Should u railroad bo stnrtod from .Ysheroft lo Oarlboo good times may be looked Cor all along tho lino, for somo years at any rato, aud if thero aro uny ho feel that a railroad, by causing compelilion iu agricultural products will interfere with their present prosperity tlioy willdowell to boar in mind tlio Fact that at least two or throo yoars may bo reasonably expected to elapse boforo ii railroad can in uny way ull'eot lliem hi this wuy and, mean'ime, along :i railway 'during construction, tinios ue always good und monoy plenty, uud that by buying at least two years timo to preparefor It those who now depend on grain, hay, oto,, aud Its sale to loum- cun cradinilly got in shape for Utilizing tholr farms for moro oxton- toolt raising, creameries, etc., nnd that considering how muoh oasiorof tho Oarlboo country would bo, uud tho oboaponlug of transportation in,< uud other inuchlnury, und thai only in this wuy can u grout and lasting mining oountry bo built up, wu believo nil will ngroo and will welcome railroad building into Cariboo. No ono need Imvo [our that pormuuenoo is not to bo found in gold miuiug In Cariboo, riio ttlil oroolt and rivor beds for drodglng, tho enormous gravel doposits for liydi-.ullo.nff. and last but not least, lho as yet practically moxplorod quarts, lodges of Cariboo, .vill oauao capital to How in a steady itronm wlien once transportation is made easy, mill ull of tlio difioront lasses o1. mining abovo mentioned aro practically Inexhaustible, and thero looms no reason to doubt that Ouioui- ia, Cassiar, and even farther north will become tributary to the railroad if built us far as Cariboo, for if pushed that far it will of a certainty bo takou iloar through to tho northorn part of the province and even to Kloudiko itself. Tho immense volumo of trade such a road would control would cuuso towns to spring up along its routo aud tho demand would bo suoh that â auches would be cleared up aud planted to supply the demands of lo- cal consumption and of the far uorth. Thero will never bo a railroad built from any point except somo point on tho C.P.R, system that will givo the service or satisfaction that uu ull Canadian railroad into the Kloudiko aud other mining sections will. Tho White Pass railroad is us yet untried aud tho Immense glaciers and snowslides, tho freshets nnd ull combined will leave the Held open for au ull land routo to the northern gold Holds that can bo tilled in uo other wuy except by a railroad traversing tho couutry from south Lo north. Such auothor opening for enterprise aud capital does not exist on the American continent, and it seems fair to presume that it will bo seeunudunder- stood iu tbo very near future. We hopo that tho company known, we believe, as the Omineca und Cariboo Transportation Co., thut hus secured tho charter issued by parliament somo yours ngo for tho Cariboo rail- wny, have tho menus aud neoessary energy to push tho work of construction to a successful issue. Their reward will bo certain, uud tbo building of the road will, wo believo, bo welcomed by all interested iu tho future ofthe great gold bearing regions north, larg- gor thau many of the European empires and rich in mineral wealth as are uo other countries, Warburtan Pike, thut woll kuown ex ploror of tho northern couutry, says in a letter, reproduced from Gosuell's year book, 1807, page 477: "Tho most practicable way of opening ull this northern country, if on examination it should prove worthy of development, would bo to build a direct railway fromJAshcroft, ou tho C, P.R., to Fort Selkirk, on tho banks of tlie Yukon at tho conllueuco of the Lewes nnd Pclly, below which the uiulu stream of tho Yukon is navigable, with connecting branches to tho navigable waters of tho Skeena nnd Stickine. Thus the wholo extent of country would bo rendered available for mining enterprise, aud tho construction of the main lino of railway is by uo menus such a groat engineering undertaking as most people imagine. It is a vory littlo kuown fuel thut tho dry bolt lying betwoou tho Cascade range uud tho main range of the Rockies is continued northward in a