A TOUR OF THE NORTH WITH
In Tiik KocKtKK.
In addition to tho Canadian Pacific
railway which penetrates tho ruckles
and the Selkirks westward from Banff
there are considerable mining and
railway industries south of this point
notably at the Grows Nest Pass which
is at present occupied by thu Canadian
Pacilic railway and the Northern
Pacilic railway or Hill system which
enters the Kootenay country and
passes through nil exceedingly rich
mineral district. This section of the
couutiy contains coal deposits that are
almost inexhaustible consisting of an-
thracite bituminous and coking coal
in quantities uiul deposits that will
last the people of Canada nt double
the present rate of consumption not
for generations only but for centuries
to come. These deposit are reported
to far exceed the coal deposits in thu
Allegany mountains in the eastern
States. The Kootenay country is r!ch
in mineral copper silver and gold
mid although its development is more
or less in an elementary stage much
tas been done and much is buiug
done to aid its development. The
Pacilic coast is reached by a number of
Passes all possessing engineering
dilllcultios of a more or less serious
character butall lending themselves
through thu genius of the engineer to
the necessities of the irrcslstable iron-
norso. The most southerly pass is the
Crows Nnst Pass to which reference
has been made. North of that thorn
is ttie Kicking Horse Pass occupied by
tlie main line of the Canadian Pacilic
railway. To the north of the Kicking
orse Pass and almost directly west
of W'etaskiwiu there is the Yellow
Head Puss. Two charters have been
granted and railways have been al-
ready located in this Pass one being
the Grand Trunk I'aclllo and the
other the Canadian Northern railway.
Still further northward there is thu
Pine River Pass nnd north of that the
Peace River Pass both tributary to
the Peace rivor district. Already the
mysteries of tho Grows Nest the Kick-
ing Horse and thu Yellow Head Passes
hnvc'opened themselves wide to the
triumphnnt railwny engineer and no
doubt in tlio comparatively near fu-
ture botli the Pino River nnd the
Peace River Passes more easily acces-
sible in many respects than tho others

The Anniversary.
One of tho most pleasant social af-
fairs that has taken place In Beaver
for many years was that of the 21st
Anniversary of the founding of the
Presbyterian church of Beaver which
was celebrated bore Sunday and Mon-
day October 18th and 10th
The event had been generally ad-
vertised and a large crowd wus in at-
tendance and enjoyed the pleasures of
the occasion to the utmost.
Tho coming of R. M. Overstrett
first pastor of tho church who is now
eighty odd vears of age. was tho most
pleasant feuturo of tho wholo occasion
and was a source of unspeakable pleas-
uro to tho many old pioneer friends
who came to sco him and to participate
in the happy occasion. During his
stay in Beaver Rev. Overstreet nnd
his family so endeared themselves to
the community that the announcement
of his coming was universnlly hailed
with delight. It was Indeed n gala
day lor old tlmors.. Greetings were
exchanged on every hand and thu old-
tlmo love nnd friendship which grow
so verdant in times of trial and tribu-
lation but which might have in somo
instances become more or less in a
state of lethargy owing to better pros-
perity and multiplied business in-
to ests. wore renewed and everybody
seemed fairly bubbling over witli good
fellowship.
Sunday morning's exorcises con-
sisted of a most interesting uddress by
Rev. R. M. Overstreet. His subject
was "Christianity in Civilization" and
null to do with the past history of our
co j nt ry irom the advuntof settlement
twenty-two years ugo to tho present
time. His address was a revolution to
many of our citizens whoso residence
is of a recent date. Many who thought
they were enduring tho hardships of a
new country nt this time found that
they were enjoying a "land of milk
and honey" us compared to thoso who
lived here in the days of "No Man's
Land" when tho only law was the law
of might and right was not always
considered. We wish that space would
allow'tho publication of Rev. Over-
street's address in full for thero wore
many features thnt would prove in
Moosu Jaw
Moose Jnw is thu divisional point on
the Canadian Pacilic railway about J
100 miles west of Winnipeg. It has n
population of about 8000. It is sur-
rounded by a very Hue wheat produc-
ing country Like Regiua the land is
a heavy clay It Is looked upon
quite a railway centre and is a strong
rival to the town of Regina both in
commerce and advancement although
only somo forty miles distant. Here
the Sou line comes in from St. Paul
and a new railway from this point is
located running northwesterly Into
daskalchcwau. Moose .law is a very
lirogressivu place nnd possesses a good
country.
Indian Hmad.
Indian Head is situated in tho cele-
brated Qu'Appclle valley about 820
miles west of Wlnuepcg a noted dis-
trict for its wheat production. Here
also the Dominion Government have
an experimental farm
Kkoina.
Regina tho capital city of tho prov-
ince of Saskatchewan Is one of tho
most enterprising and progressive of
the cities of the plains. It haB a popu-
lation of something over 10000 per-
sons and has doubled its population
within thu last live years. It is sit-
uated in one of the best wheat pro-
ducing parts of the western country.
