BC Historical Newspapers
The oldest mining camp newspaper in British Columbia. ; The Ledge was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia. The Ledge was published by James W. Grier until 1907, and was subsequently published by R. T. Lowery (1907-1920) and G. W. A. Smith (1920-1929). The paper's longest-serving editor was R. T. Lowery (1906-1926), a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. The Ledge absorbed the Boundary Creek Times in April 1911, and was published under a variant title, the Greenwood Ledge, from August 1926 to May 1929.

The new company will .issue ������500,000 of convertible .bonds and will be authorized to-issue $1,750,000. It will operate the properties as soon as possible. , New Trail for Ingenica. Peter Curren is in from the Ingenica placer district, being sent by the miners there to mark out a new trail from Hazelton, says the Omineca Herald. He has found a route which ho thinks is sixty miles shorter than the old summer- trail. Having only one summit to cross, instead of six on the present route, and being so much shorter, goods and supplies cannot only be packed in a great deal cheaper but will arrive there iu good condition. It is estimated that a pack train can be taken to the Ingenica in 17 days by the' new route, where it took 29 days to make the trip last summer over the old trail. . Following the telegraph trail through tho Kispiox valley and as far as the fourth telegraph cabin���������the police trail as it is-known, is followed from there for a distance of 35 miles to a point'on Sestut river where an Indian trail is followed to McConnell creek. Only about eighteen miles of the trail needs work done to make it a first-class pagk trail, there being places along this stretch where it should be widened by cutting out.on eachside. The B. 0. Cow. The British Columbia cow gives 1000 pounds more milk per jrear than does' her sister in Eastern Canada and the .butter produced from her milk is" of a better quality than the eastern product. This is briefly the statement recently made by R. W. Hodson, live stock commissioner for the province. This is moro ��������� encouraging to those who would like to see the dairying industry developed in this province. At present there is not nearly enough milk or butter produced in British Columbia to meet tho province's needs. Practically every pound of butter used .in the Kootenay and Boundary countries and even much of that used at the coast, where conditions are more favorable for dairying, is imported from Eastern ..Canada, while condensed milk is everywhere used in the province, owing to the lack ef the real article. The "mining outlook-in ,the interior never looked brighter than at present, according to R. P. Williams, general agent of the Canadian Rand Co., iu a recent interview in Vancouver. The indications are that the records for coal production in East Kootenay this year will surpass all previous figures. Several new coal properties in the Flathead valley are now being opened up. This is the region to which the Great Northern and Milwaukee lines are now engaged in rushing surveys with breakneck speed. In the Boundary country the Gran by and B C. Copper companies continue to maintain a large tonnage, averaging over 21,000 tons per week. The Gran by company is making arrangements to start work on its Gold Drop property in Phoenix camp, secured by purchase several months ago. Tho mine is virtually a vast quarry and will employ between 150 and 200 miners. Before leaving Rossland Mr. Williams heard a report, apparently well founded, that the Le Roi mine will resume operations shortly. This will also mean the blowing in of the company's smelter at North- port, Washington. From the first' day of May the bounty on coyotes has been increased to $3, and S2 each will be paid for big-horned owl, and $3 each for golden eagle killed within the counties of Cariboo, Yale and Kootenay. The skin of the coyote will have to be- taken to tho government agent of the district within which the coyote is killed, and both legs of the golden eagle must be produced intact to the provincial game warden, A. Bryan Williams of Vancouver by the person claiming the bounty to insure payment of the same. Old Timer Dead. ���������News has been received here of the death a short time ago in San Francisco of J.- J. Healey, one of the veteran old timers of Alberta, whose name is well known to Macleod people. Mr. Healey, with his partner, Al Hamilton, was one of the original proprietors of old Fort Whoop-Up. He had an adventurous career in the Northwest, coming hero in the late GO'S, before the mounted police. He used to describe running the buffalo on the plain where Lethbridgc now stands and how the squaws used to come out and skin the animals which he killed. Mr. Healey prospected far and wide through the Rockies and traded with the Indianp and subsequently for many years owned and ran steamboats in the Yukon. With his brother, Thomas F. Healey, he owned a big ranch in Sun River valley, Montana, and in the boom days of Benton, Mo., the head of navigation on the Missouri river, the two owned the Benton Record. Mr. Healey's descriptive articles on life in the old Northwest were features of the paper.��������� Macleod Advertrser. The White House Cafe in Nelson is next to the postoflice, right iu the heart of the city and is noted for its excellent coffee and shrot orders. Visitors to the eity should not fail to drop in and have a meal cooked by white labor. Buffalo Roundup. Howard Douglas, commissioner of Dominion parks, is in the city, says a Calgary paper, returning from ten days spent at tho buffalo roundup of "the last of tho government herd purchased from Pablo. Mr. Douglas states that the difficulties met with have been tremendous, but that Pablo, who is in direct charge of tho roundup, is going at tho work systematically and thoroughly, and that the herd will very probably bo all gathered in by a couple of weeks or so. The roundup commenced when Mr. Douglas arrived ten days ago, and the headquarters are at ihe corrals about eighteen miles from Ronan, and right in the Flathead mountains. During the past ten days IIS head have been corraled and are being held and fed in the corrals. The work of rounding up tho animals is very difficult, and although there were 100 horses aud 35 men at the start, and each horso worked on'y every third day, yet it has been found necessary to get more mounts, as the present number is not able to stand the work, Tho Kootenay Cigar Co, of Nelson havo in the Royal 8oal a cigar that is known and smoked between the wheat country; ami the blue PacMc, Plans are in preparation for the construction of a railway from the shore of Kootenay lake, at the end of the Dewdney trail, up to the Bayonne mine some 21 miles. Through a hitherto unknown pass in the valley of Squamish river, a railway grado of .10 per cent has b������en discovered, surveyed and located.

