IT PAYS
TO ADVERTISE
IN THE
TIMES
A SHARP SWORD IN INDIA.
Lord Kitchener Sees No Possibility of
Reducing Charges.
Lord Kitchener, speaking in the
Legislative Council at Calcutta on the
Indian budget, said some members
had alluded to a possible reduction of
the military charges owing to the re:
cent agreement with and the cordial
relations existing between the great
northern power and ourselves.
This factor had not been overlook-
ed nor underrated, but other weighty
reasons affecting the external and in-
ternal security of India must be kept
constantly in view.
Lord Minto expressed hearty agree-
ment with Lord Kitchener's views
with regard to military charges, and
said that the Commander -in -Chief's
scheme had recently enable India to
draw a sharper and better sword than
ever before. The result had been a
remarkable success from the point of
view of brevity and economy. •
THE WINGI1AM TIMES, JULY 2, 1908
A BIG UNDERTAKING,
Will Drive Herd of Buffaloes to Battle
River Reserve,
Howard Douglas, formerly superin-
tendent of the National Park at Banff,
recently appointed commissioner of
Dominion parks, arrived in Edmonton
recently, after spending a couple of
days at Fort Saskatchewan, The parks
included in Mr. Douglas' jurisdiction
are the Rocky Mountain Park, the
Oval, the Glacier Park Reserve, the
Elk Island Park Reserve, the Jasper
Park, and the new Buffalo Park on
the Battle river.
The commissioner referred to the
announcement xnade by Hon. Sydney
Fisher to the effect that the whole
of ' the eastern slope of the Rocky
Mountains was to be set aside as a
forest reserve by the Government.
"The reason for this is," said Mr.
Douglas, "that as the timber is cut
down the snow will more easily melt
on the mountains, and the water will
come down with a rush in the spring
in the coming years, and in the hot
months of J;;ly and August there
will be no moisture for these western
provinces as there is at present.
"The new buffalo park on the Battle
river," said Mr. Douglas, "was taken
over on March 1, and the next thing
to be done is the fencing of it. This
fence will bo seventy miles long, .eight
miles of which wil run along the main
line of the G.T.P., so that the travel-
ing public will be able to get a glimpse
of the animals as they pass. The park
comprises 125,000 acres, lying about
120 miles east of Edmonton on the
G.T.P."
In speaking of the buffalo at,,La-
mont, which he saw a week or so ago,
Mr. Douglas said: "The animals have
wintered well, and three calves have
been born during the winter months.
From natural causes less than 11-2
per cent. have died. Last year one
herd was brought in in June, and an-
other came in in October. When the
two herds met there was a fight,
and, T am sorry to relate, eleven were
forced into the river and were drown-
ed. But that will be more than made
up in a short time, as eighty or one
hundred calves are expected. There
are still some 300 head to come m
from Montana, and Michael Pablo is
now trying to round them up. He has
built a fence some 23 miles from the
mountains
tohgs home, and the
buf-
falo
f-
falo striking that are driven right into
the coral near his house.
"Last year Pablo had 185 horses
and 63 riders on the range for three
weeks. This was rather expensive,
and he has adopted the new tactics,
claiming that they will be cheaper
and will be a more effective method of
rounding up the buffalo.
"The three hundred that have still
to come in will be driven straight
to the park at the Battle river. The
Mexican cowboys that will bring
them up will drive the herd of 400
that are at Lamont now to the new
reserve. Imagine an 80 -mile drive of
400 buffalo over land. It will be one
of the greatest undertakings in the
line of cowpunching ever seen. The
buffalo have been fed on hay all win-
ter, about seven tons a day being
used. There is still nearly 800 tons
left. The very mild winter made it
possible for them to forage for them-
selves.
"My headquarters will still be at
Banff. I have been there for eleven
years, and it naturally seems like
home. Geo. Hunter succeeds me as
superintendent there, while 0. D.
Hoare has charge of the Yoho and
Glacier Park Reserves on the C.P.R.
in British Columbia, and Mr. Sim-
mons will remain in charge of the Elk
Park."
Conger Cruelty.
The Ilfracombe magistrates have
decided that a conger eel in a haw-
ker's barrow is a wild animal in cap-
tivity, and fined John Conibeare, an
itinerant vendor of fish, $5 for cutting
lengths off it without going through
the customary formality of killing the
eel first. The case was a test one
brought by the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, whose
solicitor :narrated the following facts:
Conibeare in the morning bought a
30 lb. conger which had been landed
alive, and hawked it about the streets
in his barrow. He sold five pounds of
it in the evening, and cut it off from
the tail end. There was a second sale
of three pounds, and while these por-
tions were being severed the conger
struggled and snapped at the sides of
the cart. A veterinary surgeon said
that as the nerve centre had not been
destroyed the eel was sensitive to pain.
Conibeare admitted that he had not
killed the conger, and, although his
solicitor argued that the severance of
the spine would make it immune from
pain, lie was convicted.
A Chance Meeting.
Proceeding down the wharf, I no-
ticed any friend coming from his small
boat, which he had just made fast
alongside. We stood face to face.
"Ah, well met, comrade," quoth 1.
"If my eyes deceived me not, a rat
from beneath the timbers this moment
leaped into your craft."
Good i Excellent!" dried he. "I
see Sir Robert's finish. 'Tis a cat-
boat in sooth."
We embraced, then proceeded up
the wharf arm in arm toward the
coffee_iouss.

