Judge Scptt said' \"The first cause of action In this suit is the charge of poisoning on December 111.

I SPORTS ���������y���������_t: LACROSSE. The Seattle P. I. in speaking \"of the lacrosse of B. C, says as follows: April 8 has been fixed by the British Columbia Lacrosse League as the date of its next meeting, and the Seattle lacrosse club has its assurance that at that time it will be admitted to, membership. The Jocal organisation has appointed *H. E. Kentoly, Ed.- Milne and Lionel Yorke as a committee of. t/hrce to represent the ciub at the. meeting,which takes, place at Victoria. \",.*.' ~ ' There is every promise that th pared to meet every requirement oi thc leagus. Each team in the league is required to deposit $100 as un appearance- forfeit, and to keep the amomi' posted during thc season. The West minster people have already questioned whether or not the Seattl. team was able to meet that particu lar point. In reply to the question, the club already has thc hundred on deposit, and has,in its membership enough more hundreds to pay for missing eusry game on the season's schedule, should the whim strike- it. One more question that caused worry in the British mind was whether or not the Americans could lose the' habit tihcy have ot playing.on Sunday. The local club has already agreed to make Saturday afternoon its playing day, and will shape al - arrangements accordingly.'' There has been some talk of tin \"eluding .Tacoma in the league, but there now seems little liklibood that _ that town will maUa it. Taeoma's team last year was a weak one at best,- and seems no more promising this scaspn. As the league requires that clubs admitted to its membership shall lie capable of putting up a worthy scrimmage there secms^ little chance unless -the Tacomans go into the \"importing\" business pn a large scaje. Mm. Kennedy has news from Portland that there will be a rattling good team in that town during ,thc season, but that Portland will not seek to go into thc British Columbia league, the distance being too great and, the expense correspondingly heaw. rTowe-er, there is nothing in the league rules which prevents _. league member from playing exhibition matches with non-member organizations, and the Seattle club is/ looking forward to a series of off- day matches with the boys from-the sister state. _o��������� - THE ' RING.

