Good Advice

From time to time we hear the wall Of
some disgruntled farmer who under the
impression thas he works harder and gets
less returns for his labor than the resident
in cities, expresses a wish to exchange his
let on the farm for the fancied benefits Of
city life.
Were it possible TO have his wish graft
fed there are thousands Of citizens who
would gladly exchange with him, but it is
very doubtful if either would really benefit
by the change The farmer, removed to
a city, would hnd il almost as much soil
tude as would the city dweller if removed
to the country; both would be out of their
element as to occupations, the compare
lively sedentary life led by the citizen would
soon impair the health Of the farm-bred
man, while the townsman, as a rule, would
for long time be unable to cope with the
severe labor that is necessary on the farm.
Farmers longing for life in the city
really do not know what they are wishing
for The comparison between the farmer
condition and that of the average citizen is
well put in the following case taken from
the Farmers Guide
"A man on good quarter section of
land was complaining because he had not
made anything the past year, and ex-
pressed regret that his brother, who was
clerk in a town bank at a salary of 5000
year, was so much better off than he
was A friend did little figuring for him
and easily proved that he was all wrong in
his conclusions. 1t figured out something
ike this
1.-The bank clerk got 5000, cut of
which he had to pay $3.50 for house rent,
leaving 1920 with which to meet all the
other many expenses Of living for himself,
wife and three children. He really had
hard work to make both ends meet The
brother on the farm had his house rent,
the best board for himself wife and three
children and wife, mother, their clothing
and all household comforts There was
new $500 barn which had been built;
there were ten head more cattle, thirty
more hogs and three more colts than year
previous, a new surrey in the barn and
$3.50 worth of new machinery, all either
produced on the farm or paid for from the
products raised on the farm during the
year. Hold on, said the farmer, Il see
that am an old fool.

Ice Jam At Niagara And American
Falls Dry.

NIAGARA PALLs. March % Owing
to the immense fields Of ice that gathered
on the rocks above Goat Island, the Amer
lean fall at Niagara was practically dry to-
day, aud for the first time in fifty five
years residents and visitors have viewed a
truly wonderful spectacle
Within the last few days the wind drove
the Lake Erie ice field into Buffalo harbor
and the entrance to Niagara, and great
foes came down the stream to the falls
The river Is so wide at the upper rapids
that it has many shallow places, and here
the ice lodged, causing jam that shut of
the water from the American channel
Throughout the day thousands Of PEG
pie have hunted for relics and souvenirs
about reefs that human feet never before
touched The American fall could have
been crossed at the brink by men with
high boots, and great rocks never before
seen were visible. The Horseshoe Fall
was not affected as much as the American.
The river bed in the vicinity of the Three
Sister Islands was quite dry, and the cen
tire fall, between Goat and Luna Islands,
was skeleton of itself The present con-
dition is likely to last several days.

THEY'RE Afer Him.

J. Bragdon. alias j. Black, who is now
at Rossland, b. c.. under confinement
is wanted very badly by the officers of
this county under double charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses
and purloining an overcoat from Lewis
the wrestler. Sheriff Grants recent
trip to Northport failed to accomplish
its object, as Bragdon was in Canadian
territory, and refused to cross the line
Upon investigation it was decided that
under the treaty it would be a difficult
matter to extradite the culprit, but it
seems that Canada has law providing
a severe penalty for carrying stolen
goods into that territor7, and Bragdon
will be given the benefit. With this
idea in view Prosecuting Attorney Guth-
RE and Deputy Sheriff Edwards, ac-
companied by Lewis and Mrs. Mobley as
witnesses, left for Rossland Sunday
night, and the case will be tried under
Canadian law. 1t is said that penalty
vi SiA .SaiS 10 pioNiotu ioi INC oiChoe
in that country, and it may be that his
refusal to return here with the sheriff
will result more disastrously for him
than trial here under the charges
made.
Sheriff Grant had Bragdon arrested
by the Canadian authorities when he
refused to return here without extradi-
ton papers, and returning home laid
the matter before the county commits
sioners and prosecuting attorney, from
whom he received carte blame to 90 ahead
in the matter After ascertaining that
the offense charged was not eXtradita-

don could be severely dealt with in Can
ada. and the above delegation went up
to Rossland to press the matter.