Anil startled she undoubtedly was���������! so stun led, Indeed, Unit sheet and tiller alike sll|i|ii'tl from her grasp, ami the knockabout, left to Its own devices, ! .11 POINTS II Li fll HE HATED LONG PRAYERS. Young Mr. William MeVlcker. was much given to two things���������an ardent rending of certain pessimistic German philosophers and to sleep. To many minds these two pastimes may appear synonymous, but Hilly MeVlcker, withal n rather serious personage, while he found I hem each eiiutilly pleasant, was never more awake than when, with his shortsighted eyes close to one of his favorite and well thumbed volumes, ho absorbed Teutonic reflections on life In geueral to his heart's con- tout. The philosophical tomes were ubiquitous with him. They bulged his pockets or were trundled-if they happened to bo larger���������beneath his arm with a patience worthy of belter things. Therefore ou n cerium perfect early summer day, when Mr. McViekcr walked slowly down the winding path Unit led to the anchorage iu the bay, u brown book stuck out of tho hip pocket of his yachting trousers and ti lean forefinger rested between the pages of another, which he carried lu his band. Between his periods of reading and sleep Billy MeVlcker was something of a sailor, and today, with just enough breeze for a spin with a whole sail, he u nl led the painter of the little lender, flouring nt the end of the pier, pushed J off and sculled leisurely to his knock- I about, which lay at her moorings lu tbe bay. Once aboard the knockabout, the breeze, to McVicker's unutterable disgust, began to die out. The ruffled surface of the bay begati to take on au oily smoothness, indicative of the coming calm. . MeVlcker, beholding it, grunted disgustedly. ' However, there would be plenty of other-days with a good breeze. There was even a chance that one might spring up a bit later. A patient aud uni-oniplaiiiing soul was Billy MeVlcker���������when he'was armed with one of bis philosophical tomes. Therefore bo ensconced himself comfortably ou the cushions of the cockpit, opened tbo volume in his hand and. forgetful alike of sun and calm, was soon engrossed in his reading. Long and thoughtfully did McVicker follow the text. Then, pausing for a moment to digest what he had just beeu perusing, he wns aware that the . second of his pastimes was crying came suddenly into the wind with a great flapping of sail and rattling of sheets. "Oil!" said tlie girl in amazement. Again McVicker bowed. "You'll pardon my Intrusion, won't you?" said he. "I'm mighty sorry I frigliiened you; but, you see, there was really no other way of making my presence known, and it would havo been a shame to miss this chance of a sail with you." i "Where did you come from, aud what on earth are you doing here?" she asked. To cover her evident embarrassment she began trimming in flic sheet and putting the neglected boat on her course again. ''1 came from tlie cuddy," said McVicker gravely, "and. as to what I am doing, well, i am waiting at present for an invitation to finish your sail with you." "How do you happen to be aboard this knockabout, anyway?" sho persisted. "Well, I believe I own her. At any rate, ihere are papers purporting to be a bill of sale of her in my desk at home." "Your boat?" she cried in nniftze- merit. "You say this is your boat?" Fie nodded, smiling. "Then somebody has made a mistake Mr. Gray told me to take this boat, the one at the third buoy from the pier." "Under ordinary circumstances the bout at the third buoy would have been Gray's." said MeVlcker. "But Hanson just went out awhile ago, and J'm afraid you've not taken the empty mooring buoy, which lie left, into your reckoning." "And I've come aboard your boat and taken you out, then," she said, with j un odd expression curling her lips, j "Why didu't you tell me when 1 first came aboard?" "To tell the truth, 1 was asleep in tlio cuddy," said he. "J made my presence known as soon as i was awakened by the slatting of the sail."

