The Socialists havo brought out
William H, Davidson of Sandon as.
a candidate to contest Kootenay
district at tho next Dominion elec*
tion. Mr. Davidson is a miner and
was elected to the legislative as*
sembly as a labor candidate in
1003, and served the McBride gov.
eminent faithfully and well for
throe sessions, and at the last election was defeated by, William
Hunter, the McBride government
candidate who ran as a Conservative, There are enough Socialist
and Labor votes in Kootenay to
win a three cornered contest. Tbe
Liberal candidate is to be "Big
Bill" Galllher of Kelson, who is
not over popular in the district,
not because he is lacking in natural ability, but because he has
woefully neglected his duties for
two terms. The Conservative candidate will be some nonentity like
"Windy Willie" Macdonald, a Nol-
son lawyer. As against such opponents Davidson who is a fairly
good speaker and looks like a
man, has a fighting chance.—Prine

sixty feet' in height, while on the western' side' it rises to a height of 19S' feet

"ONE TOUCH OF NATTJEE MAKES THE WHOLE WORLD KIN"
When a rooster finds a big fat
worm he calls ail the hens in the
farm yard to come and share it.
A similar trait of human nature is
to be observed when a man discovers ' something exceptionally
good—he wants all his friends and
neighbors to share the benefits of
his discovery. This is the touch I ♦
of nature that makes the, whole
world kin. This explains why people who have'been cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy'write letters to the,manufacturers for publication, that others similarly ailing may also use it and obtain
relief.. Behind.every one of these
letters is a warm hearted,wish . of
the writer, to be of use to someone
else. This remedy is for sale by

Milwaukee this is most pronounced.

population to open up, the coun*
try, but, it must be an agricultural
population, and not an industrial
one. There ■ were only a very few
great cities where industrial trades
wero carried on, so that there was
really no "demand for artisans. As
proof ot this the lecturer mentioned that last October in Toronto
563 unemployed signed on the register at the Unemployed Temple in
two and (V half hours. They included carpenters', painters, engineers,
fitters, and several other trades,
The lecturer explained that unauthorised emigration agents were
responsible for all this mischief,
and he complained especially of

of these water closets, more especially the|eoal-, company's and the

which have not been cleaned out
for "the last six "months..and are a
disgrace to humanity." Also that
all * around-^the- town^-'-of- Michel
there are cesspools from which the
refuge water from, the, houses,'-, etc.,'
runs, .ad has been doing'so' for "a
period of about flve,or six^ yearB,'
arid the consequence is that"; what

waiting; for ..the*, sun to-idry,, it up.
Also X might .state that what garbage is being cleared up by the
one man employed so to do 1b
either being, dumped into the mid*

might state that' there are a good
many more things that our health
officers need, to look after.' Now,
Mr. Editor, this might not suit
some people,'but let me Bay this
much, it is no use hollering about

maybe when we have a smallpox

Washington, April 16— Pointing out
what he declared,to be the precarious
condition of the national deleiiBe of the
United States, both in thi> Atlantic aim
the Pacific oceans, Mr Hobson of AU
l>ania. in the house of representatives
to-dav made an earnest plea lor two
batlleshipsof 25,000 tons.displaceniviit
in addition to the two authorised by the
naval appropriation bill
Heeaid that a conservative estimate
would indicate that for the minimum
basis of security and safety in the Pacific ocean the United States should lay
down at least four bijr ship/a year for.
many-yearn to come, "uuiil Japan concedes to us what is inevitable—the
A*i erican control, of the Bea around
which our possessions are scattered."
Ab a minimum for the .Atlantic octan
the government should lay' down six
battle snipe a year, he said. ,
The possibility or a conflict with Japan
was discussed at length by Mr Hobeon
He said it whs but perfectly natural for
Japan to aspire to dominate the commerce of China, the commerce of Asia
and of the Pacific ^ocean And, he
added; it was perfectly natural for
Japan to seek to control the policies of
China and-to attain supremacy in the
Pacific ocean, and to lead the yellow
race.toward a recognized supremacy in
the world.,
With regard to the great nations of
the white race, Mri Hobson said: "Jt is,
of course, clear to the Japanese stales-
men that America is the one great nation
kandiug.athwart of the realization of
these ambitions. It is true that America
onlv asks a fair chance and no.favors-
siiuplv the open-door policy in China—
but this policy'goes couuter to Japanese
ambitions." , .
..Mr.'Hobeon charged,that Japanese
spies, lmve beei. diligent and. active
throughout the Philippines, in our out-
.vine possession, throughout all parts
of America, in our forts, arsenals, ihip-
vards, and particularly.up and dm.'.,
the coast,along-the Pacific, in notiiiff

