THEY'RE COMING TO CHASE \
Vol. 1. _STo. 33.

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. 'Instruments

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.

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 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. A jteeatly printed 4 or 6-page
folder, showing the different articles in stock which
would be suitable for Xmas presents and general
use, will be very effective if the matter is neatly
and logically arranged. In the distribution of these
folders the better method would be to mail one
to each customer, both regular and transient. It
would be appreciated, and the suggestions contained therein would surely fall on fruitful ground.

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.

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

business of the town, One of its best contributions to local needB will
be the market it will make fur shingle holts and the opportunity it
will give the homesteader to turn his timber that was formerly almost
useless into good hard cash.
Tbere is one kind of federul interference with provincial rights

amounts for this province to a little more than fifty thousand dollars

���food because it Is kwkI Iu be good | friend on the stepa of the Carnegie Hb-
rather tban becunae | mu t be bad be- j rary ,n this city. "Let me carry some
of those books for yuu," I said, for her
cause aome Argus eyed old trump
Won't Jet me have a chance to be bad."
"But It- it is not tbat. be put lo. "It
Ii what others win think "
"Let them think, the nasty minded
wretches: It Is lifvauae im-n like you
are afraid ot the nasty mindpd tbnt
you allow their opmloua ro nil. you."
"1 am afraid you ure u female Shelley," he replied "And aa sucii you
really drive me lo become your partner In order to protect you "
"If you infce tue aa a partner in
order to protect me-l-l shan't be
your partner, Units all. You'll drive
me Into buying Mn-rt Sulay yet."
"All tbe more reason"- be attempt
tcL
"Do you know wbat I'll do?'
demanded. "111 uud some man In tba
Bolomoua who won't want to protect
me."
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. Tou
were living like a aavage wben 1
came along and found you���eating
nothing but tinned meat and scones
that would bave ruined the digestion
of a camel. Anyway, I've remedied
that, and since we are to be partners.
It will stay remedied, Tou won't die
of malnutrition, be sure of that"
"If we enter tuto partnership," he
announced. It must he thoroughly
understood that you are not allowed
to run the schooner. You can go
down to Sydney and buy ber. but a

"At so much additional expense and
most likely a whiskey drinking. Irre
sponsible and lnnipahle man to boot.
Besides, I'd nave hip business more at

As for capability. 1 tell you I ''an soil
all around the average broken captain
or promoted able seaman you find In
tbe south seas. And yon know I am
a navigator"
"But being my partner,*' he said
coolly, "makes you none tbe teas a
lady."
"Thank you for telling me that my
contemplated conduct is unladylike."
Sbe arose, tears of anger and mortification In her eyes, and went over to
the phonograph.
"1 wonder If all men are aa rldicul
ous as you?" Rjje *ald.
Be shrugged his shoulders and
ainlled. Discussion wns useless���be had
learned that: and he was resolved to
keep his temper. And before tbe day
was out sbe capitulated. She was to
go to Sydney ou the Qrst steamer, purchase the schooner, and sail back with
an Island skipper on hoard. And then
sbe Inveigled Sheldon Into agreeing
tbat she could take occasional cruises
ln tbe islands, though be was adamant
when It came to a recruiting trip on
Malalta. Tbat was ibe one thing
barred.
And after It was al) over, and a terse
and burjlnessllke agreement (by her
urging) drawn up and signed, Sheldon
paced up and down for a full hour,
meditating upon how many different
kinds of a foot he had made of bimself
Be bad never seen a more independent
woman who stood more ln need of a
protector than this boy minded girl wbo
had landed on bis beach with eight
picturesque savages, a long barreled
revolver, a bag of gold and a gaudy
merchandise of Imagined romance and
adventure.
Be bad never read of anything to
compare with It Be smoked cigarette
after cigarette. Satan, back from a
prowl around tbe compound, ran up to
him and touched his band with a cold,
damp nose. Sheldon caressed tbe animal's ears, then tbrew himself Into a
chair and laughed heartily. What
would tbe commissioner of the Solomons think? What would bis people
at homo think? 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 has all the advantages that go to the
making of a great manufacturing centre.
tt UJ tt
First of all there is it's location.
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.

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

The Trail To Lillooet.
(From "Flint and Feathers," by E.
Pauline Johnson.)
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.

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.���
