CARIBOU OF NEWFOUNDLAND

TENDER.

The great caribou herds OF Newfoundland
migrate sem-annually, and no one but an
actual witness OF these migrations can
form any adequate conception of the mar
velous number of deer which the island
contains.
II is estimated that the number which
crossed the Exploits river at one point
during ten days in the autumn of last year
exceeded 1900. The crossing ground is only
one OF scores OF similar trails.

TOBACCO MONOPOLY HARD HIT
Attempts TO StFanRIe Competition
Condemned by supreme Court
of Massachusetts.

The supreme court of Massachusetts, has
hit the Tobacco trust a body blow. 1t
has declared constitutional and not in con-
fiict with any federal statutes a statute
passed by the legislature Of Massachusetts,
for the protection of traders" Under
this statute, in brief, no person, Arm, cor
poraton or association of persons doing
business within the state may make a con-
dtion of sales that the purchaser shall
not handle the goods OF other dealers. II a
retailer can buy one article TO advantage
from one manufacturer or distributor and
another to advantage elsewhere he cannot
be refused the privilege
In the particular case before the court
it was proved that the Continental Tobacco
company offered a rebate OF per cent on
plug tobacco to the retail dealers who
agreed to handle no other make OF tobacco
than that OF the company referred to. II
was proved that the conditions OF the
trade were such that this per cent rebate
made a vital difference to dealers: that in
1904 IS per cent OF the plug tobacco and
so per cent of the cut plug tobacco in
Massachusetts, were handled by the COM

was created which might reasonably he

OF the necessaries OF life. but it's use is so
common that 20 many persons II seems
almost as necessary as food. The poor,

The voice Of the Californian was heard

called upon the nations OF the earth 10

 Pastor Holford then made reply Tn few we'll chosen words which were ap- preciated by all.
 The evening was spent in songs, quartettes and recitations.
 The oldest member of Rev. Holford's undemoninational midweek Bible class secured good substantial cash sub scription which was also presented to the pastor and his wife.
 All were reals glad to take part in pounding the parson.

THE POUNDED PARsoN

Rev. D. HoIford, B. D., Pastor of the First Congregational church was the most surprised individual on the Is- land, last Wednesday evening, Feb. IA.
 While he was at a neighbor's house admistering the ordinance of baptism to child, the members and friends of his congregation, numbering over one hundred, besides quite few of the Sunday school scholars gathered in the church awaiting his coming.
 On his arrival he was invited into the church, when it was evident his surprise could be better imagined than expressed. At this time the Sunday school superintendent MT. Alfred Will Hams, announced Hymn No. 339, "Come ye that love the Lord, and let pour joys be known, join in song of sweet accord and thus surround the throne; we're marching on to Zion, beautiful, Zion, the beautiful city of God" All present took part in the singing of this hymn, which was sung most heartily.
 At the close of the song pr. l. H.. Moore was called upon to explain to Rev. Holford the nature of this gather ing. The Doctor cheerfully complied and said in part:
 Reverend, we meet here this evening for the express purpose of congratulat- ing you upon the success of your first year as Pastor of this church. This be- ing Valentines Day and the day on which you and your family arrived on this Island a year ago, take great pleasure in presenting you this large gathering of friends as your Valentine in Douglas. AS people we have not failed to note your strong individuali- ty, your fidelity to conviction, your sterling manhood, your scholarly at tainments and the masterly manner in | which you handled some of the most vexed questions of the day. You have thereby won our respect, our confi- dence, our we'll wishes and our love. As, therefore, we meet at this time to celebrate the anniversary of your first year with us, may your stay in Doug las be long and your work altogether

THE NATAToRIUM

It is certainly good news to the peo- pie of Douglas that the control of the Natatorium has passed into the hands of the city. Besides the splendid hall which is so convenient for all public entertainments, this building has a large swimming pool which can be filled with either fresh or salt water. In addition to this, private and shower baths can be provided at very little ex- pense.
 For some time past this popular in- stitution has fallen into disuse, chiefly because of an uncer tainty as to owner ship and lack of careful management. When it was running at full swing 1t was a resort for the people of the whole Island that was enjoyed and ap- preciated. Both young and old found here amusements to their liking and the building resounded with shouts and laughter. There is no doubt that the lessons learned in the swimming pool, were most valuable at the time of the wharf accident, and saved many lives of the children.
 Under the management of the city council we hope to see this institution placed on better footing than ever before, and quite as generally patroniz- ed. Already large boiler has been arranged for. As soon as this is in- stalled it will provide plenty of steam for thoroughly heating the main hall for all purposes, and also for operat- ing the sea pump and warming the water for bathing. This pump alone is of value, as it can be used in case of fire to for ce water to any part of the city.
 In this region, where there is so much dampness, an institution of this kind is made all the more necessary that the children especially may have chance to let their muscles have full play.
