He would back-trail to the hardwoods and help his friend and , ��������� ��������� , brother fight off those who meant him chppea oxr a twig close apove tne Ar- j harm. But his objective lay a day gonquin's head. From that time for- ��������� ��������� ward, he had redoubled his efforts to bring his quarry to earth, following with unfailing eye the tracks which the fugitive strove to cover up. And now had come the storm, the wild, tearing storm of ripping wind and obliterating rain. When it passed nothing would be left of the track of the hunted. Only Sagawa's marvellous intuition to guess accurately the direction of "his quarry, and so io pick up that track once more, remained to the man reclining before the ~.��������� n~- Deieuu^c, Above and around, the thunder crashed with booming reports which echoed from rock to rock, rumbling outward and on, to be lost in heavier detonations from thc lightning-licked heavens. And over all sounded the torrent of the rain, and the wail of tempest lashing the face of the lake to foam-capped waves,. Occasionally the duller crash of a fire-girdled tree, overthrown by the gale, broke through the wild ' cadence of the storm, or a tongue of fire licked a livid spiral down some giant monarch of tjie forest, as the forked lightning found it. But all of this the Indian marked but impassively, as he waited for the stQTm to spend itself. Wilder shrieked the wind, louder crashed the thunder, and darting fingers of fire adown the low-hanging clouds illumined the night-world solitude with blue-white, wavering light. Then, suddenly, above all other sounds, came one which sent an icy chill to Sagav/a's heart. Involuntarily he clutched at the tiny iron cross beneath his buckskin shirt, and lifted his rifle. A wail, almost human in its note, wavenn-g, shri'l. had floated down on thc wings of the wind. With a single movement thc Indian sprang up and leaped outside in the driving rain, facing th? direction from which tiad com" that dreaded cry. Nearby, the h'ghtning claimed a great, high-standing tree, its crash of exhilaration drowning���������for thc instant���������alf other sounds. But the Algonquin's eyes straved not for a second from the headland one hundred yard*" distant, sprayed now with thc blue-white light of the zigsr-ag-ging arrows of the storm. And, as he watched, there sprang from the forest, and leaped across the heradlar-d, w number of great, gaunt creatures with lowered heads and lolling tongues. And the leader of the woH pack was white as snow. and two nights' journey througti wiiti forest and swift "strong water." The last time the white wolf had crossed his trail, he had been too late to save his aged brother, the trapper. He hand extended to him. Pointing to the half-breed, with an imperious gesture, he said:-��������� "1 would know why Darbo, who does the bidding of the trappers in the willow-hedged valley, is upon the trail leading to the Basin of White Water, the village of Sagawa's people?

Pie ceased speaking, at a motion from the white man, twisting about so' as to put the fire between himself and the Indian. Haight stood, frowning, fingering the stubble of whiskers on his long chin. "Darbo speaks the truth, for once found White Hawk an hour ago, after the storm. He was pinned under a wind-thrown tree. He's in the tent there, what's left of him." With a guttural cry Sagawa sprang towards the tent's entrance; but Darbo, lips drawn back from his -teeth, snarled him back, -with uplifted knife. The Indian paused, and his eyes rested contemptuously on the half- breed, as he addressed him. "Is Sagawa then a starving wotf that would feed on the broken body of the quarry he has followed, that the brother of White Hawk fears to scents such as only the wilderness holds. Nothing to bemoan the toll which the winds and lightning had taken. Where giant trees had fallen and boulders had been hurled from their .foundations, other trees would, in tim*, be lifted up by the hands of the guardian Mother, other boulders shaped to fit the .waste places.

The world of the night solitude was awake again. The Algonquin gazed about him, breathing deeply, and a tender light chased the lines of weariness from his face. Then, slowly, he stretched his arms towards the fathomless sky. "Great Manitou," he prayed, "finish for Sagawa the task he must leave; that he might save his brother." Then swiftly he turned, and down thc lake, in the track of the moon, propelled his canoe with the swift, noiseless strokes that had earned for him the name, "Water-Swallow" among his tribe. Quickly the shore on which hc had pitched his wigwam sank behind him. Onward he flew, impelled by the desire to reach his friend and brother before it was too late.

