Good Laws Might Help.

The editor of the Britt Tribune is
credited with the following: One
day a member of the city council
came to us and said: you ought to
write an article every week on the
subject of dragging the roads and
get the farmers interested in it SO
they will do this work. We went
out on the street and asked the first
farmer we met, how did you find
the roads?" "Oh" he said, they
were not so bad until l got inside
the corporation, and then / found
them cut up so they were a fright.
We asked him what we ought to dc
about it. "Why, print an article
every week and roast your town
council and the mayor until they
fix the roads leading into town SC
they are passable inside the cor
poration. And then we went back
into the Office and wrote an editorial
on the methods of teaching a spotted
calf with a hump back how to drink
without bunting the pail over and
splitting the milk down the back OF
the teachers neck.

THE PASSING OF JUNE.

Asleep in ivory moonlight lie the
hills
With all their kline at rest Scarce
stirs the breeze
To cool the fields, or glad the
forest trees,
For June is passing and her foot
fall thrills
Her ancient lover in his dream of
bliss
Mid pinks and peoples in their lacy
frills,
Her roses lift their lips for one
last kiss,
She has no other darling like to
these.
In silence fire-flies dance their light
quadrilles
Ger marsh and stream where
darkest shadows creep.
No sounds, but walls of far-off whip
poorwills,
Disturb nights story eloquent and
deep.
Farewell! In thy fair bowers l
watch alone
In worship, bowed at Beauty's altar
stone.

JOLIET ESTABLISHES

Joliet's agitation for a public market
which started at the same time that
Gary began to demand a market has re-
suited in the establishment of one
which is to be opened this week. AS
yet no important move has been made
for the Gary market although the Com
mercial club has promised to take the
question up some time in October. The
people of Joliet took up the market
crusade after Gary had furnished the
lead.

DREAM Of FOR
TUNE COMES TRUE
Vision of Future Makes
Investors in Western
Canada Rich.

Only a few years ago out in a portion
of Western Canada. which was prac-
tically a wilderness, group of men
dreamed a day dream of what the flu
ture might be- Now they are rich.
Between that time and now city after
city has arisen and $40, 00o. 900 is a low
estimate OF the money which has been
made. The railroad has done ii. Pros
perity has widened out In a gigantic
pa tn each side of the track wher-
ever it has gone and wherever an i'm
portant city grew up the advances in
the value of the lots have been nothing
short of fabulous. making early invest
ors independent for life.
AS short a time eighteen months
ago Fort George, 3. c., sold its lots at
from 500 to $3.50. while now they are
hard to get for from 81 500 to $4,000
spot cash
Prince Rupert, b. c.. took an upward
turn in two years that sent 5000 and
$500 values up TO $1,000 and $1,000
making thousands of easy money for
those who invested early
And of course. nearly everyone
knows how Edmonton. Calgary and
Vancouver have outdone even these
RECORDS. Cases are not uncommon
where a comparatively poor man put In
500 or $150 a few years ago and now -
worth $1,000. $4,000 and even as much
as $4,000 to $4,000 simply from the
increase in value OF his investment. The
railroad did this, too.
All eyes are now turned on Fort
Fraser, B. c., the new giant city
about to awake. Blessed with hun
dreds of natural advantages. comma nd !.
ing a tremendous stretch of navigable
river, and being situated at an import
ant point the great new Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, 1t has prospects
even bigger and better than any West
ern Canada city which has risen before
it,
The stir OF activity is there now. for
the railroad has it's grading camps
within two miles and Fort Fraser only
awaits the joining of the tracks to be-
gin it's great career.
Lots here are now at the stage where
they can be bought for $3.50 to 1900
and up and will rapidly be taken as
soon as it becomes known that they are
on the market. This is a chance for
the small investor to get in and make
some good ready money With the lots
selling on easy terms of 10 per cent
down and 5 per cent per month, the
opportunity is big for any thirty ma
or woman TO get a share Of the golden
harvest that is sure to come The titles
to lots are guaranteed by the Canadian
Government. No interest Is charged, or
taxes, until fully paid.

results.
Promoters of the bout expect that

Unless there is a large attendance from
the big city. 1t is impossible to make
the bouts pay.
Eddie Murphy, champion of New

besides the main bout of ten rounds.