A man had asked j at a dairy for a glass of milk to drink j and wiis given skimmed milk, for which at the customer's complaint, the dairyman wns fined. In a higher court, however, this decision was reversed. It being contended that skimmed milk was really much more milk than milk that was not skimmed, for the reason that the latter contained, something that was not milk at ail- viz, cream. Some of'the oddest points at law are those growing cut of the tender passion. A judge in a western court was once called on to determine the hour at which evening courtship should cease. The circumstances were these: A merchant had become much concerned at the late hour* at which his daughter's Mover lingered with, her at the parental abode and so sought the ! aid of the Jaw to expedite the young i_ man's time of departure. In delivering bis decree the learned judge declared that 11 o'clock p. m. was tho latest hour at which any young man, fiance or not, should be tolerated in the young woman's home and that after such hour the parents ���������would be entirely-justified in forcibly ejecting him. A queer case once turned up in a New England town. A young man had embraced his sweetheart so vigorously that he seriously injured her ribs. If he suffered any mental anguish as the result of this contretemps, so likewise did he suffer iu pocket, for as the result of an action brought against him by the young woman (he youth was lined iu the sum of $300 damages for the injury done the girl's ribs. New England also affords this amusing caso: A young Lothario of Maine during the course of his courtship was each evening hospitably entertained at supper by his sweetheart. Some time afterward, his ardor cooling, the young man sought other fields to conquer. Then what should the young woman do but sue thc young man who had been so bountifully entertained for ob talning the suppers on false pretenses And, what Is more, she succeeded in getting a judgment.���������Edwin Tarrlssc lu New York Tribune.

Some, observer noticing superior characteristics in a plant, has isolated and propagated it. These variations are occurring all the time. They may be due to accidental cross- fertilization, they may be simply "sports," but whatever their origin, if they vary in the direction of higher yield, better quality or stronger straw, they are worth propagating. *********>)<--!<*************** The ills of childhood are many, and may prove serious if not promptly attended to.

