The Chinese hen pheasants look like prairie chickens, and hunters are warned not to shoot them. There are quite a number of these pheasants a+ and around Jackson's ranch near Midway. The Women's Institute of Greenwood wish to publicly tender tlieir most hearty thanks and appreciation to the residents of Greenwood and district for their yery generous support and contributions, which so "materially helped to make, the "Red.Cross Bazaar" such a great success. Since the "pink teas" were abolished, the police court in Greenwood does very little business, and it looks like a useless bill of expense to the taxpayers. The court neyer was much of- a terror to unhroken evil-doers. In recent months the odor of perfumes has. disappeared from its chairs, and the old court has seen its best days. Western Float Tulameen Mining Mr. Norcross, superintendent of tbe B. C.

Charles Rendell's Death Corporal John McNeill in a letter to Mr. Simms, of Vernon, tells how Charles Rendell was killed in the war. On the 18th of August in company with other soldiers be was fixing some trenches when tbe enemy began to shell them. While seeking shelter from these shells Charles was wounded in the back by a piece of shrapnel, and died that night from his wounds. All his comrades, among whom were several Vernon boys felt his death very keenly. He was greatly beloved by all bis comrades, and was a man who never skirked bis duty. He proved himself to be a brave soldier, and a thorough gentleman, either under fire or any other condition of warfare. Jt is the wish of the Platoon Commander, N. G. O., and men with whom be was associated that you would convey to Mrs. Rendell and family their deepest sympathy for them in their ' terrible bereavement. We have lost a good comrade; they have lost a good husband and a kind father. He died as a soldier should, doing his duty. B. C. Timber The editor, of the Orient Sentinel sells gun licenses.

Skidegate Gold What promises to be a rich gold discovery has been made at Skidegate on the Queen Charlotte Islands. The discovery was made by a well known mining man, Mr. McLennan. The gold lead, which was located close to the Indian reserve, runs into the reserve, so that tbe Indians may reap a rich reward. The values are estimated at from 8200 to 82,000 a ton. Tha values will be investigated. The Indians and other residents are very much excited over tbe new discovery.���P. .R. Journal. _ _. Perfidious Albion One of the German professors busy attacking Britain is Hngo Mansterberg. Here is one of his recent efforts: "It is no wonder that England has so many Colonies. Look how she got them! It's the system I England, yon know, wonld send an expedition headed by a missionary to some outlandish place or other. The missionary would disembark on the white beach. He wonld gather the natives together under a palm, and, holding np bis band, he would say, 'Let us pi-ay.' Then when all .the natives had their eyes shut in pious prayer, np would go the English flag.7' Alex Sproat recently appeared in the police court at Port Alberni charged with allowing his horses to run at large. , Ashley Holden of the Oiienfc Sentinel did not get out a paper last week.

Hodder bas tbe biggest geranium in the world. It is 12 feet high, and more than six feet wide. He accounts for its great size from the fact that he placed grouse bones at its base. Victoria, B.C., Sept. 22.���Under the direction of the Hon. the Minister of Lands, an attractive pamphlet entitled "British'Columbia Timber" has been prepared for distribution among the buyers in overseas markets. It is intended to draw the attention of importers overseas to the forest products of the province, and especially to the - facilities for exporting JBritish Columbia lumber. Consisting of nearly forty pages, and .containing nearly, thirty illustrations, the pamphlet treats of the principal exportable woods, their qualities and,uses, together with informa-- tion concerning ~ttieir 'strength?" values, and suitability for "various uses. A Hop Camp Any visitor to Agazzlz now would find much interest in a visit to the hop fields, a few miles, from Agassiz, along the shores of the Frazer. In two fields, of about 1000 acres, more than a thousand Indian men and women are engaged in picking, earning from 82.00 to $4 00 per day. This is the annual harvest for the Indians of the Fraser Valley from Lytton to Chilliwack. The season laBts_from a month to six weeks and this year there is a big crop. The Indians with their children live in camps arranged like barracks, some of wood, some of canvas, but all perfectly clean and well ventilated. In central aisles are huge cooking ranges on which they cook their sal_no__, beans, potatoes and bread. Miles of clothes line provide for the laundry of the camp which js an Indian village magnified but concentrated. ���Hope Review. Here is a Hindu fable of the creation of a women. It's a fable far more poetical than mir Christian belief, which tells us that woman was formed out of a man's rib. Read on: "Twashri, at the beginning of time, created the universe and man; but when he came to create woman, be found that he had exhausted his materials, aud no solid ���elements remained. "Twashtri mused a while. Then an idea came to him, and, in order to make the first woman, he took moonlieht and the undulations of the serpent, the slend.rness of reeds and their soft movements in the wind, tbe tears of a raincloud, the velvet of flower p. tab, the grace of a roe, the tremor of grasses, the vanity of a peacock, the softness of the down on a dove's breast, the hardness of diamonds, and the sweetness of hrnpj, the cruelty of a tiger and the warmth of fire, the cold of snow, the cbat- ter o__ii jay, and the coo of a dove ' " Twashtri m mm The Average man thinks his intelligence is above the average.

