Pro-grossivii Fciiiio The building season in this citv hiis . i - - been a good one and the cold' weather has found, most 6f tiie builders ready for the change. The Hondo son block was not quite ready .when the first snow came hut is now' tinder roof as is also tho Queen's hotel.' The latter, being built by Mr. .Robiclia'ud and the _ Ross Isros , is quite an addition to tho hotel property of the city. It is a lbreo"story brick l-iii'iding with basenieut under the initiru structure. Thero are 'IS roo'iis all told and they'aro well arranged for ihu purpose for which thoy aro intended.- A heatin-» plant will be installed" in thebasem-uit and tho whole buildm*- will be complete and re.vlv for occupation in January. The building has been erected under the supervision of Mr. Robert Kerr and reflects crodit upon builders and owners. ThoIlendorson,block has bcentdo- scribed before, and is quite an addition lo Victoria avenue. About §123,030'-worth of lire proof business buildings have been addod .to tho city's list of good buildings during the season just closed which is evidence of a substantial iiiture to ■ prove thai tho peoplo of our city have faith in its future. No city in tbo interior of- the province cau beat our record in this re spect and no other place can look so confidently to the years to come, Tho great cool, coko and lumber industries centering in andabout Fernie makes its futuro. progress a ceitainty, and upon these facta the business man bases his hopes !and then builfts his substantial building.' Wo believe that next year will witness the erection of many more good buildings. The many artificially decorated window's "to"be seen ou Victoria Avenue'aro not to bo surpassod in quantity, quality or amujjemout by windows iu cities nruch older and larger than Fernie. We had intended to devote an article tins week to a description'of these fine windows but wo, wero unexpectedly called away to Nelson on pressing- business and had to. forego "the pleasure, for it ie a pleasure, of laying bt-foro our readers, descriptions of the many things lhat await tlio best efforts of tho news, paper man. • -7; _, ■, ■ ■"■ •X.-.0 C'.-in5 On.-fjiit.

'At G/stit wits reported ilia't at'least twenty"1 people had'losl- theirlives and scores were.'badly injured. After.the panic had subsided to sonic extent it was found 'that only one man had been hilled und several had been injured by pieces of.flying glass. A ton or so of gelignite had exploded at the powder house instantly .•rilling' John S. Ingrain who had charge of the magazine and the cause ofthe explosion will never be definitely known. Great d.-iiiuigo' was done to nearby buildings and mosi-ofthe plate glass in the windows on Columbia Acv , was shattered to pieces hy the concussion. The tremendous shock followed by the clattering of glass so confused the people that for a few "moments no one could imagine what had happened. The large mines will have to stop op- orations for a few days until air and steam pipes whicli' were lorn awsiy nnd badly bent and lwi»tcd cau be replaced. The loss will- fooi up some $50,000, pietty well covered by insurance.

Brown, of the* Washington Nursery company at Toppenish, passed through Fernio yesterday on his way to Halifax, N. S., to eat his Christmas turkey at his old homp. Mr. Brown had with him a sample of a new variety ot applo originated by that wizard oi a conjurer with nature, Mr. Burbanlc ot California. The sample was so fine a speciman of apple culture as to attract the attention of1 a Ledger representative, and it was subjected to a most thorough test, which proved its destruction. It disappeared down the throat of the sampler, and he pronounced it of the very finest quality. It was a large, well formed apple with chocks of a color half way between thc coi'al of the pouting lips ' and - the pinkoy peach blossom cheek ot a Fernie maiden. Its flavor was as delicious as would bo a kiss from such lips. After getting outside of tho apple tho Ledger man felt better and in an inquisitive frame of mind. Mr. Brown, seeing tho good effect his applo had ' produced' submittted gracefully to tho tortures of the interviewer. lie stated that Mr. Burbnnk had named-the apple "Winter Banana" ns it is a'long keeper with flesh as finely flavored as that of the tropical fruit. ,The Washington Nursery company planted last year, four tons of, poach pits and. intend-planting ten tons next spring. They grew ready for. market last year- 3,000^000 fruit trees, rfnd will have 10,000,000 ready for next year's planting.' -The same ground is used for five years, during which time two crops* of trees are.

