Tobacco, spirits, and light merchandise, which are now a source of\nconsiderable revenue to the government can be transported in airships across the borders and the\ncustoms officials will be powerless\nto prevent it, Within five years,\nInstead of the ships themselves being regarded as a novelty, the man\nWho does not possess one will be\nlooked upon by his fellow-men\nVery milch as is the man today\nwho does not advertise, as lacking\nin enterprisCi\nAnd herein lies the remedy for\nsupplying the deficit in the revenue. Impose a tax upon these\nairships.

That i6 the\npoint raised by Major F. D. Badcn-\nPowell in the new number of the\nNational Review.\nHe points out that in about four\nyears time we may reasonably expect to be able to say that flying\nis common. \"It may perhaps be\nlooked upon as a somewhat venturesome practice, and among the\ngeneral community may not lie exactly an every day experience, but\nmost well-to-do people will have\nmade a trip and many will own\nmachines and make almost daily\nruns.\n\"Then, of course, smuggling will\nbe the easiest thing in the world.\nEven suppose it were not practicable to convey large cargoes of goods\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand there is no reason why this\nShould not be done gome day\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDstill\nit would undoubtedly be possible to\ncarry parcels of 100 pounds or so.\nIf such an amount can be taken\nthrough the air free of duty it will\ncertainly open up a new field for\nthe smuggler. Considering, too,\nthe rapidity and ease with which\nmachines are likely to travel, they\ncould be employed continually going to and fro over the frontier,\nand so transporting large quantities of dutiable goods.\n\"The very idea of frontier guards\npeems impracticable; they would\nhave to be posted at every few hundred yards along the frontier. It\nhas to be remembered, too, that the\ncrossing of a frontier does not necessarily imply that the vessel is\ngoing to descend in the country it\napproaches. For instance, a British machine in going to Germany\nmight want to cross over parts of\nBelgium and Holland.\n\"Altogether, it seems an If it\nwould be impossible to enforce any\nlaw as to machines being compelled\nto descend at a frontier, and this\nimplies that customs in the main\nwill have to be abolished.\n\"By this simple statement that\ncustoms must in future be dispensed with involves a matter of\nsupreme importance. As regards\nGreat Britain, our revenue from\nimports amounts to something like\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD3;i,000,000 per annum, and if we\nWipe out this sum with one stroke\nof the pen, what arc we to (substitute in its place'/\n\"Here is a point having an important bearing on that great topic\nof the day^-tariff reform. As a\nmatter of fact, however, the main\narguments of that refer chiefly to\nWheat, timber and other imports.\nWhicli arc not likely at first to be\naffected by aerial navigation. Indeed, it would almost seem that a\ntiix on such commodities would be\nthe solution of the difficulty of being unable to continue the duties\non tobacco, spirits, etc.\"\nOrigin of Game of Poker\nA writer iii the Paris Figaro has\ndiscovered that poker is not an\nAmerican game, but an old French\ngafue revived, The news gets a\nconspicuous place oh Figaro's first\npage, for the game of draw, under\nits Gallicized title of \"pokaiie\" is\nhighly popular in fashionable circles. Indeed, at the clubpj When\nbaccarat if* not the game\", ctird-\npluyers are never so happy as when\ntalking of \"ae Woof\" and \"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD fool-\nhouze.''\nThe Writer say's he made the discovery in a little Normandy village, where, after a day in the fields\nwith an ilgcd worthy of the locality, he was invited to a game? o!\ntarde for repose,\n'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDWhat Shall we play?\" he asked,\nhnd wiitf somewhat surprised to\ntaar tlie old man ask:\n''Po yoij know the game of poke?\"\nBut astonishment grew when his\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfriend began to explain the principles of \"poke,\" and it was found\nthat they were almost identical\nwith the fashionable game of \"po-\nkaire\" imported, as had been supposed, from America.\n\"It's a very old game in Normandy,\" said the old man, who\nwas noted for his knowledge of the\nlore of that region. To prove it he\nproduced two ancient volumes, one\nentitled \"L'Academie Unjverselle\ndes Jeux,\" and printed in 1718 by\nTheodore LeGras. On page 225\nwas found a description of the\ngame of \"poke.\" One can play the\ngame of \"poke,\" it says, with from\nthree to six person's. Each one is\ndealt six cards; after looking at the\nhand to see if one has a poke, two\nor three or four aces, or cards of\nlower denomination, ace being the\nhighest, the first player says, \"I\npoke a chip\" (jeton), or more if he\nso desires. Any of the others can\nalso place a jeton on the table, or\ncan advance or raise the play, or\nhe can throw down his hand, in\nwhich case the player who has won\nneed not show his hand, but takes\nall the jetons. Any player has a\nright to say, \"I poke all I have,\"\nand if no other player will poke all\nhe has the one first poking his pile\nwins without being compelled to\nshow what cards he has.\nHave your shoes repaired neatly\nat Shade's shoe shop, opp. postoffice.\nCHURCH SERVICES.\nMethodist Church.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDRev.

Prince Rupert\nTHESE are but a part of the Fit-Reform fashions for 15109, but they\ngive a good idea of the taste and originality of the Fit-Reform\ndesigners. It may be that we have not shown just the style that appeals to you. We have some that will, be sure of that, and will gladly\nshow them when you call. It is always a pleasure to demonstrate the\nsuperiority of Fit-Reform garments. We trust you will give us this\npleasure soon. The Fit-Reform trademark carries with it the strongest\nguarantee ever given with a suit or overcoat. It not only says \"money\nback if satisfaction be not given,\" but the company behind the trademark insures you getting your money back. It is placed only in garments that have passed the rigid inspection of the Fit-Reform experts.\nAnd we will take it as a personal favor if you will bring to our attention any garment bearing this trademark which may not come up to\nthe Fit-Reform standard. We not only make the guarantee good but\nthank you for your trouble Every Fit-Reform suit and overcoat is made\nas though the Fit-Reform reputation depended on those individual garments. From the time the cloth goes to the cutters until the garments\narc ready to try on, every stage of the making is carefully watched.\nWhen the completed garments leave the last tailors, skilled experts examine every detail of workmanship to make doubly sure that each garment is worthy of bearing the Fit-Reform trademark. Fit-Reform has\nwon the bulk of its customers from men who formerly patronized the\nbest custom tailors. Fit-Reform has clearly demonstrated that a man\ngets better value for the money in these garments than he can get at a\ntailor's. Aside from the greater variety to choose from and the Fit-\nReform trademark to guarantee satisfaction, there is tlie added pleasure of having garments ready to try on, alterations made if necessary\nand the perfect fitting suit or overcoat delivered the same day it is ordered. This no alight convenience to the busy business man.\nNorth Coast Commercial Company, Limited\nCASCADE LAUNDRY.\nLaundry for the Cascade, Vancouver, will be sent down on each\ntrip of the str.
