Opening Old Hospital
The regular meeting of the Hospital
Board was held at the Hospital
on "Wednesday with a good
attendanre of membersi, and an
unusually large amount of business
was attended to.
A good deal of the preliminary
work has been acocmpLshed towards
the new addition to the
Hospital, but in the meantime it
is very evident that more accomodation
must be available for the
coming winter. For that reason
the Board has again been forced to
consider making some very temporary
repairs to the old hospital
building.
The finance committee is beginning
to get results for the great
number of meetings they have
been holding of late, and a large
number of acounts came up for
review at the meeting.
The number of hospital days for
October was 346— at an average
per capita cost of $2,12, This low
per capita cost is partly accounted
for by the Pound Day which took
place in the latter part of'September.
It appears that there were a
few people who were not able to
donate to the Pound Day on the
advertised date, so the Board takes
this opportunity of thinking
them for their donations.
Don't forget your annual membership

A motion was carried that a delegation
which would consist of

A. W. MacMorran, see the Minister
of Agriculture at Victoria, asking
that a strict grading and inspection
be made on all cattle
brought into the province, thus
eliminating the glut on the market
that seriously affects the sale
of Cariboo beef.
The mlatter of allowing a 4'/2C

at great length, A motion
was tabled asking that the above
delegation request the cancellation
of this reduction, but on further
discussion the mover and his
seconder agreed to withdraw their
motion.
It was decided to hold election
of officers for the Cariboo Stockmen's

TO CANADA'S ADVANTAGE
ANADIANS this week are more
or less celebrating with their
American cousins the result of the
Presidential election in the United
States. The return of President
Roosevelt for another term means
nearly as much to the welfare of
Canada as to the people of the
United States. It guarantees in the
first place the maintenance of the
price of gold at its present standard,
and in this one item alone
British Columbia, and we in Cariboo
in particular, are vitally interested.
It also guarantees the
continuation of the trade treaties
which were made between Canada
and the United States two years
ago, and which have proved so
beneficial to both countries.
There appeai-s to be only one fly
in the ointment, and that is the
fact that President Roosevelt received
such an overwhelming
mandate. It is far better for the
Government of any country under
the parliamentary system if the
seats are more evenly divided between
the Govrnment and the Opposition.
We in British Columbia
can vouch for the truth of this
statement. Of late years we have
witnessed two "landslides" in Provincial
Government, and both of
these administrations left much to
be desired in their terms of office.
We will hope, for our own sakes
as well as for the people of the
United States, that the Roosevelt
administration will not run into
governmental snags in this, its
second'termyof office.
MAIL SERVICE IN QUESNEL
T HAS BEEN brought to our at­
I tention several times of late, in
fact, s'nce the change 'from summer
to winter schedule on the Pacific
Great Eastern Railway, that
the mail service in Quesnel is just
about as'bad as can possibly be.
We wish to point out, however,
that we do not believe that this
poor service is. the fault of the local
post office, but rather to the
lateness in train arrival. The local
office has to handle incoming mail
from Prince George, Wells and
Parkerville and from the south all
at the same time mail days, as
w=;ll as despatching mails to these
points. The Pacific Great Eastern
tra'n is not due here mail days until
2:30 p.m., and is quite frequently
late. As a result, the local general
delivery wicket is rarely opened
before 5:30 or 6 p.m., and
at times it has been after 6 o'clock
before it was opened.
This works severe hardships on
farmers and those who live at a
distance from town, as well as on
business men who, even if they
have a post office box, have little
or no opportunity of answering
important correspondence and
getting it away on the outgoing
train, which leaves at 5:50 p.m.
The people of Quesnel want
more prompt mail service, and apparently
the only manner in which
it can be accomplished is by having
the bi-weekly train arrive here
earlier, preferably on the old summer
schedule.
TWrNTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
The steamer B X hit a rock aboub
nine miles from town on her
way up from Soda Creek. We understand
that a large hole was
made in the hull and the boat was
beached while freight is being removed.
The mail was brought in
by waggon.
TFIN YEARS AGO
A number of children in town
have recently developed chicken
pox, but the cases are mild and
there seems to be no danger of an
epidemic.
WINDMILL TO BE USED AGAIN
A 150-year-old windmill in
Cornwall road, Clapham Park, S.
W., London, is to be taken over by
a Clapham miller, John Ward, of
Lyham road, who hopes to have
its sails turning again before
Christmas, after an interval of 70
years.
The original .sails were removed
half a century ago, but Mr, Ward
is to fix new ones, install new m'achinery,
a new grinding-stone, and
oven to bake bread from the flour
ground.
REMARKS
By S. E, HIGGS
Unless there is some intervention
from the nation's high places, it
seems that the case of the three
Indians, the George
INDIAN Brothers, convicted
AFFAIRS of murder, is closed,
and they must pay
the supreme penalty. The last to
condone such a. crime as theirs, or
to defend their characters, I do
not, hov/ever, hesitate to question
the justice of the courts. Were
there no attendant circumstances
which one could plead in defence
of the natives? What of the record
of the victim?'What of the regu-^
lations governing the policy of the j
polic ng of the Indians. Will the i
execution of these brothei-s also'
see the end of the "moiety system"
by which half of all fines collected
from the Indians become the
perquisite of the constable? Will,
uniforms be issued to the Indian
Police so that they v/ill no longer
I)e able to creep up on unsuspecting
victims as they have been wont
to do? And will the Nicola Valley
Indians and ther friends be re-
'mbursed the $3,000 and more that
it has cost them to obtain what
they considered to be the best possible
defence? This money represents
horses and cattle, beans and
gloves, moccasins, guns and plows.
If they have anyth'ng else to sell
the case might yet go on. Will a
hundred and more changes take
place for the good of the men
whose land we inhabit? Will they?
Do you want to know what the
Indians think?. Some day someone
will be bold enough to tell!