But because there is that which White Hawk would speak in secret to ering Sagawa, Sagawa must be allowed a little time alone with him before his spirit's gone.'* He tossed his knife and rifle at the half-breed's feet, and, pushing him gently aside, stooped and entered the tent. Haight, his hands deep in his pockets, swore softly. "Put up that knife, you fool," he ordered Darbo. "You'd be afraid to use it on that big Injun, even although you was sure his tribe wouldn't cut you into1 shoe-strings, and you know it. It's barely possible that hc knows what he's talking about.

When a girl in her 'teens becomes peevish, listless and dull, when nothing seems to interest her and dainties do not "tempt- her; appetite, you may be certain that she needs more good blood than her system is provided with. Before long her pallid cheeks, frequent head aches, breath- lessness and heart palpitation will confirm that she is anaemic. Many mothers, aa the result of their own girlhood experience, can promptly detect the early signs of anaemia and the wise mother does.not wait for the trouble to develop further, but at once gives her daughter a course with Dr. Williams' Pink Pilts. which renews the blood supply and banishes anaemia before it has obtained a hold on the system. Among the many who have benefitted by the use of these pills is Miss Dora Kerr, R.R. No. 4, Wiarton, Ont.. wfyo says: "For a long time I had been feeling tired and worn out. I was troubled with headache and backache, and would wake up in the morning feeling tired and depressed. I had to walk a considerable distance going to ana from school and would feel so tired that it seemed I could not go another step. About this time a lady doctor came to the school to examine the children, and she told me I badly needed a tonic to build me up. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had been used in our home before this and I began to take them. ' I can only say that thcy have greatly helped me. I no longer suffer from the headaches and backaches and I now wake up in the morning feeling rested and refreshed. If ever in need of a tonic again I shall lose no time in taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

Hayrs, Editor and Owner, CRESTON, B.C., FRIDAY, tfEB. 4 Real Public Spirit Speaking of the mueh-heard-of but not so generally exemplified community spirit a good word is due the couple of dosen citizens who likewise showed their faith in, and regard for, the district by- annexing their names to a $1500 guarantee for the appearance in Creston next summer of the six- day Dominion chautauqua. Due to insufficiency of show-going population largely Creston has never been favored with entertainment by outside talent that the more ambitious of our citizens believe we are not only entitled to, but that we are willing to pay full price for. To set a good example in the hope that its effect would not be lost on touring companies in' the future, the Chautauqua has been booked and every eonii dence is expressed that having onee h3d the pleasure of such high class entertainment its appearance here will be an annual summer fixture^. In the twelve performances the Chautauqua provides a wide range of educational entertainment in both the musical and literary lines, and at %_ cost that will not exceed more than 50c a performance Provided a season ticket is purchased. In addition to the entertainment for adults Again Bedooed there is also a provision for a children's supervised play hour, which usually takes place ' each morning and is in charge of a specialist in handling juvenile games as well as in giving short suitable talks to the youngsters, Too, provision is made for the children being able to attend the big Chautauqua features in the sale of transferable children's tickets at greatly reduced prices. If the talent employed on the 1921 Chautauqua circuit is of the same high-class as that in evidence last year Creston is assured a week of education and entertainment next summer that will surprise even the most fastidious. Counting the Cost Editok Review: Sir.���������As I underst.and this irrigation project it works out this way; First, $200,000 are lion-owed for f.wen- ty years, the same to bear interest at 7 per cent. Second, before this amount can be. borrowed we rnnst raise nn mi- dition'al amount of $15,000. The expense, if I haye the correct understanding, would be sis follows: $200,000 bearing interest at 7% would amount to $14,000 Boniis we would have to raise.... 15,000 $10,000 sinking fund, which * most he paid back... ...10,000 Salary of superintendent............. 4,000 the orchards in the Valley are so wonder-fully valuabls then why not those men who tire' so interested get together and run their own show.

