In a Gleichen hotel months afterwordb he heard a man inquire who he (pointing at Mr, Nolan) was. “Oh that’s Nolan, the Calgary lawyer,’*, ho was told. “Is that the Nolan who ran for the assembly ?” he asked, and he was informed that he was the same person. Then Mr. Nolan heard the further observation: “I voted for that fellow.” Mr. Nolan then sought an acquaintance with the Qletclien man and his first question was: “I heard you say you voted for me. How did that* happen?’* “Well,” came back the reply, “f eaw the other two candidates. but if I had seon you d dif I’d haye voted at all.”o—o—o—oThese Maritime province men know how to keep to the front. We can’t say just how many members of the new Pensions Tribunals are from the provinces washed by'the sea. but the B. C. and Alberta members first saw the light of day .away down East. Col. Cy. Peck, now a member of the B, C. Legislature, ancl who distinguished himself sufficiently in tho great war to be awarded the Victoria Cross, comes from the same part of New Brunswick as Prime Minister Bennett and his colleague. Ewan Mac-Konzlc, of Lethbridge, is a P. E. Islander. The Maritime* have contributed a host of men to tho upbuilding of tho Weot. Wo havo mentioned Mr. Bennett, and then there is President Murray, of tho University of Saskatchewan; Attorney-General McPherson, of Saskatchewan; Hon. Vernor Smith, of Alberta; Justices Tweedle.

These sceptics probably smiled in a superior eort of way and remarked to themselves that it was just another yarn from British Columbia, the homo of Ogopogo. The New Westminster story, you may remember, told of Cariboo sockeye salmon travelling overland between nearby creeks in order to give rivals a sock In the eye and so live up to their name. It all Bounded rather..strange.But old friends of the salmon are moro than ready to believe the tale. Thoy know the ability of this fine fish to climb up waterfalls, and they see no reason why those of the tribe who feel so inclined should not flap Ihcir way across a short stretch of grass, lying wet under a summer moon.These believers are able to huotttho official records of the federal department of fisheries as lending sup* port to- (heir elalru, Many naturalists have held that fish cannot climb over fifty feet by means of a natural fishway. Vet, on the beautiful Jersey river, rising in Lake Ttosigno! in Nova.Scotin, and which flows into tho sea at Liverpool harbor, 75 milea southwest of Halifax, there is a fishway of greater height than this. Whan Industrial works were constructed on tho rlvor, 1he department of fisherieseon*tmoled a fishway 59 feet high, without elevators. Tho official report is that the fish made the climb up* river last, season without difficulty. Observations by officials of tho department lead them to the belief that the fish could climb much higher if necessary.SELLS WETHERS(From Our Own Correspondent)KIPPENVILLE, Oct. 17. — L. C.
