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 production of silver in Ontario for the six months ending June 30 last was $890,217 more than for the corresponding period of 1909, according to statistics which have been prepared by the Provincial Department of Mines. For the. first six- months of this year the production amounted to 12,804,992 ounces, valued at 36,260,197, and for tbe corresponding period of last year the production was 11.234,382 ounces, valued at 85,379,980. The total value of all ore mined was $12,620,781 in six mouths. Shipments from silver mines aggregated 14,784 tons, of which 12,024 tons were-of ore and 2,763 tons concentrates. The ore averaged 844 ounces of silver to the ton, and the concentrates 1,017 ounces. Gowganda contributed 334 ton9 of ore containing 317,925 ounces of silver, and the Lake Superior district a small production, the remainder being from Cobalt proper. -.The nickel-jcopper mines of Sudbury Gu'rnecT out -9,339" "tons- of nickel and 4,634 tons of copper, as compared"with 6,027 tons of the formerand 3,741 tons of copper for the same period last year, an increase of 32 per cent, and 42 per cent, respectively. Expensive Economy. The late Senator Piatt, discussing one day in Washington, an economy he had no faith in, said: "Such an economy reminds me of old Smith and his keg of beer. "Smith and his wife used to drink a quart of beer every night before retiring. This indulgence cost them 10 cents. Bnt Smith came home one day in great excitement and said: " 'Here's a man with a barrel of beer. It will only cost us 4 cents a quart- this way. An economy of 6 cents, Huldah.' "That eveniug the Smiths sampled the new barrel and they found it good. After the pitcher was finished, Mrs. Smith said slowly: " 'George, we've saved 6 cents on our beer tonight.' " 'We have so,' George answered 'and 6 cents saved is 6 cents earned.' " -Well, George,' said his wife, 'shall we have another quart and save 12 cents?" ��������� Los Angeles Times. V= J Passing of the Vet. Death's recent invasion of the G. A. R. ranks gives the publication of the brief abstract of the forthcoming report of the United States commissioner of pensions added interest, showing as it does that during the. fiscal year ending June 30 last, 32,831 pensioned Union soldiers were borne to the grave. In the preceding year the names of 34,333 old soldiers were placed in the death record, and the year previous to that 29,208. During the year a veteran died every fifteen minutes, and the deaths represented five per cent of the total force to check up and correct lists this year. On tho first-day of July thero were a few less than 594,000 soldiers on the pension list. Not many of these are far under seventy years. They cannot last much longer. At last year's rate it would take eighteen years to annihilate this pathetic army, but as the 'boys' grow older the ranks will thin much faster. How many will be left ten years from now ?������������������Exchange. A phychologist came upon a hard-working Irishman toiling, bare-headed, in the street.

V. & E. railway,, was in Princeton the other day and in discussing matters with the press announced .that the reduction |n the force of laborers had been bronght about through instructions from Foley, Welch & Stewart. One hundred men will be- retained on the Princeton end as well as at Abbotpford, though' no new work will be undertaken for tho present. The Princeton board of trade will take the matter up aud urge the company to proceed with con- strtK-fciou as dictated by the federal charter. Western Float The Kettle Valley. By the end of September there will be at least 1,000 men engaged in the construction of the Kettle Valley railway at this end. An announcement to that effect was handed out by the contractors this week. Five camps, four of which are working on construction, are now strung along, between Railway Pass and Merritt and with the commencement of work by the bteaei shovels there will be two or three additional camps. The final locating of the line has retarded work to a large extent but tho engineers .say that this end will be fully completed in the cou rse of a week or so.'' Grading for tbe first thirty miles will have to be finished by March 1. The contracts call for that and barring -an unusually severe winter, thus hampering work, the conditions of the contracts will be met satisfactorily. It will then require an additional two or three months to complete the tracklayihg so that the first thirty miles should be in operation by the middle of the snmmer. The work of rushing construction on the rest of the- line will be proceeded with at once as it is the plan of the company to have the entire line completed within two years.