others th-- evil. The environment of a western mining camp may be the crucible in which the human ego is tried, and in which the gold may be brought out or otherwise. A certain amount of money is a very necessary passport through our material existence. Wealth is a passing convenience and responsibility. But there are many men of great material wealth who are poverty stricken inspirit. Figuratively speaking, they have not a chair to sit down on. Money never made a real man yet, but it has unmade a good many, ln the final analysis, a man is no richer than the spirit he has developed within himself, lhe real gold is in theore of life. By the law of reaction in nature, if we do evil, evil will return to us. But if we do good, then good only can come to us. Oh, You Prune A Vancouver paper _ays: "A new prune is being introduced in the Okanogan country." This matter interests us. We are wondering whether this new prune wiggles and drags his feet when he dances. The old kind was rather long on this sort of thing, and we have always wished someone would introduce a new one. The old one also blows eigarette smoke in your face while you arc eating, and then there is the greener sort that talks aloud at the eiuu.it. and reads the titles at tin- movie. We hope tlie new prune can nut boast of such educational activity and that thc new variety ca.i give vent to expressions other than, "I'll tell the world," and "believe me, k'd."
