F. Dalamore, who is at present located nt Trail, was a week-end visitor with old Lister friends. Owing to a combination of bad weather and bad roads the December meeting of the United Farm* re, called for Friday last, had to be cancelled. Saturday's meeting of the Ladies* Auxiliary of the G.W.V.A. was also also rather poorly attended due to tbe same adverse circumstances. The children particularly ave reminded of the big Christmas entertainment on Wednesday evening next at the schoolhouse. which is arranged especially for the youngsters���������and all of them���������aud will consist of a concert programme, a Christmas tree, on which there will.be a Rift for every child\"in the -camp,,,and will close with a supper for the children. Rev. J. S. Mahood will conduct the first baptismal service in the camp on Sundav 'afternoon' at 3.50 at the schoolhouse, when it is expected some half dozen children will be christened. Fred Smith jolt Lethbridge, Alta.. postoffice inspector for^-this district, was here on a������ official visit last week; and found Postmistress Chalroer^ conducting the office in splendid fashion is every dstail.

Ownership of Natural Resources When lhc British Crown Colonies of Upper and Lower Canada (or Ontario and Quebec as vve know them today), and Nova Scotia and Ne\\y Brunswick united to form the Dominion of Canada they were autonomous units enjoying ownership of their public domain and control over their customs, postal and other services. When they decided to enter the Canadian confederation Ihcy agreed to surrender to the Federal authority control and jurisdiction ovcr the Customs, Post Office and certain other public services, but thcy insisted on retaining: ownership and control of the public domain, that is, the lands, forests and' mines. . Later, when the Crown Colony of British Columbia decided to join thc confederation it likewise relinquished certain of its powers and services to thc Federal body, but retained ownership and control of its public domain and natural resources. It also bargained that certain things should tie done, as, for example, that a transcontinental railway should be built connecting B.ritlsh. Columbia with the Eastern-Provinces. The construction of this railway across what is' now Eastern Canada, but which wa.s then the property of .the Hudson Bay Company, led to the ���������purchase by Gmada of the lands owned by that Company. In course of time and with increasing settlement it was decided to create, the Province of Manitoba out of a portion of this western* territory. In entering the Do-.j minion confederation as a Province, Manitoba came in as the creation of the Dominion Parliament, not as a previously established Crown Colony\" like the other Provinces. It had no Customs or Postal services to relinquish, n-oj* did it enjoy ownership of lands which it'could decline to give up. Consequently, in creating Manitoba a Province the Dominion Parliament . did not provide that it should be gifen full ownership and control of its natural resources. The Dominion kept what it had hitherto owned. And when Alberta and Saskatchewan were created Provinces in 1905, the. same policy was followed. *s Few people question the legal right oi the Dominion Parliament to retain ownership of these natural resources, but the practically unanimous opinion of the West is that by so doing Parliament violated the spirit of the Confederation pact and ignored the cardinal principle upon which' Confederation rests. The Canadian confederation is supposed to be a union, or federation, of Provinces each enjoying equal rights, powers, responsibilities and privileges; in a word, all are supposed to be on a, basis of equality. It is self-evident, however, that if some Provinces own and control their natural resources and derive large revenues therefrom, while, other Provinces are denied such ownership and control and the revenues from, the natural resources within their bounds go into the Dominion treasury to be shared equally by ail Provinces, there-is rank inequality. Provinces owning their resources-not only obtain all thc resultant revenues, but thcy also get a share from the resources of the other Provinces who do not enjoy such ownership. , In justification for the policy of Dominion retention of ownership and control of the natural resources of the West it was urged that it was in the national interests that these lands should be disposed of as free homesteads, and that inasmuch as thc encouragement of immigration was & Federal matter, it was essential to the success of any immigration'policy that control of the homestead iands should be vested in the same authority; It was argued that if the Provinces owned the lands they would be compelled to administer them for revenue producing purposes rather than to'encourage settlement. Furthermore, it was contended, the Dominion Parliament was spending huge sums of money annually for immigration* purposes solely for the, purpose of settling the vacant lands of the West, but'that no such service was maintained to add population lo thc East. , Whatever force there may havc been in these arguments at the time, it has al! been dissipated now, and has been for some years past. The Immigration service' of the Dominion Government is exerting itself just as it is to bring settlers to the Western which do not own their lands. as it is to bring settlers to ihe Western which do no own their lands. Free homestead lands arc r.ow practically a thing of the past, and control ot tbe lands remaining, the forest and thc mines, is not necessary to the success of ths Federal iminigr.Mion policy. ..,*** Dominion today is administering tlie natural resources v-*u'.**-pr,;,dnci:u,r purposes, nnd thc Federal treasury is ���������rd'y by a substantia! surplus of revenue from expendi- ���������p resources of the West, ;? th;:*.: there ir, not equality in status among* the Prov- ', ar-d r.~ a cc.-nsequence there is a weakness in thc bond The We.-uer:* !':-���������.,vinces ave ri-stnctod in their revenues, is r :'iar'-'c d, raid an :mnecessary, foolish and even dangcr- rcse-r.tment is aroused in thr West against the .East because Rumania Now As Large as Italy Area Is 105,000 Square Miles, Population 15,000,000.

