COUNTY FAIR IN "BIG TOWN"
How New York City Cousin Won the
Day Over Boy From the ,
Farm.
Ti e (nuntry buy had been visiting- his
city cousin for a week and was about
o return tu the rural districts, savs
the New York Sun. The city cousin
liad shown the country boy all the
stilus—Broadway and Times square,
the parks, the *00, the subways and
about all the other things which the
out-of-town boy would he Interested
In. During the last few days of the
■stay In the city of the country boy the
two were compering the rural districts
and the big town.
"Yon know." said the cltv cousin
proudly, "one can buy anything In
this town that is grown, manufactured
or produced In any pari of the world.
All you need Is the money and some
one here will surely have to sell what
you want."
"Well, there's one thing that you
don't have here and can't duplicate
that we have." returned the country
boy, "and I've missed It while I've
been In town."
"Why. what's that?" asked ills cousin,
who had tried valiantly to amuse his
relative from the country.
"The county fair." triumphantly an
swered the one froij^the outlying ills
tricts. For a few moments the city
cousin was stumped. He didn't answer,
while Ills relative went on to relate the
splendors of the fairs. Suddenly he
grubbed his country relative's arm and
virtually dragged hlui into a subway.
A downtown express sped them toward
Fourteenth street. Here they alighted
and walked up Into Union square.
Wlrh a smile of triumph the city
cousin led Ids rural relative into one
of the "dime museums" along Four
teenth street and said: "Here you are!
Shooting galleries, calliope music, for
tune tellers, pictures of Salome
daucers and everything you want, and
It only costs a cent to try them out.
Go to It! We've got everything In
this town you have- and morel"
Atlin Notes
Atlin. B. C„ March 4, 1922
An unusual accident happened to
the mail stage on Wednesday morn
ing. by which Mr. Louis Schultz lost
a valuable team of horses. When
about two miles from Atlin, enroute
to Carcross. one of {he horses drop
ped throuKh a crack in the ice which
had opened up on the trail, running
parallel to it. Snow had drifted
across the crack, completely hiding
It from horses and driver. The
horse dropped through the crack so
quickly that he jerked his mate off
her feet, turning her completely
over so that she fell on her back
on top of the horse in the water.
Driver Paul Tingley and Napoleon
Compeau did all i.i their power to
save the horses, the former return
ing to Atlin on foot for assistance,
but before this could reach the place
both horses were dead.
Vic Stevens, in charge of the
White Pass property at Taku. start
ed on foot for Atlit the same morn
ing to get supplies, and without any
warning whatever he suddeuly
found himself in the water hanging
by his elbows to the edges of a
crack, covered with drifted snow,
through which he had dropped. He
got out without difficulty.
It has frequently been remarked
that never before has the lake rum
bled so much as during the present
winter. The rumbling has been
practically continuous since the ice
formed, and at times was so loud
and. strong as to cause many to
think it was an earthquake shock,
the vibrations being quite distinctly
felt in the houses on the water
front. Once the rumbling was
heard at Discovery—6 miles distant
There was a very strong disturbance
Monday night, which is supposed to
have caused the cracks to open.
Mrs. Paul Eggert, Miss Dorothy
Taylor, Jack Taylor and Mickey Eg
gert drove to the L'ngineer mine to
Bpend the week end with Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Sotham. They return
ed Wednesday evening, having had
a most delightful trip.
Corporals McCleery and Tidd. R
C. M. P., left here a week ago for
the Nakina country, on patrol, and
are expected back again next week.
Atlin presents a clean bill of
health now. There was quite a run
of chicken pox but all cases have
cleared up and everyone is well
again.
Chris. Beaton, who has been in
the hospital for some time owing
to an accident at the mine on Spruce
creek, Is improving.
BIG ELKS' BALL U>

