When the Grand Trunk Railway ran a line across a swamp in a game preserve in the Alberta Rockies there was a fine beaver dam holding the water back to flood tho swamp. The game warden ordered the engineers to disturb tho beavers as little as possible. They could have blown out the dam with dynamite and killed most of the little animals but that would have been cruel. So they cut an opening in the dam. The mud of the dam was almost as hard as concrete and ifc took the men three days to get the water to running out properly. Then they started work on the railroad through the swamp. Soon the water began to rise and the work, was stopped by the water in a few hours. The engineers went down to the beaver dam and found the animals had repaired the cut aud made it tight, A now cut was made, but when the men were gone tho beavers wore busy and the damage repaired. Work on the railroad was stopped in a fow hours. Then a hole was made in the earth deop nndor tho dam. That puzzled tho beavors. They had never soen water go down into tho ground and come up far away. But thoy studied tho problem and the work on tho railroad was soon stopped by water and half the tools wero covered. Then followed a contest of cunning between tho men and tho beavers. But ovory time- tho men oponed a way for tho water to run tho boavors found out how to stop it. The road was finally built by working a fow hours at a time, and tho loss to tho contractors was about 85000. Tho beavers lost thoir time. Molson wants a church.

Haddon Chambers comes to the Opera House, Greenwood, on June 4th. "Passers by", is a fascinating mixture of droll humor and appealing sentiment. Ifc is a fantastic conceit and it is full of human touches aud is sincere in its appeal. A wealthy | London bachelor engaged to a frivilous girl, returns to his rooms and finds ^his valet entertaining a cabman. He is furious at first, then curious and when the servant admits he is interested in the people who pass by the house, the bachelor falls to thinking seriously and has the cabman called back and a serious of amusing scenes take place. Thore aro tears aud laughter iu "Passers- By" enough for all. Mr. C. Haddon Chambers whatever else ho may be is not a preacher, nor a political economist, perhaps not a philosopher. But ho has mado an attractive, if a little to sugary and sentimental play. Sugar and sontimontity, touched with melodramatic plums, aro much in demand theso days and so Mr. Chambers comos to a promising market. Vacuum cleaners have been constructed for tho cleaning of boiler flues. Manitoba has prohibited tho sale of offensive weapons except under certain conditions.

You can live six daya "without water, forty days without food, and a 100 years without booze; but only four minutes withontair. Get all the fresh air that you can hold. It is cheap and loaves no headaches. With pure water and proper drainage there will be no epidemics of typhoid. You have to eat or drink the live germ in order to get sick. When thoruoghly boiled or roasted the germs are harmless. Some are immune from typhoid. They receive and discharge the germ in its virulent form without becoming ill. Others it makes partially ill, and these are called walking cases. The typical cases are these who cannot resist the typhoid poison and become very ill. The mortality amongst those who become real ill is from ten to thirty per cent. In the United States 25,000 people die annually from this disease. It is almost impossible for typhoid to injure any- ono who is in a normal condition, mentally and physically. It is bad for a man when ho cannot be sober, or when he will not study, nor work, nor pray, nor think, nor weep, all when occasion requires; bnb the worst for a man is when he can no more play the fool a little. The esconce of sanity is the power to bo insane at moments; tho essence of reason is the ability to act delightfully irrational now and then; and the essence of being genuinely moral and religious when there is need is the art of being paganly non-moral when there is no cull to be otherwise. Perhaps our wisest, most inspired moments are those of our folly. The jester, at the king's court, was the nearest of all to being a philosopher and a prophet. It is when we let tho soul go, to work its wayward will, and wing its random way, in laughter and recklessness, that we discover ourselves, our real nature appears, and the hidden instincts that move the springs of life come out, like fairies that have been invisible by day and appear at midnight moonlight to dance in the forest green. To play the fool is dangerous. That is because it is so important. The wisest man is the one who knows when and how to be unwise.���������Dr. Frank Crane. get woman can improve herself serious treatment.. But to good resulbH time, is required. One, cannot become lovely in a day, week or month. It requires months of persistent and faithful adherence to a regime of dief; and exercise, combined with a discipline of one's own nature. A lit, of bad temper lias the. power to put lines in the face that require, months to remove. Regular features are not absolutely required for beauty. Expression and complexion are more, important and these two qualities can bo obtained at home. Hesitate to pub yourself in the hands of a beauty doctor until you have tried the family physician and physical instructor. Remember: There aro no limitations in mind. Anything can be accomplished if the mind is put to work upon it.���������Lillian Russell. DOWN SAN POIL One's Good Look Thinking Themes You aro never going to grasp modern poetry, particularly French poetry, until you give up tho purpose of seeking any sense in it. It is purely decorative, like wallpaper.' It haB but two dimensions, length and breadth. It has no thickness, that is to say it is devoid of ideas. Ideas seem to bo ont of date. They are crude. What we want apparently is moods, impressions, Bhades of feeling. To be definite, clear and understandable is a sign of mediocrity. Some time ago the poets of Paris The girl who relies solely upon her good looks will find sho has little power of endurance; if she has not brainB to accompany her beauty, then tho boauty will be of short duration. When a girl is beautiful in nine cases out of ten sho will realize the fact, and if by groat fortune sho is endowed with brains to match then hor beauty is of great benefit to herself and the world; she is a type, a model, and needs no parades to prove it. It ib astounding to know the number of women who take their lives in their hands, or rather, put their lives in tho hands of quack beauty doctors. Tho damage, and even death, caused by this class of praotionerH, is beyond comprehension. * The world hears little of tho results of this mode of beautifying, for those who aro only damaged are ho ashamed of themselves for having given in to thoir weakness that they keep silent about it. It is only when death occurs The Spokane, & British Columbia railway company have begun their final survey for the establishment of a right-of-way from Republic south, across the Colville Indian reservation and into Spokane. A surveying crew of fifteen men under the direction of E. S. Clark of Walla Walla arrived here Monday and on Tuesday left for West Fork where they will establish camp. The crew will be divided there, one party working toward Republic and the other toward the Columbia river. When soon yesterday, W. T. Beck, president of tho S. & B.C., declined to give any statement as to when active construction work would begin on the line. Ue estimated that the time required to complete this survey would bo about three months. ���������Republic News-Miner. Empire Day is always celebrated throughout the. British Empire and on that day Midway went into the holiday spirit in holiday style, in which Greenwood, Phoenix, Rock Creek, Grand Forkh and other points did much with their large contingents to make the festivities particularly pleasing. Upon tho arrival of tho special train tho excursionists, comprising live baseball teams, band, foot racers, bicycle racers and hundreds of others bent on spending an enjoyable day, wore met ab the station by the committee when a grand parade of decorated automobiles and boy scouts led the way to tho grounds where Mr. Jackson, M.P.P. gave an address nf welcoino and chairman W.

