"THE LITTLE MINISTER" A Delightfully Refreshing Comedy Drama That Revelstoke is up-to-date in the matter of dramatic productions is evidenced by the fact tbat "The Little Minister," which will be seen at the opera house tomorrow nigbt, has recently had a very successful run in Vancouver, and is one ol tbe stellar attractions tbis week in Winnipeg during tbe tig annual bonspiel. Clean, wholesome, and lull of heart throbs, J, M. Barrte's refreshing comedy drama 'The Little Minister" is a play which appeals to all. There is no mystifying plot to burden or weary, but an easily grasped snd fascinating love story which is charmingly unfolded, snd will prove one of ;he most delightful performances it has been the privilege of the Revelstoke publio to enjoy for many a lung day.

TELEPHONE SERVICE Great Factor in the Progress of Revelstoke Business As an evidence of tbe growth of the business interests of Revelstoke and of the large amount of work really carried un both in the city and surrounding districts, tbe monthly statistics ol the Revelstoke, Trout Lake and Big Bend Telephone Company need no comment. The telephone is practically an artery of commerce, aod Its value as such oannot be over estimated. Tbe local telephone com piny has been, perpaps, the chief factor in tbe increase ol the volume oi Revelstoke's business, and has been.largely instrumental iu giving the city the great impetus iu the bid lor the trallic ol the interior. While people are apt to think little of a telephone, except as a public convenience, yet on the other baud its value cannot bo too highly considered. Those who arc on the service will readily agree that the telephone is a necessity, and for the really reasonable cost to individuals lor installation, lent, etc., it is surprising that more du not take advantage of the benefit. Tbo local company has been enterprising in its long distance lines, as well as up-to-date fixtures throughout the city, und the fact that an uninterrupted service is maintained during all weathers, is by no means an insignificant one. Mr Cowan, the president, has given us the following statistics for 1908: Number of calls, 255,8112; largest number of calls in one day, 1,032; largest number of calls in one hour, 107.

We would suggest tbat tbe provincial government appoint one or moro game wardens who would have this duty to attend to. At present tbe provincial constable is the only game warden we bave, and while he is not engaged in his regular work he oan give bis time to the care ol the game conservation, but he cannot do as much as il wardens were appointed especially lor that purpose. We trust tbat tbis matter will bo taken up at once and arrangements made lor this season's work, and that appointments can he made so that Revelstoke's game may be tlie pride ot the interior.

The report is fat too long for reproduction in a newspaper,but it will i pay reading by oil sportsmen interested iu tbe game resources of British Columbia and their preservation. The special grant of $10,1)110 made last year for tho lirst time by tbe legislature has bean but little drawn upon, as the revenue from licenses ninl su forth conies to within some $200 of that amount. At the suine time ihe revenue thus assured has permitted the engaging of game wardens who have dune good work. Atl- ditiniiil game wardens are recommended, and it. is pointed out thut in addition to their ordinary duties tiny are frequently able to lend valuable assistance to tlie provincial police. In the Easl Kootenay reserve the game is increasing and it is suggested that tho reserve I e made a permanent national park. Tlie importation of European red deer and ohaurois is suggested, and it is pointed out that the former have been most successively acclimated in New Zealand. .Moose are increasing and spreading further south, as are also cariboo. A plea is entered fnr the grizzly bear, said to be nearing extermination in some sections. He is said to be really very timid, aud it is suggested that it be prohibited to trap him. The beaver havo increased enormously in Southern British Columbia, and in sume parts ol Kootenay, Okanogan, Similkaineen and Kamloops sulliciently to be a nuisance to fruit growers. Permission lo kill them under restrictions is suggested. ■ ■ ■ . ; 1 :, i ' ' uight. at least tntil thi child i i ■. ■ I .... mini!

ALL ORDERS PROMPTLY DELIVERED AMATEUR THESPIANS A Local Institution of Which Revelstoke is Justly Proud Not the least important of the many iiistitutinns which thrive in Kevelstoke in the Amateur Dramatic Club, now in the tilth year|ol its existence. The production by a number of local artists of the well known Irish drama, "The Colleen Bawn." was the initial step in the formation of the club, and on the Is' of June, 1004, one week after the presentation of tbe above drama, the Revelstoke Amateur Dramatic Club was organized, with the "Colleen Rawn" caste, as the original members. Since that time the career ol tbe club bas been quiet and unassuming, the plaudits wbicli bave crowned their many efforts being received with he coming in desty. Fortunate indeed was it fnr the dob, tint tbry bad, during the lirst two years of their existence, the assistance of Mr. T. 11. Dunne, under whose careful training and guidance as stage manager, tbey made rapid progress, and to whose efforts the success which ban attended the club is in n great, measure responsible. Much credit is nls.i due to Mrs. Dunne, who was a faithful and untiring worker iu tbe club up to the time n[ tbeir removal frum tlie city in the Bpring of lilOli. Comparatively short as bas been tbo career of tbe Dramatic Club, the members thereof are deserving of hearty congratulations at tbe bands of the citizens for the many pleasing entertainments tbey have given. Among playB which bave been produced by the club are thdfollowing: "DickTurpin," "Slasher and Crasher,'' "Ticket ol Leave Man," "The Lady of Lyons." "-6100,000," "Dandy Dick," "Meg's Diver-ii n," "Colleen Dawn,'' "Chiselling." "Caste," "Jane," "Pink l)i- uie'iy "Isne as presooted by Amateur Dramatic Club. I ... -ii tugbraun.