At no timo" perhaps has the subject of
mine accidents attracted more attention
and at tip period has tho subject been,
discussed and written-up, as it.is today.,
■ So much loss of life is incurred thereby,
the.sufferin*? cannot be measured,»and
the desolation and want that' follow in
the train of accidents that claim or cripple the bread-winner is so great as to
call forth much sympathy.-
The principal causes of fatal accidents
for .1906, with the percentages of the
total ascribed to each, is as follows:
■ ' .-■ - r - -. ;*; Per cent.
Fall of roof and coal.... .* 47 -
Mine cars.:.. ...15 -
■ „ Explosion of gas \.... 9
Explosion of powder, etc:.... 6
Premature blasts 12
.-•' ' - '89'
Leaving but' 11. per cent, to all other
causes,combined.,. ,,,.-, ... -'..,-,
', Taking out of this 15 per cent, due to
minecarB;We have left" 74 per cent, as
the percentage of the whole that take
place inthe working places, and generally between the powder box and the
"face." I'. \\ -■ - ; --
' . ' .' ;J <r ■•
We have now located thejnostdanster^
ous points in-a coal mine^that is, the
points at which 74'per cent, of the fatal-
_itiesV6f;l9j)(3£occGrrexi,£and;it:i8.at.these
points therefore the vigilance*is ;ti be
increased if.better results are to be obtained.,'-- -v:i'>::Vj--- v-r ,-jr^-J ' -•-■>-./,,_
In view of these"* facts,-I am inclined
to tfieubeli'ef that^We^dlvidiDgjoithe
workings of the mines into groups of 20
places, putting a qualified person in
. c-^rs-fduring-blutibg hours to see that
the sounding of roof after blasts, thei
proper heeding of Indicationsof danger
by propping; or pulling down*, the proper
tamping of holes, and the careful hand;
llnj*\of.powder,? etc , are "attended to iii:
his district, With a report of the conditions of the working-places to the fore-,
man ac the end 'of, every shift, would
have the effect of reducing the 74 per,
cunt..we are alluding to,' ,.
With this duplication'of the supervision in sections, we would also appreciate the fact that a very large portion
of the:employees in and around the
mines are not versed in thoir duties ah
they are set forth in, tho mine law nnd
other rules, In nn endeavor to over*'
como this the Department of Mines distributed copies of tho law printed in
the sovoral languages of tho workmen.
This does not appear to have brought
nny improvement, probably on account
of'thedifliculty the workmen experience
in getting at.the portions that apply to
thoir particular calling. To help thorn
ovor this difficulty I sutrgost that tho
law and other rules bo,mado clear to

bit So thinks' Miss' Bertha Buffln,
who is-responsible for an interesting
experiment which Js going on with the
lunch counter problem, in the Women's- college, of Brown' university.
She is trying to give the'girls" good,
'wholesome fare, not baker's cake, baker's pie, that machine made pie turned out by the thousands,'or other indigestible dainties/ for'"girls will eat
such strange things. „ She says; "They
will find that rice pudding is; not so
bad to .take, for that concoction heed
not be the watery, .uncooked mess of
tbe old .time boarding school, but a
truly palatable dish." Mlss"Buffln, '05,
and Miss,Eaton, her colleague, an undergraduate, say they aren't sure how
the experiment was-started, but it is
going along swimmingly. "The menu
of the old lunch - counter\ consisted,"
says Miss Buffln, "of soup, which waa
thin and watery and I not very warm,
pastry and pink, brown and white ice
. cream. \ The fickle, whimsical appetite
of girls who spend most of their time
indoors is not easy to please. ■ -Their,
tastes seem-to run to spiced meats and
chopped meats' rather than to plain,
good solid roast-beef or mutton.' Rather than milk they drink coffee. In
spite of these difficulties, however, the
two new managers have succeeded in
materially changing the old menu and
making it attractive.- What is served
Is possibly plainer, but it is more substantial and certainly more digestible.",