moro or less marked do- groo to tho boundary of British Columbia, and beyond into tho Northwest territories, Tlio general trend of tlio main mountain ranges is from southeast to north-west, aud a railway can bo built parallel with theso ranges with a great deal less expense thuu wns incurred by tho C.P.R. in crossing tho Rookies, llio Selkirks and the Cascades, Throughout the dry belt thoro is vdry slight uniiuul precipitation, so little trouble would bo caused by tbo snow- lull in wilder. This line would run right through tho heart of tho mineral bolt, and should provo remunerative as soon as uny development began, "Of all tho unexplored region loft ou tho earth's surface, there is none which offers a more eniioing Held for exploration, or more promise of practical re. ward to un enterprising tuuvellor than tho country drained by tho tributaries oflhe Yukou and Mackenzie, With canoes In summer and dog sleighs iu wintor, lho wholo dislrict can bo traversed with ease by a well equipped party. There are several fur trading posts whore provisions can be obtained. For the sportsman and naturalist thore is abundant occupation bestdos prospecting. Fever and sickness from climatic causes are unknown, nor is there any discomfort from heat and thirst as In so many of the gold producing countries. From an agricultural point of view, little can be said in favor of the region, but' vegetables and bardy cereal* can bo raised tu favored localities for the supply of miuiug camps, and there are long strotohes of grassy country affording good feed for oattlo and horses. It Is a land with a great future, clear of native troubles, or political complications, nud British Columbians have only thomsolvos to blame If tbe* fall to take advantage of the fibaslbilltieq placed to thoir hands." Tho roports are confirmed of the richness of the Pine oreek striko, and nortliern British Columbia Is having a groat prospecting. No doubt other good finds along tho lino will be reported, aud thousands of people will tind good homos in the oountry north of tho C.P.R, Tho need of a railroad from ABhcroft uorth Is plainly to be seen by all who are familiar with the googrnphy of tho oountry, and who are not blinded by prejudice or against anything in the way of internal Improvements, if they fall to put tho intorior so that royalty will be paid Victoria. The Butte Inlet, Quesnelle, tho British Pacific and other schemes of a Hko nature to try to build up Victoria ut tho expense of tho province should be severely discountenanced and the noxt railroad building that takes place in British Columbia should be from some point on the C. P. R. system northward the entire length ot the province to Lake Teslin. It will open up a vast internal empire rich In minerals and timbers, and will furnish homes lor thousands of stock raisers and agriculturists.

Nanaimo, Aug. 29.âOn Wednesday afternoon, when the steamer Princess Louise was leaving Alert Bay, amateur photographer attempted to tako a picture of five deck bands who were resting on the rail, when tbe rail gave way precipitating all five Into the water. The steamer was going at full speed and three of the men were struck by the wheel and instantly killed. The other two were picked up by boats, Lucky Settled Out of Court. During tbe trial of a case nt Abingdon, 111., Edward Bobauou, uttoruoy for the defense, oullod Justice Sampson liar. Sampson promptly adjourned court and invited Bohanon to accompany him outside, where they could consult precedents. The invitation was as promptly accepted, and justico aud lawyer went at it. Sampson proved too strong for the lawyer, who thmlly made an apology. Court reconvened, tbe case was again taken up, tho evidence heard and testimony weighed, and a verdict returned in favor of tbe client of the bellicose Bohanon.