Despite the greatest care in gathering news, there are times when interesting\nevents or personal items escape the notice of a newspaper staff.\nSometimes an oversight of this kind is attributed to indifference,\nwhen such is not the case. The Herald is the home paper. It\nis the intention of the management to build up a publication\nthat will at all times have as its chief object the dissemination\nof interesting information\u00E2\u0080\u0094a paper that will always work in the\nbest interests of this city and district.

Both men have been\nwith the Northern Hotel for several years. Bound for Anchorage,\nAlaska, they have answered the\ncall of the newest mushroom\ntown on the coast. Unlike other\nAlaskan towns of short life,\nAnchorage gives promise of developing into into a good city.\nI\nCLIMATE AND AGE.\nNeither hot nor cold climates\nhave any effect on a person's\nage. ln spite of the difference\nin race, in food, in habits of life,\nthe savage in the South Sea\nIslands has almost exactly as\nlong a life as the African pigmy\nor the giant Fuegians. What is\nmore, in spite of all the skill and\nscience of modern civilization,\nthe average duration of human\nlife is not a whit longer in the\nUnited-States than it is in a\ntropical jungle or a blizzard-\nswept tundra.\nThe Eskimo lives largely on\nblubber, the Hindoo eats sparingly of rice, the Andaman Islander\nconsumes raw fish, the modern\nepicure his \"hot bird and cold\nbottle,\" yet each one of these\nchanges that diverse diet into\njust exactly the amount of fuel\nhis body needs to keep it going\nthe same average length of time.\nThe occupations of men are as\ndiverse as their food, yet in this\nalso the average remains the\nsame. The Norwegians are largely a race of sailors antl fishermen, the Swiss but seldom behold the sea. yet as a nation the\none is not more favored than the\nother with length of life.\nCANADA'S SHIPPING.\nThe Department of Marine and\nFisheries of Canada, in its report on the list of vessels built\nand registered in Canada during\n1914. gives a total new tonnage\nof 43,346, the largest figure in\nfourteen years. Of this amount,\n23,167 tons was credited to Ontario, which has been advancing\nas a ship-owning and ship-building province since the development of trade on the tireat Lakes\nbegan to call for a larger class of\nsteamers than had been employed previously. Taking $30 a ton\nas the average value of vessels\nof all kinds, the total for those\non the Canadian registry on Dec.\n21, was $27,972,000.\nNo Change in Service.\nAlthough the fall and winter\nschedule of the Grand Trunk\nPacilic goes into effect to-merrow\nevening, there will be no change\nin the service from Edmonton to\nPrince George and Prince Rupert,\nThe three trains a week each\nway will be continued and the\ntime of arrival and departure\nwill be the same as at present.\nIndian Captured.\nlhe fleet-footed Adanas, who\nescaped from the local jail recently, has been captured at\nFort Fraser.

It\nwas stated yesterday to a London\nDaily News reporter by a representative of the high commision-\ner for Canada that export of\nwheat from that country to this\nwould probably exceed 200,000, -\n000 bushels.\nIn other words, Canada is able\nto send us almost enough wheat\nti provide every mmi, woman,\nand child in the British Isles with\nsufficient bread for a year.\nLast year the wheat exports\nfrom the Dominion only totaled\n94,000,000 bushels, but the early\nstages of the war no doubt had\nsome bearing on these figures.\nThis season the harvest is simply\nphenomenal, and the Postmaster\nGeneral of Canada, who has just\nreturned from the great producing areas of the west, states that\nthe crop is the best that has been\nseen for twenty years.

It is safe\nto say that the building of the\nGrand Trunk Pacific Railway\n; across Central British Columbia\nhas opened up a section of new\n| country unequalled in scenic at-\n| tractions and commercial possibilities.

First-class\nguides, men who are skilled\ncanoemen, can be secured for this\ntrip at reasonable wages. The\nexpense is cheaper than travelling by rail.