That irrigation has become a necessity to the development of the district-is generally admitted; that the men who are advocating the - scheme are, doing fid from the best , motives goes' without saying, but it is equally certain that the hest interests of irrigation are nojrgoing to be furthered by creating antagonism, and it would seem that lack of definite Information as to the de- jtails of the seheme is having this undesirable result in seme quarters. Failure to state the case clearly and iu detail gives the man in opposition the finest kind cf opportunity to'gain converts to.his views. In addition it is desirable that everyone interested should count* ths costs now rather than after, the scheme is completed. ~ Now is the time to face the facts squarely. If we decide-that irrigation is a necessity, regardless of cost now is the time for us to realize just how heavy- the burden is going to be. The following- are some of the points which might have been''covered in detail at the meeting, and which had they beet:' carefully gone into would doubtless have brought the meeting to a more satisfactory termination. Engineer's Report The meeting instructed the commissioners to seenre an engineer's report on the project. An estimate of the cost of this report could have u ' hold- THB OBESTON BEVIEW Is there any Meat in the House? This is the first question that presents itself to the housewife if' an ��������� unexpected visitor drops in for a meal. But why . worry ? Shamrock Brand Hams and Bacon Fiiiest ^Qadlity- Cooke&Hamfc, LuhcWM-iatZ Bologna, &c~. are always to be had here. In meats nothing .quite equals 'Shamrock' products. . previous to the ing of the meeting. This estimate dees not seem to have been secured and as a result it is .possible that some are signing for an expense, the amount ot Which they do not know.- ^Engineer's reports' are usually based upon the estimated costi'jof the project and run as high as5% for carrying work to completion. The expense for an engineer alone on the Arrow Greek projece ,would, therefore, amount to $10,000, $200-, 000,00 Loan JSTo one seems to have any very definite fdea as to where this money is coming from. No matter where it comes from interest and priaci- pai will become in effect a first mortgage upon the individual holdings. Supposing this scheme costs $75 per acre��������� for fche area covered, the man with 40 acres is assuming a mortgage of $3000, and it seems, desirable that he should realise this fact right afc the start. There is some vague talk of the government advancing the necessary, money. Have the committee any assurance that the' -government will do this. If bonds are issued and these bonds are marketed in the usual way the expense of underwriting might easily exceed. 10%, which would add $20,000 to the proposed cost of the project. Domestic Water It.is stated that one of the sonr- " " be the sale of if 51 per cent, of the taxable property- within the proposed area favor irrigation then the balance must come into the scheme whether they wish, to do so or not. Here^again detailed information seems to be lacking, or at least was not put be .fore tho general meeting. Only a portion of ������he land in the scheme is under cultivation, and only on this portion can water be used economically. Just here the question arises as to the method of distributing water, and collecting revenue. Will the dealings between the water municipality and the land owner take the form of purchase and sale? If so is provision made in the act for forcing the holder of uncleared land to buy water which he does not want, cannot use, and in all probability is unable financially to pay for?' If the dealings do not take the form of sale and purchase it would sees*, that expert advice gjhould'be secured Before it is assumed that- any man be forced to pay for something that he does not make use of and from v-rhieh he derives no direct benefit, and only a very questionable indirect benefit. - Revelstoke thinks, it is iboub time the federal authorities started vvork on the $100,000 postoffice building promised the town at least ten years ago.

It might be as well to find out to just what extent householders are going to discard their present source of wafer sup ply for the purpose of purchasing water elsewhere/ The town of Oreston would seem to be the only reliable source of, revenue for the water for domestic pur-poses.

