BISHOP & BALL Fishleigh's Old Stand 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.

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 ?"

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. [itewalteme 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. --Mr. J. J. Bailey, formerly princi- pal of Blyth Public school, has been appointed Cointnereial Master of Lon- don Collegiate Institute. —Mr. Geo. E.