An Ottawa dispatch appearm**? in Btimo of our oxciifttigfes indicates a desire in some quarters to bead off an official investigation into tho insurance affairs of this country, It is said that thia talk about investigation is liubleito create a panic amongst policy holders and result in , many people forfeiting their policies. This is exactly tho kind of rot that was doled out to the public by the m- ■urance managers and trust manipulators in New York. They were very solicitoufl about poor people , losing their premiums already paid into the hands of these fellows who have proved beyond doubt the main spring of their solicitude. So Iar, however, the only panic to appear, is that among the officers and directors, who $eem very desirous just now of disappearing from public view. Policy-holders in the United .States are not dropping their policies, and this nonsense, emanating from Ottawa will hhi-dly allay suspicion, rather it' will tend tb increase buch a feeling if already existing. fc> An impartial, "thorough search into the affairs and methods of Canadian lite insurance companies'will hurt no hones'ly conducted business and will fix these companies upon a .oui.d:.- _tioii-of-Solid i-ock.-if_it7.can„bc_sliown_ gggaaBB?a!1fffrli*K^ Gifts for Girls tliat no trust tinkering nepotism has been "practiced iii the past: Policyholders w ill not bo scared by such action. ., * ' ; The trouble in Now York has boon that surpluses have been entirely roo large, and policy-holders will benefit by having these big surpluses distributed te thorn, a result ..which won't hart any one except tho fellows who were using them for their own benefit. n /i All the evils unearthed by. the Now York investigation are the results ol tco great a surplusage, not of too small a ono, Thou. W. Lawson was correct when he stated that - life insuranco costs 25 to 40 per cent too much, and the too much Is what hns made rascals of the onicialu und managers who had it to h'indlo. There is no justification for charging such prices as havo been charged and tho result is bound to be 11 reduction in rates, Mr. Lawson advises all to hold on to wh.-t insurance thoy have but states,,Unit rutca are sure to como down, nnd in the light uf what ho staled before the in- vcBtlgutlnn began it mubt be conceded that hu is pretty near correct. To Buy Large Tracts in Texas. St. Paul,. Minn.,"—It is reported here on the best of authority T that the Northwest Colonization Co., one of • j the, largest land companies • operating in Western Canada, have disposed of theirlioldings in that country and nest year will operate in Texas, where they have secured extensive tracts of land. R. A. Robertson, president of the company, has been in the south for some time, il lis understood, with u view of closing u deal for the southern land. The Northwestern Colonization Co., have bought and sold over one million ncres of land in Western Canada and rank,next to the Manitoba, and Saskatchewan Valley Land Co., as the largest land concern in the Dominion. F. H. Mitchell, manager of the Winnipeg offices of the Northwest Colonization Co., was seen by,a reporter for the Tribune this morning, but could not confirm-or deny the report. 'I have heard that Mr. Robertson was in the south with the object of acquiring land there,' he stated, 'but 1 cannot say anything further.' '1 have also heard that a deal was pending fur the disposal of the company's holdings in Western Canada, but whether or not this has gone through 1 am also in the dark.' All sales in connection with the Northwest Colonization Co., are put through at St. Paul, the Winnipeg ofiice merely being the headquarters at which collections are made.* Should the company open up another new field in Texas local real estate agents anticipate the withdrawal of ses'eral minor companies in Western Canada to follow lhe wake of the larger firm." > This is the company of which Mr. 0. A. Robertson,, F. G. Barrows, Mr. Lynch and other officials of the. Elk Lumber Company of this place are officials. Mr. Robertson, president of the two companies and Barrows are the _[iacliesJo_whom,MotLS[iii_&,_Co.,,_sold_ the timber and millsile now owned and operated by the Elk Lumber Company. The Northwest Colonization Co., are well equipped with capital and experience to make the Texas land business a success. - DRESSING SETS MANICURE SETS. FANCY WORK BOXES AND SEW- , ING SETS.

