The mineral resources of the country lying at the head of Lemon creek will receive much attention this winter and by spriug the merit of that section will lx? proven. Three properties will l>e operated and from two of these, anyway, shipments of ore will be made. On one of these properties, the group owned by Cal Hittle and Pat Nolan, there has been expended touch labor, and just as soon as the snow will permit they will rawhide down to the basin several tons of ore. It will go to Kootenay lake via the Six Mile road. A lease has recently been given on the property to Marks Bros, and partners and four men will work there this winter. Cal Hittle left here on Friday with eight packhorses loaded with supplies for the mine. At the Nansen, owned by Young & Thoitilinson, four men are employed and all kinds of ore is exposed. Cameron <fc Kennedy, of this town, have a contract to pack out three cars of oie from the Nansen during the season. It, too, goes out by way of the Six Mile road, and it is likely other shipments will follow. The third property being worked is tho Lady Franklin, on which two men are employed. They have ore exposed at a number of points and by spring will have a good deal of it on the dumps. Next season will witness additional life on the Franklin. Claim owners in that section state a good service has been done theni by tho Wilcox mine people, of Ymir, Thev have cleaned out the Six Mile ■wagon rond from Kcotenay lako and made it passable for slbii lis right up tb Oro.

Hughes •if Morley, Ont. She's Strong and Healthy Onco More. Morley, Ont., Nov. 28.—(Special). —What Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing for tho suffering women ot Canada will never be fully known. It is only when some courageous woman breaks the secrecy that covers woman and hor (troubles that a passing glimpse of their great work is given. For this reason a statement made by Mrs. Jas. Hughes, of this place, Is of more than passing interest. "I was a great sufferer for four years," says Mrs. Hughes. "I was treated by five doctors and a specialist frani the U. S. I tried nearly every medicine I could hoar of but none seemed to do me any good. "I was irt bed for nearly three years. I hnd pains up my spinal column, in my head, over my eyes, across my back nnd through my left side. I took fourteen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and now I am strong nnd able to do a good day's work, thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills." BALTIC FLEET VICTIMS LAID TO RESTi Although the cent re of interest attar the outrage on the North Sea fishing fleet was quickly removed from Hull to London, and is now at Vigo, tho sad ceremonies of the funeral brought nbout a great public demonstration, says a London cablegram. The route, which was nearly two miles . in length, and passed through the populous districts of West Hull, whore the fishermen reside, wus crowded with spectators, Most of the shops were shut, and there were many (lags at halt-mast, and other tokens of sympathy. Tha scene in Kibble avenue, Ih<* residence nl' Captain George Smith of the Crane, wns pathetic nnd impressive. Captain White, the veteran lender Of the Fishermen's Mission. read prayers at the house, then the polished elm coffin, bearing the legend, "At rest," at the foot, and covered with beautiful llowers, was home from the window to a plnce in the adjacent square by fishermen clad In their blue jerseys. The band of the local branches of the Ordor of Buffaloes was drawn up in the square and played "Lead. Kindly Light." Hoon afterwards the ooffln containing the body of William Leggott, the third hand on the Crane and a native of Yarmouth, arrived from a friend's house and joined tho cortege. Amongst the mourners was Smith's son, who was with his father on the Crane at the time of the sad and terrible occurrence. In the vicinity of the fish docks signs of mourning wero particularly noticeable, blinds being drawn and thousands of persons lined the route to thc cemetery. The mayor and town clerk attended the service, and hundreds of wreaths were received. The funeral precession was over a mile in length, and included the blue-Jackets from H. M. S. Hearty, a number of fishermen and representatives ol" all the Mull public bodies. Many pathetic scenes were witnessed at the grnvesldo. and the fact that Leggott's mother only beard of the death of her son on Wednesday morning elicited much sympathy. HE WAS A THRIFTY SCOTCHMAN Robert Doss wns in court at Edinburgh on a process procured by his vile charging him with desertion.

He expressed surprise that the llritish Oovernment had no remount depot In Canada. Lord Struthcona said that the War Offlco no doubt would consider this matter. BABY'S WELFARE.

