Mr. Jordan was for many years the editor of the Saturday and that a favorable one. The outlying municipalities, n\. more populated every year, and consequently a greater proportion of their sick finds its way to this city. We have reason to believe that during the past two years at least 25 per cent of the patients treated here came from the Fraser valley municipalities. This proportion is likely to J _ A grow, and there is therefore no doubt that these communi-1 tt'imost ties will recognize their proper course in this matter and come to the aid of the institution which for many years has benefitted Westminster and the valley alike.

"e the municipality to which an indigent patient be- futu longs is responsible to'the hospital up t0��$l per day for1''"1'"' his or her maintenance. This patient when discharged is indebted to his municipality and it is the task of that body to collect moneys due. As an alternative the municipality may agree to pay the hospital a fixed annual grant. A hospital to a certain extent pays its own way. but'it Is most necessary for it to receive support from the communities it benefits.

Cape Town, South Africa, March 5. | One ���One of the chief thingB that strikes ( ference between modern one on visiting tlie Cape after an ab s.uice of a decade, js that it Is an astonishing Ifautiful place In most respects. One has to overlook the Ill-kept and almost aggressively careless aspect of many of Ihe environs of Capetown where corrugated Iron and "useful" but unused rubbish seems to dim one's vision of even the grand old mountain. Apart from this however, one finds endless numbers of exquisite motor or carriage drives, extending for miles any one of which might tend tornake another resort famous. As a striking instanre, there ls a road round from Capetown to Camps Hay which equals, if ll does not surpass, thc famous drive at Monterey In California, or its better known rival, the Corniche road In southern France, which Indeed it so strongly resembles The south Atlantic breakers roll In and break On ttie precipitous rocks below the road, which seems to cling to the steep mountain sides. Owing to there being a dozen clearly defined peaks, those slopes are known as "The Twelve Apostles," but . :rli Is the unity at their base, that a traveller scarcely realises that ho is on anything but ono continuous mountain. Msny varieties of lovely mountain trees are Indigenous to tills country, as are almost all the lilies known to botanists and possibly gardeners abroad hardly remember that the majority cf beautfful heaths and bulbs grown In hothouses grow wild out here and have been exported during the last century or more.

Curving gables of indescribable grace and beauty adorn most of the older farm houses even in Capetown and old established townships. Fortunately a Bchool of architects under Mr. Cecil Rhodes's patronage, revolutionized the stvle of .building adapted here in mid-Victorian days. Not only are Europeans of many na tlon gathered in South Africa to earn a living, but a large number of Am- iricans are also found engaged in mining, fruit-growing and other in-1 dustries. Incidentaly, it may be men- tloned, that Cape fruit, given favor-, able conditions, ia almost unrivalled for flavor. The enormous strides this; industry has made of late years, proves this beyond question.

A novel point in election law was debated yesterday before Judge Howay in the county court. Nr. A. I). Morrison, Matsqui, petitioned the court to declare the election of Councillor T. II. Lehman to Matsqui municipal council, null and ���void, on the ground that Mr. l.ehman \��a8 a Sheriff's officer at the time of election and since. His honor reserved Judgment. Thc Municipal act lays down specifically that no sheriff's officer may be a councillor and the sole point for ���onriilcratinii was whether Mr. Lehman was disqualified by reason of having occasionally served summonses for the fheriff. Mr. G. K. Martin, counsel tor Mr. Lehman, argued that hc was not a regular officer within the meaning of the set Sheriff T. J. Armstrong testified that Lehman had been employed by bin) to serve rnrnmonses. On .Ian. 11 lant he informed the sheriff that owing to his candidature for a councillorship on Matsqui council he could no longer act. but that if the summonses were sent up to him he would make arrangements to have them served by some other person. Lehman had aerved n summons on Keb. 5, after the election.. Mr. "Martin contended thnt liis ar rangement with the sheriff did not constitute Lehman a sheriff's officer. An officer was one charged with the performance of a public duty. Lehman was not in thai position. His duty was simply' to take the in- ���structiuna or directions of tho sheriff when he was required by the Sheriff to serve summonses and for the time being only. He was not charged with any public duty in any particular district, or to act for the sheriff in any particular capacity. Mr. W. J. Whiteside, K.C, for pcti tioner, eubiiiittod that Mr. Lehman was an officer at the time of the election and had been for years past. In tho, Municipal act among the persons ���who may not be elected a councillor, was mentioned a sheriff's officer. Kvrry time Mr. I-ohman got a writ to serve he was a sheriff's officer. Judge Howay said he would consider the -question and if counsel found any authorities bearing on the ���question within the next two or three days, they might submit tin m to him Issue of ��1,438,300 Disposed of London Market���Probably Relieve Situation.

