December 6, 1912 $3.00 Per Year ASKED FOR CHASE Board of Trade Honor* Vice-President Brooks Who Is About To Remove From The Town. More New Members Elected. The meeting of the board of* trade on Holiday evening was on. of more than usual interest. G. G. Chase reported for the committee that had been appointed to wait on Mr. Haylock to ask that he reconsider his resignation. The secretary had been prevailed on to retain his office. This announcement gave the greatest satisfaction to the members, for no one waa in sight so exactly fitted to the duties of the office. Three applicants were ballotted on and admitted to membership: B. J. Sainsbury, proposed by G. G. Chase; W. P. Pritchard and C. H. Mathewaon proposed by H. J. Haylock. A communication was read from Mr. Forde, road engineer, stating that the C. P. R. were opposed to making two open crossings at Chase. If the one to the government wharf was opened they wished to close the one to the mill. If the people of Chase wished it, he would take the question to the board of railway commissioners. The secretary was directed to advise Mr. Forde that it was the wish of the town that both crossings be opened. A suggestion was put forward that the board should communicate with the Department of the Interior concerning the acquisition of that part of the Chase Creek gorge below the bridge that is still in the hands of the Dominion government with the object of improving ii at^wnc fi,:*.i;*e time, as ap'.'hliir nark. The matter waa left in the hands of the civic and district improvement committee, Mr. Haylock then in fitting terms moved a resolution expressing the regret of the board at the prospective loss of its honored vice-president, Mr. E. E. Brooks, and also voicing the appreciation by the members of his very valuable services to the board and to the town. Mr. Brooks had been one of the most enthusiastic and faithful members. In reply Mr. Brooks spoke of the value the board of trade had been to the town and district. He was, he said, proud to have been a member of such a body. He then went on to speak of the bright future that is before this section of British Columbia. By the nature of the country and on account of its unlimited water power to be turned into electricity it was fitted to become a great manufacturing country. Somewhere in the interior of the province there would grow up a city of a hundred thousand people���a centre of manufacturing industries, indeed, there might be several such. It was for our board of trade to see that we get our BLIND BAY A Good House Enjoyed a Pleasant Evening, The Visiting Players Surprise Expectation, The performance of the Blind Bay dramatic club at the Black Douglas opera house on Saturday evening was even better than most of us expected, and thot is saying b good deal, for we had heard that they put up some good shows in their own hall. The program included two farces. In the first, entitled "Chopsticks and Spikens", Messrs. T. H. Dunne and Stanley Keedraan played the leading roles. Mr. Dunne did credit to his long experience in amateur theatricals. He and Mrs. Dunne, who played the mother- in-law, have been prominent in amateur dramatic clubs in the various places throughout the weBt where they have lived since the time more than thirty years ago when Mr. Dunne was in the mounted police stationed in the Cypress share of this coming business and growth. Mr. Brooks went on to speak of his regret at leaving Chase. It was only the necessity imposed by his business interests that waa taking him away. While in the future he would not be present to help in building up the town he might even in his absence be able to drive a spike occasionally. He would never lose his interest in our welfare. Mr. Joseph Brown, a visitor from Celista was then called upon by the vice-president to tell something of the prospects! in his district. Mr. Brown spoke of the misunderstanding on the part of some of the settlers in Celista as to just wbat were the various proposals for giving them a road to outside points. He thought that if they knew exactly what had passed between the committee of the board and the government officials at their recent visit they would be able to judge intelligently as to what they should ask for. There were also present at tho meeting two gentlemen fromPetosky, Michigan, who were looking for an opening for a shingle mill. Mr. Mesick spoke interestingly of the shingle busihess in his home state. They had a mill down In Michigan that had worked itself out of a job, for there waB no more timber available. Mr. SloBser explained that even the stumps of trees that had been cut twenty-five years ago were now being dUt off close tAxhc ground. **rld using mhde into shingles. If they could be assured of a steady supply of timber and a