BUY UP POSTAL SERVICE Chicago Publisher Offers to Take Over State Functions as Private Business. W. D. Boyce, the Chicago publisher and a former resident ol Winnipeg, ol the firm of Steen & Boyce first publishers of the "Commercial", has submitted to the United States postal commission what he terms a proposition from financially responsible business men to take over and operate Ihe postal service as a private business under government control. Boyce declares that hs is backed by $50,000,- 000 capital and says "he and his associates" will perform all the services now rendered tlie public by the post olliee department, carrying out all treaty stipulations aud contracts, and pay all salaries and expense i necessary taking tlie entire receipts as full compensation. He promises the people these results: First—Reduction to the pul lie by one-half of all postage on first and second class matter, or a rate of one cent an ounce or fraction thereof on first-class and one-hall a cent a pound on secoad class matter, except country free for weeklies as heretofore. Second—The wiping out of the delicit annually occurring in the operation of the postal service as a governmental department. Third—To pay into the United States treasury all net profits occurring over seven per cent, interest on the capital invested. Whenever Congress shall indicate a illingness to entertain a proposition for a man to organize under national control and supervise, and furnish ample sureties for the faithful performance of the terms of an agreement, Boyce states that he is prepared to act. He says that he would require that Congress enact a law providing for the appointment ol a commission for control oi the postal service, similar in importance and power to that of tbe interstate commission now has in matters of transportation. COMPULSORY VOTING. Considerable comment has been made by many of the papers throughout Canada on the proposal to make voting at elections obligatory on every citizen entitled to vote says tbe Moos- omin Spectator. For refusing to vote the voter is to be fined or disfranchised for a term of yeais, To claim that compulsory voting will purge out political sins so common io parts of the country during election times is unwarranted optimism The purchasable voter looking for the man with the patty funds at his disposal will doubtless vote, but compulsion will not make him an honest man. The honest voter will be honest daring an election, the dishonest voter looking for a bribe will secure that bribe if it is possible to do so even at the risk ol lieing exposed. A higher standard of honesty and morality will do more to cure election evils than any compulsory voting scheme.

ANOTHER STEP THE IDEAL CHRISTMAS Snow and Ice conducive to Health and Create the Love of the Home. Christinas is perhaps the most universal and popular festival of any throughout the entire globe. Each nation embracing Christianity has its own particular method of keeping up this old time least, but one and all tend in the same direction, the main object kept uppermost in the hearts of all being that ol thanksgiving, peace and goodwill. Our cousins in Australia and India are, like ourselves, making their preparations for the approaching festival, but how differently their customs lead them. With then, the thermometer is standing at 115 degree! in the shade, all around is dust and parched grouud, not a breath of air stirring and above all tl.e tierce sun pouring down its relentless scorching rays pitilessly. Turn again to ourselves; what more ideal winter could possibly be found than one spent in British Columbia. Snow, ice and frost have somehow always been associated with Christmas, in story books and pictures, and it is only natural that we should learn to ove the snow aud frost. People living oulside ot Canada have little or no conception of the vast benefit the white mantle of snow i, to tliis country during the winter. The only impression they form of it is that it must lie very, very cold and a horrible nuisance. But what would Canadians do without the snow? It entails no physical discomfort, except to the poor, and even Ihen it seems to awaken kind impulses among those better oft', aud the poor and destitute are looked after as they never would be looked after but lor the knowledge that they must otherwise surely suffer. Happily we are all living in Revelstoke well supplied with this world's good things and the very snow and frost seem to suggest the corresponding warmth and cosey fires indoors. A Canadian Christmas enables the merchants to display their novelties suitable to the time, and we in Revelstoke have every reason to be proud ol our stores this year, ts the hundred and one things tastefully displayed there far surpass all those ol previous years. The snow lends itself to beautify the whole oity, the delicate tracery of trees and shrubs with their white pall having a prettier effect than even the work of human hands, This glittering counterpane it likewise the robe with which nature protects the growing crops which would be ruined by the frost, but for the snow. It sends the ruddy glow ol health to the cheeks ol the Canadian child and with its lister, the ice, is the means of affording healthful amusement for the young men and women who delight in sleighing or skating. In very contrast to the warmth ol the fireside it inculcates a love oi home and good cheer. The average Canadian is proud ol Canada's snow- in the winter time. TOWARD UNION Representatives of Different Religious Bodies in Conference—Divines are Confident of Success. Toronto, Dec. 14.—One hundred representatives nf the Methodist, Presbyterian and Oongregationalist church es ol the Dominion are assembled in the school ruom of tl.e Metropolitan Methodist church to continue consultations about the basis ot church union. Dr. Carmen p.esides. In view of the action taken by tbe general assembly ol the Presbyterian church at its last session in London, it was decided to appoint a committee, consisting of lour Methodists, lour Presbyterians and two Congregation- alists to conduct negotiations witii the Anglic.n and Baptist churches, regarding tlie possibility of tbe Baptists and Anglicans accepting an invitation to take part in the conferences. The Baptists wished the union movement God-speed, but did not say whether they would at present join in it. The responses of the Anglican bishops were cordial and hopeful, but as tl.e general synod of Ihe Clinch of England wilt not meet until 1909, no action could be taken by that church until then. These matters were lelt without discussion in tlie hands ol the sub-committee. Br. J. R, Inch, superintendent of education for New Brunswick, stated that the people of that province are mostly in favor of union. He is a strong advocate of it and believes progress is being satisfactorily made. The Baptists and Anglicans, he thinks, may join later. C. Bell, oi Halifax, stated that the general feeling is iu favor of union, A factor in encouraging tlie older provinces is tbe unanimous feeling for union in the west. There will be no forcing in the matter, he said, but the outlook was very hopeful, as things seemed all to be progressing favorably, The Rev. Principal Gordon, of Queen's university, Kingston, said there set med to be an opportunity in Canada today for the union ol various sections of the Protestant churches, such as hod not been afforded in any country for a hundred years, perhaps not since the reformation.

