A blue mark here indicates that your Subscription has become deceased, and that the editor would once more like to commune with your collateral. THE LUCERNE at In his recent great speech Victoria Premier McBride said: \"I want to congratulate my old friend and associate, the member for Kaslo (Mr. McKay) ou this splendid accomplishment. Kaslo has for all of us an attraction all its own. I have heard my friend from Kaslo describe tho principle town of the district as the Lucerne of British Columbia., Without any question, as you see the beautiful little town nestling at the foot of the lake with such wonderful surroundings, that marvelous stretch of water in front, and with a background of picturesque .mountain tops, and ' stretch on stretch of wonderful bench lands, surely here is tho setting for a com- Jjjjmunity easily to be entitled to the name, the Lucerne of British Columbia.\" Thus we see that anything good is liable to be stolen or imitated. I electric light business, and also tend to nip the claws of the Standard Oil Co. Never before in its history has this province had so many would- be Tory candidates. They are springing up everywhere like mushrooms in the dark, which | proves that nothing succeeds like success. Ix the early days Noah must have beeu a great poker player. Although he was on the water wagon for a long time he could always reach under the table, and got any kind of a pair he wanted. If your business will not bear advertising, it is not worth keeping, and the sooner you close it up the better for yourself and the community. Ouit friend Bertram remarks that some_ day abdication will take place, and the Austrian flag fly over Anaconda. It i.s nearly 20 years ago since we christened New Denver the Lucerne, owing to the fact that it strongly resembles a town on lake Lucerne in Switzerland. Since we departed from the Slocan that beauty spot, New Denver, has had no one to defend its claim to that title, and the poetical people of Kaslo havo picked it up, along with government pap, and anything else they could annex with safety. Both towns need no paint, and they might easily be called the Twin Lucernes. They are beauty spots, restful to the eye and soothing to the nerves. Just the kind of towns that should produce great poets, artists, and painters. They are full of food for the imagination, and that, with some bacon and beans on the side makes a fine diet for those whose sonls are deeply laden with thoughts that should be woven into poetry or pictures. We moved out of the Slocan when the beans and bacon faded out of the formation having learned by experience that man cannot live alone upon ozone and scenic effects. We are now in a second Butte where tenderloin steaks stare you in tho face at every turn, and champagne corks fly at the moon; but once in awhile we long for tho grandly magnificent scenes of the silvery Slocan, for like that chap in Ireland, ������������������with all thy faults we love you still.\" At tho provincial elections this month there will be two Socialists, three Liberals and 37 Conservatives elected. One spring, robin does not make a nor ono swallow paint a town red. Up to the 28th of this month booze will practically be on the free list. Feak, custom and superstition aro difficult to eradicate. We Btill kiss tho book when taking an oath in court. Perhaps more men would tell the truth if they had to kiss a pretty women, instead of tbe Bible. Try it. - .In three thousand years from now the days will be a year long. It is thought that this will seriously affect the stock of companies in the' cease to believe there is any good- - Thinking Themes Doing clears the mind. Physical activity has a peculiar luminous effect upon the judgement. The soundest views of life comes not from the pulpit or the professional chair but from the workshop. To saw a plank or nail down a shingle, to lay a stone square or paint a house evenly, to run a locomotive or raise a good crop of corn, reacts upon the intelligence, reaching the very inward essential cell of wisdom; provided always the worker is brave, not afraid of his own conclusions, and does uot hand his thinking over to some guesser with a largo blaff. Doing makes religion. All tho religion that is of any account is what we thresh out with our own hands, suffer out with our own visions. Doing creates faith. Doubt comes from Sundays, and other idle hours. The only people who believe the ten commandments are those who do them. Those who believe the world is growing better | are they that are trying to make it grow better. Doing brings joy. The sweetest of joys is the joy of accomplishment. Make love and you will feel Jove. Quit making love and you will doubt Jove. Be kind, steadily and persistently, and you. will believe in kindness. Be unclean and you will soon sueer at anybody's claim to virtue. Bo mean and you will Jackson's Speech Mr. Jackson continuing the debate, remarked that little had been heard in the past as to tho horticultural and agricultural possibilities of the district which he has the honor to- represent. This might be accounted for by renson of the Kettle Eiver Valley railway to tho Coast, however, the Greenwood district would be brought into direct contact with both tho east and the west, thus insuring f through travel which must of necessity exert a direct and beneficial influence on settlement and development. \\ \"I can assure you, Mr. Speaker,\" he pursued, \"that notwithstanding the difficulties under which we havo labored, development has taken place with us, aud we have in our district a large area planted in fruit, and at no distant date we hope and expect to rival tho famous Creston Valley, so much spoken of by my - friend the member for Ymir. \"I congratulate the premier and the government upon their success in securing for the people of the Interior something that has long been required, in the construction of a road giving direct connection with the coast'. . In this connection I wish also to thank the first minister for his assurances last evening in reference to the liquidation of unpaid claims against the old Midway & Vernon line. \"While conditions in mining have not been of the best during recent months, by reason of the late troubies iu the coal fields, yet it is with pride that T am able to say that the mines and smelters in the district I represent continued to operate, despite their difficulties and I anticipate that with the conditions at present prevailing in the coal fields, we may look with confidence for an early revival of the mining industry.