The good sleighing has largely abated the fear of a wood famine, which threatened with prolonged soft weather. The high prices caused by the coal strike have also some- what abated.

Most of them seemed to forget that the disgrace rested on the citizens as a whole rather than on their official repre- sentatives. All jesting aside, it is surely high time a respectable Opera House was built. 1f properly built, it would yield a revenue that would pay the interest on the capital neces- sary to build it. Many citizens dread the Arctic temperature that usually prevails at all winter entertainments. l 'lhe Spirited blacks that so gaily ; whisk the ones to and from the sta- ltiou. have lately been decorated with mew high-sounding. soul-stirring ihells at the breast-straps.