good market for their product they would move their machinery to Chase and put up a mill here. It was explained by the chairman that the settlers all around the lake had quantities of timber on the land they were clearing that would make shingle bolts and that they would be glad to dispose of. There was also a certain amount of hollow ceder that broke in falling that was left on the ground by the Adams River company that would be the best of shingle stuff. Mr. Mesick was recommended to take a trip up the lake with some members of the board and talk with the settlers and ascertain what the supply from that source was likely to be. Mr. Slosser explained that in the east he had been managing editor of the PetoBky Herald. But the newspaper business was too hard work and he proposed to join his friend in the shingle business. The chairman thanked the visitors for their presence and for bringing their business to the attention of the board. The meeting then adjourned. Life In The Open. Frank White, Ernest Bradley and Happy Stafford spent the week end from Friday to Monday up among the anow at th. foot of Fly Hill. They aay there are no flies there just now. It was not a hunting expedition. They merely wanted to enjoy the pure upland air for a few daya and took gun* along to protect themselves against possible attacks by wild beasts. But the rabbits were not ferocious, snd th. bears were all away visiting wife's relations. Frank says they made some nourishing soup on Sunday from a few deer tracks that they found in the snow. Moving Pictures Again. Capt. Barry is making arrangements to put on teh movies regularly in th* Chase opera house. Percy Weaver will be the operator and will combine it with his other work. In the summer we had two houses running and more pictures than busy people had time to look at, but for the last couple of months there have been none at all. Away From The Snows. | Victoria, Dec. 3.���Evidently there i* some mistake In the report that Mr. Thomas Kilpatrick of Revelstoke was to become inspector of bridges in the provincial department of railway*. "Mr. Kilpatrick is an excellent man and we would be glad to have him in th* provincial service if he would come,'' say* the deputy-minister, Mr. W. W. Foster, "but nothing of the kind has been suggested. Mr. Kilpatrick has been fighting snowslides for twenty-five year* and I understand he hi* decided to take a rest. I believe he haa contracted a desire to spend a winter some place where there is no snow." Band Organized At a meeting of the descent Valley social and athletic club it was decided to go ahead and organisie a band and A. D. Robarge was unanimously elected president and leader.

Mrs. Dunne was the first lady to take ladies' parts in theatricals anywhere between Winnipeg and Vancouver. Before that the female parts were taken by men. Mr. Reedman did some very clever acting that showed dramatic talent and good training. The parts taken by Mrs. Baines and Miss Barnard were also well handled and the part of maid was played by Mr. Jessup so well that no one suspected his sex.

Port Arthur, Ont., Dec. 4.���This week will witness the last heavy rush of shipments from Port Arthur before the navigation season of 1912 comes to a close. ' Saturday 22 hulls cleared with an aggregate of about eight million bushels and by Wednesday midnight it is expected fully 25 more will be ready tor their last trip. They will carry away 10,000,000 bushels ond during the last three days of the week there will be another heavy shipment. A large fleet of boats are on their way to Port Arthur, and there will probably be about 50 of them winter here. Their holds will be filled and they will be used for storage purposes. The rush to handle the incoming freight on the steamers and to load them with grain for the return, in so short a space of time, bas created a scene of unprecedented activity along the water front. Large Stock Now In The Yards. Immediate Improvements To Be Made In The Water System. The biggest season's cut yet. That is the record the Adams River Lumber Company's mill made in the eight and a half months run that ended when the mill shut down on Friday laat. The amount of the cut was thirty million feet, made up of cedar, fir, spruce, and white pine. The mill has given employment during the summer to from 150 to 200 men, besides those in the camps. A few of the men will leave the district for the winter but the majority will go to work in the wood.. The plsning mill will continue to run through the winter as usual, with only a short shut down for overhauling. Throughout the season the market conditions have been good and have strengthened considerably in the last few months. The company now has in stock in its yards here about twenty million feet of lumber to ship