\" Mr. Jackson closed with graceful compliments to the finance minister upon his excellent budget speech and to the minister of works upon the generous manner in which he had treated the constituency of Greenwood. The Creed of the Future In courts of law the phrase, \"I believe,\" has no standing. Never a witness gives testimony but that he is cautioned thus, \"Tell us what you know, not what you believe.\" The trouble with theology is that \"belief\" has always been considered of greater importance than knowledge, and this in spite of the fact that, almost without exception, \"belief\" is a legacy, an importation, something borrowed, an echo ���������yes, often an echo of an echo. Tho Creed of the Future will bo- gin, \"I know,\" not, \"I believe.\" And this creed will uot be forced upon people. It will carry with it no coercion, no blackmail, no promise of an eternal life of idleness and case if you accept it, and no threat of Hell if you don't. It will have no paid, professional priesthood, claiming honors, rebates and exemptions, nor will it hold estates free from taxation. It will not organize itself into a system, marry itself to the State, and call on the police for support.- It- will be reasonable, so in the line of self preservation that no sane man or woman will reject it, and when we really begin to live it, we will cease to talk about it. As a suggestion and first rough draft of tho Creed of the Future, I submit this. I KNOW: that I am here. In a world where nothing is permanent but change; And that in degree I, myself, can change the form of things. And iufluence a few people; And that I am influenced by these and other people;' That I,am influenced by the example and by the work of men who no longer are alive, And' that\" the work I now do will in degree influence people who may live after my life has changed into other forms; That a certain attitude of mind and habit of action on my part will add to the peace, happiness and well-being of other people, . And that a different thought an action on my part will bring pain and discord to others; That if I would secure reasonable happiness for myself, 1 must give out good-will to others; That to better my own condition I must practise co-operation and mutality; That bodily health is necessary to continued and effective work; That I am largely ruled by habit; That habit is a form of exercise; That up to a certain point, exercise means increased strength or ease in effort; That all life is an expression of spirit; That my spirit influences my body,\" And my body influences my spirit; That the universe to me is very beautiful, and everything and everybody in it good and beautiful, when mybody and my spirit are in harmonious mood; That my thoughts are hopeful and helpful unless I am filled with fear, And that to eliminate fear, my life must be dedicated to useful work���������work in which I forget myself. That fresh air in abundance, and moderate, systematic exercise in the open air, are the part of wisdom ; That I can't afford, for my own sake, to be resentful nor quick to take offense: That happiness is a great power for good, And that happiness is not possible without moderation and equanimity; That time turns all discords into harmony if men will but be kind and patient, And that the reward which life holds out for work is not idleness, rest, rust and ease, bnt increased capacity for work. Greater Difficul ties, More Work; And that wisdom consists in al ternating work with play���������changing my work so that all work will be pleasurable.���������Hubbard not, have what you claim, and know it. If you have, however, how much better it would be for your friends and associates, if you would get busy, even, though you do not make more than good wages. With development your mine, your prospects might -develop into a bonanza. . .��������� ' If yon have a mine injwhich you have exposed quite a tonnage of low grade milling ore, ore that will plate 820 or $30, why don't you put in a two or three stamp mill and take out this gold? ��������� If you could make only $5 or $10 a day, it would be better than to spend your time in town, squandering what little money you have, aud bewailing hard times.- Get busy; you can get some one to help you if you have the real stuff, if you really have what you claim. The great trouble is that small mine-owners have big ideas. They want to form a big company on a small mine. They want a 10-stamp mill on a property which, just at present cannot output more than five or ten tons of .ore a day; and so they let the time drag on when, if fully alive to their opportunities, they could soon place themselves in comfortable circumstances. Even a tenderfoot, if given the chance, would jump at opportunity to begin shipments from tho silver-lead mine you have so long ignored; and the \"hay- shoveler,\" so long abused and maligned, would not fail to take advantage of the foot or so of good milling gold ore if coming to his notice.

