The fact that it  would obviate the present necessity  of handling freight at Taku, and  then training across,the portage, to  be shipped again, on Atlin Lake,  would alone considerably reduce the  cost of  freightage.  JI has been suggested that the  White Pass Railway Co. is oposscd  to the scheme���for some reason best  known to, themselves;��� but, supposing, such is possibly the case,  surely, the progress and welfare of  the district with its growing mining  industry, would never be allowed  to suffer such an injustice as to be  blocked by a railway company that  has always enjoyed the favors of  Government and reaped great profits at the cost of the mining industry-  We would commend  this  matter  to the immediate consideration of  the mercantile community of the  district, as the navigation of Atlinto  River, would undoubtebly contribute in great measure to the relief of  the situation, and, in the meanwhile  we would also suggest that a petition  be. forwarded to the Government to  aid the district in obtaining the  desired reduction of the present excessive freight rates.  Iu the event of our efforts failing  in the forgoing direction, we might  improve the waterway by 'bi.ll-dos-  ing' some ol the more prominent  rocks as has been done in former  years by private enterprise to the  advantage of the smaller boats and  scows using the River.  ��&0-JHM**����&***&0&��&^^  N. ^WHEELING  Groceries and Provisions  Fre'sh Fruit and Vegetables  Allways   on   hand  The Iron Store,  First Street*  ���5  S*****************^^  POOL  ROQM  GOOD  STABLING  THE GOLD  MOUSE  DISCOVERY, B.

How St. Nicholas came to be  adopted as the patron of children is  most interesting. His own childhood was remarkable. Soon after  he was born his nurse prepared to  give him his first bath, and to her  astonishment and no less amazement of the other women in the  room he stood upright in the basin,  and remained standing, iu an attitude of ecstatic adoration, for two  hours. This of course, is the earliest act of his life.  Later on, as he grew up, he  acquired a great knowledge of the  scriptures, and entered a monastery  In due course he became an abbo t  and subsequently an Archbishop.  Now for the legend which has  made him the patron of children.  A gentleman determined to send  his two sous to Athens to be educated, they had to pass on their  way through the town where the  Archbishop lived, .and, in accordance with their farthers instructions  they were to call.on the Holy Nicholas, to obtain his blessing before  proceeding on theirjjouruey.

During  the night, however, the' archbishop  was voelhsafud-ri aniraculous   vision,  iu which   he   saw   all   the  cerctim  stances of the murder of the youths  who   were   to  have   -besought   his  blessing.

A good story is told by ,the Victoria Week about a well known  socialist leader who is supposed to  ���be a potent factor in" provincial  politics. A few days ago the <reu-  tleman in question went home to  dinner expecting to meet only his  ���wife. As he sat down he noticed  the table was laid for three.  "Are you expecting anyone?" he  .asked his wife.  ' No," she said: "are you?"  "No."  was the reply. '    ,  His wife there upon went into  the kitchen to make inquiries when  she was informed by the cook, a  white woman, that the third place  was for herself as she intended dining with tlie family all times.  ''Are you goiiig to allow it?"  asked  the Socialist husband.  "Certainly," said his wife we  must either change our politics or  lose our cook.  "Done," said the husband and  they lost their cook.  This is a delicious comment upon  the insistent clamour of Socialists  for equality, and should-be noticed  by those who would fain challange  the sincerity of Socialist leaders.
