privilege of raising this to $4,000
Half of the stock has already been
taken. Byron D. Clark, who has just
been appointed Commissioner of Agfi-
culture, is at the head of the enter
prise and his plans are alrady definite
ly settled. To the % acres he has al
ready obtained, Mr. Clark intends to
add other land, some of which will be
in the mountains. Business will be
transacted on a large scale and the
products from the various places of
the company will be sent to a whole
sale and retail store in town, which it
is proposed to erect as soon as matters
are in working order. Foreign and
native fruits and vegetables will be
raised both for the home market and

have charge of the sales department.
The latter is likewise a practical man

1t will not be long before other eX-
perienced men will arrive from the
States to take charge of the various
departments of the company which is
so soon to be incorporated
Mr.. Clark has gone about the mat
ter in a most systematic manner. He
sees the advantage of having men tried
in the work and has gone in for that.
When everything is in working order
there will be a specially adapted man
at the head of each department. Said
Mr.. Clark: Il came here to locate and
I mean to make this my home. There
is money in the business and in a few
years you will see business of gigan-
tic proportions"

Don't Always Shake Hands.

When TO shake hands and when MT
to shake hands are questions frequent
ly asked. The subject is a many-sided
one and cannot be disposed of bv a
yea or nay, or any hard and fast rule.
1T is a trite saying that circumstances
alter cases. and yet the adage exactly
applies to the matter in hand. as #
entirely depends upon the circum-
stances whether a hand be extended ar
a bow given.
The difficulty of not knowing whether
~ SHAKE hands or not arises when
nrst ln~troductions are made, and again
at subsequent meetings between wom-
en- but recently introduced to zach 9TH
er, on many other like occasions
such as when strangers are brought in
contact with each other when stayinp
IN a country house together, or at aft
ernoon parties, dinner parties, and so
on.
Ihls question of When to shake hands
wholly relates to the foregoing situa-
tons, and is outside of the handshakino
customary between friends, to which
no reference need be made, as they
shake hands with each other on meet
ing as a matter of course, and again
on parting, with this reservation. that

HAMLI Garland's Trip to the Klondike
Hamlin Garland, poet, novelist, and
since April last a Klondike gold hunter,
who braved the horrors of both the
"back-door route" to Alaska and the
Chilkoot Pass, has reached Chicago and
is reaccustoming himself to civilization
at his house, While he is waiting for
news of strikes on his Atlin Lake
claims and preparing to complete the
American novel and the book of verse
interrupted by his journey after gold
and new literary material. His faith
full %broncho, that carried his camp out
fit through a frightful journey of 1000
in the peaceful meadows al West Sa-
lem, Wis, where bats are 20 cents a
bushel instead Of 20 cents a pound.
Mr.. Garland reached Chicago three
days ago from Seattle. But few of his
friends know of his arrival. Last night
he was a guest at dinner with Israel
Zangwill at the residence of Israel
Gown, 3216 South Park avenue, and it
was to the Jewish writer, and after
wards to a reporter for the Chicago
Tribune that Mr.. Garland wildly de-
scribed his experiences, which he means
to turn into sketches n stories.
QUEST OF WILDNESS STATED
Il took the trip as a vacation.
wanted to see the widest part of North
America, and l found it.. 1t was fully
up to expectations" Mr.. Garland said.
Il left West Salem, where my parents
i've, early last April with a college
chum, Burton Babcock. Both of us
had 'roughed it in the Rockies every
summer and we thought we knew what
there was of bad country.
We went from West Salem to Ash
croft, b. c., where we QUILTED and
prepared to start overland !, 1000 miles to
the Stikine River, intending to go to
lake Teslin. We took fiv horses and
all the outfit that our experience in
the mountains a taught us was nee
essary. We calculated on finding an
arid country, but instead we travelled
through a flood.
1T didn't rain for the first few days
or the LOO miles, but when it began to
come down it poured steadily. There
was no bottom to the trail. There were
streams where the maps said there was
none and no streams where they should
have been. The country has never been
surveyed except by guess. The rivers
were swollen, and it was constant risk
OF our lives to cross most Of them.
All along those ], 600 miles were men
pound, ike US, for Lake Teslin. Some
were without provisions. One of our
five bronchos died from eating poison
Gus grass. The others were sick. We
learned that n nan who started out
with 25 horses lost them all.