Why Not Get Busy If you have a mine or prospect in which a foot or two of payable ore is exposed, ore that will return a profit after paying mining, transportation and smelter charges and costs; why don't you ship? Yon say you would like to, but that you lack the means to carry on mining operations until returns are received from ore consignments. This may be true, still your credit is good. If you have the ore there is not a merchant in your town or camp but who will \"carry\" you until yon receive your check from the ore-buyer or smelter; and almost any teamster will trust yoq until you have received settlement for your shipments. Isn't it a fact that you are lacking in backbone; or that, if the facts were known, you are not overly fond of work, and prefer hanging around the camp doing nothing when, if yon would get into action you could make a good living from your little mine, that prospect in which, you claim, you havo quite a little tonnage of good shipping ore?

German natural historical perlo-d- leals are calling attention\" to an Interesting 'change .in the habits of wild rabbits, . especially in' the western parts of, Germany. The animals In question are giving up their ancient habit of burrowing, ,and- have commenced In great part' to imitate the hares, which, as Is well known; neat 'only above ground. The hares themselves were once burro wers, and gradually went jthrough the same change ln habits In this particular that appears to characterize 'the rabbits at the present day���������_at any rate In Germany. * In woods .where the undergrowth la thick, -and which are therefore . especially, - suitable to the rabbits, they find hiding places * In plenty for their nests; and even,in open country, unwooded ��������� and the ������rabbl'ts seems to be -taking more and more \"to the open ���������.they take refuge in board-piles,. rubbish-heaps,- brush- piles,- brick-kilns, , drain-pipes, andr ditches ��������� that \"are\" overgrown with weeds. ��������� The female makes little fortresses for her young, to protect, them from \".the* cannibalistic propens-' itles of ,the'male; .she lines the neat warmly, with fur from her own breast, vis-Its them secretly 'at, night, and, perhaps suckles' them once more during the 24 hours; but each time that she leaves .them sho carefully piles rubbish before the opening which leads to .her defenseless family, and defiles the obstructions -'with ordure. ��������� . . , THE MOSLEM AT HOME1 INTERESTING OCEAN FACTS *\" ;-' .

Complete ,Evaporation Would Leave ' nn Immense Deposit of Salt Two ���������r Hundred and Thirty Feet ''\" ��������� Thick. Oceans occupy three-fourths of the earth's surface. At the' depth of 3,500 feet waves are,not,felt. The temperature's th'e same, varying only a trifle from, the\" pole's to the burning sun of the equator. A mile down the water has a pressure of a ton on every square inch. If a box six feet deep .were filled with 'salt water and allowed to evaporate, there would be two inches of salt left on tlie bottom of the box. Taking tlie average depth of the oceans of the world to be three miles, there would be a layer of salt 230 feet thick over the entire bed should - ,the water evaporate. -The water of the ocean is colder at the bottom than'a-i the surface. In many places especially .in the bays^on the coast of Norway, the water freezes at the bottom before It does 'above. Waves .are very deceptive. To look at their? In a storm one would think that* the whole'water travelled. The water stays .in the same place, but tbe motion goes on. Sometimes in storms these waves are forty 'feet high and travel fifty miles per hour ��������� nearly twice as fast as the fleetest steamship. The base'bf.a wave ���������- the distance from valley to valley on either side at the bottom ��������� is generally reckoned at being 15 times the height, therefore an average wave, say one 25 \"feet high, has a base extending over 275, feet. The force of waves breaking on the'shore is said to be 17 toms to the square yard, -r- Be Good Winter Traffic No-better evidence of the increased Western traffic is needed than the statement that this year certain \"rail road services which in former winters have always been dropped, are this 'year toeing retained, and in some ca-ses added to. A leading official states that this year the Canadian Pacific Railway intends to run its St. Paul-Seattle through trains, all winter whereas ln former winters this through service was always dropped. The' sou-roe of the Increased traffio between these two ->c:nts Is attributed* to \"the growing interest in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. For the last five or six years tourists from the United States have been literally pouring Into Canada through C. P. R. connections at St. Paul and Seattle the greater number having the Rocky Mountains and the resorts at Banff Field, Emerald Lake and Glacier, as their destination. Old \" Before1 the ' Christiau Dawn, Tripoli'Hus'Seen'. Many Changos, But Alwnys the Arab ��������� Bemalned. 