Wild Horses in British Columbia.

In an area of about fifteen miles square
below Trout creek there is estimated to
be band of at least 700 wild horses,
which are not only eating off the range,
but becoming a more direct source of
loss to stock owners. As an instance of
this it may be mentioned that mare
belonging to George Barclay and valued
at $3.50, together with a valuable filly,
were enticed into the band recently.
The government, SO far, though sew
eral times petitioned, seems indisposed
to tackle the wild horse question or give
permission to settlers to shoot down
these miserable cayuses, thinking that
they are all claimed by the Indians.
The Indians, however, are as much in
jured by them as the whites, and fire.
quently shoot them down, though GER
tainly claiming some among them. All
false sentiment should be put aside in a
case of this kind and permission given
for general roundup by both whites
and Indians, to take place at stated
date. If this is allowed the wild horse

An additional evidence of the fact that
the Worlds fair management intends
that every interest shall be adequately
represented may be found in the recent
appointment of Mrs. A. NJ. Curtis. a
colored woman, of Chicago, to the
secretaryship of the committee having
in charge all exposition matters bearing

These sections are big, solid rings,
made of the best iron and steel, which
are so constructed that they can be fitted
together Theoretically before the final
completion of the tunnel. One ring after
the other is driven into the earth, while
contrivances particularly prepared for
this purpose haul away the dirt and
sand as if some magical power were at
work. Thick external and internal lay
ers Of cement protect the metal, all of
which will constitute mighty structure
against which all the powers of the I'M
derworld will not be able to prevail.
Two tunnels will be laid, with a single
track in each, so as as to avoid all posi-
bic danger of collisions. As to elevated
roads, the Berliners will not listen to the
proposition, as they want privacy in
their homes and quiet both at home and
cafe, and maybe they are right.

Poverty as a Menace on Society.

Col. Ingersoll, in his great ad'
dress before the New York State
Bar Association, said: "As long
as children are raised in tenements
and cutters, the prisons will be
full; the gulf between the rich and
poor will grow wider. One will
depend ON cunning, the other on
force. 1t Is a great question
whether those who live in luxury
can afford to allow others to exist
in want. The value of property
depends not on the prosperity OF
the few but on the prosperity OF
a very large majority. Life and
property must be secure, or that
subtle thing called 'value' takes
its leave. The poverty ofthe many
is a perpetual menace. If we ex'
pect prosperous and peaceful
country the citizens must have
homes. The more homes the more
patriots, the more virtue, the more
security for all that gives worth
to life. The more real education
the less crime, and the more homes
the fewer prisons"

Sugar From Corn CObs.

We have all head. said a west.
ern man the other day, of how
corn is used under certain condi-
tions for fuel, and l believe that
the time is coming when people
will be able to live almost exclus-
lively on corn products. The lat
est triumph in this direction that
has cone to my notice is nothing
less than the manufacture of imi.
tation maple syrup and sugar from
corn cobs. Where corn is raised
in large quantities, the cobs are
looked on as a nuisance and / i'm
agine they could be bought by the
carload at very small price. If,
however, this latest development
becomes a success, the figure is
likely to rise rapidly. If it has been
boiled long enough, a liquid IS OBJ.
tanned which by adding a very
small portion of sugar becomes al
most as palatable as maple syrup
and which can be evaporated into
something which would pass as
very average maple sugar. With
corn capable of producing bread,
starch, oil, sugar and a dozen other
articles, the idea oft being sold
under any conditions as low as 20
cents bushel seems idiotic. 1t
ought to be worth almost it's
weight in gold.
