It aims to be on the right side of everything and believes that hell\n-hould be administered to the wicked in large doses. Tt lias stood the test of time, and an ever-increasing naj'streak is proof that It is\nbetter to tell the truth, even if the heavens do occasionally hit our smokeRtaek.

G. Legislature has not\nyet given away the air in this province, They probably need it all\nin their business.\nIn ante belluni days bloodhounds\nwere vsed in the South to track\nrunaway slaves. In Trail they are\nused right now to track Chinaman\nwho rob the white man's garden.\nCanada should smelt its own\nores, make all its pulp into paper,\nand coin all its own money. This\nwould mean work for many thous\nands, and millions of money for\nthe country.\nThe store that does not advertise\nis often full of nothing but flies,\nwhile the proprietor sits sad and\nlonely and wonders why the world\n^TRFcora~\"to war .ir~mnr~aM~liTs\nmusty wares.\nincreased activity in the shingle\nbusin ?ss is a record breaker. The\npulp industry is about to sprout in\nB. C., and a law prohibiting the\nexportation of pulp should be put\nin force all over the Dominion.\nEvery pound of pulp should be\nworked into paper and then shipped all over the world. At the\npresent time the pulp industry is\nworth about \u00a74,000,000 a year to\nCanada. With an export duty on\npulp and pulp wood it would be\nworth $50,000,000, and the, Canadians are not financially wise if\nthey will permit the present state\nof affairs to exist any longer. . We\nshould be above cutting wood and\npacking water for other nations.\nThe cost of smelting Hossland\nores has been reduced to 84.80 a\nton by the Northport smelter. The\nTrail smelter will probably give\nthe same rate, and Rossland will\nthen have greater prosperity.\nFanners from Alberta are looking for locutions in this province.\nBritish Columbia, with its mild\nclimate, is very attractive to those\nwho have tilled the soil in any land\nwhere the thermometer hugs the\nlower levels.\nIu the United State*, if a person\ntakes mail other than his own out\nof the postoflice and does not return it he. is liable to a fine of 8200.\nThe law can do little good except\nthrough the power of fear upon\ngome individuals,\nIjook at the enormous dividends\npaid by Canadian banks, and you\nwill find one of the reasons why\nCanada has no mint. Rag money\nis too profitable a thing to be\nshoved aside for solid coin, and it\nnever will be until the linkers tuke\ntheir influence from behind the\nlegislature at Ottawa.\nFor more than a year jiast we\nhave heard miners say that it was\ndangerous to work in the ami\nminoH near Ferine. One iihift waa\nenough for some Hlotau men. Im it\npossible to make those mineH workable without danger to life? If not\nthev should tie abandoned,\nComes\nThe war in South\nAfrica is over, but it\nl_j j\/yU has been expensive, as\n'\"o\" everything comes high\nin war times except the soldiers'\nwages.

M.n.ter\nV\nit Ninth Yeajk.\nTHE LEDGE, .NEW DENVER, li. t<   JUNE 12  iyu2.\nCIk Depil fighter\n\"A The rainy season had been unusually long and wet that winter,\nForty days and forty nights it had\npoured in torrents, and on the\nforty-first day there was sign of\nabatement. Most of the diggings\nalong the upper Feather were deserted, for the few remaining stragglers in each camp had joined forces\nat Gin Gulch, and proceeded to\nmake it hum. Bnt after forty-one\ndays of ceaseless pour-down even\ntheir resources of diversion were\nexhausted. The mud ofthe red,\nsticky sort had grown deeper and\nstickier each day, 'till the \"goin\"\nwas almost impossible, and the\nwhole (>oimii unity was rounded up\nat Casey's.\nCasey's was a nice home-like\nplace. It was the store, and in the\nearly mining-camp days \"store\"\nincluded post-office, hotel, general\nmerchandise, and bar-room. The\nbuilding was small and the accomodation some what cramped, so the\nback room was devoted to gambling; tlie front to drinking; the\nmiddle where the supplies were\nsold, to haggling, extortioning,\nbrawling; and the porch, incideu-t\nally, to \"scrimmagin'\"; and at\nnight the bunks, tiered around the\nwall above the counter, were used\n\u2022   for sleeping. (\nIt dill not take a man iu those\ndays long to shake off every emel-;\niorating influence of his past life.\nComfort, health, life and honor were\nstaked on hopes of striking it rich.\nEvery one was gold-mad, and nothing else counted, and every man\ncherished the feeling that, his fortune once made, he might go back\nto his Eiistern home, gather up the\nshreds of his discarded repeatability, and, under the glitter of his\ngoldhide the scars, left by the life\nhe had lived in the mines. Meantime the population of the mining\nregion was a lawless, godless crew,\nevery humanizing influence crowded to the background; a lot of\nhairy, horny-handed animals, for\nif, where women are concerned,\nmen are fools, without them they\nare fienils.