' I paid ' no attention to this, thinking it would pass away in a day or so, but to my surprise it got worse. The nose then became swollen and hard, and turned a purplish red, as well as part of the cheek on that side of my face. As.the disease developed, pimples and ulcers broke out, then the skin cracked in places and peeled off- in flakes, leaving my face and nose raw and sore. This condition reacted on my general health, and I became very ill. I could get no sleep' at night because of the irritation and the pain, and my face was in such' shocking condition that for two months I did not go out of the house.

Zam-Buk reduced tlie discoloration, then, the hard swelling began to show traces of leaving, the sores- seemed to be less angry, and in about three week' time most of the sores were healing nicely. To cut a long story short, I continued with the Zam- Buk treatment until- my face was cleared completely of all traces of the tioublesome and painful eczema."

Pill That is -Prized.���������There have been many pills put upon the market and pressed upon public attention, but none has endured so long or met with so much favor as Parmelec's Vegetable Pills. Widespread use of them has attested their great value, and they need no further advertisement than this. Having firmly established themselves in public esteem, they now rank without a peer in thc list of standard vegetable preparations.

Present to a Chinese Emperor That Puzzled the Orientals. * When, in 1793, Sir George Macartney headed the first British embassy to China, he brought with him numerous presents for tho emperor. Among these was a magnificent state carriage, an article which delighted, but at the same time puzzled, the Chinese more than any other gift. Nothing like it had ever been seen at the capital. Comical disputes Immediately arose as to tlie seat intended for the emperor. Tho haramercloth which covered the box of the carriage had a smart edging of festoons of roses. It made a splendid appearance, and that, with its elevated position, immediately determined the official mind that it was without doubt the emporer's seat. Then the question arose of what the inside of tho coach was intended for. The blinds, screens and so forth wero all carefully examined, and it was decided that the interior was the place for the ladles only. Au old retainer went to a member of the embassy to ask if the conclusions wero correct. Wheu he learned that tho fine elevated box was the seat-of the coach ma,n aud that the emperor's place was inside the coach he was horrified. He asked, with a sneer, if it was supposed that the son of heaven would suffer any. one to sit higher than himself and turn his back on him. When ho found that the driver was obliged to use the seat in question he requested that the box be removed and placed somewhere behind.���������Helen II. Robbins' "Our First Ambassador to China."