âChicago Inter-Ocean. According to stories told to passengers on just returned Alaskan steamers at Juneau there have been more big finds in the neighborhood of Atltn lake. Fine creek stampeders who visited tho opposite side of Atltn lake a tew weeks ago were very much startled to And mining work being actively pushed on two creeks that were not known to have been discovered. A big party of New York Germans from the east side had drifted in there from Teslin lake and had found gold In paying quantities. They had no desire to cause a stampede and kept their secret. It seems that on going north the German party worked their way to Tesliu lake by the Taku river route. They hoped to find gold pit .some of ttfertmall streams leading Into the lake, bat were miserably disappointed,' The party had about decided to work their way dowu the Yukon river to Dawson, when it was proposed to take a' prospecting trip into the country back of Taku arm. They reached Atlin lake but did not cross to the side from which the now famous Pino oreek beads. They prospected several creeks, and at last found two that contalhed gold iu paying quantities."They started in to mine without delay and â Bent baok for the rest of the party. All gathered on the oreeks, and most of the men have good claims. They are very much encouraged. Peter Shamman, of this party, bas reached Juneau. He brings letters which toll every. German in New York of the good news. Tlio luokv Ottomans have had a good deal of hard luck since thoy left New York. The party was a mutual sort of an affair, organized among tbe East Side saloon keepers, bakers, sausage* makers and store keepers. They paraded the streets of New York before leaving and had a grand beer banquet in one of the east side beer resorts. Thoy had not reached Niagara Falls beforo the first of a series ot discouragements fell on them. The baggage car in which their outfits wero carried caught lire. The goods wero nearly all destroyed. The Germans had difficulty in settling with the railroad company nt Chtoago and about half of them turned hack. Tbe rest pushed on and managed to scrape up a cheap but big outfit in some way. They went ln by way of Taku and as told have found fortunes on route- Times, Oold Brick Disappears. Last Sunday afternoon at :t o'clock, says the Vancouver Province, thore a little bright yellow brick iu the window of Robertson Bros., mining brokers, Maokinnon block. It had a card beside it which set forth tbat tho brick was the result of a cleanup at the Ben d'Or mlnq, that the brick weighed 8.27 ounces and tbat its value was approximately 81*90. Monday morning there was uo brick and no card. Tbe piles of ore in the window glittered as brilliantly as ovor, but tbe finished product was nowhere to be seen. A window which opens from the lane into Mr. Robertson's private office showed signs of boing foi ced but beyond this there was no mark of violence having been usod. It was learned at Messrs. Robertson's office this morning tbat the brick hnd been taken out of the window on Saturday night and put in the safo. Ou Sunday one of the firm was in tbo ofllco and he put the glittering mass of gold in the window intending to again return It to tbe safe. He forgot to do so, however, aud it was seon in tlie win-low about 3 o'clock in the afternoon by a young lady employed in the office. Sbo was passing down the street and noticed at the time that tbe gold was there. She remarked tbis particularly, aa it was quite unusual to have it thero on Sunday. There seems every reason to suppose that the theft was committed at night, for tbe blind was left up and it is hardly possible that tbe nerviest thief would go in through tbe side window and steal in broad daylight. Whoever did the aot would seem to have been pretty well acquainted with the building as the window through which tbe entrance was made hnd a broken hasp and was only secured by a nail. bedrock and ut tho bottom of the shaft just whoro tho inclino lakes off, usuinp holo is sunk and a set of duplicate pumps uro hero installed. Ono pump easily doos tho work but tho other is ready to start at n moment's notice in cuso tho ono working should give out, A pump is nlso sot in tho inclino to uso in an emergency but has uot us yot been needed. Senator Campbell, us superintendent, has done a great amount of expensive work but if successful tho company will bo many tinios repaid. C.P.R. Traffic Receipt...

