The scarcity of ocean going tonnage, due to war conditions, is directing attention to the natural facilities possessed by British Coin moia for the Shipbuilding industry, and steps are being taken to establish it now on a firm basis in that province.

Dr. Arnott has been appointed School Health Inspector for this district. There are eleven schools in the territory which extends from Eholt to Anarchist Mountain. W. F. Eddy's store at Rock Creek was burned on Sunday evening. The loss is partly covered by insurance. Mr. Eddy was in Bridesville at the time of the fire. At the recent Patriotic Carnival the sum" of $113.50 was realized for the Patriotic Fund. An additional $16.40 was realized by the ladies from the sale of refreshments at the dance. The strike at the copper mines in Clifton, Arizona, is over. The miners at the present price of copper will receive $3.41 a day, much less than the scale in the Boundary. Laborers receive $2 50 a day at Clifton. The annual meeting of the Boundary Women's Institute will be held on Friday, January 28, at 3 p. m.. in the Guild Hall. Officers for the ensuing year are to be elected, and work for the year planned. A good attendance is requested. Bob McCurdy of Keremeos has enlisted with tbe 102nd, and is now a sergeant. He lost his right eye last May while in a bayonet charge at Festubert, but Bob is the kind of a man that you cannot keep away from the front, even if he has only one eye. Mail service has not yet been started On the Kettle Valley line, although it has been authorized by the railway mail department. The delay is due to the fact that the department has not y.t arranged contracts with mail carriers at the various points on the line to cover the carrying of mail between postoffices and railway stations. K. V. R. mail service will probably therefore not commence for another week or two yet. The sections from Midway to Princeton will be served first, with the portion from Princeton to Merritt coming in about April 1. Sam McConnell is still on crutches. He injured one of his legs in a bafler some weeks ago. Last Friday, Charles Kingzett was injured by a cavein, while working with Charles Gilmour on a Cranberry creek claim. It took seven men to pack him five miles to Carmi. He is now in the Greenwood hospital. His collar bone was broken, one leg broken in two places, in addition to other injuries. I. H. Hallett still continues his petty and vindictive attacks upon local institutions and people whom he imagines are in his way. The old man is hurting himself, and his friends should look after him, before spite drives him completely batty. By his foolish acts Hallett is becoming a public nuisance, and a thenace to the peace, progres, and prosperity of the city. Rock Creek At a recent Soldiers Circle entertainment, the candy booth presided over by Miss Bell realized $64. The quilt raffled by Miss Bell brought in $16. The Calico ball on the 2l8t was a decided success and realized $36.

