Lowery’s Little Journal Published In Kaslo During Boom Ended Its Short Career With a Unique Issue Which Is Now Eager- ly Sought by Collectors â€" Printed Its Own Funeral Oration. Westerners who remember the 810- can boom still tell of a paper which is perhaps the most famous publica- tion of the pioneer life of the Rockies. It was Lowery’s Claim, printed in Kaslo, and finally forced out of that town by the hard times which follow- ed the inflation. The paper was founded by Colonel R. T. Lowery, a remarkable character who has made and cheerfully lost something over $30,000 in the many journalistic ventures fathered by him since the days of the liaslo Claim. and who still remains in harness in Greenwood, in the boundary district of the same province, where he now edits The Greenwood Ledge. In the earliest days of my mining experience I became a contributor in a small may to the divers and sundry Lowery pub- lications. and in that way became well acquainted with the “editor and tin- ancier,” as he called himself. says a recent article in a coast paper. He was then, and still is, an original writ- er and an original thinker, a hater of all kinds of Shams and, withal. a man of the most ‘tender heart. and one whom I am proud to number among my very good friends. The venture of the Kaslo boom resulted in a loss of about $1.000; but, nothing daunted, the colonel came to the scratch in the same spot in 1895 and resurrected his first journalistic ven- ture under the name by which it gave up the ghost. He succeeded in re- gaining what he had lost in the boom holocaust, and a fair profit. Still lat- er the paper passed under the editor- ship of Harold Bolce. the well-known magazine writer, who was then con- nected with the late “Barbarian” Brown in his mining ventures in that part of the world, and he in turn gave way at the helm to David King, an- other remarkable character, who has since written much of literary value, and who now resides in New York. At that time the name of the paper was changed to The Kootenaian. and under that title it is still conducted, apparently with success, in the little northern hamlet. The Claim began its career at a very inopportune time, and felt the full ef- fect of the utter stagnation that fol- lowed the meteoric fall in silver a few weeks later. and the consequent. failure of the late John M. Burke’s bank. It struggled along for a few weeks, in the hope that some silver lining would reveal itself in the clouds of encircling gloom, but eventually gave up the ghost and erected it: own tomb on its front page. The publica- tion of this general notification that ously resented by those who were com- pelled to face the music without the wherewithal to reach outer civiliza- tion. and the doughty colonel narrow- ly escaped being the chief guest at a little necktie party arranged in his particular honor. Copies of the last issue of The Claim are few, and now command as much as $25. The Min- ing Review is indebted to Colonel O. T. Stone and A. T. Garland of Kas- 10 for a copy. At the time the paper suspended it. consisted of four pages liberally pat-- ronized by advertisers, but the box office evidently suffered keenly from inability to recover the amounts re- presented in the space thus apportion- ed. A glance at the advertising pages of the final spasm gives one a night- mare of topsy-turveydom that corn- pletes the freaky appearance of the sheet. The advertisements of those in arrears were turned upside down or sideways, or otherwise marred, while the reading matter was graced by in- verted column rules, indicative of the impending journalistic funeral. “The Claim goes up the shaft to- day. and will be deposited in the jour- nalistic boneyard with the amount of regret customary on such occasions. “Its career has been short, but not altogether peaceful. Its readers have been numerous. It has made some friends and a few enemies. The pay- streak having entirely disappeared, we are. forced to prospect somewhere else. To the few staunch friends who have helped us with their money and sympathy we extend our sincere thanks. To our enemies this article will be pleasant reading.

The subject was a convict escaped from the penitentiary, through the safe way of dissolution. He was on the table as an instruc- tive example of appendicitis.

TEE DURHAM CHRONICLE “Dicky” Lane of Montreal Was Head of the “Charity Trust” There. “Dicky” Lane, the genial "Dicky.” is dead, and the poor old mothers, the outcasts, the released jailbirds are wonderihg who is going to fill their baskets for them this winter. baskets for them this winter. For “Dicky” to the poor was like a chirrup of a free canary to a sparrow in a cage. When he crossed a thres- hold care flew out the poor man’s transom and the necessities of life came in; more than that, Dicky’s smile and Dicky’s chatter dispelled the gloom of poverty. “'Dicky” was the genial secretary of the Montreal branch of the Charity Organization Society. For ten years and more he has dispensed riches, in the shape of pound loaves of bread cut into quar- ters, to thoseof Montreal’s humanity too proud to beg, too honest to steal, too weak to work. Not that “Dicky" handed out his charity indiscriminate- ly. Far from it. He was a keen judge of character, and woe betide the habitual bread line man who grov- elled into “Dicky’s” sanctum on Bleury street apeing a sickness. Then “Dicky"s” chirrup became a caustic snap, and the bread line man would be seen not long after hastening away with a chagrined air and a little yel- low ticketâ€"the little yellow ticket de- noting work to be done in some quar- ter of the town before he could eat. “Dicky” was the head of a ”Charity Trust." He had no difficulty in main- taining the monopoly. Besides being a servant of the Lord to the poor, “Dicky” never found a door closed to him airiongst the weal- thy. When he was not conxmiserating with some poor old dame over her lot in life, or picking out waiis and strays from the Recorder’s dock, he became quite a Dean Brumrnel and a boy about town. You never saw him that he did not have a red carnation or a rose in his. buttonhole, topped to the nines. He stood in just as well, perhaps a little better, with the weal- thy old dowagers who have carriages and pair», as, he did with the decayed old ladies who carried off afoot what he put under their shawls. ‘Dicky” was undoubtedly a ladies’ man. ganization Society in Montreal has been Richard Lane. and Richard Lane was the Charity Organization Society. Through his keen interest in this work he had placed himself in a class by himself, and was recognized in all the cities of Eastern Canada and the Unit- ed Stabes as an authority on organized charity.

Canada is regarded in England as already worth serious consideration as a theatrical touring ground. More and more we will find English com- panies coming: to Halifax for an exâ€" clusive Canadian tour. " “Canada as. a theatrical country is gaining every year in favor with Eng- lish managers," said Mr. Graham. ”With the passing of every twelve- month the population is given such an impetus that towns which pre. viously were unanle to support com- panies find themselves suddenly with a nice theatre and a public demand for attractions. “Edward Terry has announced a tour here of eight. weeks solid. That shows faith in Canada by a distin- guished English management and I am convinced that his example will be followed by many others. Canada is a delightful country for the most part to play in; the audiences have likes similar to our own people in England and seem particularly glad to welcome English companies. Original Interpretations. A story is going the rounds of a school teacher in one of the foreign settlements of Toronto, upon whom a deputation of Italian mothers waited with a complaint that they would not have their children taught songs which ridiculed their nationality by referring to them as “dajoes.” In- quiry showed that the offending line occurred in “My Old Kentucky Home,” in which the sentiment oc- curs that “The day goes by like a shadow (in the heart.” So remarks Mr. George Graham, an English actor of high standing who passed through Ontario rocently. This anecdote is matched by a wo- man who had sent her little son to the infant class of a Sunday School. He came home lustily chanting a hymn, and one line caught her atten- tion as it, ran, “White men to the for» ward; dark passengers through." When the small boy was questioned he felt certain that such was the hymn taught them by the teacher, but by piecing out the context his mother found he had made a slizht mistake in catching the words which were in reality “Fight maniully for- ward, dark passions subdue.” “This augurs a pleasani relation in Canada’s theatrical afialrs as time On the “He; Special.” From Thousand Island Junction to Gananoque runs a spur line railway commonly called “The Hog Special.” which is much used by commercial travelers and other unfortunate-7.
