The agricultural poesibilitiee of British Columbia,. and especially: of the southern portzon of the province, are now attracting wide attention and every year the area under -cultivation is being largely increased. The at- tractions of Southern British Coltun- bia for homeseekers are -certainly very great. The elimate is Most agreeable - and healthy, the soil is fertile and almost any form of agriculture -grain ;rowing. cettle raising, dairying, fruit erowing-can be successfully carried en and made exceedingly proOtable. The agricultural and pastoral lands are not restricted to a small propor- tion of the total acreage, for Professor Macouu, after personal investigation an the ground says: "The whole of British Columbia, south of 52 degrees end east of the Coast Range is a grazing country up to 3.500 and a farming country up to 2,500 feet, where irrigation is possible." This is a most important statement and it truth is being confirmed Iv the practical ex- perience of settlera who have estab- lished themselves in the country. As far north as 55 degrees it has been practically demonstrated that apples will flourish, while in the Southern Belt the more delicate fruits, peaches, grapes, apricots, etc., are an assured erop. Roughly estimated, the extent of these fertile lamis may he.set down at one million acres, but this figure will probably be found far below the actual quantity capable of cultivation when the country has been thorough- ly explored. • The southern districts have already established a record for fruit raising, and the products of their orchards have won first prizes in ex- hibitions not only at horne but in the United States and Greet Britain. The increase in fruit acreage has also been within recent years. In 1891 the total orchard area was 6,431 acres; in 1901 it had -only increased to 7,430 acres, but between that and 1904 the increase was 'jumped to 13.- 430, and in 1905to 29,000 acres. The increase during 1906 amounted to over 20,000 acres; number of trees planted 1,000,000. In 1907 over. one million fruit trees were planted, and a still larger number in 1908, so that the acreage in fruit is now considerably ever, 100,000 acres, The value of the fruit• crop of 1908 is estimated at $1,- ,500,000. Dairying and mixed fanning are also being engaged in with mark- ed success. Only Exercise. . Like every other editor in a big eity, W. H. Greenwood, of' The Toron- to World, is constantly hearing the applicationof young men who tire •anxious to break into the newspaper business. His invariable' reply to such applicants is in the form of a ques- tion; "What have you done?" The visitor has, more frequently than not, done very little but live on the bounty of bis parents, and hesi- tatingly says so, "Go and do something. Go around the world. Go west as a farm-hand . for a year, Get a job as a waiter. Join a circus. Beat your way for a little while and find out about the world. Then come back to me and give you a job," ' . And in this connection he tells a little story of a ,university student -whom he met on one of the C.P.R. boats on the lakes. The student was seeing the world as a waiter, and -Mr. Greenwood happened to dine at his table. When the meal was over the newspaperman laid -some silver down on the table aril remarked; "Heres something .to ,pay -for the wear and tear, my boy.' To his surprise the lad handed back the money. • "It isn't wear and tear, air," he said; "it's only exercise." A Joke on Larry Piper. The members of•the Winnipeg base - 'ball team recently put up A little game em Leery Piper, theToro nto boy who has Ina& such 'a sigpal success in the professional ranks in the West, i and s tow acting.manager of the Winnipeg Maroons. The team were playing at Brandon last week. Some of the members of the team tried to get advance pay, but failed to raise the coin. Larry saw no more of his team-mates that -evening, but about midnight he got a frantic telephone message saying seven of the Maroons were locked up in the police station on a charge of disorderly conduct. As the train for Moose Jaw, where the team next played, left at 2.30 axe. Larry tore for the station post-haste. After vigorous argument with the thief Of police the ,roembers were finally released, but Larry had to nut up $25 of his good doin as bail. The team left on the 2.30. Now it turns out that it was' all a little joke framed up between the Brandon Chief of Police and the Winnipeg players. Larry's $25 was mailed to him at nose Jaw. As Bad as WolVes.

