Four years ago\nwas a hard winter, a scarcity of feed\nand much loss of stock. This wiuter\nhas been much longer and more severe.\nIt came early, snow falling iu November and has remained since.\nThe winter setting in so early necessitated early feeding whioh has had to\nbe be continued until in many cases it\nhas become exhausted. As a rule\nfarmers do not contemplate feeding until the winter is well advanced, never\nanticipating that the feeding period\nwill extend beyond two or three months. As a consequence several losses\nof stock are reported.\nWe regret that farmers are not so\nprovident as thev ehould be. They\nare too much of the happy-go-lucky\ndisposition - trusting to fate - instead\nof providing in abundance. From\nthe past thoy should gain a lesson lor\nthe future, and put more land nnder\ncultivation and obtain larger and better crops of hay. The trusting- ss\nmany do-to obtaining sufficient hay\nfrom the sloughs has proved a failure.\nProvidence only helps those who\nhelp themselves; ont of evil good may\ncome, and we can only ho|-e that the\nfarmers will be mure provident iu tbe\nfuture.\nIt Made Her Nervous.\nA good story is told on a rather\nnervous Carleton Place young lady.\nThe other day she was crossing near\nthe passenger depot while tho trainmen were doing some switching.

We sre going to make it our\nduty to supply these srticle s of information, if our readers will only assist\nus by supplying bints, facts and special details. Single handed we csnnot\nunterteks tbe tssk unless we have cordial help, snd ss these articles sre for\nthe purpose of benefitting the District,\nassisting jo making its resources\nknown so ss to bring in capital and-\npopulstioq, we hope those who can aid\nwill not he backward in coining forward with tbe assistance we desire.\nThs articles shsll include sueh subjects ss mines snd mining, which will\nbe the greatest industry in tho district.\nThere ars other industries of great importance, we may almost say of the\nlirst importance just now. These are\nranching, mixed farming and lumbering. Other industries may arise and\nsre sure to arise if our District goes a*\nbead, which we all anticipate it will.\nThe area of East Kootenay may be\nststed we think correctly to contain\nabout 16,000 square miles of territory,\nIn tbie area we bave every variety and\nprairie-benches, hills, mountains, Valleys, rivers, streams and rills, Tbe\nwhole area throughout is rich In miners) wealth. There ie no sterility bat\ngreat fertility . If it is not on the surface it is underneath it. The most\nsangaine of us csnnot anticipate what\noar possibilities may be in the next\nyear. If, however, we expect these\npossibilities to be realised it will not\nbe by sitting witb folded bauds and\nretaining the information we possess\nta ourselves. We must help one another and disseminate information and\nlet the ourside world knew whst we\nhave and thereby in so doing we help\none another and also ourselves. We\nwill disseminate this information in\nno far as we can through our columne\nwhen we obtain it.\n< We do not propose to interfere with\nthe duties of the Mining Bureau, which\nwe hope soon to see establi shed in connection witb the brsncb of tbe Board\nof Trade to be shortly formed in town.\nNeither sre we going to anticipate their\nrights. But will be entirely separate.\nIt will bs ths duty of ths Board of\nTrade and of ths Mining Bureau to\ncollect information also, but tbeir information must be minute snd precise\nand- most be systematised and particularised snd carefully preeerved and\nretained for future reference. The only\nresemblance will bs tbat their information obtained and onr information\nsupplied must be correct snd reliable.\nOur article will generalise tbis information .and tbe publication of our articles will spread it fsr snd wide, beyond mountain and sea we hope.