According to advices brought by tho steamer Horsa a big strike has beeu mado on tbo Hootaliuqua river neur Tesliu lake. A greut many people bavo already left Glenora aud Telegraph Creek bound for tho uow diggings und many moro will follow ns soon ns provisions can bo rushed ovor to Teslin. Tho striko wus mudo by D. V. Lowney, of Suu Francisco, who hus spent two years along Hootaliuqua. Mr. Lowney was a passenger from tho headwaters of tho Stickiuo on tbe steamer Strnthconn, which reached Wrungol shortly beforo tho Horsa sailed south. Ho says tho striko ran from 820 to 810 a day to tho man und bedrock hud not yot beou reached. Mr. Lowney, who has purchased u bi] outfit, including puck animals, is goiug back to winter on and develop his claim. Ho has built a cabin aud will tako his wifo in, having secured a chum for her alongside his own. Mr. Lowney says the Hootaliuqua has nover been properly prospected, hundreds of peoplo havo passed down to Dawson City aud lowor points und tho great Hootaliuqua hus boon treated much as was tho Klondiko by early prospectors, simply skimmed over. Tho present rush, ho believes, will develop another great gold district, which will rival tbo Klondike. R. H. Hall, manager of tbo Hudson Buy Coinpuny, who wus Interviewed ut Wrangol In regard to tbo uew strike, corroborated Mr. Lowney'a statemont. Mr. Hall states The Miocene Companv. On the Miocene company's works, on tho Horsefly, tho shaft, including tho inoline depth, is down about 100 feet, and tho suporiutondont is now- driving out from the bottom of tho incline to tap tbo bottom of tbo channel, and strong hopes of rich ground boiug found are entortainod by tbo company and by mining men in genoral acquainted with thnt sectiou. Tho depth of the old channel is much greater than was expected when this work was undertaken, aud tho work has been done under great difficulties. It will mean the opening up of n vast Held if tho company ure successful, ns hoped. Itis not expected that tho drive will be through iu less than throo or four weeks, and it may take longer. There Isnowater In tbo incline as it is iu UK I-I) UINU IN CARIBOO. Wo are informed by letter from ouo who is in a position to know absolutely that the Oleson dredgo, working on the Quesnello river, la running success, fully, aud that tho gravel averages from 75 cents to 81.50 per cubic yard. Such u showing us this is simply enormous, and whou a thorough system of working is established the results of gold mining by river dredging will bo thut hundreds of dredgers will be working In tho streams of northern British Columbia, Think of tho enormous stretches of tbo different Btreams, and wlion one realizes Ihat ono milo will furnish rivor bed enough for u drodgo for many years if favorably located, wo can begin to think what it menus to drodgo successfully for gold tho rivor bods of British Columbia. Each drodgo will cost, say, uu average of 825,000, und on tho Frasor uloue within a few years thero should bo enough machines running to give a largo revenue to iho government at 50 couts por ounce royalty, und 811) per milo lease money per annum. It is expected yet this fall that nL least two moro dredges will bo completed at Quesnelle, uud sovoral more are to bo built or begun during tbe coming winter. By getting in the machinery on tho suowcousider ublo may bo saved, this being no small part of tho expense of building a drodgo, the machinery uloue weighing from 15 Lo GO tons. Crew Were Saved.

Mr. Cro- uennett suys thut Captaiu Seeley. muster of his company's steamer South Portland, which has just arrived at Seattlo rrom St, Michaels, reported to him that tho entire compauy were safe ou board tho Fastnot at St. Michaels. No further news wus given of tho disaster of tho river steamer. Marc Klondike Gold. The steamer Roanoke arrived nt Seattlo on Wednesduy from St. Michael's with about 84,000,000 in dust nnd drafts. Three Klondikers aboard claim to have been robbed of 82_e,Q(X- worth of dust at St. Michael's. When tho steamer reached Seattle the pos- sougors were not allowed to land for somo hours. All were searched, but the missing gold did uot turn up. The search still continues, however, although much doubt is expressed aa to whether the gold was ever lost. P. B. Weare, of Chicago, ono of the head meu of the N.A.T. &. T. Co., waa among tho Roanoke's passengers. He said thc Roanoke had 84,000,000 in gold and drafts aboard. Many wealthy Yukoners were aboard the Roanoke, ineluding the discoverer of tho Klondike and four Klondikers known ns the -four Bonanza Frenchmen." Prominent Seattle peoplo also roturnod. Aocording to advices brought by the Roanoke there has been a stampede to Ophlr creok, where gold in large quantities has boon found. Tho Portland was to have left St. Michael's August 22nd with Klondikers uud nbout 82,000,000 aboard.

