NHAT THE PACIFIC PROVINCE CAN RAISE ON ITS FARMS. its Agricultural Area a Vast Surprise te the Average Uninformed Csnadian-- Lower Frazer Valley the Gardes of the Frovince--Fruit Raising Rapidly In. creasing--A Nutshell View of Farms and Products in British Columbia, Many people are of the opinion that we raise nothing in British Columbia people are of the opinion that we raise nothing in British Columbia but fish, minerals and pin-headed politicians, but such is not the case, says The New Denver, B.C., Ledger, !judging from what J. K. Lindsay {said in Winnipeg the other day. He ! says: "The agricultural area of British Columbia would be a big surprise to | the average person, who is under the {impression that the province is prac- | tically a sea of mountains,' says | Mr, Lindsay. "While part of this is | timbered, yet when it is cleared, which can be done at a very moder- jate cost, its productiygness is un- squalled in Canada.' » Speaking of the lower Fraser Val- ley Mr. Lindsay says it is probably | the garden of the province. A tour through this immense district would | be a revelation to one unacquainted with the possibilities of the wonder- | ful climate enjoyed by that district. Bays he: "The warm days and cool nights produce luxuriant yet hardy ! vegetation. | "Mixed farming is the usual oc- | cupation, stock-raising and dairying foeing tho most profitable. On ac- count of the wonderful pasture an | acre will pasture one animal per year. I saw one farm of fifty acres on which a dairy herd of forty net- ted the owner over $2,400 in one year. 'According to the creamery statistics, cattle, practically speak- ing, are out the year round. Pork is another remunerative product, the comparison of production between here and there will demonstrate this --the one feeding skim milk and clover and the other grains. "The high prices paid for produce and the fact that British Columbia does not and cannot produce enough for home consumption, importing produce to the value of $600,000 yearly, will always keep the prices up. Butter, for instance, ncts the farmers from twenty-two to twenty- eight cents per pound. At present eggs are worth from twenty-five to fifty cents per dozen, with other pro- duce in comparison, "PFruit-raising is rapidly increasing. Apples, plums and pears grow to perfection and also bring good pric- es. For instance, apples net $1 per box--three and one-half boxes would equal one barrel. Crop failure is practically unknown. In grains wheat is not grown extensively, the land is too valuable for dairy pur- poses. Oats bring tremendolis yields, Peas one to ono and a hall tons per acre o Timothy, hay, seven tons per acre is not an uncommon yield. Much land is yet available, and much cheaper than corresponding lands to the south in Washington. Wild lands run from $5 to $15. Improved farms from $20 to $70. In the municipal- ity ot Chillwack, for instance, a valley of forty thousand acres, only twenty thousand acres are under cultivation. While one hundred and sixty-acre farms are the average here, forty acres comprise a good- sized farm; in fact, hundreds are making a good living off ten acres. Ten dollars per acre is usual yearly rental, and in some cases $15. "Vancouver Island contains many beautiful farms in the vicinity of Victoria,' says Mr. Lindsay, "the climate being similar to that of England. All vegetation produced there goes exceedingly well. "Kamloops, which is in the dry belt, will have thousands of acres opened up in the spring, through a very extensive plan of irrigation now nearing completion. The land will grow anything from a peach to a watermelon. In the Kootneys are thousands of acres owned by the These lands are situated on the Kootney Lakes, north and cast from Nelson and in the Cranbrook dis- trict. These lands can be bought from $1 to $5 per acre, and contain many valuable minerals. The bot tom lands are taken up, and many thousands of acres can be used for grazing lands. The rolling and shel- tered nature of the country makes it an ident cattle country, ps the large areas in the Territories are being rapidly cut up and this must be the cattle country in future, The clim- ate is also much milder. "The Okanagan district contains the finest fruit-growing land in the province, also producing an excellent grade of cereals. Lord Aberdeen's Coldstream ranch is a magnificent sight."" -------------- Canadians 1n Congress. At least six present United States Senators can never occupy the White House because of the constitutional provision requiring Presidents to be native-born, says "The Washington Post. Patterson of Colorado was born in Ireland, Nelson of Minnesota in Norway, Millard of Nebraska in Canada, Wetmore of Rhode Island in England, Gallinger of New Hamp- shire in Canada, and Kearns of Utah in Canada. The proportion of foreign members of Congress is much greater in the Senate than it is in the House, for while six of the eighty-eight Sena- tors are foreigners, all save seven of the 386 members of the House are natives. The House members who were born abroad are Lorrimer of Illinois and Baker of New York in England; Lucking of Michigan and Hughes of West Virginia, in Canada; Lind of Minnesotn, in Sweden: Bar- thold of Missouri, in Germany; Rodey of New Mexico, in Ireland, and Mc- Lachlin of California, in Scotland. For voting purposes Gaine of West Virginia might as well have been a foreigner, for he was born im the District ot Calvmbia. All That Are Left.