Hondt, Goat Heaven Farm, Spangle, "Washington, writes in the Goat Keeper as follows: On an area of . 15,000 square miles Switzerland produces yearly 38,000,000 worth.of goats and goat nroducts. Spain, Italy and Greece are heavy producers of goats and goat products. France, Belgium, and Germany are heavy producers, and are noted for the high milking qualities of their stock. In Great Britain the British Goat Society (under supervision of the government) yearly publishes a stud register giving the names and owners of pedigree stud goats selected by the committee, and recommended. for stock purposes. In Bavaria the country is noted for its larger number of centenarians. This fact is attributed by doctors to the daily use of Yoghurt, a product of goat's milk. Goat's milk being: very digest- able and rich, is recommended by doctors for the use of babies and invalids. The goat is immune from the dreaded disease tuberculosis, or the white plague, so common among cattle and people. With minions of acres of the finest brush land in the ��� world ly ing idle in the mountains, with the babies in the cities clamoring for proper food, the Pacific Northwest, and Jo fact the whole United States offers opportunities for the milk-goat industry, the possibili* , ties of which can hardly be estimated. Rapid Progress A servant in South-east London was telling her mistress the other day Of the boasting indulged in by the servant next door about her yotibg man in khaki. "I can't understand how he's - goi on so fast," she remarked. "Hevs only been in the-army a few months, yet she told me in November that he was a corporal, last week she said he'd been made a sergeant* and now he a to be court-martial." Mines and Mining ~ Ore was encountered a few days ago in the lowest tunnel on the Freddie Lee, situated up Cody gulch, and being operated by A. W. McCune. The find consisted of only a small stringer and is regarded as encouraging. This tunnel, which is designed to open up the property at depth, is now in 270 feet, and, according to indication, has about 60 more feet to go before getting underneath the main ore shoot of the mine. The Freddie Lee was one of the first shippers of the Slocan, and for a time, prior to the advent of transportation, ore had to .be packed for a long distance to water transportation. It is reported that the Silver Hoard has closed a contract for a 50-ton daily capacity mill, to be installed as soon as the building can be erected and machinery assembled. The decision of the directors to provide a concentrator is said to have been based on the report of the consulting eugineer, Harold Lakes, who has been- conducting a milling tesi) of a 50-ton shipment of Silver Hoard ore at the Canadian Consolidated mill at Rossland. It is said that Mr. Lakes' report states that a high percentage of recovery of the values is possible by simple wet concentration, followed ^by flotation, and the system to be employed in the mill will be devised and the installation superintended by him. "About a hundred tons of high grade ore are ready for shipment from the Mountain Con, which is located several miles above Sandon on the north fork of Carpenter creek, and according to the smelter returns from the last car, Messrs' McClurg and Bennett of Sandon, and Yawkey and Poss, of New York and Detroit, who are operating the Con, should do well on their season's operations. The last car slightly netted over ten thousand dollars. Good progress is being made on the wagon road being constructed to connect the Florence mine, on Princess creek, with the Highland concentrator at Cedar creek. The mill, which is owned by the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co., has been secured by the Wolfe interests for the treatment of ore from the Florence mine, and will be in operation shortly. Definite plans as to the means of haulage tq be'employed have not yet been decided upon, but it is staged that caterpillar tractors are being con sidered. The Florence is now in shape to deliver a big'tonnage of milling ore, and negotiations have been in progress for the securing of a market of 200 tons of zinc per month which is expected the property will be able to ship. After being compelled to store its zinc product for the last three months, the Rambler-Cariboo has favorable prospects of securing a zinc contract with Denver or Kan- sat. City smelters, making possible the marketing of 500 tons held in reserve, according to Dr. W. B. McPhee, who returned to Spokane a few days ago from a trip to the mine. The mine is producing 400 tons of silver-lead concentrates and zinc per month. The last zinc contract expired May 25 after the shipment of four cars,that netted a total of approximately $15,000. ' 'The Denver and Kansas City zinc companies are evidently in the market for our zinc and terms are being considered," Dr. McPhee is reported as saying. "The mine is now working 45 men. Operations being underway in tunnels Nos. 3, 7, 8, 10 and 12. In tunnel No. 10 a face of five feet of ore has been opened. The silver-lead concentrates now being shipped are bringing from $1800 to 02000 a car and the crude ore about $2500,"���Kaslo Kootenaian. No News Value A "cub" reporter on an up State paper was sent out by the city editoa to get a story on the marriage of a young society girl and a man well known in the city. The "cub" was gone about an hour and then returned and went aimlessly over to his desk, by which he sat down. Shortly afterwards the city editor noticed his presence and his evident idleness. "Here, kid." shouted the superior, "why aren't you at work on that wedding?" "Nothing doing" replied the boy. "Nothing doing? What do you mean? Didn't the wedding take place?'? "Nope, the bridegroom never showed up, so there ain't nothin' to write."���Philadelphia Times. fljiclats REALLY DELIGHTFUC THE DAINTY MINT-COVERED CANDY-COATED CHEWING GUM Always Ready��� the most convenient and the daintiest form of gum ever produced.