1 **��������� i *��������� Grown ��������� old * before Christianity began, Tripoli, has seen Norman, Spaniard, and Maltese Knight come and go again,\" il-eaving always the Arab and.the Berber still in possession. ���������* Is -the , old v granary of Carthage to become at..this late date the granary of the old rival Rome? Who knows? For though the Turk may go, there atlll remain the Arab and the Berber, a factor, not to be despised. . j' ~ *��������� , Viewed from-the anchorage In the bay,-a'full half-mileJrom the shore, Tripoli la a delight to the eye. -The white walls of the houses, the slender minarets.'of the mosques, the whole town ln'a setting of palm trees and green olives, in- the foreground the deep-blue \"water of the bay, and a dazzling sunshine -bathing all, the picture is not easily forgotten. Although closer; acquaintance with Tripoli tones down very \"considerably the picture as seen from the sea and introduces one to an assortment of smells that can be neither, localised nor. diagnosed, yet- withal it Is wonderfully attractive. There the Moslem Is at home ��������� the Moslem as devoted to hs religion* as he was in the days of the Crusaders. No Christian dog may enter his Mosque, nor \"Saint's\" tomb, nor stand In a sacred cemetery beside the graves of \"The Faithful.\" Because-It is a'principal portal of the Sahara and the centre of a once very rich caravan trade,' one findB converging here an unparalleled mixture of nationalities. Tall, broad-shouldered, finely-featured Arabs, Berbers,\" 'desert Bedouins, Moors, Turks, full- blooded negroes whose fathers died here In. slavery, all pass and repass in the narrow streets. Tho Jew, too, settled' here since the days of Carthage, has his'ghetto at the western side of the town; an intricate maze of narrow, uhpaved,'dirty, evil- smelllng streets, unlovely by day and unllghted by night. Electrocuted Eggs It is possible that the peculiar tasta of a cold storage egg, which is something not easy to mistake, may be removed if experiments now bolng made by an electrical company are successful. It 1b claimed that when fresh eggs are -placed In cold storage the eggs are alive: that they are slowly frozen to death, and that in spite of the preservation qualities of the ice the eggs do not taste good when cooked. It Is now believed that by electrocuting the eggs the natural fresh* taste may be retained and not removed when the eggs are placed In cold storage. The eggs are \"killed\" by placing a metal cap on each end of the egg and then pasisng through them a current of 600 volts. , On -Taking n Holiday A great many .people lead just as strenuous a life while on their holidays as they-are-accustomed to do during the working-year'with the result, of course, that iney are very Httle better -for -tlie , fortnight's change. They overlook their need for rest ln the desire to -participate In all the amusements and 'distractions * offered to them. The young people are so\" anxious not to lose a moment of the time so wholly their own that they count themselves unfortunate to have a vacant hour in the day's programme. But for the .middle-aged the holiday should not be of this strenuous order if It is to do any lasting good. Excess must be avoided none the less'when the ordinary life is rather sedentary than otherwise. It is a big mistake for a \"man ot woman to think that because he or she generally spends the best part of the day in a chair at a 'desk,- the one precious fortnight ought to find them -perpetually on their feet, or even Indulging in the most violent exercise. Under the*belief that they are getting their muscles into good order.they are putting a severe strain on the heart that has- been long accustomed to very gentle movement only. The best thing for- these people Is to take a couple of-days' entire rest, and then to begin gradually with walking exercise or the like. This moderation will enable -the holiday- maker to enjoy every hour, and to undertake ln the end considerable exertion with real benefit to his whole system. ��������� He Wasn't Encouraging \"Concede nothing,\" was the advice- of a well-known politician concerning a certain famous disputed election. His policy was followed to the letter by the man of whom the following is told:��������� On the .relief train that had been rushed to the scene of the railway wreck was a newspaper reporter. The first victim he saw was a man whose eyes were blackened and whoso left 1 arm was in a sling. With his hair ' full of dirt, one end of his shirt collar flying loose and his coat ripped up the back, the victim was sitting on the grass and serenely contemplating the landscape. \"How many people are hurt?\" asked the reporter, hurrying up to him. \"I haven't heard of anybody being hurt, young man,\" said the other. \"How did this wreck happen?