THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
An Important and Interesting Event
for Henderson.


May the 18th will be the Inaugural
ton OF an event Of more than usual
interest in Henderson. 1t will be the
meeting of the Episcopal Convention,
to which reference has already been
made. Such an occasion cannot fail
to awaken lively interest on the
part OF all our people without regard
to UNCONVENTIONAL lines. and Hender-
son folks, proverbial for hospitality
to the "stranger within their gates"
will vie with each other in entertain
ing the visitors.
A large attendance is expected,
some of the most distinguished mem
bers Of the clergy and prominent
laymen being among the number.
AS to the ladies they need no qualify
ing terms. TO say there will be
many of them present is assurance
that the Convention will be looked
forward to all the more eagerly and
the pleasure OF entertaining our
guests greatly heightened thereby.
In addition to the Convention the
Brotherhood Of st. Andrew and the
Woman's Auxiliary will meet at the
same time. This may give some idea
of the number of delegates and other
visitors that will be here. They
must all be entertained. And they
will be entertained, for Henderson
has never failed to meet any demand
made upon her.
Let US surpass our efforts of nine
years ago, when the Episcopal Con-
vention met here, at which time the
visitors went away singing the
praises of Henderson and expressing
themselves as delighted with the hos
Pitality of Henderson people.

IN PEACE RIVER COUNTRY
Fine Opportunities for Yankees
With a Little Capital.
GOLD IN THE STREAMS
The Englishmen Are Kind and Sociable,
but They Don't Know How to Work
Like the Yankees - That Is
Jef Davis Opinion.

Great Falls, Aug. 22-Jef Davis, who
formerly resided at Havre. but who is
now exploring the Peace River country.
writes the following letter to a friend
at his old home. 1t is dated at Cool
rane. N. w. T.. on Aug. s. n reads
as follows:
Il have been 100 miles north of the
Peace river this summer and the files
and mosquitoes are immense. There is
no game In this country except bear
and a few fish, but you can find gold
in nearly all of the streams north of
here. but it is very fine. We are max
ing S. a day working for a man l00
miles north of here, and we have two
good leads ourselves, one of tin and
the other of quicksilver. A Yankee
with 81, 900 Of 81, 500 could make money
on any of the rivers. This is a good
country to live in, lots Of good land,
lots of grass and lots of as fine people
as n ever met. 1t is q mistake 70
think that this country is settled up
with half-breeds and Indians. The
English people are sociable, kind and
generous, and j ave lever received
better treatment anywhere than here.
They are nearly all we'll fixed, have
good ranches and are well stocked, but
wages are lower here. But the people
do not know what work is. A Mon
tana man will do more work in one
day h an Englishman can do in a
week."