The city of Winnipeg 4 1-2 per cent bonds now stand at a quarter premium and Montreal will probably share the same fate, whereas Toronto remains forlorn at eight points discount. There is talk of other loans of thr same sort appearing, Including one guaranteed by the liritish Columbia government. As there are still nearly ��3,000,000 of Canadian municipality and provincial treasury bills afloat in London, Canadian public finances are by no means clear of tho woods. So recent expressions of opinion made here that borrowers of this class ouglil to limit their demonstration seems perfectly just i Tied. The Pall Mall Gazette today says: "Canada has for the time being, pretty well exhausted the market." This is too sweeping. The fact is the market is not exhausted if proper terms are given, as Indicated above. The i'all Mall Gazette, however, only asserti that the exhaustion Is temporary and contends that as Canada will want much more capital in Ihe future it ii well to slacken the demand just now. mining what must be a great wrong to Canada and the empire.

His claim to the American lightweight supremacy was soon disputed by George Fulljamcs, then Canadian champion, and the men fought on a beach near New York in the summer of 1884, The Canuck was a game and clever fighter, but his seconds had to toBB in the sponge In the twenty second round to save their man from being mauled beyond repair.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT EOR INTER CITY BAIL and board for men who are engaged by the year. Mr. Barrow stated that right now Chilliwack could easily I give employment to over 100 men atj thrse wages. Here, as ln other rural districts of' the province the prejudice against oriental labor was found not to be ao strong as In the larger cities. The farmers would prefer white labor if it could be had, but they regard the oriental as a great deal better than nothing. The mild Hindu sticks to his Job and is therefore more desirable than the transient white man who drifts in from nowhere and flits Immediately after the first pay day. The provincial government has embarked upon an extensive system of compulsory testing of dairy cattle for tuberculosis, with the Intention that all animals found to be affected shall be destroyed. Some of the farmers around Chllllwack are none too sure that the test has the value claimed for It and, they are quite certain that the rate of remuneration paid by the government for slaughtered animalB is not high enough. The government pays two-thirds of the value of each cow killed but not more than $62 for any one cow. As these cows are often worth $150 or more the tuberculin test is likely to uise coiiBldirable loss to some dairymen. Some of the commissioners have been travelling in hard luck thiB week. Commissioner Mackenzie had his pocket picked for $10 on Monday while "A NIGHT OUT."

I'aris, March 5. ���An amazing story Is related in a Geneva despatch to the Excelsior, which has to do with the Russian btiron Ygor Tilinsky, now at Zurich. The baron declares that be holds a claim on the Japanese for $70,000,- 000. According to him. three Russian staff officers, of revolutionary tendencies, sold the plans of the Pacific fortresses, including Porl Arthur, to the Japanese at the. outbreak of the Russo-Japanese wnr. For political reasons they desired the defeat, of Russia. They received In payment three cheques, amounting to a little mon than 123,000,000 each, payable at Tokio on March 22. 1916, The offlcera further contracted to remain in the services of Japan until the cheques were paid. Baron Tilinsky and a partner named Swetky. went to Zurich in 1911, and endeavored to raise money on the cheques through a local financier. Negotiations were opened with banks in London, Amsterdam and Dresden, but Ihey refused to make any advances without seeing the original contract. In the meantime, according to tho story, the Japanese embassy learned of the affair, and reported It to Tok io. The consul at Zurich was Inst rue ted to investigate. The Russian government also took up the matter and sent the Russian military attache at Heine to Zurich to make inquiries. COLLECTIONS. BAD DEBTS COLLECTED EVERY- whore. No collection, no charge.

(757) How to Keep Young. How often wo hear men anil women Deivniling the- filet tlmt they ui'e no longer young! They speak of youth Wistfully as some elusive thing Wblcb has vanished like a summer cloud or with Incredulity, ns If It were n stale totally foreign nnd Irreconcilable to their present one, like lielng nn Inhabitant of MnrsTir a three headed man They do not seem le realize that what mnlies people young and keeps them so ls Irrespective of actual years���It Is the capacity for retaining youthful ideals. The man who regards his son's aspirations with cynicism has slopped growing nnd Is becoming old. The wo mnn who sternly nnd coldly condemns the follies of Impetuous girlhood Is losing Unit very thing which should keep her fresh���her sympathies and her optimism. The elderly men who remain vital and alive are those who keep their hopes nnd desires and ambitions before theiu nnd not behind and who will always keep them so If they live to be HMJ. The women who keep the charm of youth ure those who hnve �� buoyant spirit, nn iulerest In the world about thetn nnd n high Idealism. There is uu such thing ns dropping back and behind the procession If one's mentality Is continually pushing forward ind ouward. What we dill llie spirit of youth is in reality a sanguine nnd courageous attitude toward life, Rnd there Is no more reason why this attitude should be confined to those lielow n certain age than there ls that we should have false teeth at forty. The girl who when she gets married ceases to muke any effort whatever, mentally, stclully or physically, heroines dull nud stupid before she reaches even middle age, und the unmarried woman who settles down Into a rigid nnd narrow groove, measuring all the world by her small rule of thumb, becomes u tiresome prude who might ns well be a mummy for nil Hie eujoyment und ���spontaneity which she puts Into existence or gets out of It.

