other part of it was Miss Eunice Irwin. q
girl of - or more, whose delicate, grace

in black, and / learned that her mother,
the last of her relatives, had died within
the year. This explained her sadness and
aloofness, her Indifference TO the other
guests, and few of us attempted to in
trude upon her forlorn mood. Only her
violin could rouse her to a kind of arid
pleasure. and We learned that she was

lsadora Duncan, the a Francisco
classic dancer, has divided Berlin into two
warning factions. Her classic dances are
modelled essentially Oh the poses of the
dancing girls of ancient Greece. AT every
big social function given in Berlin tn.
leading question of the hour was what
is Your opinion of The Duncan?'" Th.
fact that her adherence to the Greek form
of dancing robe caused her to appear OF
the stage with bare feet, brought her tn.
deep condemnation of the conservative
burg and earned her the sobriquet o.,
THE Bare-Footed Dancer
But Miss Duncan has become the craze
of artistic Germany. All the leading ar.
lists are her adherents. The famous Len

dance OF Nenus-Berg in the famous per-
Torrance at Bayreuth.
Miss Duncan has, through her dancing
amassed a fortune in Germany. She has
bought a residence, one of the enormously
costly villas in the piutocratic Grunewald
colony, and filled it with valuable works
of art.
Recently one of the wealthiest newspa-
per proprietors asked her what would be

Her received reply was that it wo.;d be

ordered to remove a quantity of rub.

the rubbish removed was the historic

He Wanted to Know All.

In a suit recently tried in a Virginia
town a young lawyer of limited experience
was addressing a jury on a point of law,
when, good naturally, he turned to OPP
posing counsel, a man of much more eN-
perience than himself. and asked: That's
right, l believe, Colonel Hopkins?"
Whereupon, Hopkins, with a smile of con-
scious superiority, replied: Sir, l have
an office in Richmond wherein l shall be
delighted to enlighten you on any point
of law for Il consideration The youth

GIANT PURCHASE

Dominion Government.

company will Immediately

W. FL. Gilbert, president
and general manager of the
Red Cliff company, is at Van
couver completing arrange
ments for the transfer of 500,
10000 feet of west coast
stumpage. The most of this
timber belongs to the Canad-
ian government and the ne
gotiations have been in pro-
gress for several months. It
is understood that the con-
sideration involves about
$3.50, 900, most of the stump
age being sold for 30 cents a
thousand. The magnitude of
the deal can be realized when
it is remembered than pine
stumpage in this country now
brings SO per thousand. Most
of the timber which has been
acquired is Pacific coast fir,
which is not of quite as high a
value as the white pine.
It is computed that it will
take eight or ten years for
the Red Cliffe company to cut
all it's timber in this country,
and not until then will the
Britine Columbia holdings be
touched.

Notes From w ashington
From Our Regular Correspondent.


It may be noted in connection
with the proposed trip of the
battleship squadron around Cape
Horn, that one of the things Sc
riously lacking in naval equip
ment is some apparatus for coal
ing at sea. The coal problem is
one of the most serious that the
squadron will have to face. The
coal problem is always serious,
and especially in time of war
when a ship cannot go into any
port it chooses to coal. There
have been scores of schemes ad-
vanced for coaling at sea, and
some of them actually tried. The
Navy Dept. has been expert
menting for years and now has a
system that works better than
no system tall. But the ideal
sea coaling apparatus has not
vet been invented, and the gov
eminent will be willing to pay
handsomely to the man who pro-
duces it.