If tlie, arraiigemen ts t ake the form of :purchase what would the price lie, and would it be added to the total cost of the scheme? If no arrangements can be made how would the yearly cost of the project, per acre he'-'affected? Fifty-Qne Per Cent. It haajieen generally stated that Coa-.vn.un.ily Cost The community proposes to irrigate a certain area and they propose to irrigate for the purpose of making this .area more productive and therefore., assume that the ar- ea will be capable of bearing the burden of cost. No matter how this cost is distributed : among in- dividuals it is quite certain that the cost must" be paid from the products of the community; in other words the' cultivated area must pay the shot: Watered stumps, stones or ' uYiSerbriish will not produce revenue any more than wiii dry stumps, stones or underbrush. To sum the'matter up, it is not going tpo far to say that sometimes communities are rushed in to undertaking v.work8 -that in the light of aften-ewents turn out to be ill ladvised;'"���������Let"us give.,this irri- 'garibn^c^e^tion /most -canef&l coiY-" side^ation with; the end iu view of solving it. for all time to come, and to-the satisfaction of everyone interested.

The most unfortunate thing tlmt could happen the Valley would lie to have one section prosperous because of irrigation while outside that section people were starving for the want of water.

St :-'���������' Governments as Business Concerns In any serious consideration of the responsibilities, -duties and functions of Government in a country like Canada enjoying a representative system of Parliamentary Government, the fact needs to be kept in'mind that - changing- times bring" new responsibilities and duties and necessitate the adoption of new methods. New inventions create new conditions, and these must be met by Governments as well as by people engaged in trade and commerce. Within the half century since the British possessions in North America became federated as. a Dominion, the whole world has become commercialized to an extent undreamed of in the middle of the Nineteenth century. When the Fathers of Confederation drafted the constitution of the new Dominion to be, there was only one great public service of a distinctly business character which it was specifically provided should be the duty of the Government to undertake and manage, namely, the postal service. Powers were, however, conferred on Parliament of an extensive character, thus enabling the people through their representatives to embark on almost any business undertaking which might be considered in the national interest. Qne of the stipulations made by Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in agreeing to enter Confederation was that a railway should be built connecting them with the old Provinces of Canada. The construction of the Intercolonial Railway was, therefore, undertaken by the Dominion Government as a Government undertaking. It was, however,, more political than commercial in character; nevertheless in this way the Government did al-* most at once engage in a large business enterprise. . For many years the management of the postal service and the Intercolonial Railway constituted the only really business enterprises conducted a* Ife&skatctiewaii's Wheat mm Average Smaller t\T*r\(t*r fUrpf������f C.r.\r4XfV\vw ett-t ^ mrt0t4tr���������n.nvi%n, ~\.*.X\A.t~m X0X- ~ trx x~tr V t-x ttt-XXtrttX XM.XCX4.4 *~x_ trXXXtr H X.

It was very soon abandoned and a contract awarded to the C.PtR-, and it was not until the National Transcontinental and Grand Trunk towns a market which has never been Alberta Coal at'Coast The next few months will likely see the opening up* of a new market for Central Alberta coal mines. This market is the North Pacific coast Pacific project was launched that any concrete step was taken to enlarge the scope of Government ownership of railways by Canada, and even in connection with that project it was not the intention to engage in Government operation. Force of circumstances, and the eruption of the Great War, operated, however, to compel the Government of Canada to engage in railway ownership and management on a large scale. And conditions created during the war, coupled with the necessity of operating a hugs railway system, have resulted in the-, Federal Government engaging tn other large commercial undertakings. It is not so many years ago that the- C.P.R. was the largest single rait- way corporation in the wOFld, with the greatest railway mileage under one management, but also owning and operating lines of steamships to all parts of the world, express services, telegraphs, hotels and conducting many allied businesses.

