STEALING UNCLE SANS TIMBER.
A Case That Might Properly Call For Atten-
tention From Commissioner Sparks.

Chas. Crawford, U. S. deputy marshal,
returned yesterday from an official visit 70
the vicinity of st. Mary's lake and Chief
mountain, where he spent several days,
making a thorough examination of that
most attractive region. Among other
things he ascertained that citizens of the
Northwest territory were cutting timber
by the wholesale and floating it down
Belly river to Lethbridge, whence it Is
sold and distributed TO ali parts of the n.
w. 7. Only a few weeks ago the RIVER
Press published an item, on the authority
Of one of the foremen of the timber gangs,
that fine logs to the number of $4,000 had
been driven down the stream this spring,
and mills were then being erected at Leth-
bridge to work them up into lumber. MF.
Crawford made a thorough investigation
of the matter aud has the best OF evidence
that these logs and many others have been
cut on American soil by British subjects
and sent to points in the queens realm e
be worked up into lumber for general USE
in the n. W. territory. AS is suggestee
in the head lines, here is a case that mlghi
well command the attention of Commis-
sioner Sparks. IF he got excited because
settlers cut what timber they may n quiEe
on the public domain, a case Of this kind
in which millions of feet of most valua5lf
timber is purloined by foreigners, ongh
to work him up to a high pitch Q
indignation. The matter will be reported
to the properauthorities and such actor
taken as may be deemed best.

How Too1e and Johnston Got Chicken Pot

While proceeding on their journey from

invited to sfstep in'' Mr.. Toole did SO and
the colonel drove the team around to the

we were in a land of perpetual summer

The evening Of September 4th began
with steady rain which continued all
night, turning to snow the next morning
and by sunrise the mountains and upper
valley were covered to a depth of three
inches with the uncomfortable.
The appearance Of this usually fair land
is enough to make any one sick at heart.

Management of . Big Hotel.

The management of d great hotel is as
arduous and exciting a task as any allot.
ted to man-at least. that is the belief and
opinion of all managers l nave ever met.
It is easy enough to perform the duties
which devolve upon the manager, for there
is nothing more to be done than to person
ally know that the guests of the hotel are
being properly entertained and to see that
they are made to feel perfectly at home.
There is the great secret of understanding
your guests feel az though they were well
come as though under their wi roof and
giving them, when possible, personal evil
dence of the fact. The details are looked
after in all first-class hotels by a competent,
efficient corps of clerks and assistants with
well paid attaches throughoutthe building.
thus relieving the manager of a vast
amount of work. And yet he must be
within call when wanted, and it is to the
advantage of the hotel he represents for
him to be seen as much as possible.
Promptness is one of the requisites, Tor
guests become dissatisfied permanently
when they suspect neglect, and If their
small wants are quickly satisfied they will
often overlook some Of the larger defects.
Success can be summed up as due to regu.
larity. promptnss, courtesy and a strict
