TRAMWAY FROM LIME
CURRY TO SMfLTfR

from an official source, that the
smelling company has within the
past two weexs signed contracts with
Idsno mine owners for enough copper
aud gold ore to alone test the utmost
capacity OF the local plant. This
fact, taken In conjunction with !he
fact that Sumpter district mines are
shipping steadily increasing ton
mage, leads to a belief that another
stack will shortly be added to the
smsitsr, thereby doubling Its 'cspsC:
ity.
As an evidence OF the terrible con-
dillon of the road between the lime
quarry and the smelter, 1t might be
mentioned, that the, other day the
management sent crew OF men to
repair ths>road In temporary shape
to haul enough lime to reopen the
plant. Corduroy was placed along
the worst stretches of the road and a
six-hore team started with the first
load. Before the distance could be
covered 1t became necessary to
abandon the wagon. The axle, be-
meath heavy load sank so deep that
the newiy-isid curduroy was torn
out. Until the ground either freezes
soiid or until the mud dries up, IL 10
believed impossible to effect repairs.
The tramway will be on the grav.
ity plan.

This shortage is caused by the almost
impossible condition of the short
stretch OF wagon road between the

mated that the cost of transporting
lime rock from the quarry to the
smelling stack approximstes 5000

The Dutch language does not seem
now at very high premium in the
opinion of the heads Of families in
South Africa. A petition was recently
presented to the board of manage
ment Of the Kimberley high schools
In favor of the teaching of Dutch to
the pupils attending these schools. In
order to ascertain the views of those
most concerned the board sent out a
circular to 444 parents. requesting
those who were desirous OF Dutch be-
ing taught during school hours as
part of the ordinary curriculum to
write to the board, stating their wish.
Only twenty. however, were anxious
that Dutch should be SO treated. and
these twenty parents represented
only thirty-six children out of a total
of 775 attending the high schools.

Owing to the great amount of in

about the great emigration from pOr.

The Canadian government has au.

letter copied from the North Bend

Americans who have made Canada
their home during the past seven or
eight years:

to know how we have progressed this

we have had delightful season.

and all vegetables adapted to the eli.

but no exception to the rule, as the
fall season Is. think. the most pleas
ant Of the year. We have had no
snow yet Nov. 81, and have been
plOwing and working the land prepar-
Ing for an early seeding next spring.
Last night the mercury dropped lower
than any previous night this fall and
this morning there Is crust OF frost
on the fields sufficient to prevent field
work. No doubt many would imagine
that Alberta had put on her winter
Overcoat before this and that the peo.
pie were wrapped In furs, but It Is
only question OF time when this
country will not be looked upon as an
iceberg, but a country fit for the best
of mankind to live in.
I'VE are now assured Of trans.
continental railway, which is to be
built to the Pacific during the next
five years. The Canadian Northern
road Is graded to within seventy-fve
miles of Edmonton. 1t comes from
Winnipeg. and will reach us next sum.
mer, SO with one railroad already at
hand. the second to reach us in less
than year, and the third to penetrate
our city and open up this country to
the west across the Rockies to the
coast within five years, we surely have
reason to believe that the country Is
progressing.