Sangster, who was the chicl speaker at the recent Young Women's Christian Association Na- tional Convention. in Toronto, writes Jean Blewitt in The 'Toronto News, is one of the best-known women of the continent. As a writer of prose and verse she takes her place amongst the cminent men and wo- men of the day. "Girls," she said of late to an interviewer, "arc deep in my regard. 1 love to help them with 'my counsel and advice and love to make the world. brighter for them." She enjoys the full confi- dence of thousands of girls, and with this as an inspiration and:long years of work and' wisdom behind her, she is the woman who ought to speak at such a gathering as is going on at present. Mrs. Sangster has written many books, among them "Winsome Womanhood," a series of heart to heart talks with young girls and old girls. From cover to cover it reveals an insight into a girl's nature, an understanding of her moods, a sym- pathy with her failures and successes which makes it a tlwng of value. We often see the expression, "It is a volume which should be . on cvery book-shelf." "Winsome Woman- hood" should be on every girl's bookshelf, and in her hands when she has an hour for self-culture. Some brief quotations from this work will go to prove its value: '"The reserves of girlhood are an unfathomed sea. The two watch- words of her life are sympathy and freedom, and she nceds both in equal measure, Never was there a greater mistake than to suppose that girl- hood is a season of unalloyed plea sure. To many it is § time of quick- sands and reefs, of romantic dreams which bring only disappointment, and of poignant pain to sensitive na- tures, which are wounded because misunderstood. The home daughter who is not discontented with her lot will not find time hanging heavily on her hands." "A person may excite admiration, may move to envy, without possess- ing the open sesame which unlocks the hearts of others. Only sweet and true natures are endowed with the capacity for enduring friendship." "'Older people smile at the senti- mentality of their young only when youth has waned in their own bosoms, Among the best gifts is sisterly magnetism, which grapples the youth to the hearthstone with bonds of steel." "God means us to be happy. He has made the world radiant with stars by .night, and sun by day." "'Blessed is the girl who is not oc- cupied with the impression she is creating. i "Two young people of opposite creeds have a less profitable outfit for a contented marriage than those of faith." - "Long engagements are to be avoided. Not to wait too long is the part of wisdom." "More trouble and discouragement in home life are due to mismanage- ment of money than to any other cause."' "At fifty the woman of to-day, if her life has been ordinarily easy, aud her health good, looks much as her predecessor a cepyiry ago did at thirty-five." ""The comeliness of middle-age is not like the wild rose flush of early youth, but it is less evanescent. As in autumn the flowers have a sturd- jer growth, 'and a more vivid color- ing than in spring, so in life's matur- ity woman's beauty is pronounced and abiding." ""Youthfulness of feeling, as youth- fulness of appearance, is retained by constant use of the intellect." "The woman who lacks enthusiasm is a wet blanket on tho cheer of others."" "Woman's part in the twentieth century will be what it has always been, notwithstanding her larger share in public enterprises. She must reign in the home,. and the home, thank God, is forever the tent of re- pose, the refuge, the shelter, and the heart's haven of delight." emr------------------ "CLINICS" IN TORONTO. One of the Scientific Phrases That Sound Innocent. The hospital doctors complain of a lack of "clinical material' in Toron- to. 'This is one of the scientific phrases that sound innocent, Some. of us have been "clinical material.' We "bar" not to be so any more. Teachers are quite content to use pictures for illystrations. Some preachers get along very nicely with Timelight views. Why cannot the doc- tors experiment with a few wax- works? Still, if a patient gets a free cot, it is, perhaps, his duty to aid medical science by becoming an ob- ject lesson in clinics. If so, he should (0 get reasonably decent treatment by tfie nurses. After all, that is a shade better than the dissecting room. It also illustrates, quite as aptly the curious brotherhood of the race. A poor man compelled to take the public ward is subject to the same ailments as the man down- stairs, who has a Suite of rooms and a special nurse. The pauper whose cold remains go from the morgue to the second year in medicine has pre- cisely the same nerves and muscles as the magnate who rides past the dis- secting room in a two thousand dol- lar automobile. --Toronto News.

