CACHE IN NOVEMBER
(Prince Rupert Optimist.)
From his office down there by the
waterfront where the engine bells are
beginning now to clang over the level crossing with the inspiring prophecy of coming traffic, General Superintendent Mehan, of the G. T. P.
at Prince Rupert, has been taking a
long look. What he saw is interesting.   To  begin  with  he noticed   thc
rapid progress Prince Rupert in making in her upbuilding. New and substantial dwellings and business premises everywhere have .met his eye.
He has looked further. Prince Rupert's expansion with tho coming
spring he could not well miss. Not
focussing his gaze merely locally,
however, Mr. Mehan has glanced
across the continent. To follow that
glance means something to the citizen of Prince Rupert.
Right up almost to Kitselas the
thread of steel now extends. Beyond
is Hazelton rich with promise and
part performance of big mining prosperity. And there ire fat farm lands
between, fertile v_:leyn well sunned,
well watered. With the coming of
spring to Mr. Meh n's farseeing eye
has come the picture of busy trains,
one, two, it. might be even three or
four a day running this very spring
crowded with passengers and laden
with goods and material for the extension of the line and the development of the intern-.".
"There can be no doubt," says the
superintendent, "that this -pring is
to see a tremendous rush for the development of the mining and agricul
tural interests of the interior country about Hazelton. Trains we shall
certainly run, as many as may be
needed to expedite the advance of
settlers into these districts. I expect
a great deal from the mining development of the Hazelton neighborhood, and the farming development
of the Lakelse and other agricultural valleys which the line now completed has already touched.
"lt has been our experience in the
progress of the Grand Trunk line
from the eastwards," continued Mr.
Mohan, "to find that as fast as the
steel is laid wo have to get trains
running over the line to accommodate the i.ipouring tide of settlers
with their goods and gear for home-
building, their machinery and agricultural imp'ements. This experience
I have no doubt will be repeated at
this end of the rails, and it keeps on
steadily witb the advance of the
steel westwards.
"By the time the steel is linked up
there will be many and many a fully
developed and productive farm earning well with its wheat and produce
output along the line of the Grand
Trunk Pacific.   Development does not
wait for the line to link up. It follows hard on the heels of the steel.
Thc settler does not wait for a hundred miles of rails to be laid before
he goes out to locate his farm. He
does not wait for fifty, thirty, or
even only twenty miles of steel to go
down. He is there with his goods
wanting transportation facilities
with every five or ten mileB of completed railroad. The driving of the
last spike on thc G. T. P. will find a
belt of well advanced development In
all branches of productive labor
across the Dominion."
"And when, Mr. Mehan, do you expect the last spike to be driven?"
asked the newspaper man.
"For that," replied thc superintendent, "I am inclined to go by what
Mr. Chamberlin has said after having been over the route several times
aud seeing the actual progress of the
work in all its stages. He has said
with confidence that the end of the
year 1913 will see the line linked up,
and I, knowing him, am as certain
as he is that the spring of 1914 will
see a well established train service
along the completed Grand Trunk
Transcontinental."

LYTTON INDIANS FOR THE
ANTIPODES
There is a mild excitement among
the Lytton Indians concerning the
projected trip of some of their numbers to Australia for exhibition purposes. The picturesquely clad throng
of broncho-busters, klootchmen basket-makers, papooses in native carrying baskets, that will embark from
Vancouver on thc 24th inst., in the
SS. Zealandia, touching at Honolulu
Fiji Islands and New Zealand, will
number amongst them parties from
Lytton district, along witb a genuine Indian princess from Lillooet,
decked out in feathers, beads and
skins, who are taking with them old-
time war implements, primitive
cooking utensils, and numerous relics from the days of savagery,
though blending modernism in the
shape of a brass band.
The company formed in Australia
with a capital of $25,000 for the
purpose of having a Canadian Indian
exhibit, has the approval of thc Dominion government. Most of tho
easily accessible tribes of the interior have, however, long ago dropped the customs of their ancestors
and forgot them.

UNCLE SAM GOTNG INTO THE
TIMBER BUSINESS.
To save the immense forests of
Alaska for the use of the people, the
United States government will go into the timber business, according to
a statement by W. A. Langille, supervisor of the Alaska national forests.
Langille predicted that the development of the northern territory's
timber resources, under government
supervision, would mean possibly
more to Alaska in a few years than
mining.
"Alaska contains approximately
65,000,000,000 of timber," said Langille, "and it belongs to the government. None of it is privately owned.
Most of thc forests are in the southeastern part of tho territory. It is
now the government's policy to go
into the timber business, ..applying
timber at reasonable rates for the
development of the country. Much
timber is being sold this I'ea", ur,t-
cipally to be used in cbnaecttin vith