Suggeition Regsedins Leinch Wee Not Followed. One of the ironclad rules of Sir Win trid Laurier's office la that all depute. tions Mast be arranged for in ad. Vallee, and that they shall be as brief as poseible in the presentation of their demands. Most delegations ae. cept the rule. recognizieg that the time td the Premier and of his col- leagues is valuable, especially during a session of Parliament; but there are exeeptiona, and some delegations manifest a most careful contempt for the value of the Premier's time. One such case developed not king ago. when a deputation from one of the Marittine °Provinces went to Ottawa to intercede with the Government for some public improvement which was considered of vital importance to its seaport city. It was headed bY a cbairinan, whom we will gall John- ston. This particular "Mistalt John- ston" is a strong Liberal, but he has the idea that his position as president of the Board of Trade puts lam above politics. When he and his co -dele- gates reached the Preniler's office, they were met by an M.P. who had the Premier's eara.nd were told that they must be brief, that there could not be more than three spokesmen, and that the whole interview must not occupy more than an hour, bes cause the Ministers had to go into Council and that they had to have lunch before the Cabinet met. Mr. Johnston did not consider that this arrangement, would give his de- putation tirne enough to ventilate its demands, and protested that he must have at least two hours with the Ministers, for the Premier was to be accempaniecl by two of his colleagues. The M.P. ventured to again trot out the argument that the Premier and his etelleagues must eat, whereupon "the" Johnston replied: "Oh, if we are not through, let them send out for their lunch and eat it while we are talking, arid 111 pay for it!" The M.11, was staggered at this exhibition of "lese rnajeste"; but in the end the Board of Trade man had his way, and the elipisters beard him through. But they didn't send out for their lunch a.nd eat it in the Premier's of- fice. They went without. And now, when Mr. Johnson arrives in Ottawa he is given an hour for his interview, which le placed along tepee between meals. . To Handle Sig Part. "The Grand Trunk Pacific will ban - die ten million bushels of wheat this fall, not to speak, of other products," says a high official of the Grand Trunk. lee "We handledearethe new line some. thing like two million bushels last year, but we have now a line as long as from Montreal to Omaha, clear, upon which regular business is being done. "That tract 'et the Northwest through which the line runs is com- posed of some of the most fertile land . in the world. It may be said. to be the guarantee of the success of the Grand Trunk Pacific. "We are getting the cream of immi- gration, too. from the United States, while the latter aro getting the cheap- er grades of immigrant from Europe. We get seventy-five thousand Ameri- can familiesarth anneht afthrthar ar can farmers every year.- Every fam- ily means a carload of effects, and evedy man $1,000 in =eh. The Ameri- cans are getting through New York, a class of people whose worldly pos- sessions are tied up in a handkerchief., Let this thing continue with us; let us get the cream, aswe are getting it now, and the next twenty years' will show a development which will be double that which we have witnessed in our hest,times," The official stated that whereas in the spring the Grand Trunk proper had 6,000 empty cars, they had now only 2,000. . War Relic at Petawawa. One of themost interesting picees, of artillery in Petawatva camp is a 12 - pounder breech -loader .gun, which some Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto men saved from capture during the Boer War, There is a special brass tablet on it on which is this inscrip- tion: ' "For saving this gun in' the rear guard action at T..olliefontein, Trans- vaal, an seventh November, 1900, fol. lowing honors were conferred: Vie- toria Orme: Lieut. Coekburn, Serge Holland, Royal Canadian Dragoons (Toronto); Distinguished Service Or- der, Lieut. Morrison (now LieuteCol. Morrison, of Ottawa).

Gunner Lane, Driver Henry, Driver Sullivan, Driver Lafleur, Trooper Haycock." Cattle In the West. A herd of cattle on the farm of John D. Cook, Newdale, Manitoba, shows whet can be done in wintering stock in the open in that nroyince. Mr. Gook erected expensive barns for dab - ling his stock, and was dissatisfied with the results. He experimented feeding in a coulee and leaving the ,cattle,out.all, wioter, and with. excel- lent success. Be find e that stook that nth iint all wintet ate healthier and Put on more flesh quicker when the new grass •appeaws than those that have been stabled, and they are ,less liable to frost -bite. Mr. Cook was the Drat to put this plan into practice in re commercial eway, and his shrewd- ness has proven profiteble to. himself and a boon to the country. Sign ef the Times. - A significant sign of the growieee ap. preciation by the United States busa flees men of the importance of trade with Canada is the publication by a well-known New York advertising journal of speeial Canadian numbers devoted to the great and growing pos- sibilities of Canada as a market for United States merchandise. The whole staff of this advertising journal has been employed for four months in a study of the Canarliiie field and has colleeted a vast quantity of stetieties on the subject which it will shortly present to its readers. it has an irti. !more erray cf forte about the de. velopment and retoutees of Canada.