Jones, a prospector and claim-owner of Alice Arm, is down from the Portland Canal district, The finest samples iti Mr. Jones' collection are from the Dolly Varden property, and consists of native silver, brittle silver and ruby silver. They were taken from a lead which was discovered about four years ago by Ole Pierson and associates, and bonded to a Chicago syndicate for $50,000. The syndicate includes some of the largest business interests of Chicago, including the Marshall Field estate. Final payment on the bond was made last year, after the purchasers had done considerable development work and prospecting by diamond drilling. It is claimed that the drills have demonstrated rich ore in large quantities, but this has to be opened up by rjaeans of tunnels and shafts before it can be extracted. The Dolly Varden is located near Kitsault River, about sixteen miles from the head of Alice Arm, which is the each branch of Portland Canal, A well-defined lead has been opened up by surface cots and preliminary tunnels. The owners in the Fpring will construct a wagon road to tha property from salt water, so that machinery can be taken in and systematic development started, as well as ore shipments commenced. Running at nearly right angles to the strike of the Dolly Varden, and located abont three miles further np the river, is another extremely high grade silver property which is owned by Don Cameron and associates. The ore in the two properties is very similar in character. Mr. Cameron has bouded this property to the Chicago swners of the Dolly Varden, Alice Arm is noted among Vancouver mining men as being the home of the largest copper lead of whieh they have knowledge. This was discovered by Mr. Cameron while he was on a fishing trip up the Kitsault. With the construction next year of a wagon road up the Kitsault, development work on this property will be initiated.��� Vancouver Province. Western Float Northport wants another smelter. There are 568 telephones in Nelson. There are over 13,000 postoffices in Canada. Judge Forin held court in Cres. ton this week. There is work for more ore teams at Chesaw. Many cougars are being killed in the Hope mountains. Paddy O'Shea of Burton City died in Nakusp last week. A gold tooth was recently found in a chicken at Ashcroft. There are 103 telephones in Trail, and 245 in Rossland. There will be a Ski tournament in Revelstoke, Feb. 8 and 9. This winter the street cars are not running in Three Forks. Bill Palmer died in Revelstoke from drinking wood alcohol. A. Okell of Creston has gone to the Old Mans Home at Kamloops. The Feruie-Fort Steele Brewing Co. is in the hands of a liquidator. In a short time Henry Nicker- son will open a general store at Mapes. John Mclnnis is addressing political meetings in the Fort George district. T. T. Mecredy of Cranbrook, and S. Banwell have opened a law office in Fernie. Charles Atchinson is running a new tunnel, on his mineral claim near Myncaster. W. H. Bohannan, founder of the Revelstoke Review died in San Diego this month. Mr. Ash of Fort Fraser trapped 39 _ foxes this season, clearing $2,000 onthe skins." ' In three days a carload of copper ore was taken out of the Gold Ax mine at Chesaw. In Phoenix it costs the Granby 85 cents a ton to mine, and at Hidden Creek $1.09. It is reported that a concentrator will be built on the Chat- away claims in Highland valley. James Monaghan died in Spokane, a short time ago. He was well-known in Camp McKinney years ago. Elk on the west Cascade slope have become a menace to farmers. They will have to kill them in self-defense. Cory Menhennick has closed a deal with Indiana capitalists for his mineral claims on Fish creek, in the Lardeau. In Enderby last week the residence of Rev. J. E. Dow was burned. His daughter Helen was burned to death. Work is being done on the Henderson copper claims, three miles from Merritt. The ore will be shipped to Tacoma. WThile walking from Vander- hoof to Hulatt, to be married to Mif-s Blench, Henry Nickerson had his feet severely frozen. Jesus Garcia died at Merritt this month. He came to B. C. in 1S5S, and had been ranching in the Nicola valley since 1S72. Wages are pretty low in some of the coal mines in the Crows Nest Pass. This has a tendency to keep the Austrians at work, and drive the white men into the army. George Meikle, publisher of the Reporter died in Natal last Week. At one time be was foreman of The Ledge when it was published in Fernie. J. L. Meikle of Grand Forks is a son. Curly Hart, the trapper, dropped dead in Fernie last week. A year ago he was stricken with rheumatic fever, and laid for 28 days in his cabin without food or fire. When the fever abated he crawled fonr miles tbrongb the snow when night overtook him. He was found the next morning by another trapper and packed to civilization. This terrible experience broke him down and brought on heart trouble.

There are foresters.whose vision ��� sticks in the woods and does not pierce through to the fact that the welfare of the people, not tho welfare of the community of trees, must be thfi aim of the forester's endeavor. Forests are only the medium through which he works. The most successful forester is the one whose life and work contribute most fully to the necessity, convenience aud pleasure of the greatest number of people, not necessary the one that grows the most wood per acre in-the shortest time. ���Dubois. vicinity were surprised to see come riding up the street^fiom the south a company of Coufederate horsemen. They wore uuarmed, their gray uniforms were worn, soiled and often tattered, their trappings old and patched, they wore slouch hats, and here aud there was a feather remaining of the once smart and jaunty drooping plume of the Confederate Cavalrymen, They were bronzed, browned Jand bearded. They sab erect and came on witli the splendid horsemanship for which they were noted. Upon the collars of some of the gray jackets could still be seen tho faded and tarnished gilt stars, the emblems of the wearer'? rank. , In front of them rode Lee. His two hands held the loosely swinging reins and rested upon the pommel. His head was bent and his eyes were looking straight ahead from uuder his downcast brow, but they seemed to see nothing. As the troops cantered up to hie old home his horse stopped at the gate and he aroused himself suddenly, as from a dream, and cast his eyes upon the familiar windows aud then around over the group of gallant soldiers who had followed his fortunes for four bloody years and gone clown in defeat under his banner. The end of it all had come at last. He threw himself from his horse, and all of his companions followed his action. They stood hat in hand, with an arm through the bridle rein, while Lee went from man to man, grasping each baud, looking intently into each face, as though he wonld impress it upon his memory forever. Then he turned and walked through the gate and up the steps to his door. As a servant opened the door he paused, with his left foot upon the veranda, his right upon the last step, and looked back for the last time. Not a word had been spoken not a good-bye uttered. There was no sound heard but that of sobs, as these unkempt and grizzled heroes of a hundred battles leaned their heads against the shoulders of their horses and wept. Lee gave one look and broke down at last. His hands were over, his eyes, his frame shook with sobs as he turned quickly and entered his lonely house. With the closing of the door behind him ended forever the dream of the Southern Confederacy. All Home Comforts A stranded but still haughty "leading lady" wbs obliged to put up at a dilapidated country hotel. She glanced frowningly about the office, reluctantly signed the register, and took the brass key from the proprietress. ' 'Is there water in my room?" she demanded. "Why, there was," replied the proprietress, "but I had the roof fixed."
