It is a duty everyone owes. Lhe community, to destroy these parasites,- they do no good and their seed being numberless, will, if not taken in time, turn a fertile ranch into a thistle bed. Therefore not in fear of the law but for what we owe our fellow man, let as get out and cut the thistles, as you would swat the flies, and cut your share even to the centre of your ro<rd' allowance. i, Merritt storekeepers have .adopted the half holiday on Wedn todays. . ��������� _. ��������� __' The Toronto Saturday Night, in a recent edition, referred to North em Onterio as the only remaining mecca for the game 'hunter.The editor must be an Englishman.

Al 'l' It would appear that the two great political parties of the Dominion of Canada are shaping To: another general election. There is organization going on on both sides such organization as usually precedes an election. It is only the natural course of ��������� events that there should be another general appeal to the 'country when the new Redistribution bill .passes the house next session. The census returns are almost compiei- . ed- and it shows that the west is not represented a*c Ottawa as according to the British North American Act. The basis of representation has always been the piu- vince of Quebec and according pi the best authorities on this matter there are at least twelve seat-; due the west. Tis true, that some of the eastern provinces must loso seats but that cannot be helped Decrease of population in the east and a large increase in the western provinces will account for thi-si'. changes. ��������� i ��������� ��������� It is said that there will be pertain , compromise on the parf of committees having the 'Redistribution bill in hand.

Representatives are no doubt present from all ijarts of the Fraser Valley from tho different municipalities and boards of trade. In unity there is strength. The Valley needs much to make it more a*; tractive for the incoming settler For the Post to enumerate tha many requirements of the present residents of the Fraser Valley, would take more time and spaci' than is at the 'disposal of a small weekly paper. ��������� There is one matter, however, which could easily be taken up by the new organization should it bi- completed today, and that is the matter of assistance to the various municipalities of the Fraser Valley in the building of roads for the present settler and for the proo- .jcctive settler..'-An attendance at the various councils of the Fraser Valley cannot but impress upon the observant that the men who are undertaking the government of the different municipalities :ue butting up against a stiff proposition. A proposition . in which cl'.cy are handicapped by the people which they represent. There is the cry for roads; the cry for a. road to let the people out from farms to a well travelled lrghwaj to the market or the store or pooi- office. Some are so entirely stiut in that it is impossible to enjoy the comforts of farm life. These peu- ple are asking for roads; but they ask also that the loaal counul ���������keep the taxes 'dawn.", There are others asking for improvements to roads. They also object to high taxation. .What is the council to do with requests for road improve_ ments and hew roads that it is impossible to finance with the a variable funds at hand, v Some will say tha,t it gs ithe fault of these people themselves that they are so.- Bhut in. It may be, and it may not be. They come to the province or district and the ���������beauties of climate and soil are so luridly placed before them that like the unwary, they are induced to buy the land which the real estate agent or the friend recommends. When 'bought and they begin in this new country \he duties which the stern realities of life demand, then and only then du they realize what it is to make a home for themselves in the West. The claim of the Post is that these municipalities should be helped by the provincial government so as to enable a proper system iof roads to be built'in the province. If the new organization can cooperate with each other to hascen the day of good roads to the settler, as well 'asgood roads for the - ' * ���������..

The tendency towards a common t^njrim v/herebv people of various nationalities might be able to correspond and converse Intelligibly with one another has been revived by Professor Donnan in a strong plea for an international language of science. I-Te has collected and translated n series of essays written by the most celebrated.luminaries of Europe upon this perplexing question, for In the development of science the need of a common comprehensive tongue la more essential than In any other ramification of human endeavour. Up to a few years ago, comparatively speaking,. science was well supplied in this respect, for Latin was the vehicle for spoken and written communications in science; but the development of the latter brought about the- abandonment of this practice. Efforts to the same end have been made by the creation of universal languages such as Esperanto and Volapuk;, but these have now gone the way of all others, and are as dead as Greek. The failure of Esperanto and Volapuk Is attributed by Professor Lorenz to 'want of rational, development' and the fact that they contain too much arbitrariness. 2.V. tfaice Xight In a Bottle. A safe light for going about at night or where there are Inflammable materials, as Into a store-room, may be made as follows: Take a long glass bottle and put into it a piece of phosphorus the size of a pea; upon this pour pure' olive oil heated to the boiling point until this bottle is about one-third full and cork tightly. When light is needed take the cork out and. allow the' air to enter, subsequently- recorking. The empty space in the bottle will then become luminous and give quite an effective light. If it be-, comes dim It can easily be revived by uncorking the bottle for a few seconds. One bottle will'last a whole winter. Small bottles may also be prepared in this way and carried in the pocket.