National Transcontinental, Canadian Northern, Grand Trunk and Grand Trunk Pacific Railways into one Government-owned system, the Canadian National Railways today boast of a greater mileage than the C.P.R. Along with the railway, the Government owns and operates telegraphs, express, hotels, elevators and ships. The next development was the establishment of the Canadian Government Merchant Marine, and as a result scores of Canadian Government- owned vessels are operating from Canadian ports to ail parts of the world. Whether Government ownership and operation of irailways and steamship services in Canada will prove a financial success remains to be seen. Government railways have long existed in Germany, Russia and other European countries, but political and military reasons were the prime factor back of these Government enterprises. The exigencies of the Great War forced Government operation of railways in both Great Britain and the United States, but in neither case could the experiment be described as fcnancially successful, and, with the ending of the war, the railways were returned to private management. During the war, too, the United States entered upon, a Government 6hip-owning policy, just as Canada did, but whereas the United States Is not continuing that policy, the Dominion is persisting in it and adding to the number of its vessels In operation. While other countries have subsized steamship companies, and have been and are partners in such companies, Canada is developing au out-and-out Government-owned and managed mercantile service. It will be seen, therefore, that the Government of Canada is now i huge business concern, as well aa a political organization entrusted with legislative and administrative powers for the order and good government of the Dominion. It is engaged in what ia probably thc greatest experiment along these lines ever attempted by the Government of any democratic country. Thc outcome may well be watched with the keenest interest by the Canadian people as it may cither make or break the Dominion, tn next week's article some business undertakings by Provincial Governments will be considered. systematically developed but which offers unlimited possibilities. A potential outlet for coal of considerable Importance exists on the coast, particularly in the bunkering of the smaller steamboats and trawlers that ply along the coast, and in the fuel needs of the industries of Northern British Columbia. The development of this market would require the provision ������f storage facilities at Prince Rupert, since at present there ia no accommodation, adequate to the storage of large shipments of coal from Alberta.

A total of 113,135,274 bushels of wheat were produced in Saskatchewan during 1920 according to the final crop statement issued by the~j statistics brancli of the department of agriculture. This is an increase of 23,141,589 bushels on the 1919 figures. The crop w5t,5 below'-the average and- not nearly as good as expected prior to harvest, the yield averaging 11.2 bushels aa acre as dempared with the estimate of 14.5 bushels. In 1919 the yield was 8.5 bushels an acre. The yield was materially reduced by the dry hot weather in July. The acreage under cultivation for wheat was 10,061,069 as compared with 10,- 587,363 acrea in the previous year.

A prime beaver was the. standard,.arid. rated"as a skin. Then ten muskrats were one skin, a red,fox one skin,, a cross fox-from two tot five skins or rn-ore, a bear from five to ten sxdns and so on. Then ail articles in the trading store were priced in ^skin^ always bearing in mind one of ith|*y-;8trictirulesof the Company, -that'essential".'articles such as blankets, ammunition, clothing, etc., etc., were moderate in price, while beads, fancy shawls and belts, colored silks, were high in price. Generally when an unsophisticated Indian came in with some furs, these were .counted and valued by the clerks We will say they came to forty skins, then forty goose-quills were handed the Indian. He would think some time, then divide them up, such as five quills (representing five skins) for a blanket, four for ammunition, and *o on. If you hurried him probably the whole business would have to be gone over again, as some important items would have been forgotten. So much for the'/skin way of trading, very dear to the heart, of the older Indians, for it, was an invariable rule, that both before and af tier trading a small gratuity, generally of tea and tobacco, was handed to him. With the introduction of the present currency system, or money way as is is ���������styled in ihe.north, all gratuities were cut out and the Indians resented this _ -extremely.

Tviner mv dogs again I made for it, and approaching the spot very cautiously, noted an Indian boiling his kettle, while beside him were two small dogs and sleigh. My suspicions were excited. What was hc doing here, and Btriding' up I asked him. His reply was exasive and he seemed very unhappy at my appearance. Noticing something bulky ������n his sleigh I kicked the wrapper open, and lo and behold, here was the mate of my silver fox. I at once told him he had stolen it, for the villian had set a trap within a few yards of one of mine.
