Read their story: HOW THEY WERE MADE HAPPY Lady Caller : Why, Mrs R , I am glad to find you so comfortable and happy in your newly- fumiahed home. But I thought you were going to board until spring V Mns. R.: It was our intention to board until we saved enough to pay cash {orwhat we needed to start up housekeeping, but saving money is not so easy, and you know George got hurt in a wreck down the line and waa laid up for some time. So after reading of the C. C. STORES' CREDIT SALE in the " Herald " of Jan. 31st, we thought it a splendid chance to start up, and pay for the goods on THEIR EASV PAYMENT PLAN. Lady Caller : I always deal with the C. C. S. It is so convenient to buy all you require at one place, and there is tbe greater advantage, I think, of being able to confine yourentireaccount to one house. Mrs. R,. That is just what I was going to remark. We have only one account, and bave furnished this house complete- PARLOR, DININO-ROOM, TWO BEDROOMS, aud the KITCHEN. Besides the FURNITURE, we got CARPETS, LINOLEUM, PICTURES, CURTAINS, BLINDS, DISHES, and we got BABY'S BUOOY there too. Then George got SHOES for me, UNDERWEAR and OLOVES for himaelf. Our OROCBRIBS-wo bought them all there. The Grocery Bill has to be Paid in Full every 30 Days Lady Caller i Did I understand you to aay that you furnished two bedrooms 1 Mrs. R.: Oh, I nearly forgot to tell you ; that was part of our plan. It only cost $42.50 more to fit up the extra bedroom, and we rent it for f 10.00 a month. That practically pays our monthly instalment on the entire bill of furniture. Lady Caller : Buying on credit, did you not pay a much higher price than paying oaBh ? Then some stores have n private selling price, which enables tueui to put a little uu to credit customers. Mrs. R.: I think we bought everything very reasonable, and as for putting ou a little to credit customers, that is impossible in the C. C. STORES. Everything is marked in plain figures. I wilt get the bill. Just look through it and judge for yourself. Lady Caller i Those prices are very reasonable indeed. What terms of repayment did you get ? Mrs. R.i We made a small payment in rash, the balance weekly payments of $11.00. TELEPHONE NO. 9 Mrs. R- Cranbrook, B. C, Feb. 15th, 1007 IN ACCT. WITH Undertaking in Connection FOR THE C. P. R.

Fagan, provincial health ot- flcer, announced last week that the Dominion government had come to tlie assistance oi those interested in the proposed British Columbia tuberculous sanitarium by offering a grant of 400 sores of land located at Fish lake, which offer, Dr. Fagan stated, would be accepted. Fish lake lies about ten miles i.ortbcast from Mam- met lake, Is about iwetity-four miles north of Nicola ami sixteen miles south ol the C. P. R. main line. The Itilude of Hie lake is some 4200 feet bote si-si level. This altitudo is considered a little too high to be suitable lor the general sanitarium, ami several properties along Kamloops lake at an average altitude of 1100 feet have been selected as the best possible location for the institution, ami one of these will eventually lie chosen. None ol these locations is more than twenty miles Irom Fish lake am) it is intended to use It as what- might be termed an auxiliary. II it is lound Hint the finances will stand the outlay, small houses wlli be erected on this land, and under other circumstances, tent, will be erected for the accommodation ol (hose suffering from the ravages- of the white plague. The lower altitudes, Dr. Pagan points out, and the environment ol Kamloops lake, are exactly suited to consumptives in tlie second and third stages ul Ulo disease. The establishment nt Fish lake will be used lur those who are classed as incipient consumptives ami therefore are physically stronger than the others and able to live in a rarer Atmosphere. The land mentioned can therefore he put to valuable use in hastening the recovery ol convalescents and bringing about the quicker healing nl those who plana themselves under treatment before tin. disease obtains a serious hold upon them. Ur. Fagan hopes tn he able lo arrange for the starting of work upon tbe building at Kamloops lake in tbe early spring and expects that the undertaking will he so lar completed by the tall, so that it will be possible to accept patients. Dr. Fagan Is confident lhat the success of his pet scheme is at last practically assured nnd as a practical demonstration is already planning an appropriate opening (or llie Institution, which, he feels sure, will do much to promote the general health and happiness of the people of Mils province. It Is his Intention to run an excursion to Kamloops lake us soon as the. building is ready lor occupancy. All the business men and others Interested in Vancouver and Victoria and other points on the coast, will te Invited to malm the trip. He points out that the journey to the interior is pleasant in the lull ol the year, presenting an evor- clianging variety of the grandest scenery to be found anywhere in the world, Irom the time the train draws out from Vancouver. ——H SCHOOL CHILDREN FOOD FOR FUMES A LADY TEACHER SACRIFICES HER LIFE FOR HER PUPILS. Montreal. Feb. 26.