An African Salary That Commanded Respect and .Obedience. Makuba and Obianga were two Africans, the one the captain of a boat crew aud the other subordinate to him. Oblanga was an independent fellow, not in the least lazy, who rather resented "bossing." In a book entitled "The Jungle Folk of Africa" R. H. MUIigan tells of nn altercation between the two men. Makuba, the diplomatic, came out of it with flying colors. The worst disputes between Makuba nnd Oblanga took place when they supposed that I was asleep. The native when he lies down anywhere sleeps immediately, Whenever I' was lying in the bottom of the boat Ihey always thought I'was unconscious and that no conceivable noise could waken me. Captain Makuba orders Oblanga to "haul away on the peak "halyards," to which Oblanga promptly replies: "Do it yourself." "I won't do It; you will do it!" says Makuba In a threatening tone. ��������� "Are you my father?" says Oblanga. "N"o,"vanswers Makuba, with Infinite scorn. "Uow could a Kombl man be the father of a creature like you?" "Then stop giving me orders!" says Oblanga, with rising wrath. "It is not the first time you have tried it, and one of these days you will find out that It wou't do." "One of these days you will find out that I am captain of this boat and that you "will" have to obey me," says Makuba. "Not as long as I carry a gun," answers Oblanga. By this time they are standing up and looking hard at each othpr. But Makuba would not think of striking a man iu a mission boat. He therefore becomes diplomalic. Suddenly in a tone altogether different he says: "Obianga, the trouble with you is that you are just a bushman. You don't know auything about'civilization. - On every big ocean steamer there" Is a captain, and every, man ou board, no matter what tribe Jie belongs to, obeys the captain." Obianga becomes instantly curious and asks, "Is he rich?" "Yes," says Makuba: "he gets big pay, and so do I get big pay." "How much do you get, Makuba?" "now much do you think?" \Obianga thinks as well as he knows how, his countenance distorted with the effort, and at length answers reflectively, "Two dollars a month." lie himself gets a dollar and a half. A broad smile engages Makuba's features as he slowly answers, "Five dollars a month." Obianga gives expression to his surprise in a long, low whistle. It is quite evident to him that no ordinary person could command such wages, and in a tone of utmost compliance he says: "What was it you told me to do, Makuba? I forget." "L forget, too," says Makuba. "Oh, yes," he adds, "I told you to haul on the peak halyards." How Best to Get New Health and Strength in Spring. The winter months are trying to the health of even the most robust Confinement in-doors in over-heated and nearly always badly ventilated rooms���������in the home, the office, the shop and the school���������taxes the vitality, of even the strongest. The blood becomes thin and watery or clogged with impurities. Sometimes you get up in the morning just as tired as when you went to bed. Some people have headaches;'others are low spirited; some have pimples and skin eruptions. These are all spring symptoms that the blood is out of order You can't cure these troubles with purgative medicines, which merely gallop through the system leaving-you still weaker. What you need to give you health and- strength in the spring is a tonic medicine, and thc one always reliable tonic and blood builder is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills not only banish spring ills, but guard you against the more serious ailments that follow, such as anaemia nervou3 debility, rheumatism, indigestion and kidney trouble, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make new, rich blood which strengthens , every nerve, every organ and every part of the body. Try this medicine this spring and you will have strength and energy to resist the torrid heat of the coming summer. Mr. J. Pi. Johnson, Loch Broom N. B., says:���������"Some two years ago I began to feel that my constitution was' weakening. I could not stand any exposure or knocking about. I, finally sought the aid of a doctor, who said my system was very much run down and that the trouble might end in nervous prostration. As his medicine did not help me, I decided, on the advice of a friend, to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills" a trial. I had used less than a half dozen boxes when my health was fully restored, and I think no other medicine can equal these Pills when one is run down and out of health."

It has long been known that winter was the best time of the year for cutting down trees for their timber,1 but until the American bureau of forestry published the results of some'experiments no one was sure'why. The bu-, reau of forestry" selected four pine trees of the same age and of equal vigor, growing in the same soil, and felled tbem| the first at the end of December, the second at the end of January, thc third at the end of February and the fourth at the,'end of March. They were hewn into logs of the same size and dried at the samo place. Then the logs were tested.' The December log resisted a flexile strain 'twice as strong as that which the March log resisted. It furnished piles which were still perfect and un- decayed sixteen years later, while the piles made from the March log had rotted within three or four years. Wood that Is felled in December. Is loss porous than that cut at other times. It has been proved that oak felled in the spring allowed water to percolate through It in from two to three hours, while similar wood cut in December was seemingly impermeable.

A Baltimore man interested in antiquarian research made a collection of old lottery tickets which gives interesting testimony as to the development of public morals. Most' of the tickets were given out by Maryland lotteries, but quite as large a collection could undoubtedly be made In other states. Four of the tickets ore in the Washington monument lottery, which was authorized by the legislature and was not given up until 1S24. As early as 1753 a lottery was advertised to build a wharf. The drawing took place April 30, 1754. Ten years later one was undertaken to build a market house in "Baltimore Town" and for. "buying two fire engines aud a parcel of leather bucketts." In 17S2 a yearly lottery was authorized to aid the city expenses. Other objects for which money was raised in this way were parsonages.' church bells, .circulating libraries and gristmills.