''The different-companies operating in this new oil field are doing well. Oper- -. ation^ comertced October 15; Since then 17 miles of wagon road have been completed, over which lhe boring machinery is being taken! The company has one Standard boring rig in the field ' ** '; "Buildings for the accommodation of men and for housing machinery are completed. A sawmill will be in oper- atioi.'ii. a few days sawing lumber for. the derricks, and for the building operation in the new town of! Akatiiina. This new town was brought-.inlo existence by the influx of people coming 1 into the field looking for business locations, , ,, . , Practical oil men, chiefly from Indiana arid Kansas are acquiring holdings with the intention of development them.. "The first drill to commence operations in this field, the opening of which was made a political matter and was the cause of throwing out of power the goveruient of British Columbia, will be , that of the Southwest British Columbia , Land & Oil Company, which will com- rneijjpe dropping inside of two weeks. It will require about 60 days to bore to the third oil sand, which is from 900 la j loo feet deep. *' ' " - > ^ .,. - OIL ASSURED HE SAYS. "There is no question as to the existence of oil, thc only point debatable ■ being ihe extent of the yield. The point selected for the first operations is in the southeast corner of British Columbia* * "Two months ago an ancient Indian trail was the only sign that a human being had ever penetrated the forests. To-day a wagon road connects the, > Crow's Nest railway line wilh the Great -, Northern. Stringsof four and six horse teams are hauling machinery and provisions1 to Akamina, the new Mecca, "The Rocky Mountains company of , . Calgary and the Western Oil "company ' of Vancouver, have each brought in wells. -The former has a small refinery ' In operation, and is selling the oil at $12 a barrel. "A large and up to dale refinery will .- be erected, capable of, handling, ihe^ . -; product of the whole field. - '^Spokane is taken the leading part in opening up this district." , Phllosopbloul aiid Otherwise.

'.Well,''she said, "you ouffht not to talk tha way you do." , Jonas replied: 7"Sl8tor, I hnva been paid sometimes . as much aa 8100 aii hour to talk the way I do; and if I talked tho way you do I •ouldn'tjjet 10.cents." . (.peaking of the uselessness of being fich nnd mlsorablo, Mr. Jones said: . "I hove been hunting fbr some follow for thirty years that could lind some thing that would beat doing right,' and I never struck but ono. I run upon him a little later, and hn said: 'The tiling has busted back,'. (Laughter.) Tho bast thing a follow over did is to dn riRht to Btart with, and just keep on dnlng rlg-ht.

Patliotic Appeal For Newspaper Men. General Booth,* although he allows a vein of humor to run through; a prayer,which he recently offered for newspaper men, evidently is sincere in the belief that they need soul nourishment., lie invoked the Almighty as follows: - "And now, dear Lord,. bless the newspaper men, whose nimble pens catch every word almost before: it is uttered. Like Thyself, they are "omnipresent and almost omnipotent. ,11 we take'the wings of.the morning-, and fly to'the uttermost parts of the earth, they are there. They meet us in th'e jungles of Africa, they waylay1 us even on the Atlantic ocean, and£when W tread - the-prairieB' of 'Notjl^merica bahfa May thoir light"find their goodness IfonertfrttMombly of, Heaven let- no newspapor-man be excluded."—Mo- hay.e ponnty Miner. Mines and Mining. .' |i?rora The-Mining World.] -- ■ A big pilgrimage has already begun into the country in and around Death Valley, which is supposed to be the locality of the mysterious bonanza owned by "Scotty" who had a sky-rocket career as a prodigal spender of, a fortune alleged to , have ' been" derived from a mine in a secret recess of Death Valley. To. "get next to"- Scotty's mine has become a popular fad fpr footloose prospectors in California and many' parties are being grubstaked for an expedition. Of petroleum and the drilling of oil wells there seems to be no end in this country. The production of last year was greater than any,. previous year. Tlie total output of crude petroleum in Elkmouth; the United Slates in 1894 was 117,063,- 421 barrels. The total value of all the petroleum- marketed in .the- -Uiiilcd States in 1094 was $101,170,466. The gain over the production of' 1903 was 17,602,084 barrels in quantity and $6,- 476,416 in value. ■ ' Lake Superior copper mines again established a record production last month. September's output exceeded all previous figures, but, the • October production was 140,000 pounds larger, and the greatest iti the history of the district. The Michigan mines produced 19,400,000 pounds of refined copper last month. Lake, brands averaged 16^ cents a pound, which indicates that the October production sold for. approximately $3,200,000.. The Chapin iron mine, the giant of the Menominee range, of Lake Superior, is one of the greatest iron proper ties ever opened.'' It is thc mainstay of the city of Iron Mountain. *-* The operator is the United Slates Steel Corpora- lion. The'Chapin, including the production achieved by the Ludiiigton and Hamilton mines before their absorption, all three portions of the property being connected and,, long- worked-' as^ one mine, has to date shipped more than 14,500,000 tons of ore. No other-single property in the Lake Superior., region has attained an output as great as this, although the b.ig Norris, at Iron- wood, Gogebic range, and the. Lake Superior group, at Ishpeining, 'Mar-, quelte range, also operated by the Steel corporation, have each produced approximately 13.000,000 tons.
