"THEY'RE COMING TO 8HA8E" OUR SMALLER SHE. Some things begin small and grow bigger. Such are babies nml western towns and kittens and bad habits and dog tights nnd a Sunday school the month before a picnic. Other things begin big nnd grow smaller. This second catalogue includes a hungry man's dinner, nnd woollen underwear, and the passenger list on the witter wagon, aud the hope of becoming a millionaire, and, for tbe time being. The Chase Tribune. In growing smaller the Tribune hopes to grow better, like maple syrup when it is boiled down, or like some well known liquids when tbey are distilled. It is just getting down to lighting weight; nothing is cut off except what is. superfluous. Country weeklies often carry much valuless matter and spread their news out by the use of large type, all to gratify the foolish demand for a big pnpor. In its reduced form the Tribune will not be quite so valuable for starting fires with, bnt in other respects it will be as good as ever, And tbe cold weather is about over for this winter nuyway. Before tlie thermometer gets below zero again we may have returned to the eight page sine. THE LUMBER INDUSTRY. People who are not in the business have little knowledge of the conditions under which the industry is carried on, Many would be surprised to learn wbat. a small margin of profit there is on tbe product, or that certain grades of lumber are manufactured at a loss that -.�����*i*t be made good by the sale of the high class lines. Frequently u mar'*buys for his building lumber thnt cost the manufacturer half as much again ns the consumer pays for it. When a mill abuts down it us- nallv means that for that particular mill the cost of getting logs ont and cutting them iB ns much as or more than what can be got for the product on the market. It is plain, therefore, that n seemingly slight change in any one condition affecting the industry may make the difference between pro- tit and loss for many mills. The partial demoralizing of the market by the dumping nf the lower grades of American lumber on the prairie provinces has had the result of making the cut of the interior mills much lesB during the past year than it was for tho year previous. An increase of the royalty on timber from fifty dents to a dollar per thousand is almost sure to close some of the mills. This is more serious for the interior than for tbe coast mills. The stnmpage value here is not so great as it 1b on the coast for the timber is not so sound nor so heavy. That fact should warrant some variation in the timber regulations in favor of the areas east of the Const Range, The lumber industry is and must be one of tbe mainstays of the prosperity of British Columbia. At present it is carrying heavy burdens and suffers from a lack of the protection tbat is granted to other manufacturing industries in the Dominion. If relief does not come or if additional taxes make the load still heavier it will be difficult to s��- cure tbe necessary capital and credit to keep the industry alive nt many points in the interior v* here it now flourishes. 1000 NEWS FROM IERMMY. For European pence nothing is more essential than the putting of an end to the mutual suspicions nf Greal Britain and Germany, which have burdened both countries with the tremendous cost of an enormous and needless navy. Hritian determined to maintain its navy equal in strength to any twp other navies, while Germany, which claimed the most powerful army in Europe, scorned to plan also a navy equal to that of Great Britain. * i Great Britain has for years been trying to persuade Germany to nn understanding as to a limit,of expansion, bnt nothing has, until this last, week, come of it. A year ago Winston Churchill, First Lord nf the Admiralty, proposed tbat an agreement should be made by which the two navies sl.onld he kept at tbe ratio,of sixteen for Great Britain to ten for Germanv'; and now the indications are that Germany will accept the agreement. Admiral yon Tirpitz, the Naval Secretary, had a meeting last week with tbe budget committee of the Reichstag, discussing with great secrecy the naval estimates, and the semi-official report represents bim as saying that n " sensible agreement" as to the respective strength of the two navies was "something to be welcomed." On the next day he referred directly to Winston Churchill's proposal of the ratio of sixteen to ten. nnd said, ns reported, that from the German standpoint there need be no misgivings as to the maintenance of snch.a standard between the two conn tries. . German Bnd English jonrnnls receive this as nearly equivalent to a definite agreement aud hail it with great satisfaction. Possibly a de cision on the part of Germany to accept the agreement may come from the fact that, she has no colonies that can support her navy as has Great Britain,. Canada and Australia and South Africa are bound to grow rapidly in strength, and their decision to build dreadnoughts of their own will bring, in case of war, additional strength to Great Britain with which Germany, with her expensive army, could not compete. If this intimation from Germany proves true it will be another great occasion for credit to Mr. ABqnith's Cabinet.���The Independent. ��mnnrtc MEM. The following poem written' by Bud yard Kipling of tbe world's ail venturers lienmies timely as the* fate of Captain Scott and hia com pnninns fills the public mind. To these who are uLiinsed of base Desire. Sorrow and Lust aud Shame Gods, for they knew the heartfof men, men for they stooped to Fame, Borne on tbe brentb thnt men call Death, my brother's spirit came. He scarce had heed to doff his pride or slough the dross of Earth, E'en as he trod that day to God so walked he from his birth, In simpleness and gentleness and honor nnd clean mirth. So cup to lip in fellowship they gave him welcome high, And made him place at the banquet board- the strong men ranged thereby. Who had done his work nnd held his peace nnd had no fear tpdie. Beyond the loom of the last lone star, through open darkness hnrlod Further than rebel oometdnred or hiving star-swarm swirled, Sits he with those that praise onr God for that they served His world.

M. A. Peel of Penintan was down Ptitchard way Saturday and Sunday. W. P. Pritchard made a trip to Kamloops on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. J, Christian drove to Chase on Saturday last. Robt. -egget, Ernest Edwards and Howard Ross were Ducks callers on Saturday last. Mr. R. Bell of Penintan spent a day in Pritchard the latter part of lut week. Mr. Bell is on hia way to Vancouver, where he Intends visiting with his daughter. Several Pritchardites ' attended the masked dance at Chase on Friday lut and report a good crowd and a fine time. It is with regret we hear of the departure from Chue of Edward Jolliffe. He wu well known in this community, was respected by all who knew him and loved by several. With the wind blowing down river for the past week the ice is now unsafe for crossing with loaded sleighs.. This is the time of year when a bridge would be of great value to the ranchers on the north side of the river and may our prayers soon be answered. In the last issue we stated that Mr. R. H. Brett was receiving a visit from his brother of Regina, Sask., but we regret to say that the statement wu an error. Mr. Brett wu to have arrived on the evening train from Vaji_oaV" eVon Wednfisitey ,af. lut week'"but u sickness had occurred in his family in the east he wu not able to stop off u he had planned. A serious accident wu narrowly a- verted on Friday last when a team owned by Marscelle Dellenie, which wu standing in front of Mrs. J. T. Hutch- eson.s store made.a break for freedom and ran across the railroad just u the noon pusenger train wu coming a- long. The engineer stopped the train but not before the engine had struck the horses and thrown them into the ditch, cutting them about the head and inflicting several other flesh wounds. Although the latest reports Bey the horses suffered no serious injury, it was a narrow escape and we congratulate Mr. Delleuie on the accident resulting in so little damage. With the lateness of nearly all af the west bound trains great inconvenience is felt by the travelling public who sometimes h-ivr to sit for hours in the depot wnittng for a train that does not show up. Perhaps we are selfish humans down this way but the popular o- plnion is that if the C. P. R. can't run trains on time it should give us a station agent to eas'j tho suspense and let us know how long we have to wait. We'd like the earth with a fence around it but would be sa**i��Med with a station agent with a depot around him. As perseverance is supposed to win we'll not quit kicking till we get what we want, even if kicking doesn't agree with us. Notch Hill. (Received too late for lut week).