The. streets and business places of Midway wero gaily decorated and everyone, worked in a spirit of hearty co-operation, The baseball games attracted the, attention of hundreds of spectators in which Republic won tho $100 prize from Grand Forks by a score of 7-G. The games wore all closely contested, very few errors being made and many double plays arousing great enthusiasm. For those who incline moro to tho frivolous the dancing pavilion was kept busy where tlio Grand Forks band played two-steps and waltz's to tho dancers contont.

"Back of this controversy which we hear suggested between the state and the nation you will find the interest of the predatory corporation, that is as much an enemy to tho people of the state as to the people of the nation." Colonel Bryan was speaking particularly of water-power and the national forests. Upon no other topic could his remarks have been moro cogent. Tho national forest policy is opon to criticism because ib fails to market tho ripe timber rapidly enough; but the policy should bo amondod���������not abandoned. Probably an attempt will be mado to dismember the national forests and turn thorn over to the various states within whoso borders they happen to bo situated. No -greater menace to genuine conservation of national resources has arisen in rocontyears. Private interests that want tho timber aud watorpower for thoir own profit would like to soo the attempt succeed. A good many honest Democrats will further it ont of foolish loyalty to tho traditional but outworn and disastrous staterights tenet of thoir party. ALGOMA HOTEL Deadwood, B. C.

After long experimenting and study Professor Gottlieb Haberlandt of the Botanic institute of Gratz, in Styria, declares that plants, tbe word,taken in its widest sense and including trees, can see. The professor says that he has succeeded through photography and the use of the microscope in reproducing the images reflected on the visual organs of plants. The images included objects at different distances and-even persons and houses. Plants may, he Bays, be classed with the inferior animals in this respect. His observations have been confirmed by Dr. Nuttall and Dr. Harold Wagner. We are still so ignorant of animal, plant and insect life (because we do not understand their language) that we fancy the plant, like the Insect, is not conscious of what it sees, but that is probably a discovery for the future. At present we are forced to accept the theory that they are not conscious. But that thpy do see Professor Haberlandt says he has satisfactorily proved. He has found tlie same minute eye such as belongs to bees and other insects in sycamore leaves, in the sugar maple aud in the Peruvian acanthus. The eyes of plants appear different from the eyes of Insects In that they havo no coloring mutter, though this is not yet determined. The professor is continuing his experiments, and ho expects to make further interesting and surprising announcements. He says that the fact tlmt plants aud trees havo eyes is undoubtedly a proof that all natural life is linked in one long chain.���������Chicago Tribune.