In addition to a large number of pub-
lic buildings of a most attractive char-
acter it is a well laid out community
with broad well made streets an un-
usually largo number of very pretty
and attractive private residences. For
some years it iias been tho head-
quarters of tho Royal NoUhwest
Mounted Police possessing a tlrst class
club and has more than tho usual
share of social life to bo found in tho
smaller western cities. Regina has an
appearance of solidness and perma-
nency that indicates not only the
thrift and determination of its resi-
dents but the marked confluence thoy
have in its future. During tho past
few years now buildings have been
added at u rapid rate and with the
stiitlomoiu of thu vast stretch of coun-
try Immediately to tho south and bo-
tweon itseir ana thu noununry una
there is assured for tho city of Regina
a vast measure of increased growth
and iirospority. Besides being on the
iiiniii line of thu Canadian Pacilic
railway it is the starting point of tho
teresting reading to our subscribers
and it was in tho whole n Bplendid ar-
rangement of facts of tho early hi-tory
of Beaver County.
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock a
reminiscence meeting was conducted
at which time many of tho pioneer
settlers of tho county spoko Promi-
nent among those who entertained the
congregation wuro: Mrs. II. E.
Blanuhurd who gave a history of tho
church from its founding to tho pres-
ent; W. T. Quinn who held tho un.
divided attention of the pt op'e In the
recital of his early day experiences and
recalled many amusing Instances and
early day occurrences that time cannot
blot out ; T. P. Braldwood whoso sense
of the ridiculous is fully developed
and who kept the crowd in an uproar
during tho cntlro time of his talk with
a recital of all thu funny things that
ever happened in the early days or
that could bo produced in his fertile
brain in thu'intcrvaltuin; J. Blauchard
who painted a picturu of tho past and
futuru; J. R. Quinn who spoku of tho
progress of the church; Ruv Walkor
who talked on tho futuru of thu church
and Rov. Overstreet who recounted
many of tho pleasant times of days
gono by.
Tho evening service was conducted
by Rev. Walker who delivered a most
interesting sermon. Special music
was furnished for all thesu occasions .
The celebration closed Monday night
with a reception given at the church
by thu Ladies' Circle It was an in-
formal affair and was enjoyed to the
utmost by largo nunibwr or tlio peo-
plo of Beaver and vicinity Light re-
freshments wore served and nt the
customary hour thu crowd dispersed
after singing "God bo with you till wo
meet again" and bidding our honored
guest goodbye
Thus ended one of thu most pleasant
events that has ever taken place in
Beaver nnd it. was a time that will
long bo remembered sacredly.

Up to the People.
J. W. Webb who went to Wiohilti
last week on business pertaining to
thu building of thu Beaver Vulloy &
Northwestern railroad returned homo
thu early part of tho week with very
encouraging news as to the probable
building or thu mad. All the pre-
liminary plana have been completed
nnd nbout thu only thing that seems
to bo left In do Is tho securing of thu
right-of-way nnd tho necessary sub-
scription of stock to thu amount of
11000.00 per mile nnd the road will bo
built.
Thus far thu peoplo of Beaver Gugo
and Hooker have shouldered thu bur-
dun of promoting tho railroad propo-
sition but it Is now up to the people
along thu line of survey to put up or
shut up. Everything has been dono
that can be dono and tho prospects for
a railroad ut nn early. date was never
half so bright but wo have reached tha
point now wheru tho peoplo must act
and not at unco if thoy expect to reap
the untold benellt of a railroad through
our prosperous county.
No one can help but reallzo tho great
benefit such n railroad would bo to
every resident of the county and no
ouo can afford to stand back now and
lot the proposition Blip through our
lingers whuu it is so easy to reach out
and grasp it Boar this in mind tho
railroad will not bo built until tho
right-of-way is secured and $1000.00
per mile in stock subscribed. Don't
get thu Idea that that $100.00 farm of
yuurs is worth $100000.00 nqw just be-
cause the railroad survey happens to
go through It and expect to hold tho
railroad company up for that amount
for right-of-way. Stop up like a man
nnd say "Hero this railroad will
double yes thrlbblu the value of my
farm. You nre wclcomo to tho right-of-way
through it FREE OF
CHARGE." A few such declarations
as that from tho stubborn onei and the
black smoke will bo rolling over our
beautiful prairies from thu engino of
tho Beaver Valloy & Northwestern and
prosperity and plenty will bo ours.
On tho other hand a few "holdup"
games and tiioproposltlon-it-ettTor y
over. '
However we do not anticipate afty
great InrjlbleW&ctrfjng-the" rightly
way and subscriptions of jstoek. Our
people have grown tired of bcing:forty
miles from a railroad and of thu diu- i
advantages und expenso incident
thereto and we feel that they will
''jump at tho chance" to better their
condition Wo only want to impress
upon thorn that tho proposition is now
up to them nnd if thoy do not act they
will bo turning down tho best propo
sition they overbad or can over ex-
pect to have.
Of course it will bo remembered that
these subscriptions of stock can bo
worked out and there is not a fanner
in tho county within twenty miles of
the proposed route but who can afford
to subscribe at least $100.00 of stock
and more.
Wo hope that wo may have struck
the keynote with many of our readers
in this mutter and that when tho com-
mittee clls upon them for subscrip-
tions that they will bo given hearty
wclcomo and n generous' amount of
st'Hjk subscribed. This Is not mero
idle talk but facts which should sink
deep into the minds of the people. IF
AVE GET THE RAILROAD. WE
MUST. 8TJS0RIBE THE RIGIIT-OF
WAY AND 1000.00 PER MILE
STOCK.
