S. F. Bulletin: The Sun, of Sarnia. On
tario, calls the attention of the Dominion
Government to the fact that the Chinese
make that place their point of departure for
the United States. 1t also reports regu-
lar invasion agency at Toronto similar to
| that established on our southern border. in
other words, Canada permits on its soil an
organization for the evasion and violation of
| the laws of the United States. Where does
the comfy of nations come in here? This

We were writing ''copy" this morning,
and book agent came in to our sanctum
with smiling face, and asked us whether
we wanted certain book. We answered
no in the gruffest tone. Still smiling ''child-
like and bland" he forced upon our notice
certain work, until we finally told him that
time with us was more than money; it was
life. health and peace in the family. He
finally departed, saying he would call
again. We did not extend the invitation,
and hope by to-morrow's sun he will be as
far from The Dalles as the east is from the
west.
In the East End, in the neighborhood OF
the wool warehouses, there are lively times
almost every hour of the day. The stock
yards of Mr.. r. E. Saltmarshe are fire.
quently full of cattle, ready for ship
ment east or to the sound, and the long |
line of wool wagons from the inte-
rior waiting to be unloaded, adds animation |
to the scene. During the last two years
this suburb has added all the adjuncts OF a
barber shop, saloons,
stores. blacksmith shops and livery stables.
In the future we expect this East End to
be the manufacturing and mechanical part
Of The Dalles.