\nThe habitues of Casey's were no\nbetter nor no worse than the rank\n.J_fi|aVf_n*\n--rkil*Li-i -ir rtf -l-.rlA\nkindest-hearted had the roughest\nexteriors, the most timid appearing\nand retiring man in the crowd was\nmost dangerous, as they all knew;\nahd there was not one among them\nwho had not made a record of\ngome kind during his short residence on the coast, as his sobriquet\nintimated. And, as a rule, there\nwas a tacit code of behavior tliat\nwas pretty well observed in camp\nwhen they were sober, but after all\nthese weeks of enforced companionship, things were worked up to a\npretty high temper. The ai>- in\nCasey's bar-room was dense and\nrank with the fumes of stale tobacco and blue from the steady Btreain\nof unrestrained profanity. The\nbig stove in the centre always kept\nthe plaeo over-heated, and the circle of hoots usually perched a-top\nof it sent out a vile odor of steaming raw-hide. Every \"pile\" had\nchanged hands half a ilowm times\nin as iiiiiny Aveeks, and even gambling seemed to have lost the keen\nedge of Its attraction. They began\nto long for a change of almost any\nkind. A cook-tight, or even a good\ndog fight, would be a great relief to\nthe Ami level of the present monotony.\n(iood nature could not be sup-\njKwed to endure long under this,\nstrain, nor did it. Even Red-handed Texiw. at all times the mildest-\nmannnered man in the mountains,\nhad allowed circumstances to\n\u2022rile\" him, l'oker I'ete had turned\nglum and retired into his shell, and\nthere hud lieen several little drunken knifing over exchanging \"piles.\"\nAltogether the ntinomphere of (Jin\n(iiileh was unpleasant.\nOn tin1 morning of the forty-we-\noitd day the monotony was hitiken\nhy tlie arrival of the j>oiiy.express\nwagon.   A few paper*,  New York\ndailies, iwo iiionthw oh), were sold j\nfor two dollars  apiece, and there\nwere several letters for which  the!\nrider claimed a dollar ajieiee  for]\ntransportation. Then as he warmedj\nhimself. Inside and out, he retailed j\nall the local news along the route, j\n\"Anil, say, boy,\" he began,!\nwhen tie fiatl told the more impor- >\n(miii in\u00bb|i|wuiugs. - there, s a pamni\nchap working the camp* around\nhttv Ui tAim money to build a-\nchurch, he nays, to tight thc devil |\nnn hi* own trrwmd.\"\n\"He'll have a tough tu*\u00bb\u00abl with i\nIhe old fellow if he trie* to tackle*\nhi in   around   here,\" opined  Sii-\nShooter Charley, pridefully and all\nthe otliirt* agreed. !\nThe n\u00abt day the subjecrt of din-\ni uhMoii Haa the variou* way* in\nohirh ihey   might    \"An up*     lh\u00bb*\nimrmin uheti he   appeared   umoiig,\nthro), liter* waa a natural rrwnM\nment thit any one ahmild pn-mttme,\nto interlM* wilh lh*ir way of \u00abr\u00bb j\nwing un, hm lh*- p\u00bb\u00bb\u00ab*>pe\u00bbi of the\n\"He's   too\nPete,  regretfully,\neasy,'\ndiversion was welcome. Anything\njust now, from a revival to an earthquake, would relieve the routine of\nsleeping, drinking, gambling;\ngambling, drinking, sleeping.\nSo it was with a not wholly inimical feeling that they watched, the\nnext afternoon, toward sunset, a dejected little burro plodding through\nthe slush toward them. The men\nwere forced to admit that pushing\nhis way through such mud and\nslush showed grit and plenty of it,\nfor both rider and^ beast showed\nit had been a. hard pull.\n' 'Good-evening, gentlemen,''\nsaid a thin, opologetic voice to the\ncrowd, as he reached the porch.\n\"Good-evening yourself, answered Casey, somewhat strained-\nly. Then as the stranger prepared\nto dismount, there was an awkward pause, during which several\nof the crowd aimed deliberately,\nand spat at a certain crack in the\nwall to show their ease of manner.\nThe parson wa*s about tho rawest\nlooking fellow that had ever ventured into those parts. He had\nthat young, tender, unprotected\nlook that always, prompts a guess\nas to whether his mother knows\nhe's out; but he had also a pair of\ncork-screw eyes, that seemed to\npenetrate to the bed-rock of their\nnature, and read their very\nthoughts.\n\"Can you direct me to a hotel?\"\nhe asked. \"I have come to these\nparts to bring the gospel.\"\n\"Then I guess you are that devil\nlighter that. Pony Mike told us\nabout,\" Casey answered. \"These\nfellows here are all tiger-fighters.\"\nwith a wave of his hands toward\nthe by-standers.\n\"I did not know that tigers frequented this region,\" \u2022 the young\nfellow answered; \"but I fancy that\nI should like to try it myself.\"\nThen, \"can you direct me to a hotel?\" he repeated.\n\"This here is all the hotel we've\ngot in these diggings,\" said Casey,\nnodding his head toward the stencil plate sign that read: \"Tom\nCasey, Dry Goods and Wet Goods.''