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 three connections with tho surface made it unnecessary to longer maintain artificial ventila tion, and the small amount of power required to operate the electric railway, tho employment of UkOtortnen, dump switchmen, track and car repairers, is practically all the expense attached to the handling of traffic. There was approximately, on January 1, j 90S, over 10,000 feet of laterals driven on tho various vei- h intersected by the iVewhousii ���������tumid, making altogether more than six miles and atjnartor of underground workings us the result of the driving of tho tunnel.

(Continued) Before putting it back into its hiding place I turned it over and glanced at the back. To my surprise thero was a large blot there that I felt prepared to swear had not been upon It when Bon had given it to 'me. The Idea disquieted me exceedingly. I cudgelled my brains to find some explanation for it, but in vain. One thought made me gasp with fright. Had It been - abstracted from my pocket during my illness? If this were so I might bo forestalled. I consoled myself, however, with tho reflection that, even if It had been examined by strangers, no harm would be done, for beyond the bare points of the compass it contained no description of the place, or where It was situated; only the.plan of a creek, a dotted line running five hundred paces north-west and a black spot Indicating a blasted pirn tree. As Ben had given me my directions in a whisper, 1 was convinced in my own mind that it was quite impossible for anyone else to share my secret. A week later I settled my account with Gibbs, and having purchased sufficient stores from him to carry me on my way, saddled my horses and set off across country for the Boolga Range. I was still weak, but my Etrength was daily coming back to me. B& the time I reached my destination I felt I should be fit for anything. It was a long and wearisome journey, and it was not. until I had been a month on the road that I sighted the range some fifty miles or so ahead of me. The day following I camped about ten miles due north of it, and had the satisfaction of knowing that next morning, all being well, I should be at my destination. By this time the idea of the mine, and the possibility of the riches that awaited me, had grown upon me to such an extent that I could think of nothing else. It occupied my waking thoughts, and was the con-. tinual subject of my dreams by night. A thousand times or more, as I made my way south, I planned what I would do with my vast wealth when I should have obtained it, and to such a pitch "did this notion at last bring mo that the vaguest thought that my journey might after all be fruitless hurt me like positive pain. That night's camp, so short a distance from my Eldorado, was an ex-- traordinary one. My anxiety was so great that I could not sleep, but spent the greater part of the night tramping about near the fire, watching the eastern heavens and wishing for day. As soon as the first sign of light was In the sky I ran up my horses, saddled them, and without waiting to cook breakfast, set off for the hills which I could see rising like a faint blue cloud above the tree tops to the south. Little more than half-an-hour's ride from my camo brought mo to the creek, which I followed to-the spot indicated on the chart. My horses would not travel fast enough to keep pace with my impatience. My heart beat so furlouslv that I felt as if I should choke,1 and when I found, the course of the stream trending off in a southeasterly direction, I felt as if another hour's suspense must inevitably terminate my existence. Ahead of me I could see the top of the range rising quite distinctively above the timber, and every moment I expected to burst upon the plain which Den had described to me. When I did, I almost fell from my saddle in sheer terror. The plain was certainly there, the trend of the river, the rocks and the hillside were just as they had been described to me, but there was one vital difference���������the whole place was covered with tents, and alive with men. The field had been discovered, and now, in all human probability, my claim was gone. The very thought shook me like the ague. Like a madman I pressed my heels into my horse's sides, crossed the creek and began to climb the hill. Pegged-out claims and a thousand miners, busy as ants in an ant heap, surrounded me on every Bide. I estimated my five hundred paces from the rocks on the creek bank, and pushed on until I had the blasted gum, mentioned on the chart, bearing due south. Hereabouts, to my despair, the claims were even thicker than before���������not an inch of ground was left unoccupied. Suddenly straight before me, from a shaft head on the exact spot described by Ben, appeared the face of a man I should have