Llllooet .'imi"-.'. l)l..l-i I Mli This district takes its name from tho lown of Lillooel, situated on tho Eraser river, III miles northerly from Lytton station nn tho Canadian I'licillc. Lytton is located ut tho continence- of Die Prasor and Thompson rivets. Until tho prosent year all communication between Lillooet and the railroad bus been by Aslicrolt, the starling poiut tor stages into tho Cariboo miuiug district, During 1808 u stage road hus beeu built connecting Lillooel with Lyttou, thereby reducing tho dis tanco to be l raveled by stage from 00 to IU miles. Tho town or Lillooot was built during the early placer miuiug excitement ou tho Eraser river about 1858, Uutil tho Yale Aslicrolt route wus adopted about 18G6all travel to tho Cariboo country and uppor Prasor aud Quosnollo rivers passed through this point, This travel left the Eraser river ut tho mouth of Harrison river, thenco up Harrison lako to Port Douglas, then by wagon road ovor tho Douglas portugo to Tonus luko, up that and Lillooot lakes to Pemborton Meadows. Prom thoro tho routo turned from u northwesterly to a northeasterly direction across the Pemborton portage lo And orsou lake, dowu that and Seaton lako to Lillooot. Erom Unit point tho overlaud journey up tho Eraser rivor started, aud it was consequently headquarters for packers, freighters and miners, But. wheu the Yide Aslicrolt routo was laid out Lillooet lost its prestige because ils locution is almost due west from Ashoroft, und consequently about to miles oil' tho main road. U lias siuco continued to bo tbo most important town lu the dislrict becauso tbo ollice of the mining recorder aud the court houso for the district have boen maintained. Besides it has beeu largely supported by tho placer mines on tho Eraser and Bridge rivors, and rauohos us woll ns Indian villages situated iu the vicinity. Early in 1800 the placer miners began to give serious attention to prospeotiug Tor quart/, volus. A half breed named Copoland discovered somo rich float on Cayoosh creek, which empties into Eraser rivor about two miles bolow the (own. This led to tlio location of tho "GblTou Cacho" group of mines on that creek, which was followed by a stampede resulting iu tho staking of tbo entire couutry. Tho history of tho Golden Cucbo in 1807 is well known. Tbo Vancouver purchasers from tho locator stocked the compauy at 8J.00.00G capital, reserving one-half the stock for themselves. They afterward sold a portion of llieir holdings for 8185,000 cash to a wealthy Englishman, erected a Hi slump mill, made a run and cleaned up about 8-1 per ton. Tlie usual result followed, tho stcck dropped from 82 to lUc. "or share, uud Cayoosh creek mines re- reived a black eye. Mauy of the claims staked and recorded wero abandoned aud bonds held on some properties forfeited, Dnriug (he spring of 1808 the Goldon Cache mines wero started up again, the capacity of the mill increased to *20 stumps, air compressor and drills in troduced, and ut this writing tbe ill torested shareholders and public aro anxiously awaiting tho results of another mill ruu to be made soon. The failure of the Golden Cache last year did uot deter some of tho claim owners on the creek from development work. Tlie Amide locution, owned by John Marshall: tho Monarch. Bonanza and several others within I or "> miles of Lillooet have bad considerable work dono on them. There has been remarkably rich ore taken from many outcrops. At the Ample, which I visited witb its owner, a body of sulphuretted ore 20 foot in thickness is exposed at the outcrop. The general formation dips at a low angle, about l!iP into tho mountain, and tho holder of thc bond on tho property ran an incline tunnel somo 70 feot in length.

