The logs were over 40 feet long and were to be used for building a new barn on bis ranch just across the Boundary from Joe Caron'a place. Mr. Riley was about 67 years of age and is well known throughout this section of the country. He leaves a widow, one daughter, Mra. Chas. Thornton, of Spokane aud three sons at home, Wm.

(By Spoke-Shave) The usual fortnightly dance, of the Anaconda Social Club, was held at the School House on Friday last. Members were in fair 1 attendance. Business was discussed and E. F. Keir presiding, urged upon the members the necessity of closer co-operation and mutual effort and it is to be hoped his words will not pass unheeded. Arrangements were discussed concerning the public dance to be held during the week of St. Valentine's, and the price of admission was fixed at 25c. With tbe concluding of business whist dominated until 10 p. m. followed by dancing until 2 a.m. AU present thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Music was amply supplied by Messrs. T. Williamson and S. Bombini, and Miss Ada Beattie. Olob members regret the recent sickness of Miss Mae Keady, and wish her a speedy recovery, also the indisposition of Mrs, Beattie who has contracted a severe cold. One of the most commendable features of the society is the absence of intemperance. Up to tbe present time there has been little or no sign of intoxicants. It may also be added that as the prohibitionists are iu an overwhelming majority any individual who cuts up rusty will be, regardless of sentiment, forcibly ejected. Red noses are sure objects of suspicions observation and scuting. Please dont forget tbe talc. ��� Kelly's eternal query���"Got tbe makings Mike"?

And now Rex Beach has entered the comedy field in -motion picture production with a new film, "Going Some," based on his stage success that swept the oonntry several years ago. Mr. Beach changes the scene of action in this case from the snowy wilds of Alaska to ' the desert-like ranges of Nevada, but bis vigorous imagination and red-blooded de- - piction of character and action have not deserted him in the switch from drama to comedy.

Because Its Fine Qualities Are Protected by the Sealed Package 83 Canada s Needs No. 5���Cheaper Transportation In preceding articles in this series Canada's need of a larger population, of a return of agricultural prosperity, of -world markets for its products, and of a greater employment of Canadian raw materials in home manufactures and domestic use has been pointed out and emphasized, As one means of bringing about thc realization of all these improvements in our national life, possibly too great stress cannot be laid upon the question which forms the subject matter of this article, namely, cheaper transportation. During the war years, and for a time following the Armistice, there was steady and rapid advances in rates charged by the railways of the country both for the carriage of passengers and freight. Rates went up by leaps and bounds until they far surpassed anything known previous to 1914. No doubt advances were inevitable and necessary under the unprecedented conditions created by the war and thc financial and commercial upheavel following those years of destruction. But. the culminative effect has been to place such a heavy burden upon production and business as to constitute a handicap under which all industry now languishes. The burden of excessively high transportation costs must now be removed as a first and necessary step to a resumption of that activity throughout the whole business world which is essential to a return of prosperity and plenty of employment for all. While war-time high prices for labor and all commodities prevailed, business could carry the burden of high transportation charges Two dollars a bushel wheat could bear a heavy freight rate and yet leave a profit to the farmer, but wheat which realizes a dollar a bushel or less cannot pay the eame price as two dollar wheat and still leave a margin of profit to the grower. And what is truc of wheat is equally true in the case of livestock and of all articles of commerce. Yet while the prices of all articles produced by the farmer have enormously decreased, there has been-practically no decrease in the charges ho has to pay to get his products to market, nor on the necessities of life which he must buy. The result.is that the prevailing high transportation charges arc throttling business and ruining the producers of the country. Inevitably and ultimately the railways themselves must suffer. If production continues unpro- Quick Growing Trees Western Farmer Can Grow Wood for Fuel Within Six Years Many of the species of trees which can be use on the prairies are very rapid growers, for- example, cotton- wood, willow, Russian poplar, and Manitoba maple. It is safe to say that wood large enough for fuel can be grown from any of these trees witiiin six years. After that time a plantation will increase in value and productiveness year by year and will prove one of the best investments on the farm.���Norman M. Ross, Indian Head Forest Nursery Station, is authority for the above. DO YOU FEEL LIKE THI: WHEN YOU WAKEN? Prompt���Permanent���Belie! CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS rarely fail.

A thoughtful woman has written me a letter. She confesses that she has no time for play. In other words, she has so planned her life that she has no time for recreation. To quote, she says, "I wonder if it is possible to put my life ou a business basis? Let me place the facts before you. "I have two babies. One is two years of age, while the other is almost one year of ago. I do all my own housework, including washing and ironing, as I' cannot afford help. My husband helps me when he -.can. He is a letter-carrier and is usually home for about one and one-half hours between 12 and 2 o'clock in the middle of the day. "In addition to my housework, I do preserving in season with the aid of my husband at night. Then, too, I mako all my children's clothes as well as many of the simpler things for m3r- self. I am trying in between times to knit a sweater suit each for the children. The bugbear of my life, however, is mending my husband's socks, tie is on his feet all clay long and need .to change his socks daily. It seems I never finish darning socks. "My home is a four-room apartment. It has a very large -kitchen inconveniently arranged, a nice bedroom and dining room arid a very large living room. I am just considering putting tho dining room furniture in with tho living room and making' the dining room into a nursery for the children.. "It seems that I am going all daj*^ long, but 1 can never look around and feel satisfied that there is nothing to be done. In fact, most times I do not dare to look around.

Lumbago, or Muscular Pain, the quickesfrelief always comes from the use of Nerviline, 35c at all dealers. its most valuable applications is in the making of patterns for casting purpose's. It can be. built up into any form and it sets quite hard so that it can be cut like ordinary wood or turned in .the lathe./ It has the valuable quality of being waterproof, and it does not warp or deteriorate through damp'. Plastic wood can also be finished with sandpaper in the ordinary way, giving a highly glazed finish. , Nails can be driven firmly into it , without cracking it. Perhaps the ', only drawback is that its adhesive qualities are sb marked that it sticks on the hands of anyone using it. The manufacturers, . however, supply n special solvent which enables it to be thoroughly cleaned off the hands.

The coal fields of this province underlie about thirty thousand square miles of territory, and, according to British authorities, several of the coal seams are twenty feet or more in thickness.

The Value ��f Books, The Person Who Owns a Few Good Books Is Never Without Friends Now that the long winter evenings are here parents might do something to interest their children in- books and reading. At present dancing appears to be tho chief pursuit of the young people, but here and there are boys and 'girls who would rather read than dance, and in years to come these will have their minds well stored, while the devotee of the dance will have only a vacuity in the upper story. A membership in the public library costs.- next to nothing, aiid opens the way to a wide range of" reading; but boys and girls should be encouraged to have books of --their own. The person who owns a few good books is never without friends at hand; and the home without books, even though it-have wealth and "everything else, is a dreary reflection of the mental calibre of its occupants.��� From"hte""Godericrf Sipal7 Experiment Tried in France Promise Safety for Passengers Wireless telephone conversations between trains moving at the rate of forty miles an hour and the Paris- central station, which have been achieved hold out a promise of greater safety for passengers, as well as a considerable diminution of intermediate signaling stations.

There was a real friendship between Elijah and Elisha, though the one was old and* the other young. Elisha came into the life of Elijah in the field when Elijah called him from the plow (I.
