ing Klondiker who reached Nanaimo
last week had little idea of the amount
-of trouble that could be caused by one
Malamute dog in a civilized commu-
nifty. Early Saturday morning the dog
got loose. Before he was recaptured
Sunday he had killed and partly de-
voured 1O9 fowls, scattered through
nearly twenty henhouses of Nanaimo.
Saturday forenoon the Nanaimo po-
lice received notice that some marauder
had been killing chickens by the whole
sale. These reports soon became fire.
quent and all day Saturday remained
unexplained Sunday morning the
mystery of the long series of tragedies
was cleared up by the capture of the
malefactor in the act. In Duncan
Stewards henhouse the dog was quietly
devouring q hen.
A trail of blood leading through sew
eral streets and alleys had caused the
citizens TO suppose murder had been
committed. Investigation showed the
source Of the trouble. The owner OF
the dog has promised to settle by pay
ing for the 100 fowls.

Quebec. Nov. 12.-The Alaska bound
airy quarrel lends a very much greater
interest in the eyes of the Canadians 10
the Dominion government expedition
to the Hudson Bay than was ever ex-
peeted when the EXPLORATION was
equipped and dispatched to the far
north. 1t is more than ever question
now with Canadians how far the year

craft may have laid the foundation for
a valid claim on the part of the Unitea
States.
The expedition will rehoist the Brit

away to the confines of the Arctic
ocean itself. 1t viii also close the IN

Baffin Land to the Yukon. but hitherto
has done little or nothing to make good
her title and is now endeavoring to re-

ton arises.
There is undoubtedly a kind OF pan

that the recent victory of American
diplomacy in the Alaskan matter may
embolden the republic 10 attempt to
hem in the Dominion on almost every
side. The renewal OF the Blaine-B Bond
treaty between the United States and
Newfoundland is interpreted as a
movement toward annexation, and the
possible purchase OF Greenland from
Denmark is viewed with no little
alarm.
1t is but natural that the Canadians
view the unparalleled progress of the
United States with Jealous eyes. feel
ing that 1t is time to assert themselves
and take care of Canada's great inter-
ests which she considers England is
inclined to neglect. The Canadians
have never before been so alert, ag-
gressive and independent as at this
time. They are now taking great pride
in Canada and seem to fully appreciate
her great possibilities. Canada has
within her borders almost unlimited
natural resources and two Of the most
important necessities OF any nation

her people). are iron and coal. Canada
now finds that she has what are prac-
tical!y unlimited deposits of coal IN

found to be of thn most important OF
our continent. While they have such
neormous coal deposits, they are also
finding in Cape Breton and elsewhere

both coal ana iron-she can. from her

further her progress and make her still
