Mining Notes Preliminary work in being done at the Providence mine preparatory to the resumption of operations. E. A.

V An electric pump in being installed at the Elkhorn fraction which is being operated by local men.- A sorting Bhed and ore bin is also being erected. J. W. Gallagher, of Bonningfeon, and Ambrose Tree, of Calgary, were'in town this week en route to the Red Chief mine, 4. miles west of Hedley, where they will install a compressor and. other mining equipment. Valuable Contributions The Board of Directors of the Greenwood and District Hospital wish to specially acknowledge the large subscriptions that have lately been given. The amount of the $200.00 from the Lieutenant Governor Hon. W. C. Nichol, was'one of the most pleasing, coming as it did in answer, to a letter from fehe Sec.-Treas. asking His Honour's sympathy and support. Knowing as we do his generosity to all kinds of, institutions-requiring money, the-people of tbis district must ieel very much gratified that they are nofe left oat Of Mr. Nichol's consideration. The Women's Auxiliary stand out prominently with their very generous contribution of $200.00, which was secured" by entertainments and also from the Bale by tickets of a Caribou head so generously'donated by Andrew Sater, The work ou the entertainments was very-great, and fehe Board thoroughly appreciate, the Ladies Auxiliary's efforts in this respect. The sale of tickets for fehe Garibou head realized quite a large sum, and Mrs.' G. 8.. Walters must be congratulated on tbb large number of tickets she sold," sending them to many old timers who had memories of Greenwood in its palmy days. - The Greenwood Hockey Club showed their usual good sports* nianahip, in generously subscribing from their funds, which they wers able to secure from their successes afe hockey lasfe .winter, a cheque for $38.00, for which the Board wish feo express their appreciation. The acknowledgement of these subscrlpfesons will appear in the' asual list of -Subscribers to ihe Hospital. 7 - GOLF ' _.

The track meefe itself was a great success and the smoothness with- which the programme was carried oufe reflects great credit, upon the directors and officials of the association.

Dear Sir: ' _ Would yoii_kindlx^ud_ me space iu your paper to try and explain why the memorial service and a picnic are held upon the same day 24th ' of May, as some people have the peculiar notion lhat it is unseemly to have a picnic same day that we gather round the memorial atone to pay our respect* and remembrance to those who died for their country.' ' , The memorial service is held distinctly from the picnic, on the other hand we hold the event annually not ouly "lest we forget", but also that the rising generation take part and be taught by their parents why the war was fought and the result we gained from- the sacrifices of all those who took an active part in the war. ' " The monument commemorates the end of the war aud stands there to re- mind.future generations of their debt - to the brave men who died that thcy. and theirs might still be free men of a glorious Empire. It is hoped that aa many as possible will bring flowers, wild - flowers' preferred, aud the children will lay them round the "'stone of remembrance"awd it is especsallyap- propriate that out of the three greatest giftsof Cod to man. children and Sowers, should take first place. The Queen's Birthday has always been the children s day and there is no reason why thej* cannot have the usual picnic and sports in the afternoon as " usual. Grief and joy go hand and hand throughout our lives and therefor we can remember those who died for us and having thanked God for ail his blessings to us, in the morning, cau be glad we are still alive and are still a part of the Greatest Empire tbe World ever saw, and celebrate the fact ia thc afternoon.

Quite unspectacular- in appearance, merging inconspicuously into their surroundings among the docks, cranes, lofts and elevator buildings of the waterfront, these two metallic workers do not reveal their enormous power. It might have gone unrecorded had it not been for the engineers who brought them into existence. The coal towers derive their strength from electricity. General Electric engineers, who designed their electrical vitals, completed their work by making ihe calculation which shows what the towers can do, measured by human strength. The immense coal loft which thoy serve is about two hundred feet high.. The towers shovel coal into the top story windows. Their shovels pick up two and a half tons of coal at each scoop, and they lift two shovelfuls a minute. After lifting these loads lhc full two hundred feet, they curry the coal, crane-like, to the hopper and deposit It. They cau shovel steadily;. ut the rate of COO tons an hour."

A Country Of One Town Bangkok Is Centre Of Work and Pleasure In Siam One of the oddest, features of lhat odd country, Siam, is that for all its size and wealth'and largo population it is a country of one town. Bangkok is everything lo Siam. Bangkok is so Europeanized that it does not fairly represent Siam as a whole, but. Siam without Bangkok- would bo worse off relatively ihan France without Paris. Bangkok is the seat of a very centralized form of government and administration. Ii contains the only permanent,residence) of the king, and all oflicials and nobles, except a very few provincial officers, have thcir work antl dwellings in the capital. It is there, too, that they take all their pleasures, for lhe Siamese know nothing like tlie counlry life that' Anglo- Saxons Jove. 16 tho Bangkok gentleman owns estates in the luterior ho does not live on them. To the European, Bangkok is all Siam. Here he meets all the foreigners in the world. The First Electric Battery Noted Italian Scientist Made Discovery . 150 Years Ago Who would imagine that a frog's leg and a copper skewer led to the discovery of electricity?