The dictatorship of Castro.in Venezuela has been compared with that of President- Francia', who terrorized Paraguay for over thirty years. Francia was a worshiper of Napoleon, whom ho endeavored to Imitate in every possible way. He possesses only one portrait of bis Idol, a German caricature, which depicted the emperor wearing an exaggerated version of the famous gray overcoat. Francia took this picture seriously and for many years paraded the streets of Asuncion clad in a gray dressing gown. and a cocked hat, which he fondly believed to bo the habitual garb of the "French 'despot. ' "' ��������� Castro's most distinguished predecessor was also a Napoleon devotee, but Bolivar had seen his idol and could thus imitate him more faithfully. lie managed to acquire the emperor's brusque speech and other mannerisms, pulled people's ears when in a good humor and dictated dispatches to several secretaries at once. He founded an order closely modeled on the Legion of Honor; surrounded himself with a guard of negroes from Haiti, after the style of Napoleon's mame- lukes, and endeavored to codify the laws of bis country. When he returned to America after witnessing Napoleon's coronation Bolivar entered Caracas standing in a Roman chariot drawn by twelve maideus belonging to tho first families of the town.���������Loudon Chronicle.

While consumptives arc being taken care of and tuberculosis is bcingv conquered who is going to fight pneumonia, which seems each year to claim more and more victims. It is'.tliu children.and older people who yield most readily to this disease, but with the system run down or from undue exposure it is to be looked for as the result of any severe cold on the chest and lungs. While the doctors arc experimenting with cures why not d^ all we can to prevent this dreadful ailment by taking every cold seriously and using Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine to allay the inflammation of the bronchial tubes, to aid expectoration and to keep the cough free and loose. 1'his great medicine has a thorough and far-reaching action, which is not obtained from ordinary cough medicines, and this is why three bottles of it are sold for one of any similar treatment. It has proven its extraordinary value in the cure of coughs, colds, croup, bronchitis and asthma and people- have learned to trust it implicitly and to keep it constantly at hand. Mrs. F.

Why He Wondered. A certain Irish police inspector was reviewing a Belfast police station, the sergeant of which was a very bad speller. Looking through the books, he came upon an entry, "Found a pig wondering on the public road." "Sergeant," said he, "what was the pig wondering at?" "I don't know, sir," said the bewildered man. "Well," said the Inspector grimly, "1 do. He must have been wondering why I promoted you!" The Word "Person." General Benjamin R Butler, it is said, once asserted that a woman was not a "person," and a Loudon suffragette insists that the word "person" in its legal sense includes woman. The word has had an interesting history. Signifying by etymology something to make a sound through, the Latin "persona" began by meaning an actor's mask with its mouthpiece. Then it meant tbe character represented by the player���������"dramatis personae." Then it came to mean the part or character one sustains in real life, and so the "persona ecclesiae," the man who represented the church, became known 33 a "person" in a special sense aud was eventually spelled as "parson." On the other' hand, "person" faded oway to mean just anybody. And so, though n woman naturally resents being referred to ns a "person" in ordinary talk, many women no less naturally desire to count as "persons" In the eye of the franchise law. igenclcs, and not one member of their family has ever yet been shadowed."

Ugly marks caused by splits or cracked places In furniture are easily filled in with beeswax, and the mark is never detected. In fact, this is how furniture dealers cover such blemishes. First slightly soften the beeswax until it is like putty, then press firmly into the cracks and smooth evenly with a thin knife. Sandpaper over the surrounding wood and work the dust into,the beeswax. This gives a wood finish or color, and when the furniture is varnished you will look In vain for the blemishes.

V The Huge Steel Beak Is Capable of Inflicting Terrible Injury. A modern ram is nothing more than a huge steef beak, or spur, which is fitted to the prow of the battleship for the purpose of destroying an enemy's ship in time of war by the force of collision. Indeed, should a vessel succeed in driving her ram against another warship the blow, if delivered at full speed, would bo sufficient to crush in the ship's side nnd sink her Immediately. A battleship's ram weighs about forty tons and Is cast all in one piece. It is of solid steel and capable of striking a tremendous blow. . Shell proof a man-of-wnr may be made, but the skill of tho naval architect ls unequal to the task of designing a ship that can resist the ram. Great care must be exercised In fixing such a heavy piece of steel. The method generally adopted Is as follows: Tho ram ls suspended from a strong derrick, tho bottom end of which is attached to the extreme end of tho vessel's keel plates. The gap between thc ram and the uncompleted part, or bull, Is walled tight compartments. The weapon Is so fixed that It strikes just below the armored belt, where resistance ls weakest, whllo it is so shaped that.the ramming vessel can by reversing her engines easily disentangle herself from the ship sho has struck.

