Before the Day of Matches.

Sixty years ago the use Of flint and
steel to produce fire was not wholly
unknown. The late William e. Stone
Of Peoria lived at Beaver. Pa. His IA
Their one warm August night was
stricken with apoplexy. The fire was
out in the kitchen hearth, and his
mother in her distress, unable to find
the finder box, was obliged to send
his brother Marsh two miles and a
half to neighbor. She gave him a
handful Of tow, which he put in his
pocket Accusing neighbor with
some difficulty, she gave him a live
coal, which he wrapped in the tow
and. putting it back In his pocket, ran
home. When he arrived there he
swung the tow around his head, thus
famed the coal and produced a fame
which lighted candle. In the mean
time relief had been so long coming
that the father was past all surgery

School Notes

The good the public school does is
daily being manifested in our cities. In
the first place the school is under much
difficulty in rendering the service to
children that it should. But the good
it does do is very essential to mankind.
1t fits it's pupils for the higher educa-
ton. wherever or whatever it may be i,
whether in college or university. for
teachers or business men. 1t serves as
trainer of character, in that it teaches
one to be patient, gentle and studious.
1t also helps you to decide the course
you are most fit for in life. Secondly,
it provides means of obtaining better
understanding of the fundamental com
mon sense to those who have not the
necessary understanding and cannot az
ford to pay the charges of private
tutor. Thirdly, it gives poor people a
good foundation to build upon and be-
come great powers with the rich in en-
forcing and keeping the laws of IKE ma
ton, which the poor as we'll as the rich
must abide by. In teaching all it con-
veys to everyone the same idea of books
and general information one needs to
become true and loyal citizen. Thus
the individual as we'll as the nation is
benefited by the general instruction one
gathers at the public school,
Thanksgiving will be celebrated by
the primary grades Wednesday after
noon.

Mr.. Caldwell saws that he will not be

Beer Money ard Churches.


In the eighteenth century there were
NO temperance societies or bands of
hope. nor Recha bites and blue ribbon
army. To be as drunk as lord" was
the height Of human felicity. 1t was
the age of three bottle men, of con,
yivial toasts. of drinking songs. Even
the church indirectly encouraged in
temperance. There were certain dis
tricts where at Whitsuntide the church
wardens were accustomed to levy con-
tributions of malt from the parishiOn-
ers This was brewed into strong ale
and sold in the church. The Whitsun-
tide topers had. however pious
method in their madness.
The money spent on the beer was
expended by the churchwardens in
church maintenance. and the muddled
roisterers no doubt believed them
when, under the influence Of the alco-
hol, they rolled upon it's pavement.
They thought themselves supporters Of
the church when they wanted sup
porting themselves and deemed them
selves most sanity when they were
most soddened. Until as recently as
1927 when the license was withdrawn)

is something that Is not known to the
public, but it Is a fact that most of the
great railroads nowadays make their
published tine cards, those that it is
sues to the public at large, exactly one
minute faster than those they furnish
their train employees. For instance,
this train, according to the time table,
Is due to leave the station at 4:59. The
time card the engineer runs by gives
the leaving time as O'clock, and at s
O'Clock to the second he pulls out.

The railroads have adopted this plan
OF having their public time tables sixty
seconds faster so that the gate leading
to the train may be closed at the mo-
ment the train is scheduled to start
and so that those who get inside at the
last moment can have exactly one min

one is at all nimble. New York Press.

TroubIous Problems of Population.

TroubIous Problems of Population.
How many of the worlds greatest
staples are dependent on essentially
pioneer conditions? Wool is a pioneer
industry, dependent on the half occu-
pied areas of the world, to say nothing
of furs. How will the human race be
fed when population has been spread
over all parts Of the earth available
for human settlement at an even ratio?
Saskatchewan is larger than Germany
and probably fully Germany's equal in
economic resources. How would the
world be fed il Saskatchewan and
places like it were peopled as closely
as the kaiser's empire? This Is really
the wheat question of the future, and
the wool question and the lumber ques-
ton and in large part the beef ques-
ton. James ]. Hill now estimates that
in twenty years we shall be a wheat
importing nation. having passed over
from the lists Of areas which help to
feed the world into the category Of
those that somebody else must help to

and was saved from sinking short time
ago by Capt. Rockwell, of the May
flower, who discovered that she was
nearly waterlogged one day. The boat
can be raised by placing barge on
either side and hauling her up until her
deck is exposed and then pumping her
out.
The Spokane brought up barge of
logs for the Fidelity Lumber Co. from
Blueslide last week. The river is so low
at the present time that the heavily
loaded barges from the lower river are
frequently tied up on the bars or on
the sharp turns in the river, but the
work of bringing up the logs will be
continued, as the company desires to
make cleaning up of the logs that they
have cut in that locality. From 35 600 to
10000 feet of logs arc brought up on
each barge.
Mate Wiley, of the steamer Newport,
now plying on the lower river, visited
Newport this week.
The Navigation Co. is hauling lot of
white pine stuff for the Dean Lumber
Co. from Blueslide 1t is match stock
and is consigned to the Diamond Match
Co,
Hans Westby loaded barge with hay
from Cusick for the construction camp
Of the Great Northern this week.
! The steamer lone was tied up below
Boundary island on Monday night for
some time. There were about 60 pas
sengers aboard, and Capt. LeClerc did
not feel justified in trying to make the
docks, as the fog was the worst that has
been experienced this year.
The Beckman dredge was given a
thorough test this week and found to
work all right. 1t will be removed to
the neighborheod of Boundary island as
soon as supply of fuel can be obtained,
probably on Friday, and the work OF
deepening and Strengthening the chan
mel OF the river will be started.
