last year with three assistants, he

Mr. Fisher plans wisely and well.
The "Prairie Queen" hotel will stand
as a witness of Ida foreolght and
energy.
Another evidence a Mr. Fisher's
practical, develoaing methods is found
in his plan of securing for tile resi-
dents of the new town of Stirling an
adequate and constant supply et pure
water. He purchased and broiight in
froin the United States the largeat
well drilling machine of its kiwi that
ever entered Western Canada. With
this he bored three wells, sepuring an
ample supply of the. purest water at
a depth of 87 feet in the. rock.
Mr. Fisher is a practical lumber
man, having spent much of his earlier
life in his father's mills, where he
obtained a thorough keowledge of
lumber and building. He has one
hobby—a fondness for horses and

Looks Like a iold-up
The Inspector of Weights and Mea-
sures called on many of our business
men last week, tested their scales and
exacted his fee ranging anywhere be-
tween one and five dollars.
Has any person yet discovered why
grocers and others sbould have to -nay
this fee every time the Inspector calls
on a visit of inspection.?
It would be understandable if the fee
were collected from only those whose
scales are discovered to turn to the
advantage of the owner, but why any
other person should' pay the fee is
difficult to ffncl out.
Hundreds ot people have scales that
they buy and sell from, and ,no inspec-
tioh is made; 'The regular inspection

be protected against light weight

in Canada is sporting editor of The
Toronto Globe; an old lake sailor and
several other things beside, Was one
of the chief witnesses against the Mil-
ler antiebetting nril in the recent spe-
cial enquiry at Ottawa. After he had
given his evidence, Mr. :W. E. -Raney
of Toronto, wile represented the relig-
ious interests bank of the measure;
approached Nelson in the norridor
and eaidi
, "Look here, Nelson, it's all very
well for you to testify as you did, but
you must admit that racing brings
objectionable characters int* the
country and that racing associations
even ,admit objectionable characters
to membership."
"Well," replied 'Nelson, "tbere's A
good. deal of difference of opinion
everawhere as to what constitutes an
objectionable charanter. Now I need
to belong to a very fine organization
and it specified only two classes of,
people which it would not admit to

More Than He ,Wanted.
At Dundee, twenty miles east of
Winnipeg, on the farm of Guy. Scott,
there is a flowing well which has caus-
ed •considerable anxiety to the owner
and municipality of Springfield: Mr.
•Scott wanted an artesian well and he
bored down to the rock, a distance of
250 feet. The water spouted up very
powerfully and • at the top of a pipe
thirty feet above the pound the flow
is just as strong as at the. ,surface
of the • geound, •
Ihe well was dug a year ago and
since then the water has been gushing
oil; over the land altogether Ileyond
the control of the owner of the fedi'.
The • Springfield Council gave. a
grant toward helping Mr. Scott to
control the water and concrete to the
thickness of ten feet was put all
around the pipe. The force, however,
was still so strong that the water
spouted out all around the concrete.
The water is now running away for
miles under the snow.
There is reason to believe' that the
C.P.R. will take hold and. help con-
trol the situation by piping the water
to Hazelridge for tank purposes.

TOLD OF .BONAR LAW.
Canadian In British Commons Is a
Man of Ready Wit.
Probably more good stories are told
of Mr. Boner Law than of any of the
politicians of first rank on either side
of . the British House of Commons,
says a writer in M.A.P.
At the time of the last General
°
Eleetien, Mr.eBonar Law was speak-
ing in Glasgow and happened to re-
fer to the attitude Mr. Balfour then
took on the fiscal question. He point-
ed out that the "English people love
compromise," and instanced the
course taken by Henry VIII. at the
time of the Reibrmation.
Whereupon the following question
was handed up -to be answered: "Is
the candidate aware that Mr. Balfour
is a bachelor and that Henry ,VIII.
was much, the reverse?"
• "Yes," replied the eandidate—"but
possibly Mr. Balfour mignt not be
a bachelor if he could be sure of get-
ting rid of his wives as easily as

appearance he is a spare, upright
man of average height, with reddish
brown hair, a moustache, and kind
eyes.
Although he is a Scotsman by par-
entage, he was born in New Bruns-
wick, .Canada, in the year 1858, the
son of Rev. James Law, Presbyterian
minister in that 'province, and of
Eliza, daughteroaf the late Mr. Wil-
liam Kitson, an iron merchant of
Glasgow. •
His boyhood until the age of twelve
was spent in Canada; and this partly
accounte for the keen interest he
takes in all that makes for the wel-
fare of the Dominion. At twelve he
went to Glasgow. presently to attend
the commercial section of the High
School, being deatined for comineree.
Of this stage of his career, Mr.
Sonar Law himself gives an interest-
ing note. "As a boy in the High
Bchool I remember being told by one
of the masters: 'You have every kind
of sense except common sense
character sketch -which I hope now
could be reversed with -more truth."