About Float "Float is not a periodical. It is a book containing 8G illustrations all told, and is filled with sketches and stories of western life. It tells how a gambler cashed in after the flush days of Sandon ; how it rained iu New Denver long after Noah was dead ; how a parson took a drink at Bear Lake in early clays ; how justice was dealt in Kaslo in '93; how the Baloon man outprayed the women in Kalamazoo, and ��������� graphically depicts the roamings of a western editor among the tender- feet in the cent belt. It contains the -early history ��������� of Nelson aud a romance of the Silver King mine. . In it are printed three western poems, and dozens of articles too numerous to mention.

Preserve the Local Paper. The Bomanville Statesman reports that a proposition is under consideration looking to the organization of a central plant for the purpose of printing all the papers issued in Whitby Oshawa and Iknvmanville. Practical effect has already been given to a somewhat similar idea in Oxford and Perth. Thero can be no doubt, too, that by this means certain economics and improvements are rendered possible. One efficient typesetting machine and ono fast press can be made to do the work in a central oflice for all the papers interested, and the expense of maintaining four or live inferior presses and type-setting machines may be thereby avoided. Ily cooperation in the gatheiing of news again all thc papers can bo brought up to a higher level of efliciency in thiy respect than is possible uuder a system wherein each editor depends on his own exertions. It will, however, be a grave misfortune if the ���������development of thc idea which is being promulgated eventuates in tho loss of the individuality of the local uewppapcr. Iu cities the day of tho personal ownership of daily papery is ap- pronching its termination. In ti few years all such publications wil- be owned by companies, and the intercuts of (���������tockhoklcTS outside their journalistic holdings will in many cages bo greater than their interest in the newspaper. Such a HyKtom carries with it the ever present danger of a paper being used to support outside personal interests to the detriment of pub lie rights. The situation of local papers is at present wholly different. In almost all cases these journals are owned by individuals, and the owner's financial existence may be naid to depend upon tho success of All of a Kind. . The police court affords some opportunity for humor. Police Clerk Menzio is a Baptist, Chief McAuley claims thc Methodist as his denomination, and .Police Magistrate Oreasor comes of a well- known Presbyterian family. A few mornings ago a half dozen husky fellows of various nationalities lined up as vagrants���������having been given the hospitality of tbe cells for the night. Knowing the circumstances, the police magistrate intimated as soberly as he could that those who were Baptists would receive five years ; those who were Methodists, three years, but that all Presbyterians could go. Needless to say the clerk and chief appreciated the joke when the whole squad filed out to fresh air and freedom, looking as grave as though they had escaped by a hair's breadth a dire fate, though some of them couldn't have picked out a follower of John Knox from a Liberal on a bet.���������Owen Sound Times. Mrs. Schubert, senior, mother of our townsman, J. A. Schubert, is visiting her son aiul his family. Mrs. Schubert has the honor of being a pioneer of the pioneers and the only woman who accompanied the famous overland expedition across the Canadian plains in the early sixties and through the mountains to the interior of British Columbia. That expedition, if the records of it are preserved, will iu the years to come, as it does even now, read like a romance. A few survivors only remain, among whom nniy be mentioned A. L. Fortune, J. A. Mara, and Mrs. Schubert. The expedition left Ontario and by early summer of 1SG2 it was joined at Fort Garry by Mr. and Mrs. Schubert, and it took Ave nnd one-half months to cover the distance from Fort Garry to Kamloops on horseback. A few years were spent placer mining in Cariboo before Mr. and Mrs. Schubert made their way down into the Okanagan aud settled at Round Prairie, now in the municipality of Spallumcheen where their family was raised and which is still the old homestead.���������nedley Gazette. compli.-di psychasthenic.