BQURINOT'S POST- * HUMOUS WORK ON LORD ELGIN. ---- Understood Self-Geverament and Did Not Shrink From Giving It Its Way--The Times and the Man--Free Criticism of Many of the Notable Men Whe Came to the Front in Lerd Eigia's Time, Dealing with a most important period in Canadian history, the work of an eminent Canadian writer's last days, the first volume of a notable Canadian scries, the 'Lord Elgin" which has just issued from the press, The author, Sir John George DBourinot, lived to sce the last page of the manuscript turned in to Mr. Duncan Campbell Scott and Prof. Pelham Edgar, but he was not to behold his finished. work in type. Nothing that Sir John Bouri- not ever wrote is more readable than this posthumous work of his. In its style there is none of the strain that is perceptible in some of his ventures outside the field in which he is ' an acknowledged guthority, When his subject is not Parliamentary proce- dure or constitutional doctrine he does not always appear to have the case of manner that might be ex- pected from one having his undoubt- ed familiarity with the facts. Dut there is no literary awkwardness in his latest book. To enjoy reading it & man nced not have a taste for ab- stract principles of Government, though what he will chiefly learn from it is how some of the most prized ol these principles came into practice in our own political system. It has all the interest of a good story. Of the narrative style of a writer whose work has always been largely expository it is unnecessary to say more by way of praise, Self-Goverament. Justice is nowadays on all hands freely rendered to Lord Elgin. He understood what self-government meant, and he did not shrink from giving it its way. In working out the theory he was perhaps bolder than the gquthor of it, Lord Durham, his sagacious father-in-law, 'would have been. Though it had been es- tablished more than five years, it was not yet in smooth operation. In the British Foreign Office it was looked upon as something of a con- tradiction, and thercfore as scarcely workable. As Bourinot says: 'It appears, however, that there was al- ways a reservation in the minds of the Colonial Secretary and of Gover- nors who preceded Lord Elgin as to the meaning of responsible Govern- ment and the methods of carrying it out in a colony dependent on the Crown. Lord Sydenham himself be- lived that the Council should be one 'for the Governor to. consult, and no more' ; that the Governor could 'not be responsible to the Gov- ernment at home, and also to the Legislature of the province,' for if it were so then 'all Colonial Govern- ment becomes impossible." '* It is not possible to revive im its full strength the idea many statesmen of that day had of the incompatibility of the Governor's constitutional. re- lation to the Colonial Legislature and his official relation to the Home Government. Elgig saw that there was nothing irreconcilable in these relations and was convinced that the free action of the British system in Canada would not of itself lead to separation. But if he recognized a larger power in the Colonial Parlia- ment he did not spare the preten- sions that had been put forward as pertaining to his, own ' office. Mr. Bradshaw, whose work, "Self-Gov- ernment in Canada," has appeared since Sir John Bourinot's death, says Lord Elgin made the "mistake" of reducing the Governor to a "fig- urehead."' The Times and the Man. Of the social, political and com- mercial conditions in Upper and Lower Canada when Elgin came a good account is given. An under- standing of them serves to explain much of the difficulty of the Gover- nor-General. Dritain's adoptien of free trade meant loss of a preferent- ial market, The navigation laws excluded the merchantmen of other countries. Racial fecling ran high at times. There were still rebellion ani- mosities. Sir John Bourinot can make allowance for the slowness of British statesmen to grasp the mcan- ing of the change for which the Act of Union prepared, and can under- stand. their apprehensions, but he can see only sclfish partyism in the Canadian Tories who opposed the Baldwin-Lafontaine Administration. He blames them as much for the excitement of 1849 as he does Mac- kenzie and Papineau for the Rebel- lion of 1837. Papineau he regards as a man with no idea of the prin- ciples of Parliamentary 'Government. Of Sir Francis Hincks he says that impartial history must credit his en- terprise and financial talent with good service. to the country, Dr. Ryerson was not a favorite of 'Sir John Bourinot's. The debt of Up- per Canada to the great educationist is freely admitted, but it is denied that he had deep knowledge or a clear power of expression. He is accused of personal vanity and of being a busybody. He "could not re- sist the blandishments of Lord Met- calfe,'"' and "the books he wrote cun never be read with profit or in- terest,"' his '"History of the United Empire Loyalists" being described us '"'probably the dullest book ever comn- piled by a Canadian.' ---- Presented te Sir Percy Gireuard.