The\nprovincial accounts, lately submitted\nto the Legislature, show that with a\npopulation that can hardly exceed 15,-\n000 it has a net debt of 4,088,291 dollars, and that last year with a revenue\nof 989,765 dollars it had au expenditure of 1,906,924 dollars.\nThis is clipped from a down east\njournal called the Orillia Packet, published somewhere in Ontario. A province considerably smaller than British\nColumbia, only about half its size,\nwhich will be news to the Editor of\nthat Journal. We do not know how\nthe editor arrived at, his information\nin regard to, the number of our population\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwe shall deal witb his financial\nfigures afterwards\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbut if he had taken tbe trouble to refer to the last census\nreturns, whiuh he will fiud published\nin every Almanac, some of which are\nobtainable for a few cents, and might\nbe a good investment to that editor,\nhe would bave found tliere recorded the\ncensus returns for British Columbia in\n1891 were 98,173. Tbis is six years\nago\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhut a change since then. In\naddition to our natural and proportional increase, there has been a great influx of population into Souteern British Columbia and when we estimate\nour total pepulaniou at 120,000 we estimate it at a very modest figure.\nPerhaps we have been unnecessarily\nblaming the editor for his want oi\nknowledge, when the real person responsible is his proof reader. Iu that\ncase the editor and we do not differ\nmuch in regard to population\nHe will put the number at 150,000\nwhile we prefer to be modest and place\nit at 120,000.\nWe cannot however blame tbe compositor in regard to the financial figures. The true blame rests with Mr.\nEditor, We have not much fault to\nfind with these figures, only he has so\nstated them as to make the service up\npear the better for his object, We do\nnot know where he took his figures\nfrom, we take uur figures from tbe\nProvincial accounts themselves and\nthere find that the total revenue was\n$1,156,088.98 and that our net expenditure was 91,614,723,62. In that\nyearly expenditure is included the sum\nof 1257,908,88 expended on the new\nParliament House. Buildings which\nore being erected at Victoria tot the\npurpose of anchoring the Capital on\nthe Island for the next hundred years.\nWe admit the amount of our net\ndebt, and* also admit we have little to\nsliow for it beyond a few roads and a\nfew trails and a Turner Government.\nHad he attacked that government we\nmight have been with him. The\ntrouble is we do not epend enough\nmoney to open up the resouces of the\ncountry, Iu fact we'will aoou hare\nmore to open np.' The Government is\ngiving them away-flH-ta-MEright\nand left. We have a country of great\nresources, a healthy climate, a law\nrespecting people and the crookedest\ngovernment under the eun-the Western sun.\nWe have a big province and the\nonly 'hings we need sre population\nand a decent government. We give a\nfew more facts to interest the Orillia\nPacket Editor. We admit we are behind as regards population but as regards oor wealth and our cont ributions\nto the Dominion Exchequer we make a\ngood show. Our duties in 1895,which\nis the Isst returns available, was tl,*\n063,691 which thus placed our Province a long way ahead of New Brunswick. Manitoba and Prince Edward\nIsland. In regard to our exports we\nwere fourth on tbe list and again\nahead of these provinces. The want\nof knowledge down eoat concerning onr\nProvince ie most extensive snd we\nehsll take every opportunity of enlightening the east with our wisdom\nfrom the west. We do not complain\nof this want of knowledge, but we\nthink we are entitled to complain\nwhen this want of knowiedge is paraded by editors of eastern papers as if it\nwere a virtue of which they were preeminently proud.\n* *\nIs our columns are found a summary\nof the Dominion estimates so far as\nthese apply to our Province. We are\nvery much disappointed with the perusal. Our Province has been treated\nin a most niggardly manner.. In addition to the principal estimates, which\nwe presume would be the expiring\nefforts of the last government. We\nhave two supplementary estimates\nwhich would be the result of the present Government, as there are additional grants to our Province to the extent\nol 40,100 dollars. Our Province is\nmuch more important than some\nwhich have been treated in quite a\ndifferent manner, witb a libera ity almost amounting to profuseness. We\nproduce a big revenue to the Dominion\nand we have a big province to develop\nand we expect to be treated if uot generously .at least with a spirit of fairness and equality. The Dominion is\ngoing to spend close on 200,000 on\ntelegraph lines and out of that sum\nless than 20,0U0 ...liars is to be spent\nin the province, and of that sum 5,000\ngoes to the Island, where it is not so\nmuch needed as iu East Kootenay.