To sum up within a nutshell the art of raising a child, 1 should say to parents, "Set the child a good ex- umple." Children arc naturally imitative, and if they have before them patterns of honesty, of truthfulness and of virtue genorully they, too, Will strive to bo honest, truthful and virtuous. And still more readily will they emulate vicious examples set before them. The fault with most parents is that they are too lazy to be firm in dealing with their children. Rather than exercise a little patience in explaining to their child tho reason why lt should act thus and not otherwise, most parents will surrender to its whims and caprices and by constant indulgences render thc little one self- willed and headstrong almost beyond control. Be sure you aro right in opposing the child's wishes, but then insist on having your own way to tho drop of the flag. I do not approve of punishment for children. To do good, as a rule, punishment should be administered only in such a way that thc child should understand the reason for it. And to ' possess this degree of understanding the child must havo reached an ago when punishment cannot be otherwiso than degrading. To degrade a child in its own eyes necessarily deteriorates it. To whip a girl of fourteen inevitably tends to degrade and debase her. Some of the best parents have bad children, upon whom no amount of moral suasion and no extent of go0d examples can hnvo any beneficial influence. In these rare cases the fault, of course, lies with tho children, and tho parents have no other recourse except, to punish. Dut in punishing there should bo much good judgment exorcised. The rod should bo only for the extremely vicious—only for those who display u malignant, spirit, such as tormentors of other children or of animals. In fact, in all cases I think it wisest to "make the punishment lit the crime." If, for instance, n boy throws a stone nt a cat or a dog the best and quicl.es! wny to correct this tendency is by whipping him. Take a rod and givo him a sound thrashing, but yet so as not to injure nor disfigure him. Dy making him feel pain you make him renli/o the monstrous wrong of wantonly inflicting pain upon others. But if, to take n different example, a girl, in disobedience to her pur- ents. goes to picnics, or stays out late, or associates with unlit companions, it would bo manifestly improper to whip her. Thc way to make tho punishment fit the crime in her case is to lock her up. By so doing you deprive her of the motive for doing wrong, while in thc case of tho malicious boy the Whipping acted .as a counter motive to overcome the motive supplied hy the pleasure of tormenting the eat or .dog. But, as I havo said, administer corporal punishment only sparingly, for at best any form of punishment is drastic and ought to be resorted to only when every other argument fails. If a child takes pleasure in unfair dealing or lying, let the father ask himself whether he himself was not guilty of inculcating that disposition by his otfn example. How often will not a father como homo and at tho table, with his children around him, tell aliout his "smartnessj' in overreaching a follow man! If a child hears his father exalt lying, deceitfulness, unfairness ' and double dealing, how can wc expect tho child to grow up to ho honest, truthful and honorable?—John B. McKenti, Judge of Children's Court of New York Citv. smeKtsattx,-ix^f ' - ■_ KEEP THE BLOOD PURE. (tartar ami ih« n*th. The intelligent foreigner could not understand how so prudish a nation as the English could have adopted the Carter and the Bath as the titles of lis highest orders. With regard to tho Bath, there is a greater puzzle. Woro Knights of tho Bath lirst created on October HI, 1899, at tho coronation of Henry IV., and merely revived by George L, in 1725, after long dormancy'.' Or Were thero no Knights or tho Bath beforo King Oeorgo? The solution is probably to bo found in the the origin of tho title—tho condition—namely, that tho Candidate for knighthood must tako a solemn bath, being instructed and counselled, while in the bath, concerning lhe order and feats of chivalry by two great uml ancient knights. But ns this appears to have l,een part of llu* full ceremony for ordinary knight bachelors, it is possible thnt Henry's alleged Knights of tho Bath' were nothing mure. Kitten Amu-nil lini*'* Jentouiy. A curious instance of a dog's intelligent jealousy is reported from Ll- antshon. A happy family there consisted of a lady, a cat, a kitten, anil a, Yorkshire terrier. All four u.ro on excellent terms until the terrier took umbrage at attentions which its mistress bestowed upon Hie kitten. The terrier st ralglitaway began to dig a hole in the garden, ami linish- cd its tusk t_i its satisfaction in threo days. Then the kitten, disappeared. A search was mnde and the terrier wns Sean palling down the earth OVOT I he hole which it had refilled, the soil was removed, und lhe kitlen was found to have boon buried alive. The (log was '-unlshod, but it took the kitten to the grave again, nnd the following day took it ton ditch and left it there.—London liuily I'.x- press.

