[The Phoenix Pioneer]
BC Historical Newspapers
Devoted to the interests of the Boundary Mining District. The Phoenix Pioneer was published in Phoenix, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from April 1898 to May 1916. The Pioneer was published by the Pioneer Publishing Company, which was managed by W. B. Wilcox (from 1899-1908) and Thomas Alfred Love (from 1908-1911). On August 12th, 1910, the headquarters of the Pioneer burned down, together with a large portion of the town of Phoenix itself, and the paper consequently suffered serious financial difficulties. On April 11th, 1911, the Pioneer was sold to Gilbert Kay, who published and edited the paper until May 1916. The paper was published under a variant title, the Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal, both from 1903-1910 and from 1911-1912.

I have just heard such nu interesting itory of a young girl who persuaded he-manager of a summer hotel to alow her business card to be placed in .lis rooms, announcing that sho would ' nerid lingerie gowns, blouses und voukl also clean gloves and shoes at 'ensomible rates. The guests who required lier scrv- cea left their cards in the hotel office, ivery morning the pretty girl applied o the clerk for tlioni. Before long, very niorulng saw her depart from he oQlce, armed with a collection of hings to be mended. Later on busl- iess grew so brisk' that tho services if a boy wero obtained to go from oom to room collecting the goods. The ���oung woman found the homely occu- mtion a paying one, nnd the landlord las reason to be glad ho permitted ler to plnco ber card In tbe rooms, for lis guests hnvo found her a great nil- lltion to tbelr comfort.

Persian insect powder is death to ail lice. Sweet cream or camphorated lard Is & knocker for head lice. For clucks, turkey mothers, tender poults and chicks we prefer the Persian, but for adult stock there is no killer more effective and cheap than the following mixture: Four pounds plaster r>arls. one pint gasoline, one-half pint crude carbolic acid. Mix tbe acid and gasoline, stir into the plaster and. when thoroughly mixed, screen over a newspaper,' allow to stand two hours and then dust ��� 'reasonable amount Into feathers of fowl;" Three applications a week apart will1 finish the lice and disinfect the roost t FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. That the fools and suckers aren't all dead yet is shown by the number of systems advertised nnd constantly coming into being. Did you bite and get bit? The week before Easter Is a good time to ship capons to market. In picking do not remove feathers from neck, upper breast, thighs, tall and wing tips. Two tblngs mostly kill tbe millions of brooder chicks that decease���too much heat too much to eat. This Is a rhyme, so take it in time If you'd strike a gold mine. Whe.u-you. estimate the profit your hens bring don't forget to count ��� in the fun you get out of it That: exercise in the air and sunshine has kept you from many a brainstorm. As your chicks get older you-must change to larger grain. If kept right along on chick feed their gizzards do not develop. They keep soft, and in the end you have birds that are weak. So many women are interested iu poultry, and hundreds of questions were asked by them where we lectured at farmers' iastltutcs. They are surely the sine qua nou. Without them man is a fizzle. When you get weary of work don't become a Weary Willie. Life is a history; and you can't afford to. have any pages blank nor blotted, so labor on, and may every page be filled with good deeds and tho conclusion be bap- py. When forcing chickens for market a j narrow ration will cloy on the appe- j tlte, and the fowl will not eat as much as It can digest. stile Is usually successful. As' tbe brain becomes fagged' Ihe sheep go moro and more languidly^ and sleep soon follows. One of the best plans for going to sleep is to nuke op one's mind * to be reconciled to staying awake. If you lie quietly nnd think out some plan for the next day or say to yourself you will Just, lie quietly till sleep bverfnkes yo'ti you will find yourself "dropping off" almost before you know JL It Is all nonsense to say. "Oh. I should go!mad if I were to lie awake for a long time." It Is merely that wo have grown.Into the habit of thinking'that .whim we go to bed we must sleep, but most of us sleep as well as cat more than wo need, and if we .regard tbe fact of being snugly tucked In bed as sufficiently restful the horror of lying awake will pass. If too much notice of insomnia Is not taken It will usually cure itself. A Stretching Exercise. It imparts elasticity And It Is good for one It will lift the vital organs. It gives strength and poise to tbe body. The clothing must be loose and comfortable To begin uny exerclso ono must stand erect. The chest should be high, tbe bead up and the cbln In Tbe body should rest on tbe balls of tho feet not on the heels. At first It mny be enough to breathe deeply and slowly (mouth closed) standing thus. This alone is a fine thins:.If practiced In tho open air or before a window open top and bottom for five or ten miuiites twico a day. Now for the stretching. Sweep the arms slowly outwnrd and upward until they touch above tbo head, lifting the chest walls and stretching the arms. Lower the arms with tho same sweep, stretching them all tbe time. Klve^ times will be enough nt first breathing deeply and slowly all tho time. . . crnmming machine is used by some, while others tickle the fowl's palato and thus increase the appetite by adding variety to the bill of fare.