On he came, staggering under the weight" of heavy Iron BhacklfK. till be reached a point within a few yards of me, when he sank down, evidently not knowing which way to turn. He was blinking tils eyea as.If blinded by the light of the aun. Then I saw a puff of smoke on the ramjtort* of the castle, heard a report and saw evidences of a stirring In and about the stronghold. 'It was evident that a prisoner' had escaped. The man Was a skeleton, and the agony on bis face at knowing that he must be taken was digressing. Darting toward him, 1 began to heap sand over him and, having some knowledge of his language, told him that 1 was trying to conceal him. He suffered me to do so. and I partly covered him with sand, pp/tty with an overcoat I wore, for a cillly sea wind was blowing. Then 1 sat down on him. lighted a pipe and began to puff, looking out with feigned interest on the Mediterranean. 1 never knew who gave the alarm, but It must either have been the fugitive's Jailer who had noticed bis dungeon vacant or some one on the outside who ran in to communicate what be bad seen. At any rate, whoever told of the escape must have lost sight of the fleeing man, for when a party ran em from the fortress to follow him they scattered In all directions, evidently none of. them knowing which direction to take. Most of them ran toward the shore, doubtless thinking be would naturally go there in hope of escaping by boat He certainly couldn't swim out to any of the ships, loaded as be was with irons. Several persons came near where I was, but they were too excited by the cbase to pay much attention to me, for I was in European dress and evidently not the man tbey sought One fellow was heading for me when I pointed, vociferating wildly at the same time,: to a pearl diver's boat lying near the shore.' This probably saved the man I was hiding, for it was likely that bad i permitted the searcher to come nearer be would have noticed that the sand had been disturbed. Kor; half an'hour.'f Bat on my man, &nd while I sat I thought. My act bad been the result of an Impulse. 11 had Interfered with the law and if detected would probably occupy a dungeon such as the fugitive had left From the moment I realized my position I shivered whenever 1 saw any on������ coming in, my direction. The sun was sinking in the west and I prayed earnestly that it might set and leave darkness behind it Gradually the tteardhdrs thinned out, not supposing fthat tha fugitive could be near . aj fiand, and finally the search* was given up in my immediate vicinity. When It grew dark enough to warrant my uncovering the man I did so. His eyesight was now far better than mine, for, ns I had supposed, he had become used to. what little light might make its way Into a dungeon. I told him to go where he liked, but he pleaded with, me so eagerly. to help, him get rid of his chains that I could not refuse him. Besides, I considered him In a sense as Robinson Crusge looked upon the man he had saved from the cannibals, his own .man Friday. So I covered him again, went up into the town, bought a coarse file and, returning, cut off his shackles, which I buried in the-sand. Then, giving him what money I had in my pockets, I told him to go his way. I could not see his features, but I could feel his gratitude In the pressure of his band and hear what he said. Translated into English, it Is ttil's: "Allah Is great. When.you are In trouble he will s^nd me to.help you." With that he disappeared In the darkness.. , , " The next "day I" walked past the point in the wall from which be had made his escape, I saw a hole Just large enough for a lean body such as his to pass through.. He had doubtless managed to secure some sharp implement, with which he had dug his way out through crumbling places. Indeed, I visited ms prison and was shown the cell in which he had lived for twenty years and the passage he had dug. But, conscious of the part 1 had taken in his escape, 1 did not linger longer than to satisfy my curios: ity.. Indeed, whenever a Turkish official looked.at me Tfelt that I was suspected. Not feeling sure that I might not . after all, come to be known as havtng . hidden the prisoner, I went to the i United States consul and told him-that - I feared arrest for an infringement of | Turkish law and asked him to send every day to my lodgings to ask if I were still there. What I feared was being spirited away and put in a dungeon without any.of my countrymen knowing what had happened. I was planning for a trip down into the desert, but I bad my outfit to purchase and my attendants to hire. So It^was impossible for me to get away for some time. I confess I felt relief when one morning with three camels and half a dozen men, Including my servant, Hadji, who had attended me [while in Tripoli, 1 started on my journey. I had tried in vain to secure the services of some trustworthy Bedouin who knew the desert and would make a safe guide. But whenever I found a man who knew the country; I was warned that be would probably murder me and possess himself of my effects, and when 1 found a man with a reputation for morality he knew nothing about the desert I finally started with no one but myself to rely on, and I had occasion to bitterly rue my temerity. My journey was one continued effort to protect myself against thieves and robbers. It was - useless to put my men oh guard at night, for they., did not seem to care whether what Ijhad was stolen or not One night while I myself was watching I noticed a large dog prowling near, my camp. Presently I discerned a/desert thief directing the animal, wlio had been taught to steal. But this was a,'mere bagatelle, compared with a sandstorm that overtook us, and the sandstorm was not so dangerous as a man I hired for a japiide from one oasis to another, who tried tojjilot me ..into r������n_ambush_where_ jt You may be paid $50 in Cash for improving your walk like this ^ 108 Canadian farmers will receive, cash, prizes (twelve in each Province) in. our big 19i2,:;FARMERS' PRIZE ���������V CONTEST' WE held, a cor.tcst last year in which 36 prizes were offered:;.!

