It is a\nrelic of the days of three hundred\nyears ago, and brings bac.k memories of the whipping post and ducking stool. If the laws of this\ncountry allow a business man to be\nthrown into jail for debt, just because he cannot pay the amount at\nthe exact moment designated by\nthe Justice before whom the case is\nbrought up, there is none of us safe,\nexcept the magistrate, who would\nhardly care to commit himself to\njail.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDGrand Forks Gazette.\nCollection day in Grand Forks\nhas become a day of very serious\nimport to many citizens of that\nburg. The scarcity of money and\ncollaterals has made it neceessary\nfor the community to resurrect the\nancient blue-law policy which empowers the creditor to take the body\nof the debtor and put it in jail as\nsecurity, at the tax-payers'expense.\nIf this be so, and the Gazette says\nit is, it becomes a matter demanding investigation. It is openly and\nrepeatedly stated in Grand Forks,\nthat some of the officials there construe law in enmformity to their\ndesires to punish their enemies and\ndispose of oponentB.\nL. A.

After calling attention to the manner in which the\nBoundary country had been used to\npoke the chestnuts out of the fire\nfor Rossland, the Times says:\n\"Rossland should fight its own\nbattles without sacrificing the Boundary. The Boundary district, or\nrather Southern Yale from Cascade\nto Keremeos should be made a\n-county with a resident county judge.\nThis district is of sufficient importance and has sufficient business\nwithin its boundaries to justify such\na course. Because Rossland is not\nstrong enough to travel alone is no\nreason why the Boundary should\nbe continually sacrificed.\" While\nthe association can only resolve, its\naction in this respect will have great\nweight in determining the action in\nthis matter of the legislative assembly at.its nearby session.\nCaptain J. J. Healy, formerly\ngeneral manager of the North\nAmerican Trading and Transportation company, and an Alaskan pioneer, in an interview at Seattle,\nsaid: \"I'm no longer a young man,\nbut I believe I shall live to see a\ncontinuous line of railway from\nNew York to St. Petersburg and\nother European capitals. Such a\nrailroad, in the nature of things,\nis only possible by way of Behriug\nstrait, and work on one of the principal connecting links will be commenced within a year. I refer to\nthe proposed railroad from Port\nValdes, at the mouth of Copper\nriver, to the American Yukon. The\ngreat enterprise will undoubtedly\nbe inaugurated before January,\n1902.\n\"This Copper river road is sure\nto be built. Nothing is more certain. Work on its construction will\nbe commenced, I am certain, within twelve months. After crossing\nthe mountain range the railroad\nwill follow the Tanana to the Yukon. From this point nothing\nseems more certain than that it\nwill be built across Behring strait\ninto Siberia. Such a project would\nof course have to be carried out by\nan international company, and\nwith the co-operation of the two\nnations, the United States and\nRussia. It requires nn great stretch\nof imagination to picture a railroad\nacross Behring strait. It is but\ntwenty miles from the American\nshore to Diomede island, and less\nthan that distance to the Siberian\nshore from that island.\n\"The construction of the road and\nits connection with the trans-Siberian railway would give complete\nrail connection, assuming an extension of the Canadian Pacific or\nsome other trans-continental railroad to connect with the Copper\nriver road, between New York and\nSt. Petersburg.\n\"Time will bring about the completion of this gigantic enterprise.\nThere is money in this country to\ndo it. Money is now commanding\nless than 3 per cent. It wants more\nprofitable investment. Millions have\nbeen spent in erecting sky scraping\nbuildings, until these investments\nno longer pay. Hundreds of blocks\nin Chicago are tenantless, or renting at such low rates that the investment does not pay.\n\"Think what the construction of\nthis road would mean! Tea from\nChina could he shipped by land to\nthis country. A sea voyage injures\ntea\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDrobs it of its flavor. Russia\ncarries her tea on camels rather\nthan subject it to a sea voyage. We\ncould nnd would use much better\ngrade tea here, but it is not worth\nwhile now, for the reason that it\nhad to be shipped hy water. Consider, too, what the United States\ncould ship to Russia, China and\nother Oriental countries if this road\nwere completed.\"\nCaptain Healy contemplates the\norganization of a large company to\noperate in Alaska. Speaking of the\nriches of the North, he said:\n\"I do not hesitate to go on record\nas saying tbat the British Yukon\nor Northwest Territory, and Alaska, will within the next twenty-five\nyears, produce more actual mineral\nwealth than tbe entire world has\ncontributed during the past quarter of a century. Formerly we had\nonly the gold producing gravel\nbars of the Yukon, Circle City and\nKlondike districts. Now there are\ndozens of camps. Look at that vast\nunexplored section of country lying\nbetween the Copper river and\nNome; the great unexplored region\nof the Tanana and the Koyukuk.\nConsider, too, the Mackenzie river,\nwhere there is now scarcely a white\nman, There is gold there unquestionably. It is but a distance of\n150 to 200 miles from Dawson to\ntbe head waters ot the Mackenzie,\nwhich will in time be prospected\nfrom its source to its mouth.\nMr. Angus Cameron received a\ncomplete up-to-date print of the\nEncyclopedia Britanica, this week.\nMr. J.