\nsaid Poker\nafter the new-\nC-nrr|flr_ha.d disappeared inRidst-lihim\nand his little camp meeting show\nwon't last the^first round here.\"\n\"We won't go for him until he\ngets underway.\" suggested Texas,\n\"till he gets to firing away at hell-\niire and damnation, and then we'll\nturn in and give him a taste of it.\"\nSix-Shooter Charley had not\nsaid a word all this time, which\nlooked ominous, for the fact that\nTexas had outlined his plan of action, and Charley had not disputed\nit, argued ill for somebody.\nThe bar room was the only place\nlarge enough to hold a meeting of\nany kind to be held, and tho score\nor two of miners in the vicinity\novertaxed its power of expansion.\nThere had been some \"anti-secesh\"\nrallies there, recently, and the\nspeaker Iuul taken the bar to rant\nover, so, when the parsons meeting\nwas called, the card-tables were\ntaken for extra seats, and the bur\nleft for the speaker.\nGentlemen, he began, timidly. I\nthank you all for the encouragement of your presence here this\nevening. This is my first attempt\nto build a church, but I feel I have\na call\u2014\u2014\nShow down, then! interrupted\nPoker Pete, recognizing a familiar\nterm, and trying to head the parson off. But the parsons voice,\npiU'hed a trifle higher, continued,\nto carry the gospel to the heathen,\nand now, gentlemen, with your\npermission, we will begin the service by singing.\nThis remark was addressed directly to Casey, as the host of the\nassemblage, but the situation waa\ntoo many for him. Still the speak-\nseemed to be waiting for a response\nof some kind, so he turned to Poke\nand swore that he did not can- a\n\u2014\u2014 how they began, and followed\nit up with a lurid flourish of pm-\nfanity, jimt to be polite and All up\nwhat might otherwise have Wen an\nawkward pause. Then the parson,\nalthough he changed color at\nCasey's language, Siegan to sing. To\neverybody's surprise, instead of\nstarting up some long-metre psaliu-\ntune, he commenced with Dixie,\nlie had a Miirpri\u00abmg good voice tor\nsuch a hot iow-cheated lellow, and\nsang with plenty of vim.

Then, when there\n! were no more calls for old favor-\niites, he said: Xow, I'll give you my\nj favorite, which seemed fair enough,\nj so he sang Rock of Ages.\nj He is getting down to business,\nj boys, look out for him now, Char-\n| ley whispered to Poke, but that\nj song brought up to Poke's mind a\npicture of a kitchen lire-side, a\nsqueaking rocking-chair, a placid\nold face; and quavering tones that\nhad sung it in his childhood. He\ncouldn't put a man out just for\nsinging that. As Poke was always\nj the leader in matters that required\nI prompt action and physical prow-\n! ess, the others waited for him to\nj move; so, while he sat seeing pictures of that old kitchen, with a\n{hoe cake on the hearth, and a 'pos-\njsum in the oven, the preacher was\ngoing ou without, interruption.\nHe had finished his song and\nbegun with his discourse, and\nno one had made a move. We are\ngoing to build a church at Dog-\ntown, he told them in conclusion,\na Protestant church; we are a new\nsect that is going to take the world\nby storm, for we not only protest\nagainst every article of faith and\npratice of the Roman Church, but\nmost of the doctrines of the hundred and thirty-seven different Protestant denominations. We are\ncalled the Brotherhood of the Holy\nGhost, and we claim the distinction of the first rank in Dogtown.\nNow will you all give liberally toward the new building?\nAgain there was an awkward\npause, when the parson had finished, for he had not Casey's ready\ngift in filling up the breach. So\nhe added in his thin-voiced apologetic way: Brother\u2014er- Poker,\nwill you kindly help take up the\ncontribution to this worthy cause?\nAs Poke jumped down from his\nperch on a whiskey barrel, Charley\nand Mac thought the scrimmagin\"\nwas in order, and began to sidle toward the bar, but to their surprise\nhe grabbed up his hat, and said:\nBoys, this youngster's lay-out is all\nright.

This touched\nhis weak point.    Doesn't anybody\ntake me? he asked,  isn't  anybody\ngoing to chip?\nThere were memories   fresh   in\nthe  minds  of them all,   of   what\nhad happened on several occasions\nwhen Poker had held a Hush and\nno one had taken him, so, although\nthis was not a personal nature, they\nwere hoping some one would chip.\nTheir apathy only made him  more\ndetermined, and as he waxed   enthusiastic tlie atmosphere, always\nof a bluish cast   when   Casey  was\naround, became empurpled by his\ncloqiiriu'i', as he pummeled the air\nj with upper-cuts and home thrusts\nby way of emphasis.    At all times\nPoke's language was strong, even\nto   hardened   ears,   not   that  he\nseemed to  lose his temper or get\nexcited, for his utterances fell from\nhis lips calmly  and  gently.   His\nwas a mere gift of  profanity,   and\nhis vocabulary was the pride ol the\ncamp.