\nWe say this is most unfair. On railways aud canals the Dominion is going to expend close upon 185,000 dollars and not a single cent comes to\nBritish Columbia. We are not even\ngoing to get the Crow's Nest railway\nafter all their promises.' Wo are paying pretty heavy for the piper, and are\nsurely entitled to call for some of the\nmusic. Why is there uot a sum iu the\nestimates for u telegraph line between\nGolden and Fort Steele and thence on\nto Kalispel. Had our own district\nbeen down east, we venture to say,\nthat at this time of tbe day we would\nnot have been making a similar enquiry. All that the Dominion allows\nfor this important district of East\nKootenay is a miserable pittance oi\n4,600 dollars to improve tbe navigation'of the Columbia. How much improvement will there be on that sum.\nThe Dominion seems to be acting on\nthe principal o' taking as much as'\nyou are able but giving as little as you\ncan help. The Columbia river is a\nnavigable river and the protection ol\nits banks should be a Dominion concern but yet it shirks this responsibility and gets our province to contribute\nover 10,000 dollars for tbe purpose.\nTne Turner Government is capable of\nany act of stupid folly and this piece\nof folly is only in keeping with their\npast conduct. The development of the\nprovince is to it a matter of ntter on*\nconcern. It prefers to squander its\nresources. We hud a change of government in the Dominion and we surely need a similar change iu our Province. But we are enquiring have we\nobtained any benefit from the change.\nPromises were made and pledges were\ngiven, and it shall be onr duty to see\ntbat these were uot mere words of\npromise, held to our ears for the purpose of being broken in our lio|ie. We\nhave bad some experience in East\nKootenay haw these promises were.\nkept aud pledges fulfilled in the withdrawing of our weekly mail and substituting a fortnightly service. Tbis\nhss now been put right. But we are\njust where we were, we sre uo further\nforward. We want more of our own\nmoney spent ou ourselves, for useful\npurposes sud for tlie U-uelit of East\nKootenuy iu particular aud the province in general. When the present\nDominiou Government was in opposition we have'recollection that one of\nthe principal attacks on the Government's policy by some of the present\nmembers was: \"What is the Government doing to develop British Columbia.\" We ask the same question snd\nwill keep asking il iu many forms\npractical and otherwise, not only until\nwe gain an answer but until we see in\nthe estimate., sufficient contributions\nto British Columbia, among whioh\nthere must be sufficient eume to build\na telephone or telegraph line between\nGolden and Fort Steele, and give these\ntwo places s bi-weekly service,\nNOTICE.\nTake notice that I intend to apply to J F\nArmstrong, Esquire,Stipeiidiary Magistrate,\nfor a License to sell wines, liquors, etc, etc,\nby retail on the premises kuown as tlie IJus-\nsel House, Golden.\nGolden, B.C., March Hth, 1897.\nC.

After completing\nhis studies at home he started to make\na tour of the world. His companion\nthrough India and the East was the\npresent Czar of Russia, Nicholas II.,\nwho wns then the Czarewitch. While\nthey were travelling through Japan\nthe Czare-dtch was attacked by a\nfanatical Japanesee, and Prince George\nbeat him off with a heavy stick.\nPrince George continued his travels\nalone, and, after seeing the sights of\nthe new world in 1891, he sailed for\nEurope on tlie Cunnrder Servia, which\nbroke a crank pin when two days out\nand was obliged to return. There was\nconsiderable excitement aboard, but it\nwas said that the Prince was the coolest passenger on the steamer, When\nthe Servia got back to New York the\nPrince immediately engaged passage\non the City of New York and sailed\nthe following day.\nOur Dominion.\nThe next official map of Canada will\nshow a marked change in the divisions\nof our great northern territory. Heretofore the entire Hudson's Bay, and\nstretching away to the shores of the\nArctic Ocean, has been variously designated or altogether unmarked by a\ndistinctive appellation of any sort.\nThe new maps will show the whole\nof the far north regularly subdivided\ninto districts. Their names are Un-\ngava, Franklin, Mackenzie and Yukon.\nTJngava includes all the district between Hudson Bay and the Arctic\nOcean, with the exception of the narrow coast line known aa Labrador,\nFranklin includes the great group of\nislands, small continents home of them\nnorth of Hudson Straits and lying between the CGth and 125 degree of west\nloinritiiile. West of this nj-ain is Mackenzie district, taking in the mainland\ncountry between the northern limit of\nAthabasca and tlie Arctic Sen and lying between the 100th meridian of\nlongitude and a line about fiOO miles\nwest of and parallel to the Mackenzie\nriver. Yukon includes the district enclosed between the latter line and the\nnorthern boundary of British Columbia\nthe eastern boundary of Alaska, and\nthe Aac'ic Ocean In his forthcoming\nyear book, George Johnson, the Dominion -statistical!, devotes a chapter to\ndelimination of these boundaries nnd\ndescriptions of the vast territory they\nenclose, and he has added to bis table\nof areas of Provinces a computation of\nthe surface of these newly named districts, which serves adequately to demonstrate their immensity.