A daring scheme is proposed in Russia for altering the flow of waters on so vast a scale that even meteorological and climatic conditions may be Improved. Agricultural interests in the eastern and southern provinces suffer severely from the frequent droughts, which are ascribed partly to extensive deforestation aud partly to the progressive drying up of western Asia. Tho idea has been conceived of diverting the flow of certain Siberian rivers from the north to the south so that their waters would eventually find their way into those great inland seas, the Ural and the Caspian. As the surface of these would be thereby doubled or even quadrupled, there would be a great increase in the atmospheric moisture and consequent precipitation of the surrounding country, as well as larger available supplies for irrigation where desirable. This diversion of flow is to be accomplished by building darns across the Obi and Tobol rivers at points whore their banks are exceptionally high. When the water, would reach the top of the .banks it would stand at a far higher level than the Caspian, and considerably above the Ural. It ���������would then only be necessary to cut a short canal through the divide which separates the northern flowing from the southern flowing rivers of western Asia to direct (he fructifying waters of these mighty streams toward the two great lakes Instead of allowing them to be lost in the Arctic ocean.

Devlin, a galena expert from the Kootenay district, are in Edmonton outfitting for a trip to Fort Rcso- lution, on the south shore of Great Slave Lake, where they will explore for silver and^lead during the summer. Fort Resolution is S00 miles miles north of Edmonton and well within the artic circle. Reports of enormous deposits of silver-lead in the vicinity of Fort Resolution, a post for the Hudson Bay company and other fur traders, have drifted into Edmonton at various times during the last few years, but until this time the new field did not attract the attention of experienced operators. Samples of ore taken to Edmonton and assayed at several laboratories, including The mining industry in British Columbia is bound to benefit very largely by the impending changes in the United States tariff. Tlie democratic tariff bill proposes to place iron ore, steel rails and rails, coal and coke, sulphur and sulphuric acid on the free list. As far as the Portland Canal district is concerned the most important change is the reduction of 1 cent per Ib. on the duty upon lead bearing ore, that is, in place of the heavy duty of one and a half cents per pound, the import duty will be only oue half cent. The advantage to the mines of this district is obvious; an ore carrying say 20 per cent lead, will be benefited to the extent of S4 per ton. The tariff on antimony is reduced from one cent per lb. to 10 per cent ad valorem, while lead bullion is reduced from 2 1-8 cents per pound to an ad valorem tax of 25 per cent. Zinc oxide is also reduced from one cent per lb. 10 per cent, but the tariff on zinc ores remains unchanged. The above changes should induce American capital to invest in British Columbia and Mexican mines.��������� Stewart Miner. to Mr. Wilkie to drive a 200 foot tunnel into the six foot vein, and that work is going on now.

Ask Your Doctor About That Grand Forks chicken men (and women, too) continue to make history for the clan. II. Morrison, in a sympathetic mood, gave his brooder lamp a little hitch a few mornings ago to warm up the chicks and a little later found the brooder, chicks and all going up in smoke; meaning that there is a possibility of getting too much of a good thing. Mrs. J. L. Mauley, form erly a turkey fancier in Chesaw and now living in the Forks, also has contributed to the unusual since her departure from here. She has a gobbler which lias been ostracized by his flock mates and all shun his proud society. He forthwith took up his residence in the front yard with better associates in tbe person of three hens with broods of chicks. He eventually weaned tbe chicks away from their mothers and is now master of the situation. Mrs. Manley now has to contend with the Doukhobor women who insist on buying a "churk." Mr. Mills, of the smelter town, also has a big Wyandotte cock bird which seems imbued with the same inclinations and is "mothering" a large brood of chicks.���������Chesaw iVews.

This is a reform upon which effort should be strongly concentrated. The Cost of Typhoid. It is hard to state human lives in terms nf dollars and cents, but probably Dr. McLaughlin did not exaggerate in telling the Association of Life Insurance Presidents in New York recently that typhoid is costing the United States 8100,- 000,000 a year, incidentally it kills 25,000 people, or as many as a considerable war, and to life insurance men that is, not all merely sentimental argument. That the greater part of this loss is avoidable appears from the fact that in 50 of our largest cities the death rate per* 100,000 from typhoid is 25, while in '���������}') of the principal cities of Northern Europe it,is but fl 1-2 per cent. That means that some IS,- 000 of tho 25,000 who die oVory Tliere is nothing more tantalizing than to go home all primed to scold about something, and lind company thore and be obliged to act agreeably.

A MESSAGE TO WOMEN Ncwspapcm will not bo palil for thin adver- year from typhoid fever in thoj&TCitt Who are "Just Ready to Drop, When you aro "just ready to drop," when you feel so weak that you can hardly drag yourself about���������and because you havo not slept well, you get u*) us tired-out next morning as when you went to bed, then you need hell* right away. Miss Lea Dumas -writes from Ma- lono, N. Y., saying: "I was In a badly run-down condition for several weeks, but two bottles of Vinol put me on my feet again and made me strong and well. Vinol has done me more good than all the other medicine I ever took." If the careworn, haggard men and women, the pale, sickly children and feeble old folks around here would follow Miss Dumas' example, they, too, would soon be able to say that Vinol, our delicious cod liver and Iron remedy, had built them up and made them strong. It is a wonderfully strengthening and Invigorating body-builder, and we soil It under an Ironclad guaranteo of satisfaction. You get your money back If Vinol does not help you. jj.
