Leaving here in August, last year, he packed in over the head of the Salmon to Bowser lake, at the head of which he established his headquarter's camp, and from this point he struck northwest, establishing two other camps, 10 miles apart. Mr. Anderson says that there is a low divide between the head of Bowser lake and 20-Mile creek, and a good trail could be built through this pass to the head of the Unuk, and also over to the Telegraph trail. The only trouble would be experienced between the end of the Bear river wagon road and the foot of Bowser lake. He is enthusiastic about the country, and states that if a trail is put into the foot of Bowser lake this year, he will take a couple of horses in and stay, there being plenty of feed.

It must not be forgotten that the King administration has scarcely had an opportunity to turn around in its office chair. No sooner had it attained power than it was compelled to prepare for its first session. In the course of a very short time it can I be assumed that this country and the' motherland will be advised of what Canada is prepared to do to assist Great Britain to send us some of her superfluous population and how we can help ourselves by the process. In the meantime the Australian plan to go fifty-fifty with the British government in respect to organized immigration schemes will have been noted by the authorities at Ottawa. The government will also have taken into account the advisability of assisting sectional enterprise wherever possible. NOTE AND COMMENT The Office Kat in the Prince Rupert Empire should be assassinated. It brings in some awful garbage. Eight years ago on the sixth of this month the first train from Winnipeg ran into the Prince Rupert station. No one was killed. AT Genoa Russia begins by playing the part of the beggar on horseback. By the grace and tolerance of other nations, and especially of Great Britain, she has been admitted on probation to their councils. Her delegates begin by proposing to drag in new subjects which the conference was not called to discuss, and then proceed to object to the presence of Japan and Roumania. If all the leaders had been quick tempered, like Barthou, or contemptuous like the representative of Japan, or as fond of dialectics as the Russians, much time and temper might have been wasted. It fell to the man accused of Celtic temperament to preserve or restore the calm, polite and tolerant diplomatic atmosphere. Mr. Lloyd George is now the shining example of serene affability at Genoa, as Mr. Balfour was in Washington. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Put he has also force and authority, and; The Canadian Pacific railway made more with the help of a wise chairman, is able | money last year than the Portland Canal News. to put Russia in her place to the complete I" fact it made a net profit of THIRTY FOUR wm *W*'-**mt���"��� r I ,��Ti t tam nnn APC Pannia miohl rpnsnnnl.lv satisfaction of France.

The plain suggestion is that Russia need not remain if she is not content. At the same time the British premier MILLION DOLLARS.

When Britain consented to meet former enemy nations in conference she did it it in good] faith, without any purpose of consigning them to a Court of the Gentiles. Lloyd George has difficulty in persuading some of the nations that in this conference there no enemies and no allies, but all are meeting to devise better ways of getting along together. So far as the meeting has gone Germany has by her correct and friendly course made that position easy, while Russia has made it hard.

PROSPECTORS ON ROAD TO CARIBOO Impart a Glow of Contentment and Satisfaction All signposts seem to be pointing to Cariboo this spring, so far I as prospectors and a good many j mine operators are concerned I and already the country from | Anderson lake to Barkerville is i alive with prospectors. The i discoveries made at Cedar creek | last fall, of course, have been I the prime incentive for the movement, which at this stage, looks as though it may develop into a veritable rush. The reduction in the cost of supplies, I the abundance of labor available, the great improvement in transportation, through the agency of the P. G. E. railway, and the fact that gold has a constant value, are all factors that are playing their part. Everything at the present time points to a revival of placer mining in the Cariboo, the like of which has not been known since the peaceful days before 1914. Should a few unusually rich discoveries be made in the early part of the season, a rush to the district inevitably will result. Drilling on Williams creek, below Barkerville, has proved the existence of four million cubic yards, averaging 31 cents per yard, and there still is a great amount of dredging ground that has not been tested. Up to now, gold dredging has not been attempted in the Cariboo district, but with so much ground actually proved there is ample opportunity for profitable dredgingoperationsin the famous and historical district.

PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $331,995,328 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.

DANN, Proprietor Steom Heated Rooms Comfortably Furnished Drying Room Dining Room Baths RATES, $1 OO A DAY Canadian GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAILWAYS HOME MADE HOOTCH 'Twas a nice day in October, Last September in July, The Moon lay thick upon the ground; The mud Phone in the sky. The flowers were sinping: sweetly, The birds were in full bloom; Then I went into thc cellar To sweep an upstuirs room. The time was Tuesday morning. On Wednesday just at night; I saw a thousand miles away, A house just 0"t of sight. The walls projected backwards The front was rounding back. It stood alone with two others; The fence was white washed black. It was moonlight on the ocean, Not a street car was in sight, The sun was shining brightly, And it rained all day that night. It was summer in the winter, The rain was mowing fast, A barefoot boy with shoes on, Stood sitting on the grass. It was evening and the rising sun, Was setting in the night, And everything that I could see, Wasfhidden out of sight. This is what you get friend, By drinking home-made brew, At least 'twas what I got, friends, I'm saying 'twas some stew. The Telephone Plaint I am a telephone. While 1 am not broke, I am in the hands of a receiver. I have it mouthpiece, but, unlike women, I never use it. Fellows use me to maae dates with girls and girls use me to break said dates. Husbands call up wives over me and wives call their husbands down over me. I never get to go anywhere but sometimes the company takes me out-it all depends on whether you pay your bill or not. I am not a bee, but often I buzz in your ear. I am the bell of the town, and while I don't get jewelry, 1 often get rings. Whether I do anything or not, a lot of people often nail me to the wall. I like music, but the music I hear is chin music. I get all the popular airs, and the most popular one is hot air. Men and Flirts In his Lenten patoral the Bishop of Galway murmurs: "Men are seldom blind enough to marry a flirt. They may toy with her to amuse themselves at her expense. They may flatter and care for her. Aye, they may I ruin her. But they will never marry her. The great bulk of Irish girls are splendid, butmany of them are silly to a degree." As a beauty, I am not a star, There are many more handsome by far; My face, I don't mind it, For I am behind it ��� The people in front get the jar. A Toronto man says water will again flood the earth 39,919 years hence. Somebody's always flattering proliihitioiiists.