' r ��������� No other, active belligerent in the war against ���������Germany; has varied so much in extent, says the; New York Herald. Condemned by thc treaty of Bucharest to lose half her territory, she has not only regained her previous domain, but has seen it successively enlarged by the addition of Transylvania, Bkowina, part of the banat of Temesvar, and, nowy-'Bessa- rabia. This makes an area of eight times as large as Alsace-Lorraincc, with a population five times that of the restored French provinces. Before the war Rumania's area wTas 53,000 square mile, and her population 7,500,000. Now her area is 105,000 square miles and her population is' more than doubled.

The Only Real Nerve Tonic is a Good Supply of Rich,\" Red Blood. \"If people would only attend to their blood, instead of worrying themselves ill,\" said an eminent nerve specialist; \"we doctors vvould not see our consulting rooms crowded with nervous wrecks. More -people suffer from worry than anything else.\". % The sort of thing which the specialist spoke of is the nervous rundown condition caused by overwork and the many anxieties of to-day. Sufferers find themselves tired, low- spirited and unable to keep their minds on anything. Any sudden noise hurt3 like a blew. They are full of groundless fears, and do not sleep well at night. Headaches and other nerve pains are part of the misery, and it all comes from starved nerves. Doctoring the nerves with poisonous sedatives is a terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is a good supply of rich, red blood. ...Therefore to relieve nervousness and run-down [health Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be taken. These pills make new, rich blood, which strengthens the nerves, improves the appetite, gives new strength and spirits, and makes hitherto despondent people1 bright and cheerful. If you arc at all \"out of sorts\" vou should begin taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Decline of the Parlor.

On .our poor dogs who had been on~Very reaching home I found everything in scant rations for some time. I heard that the Ki-say-the-nish band were in good order, and on counting up our furs I finally decided to send Pierre and camping along a small river sonic | back, to Thc Pas with all\" returns of fifteen,miles away, busy gathering in the egg -harvest, and also 'catching mink and muskrat. When I told Pierre wc would start in a day or two for these Indians, I noted hc was very sulky, but: this- I passed over. Our large canoe was just getting the finishing touches and was about read}*- for the gum. This is applied by the squaws, and I amused myself \"watching them. Finally vve had a small trade, and also an official letter to the Chief telling him the man was no more use to mc, and I would prefer, now that I was on \"friendly terms with both bands of Indians, to remain alone for the balance of the spring. Pierre duly started and not in the best of humors. 1 visited the nearby camps, collected some small debts and picked up a good deal more fu . The next excitement was an Indian. placing the rest of the goods in charge of O-sow-usk, away we went one fine morning, I in thc bow with my gun ready for anything in thc shape of game. For, my dear reader, we had no ample store of provisions to draw on, but simply some tea and sugar with a very little flour for..em- ergencies, so the task of supplying the larder was a daily one. The Carrot River expands here to Rcd-Mud-Lake, so-called from a fine red clay found on its shores. Also ash and elm trees are found here, the only place I have seen them in Saskatchewan. We made straight across the middle of the lake, and just about half-way across the canoe was whirled round and found myself facing homewards. \"What is the matter Pierre?\" i askcdA \"1 won't go to those Indians. They are bad, and will poison us.both. We are going back.\" Jumping round and facing Master Pierre I grabbed the .gunwales, rocked the canoe violently and took in about a buck* t of water. Then in a loud voice I said: \"Turn round, you old scamp, unless you want to swim ashore,\"-and in two minutes I had thev old man at my mercy, .for he could not swim and .was nervous in a canoe. I happened to be brought up in Lakcfield (close to\" Petirboro) where the famous canoes originated, and part of our boyish phasures was testing the various models turned out by honest Tom Gordon of Lakcfjeld, who was' undoubtedly the inventor. Pierre was now bowsman and a very quiet and obedint one. After a pleasant paddle..- wc sighted the Indian camps, all. moose skin teepees I noted. I hese are bushmerr and fine fur hunters ~.\\ ii**,hi, was my inward comnn nt. Running our canoe up thc little creek, we landed right amongst them, and as thc custom is, I went���������*. to shake hands with the Indians. Nothing doing���������they simply paid no attention to us. No-swells, in the upper un_jhousand could have treated us with more sil nt contempt t,han these unlettered savages. 1 walked towards the canoe,.and Pierre hissed out, \"1 told you so. Worse thing will happen yet.\" \"Quiet, you dog,\" was my re ply. Our chilly re- Ce ption was made worse by noting black Daniel standing back of one of the groups and smiling to think O- gc-mas-es wi.s being turned down, On passing through the camps I noted goint' of the olilor women scraping the meat and fat oil some recently ki'l- ed bear skins, and further on were groups of thc younger w-om-'n who gave tne the first kindly glances I had received. 1 opened some of our bales and took a few of the._ choicest beads and some other fancy articles, nnd tackled thc girls to buy. As these were the very latest patterns In savngedom, buy they did, evidently to the disgust of their elders.