The social committee of the Elks

have done for the past twenty years.
A big ball will given on the
night of the 18th, »s that will give
out of town peoplb an opportunity
of attending.
More will be told about this .'.fair
later on.
QUEER COLT ON
TOLSTOY ESTATE
They Practice Doukhobors Ideal
ism, With a Mingled Belief
in Buddhism.
MANUAL LABOR A RELIGION
Declared Enemies of Destruction of
Property, Human or Animal Life,
and Oppose Soviet Gov
ernment.
^ nsniya Polyana, Russia.—Fifteen
young men, two young women and an
elderly matron have recently estab
llahed on the Tolstoy estate what they
term "an Improved bolshevik coin
"Unity." Described as an attem|.t to
rectify failure of communism, the
members of the colony nre the declared
enemies of the destruction of property
human or nnlmal life, und thus are ar
rayed against the soviet government
The members of the colony make a
religion of manual labor and declare
Its chief tenet to .be embodied in the
phrase "Love thy neighbor as thyself."
They declare themselves, like Count
Tolstoy, "searchers for the truth in all
things." They arrived here In earlv
September with a permit from Moscow
to occupy u portion of the estate now
classed as a national Institution.
Teacher Organize* Movement.
A teacher, whose brother is director
of the colony, organized the movement.
The IS members, all of whom profess
the practical Idealism of the Poiikho
bors Sect; with a mingled belief In
Buddhism, were alloted quarters in a
once handsome but now tumble-down
one-Story building of the estate built
In 17S0 for the serfs of Prince Volkon
skl. father of Tolstoy's mother.
The new nrrlvals have made the
building habitable and have started to
prepare for the cultivation of the UK)
acres included In their grant. Food so
far has been supplied free by the soviet
government, the same as to all visitors
to the Tolstoy home. The three women
do the cooking.
The correspondent camp tlrst In con
tact with n member of the colony In a
rather strange manner.
After a long journey, he had been
enrolled a< a pilgrim at the Tolstoy
home, according to the rules of the In
stitution. He was given s bed in the
ground floor room, i hara-terlzetl by a
brick arch, a room occupied by ToNtov
some fifteen years, .lust a« he was
dropping oft to sleep he was roused
by pleasing chords on the grand piano
located in the room. The playing was
done by a young man who wore high
boots, a belted Jaeket and a sheepskin
cap. Seeing the Correspondent, he
stopped playing and apologized, saving
he dldn t know the room was occupied.
Then lie went on to explain who he
was am! began to ask Information
about the possibility of walking to In
dia. by way of Turkestan. He wanted
to study philosophy there, he said.
Orchard Trees Whitewashed.
The l(*>-acrc farm Includes a big or
chard. planted by the famous Russian
author, and one of the first acts of the
newcomers was to whitewash all the
trees. This operation was preceded by
an animated discussion as to whether
It should be done. The young men care
fully debated this problem. If the trees
are not whitewashed the orchard will
be ruined by Insects, but If the white
wash Is applied the Insects will die of
starvation and It is wrong to destroy
life. As the members of the Colony
are vegetarians and fruit Is therefore
the prime article of food to them, ne
cessity prevailed over Ideals and the
whitewashing whs done.
A second problem was solved much
after the same reasoning. For many
years the manager of the Tolstoy es
tate has been Prince Oholinskl,' who
occupied a building once used by the
author us a peasants' school. ' The
newcomers, declaring that the presence
of an overseer might restrict their
'liberty of action." have decreed that
the prince nntst go. and the Oholinskl
family soon must seek food uud shel
ter elsewhere.
HER MEALS WIN HER $60,000
Philadelphian's Will Rewards Cook
With Bequest of Money and
Automobile.
Philadelphia, Pa.—Her ability to
cook lias earned Mrs. Anna Souder
{110.000 and an automobile. This stun
and the motor car were left to her by
the will of Samuel W. Ihlltig. for
whom she was housekeeper.
After the death of his wife Mr.
Ihllng frequently came to the Souder
home for meals. They appealed to
him. Mrs. Souder said, with the re
sult that he invited her ami Mr. Souder
fo live In his home and keep house
for him.
Parrot Betrays Master.
Seattle. Wash.— More trouble for
Chris Dahl of Burien City. And all
because of his crested parrot. Sheriff
Starwlch and his deputies visited the
house when no one was home but the
parrot. By his .iabberings of "booze"
and Its associations the parrot be
trayed his master and Inspired the of
ficers to search so diligently that they
found a barrel of mash tinder a drain
board. Not content with this discov
ery. the ofticers returned to Dahl's
house and found a still iu the under
brush they say. Dahl will he charged
.villi manufacturing liquor. _
LIFE A LONELY ONE
Lighthouse Keepers Have Only
Sea for Company.
One Lived for Four Mentha In Light
house Far Out at Sea With Corpae
of Mate aa Only Com
panion.
Washington.—The monotony of the
life of a Itglukeeper 1* maddening
Much might be written on the tragedy j
of the service, but the department of
lighthouses has forbidden lta em
ployees to speak of what goes on In the ]
Military beacon houses along our
cimst. It does not tend to popular-lie 1
the service, and so order* have been
given that no Information of any kind''
may be given out by the UghLhous#
officials.
Occasionally, as when a lightship la
bro'ien from it* moorings and driven to
sea In a frightful storm, the public he
comes dimly aware of the danger in
curred dally and nightly by the keepers
of the lights along the shores. Asked
once how they passed the time in their
lonely lighthouse, several mile* from
shore one of the llgbtkeeper* an
swered : "We read and we flsh."
Fishing is not an attractive form of
recreation In bitter cold weather, so
the possible amusement* are reduced
from two to one. and the most omnivor
ous render must tire of reading some
times. There then remains the depress
ing survey of a seascape that is tha
same yesterday, today, and forever.
Nothing quite *o appalling is to be
fonnd In the lighthouse annals as the
story of the llghtkeeper who lived for
four months In the dreadful loneliness
of a lighthouse far out to sea, with the
corpse of his mate as his only com
panion.
The lighthouse keeper's companloa
died and there was no way of getting
the body of the dead mau ashore. Ter
rible and prolonged storm* made it Im
possible for the keeper to launch a
boat, even had he been able to leava
his light. Those ashore who would
have relieved him In due time wera
unable to get to hlrn for the sama
reason.
When at last the weather permitted
the rescuing party to reach the light
house they fmind the corpse of the as
sistant ro the lighthouse keeper lashed
to the rail of the gallery. The man had
h«i-n dead for months and the aotttary
survivor had been forced t« live In the
lonely beacon house wirh ih<> body of
his mate gradually crumbling before
hi* eyes and bis own superstition*
fears driving him to dit'ractloo.
FACTS ABOIT CANADA

$1,455,244,000.
The smaller total value of field
crops in Canada last year as com
, pared with the totals for the two
preceeding years was largely due to
lower prices. Tor Instance, in 1919
: the average price of wheat was
$2.37: in 1920, $162; and in 1921,
S6 cents.
The field crop of greatest value

tons of butter, of which a little more
j than half came from foreign coun
I tries. The Importations from the
British Dominions amounted to 65,
I SS6 tons, of which only 995 tons
came from Canada.
The cheese imported into Great