The distance was three days' travel, but at the end of the third.day I looked in vain on the horizon for. that bunch of fauna which indicates an oasis. - i camped, and the next-day wp-traveled in the burning sun without seeing any sign of a point for refreshment, nor. did we meet a caravan. The sandstorm bad obliterated any tracks of the great route between Tripoli and the Sudan on which we had started. AH about us was an unmarked wilderness of sand. The desert is so immense that when one loses his position there is no hope of finding It again. One on that boundless sea without knowing what direction to take can only go on day after day, hoping to strike an oasis. That is what we were compelled to do. * The sensation of being lost in a wilderness of sand was frightful enough in itself, but to see the stock of provisions day by day growing smaller, the skin pouches holding the water growing thinner, with the hot sun pouring down on one's brain, is maddening. So we tolled on, hoping each.day for some end to this frightful journey. Either a distant caravan, an oasis or even a band of robbers would have been welcome. And now the humps on the camels' backs became shrunken. We had no water to give them, for we were using ourselves what remained in one of the pouches. We killed one of the camels for the water in its hump. Then we killed another. One of my men died, then another and another, most of them mad, till about all were dead and I was left alone, a human being with a camel.

But I was awakened by a touch. There, by the light of a frtfft moon that had arisen perhaps an hour before, I saw a skeleton of a man Jn Bedouin cos- time bending over me. "Allah has sent me," he said. He took me up in his arms and carried me away, I knew not where, for to me there was no north, south, east or west Most of the time I was unconscious. When I was not I was looking up into the dome of the heavens, whose stars seemed to be glaring at me. Then suddenly I thought I was in a boat in a choppy sea, but soon recognized the motion of a camel. I put out my hand and felt hair. Straps wefe about me so that I could not fall. I felt a cup of water placed to my lips and saw the face of the man 1 had saved at Tripoli holding it while I drank.

I was seized with a desire to know whether I had been saved by the quick or the dead. I joined a carava^j passing through the.oasis northward of Tripoli.

I was greatly disappointed at this, for it precluded the possibility of my ever hunting up the man through his relatives and discovering whether he was living ,or had died.

Among insects are found many instances of structures present in males and -wanting in the female of the same species.

That may seem to some a fact of small significance, but. it reveals in Chief Ross one of his most predominant traits of character. Or, putting it- the other way, it shows the lack of a certain obnoxious trait: officiousness. The man who has had direct charge of Ottawa's police force since Feb. 22nd, 1910, first joined the force on June 6th, 1895, as an ordinary blue- coat. He was given his best along with the others, and many a cold night he tramped the Ottawa streets in the interests of law and order. P. C. Ross was no ordinary policeman. He had been a school teacher in Ontario and a grain merchant and business man in the West. He pleaded guilty only to a desire for action in seeking the life of an officer of the law. And Chief W. F.

