Men mass science, skill, experience and money in an attempt to arrest and capture it, but by some queer little twist or bump it unexpectedly veers off, and passes just out of reach, continuing its headlong course, leaving its would-be captors breathless as PHENOMENAL COINCIDENCE As civilization progressed westward, problems never before encountered in the daily lives of the people presented themselves, with the result that necessity forced the pioneers to be intensely practical, and continually on the lookout for better and simpler methods. As a result of this, what might be termed a mental condition, two men in this district have within the past year perfected mechanical inventions that in their particular sphere introduce radical changes for the better in motor car construction. The first, Hugo Stratford, formerly in charge of the Stewart power and water to how they missed. ��� A year or so later down the hill of j plant, later head mechanic at the Premier time, others repeat the attempt with the|mine, and still later again* in charge of same result. Others try, and still others, but fate seems obdurate, and the world becomes cynical and pessimistic in their exclamations that it can not be done, when lo, an old white-haired prospector, who left the Emerald Isle a half century the Stewart power plant, perfected a def erential gear for motor cars, which he has amply protected. The second, W. R. McDonnell, of Hyder, Alaska, owner of a motor stage line from Stewart to Premier mine, has per- ago, with nothing left but a memory of'te^d a new and genuine four-wheel the green hills and thatch-roofed cottages and his "ould Mither sittin" by the fire, secures the necessary financial support and while the world grown cold with pessimism looks on and smiles tolerantly, he brake, that is simplicity itself and does away with 186 parts at present in use. He also has protected his invention. It appears rather phenomenal that both these improvements should have IN PROBATE IN THE SUPREME COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA IN THE MATTER OF THE ADMINISTRATION ACT and IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF WILLIAM MURPHY DECEASED INTESTATE TAKE NOTICE that hy order of his Honor F.

The world gasps for breath, that blight to all human endeavor, the pessimist, is sarcastic in his disappointment. A mine is made. Accomplishment is complete. Employment, happiness and wealth are given to the werld. So it was with Premier, so it is now proving to be with Big Missouri. ��� Patrick Daly, that son of Erin, laughed at by some, men in a district as remote as this from the world, constituting, as they do. improvements for which the entire mechanical world has for years been looking. The snow, ice, and precipitous mountains of these northern regions, presenting, as they do, many and varied problems, appear useful, not only as the producers of great mineral wealth, bnt also conducive to inventive genius. The district is proud of these two clever young inventors, whose activities are taking them into larger field*, and will watch with personal [interest and pride their march to success. Geo.

Buying and Selling orders courteously tilled at best prevailing market prices, H. W. M. ROLSTON & CO. Portland Canal Stock Specialists Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King Premier King Has Said "I Promise tAe West Impartial Justice and Equal Treatment" His famous Order-in-Coun- i'il is concrete evidence that he means to carry out this policy. The Order reads: "The Committee are of the opinion that the policy of equalization of freight rates should be recognized as bi-injr the only means of dealing equitably with all parts of Canada, and as a means of encouragement of industry und agriculture, and the development of export trade." Contrast this policy with the statement of Mr. Meighan, which his followers - the Conservative Candidates - will he compelled to support by reason of the pledges of the Conservative candidates in the East. Meighan said: "There has been a measure of relief for the West by means of equalization of freight rates, which is utterly indefensible." There you have the policy as it will be applied to the West, of the two parties who now ask your endorsation. The policy of the Liberal Candidates is to populate the West. Population will come where it is profitable to live. Open Canada's natural trade routes to the world's markets, for the tremendous natural resources of the West Equalize freight rates Westward, and you will have turned the key that unlocks the door to prosperity. A definite example of what these <li* criminating rates are costing the VVost as they affect the fruit growers of British Columbia���is found in these figures: From Grimsby to Montreal, it is 390 miles���and the rate is 95c per 100 Ihs. From Vernon to Calgary, it is 340 miles���and the rate is $2.40 per 100 lbs The same discrimination is applicable to all lines of Western production. This is startlingly evident when you ascertain that in the six years previous to 1921, the West contributed $174,000,000 net profit to the Canadian Pacific���while the Easl, with its greater population, contributed but$81,500,000...1esB than half. You must decide whether the mun you send to Ottawa shall be controlled by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Inter- ests of the East���who, for narrow, selfish reasons are antagonistic to the West���or. whether you will send a man to lupport a leader in the person of the Rt. Hon. W. I. Mackenzie King, who believes he is serving the best interests of the whole Dominion by giving impartial justice and equal treatment to the West. VOTE FOR FRED STORK M.
