As the wroter states that he is in his 82nd year, he seems to have made some strong points. Of course Professor Osier was not at all serious in suggesting men of 60 etc., but his lecture in which this language is used has created wide-spread comment and .criticism^, for naturally every man above forty feels that he has been personally assailed. The article reads as follows: In the Boston Record of Feb: 24th we found a picture of. ourself, and a statement that Dr. William Osier, a medical professor in Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, thinks that all men (and wc suppose all women) above forty are practically useless, and that all above sixty are so utterly worthless that they should be chlorofoimed and the earth rid of them, and in our morning paper of Feb. 25th we find a picture of this Dr. Osier. Whether the doctor derived his impressions from the lives of his own father, grandfather, uncles and so forth, we do not know. When the celebrated Dr. Johnson proposed to marry the widow Thrale, and she said that she could not marry him because one of her uncles had been hung, he replied that it was a matter of no consequence, for while he did not know that anv of his uncles had been hung, several of them ought to have been. Whether the doctor would propose to have a laboratory established in Johns Hopkins for chloroforming all the men and women of Baltimore above six- ty> and whether he would enjoy the sport of chloroforming them as much as the Kaiser Wilhelm does thc shoot ing of tame deer and other harmless creatures we do not know. Cardinal- Gibbons being past seventy would, we suppose, be one of the first to be chloroformed. It is an old proverb, "Old men for NAVAL MOVEMENTS.

London, Mar. 25.���������Dr. Fr-idtjoff Na- sen, the Arctic exiilorer, is making a short stay in London, to discuss scientific matters with the Royal Geographical Society. Upon being interviewed on the -difficulty between Norway ami Sweden, 'he said that the situation was graver than generally understood abroad and . that there was a very serious danger to the union if Sweden persisted in refusing Norway's undisputed rights. Then, -according to the history of the ���������dispute in' detail, Dr. Nansen said that the consular question involved a test as to whether' Sweden was prepared honestly and honorably to carry out the treaty of union or if Norway was to become a mere Swedish dependency. Owing to the fact that Sweden is protectionist, and Norway free trading and because of Norway's more extensive sea trade and other divergencies of commercial interest, Dr. Nansen said it was absolutely essential for Norway to have her own consular service, but since Sweden's breach of faith and her failure to carry out the agrccnwnt on the subject of the Logerheim Committee in 1902, Norwegians were reluctantly driven to the conclusion that it is useless to enter into further negotiations.

The quarrel was so violent as to attract the attention of a policeman, who arrested the two, and took them to the police station. Just how he heard what they were saying and was therefore convinced that it was really a quarrel and not a political discussion or a lesson in jiu-itsu, the policeman does not explain. The report closes with the intimation that when they were taken to the policeJstation the men wrote on a piece of paper that they would be good if they were allowed to leave town and this was considered the best course to pursue in regard to them.

The letter published in yesterday'*, ' Ledger, signed "ALove* of Men," has'aroused some discussion among people who arc and some who a.e - not, in sympathy with the sentiments of the writer. ���������As times go on, the views of people become more liberal in-, many lines and things arc now not only tolerated, but encouraged . by those professing Christianity that only a few years since were entirely prohib- ited. Dancing, playing cards, and ���������-"������������������: many other games and amusements, are now allowed by some at least, of'the ������������������orthodox churches. Even Sunday games 'of baseball, lacrosse, football, and other athletic sports aic now not altogether under the baa oi '���������".-. all churches.

The board, however, refused to ' consider his conscience, and still hold their weekly meetings on Frill ay night. Mr. Dugan attends, but under protest. Celebrated teachers and ministcis are now conceding that Sunday games may be played by church members -without incurring chinch penalties. In fact it is now recognized among intelligent people thai all men are born equal, and that no man should be interfered with in his pursuit of happiness. This means strictly, that if a man believes it is his duty to attend a church on il e Sabbath day, no man nas any n^n legal, moral or otherwise, to prevent him. He must not be disun lied in his right of worship. 11 is equally true that if a man wishes lo go fishing orr the Sabbath day, or a lot of boys wish to meet and ,)lav football that they have a legal and ; moral right to do so. They have no right to do these things, however, to in any way interfere with the rights of those who believe Sunday should be observed differently. Sunday is the seventh day, or \:en- crally so recognized, and is a day of rest. Some people prefer to sleep late, to drive out in thc country, to pic-nic in thc woods, to go boating, or have athcr plans which they carry out for rest. Others prefer church services and wend their way, some to the Methodist, some to the Presbyterian, some to lhe Church of England, others to the Roman Catholic. Sissimilar teachings in many ways are given out at the various churches, hut each attendant selects the church that :suits him best. In this world we cannot all think alike, and it lins come to he realized that you cannot make abiding laws that will insure church attendance. Nor is il right that.'i> should so be. All people unite in .saying, let us have a moral law- abiding town. As to what each shall do on the Sabbath day en eh one will decide for himself, for in - this 20(.Ii century every man who obeys flic laws of lhe. land has a right to he the keeper of his own conscience. Churches are schools, and good teachings are given out, and whether a member or not, it is a good place to go. A merchant would rather select a young man for a clerk from among church attendants than from among those who .spend their Sundays in Kirch a way that they do not advance themselves. So white in no sense and good should be suppoited by a communi- ' ty. It is certainly a sign of ad- '\ancemcnt in a community to see 'a church prospetous, and we, in com- in'mon with all other people on Ladysmith. whether chinch men or not, with all chinches success, but thc 'wnter of yesterday's letter takes grounds that can not, be maintained for people will do, as long as they obey the laws, about, as they wish with their spare hours.