-A total death rate ol 17 is the tragic result ol a holocaust which swept the Hochclaga Protestant school in tbe east end ol this city this torenoou. The sombre nature ot the catastrophe was relieved of its horror hy an exhibition of rare heroism on the part ol tbe principal, Miss Maxwell, who lost her. own lite while trying to save her charges. Tbe pitiful features of the disaster is that the whole loss ol life appears to have been due to neglect of most elementary precautions on the part of the authorities, who are supposed to see after the safety as weli as education of their young charges. Although the children were not properly trained in tire drill, which might possibly have saved them all, Uw teachers undertook to get them out ot the building with as little alarm as possible and when-' the alarm was given, calmly told their classes to put on their wraps and go home. But the fire spread with such fatal rapidity that almost ball the children, the youngest ones, were shut off tn the upper story. Irom escape. Smoke prevented their going down stairs and no other method ot escape was possible. Bctore the fire alarm was sounded, the men ot the local station were on their way there, a passerby having seen the smoke and dropped in to warn the brigade. Immediately Captain Carson and a number ol bis men started out to the scene ami he- tore the lirst alarm bad finished sounding they were preparing lo rescue the children. So speedily bud the flames spread, however, that even In these few minutes -those children, who had not escaped at. the lirst call, were pinned in Hie upper flats ol Hie school with a seething furni.ee of smoke and flame beneath tlu'tn. At every window were seen the imprisoned children and teachers, while trom the windows on the lower flat nothing could be seen but evidences of Are. Captain'Carson nt once organized his men lo set up extension ladders to lire second story window where Miss Maxwell was slgnnlllng for help. The ladder was pinmnlly run up and every man who could crowd upon :t. got in position to make a living chain to rescue Hie III tie ones. Captain Carson headed tin. ladder inside the window where was Miss Maxwell, surrounded by a swarm ol children, excited almost to the limit ot. endurance. As soon as the firemen bad formed their living chain ii safety, Miss Maxwell handed belittle pupils one by -one to Captain Carson and they were swiftly passed down the ladder from band to hand to the ground. Thus the work went on until probably 10 of the children had been saved and it seemed that mine were lelt. The Captain Carson called to Miss Maxwell. to save herself. "No, there are others inside and I must save them," she replied, and ran hack to look for the other little ones who she knew must be on tho upper floor. That was the end. "Miss Maxwell ran hack and we called to her to come out, as the room was lull ol smoke and liames,' said Captain Carson. "I saw her hurry to look for any ol the children who might have been overcome. We would not lollow her, it would have -been simple suicide. A moment later she (ell in the thick moke. It was all wc could do, and an hour later, her body was carried through the window along with those ol the children she hat tried so hard lo save."

Thus ut llie present iunelini*, the Koolenav Central would not bo a businesslike venture. Such is the plural decision of President Sbaugbncssj after n meeting of his company a short time ago. "In substance the Kootonav Central is absolutely powerless lo profs finances. tho being less as anv ri 11- pt> ed ^___ Dominion subsldv al than one half as great wav company that has vet fli Us bonds In R.

Heavy seas quickly pounded the vessel" lo pieces. She broke in two, her fore part sinking immediately, while the doomed passengers! and crew could be seen for a brief space clustered on the after part. Then tbe latter slipped oh the ledge ami disappeared in the mountainous waves. Tugs and lifeboats promptly put out to the assistance of the Berlin, but lhc violence of the gate and the heavy seas made it impossible to approach the wreck and the helpless spectators saw the steamer break up ami the crew and passengers washed away without being able to render the slightest assistance. One man, an Englishman, was saved. He was unconscious when dragged out of the water and taken ashore, aud had not, regained consciousness when he was carried to a hotel in the neighborhood. By 11 o'clock in the morning 2a bodies had been washed ashore. 1 LIMBER BUSINESS IN ONTARIO An estinwtc of the quantity of limber which will lie cut in the forests of Ontario during the winter of 1000-11)07 bus been made by the officials of the Department of Lauds, Forests and Mines.