COMING vanished.Middle aged
OF AGE people today, and a
few of their younger
brothers and sisters, are enabled
to look back upon a rare occasion
in their lives the like of which the
present generation can never
know. The "attainment of one's
majority" was the last great milestone
to be reached in the process
by which youth achieved itsi emancipation:
and what a grand
occasion it was! At the age of 21
education could be considered
complete, for after school came
the post graduate course in higher
education which could be provided
for all classes in the home, and
from, the lower stra.tum to the
highest the majority of parents
knew^what to teach and had the
courage to do so. Then there were
those other schools; the factory,
the workshop, the schools of apprenticeship,
the army and navy,
the college and university. Only
when these stages had been passed
did the fond parent feel that
his major obligation had been discharged
to the best interests of
his offspring, and he handed over
the key of the front door with a
pride and dignity which would do
credit to many a modern Lord
Mayor who confers the Freedom
of his city fo a person of worthy
distinction. The parent had superintended
the fledgling's growth,
and he knew the wings ought to
carry him, and his own contribution
to his country and posterity
had been faithfully discharged.
What a catastrophy the last few
years have wrought! At the age of
21 young people can look back on
five, six, yes
IT'S "GOODBYE seven years

which has manacled and bound
them that they will never be free
again. I admit that boys of eighteen
who were big enough to
shoulder a riflle on the fields of
France, where many of them still
lie in fields of not forgottes glory.
I admit that they bought the right
to be free. They paid the price
but "the goods" were not delivered.
But must we still plead extenuating
circumstances? Are we not
wiser for the lessons of the past?
What shambles we are making of
the once glorious playgrounds of
Youth! Has instituted authority
lost all of its courage? Have parents
lost sight of the sanctity of
their profession? You can't say
no.: all the other young people
do these things": and so the young
Man and the Young Wowan of
fourteen, fifteen and sixteen are
allowed to aome and go as they
please; to drink if they want to;
dance because they must, and experiment
with life because they
can't help it! You can't dispense
with the bit and bridle when you
are training a mettlesome horse,
why let go of the reins because
the child shies at the bit! Is it
then goodbye to the glorious years
of youth, to the games and the
songs and the toils of youth? The