RATS INVADE NORTHWEST.
Undesirable Immigrants of New Type
Cross the Border.
In an obscure corner of a Regina
paper the outbreak of another race
question is set forth with cold, unim-
passioned brevity. A most unwel-
come class of immigrants has been
coaling across the American border at
Gretna, Manitoba, a quiet town in
the Mennonite district. As is their
wont, these immigrants have been tak-
ing up their unwelcome abode in the
houses of the citizens, and the de-
spatch calmly relates that one, Hel-
lcffs, a butcher, murdered twenty of
them.
Yet up to the present neither the
United States nor the Canadian Gov-
ernment has taken any notice of this
cringe. So callous are the people of
both countries that it is not apparent-
ly regarded as a crime, though it oc-
curred among a people who hold life
so sacred that they will not in any
way countenance war.
The immigrants are a horde of rats.
Up to now the whole of the West
from the lakes to the mountains has
been clear of this pest of Egypt. The
rodent known as tett muskrat has
built his home unmolested in the riv-
ers, lakes, sloughs of the West, and
occasionally made his way into the
house drains. Mice also levied toll
on the family larder, but the West
has so far been free from the rat. It
may be that they, are deserting sink-
ing ships of state in the near -by repub-
lic, but whatever the cause, their in-
vasion is most unwelcome. It is like-
ly that this is the penalty we will
have to pay for commercial expan-
sion. Our only hope is that among
the motley crowd of immigrants we
may yet find a Pied Piper of Hamlin
who will charm them back across the
border. Their advent shows the need
of strict supervision of immigration
from the United States.

War Stops at a Tollgate.
In Sir Henry Drummond Wolff's
"Random Recollections" there it a
quaint tale of the Belgian revolution,
when fighting was going on in the
park at Brussels. B
The Belgians found
themselves short of powder, and or-
ders
rders were given for supplies, which
took an unconscionable time in ap-
pearing. "At length some of the
leading men determined on going
round themselves with a party in ease
an attack $tad been made by the
Dutch. On their arrival, however,
they found the convoy delayed by one
man with a white nightcap and the
two words 'I,a b:irriere.' 'Thus 280
men were stopping each to pay his 9
sous toll before proceeding to engage."

$500,000 HANGS ON DIVORCE.
Romance of British Columbia Leads to
Marriage Tangle.
Property in Lanarkshire and Stir-
lingshire worth $500,000 depends upon
the result of an action which has de-
veloped out of a matrimonial romance
in British Columbia.
The question raised is whether the
defendant, Richard Stirling, was legi-
timate, and that depended upon whe-
ther the marriage of his fa,her, Wal-
ter Stirling, now deceased, was valid.
The Pro lem takes its
origin in from a
divorce obtained by a Scotsman in
North Dakota, U.S.A.
The story was outlined by counsel:
Mr. George Smith was born in For-
farshire, the son of a minister of the
Church of Scotland. He went to Can-
ada when 22 and never returned. At
a place called Rat Portage he joined
Mr. Edward Seager, a land surveyor,
and married that gentleman's sister,
Evangeline Grape, a Canadian lady,
and the marriage was registered in
Manitoba.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith went to the
territory of Washington, but went back
to Canada before completing the two
years' residence necessary to become
American subjects, and lived in Alber-
ti, British Columbia.
Shortly after they went there Walter
Stirling appeared on the scene. He
entered into partnership with Smith
in business connected with lands,
mines, and timber. Stirling was a
man of means, and found the money.
Three children were born to Mr. and
Mrs. Smith -Jesse, George and Jane.
The Smith family And Stirling lived
in the same house.
On the last day of December, 1894,
Walter Stirling departed from the
house, leaving a message to the effect
that if Mrs. Smith found life unbear-
able with her husband she could fol-
low him. He went twenty miles away.
Mrs. Smith did find "life unbearable"
in a day or two and left her husband
and joined Stirling.
Then Smith followed his wife, and
there was a meeting between them
and Walter Stirling. The partnership
proceedings were arranged, but whe-
ther they arranged. their subsequent
divorce proceedings was another ques-
tion, though counsel said he thought
the evidence was strong that they did.
Mr. Smith consulted a lawyer, and
with his elder daughter went into
North Dakota and lived in a boarding-
house. He stayed less than the ninety
days to acquire a domicile, and then
he began his divorce proceedings. He
did not accuse his wife of miscon-
duct, but he obtained his divorce on
the ground of desertion, which "lac-
erated his feelings."
According to the laws of Dakota,
Smith and his wife were parted for-
ever, and the former returned to his
home in British Columbia, where Ile
married agr.in.
Mr. Mickiem, K.O., on behalf of the
defendant, Richard Stirling. said that.,
assuming the marriage of Walt's- Stir-
ling and Mrs. Snaith -which followed
the Dakota divorce of Mr. and ?4rs.
Smith -was not a good one, the child
might be legitimate according to the
Scotch law on the footing that the
parents went the ongh the c•ie,mealy
of marriage believing Unit they were
properly married.
Evidence of expert lawyers was tak-
en as to the validity of the Dal:ot
divorce, and also as to the beaeing o
the Scotch law.
The hearing was edjeern'•d for 6:r
ther elucidation of S:lotch 1:r.-.• on tin•`
subject.

A most unpleasant creature
Is the man who knows it all,

And tails and talk away,
And only those need listen

And his advice is ready
And guaranteed to fit,
Though not a soul has asked him
To shed a bunch of it.

He rises in a meeting,
Where things are running smooth,
And wants to switch the current
To his own private groove,
And with his explanations,
As tangled as a skein,
He gives to all his hearers
A most decided pain -
A bore from whom few meetings
And lodges are exempt,
And one is always tempted
To treat him with contempt,
But if he puts your patience
To too much of a tax
The better way to treat him
Is with a large, bright ax.