Thut is why llr. Williams' Pink Bills mean good health — they actually make new, rich blood. Bad blood poisons the whole system. The nerves break down, the liver goes wrong, tho kidneys got clogged and inflamed, the heart flutters and jumps at tho least excitement, the stoinach loses its power to digest food, tho lungs are unable to throw ofl tho lingering colds, in fact the whole body gets out of order. Then you have headaches and backaches, can't sleep and can't eat and feel utterly miserable. And It all comes from bad blood, and can be cured by the rich, red blood Dr. Williams' Dink Pill:; sends coursing to every part of the body. Mr. Daniel McKinnon, of North I'elham. Ont., suffered from bad blood, but has been made well and strong by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills after all other treatment had failed. Mr. McKinnon says: "Until last spring I had been afflicted with a weak stomach, headaches and kidney troubles. At times I was completely prostrated and my sufferings wero of a most severe nature. At different times I wns treated by no less than seven doctors, but from none of them did I get moro thnn temporary relief. As time went on I became hopeless of ever being well again. Last spring a friend drew my attention to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided to try this medicine. I had only taken four boxes when I found a decided Improvement in iny condition, nnd I continued using the pills until I had taken a dozen boxes, when I was a cured mnn, and the sufferings I had formerly endured were but a disagreeable memory. I admit being nn enthusiastic admirer of Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills, but I think I have just cans'* for my enthusiasm, nnd will nlways recommend them to ailing friends." A, Just us surely ns Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mr. McKinnon they can cure nnne.mia. indigestion, hend- nches, backaches, kidney trouble, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, neural u:i.i. nervousness, general weakness and the special ailments of growing girls and women. * All these nil- ments come from bad blood, and Dr, Williams' Tink Pills can curp them by filling the veins with new, rich, red blood.

Mrs. Lizzie Couet, of Chicago, 41 years of age. lost her life, and her husband and infant child were fatally burned in a firo which partly dost rayed their home. Tho woman dreamed thnt her savings had been stolen from a hiding place in the bottom of a sugar jar in the pantry. Stat tied by the reality of the dream, she took a lamp in one hand and her baby under her other arm. and went to investigate. The lamp fell from the woman's hand nnd exploded, Her husband, aroused from sleep in an adjoining room, made a brave attempt to put the flames out, and finally succeeded with thp aid of a mattress, but only after he. as well as tho wife and child, had been frightfully burned. Mrs. Couet died while being taken to the hospital. The following article is reproduced from Farm, Stock & Home, ono of the ablest and most careful of the agricultural papers of tho United States, published at Minneapolis:— "A few of us farmers'are thinking of going to, the Canadian Northwest to sottle, but we are told that if we get very far from water transportation that rail ratos will cat up the profits on wheat and other grains, since the rates aro so much higher thero than on our roads in the States. Thoy say the Canadian Pacific having no competition can do as it pleases in charging, and it pleases to got very high rates, as compared with ours, and they aro high enough, tho Lord koaws."—Some North Dakota Farmers. Answer—The Canadian Pacific is no more monopolistic than our roads. Half a dozen roads may constitute a monopoly as well as one, and a monopoly is what tho various lines penetrating our Northwest have ever maintained, especially as to local rates. But a few figures will answer your question. The grain rate, per 100 pounds, from Port Arthur, the nearest lake port, including steerago charges and insurance, to Winnipeg, 431 miles, is in cents. A rnto sheet of the Great Northern road lying before us shows thnt it charges that much for around a 140-mile haul. From Port Arthur to Brandon, r>l}4 miles, the rate is 18 cents. The Great Northern charges the sumo from Barnesville to Minneapolis. 218 miles: and for a 523-mile haul it charges 18 cents, from Minot, your stnte, to Minneapolis, The Canndiaii Pacific from Moose Jaw, 824 miles, is 18 cents, while the Croat Northern charge is 25 cents from Williston, 644 miles. The Canadian Pacific rate from Edmonton, the centre of the great wheat-growing district, is 28 cents, and the distance i.s 1,488 miles Many more comparisons could be given but. these are typical of all, and they apply to nil our northwestern ronds ns well ns to the Greal Northern. lt requires no argument to convince one thnt our roads can afford to transport grain Cheaper thnn the Canadian Pacific Railway can. because they run through more thickly settled regions, creating immensely more traffic each wny. It is not pleasant to give Information of this kind, because it makes one feel it is encouraging the migration of our people to alien lands, IM "the Lord knows" that this journalls not responsible for the situation, and mny be it will be well in the long run for the poople to see who nre or what is responsible for nt least one inducement, to many of them to iaa,tvo a country that thev are supposed to rule, and become the citizens of a kingdom.