Wednesday .next is the day that the absentee .vote in the late provincial election will be counted, and there are at least half a dozen seats in which this delayed count may change the present standing of the two old parties ��������� though not so decisively as to~endanger the safety of the- Oliver government. While ;at this end of the Kaslo riding the ballots ..yet to be counted are not likely.to materially reduce or enlarge Col. Lister's majority, yet at the north end the Liberals are quite confident the final count will bring about the return of John Keen by a lead that will effectively obviate the necessity of any judical recount. Next to Kaslo chief interest centres in Cranbrook, .where HHon. J. H: King has a lead of only 21 over T. D.^Caven, and the Cranbrook Tories are just'as confident as the Kaslo Grits that Wednesday's count will furnish them sufficient excuse for a celebration on a-more extensive scale than has been the custom for many years past. Should the number of \"the. absentee vote indicate that the fellow away from home cares little for the privilege thus extended him it is to be hoped an amendment to thc Election A(jt will provide for the elimination of the absentee voting feature. If Charles Dickens were alive today he would doubtless feel called upon to revise the theory expounded in one of his tales concerning the youth who had swallowed a shilling and after homemade remedies and local medical skill had failed to recover the two bits an. elderly lady advised sending the boy to the Wesleyan bazaar, solemnly assuring that if tho Methodists couldn't get the money out of tho youngster the case was certainly hopeless. In the matter of gathering in the elusive coin of the realm local Anglicans and Presbyterians have showed themselves equally well skilled as their Methodist rivals. A couple of weeks ago Christ Church Ladies' Guild bazaar reached high water mark with a net intake of at least $225, and last Saturday tho IVi-'sbyteriniiN went ovor tho top by accounting-for nn afternoon's receipts of about $250. And in neither instance wiih it a case of a fool and his money are soon parted. If Premier Moighen.had a hull' dozen Valley church organization ladies iu his cabinet the matter of securing the necessary revenue to wipe out the national debt would be a mere detail. Incidentally, these bazaars surely demonstrate that there .is, still .some money in the Valley.

This scheme, which was first proposed in 1914, and which has from time to time been, brought before public notice, has at last come to an issue by the receipt of a plan and estimates from the water rights department. The experience of the last three years has shown the urgent necessity of something being done to obviate the annual loss occasioned the ranchers and the Valley generally by the lock of anything like an adequate rainfall. With the report now before the public it is to bc hoped that a careful study of the project will be undertaken and either this or some -other scheme adopted which will meet the requirements of the Valley! generally. The present plan of irrigation embraces all the cultivated lands below Goat Mountain, extending from Erickson to Alice Siding north of Goat River, with the exception of 300 acres already under irrigation by the Erickson Water Users' Community. These, lands cover a gross area of 2890, acres, 2352 \" , The intake is at a point on Ar row Creek, 3f miles beyond Erickson, and the pipe line consisting of reinforctd concrete with stave pipe laterals, follows a gravity line along the foot of Goat Mountain. From the top af Crawford's hill a pipe line would run to a point below the town from which a town water supply could be had and an electric power station established giving approximately 260 horse power. The cost of the scheme at present cost of labor and materiai is estimated at $215,000; but this would probably be much io wer as prices fall. The cost to irrigators on all the lands scheduled would be $77 an aere, or $7.70 on annual pay- menrs. ' To give some idea of the present position as regards rainfall during the growing season, and the neces sity of supplementing it by irrigation, a return is given below of the average rainfall from 1913-1919, during the growing season���������-April- September. In regard to these returns it should be borne in mind that a rainfall of anything under half an inch on dry cnltinated land is entirely lost by evaporation, and doesn't reach the subsoil at all, and it will be found on examination in detail that nearly all the summer precipitation is iu quantities of half an inch or under, If the Valley under these adverse conditions has been able to produce all that it has done what would it- Kitchener having a thriving association of his own it was decided to write and ask tnem to.name their regresent- ative to act on the Valley 91-ga nidation exeeutive.