known anywhere in the world���������it was the face of my old enemy Bartrand. Directly I saw it the whole miserable truth dawned upon me, and I understood as clearly as daylight how I had been duped. Springing from my saddle and leaving my animals to stray where they would, I dashed across the interven Ing space and caught him just as he emerged from the shaft. He recognized me instantly, and turned as pale as death. In my rage I could have strangled him where he stood, aa easily as I would have done a chicken. "Thief and murderer," I cried,' beside myself with rage and not heeding who might be standing by. "Give up tho mine you have stolen from me. Give up the mine, or, as I live, I'll kill you." He could not answer, for the reason that my grip upon his throat was throttling him. But tho noise he made brought his men to his assistance. By main force they dragged me off, almost foaming at the mouth. For tha tlmcT'being I was a maniac, unconscious of everything save that I wanted to kill the man who had stolen from me the one great chance of my life. "Come, come, young fellow, easy does It," cried an old miner, who had come up with the crowd to enquire the reason of the excitement. "What's all this about? What has he done to you?" Without a second's thought I sprang upon a barrel and addressed them. Speaking with all the eloquence at my command, I first asked them if there was anyone present who remembered me. There was a dead silence for nearly a minute, then a burly miner standing at tho back of the crowd shouted that he did. He had worked a claim next door to mine at Banyah Creek, ho said, and was prepared to swear to my Identity whenevor I might wish hlm to do so. I asked him If he could tell me the name of my partner on that field, and he instantly answered "Old Ben Garman." My Identity and my friendship with Ben having been ,tbiw established J (.'ascribed len'a an an advertisement in tne Sydney "nrc-fn- ing Herald which seems to be addressed to you. Here it is!" He took up a paper and pointed to a few lines in the "agony" column. When he handed it to me I read the following:��������� "If Gilbert Pennethorne, third son of the late Sir Anthony William Pennethorne, Bart., of Polton-Penna, in the County of Cornwall, England, at present believed to bo resident in Australian will apply at the office of Messrs. Grey and Dawkett, solicitors, Macquarie Street, Sydney, he will hear of something to his advantage." I looked at the paper in a dazed sort of fashion, and then, having thanked the Commissioner for his kindness, withdrew. In less than two hours I was on my way to Sydney to interview Messrs. Grey and Dawkett. On arriving I discovered their office, and when I had established my identity, learned from them that my father had died suddenly while out' hunting, six months before, and that by his will I had benefited to the esfent of Ave thousand pounds sterling. Three days later Lho excitement and bitter disappointment through which I ��������� my uinoBB. i ms cione . ,had latrel>' Passed brought on a re- t Bartrand with having l apse of my old llness, and for near- rot, and dared him tc y a f01'tni������nt J hovered between life and death in tho Sydney Hospital. whr>n I w* tl-iri' "hf'-itnb'e iusMhiHnu It was to learn that Bartrand was the SUlU iJoaat:J>aOr Ol H'llUl WHS COUS.Ufai tid the richest.gold mine in tho world, and that he, after putting it Into the hands of reliable officers, h������.d left Australia for London. As soon as I was quite strong again I packed up my traps, and,.with the lust of murder in my heart, booked a passage in a P. and 0. liner, and followed him. ... (To Be Continued) rival at iwarRHTniriie, ancl Bartrand's treatment of us.both. I went on to tell them how I had nursed the old man until he .died, nnd how on his deathbed he had told mo of the rich find he had made in the ftoolga. Ranges. I gave the exact distances, and flourished the chart before their faces so that all might s.vo it. I next described Gibba as one o* Bartrand's tools, and commented upon the ink-stain, on the bacli of the plan which had aroused my curiosity after my illness. This done I openly taxed stoleu my seer deny It. As If in confirmation of my accusation, It was then remembered bj those present thai he had been the fl-rti man upon the field, and, moreover that he had settled on the exact spot marked upon my plan. After this, the crowd began to imagine that there I; might really be something In the charge I had brought against tho fellow. Bartrand, I discovered later, had followed his old Queensland tactics ind by his bullying had made himself abjectionablo upon the field. For this reason tho miners were not prejudiced In his favour. In the middle of our dispute, and just at the moment when ominous cries of "Lynch him" were beginning to go up, there was a commotion be