From recent reports, we learn that Speaker Jamieson has decided i to forego for the present the ex- penditure entailed for the public; functions in vogue for many years in the legislature. The proposition, is to curtail the costs and use. the money for patriotic purposes. The idea is a good one, and we hope it will be productive of much fruit. As we understand the situation. an annual allowance over and above his regular sessional indemnity :s allowed to the Speaker. but this extra allowance is supposed to 1-9 used in defraying the expenses of the big functions. From this unâ€" derstanding, if we have the right idea, the allowance will be of no financial benefit to the Speaker. To give it to patriotic purposes will be a wise act, and if Durham patriotic workers get, say $2,000, out, of the $2500, We are quite sure his political friends and oppon- ents in the constituency will have a most delightful remembrance of the generous act. All we ask is $2000, leaving the margin of $500 to be disposed of elsewhere, and ’no questions asked. In this conâ€" nection, we feel like adding our opinion that during the war every member of both parliaments could well afford to contribute from $50 to $100 a month out of their regu- lar sessional allowance, and then not give to the hurting point. This is just a hint for which we claim no originality, nor yet a monopâ€" oly of the idea. W'e regret to Chronicle the very sudden and unexpected death on Thursday last of Mrs. W'. H, Lee, an esteemed old pioneer resident of the tognship of Egrernont. The deceased lady was born in Belfast Ireland in 1853 and three years later came to Canada with her parents who settled at Paris for about five years previous to coming to Egremont in the early sixties. In 1874 she was married to the late Wm. H. Lee who died nearly four years ago. To them were born nine children, six 0" Whom died within a week’s time twenty six years ago, frgm Diptheria. The sxfrviving members of the family are Fred. in Alberta, Arthur at, home and Bell-a., Mrs A J. McNally in _Glenel_g. Tnough ailing at times from heart trouble the deceased was always able to be about and for a few weeks before her death appeared to enjoy unusually good health. Her maiden name was Ellen Mathews, sister of Mr. James Mathews of this town. One sister the only other member of the family died in_II-eland about eight years ago. Shortly before her death she tele- phonedacouple of her neighbors to come and spend the afternoon to do some sewing for the Red Cross and on arriving were appalled on entering the home to find her lying dead on the floor. Interment took place Saturd Maplewood Cemetary. Mr. George Havens received :1 letter from his son Edward who went overseas with the 110th battalion. He gives a description of the trip from Borden Camp to Halifax and then across the ocean where they were protected by cruisers, and where he with others of the troops began to regfize they were going to_ war. He speak's of tlié gfimdeur of the destroyers which go at 40 miles am hour. In crossing they had physical} drill twice a day when the weather per- mitted. The day following their arrival in Liverpool they left for camp at Seaboard on the “funny looking little things” they call trains over there but which travel very fast through a country passing funny sig_h_ts to a Canadian.

The writer has not arrived at the stage where he would be willing to entirely put aside the gun for the camera but he considers the camera Squirrels and Birds Much pleasure can be derived dur- ing closed seasons with a camera. If you are fortunate enough to possess one that could be used to photograph birds on the Wing, you can enjoy your- self immensely by, visiting the breed- ing grounds of shore birds and ducks. Even a picture of our friend the Red Squirrel chattering from a branch of a tree is a great addition to the al- lief run its rapids. work of a moment, :home with a. picture bum. I have found that the vest pocket camera is ideal when you wish to go “light” as on’ account of its small size and its small bulk it is readily until needed. Once when paddling up a swampy creek in a canoe, I came suddenly upon a great blue heron standing in the middle of the stream not over twenty feet away. What a beautiful picture it would have made the great blue-rgey bird standing there doubt- less half asleep! or cohrse, as luck would have it, my camera was at the other end of the canoe, and it would be useless to attempt to reach it without disturbing the heron. How- ever'I had a try and as a result the magnificent bird rose and majestically "winged his way across the marsh. â€"â€" AAL .LL A .

In fact, it is said that no ‘ era or French-Canadians have ever been shown at any of the East- fairs. The Dexters while little ; own comparatively, are said by feople who have studied their charac- . eristics to be the coming cattle in §Brltish Columbia for the small farmer and the householder. They are a little __-_‘-~ MA“A l I black animal, seldom ranging more than 44) inches in height, docile, easily kept, hardy, and excellent milkers. They are also good beef cattle in spite of their smallness, the steers matur~ ing early, and the meat usually com- mending from two to three cents more per pound than other breeds. ‘ Strange Communists Make Good as Fruit Growers in British Columbia The Doukhobors of British Colum- bia who are in. a. sort of “get together" movement are known as “The Chris- tian Community of Uni_ve_rsa_1_Brot§er- hood,” and it is claimed for them that they live in peace and contentment which is not enjoyed by any other sect of people in the world. M. Veregin claims they would all have been enormously wealthy had the Dominion Government, in 1907, not cancelled the 3,000 homesteads in the Yorkton district which the “commun~ ity” had improved. The reason for _- LL- -‘d this cancellation was because the brotherhood could not by reason of their religion, take the oaths neces- sary to be taken in obtaining a home- stead. "'Vwâ€"v The religion of the brotherhood prohibits them from partaking in war, and consequently no members ever enlisted. When they found it impose sible to secure homestesds, the brotherhood decided to purchase 20,000 acres of orchard lands in Brit- ish Columbia, and they have since about one-quarter of this land in a splendid state of cultivation. and hav 3 erected on it a jam factory, saw mills and other industries. About 30 car; loads of fruit each year are shipped from the community. Mr. Veregin has a proposition have the fruits from his orchards sol in markets on the prairies which have previously been stocked with United Bates fruits.

With regard to migratory wild life the necessity for co-operative action is especially ob- vious. In Canada and the United States the protection of this invaluable resource is vested in the individual provinces and states, resDectively. Protective laws were extremely di- verse in both character and efficiency, with the result that the beneficial ef- fects of adequate protection in one portion of the continent were largely nulified by the lack of similar meas- ures in other sections. To secure stricter and more uniform protection negotiations between Canada and the United States were undertaken. The arrangement was satisfactorily con. cluded, the later ratification by the United States Senate constituting the final step. The treaty does not affect the administration of the provincial game laws, but insures in Canada, as ' in the United States, the minimum of i protection regarded as essential to the I permanent preservation of the wild I life resources of North America.