���������Nicola News. Grand Forks Fair. the Revelstoke paper says, Eholt will be the gainer by having Mr. and Mrs. Harris as citizens of that celebrated railway town. Since the high license era set in the hotels have made some improvements. The Windsor has decorated its office with beautiful wall-paper, and the Pacific has laid a new floor. The copper production of the British Columbia Copper Company for July .was 574,172 pounds. This compares with 418,040 ponnds in June, The gold and silver values for the month amounted to $42,348. The net profits were $11,918, ao against $7121 for June. Last Monday, an ore train coming down the hill from, Phoenix began to run away." George Beattie (the fireman who was so badly injured last October on the same line) jumped of! and was cut about the head. He will be in hospital for two or three weeks. The balance of the crew remained on the train and reached Eholt in safety. The suggestion recently made that the scope of the Grand Forks fall-fair-bo-eularged unon.so-as" to einbraceithe' entire -Kettle'-valley} instead of confining it to a display of the products of the city and its immediate environment--, is worthy of serious consideration. The promoters of the enterprize, it is understood, are not averse to adopting this hint, made by citizens of neighboring towns, although owing to l������ck of time and inperfect organization, due mainly to the short time the agricultural association lias been in existence, it may not be possible for them to realize the highest extent of their hopes in this direction at the approaching exhibition. There appears to be no doubt as to the desirability of tne plan. Grand Forks is centrally situated, is easy of access from every point of the compass, and a genera! exhibition here of the products of tho entire valley aud Boundary country would not only benefit this city, but every town and section of the district. There should bo no jealousies among the Boundary towns, and there need be none, because the resources and industries of each differs so much from the others that there is really no competition when it comes to bidding for new settlers. It is merely a question of the newcomer's choice of occupations as to which town he will locate in. Viewing the question in this light, it might be advantageous to all if an understanding could be arrived at whereby each city would bo assigned a day for a big celebration during the year. For instance, Greonwood could celebrate Dominion day; Phoenix, Labor day: Midway, Empire day; and Grand Forks would have its fall fair. By this arrangement there would bo no conflicting dates and the people of the district could turn out and make, each celebration a pronounced success. ��������� Grand Forks Sun.

Hitherto Germany has been the only country in the world where the use of this apparatus was compulsory. At the present time au agitation is being promoted to afford better protection for tho miners of Pensylvania, and Mr. Roosevelt's recent visit to some of the miuea is very likely to result in some plain speaking on tbe subject by the ex-President. lb the meantime the miners of British Columbia may be considered to be among -tho best protected in tho world.���������Mail-Empiro.

Pains Where there are frequent attacks of NKiralgla and Headaches, there is always Constipation, Weakness of the Kidneys and Blood Poisoning. Non-action of the bowels compels the blood to absorb foul matter which should have passed from the body. Weak Kidneys fail to filter from the blood the necessary amount of waste.

Mrs. Scott-Raff Was Surprised at Gift , of Greek Theatre.. The story of the inception" of the scheme which resulted in the building of tho Margaret Eton School cf Literature and Expression is of decided interest, but has rarely been told even about the hearth of the beautiful studio of the school. Yet, it is no close secret, .and is worth knowing. It began at Muskoka, at the summer home of the late Mr. Timothy Eaton, and the time was the late weeks in August, 1905. Mrs. Scott Raff/ then director of the physical culture department in connection with Victoria College, was-a guest in the house. She had long been discouraged at the inadequate opportunities that offered to give effect to the spirit of her teaching and the need of a genuine temple dedicated to the cultivation of the ideas of "sweetness and light." Oner day she\ was approached by Mrs. Eaton, who o.uestioned her, and pressed her for a reply: "You are not happy," she said. "Why? Tell me why?" "I am not happy," Mrs. Raff admitted, "because I want what I cannot have, a school." "A school," exclaimed Mrs. Eaton, then, and added, "That is not so difficult. I'll ask father." "Oh, but I want a school no one on earth will ever give me," said Mrs. Raff. "I want a school like the Greek Parthenon���������nothing else will do; a school like the Greek Parthenon! No one will ever give nie that." But Mrs. Eaton was