ABOUT URITISU COLUMBIA:
Practically very little is known of
our Pacific. (`oast province, and a few
facts selected from the latest and best
:maturities may not be mit of place.
Our source of information is the Brit-
ish Columbia Review, published by
The Daily World, Vancouver
British Columbia, the Britain of the
' a
Pacific, a large 1'hotn
bold 1 treasure
house, 800 miles long by 450 miles
wide, with vast forests, wade prairies,
fat hotton lands, rich ores and a mag-
nificent seaboard destined to be the
seat of some of the greatest fisheries
ever developed, is just on the threshold
of a career of marvellous prosperity.
Its area is 3305,04H) square nines ; popu-
lation, 250,000, with rootu for millions,
The estimated revenue and expendi-
ture of the government for the fiscal
year 1000-7 is as follows ; Revenue,
$2,617,07d; expenditure, $2,012,016.
The excess of expenditure over reve-
nue is provided for, however, by a
surplus of $208,205 remaining from the
previous year,
- Four principal ranges of mountains
•traverse the Province from north to
south, viz., the Rockies, Selkirks,
(''oast and Island ranges. British Co-
lumbia is the watershed of the North
Pacific slope. All the great rivers
flowing into the Pacific, with the ex-
ception of the Colorado, have their
sources within its boundaries. The
area of the lakes aggregates 1,500,000
acres.
British Columbia is divided by the
local government into eight districts,
as follows : Westminster district, in-
cluding Vancouver, total area 4,900,000
acres ; Vancouver Island, 10,000,000;
Comox (mainland), 4,000,000 ; Koote-

--Mr. Michael MeNab, Reeve of
Greenock, has sent in his resignation
to the township council. The law
does not permit anyone engaged in
the liquor business to be a councillor.
1 s int s
and as Mr. i\fcNab recently purchased
the hotel at Chepstow he has to resign
the Reeveship. '
'J'lte hone of Mrs, Rowland Cook,
Blyth, was the scene of-ta happy event
on Wednesday, July 18th, at high
noon, when her sister, Miss Annie
Mains, became the bride of Mr. John
R. Cowan of Newburg, North Dakota,
the 'ceremony being performed by
Rev. Dr. McLean of Blyth.
—Great preparations are being trade
by the Canadian Pacific Railway for
the handling of an immense crowd of
wen and women who are wanted in
the Canadian Northwest for work
during the coining harvest days. It
is estirnated that at least 25,000 men
and women will be wanted for the
harvesting. That is the present esti-
mate, but it is thought by many that
it will be even greater.
The latest official bulletin, published
by authority of the Legislative As-
sembly, says : With the exception of
nickel (which has not yet been discov-
ered in quantity) all that the other
provinces of Canada boast of possess-
ing in the way of raw material is here
in abundance. British Columbia's
coal measures are sufficient to supply
the world for centuries ; it possesses
the greatest compact area of rner-
chantable timber in North Arneriea;
the mines have produced over $238,-
000,000 and may be said to be only in
the early stages of development ; the
fisheries produce an average annual
value of $5,500,000, and, apart from
salmon fishing, their importance is
only beginning to be realized ; there
are immense deposits of magnetite
and hematite iron of the finest quali-
ty which still remains undeveloped ;
the agricultural and fruit lands pro-
duced $0,482,366 in 1905, and less than
one-tenth of the available land is set-
tled upon, much less cultivated; the
province has millions of acres of pulp-
wood as yet unexploited ; petroleum
deposits, but recently discovered, are
among the most extensive in the
world, and much of the territory is
unexplored and its potential value un-
known. With all this undeveloped
wealth within its borders can it be
wondered at that British Columbians
are sanguine of the future ?
The late Dr. Dawson and Professor
llacoun credited that portion of Peace
River valley lying within British
Columbia with 10,000,000 acres of
wheat land. The agricultural capa-
bilities of many sections of Southern
British Columbia are only beginning
to be realized. So far they have been
practically ignored, for the mineral
seeking prospectors who first invaded
the country had no eye for aught save
the object of their quest. Now, how-
ever, branch lines of railway and lake
steamers are enabling a new class of
men to enter and explore this land of
promise, and many have embarked in
fruit -;rowing, mixed farming and
dairying.
—The Orangemen have slated Walk-
erton for a celebration next year, and
in all probability the 217th anniver-
sary of the Battle of the Boyne will be
fittingly observed in the old county
town of Bruce. There is no celebra-
tion that attracts a crowd like a com-
memoration of the glorious 12th, and
few of us will .forget the immense
gathering that greeted the last Orange
demonstration held hero some eight
years ago.—[Walkerton Times.
—Mr. William J. McNally of Walk-
erton has returned from the West,
where he has been spending the past
three months, looking over the coun-
try with the object in view of settling
there. Whatever symptoms of the
Western fever Mr. McNally might
have previously shown, it is now cer-
tain that not a vestige of the disease
remains with him. In other words,
he has fully satisfied himself that the
West is not the place for Willie John.
Ontario is good enough for him.
—The Smith's Falls News has an edi-
tor who went to church some time
ago and listened to a very good ser-
mon, as sermons go. "We enjoyed
the singing and stood up with the
brethren and sisters while they sang
the good old hymn, 'Shall we know
each other there ?' While the hymn
was being sung we glanced about us
and counted about a dozen members
of the congregation and of the church
who do not speak to each other when
they meet on the street or elsewhere.
The thought occurred to us, why
should they 'know each other there'
when they seemingly don't know each
other here ?"

Terrible Back Pains.
They fairly agonize your life.
Something powerful and penetrating
is needed. Doctors know of nothing
so swift to relieve as Nerviline, pene-
trating liniment inade to .cure just
such pains as yours. Nerviline is
very concentrated, about four tinges
more powerful than ordinary lini-
ments. In the worst cases Nerviline
is extraordinarily good. All muscular
pain flees before it, Nearly fifty
years in use—a good recommendation,
surely.

Listen For Bronchial " Wheeze."
It means that disease will soon at-
tack the lungs. Wheezing is distres-
sing to the sufferer and annoying to
his friends. Nothing half so certain
iu bronchitis and throat trouble as
"Catarrhozone" ; it gives instant relief
and cures even the worst cases.
Bronchitis fairly flees under the magic
influence of Catarrhozone which cures
so thoroughly the disease never re-
turns. Other remedies may relieve,
but "Catarrhozone" cures bronchitis,
catarrh, and throat trouble for all
time to come. Sold everywhere.

pal of Blyth Public school, has been

—Mr. Geo. E. Foster, of the 13th

fortune to lose a valuable 2 -year-old
colt ; the animal fell front an open
door at the back of the barn and broke
its neck.
----T. Handford shipped three cars

nounced valuable by A. Vieux, an ex-
pert from Paris, who has been on the
