A grand pantomime, entitled, -|‘‘Beauty and the Beast,’’ staged by the Usk achool children in the Bethurem hali on Saturday, Dee. 30, was the event of the season. In costume display and scenery effects, the play was true to the author's ideals, while the acting of the characters, superlative as it was, reflected much credit to themselves and to Mrs. Joseph Bell, who directed. Ada Mins- gohrand Violet Whitlow showed aplendid talent, Marie Eckert was brilliant as Silverstar, and Thelma Bunn in the heavy role of the merchant with the three daughters was very good, while the Fairies were radiant in their costumes. The inception of the concert by Miss Whitlow, assist- ed by Mrs, E. Whitlow, and the xurgzeous costuming by Mrs. Bell were features not to be over- looked. The hearty applause from an overflowing hall showed a sin- cere appreciation of the 14 acts. The characters: . Zimri, the Merchant Thelma Bunn Azor, the Beast , Ada Minsgohr Auna, Lolo, Beauty—the Merehant's thice daughters—Ada Minsgohr, Doris Bunn, Violet Whitlow Silverstar, a Fairy Marie Eckert Attendant Fairies — Bessie O’Brien, Hatty and Josephine Eckert, Montana McClarty, Grace Minsgohr and Dorothy ; Whitlow.

He was surprised at the small amount of prospecting that bad been done there. Now thal the Tachi River is navigable he considers the country reason- ably accessible to prospectors. | There appears to be a large coal field there; great stretches of agricultural and pastoral land; blocks of fine timber and miner- als. The favorable nature of the country for roads and rail- ways mark it, in his opinion, as one of.the most important sec- tions of the province. If the P.G.E. Railway is to be nitimately used as a colonization road and extended, he considers the Vanderhoof-Stuart Lake route superior to any other in that country.—The Province. , tae i oo tan tnt ere erm ak ea te q LP rans Oh Be le l Change of Management The G.