A girl baby, weighing -17 J pound.*, at its birth ������ has been born to the wife of Augustus Steele, who resides at < the corner of Fifth Avemu and Baker Street, in Ballard, Wash. Dr. 'M. L. Adams, who attended thc mother, weighed the baby at its birth and verifies the figures. So far as '{lie half dozen Seattle physicians of prominence who were interview I know, that this is the. largest baby on record. Df. \V. P, Stewart, of Ballard, declares - that he had personal knowledge of a baby born in Cleveland 11 years ago which weighed 174 pounds at its bieth, but thc child died within a few weeks, succumbing to the heat of the >um :i .r. The-Ballard baby-is healthy, and Dr. Adams insists its life will be prolonged. Seattle physicians wee- skeptical when the story "of the big Ballard baby was -told them, but the facts were too easily verified to allow, doubt to linger long. ,One after another the most prominent physi. cians of the city declared that so far as their memory went the " Ballard record - has not been beaten. .One infant- weighing 16 pounds at birth was recalled,- but other records fall far*below this weight. The Steele baby is perfectly formed, and so far as babies go, is well muscled rather than fat. Only in weight does the child differ from hundreds of other babies. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN. ' A strikingly' significent motto has been adopted by an organization that has for its object the betterment of conditions under which women and children labor in -factories. It is: "Take care of your proxy." The admonition is addressed especially to women who do not have to work. The thought is that were "it not for the labor of those employed in the factories making garments the women who now live in their own quiet homes would have to do this work. Tlie factories have supplanted the spinning V?*eeli l'eavlnS p������"pdern wives ajid jjjpthei's with more leisure than their grandmothers Jposs^seit_ for/ culture ana' recreation. A'Thcse Jac-; tory workers,'' says a Western woman to her sisters, "are your proxies, and you are: responsible for the manner in which they do your task. You may delegate the task to them., if you will, but you should see to i;-it that they are not compelled, to work in unclean ��������� places which you would not visit, or kill themselves by long hours over your clothes." ������������������������������������:' - ' There is a decided personal respond sibiUty hefe which must not be shirked, The women of this c have it within their power tp effect a transformation in the conditions which surround the einpjoyees of sp many of the large manufacturing establishments, It is not.difficult tp learn the conditions of one's own community, and . there are means, which will readily suggest themselves, for bringing offending employers to see the evil of their ways.

