Annual Report of the Literary and Debating Society from Oct. 1908 to Mar. 1909 l The executive committee of the '��� Literary and Debating Society met at the home of Mr. Lancaster on Thursday, the 17th inst, for the purpose of closing the | business of the society for the present season. The spring has opened up so suddenly that those interested in the society are extremely busy, the result being that it is impossible to hold any further meetings this season. Again, L. C. Barnes' hall has been closed to public meetings since the end of February. Although we have not had so many debates as last season, those we have had have been well attended, which fact shows that they have been appreciated; and we think that the subjects debated upon compare very favorably with those of any previous year. The society has had only one concert at which a collection has been taken, the result being that the amount standing to its credit is slightly smaller than that of last year. The committee wish to take this opportunity of thanking all those who have helped to make this season's meetings a success, and we look forward to those of next season being more successful than those of any previous ye?.r.

I have caught a great many, have tried poisoning and shooting them, but not with much success. The best success I have is trapping them and it never fails. My method is to use the common snap steel rat trap, costing ten cents each. Find a new mound, take a spade and dig down to his runway and follow the hole until you come to where his runway parts; this will be about two feet, for it is never over two feet from the new mound. Set the trap at this intersection and fasten it, sprinkle a little dust or dirt over it, cover the hole with a piece of board or | tin and then put dirt over this so not the least bit of light enters. It never fails to catch them. Set a dozen traps and in the morning you will have a dozen gophers. I have caught fifty in this way in four days on eight acres of alfalfa. I would be pleased to answer or give any information to any one on this subject. Some times the gophers will burry the trap and fill the hole with dirt. Just clean it out and reset the trap, and it will only need a few efforts until he is caught." How much timber is there in Canada? A recent estimate gives six hundred billion feet. This seems an enormous quanity, but it would last a very short time if Canada were generally drawn upon for a timber supply; at their present rate of consumption the United States alone would consume that quanity in about fifteen years. As matter of fact few reliable data exist from which it is possible to estimate Canada's forest resources. Even the number of acres of timberland in this conutry is not known with any degree of accuracy, and even the experts disagree widely, though they unite in placing it considerably below former estimates. The present is just the time for Canada to "take stock" of of her timber resources, not to mention her natural wealth. Her natural resources have not yet been dissipated to very large extent, and if Canadians now secure an estimate of their wealth in natural resources, they can, by economical use of then, avoid much of the waste such as other nations have made. For many years the United States has lavishly distributed its national wealth. But during the past few years thoughtful men in that nation have begun to see that they must economize. As a result, after a conference of governors of the several states, scientific experts, leaders in commerce and transportation and others, in May last, President Roosevelt appointed a ' 'conservative Commission" to make a thorought investigation of the national resources contained in the forests, the mines, the soil and the streams (both for water- supply and for transportation). The commission has since then been at work, and during the second week of December reported at a meeting similar to the preceding their appointment. In order to afford a fair chance for the economical administration of Canada's forests, a similar inventory of her timber wealth should be made. Present ideas of the amount of timber in the Dominion are based almost entirely on reports of those who have traveled along the chief waterways. Men who have gone in some distance from the streams report that the timber becomes much smaller and more scattered as one gets away from the river. This is the case, indeed, in all forests. What is needed is a systimatic exDloration of the whole unexplored region, (the country at a distance from streams as well as that along the water-courses) by men familiar with the work of estimating timber. Full and accurate reports of such explorations will serve to clear up much misconception reguarding the extent and amount of Canada's forest land, just as the exploration made in Northern Ontario in 1900 cleared up the ideas formerly held as to the value of Ontario's hinterland.

However, Canada is old enough and rich enough to look after the defense of her own coasts, and should do so as Australia has decided to do. The time will come when the foreign trade of Canada will warrant her contributing towards the support of the navy of the empire, but when that time comes another question will be involved, that of representation in the imperial parliament. Under a system of imperial federation, every part of the empire would contribute toward the support of the navy for every part would then have a voice in the control of that navy.

