THE NORTHERN WINTER.
Esprit Lake Beaconl

lt1plIlt LANE oCdCOHJ
In working up to its editorial spect-
fications the Marshalltown Times-R Re-
publican had an inspiring article on
the weather last Saturday, and when
the date is taken into account the
cheerful philosophy Of our worthy con-
temporary must be considered timely
and helpful.
Just note such conclusions as these:
Winter is not an affliction, but a
blessing" Snow is not an enemy of
mankind, but friend" 1.-THE chill air
is natures tonic for those who need 1t,
if they will take it." Frost locks up
the million concentrations that heat
frees and multiplies." '"The sharp
shock of the zero morning is slim
ulant to the body and BRAIN" From
the SHOWS of the north have grown
more greatness and sprung more util-
ity than the sodden tropics ever
dreamed of 1--WE grow men above
the snow line: let them have all the
oranges and alligators that the tropics
can produce below it,
This sort of philosophy ought to be
generally accepted as true. for it is the
sane experience of rugged manhood.
If there is one particular thing evil
dencing and breeding excavation and a
crinkling of the spinal column eof high
purpose and unfiinching determination
that have made for accomplishment in
the north temperate zone, it is the
manifest tendency on the part OF
many strong men to run away from
the northern winter if they can, or to
remain if they must to snarl at the
weather record and feel down on their
luck. It's habit that discounts viril-
ity and promotes cheap misery. 1t is
rank discomfort in it's most mischiev-
Gus form.
Men prone to believe that they should
shun all form of personal discomfort
are looking for trouble in the way OF
little foxes that destroy the vines OF
happiness and usefulness. And of all
petty troubles weather is the eas1et to
endure and the most difficult to escape.
There is far more weather complaint
in balmy southern California than IN
Manitoba. Away UP north people ad-
lust themselves to winter conditions,
make merry with the snow and ice
and health is the rule of winter life.
Below the frost line weather is the
chief concern. 1t is not always balmy.
When the sun is in hiding, as it is for
DAYS at a time, tie nleager provision
for heat invites discomfort, and when
the evening approaches chill strikes

INDIANS BATTLE WITH
THE CANADIAN POLICE

Victoria, B. c., Nov. S.-After a
battle, beginning Saturday at day
break, a force of 50 special police,
embracing practically all male in
habitants of Hazelton on the Skeena
river, captured the Indian village of
Kisplox and made prisoners several
of the chiefs of the tribes who have
been melting the related nations of
the Skeena to war upon the whites,
obstructing railway construction and
Selling supplies.
One of the causes of trouble with
these Indians has been the crossing
of the national cemetery at Kis-
pox by the Grand Trunk Pacific
railway. The natives demanded COM
pensation at the rate Of $500 for
each chief, $500 for each brave, $500
for each squaw and $500 for each
child's body moved. The govern
ment threw out the claim and grant
ed the railway crossing rights on
condition of a new cemetery being
provided, the bodies being moved
with reverence and $1,000 paid as
lump consolation.

Is a Man Of Big Affairs.

Public Service, a Chicago publ

Northern Idaho & Montana Power
Co., a corporation that is expend-
ing 100000 to give this town
electric light and power service:
Henry Manson Byllesby, who re-
Gently was elected president of the
Civic Federation, of Chicago. is one
of the foremost of the public utility
men who are taking an active in
terest in the Improvement of gen.
eral social and industrial condi-
tons.
The selection of Mr.. Byllesby as
the head of the Chicago reform Or
ganization is a distinct recognition
OF the executive ability and quality
of management exemplifed in the
leadership of the firm of H. M
Byllesby & Co., engineers, opera
tors and managers of public utility
properties.
The Civic Federation is not a
new organization. 1t is cOmDOsed
of many of the strongest and most
influential citizens of Chicago, and
has accomplished some notable
achievements, some of them being
along the lines of forest park reser.
walton and securing more scientific
methods of taxation.
Among the reforms advocated by
the organization are new charter
for Chicago, strengthening the con.
vict parole system, the improve
ment of slum tenement conditions
and a campaign against illega
medical schools.
Service in the public utility feld
usually requires so much of the
best effort and time of the men en-
gagged in it that little opportunity
is given for endeavor beyond thu
scope of private affairs. The com
pany of which Mr.. Byllesby is tn,
head has been large and impor
tant one for long time and il
constantly growing. That its presi
dent should find it possible to &C

All of these communities are
growing rapidly. The policy of
Byllesby & Co. is one of complete
development along the most eff
cient lines. Dealings with the
public are invariably on frank
and reasonable basis. Once in con-
troll OF a property there is no hest
fancy about making all the i'm
provements and investments neces-
sary to insure good service at fair
rates. The results from a financial
standpoint have fully justified the
standards set by the organization.
Henry Manson Byllesby was a
widely known electrical engineer
long before. he founded the COM
pany which bears his name. In the
early days of electric lighting he
was associated with Thomas A,
Edison. Subsequently he was vice
president of the Westinghouse Elec-
trio and Manufacturing Co., and
managing director of the British
Westinghouse interests.
Mr.. Byllesby was born in Pitts
burg 30 years ago. He is a gradu.

enterprises. He is member of