\" \"I haven't heard of any wreck.\" \"You haven't? Who are you, anyhow?\" \"I don't know that it's any of your business, but I'm the -claim agent of the road.\" ARN0TT & IIINE Proprietors Geologic Work of Ants. The immense importance of ��������� ants as geologic agents, especially in tropical regions Is being recognised. Ant burrows have been found at a depth of four yards, and they ramify over vast areas. The geologic work performed by earthworms has long been recognised, but Prof. Brannor believes that the ants and termites of the tropics bring a greater amount of earth to the surface than do tho earthworms of the temperate zones, and are In many ways an equally important factor ln the changes that are going on in tho upper strata of the ground. What's In a \"Name? * There Is a bandit chief In Morocco named G-llulli. He claims as his ancestor an Irishman of the name of Gllhooly, who was caught and enslaved by Arab freebooters some two or 'three hundred years ago. Of course Gilulli is agin the government of Morocco, World's Costliest Who keeps the costliest kitchen in the world ? Not, as one might imagine the American millionaire, but the Shah of Persia. The utensils, fittings, and furnishings of the Shah are said to be worth $2,650,000. Every saucepan is gilded Inside, and the dishes appearing on his table are of solid gold, as well as the spoons, knives; and forks, tlie (handles of which are besides ornamented with precious stones. Moreover, the chof, in proparing dishes for the Shah's table, must use none but silver spoons and forks, and any dish on which he puts cold viands to keep them must be also of silver, gilded inside. Our Sovereign's Long Pedigree There are few people who can boast bo ancient a genealogy as our King and Queen, who trace their descent in unbroken lino from thc Saxon King Egbert, and through him back to the British klngs.who ln turn were reputed lineally descended from the survivors of the fall of Troy. It Is stated that plans are on foot to build a line from GIbHon, N.B., to Mlnto, 33 miles, to provide a connection between the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Lake coal fields, as well as an outlet to tlio West for the coal. LAND OF ItEVOLCTIONS Moro Rebellions Have Taken Place in China than in. any other Country ou Record. There are probably more revolts rebellions and revolutions recorded in the annals, of China than .can be resurrected'from the'histories of all the nations of the west. This is partly because Chinese annal-s of an authentic character go back much further than western annals and partly because the .Chinese, inoffensive and docile though they seem, are predisposed to insurrection. ' The tendency has persisted since the first of the eighteen emperors of the Ilia dynasty mounted his throne away back in the dim mists of antiquity, when the early Pharaohs were building their temples by the Nile'and erecting their pyramids in the desert. The HiV dynasty Issued from 2205 to 17G6 B.C, when it was'overturned by the Shang, or Yin, dynasty, an equally active race,-which ruled until 1122 years before the Christian era. Disaster overtook the' Shang Emperors at last, from a rising of the people under the banners of Chou, although Rome had not been built and the Greeks were still scattered tribes when they gave way to the princes of the Chou line. A protracted period * of unrest followed. In many respects the greatest of aill the Ohinese Emperors, Kubla Khan began his reign in 1257, and held the throne until his death in 1294. In these years the nation was more Illustrious and powerful than ever before. A succession of -Mongol emperors followed Kubla Khan, prln- -cipaily remembered for their sanction of -the Introduction of Christianity. In 1368 the 'Ming dynasty was proclaimed upon the ashes of the political structure built up by the warlike Mongols, and it ruled successfully until the Manchus of thc North, tho fierce; well-built hill Chinese, swept down upon Peking and installed their own .princes in 1651. Ihe*. Manchus have never been numerous, and although they have managed to keep their saddles by dint of cowing the peoples under them, they have been unable to preserve absolute' order and tranquillity. One of the first steps they took to impress their sovereignty upon the country was the publication of .an edict compelling the people to adopt the pig-tail. The Manchus were horsemen, and the pig-tail was prescribed as a national institution because, the Manchus contemptuously said, the Chinese were of the same status as their horses. Rebellion after rebellion marked the troubled -reigns of the Manchu Emperors\", and in most cases the germ of revolt was first in evidence in one or other of the three provinces that are causing trouble to-day. Szhe Chuen, Hu-peh, and Hu-nan have always been centres of discord. Most Remarkable Piano. An artist, Jan van Beers, designed a piano of a\" magnificent nature. The body is of natural wood, the legs and ornaments being of bronze, chiselled and gilded by the most expert artiste in bronze work that could be found in Paris. Set into the front and sides aTO five Van. Beers paintings, depicting the'four seasons and a minuet scene ln the time of Louis Qulnze. Small ivory plaques line the cover. But the most remarkable instrument ln the world la, that known as the \"Napoleon piano.