McComb. A Sunday Roast. The Rev. Wm. Sunday addressed the Presbyterian ministers in Pittsburg a short time ago'iuthefol lowing manner: The evangelist said many ministers of the present day were fudgo- :������ting niol continually ly-coddle:-*, springing who were bull-con to their congregations. ne asserted thnt few ministers of today are anything but stiffs and salary quacks, willing to accept social distinction, and' that many of them are qtialiQed for the funny house. Continuing, he said :��������� Some of you ministers are controlled by riches and not by the Bible. Many of you arc grafters pure and simple. You know 'this, too. Thero arc some of you preaching today, who should be carrying the hod. What wo do want is to tear down the seminaries and stand the professors on their heads in mud puddles. A seminary and its teachings are of no more use to preaching than a crime's legs are to a setting hen. I a in not an osteopath ; I am a surgeon, and my lino is to cut out the abcess in the side of the church, A story is told of a colonel in General Lee's division in the late civil war who sometimes indulged in more applejack than was good for him. Passing him one evening leaning against a tree, the general said : "Good evening, colonel. Come over to my tent for, a moment, please." "S-s-cuso me, g-geral," replied the colonel. " It's 'bout all I can can do to stay where I am." It commences to look as though evil associations disrupt good politics.���������Grass Valley Union.

W. P. Williams, who seventeen years ago purchased from Ex- Presideut Roosevelt a huge ranch at Medora, Mont,, will pass through Alberta shortly with 3,000 thoroughbred cattle and will travel to Grand Prairie in the Peace River country where he will establish one of the largest ranches at present north of the boundary line.

High living is the limit of many a man's lofty ideals. It doesn't take a blunt person long to come to tho point. Most of the free advice we getj' is worth just about that much. It is enough to make a woman frown if her husband smiles too often. When a man is married to a good woman he doesn't think it necessary to go to church. And it sometimes' happens that one can judge from appearances. Many a woman seoms: straight- laced because she is laced that way. The first time you meet a woman she'll begin to tell you her troubles if she has a chance ; the second time she will make the chance. Work and Noise. Work is the enemy of iiisomia. The sufferer from bad or broken sleep is liable to give up duties or to be slack in their performance, to abandon exercise and forget his usual bodies hobbies because of his anticipation of it night of distress. Li tiie reality he ought to prepare himself for sleep by congential activity, in which his miudwill.be weaned away from the fear of not sleeping. Once more, work is an enemy to- the fears and impulsions, to the rilrango flense of unreality und Selected. Never tell a man that he is a fool, because in the first place he will not believe it, and in the next' you make him your enemy. Being funny is the hardest kind of work for many. The man who will discover a substitute for swearing which will express one's feelings and yet be refined, will be doing a greater work than Columbus. To be content look backward on those who possess less than yourself, not forward on those who possess more. .lie that-hath a trade hath an estate. Have a way of your own, then keep out of other people's way. _The only serious and formidable thing in nature is will. The bottom soon drops out of a quickly made friendship. No killings are made by those who aim too high. The poorest man on earth is he who is without friends. Many a man who is euro he is right lacks the euergy to go ahead. There are some points which one must needs reach in a roundabout way. After robbing retcr many men forget to pay Paul. The man who would find fault doesn't have a long hunt. He who has no friends makes no foes. lie who gives happiness increases his own. As long as men think at all they will never think alike. Better the pushing pessimist than tho dreaming optimist. Teople who blow their own horns need not worry about get- ting~eucorcs ready. Tho fire cannot warm you if your heart is cold. They who fish in pails need no life preservers.
