Two small bridges on the Salmon river road, one at Three-mile and the other at Eleven-mile, have been washed out and the road in many places is practicably impassable.

C, Mayers, attorneys of Vancouver, came north on the Cardena from Vancouver in connection with a suit brought by the company that had insured a barge-load of Premier ore that was lost on the 22nd of March, 1922, by the barge capsizing a few miles south of Anyox. The Premier company claims $17,000 damages for the loss of the ore, and the insurance Co. are resisting on the grounds that the barge was un- seaworthy. The barge was loaded with between 400 and 500 tons of second-grade silicious ore, such as the Premier has been shipping to the Granby smelter for the past two years, and was towed by the tug Tartar, commanded by Captain Cameron, now of the Marmion.

Coal Notices, $7. No Advertising Accepted for First Pajre SIGNS OF GROWTH THE growth of Stewart is exemplified in the appointment of J. JP. Scarlett as stipendiary magistrate as well as mining recorder, likewise the appointment of two provincial constables, with headquarters here. IN the case of the former appoint ment, it is a long step forward, and rafses the status of the community considerably, as well as leaving only a short step to be taken to have established here a government agency, which, while not essential at the mement, will be a necessity within the next two years. With the encouraging mining development that has taken place during the last few months, and the increased activities that go hand in hand with it, it is only reasonable that the immense amount of work thus entailed will soon make it more economical to centralize the district's government offices in Stewart, instead of dividing the work up between Stewart, Anyox and Prince Rupert, as is the case at the moment. BY a decision taken some time ago, and the appointment recently of a high school teacher for Stewart, by the Board, Stewart is rapidly assuming her rightful place as a centre. Never in its history has the district attained the position reached during the past year, and if the rapidity of growth is maintained for the next few years, the head of Portland Canal will be one of the most prosperous towns west of the Rockies.

WE wonder to what sarconic and cynical thought President Coolidge has been moved these last few days, even in the midst of the impressive solemnity of assuming his present august station, TEN days ago he went his modest and silent waja, unsolicited, almost ignored. He counted little in the schemes of other men, He eould do them no hurt, hard them no favors, smooth for them no paths, ease for them no burdens. Even his little group of New England friends regarded him as a political accident whose name would probably be forgotten by the multitude before another quadrennial had passed. Who of you can quickly name the ticket companion of Taft? Of Roosevelt? Even Wilson's loquacious running mate is sinking into placid oblivion. TODAY the world ia finding sudden qualities of greatness in Mr. Coolidge. His door is haunted by the greedy of place and the specious of plea. The would-be-helpers-for-a-purpoee elbow their way to his side to thrust their aid upon him. The sycophants fawn and the tuft hunters cringe. Overnight friends reach forsplin- tersof his power. Self-made i spokesmen strive to bask in the reflected light of his authority. Yet he is the same man this 12th day of August that he was on the tragic eve of August 2, So much is man, in the eyes of the world, the sum of himself and his place or his possessions.