from until the next year'B cut is ready to move. The aim of the company is to maintain a minimum stock of ten million feet, as when the total falls below that amount it means that some lines are sold out and the stock is broken. It is e::pected that during the present winter more logs will be got out than last year and that next season's cut at the mill will be correspondingly increased. The chute over the Bide of the mountain from Lavigne's camp will be in operation next week. Through it about five million feet of logs will be put into the lake. The engineering work preparatory to the building of the big log flume down Bear Creek and Adams River to Shuswap Lake has been halted for the present by the arrival of the winter weather. The whole project will be poshed to rapid completion as soon as spring opens. General manager Sawyer has just returned from Idaho, where he hu been looking into the construction and working of other flumes with a view to combining all their excellences and eliminating all their faults in what will be the largest log flume in existence. In California there are lumber flumes a hundred miles long, but nowhere is there any log flume that equals in capacity the one to be built here. An improvement in connection with the water system that supplies the town and mill will be undertaken at qnce. This is the supplementing of the reservoir now in use by an additional one above it. From the new reservoir the water will be carried In a boxjflume to the brow of the hill. There a triple settling box will be installed, thua doing away with the trouble caused by sediment in the boilers. While ths maximum pressure will not be increased the average pressure will be much greater because of the improvements. tlSIfil A Large Crowd Attends the Funeral of the Late D, G, Macpherson At Chase Ranch. The death occurred at the Chase ranch on Friday, November 29, of one of the original settlers of this part of the province, Donald Grant Macpherson, at the age of eighty-six. A large concourse of friends attended the funeral ceremonies and witnessed the interment at the Chase cemetery on Sunday. December 1st. Mr. Macpherson is survived by one daughter. The deceased was born at Keith, Banffshire, Scotland, in 1826. He came to America at the age of twenty-two and worked at hia trade>f stone mason in Missouri until the opening of the civil war. Crossing to Canada, he became superintendent of bridge construction on the building of the Grand Trunk railway. He afterwards came to British Columbia, making the trip round the horn. He joined in the gold rush to the Cariboo and afterwards to the North Bend of the Columbia. On his way in to tbe North Bend he passed through what is now Chase and became aquainted with Whitfield Chase, who had already bought land and settled here. On his return from North Bend in the fall of the year 1862, he wintered in the first house built on the present site of the city of Kamloops. William Fortune, who still resides in Kamloops, had built the house for the Hudson Bay Company. That was when the company was moving its trading post from the opposite side of the river, where it was first located. It is more than forty years now since Mr. MacpherBon took, up land in Back Valley and went into partnership with his friend, the late Whitfield Chase, in thestock raising business. Since then he has spent his time between Chase and his Back Valley ranch, in later years residing here altogether. For the last ten years he had been troubled more or less with rheumatism that kept him from taking his former active part in directing the work of his ranch. The funeral on Sunday was attended Arrangements Have Been Made for Meetings Throughout the Country, Victoria, Nov. 30.���The livestock branch of the department of agriculture has arranged for courses of lectures at Ladner December 2 and 8; Huntingdon, 4 and 5; Chilliwack, 6 and 7; Ganges Harbor, 16 and 17; Comox, IB and 20.

The service was held in the home on Chase ranch and waB conducted by the Rev. J. Hyde. There were numerous lloral tributes from various groups of friends. In conversation many friends recalled interesting incidents in the life of Mr. Macpherson, Bpeaktng of the days when he used to ride the ranges with them. Until past seventy he had been a strong active man, taking his share of the rough work of the pioneer. f; rf'rn _____ 'iN -_��_. - ��� .������-,���*- -M ' ������*��������� " TWO TU CHASE TRIBUNE The Use of Folders For Advertising Xmas Goods fekfe-Uk-ffll In order to let the public know what he has tb sell, a good method for the city merchant to adopt, besides using the local newspaper, is to circularize his district.

In the distribution of these folders the better method would be to mail one to each customer, both regular and transient.