not so sure. "I'll ask father," she repeated, confidently. The following day in her morning stroll in the depths "of the forest, Mr3. Raff was hailed" by her host, who was sitting alone on a stump. "Raff!" he called, using the name as his mode of showing comradeship. "Raff! Come here; I want you." And then in an encouraging voice: "Mother tells me that you want a school?" Mrs. Raff's heart/beat high. "Yes, Mr. Eaton," she answered. "But I want the impossible; a school no one will ever give me. I want a school like the Greek Parthenon." There was, a space of silence between the two. Then the kind, quiet voice proceeded: "If I give you such a school as you want, will you promise me to stay with it���������always?" Another silence ensued, the merchant prince watching the new young priestess of beauty as she wrestled with the phantom of the future., Then solemnly she replied: "I will stay." . Mr. Eaton became all business energy. "You are leaving for Owen Sound to-morrow?" "Yes." "Go home by way of Toronto. See Chancellor Burwash and if he approves of your scheme, go ahead; choose you land, engage an architect, on his advice get your plans���������you may have your school." The" following day saw Mrs. Raff exploring' the neighborhood of Victoria College with the chane-llor. who warm- ly. endorsed the project. They decided on the 'present site of the school before their returrl. On the back of a used envelope on the journey from Muskoka Mrs. Raff had sketched her dream. It only remained for Mr. Meade to hear her ideas to give them form. On Mrs. Raff's insistence, the new school devoted to aesthetics was named for her patroness, Margaret Eaton, who still modestly disclaims any merit for the outcome of "only ��������� speaking to father." A Shrewd Scottish Lawyer. The Right Hon. Sir Robert Banna- tyne Finley, who presented the Canadian "case" in the fisheries matter to the Arbitration Tribunal at The Hague, is considered one of the shrewdest practitioners at the British Bar. While not considered to be an eloquent orator, he lias the art of presenting his arguments, not merely logically,' but convincingly, and he has a mind of a strongly developed analytical type. He is a Scotsman by birth and education, and speaks with a distinct burr. He was intended for the medical profession, and in fact graduated in medicine at Edinburgh University, but shortly afterwards took up the study of law and was called to the Bar in 18G7. His father. Dr. Win, Finley, who was a distinguished medical practitioner in Edinburgh, was said to be very much disappointed when his son abandoned his own beloved profession for the law; but the son argued him into giv-. ing his consent to the change eventually, although he has admitted it was one ������of the most difficult cases he ever had to plead. Sir Robert, who is a Bencher of the Middle Temple, was M.P. for Inverness from 1885 to 1892, and again from 1895 to 1900. He was Solicitor-General from 1895 to 1900, and Attorney-General from 1900 to 1906. He was knighted in 1896 and created a G.C.M.G. in 1904.���������Family- Herald and Weekly- Star. , Bishop of New Westminster. ( Rev. A. U.

She find been looking for him all through the -vurm spring, and dow, late iu May, she felt that be must come. Another week would bring the 30tli of the mouth, and Memorial day. Willi its tender observance of alljhe beloved dead, would come to crush down bur cherished hope of Robert's return. Esther looked wistfully across the pasture, and tears Oiled her blue eyes until hillside and pointed cedars were a dark blur. When she had wiped (hem away some one was coming wearily down the narrow pal li���������some one tall aud thin, dressed lu durk clothing, with a gray fell hat ou his drooping head. The iiiiin djd not lift his eyes from the ground, but tramped steadily on, Willi his gaze fixed on the winding paih under his feet. When the path ceased ut the fence he looked up and saw Esther gazing at him longingly, lovingly, but there was no recollection In his glance, merely undisguised wonderment. Esther's radiant smile faded as she searched the handsome face for some sign of recognition. It was Robert Webb, paler, thinner and curiously changed In expression, nnd yet It was Robert. A sudden terror ailed Uer soul. "Robert," she cried softly, "don't you know me?" lie stared curiously at her while a slow red burned Into his thin cheeks. He lifted the gray hat and showed dark hair streaked plentifully with white. "I am afraid you have made a mistake," he said in a deep, musical voice that was like Robert's own tones. "My name Is Robert, but 1 am sure I would have remembered you if we had met before. 