A general election was held in
Canada this week for the selection
of a new parliament. The Con-
servatives, the party now in power,
were defeated. The victorious
Liberals favor lesser tart if and re-
trenchment and reform. 1t is fear
ed that the new party will oppose
granting a subsidy to the Crows
Nest Pass road in which the Koo
tenay is much interested. Hewitt
Bostock, Liberal, defeated John
Andrew Mara, Con sentative, in
Kootenay. Mr.. Mara has repre-
sented Kootenay for many years,
He is interested in the G. & K. S.
N. Co. Mr.. Bostock is a young man
just entering politices. He is said
to have an income of 100000 a
year.

1t seems that the next thing in
order will be forest fires. The air
is already very smokey and if the
dry weather continues some great
fires will rage. The hills are full
of prospectors who will, sometimes,
start fires to burn off the foliage so
that they can prospect to better ad-
vantage. A fire that gets out in
this dry weather means a fearful
blaze.

TAKING HIS LIFE.

A lste insurance agent. Benjamin
Gunn, heard that old Bromley had
no insurance upon his life, so Gum
determined to drop in and see him
Bromley had no acquaintance with
Gum, and when the latter entered
the office, he introduced himself by
saying
''Mr Bromley, called to see it |
could take your life
"Wh-wh what dyou say?" ex-
claimed Bromley, in some alarm.
Il say that have come around to
take your life. My name is Gum.
As soon as | heard you were unpro-
tected that you had nothing on your
life. thought would just run in
and settle the matter at once"
Then Bromley got up and went 10
the other side of the table, and said to
himself:
by George, its lunatic who has
broken out of the asylum. He'll kill
me If holler or run. | must humor
him."
Then Gum fumbled in his pocket
after his mortality tables, followed
Brombly round the room, and said to
him
"You can choose your own plan
YOU know. It's immaterial to me.
Some like one, aud some like another
It's matter OF taste. Which do you