hind us, and presently the Commis sioner, accompanied by an escort of troopers, put in an appearance, and enquired the reason of the crowd. Having been Informed, the great man beckoned me to him and led me down the hill to the tent, which at that time was used as a Court House. Here 1 was confronted with Bartrand, and ordered to tell my tale. I did so, making the most I could of the facts at my disposal. The Commissioner listened attentively, and when I had finished turned to Bartrand. "When did you receive the information which led you to make your way to this particular spot?" he asked. "From the same person who gave this man his," coolly replied Bartrand. "If Mr. Pennethorne had given me an opportunity, I would willingly have made this explanation earlier. But on the hill yonder he did all the talking, andl was permitted no chance to get in a word." "You mean to say then," said the Commissioner in his grave, matter-of- fact way, "that this Ben Garman supplied you with the information that led you to this spot���������prior to seeing Mr. Pennthorne." "That is exactly what I do mean," replied Bartrand quickly. "Mr. Pennethorne, who at that time was in my employment as storekeeper upon Mar- kapurlie Station, was out at one of the boundary riders' huts distributing rations when Garman arrived. The letter was feeling very ill, and not knowing how long he might be able to get about, was most anxious to find sufficient capital to test this mine without delay. After enquiry I agreed to invest the money he required, and we had just settled the matter in amicable fashion when he fell upon the ground in a dead faint. Almost at the same Instant Mr. Pennethorne put in an appearance and behaved in a most unseemly manner. Unless his motives are revenge, I cannot conceive, your worship, why I should have been set upon in this fashion." The Commissioner turned to me. "What have you to say to this?" he qelrgrj * "Only that he lies," I answered furiously. "He lies in every particular. He has been my enemy from the very first moment I set eyes upon him, and j feel certain as that I am standing before you now, that Ben Garman did not reveal to him his secret. I.hVsed the old man on his deathbed, and if he had confided his secret to any one he would have been certain to tell me. But he impressed upon me the fact that he had not done so. When he was dead I became seriously ill in my turn, and the information that led this man's taking?- up the claim was stolen from me, I feel convinced, while I was in my delirium. The man is a bully and a liar, and not satisfied with that record, he has made himself a thief." "Hush, hush, my man," said the Commissioner, soothingly. "You must not talk in that way here. Now be off, both of you, let me hear of no quarrelling, and to-morrow I will give my decision." We bowed and left him, each hating the other like poison, as you may be sure. Next morning a trooper discovered me camped by the Creek, and conducted me vto the "Commissioner's presence. I found him alone, and when I was ushered in he asked me to sit down. ''���������������������������, "Mr. Pennethorne," said he, when the trooper had departed, "I have sent for you to.talk to you about the charge you have brought against the proprietor of the 'Wheel of Fortune' mine on the hillside yonder. After mature consideration, I'm afraid I cannot further consider your case. You must see for yourself that you have nothing at all to substantiate the chargo you mako beyond your own bald assertion. If, as you say, you havo been swindled, yours is indeed a stroke of bad luck, for the mine is a magnificent property; but if, on the other hand���������as I must perforce believe, since he was first upon the field���������Bartrand's statement Is a true one,, then I can only think you have acted most unwisely in behaving as you have done. If you will be guided by me, you will let the matter drop. Personally I do not see that you can do anything else. Bartrand evidently received the news before you did, and, as I said just now, In proof of that wc have thc fact that he was first on the field. There Is no gainsaying that." "But I was ill and could not come," I burst out. "I tell you he stole from me tho Information that enabled him to get here at all." "Pardon me, I do not know that. And now it only remains for me to ask you to remember that ��������� we can have no disturbance here." "I will make no disturbance," I answered. "You need have no fear of that. If I cannot get possession of my property by fair means I shall try elsewhere." "That does not concern me," ho replied. "Only, I think on the evidence you have at present In your possession you'll be wasting your timo and your money. By the way, your name Is Gilbert Pennethorne, Is It not?" "Yes," I said, without much Interest, "and much good It has ever done me."

