would bo cunvcnienl, but not until

fedod audi excellent results. Ho do-

Tho work in whicli thoy bad joined
wus more than provincial mid hud
brought ad urns of whicli uny country might well be proud. Ureal
growth, development und industrial
progress were evident upon every

businesslike busis. Sometimes il
might bo felt that more might lw uc-
cotnpliilied l In.i was actually llie
case but tho fuel would be recognized Hull proper patience might to lw
exorcised, due satisfaction would be
felt for the advancement made and the
foundationa should he well looked nl-
Icr, that they were strongly laid and
deep. All were prone, perhapi, to
wish lo outrival up-lo-dato developments, but care should lw exorcised,
mil to overdo things, bul rather lo
wait patiently that lire results, when
attained, might lie complete in every
way. Because thc government was
conscious of iti responsibility it
preferred to move along cautiously
while proceeding expeditiously.

Tbt Drat began in ISM. Tba Uro

wboro it reached tome old law-log

named Salvoil, Continuing oait
along the ahore it reached the mouth
of tho Serpent, whore it doitroyed a
local mill owned by I.auzon. Ben it
mot froih fuel in tbo old cutting! and
continued eatt to tbe Sponitb and up
that itream (or many miles, almost

In thii instance the visit wui under
different auspices from that of two
years ago, inasmuch us on tbo former
ocoasion he wui tlie guest of tbe municipality at large, while on Tuesday
ol this week bo was the guest of honor at a ">iii|iIiid. ui,11 >. banquet given
by tho local Conservative Association
thereby according the oHiiant
an opportunity to become, acquainted with the premier in
another us|xict of his versatile per-
aonality. Two years ago ho showed
himself perfectly al homo in moving
amongst tlie cituens us the in.u citizen of his native province and ono
having deeply ut heart the potentialities, Ihe development and the welfare
of lititt.ii Columbia from (be standpoint of intelligent and loyul citizen-
ship, irrespective ol cluas, sect, party
or any other artificial claudication.
On Tuesday evening he wua unmiatake-
nbly the mun of alfuira, nut merely
the periouilicatiun of thoughtful, enlightened citueuihip viewing in u general way aud on broad principle! the
intorciti of thu province, but thu true
type oi militunt, aggix-asivo citiien-
ihip addressing himself with vigor to
discovering uud properly appreciating
the vast reiourcei uud poasiuilitiei ol
the propiuco whose progress he directs
unflinchingly confronting its difficulties, facing its issues, attacking ils
problems uml confidently ihuping iti
destiny. He wus u leader ol men with
a message to his iellows, with u plan
to submit, with u policy to outline,
wilh a record to defend, with un ml
,1111111.11 tit mn to champion and woll
and ably did lie respond lo every requirement of the situation,
Thc strong und compreheueivo speech
with which Premier Mcllride luvorod

load "llnil h Columbia" wua roiii-
priaod by u well orderud aucccsiion ul

Ihe eiiliie uddrou there wui never lor
sn initsnca tin slightest .uipicion ol
hesitancy. The ippakar wua not on-
daavoriug lo frunio a diplomat 1. da
liveiaa.e which H piii..1 ut every turn
tbat ho should tread circuinipcclly and
choose hi. termi with delicate precii-

ol deaths directly traceable to worry

aiciana know that these are by no
menus small. One constunt source of
worry and anxiety lor Ibe wage-earner

Tba fisherman shifted but quid of

Inarticulately and awung deliberately

Tbe Amerlcsn nodded. "Very well,"

The fisherman turned swsy to sbsm-

In the background Uie cabby loitered, gnawed by Insatiable curiosity.

had never lost sight ol ths trust reposal in thorn by the people.
The timber commissioners' report
was now in the hands of th. government and waa a splendid report. The

In the department of agriculture ei-
cellent work was being done for the

itioiiB which had been made. Splendid results were being attained in
growing fruits, roots and cereals. British Columbia fruit hail captured Iii..t

of thu world.
The public work, department bad
built up a splendid system of roads
which would be a credit, under similar cundiliniiB, to any Country in f-'.ur

had proven a molt excellent departure by increasing thc local interest

Surveyors Salter, Gilmour and Sin

baseline Irom Hicbipicoten to the Montreal river, describe vast arena ol
burned-over territory, and from the
trunks of trees then standing tbey
were able to state tbat the country ut

pine. I can do nothing better thou
quote Salter*a own words I 'Almost
the whole ol this district appears* lo
have been devastated by Urea at different times and at periods more or
less remote, whicli awopt awuy the
original forest, somo remains of which
are still to be aceu in the shape of

charred by tho fire. The country to

Judging from remains at ill funding
it was formerly covered with pine and