'THEY'RE COMING TO OHASE _____ LOOKING AHEAD FOR PLEASURE. There nre some tilings thnt can be done for a town in its youth that can never be done afterwards at so little expense. Among, these things is the provision n. land for parks. No such provision has'beeii made iu Chase to date. Open country near town iB so plentiful Unit, the need hns not been felt, But that state of things will not lust for ever. The gorge of Chase Creek from the town up to the bridge is the making of mi ideal park of a certain type ���the rugged, scenic type, The land is useless for any other purpose unless for athletic grounds for a herd of goats. Some of it at least is still in the hands of the Dominion government und doubtless could be had free if asked for by the board of trade. It is the duty of the present residents of the town to their own future and to those who will come after to get that land while the getting is good. In a few months the land will be thrown open to hoinestending. The useless laud in the gorge will become part of the hoinesteuds that will be filed on. Th* n unless human nature changes there ia a fair chance that we should be held up for a big price. The value of such a park should not be underestimated. It would not be good for games, or race tracks, or anything of thnt kind. But when we get ready for it trails could be built ulong even the most iu. accessible places, and the more inaccessible the better. If Chase aBpires to Bhine as a summer resort it is iimi.peu.ible that as many attractions as possible be provided for the. eutertainmeii t of visitors. Nor should the needB of the resident population be lost sight of. Few towns have such a natural beauty sjjoj* available for the purposes of quiet jleapuB^nrOSmmer tifterhoon as the gorge would be if il had trails along the sides of the hills and bluffs, It will be a cause for regret and shame if we neglect to nail Bitch of it ns is yet public property. MREBTI WM "FAIL TI MM." When a school pupii fails to paaa his examinations, or drops behind in the routine work of his studiea, it is on him that his parents and his teachers place the blame. To him it belongs in most oases, but not in all, and perhaps in any case not allot it. His parents, too, have a responsibility, and it is often they who have "failed to pass," rather than the boy. A teacher telephoned to the mother of one of her pupils to suggest that he wns not putting time enough on his lessons. "\Vhy," snid the mother, "I expect you to attend to that." "Madam." the teacher answered, "Johnnie is only one of my pupils, but he is all the son yon have." The school provides opportunities for learning; the parent mnst see thnt the child uses them. Do you point out to your boy the personal and the business value of an education? Do you help him to select the courses that will bo most useful to him? Do you Bee thnt he has a definite time for study, and that during that time be is not interrupted? Do you provide a quiet place for him to study in, or mnst he prepare his lesBons in the midst of all the distractions of a family evening? When he has a hard problem to solve, do yon work it ont for him, or do you give him the judicious help that will enable him to work it out himself. Do you make him take daily exercise in the open air? Do you see that he has nine hours pf sleep every night, so that he can go to school fresh nnd alert? Do yon insist that he eat a good breakfast? Do you try to prtvent him from scattering his mental and physical energies by going to theaters, dances, picture shows and club meeting, or loafing abont the street corners during the week? Do you know your child.s teachers, and do you ever go to sohool to talk over with them his pro- gresB, and to find out what his difficulties are? If you will answer these questions honestly, you will know whether it is yonr child who has "failed to pass," or yon.���Tooth's Companion.

MISS BOND TRAINED,NURSE Medical, Surgical and Maternity. CHASt, ��� B.C. LIKE THE NATIVE GRANITE. Last week witnessed the passing of another of the men who blazed the trails of civilization for us who have followed them into this new land. The large gathering that assembled in spite of a heavy Bnowfall to do honor to the memory of Donald Grant McPherson shows the respect that is felt for those who went through the unavoidable hardships which attend the noble calling of the pioneer. As we looked at tht face in the casket and read the lines of strength that still marked the features at the end of n journey of eighty-six years, we could not.help but feel that while he had done much to change the face of the wilderness, the wilderness had also done much for him. The fact that the deceased was a stone mason by trade recalls at least two other stone masons who came from the east coast of Scotland. One is the Honorable Alexander MacKenzie, who was premier of Canada from 1874 to 1878. The other is Hugh Miller, who began in the stone quarries of his native laud the studies that made him the greatest geologist of his day. He was also one of tbe masters of Eug-* lish prose, author of "The Old Red Sandstone" aud "Testimony of the Rocks." Those Scottish stone masons seem to absorb some of the qualities of their native granite. Not only the residents of Chase but thoBe of the outlying districts as well will be glad to hear of the prospect for a shingle mill being established. It will not be a big industry as regards the number of hands employed or the capital invested, yet it will add its share to the business of the town. One of its best contributions to local needB will be the market it will make fur shingle bolts and the opportunity it will give the homesteader to turn his timber that was formerly almost useless into good hard wish. There is one kind of federal interference with provincial rights that will never be resented. That is the interference with our right to pay for our own ronds. The grunt to the provinces for the construction of highways that is included in the estimates for this year amounts for this province to a little more thau fifty thousand dollars. That won't go very far iu building roads in British Columbia but it will help some. SU ino.es of snow, elegant sleighing, and a temperature running from twenty-five to thirty degrees; all that is ueeded to make happiness complete ia a pair of horses and a cutter.