"Hut I must see him." she insisted. "It's wbnt brought me here. I Oil j don't understand." As they stepped outside the door of an adjacent cabin opened, framing an lingular, sharp featured woman, who, cinching sight of llie girl emerging from (ilenisier's stateroom, paused, with shrewdly narrowed eyes flashing quick, malicious glances from one to the other, 'ihey came later to reineiu- liur with regret thin chance encounter, for it was fraught witli grave results for them both. "Good evening. Mr. Glenlster," the lady said, with acid cordiality. "Howdy, Mrs. Chnmpiau?" He moved away. She followed a step, staling at Helen. "Are you going ashore tonight or wait for morning?" "Don'l know yet. I'm sure." Then aside to the girl he muttered, "Shake her; she's spy. lug ou us." "Who Is she?" asked Miss Chester a moment later. "Her husband manages one of the big companies. She's nu old cat." Gaining her lirst view of the land, the girl cried out sharply. They rode oil au oily sea tinted like burnished copper, while ou all sides, amid th,' faint rattle and rumble of machinery, scores of ships were belching cargoes out upon living swarms of scows, tugs. stern wheelers and dories. Here and there Eskimo oomiaks, fat. walrus hide boats, slid about like huge, many legged water bugs. An endless, antlike stream of tenders, piled high with freight, plied to aud from the shore. A mile distuut lay the city, stretched like a white ribbon between the gold of the ocean sand and the dun of th; moss covered tundra. It was like no other In the world. At first glance It seemed all made of new white canvas-, lu a week its population had swelled from 3.000 to 30.000. It now wandered iu a slender, sinuous line along tins coast for miles, because only the beach afforded dry camping ground. Mount ing to tlie bank behind, one sank knee deep In moss and water and. treading twice in the same tracks, found a bog of oozing, icy mud. Therefore as the towu doubled daily in size, it grew endwise like u string of dominoes till the shore from Cape Nome to Penny river was a long reach of white, glinting In the low rays of the arctic sunset like foamy breakers on a tropic island. "That's Anvil creek up yonder." said Olenlster. "There's where the Midas lies. See!" He indicated a gap in the buttress of mountains rolling back from the coast. "It's the greatest creek iu the world. You'll sec gold by the mule load and hillocks of nuggets. Oh. I'm glad to get back. This is life. That stretch of bench Is full of gold. These hills are seamed with quartz. The bedrock of tbat creek is yellow. There's gold. gold, gold everywhere- more than ever was in old Solomon's mines���and there's mystery and peril and tilings unknown." "I.et us make haste," said the girl. "I have something I must do tonight After that I can learn to know these things." Securing a small boat, they were rowed ashore, the partners plying their ferryman with eager questions. Having arrived live days before, he was exploding witli information and volunteered the fruits of his ripe experience till Dextry stated that they were "sour doughs" themselves and owned the Midas, whereupon Miss Chester marveled at the awe which sat upon the man and the wondering stare with which he devoured the partners, to her own utter exclusion. "SuD'erin' cats! Look at the freight!" ejaculated Dextry, "If a storm come up. It would bust the community!" 'Ihe beach they nciired was walled nnd crowded to tlie high tide mark with ramparts of merchandise, while every incoming craft deposited Its (junta upon whatever vacant foot was close at hand till bales, boxes, hollers and baggage of nil kinds were confusedly Intermixed lu the narrow space, Singing longshoremen trundled burdens from the lighters nud piled them on the heap, while yelling, cursing crowds fought over It all. selecting, sorting, loading.