1 came to see Mr. Lane. I was directed to take the short cut across the lots from the station. Is this his farm*" . Esther shiu.i back. "Yes. this is Mr. Lane's farm, you will Jiud him at the house or barn. Take lhe path through the orchard." With a murmured word of thanks the man replaced his hat, leaped the fence and disappeared In the gathering twilight of the orchard. Wheu Esther went Into the house her fair hair was wet with dew, but her eyes were very bright and shining. In the sitting room they were all gathered about the evening lamp. Tlie light fell on the red table cover nnd was reflected in the comfortable furnishings of the room. Mr. Laue was reading the almanac with an interest quite unabated by a long winter's persual of Its closely printed pages. Helen and Agatha were embroidering. They nil glanced up as Esther entered the room, blinking at the light. "You'll catch your death out in tha dampness, child," remonstrated her mother as Esther sat down ln a low rocker beside her. "We've been wishing you'd come In and give us a little music." "You promised to practice that duet with tne. Esther," complained Helen. "I don't see why you want to run away every night after supper. You can't guess what's happened since you've been gone." she added teasing- iy. The color leaped Into Esther's pale cheeks. She struggled for a moment with her quickening breath before her words found utterance. "What baa happened. Nell?" she asked, with assumed carelessness. "Nothing at all," Interposed Mrs. Lime, smiling, "except that father's tickled to death because he's got some oue to help him all summer." "Who is- II?" asked Esther. "A man who came here tonight. The station master sent him. knowing your father was put to It for help on the farm. He's young,and willing, though he's a little out of health. .He's been a soldier, and he wants to have a summer farming it to get back his health again." "And likewise fill his pockotbook," yawned Farmer Lane, stretching himself luxuriously. "I. guess we'll get nlong us well ns may be. He's a fine, pleasant spoken young chap, but he's seen a sight ol trouble, I take It. His hair's us white ns my own. He's coming tomorrow." "What Is his name?" asked Esther In a tntillled voice. "Robert Munson. Looks like some ono I've seen before. Cun't think who It Is to save my life," said her father, rising and filling his pipe at the mantelshelf. With a quick movement Esther arose ind wns gone from the room. "Father Lane." exclaimed Agatha iu k stage whisper, "It's Just come to ine who this man looks like! He looks enough like Robert Webb to be his own brother!" They cast startled pin tiros at one another. "1 declare If he doesn't 1" gasp, ed Mrs. Lane at last. "I hope Esther won't notice It It would upset he- terribly, pa." ��������� "That may be," returned Mr. Lane decidedly, "Esther's mourned over Rob Webb Jest Iwo years lotigei than he wns worth.

This day was no exception, and so It was quite early in the morning (hat they drove, away in the comfortable surrey, leaving Robert 'Munson standing bareheaded by the wide white gate. Esther had said nothing about going to the cemetery to place flowers on Robert's grave. She would wait until their return, and when the crowd had left the' graveyard she would climb the hill and place her offering there, tilone In the sunset. When the long day was closing they came homo again, Esther with her arms full of while blossoms gleaned from her aunt's garden. Tbe new farm hand had taken advantage of the holiday and was nowhere to be seen, so Farmer Lane put up (be horses and the others went Indoors. ' ' "I'll be back presently, mother," said Esther, tossing her"hat on the table and gathering up her flowers. "I'm going to the ��������� cemetery _ now. Lion will come with nie." "Very well, dear," said Mrs. Lane. Esther whistled to tbe dog and walked through tho orchard to the pasture. Robert Munson was leaning on the fence, looking at the reflected lights on tho distant hills. "1 am going up on the hill, Robert. Will you come along nnd carry my (lowers?" asked Esther bravely. "Certainly, Miss Esther." he said pleasantly, and so togethor they crossed the pasture and climbed the hill to tho place where the lull white shaft made a memorial for the fallen soldier boy. All about the base beautiful flowers were strewn, and some one had placed a little flag ln the green turf. Robert Munson was looking curiously at the Inscription when Esther gently took tho flowers from bis grasp and dropped them on the ground at his feet. -Then,she placed her hands on his shoulders und looked into his eyes. "Robert, Robert!" she cried tragically. "Don't you know me���������won't you ever recognize me agafn?" Very tenderly Robert Munson took her cold hands In his warm ones, and tho lirm pressure of his grasp seemed to give her wavering strength more courage. "Miss Esther." he said gently, "whom do you take mo for? Who do you think I nm?" "You are Robert Webb!" she cried eagerly. "See���������this