RESOURCE OF YAN COUVER ISLAND If Vancouver "Island offers as good chances to the farmer, prospector qV investor as does any part? of British Columbia. It is not easy to find a section of country that is exactly right in all respects. It is, perhaps, impossible to find such a country, but for a fair chance to make a home with comfortable surroundings the section of country along the line of tb2 Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway is well worth considering. A few of the most prominent of the island's productions and natural resor rces ou|y are mentioned in this article. ���������p������������������ CoaJ Deposits (a.) First among tlie natural re~ gpurces are tho great coaj manures Timber, (b.) The value of the immense tinir ber resources of Vancouver Island', v. ith its high class Douglass fir', cedar etc., has already been realized by the great lumber companies. The Victoria Lumber Company,, of Chomainus, has among its members shrewd Wisconsin and Michigan lumber kings who have secured, and .now'hold, hundreds of millions of feet of splendid timber and are continually increasing thsir holdings. Their, export.trade now running from 30,000,- .100 to 50,000,000 of feet per yeac A'ill no doubt be largely increased by the beginning of work on thc Panama anal, for the demand, which will' be ...ppLcd largely from this section for .i..:Ler to use on the great work, will -amount to hundreds of millions oi feet. Other companies, Shawnigah uake, Haslam and other ��������� companies are turning out large quantities ' of lumber and shingles. Harbors and Waterways. , (c.) -Harbors and waterways -;in- connsction with Vancouver Island -is a subject understood much better by men. who "go down to sea" than landsmen. But'opposite to the mainland and direct across from Vancouver, Oyster Harbor or Ladysmith Bay, has long been known as a safe ������md commodious harbor. It is one where large wharves are already esJ tablished in connection with the coal oxport trade and with the freight ...usincss, as the point of transfer by the C:p.R. for the Island freight. In jonnection with this matter it is worthy of remark that for the last ihree years the transfer barge has made its daily trip and has rarely,'is ever, been delayed on account of bad weather or ���������" unfavorable conditions, and has never met with an accident. N'anaimo Harbor, Departure Bay, f Chamainus and other safe harbors are t'ound along the coast. Ncar: the" north end of the island safe harbors are found that may yet be used as last ports of call for steamers leaving Victoiia for the Orient," ', f������st" brains connecting from Ladysmith landing, or conveying to, passengers and mails. Fisheries. ' The waters of Vancouver Island teem with fish. Hsrring in vast quantities visit our shores. A profitable trade in fisheries which includes, off our more northern shores, halit&t and other deep sea fish, is being built up and is capable of much greater development. what is known aa the reserve of the E. & N. grant. The total value of i the mineral product to date lor Vancouver Island and vicinity is given by the Provincial Mineralogist, Mr. W. F,, Robertson, as '275,322 tons of a value of. $4,378,370. - ���������o��������� Pottery Clay. The clay found in the Extension Mines is regularly shipped to Victoria to tlie, pottery works for the manufacture of sewer pipes and pottery of various kinds\ may be a survey in the Stone and Lime. Magnificent building stone is found at various points. The quarry at Duncan, lying contiguous to the E. & N. railroad, furnishes high class building stone that should. be in demand where heavy stone work is required, while lime quarries also ex- baso of the' hill or bank, but not-exceeding 1,000 feet. Where steam power is used, claims 200 feet wide may be obtained. Dredging" in the rivers of Manitoba and tho N.W.T., excepting the Yukon Territory���������A free miner may obtain only two leases of five miles each for j a term of twenty years, renewable in the discretion of the Minister of the Interior. . Ths lessee's right is confined to the submerged bed or bars of the river below low water mark, and subject to the rights of all persons who have, or v.ho may receive, entries for bar idigi/ings or bench claims, except on the Saskatclu wan River, where the j lessee may d.cpjde to high water mark on^each alternate leasehold. ' The lessee shall have a dredge in ist on the line of thc railroad. Good 'brick clay is found in Nanoose bar- !opel.aliojl witmn one"seaSon"fVom the bor above Nanaimo, and limestone datp of the leaS(J for ^ fiy0 on the line of the railroad, near or j ^ wiierc ' at Esquimalt Harbor * Water Power. '. Of water power, some .very large and permanent streams arc found with natural falls, some again can without great expense be developed. It seems safe to assume that great water power can be secured, comparatively cheap, at various points on Vancouver Island. Particularly is this the case in the northern part of the Island. ���������o��������� . - Agricultural Wealth. ' Agricultural development on Vancouver Island must be very great in the immediate future. Tracts of land will each year be cleared and put into crops if railway facilities are" given to certain sections that nOw find valuable farm lands too far froni markets. Included in farming stock raising is becoming a marked feature in Island development. High grade3 of cattle are being raised from inported stock, and thc butter and cheese of Vancouver Island is now well known for its high grade. Hunting and Fishing. The big game of Vancouver Island has not been hunted extensively and is abundant in certain sections. Deer and other four-footed game is found in all parts of the Island. Ducks, geese, pheasants, grouse and quail are to be found in season in numbers that gladden the heart of the hunter. With the development that will result front the extension of the lines of the E. & N. Railway, North. Vancouver Island will increase its wealth many fold. Mines will be opened and other natural .sources of wealth -how valueless, will, with transportation, soon prove to the world that as a whole there is ho other part of the rich Province of British Columbia that can equal Vancouver Island. Mining. .-In connection with the mineral developments of the Island, it must be understood that only"during the past five years has any attempt lit metal mining been made on a large scale. - On the west coast of the Island, beginning at East Sook, mineraj has been found and small shipments made from San J uan, iPor-t '-Renfrew,' Alberni, Uchueklesit, Clayoquoit,- kennedy Lake, Tafcrno Inlet, [(Deer Creek), Bed weel Sound, (Bear; River), Trout River, Clayoquoit S^ound, Sidney Inlet^J. Ahousett, Ahatlasett, Nootka, Kyuquot and Quatsinoj while in the-middle of the Island at Central lake a large deposit of mineral has recently been discovered, " The schist beds lying to the'spilth of the coal measures and comjnpnly known as the Mt, Sicker schist belt,; extends from Mt. Sicker up to .the Nanaimo Lakes which has been opened and worked at seven points,; a distance of 40 miles: . Namely, Mt.! Sicker, Mt, Brenton, ChcmainusJ Ma- juba, Rhlnehardt, Nanaimo. Lakes, and Englishmans River. Owing to thc fact that the land is heavily timbered, prospecting is necessarily slow aird expensive, great importance must be attached to the cutting of trails inland from the railroad. As the result of such a trail, three years ago, from Ladysmith '6. miles out, several mineral' locations' ji^vfi" bfen made in 'that' "vicinity, \\\- ciuding tiip Majuba, and extending west to t-he Rhinchardt and Nanai= Lakes property, It would appear to be of the first importance to cut trails in order to open up the country to the prospector. The opening up of this mineral belt and the development of the mineral claims 'will follow the construction of a branch road, and the route from Mt. Sicker and Mt. Brenton up the Chemainus valley appears the most feasible as it would follow along the line of the claims mentioned to the Nanaimo Lakes, on to and including Alberni. It is stated that the Nanaimo Lakes properties have large showings of ore and would undoubtedly make producing mines with railroad I SYNQPSJS OF REQ UL ATIONS FOR DISPOSAL OF MINERALS.