There are many people in Kevelstoke who cuuld do much toward building up lhe trade ami tourist business "I the city by deiclopiug lliolr own businesses or by nl! er means, but they have Income, imbued with the idea that the interest whioh Ihe C.I'.R. and Tourist Asso- ciiiiinn aie taking in the city is scllicient to excuse any private enterprise along the lines ol advertisement and development of the city. That such an argument is fiiilaci;us is at once shown liy an examination, even a brief review ol the methods which are being su successfully employed by private individuals ami societies in the upbuilding oi California'.! trade anil tourist truffle However, for a comparatively small aud growing cily such ns Revelstoke, tho itttraBtions In Id uut to tourists Imve been well looked after.

The nee.l ol another large hotel, centrally located, is sorely felt in tlie tourist season, and if wc wnut to bring in visiters we must have somewhere to put them, The development of the tourist businen- in Revelstoke should be a joint stick undertaking in which the hotels ami private individuals should co-operate with the railway company to thfir mutual benefit, Tlio development of the Revelstoke tourist business depends upon the money expended upon it. The worst enemy to its growth is apathy—just us the chief factors in its accomplishment are enthusiism and activity. 8 }. M. Boot! l.L.D W. I. IlriKKs. tOTT AND BRIGGS Barristers, Solicitors, Etc.

SATURDAY, DEC. 15, 190b* CIVIC ELECTIONS. Uncertain and coy. This seems to describe the attitude of the large pro portion of folks who have been looked upon as likely candidates in the forth coming municipal elections. So much is this the esse that this bids fair to be the record hang-hack year. Many have, by denying all idea of running fur the mayoralty, proclaimed themselves a- candidates. The outlook certainly does not seem very brisk, Several members of the present council have signified, unofficially of course, their intention to hold themselves as candidates for the mayoralty. Notwithstanding all the secret interview ing committees that have been at work there are not yet enough candidates definitely in the field to be able to forecast with any accuracy the whole munioipal ticket. Down town there are minors of ticketB and rival tickets, on which a very hot contest may be fought, but so far they do not materialize. The same applies to the up town wards and we would not be in the least sur prised ii tome unknown or unrnen tioned candidate fur mayor should suddenly come out and sweep the field If the cr ntest il to be warm, it will at least have the added charm of being short. Ward two has been a little un the move, but the movement has no materialization. Then- ate said to Le prospects of two or three of hu.-e who have previously sat at thc council, ai candidates for the coming elections and Bhould ibis be the case the con test should be decidedly warm. Who ever they n.i.y l>c that are finally selected to govern the city, when the new Council comes into power they will be confronted with several very important questions concerning tlie city and ils welfare, and at Ihe6e ques tious are uf utmost moment, the can didatet should weigh well the-e things before being drawn into the munloipa vortex unwittingly and without con sidering what is at stake. REVELSTOKE'S TOURIST TRADE Whatever preparations the Kevelstoke touritt business bat up to (he present attained the fact is that it hnl really hardly commenced.