I\nIi* leaves s wife snd two daughters, j\nWhere 1* Yukon ?\nYukon isau immense territory which\nliea norch of British Columbia aud extend* down to the Arctic regions. It\nlies between the Province of Alaska,\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhich is its western boundary and\ntbe territory of Mackenzie which is ils\neastern boundary. It is named after\nits principal river the Yukon, whose\nhead waters are in this territory, and\nwhioh flows north-westerly through\nAlaska iuto the Retiring Sea. Its extent in urea will exceed that of our\nprovince. As a territory it only came\ninto existence last year, and previously\nformed part of that great and undefined area culled the North West Territories. The Yukou region wus always famed for' its fur and salmon,\nwith a little placer mining. Now it\nhas bounded to the front as containing\nsome ol the richest placer mining in\nthe world. It bus a abort, hot summer aud a dry, cold winter, much like\nthat of Minnesota. It is a region of\nlow undulating ranges, of grassy\nmountains and extensive wooded river\nvalleys The territory is administered\nby the Dominion Government, who\nlately seut in a detachment of mounted\npolice lo preserve peace and order\namong the miiieis. There has been a\ngreat rush there. There will now be\n1500 people where there used ouly to\nbe some 300. The chief centre is\nCircle City and at Bonanza Creek, 200\nclaims all placer .have been staked out.\nThere is a depth ot a feet of gravel to\nthe bed rock. The rook is decomposed\naud can be easily worked. Some of\nthese claims are very rich and go from\none to twenty.live dollars to the pan\nof gravel. ' The highest bit of gravel\nwent eighty-seven dollars to the psu.\nEast Kootenay has never been able to\ndo anything like that. The next great\ncentre is Forty Mile, au.1 in the now\nfamous Klondyke district there are 500\nclaims recorded. It ia considered a\npiece of the richest placer ground in\nthat region.\nAll the placer claims, when once\nopened, oau lie worked during tlie winter time. When winter sets in there\nis a solid freeze aud tlie ground is\nbaked hard. Drifting then can be carried on aa there is uu fear of water\npercolating ami drawing out until the\nsummer season arrives. The gravel\ncan thus bs easily removed, mined out\nas if it was reef rock, piled outside uutil summer arrives wheu.it is treated\nhydruulicully, there then being abundance of water although it practically\nstops all mining operations until the\nairival of next winter.\nA great difficulty is how to get there\nTliere are three routes, but everv one\nof tbem passes through Auitricun territory, aud there ia much controversy\nas to which is the best route. The\nfirst is Up the Sticke-m river, across n\nplateau at the foot of tbe Tesliu Luke\nwhioh extends from the north of B.C.\nto the south of Yukon. The second ia\nup the Taku river and then serosa to\nthe Tesliu Lake. This ia a much\nshorter route by land. The period for\nnavigation on these rivers is very-\nshort, much shorter than that on the\nColumbia and the dangers sre more\nnumerous. The Stickwii route is open\nfor about three months and the Taku\nroute about one month. There may be\nhowever good land travel. The Dominion Government ia apending 6,000\ndollars for exploring and surveying\nthe country lying between tbe Siickeeti\nriver and the sources of the Yukon\nriver, which is uow going on. The\nthird route seems to be most favored.\nIt is up the long narrow inlet called\nths Lynn Canal and then through the\nWhite Pass iuto Yukon. Jt is the\nshortest land route. Taking this way\nDoualss Island with the far famed\nTreadwell gold mine is passed. It is\nthe largest quarts crushing mill iu tlie\nworld. This ia *,heroute must favored\nby experienced and practical men. A\ngood trail from the head of navigation,\nwhiah will remain open, can easily be\nconstructed. A foreign company\ncalled the Yukon Mining Trading and\nTransportation Company is seeking to\nobtuin from our Provincial Parliament\na charter to constrict a Hue of railway from the head of navigation on\nTaku Inlet to Tesliu Luke. It is to be\nhoped this is not to be made a pretext\nfor grabbing aome more land of the\nprovince, and atill further depriving\nita people of their resources.\nIt is a difficult country to got into\nbut it is a hard couutry to get out of\niu the winter time. It has been estimated that the cost of getting out\nwould nearly defray the expenaps of a\ntrip around tba world. Everything is\nso expensive. It is a forty-five days\ntravel and everything has to be provided, fur robes, winter underwear,\nsl.epfug tents, sleigh aud dags for the\nsleighs, snd feed. The expenses would\ncorns to the neighborhood of one thousand dollars. Yet those who have Ik-en\nin speak enthusiastically about ita\ngreat possibilities, snd tbs richest\nground is on the Canadian side. There\nare aleo rich grounds on the American\nside and there are numerous disputes i\nshout that determining line called the\nInternational boundary. Canada again\naccording to the poor American is the\nagreisor and in tlie wrong and her\nmillers are crossing the line and staking out claims and her government is\ncollecting dutiea from Canadian and\nAmerican alike. It is well our southern boundary has been so long defined,\nas there might have beou a possibility\nof Trail creek having been found by\nAmericans to be in the State of Washington.