'» Great reduction in wages, the laying-

during., the past week, according to*
Dun's Review.' ■„' '•;.'./■
'WRjre^ reduction still 'spreads ih the
cotton mills of New England., The New
.Bedford mills have, cut wages 10 per
cent., affecting- o* er 22,000 operatives
it Is stated hy a representative of the
print cloth trade that it is now certain
that the reduction will reach every cotton mill iii Sew England.'
Tho Journal of Commerce states that
in such trades ac the cotton and woollen
industries the reduction of wages has
been made without involving the companies in a strike because trade union-
. ism Is weak in these industries, hut
that among the workers where trade
unionism is strong, the employees have
-• been able to maintain their wages -
Western railroad managers have had
several conferences recently over the
".'wage question. The managers hesitate
to reduce the. wages of the union men
and have so far gotten' around the difficulties by reducing the number of men
instead of cutting wages.- :
Reports from Pittsburg state that the
Erie railroad shops were closed this
■week iri all departments except the"
roundhouse. About 800 men were affected., At both "of the plants of, the
Stanley Eiectric company, employing
19,000 men, and the^Eaton Crane Pike
Paper company, the men have been put
, on short time. ■' ... ' ., ,

the blood is impure and watery.
That is what causes pimples and
unsightly eruptions, in some: othe.i

One of the worst snow slides- in
the history of'the C.P.R. occurred
early Monday morning, near AKb-ert
Canyon, „ in the Cascades range,
sweeping away two boarding cars
filled with Japanese laborers and
carrylng^.them down"the mountain
side.
The roar of the thousands of
tons 'of'snow,' ice^and rock,carrying before it dehris of every kind,
and snapping tremendous trees* as
it would a match, could be heard
for miles, and it fairly made the
ground tremble.
Tho point where the slide occurr*
ed is, one of tbe most unlikely soots
in that section of country, but for
the last two days there has been a
heavy rain fall and with the heavy
snow" fall ot the past winter, the
effect was the worst that the railroad' men have yet experienced.
Tho 0. P. R. has been doing a
lot of work on the road bed in
this neighborhood and had a large
crew of Japanese workmon employed there for that purpose.
. As'is customary they lived in
boarding cars which wore placed
on a temporary siding, and when
the tremendous slide struck them
they were swept away as chaff bo-
fore, a cale. u
The number that perished is not
known, as all the telegraph wires
were carried down with the slide,
but it is believed tUat forty Japs
were in tbe ears at the, time, and
only Ave bodiei. have been recover,
ed. '
The C.P.R. have alwayp taken
the greatest precaution atgainst
sueh an accident as this occurring
always holding the working crews
in safe places, but nature intervened in this instance and owlnt
.... '- ■ ijj
",' N.rVjW. J. Purnell has tlately arrived
here from. Bankhead with a large gang
o.f.nien tojnstall tui.eleetric plant .which
lie eipects to have rightly set up by
■June isti-i Perhaps above all other stirring events that nre daily taking place
in Hosmer,' this is the one that is creating the greatest interest. We are as*|....-- - —•
sured of the fact that both tlie east nnd the Buker Lumber Co.„purchas
th'eswest sides of the raidroad will have of ^ VV. Hart th'is.week.
the pleasure of having their stores and
dwelling houses beautifully illuminated
by.electric. light,. „
'., Mr. A. I\ Kline, of Si. Louis, Mo.,
Miss Schilling, of,* Bruno? Hall, Spokane, and Mr. Frank Nash, employee of
based tracts
,;! Strangersi from all quarters drop off
at Hosmer, only to be convinced thnt it
is "Ihe only town." What will it be if
one year has made it what il is?
; Mr; VV. P. Tierney, C. P. R. contractor, who hiis been operating here
nil winter with fiom one hundred nnd
seventy-five lo two hundred nnd fifty
men; has lately removed the greater
part of his force to Greenwood, where
ho expects to hnvo nt least n year's
work to complete.
Every train that passeB through
Hosmer hns its' own lalo to tell ns to
how the place lu being .iitilt up. The
unloading of machinery which is taking
nlncc overy hour of the day. benrs wllh
it the fact thnt there ih something sub*
Btnntlnl behind nil tho mechanism thnt
Is being carried on. Hundreds of car
loads of rock testify to the fact thnt the
coke ovens will soon he under construe*
tion and all goes lo prove that this Is
tho coming town.
A fatal accident occurred at th'o
Buker Mill on Monday, when a millwright, Mr. Cody, attempted lo-re'pluco
a' belt while the mill was still running.
In doing this he used a piece of inch
pipe. Tho wheel caught the end of the
pipe and forced it through his body.
Ho showed unusual uiurago by extricating the pipe with his own hands,
hut all to no avail, and on Wednesday
the poor sufferer pussed nwnv leaving a
wife and child to mourn his loss.
