ADVERTISING SCALE  No one appears to hav6"~any clear  idea of- when the election's will take  place, but it is a fair guess that they  will come sometime in Jujy, probably rather early in the month. If  the voters' lists revised at the May  court of revision are to be used, and  that is fairly certain, the elections  cannot'be held before the end of  June. Many people expect that  they will be delayed until September,  or some other fail month, but such  a��boiirse on the part of the.govern!  ment is rather doubtful, and it would  seem at present as; if July was the  best guess.-        ' s    , -  If the Liberals prolong the sitting  of, the  House the   Legislature  will]  not be   dissolved   much   before the  end .of May, , although  insofar as  actual legislative   business   is   concerned, U might as well be   brought  to a1 close at the end of April.

From   the  moment  of its  production  at   the  LyVic theatre in London, the critics  were  unanimous  at  rehearsals.  in  predicting a failure for this  masterpiece,   the   unexpected    happened,  I and   Florodora  was  taken by   the  ' oublic to their hearts  as  no  other  musical comedy  has  ever  been   or  over has been since.    Its production  in New York was simply a  replica,  the critics deemed it  a  failure,   the  man on the street said "No, it must  live," and live it has.    The nyin responsible for the book of Florodora,  Owen Hall, was  nothing   it   not  a  humorist.    Even, his adopted  name  was the outcome of his  pecuniary  embarrassment.    Tradesmen's bills  and writs galore, appealed to him in  the choice   of his   name,    " 'OwUT  All," I do, so Owen Hail I am.  Leslie Stuart,, the composer of  Florodora, although responsible, for  the melodies w/hich made Eugene  Stratton a- high water mark in the  London vaudeville world, accompanied in Florodora something he  could not emulate; he set a standard  of melody which, it was'not possible,  for himself; or any other composer  to live up to.

Belief in the future high price of  the white metal is somewhat justified  in view of recent covert purchases  made by ^European and Asiatic  countries.  ��RisingXqst~of Paper   9   Increases in wages and sharp advances in the price of materials used  are given as two causes of rapid  rise in cost of paper manufacturing.  Many mechanics have left paper  factories to go and work in the  munition shops where the wages  paid are higher than those ordinarily  obtainable in the paper factories.  Acids used in manufacturing paper  have increased five times  in  value,  A new Hudson Bay steamer on the  Stickine river draws 1 to 11 inches  and gives a freight rate of $20 a ton  between Wrarigell and Telegraph  Creek.

To arrest rheumatism it is quite as important to improve your general health as  to purify your blood, and the cod liver  oil in Scott's Bmulsfon is nature's great  blood-maker, while its medicinal nourishment strengthens the organs to expel, the  impurities and ijpbuild your strength.

MARTIN BURRELL, Minister of Agriculture. ~  No Fetes On This Date  That on the occasion of the King's  birthday no dinners, reviews, salutes  or other celebrations shall be heid^  is the wish of His Majesty communicated tohis subjects in British  Colombia through the lieut.-governor in,this week's provincial gazette.  THE  FOLLOWING    STATEMENTS    ARE    BASED    ON    REPORTS- CONTAINED  "THE AGRICULTURAL  WAR  BOOK,   1916,"   PUBLISHED  BY   THE  DEPARTMENT   OF  AGRICULTURE,   OTTAWA,   ONT.  IN  LIVE. STOCK The herds and flocks of Europe  hs.vc been greatly reduced. "When the war is over  there will be a great demand for breeding stock.  Canadian farmers should keep this in mind.  MEATS���In 1915 Great Britain imported 664,508  tons of beef, mutton and lamb; of which 364,245  ��� tons came from without the Empire.    Out of  ���,-. 430,420 tons of. beef only 104,907 tons came from  within the Empire.,  The demands of the Allies for frozen beef,  canned beef, bacon and hams will increase rather  than diminish.    Orders are coming   to  Canada.  The decreasing tonnage space available will give  -     Canada an advantage if we have the supplies.  DAIRYING���-Home consumption of milk,butter  and ohcese has incrc.Tsed of late years. The war  .demands' for cheese have been unlimited.' The  Canadian cheese exports from Montreal in 1916  were nearly 30,500,000 over 1914. Prices at  Mont real-Cheese: January 1915> 15J^ to 17  cents; January 1916, 18^ -:to 18H cents.  , Butter: January. 1915, 24 to 28?<f cents;  January 1916, 32 to 33 *ents.  EGGS���Canada produced $30,000,000 worth of  eggs in 1915 and helped out Great Britain in the  shortage.

In those days platinum  was thrown away, the name given  it being "fool gold."  All indications are that there will  be a smaller acreage under crop in  the west this season than last. Two  causes are responsible for this. It  was not possible for the farmers to  do much fall plowing and this spring  it is not possible for them to get  help for either plowing or seeding.  The hope 'his year is that with the  smaller crop acreage there will be  better farming methods. In thai  event, with a fairly good season,  the crop will be all right as to grade  if not as to quantity.  Mits. Louis Cvklson, Pres,  "Mus. A. Johnson, Secy.  PHOENIX MINERS DNION  No. a,  W.
