"Prosperity comes in cycles," says an expert, the best of which is the try-cycle. To quell the outbreak of crime in Seattle, 100 additional policemen have been sworn in. Hank Ford tells young men to spend something on themselves ���buy a flivver, of course. Just because the dictionaries have smallpox, the schools will not be closed in the province. Kaiser William may yet live to wish he had arranged another Worlfl war insteap of another marriage. Attorney General Manson says that "private liquor supplies must go." The News devil states his supply has gone months ago. In the north one or two double- barrelled looking men are shooting, daily, single-barrelled stuff, simply because they haven't double-barrelled ammunition. And now when a woman smells something burning, she can't tell whether it's the roast in the oyen or her cigarette on the table cloth. Thursday night the leather parliament's chief topic was "political economy," The hon. member from Swamp Point, in closing the debate, said: "It always was a mystery to him how the two words, 'political' and 'economy' ever got hooked up together." Fifteen years ago, this week, Rev. George Sheldon of Topeka, Kansas, leased the Daily Globe, for the purpose of running a paper as \jtiiiSt WGuiu run ii. At the expiration of the week, the subscription list was redueed from 52,000 daily to 2860: the advertising fell off 90 per cenl; and besides the rev. gentleman was horsewhipped twice; shot at four time*: licked a score of timep. and bad fiv<* libel puim.

YOUNG PROPRIETOR Alice Arm Notes The Homestake Mining company intend to do considerable work on their property at the Kitsault glacier this year. The No. 1 tunnel, which was commenced in 1921, and which had just encountered ore when operations ceased, will be continued until the ore body is cut through. Work will then be commenced on the No. 2 tunnel, and this tunnel will be driven as far as possible. It is anticipated that about 300 feet of tunnel work will be done this year, and it is possible that the work will be done by contract. brought about the sale, will receive 7 cents on the dollar. Ex- president Madden states that he is prepared to pay what he regards as just debts against the property and expects these bo be about $3,000 or $7,000. It is the intention to resume operations at the property in the course of a few months. Reopen Cinnabar Reopening of the old workings of the Cinnebar mine in the Copper creek district, about 30 miles west of Kamloops, is to take place in a few days. The work is to be undertaken for a group of Kentucky capitalists, who are negotiating with the present owners of the property for control of the mine. PUBLIC AUCTION OF GOVERNMENT LOTS AT STEWART, B.

In each case the people will determine whether the prohibition laws shall stand, and whether there shall he government control and sale. There are further questions whether the sale of beer shall be authorized when the sale ef spirits is prohibited, and in that case whether the sale of beer shall be a government monopoly. While two prairie provinces are pondering over these choices Saskatchewan considers other things. That province reached prohibition through the intermediate process of government control. SUGAR PROSECUTIONS SECESSION NONSENSE HAD the New York conspirators been content with a moderate steal of some 20 per cent of the cost of raw sugar they might have got away with their plunder. | But the impudent plot to raise the price more than 100 per cent has made them objects of wrath and contempt in their own country and far abroad. It is believed that there is law in the United States to break up this conspiracy, to punish the offenders and to bring about an early reduction of prices. The United States is the only country which has jurisdiction to deal with The administration seems to have the will and lhe power to do it, and there is no doubt that it has the emphatic support of public opinion in the most severe measures that can be taken. ONLY two or three members of the Nova Scotia legislature voted for the secession resolution, proposed by Mr. Corning. These may have been influenced by a wish that the mover should not be left entirely alone. But even that is not a good excuse. It is time that the last was this offense and these offenders. heard of separation.
