All the rest of the country has been burned over at least once within the past forty or fifty years, and the tim- ber, which dates from the last fire, Tarely exceeds three or four inches in diamater. The shores of Split Lake have been burned over on an average once every season. Fortunately in this district the soll is usually deep, and can always support another crop of trees: The presence of merchant- able forest in protected ituations proves that the young forest now start- ed will become sufficiently valuable to support sawmill and pulp indus- tries and supply a large population, Very little of the land traversed by Mr. Whyte is suitable for agriculture.

Preached b The Real Women Are the Furies Says the Grand- niece of Lamartine. Paris, July 30.+A new gospel of feminine violence is preached by Val- entine de Saint-Point, a French poet- ess, who is a grand niece of Lamar- tine. The nature of her ldeas may be gathered from a few extracts culled from her First Manifesto of the Foturiet, Se Humanity is mediocre. The major- ity of women are neither superior nor are equal. the contemp lt;gvery woman showlt possess; only f iiinine virtues, but virile qual ities. * * The man who haa only male force without Intuition is but a brute. But in the period of feminism in which we live the contrary exagger- ation alone is salutary. The brute must be held up as model.

L. Schetf, special commissioner for some of the most important British publications, has arrived in Nelson. Mr. Scheff, who is. travelling through Canada for his see- ond time in an effort to put before the British public the enormous field and opportunities open in-Canada, says that he' s going to place the beauties ot Canada as well as the utilities so clearly before the British public that they cannot fail to realize Canada s advantages and opportunities. Mr, Scheff is enthusiastic over Can- ade s. prospects, and says he cann understand why so many English peo- ple are struggling along for a mere ex- istence in England while the golden opportunities of Canada are open to them. One of the main objects of Mr. Scheff s supplement will be to induce Britishers to come out and settle in the Dominion. Last year Mr. Scheff was greatly impressed by the beauties of British Columbia, especially the Kootenays, Jand devoted a great deal of space to this district, but this year he is still more impressed by the Kootenay lake - region.He admires the industry of the settlers, who have built up pros Perous ranches in the heart, of th Revelstoke, July 30.

Understood Special Commissioner me While There is Every mountains, and promises that Nelson and the surrounding district shall not ave catise for complaint on ground of praise. Mr. Scheff say: I have already-published in a num- ber of British publications series of articles describing the Impressions I gained trom my tour through Canada last year, and I hope I have succeeded in imparting to others some of the enthustasism that was aroused in me to what I saw of Canada. Rarely has Canada loomed more largely in the mind and affections of the home coun- at-the-present moment. For years the Dominion has been calling for settlers from the motherland, for men of spirit and energy, who would take their share in the building up of what Is to be one of the greatest na- tions of the twentieth century. The call of the West has been answered with increasing alacrity. But it is safe to say that in the years that are com- ing a growing proportion of the bone and sinew of the old country. will be employed in the development. of the danghterland in North America, and that while Canada herself will thereby promote her own advance, the United Kingdom witt draw increased imper- jal strength from the connection. of R. F. Green as member for Koot- enay, he took the matter up with the department of the interior at Ottawa. AS a result of his presentation of the case, coupled with that of the Hon. Thomas Taylor, an official of the de- 3 ofthe in aber, was sent out from Ottawa to investi- gate the whole matter. Upon his re- port will depend the government's action. Acres Lying Idle. The amount of land involved is ex- tremely large.

Using poo a ry or printing is poor business however you look at it, because it represents you, and you cannot prevent it. The safe thing, therefore, is to use paper and printing so good that, you are willing to have your-work-or-your-goods judged by it. There are certaip things that are impossible to say about one s self. For instance, your character, the esteem you hold for your business, your integrity these are things that cannot be advertised. But you can suggest them through your stationery and printed matter.
