OH, BUT GooD.-Just eleven years ago
the Vancouver Register contained the fol-
lowing paragraph, which fits as well to-day
as it did them
We are forcibly reminded almost every
day of our lack of houses. A gentleman
just inquired if we knew of a house to rent.
We could only answer that in our opinion
there was not a vacant house in town fit for
anybody to live in 1t has heretofore been
the case that our houses were occupied dur
ing the winter, but left tenantless on the
approach of spring. But that day is over.
Our houses will all continue full during the
ensuing spring and summer, and fifty more
would soon be occupied if we had them.
We are confident that those having little
spare money could not use it more advan-
tageously than in the building according to
their means, of one or more houses to rent.
We hope ere long to see some of our citizens
take the lead in this matter and thus do well
for themselves, and set good example for
others.

Two PIONEERS have recently gone the
way of all flesh. Felix Doud, about 81 years
old, a 49er, old Mexican war veteran, regu-
lar army soldier, miner, and old bachelor,
died at the house of VIM. Goldbeck last
week, from abcess of the liver He was
sick only ten days, though penniless, had
been taken care of by Geo. Weeden until
two days before his death, when it became
necessary to remove him from the hotel
Another 49er, Henry Bachman, 81 years
old, without relatives in America, died at
Goldbeck's on Monday, the 9th, of heart
disease. He was also penniless wauderer
and was taken care of by friends after his
funds gave out, until ten days before his
death, when the county took charge of him.
One by one the old veterans fall, and when
the last sickness takes hold of them now and
then they have to appeal to friends to lay
them away i'll their last resting place, but
their old comrades shall think none the less
of them for that The kindly mantle of
charity covereth all.
