prevails on all steamers, and on both

dress at all the dances and concerts,

the evening looks more like that of a
Washington parlor than like the rough

finds on the big Atlantic liners.
AS to the meals on the ships, they
are excellent. I had good board even
on the small Mediterranean coastal
steamers and on the vessels along the
east coast. The eating on the ships
from the Cape to London is about as
good as on the Atlantic. and there are

$4,000 to Catch an Indian.

year ago last July Simon Guna-
MOOT shot Alex Mcintosh and Max
Leclaire and then took to the hills.
There have been no less than four
parties out after the fugitive since
the shooting.
The chase is said to be the longest
ever undertaken by the Dominion OF
canada, and up TO the present time
has cost something over $4,000. The
present force consists of fourteen
men, including some of the best
known hunters and trappers in Brit
ish Columbia During last summer
the provincial police spent most Of
lhelr time preparing for the chase,
which was to be continued vigorously
all winter, and they had fourteen pom
les engaged all the time in taking in
supplies and ammunition to the var
ious caches in that country of great
distances
The pay of the majority of these
man hunters is IS per day and board.
So far the net result OF all this eX-
pendlture has been the capture of the
Indian who has been selling the furs
caught by the murderer and the sew
en- men who are keeping him COM
pany The majority of the people
who know the country are of the
opinion it will take 100 men to fin
ally capture the Indian, and they look
upon the present expeditory force as
a waste of money.-HazeUon (B. CO

The meeting is to be held dur
ing the sessions of the circuit
and county courts when promi-
nent men will be here TO present
their views. The end in view is
the Experimental Farm and gen.
eral publicity for Gillian Co.
The executive committee at their
meeting decided TO circulate a
petition among the taxpayers to
secure the names Of all who are
in favor of a one and a half mill
tax tocover the expenses of buy
ing land and buildings for the
experimental farm. Mr.. Bla-
look suggested that those sign
ing tee petition should set oppo-
site their names the amount OF
property they were paying taxes
on to show that they were inter-
ested in the movement. Then
at the next meeting they would
ask the county court to levy the
tax, which if legal, would have
the support of the taxpayers.
All money received by subscrip-
ton is to be held by this county
treasurer.
It was also decided to work
for a rebate on grain sacks. A
petition will be circulated among
the farmers, and the papers with

trict, who will be asked to Sc
cure a reduction of duty.