Then had come the theft of the examination papers, his disgrace and expulsion from college. - Hc had ; stood alone���������outside. Not one j friend, not one hope.

Then, just before the . end, something had\"called him, and he had . come here. Dorkin looked about him. His eyes were humid, his hands when he unclasped them from about his knees, trembled. A deadly longing, for the SIMPLE AS A.B.C.

Dorkin drew . one of the paws to him, and examined its long, knife-like claws, and his face grew serious. \"I don't know as it's wise to let you roam at large this way, oid cat,\" he told her, letting go the paw and stroking her yellow nose. She purred hoarsely, and lay, mouth half open, gazing up at him from amber slits of eyes. Then, as though she discerned that' something was troubling this one being in the world which her wild heart had learned to trust, she sat up and licked the hands locked about liis. knees. \"Where did you leave, your kittens, Lulu?\" he asked. She reared up, her paws on his knees, and shoved her moist nose -in his ear. He put his arm around her and patted her sidc._ - \"Please don't 'evade the question. Queen Lulu,\" he insisted; \"where are your kittens?\" But thc big cat, in answer, simply closed her sharp teeth on.his felt hat and bounding clown, 1ay, twitching hei-f short tair, and daring Ivm to chase her. Just here, from a copse on thc left, came a faint sound of distress, or loneliness, and, dropping the hat, Lulu, bounded into the thicket. A few minutes later. Dorkin saw her leading h *r four kittens across a little glade, a hundred yards distant. Again his gaze wandered to the far picture of the hills, valleys and forest, far beneath him. Perhaps, after all, he was laying claim to too much, he thought, bitterly. What right had hc to resent the coming of others, even although they did bring him unhappy memories of a world in which hope, for him, had been slain? Timberley, he felt, wonld harm him further if he could. Had he not admittced as much? Well, he could tight a man, but how about this girl, this Edna Marsh ? He wondered what she would say when she learned that the man she had seen go down, a social and moral wreck, and Dork n. the woodsman, were one���������what would she say?

Slowly hc made \"his way across the glade, through the hickory grove to the*, cabin. Passing around the cabin, he came upon her. .She was seated in a low, rustic cfrair, looking down the path to the lake, on which the coot and teal were weaving brown and blue-grey patterns, as thcy fed. So engrossed was she in the view, that she did not hear his step. IJe stood, gravely surveying her, adm-r- ing the dull gold of her hair, the cx- i quisite coloring of her check. She ' was very beautiful, hc told himself. \"Miss Marsh?\" he said. At the sound of his voice, she leaped to her feet. \"I'm Dorkin,\" he explained, as. her wide eyes opened wider, and gazed up into his face. Her own face had gone pale. She held out a slim gloved hand, and hc held it in his a moment while hc. said:��������� \"Welcome to Hardwoods Preserve'! You must be tired after the long tramp across the Portage.

He smiled, then immediately his face grew grave as he noted her lip tremble; \"Of course you have recognized mc,\" he said. \"Yes, I'm Stanley.\" Hc could, not help thc cynic-'sm creeping into his voice. \"But\" he added quickly, \"up here, I am Dorkin. It was my mother's name, you know. I didn't care to take anything from that past, back yonder.\" \"No,\" she whispered, \"no, of course not. Would you mind if I sat down again, Mr. Dorkin?

To British eyes Germany can make reparation on a large scale only if she is allowed, and even at the outset aided, to re-establish her foreijjn commerce. If at any future time Germany makes a deliberate default it ���������will probably be upon a scale against which the seizure of her gbods in transit or her bank balances in this country would yield but a trifle of compensation, to say nothing: of the fact that it would presumably lead to a counter-seizure of British properties in Germany.

Concerning them Mrs. P. Laforest, St. Nazaire, Que., writes:��������� \"For three months my baby was constipated and cried continually, On the advice of a friend I gave him Baby's Own Tablets and now at the age of five months he is perfectly well and weighs twenty pounds.