Tbe old, forgetful of their advancing years enter inii) the amusements of thc young with zest and for the time the outside cares of lhc world are forgotten. While engaged in the pursuit of pleasure ourselves we are apt somewhat to forget our Ies. fortunate brethren, who for many reasons are unable to join in the festivities of the Benson. Happily, in Revelstoke, there are none who cannot in some way provide a roof over their heads and who are without the means of purchasing food or even luxuries, but theie are some amongst ub who are incapacitated Irom taking the lull advantage of the pleasures that are customary at Christmas. We refer to the patients in the Hospital, who will have to depend upon the generosity and thoughttulness of the citizens, mainly, for their share of the joys and goodwill of the season, There are none who deserve more n bright and happy time than those who, awny Iro.n relatives and friends would spend a poor Christmas indeed, ii it wore not for the efforts and energies of the Hospital staff and the genera- ity ol the people, ll not only behoves us now to give generously und willingly such a6 lies within our power to the hospital and help the patients there to enjoy their Christmas this year, but it is a duty that is bounden to us all to help the sick and suffering, co-operate with the hospital staff in procuring ior tlie patients some of the pleasures of life so closely associated with the season ar.d to extend charity with a liberal hand in this direction. In doing this we shall feel that we can all enter into our own joys and pleasure* more heartily, knowing that we have been instrument il in making others happy and thnt we have fulfill d our duty as Christians to our less fortunate brethren. % 6,000 The transformers should be put ill by Railway company with motor. The present turbines are two 26 ins. on one shaft. And with tl.e head as reported by H. B. Smith Co., are over 500 h.p. and ample for llv additional work. For the present it would be advisable to mnke use ol these, tboigb, il the water should at any time be scarce, it would bo wise to install say a "23" wheel separately for day use, the cost being about $2,500. j*is there appears to be no scarcity of water and the wear on turbines is slight, the additional wheel may not be advisable for a long time, Tlie present squan box flume should be gradually replaced as means will permit, by the circular steel handed stave pipe which will give much better ri suits tor power. AUXILIARY PLANT 2nd. To make n certainty of an efficient and satisfactory service for boll, power and lighting, an auxiliary power should be provided, to be operated in cases of accidents, repairs, anchor ice or any other contingency tin.t may arise at any time. The choice would be between, (a) Gns engine and producer plant. ('-.) High duty steam engine and boilers. (o) Simple steam engineand boilers. Aid would depend to n very great degree on tlie length of time the plant would be requited to run. A good gus engine with producer pUnt of tbe best British mnke should be run on a consumption ol about \ of a pound of coal per horse power per hour, whit the coal consumption lor a steam engine would vary from i lbs. in a tirst- class compound i-ondensing engine, t 3. 4 or -') lbs. per hour with cheaper classes oi engines. It is difficult to get prices ; ,i *r. foi large gas engines of British manufacture, but from the best information available tbe lollowing would be ihe jcost and comparison. ; 360 b p.

And in tbe case of No. 3, about $1,000 for one month's service. In estimating the fuel there would be necessarily some waste in each case, but the proportions would be about a a above. Considering the economy of running it might be better to have two engines one of Buy 175 h.p. to run during the day lor power and one of say 250 h.p. to run during the night in lighting In the case ol one laige engine the usual normal friction load of the engine would be always carried and when running at part load the greatest economy could not bo obtained, but it would not pay on this account to purchase the high class engines. Another matter to consider is the damage to boilers by rusting when not in use. Unless particular pains were taken to protect them. I am inclined to thc opinion that if a first-class gaB engine and producer plant as belore descrbed can 1-c obtained at the price, $17,000, in place it will he the wisest investment. COST OK PRODUCING POWER AND PLANT. 3rd. In estimating tlie cost ol producing power and light the following Bhould bo taken into cunsi leration: Expenses ol operation, Cost of repairs and renew ils, Interest on plant. As the C. P. R. Co. would require 80 h.p. and the city is at present using 180 k.w. or 240 h.p, the com pai y's sharo for the 80 h p. would 1 e about one-fourth of the whole cost. As I have not the actual cost of the present works or the detailed ast of operation, I have estimated these two items us closely as possible from the yearly financial statement and report of If. B. Smith on the original value, and would of coin-Be be open to correction slightly on these amounts.