This morning's Herald, says of itself very complacently: "The Herald was the only paper in the Province that reported the wreck of the barge Georgian yesterday morning. Further news corroborates the details of the Herald story, but it is hoped by careful management to save the machinery and care." The Ladysmith Ledger gave a complete story of the wreck of the Georgian in its issue of Thursday, Mar. -23rd.; on Friday, Mar. 24th., the Herald sprung its "Exclusive news," and today, Saturday, it is crowing over it. DUGDALE IN LINE. Bellingham papers say: According to agreement, D. E. Dugdale arrived irr this city last night and a conference was held with the local trustees of (he baseball team. "We have decided to pay no more attention to the east-of.thc-mouiitaiii cities, as far as a six-team league is concerned," said President lladley. "We now have what we belie0 is natural league territory. Transportation, at a minimum, every city in thc league can be reached either by boat or (rain. Thc Northwest League, such as we have arranged, lias for years been- a hobby of Dugdale, and if he accepts (he offer we believe'' we will have (he best manager Lhat can be secured. At first we thought of asking him to take $1000 in stock, but later came to the conclusion that it would be belter to make another proposition lo hinr which we did last night. A .Meeting will be held at Everett Saturday and forfeit mousy will be placed in the bank.

Ladysmith, March 2,"i To Sporting Editor: Dear Sir,���������In last night's issue of jour valuable paper, I find a letter under the head of "Sunday Aniuse- .nenl," in which thc writer, who sign 'lim-self as the "Lover of Mm," -ays it is agreed that a ccrlain amount of recreation is necessary." I am glad to read lhat part, and 1 (, is about the only thing of any sense I- see in his letter. We all like sport of some kind, and I suppose if is outdoor sport our "friend" refer-: 10. Now, in the winter mo.i/.is, how are we going to get our recrea-1 , . ...... , .,,������.. c< 1 ti Hopkins institution has become. tion withoip playing on .Sunday. It is daik al five o'clock, so to play after we come home from work is impossible. Then, again, we cannot lay ofi work every time there is a game, for it would be as much os our job is worth. What then i.*> -.!.e best, and only thing lo do? .Vhy; play on Sunday, of course. If our religious friend worked in mine he would sec how unfair his letter reads. Again, if we are religiously inclined, we have, plenty of time to go to church in the morning or evening and play in-the afternoon. Is it not just as well that you stay on your own side, of the dogs so rapidly that Cana/'a care to be annixed, in fact, we do not quite see how we carr spare, just yet, a considerable number or oru i.,un .mil women past eighty. We believe tha.t thc laigest fees paid to lawyers and phjsiciuns come frequently after the age at which this doctor would have their, killed. In a recent case a Boston lawyer at about seventy rereived a fee of a hundred thousand dollais for wise y advising and securing the settlement of, a lawsuit which, in '.he ha ids of younger lighting men, 1- ir-ht have been kept in our courts for years, t.i the great sorrow of ;11 j allies c-on- ceiiied. It is often intcresjing to know the birthplaces of great -lisco'.ereis. so taking down our "Willi's Who in America" we find tihut Dr. Osier en ne t j us from a small town in Canada. Some years ago a prominent Englishman said, eithor in Pailiamcnl. or out, that thc only 'good thing En- glan ' ever got from Canada was the "Canadian Boat Song," and that began with "row, brotheis, icw." This Canadian doctor seems to have gotten up, through the newspapers, quire a row among our elderly cc rigid much -and other elderly people by pr.-i osing to have all men (and we si.ppo.'C women) past sixty chloroformed and the world rid of them, and so has secured for himself (con- trarj to the rules of his profession) a fiee,advertisement almost equal to Lyrlia Pinkham's and which will likely stick to him until h V'rsolf shall be chloroformed at.