He was the third child of a family of five, four boys and one girl. His father, Mr. Robert Ross, and his mother are still living, hale and hearty at a ripe old age. At the' age of 23 the future chief heard the Horace Greely call, and he returned Ea&t and settled In Ottawa in 1894. The chief'is a bachelor. He carries his age well, being a man of magnificent physique, and might easily be taken for a man in the thirties. His favorite recreation is curling, at which he is expert, and he is a leading skip of the Ottawa Curling Club. ARCH. P.

You do not meet the real McKishnie when he is at his office desk or in his study ��������� tho' to be sure his personality impresses you right away .with visions of the open and the nature he knows and loves so well ��������� but trail with him thro' the tangle of bush grown up- At Doornkloof, in the goldmining district of the Transvaal, a hole has been drilled down 5500 feet, thus making one of the few perfc...,..<_,ns of the earth's outer crust which exceed a mile. And even the adjutant sjniled. nciirflimg- the Secrets of Egypt's Highly Pyramids Umt have been Hurled for Over F.fly Seven Centuries. It slumbered for thirty-seven cen- uries''before the coming of Christ ��������� .he .Groat Pyramid of Cheoiij,' . or <,Ch,ui'u. It still stands there, eight .niles from Cairo, defying time, the elements, and the vandals, all working together,-barely able to stretch its skin. An American, Dow Covington, ���������has brought out the latest word from its mysterious depths; he has almost solved its secret. After clearing every passage that can. be found, he hasv discovered Jhat certain winds make musical sounds in the passages, which he has rid of the .debris of nearly fifty-seven centuries and hr hopes yet to find another northern passage which will make quite a musical effect when the*winds blow right. Best of all, he has cleared the single remaining course just above the sands of the desert, and re-- vealcd to the world ,that its outer sheath was'of white limestone, which nobody knew before, because the great -mass of stone had been used as a common quarry for thousands of years. The limestone sheathing makes many a mosque in Egypt to-day.'When the tomb of Cheops was first reared'it was as white as a marble mansion of our times. The technical work bf those days was marvellous. The masonry is absolutely unrivalled; there is nothing better in all the world today. Monuments and palaces have come and have gone a hundred times since the Great Pyramid was built. They have perished; it remains. . For 20 years 100,000 men toiled .'at the stones. They built their great pile facing exactly north and south. They chose a base of nearly a seventh of a mile, 761 ft: to be exact. This was a plot covering nearly 13 acres There were 210 -perfect courses '. of stone, almost invisibly joined of Mo-, kattem limestone blocks. At an angle of a little more than 51 degrees its four sides swept-up, tapering to the pointed apex, 481 ft. above the ground. In it were 85,000,000 cubic feet of stone, put up by people who had no modern machinery. There are about 2,300,000 individual blocks. It Flew 5600 Years Ago! The.debris removed, marvellous relics were unearthed. They had been 'eft there almost before modern time began ��������� objects of bronze and terra cotta, two mason's levels, bread- plates and wine-flasks used by the workmen of other days. There were the bones of a sacred bird which flew its last flight at least 5,600 years ago. He found the mysterious chamber below the ground ��������� burrowed out of the living rock beneath the mighty- pile above���������"The stones of darkness and the shadow of death." What this chamber was for is not yet known. Sixty-nine feet-of debris obstructs the outer end of , the channel that 'eads to the great chamber of 'the king ��������� the great Cheops, or Khufu, himself, and when this has been cleared away, there will be exposed for the "���������rut timp in history the interior, of this world -wonder. A recent writer on the subject of talking by sun v-iyis concludes that the civilised world is probably indebted to the North American Indian for the idea of making use of. sun, rays, reflected from a looking g'as's, as" a means of transmitting messages or signals. Science has taken' she idea, modified and improved upon It, and the now almost perfect means used by all prominent nations to transmit messages by means of a mi������,:,,,r and sun rays are but" the outgrowih cf the idea ,of the "untutored savasje," who many, many years ago coucc.ved the .dea of making the flashes of sun rays from a small piece of ghiss held in the hand the medium of convey.ng SignaiS and messages from pc nc co point. Borne authorities maintain that the Idea came from a "er n ������������������- r:ir '"'���������"���������-k as the time of Alexander, as some histories record tho fact that he piloted his fleets by t.ignals made by the -rays .of tlie sun reflected from some bright surface. The Indian with his small piece of shining material cowid send signal flashes a distance of over twenty-five miles. Today the uiviliccd world, with the idea impiv.vo.l upon, and with fine instruments wide for the purpose, is able to transmit lo.ig messages over seven Union n.; far.' The Instrument used is called a heliograph or sun writer. The heliograph may be described as an instrument by which rays of light are reflected from a highly polished mirror, mounted on a tripod so as to throw the resulting flash on any desired point within the field of vision. The signals are produced by causing the reflected rays io a'ppr-r.r and disappear or be obscured, the intervals of appearance and obscuration being varied in length so as to produce the combinations of long and short flashes. . WIRELESS TELEPHONY TRAINS. OX ARCH. McKISHNIE Journalist of Toronto and Montreal lands in buff shirt and corduroy; paddle with him along placed, mountain hemmed lakes; or lay for drenching chilly hours, in the reed blinds, and you will know McKJshnJe arichL The JOVe Of t^ ^tu Ern.mp.c nf The Queen's Cham bar Beneath the King's chamber, in the heart of the pyramid, is the Queen's chamber, near the entrance to which ���������there was found about forty years ago a number of rare relics, the most important of them" being a small bracelet of iron, or perhaps it was a child's anklet. This was lying imbedded in the cement of tho eighty- fourth course. It is the oldest iron object known to men. In 1837 a Mr. Hill, an engineer, found imbedded, in the 103 course a flat piece of iron equaly as old, which is now in the British MuFeura. Masons to-day build no more beautifully than did those ancient men who toiled 5,600 years ago. They have left their own monument in the Queen's chamber ,: which, apparently, was never-used. It is s.uperbly finished and jointed; yet, oddly enough, the entrances to this superb tomb was covered and concealed. Possibly it was intended for Mertitefe, Khufu's Queen, but she survived him and married his brother Chephren, who built the-second pyramid in the great group which stands to-day as perpetual monuments" just outside Cairo. The Grand Gallery is considered ths most mysterious, part oX this A phase of human activity which has occupied the attention of many inventors is the devising of a simple system for maintaining wireless telegraphic and telephonic communication with moving tra'ns. Nu ��������� prous experiments have been made in the United States, Belgium, and Germany, as well as in Britain; but the success hitherto achieved has not been sufficiently convincing to warrant commercial exploitat.on. An inventor in the Midlands, however, appears to have solved the difficulty, judging from the eminently satisfactory results of tests made. In this invention the method is adopted of encircling a ' railway carnage with two frames of wires for sending and receiving messages. Along the side of the track is carried a continuous wire, similar to that u?c I for telegraphing purposes, which may. be buried or carried on low posts," and which links up with stations and signal-boxes, as well.as with the trunk telephone and telegraph systems of the country. In the carriage an ordinary telephonic, instrument is installed, and the electric oscillations are transmitted or received by either of the above-mentioned wire frames carried beneath the coach. The system is described as wireless inductive, so that the pulsations produced in the sending wire frame are reproduced by induction in the wire running parallel with the track, and vice ver.������ " messages.'