It is estimated that the lumbermen will fell 1,000,- 000,000 feet hoard measure of pine this vear. 7U,000,nil0 feet hoard measure of hemlock, 1,500,000 feet board measure of spruce, I,il.j0,nil0 cubic feel nf square timber, 100,0(111 cords of pulpwood and 4.500,000 railway lies. The activity in railway, con- structlon throughout the country has created a great demand for ties, and the production in Ontario will in consequence increase this year. id POWER OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND London, Feb. 13.—When the Bank . of England, last October, unexpect- edly'increased its discount rat* to li per cent, a rate touched but once before since the Baring panic in 1833 a general alarm spread over all Europe, causing sharp fluctuations in the foreign exchange markets in Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Amsterdam aud Hamburg. In New York there was an immediate advance of over 60 points in sight exchange, thus effectually preventing the continuance of gold imports from London. The stock market was thrown into a stale of complete demoralization, the sharp break in prices being accomplished by wild rumors that Russia was about to default in the interest payments nn its onprmous national debt. Why a simple change in' the discount rate of the Bank of England— the rate of interest ot which one bank is willing to loan money to Its customers—should be a matter, of such importance to tbe money markets of the entire world seems, at first glance, a little eurious. That is a matter of vital moment tn the whole of Ihe commercial world is known to everyone interested in anyway in foreign trade, yet the reasons why such a worldwide el- tc< I should be produced by the change in the rate at which a single hank- is willing to loan money are not clenrly understood hy many, even on tlie slocta exchange So closely ennneeted nowadays are financial centers of the world, capital can so readily he transferred from one city to another, that anv change in the interest rate at anv one important financial center usually has au immediate effect on ihe money markets of every other important financial center. This is particularly true of London, as this eitv Is not only the financial center of Great Britain, hut tlie clearing house and financial center nf the entire commercial world as well. It is through its almost complete control of the money market of London that the Bank of England influences the money markets of the entire world. The conditions rendering possible the control of interest rates in London hy the Bank of England are interesting and worthy of a brief description. Willi very few exceptions the banks throughout England do not pay a fixed rate of interest the year round nn deposits, but the rale paid beats a definite relation to tbe Bank of England rate. In London and Liverpool, for instance, the hanks usually advertise to pay about U per cent below the official hank vale" on deposits. The same system is followed In making loans. A London banker rarely lends money for any length of time at a fixed rate of interest, but, i nst ea d, protect s it self from possible sharp fluctuations in the money market by making loans on a sliding scalr which bears a fixed relation to the official bank rate. Any advance or reduction in flle Bank of England discount cam.-.*, a simultaneous change in, the interest rate charged by every import-ant bank throughout England on Its outstanding loans. Accordingly, not only, every depositor, but practically everv borrower of the Bank of England is affecred by any change in the Bank of England fate. WORK' FOR SIXTY THOUSAND. About sixty thousand men will be required for railway work in Western Canada during tbe coming summer, according to the careful estimate made by investigators into tho situation. Where this large force of men is to be obtained is the question which is giving concern to western contractors, who are anxious to complete contracts already] undertaken. The information lhat so many workmen will be required, and that'they will be paid excellent wages, is welcome news to tbe agents engaged in the work of induction Immigration, and to those who are interested in the growth and progress of the west. It is claimed that the strong demand for labor, with all that it implies, will have a greater influence on local conditions than anything else, and It is anticipated lhat next season will be experienced tn the city and province.—Manitoba Free Press.

