HAS RIVAL
Wynton is Competitor
With Conrad
The new town of Wynton, of which
C. E. Wyon-Johnson of this city is one
of the principal owners and the man
ager, is a lusty competitor with Conrad
for the position as metropolis of Windy
Arm. Already it is accumulating a
population and has a good list of business
houses. It is believed by those who have
cast their fortunes with it, that it is
one of the coming towns of the north.
Wynton is in British Columbia, and
the lioeral laws of that province are
depended upon to make it a thriving
place. It lies just south of the line
that separates the province from the I
Yukon territory. It is in the midst of |
some of tha very best Windy Arm min
ing properties. Just at its back are
the Venus mine, one of the favorite
Conrad properties: the claims of the
Kuby Silver Mining Company; the Dail
group of claims, at the head of which
is T. M. Daultoa. of Seattle, and others,
all of which will be extensively worked j
this summer.
Right across the Arm from Wynton
is the terminus of the trail to Conrad
mountain, on which the Conrad people
have a gang of men at work.
Dr. H. E. Vouug, member of the Brit
ish Colutuoia parliament, is authority for
the statement that the British Columbia
government will build a road from Log
Cabin to Wynton this summer, a dis
tance of It} miles, which will re
duce the mileage between Skagw y and
Windy A am by a score or more miles.
It is now building a road from the
water's edge opcosiie Wvnton 'o the
base of Conrad mou- ain, where it con
nects w,th the road the Conrad people
are building to thi ir mine Dr. Young
says the provincial government wil[
buiid roads in many directions from
Wynton. as their ne.ds shall become
apparent
Wynton already has a good number]
of business houses The Wright A
Parker >aw-mi!i is located there, and it
is working to its full capacity, cutting
lumber for ai avaricious market. A.
R. Mc Don ild. the pioneer Atlin hotel
man. and W. A. Anderson, also former
ly of Atlin have hotels in operation,
and other business houses are going in
raplidly.

My Choice
lOrlglnal.]
"The doctor tells me," said my fa
ther one morning after breakfast, "that
this heart of mine is liable to tako mo
oil at any moment. Before I go. I
wish to see you married. I would be
glad if you could have a romance, but
romances will not be bidden; they
coine when they please or not at all.
I must therefore ask you to choose a
husband in a conventional way. Three
men have proposed to me for your
hand? Edward Hewitt, Arthur Lyons
and Gilbert Lawrence. All are able to
support you; all are mentally and
physically admirable men e^ept Law
rence, who Is cursed with a club foot.
I believe you know them."
"Mr. Hewitt I have met; Mr. Lyons
I know pretty well; Mr. Lawrence I
do not know at all."
"Then I suppose the choice falls be
tween Hewitt and Lyons?"
I was silent. My expression must
have been lugubrious, for father said,
"Poor little girl." Then I turned to
him and said:
"Send them all to me to make their
propositions direct and I will decide
between them."
"On different days?"
"No; let them all come tomorrow
evening. Put them in different rooms,1
and let them out like bears In a menag
erie, one after another."
Father smiled grimly and went
away.
The nest evening I took position in
the small drawing room. Presently
the door opened, and Mr. Hewitt walk
ed in. He was perfectly self possessed,
advanced to within a short distance of
me and stood deferentially. He was I
a fine looking man, though not hand
some. He began to speak in a formal
tone.
"Your father has given me the ines
timable privilege of laying my heart
at your feet I have known you long
enough to feel assured of the loveliness
of your disposition, the rectitude of
your conduct, and It is plain to all that
you are beautiful. I mention these
traits, since from boyhood I have been
resolved that the woman I marry must
possess them. As to worldly goods, 1
have Sufficient myself. I can take care
of you In the same fashion as you have
been brought up. You have only to
speak one word to make me happy."
"I duly appreciate," I replied, "the
honor you have done me and am pleas
ed to know your requirements in the
woman you shall marry. I will hold
your proposal under advisement, and
you will be duly informed."
His confident manner underwent a
sudden change, and he retired in some
confusion.
Ten minutes later Mr. Lyons came
in. He cast a frightened glance at me.
then bent his eyes to the floor. He did
not come as near me as his predecessor
and instead of standing erect bent
low.
"I feel," he said In a hesitating voice,
"that it is a presumption for me to
offer my unworthy hand to one so
greatly my superior, one who is known
to the world for her many admirable
traits, as well as for her beauty. When
I asked your father to be permitted to
pay my addresses to you, I had no
hope that the little I have to offer in
those endowments prized by woman
would be acceptable to one possessing
every endowment acceptable to men.
If you can find It in your heart to fa
vor my suit you will inspire me with a
confidence and happiness never felt
before."
He stood waiting with head bowed
and eyes still bent to the floor.
"I assure you, Mr. Lyons," 1 said,
"that, far from feeling too good for
you, I do not feel good enough for
you. I thank you for your high opinion
of my endowments and for your most
complimentary offer. I must ask yon
for a brief period In which to con
elder."
"I am delighted," he said, "that you
will stoop even to consider a proposal
of one so unworthy of you."
1 sighed as he went away. Two of
the three had made their proposals, ono
telling me what he required in n wife,
the other what I deserved In a hus
band. The third remained to state his
case, and he had a clubfoot. What a
position for a girl to be placed in!
When the door opened and Lawrence
entered he limped along briskly, his
eyes fixed on me, his countenance lit
with admiration mingled with intense
anxiety. It seemed as If he was bent
on the one supreme quest of his life.
He came up close to me and sat on
the edge of a chair directly opposite
me. n
"May I tell you a story?" be asked.
"You may."
"One day a year ago I was In the
art gallery, when a girl came In and
began looking at tbe pictures. I do not
know If her face was beautiful. I only
know that the soul looking through It
caught mine and whirled it away. Ev
ery day since then I have gone to the
gallery hoping to meet her, and thrice
that I have done so have amply re
paid me. For a year I have worshiped
her in silence. Then when I could en
dure It no longer I resolved to know
my fate. You are that girl. Tell me
If my life Is to be withered or If the
gates of heaven are to be opened to
me In your love."
As he spoke the last words he reach
Id for my hand.
"I have been through a dreadful or
deal," I said, not withdrawing It, "but
you have lightened the burden. You
may come and see me whenever you
like, and if you continue to love me
In a closer proximity and I grow to
love you I will be your wife."
This I told him. When I informed
my father I said, "Gilbert Lawrence Is
my choice." CORA ASH WORTH.