\" It was built ia 1808 by the famous nouse-of Erard to the order of the Emperor. Its keys are of mother-o'-pearl and tortoiseshell, the case Is of rosewood, and there are five pedals, working drum, cymbal and triangle attachments. It was a present given by Napoleon to Josephine, and many years later the Empress Eugenie took great delight ln playing upon it. When the Tulleries were sacked the piano was stolen; It was eventually recovered and put up to auction, when it was bought by a representative of the firm who originally built the instrument. Nervousness in Children Nervousness takes' many forms, and parents should be on the\" look-out for any signs of it in a growing boy or girl. For It usually indicates that- something is wrong ��������� the child's work or play, or companions, or food, or general health. To trace it to its ���������real source sometimes needs both great tact and much firmness on the mother's part, but no trouble must be spared to remove the cause, as excessive nervousness in childhood may, later on, reappear in a very serious form. Scolding Is, of course, the worst possible treatment for nervousness of any kind, though excessive sympathy is almost as bad. The child should be made to understand that his fears and shyness are the results of ill- health, and must be conquered \"by will-power duly accomplished by nourishing diet, plenty of sleep, and pdenty of enjoyed exercise out-of- doors. Playing His Cnrds It was the custom of Mr. Cameron to fall into an easy attitude wherever ho might bo. This habit led .to an occasional dialogue of a spicy nature, and the dialogues 'led to a small square package which Mr. Oamoron presented to his wife one night. \"What in the world are these?\" inquired Mrs. Cameron, as the unwrapping of the package revealed a few cards neatly marked, \"For Use,\" and two or three dozon marked, \"For Show.\" \"Those, my dear,\" said Mr. Cameron, \"are for | you to attach, by the small pin on'tho under side, to the various sofa cushions, chair-backs, and unoccupied wall spaces in this house.

Clifford has sold his gold claims near Kitselas to a company thafc will put a ten stamp mill in operation this summer. Several prospectors will explore the Dease lake country this summer for placer gold. J. A AVhittier is interested in a gold dredge that is working on the Q,uesnel river. He is a pioneer mining man of the Slocan. The old diggings in the Fraser river near Yale are to be worked under modern methods, according to Dr. A. \"\\V. Moseley, who is to construct for the Hills Bar Gold Dredging Company a caisson the plan of the management to pay for the proposed new smelter and other equipment at the Hidden Creek mine with the profits resulting from the operation of its mines at Phoenix and its smelter at Grand Forks, B. 0., and thus to avoid the necessity of any further capital issue. ' 'Of course, it will be greatly to the advantage of the stock holders ultimately if Granby's stock issue can.be kept down to the 150,000 shares now outstanding aud no bond or other indebtedness incurred. After its Hidden Creek smelter is completed and in commission the company should be able to produce at least 45,000,000 pounds of copper annually, as its capacity will then exceed 50,000,- 000 pounds. This will mean an output of 300 pounds of copper a year for each share of its stock; and a profit of ten cents a pound, which should easily be possible on n 14 to 15-cent metal market, would result in net earnings of ������15 a share annually. Three years' operations at this rate would return both principal and interest to the buyer of Granby at its present price aud leave the holder \"on velvet\" with his stock. \"It should be remembered that Granby has been able to pay apr proximately 81, in dividends, equipment and property purchases, for each ton of of ore so far taken from its Phoenix mines; and that it has over 0,000,000 tons remaining there, all blocked out, with an equal tonnage in addition reasonably assured in its Hidden Creek property \"Granby also owns a large interest in the coal mine and coking plant at Crow's Nest Pass, and a 100,000 horsepower waterfall at Kettle Falls, Washington, which together should have a value of $2,000,000. At $3_*a share its entire capital stock has a market value of only 85,100,000.\" member for, Greenwood might rest assured, would leave nothing undone to have all lawful obligations liquidated. B. C.