The barnacles, the shirks-, the makeshifts, somebody's proteges' somebody's nephews, and especially somebody's good-Ior-nothing, young man, please remember that these are not the ones who arc called for when rcsponsuble positions arc to be filled. Would you like to inlaw your own future for n position nl prominence? (Would you like to know Ihe prohabili- Itios ot your getting such a position' Inquire within! What arc vou doing to make yourself valuable in the position you now occupy? II you are tloinc with your might what your hands find to do, the chances are-ten to one that, vou soon will become so valuable in that position that you cannot be spared from it, and then singular to relate, will be the very time when you will be sought out lor promotion for a better place. It is more pleasant to be Invited to take a higher seat than to be deprived ol it. It is more pleasant to be king of a cottage than .a servant of a palace. It is better to be a good live cent piece than a bogus quarter; in other words, it is better to hold ourselves at what we are honestly worth. The world is full of people who never know or learn anything, because thev think thev know enough to begin with. Thousands are teaching when thev ought to be taueht; thousands ' believe themselves wise when their ignorance is lamentable; thousands believe themselves clothed in gold when they are only thinly plated and the copper shows throuirh in many places. The wisest are comparutivelv ignorant and thousands ol men who have grand) ideas of their own abilities.will some day wake up tn llie realization that thi-y have been laboring under a large sized delusion. Many a young man's life is gilded hv bright dreams that come in the early stage of the Ramc, but later Ire drills that these dreams arc only cinptv, and 0, how little Is the change when it comes. CHARITY AT HOME. No reward comes to him who robs himself of what he needs to sustain life and health, or what is needed to care lor his own, merely to give to those who ask. No man has a right to give what is not fully his .own- no right to give away any time that Belongs to another, to create poverty) In order to relieve poverty; to lose the respect ol his home ones, or to do what will weaken their faith tn him as a provider and a protector. Man's duty Is to Ood, and he discharges the duty when he Is true to the family that is the result ot Ms •"•••a* "flu begetting. Mer err by with-holding when they have means to spare as well as not, and they err by giving heedlessly to the endless J'™* •>■ those whose great aim in lie Is to attach themselves to those Inclined to ehsrtty. Help those who are In sickness, in trouble and distress, If you can do so without robbing your creditors, yoursell or your family. Be just, and then be generous. To give wisely Is an art, to give well is to give successfully. To provide employment Is even humane and wise, but you should give it or find It to those who try to deserve such assistance, not to those who are larv, dirty, shiftless, careless and Indifferent to vnur success. Let those who will not try lo come up just a little hielier, wilh your help, remain where they are, except you are able tn give.

Pat Burns is not much alarmed, al the cattle situation. He should be as close m touch witb conditions as any man in the industry. Speaking recently of tiie effect uf the severe winter on the cattle industry in Alberta. Mr. Burns said lhat as far as -bis Arm is concerned there would be no loss ot stock, as they were all under teed during the extremely cold weather. There is bound to he a certain amount of loss every winter where cattle are not properly looked after. He considered that the loss ot stock was greatly exaggerated and would be found to be not over 25 per cent, ot what was expected. People got excited when the cold weather lasted such an unusually longtime anfa imagined their losses were heavier than they will actually be found to be. The present mild weather will put life into the cattle and restore the industry to its normal condition." » ST. PAUL TO SPOKANE.

J ** J**W**r3M«'frfr*«*&««fr The Manitoba election* which lake place on tbe 7th of March have already worked up a decree ot heat lhat tbe cbiuook is cuusidered a chilly proposition. Candidates on both sides are beginning to bad out tbat they are thieves, scalawags, horse thieves, moral lepers, outcasts, political rcuegades, aud a few more tbingvouly lo he touud iu the vocabulary of the average Manitoba politician. And yet they say that Manitoba is enjoying au advanced stage ol civilization. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has expressed himself as iu favor of the early construction of the Hudson Bay road. He said nothing about the Kootenay Central. The new Sunday act goes into effect tomorrow, and after that, if ih« Uw is strictly enforced, there will be a great change come over our Sunday dreams. It will be contrary to law to buy a paper from tbe Lulled States on Sunday, ll will be contrary to law to buy a cigar on Sunday, it will be contrary to law to tish on Sunday. It will be contrary to law to haul freight on Sunday, unless it is perishable. in fact there are mauy things tbat people of free minds, living in a free country, have been doing on Sunday that they will bave lu refrain from in the future or be classed with criminals. We believe in a day ol rest, but the idea of rest ou the seventh day differs with different minds. Who is to say which is right? A member of the Missouri legislature has brought in a bill making it au unlawful act for any woman iu that state to wear a hat