Articles have appeared recently in several papers regarding the financial condition ol the fraternal order of Woodmen of the World. Tho secretary of the local camp has written to C C Hodgins, M.P.P, the head Con. Com. for particulars of the supposed unsound condition of their affairs. In reply to the letter Mr. Hodgins states that there is no ground for apprehension, but on the contrary tbe standing and finances of the Order are today in a healthier state than at any previous time in ils history. The order lieing under Dominion incorporation, happen, il to be under the investigation of the Royal Commission sitting now 11 tee into the workings ol all insurance companies doing business under Dominion charter. No fault hat been f und with the met In ill ol doing business whatever. The Commission had their actuary make a calculation lo ascertain the legal reservs liability ol the Order, or in other words to ascertain how much too little was being collected. It wus upon this point particularly the Order was examined and taking the standard set, the figures could not be disputed, as all depends on the basis used, Now, judged Irom the same standpoint there are lew societies in Canada acttinri.y solvent, constquently the Woodmen il necessary to adjust rates, can do so more easily than any other society, The progress and position of the Woodmen are stronger and more permanent than ever before and there is no caute for any anxiety of the Order becoming financially embarrassed. Last year there were assets of over $157,374 and this year they have increased proportionately. BABY IN A TELESCOPE. Deserted Infant Found Snug and Warm in Valise. Winnipeg, Deo. 13.—Snug and warm and soundly sleeping in a telescope valise, a little child ot six weeks has been found in a stable on St. Johns avenue this morning. Every precaution had been made (or the comfort and security ol the child. There were plenty ol clothes in the valitc, it wat placed out ol the dralt, while warn, bricks kept up the heat and a kole was out in the top to admit fresh air. There was a bottle ol milk where the baby could reach it, The deserted inlant bad evidently gone quietly to sleep, unconscious that it was not in its own home. The child was well dressed but none of the clothing bore a mark by which it could be identified and the parentage ol the child is a complete mystery. BENEFIT CANADIAN WEST. P. L. A.

The prospects of the exposition are very bright, Everywhere on the northern coast the idea le recognised as one most beneficial aud worthy. At Seattle, where a $50,000 subscription was atked, $04,000 worth ot stock was taken in ono day.

A FAVORED LOCATION Revelstoke's Climate Has No Equal. The Christmas spirit is in the air antl it ii doubtful if Revelitoke hai ever made moro elaborate preparations for the holidays than at present, With a bountiful harvest just garnered and the winter holding forth promise of one of activity an air of briskness prevails. The merchants have bought heavily ol holiday goods and all their establishments nre veritable expo sitions of things that are sensible and beautiful. Tl.e roads are now in perfect condition Ior sleighing, the recent lall of snow having become well packed down. The slight thaw last week made a solid foundation and with a fresh frost nnd another fall of enow on Sunday, a fine surface bus been put on the highways. There bus been just enough frost to keep the surface keen and withal the weather ii most pleasant, cold enough lo make all feel brisk and a pleasant change irum summer beat and dust, fall rains and mud. Truly, we live in a most favored spot in regard to climate. FIELD.

NOTCH HILL From Our Own ('orrsppendent, Music lovers in our midst are in raptures over a new piano which Mrs. Sullivan, of the Royal hotel, has just purchased from Messrs. Williams, of Oshawa. The instrument, which cott nine hundred dollars, it modelled alter the Louis XV style in African Mahogany, inlaid with satinwood and has a tone of rare sweetness. During the mild spell latt week Ml. L.T.Morris launched a new motor boat, which, at the gracefully glided down Ihe ways wss named the Ida by little Mits Morris, who by moans ol a tricolor ribbon, deftly broke a bot. le ol champagne over the bow. As the golden fluid mingled with the waters of Shuswap Lake, much regret was expressed by some Indian spectators at the use to which it wai put, feelings with which we deeply sy.npatl.ited, and even at the last moment suggested that a bottle ot gasoline cocktails be substituted, but the innovation was Irowned upon on account ot the bouquet. Tl.e boat, which is twenty leet long by five foot beam, was built by Mr. Morris from tbe design of Mestrs Brooke.Bay City, is fitted with a four h.p.. four cylinder English engine hat accommodation for twelve passengers and during next teaton will be open for charter by day, week or month.

