One rarely returns to camp without
being vaguely depressed. Liberty is a
city of siience--a silence that pervades
the burial of the dead and hovers omi-

Undaunted by the Nemesis which
threatens them, many of the Piney

have married. Marriage. though, is

GOVERNMENT ROAD PAYS.

Dr. William Henry Drummond, n
physician of Montreal, but poet and
historian OF the habitaut and voya-
geur to all mankind, was staying at
the Hotel Empire last week, on his
way to be the guest of honor at the
annual banquet of the American Peri
odiCal Publishers association. He has
interesting data ON government-owned
railroads.
Il am far from being Il believer in
the truth OF socialistic doctrines" said
DIR. Drummond, but the experience
of the Temiskaming and Northern
ontario railroad has seriously shaken
my beliefs. That road has been con-
structed and is being operated entire
ly at the expense of the provincial
government, and 1t has been immense
ly profitable from the first.
without question the future of our
province of ontario is now assured,
owing to the recent discovery of large
deposits of high grade domestic coal
on the line of the Temiskaming and
Northern ontario railroad, $50 miles
of which was constructed in the fall
of 1904. The road runs from North
bay, point upon the Canadian Pa
cific railway, in a northerly direction,
opening up a region known as the
cobalt district. One hundred miles
more of this road will bring the line
to James bay, on Hudson bay. The
district tapped is very rich in silver,
copper and other minerals, and pros
pectors and settlers are hurrying into
the region by the thousands"
For many years DIR. Drummond has
been an explorer of this country, and
it is from this locality he has obtain
ed the types he has embodied in his
well-known works.

way are owned and operated by the

THE FOURTH IN HISTORY.

The Fourth Of July, ever since that
memorable date in 20. has been an
important day in the history Of this
country. The adoption Of the Declar-

can history.

occurred on July 4th are the capture
of Forty Fort and the continuation
of the horrible Wyoming Valley mas

dent Washington Of the first revenue

There is really some demand after all
for the presence of mine host. Stock
companies may own and control the
hostelries that entertain man and beast
while hired managers perform the duties
that formerly fell on the shoulders of
the bustling landlord who used to feel
personally responsible for the comfort
of every guest. The reputation of his
house and his prosperity depended ex-
actly on the degree to which he satisfied
those who threw themselves on his hos
pitality. His personality thus became
the central figure of the establishment
about which the rest of its life revolved.
When his inn was incorporated, syndi-
Gated or otherwise merged, the tradi-
tional responsibilities of the landlord
were stretched over more shoulders.
Expert substitutes were engaged, and
it seemed as if there was no more need
for the ~innkeeper. Every theory of
political economy that proved the value
and irresistible influence of corporation
tendencies pointed to the greater
advantage Of the hired manager and
emphasized the uselessness Of the
traditional host.
Most of the large hotels in London
and Paris, and some in this city, are
owned and controlled by companies and
managed by the men they hire. The
system has been 80 successful that it is
accepted as the inevitable result of
present commercial tendencies. These
companies are able to build and maintain
finer hotels than individual enterprise
would ever attempt. They are less
necessary in New York when men of
great wealth consider the building of a
hotel as a very profitable means of
investing their millions.
Yet, in spite of the passing of the old
fashioned landlord, there remains the
desire to see the man behind the hospi-
talities that the guest is to receive.
Even to behold him gives q r~eassurinR