There is in every mining camp a story of how someone, who knew noth- ing about the business, did something unusual, and struck a fortune. In Cobalt they tell about La Rose, the French-Canadian blacksmith, wile threw a hammer at a fox and struca one of the world's greatest silver mines. Up in the Yukon they :still tell of the Gold. Hill workings, and of the miner who struck it rich. Who ever heard of placer gold, being at the top of a hill? Nobody; at least, no- body did until placer was struck on the Gold Hill. It happened that an ignorant pros - pectin' came along one day and found some men washing gold in a stream. "Say, fellers,' he said,, "Guess ev- er,y.tyheisugdz taken us here, eh?" "Well, where do you think I'd bet- ter stake?" One man winked at the .othere and jerking his thumb over his shoulder indicating the hill said: "Go up there!" "And do you think, get it up there, really?" "Sure yon will, go right to the top The prospector went to the top and struck gold. That clay he had a tine of wild men to the recorder's Othee an4 among them were those who had "joshed" him, They had :staked all around the top of the hill. There is a prospector still working up in the north country who might be rich to -day, if he had followed an impulse based on geed judgment and observation. It was just about a year ago he was paddling his canoe down the west side of. Lake Gowgancla. Passing a point where the rock slop- ed gently down to the water's edge, he saw the Mann party' encamped. They were cooking a meal over the fire, and as he, passed he noted they were strangely silent. Usually a good deal of conversation passes between men who meet in re- mote parts of the north, but on this occasion the prospector, whom we shall call Bill Smith, noted that they were uncommunicative, simply ac- knowledging his greeting; but making no signs that they desired him to land. Notwithstanding to force himself on the party, but not before he had not- ed that Mann party • had built a table. "That looks as though they were here tostay. They must have made a strike,"s he reasoned. His impulse was to go ashore and prospect, but instead, he paddled on until his mind chaeged. That day the Mann party had made their strike, and this prospector miss- ed his chance -to get ex at Gowganda, for the country all around him then was unstaked territory, and is now the scene of the most extensive de- velopment in the north. Great ImperialHighway. • The • Harbor Cimunissioners of •Montreal are shortly to. submit a Com- prehensive scheme of port 'develop- nient on broad national lines. Such at least is the announcement they make in their annual report for 1908. Although a great deal of construc- tional work has already been carried out, further great works must be un- dertaken to meet the demands of Canada's increasing business, for the St. Lawrence: waterway is te be made the great Imperial highway, of cone merce on the Northern United Stet= Continent. During the pest season the St. Lawrence route was more pop- ular than ever with grain exporters. and the trade in full cargoes from the Port of Montreal is likely to irssuine large propoitions in the early future: The belance-sheet referred to in the hnnual report showed that the re- ceipts on revenue account were $530,- 000, and the diebursements $651,000. On the capital account the receipts were $2,013,129„ and the disburse- ments $1,619,575. The Port of Mont- real Is aceessible to all railways on the same terms where transhipment is made direct froth shipto car �r vice verge. The tonnage of the port has doubled in five years. ' What the Barber Did. .The next time that Peter Toeivs„ of Winnipeg, enters a barber's chair he will nuke certain he won't take' a nap. He wandered into the tonsor- ial parlors of a Leonold Violete re- cently. When he catne to he had the followieg little bill presented to him: Haircut. 250.; shave, 15c. ; singe, 25c ; electric shampoo, 50c.'; scalp massage, 50c. ; face massage, 35c. ; eye -brows dyed, 75. ; moustache dyed, $1.00: Meal, $3:75. To this was added $1 for good measure. Toews looked at himself in the glass. It was not the same Peter Toews 'he knew 'before hie sleep in the barber's ehair.

But on the back of the pauel is an in- seription which shOWS tend the pie - titre is of historic as well as of artistic interezt. It is a portrult of Henri, Due de Joyeuse, sometime a Marshal of France. and a Caprichin Monk. alter- nately, and a member of a family re - pawned in the annals of France. He was born in the year 1507 and becom- ing a soldier distinguished himself as a warner,. but he was so stricken by the death of his wife, Catherine de la Valette, in 1587, thet he assumed the robe arzel took the vows of the Fran- ciscans awl devoted himself to a lite of austerity, so much ea that he ap- peared on one oecasion in a preces- sion of the famous Sainte Ligue, or. eganized by the Due de Guise against the Huguenots, crowned with thorns, bearing a cross and scourged by two monks. ln the year 1592, however, he cast away the religious habit and appeared at the head of certain bands of religious devotees who were ravag. ing the Province of Languedoc and finally submitted to Henri IV., re- ceiving the baton of a marshal, the govertunent of Languedoc and an of - lice in the royal household correspond- ing in sortie degree with that of the "Uroom of the Stole" in the British Royal Household. But ire the year 1600 a sudden impulse took hina back to the monastic life, and undertaking a pilgrimage to Rome he died while on the road.

One of the most remarkable high- ways of transportation in America is jasper evenue, the main street ot ledruouton, writes Augustus Bridle. in The Toronto Globe. In twenty years that splendid dog -leg of a street foe, lowing the kink of the river bank has seen three eras of traffic and, more varieties of rig -outs than any other highway in Cariada. The hutikie doge and toboggans went jingling in there from the far -up posts of the fur lands long before the caravans of the Red River carts. The kyuses of Indiana end half-breeds came helter-skeltering in from the shacks and the tepees. Mounted Pollee filed among the zig- zag log shacks that hunched up on the edge ot the old fort down on the Rate. And the carts came: the drawn- out straggle of the creaking,. honking, all -wood chariots that made the thou- sand -mile trek from. Fort Garry by the Meandering black trail; and up front Calgary when the steel went through. Anti the four -horse stago went slam -hanging down the high south bank before there was ever a Strathconit-on to the old cable ferry, and crawling up the steep to the ropy black trail where the un- certain shacks were just beginning to mark out the stent of the street. For the little 'eg town was reaching along and the hoes of traffic were going deeper as the town grew and stood still and waited for the railway. Sometime soieebody named that trail Jasper avenue because the Jasper House stood there at the east end where the carts hailed in -the creak - lug, =ravening ears. Up into that jumble of shacks with the trail snak- ing amidst came the ox -cart =ravens of the priests, legg,ering along with goods for the nuseion at the Oahe (11.4 of St. Albert on. the Sturgeon.
