The party will then return to Robson and take special steamers for Arrowhead. arriving there July 17. The train of (he party will be brought round from Kootenay Landing to Arrowhead, and tin' mining men will eutmiii there for Vancouver, arriving on July is. A special steamer will be at that port to receive the excursionists, and will transport them toSktlgway, where the White Pass will have special trains to siiry them to White Horse, and spe- liul steamers will be waitim* to take Whether the timber lauds surround* Ing the Littlo Slocan are tinder iv reserve or not, is a question that is at present attracting much attention. The territory has always been supposed to lie embraced within ths* land granl of the Columbia .-»• Western railway and no notice of its cancellation has yet appeared, The reserve presumably covers also ah land to the Kootenay lake. Despite this, however, the government has accepted applications to purchase and pre-empt lands right along, though apparently denying limber leass-s. For some tinm past there has exist- a'd much uncertainty about the validity of tin' supposed reserve and a determined effort is now being unlde to test the question. Locations of timber have been made in the territory east of Slocan river,and a glance at the advertising columns of The Drill will ti'll what is being done on the west side in the Little Slocan country. ln the latter ss*ction there is a large area of magnificent timber of all kinds, and it has been long and ar* deutly covi'ted. Local parties have ivpeat-'dlv staked the ground, only to be told it was not open to location. Interested parties all over the country have had their optics on that timber, but not till within the last few days has a firm move lieen made to acquire possession. J. II. Christie, of Ross- i.ind. acting for parti.is in that citv.on '.110*221)11 and 28rd of March, staked 10 square miles of the laud along the Little Sloean river and take, embracing die pick of the timber. Two sets of local parties have also staked land out there, including portions, if not all. the ground claimed by the Boas- landers. From thi' above it will be seen that there is some fun ithead.nnd the lands it works department is up against it. Probably they will cover themselves by declaring the (.". st W. reserve still bmding.thea proclaim its cancellation in the regular way. That would pro cipitate a general scramble, in which the early bird would get the worm. The Ottawa has struggled hard all week to get its ow down so as to send out a car, but the soft roads have prevented it. There is therefore another blank to record for the week.

The Parker cure is only one of many of which we can furnish proofs. A Ssjii-silislKI's Press'i-I|stisiii. " The troubles in these cures have been made by what is termed a ' patent medicine.' Hud they been made by a physician in the regular way, and thut physiciun had been able to tell exactly how he brought them about, they would have been talked of learnedly from one end of the country to the other. But when people tnlk about our cures there is a tendency to say, ' Oh that is only a patent medicine advertisement.' " They forget that Dodd's Kidney Pills are thc life work of a doctor. That they have been uniformly successful in treating all diseases of the Kidneys, and that the only feature in which they differ from regularly sMitniiu-sl medical advice is thut the prescription of a specialist is given the public at popular urices. Nfli Kiii.in for Doubt. " Now, you have seen the particulars in the Parker case. Nobody can doubt for an instant thut that was a veritable case of the ' incurable ' Bright's Disease, neither can anyone doubt that the cure was effected by Dodd's Kidney Pills aird by no other agency. Of course, it took time und perseverance ; but the patient was in the last stages of the disease hsj- fore she started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. Had she started sooner thc work would have been easier end the n*sults would have been obtained treme case and took time." " You know of other casss of Bright's Disease that have been cur- , able and all carefully investigated und attested to by reliable people. Surely you would think that as doctors can give no hope to those threatened with this terrible disease, there should be no hesitancy in giving Dodd's Kidns-y Pills a trial.

Every person breathes easier in •Southeastern British Columbia with the settlement of the Fernie strike. Peace is assured for two years. Tardy justice is lieing done the province by the Ottawa government. A bill has Ix'en introduced increasing the Chinese head tax to $500, which will practically exclude the Mongolians. Sir Wilfrid Laurier says he has tho assuraiice that the supply of Japs has also boon shut off i;y the Mikado. That Vancouver election was not without results. Ralph Smith, having taken time to size up the situation in British Columbia, has announced that he is not seeking the leadership of the provincial Liberals, and has so given a rebuff to the Vancouver soreheads. Ralph is gaining in wisdom. It must not be imagined, however, that the breach in the Liberal ranks is healed; not a bit of it. The machine will not down so easily. So long as Joe Martin is in politics ho will meet with opposition. Another milestone has been passed in the career of The Drill and, with this issue, it enters upon the fourth year of its existence. Slocan has had other pajiers, but none of its predecessors suc«»txied in reaching the mature years of The Dbill. a fact worthy of note. Whether or not the paper will ripen iuto a sturdy old age, the future alone knows, but, one thing certain, it will not yield up the ghost whilo there is an even chance for an existence. It rises or falls with the destinies of the town. From the outset tho paper has had a clean record, no recriminating personalities or petty vindictivoness finding lodgment in its columns. It has stood by the lx*st interests of the camp and town and its owner has the satisfaction of knowing that his efforts in that respect have b-en appreciated. Of late evil times have befallen the country, resulting in ;t curtailment of the earning capacity of the paper, but brighter days are ahead anil it will come again to its own. Thero are those, perhaps, who could do more for their town's welfare by patronizing the printer, but it must come of their own free will, as coercion will never Imi attempted. Others again have stood loyally by Tub Drill from the first, and they have ye editor's heartfelt thanks. The paper has been a direct financial lienefit to the town, for, not only has the revenue derived locally found its way back ngnin among the I tradespeople, but much more from outside sources. And just here let it be said The Drill cannot exist on a pittance. It deserves support from every section of tlie cotnuiuuity and! has a right to expect it. But a*, in the past, so in the future: this paps.r will always be found advocating and encouraging those thij,'-s which ts'tnl to benefit the camp. It will stand for no dictation, but will aesvpt advice willingly and thankfully. All it asks is fair play and prompt payment of its bills. The citizens have pride in their town and, undoubtedly, will gladly support what is to them the chief f.i" tor in keeping Slocan liefore the outside world, Tin: Drill. DRILL POINTS.