A great many of our dollar bills are physically- filthy paper money and an unsanitary menace. Belter health as- well as self-respect culls for cleaner money. The lower denominations of our paper money service aro loud tokens of germs and dirt, soiled money. Tliey are ill encouragement to cleanliness at N homo and poor testimonials to Canadian habits abroad. If it is impossible to have a money laundry we should cancel all lillhy.lucre. In other countries paper money is much cleaner than in Canada, in Britain they do not. allow tho lower values of white bank notes lo circulate at all when they-have'accumulated a quarter of the germ culture Canada considers agreeable to the People. The Bank of Kugland never reissues a live-pound note once it reaches its coffers again. All its notes aro printed upon white paper which shows the dirt more Quickly than our bills, or rather has more while to show. The British problem is much j simpler, lor the Bank of England notes are of larger denominations and therefore' are not subject tb thc constant handling thai our paper dollars must undergo. But we, if wre are to save ourselves the physical effort of handling metallic coinage, must at least pay the price of such exemption by emitting and 'maintaining' a clean money service.���St. Catharine.s Standard.

George P. Graham, minister of railways, announced^reductions in the estimates for the" railways, with a view to lightening the financial burden of the counlry. Ten millions is to be eliminated from the main estimates, and supplementary estimates for the system-will not be pressed. Mr. Graham felt that when all things were considered, the success achieved by 'tho Canadian National was phenomenal. He declared no private company had to struggle under such difficulties as the Canadian National. -At ,one of the most critical periods of the world, tlie Canadian National hail becn handed a disjointed mass of intricacies, the chief entities of which liad .been "plunged into^ bankruptcy under.private ownership.. There seemed to be an idea that public ownership should, at a stroke, remedy all the "delinquencies of private ownership, during the last half-century. " " Transportation companies should be judged by the -service "rendered, and by the cost. .Mr. Graham compared the operation of American and Canadian railways. "In Canada," he said, "both the great lines of railway are above criticism, and, in fact, ono of the great difficulties of both the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian National Railways in this country Is that the service in quality exceeds the remuneration in quantity. The service to the Canadian'people is altogether too Tokio, good. " . Fish Embargo No Relief Will's Not Help Canadian Industry ; Says T, H.

"Men actively engaged in the fishing industry aro optimistic that the result of this investigation will be a recommendation that the president exercise his prerogative and reduce the duty by one-half." The order-in-council passed In 191-1 permitting Uiited States fish to pass through Canada in bond was a good thing for Canada, in the opinion of Mr. Johnson, os it provided employment for Canadian labor' and much freight for tho Canadian National Railways. ~ Have Competition Algarssbn Polar Trip Held Up For Lack of Funds London.���The race " to the North Pole between Amundsen and Grettir Algarsson'of Vancouver, the mere announcement of which stirred two continents a few weeks ago, is In danger offering called off.

Senator Mitchener believed that the scheme of credits recommended by Dr. Tory, president of the University of Alberta, would be successful in Canada. Senator Bel- court said that rural credits" was the most important and practical scheme before the country. Senator Mitchener also believed it to be the best scheme until thc government provided a better system of financing agriculture. If i liere was a system of rural credits to consolidate the farmers' <iebis,and secure extended terms for repayment, they, could remain on the land and redeem their investment, he said, but, if not, thousands would have to lose all and leave* Canada. There was no chance of progress in Alberta without aid of this kind. o Considering Trade Treaty With Finland Question Will Be Submitted to Parliament Shortly Ottawa.���A trade treaty between Canada and, Finland shortly will""" be submitted to parliament.

General Patterson stated that there were millions of dollars worth of equipment lying idle along the right of way, aud that if only a part of it'was utilized, it would pay for the co.it of completion of the road. He said that it seemed utterly foolish to abandon the project when only a few miles of the road.remained to be completed, and that the people of .the west were amlost .unanimously, behind lho; idea, and that they felt-that the future prosperity of Western Canada depended, greatly on tlio north route for the shipment of grain. General Patterson said that only one million dollars was needed to finish the road, and if a few small expenditures were made tin docks at Port Nelson the project would be finally . .demonstrated as tho absolutely feasible undertaking that Western Canada.believed it would be.

I Ought! 1���I OUGHT to belong to the Church because I ought to be better than I am. Henry Ward Beecher once said, "The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones." ��� 2���1 OUGHT to belong to the Church because of what I can give to it and do through it as well as because of what I may get out of it. The Church is not a dormitory for sleepers, it is an institution of workers; it is not a rest camp, it is a front line trench. , 3���1 OUGHTvto belong to the Church because every man ought to pay his debts and do his share toward discharging the obligations of society. The Church not only has been the bearer of good news of personal salvation; it has been and it is the supreme uplifting and conserving agency without which "civilization would lapse into barbarism and press its way to perdition." 4���1 OUGHT to belong to the Church because of memories; memories of things I can never forget; memories of faces that will neVer fade; memories of vows that are the glory of youth. 5���I OUGHT to belong to the Church because of hope; hope that lives when promises are dead; hope that paves the way for progress; hope that visions peace and social justice; hope for time, and hope for eternity���the great hope that casts its anchor behind Jesus Christ. ' ' '6���1 OUGHT to belong to the Church because of the strong men in it who need reinforcing-; the weak men in it who need encouraging; the rascals in it who need rebuking. If I. say that I am not good enough my humility recommends me. If I sit in the seat of the scornful my activity condemns me. , 7���I OUGHT to belong to the Church, but not until lam ready to"' join a going concern; not until I am willing to become an active partner with Jesus Christ. _^See the Minister at once and be ready to partake of your First Communion on the 17th,-May.