Issue after issue it pointed out le* wealth of the rich agricultural 'ition of which llirtlo is the centre, itiu enlarged on the success that mailed those who properly tilled its fertile soil, llut it was of but small avail. The number of settlers steadl- h decreased, as it did in many other parts of tho Wost nt the time. This ti no sense remarkable when the nditlons are known. The original nl.is of the district came in with nl.' or no means. As so«n as they ml performed their homestead duties ial secured their patents a majority ii tli.'in mortgaged their farms, and .iiMiiiioiied them to the mortgage fun 'panies. With the money thus raised ihey moved to a newer district, look up a second homestead, is they were then enabled to do un- Icr the law, and with much larger apitnl wero able to make a fresh start on a larger and more success- il scale. While the individual settler so doing was benefited by this, it is obvious that the district must suller thereby, nnd in fact the country around Birtle was, for some years dotted with idle farms owned hy mortgage compunies. The Observer, as conducted by Mr. Murdoch, was in many respects a model local paper. None of the country papers of these early d-iys were mechanically faultless.

Naturally, therefore, he seldom makes up his mind as to policies hurriedly. As is eqpally natural, too, his mind once made up, he seldom has occasion to chartgO his opinion. It is this finality and fairness in his arguments and reasonings that mako his published opinions so weighty. Few editorial expressions carry so far as those of the Hartney Star, and the reason is to be found in the thoughtful personality whose ideas they reflect. While all Mr. Murdoch's newspapers have been remarkable for this sanity and fiiirmindedness, thero is another characteristic they have all shured in common to which reference ought here to be made—their keen observance of the world of nature. With Mr. Murdoch natural history amounts almost to a passion—not a bird or a beast or a flower ef tho prairie to which he is not a friend, and of whoso habits of lite ho ls not a storehouse of knowledge. His little urti-. cles on natural history aro widely read and much quoted. In theso days Of the hurly burly of federal, provincial or municipal polities, und of the godngS nnd comings of people, there- porting of whose movements constitutes top often thc bulk of the news of n local paper, it is a refreshment to pick up thi* Star, and road therein somo little article on tho coining of thc wild goose, thu habits of tbe muskrat, the blooming of the nne- nione, or a description of some rare and beautiful mirage. Few among the busy workers in tho West tuke tho necessary timo to familiarize themselves with nature. Tho fact that one, of the western editors gives frequently the results of Iiis own communion with the various forms of nature is, therefore, all the more appreciated. .Many of his subscribers would doubtless notice tho omission cf Bone item of local news, but nmong those who (rom week to* week look for the Hartney Star as one of the few exchanges for whose arrival thoy look with eagerness, tho little nature talks that from time to time appear are always the first things sought for. Whatever modifications muy from time to timo be made in the Star, they hope this will remain a permanent feature. Mr. Walpole Murdoch stands for and represents much of the very best in western journalism. His high personal principle in both private and public life, his keen observation, his fairness in discussion, his breadth of view and .judicial temperament, to gether with his industry and pro- gressivoness, make him a mun of mark in his profession, The ranks of newspaper men In the West would be bettered if more men of Mr. Murdoch's type were found therein.

