Several cases of wanton damage are reported to The Ledge- office as having been done last Saturday evening. In spite, of .the vigilance and good nature shown by the police some of the young people gave a display of gross ignorance that would be hard to beat. The removal of one of the war trophies is a disgrace and should be the subject of strict investigation. COPV OK BY LAW NO.

A report of the recent convention of U. B C. M. in, Victoria was presented but the Council having withdrawn from the body the report was not dealt with although opinions were passed on one or two items of business. The Finance .committee called attention to an. account for treatment of a supposed indigent sick person from this city in the Grand Forks Hospital and the account was handed to the City Clerk for further inquiries as to the chances of it feeing paid by parties other than the Council. Repairs to the skating- and curling rink were .ordered ahd a long discussion took place regarding the renting and running of the rink this winter. ��, Unnecessary extravagance in the use of power will be checked' aud it was felt that the generous terms granted by the Council -in the past few years have uot been duly appreciated by the younger people of the place. The Clerk received instructions to make the necessary alterations in theMighting system on the skating rink and to arrange for preliminary floodings early in the season. The Council is prepared to consider any suitable scheme put forth by reliable parties for the running of the rink this winter. Repairs to the ^cemetery fence were reported complete and satisfactory. . Another half dozen meters are available ahd these will be' installed at once. Hydrants have been tested and repairs effected where necessary. Damage to certain city property was reported and prosecutions will take place if sufficient evidence can be acquired.

White. Bill Reaveley, Henry . Jackson and D. Lampman are making good progress on the Gold Pick claim at the north end of "Greenwood, Young Lampman, who is getting his first-mining- experience,���is-the son of O. D. Lampman, of Vancouver, on whose request "Bill" came prospecting to this pare of the province instead of going again up north. , * Owing to the recent illnesses of Geo. Hambly and By H. MeGillie, operations at tha Elknorn Fraction have been somewhat retarded. ' In addition to the ore in the' bins a considerable quantity underground is stripped and ready to take down. Inspection of this property has been a revelation to several mining men who have visited ife recently and the ore being'taken pat is of a gradQ equal to any in the district. The Wellington mine, adjoining the now famous Sally mine on Wallace Mountain at Beaverdell is being operated by a Greenwood syndicate. Several tempting offers for this property have been made during the last month but the effective development work done daring the present year ha3 proved up & rich lead of ore at depth and thOBe interested are .content to manage the mine themselves. A. J. Morrison is president of the syndicate. G. S. Walters, is .secretary of the syndicate - having taken over this duty since Ed. Nordman, former manager of the Sally.mine, went to live in Nelson.- All the workers and officials are members of tbe syndicate and it is anticipated that operations on a greatly increased scale will commence next spring. x Golf at Kettle Valley A match wap played oh- the Golf.

Fraility Of Men.Of Strength It Is Found That t(ie Strongest Frequently Die At Early Age Twenty-five or thirty years ago Eugene Sundew was not only "the strongest man in the world," ..but he was unquestionably the finest specimen of physical manhood of his day and generation. Every boy who looked upon his much-photographed development longed to be like him. Now; at the age of 58, he Is dead; the effects of an automobile accident some years ago are said io have hastened his end. One week ago Sigmund Hreitbart, again "the strongest man in the World," who was touring Canada a few months ago, died quite suddenly. Tliere. was also John .\Iar_x, who was Sandow's immediate, successor. He ���tore horseshoes in two with his naked hands, smashed chains with a blow of his fist, stood on a high trestle and with a harness on his shoulders lifted an elephant off the ground. He died of consumption in his early forties. Tlie bulging muscle man is generally the object of envy and admiration by other nien. The envy is sometimes unwarranted. Tlie so-called strong man is often a frail reed, and if he is not he frequently becomes one because ho neglects taking the care of himself that oi'less powerful man would do.���Ex.

Ib was found by Chris Haessler. one of the Swiss guides stationed at Glacier B.C., and the ascent to it was made in S?ptember by 19-year-old Paul Mclntyre, an annual visitor with his family to Glacier, the suide and W. J. Oliver of Calgary. Mr. Oliver describes the adventure as follows:��� "It was a glorious day, Mount Sir Donald was crowned with a circular cloud liks a halo; the vegetation was at its peak and wi In the c avly morning dew the valley was filled with a delightful fragrance.. After walking through massive timber we gradually. emerged into jackpine,. brush, and on to tha tongue of tho Glacier, Here were the headwaters of* tho Illecillewaet/ River wending its way down the steep vr.llcy from this huge Glacier. Our progress from this jShinivv.-sis sornswhat slower, our good trail had boon left far bshind; the first "J .500 feet was over rock ancl morraine, crossing- freshets aiid miniature waterfalls from the ice above. As soon as we reached the ice we adjusted the crampons to our feet, these grampons are made of iron and are similar to a small bobsleigh each having 12 spikes distributed evenly a over the surface and about 1 lA inches long. "Travelling along these huge crevasses is very thrilling, at times there was only a walking surface of 2 feet and on either side of this narrow ledge of ice were drops from 1,200 feet. c.Chris Haessler the Swiss Guide led the way and roped \o him was Paul Mclntyre and self. Our course over*the ice field was continually brought to a ,., halt ou account of a huge gulch in the ice being too wide to" cross, we would then have to travel either up or down until ottr guide could locate a place narrow enough to cross. Finally we located the ice cave after travelling along the base of one of these .huge crevasses, it pioved to bo 10.feet high and 20 feet long, the sides weie worn like the sands after an ebbing tide and with the strong sunlight that was coming in at its entrance these pieces of jutting ice scintillated like huge diamonds. Eight in the centre across the valley, framed by this wonderful oval cave stood the Swiss Peak3 and Mt. Heimit. "Leaving heie we-travelled on to the ice aeracs near . the "top of the Glacier and it made the unaccustomed stand in awe to see the Swiss Guide and Paul Mclntyre run around these ice columns and ug and down the sides- of their steep ice br.nks like children at play." - s *���*������? ���frypz-xx?.-.; ;v<��& ��������������������� &.-Z.&&^.:&'- - ' ' '' -������"���"��� ��� ^y,i^y^^mm^^������ - -':|S>^^^;-7'...-f DR.
