Plans are afoot to open up the Baffin . and the recent Scott expedition at the bay region to commerce. For' many years small steamers have been mak- ing summer visits to Hudson bay to trade with the natives, and the Cana‘ dian government {is building a railway to one of its ports. Railroad and com- mercial development of Alaska by American enterprise has caused pros- pecting of the mineral resources of the coasts of Baffin bay and Davis strait, with the result of finding, at the former place, gold in sufficient. quanti- ties to Justify development, and coal of excellent "quality along the latter. The latitude Is about the same as that of the Yukon region and only a few degrees north of that of Nome, which has developed into a large community. So impelling 18 the lure of gold that the hardships of an arctic climate will not deter adventurers from hazarding their lives against the wealth said to be buried under the eternal snow and ice of Baflin island. Remarkable Crab. A peculiar crab has been captured in ! power and prevent its abuse. the Indian ocean. It Is nearly two feet in diameter and its longest claws are about a yard. It has projecting eyes like those of a lobster and is very voraclous. It was put in a tank of sea water and when darkness came it proved phosphorescent, emitting pe- culiar. white rays. ———— Subscribe for The Pioneer. ———————————————————————————————— T T T O LT T LT LU Hunnnnnn e T G L UL Quality Coffee, 5 lbs. for - $2.10 d service always our aim GREAT EXPONENT OF LIBERTY Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicpster, b g Known as “Father of Englis! House of Commons.” The first great democrat in England was Simon de Montfort, earl of Leices- ter, who was slain in battle 654 years ago as the leader of the rebellious barons. Simon de Montfort was also the spokesman for the great masses of the people. and he held that it was the duty of the nobles to stand between the people and the monarch as guardians of their liberties, to watch over the exercise of the royal In the great battle of Lewes in 1264 the bar- ons, under the command of de Mont- fort, completely defeated the king and the royalist party. In the battle of Evesham on August 4 of the following year the tables were turned und the democratic earl was killed and the barons sustained a ruinous defeat. During the brief period of Simon's as- cendency, however, he had laid the foundation for the house of commons . and had inspired In the breasts of the people a devotion to liberty and dem- ocracy never to be stamped out by royal oppression. “Every king is ruled by the laws,” declared Simon de Mont- fort, and he held that the “generality” should have a hand in the making of the laws by which they, as well as the monarch, were to be governed. Simon de Montfort’s immortal place in history Is indicated by the rever- ent title historians have .given him— “the Father of the English House ot Commons.” Coal's Uncertain History. The story of coal is a very uncer- tain one. No one seems to know when it first began to be used for fuel. All through the centuries it pops in and out of English literature as something taken for granted, and when it was finally found well in the van of the great industrial expansion of a cen- tury or more ago it occasioned no special comment. ——— Subscribe tor The Pioneer. ; e = "'||I|||IIIIIIIIIII|l||IIIII|IIIIIIII|I||Il|IIIIIIIlIIIlI|||||||IIIIIll||||IIIIIlIlIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIlIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|IIIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIlIIIIlIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIlllIIlllllIIIlll|||IlllllI|lIIIII||VIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIllllIlIII||IlI||II|||I|I|ll|I|||I|I||I||I|II|I||I|||I|||IIE We Lead- Others Follow, but our prices are always lower than the Lowest.

To disagree with the other fellow and stlll remain friendly; to see the other fellow’s viewpoint and still cling to your own opinion with a smile that is sincere; to travel the first 50 miles in company with a crowd quietly and not tell all you know: to smile at the breakfast table and then go to work, not willingly but anxiously, proves that you are a bigger man than the oral- nary fellow we find on the pay roll— t Exchange.