JULY 12TH CELEBRATION fifteen thousand persons took pari in the celebration. New Westminster presented a gala- appearance, and orange was the predominating feature of _ the scheme of decorations. The mem��������� bers of the order were bedecked with the regalia necessary to the occasion, but the women and children who made up spectators were equally resplendent with colors The three thousand Orangeman. NVho actually took part in the parade congregated-at Library square shortly after one o'clock. The procession, with beautiful banners dancing in ..the breeze and marching, to the inspiring strains of the fife and drum, eras* and bagpipes swung up Columbia street, headed by. Chief Marshal Otway Wilkie. mounted on a cream colored steed. The parade, which took more than half an hour lo pass, *as the largest ever seen ;n the Ko/al City, and presenU-^ a sight that had never been equalled. '��������� - '-��������� Led by the kilties with their bag pipes, the procession, .accompanied by the brass bainds from Rev- elstoke, North Vancouver, South Vancouver, Vancouver ,City, Mission City, Victoria and Westminster, marched up .Columbia Street co Park Row, then countermarching at park gate, swinging .arouna the Oval and forming a circle. The principal streets w.ere lined deep with thousands of onlookers, many of whom /numbered among the visitors whose affiliations, were unmistakably shown in the orange ribbons that decorated the glossy tresses of the women folk. The morning was devoted to receiving the guests who arrived uii trains, boats, cars and every conceivable conveyance from all parts of British Columbia, by committees appointed especially for thatpui- pose. ,, . Arrived at Queen's park, the delegates were officially welcomed to the city by acting-Mayor Gray in an appropriate speech. . Amongst the hligh provincial officers present were Deputy Grand E.

