Efforts in 1916 regarding roads wert centred chiefly around the work of the ‘*Good Roads Associaâ€" tion‘‘ formed in this ecamp. Here is a paragraph that indicates what was attempted ~to better conditions :â€" a â€" Gfessâ€" suit;j; onliy been worn a couple of times; cost nearly $70.00; would suit a man aâ€" round 6 feet or over.

Messrs Sulltivan and Vaughan were the umpires. Neither team was up to full strength in reâ€" gard to regular players. but there was much hard hitting and general good play, and it was all round a lively old game. There is always romance and interâ€" est in the want advt. column. Anyâ€" one with a good imagination and a sense of hummu can get much amuseâ€" ment from *‘figuring out‘‘ the why and the wherefore of some want advts. Here, for example, is one from The Advance of July 19th, 1916 : ‘‘For Saleâ€"â€"Full dress suit; only been worn a couple of times; cost nearly $70.00; would suit a man aâ€" round 6 feet or over.

Ten years ago the Poreupme Viâ€" pond Mines, Ltd., was among the proâ€" ducing properties of the Camp. â€"At that time Mr. C. H. Poirier was the manager of the Vipamd, and The Adâ€" vance gave an interesting report of the mine for the three months endâ€" ing June 30th, 1916. The tonnage milled was 10,185 tons, and the bulâ€" lion produced was $37,600.00 for the period noted. The imall ran 82 per cent, of possible running time. The operating costs totalled $4 45 per ton, divided as follows:â€"mining, $1.17,; development, prospecting, d.iamond drilling and shaft sinking, 95 cents; milling, $1.30; general, 49 cents. Here is a joke that has recently been going the rounds of the press. Like a great many other paragraphs and items it was published by The Advance when it was really "‘"news."‘ Many may have smiled t it recently. Readers of The Advance had their chance to laugh at it tem years ago :â€"â€" ‘*The former big league baseball manager, who had been eanned beâ€" cause the team finished last as usual was taking a civil service examinaâ€" tion in order to secuve a political job.

Ten years ago, the matter of fire protection was given due conâ€" sideration by the citizens just as it is toâ€"day. The Advance ten years ago said :â€"‘*Sehumacher is to have a new fire hall, and the corporation are now looking: around to secure the best electric pump available; one someâ€" thing similar to that at South Poreuâ€" pine will likely. be installed. The council are alsw going to put in i 1300â€"ft. underground pipe extension from the one at present terminated at the Aurora Hotel.

The Association has secured a tenâ€"ton steam roller for use in the district, for which $3,500 has been paid out of money subscribed by the mines of the district.

W. Peterson, publisher of The Farm and Ranch Review, of Calâ€" gary, Alberta. After close study in the matter, Mr. Peterson has hbeen writing on Canada‘s taxation, Canaâ€" da‘s railway situatrion, and other Caâ€" nadian ]m)hlen.., In each case the problems all appear to depend for solution upon a proper colonization policy. With the right immigration the burden of taxation would be shar" ed by increased numbers and so lose its grinding weight to the individual business and taxpayer.