Sheldon could imt conceal tha shock her words gave him. "You don't mean that, yoo know," he pleaded "1 do; I really do. I am alck and tired of thla protection dodge. Don't forget for a moment that I am perfectly able to take care of myself. Besides, 1 bave eight of tbe best protectors ln tbe world���my aallora.

And in the one breatb he was glad tbat the partnership bad been effected and sorry tbat Joan Lackland had ever come to tbe Solomons. Then be went Inside and looked at himself In a band mirror. He studied the reflection long and thoughtfully and wonderingly. (continued). Those Old Songs. I cannot sing the old songs. Like "Sally in Our Alley;" I dreamed I dwelt in Marble halls; I'm dreaming now of Hallie. By the blue Alsatian mountains I'd lay me doon and dee; Jennie, my own true loved one, Then you'll remember me. Could you come back to me, Douglas, Douglas, Nevermore would I care to roam; I don't want to play in your yard; I was seeing Nellie home. When first I saw sweet Pepgy, When the lights were dim and low, Oh, laddie was somebody's darling; No, sir! No, sir! No! After the ball iB over Deep sorrow fills my cup. Oh, I can.t sing the old songs��� I get them all mixed np!���Life. arms were full. "You may always be found here." I continued impertinently, "and always staggering under a load of books. Here are poetry, biography, history, essays, a problem novel, and I'll wager that in two days you'll return for a fresh supply. You certainly can't read everything you carry home. Do you take them just to gloat over and to turn t.-ii pages?" She laughed, but was instantly serious again as she turned a loving wistful i took on the noble building. "There would be satisfaction in simply handling them, " she answered, "Think of having any book worth reading just for the asking. Until two years ago 1 could put my whole library on a four foot shelf." "Yet one seldom meets a better read woman than you." "That is true,' she replied, with houest simplicity, "There are the distinctly literary women, of course, who must be great renders, but I never meet them except in the pages of magazines. It is a wonder to me' that the average city woman, with her opportunities, doesn't read more, Mrs. Hill went with me to see Sothern in Hamlet and I really believe . the story was new to her. She thought Komeo and Desdemona had been married in tne friar's cell and she was almost tearful when she talked of Othello smothering Juliet with a pillow.'' "You surely can spare me half'an hour," I said, "let us sit in the park while you tell me about your reading." "I can't remember learning to read," she answered. "The bookshelves of my chidhood were filled with religion bound in leather. My first book was the New Testament and the next was Pilgrim's Progress. This latter I proceeded to dramatize and stage right in my home. The farm was the City of Destruction and my twin brother and I fled from it for our lives. But we got into the Slough of Despond in earnest, for it rained, and we returned to the City of Destruction to get whipped for running away. "When I could reach it,by standing on a chair the top shelf yeilded Cowper's poems and Milton's Paradise Lost. That was a red letter day for my brother and me for it opened to us the world of poetry. With our childish experiences .we could comprehend little ol the sense, but the wonder of it that words could sound and roll like that! "About this time a neighbor loaned us Ivanhoe and the woodpile became the scene of many a tournament, I resented being asked to play the part ol Rebecca or Rowena, .just because I was a girl, but always wanted to be the merry DeBracy. Mounted on the biggest logs for warhorses, we charged each other in full career, and the unhorsed champion often wept ingloriously as with scratched nose and torn banner he rose from the chip-yard. "At the age of twelve I became the possessor of seventy-five cents and ob- tainedmy parents' permission to spend it in books. My selections were paper bound copies of Mrs. Hemans and Shakespere. Don't laugh; I had become acquainted with the tender Felicia through herpoem in the fourth reader, and I still love the dear boy who stood on the burning deck. But Shakespere! My tasks were quickly despatched that I might return to his magic world. I read the book from cover to cover, skipping the long speeches. I don't claim for myself any literary appreciation; I loved the book because it took we into a wonderful realm of story. Another realm than that of books, but nearly related to it, was opened to me in my boarding school days. It was the realm of pictures. You have seen my note book illustrated with Perry prints. But I had to learn to love pictures; they belonged to a territory that I deliberately invaded and took by force, while the world of books seemed mine by inheritance. I am always at home there." Bidding me good-bye she walked away with that large, free grace of step acquired in upland meadows. JUSTITIA. Will Build Bigger. Another place of business will be added to those on Shuswap Avenue. On Monday J. Wittner purchased from Percy Weaver the lot adjoining on the east that occupied by W. P. Barnes's carpenter shop. It is his intention to put up on it a two story building with basement. In it he will carry on on a large scale the business which he recently purchased from John Clegg. Mr. Wittner has found that there is an opening here for a much larger shoe and harness business than has been carried on and intends to make room for the expansion. In the new building he will carry on a complete harness and saddlery business and have the best equipment for repairing. It is understood that Mr. Barnes will have the contract for the work.