On Mo,nday July 15th the council was resumed immediately after the court of Revision, with all the member sof the council present. The reeve stated that the meeting had been called -to fix the rate of taxation for the coming year, the question had been thoroughly talked oyer and all estimates carefully looked into, the council knew what work there was to be done and he for one would gladly welcome any suggestion that would To celebrate the 5u'th anniversary ' be made'whereby the rate could be of the foundation of the Orange reduced. The members of the Order in British Columbia, Mission council having individually ex- City Lodge No. 1629, accompanied by many townsfolk, visited New Westminster on Friday last. Head ed by Mission City band, looking very smart in new uniforms, the members of the lodge, bearing then new banner, marched from the Orange Hall to the depot where they were joined by a contingent from Matsqui alnd Clayburn. The whole party left on the Agassis local for Westminster, where it is estimated /pressed their opinions it was duly proposed and seconded that tne rate for the coming year be, General Rate 15 mills Health Rate - ������������������ l'mill School Rate , 5 mills making a total of 21 mills. This is an increase'of 25 percent over last year. The rate on the wild land to bo 40 mills, the same as last year. that there are enough public spir-1 ited men in. the community to handle ''this thankless Job. From, the Reeve to the Clerk, each member of the council is obliged to explain daily why it is impossible to' make two land two make ten. The average man believes that it is the bounden duty of the council :o pay special attention to tht particular piece.������f work in which he is personally interested without regard to the fact that there' arts a ��������� hundred others''with the same conception. There are only 100 cents in each dollar and the supply of diollars is limited. The borrow- .ng power of a municipality is limited and. taxes are not allowed co exceed a certain fixed proportion of the valuation. . Should the council in a fit of abstraction take heed of the demands of the. tax-payers and grant the improvements which they so ardently demand, then they are obliged to increase the rate of taxation and Mr. Tax-payer gets busy again with his little hammer and begins to howl against the huge taxation. The cost of building and maintaining the roads in a sparsely settled and growing country, is of necessity high. The hundred and ;me items of expense which arc mere details in a' thickly populated region, soon begins to beat heavily upon the municipality in which a large proportion of the land is still uncleared and unproductive. The average tax-payer, however, demands that the sami facilities for transportation to and from the markets be furnished, and i from an ethical standpoint, he is entitled to them on a basis of hia taxation. There is only one way out of the quanary, and that is aid from the provincial government. The precendent is to hand as the government is "always ready. with the open purse to assist in the con struction of the new railroads, etc. and will foster industries of this kind in order that they may pats through'the initial stages of their growth without undue strain. Why should the young and go*o,wing municipalities b etreated less fairly than are the corporations whose resources are practically unlimited. The railroads assist in build-, tag-up the country; true, and so does the new settler, the only difference being .that the railroad company is usually well able to take care of itself and will come into the country with or without subsidies provided there is IraUV to justify their coming; the new .settler, on the other hand, is entirely dependent upon the community for his means of transportation to the markets. Without roads, the land is useless, without help .the settler cannot build these roads; without money, 'the municipalities cannot render the help to which the settler is entitled as Hardware and Furniture a tax-payer. It is up to the gov ernment. If your local reeve or councilman is unable to give you what you demand you may take it tor granted that it is'because the. municipality, is short .pf funds as the reeve and councilmen are out human and would much prefer to travel along the lines of least ic- sistance and would naturally oe glad to build all the roa.ds the country co.uld use, providing the funds were available. The "dilii- culty is that like most men, they are unable to find more than 100 cents in each dollar. MATSQUI Mr. Joseph Lewis, late of H. M.
