' Every business place from the .lar^-, est store to the smallest candy shop had ou its Sunday clothes and they hiid all been'freehly starched and Ironed. ~ - Nearly a thousand people were transported by rail from the outlying towns and camps.

McEvoy had his Ea»t Kootenay Rifles, fifty s'x stroiifr formed and placed in the procession with ihe Forme band in tha lead, the show begran and it was cer tainly the finest show we had ever seen in EaHt Kootenay." The procession was fully half a niile long aud was mado up of as fine a lot of floats and displays as one could wish to see' Tbe lumbermen, the merchants and the miners were all well renrosented The lumbermen made a fine 'display with the bijr teams and their different displays vepreeontiiig- thcir.industry.

The East Kootenay' Rifles were no mean part of the. parade and many cheers ^were accorded thorn 'as tliny inarched along.

PEACE The news that ihe peace envoys at PorKiiiouili had arrived at an agreement as to the h-sis of u permanent treaty ot peace was welcomed all over the world with unmistakable demonstn.- lioasof gratification andjo'y. The i-onte.it. of these Tiluii reprcse'ntaiives of the two i-ixiti'iiding power*, had been watched with nn intensity of interest equal to that which centered in the sanguinary conii'sts between armies and navies. Thai Japan after luiving won' every contest upon land and having destroyed almost everv vestige of a Russian navy tiiouUI lonsent to withdraw her demand for indemniiy and to limit her deinand-.; :is to territory to that ailually occupied at the lime of the adoption of the agreement, in order to meet the desires ol the civilized world for peace, marks the beginning of a new era in the conduct of war. The brutal practice ol t'te victor in war demanding and obtaining 'great sums of Mood money under the guise of indemnity, lias received a check which it is to lie hoped will take from tlie chances of war iu the, future the one of money-making at tlie expense of the weaker party. That Germany demanded and received from France, millions of dollars at ..the end - of the France-German war and thai ' other nations have done the same ii: (be.past, does not make the practice, right: Ft- wa"sTihe^iriumph~ofTuigiir which if continued could only lead-to untokljibuse of power in the hands of grasping nations. , -,-. " At tlie close ofthe ^panish-Americiin . war the United States'demanded, no indemnity, but paid to Spain millions of dollars for what had already been taken by force of arms. , It is idle to talk of thc diplomatic victory of Russia in the contest at , Portsmouth. Her representatives gave up every point for which they had contended upon sea and land. The .Muscovite had violated all pledges as to the occupation of 'Manchuria and had looked upon the "little brown man" as a mere plaything to be disregarded aud brushed aside as a troublesome ,.ly. livery claim set up by the Japanese at-, thaoutbrcak. of hostilities has been conceded and in addition lliey hold half of the Island of Sahklin. That they have refrained from the lhe temptation of exacting large sums of money as payment of costs of the war, when they had a triumphant army .. under the leadership of such a man as Oyuma, ready to deal another staggering blow to their demoralized antag- ouists, is lhe wonder ofthe world today. It Is extremely doubtful if any ISuropuan power under thc same conditions could have shown •.itch a spirit of mug- iiiimlnlty as have these people who seventyfivo years ago were looked upon b> all the world as benighted heathens. The victory is Japan's at Ports-month as surely au it win. on the liold of .buttle.

There can be no denying the fact that the locators of lands in that district have been treated shamefully It is now the duty "of the government to repair to somo extent the injury and hardship which these men have been com pel led to suffer. The letter to the chief commissioner follows* ' ' ltossland, B. C. Aug. 17th, 1905 To the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works, Victoria, Sir: We, th-; undersigned prospectors and locators of coal and oil claims in Southeast Kootenay in that portion thereof known as block 469.1. hereby de- oiand that licences to prospect for oil or coal on the lauds rcspcc.ively located by iih lie issued to ub for tho ensuing year in the ordinary form and not iu the form in which certain documents purporting to the licences but which fi-ora the decUion of Mr. Justicp Martin it would seem wero hot really license at all, were Issued from your department." And whereas it appears that tho issuance of lhe so called licenses was ultra vires, we therefore claim thac you hold as trustee for us,the sum or sums which we have respectively paid to you to cover the fee neccessary to procure a license to prospect for coal and oil on the said lands for the, last twelve months. And whereas the claims, in re- |iect whereof we demand licenses, wern staked by us under the act in force at the time we made our respective locations, the fee payable undir the said act. being fifty dollars. And whereas the amendments to the said act making the fee for the prospector license for coal and oil $100 in lieu of §r>0 Vas not made retrospective neither has the same been made retrospective since the pas sing thereof. We, the understand, therefore demand, in addition to licenses for, the ensuing twelve months, that you return to us tho sum of $50 per claim paid to you by us in excess of, thc fee v.»u wfire legally able to chariie, or in the alternative, an undertaking from you to apply theaaid'sum of fifty dollar,* _n-f-»f!_C*.H*'»n in_ntt»-ic-*»i/.♦*.*■.** .«f'*-*—.-^_i.„ r -*'—'■•-•-* — •(!- uAviQi(«v/UilJ'li~Oi~t'Ct;0 ~ lot mrther renewals of the licenses hereby applied for.

