The way carloads of cattle are
being brought into the Bulkley
valley looks as if the people had
realized what the valley was most
adapted for. They have decided
to sell no cheap feeds this year.
Cattle are more in demand.

The difference between the
new chancellor of the exehequer
for England and our own treasur-
er is that the chancellor can get
his cheque cashed for $5,000,000, -
000, while our treasurer has con-
siderable difficulty in getting his
‘cheque cashed for $5.00
Mining is the surest investment
and the best gamble and. the
cleanest business a man can enter
today.. From the mines must
come-the metals to keep the war
‘going. From the: mines must
‘come the metals to reconstruct
‘what the war has destroyed. ‘Get
“into the game now, boys, while
_ there is an easy entrance. —

months.

both copper and zinc producers
in this western country at the
present time is something mar-
velous, and present. market con-
ditions bid fair to insure even a
greater production, And this
demand will be by no means tem-

ue during the war,: ‘and also. for
Many years thereafter, when the
reconstruction period will require
almost as great an amount of the
metals. ‘as is now being used. in
the period of strife.
