Among the appointments appearing in British Columbia Gazette is that of Herbert John Gardner, of Stanley, as a coroner for Cariboo District. H. Gallagher, roadmaster ontheG.T. P., while traveling eastward t"rom Terrace on a railway motor-cycle, was struck by a train coming from Van Aradol, injured or killed, and flung off the line into deep water in the Skeena river. His body haa not been recover* ed. Word comes from the Nechaco of the serious wounds received by a man named Ben Murray, from the attack of a grizzly bear. Mr. Murray was walking on the trail when the animal attacked him, badly lacerating his head and face, and tearing out one eye. He was taken to Quesnel for medical treatment. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the militant suffragette leader, and Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Lawrence, joint editors of Votes for Women, were all found guilty and each was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment on the charge of conspiracy and inciting to malicious damage to property. ¦ The Kootenay Central Railway Company has taken over seventy-five acres of the William J. Barry ranch at Spill-imachene, on the east bank of the Columbia river, and will lay out a towmite to be known as Spallumacheen, which will be placed on the market in the near future. This will be the central town-site between Golden and Lake Winder-mere. Three years in the penitentiary was the sentence imposed on a clerk in the Vancouver postoffice who was found guilty of the theft of money from His Majesty's mails. The young man, who has been a well known resident and a trusted employee of the postoffice for the last six years, felt his position keenly, while his weeping mother, who was one of the spectators in court when sentence was pronounced, was led away in a state of collapse.

Joe Lasalle, the well-known trapper of Goat River, arrived in Barkerville last week with a large bunch of 4fine furs, principally marten and Beaver. He estimate* his catch for the season at $1200. After resting up for a week or so in town from his winter labors, Joe intends going out after grizzly and black bear, which he states are very numerous in the vicinity of the Goat river. Speaking at*the banquet of the University of New Brunswick alumni, Hon. George E. Foster deplored the fact that the public men of Canada were kept so busy that they had not the time fully to consider the problems of the country. Members of parliament while in Ottawa, he said,' are harassed by an enormous correspondence, produced by the patron-age system, which was simply damnable. Members of the government and parliament had not the opportunity earnestly to consider the matters before them, consequently their decisions were often hastily given. At the rising townsite of Nicholl, the G.T.P.'b first divisional point out of Prince Rupert, situated at Mile 119 on the railway, there is a thriving scene of bustle and activity. Since the sale of the lots in Prince Rupert interest is focussed more sharply than ever upon the new town. Business men are arranging to locate there and before long | the townBite will be, bristling with new j buildings. Everyone has assured confidence'in the future of this point. Its selection as the first divisional point out of Prince Rupert places it in the forefront of Skeena river townsites.

The chase after the Indian outlaws, Paul and Spintlam, has shifted from Canoe Creek to the head of the Bona-part. Their location, at last reports, was 100 miles southeast of Canoe Creek at Fish Lake. They abandoned the horse they had stolen from Napoleon Pigeon and stole another from an old squaw at Fish Lake. The squaw saw them taking the horse and went out to investigate, but before she could talk to the outlaws they were gone. There are now sixty officers on the work. A cordon has been drawn around the desperadoes to keep them from getting into the Clearwater country, where it is expected they might be safe for several years. With their retreat to this stronghold cut off they can not but fall back on the Canoe Creek and Dog sections, in which event they will be caught. The head 'waters of the Bon: -parte, where they were last Been, is replete with brush and small creeks, Roberts, Jones & Wilson cu; EDWARD ROBERTS fUtatrhblk. E. E. JONES. A. J.
