"Devoted to the interests of the Boundary Mining District. The Phoenix Pioneer was published in Phoenix, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from April 1898 to May 1916. The Pioneer was published by the Pioneer Publishing Company, which was managed by W. B. Wilcox (from 1899-1908) and Thomas Alfred Love (from 1908-1911). On August 12th, 1910, the headquarters of the Pioneer burned down, together with a large portion of the town of Phoenix itself, and the paper consequently suffered serious financial difficulties. On April 11th, 1911, the Pioneer was sold to Gilbert Kay, who published and edited the paper until May 1916. The paper was published under a variant title, the Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal, both from 1903-1910 and from 1911-1912."@en . ""@en .

The forestry legislation will not be brought down this session, the government having as a first step presented the extra- comprehensive report of the commission composed of Messrs. F. J. Fulton, K. C.; A.S.Goodeve, M.P., and A.C.Flumerfelt, which goes so thoroughly and expertly., into all phases of the forests problem as to virtually constitute a textbook on this subject. This report will be simultaneously before the local house and the Dominion Conservation Commission (re-assembling at Quebec on the 17th inst) in the important work on which- the British Columbia Forestry Commission members have recently been specially invited to participate. Its contents and recommendations will be critiz- ed and dissected by continentally recognized experts; the forestry conservation legislation of all modern countries will be carefully considered for helpful hints, and later the report and practical suggestions with a view to the improvement of its re- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDcommenclations, will be submitted (as in the case of the coal mines regulations bill) to all the diverse classes directly interested-and public men capable of offering valuable suggestions, so that' when finally completed and adopted, this bill tod may be found worthy of recognition as a world-model in such legislation; Another extra-ihiportant bill foreshadowed in the .government program provides,for the establishment of a department of railways, to be administered for the time being in conjunction with that of public works, by Hon. Thomas Taylor; and also for a reconstruction and consolidation of provincial railway law, so that intended railway.companies need not hereafter apply to Parliament for charter but incorporate as do other business corporations, and obtain building rights upon laying their detail plans before this department, filing their plans and field notes, and depositing in cash with the government a substantial percentage ofthe cost of their proposed enterprises, for the protection of workmen, etc., shutting out all chartermongers while offering no serious handicap to sincere railway builders meaning business. . Bills are also promised ratifying the creation of the Strathcona provincial park on Vancouver Island, assurance of sanitary conditions in railway and logging camps, etc., strictly regulating automobiling throughout the province, in the public safety, and providing foi* more comprehensive surveys and otherwise . facilitating the settlement of actual agriculturalists upon the open lands of British Columbia.

He Had Eczema Doctors Said 25 Years and \"No Cure\" Yet Zam-Buk Has Worked Complete Cure This is the experience of af inan of high reputation, widely known in Montreal, and whose case can readily, be. investigated. Mr. T. M. Marsh, the' gentleman referred to, lives at 101 Delorimier Avenue, Montreal,\" and has lived there for years. For twenty-five years he had eczema on his hands and wrists. The disease first started in red blotches, which itched, and when scratched became painful. Bad sores followed, which discharged, and the discharge spread the disease until his hands were one raw, painful mass of sores. Just think of this state of affairs continuing for twenty-five years! In that time four eminent medical men tried to cure him, and each gave up the case as hopeless in the end. Naturally, Mr. Marsh tried remedies of all kinds, but he, also, at last gave it up. For two years he had to wear gloves day and night so terrible was the pain and itching when the air got to the sores. Then came ^Zam-Buk! He tried it, just as he had tried hundreds of. remedies before. But he soon found -out that Zam-Buk was different. Within a few weeks there were distinct signs of benefit, and a little perseverance with this great herbal balm resulted in what he had given up all hope of\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa complete cure! And the cure was no temporary cure. It was permanent. He was cured nearly three years ago. Interviewed the other day, Mr. Marsh said: ''The cure which Zam - Buk worked has been absolutely permanent. From the day that I was cured to the present moment I have had no trace of eczema, and I feel sure.it will never return. Having suffered for twenty-five years, I had naturally concluded that my case was incurable, and I regard iriy cure as a modern miracle.\" , If yoii suffer from any skin trouble, cut out this article, write across it the name of this paper, and mail it, with a one cent stamp to pay return postage, to Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, we will forward you by return mail a free box of Zam-Buk.

MOTHER DIED OF CONSUMPTION AND ONE LITTLE GBRL IS NOW AT QRAVENHURST. A short time ago a woman in thc advanced stages of tuberculosis died in her own home. By her death five little ones were left without the care of their mother. There was money enough in the family to make somo provision for the care of the children,- bub it was almost impossible to secure anyone who would render this service, so afraid are many people of this dread disease. A visitor to the home says that time and time again ihe had found the baby sleeping in her sick mother's bed, and near by food was stored from which the children pas- took. A sequel is revealed in the fact that to-day one of these five children is a patient in Gravenhurst, and the baby is in the \"children's ward at the Toronto Free Hospital for Consumptives. It is for the care of such sufferers aa these that the Muskoka Free Hospital for Con- aumptives has been built. The tax on the accommodation is heavy, and the Trustees have only been able to make the large extensions of the present year.by borrowing heavily from the bank. An appeal is now made for funds to help on this work and provide a place where children, such as are referred bo here, may find a homo with good possibilities of cure. Contributions may be sent to W.

They are all delighted with the country and the big prices received for everything grown, and place a value of $50 per acre, on their land.