"When Mother Shipton heard thai King Henry VIII. should bo king aud Cardinal!

When they came they knocked at the doors. She said, "Come in, Mr. Beasley, and those honorable lords with you,' and Mr. Beasley "would have put in the lords before him, but she said: 'Come in, Mr. Beasley. You know the way. They do not.' "Then they went into the house -where there was a great fire, and they drank and were very merry. "'Mother Shipton,' said the duke, 'you said the cardinall should never see Yorke.' " 'Yea,' said she, 'I said he might see Yorke, yet never come to it'" "'But,' said the duke, 'when he comes to Yorke thou shalt be burned.' " 'We shall see that,' said she, and, plucking her handkerchief off her head, she threw it into the fire, and it would not burn. Then she took it and put it on again. Then said the duke, 'What meaune you by this?' "She replied, 'If this had burned, 1 might have burned.' " 'Mother Shipton,' quoth the duke, 'what do you think of me?' " 'Why, lord,' said she, 'the time will come when you will be as low as I am.' (The duke was afterward beheaded.) "My Lord Plercy saW, 'And what say you of me?' '"My lord,' said she, 'shoo your horse in the quick and you shall doe well, but your body will be burned in Yorke pavement, and your head shall be stolen from the Barre and carried into France.' (This proved true, for he rose in rebellion in the north, and by not flying when he might he was taken and beheaded in Yorke, where his body was burned, "au^ his head was stolen away and carried into France.) "Not longe after came the cardinall to Cawood, and, 'going to the top of the Tower, he asked, 'Where stands Yorke?' and said that one said that he should never see Yorke.

As the animal is nearer to us than the vegetable, so Is animal 'intelligence nearer akin to our own than plant intelligence. We hear of plant physiology, but not yet of plant psychology When a plant growing in a darkened room leans toward the light the leaning, we are taught, is a purely, mechanical process. The effect of the light upon the cells of the plant brings It about In a purely mechanical way, but when an animal is drawn to the light the process Is a much more complex one nnd Implies a nervous system It Is thought by some that tho roots of a water loving plant divine tho water from afar and run toward It. The truth Is the plant or tree sends Its roots In all directions, but those on tho side, of water find the ground molstcr In that direction nnd their growth Is nc cclcrntcd, while the others aro checked by the dryness of the soil. An ash tree stands on a rocky slope where thr soil 13 thin and poor twenty or twenty- five feet from my garden. After awhile It scut so many roots down Into the garden and so robbed tho garden vegetables of the fertilizers thnt we cut the roots off and dug a trench to keep the tree from sending more. Now, the gardener thought the tree divined the rich pasturage down below thero and reached for It accordingly. The truth Is, 1 suppose, that tho roots on that side fouud a little more and better soil nnd so pushed on till they reached .the garden, where they were nt once so well fed that they multiplied and extended themselves rnpldly. The tree waxed strong and every season sent more and stronger roots Into the garden.���������John Burroughs In Outing Magazine. ��������� When It Rises.

