that such conduct amounted TO a
gross breach OF international cour-

II is idle to deny that Great Brit
aims connection with the Sextuplc

popular in many quarters. A day or
two ago one of the leading Chinese
papers published lengthy article en-
titled "A proposed Triple Alliance"
In this article Britain's policy in the
Far East is stated to excite laugh

scarcely be OF any advantage TO us"
1t proceeds TO urge that China would
derive most advantage from allying
herself with the United States and
Germany. However visionary such a
proposal may be. it is interesting as
showing the Tevulsion of feeling
against Great Britain which her re-
sent action in regard to Tibet, and

USE YOUR LOCAL BANK.

F YOU HAVE not already acquired
the baHhng habit, expose yourself
to it at once and catch It, 1t is a
good habit at the worst and fine one
at the best, and there are hundreds Of
reasons why you should have II, and
not a single one against It,
True, there might be the fact that
you have not the money to start a
bank account but this is only a very
temporary excuse, for with one dollar
you can commence banking business
and this can be earned two or three
times at almost any old occupation, in
the course Of day.
The banking habit like most others,
win grow with a few dollars laid
away in the bank, the desire TO add to
it Is sure to follow, and the tendency
to spend Is also curbed. In the first
place It is not in your pocket, and
though you can easily get It at any
time and any place by drawing a
check, you will hesitate about doing
80 only in case Of absolute necessity
And again, in many banks the few
dollars you put away begin to work
FOR you, as you are paid a small inter-
est on your deposit, and this again
tends to keep you from interfering
with the money once you have It on
deposit
Then again, you will find II the most
convenient way Of doing business, for
all the bills you pay by bank check
come back to you with the receipt on
the back of your check. Hundreds of
law suits would never have started
had bills always been paid by check,
for once paid, there is the receipt, on
the check, and If that is lost or de-
Stroyed, there is the bank books to
show the record Of the transaction.
Banks are an absolute necessity TO
business, and the poor man, he with a
small sum to put away, will find that
the bank 80 necessary to the man Of
big business is not only Il convenience
to him, but a safeguard aud benefit
that he cannot afford to ignore.

SIX THOUSAND MEN AT WORK
COMPLETING GRAND TRUNK PA.
CIFIC-WILL OPEN VAST TERRI.
TORY ABSOLUTELY NEW.

Fltzhugh,( b, c., Nov. 2O,-In the
race TO complete the gigantic con-
structon work of the Grand Trunk
Pacific railroad from the Rockies to
the Pacific Ocean during 1913 a win.
ter's campaign will be made with six
thousand men in the construction
army President Morely Donald
son has announced that 1900 men are
on the work at the western end and
100 on that part which is eastward
from Hazelbon. Next June, Mr.. Dom
aldson says, he will be able to tell
whether the final link can be furnished
before January /, 1914
The plans for fifty towns along the
route are completed, with generous
provisions for public parks and build
ings and with compact business cen
ters and attractive residence sections.
These soon will be filed at Victoria,
the capital of the province, and al
ready the vanguard of the coming
horde Of bankers, merchants, BARRIERS
and professional men has arrived The
purchasing power Of this vanguard is
high as proven by the fact that the en-.
tire site Of the town of Willow River
vas sold In one week. Like Edison,
where in two years, a town Of one tar
paper house gained a population Of
over 1900 people who built nearly half
a million dollars worth Of stores,
homes, and factories, growth in these
new towns will be rapid. Notwith-
standing that the supplies, tools and
materials must now go hundreds Of
miles by pack horse and river raft and
steamer, the first train over the rail-
road will find the towns under way.
with the opening Of the road the horde
that Is awaiting better and cheaper
transportation will swarm in.
The engineers for the railroad COM
pany found that, although the region
was primeyal, with its wealth Of tim
Der, minerals and water power and
agricultural lands comparatively un-
touched, yet at several points mer-
chants were doing a big business. AT
one point William Blair carrier mer-
chandise stock that inventories be-
tween 100000 and Sl5O,OOO. At Gis-
combe David Hubble, eight years ago
o carpenter in Chicago, is member of
a firm which has made small fortune
from merchandise and farming, not
Withstandlng that the goods for their
shelves sometimes were three months
ON the long, hard trail from the rail-
road and had to be brought by pack
horse and canoe. Throughout this
great region, which is 500 miles in
width from the Rockies to Prince Ru-
pert on the Pacific, there are no towns,
yet the natural resources warranted
the construction at enormous cost
through the mountains, Of the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway Preparations
ARE being made for manufacturing as
well as numbering, farming and min
ing, for water power coal and oil are
there in abundance and the climate is
said to be more eQuable than that Of
Illinois, fruit growing having been
successful.
