Wise People Who Hit the Edmonton
Trail to the KIondike.

10 tne
Great Falls, Feb. 14.-In November a
party composed of Charles and A. II.
Griffin, Forbes Groat and Neil Mar
shall left Edmonton for the Yukon over
the Mackenzie river trail This week
Mrs. Charles Griffin received letter
from her husband, who, with a party,
has reached Fort Resolution, where
they are all wintering. AS the letter
is the first one from any who are now
attempting the Edmonton trail, and as
il contains much that is of value to flu
ture travellers over the trail, it is given
in full.
Mr. Griffin states that he encountered
bad weather. snoWstorms and head
winds, after leaving Fort Chipewyan,
and on account of the water being SO
low they were continually getting
aground on sand bars. They and
Langworthy's party were travelling
along together At one time they We're
caught in snow and wind-storm on the
river and had considerable difficulty in
reaching the shore, but at last succeed
ed AT the Smith portage they were
delayed a week before they could get
their goods and boat portrayed
over, as all the oxen here were
engaged in getting the outfits of two
other parties over the portage. They
eventually got their boat and cargo
over and started down the river again,
reaching the mouth OF 9eaCe river on
Great Slave lake on the afternoon of
the 9th of October. In trying to get
Into the lake they struck sandbars and
were compelled to unload half their
cargo and cross over light and return
for the balance. By this means they
reached Resolution. There was then
six inches of snow on the ground,
which was frozen hard. Mr.. Griffin
says: I'VE made inquiries as to the
advisability of trying to get across the
lake, but the people at the fort, and
especially Maggie. advised us not TO
attempt it. There was then ABOUT two
or three inches of ice on the lake near
the shore The next day the people at
the fort were skating on the lake.
There were two boats here just cou-
pie of days before we arrived. They
had started across, but Maggie said that
they would not be able to reach the
other side as they would encounter
drift ice, which they could not possibly
get through. and they would be Obliged
TO winter on one of the islands in the
middle of the lake. We made several
attempts ourselves. but each time We
were obliged to turn back on account
of the ice. We finally decided TO un-
load our boats and remain here Tor the
present. Our original landing place
here was too much exposed to the
weather. and we had to move 10 more
sheltered place. We unloaded the boat
and put our goods under shelter and
pitched our tent. Luckily we mad q
camp stove with us, which we put up II
the tent. and managed to keep our
selves warm, as the weather got cold

Good House Points.

Don't put borders on the carpets of
hall rooms
Don't buy anything merely because it
is fashionable See that it is good and
suitable
Don't have patterned wall pa
per in a small room or deep border
when the ceiling is low.
There is said to be nothing better for
a burn than to battle it with strong
solution of carbonate of soda.
To prevent flies from alighting on
picture frames or chandeliers rub lit
tie oil of lavender on them.
Don't use decided patterns for uphol-
stery if you have already done so on
your walls and floor coverings
To take oil stains out of carpets
make a paste with fuller's earth and
cold water. spread thickly on the soiled
parts of the carpet, let it dry and then
remove with stiff brush.

CIothespfn Apron.

A cIothespin apron is great con-
Venience in putting clothes on the line
as well as taking them off. Take stout
ticking or table oil-cloth and make
like a short apron with deep pockets.
Put a band on it with button and but
tonhole, and when you go to hang up
the clothes put the apron on and you
will have the pins just where you can
reach them easily. Be sure to make
the band long enough and with several
buttonholes, so when husband or son
brings in the clothes for you it will be
the fit for them as well as yourself.

Something valuable has appeared in
the way of new time spoon. There

THE TRAMWAYS COMPANY.

The Tramways Company tells the
Minister of the Interior that:
Being DESTROYS of exercising the
right of doubling it's track on certain
of the streets" etc. it now asks the ap-
prevail of the Executive Council before
laying the additional track.
The Government, instead of APPROX
ing or Disappearing of the application,
has agreed to refer the matter to the
Supreme Court for a determination Of
the rights of the parties.
As the matter will be definitely de-
cided by the Court in a short time, any
opinion by lawyer or layman regard
ing the right claimed by the Company
is of no consequence. 1t is possible
that the language used in the acts
granting privileges to this company
may be SO. broad as to cover the claim
now made, after a long period, Of right
to lay double tracks in several streets.
If it is. and the Court so decides, there
is an end of the matter. Any impair
ment of the vested rights of the COM
pany will not be permitted by the
Court, even if public opinion demand
ed it, 1t is of more consequence that
the law. whatever it is, should be en-
forced than that any rights improv-
identity given to the company by the
Government in the past should be dis
turbed. This community may have to
suffer as numerous other communities
have suffered from unwise legislation.
The Tramways Company has-and it
is the general opinion-entirely forfeit
ed the good will of The people, by ne
glecting to give them a good and rea-
sonable service. For this there has
been no excuse. The company, how
ever. may not hold the good will of
the public to be valuable asset. Few
corporations do, unless they have some
special use for the public.
The fanchise granted to the Rapid
Transit Company is really the protest
of the people against a miserable ser
vice. which prevents the expansion of
the city, and the building of new res
licences in the outlying districts. If
the Tramways Company have the law
with them, they may laugh at this pro
test. If they have not, the protest will
be a serious one. The Court will set
tie the matter.
The issue now before the Court is
whether under existing laws the Min
lister of the Interior, has or has not
the right to grant to the Tramways
Company the right to lay double
track.
If he has, the question will then
arise. in a later proceeding, whether
he should grant the right asked for.

THE YEGETARIANS.

..Vegetarians came out ahead in recent
100 lnometre ga miles, walking match at
Berlin with time limit OF eighteen
bours out of twenty-five competitors
eight of them vegetarians, only six, all
veeetarians, covered the distance IN the
time specified, the winner finishing IN
fourteen hours and quarter. The other
two vegetarians lost their way and walk
ed FIVE miles extra, but came in next
followed after an hours interval by the
only meat eater that completed the
course. The others all dropped out be
fore covering half the distance.
Items like the foregoing appear from
time to time in the press, and set the
yegetarians and the ants by the
ears.
AS the diet is admitted to have de-
cided influence on the health, it mere
w shows how crude the worlds
thought is, when it has not made the
diet a close scientific study in the uni
versities or laboratories. Men Will run
all over the world for a rare bug. Large
sums of money are spent in collecting
heather idols Expensive conserYa-
tories are erected to please the eye. In
the mean time, some millions Of human
beings in the United States alone are
in physical misery, because their food
does not agree with them, and they are
utterly bewildered by the angry dis
putes over the food question. The plan
of taking a certain number OF men and
women, putting them in certain con-
ditions as subjects, experimenting
with their food, exercise and clothing,
is vet to be thoroughly tried. How far
the tests we quote may settle the ques-