Chase is situated at the outlet of a system of lakes that tap a country rich in raw material. There is cedar, fir, pine and spruce timber running into billions of feet. There are limestone and marble, copper, zinc and gold in quantities that are just beginning to be discovered, and appreciated. There is the farm land to feed with vegetables and fruit a large manufacturing population. . The vast wheatfields of the northwest provinces supply the breadstuffs, at the same time that they furnish one of the best markets in the world for manufactured products. tt \li tt The twentieth century motor power, electricity can nowhere be developed more economically than from the streams that abound near Chase. tt tt tt For information regarding opportunities and avail able sites communicate with the Secretary of the Board of Trade. \, i i V \ \y\ ^S EIGHT THK CHASE TniniMT From Our Neighbours Items Gathered by Our Special Correspondents Pritchard.

Off again, On again. Mayor J. L. Ruttan, Miss M. Rut tan and son Percy, returned from Fort Fraser late Monday evening. The trip was made by auto. The roads, newly built by the government in the vicinity of Fort Fraser and Fort George, were in very bail condition. It wus while on the way from Fort Fraser to Fort George that Mr. Ruttan had the misfortune to lose a wheel off the csr by the machine dropping on one side into a mud hole while the wheels on the upper side were wedded tightly in a deep rut. Hie experience of the party lifter this uccident waa one that will not be soon forgotten. Miss Ruttan and brother liruvely camped two days by the roadside, while Mr. Ruttan wont to tho nearest telegraph office, several miles uway, to wire for repairs and get ii vehicle to Ret them out. The roads were deep in mud real mud��� mud that clings, hiuigH, holds fust and won't come off. He spent !i>3fi in one day wiring to get traHt of the repair part after it had been shipped, and when lie finally found it, it proved to be the wrong part, and he took the wheel off of his other machine, left at Fort Fraser and drove home. There are difficulties ami hardsips to he met in that far-away country yet, and this will give an idea of some of them. --Enderby Press Notch Hill. Bufns Hammond ie busy bulling coal for J.