' Dramatic End of This Brave, Generous and Determined Spirit ��������� The Way tho Foarless Fighter Once Protected a Preacher In Texas. One fine summer morning In 1833��������� the year that Santa Anna seized the presidency of the new republic of Mexico���������a small party of horsemen crossed the Sabine river about sixty miles from Its mouth and entered Texas territory. Most of them were clad In buckskin and armed with rifle, pistol and knife���������a rough, determined looking crowd, with two notable exceptions, one clean shaven, dark skluned, with a bright, restless eye that scanned the woods constantly, as if in search of an enemy, nnd the other a small, mild mannered man, whose general appearance betokened the preacher. These two were riding in front; talking earnestly of the convention which bad Just boon held at San Felipe do Austin and of the possibility that Texas might one day become an Independent state. Suddenly-somo ono in the party behind them started a song with a memorable chorus- When other states reject us, This is the ono that always takes us. From that jingling rhyme some derive the name "Texas." Certain it is that this great new land took In and sheltered many a fugitive "who left his country for his country's good." That prince of pirates Lafltte had sailed away from Galveston ten years before, and his thousand freebooters were scattered to the four wiuds, but crowds of adventurers from all uarts of the world were pouring in, with many of the better class, to swell the tide of Texas immigration. The little band jogged on and finally reached the municipality of San Aagus- tiue, then a mere collection of rude log huts, with one or two adobe structures built by Spanish missionaries. Here the preacher posted a notice that the Rev. I-Ieury, Stephenson of the Methodist denomination would hold a meeting in the evening. At the hour ruined the house was crowded to overflowing with rough, desperate men, all armed ami ready for any fun or fray that might arise on such a novel occasion. The minister gave out a hymn, aud it was sung with spirit. Then came the text, but not another word would the crowd hear. They hooted aud yelled, shot off their pistols, crowed and brayed iu derision. The tumult was deafening. Tbe quiet little preacher stood his ground bravely, though in his heart wishing he were well out of it With difficulty his traveling companion forced his way ,to the front, still carrying his rifle aud a huge knife In his belt. The wild cheer that broke from the crowd sounded in'the ears of the preacher, nowj' thoroughly alarmed, like the howls of a pack of wolves orjthe yells of Indians hungry for scalps. "But in- steaif of jumping upon him this strange man. with restless eyes flashing and long black hair streaming over his shoulders, jumped on a bench and, throwing his hat to the ground, shouted In a stentorian voice: "Men, this man has come to preach to you! You need preachiug to, and I'll be blanked If he shan't preach to you! The next man who disturbs him shall fight" me! My name Is Jim Bowie!" The effect was magical. With quiet, respectful attention the rough audience listened to the sermon, joined heartily in the closing hymn, and not a few persons came up to shake hands with the little man and apologize for the rough reception they had given him. A month later at the first camp meeting ever held in Texas some of them became members of the church, and in 183S the cornerstone of the first Protestant bouse of worship in the republic was laid in San Augustine. The man whose timely aid proved so effective was Colonel James Bowie, and the knife In his belt was the noted "bowie knife," given to him by his brother, Rezln P. Bowie. It was made of a large file, strong, of admirable temper and gave its name to a family of terrible weapons not yet extinct Crockett met Bowie for the first time In tho Alamo, and he writes in his journal: "While we were conversing Colonel Bowie had occasion to draw his famous knife, and I wish I may be shot if the bare sight of it wasn't enough to give a man of a squeamish stomach the colic. He saw I was admiring It and said he, 'Colonel, you might tickle a fellow's ribs a long time with this before you'd make him laugh.'" Brave, generous, determined and enterprising, Jnrnes Bowie sought adventure for its hazards, and he was naturally among the first to take up arms for Texas Independence. Three more desperate men were never brought together than Travis, Crockett and Bowie as they took their last stand within the walls of thc Alamo. Sick and helpless In bed on that last terrible day, Jim Bowie died fighting. As a Mexican ran forward to kill hlra he roused himself by a supreme effort, caught his assailant by the hair, plunged the fatal knife Into his heart and fell back dead. When the story of his death was told to his mother In Louisiana, she said, "I am' sure Jim never died with n wound In his back," and, with a quiet jsmlle, turned again to her household iluties.���������Exchange.

