AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Late reports from the south
indicate that local stocks are
now recovering from a recent
heav ' depression created in
the Vancouver and Victoria
stock markets by a report to
the ef e’t that the Premier
had turned down the Dunvvell.
The basis of the rumor is said
to br»ye been a statement
made by Dale L. Pitt, managej
of the Premier, to the effect
that his company had no in
tention at that time of taking
ever the Dunwell. As the al
leged statement by Mi\ Pitt
was made before tlie recent
sam’-rng operations on the
Durfwell were concluded and
several days before the
sanrl j secured were sent up
to rh : Premier for assay, it is
obv’om that Mr. Pitt could
hardly have made any other
statement at that time. The
Prerr'er Company was hardly
likclc to either accept or re
ject the property until the re
sults of the testing processes
it had undertaken were defi
nite! known.
Although the statement at
tr bu ed to Mr. Pitt appears
to have been .entirely in keep
ing with the company’s atti
tude at that time, the resultant
effect was decidedly injurious
in the degree that it caused a
slump in the price of a major
ity of local stocks.
The incident although in it
self of transitory moment, il
1 i3trates in most forcible man
ner, the power wielded by a
big mining concern in foster
ing or hindering the develop
ment of a mine or even a
whole mining district. Let the
engineers of a big mining com
pany investigate a property
and then withdraw, the im
pression v naturally prevails
that the mine is of no com
murciaj value, whereas the ex
act contrary may be the case.
Too often it has been shown
that the turning down of a
property by a big company is
intended for no other purpose
than to destroy faith in the
property or the district in
which it is located, with a
view to acquiring it or other
holdings at reduced prices.

The time of year to swat the
flv is now. A little cleaning
at this season will do much to
prevent a plentiful supply of
fl'es a little later. »
Eradicating possible breed
ing places for flies now will
be much easier then to kill the
cron when it appears a few
week hence. To that end all
rubbish piles or other attract
ive s^ots for fly culture should
be destroyed or removed at
th?s t‘me.
A swat at a fly now means a
whole lot toward his control
at the height of his season.
Stopping the fly before he
gets started is a good method
to pursue in handling him. A
sharp offensive against him is
the best defense against him.
Destroy his potential breed
ing places now and insure
against his flourish a little
later. Look about your premi
ses and see what you can do to
stop him before he gets the
jump on you.

Mo3t people resist waking up.
They yawn, turn over, cover
up, and try to stay asleep. No
matter what the hour they
are not quite ready to wake
up. They look daggers at the
alarm clock, and curse the sun
for shining in through the
window. And yet, waking up
is a precious experience.
There’s nothing else like it. To
come out of darkness into
light, out of dormacy into
consciousness, out of inertia
into activity.
Everybody should look for
ward to waking—up not only
out of sleep, but out of ignor
ance, bad habits, laziness, dis
couragement and many other
things. Such awakening can
take place all day long—every
day.
Don’t resist it with a yawn,
don’t turn away from it, and
don’t try to cover up. Be ready
for it. Be willing to learn, to
be active, to go ahead, and be
a credit to yourself and those
who care for you.

We find that our town
Pays better for working than
bragging;.
Is full of sunshine if one
wears a shining face;
Extends courtesies to fault
finders.
Presenting more opportuni
ties as one becomes more use
i ful.
Is not as easily fooled by
| your concept as you axe.
Full of people out of whom
one may make friends or en
emies.
Is judged more accurately by
»ts ouiet men then by its blow
hards.
Is a mighty good place to live
in: IF YOU DON’T THINK
SO, WHY DON’T YOU
MOVE?

Glory be! The League of
nations has undertaken to pu'o

Fine! But what the world
needs most right about now is
good spring gardeners.

What,s the use of the wind
blowing so- hard now, with
skirts as short as they are?
Daughters are finding it a
struggle to look as young as j

Ice cream is being shipped

are sending Esqiiimo pies in

Love makes the world go

it should be all asleep.
The trouble is that these fast'
drivers never go anywhere, j
not even to jail.

Once upon a time a beautiful
girl was indicted for murder
and the'jury sentenced her to
the electric chair; and an old
maid actually had a black cat,
and a friend borrowed a book
and returned it promptly.
A Missouri man died while
washing dishes for his wife.
That is certainly going to be
an alibi much used in the
future.
“This safe is not what it was
cracked up to be,” complained
the yegg as he found only a
few dollars after a hard
night’s work with the acety
lene torch.
Once there was a Man who
Covinced his Wife that she
was Wrong aftejr a heated
and Lengthy Argument.
Pete—“Some of your wash
was jumping around on the
line last night.”
Bogg—“That was probably
rny athletic underwear.” r
There was a young fellow
named Sloan
Who thought he could jump
over a stone
But he landed, Kerplunk
On the bad: of a skunk—
Now ho talks to his friends
o’er the phone.
A spinster; lady sat next to a
flapper in the same seat in a
•ailway car. Ever and anoll
?he gave the flappish one the
ip and down and once over.
At last friend flapper reacheo j
down to the well rolled top'of j
her silk stocking and produced
a package of cigarettes. With i
a well-poised flourish she1
swept the cigarettes in front of
the old maid’s eyes as she said:
“Have one?”
“What,” said the frozen
face, “Why I’d just as leave
embrace a man as to smoke
one of those.”
“Huh,” snickered Bobs,
“who wouldn’t.”
One step won’t take you very
far,
You’ve grot to keep on walk
in’ ;
One word won’t tell folks who
you are
You’ve got to keep on talk
ing;
An inch won’t make you very
tall,
You’ve got to keep on grow
ing;
One little ad won’t do it all,
You’ve got to keep them go
ing.
A constant drop of water
Wears away the hardest
stone;
By constant gnawing, Towser
Masticates the toughest bone;
The constant cooing lover
Carries off the blushing
maid;
And the constant advertiser
Is the one who gets the trade.
Exchange.—
When the famous ancestor
of General Dawes, the com
panion of Paul Revere, gal
loped through Roxbury to give
the alarm, did he, do you sup
pose, shout in stentorian tones:
“Hell ’n Mariar, the British
are coming!”
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger of faster men
But soon or late the man
who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
If you think you are beaten,
you are;
If you think you dare not,
you don’t
If you’d like to win, but
think you can’t
It’s almost a cinch you won't.
Exchange.