"You know It!" the other cried col- loquially. "There was a massacre in the Northern last night." "Gnmbllu' row?" "Yep. 'Tinhorn' called Mlssou done It." "Sho!" said Dextry. "I know him. He's a bnd aclor." All three men nodded sagely, and the girl wished for further light, hut they volunteered uo explanation, Leaving the skiff, Ihey plunged into turmoil. Dodging through tlie tangle, ihey came out into fenced lots where tents stood wall lo wall and every inch wns occupied. Here and there wus a vacant spot guarded jealously by its owner, who gazed sourly upon all men with the forbidding eye of suspicion. Finding an eddy in the co.ifuslon, the men stopped. "Where do you want to go?" they nsked Miss Chester. There was uo longer in Glenlster'a glance that freedom with which he had come to regard the women of the north. He had come to realize dully thnt here was a girl driven by some strong purpose Into a position repellent lo her. In a man of his type her independence awoke only admiration, and her coldness served but to inflame him the more. Delicacy in Olenlster was lost in �� remarkable singleness of purpose, He could laugh nt her loathing, smile under her abuse nnd remain Utterly ignorant Hint anything more thnn his action in seizing her that night lay nt the bottom of her dislike. He did not dream that he possessed characteristics abhorrent to her, and he felt n keen reluctance nt parting. She extended both bands. "I can never thank you enough for whnt you have done���you two���but 1 shnll try. Goodby!" Dextry gazed doubtfully at his own hand, rough and guaiiy, then Inking hers as he would have handled a robin's egg waggled it limply. "We nin't goin' to turn you adrift thls-a-wny. Whatever your destination Is. we'll see you to It." "I can find my friends," she assured him. "This is tlie wrong latitude in which to dispute a lady: but. knowin' this camp from soup to nuts, as I do. I su'- gests a male escort." "Very well. I wish to find Mr. Struve of Dunham & Struve, lawyers." "I'll take you to their offices," said Olenlster. "You see to the baggage, Dex. Meet me nt the Second Class in half nn hour, nnd we'll run out to the Midas." They pushed through the tnu- gle of tents, past piles of lumber and emerged upon the main thoroughfare, which ran parallel to tbe shore. Nome consisted of one narrow street, twisted between solid rows of canvas aud half erected frame buildings, its every other door lhat of a saloon. There were fair looking blocks which aspired to the dizzy height of three stories, some sheathed lu corrugated iron, others gleaming nnd galvanized. Lawyers' signs, doctors', surveyors', were lu the upper windows. The street was thronged with men from every land. Helen Chester heard more dialects than she could count. Laplanders in quuiut three cornered padded caps idled past. Men with the tan of the tropics rubbed elbows with yellow haired Norsemen, and near l.er a carefully groomed Frenchman with riding breeches and monocle was ',n tauto- mlme with a skin clad Kskimo. To her left was the sparkling sea. alive with ships of every class. To her right towered timberless mountains, unpeopled, unexplored, forbidding and desolate, their hollows Inlaid with snow. On one hand were tlie life and the world she knew, on the other silence, mystery, possible adventure. The roadway where she stood was a crush of sundry vehicles from bicycles to dog hauled wnter carts, nnd on all sides men were laboring busily, tlie echo of hammers mingling with tbe cries of teamsters and the tinkle of music within the saloons. "And this Is midnight!" exclaimed Helen breathlessly. "Do they ever rest?" "There Isn't time. This Is n gold stampede. You haven't caught the spirit of It yet." They climbed the stairs In a huge Iron sheeted building to the office of Dunlin in &- Struve. nnd In answer to their knock a red faced, white haired, tousled mnn In shirt sleeves and stocking feet opened the door. "What d'ye wan'?" be bawled, his i��gs wavering uncertainly. His eyes were heavy and bloodshot, his lips loose, nnd his whole person exhaled alcoholic fumes like n gust from a still house. Hanging lo the knob, he strove vainly to solve the mystery of his suspenders, hiccoughing intermittently. "Humph! Been drunk ever since I left?" questioned Glenlster. "Somebody mus' have tol' you." the lawyer replied. There wus neither curiosity, recognition nor resentment in his voice. In fact, his head drooped wo that he paid no attention to the girl, who had shrunk back at sight of 'dm. He wns a young man. with murks of brilliancy showing through 'he dissipation betrayed by his silvery lull" nnd coarsened features. "Oh. ! don't know whnt to do," la- ncnted the glii. "Anybody else here besides you?" iskcd her escort of the lawyer. "No. I'm runnln' the law business linsslsted.