RESOURCE OK V4^ COUVER ISLAND Vancouver \"Island offers as good chances to the farmer, prospector or investor as does any part of British Columbia. It is not easy to find a section of country that is exactly right in all respects. It' is,\" perhaps, itiipOssjble to Vrnd'such a country', bjjt for a fair chance to makp a home wifih comfortable surroundings the section of country ajjong the line of thp Esqnimalt and Nanaimp Railway js well worth considering. A few of tlie most prominent of the island's prgduptiops. and natural respr-roes oujy are mentioned ip this article. ���������o��������� Coal Deposits (a.) First among the natural resources are thc great coal measures Timber, (b.) The value of the immense timber resources of Vancouver Island; with its high1- class Douglass fir, ce- -lar etc., has already been realized by the great lumber companies.' The Victoria Lumber Company, of Chcmain- .-���������s, has among its' members shrewd. Wisconsin and Michigan lumber kings who.have\" secured, .and now'hold, hundreds of millions of feet of splendid timber and ate continually increasing th_ir holdings. , TKeir . export trade now running from 30,000,- 000 to 50,000,000 of feet per year will no doubt be. largely increase. 1 by 11 he beginning of work on thc Panama | ' :-...', for the demand, which will lie1 ^-.pplicd largely, from this section for limber to uas on the great'work, will amount to hundreds of millions - of feet. Other companies, Shawnigan Lake,\" Haslam and other companies are turning out large quantities' of lumber and- shingles. Harbors and Waterways, (c.) Harbors and waterwaysv. in conn action with Vancouver Island is n subject-understood much tetter by men who- \"go-down to sea\" than landsmen. But opposite to the mainland and*,direct~across from Vancouver, Oyster Harbor or Ladysmith Bay, has long been krlown as a safe and commodious harbor. It is one where large wharves are already, established in connection with the coal export trade and with the freight business, as the point of transfer by the C.P.R. for the Island freight. In connection with this matter it is worthy of remark that for : the last ��������� three years the transfer barge has made its daily trip and has rarely, is ever, been delayed on account of bad weather or x unfavorable conditions, and has never met with an accident. Nanaimo Harbor\", Departure\" Bay, Chamainus and other safe harbors are found along the coast. Near the north end of-the island safe harbors are found that may yet he r.sed as last ports of call for steamers leaving Victoria *' for the Orient, fast trains, connecting from Ladysmith landing, or conveying .to, passengers and mails. '.I'-. Fisheries. ,\" . The waters\" of Vancouver Island teeni with -fish. H.rring in vast quantities visit t>ur shores. A profitable trade in fisheries which includes, of? our more northern shores, halitat and other deep sea fish, is being built up and is capable of much greater development. facilities, , but not until these are provided can they ship out ore for treatment. Another, mineral sec-, tion is at- the Campbell river upon what is known aa the reserve of tlie E. & N. grant. The total value of the mineral product to date for Vancouver Island and vicinity is given by( the Provincial Mineralogist, Mr. W.' F. Robertson, as 275,322 tons of a value of $4,378,370. Pottery Clay. The clay found in the Extension Mines is-regularly shipped to Victoria to the pottery works for the manufacture of sewer pipes and pottery of-'various kinds. Stone and Lime. Magnificent building stone is found at .various points. The- quarry at Duncan, lying contiguous to the E. & N...railroad, furnishes high class ' building , stone that should be in de- J mand- where heavy stone work is re- ��������� quired, While lime quarries also exist on the line of the railroad. Good brick clay is found in Nanoose harbor above Nanaimo, and limestone on the line of the railroad, near or at Esquiaialt Harbor. Water: Power. Of, water, power, some .very large and permanent streams are found with natural' falls, some again can without great expense be developed. It seems safe to assume that great water power can be secured, comparatively cheap, at various points on Vancouver Island. Particularly is this the case in the northern part of the Island. . . Agricultural Wealth. Agricultural' development on Vancouver . Island' must be very great in the immediate future.' Tracts of land will each year be cleared0 and J put into crops if railway facilities are given to certain sections .that now find valuable, farm lands too far from markets. Included in farming stock raising is becoming a marked feature in Island development. High grades of cattle are being raised from inported stock, and the butter and cheese of Vancouver Island is now well known -for its high ,grade. ��������� Hunting and Fishing. The big gaine of Vancouver Island has not beep hunted extensively and is abundant in certain sections. Deer and other four-footed game is found in all parts of the Island. . Ducks, geese, pheasants, \"grouse and quail are to be found in season in numbers that gladden the heart of the hunter. . With the development that will result from the extension ol tlie lines of the E.; & N. Railway, North Vancouver Island will increase its wealth many fold. Mines will be opened'and other natural souiccs of wealth now valueless, ' will, with transportation, soon prove to the world that as a whole there is no other part. of the rich Province of British Columbia that ��������� can equal Vancouver Island. ���������o��������� Minfng. In connection with the mjneraj developments of the Island, it must be understood that-only during -thfs past five years has any attempt at metal mining been made on a large scale. On the west coast of-the-Island,'beginning at East Sook, mineral has been found and small shipments made from San Juan, Port Renfrew, Alberni, Uchueklesit, Clayoquoit, Kennedy Lake, Taferno Inlet, - (Deer Greek),\" Bedwcel Sound, (Bear River), Trout River, Clayoquoit Sound, Sidney Inlet, Ahousett-,:-Alktlasei.; Nootk'a, \"'' Kyuquo't and Quatsino, while in the middle of the Island1 at Central lake a large deposit of mineral has recently been discovered, .

Let us be honest with God and with ouisclves and go to Him and tell Him that we have been wicked and sinful that we have set too much value on pleasure, let us ioisake our evil ways and return to the Lord who will have mercy upon us and who is ever ready to forgive. There's joy in the presence of the an- gclsof God over one sinner that re- pentelh. Let us weigh the matter seriously and come to a decision on this all.important question.
