Light on my cheek, thy soft cool kiss, Breathed with thy lips apart, Such a sweet kiss given, my soul has shriven, And brushed the world from my heart. I hear the night wind calling, Breathing the night-time through, Oh give to my lips but thy finger tips, That I inay kiss thein too. —William Howeed Wang in The New York Times. The stockyards at Williams Lake, B.C., lie in the centre of a miniature empire, with the Cariboo country to the east and the Chilcoten country to the west. An idea of the size of this territory may be gauged from the fact that it takes three weeks to drive cattle to the stockyards from the more remote ranches, while the bulk of the cattle which comes from he west of the Chticoten river requires ten days to take the trip. g��'INE, OCR PE PPE FLAY=I'
