than, when you cash in few s shyI because while there is life, and hopf and ambition, there is always tn chance that you may get the loi Ss back, but when you lose a friend you have more trouble in makinG a replacement, because there is no mint that coins friends.
 J. Frank Callbreath died last week at his home in Telegraph Creek, British Columbia. That news will come as a shock to the big game hunters of the world for J. Frank Callbreath had friends all over the world.
 Since he has been located in the heart of the big game section of the Cassiar, he has outfitted parties from all parts of the globe. Ameri- can sportsmen from almost every big city in the United States have wired him to have an outfit with horses and guides to take them out and when they arrived at the little camp on the Stikine, they found all in readiness and when they got to the hunting country, there wac nothing missing that was needed to add to their comfort or pleasure Frank Callbreath was not that kind Personally he looked after every thing and all he wanted to know of big game hunter was how long he could spend afield, what kind O. game he wanted, and it was taken cart of.
 l never knew of J. Frank Call breath sending a party out into the hills after game that they did not get, not only a wonderful trip, but limit bag as well. Not all hunters are fortunate to get record head or belts, but in the trophy rooms of the world, there are lots of record heads that were killed or hunts that Frank Callbreath ar ranged and managed.
 He was an oldtimer in the Gas siar. The Diamond c Trading Com pany was organized in 1872, be lieve. The sign still hangs over tho door as 1t did when the Cassiai was a big gold producer, when the men were stampeding in over tn All Canadian route to the Klon- dike.
 All over the world there are thousands of gold seekers, prospect . ors and the like who, if they are still living, will hear of his pass ing with sincere regret. He was a friend to all-white man or native, it made no difference. They never went hungry or lacked bed while he had either, and they never walked while he had a horse.
 The natives of the Cassiar coun- try have lost friend that they will miss more and more as the years go on. He understood the native as few men do. They worked for him when he had work for them to 6c, and whether they had anything con- ing or not during the long winte $ of the North they could always g ,L grub at the Diamond trading post
 If a native was sick, if a baby needed some special kind of food or medical attention, Frank Callbrea h saw that it was forthcoming.
 There is not a member of t.,e Tahltan tribe but is indebted 10 him, and among the oldtimers of the Cassiar, there are few but owe him favors.
 In the old days before J. Frank Callbreath went to the Cassiar, lie was big league material in the base ball world. He loved the national game with a love that stood the test of years. Everyday during the baseball season he used to get the telegraph report on the American and National League games.
 He was an authority on the 1 anu dOAAAby OA PAoShASoiAJ every player in the game of any prominence-and how he used to love to sit and talk baseball.
 Frank Callbreath was a family man and leaves behind him to car ry on his work in the Cassiar | 0 sons, Roy and Charlie, and 2 daughter, Jean.
 This family has been raised in : Cassiar and with the exception oi the time they have been outside ,a school, they have lived their h:rs there. I hope they carry on the Diamond Trading bushes and the Callbreath ranch and the busi- ness as their father would have them do.
 As for me, it won't seem like l Te1epranh Crack if I warn uD to he