An innovation in violin making that Is attracting considerable attention haa been brought about through the ingenuity of Lester L. Sargent of Washington, who has contrived, a simple but distinctly useful "G string prop" to enable the violinist to play simultaneously on three strings of his instrument, whereas heretofore it has been possible for.hlm to play sustained "chords of two notes only at a time. Thus the dominion of the "king of instruments" will be extended Into the realm of harmony as well as of melody. The new device itself Is a small wedge shaped piece of bridge wood inserted on the violin bridge under the G string. Its dimensions, while dependent to some extent on the height of the bridge on tho particular violin on which it Is to be used and the character of: the music to be played, are ordinarily as follows: Thickness, threw sixty-fourths of an Inch; length, five- eighths of on Inch; width, three-sixteenths of an inch or slightly less. The hypotenuse of the prop Is curved to fit smoothly on tho bridge of the violin, and a notch for the G string Is also made. To erect the derice on the violin Is an easy mntter. It being only necessary to turn down the G string about a tone, to Insert the prop underneath and then to turn up the string with care. In effect It becomes a component part of the bridge itself, but it can always be easily removed. ' '. ���������', This "method of elevating tho G Just enough to be sounded simultaneously with the D nnd A strings takes away tho mechnnlcal obstacle <hat Ole Bull managed to overcome by mcn'ns of n flat bridge and his remarkable tours de force, but which no other violinist has fltfbmpted to cope with. That this method of playing Is entirely novel is evidenced by the fact that nil works on orchestration have stated that sustained chords on the violin are restricted to two notes and that throe and four voiced chords must be ployed as arpeggios. But n now and beautiful effect is now placed at the command of the violinist, although It Is true that there are few compositions in which use hns been made of the-pos- slbllllles of writing beautiful chords on the throe lower strings of the violin. Do Berlot has a notable passage in his Fifth Concerto, but It remains chiefly for futuro composers of music for tho violin to cnlargo the present excellent repertory of tho violin with compositions containing violin harmony.���������New Orleans Times-Democrat Dreams Indeed $ "Why don't we see men like tho novelists describe?"

T The Mystery of This Wonderful Fores In Nature. When plants are.grown In receptacles fastened to the rim of a rapidly revolving wheel, the shoots and leaves grow toward the center and the roots away from the center of revolution. This is remarkable as showing the influence of centrifugal motion upon growth. But the earth, any point in whoso surface at the equator passes through fifteen miles in one minute, has a centrifugal motion so swift and so great that it is almost inconceivable. Why, then, reasoning on the basis of this wheel experiment, do not trees and plants grow in the directions'they are urged by this centrifugal force���������namely, with leaves nnd boughs toward tho earth's center aud roots pointing to tho sky? The answer Is because there Is a force called gravitation which overpowers the enormous centrifugal force nnd practically reverses it. Whether this..overmastering force which we call gravitation Is electrical or what It Is no one has yet been able to discover. Thcie 'can be no doubt that It Is the greatest force we know of. To unveil the mystery of it woulu be to become masters of a power wuoso possibilities dazzle the human mintL It would simplify tho problem of building, water and air navigation, projec- tllcs'nnd many other branches of mechanics. It would revolutionize present methods. ��������� V Electric Light Bulbs. It has been remarked that the effca- tlvojife of Incandescent electric lamps Is much longer with clear than with ground glass bulbs. B. P.

Woman Traveler In Far North Sees Thrilling Encounter. . . With four ravenous timber wolves battling fiercely with a black bear in the wilds along the upper Peace' river, Countess Mehrenc de St. Pierre of '8t.- Brieuc. Brittany, France, lay concealed behind a .windfall less than 20 feet away and watched the struggle for nearly a quarter of an hour. Thia occurred several weeks ago while the titled woman from across the' Atlantic was making a trip through the unexplored region north of Edmonton, with only Indian guides for her companions. Countess de 'St. Pierre, in speaking of the struggle, said: "For a, time the honors were about even, and so intent were the partici British Journalist Talks of Canadian Advertising Genius. All Canada is convinced, he writes, ,that if a man is to get on in the . world he must advertise. If a Canadian warehouseman has anything to sell he soon lets you know about ,it, and it is a common belief in Canada that the business that doesn't know how to advertise might as well put' up the shutters. The advertising genius is a product of the country. He spreads himself over the daily papers, he disfigures the prairie with hideous boards, and in the city he turns night into day by his illuminated signs.

In discussing nature faking, Countess de St. Pierre said: "I doubt if a timber wolf could ever kill an elk or a moose, although such claims have been made by writers.

Here I must explain that a Canadian Board of Trade is something quite different from our own Board of Trade. The Canadian Board of. Trade is built pretty much on the lines of the British Chnmbprs of Commerce; but with this difference, that the Canadian Board of Trade, is -an active body- so active, indeed, that the visitor to anv Canadian', town or citv is lucky indeed if he can keep out of the way of its officials. These Boards of Trade (Publicity Bureaux would be a better name) exist for exploiting the town, and they pb_ their work thoroughly. Nothing is too much trouble for the president and-his secretary."