The trend is northwesterly, and gonoral dip aboul III)-3 toward tlio north. Noar the mouth of Cayoosh creok tho slates have been lilted Up at a much higher angle, somo strata nearly vertical, but further up tlio crook tlioy assume tho Hatter dip. Some porphyritic aud serpentine rocks occur occasionally as dykes us woll us blank'eta, either cutting llirough tho slates or overlaying them. Gush veins uud stringers of quart/, with lenticular structure, aud of various thicknesses from a few inches up occur as inter nml dip, Cayoosh creek has yielded coarse placer gold, and years ago wus tlie scene of active operations by placer miners. The ruins of cabins aud wing dams toll tholr own story. But its value as a quart/, mining camp has yot lobe proven. Bridgo river, which empties into tho Erasm- u short distanco abovo Lillooel, has iln history as a pltiGOV niiuiii!-. oanip, dating hank to tho early excite mont iu tho sixties, and some of Its tributaries, ihe most notable boiug Tyniiohtoii crook und tho south fork, whicli empty into tho main river about nml su miles respectively abovo its mouth, have added (heir quota to make up tho total, This river bends north westerly from Lillooet and runs nearly parallel with tho uppor Lillooet river. Por tho lirst -10 milos above Its mouth ts course is mostly through canyons, Its currents quito swift, and in tho channel many rapids. But ubove that t, Jack's Landing us it is culled, tho wider Hows sluggishly, only one short stretch of rapids occurring to the mouth of the south fork, a distanco of about nt miles. The writer hus just roturnod from a trip along that portion of tho rivor, from Lillooet by tho trail along tho north shore-of Seaton lake to the Indian mission, 11 miles from tlio foot of the lake: thenco by trail across the divide lo Bridge river, aud up that to tho mouth of lbe south fork. Tho oltitudo of tbo summit above tho lake is about 11,000 foot, but above .luck's Landing on the river only ubout 1,500 feot, Seaton luko is very littlo higher than tho Eraser river ut Lillooot, therefore Bridge Kiver lulls about 1,500 foet iu tho-10 miles betwoou i_s mouth and .luck's Lauding. Highly metamorphosed rocks predominate, as tho country rook for the lirst 10 or 12 miles along tho river, uud across the summits; thoso may be classified as slates, becauso that appears to be most common. But pyroxene rocks are fouud in fhe slides, and except in these slides tho geology is hidden by douse growth of grasses mid underbrush. Above that point, aud near the mouth of Tyauchton crook, the surface is covered with decomposed gneiss, nud the silicious fragments from somo disintegrated schist which carried an excess of fold- spar. Tho local miners have been call Ing this material "ashes," uiul consider ablo interest has been evinced by the geologists. It muy seem strange, but this eutir seclion of country, including Bridge and upper Lillooet rivers has until quite rec.-iitly been absolutely uuox plored by those interested iu scientific research. Today tho country abovo the mou Ui of tbe south fork of Bridge river, and across westerly to the coast is a,sealed book to whito men. and Id most of tlie Indians for that mutter Tho quart/. ledges on the south fork Of Bridge river attracted attention somo 12 years ago, but the first. locutions recorded wero slaked in the early spring of 1807. Since thon tho ontiro country tributary to tho south for including Cadwallador creel;, which empties into it from the east sido, has boon covered with locution stakes. A subdivision of the mining district has boen established, and a resident recorder appointed. What lhe future of Uie camp will be remains to bo proven. Some of the richest and most beautiful specimens of native uold iu a whito chalky quartz the writer over saw havo been taken from tho ledgos. A good many claims have beeu bonded, mostly to Vnncouver meu, who act as promoters or middle meu. On tho Ida May and Ben D'or groups OU Cadwallador creok. as well us on the Eorty Thieves group on the south fork, forces of miners havo been employed during the spring. At the present time tlio Eorty Thieves is shut down, uud tho others arc working small forces. Assessment work has been done on many locations for tho current year, but very many have, on the other hand, boon abandoned, because no real discovery hus been or could bo made. The writer visited the Forty Thieves which, so far as could bo learned, is recognized us the best prospect in tho camp. The ledge is apparently about i feot thick and can be easily traced for il long distance up tho mountain sido on the east sido of tlie South Pork, Although a great deal of specimen rock has, it is said, been taken from tho outcrop of the ledgo, yet tho wort- shows sulphuretted oro quite closo to the surface. There has beeu but very little work done on Lhe veiu, which is composed of white quartz and closed iu porphyrito walls, with lalcy gunge usually between tho ore body and walls. Most of the work has b perCornied in running a tunnel from llic level of the creek to cross cut tho vein ut deotb. Tliis hud not been accomplished wheu tho work was suspended, and until ihe results of this development are known but littlo can bo said of thc value of the prospect So far us tho writer could learn, the ledges of gold boariug quartz aro nar row, from 18 in. to <l ft. thick, but very rich, especially at tho outcrop. Tho veiu ut Eorty Thieves has its striko toward northeast uud dip toward southeast, nt an angle of about -tii d. grees. Lootting down the South Fork from lho discovery posl, on tho Eorty Thieves one can plainly see whero the creek has cut through the ledgo and miiierali/ed material, On the opposite side townrd tho northeast, nearly or quite a mile, is auothor mountain, tlie Bides of which show very strong indications of mineralization, but no vein Ims yet been reported as discovered, although the entire mountain is of course slaked. To show to what extent Staking has been carried the writer wus told of two prospectors locating lilt claims In ono day, sotting up the No. 1 and 2 posts, blazing location lino betwoou and sotting discovery stake ou oach claim. The ureu allowed by law boiug 1,500 Tt. by 1,500 ft. for each claim, ii must bo acknowledged that if bona lido discoveries wore made this is a most remark- able country. But no discoveries such as Lho law construes tho meaning of Lhe term "minora! boarlng rock iu place" had heen found.