Miner lully illustrates lho extent to which a bungling, incompetent government can by its blundering efforts to collect re- venue retard the material progress of the richest province in the Dominion. Instead of spending money to construct roads into tho Flathead country iii order to facilitate the development of that purt ol Ihe province, this brilliant collection of rocking' horse statesman have busied themselves in an endeavor to rob people of their money giving lhem worthless pieces of paper there tor, purporting to be licenses to pros- peel for coal and oil but which under the ruling of the court ure only cvid- vnces of the incapacity of our provincial government to transact the ordinary every day business of the country, THE FERNIE LEDGER, FERNIE, B.

Sept.. 5tii. After seven consaculive' weeks" consideration in its various .'phases by llie court's of , this province, . the -truly remarkable . case of George t>* Collins seems no nourer even tiie beginning of the end ! than on thnt day. early in July when , thi* San , Francisco attorney who . is defendant in the sensational proceedings fled ' to77 Victoria as a' haven of refuge from a bigamy prosecution; only to be detained in die grasp ofthe law, r upon*an extradition'warrant alleging -perjury. -Nor; truth to'iell, although the papers '-have contained (.heir daily columns of; and concerning lhe case, ; is.there any more intelligible general conception ' of. what it is ,all „ about. Collins is 9 clever, bright, somewhat spectacular and picturesque personality; and because of his onitorical ability, . his ready *wit, and/his affability;'' arid bonhomme, the great majority of Victorians, without more than a guess at the substantial fads of the case, are good-naturedly very willing to "hope that he will get off". As a simple-matter of verily, -there have been few ...ore remarkable cases in the history of American jurisprudence than this, the one and present scene of which is laid in the British Columbia court. If the title'ot California courts and officers be true, ,few more brilliant, more resourceful or more daring ciiminals than George D. Collins have operated on the Pacifie •slope. If on the other hand Collins is to be .believed, he is the victim, of' the most collosal, tlte most unique, and the ,, most elaborately perfected and comprehensive conspiracy that, has ever yet been formed,to enmesh and destroy an individual. . Briefly: According to1 thc 7evidence of. the State of California, Collins has for years employed all. his talents to finding flaws and technical!-; ties whereby convicted criminals may be preserved from-tlw'legal punishment . of their offences. As to his own" pise, '„ he is stsited io nave married one Char- lotta Newman and also to have been ■"■ unduly intimate with his wife's sister, .Agnes, snd upon-the-death of'Agile's ., from diphtheria, Collins is said to have < ' laid .the foundation for a denial of his \marrisige with Charlotta by interment ' -of Agnes as his wife, and shortly there- * rafter began . courting one Clarice '. JJlcCurdyi a young Cliicagoan of-con- - jiderabie property.. They were.in lime .' married, and upon this marriage (Charlotta being still alive and with her ^Wro^h"1le15^)^fie*Bigamy proceed^ ', tags arc based.. .Since bigamy: is not &n extraditable crime, the California I authorities seek to regain possession of ^CoUiris upon proceedings for perjury, . lie having in applying'-tbr his Inst mar' -triage license made affidavit as required 7 by tlieCaliforiiia practise of his eligibility to cont.ra4.-t al marriage. On. the '.' inther hand, Collins avws that he is the victim of,a. most comprehensive conspiracy. The plot, he declares, was worked up by. theHibernia Bank of, San Francisco, out of revenge because lie would not quash proceedings begun hy n client against tlie bank through which it stands to lose large sums of money. This conspiracy, he says further, is joined in by the press, the entire bur awociutinn, ths judges, and the -grand jury of San Francisco—the 1 judges out ol hatred because of his having secured reversals of their decinions,' the others because he has employed his talents as nn attorney to legally protect the criminal element. As for his own ense, he alleges that he never was married to Charlotta; that ho whs married to Agnes, first by contract and later, at her request, in tbe church, nl the date given by the prosecution ns that of his wedding with Charlotta ; he declares thai ho applied for tlio license with the nn me in blnnkj and thnt some one else 'tilled In "Charlotta" for "Agnci"; he assort*! thnt the priest wus wrong ns lo the bride's mime, so was the recorder of marriages, so were the witnesses, nnd the doctors who lmve sworn to his children being the children of Charlotta and iiNsUtrd by them Into this troublous world, "have eternally damned with perjury their Immortal soult.". Upon the first pro. ceedings in the British Columbia court, the common application for extradition before County judge Lamp-nun, that learned gentlemitn decided lhat Collins must go back. Il whs pointed out tho extradition Is hut the preliminary to a just trial—thnt It Is the duty to return the prisoner if a prima facie rase he made out, und that (since the trial is to follow) the itccused may uot hs In n trlnl by a British court, lay cliihn to the benefit of any possible cloud, It Is J Graham island has. long been known to contain excellent bituminous coal areas. Of 30,000 acres, of these lands a syndicate has for years been owners, and within recent mouths covetous eyes have been directed thereto by wealthy .Montrealers for whom W. F." Borland is acting as general agent.. Mr. Borland with a party of nine completed a three