that costs more than $3. The uuiried men of t'ratibtook would give that man a unanimous vote if he were a candidate in this district. II is evident that the reports ol tho loss ot cattle on the prairie provinces were woefully exaggerated. There were a large number of cattle lost from insufficient food, hut as com- paied with tbe whole number of cattle owned in thai part of the country, the loss was very small. The Kcrnie Ledger has been purchased by the Federation of Miners and I). V. Mott, the former owner and editor, has been retained as editor of the paper under tbe new management. The policy ot the paper in the future will be watched with no little interest. There is every reason to believe that the immigration from the States to Canada the coming summer will lie far greater this year than last. The newspapers in the states of Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota aud Illinois, tell of hundreds who bave sold their lands there and are going to come to Canada to make their permanent homes. These men all bave money, they are experienced Stand up for Cranbrook. One of the best boosts that advertising iu newspapers has had for years, and one that may uot coine up again for years, has just been presented at Butte. Mont. There was some trouble with the pressmen and the newspapers, the pressmen do manding un increase in ihe scale. As the papers claimed that they were running at a loss they refused to grunt the increase and a strike foi lowed, The papers suspended and this left the city without any advertising medium. This condition has prevailed for something like two weeks, and the proprietors of the department stores and other large es- tablisbmcuts unite iu saying thai their business has fallen off from forty to sixty per cent, since they have had no opportunity to advertise their goods for the benefit of the public. This fact demonstrates that iu this modern age tlie business man who would succeed must advertise. The people look for it and expect it. Tbey -grail for the invitation to bu\\ and'if the invitation is not extcutleu they fail to buy in the same propor- lion. J l is tlie same iu Cruubtuoi. as in Untie. The advertiser in uruubrooU i-> the successful man. Tin people ol this district look foi what uie merchuuts of tins city nave to say in the columns of the Herald as regularly each week as they look for me town, district aud getiutul news. And tin* larger the circulation in. iiettet it is lor the advertiser. Tin Herald has the circulation, aud am advertiser can come in and salisi) ui.u--.ell by looking over the subscription list or by watching t/iie pres* urn out the papers and keep tau on the automatic counter that will tej. exactly how many p«jil*is ate prim cd. It surely pays io advertise i. you choose the rlgnt medium. Tin ileruld is (lie uieuium lor bast Kou- tenay. One Rev. Prof. Kilpatrick, of Knox College, Toronto, recently addressed the Toronto 1'rcsby terian V ouiih People's Society and iu the course oi uis remarks be gave ihe result of his observations on tht Western mission Held, and paid a tubule to in* women of the Church iu Western Canada, who, he said, were happy wilh their husbands in shacks like piano boxes. The greatest grief in A Inert.i was the Mormon settlement. These people were Mormons first aud Canadians afterwards. Across the Ureal Divide the work was harder. They hud splendid mou, but wickedness was rampant, and often entrenched. Cranbrook, It. C, as lovely as an English park, was a seal tn Satan. What do the good people of Cranbrook thing of such slanderous statements as these given to the people of Toronto and the east generally? So far as the Mormons are concerned, we can* say that they have proven a well behaved, industrious class of immigrants, and since coming to Canada, have made their section of Southern Alberta blossom like the rose and earned for their people the reputation of being law abiding, conscientious and loyal. Hut the .Mormons arc able to take care of themselves against such attacks as are delivered by Mr. Kilpatrick. Hut when it comes to any man, no matter who he is, stating that Cranbrook is "the seat of Satan," we feel that it is time to call a halt. Ou what grounds did Mr. Kilpatrick make this outrangeous statement? Was it because there arc hotels that sell liquor in this town.' Was it because there are men who at times get more than they should have of intoxicants? Was it because he had seen men in rough clothes who had just come in from the bush from weeks of hard toil and (failed to lend church to hear the reverend gentleman? Was it because he had been told that there were places of sin in tills fair town? Arc these the reasons that he should advertise Cranbrook in tlie east as the wickedest city in Western Canada? We believe we are safe iu the assertion when we say that Cranhrook has more churches in comparison to hei population than Toronto, the good that she has more people attending) church in proportion to her population than Toronto, the good; that the people of Cranhrook spend more money for church purposes in proportion to their wealth than the people of Toronto, tho good; that there are more readers of good literature iu Cranhrook in proportion to the population, than there are in Toronto, the good; thai there are more honest workers for a livelihood iu Cranbrook in proportion to tin* impul.ition than ihere are in Toronto, the good; that there are less places of sin in Cranhrook in proportion to the population than there are in Toronto, the good; that there are fewer liars, fewer hypocrites, fewer sycophants, fewer moral