Gold Rush to B. C.
Rich placer claims have been
found at McConnel Creek, near
Vancouver B. C., starting a gold
rush with planes being used by
those in a hurry to get there.
The gold is reported as being
similar in size of rice and beans
and in rich quantity.

A STRANGE BILL
-x
There was a bill introduced at
the last legislature which pro
vided that the Territorial trea
surer might take stock in lieu of
bonds from banks in protection
of funds in deposits in banks.
This bill protected the treasurer
who took from Donnelley, presi
dent of the Bank of Iditarod,
stock he was taking to Seattle to
cover needed loans or financing
for his bank. During the legis
lature, it is said that the trea
surer held this stock and im
mediately upon adjournment the
stock was handed back to Harry.
It was never stated whether the
territory was any better pro
tected after handing the stock
back to him or not. Suffice to
say, Harry voted just as the
Federals directed at all times
and he had little thought for the
constituency which elected him
to represent them.
,We suppose the people of the
Second Division will return him
to the legislature as their se
nator on his record. His record
shows subserviency of the good
interests of the people of the
Territory to the demands of the
money bags and federals. Which
is not a record to elect any man
on nor to be proud of.

The boss who sits today in a
sv/ivel chair sat yesterday upcn
a hard bench.
Blessed is the man who does
not look upon his neighbor’s lux
uries as his own necessities.