months inspection a little more than two weeks ago. He was evidently impressed with the value of, the property, for he forthwith approached iMajor John Nicholles, the head of the Victoria syndicate, proposing an out- and-out purchase at $700,600. This offer was laid before the others interest ed, Messrs. C. F. Todd, Wm. "Wilson, S. J. Pitts and .W*.A. Robertson, the latter being the original prospector, and has been accepted. Mr. Borland is now en route to Montreal to confer with his associates, and active exploitation is to begiii in the spring. ' As a preliminary a large sawmill'-is to be erected, and incidental to the development of the new collieries a forty mile long railway line must be built. For this, as well as for charting and mapping the coast, improving harbors, etc., aid will be sought from both, the federal and the provincial parliaments at their next sittings. . . ' It is doubtful indeed if history can provide a precedent for a minor happening in connection with the sitting of the Admiralty court at this city last Friday, when Hon. Justice Martin confirmed the seizure and ordered the forfeiture of the Seattle halibut-poaching schooner North. His Lordship on that occasion appe.ired wearing the %,'tg, and directed counsel and registrar to wear the horsehair also. As all British Columbia is aw.iie, there was an act passed during the Ia*.t session of the legislature, at the initiative of Stuart Henderson, M. P. P., abolishing the wig in British Columbia courts, wherein before, its wearing had'been at first compulsory and then optional. It is no secret that Hon. Justice Martin's extreme regard for the fashions aiid millinery of the court, carried in the opinion of many to ihe point of ludicrous buffoonery, was the excuse for enactment; and while.it was before. the House He strenously opposed ■ its passage, urging resistance also after it had become law but being overrqled by his bipther judges. In Admiralty, matters in this province, however, Hon. Justice Martin is a power unto himself... Hence the opportunity was taken to throw ■uo"w-iT"th¥gage~6f"Kittle to the "legislature; and most curiously the Attorney- General, whose duly it is to champion and defend provincial authority and law, was a" joint offender . with- His Lordship. Hon. Mr. Wilson has also cherished a lingering affection for lie wig and other emblems of the old court days, and required little convincing, although at.first he declared himself in mutiny. The statute, it may be pointed out, forbids explicity the wearing of the "customary official wig in any court in British Columbia," and hence, Hon. Justice Martin's contention that the Admiralty court is federal, and not a court of British Columbia, is held by lending lawyers to be unsound. But the point that is material is that, a statute being placed among tho laws of the province, a judge should be found in British Columbia to set an example of contempt for law, and an Attorney-General to join him in disobedience of the very laws he Is sworn to assert nnd maintain. It is in order for Justice Marl in,1 Hon. Mr. Wilson and- Registrar TyrwIiitl-Drnlto-to be proceeded against at nny time for an indictable offence shipped-to tbe Northwest Territories and. Manitoba will be ,200 carloads. - The largest and best tomato farm on the Pacific coast is that of Gelatly & Soils, In "the Okanajjan valley. They exported last year 14,000 crates of tomatoes.' Thomas JOarl, of Lytton, will have 40,000 pounds of grapes this year for export. In the Sirnilkameen I found all of the finest grades of European grapes growingto perfection? I never saw such' large clusters; they were a foot in length." These facts show the great superiorty of our soil and climate for fruit raising. Why, man alive, British Columbia cannot fail to becbrnr'one if the greatest fruit growing countries in the world owing to tho fact that it has such splendid soil and so superb a climate. "One of the principal objects of,'my visit to Rossland is to induce the merchants here to jnirchaee the fruit they sell from the fruit growers of the pro vince. I desire also to induce the- men who raise the frult.to cater more to thr home market, instead of exporting to the Northwest Territories. The result of this will be the keeping of the money .sent out for fruit at home- and the preventing of tbe introduction of pests in the homo orchards. Wo have no coiliri moth, no San Jose scale or other fruit pests to amount to anything here. The orchards nre clean, and the fruits are of a-superior quality and not speckled and bored by pests of all kinds as some of. the fruit that ia brought in here from the States is." '" ■> The above we clip.froni the Rossland Minor, and is a report of .Mr.' Cunningham, government fruit inspector, who was in Fernie a few days ago. While here he coiidurnued some fruit whicli h'ad been shipped in from Washington and made arrangements at Gateway to have the. fruit coming in at that point held for twenty four hours bc-foro being allowed to reach its destination. This may be alright but our, fruit "deal era and their customers dn not seem to be in love with the scheme.' We havo no fruit trees here and we cannot sen that a rigid enforcement of the regulations will benefit anybody but the Okanogan mnn who has fruit to sell. One of our fruit dealers reports that the inspector visited his place and proposed to condemn and destroy somo, fh*e looking peaches which he had on dis play In his window, but thc dealer objected to the method of inspection and the inspector left, the store without carrying out his intention of condemn ing the fruit. There is such a thing as overzealousness. . ',, - VSI?7.00:.;:v . VANCOUVER VICTORIA SEATTLE PORTLAND "-■ ' AND.