stone was erected for you. Your father died of a broken heart when'you were killed, nnd your mother went away to live with her sister. I am here. I have not forgotten. See���������I huve kept your picture all these years. I have worn it always here." She drew away her hands and.pulled a chain from her neck nnd opened a round locket. The picture therein was that of a young man, much younger than Robert Munson, and, while there was a resemblance, it might have been more in expression than in actual features. "You have made a great mistake, Miss Esther," said Munson at last. "I am so sorry. I wish I knew what to say to you. I suppose you think the report of Webb's death was an error and that I am he, but it is not so." He stretched out a hand to support her wavering figure, but she leaned for support against the white marble. "I have seen service in the Philippines, and I did know Bob Webb for a short time, nnd I know he was killed. I am sorry tohave to tell you this. As for myself. I wanted a season in the country at bard work to recover my health. It Is sheer chance that I came to Little River and was directed to your father's farm. I have parents and brothers and sisters iu Rostou���������in fact, lam afraid I can prove only too well that 1 am not Robert Webb." He looked down at her with infinite pity in his fine eyes���������a pity that was so akin to AUTHOR OF "filNX'S BABY." Forty Years Ago Edward Jenkins Was the Kipling^of His Day. One of the most distinguished sons of the Montreal High School passes off the roll by the death in London of Edward Jenkins, ex-M.P., politician, humorist, author and editor, creator of the immortal "Ginx's Baby." Some forty years ago Edward Jenkins was so much in the limelight in the literary world that his position in the sphere of letters at thnt time has been compared to that of Rudyard Kipling therein to-day. His style had the Kipling touch, and both men had close connection with India. Mr. Jenkins, was born at Bangalore, India, in July, 1838. his father being Rev. Dr. John Jenkins, so long pastor of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, Montreal. He came to Canada with his parents at an early age and was educated at the Montreal High School and McGill University.. Then, after a course at the University of Pennsylvania, he was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn, in 1SG4, and had a most remarkable career in the year3 which followed. He was counsel for the coolies' on the Demerara Coolie Commission of 1870; agent-general for Canada from 11374 lo 187G; u member of the royal commission on-copyright in 1876-77; and about that time wrote his famous, novel, entitled "Ginx's Baby," by which he will be remenibpred when his political career has been forgotten. Among his other humorous books were "Lord Ban- tarn,'"The Coolie," "Little Hodge," "The Devil's Chain," "Barney Geo- ghegan," etc., etc. Beginning his life as a Gladstonian Liberal he was by turns an Independent Liberal and Imperialist, and in his later years a Conservative. He represented the city of Dundee, Scotland, as a Radical from 1874 to 1830, but was then defeated, and though he sought the suffrage of the electors of that city in 1835, and 1890, he had changed his political clothes and the people would not avail themselves of his services. He was one of the great historical characters at the Moi-ireal High School, stories of his bright sallies, of his boyish jokes, o������ his prowess on the football field and in gymnasium being handed down from generation to generation. One of his brothers, Mr. George Ernest Jenkins, was one of the under masters in the big school in the seventies, and to the great edification, and delight of the boys he often recalled the sayings and doings of his brother when he was-a High School boy, and occasionally read in class a clever letter from his brother humorously ref wring to his schooldays at the "Old High," anct "express-" ing his pride in its continued prosperity.

Above the football field of Claucar- michael skimmed Sandy M'lavish in his latest acaroplane. The few spectators who had banged their saxpences for the match stood with upgazing eyes iu wonderment. Like a bird Sandy circled iu the skies. He darted, he turned, he glided, he glode, he���������Hovers aud hoots! Something had gone wrong, and he was falling! Down, down, down! In one moment all was over. Sandy and his scaroplane lay in a tangled heap upon the field. The secretary of the Clancarmichael F.C. rushed up excitedly. "Is he dead, or just fainted?" he cried. "Worrk his arms, lads! Work his legs ! Bring some whiskey! We'll fetch him round." For fifteen minutes all worked hard in endeavoring to restore Sandy's consciousness. Then, slowly, Sandy opened an eye. "Aha!" cried the Clancormichael secretary, the light of triumph in his eyes.

