Touching the question of ac- tual"valnes, His Honor strongly condemned the practice of township .assessors ignoring the terms of the statute, and returning an assessment roll gured at perhaps only 40 per cent. of the true valuation. This lmethod, he said, could never produce -- - - - - - A Q Au-L L`an& uuuu ua`r` `\1-stint don vestigation. The object in view, he supposed, was that each assessor was afraidof -his municipality having a higher county rate than that of its neighbor, The assessor must abso- utely follow `r the direction of the statute, . enjoined the Judge. The equalization by the `County Council amended the trouble only to a small extent. Raising the Question, How does the occupant differ from the ten- ant?, Judge Ardagh answered by saying: Anyone not owner, put him down as tenant. Never mind any- thing about occupant. ` The small number returned as lia- ble for income tax was commented upon by the Judge. He reminded those present that income could be taxed no matter whether earned in- side or outside .the Province. e An interesting discussion arose on `the point of what constituted actual ' value.

The visitors came to dispute with the old country the honours on the ice, and] yesterday, in the strict sense, the issue began.

I5 Terrible Experieixfe of an Old Barrie A Ban despatcli to the Calgary Herald of recent date tells of a ter- rible experience of Tom Wilson-a. former ari-ieite--who by the exer- cise of the qualities of a true front- iersman won his way from the very jaws of a horrible death in the wild- erness. It says : ` . T. Wilson, whose feet were frozen on his trip from Kootenay plain to Laggan, is doing well, and hopes are en_tertained of saving all his toes. --f_I 1.- LL- .`.-\.\l-r\o-- T,`yQ kg,` "`IltCl't8.ll'le(l UI saving an In: Luwu. Tom said to the doctor: I ve had them quite a while, and I d hate to lose any now, so every eort is be- ing made to save the frostbitten members. That Mr. Wilson is alive to-day is due to the most dogged presevei-- ance and his almost unbelievable ef- forts against fearful odds-_ ' When he left his ranch on the Kootenay plain, he was accompanied to the summit of the Pipestone by an Indian, who turned from that point to the ranch. Mr. Wilson start- ed over the summit on Saturday morning, and had not gone `far be- fore he found himself in a blinding snowstorm--or to be more correct, a blizzard. The whirlwind snow made it impossible to judge where he was goin so he followed the course of the ipestone creek, trusting to the snow bridges to carry his weight. It was not long before he was let ` through into the water, and with the ' thermometer below zero the danger of the situation was fully realized _ by the experienced woodsman. 1': .1... maataan had taken place at a Dy tne expcncnccu wuuus........ If the mishap had taken place Inoint where wood could be secured `for a re, there would have been nothing worse than the delay and in- convenience of drying his wet foot- wear before a "hot re, but the treacherous bridge was two miles above the timber line, and in the time consumed in covering that dis- _tance the damage was done. The situation was then serious, `and real- izing this,.Mr. Wilson travelled all Saturday night in order to get as far toward Laggan as possible before the inflammation in his feet brought him to a standstill. After Sunday. his grub supply ran out, as he should have reached Laggan on Sunday af- ternoon. Monday, the total distance travelled was three miles, but pluck would` not admit defeat, and Wed- ; nesday he dragged himself into Lag- gan in time to catch the night ex- press for home. ` ; II2 Majority for.

The American buffalo, and its various crosses; with the long-haired cattle of the Highlands, have been` tried, but so far without satisfactory re- sults, chie'y`because of the unman- ageable nature of the buffalo.

The yak or woolly ox - has been formedbye nature for the northern ranges, and has long been domesticated by man, so that the !work of adapting and subduing it is `already done. . , Its native haunts `are the snow-cla.d rocky hillsides and `bare mountains of Thibet, even up lto twenty thousand feet above the sea, going higher, as some think, than any other animal.
