On the morning of Coronation Day, Mr. Perry and his party were proceeding up the Naas to visit the Ayansh reserve. Rumors had been current of trouble between the Indians and the white men, and the Indian Agent was investigating the matter—happily with the result that he found there was little ground for the exaggerated stories that had been circulated. As the steamer steamed up the Naas, the Indians at Ayansh, hailed the flag she carried in honor of the King’s Coronation, and came in a body to the wharf. ‘‘Tell all the white men, the King's people to gome with us to a white man’s feast in the Feast Hall,” said Chief Skadeen to the party. ‘We have killed a cow and a calf, and are having a feast for the white men, in honor of the King.’ To the Feast Hall, Perry’s party went, and there at the head of the table, the Indian Agent presided over a goodly gathering. From all the railway and survey camps—the ‘highways and the by- ways”of the Naas—th ewhite men gathered in response to the chief's invitation. The Ayansh band in uniform played patriotic airs. They had previously rendered a Coronation hymn in the village church, music for which was specially composed by their own missionary, Rev. Mr. McCullagh. To the assembled company Chief Skadeen told of their loyalty to the King, of their friendship for the ‘King's people,” as the whites are called in the vernacular, and of their respect for the law and order that the King’s people had instituted. Very significantly, the Chief referred to the cause of the rumors of trouble, the Indian’s reluctance to serve the white men, until their claims in the land title dispute are ‘referred to the law they have been taught to reverence. “If. the law says the land is for the Indian, it is well. If the law says the land is for the white men, it is well. We will be satisfied when we know,” said the Chief. The little incident of the spontaneous act of loyalty in preparing a “white man’s feast’’ for the white men on Coronation Day ought not to go unrecorded. There is real logic in the plea of the chief of the Ayansh, that if the Indians are to venerate and observe the law of Canada, then the Province of British Columbia in its dealings with the Indians should be prepared to submit itself to the courts of justice. “If the law says that the land is for the Indian, it is well. If the law says the land is for the white men, it is well. We will be sat- isfied when we know,” is an attitude of mind that would very well become the administrators of law and order in this Province. DaILyY EDITION. FRIDAY, JULY 14 NEW ZEALAND'S RAILWAY RECORD Notwithstanding the pe 5 of hard times that has visited New Zealand during the past two years, the government-owned railways of New Zealand have shown a steady and gratifying growth. The net profits for the year 1910 were $5,401,580. : It should be remembered that the settled policy of the New Zealand government is to operate the railways for the benefit of all the people and not for profits. As rapidly as the receipts warrant, freight and passenger rates are reduced, while special provisions have been made by which the railways are utilized in the government's effort to assist the people to become home-makers, without them being denied the chance of having their children properly educated, and without interfering with the regular city employment of the heads of families. To foster this work, a nominal fare is charged the workers and the school children during certain hours morning and evening, by which, at a cost not exceeding that paid by patrons of the street rail- way service, the artizans in the country are able to continue work and their children can enjoy city schools while making their homes in the country.

A romance which had its coni- mencement on the other side of the Atlantic many years since, had a happy culmination in Belleville. Some thirty-five years ago a couple were married in Scotland, |™ the man’s name being Rice, and the woman, after several years of wedded unhappiness secured ¢ divorce about twenty years ago, and the custody of her two sons, one of whom is captain of an Atalntic steamer and the other mate on a liner. The woman remained at home and the man went to the Western States. A few months ago the woman came over to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, to visit relatives and there was given information as to her former husband. The result was’ that they entered into correspondence, the old-time love was revived, and they decided to meet in Belleville, about midway between their res- pective homes, and renew the troth which was plighted in their youthful days. The license was thereupon issued and the couple were duly re- united in the holy bonds of matri- mony by Rev. Dr. Bishop.