lepers, fewer gamblers, fewer slanderers in Cranbrook in proportion to tbe population than there are in Toronto, the good. Whv should Mr. Kilpahrick pick out Cranbrook as the Sodom of the west, when a little observation would have shown him the truth? Why should he try injure this town, when there are hundreds no better and no worse? Mr. Kilpatrick is Tn mighty poor business when he gets hack to the east, after having been treated in most cordial manner in this town on the occasion of his visit, and give utterance to such a vile slander. The Liberals ot the Dominion gov eminent should take hold of the charges of graft that are being freely circulated hy the opposition,' and prove that they are absolutely false. If this is not possible, then use the iron hand of power to get rid ot the grafters. No party can survive the blight of political grafters. It is reported that there arc 413 Chinamen in Cranbrook. That is far to many for a town this size. That new joint city and provincial building is still up in the air, that is tbe construction of the building. Mayor Bonne!I, of Kcrnie, has promised to prosecute tbe gamblers of his town. The new mayor will have his hands full. Fernie is a great town for municipal strife. A municipal election looks bigger to the average Fernie!te than a Dominion contest. Antyissudor Hryce, tbe new English representative at Washington, will receive a salary of $ju,tiou aud $10,- Wu to get located. The government of Alberta will control the telephone situation of that province, The new Liberal government iu Alberta Is doing some things for the people. The license commissioners of Toronto have been accused of receiving becks from applicants for licenses We wonder where they learned that kind of business. Of all the tommy rot that has been written or talked on the new Sunday law is the statements made by the radical advocates of this law regarding the publication of Sunday papers. Anyone who knows anything about the business knows thai necessarily nearly all the work done on a Sunday paper is performed on Saturday, while nearly all the work done ... a .Monday morning paper must he dime on Sunday. The Nelson News is an illustration of this very point, and yet the advocates of this law would, by cutting out the Sund.iv morning paper, force tbe employees ol the News to labor nearly all daj Sunday. There are a loi of fuiiuv things in this world. Boost the board of trade, and thereby boost your own interests. The Canadian Pacific land department is doing a lot of effective advertising this year, aud it is going to count Plant a few trees around your premises this year. You will be thankful for it in a few years. "Wine, women and graft" is the phrase coined by Mr. Fowler iu the Dominion house the other day, and he said that he would retaliate on some of the members and show them up in the light of truth. And im mediately there w-as a rush for tbe doors by members of both sides ol the house. They did not propose to take any chances. We were asked last week how we could afford to get out a paper like the Herald in a town the size of Cranbrook That is easy. The people show their appreciation by giving the Herald the' largest circulation of auy paper published in the west in a town the size of Cranbrook, This is going to be a good year for the business men of Cranbrook to take a Ween interest in important public meetings. Do not leave it for a few to look after when anything* comes up that is of interest to Cranbrook. Every business man can spare an hour once'in a while for tho benefit of the town. Work together. In union there is a big pull. It has been discovered that the Mountain Lu in Im* linens' association pays their secretary a salary. That is more damaging evidence against the association and positive proof ol a combine. The price of lumber is justified by conditions. That is all there is to the proposition. •lust say a good word for Cran* hroob when you are writing to friends. The railway business on the Crow is rapidly increasing. That will be a big thing for Cranbrook. The Herald seems to he gaining in favor with the people. In the last ten days 23 new subscribers have had their names added to the list of the big Herald family, and these names have come in without solicitation. If you want to read the news you had hetter join. Send in one dollar for six months, or if you are skeptical send in your name and get the paper for one month ou trial for nothing. Ynu will never quit after reading the Herald for one month. The Cranbrook board of trade at its annual meeting adopted a resold' lion protesting against the reduction in the tariff on lead. This was the proper thing to do. There is no reason why the interests of the west should sutler for the benefit ot a few paint manufacturers of the east. The reduction asked for would make no difference In the price, the people of Canada would have to pay for paint, but would add dollars to the fortunes of the paint manufacturers, The women of Victoria want the bars taken down and the Chinamen permitted to come into the province at will. Fortunately fop the interests of Mie laboring men of British Columbia the Liberal government of the Dtominion placed the heart tax of $5(10 on the Chinaman and they will keep it there. Dr. Fagan has been working for five years to stir up the people of this province to the necessity of a sanitarium for tuberculosis, and at Inst he Is doing to realize bis HILL & COMPANY still continue to have their store crowded daily with purchasers anxious to take advantage of the unparallelled reductions in prices that are offering.

