On and after the first day of June next, there will be but one newspaper published in Duncan, The Cowichan Leader. We were approached several weeks ago by the editor and proprietor of that excellent weekly paper regarding the possibility of forming an amalgamation of "The Echo" and "The Leader" and the editor of this paper being a mercenary man, willing to sell anything which he possesses, excepting his good name, if the price is right, was willing to enter into negotiations with the editor of our esteemed contemporary with the result that a partnership has been entered into between Harry Smith, editor of the Leader and yours truly, Ormond T. Smithe, editor of the Echo, who will assume the management of The Cowichan Leader on the first of the coming month and the Echo will appear no more. Our Echo subscribers will be thoroughly protected. All subscriptions to The Echo will be carried out by The Leader; for instance, if a man's subscription to The Echo expires nine months hence, he will receive The Leader instead for that length of time; should he already be a subscriber to The Leader, his subscription will be extended for nine months The Leader, under its new management will be a greatly improved newspaper. It will be immediately enlarged from a five column to a six column newspaper and new features will be incorporated and ideas carried out that will make our paper the brightest, newsiest and best weekly news dispenser in the province. Like the Greenwood Ledge, our circulation will, for the present, at any rate, be limited to one million, so that any who are not at present on The Leader's subscription list "ill see the advisability of allowing the proprietors of The Leader to become familiar with your collateral before it is too late. We do not bid adieu to our readers as the product of our upper stope will still be dished out to a hungering public through the columns of The Leader, but we do wish to thank our subscribers and advertisers for the liberal support and patronage they have accorded us, while we have been associated with Mr. Herd in the publishing of The Echo, and we trust that the same handsome support will be accorded us when 'we are associated in pub- The Cowichan Lake railway negotiations have been entered into between the C. P. It. and several of the lumber companies that are working timber limits at Cowichan Lake, which, if carried to a successful conclusion will insure the construction of the proposed Cowichan Lake branch of the E. & N. line at an early date. The railway company is prepared to build the road as soon as they are assured that the lumber companies mentioned will patronize the line for the haulage of their logs to salt water. The railway officials claim that it would be cheaper to ship the logs by rail than to float them down the river as is done at present. We are not prepared to say whether this is correct or not, but it is quite evident that the present method of driving the logs down the river is in many ways unsatisfactory. The floating of logs is attended with great loss in connection with the fish life, and the spawning beds are interfeared with and the supply of fish materially diminished. This season's drive has proved a particularly uufavorable one and the river drivers are still at work and the donkey engine still operated at a considerable cost per day in an endeavor to get last season's timber cut down to the sea. It certainly looks as though the time was ripe for some more modern method of transporting the logs from the lake to the coast to be inaugurated. Mill Bay Road Work is proceeding on the new wagon road from Goldstream to Mill Bay, for which a partial appropriation of $20,000 was made at the last session of ihe legislature, says the Victoria Colonist* Dennis Harris, P. L. S., made a preliminary survey of the proposed road last autumn, which was followed by a report. Mr. Harris is now out on the work with a party of surveyors, making the final location and calculations necessary for detailed estimates. His party is at present working from this end of the road, but they expect to move camp to Mill Bay this week and complete the work from the other end. The amount appropriated will not be enough to anything like finish the road, the cost of which has been estimated all the way from t75,0OO to £100,000, but it will make quite a showing, and may suffice for clearing the right of way. The Mill Bay road, when completed, will be of the greatest possible benefit, both to Victorians and to the inhabitants of the section through which it passes. It will do away with the necessity of making the big climb over the summit at Sooke, and will provide a good road all the way to Alberni. It will also open up a new farming district R. B.

Harris, was examined late last fall by a party of Victorians, who had interested themselves in the project. They expressed themselves as highly delighted with the new road. It is said to combine an easy grade, with unusual scenic attractions, winding as it does in and out among the blugs overhanging Saanich Inlet. This part of the road is but comparatively few miles from the city, and will be a great source for those fond of driving and motoring, quite apart from the benefit which will be derived by the farmers.