Is Now Nothing but a Harbor With a History���Sawon Rovers Replaced Legions. London. March f>. Quite one of the quaintest corners to be met with along the southern coast of England is the small Sussex Inlet that is marked on :lhe maps as "I'agham Harbor," says a writer In lhe Monitor. At high water this inlet has all the appearance of a creek of some Importance, but the ebb of the tide works wonders, and it gradually dini- inlsl'i'S till nothing is left but a stretch of mud hanks, dotted here and . there with seaweed and the countless gulls that have made the place their feeding ground. Winding its way inshore, at first between great banks of shingle, then like seme streak of shimmering silver Chrough the greenest of meadows imaginable, It suddenly comes to au end beside the disused quay and tumble-down mill of the pretty old hamlet of Sidlesham. Vespasian's Landing. It was not far distant from here, somewhere no doubt on the shelving shores of the Selsey peninsula, that Anlus Plantlus and Vespasian landed In A. D. 43, and as most of this district became eventually very much Romanized, it may be practically taken for granted that the galleys of these undent people were constantly navigating the creek. No so long, however, after the departure of the Roman legions to assist In the defense of Italy the Saxon rovers began to arrive. First a shipload would be beached at one point, then at another. Next two or three vessels would appear together, and finally they came to land by scores. Thus it happened that one fine day the long ships of the chieftain Aella were seen gliding up I'agham harbor Whether at that period any village may never he known for certain, but only a few miles inshore lay Hegnuin. | one of the largest cities of Roman- British times. This Btronghold fell before the assault of Aella and his warriors, and although a protracted strug- gle ensued before the surrounding country was completely conquered, Clssa, one of Aella'S suns, eventually .became King of Sussex and the South Saxons, and gave tils name to Iteg- , mini as modern Chichester. In Tudor Times After bridging over the Intervening centuries we find'it was recorded In the reign of Queen Elizabeth that "the creeks of Selsey, Arundel and Shore ham are so decayed that they are unmeet to be continued.'' This "Creek of Selsey" being undoubtedly one and the same with Pag- ham harbor, it would seem that in Tudor times at all events It had Its drawbacks That it cannot have been regarded as really inaccessible to vessels of small tonnage is shown by the fact, that the immense mound, situated a short distance within the entrance of the harbor, and which originally no doubt was a tumulus of prehistoric date, was Included In the general scheme of defense prepared by those entrusted with the protection of the coast when the galleons of Ihe Armada were expected in 1588. As it turned out, Medina Ridonia, after contemplating a descent on i Portsmouth, somewhat to tho westward, was driven by a change of wind to continue his voyage up the channel, and not one of the pikemen of Spain set foot ashore at I'agham; In fact all thai the fleberfoll. of Sidlesham can bave seen of the Armada was a forest of hulls and masts well out to sea. Forty Yeara Ago. The harbor has experienced more than one great change since those days, although any fame that It his belong raltn r to the past than tha present. Some 40 years ago. after effectually I locking the entrance to the Inlet, a system of sluices and drainage was established and before very long harvests were flourit-hing where formerly Hie ships bad passed to and 1 from tha utiay. Tie'lice once again the sea returned to the bed of the creek but Sidles- has has long Flnee cased to he a * is Just a harbor with a history. , ANTIQUES MADE TO ORDER an's World Mist Randolph's Polo Playing Excites Admiration.

Up to the present time the farmers on the prairies have heary very little of New Westminster owing to the fact that no elevator was located In this city but thc new plant of the Grain Growers' B. C. Agency will be noted in all publications connected with the Industry and farmers can now ship direct to this city. Under the act the company will have to take out a license for buying grain direct from the farmers, known as a track buyer's license and for this a person or company has to deposit a bond of $6000 in order to protect the seller of the grain. Then again an elevator license has to be taken out which carries with it another bond of $0u00 in order to protect the people having grain in storage in these same elevators. A peculiar feature of the act Is that no elevator concern can refuse to accommodate a farmer or grain agency that wishes to store or sell grain, a stipulated sum being charged for both storage and commission on selling. Thus if a farmer in Alberta desires to ship cars of grain to New Westminster for either sale or hold, the local company while it has the room in its elevator must accept same. The mill is in charge of Mr. L. G. Payne, an experienced elevator man. Unable to come to nn agreement with the union fishermen engaged in the halibut industry, the New Kngland Blah Company and the Canadian Fishing Company of Vancouver, have announced an increase of 50 per cent in the wages paid to the men, taking effect immediately Since a strike was declared by the union men in Vancouver aud Seattle companies have not been hard pressed for help owing to the fact that few boats if any, were operating on the hanks during the winter The latest announcement states the wage increase will be maintained for the year and that all former employees will be given preference. Whether the company Intends to fight the union is not made known 1 but the fact that the Kingfisher left ��� for the banks with a non-union crew I picked up in the east, gives rise to I the rumors that a union card will not be recognized by the companies from I now on. The strike has not affected the Columbia Cold Storage Company, owners 'of the Roman and the li. C. P. as the demands of the men wore nc- ceeded to in the first instance.