Mr. Roberts has held the ollice of secretary for the past three years and nt a great personal sacrifice he has attended to the duties of lhat office iu a manner thai hns won for him the praise of everv man who has any interest in Cranhrook. Of the new officers it can be said lhat Mr. Bealo is a pioneer of this district and an old resident of Cranhrook,, and all that n man ean do for the advancement of this town, Mr. Heale, as the Cl.iresholm Review; Bill Bareln t'nu l. see light, ns a result ol wli president of the hoard of trade, will do.

Hay has been in great scarcity this winter, reaching as high as $:ill per ton. Instead of living from hand to mouth, hay should have been stocked for the ' winter. This scarcity should not have been so prevalent, as several tons ■ were allowed to go to waste in the meadows. Several of the saw mills around here have taken in new partners. Uillei's mill, situated near the town, has taken in Mr. A. McNair, ol Vernon, H. C. At Leask's mill two new partners have been taken in, Mr. Johnson, of Craubrook, ami Dr. G. L.

It is a pain in this small place to see that Sunday makes no difference to the saloons and stores. If ojiened after this they will become deliberate transgressors aud if no mental agreement is come to, then steps must Ire taken for tbe due administration of the law. Perhaps someone may think that something of tbe nature of these laws Infringe freedom, but reason must be supreme over freedom. As a man is a member nf the slate il is ihe duty of the state to protect him, being u corporate member and if not. it does injustice to itself. And on the other hand, if a member of the state violates those laws thai are passed to keep him iu a oneness oi goodness, then it becomes incumbent on Ihe other members In keep a vigilant eye on the rights nf the stale and take the steps to protect our well-being, Perhaps some one may ask why it is that this law has been passed"' Because one day nut of seven is called for hy man.

A great authority bus said that he never knew any man who worked seven days in the week and was not guilty of practically committing suicide, physically and morally. The late Mr. Gladstone said that Sabbath observance was one of the chief things to protect and strengthen the character of any nation.

The deceased was about forty-five years of age. Nothing is known as to his antecedents. A rather unusual illustration ot the length of the arm of justice is afforded by a recent Instance. Three horses were stolen over a year ago from a horse rancher named S. W. Frost, of the State of Washington. It transpired tbat tbe animals were stolen by two Indians and run across the line to Fernie, where they were sold. One was re-sold to a Frank party.

CHICAGO MAN HAS COUNTED .•XL UU: STEPS HE HAS WALKED IN 1-uLU VKAUS lialph Newman, a resident ol Edgo- watur, Uucago, bas entered .i boiu- t.uiuui and sought medical assistance tu cute imu ot one uf tlie uuuu.il malatiies thai ever alluded a human being. lit* wants to he cured oi a habit, contracted idly, and without tuougiit of serious cousoquences, ami a huou which has almost ruined him in business, and socially, and wincu he now* fears will drive nun insane. Tin- habit is nut thai ot liquor, drugs, cigarettes or tobacco. n'-bat lie wants lu be cured uf is the habit t-f counting every step he takes during the day. So greatly has tills odd habit grown upon him that he has counted every step taken during Ihe lasl lour years, ami, for the last two years, ending December .hi last, he has not ultly counted his steps, but, every idglit before retiring, has added the last day's total to the gland total. His figures show that during that time be has (akeu and counted u grand total of 1,1111,28-1 steps, and he, figures roughly that he has walked 2,11)1 miles, or an average ol close to three miles a day. During the tour years in which he has been counting his Steps he has discovered Borne wonderful facts concerning Ihe number of steps required io carry him from puiut to point around Chicago, in fact he cau tell without trouble exactly the uuuibei of steps required tu walk from Jack- sun boulevard to Randolph street, along State, and, furthermore, he makes the surprising statement that it takes forty-seven more ijteps io walk south on the cast side and lifty-eight ,ore steps to walk south on the west side than north ou bin* same side. He can tell the number of steps between almost every point iu the city, the (lumber of steps to cover certain distances at certain times of the duy, the number of steps per block on asphalt, on wooden sidewalk, amt on cement sidewalk, and all manner of strange and unusual