Walker says: \"Granby would be entitled to sell for double its present price were it not* for the fact that it probably will be two years before the company resumes regular dividend payments. It should earn at least $500,000, and possibly ������700,000, net this'year; but it is it was the intention of the com pany to assume and pay the debts contracted by the Midway & Vernon Kaiiway company and not otherwise provided for? Premier McBride replied that these debts in so far as they affect the present line have been assumed by the present corporation. From the report of the two gentlemen who had been appointed to make special investigation into the matter of Midway & Vernon liabilities, it would seem that there was still a question of some outstanding debts, and it was intended to secure if possible the discharge of any further legitimate outstanding accounts.

Eveu some coyotes have crossed the big divide for lack of food. For some time past herds of black- tailed heer have haunted the suburbs of Greenwood in search of food. To protect their weakened bodies from the coyotes the deer have stood in herds of 15 or 20 around the Bonnie Belle cabins, Floyd's ranch and other places for the past month. Last week Sid Oliver found a two year old doe on its last legs. He carried the doe to his stable and surrounded her with hay, turnips aud other food, but she was too weak to eat it. He then fed her with milk, but the, animal was too far gone and died the next day. Billy Oliver found two dead ones on Jubilee mountain ancl the rest of the herd too weak to run away. Sid Oliver wired the provincial game warden asking that the government supply food. for the animals. The warden wired for further particulars, and in the meantime the deer are being supplied with food at various points around the city. Deer will be scarce for a few seasons unless the shooting of them ia prohibited for a year. ARG������ TUNNEL The high cost of living when you buy groceries at these prices: B FRESH EGGS, 35c a dozen.

JOHN OLIVER HOBBES The Literary Life of Mrs. Craigic. - The brightest, wittiest and keenest of erntemporary writers ia Mrs. Craigic, better known to thc world of letters as John Oliver Hobbes. Her specialty is human nature; she delights to vivisect humanity as a whblo, to put some poor struggling emotion under the microscope of her investigation and study it as Binet would a bacterium. The results of her findings arc delivered ��������� in epigrams, clear, crisp,', cynical at times, but' always clover. ��������� Bho; stimulates thought in her readers; she irritates at times, arouses antagonism, challenges opposition, but she forces attention. The threads of her destiny unite her to tho United States by birth and an-' cestry, to England by adoption andeducation, and to Canada by marriage, being* the daughter-in-law of Ernest Craigio of Montreal. Born in Boston in 1867,- daughtcr of John Morgan Richards, now one of the wealthiest druggists in London, she came from an ancestry of four Puritan divines on one side and a line of Tory politicians on tho other, her great grandfather being a member of the Halifax Parliament long before tho. Declaration of Independence. - , ��������� _ When a child of three she was taken on tho usual tour through Europe, the beginning of her many travelling experiences. At a very early age she showed preliminary symptoms of her appetite for literature in her unsatiatle\" reading of the books of others, and in attempting to add her few drops to the ocean of literature. At nine she received a prize for a story \"Lost, a Dog,\" contributed to Dr. Joseph.Parker's paper \"Tho Fountain,\" but did no serious literary work until; after her marriage. Sho was educated at University College,' London, and took later courses in Rome and Paris, receiving much of her training at the Royal Academy of Music. When only nineteen sho was married to Reginald Walpolo Craigie of the Bank of England, and her brief and unhappy matrimonial experience was terminated. in 1895 by a divorce in which her young son was given into Jicr custody. With him she went to thc beautiful home of her parents, a delightful, solid, old-fashioned mansion at Lancaster Gate, one-of the fine residential sections of London. No house in tho English metropolis gathers within its hospitable wall.-- a.greater number of famous people, the, dinner-parties often consisting of forty, or fifty guests and running the. spectrum of attainment in all phases. In this congenial and inspiring atmosphere Mrs. Craigio has blossomed into fuller power., ��������� ��������� Her, literary output, though in a dozen or moro books ia slight after all in volume, but in individuality, intrinsic value, piquancy and force, :havo given their author world fame. Mrs. Craigio is slight, of a girlish figure and a face eloquent with an inner brightness and intensity, a complexion singularly fair, beautiful dark hair and largo black eyes. . ���������.'uleriiU Kcotillu-r to Jut ittllui Parllaiutnt of Canada, in tlio j������ji 1005, Ly 1V, 0, Mack, at tbtlltpitrim-nitur/gricultura I if; IT ������'!>< '-Wi* :*~fy'rrW"@en, "Published as The Ledge from 1906-05-10 to 1926-07-29; Published as The Greenwood Ledge from 1926-08-05 to 1929-05-23.