Sir HerbertBeorbohm Tree, the famous theatrical manager, was present at a supper In London a short rime ago where Signor Grasso was an honored and much feted guest When the banquet was over and every one was departing. Grasso was so confused and carried awny by the attentions and embraces which had been showered upon him that be thoughtlessly directed bis taxi driver to drive him to the stage door of the tbeajer at which he was playing. "What on earth does ho want to go back to tho theater for at this time of the night?" nsked ona; of those who were waving hfm adieu.

Though there are a number of different kinds of wood, ebony, ironvvood. etc., of such close, bard fiber that even the fiercest fire has difficulty in "getting bold" of it, thero is only one sort so far as now known, that is practically fireproof. This is a small scraggy tree, a native of South America, called the shopala. with thick, tough, stringy bark full of a sort of fire resisting sap. This curious shrub grows largely on the great, grassy savannas, which are swept by fire almost every year during the heat of the summer. There it thrives splendidly, for the annual scourge kills off only Its bigger and hardier competitors and leaves the ground free for the growth of this vegetable asbestos. -<wa- rwmt Suisse'"'" Photo by C.

' Rear-Admiral Jvinfirsmill, director of the Canadian naval service, since 1908, recently arrived on the coast on a visit of inspection of the naval yatcl nt Esquimault and the Canadian cruiser Rainbow. He elcnie,s that the Canadian govoinment hn\e purchased the cruisci Aboukir. A Ire, which occurred in Dunn's lumbci yards, in Toronto, recently, spread to the Aged Womcns' Home on Belmont street,'containing' 99 inmates. There were'no fatalities, .although 25 of the inmates were helpless and were carried'from the building. The loss is about $30,000. Under instructions fiom the attorney-general, woikmcnha\e commenced the cleaning up of the land known as the Songees Reserve, at Victoiia, fiom which all the Indians have now been rcrnoxtd, A small number who have no rights there will be sent back to their own reserves. An accident; at Coqtiitlam Lake, a short time 'ago is reported. Six men were working in the tunnel of the Vancouver Power Co., when one ot them accidentally struck a piece of dynamite with1 his pick. The resulting esplosion blew all of the men out of the hole, but none of them" was seriously injured. Forcing their way through three heavily barred doors and two trap doors in the ceiling, before they secured their quarry, Jthe Victoria detective force made a raid upon an alleged, gambling^ den ,in^ihat city or few days agd, ' TfeirtjRrpne Chinamen" and Va ,cw��gcm_'load-/of paraphernalia, including^the thiee barred' dodrs^Vwere 'taken - in, .tiie faid., -'"-/ r - ' -,. j- - /Hie grizilyv bear which slew^a lion at a���menagerie jn, England te^ 'cenlly, has 'now finished .up a fine brown bear, jJnative,6f B.'C. -They fought furiously for ififrefeijr minutes, defying" all' efforts - to part' -them. Finally th��?'fire hose was -turned on them, but' the-tbrown bear was .so mauled that hexlied from his injury. The financial loss as the result of the two ficrhts 'at estimated at over siooo. It is announced by^ the C.P.R. company that - they will shortly raise forty-five ^miUion dollars for terminals, improvements \o properties and the buifdjng of hotels from the Atlantic to the Pacific at various points. The company has twenty million dollars in the treasury and the remainder is to be raised by the issuing of common stock. Large sums will be expended in B. C, including two million in Vancouver alone. Work has heea commenced on the mounting of two 9.2 guns on Signal Hill, Esquimault, s to augment the defence of the Canadian naval base on the Pacific. Thi>T is in accordance with part of the scheme of defence began by the Imperial authorities 14 years ago. When the ' Canadian government took ..over Esquimault in 1901 it was decided not to mount the i?uns, which since then have been_lyiiig in the store housed The author of a cruel hoax is badly wanted by the Victoria police An old sign was picked up at the Gorge with the words written on the back, "You will find me in the Gorge. , Mrs.. Callow. Gooel-bye." The sign was taken to the police, who showed it to Henry Callow, whose wife has recently mysteriously disappeared. The writing \\as in several respects similar to that of his wife, but the husband, declared that it was'not hers. Word hgs been received from Aiynsh on the Naas river, from Chief Owens, who is at the head of the provincial police party that left Prince Rupert a short time ago on orders from Victoria, to the effect that no trouble exists there with the Indians. A drunken Indian had threatened n white niiin, and alarm being felt at the threat, a message wns sent to Victoria. After a trying trip by Chief Owens and his men, they arrived on the scene and found everything quiet.