A despatch from Detroit says that scarcity of wheat in that part of tho country is emphasized by two purchases made by the Commercial Milling Company, which has bought fifty thousand bushels of Manitoba wheat that will go to Detroit in bond and in the port of Detroit pay a duty of 20 cents a bushel. The wheat is of very fine quality, being better for flour making purposes than No. 1 northern. Another company has bought a smaller quantity of Pacific coast wheat to go to Detroit by rail at a freight rate of about the same per bushel as tho duty on Canadian wheat. This expensive wheat is taken across the border because of tho failure of the Michigan crop. This year's crop figured about 5,000,000 bushels, but probably not more than throe million bushels is a good milling grain raise. Elevator stocks in Detroit at present consist almost entirely of northwest wheat. "My Kindoys are nil Wrong 1 How shall I insure best results ln Th* shortest time?"

C FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1904. EDITORIAL dlOri'INUS. Representative Conservatives met in Montreal this week and presented a memorial to Hon. Mr. Borden, asking him to retain the leadership of the party. He will accept. The West Hastings political scandal i.s expanding and it threatens to involve the whole fabric of government rule in Ontario. Already two politicalacandidates are fugitives from justice and several other interested parties are making themselves scarce. •TJie western lumbermen will ask the dominion government to impose a duty of $2 per thousand on lumber comingin from the States. In their ..request they will receive the support of "Big Bill" Galliher, who, in an interview on tho coast, stated a depression existed in the interior aud a duty should be imposed to protect the lum- ;bering industry. Force to the argument is lent by the closing down of almost all the sawmills. Reciprocity with Canada—with a general tendency towards annexation —is a question of growing importance alining American public men, and the sunjeet is beiug extensively canvassed in/the press. Time was' when Cana- jdjps public life was more or less agitated by the question.but Washington authorities proved by no means favor- fable. Now the shoe is on the other • foot, for Canada's growth is exciting envy among the people to the south, and they would fain have closer trade relations with their vigorous young neighbor. No longer is there a sentiment in Canada towards any other relation with the United States than at present exists. Canadians are taking pride in their country and,9. healthful national spirit has been born. Canada is developing as a nation, occupying a prominent position among those several peoples going to make up the mighty British empire. Canadian public men have plainly told American audiences of late that the dominion means to carve out its own destiny quite independent of the States, and the Americans should accept those statements as indicative of popular feeling here. Neither reciprocity nor annexation are wanted. Slocau will have a hard job to find a codncii for the coming year, and those men who, perhaps,may be found willing to undertake the government .of the city will find their work cut out to successfully finance the burg's obligations. The tax sale did not turn out as successful as anticipated, and the bulk of tbe back taxes due tlie city still remain unpaid. Tha costs aud incidentals of the salo were somewhat heavy aud these, for the time being at least, must be met from the general revenue, eventually being taxed up against the delinquent lots. These expenses will be a direct charge upon the city of upwards of $20U0,and following closely after will come the debenture payment of $1000. In addition will be the heavy strain from the school, ai)d a limited allowance for generalities and salaries. The rev* jentie in sight is principally from the seven hotels, some, of which may at any time drop out; then comes a lessened number of traders' licenses, and about a third of the realty taxes. Fortunately the salary list has been cut to a mere bagatelle, while the general expenses, with luck, should be small. The margin for allowance, however, is •decidedly limited and great care must be exercised. To thoso men upon whose shoulders the responsibility of government may rest, the ratepayers should accord their heartiest sympathy aud support. They will have a hard task to steer the civic ship clear of the rocks of bankruptcy, and the people should be patient, lending assistance rather than seeking to condemn. •DRILL POINTS.