He's in no condition to act on any Important matter. You come around tomorrow when he's sober." "it menus so much." breathed the girl. "The beast!" Olenlster noted that she hnd not wrung her bunds nor eveu hinted nt tenrs, though plainly her disappoint uient and nnxlety were consuming her. "Well. 1 suppose I'll hnve to wait, but 1 don't kuow where to go���souk hotel. I suppose." "There aren't nn.v. They're bulldim: two. but tonight you couldn't hire a room In Nome for money. 1 wns nbout to sny 'love or money.' Have you no other friends here���no women? Then you must let ir.e find n place for you I hnve u friend whose wife will tnke you In." She rebelled ut tills. Was she nevei to hnve done with this man's favors': She thought of returning to the ship. but dismissed that. She undertook to decline his aid, but he was halfway down the stairs and pnld no attention to her beginning���so she followed him. It was then that Helen Chester witnessed her first tnr-edy of the frontier and through It came to know better the mnn whom she disliked and with whom she had been thrown so fateful ly. Already she hud thrilled at the spell of this country, but she had not learned that strength nnd license carry blood and violence ns corollaries. Emerging from the doorway at the foot of the stnirs. they drifted slowly nlong the walk, watching the crowd Besides the universal tension, there were laughter and hope nnd exhllnra tion In the faces. The enthusiasm of this boyish multitude warmed one. The girl wished to get into this spirit- to be one of them. Then suddenly from the bnbble nt their elbows enme a discordant note, not long nor loud, only a few words, penetrating und harsh witli the metallic quality lent by passion. Helen glanced over her shoulder to find that the smiles of tlie throng were gone nnd thnt its eyes were bent on pome scene in tlie street with an eager interest she had never seen mirrored before. Simultaneously Glenlster spoket "Come nway from here." Witli the quickened eye of experience he foresaw trouble und tried to drug her on. but she shook off his grasp impatiently and. turning, gnzed absorbed nt the spectacle which unfolded Itself before her. Although not comprehend ing tlie play of events, she felt vague ly the quick approach of some crisis. yet was unprepared for the swiftness with which it came. Her eyes hud leaped to the figures of two men in the street from whom the rest hiid separated like oil from water One wns slim nnd well dressed, the otherimlky. mncklunwed aud lowering of feature. It wns the smaller who spoke, and for a moment she mi Judged his bloodshot eyes and swaying carriage to he the result of alcohol until she snw that he wus racked with fury "Make good. I tell you. quick! Give me that bill of snle. you ." The unkempt mnn swung on his heel with u growl und walked away, his course lending him toward Glenlster nnd the girl. With two strides he wus abreast of them; then, detecting the flushing movement of the other, he whirled like a wild animal. His voice bud the snarl of a beast in it. "Ye hud to have it. didn't ye? Well. there!" The actions of both men were quick as light, yet to the girl's taut senses they seemed theatrical and deliberate. Into her mind was seared forever the memory of that second ns though tlie shutter of a camera hnd snapped, impressing upon her bruin the scene. sharp, clear cut nnd vivid. The shaggy hack of the large man almost brush lug her. the rage drunken, white shirt- ed man In the derby hat, tlie crowd sweeping backward like rushes before a blast, men with arms flexed and feet raised In flight, the glaring yellow sign of the "Gold Belt Dunce Hall" across tlie way���these were stamped upon her retlnn. nnd then she was jerked violently backward, two strong arms crushed her down upon her knees against the wall, and she was smoth ered lu tlie arms of Roy Olenlster. "My Ood! Dou't move! We're In Hue!" He crouched over her. his cheek against her hulr, his weight forcing her down Into the smallest compass, his arms about her, his body forming a living shield against the flying bullets. Over them the big man stood, nnd the sustained roar of his gun was deafening. In nu Instant they henrd the thud and felt the Jar of lead In the thin hoards against which they huddled. Again the report echoed above their heads, nnd they saw the slender mnn In the street drop his weapon und spin hull' round ns though lilt with some heavy hand. He uttered a cry nnd. stooping for Ids gun. plunged forward, burying Ids fuce In the sund. The mnn by t;', dster's side shouted curses thickly or ' walked toward his prostrate enent;.

"Pretty tough go for a 'cheechuko.' I'm afraid you ain't gettin' enamoured of this here country u whole lot." For half nn hour he talked to her In his whimsical way of foreign things till she was quieted. Then the partners arose to go.