The village of Waterloo is littie changed perhaps, by the ravages of a century, and it is today as colorless and uninteresting as it was ninety-five years ago. It saw nothing of the bnttle,'and its name was immortalized only by the mere accident that the Duke of Wellington, on the night of the battle, here found an inn in which to rest himself, and from which he wrote the report of his victory over the great Frenchman. The iun in which Wellington slept aud the house in which Victor Hugo lived when gathering material for his celebrated account of tbe battle, are the only show places in the village. By the way it is interesting to recall that this great battle is known by three different names. -English speaking people call* it Waterloo, Germans call it the Battle of La Belle Alliance aud the French refer to it as the Battle of Mont St. Jean. Defends the King. The Dean of Norwich made a remarkable address in a church near Norwich, in which he referred to King George as "a man to my personal knowledge of intense self-sacrifice and of high character." He then mentioned "two accusations, brought, as I think, by that part of society which is no society at all, firstly, that the King is sometimes accused of inebrity. You may' take me on undoubted authority that it is a libel. So far as his close friends have noticed him, he has never been intemperate throughout his his life. On the contrary, he is a man who, ever from the" point of view of health, has to be abstemious. He does not desire to be anything else. The accusation is still more unworthy, that prior to his marriage to the present Queen he had what is called a secret or morgantic marriage, with children by it. That is absolutely, root and branch, an untruth. The King ia a man, who, with a wife ol like disposition as himself, has been wont during his leisure to sit in his garden with his young children around him just the same as any of us might."

The visitor to the battlefield of Waterloo today, unless he be a military expert, can not but feel a sense of disappointment. To be such a great battle, Waterloo was fought upon such an absurdly small field. Fifty miles of Japanese received with fire the advance of nearly a million Russians in Manchuria. It is hardly a mile from one end of the field of Waterloo to the other. If the muskets and cannon had been stilled it would have been possible for Napoleon, at La Belle Alliance, to have conversed with the great Duke near the farm of La Haye Sainte across the two shallow valleys intervening The best musket known in those days could not be depended upon to do execution at a distance of more thai! twenty-five yards. Armies had to get clone together, there was always a great deal of hand-to-hand lighting. This made H r3<:c.Q.<.i-firy for the troops to be kept in cotw^Vii formation. One knows these things, and <jne remembers that there were not more than 180,000 troop,' till (tcf.d, engaged iu thin battle, aifd ^--etf^'itj^jg 'jjqt .*{"������������������ r-pared to find the great 'field ",of Watcrfo'c 0. theater too s-iial! jfcixa 1re'ipe*;,tablc'<l!k������rtEisL #3u modern warfare. ���������! s 11).''.'; '���������''" Visitors to the battjsfield, and H'���������cy ^xc Tom's Triumph. "Yes, the old town has changed a great deal since I left," said the city man at his old home on a visit, according to the Chicago Record-Herald. I miss many of the old faces. Whatever became of the Wiggins boys?" "They're both living here yit." "Arc they ? Have they ever amounted to anything?" "Well, Sim ain't ever seemed to be able to do anything worth wile. He's bought a farm just south of town and has the old folks livin' out there with him. Oh, I guess he's doin' fairly well. I understand he had sixty hogs that he sold at purty high prices in the Fall and he's buildin' a new house with a bath-room and a lot of other fool fixin's in it, aud has one of these automobiles, and don't do nothin' much himself but boss other people around. But Tom turned out to be a getiius. The paper had a whole column about him not'long ago." "Indeed? How has his genius manifested itself?" "Ain't you heard about it? He wrote the Declaration of Independence ou a postal card." PHOENIX, B. O. Is opposite the Great Northern depot and is a delightful haven for tlie weary traveler. Great veins of hot water run through the entire house, and bathrooms are always at the service of those in search of material cleanliness. The dining room is an enemy to dyspepsia, while the artistic appointment of the liquid refreshment makes the drinks go down like eatiug fruit in a flower garden, The sample rooms are the largest in the mountains and a pleasure to drummers with big trunks.

The British Columbia government is quietly carrying on public work which gives promise of being a magnet to attract tourist traffic to that province. Under the minister of public works an automobile road is being constructed through the mountains, and the best scenic portions of the province, which will, when completed, reach Vancouver. It is being made sixty feet in width and of solid macadam, winding around mountain sides so as to make easy grades. The government has hopes of the co-operation of the States immediately to the south and in a year or two automobile trips through British Columbia ought to be popular. With stopping places at convenient distances in the mountains and the gorgoeus scenery unrivalled iu the world, the Pacific province certainly offers attractions to the tourist of an exceptional character. All that keeps the tourist out at present is the lack of access to the beauty spots.��������� Claresholm Review.
