It was easy for them TO make this bold

This new Governor was strolling one day
through the gloomy old archives when IL
suddenly struck him that there was some
thing quite unusual about the appearance
of the books In which the royal grants of
Titles were recorded. He examined them
more closely and discovered not only nu-

after Gar Solomon had ceased TO be ruler

duly recorded in the archives at Kuka!s.
The forged document arrived by the next
mail and the Governor examined Il. He
speedily came to the conclusion that Car

with the police of ST. Petersburg. telling
them of his discovery, and suggesting that

FORGING TITLES IN RUSSIA-POLICE

The European nobility has Just received a
severe shock through the news which has

A VISITOR.

We had a most pleasant caller last week from Taku glacier, a distance of about 30 miles, in the shape of an ice berg. which lodged on the beach just below the sawmill. In size it was near ly as large as a small island. Much in
 terest was manifested by the people of Douglas City in various ways. No one passed by without stopping to look at it, and quite number helped them selves by slicing off it's massive body generous quantities of this refreshing congelation and carrying it away in gunny sacks, wheelbarrows, wagons and boats. Everybody was welcome to it, notwithstanding someone had made show of pre-emption by fastening it to a small rock on the shore with the aid of piece of rope. This was sup posed to constitute legal possession. Perhaps though, on further considera- tion, we may believe this was only precautionary measure taken to pre- vent it's floating away with the tide. Rev. Replogle took advantage of the occasion to bring his camera into requisition and secure some fine views. His first shot took in MT. Jones and his team and wagon, with MT. Archer in the rear. The next was group at va rious stations on the berg, composed of Mrs. Replogle and her children, Ernie and Delvert, Misses Jennie and Mida Lawrence, MT. and Mrs. Harvey, Mrs. Day, Annie Rake, MT. Annett and MT. and Mrs. Weesner. Next came the two Frank James,, standing side by side, on it's top. One of the Franks was much larger than the other muscularly, but in feeling I presume the smaller was the greater. To try the effects of this frozen material, through the kindness of the Mission people and Mrs, Harvey, we were invited to an ice cream dinner, which was most delightful, and the oc- easion decidedly pleasant. 2.