The other day a remarkable-, old man, one of the early pioneers of the interior of British Columbia," made his way from the Cariboo gold district to the town of Ashcroft, and boarded a train for the east. It was ths first railway train he had ever seen, the electric lights, too, and all the other sights of modern civilization were entirely new to him. In 1852 this man,. James Siven- wnght by name, then twenty-one years of age, left his home in Scotland and sailed for America.- He landed in New York, where for several years he worked as a mechanic. He soon tired, however, of the tedious routine and decided to strike out -for the west. In 1859 he .crossed the Isthmus of Panama and up the coast ti San Francisco, which was then a trading post., California did not appeal to him, and he embarked on a vessel for Victoria, arriving there in the month of September. He wintered there and that season engaged in hunting on the Mainland and the Island, some' being done on the very ground where now stands Vancouver. In February, with a party of miners hu followed the Fraser i River up to Lytton, and for two years engaged in mining" between that place and Lillooet. He then went to Cariboo, and for forty-five years followed mining in that section with varied success. Such was the lure of the country of mines and big game, that Siven- wnght lived for nearly fifty years there, without venturing into the world of men and changing life that is constantly pushing back the old frontiers. It was not from dullness of mind, but clearly from choice,' that he kept to the interior, for to a newspaper reporter he said: "I had read and seen pictures of railway trains, and It knew what to expect when I came here. Although my sight was not educated to modern times, I kept my mind in training THAT COFFEE DRINKING IS DECiDEDLY 8N������ JURBOUS TO THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, WHILE IS REFRESHING AND HEALTHFUL? . i > UM PACKETS ONLY B'Z?������'A5tf��������� ��������������� AIAU6R0CEBS .,!- A Fine New Year's Gift .

According to the annual report of the Registrar-General, the birth rate for Ontario in 1905 was 23.5, compared with 22.8 in 1904, while the marriage rate was 9.2, or 0.3 more than the previous year. Of the latter Essex County continued to contribute an undue proportion of these, showing 93 over York County. This is the result of the large number of American couples coming over to be wedded. Dr. Hodgetts advises the amendment of the law, making it necessary that one of the contracting parties should have resided fifteen days in the province before the ceremony is performed. "In this manner the system of hasty marriages, to call it 'by a'simple name, would be materially improved. Certainlv at present," says Dr. Hodgetts, "it is a blot on the good name of the province and a stigma to those trafficking therein." The death rate remains practically unaltered at 14.2, there having been only 81 more deaths in the province during 1905, as compared with the previous year. Of the population 23.3 per cent., is in the towns and cities. The illegitimate birth rate was 1.34 per one hundred births, as against 1.58 in 1904.

"The only danger to Canadian interests," says Mr. Eaton, "is that the papers keep talking about 'hard times,' 'money stringency,' and other such nonsense, and if they do not stop they may bring on a crisis like the man who, by imagining he was sick, after a while had his dreams come true, simply because he thought long enough about it. Toronto and Winnipeg, and all the rest of them have no cause to be anything but happy" if they will only try to.see how well off they are rather than how poorly off." The Winnipeg Tribune supports Mr. Eaton's contention. "There really ought to be no reason," says that paper, "for any financial stringency in this western country. To "be sure the climatic conditions did not contribute to the pro-- duction of as fine a crop as has been the average for the last twenty-five years, ,but the cereal product in the aggregate was immense, and with tlie prices so high every sane man must see that the amount of money coming into the country ought to be quite as large this year as prevailed the last few years, and with the outlook as satisfactory as this, there should be good times in the west.

Thc Governor-General, Lord Grey, speaking recently before the inaugural luncheon of thc Women's Canadian Club, Montreal, at which Lady Drum- mond presided, highly recommended the work done by the men's Canadian Clubs throughout the Dominion. Co-operative union was necessary for thc attainment of national betterment, and Canadian Clubs made for national, not party good. He hoped the example would soon be taken up in other cities. No two people, Lord Grey said, were more in need of each other than the French nnd English.