PARIS, '06, RUST .,e French f"i* meeting pr imptly every emergency of fashb ii, and usually without much expenditure, The latest tax upon this ingenuity was the discovery oi ,. way to accomplish the present high coiffure, which must round upward without other break than ita great regular waves. Hence, no more of the faithful side comb, rendered useb ss by Its weight. The French "coiffeur," tints tried, was not for a minute found wanting. To appreciate hla efforts it Is best to describe minutely the cause that led up to such satisfactory results The primary part of this latest coiffure follows out a method that has been for some time In use*. A part is described around ilu* head, about three Inches frmn the edge of the hair, dividing off the centre portion. This latter Is, as usual, arranged in a tight knot, not unlike a pincushion on top, while the outside portion much ruffed in back, ts taken up very loosely, though its ends are tightly twisted about the top knot. French women prefer to uso a '"crepe" of false hair Instead of exhausting their patience on a careful combing out, for iu careless combing, not ruffing, which is unjustly blamed for it, does the breaking usually occur, Americans, however, seem to retain a certain disdain for false hair, looking at It in an entirely different light from their French sister, whu hopes that you will adjudge her coiffure pretty, and gives no further thought to you or to Its murals. Whether the foundation be false or real, lt Is now ready for the "chl-chi" of loose curls, or puffs, that Is at this stage lighlly pinned on top, It will he seen the hair so loosely gathered Up Is Inclined to fall away In a flat, ugly manner, while In profile It often has a curious way of standing off from the forehead.

Do you recommend Dr. Vaucalre'a treatment for nu-? Mrs. D. H. Here are somo facts and rules that may help you: To Gain Flesh Generally. Absolute freedom from care and anxt«i#, At least ton hours' Bleep out of every twenty-four, ln addition to this, naps during tho day If possible. This Bleep must always he natural. Nothing ta -t-u bad for the appearance and general health as sleep induced by anodynea ■ r narcotics in any form. The diet Bhould be liberal and should consist largely of food containing starch and sugar; (potatoes, fresh, Bweet butter, milk, cream, frulis cooked and aei-ved with sugar, alt vegetables containing atarch an*i sugar, such as corn, aweet potatoes, beans, peas, foods of the macar iiii and spaghetti kinds, fish and oysters, Ice cream, deaaerta withuut pastry; plenty ot outdoor lire and a moderate amount of exercise. Bleep hi a well- ventilated mom. I do not believe any one can gain flesh if there is an Internal disease; certainly not If there is any tendency to dyspepsia or liver trouble. Where th** pa- tlcnt ts plump tn one iiirt uf the body »nd falls In another, a gymnast to course Is advised. There Is mahlng better than bicycling, unk'BB it may be a regular gymnastic course In order to pursue tho bitt.'r properly, the pati.-iit is advised to gn to a llrst- claia gymnasium, nutunit to an examination and iitkt* the exercises prescribed by ihe attendant ptosiclan.

Where lh ' —' any size In the country, nm.- . . opment Is inengr-t' tn the upper part of the ■body, swimming Is alsu an excellent exorcise, Walking is always wholesomo.

To Reduce the Ankles Would you please tell me what chemicals I should use and whal exerclsea are good to reduce the ankles and make the calves smaller? I am very willing to diet If you think that also advisable. M. B. To adhere to a diet will reduce your flesh generally, but not affect any special part; but perhaps your whole body Is over weight. I would advise you to bathe the ankles and calves In clear alcohol, alternating with warm vinegar, l'ho following recipe may also help: Pomade to Reduce Fat.

Suddenly the little boy's foot slipped off the smooth stone and down he went— splash!—into the water. Bullfrog was ao startled that he turned a back summersault and disappeared with a loud grunt. Green Frog, however, wns watching, and, as the whistle fiew out of the little boy's hand, hc grabbed it in his wide mouth and dived away until he was far off among the rushes. ^ TO 35 VERVFOND \ r^i P/0 yOU C<T^\ I or the WATERi/^rtSj &, .

Steam Printers and Publishers REVELSTOKE, B. C. Revelstoke & McCullough Creek Hydraulic Mining Co. A geneiul meeting of the stockholders of tbe Revelstoke and McCullough Creek Hydraulic Mining Co. ivos held last Thursday night, to tiansact general business and to elect officers for the year. The minub s ot the lust meeting were adopted as read. The lollowing directors were appointed: Charles F. Lindmark, president) J, G. Harris, Duluth, viee-preaiden'; J. D. Sibbald, secy.-treiis., and managing director; J. P. Sutherland, Murray Hume, C. M. Field, J.T. Mlohnud, Duluth; M. Thomas, Duluth; W.J. Botes, directors. J. II. Jackson was appointed auditor for the company. J. 1), Sibbald snid that the balance shcit nnd general report would be short y issued, No further business ol an imp -riant nature vvns .11 cussed and the meeting adjourned, The directors report that most satis- (nolo y nork has been done and pro gicss has i cen made on the property ami the lui ure looked most promising. Only a comparatively smnll portion has been cleaned up nnd tbe result, wns lar biggrr than anticipated, The cost ol running nud operating has been comparatively B.nall and when work commences in the spring several improvements In the methods of washing will be used, The company is a long way on the right side financially so that the returns to the stockholders should be very considerable. Thc want of a good trail Irani Laporte is badly lelt and since Ibis district is becoming more and more exploited not only loi mineral but also Ior timber, there is certainly every reason why the government should help out the private corporation in their work of dev lop ment. The Big Bend country is opening up into a most important district and with more conveniences of access Irom Revelstoke would well repay the Government Ior any money expended on trails and roads.