Sob of fall and song of forest, come you here on haunting quest, Calling through the seas and silence from God's country of the west. Where the mountain oass is narrow, and the torrent white and strong, Down its rocky-throated canon, sings its golden-throated song. You are singing there together through the God-begotten nights, And the leaning stars art. listening above the distant heights That lift like points of opal in the crescent coronet Above whose golden setting sweeps the trail to I.illooel. Trail that winds anil trail that wanders like u cobweb hanging high, Just a hazy thread outlining midway of the stream and sky, Where the Fraser Rivet canon yawns its pathway to the sea, Hut half the world has shouldered up between its song and me- Here the placid English August, and the sea-encircled miles, There���God's copper-colored sunshine beating through the lonely aisles. Where the waU fall and forest voice forever their duet, And call across the canon on the trail to Lillooet. ELECTJimCERS Enthusiastic Annual Meeting of Kamloops Conservative Association. The annual meeting of the Kamloops Central Conservative Association last night was well attended by an enthusiast gathering of party supporters. Dr. Archibald as president occupied the chair and in a lengthy address gave an interesting report of the work done during the past year as well as an account of his own stewardship. The association had progressed in every way and a great deal of valuable work had been accomplished. The principal business transacted was the election of officers which resulted as follows: Hon. Presidents, Rt, Hon. R. L. Borden, The Hon. Sir Richard McBride, The Hon. Martin Burrell and J. P. Shaw, M. P. P. President, J. R. Michell; 1st vice, S. C. Burtou; 2nd vice, M. Crawford; 3rd vice, E'. Shaw; Treas., S. C. Burton; Sec. Major H. T. Wilson; Auditor, F. E. Young. A large number of names were proposed for the twenty members of the executive and ballottinfe will take place on Monday, December, 16. On the retirement of the president Dr. Archibald, and in the absence of the president, S. C. Burton, 1st vice took the chair. Excellent addresses were then given by Mayor Robinson and Mr. J. P. Shaw M. P. P. Among the general business, it was decided that any outside district calling a conservative meeting and appointing a chairman, the same would be recognized as an ex-officio member of the executive and entitled to be presentfat its sessions. ��� . w Sweet SarAa Claus. Last week a letter written in Alabama, and"' addressed to Santa' Claus, Greenland, B. C, was sent to Greenwood, although this city just now is Jike the sunny south, more than the ice- touched scenery of far-off Greenland. The postmaster who is somewhat of a humorist, gave the letter to us, although we do not resemble Santa in any particular, He throws his wealth down chimneys, while we have ours stolen by the farmers when we are asleep. He has four deer to draw him around in a fine sleigh, while we have not even a a bull dog left. And, our dear, why they are all pushing clouds with the angels. Santa has ice in his whiskers, whily we never have anything stronger than maple syrup, or an irate and partially demented subscriber. He studies astronomy through an inverted bottle, while half of our time is devoted to nailing cushions on water wagons, Santa Claus is a myth, a delusion of youth, and lives upon spooks and air. We too, live largely upon air, but we are no delusion when there are any ham and eggs in camp. However this is what the little tot away down in Alabama says in her touching letter: "Dear Santa Claus.���I want you to bring me a doll with long curly hair, or a picture of you. Santa Claus, you are the sweetest man in the world, and 1 want a little chair, and a box of perfume. I wish you could live with me, for I know you are pretty and sweet. If it is not too much for you to bring me, don't bring about half of it, from Margeurite Daniel to sweet Santa Claus, I will write you another letter." And would you believe it, Patricia, we were once just as innocent as that dear little girl in the sunny south. There was a time when we prayed to God to keep Santa from breaking his neck until he reached our house. Then we also prayed direct to Santa Claus and Hold him what to bring us, and how many pair of socks we had with holes on one end. We also made doubly sure of results by attending three Sunday schools, for a short time before Christmas. Somehow or other all the years since then we have been under impression that Santa Cluuswas a mad Scotchman, and that his real name was Sandy Claws.���Greenwood Ledge. A. St, Catharines wife-beater's plea, when brought before the police magistrate, that he beat his wife because of his great love for her, will not avail in this part of the world. 1'ut it is a strange fact that in some parts of Russia wife-heating is regarded as evidence of conjugal affection, and wives sometimes complain that their husbands have left off whipping them, believing that when their husbands spare the lash that is evidence that they have transferred their affections. There is a great work for militantsuffragettesinRusBia.���Ex. While a hoy at school in England, a certain Japanese wrote in his diary: "If one says he could not succeed his ambition because he has not money enough, 1 would call him a slave of money. If one says he could not because he is not strong enough, I would call him a slave of his body; and if one cays he could not becauae his relatives or friends would not let him do so, I would call him a slave of his neighbors. By no means could I be a slave of any of them!" The English may be dubious, but the sentiment shines with a beauty that would dignify any language.��� Youth's Companion. Authorized by wealthy associates in England to increase the investments [held by them in British Columbia to the | amount of $1,000,000. Mr. R, Mason, a financial man from London, England, has arrived in B. C. and is now at Van' couver. At his own expense Mr. Mason will shortly erect a hotel in Okanagan j Valley for the British Women's Immigration Society. The hostelry is to be built at Penticton and will be utilized as a distributing point for young wo- ,men domestics sent out by the parent society in Great Britain.���Summerland Review.