SLIDES IN PANAMA CANAL.
Colon, Panama, March 1.—Plans
for the Panama canal may have to
be altered to a great extent as the
result of a big slide of earth and
rock which today is being attacked
at Culebra. Without warning, 500,-
000 cubic yards of rock and earth
slipped into tiie cut. After it is removed, it is believed that it will be
necessary to enlarge the prism of
the canal and to remove Gold Hill

the slides.
CANADA'S   NATIONAL   PARKS
NUMBER EIGHT
The Dominion government has set
aside eight national parks or playgrounds in the west. The oldest is
the famous one at Banff, where the
C. P. R. has maintained a hotel for
nearly 20 years. The others are the
Yoho and Glacier, in British Columbia, Jasper and Buffalo parks on the
line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, Elk
Island park on the main line of the
Canadian Northern east of Edmonton, Kootcnay Lakes Dark in Southern Alberta, and one, 30,000 square
miles in extent, in the Moose Mountain district of Saskatchewan.
Banff and Jasper parks are the largest. The newest one is the reservation, forty miles south of Pincher
Creek, in Southern Alberta. It
abounds in lakes and is 18 milea
long and 36 miles wide. This park
is continuous to the Glacier National
park, just across the international
boundary in Montana, lt is in the
heart of a great game country. A
large portion of it will be fenced in
and stocked with buffalo and other
large animals including elk and caribou. The animals, it is needless to
say, will be well protected.
This park is one of the i"ost beautiful reservation,: made by the government, embracing as it does a region of lakes, foothills and rugged
mountains. It is in a region oft the
main line of travel, but railway facilities are likely to be provided
within a few years. It attracted
over 500 campers last season.
Buffalo park, on the line of the
Grand Trunk Pacific, 150 miles east
of Edmonton, is the home of the herd
of buffalo imported by the Dominion
government from Montana several
years ago. The herd in the park
last year numbered 800, and the
number was increased last spring by
150 calves.
Eighty buffalos, bought by the government, still remain at liberty in
the Flathead valley of Montana. An
effort will be made in April to round
them up for shipment to Oanada.
Their home embraces 110,000 acres
which has all been fenced in, the circuit embracing 74 miles. It is also
the retreat of elk, caribou, moose
and antelope. Additions are constantly been made to the original
herds placed there and the birth rate
is also very satisfactory.
Feathered game, which are also
protected, abound in great numbers
within the park limits.
Elk Island park on tho line of the
Canadian Northern, east of Edmonton, is the home of 50 head of buffalo
It embraces 16 sections of land.
Jasper park, in the foothills of the
Rockies, on the line of the Grand
Trunk Pacific, promises to be a rival
of Banff, as it boasts of diversified
scenery and abounds in hot springs.
It embraces an area of 5400 square
miles, or 3,366,000 acres. It is also
on the route of the Canadian Northern.
The Grand Trunk Pacific has already intimated its intention of
erecting a large summer hotel in the
park in tho vicinity of one of the hot
springs. The hotel will be completed
in time for handling tourists before
the line reaches Prince Rupert. It is
expected to be a rival to Banff, and
will be fully exploited by the railway.

some 100 people indulged in the invigorating pastime to thc melodies

Fort George. The harp was distinctly heard for a distance of five miles
down the river.
The purchase of the assets of tbe
now defunct Fort George Lumber &
Navigation Co., by a representative
of the J. I). McArthur contracting
company, Winnipeg, is another indication that, there is likely to be active railway work initiated in the
district at no distant date. Tho J.
D. McArthur company are railroad
builders of prominence in the Dominion, and one of \jheir recent contracts embraced the construction of
the Transcontinental east from Win-
peg. The company's acquisition
here is, doubtless, for the purpose of
facilitating early railroad construction work without having to be put
to the inconvenience of building
river boats and erecting mills.
The selection of South Fort George
as a point from which operations are
to be conducted is further evidence
of the strategical importance of the
point on the Fraser river.
U. S. Secretary of Agriculture Nelson, speaking at Buffalo, N. Y.,

EDISON ON THE AGE OF
THE FUTURE.
Thomas A. Edison, in an interview,
makes some remarkable predictions
of new inventions that will be given
to the world before the end of the
present century.
He predicts the time is not far
distant when inventors will have
made possible the following:
Cloth, buttons, thread, tissue paper and pasteboard will be fed into
one end of a machine, and suits of
clothing, packed In boxes, will come
out of the other.
Steel will replace wood for making
furniture. The cost of steel furniture
is only one-fifth that of wood, and
steel furniture is very light, because
so little of the steel is required, lt
can be stained in perfect imitation
of any wood color.
Nickel will be used instead of paper for books. A sheet of nickel one
twenty-thousandth of an inch thick
is cheaper, tougher and more flexible
than an ordinary sheet of book paper.   It also   will   absorb printer's

A nickel book two inches thick southeast corner of Lot 1607;
taken up as homesteads and preemptions. The result is that the
last block of open prairie lands in
the west available for homestead entry and pre-emption has now been
practically taken up and future
homesteaders will have to resort to
the partially wooded lands of the
northern and outlying districts or
will have to purchase from the railway companies and other holders.
This is bound to mean a further increase in the value of the land.
Northern British Columbia is a
field untouched as yet. There are
millions of acres of good land that
can be made to yield more profit,
with less expenditure of effort than
any "wooded lands" the territories
possess. The entire stretch of country from Giscombe to Aldermere, following thc line of the G. T. P. railway will one day be the home of
thousands of contented families who
will find a ready market for everything a mixed farm can raise.
would contain 40,000 pages. It would
weigh only a pound and tbe cost of
tbe nickel pages would be 5c.
Huge farming implements driven
by electricity will replace the present agricultural tools. The future
farmer will be a soil chemist, a botanist and an economist. He will perform his present manual work at a
seat beside a push-button and some
levers.
The most interesting of Mr. Edi-
sonjs predictions is that the old
dream of the transmutation of metals is certain to come true sooner
or later, and a way will be found to
manufacture gold.
The probability that the way to
manufacture gold will be discovered
sooner or later causes Mr. Edison to
believe the present financial system
of the world will be changed. The
time is coming, he thinks, when nobody will accept gold in payment
for work, and no nation will issue
gold as money, because anyone will
be able to manufacture it.