Sawyer, J. Mo- l'hail Public Catholic Worship now Illegal. Paris, Dee. 12 —This is a historic day for France. The struggle wl.ijb began in 1880 with the banishment ol the Jesuits, ended today with the legal rupture ot the bond which for practically a thousand years had united church and state, Ry reluBing to make the required declaration under tl.e public meeting law of 1881, public Catholic worship, except by Schismatic organization, tomorrow becomes illegal. The scenes in somo of the churches were touching. Not in years bad there heen such on attendance at mass. The number of women especially, conspicuously indicating the religious indifference of tbe male population. Although seven-eights ol the inhabitants of this city nominally are Cal holies, in no parts of the city were the churches crowded, Even at the cathedral, where a solemn high mass was celebrated, tbe edifice was only hill tilled. 1'auis Dec. 14.—There was an impressive response yesterdny morning to Ihe clergy's appeal to their parishioners to attend the lirst masses celebrated outside ol the pale of the law. Everywhere the front gates were closed, but worshippers entered through the side porch. The buildings were well tilled. In several places there was music, but nowhere was there nny attempt to interfere with the services or create disturbances. There were policemen standing outside the porches of the chinches to prevent disorder, while policemen iu plain clothes on duly inside simply noted the infrac- ti .us of the low, with the object ol making reports to the justices of the peace. Formal charges were entered wherever muss was celebrated, except at the churches oi St. Jean lT.vangelie and St. Blaise de Charonne, at Peie la Chaise, where parishioners mode application last evening tu hold services under the law ot 1881. Premier Clemeneiiti, replying to a question in the Chamber of Deputies ns to the reason for the expulsion of Mgr. Montnguini, said it was because oi bis complicity with prominent clergy ol Paris, against whom proceedings were pending lor inciting church-goers to rehllion. Interference by foreigners, on orders from Rome, in the politics of [France, he declared, was not permissible. The premier, amid thunders of applause, tersely summed up the situation, declaring that the government's conciliatory propositions tu-.var.Is the churcll had been exhausted and that it had been decided to leave the onus ou Rome in the luture. "It lhe church wi-hes' the premier ntinued, "there is still time to avoid a battle. We offer her the law ol 1881, made for all Frenchmen and submitting thereto, she will have peace, but otherwise, by seeking us, she will find us." ■J Carries ihe best Line of Goods to be had from GLESCA, HAWICK, GALASHIELS, JEDBURGH, MANCHESTER, HUDDERS- FIELD, STROUDE AM) LONDON.

NATIONAL PRIDE Canada will soon Lead the Way Thero are not a lew Canadians who still leel it incumbent upon themselves to apologize for their country when in the presence of the American magnate, tbe disposition being increased hy the plausible self approbation of the average American citiz«n. It is time, however, that Canadians should cultivate a spirit ot national pride. In no other niat'er than that ot population need Canada bow to our cousins at the south and even iu the matter of population, time wili doubtless work the miracle for Canada, that she has done for the other country. In climate, resources, territorial extent and a thousand othcr things Canada is the making of the biggest nation, at least, upon American soil. "That Canadians should realize this." suys the Westminster News, "and begin the cultivation of a national spirit and the fostering ol a national pride goes without saying. In size, potential wealth, present spirit and capability ol indefinite expansion the Dominion need fear comparison with no country wherever situate." CHURCHES. Catholic—Rev. Father B.

The wheat was grown and milled in the Okanagan valley and being plainly marked with the place of output have proved a most valuable advortisen>ent ot tbe resources of British Columbia in this respect. In order to enable the Japanese sufferers to undertake cooking the new food stuff, the report states that ''six yeast cakes and ten copies of directions for breadmaking, printed in Japanese were enclosed in each bag."