figures. Besides this he can tell thousands of distances In Chicago, counted by the number of steps, the number ol steps Irom building to building, from corner to corner, and from alley to alley. He has stepped off Chicago until he is familiar with every pavement crack, and every kind of pavement there is. Possibly the only really valuable information to be derived from his habit is that it is easier to walk un cement pavement than on auy othei Kind of pavement exceot on macadam which has been oiled with crude oil. Newman, up lo four years agu, considered himself and was considered a normal man, rather bright, and tolerably successful iu business, lie was married and has one child. His disposition was jolly and he was normal, companionable, and exceeding sane man. One morning he started to walk from his home in Edge water to the elevated station, to was hi.) habit, and he started, in *nly out of idle curiosity and to have something to occupy his mind, to coma the number of steps he would take between his home and the coiner at Pop Morse's. II he could have foreseen the dreadful results perhaps In* would have taken an Evans ton car. These discoveries Interested him and he began to count regularly. He discovered that the number of steps per block taken by a pedestrian on Stale street varies in direct ratio to the number of other pedestrians in the throng. For two years he continued to amuse himself in this thoughtless occupation. Then lie began to count to see how nany steps he took in a day. He extended it to a week, theu to a month. Suddenly he realized that he could not break himself ot the habit of counting bis steps. He tried not to count, hut whenever he walked be found his brain mechanically registering his steps. He realized that thu habit was costing him valuable time, so be strove to break himself of tlie habit of counting his steps. When he discovered that this was impossible, seemingly, he became alarmed. During all this time, in spite of himself, he kept right on counting. Every night,-just before he turned in, he put down in.his note book the total steps for the day, then took nine steps from his bureau to his hod. These nine steps he carried over to the next morning. .So each day the first step he took after getting out of bed he called ten. Tue highest day's total steps in tho two years was IT,294, and the lowest was ail. After he had been counting for a year his wife began to notice his strange abberation and the involuntary movements of bis lips as he walked around the house. His business associates observed tbat he was oddiy preoccupied, and tbat at times they could talk to him for many minutes before be could realize what they were saying. As long as he remained seated he was all right, and could attend to buaiutsa an well us any one, hut all the time that be was on his feet and moving his mind was filled only with tbe figures and occupied by mechanically counting bis steps. 1 DRINK A STRONG BRAND.

Seattle, Wash., Feb. 25.—What perhaps is the largest mastodon ever uncovered completely in Alaska was uncovered during the past six months at Circle City by Max L. Lohbrun- ner. according to advices received in this city from Fairbanks, Alaska. The mastodon was found on Alice creek, a trubutary of Mineral creek, which flows into Woodohoppcr creek. To judge of the other dimensions of the huge monster it must only be said that one tusk, which is still Intact, is more than nine feet, eight inches long, and has a circumference of 18 inches. The jaws of the animal still have teeth, 4 in number. Each ot these teeth, which have been taken out and replaced, weighing 50 pounds. The other parts of< the animal are in a poor state of preservation compared witb the tusk. Lohbruuncr ilug the hones out at a depth of eight feet below the surface of the ground. He took great pains to see that the bones were not burned Into charcoal while he was thawing the ground. Lohbrunner has moved part of the animal into storage at Circle City and will hold it there till spring time, when it will be removed to Seattle, where it will be put together and eventually And its way into Ihe Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, ff the Smithsonian Institute does not. got it before that time. "Alice creek, where I found this mastodon," snid Lohhriinner, "is one of the most wonderful on earth, from, a standpoint of research. It seems to he the boneyard of a lot of prehistoric animals. We have found on the creek the skeletons of mastodons, musk-ox, cariboo, hear and other animals. If this creek ever goes Into a hydraulic mining proposition the worid wilt be astonished with tho many finds." BIG GOLD STRIKE.