But it would bo a pity to allow thluj to continue as they are. Many noble lives have boen wrecked through drink, Some promising youug men of tliis city are fastoniugu habit upon them selves which thoy will Hnd It difficult to shake oil, und it is easy to forecast that a considerable porooutago of our boys will become drunkards.

But all men have uot tbe moral strength to say no. Some aro born with an inherited taste, aud some aro so surrounded with temptation that they havo uo chauco for wise judg ment.

Theso mon ought to work for prohibition. Thou thero aro peoplo who havo never thought much about It-temper anno und its evils, Thoy fall in with the customs of polite society. If such customs require liquor to bo sot before one's guests, they bring out tlie bottle. But it would bono hardship to omit tho custom if society should frown upon it. If such people should seriously think upon tlie possible harm thoy do ihey would abolish or modify tho custom, Ou tho other hand: the liquor deal ors will vole against prohibition. Thoy nrc fond of saying that more liquor is drunk witli prohibitory laws than with out, nevertheless they will vote ugaiust prohibition, Young men who think that doing something bud is thc passport to mnu liness, and who wish to show that thoy aro not tied lo tlieir mothers' apron string, will favor tho whiskey side.

Tho rainbow trout of the Thompson can not be excelled as a game lish.

A bank in Ashcroft would, in time, secure a good patronage and a large share of tho northern business, and should be a paying concern. Several banking concerns are considering the establishment of a branch here. The following are the returning otti- cors for taking the plebiscite on prohibitum in British Columbia: Burrard, Mr. Tytlor; Westminster, M. W, Hawthorne; Vancouver, C. H. Barker; Victoria, H. A. Munn; Yale and Cariboo, Daniel O'Hara. A. Patenaudo, of the 150-Mile House, spent a couple of days in town this week, his sister being a guest of Miss Dougherty. Together they loft the lost of tbe week for Vancouver, where they will take passage for Quebec and spend a few weeks with old friends and relatives. Miss Ward, formerly with P. W. Poster's store iu tho millinery department, is visiting her brother George and friends in Ashcroft this week. Miss Ward has been for tbe past few months at Nelson but confesses that she would liko on many accounts to again reside iu Ashcroft, where she has many friends. It seems from press reports that the New York Germuns that tbe reports were so widely distributed about, their sturting for Klondike 100 strong and largely composed of brewers, escorted through tho streets of New York with a brass band on starting, etc., are in on the ground floor of the Atlin lake country, in British Columbia. Travel to Cariboo and Lillooet has been good this season, and many men representing capital have visited the above mentioned sections and in numerous cases have seoured properties by purchase, option, or otherwise, that will materially help to develop this section, and anything of benefit to Uariboo and Lillooet also helps much to develop and improve Ashcroft aud tho villages and ranches along the wagon roads. Some of our small boys in Ashoroft are inclined at times to be too forward toward their elders. The boys mean no harm and are good hearted children. A village like this is not the best of places for training children, Weolder ones should remomber that all were once young, but the tendency that exists among some of our small boys to be siiucy should be so far as possible checked by tbo parents. In time they will see the folly of too much slang and roughness, nevertheless all boys should be taught that they can be gentlemen even if only small boys.
