Nelson, Feb. 28,—The Mountain Lumbermcn'8 Association, at its regular monthly meeting here, to-day, announced that an advance in the price of lumber is inevitable, but for the present it hns decided to defer milking uny changes in the sehedule of charges. It- has strongly memorialised the Provincial Government to legalised the Doyle scale in the district east of the Cascade mountains, in preference to the British Columbia scnlc, which works unsatisfactorily for logs of sninll diameter, though it is nil right for the larger logs of the Const district. The Association bus also petitioned the Government for gamier efficiency in lho prevention of forest lircs. The Mundy Lumber Company propose to build a logging railway into the heart of their extensive limber limits at Three Valley Luke.

SATURDAY, MARCH li, lllllll CANOE RIVEU VALLEY. The en,|uiry made for land Ior settlement in tin- Cniioo River Valley marks the beginning of the movement for the opening up and settlement of the lands to the north of Revelstoke. This] will revive the projection ol steamboat communication between Death Rapid- and Canoe River, the completion ,,f the trail from Revelstoke! Canoe River and. a* soon us traffic warrants it, the placing of a ferry across the Columbia at Canoe River. Kevelstoke- ie undoubtedly the best point from which to reach the Canoe River country, In another column we publish a statement that there is 75,000 acres ol land available lor settlement in Canoe River Valley. Tbe importance ol this movement to Revelstoke cannot be over-estimated and no effort should lie spared to tnsure the provision ol such transportation as will make tbe aecess to and settlement of that coiintrv un easy n.:i-.;.-r It is wonderful how business is ore uiul once tho facilities for doing it ure provided. The 0 P, 11. applied to the city for electric power, and immediately several citizens saw bow they could also use such power to advantage. At the mooting ol the I Ion rd of Trade Inst night the President Slated he knew of one concern thai would take '25 horse power, This, with oibet's, brings private requirements ol electric power up to us much again us tbo 0, P, R. shops have applied lor, so that in the event ol the power being supplied thoro will bo ample demand lor it, Nothing could bettor indioate tho substantial growth and progress ol Revelstoke. In connection with the proposed Installation ol electric power by the city an important new feature was brought out nt tho Hoard uf Trade mi cling Thursday night when it was pointed out the extra cost to the city of installing an electric, power (limit would be only between $4000 anil .f 50(10. It wns contended the proposed auxiliary steam plant should not bo considered us a charge on the power installation, as it had to be put inunyho.v to provide for the regular and proper running of the light plant in case ot ice or accident to the Hume. The action ol Mr. Dell, Director of the Geological Survey ut Ottawa, in providing on Hie estimates lor the Geological Survey of the Big Bend, will be much appreciated by all wh.) nre interested in the opening of that country. The developmenl ol the Standard Mine shows the probability ol extensive ore deposits In till!t sec lion, and a report by the Geological Survey would much facilitate the prospecting and exploration ol the resources ul that country, It is now up to Mr. Galliher, M.P., to see. the vote is carried through. One of the duties of the Canadian Alpine Club now being organized us n branch ol the American Alpine Club, will be the building of cabins at various points of interest to Alpine climbers, und olearing trails lo give access thereto. It would be well il another reservoir were added to llie city wnter supply equipment this spring so as to help out in the coming summer. CAMBORNE, G, Sumner was in the city Thursday. Ilo reports an excellent outlook for the coining year al Pish Creek, The Eva mine is on u paying baais and the surplus profits ure being put into development work. Seven properties will be working this year around Camborne, The Silver Dollar have their Merrill i is very much superior t- THE CANOE RIVER VALLEY Land Available for Settlement In view of the enquiries now boing niiidc as to the area ol land available for settlement and tho character of the country in Cnnoc River Valley we publish the following from u report made for the Government by R. H. Lee, P. L. B.l "There is very little agricultural hind on the Columbia River until within ubout live miles ol the mouth nl Ibe Canoe River, where we entered a valley ol 12,000 acres ol good agricultural land, about one-hall ol which is bottom land not subject tn iniiiutu tion, good clay soil showing ten tc liftoen feet in depth at the cut-banks, with n gravelly sub soil; the remainder lying upun low benches Illty lo seventy-live leet above the river. These are also good clny land, no rock or gravel showing on the surface. The surface ol both bottom and bench land is very level and uniform; small cedar, spruce, and balsam timber and considerable bush in the bottoms; cedar, spruce and hemlock on the benches und mountains, all small timber nnd of no commercial value. Thc vegeta tion indicates considerable rainfall throughout this valley, and I do not think irrigation will be required; but il so thero is abundance of water lor this purpose in the creeks Mowing through the valley. 1 am informed by trappers who have wintered here that the boow is from three to tour feet in depth, and tho timber and bushes indicate a considerable snowfall The altitude is about 1,830 leet above sea level. The general formation is granite. '•From the mouth of Canoe River to Crews Rapids, a distance ot about twenty-two miles in a north-westerly course, the valley will average about one-hall mile in width. It bus good clny soil, with n gravelly sub-soil small cedar and spruce timber, and considerable bush. The river is from 10(1 to 1,000 leet in width, with an average current nl about five miles per hour, The bunks nre from six to fifteen leet high, showing a good clean clny soil. " Near Crews Rapids tbo valley widens out Irom one to two miles wide, and continues the same north-westerly course to Tete Juiine Caoho, on the Prater River. It has been run over with lire, and the timber and bush in the valley, as well as upon the mountains, ore ii young growth. From ubout Crews Rapids we left the wet belt and entered a drier country. We did not see moss upon tlie ground and timber as we did below and on the Columbia River. The soil is blue clay live to fifteen leet deep, with a gravelly sub-soil, covered in many places with one ,-r two ieet of black vegetable uck: small cedar, Cottonwood, spruce, and hazel bushes in patches and clumps; good meadows Irom ten t-, two hundred acres scattered tbr lUgb- ut tbe valley. The soil and climate that ut the acres, and is u shallow body of water; is situated ul nut two miles north ol Trail Crossing; could easily he drained uml made into dry land. "If irrigation should be required there is abundance ol wnter for that purpose in the creeks running through tho valley ovory few miles, ui.d the Waler could be brought upon the land with very little expense. Sonic ot the larger creeks t to out ol large valleys, The altitude is about '2,2(HI leet above sea level. "I estimate the distance Irom Revel stoke to Camp 27 (Trail Crossing) at about 171 miles by wnter, and about 160 miles by it wagon rond route. At this point the bushes nml timber also indicate a light snowfall, nnd I am informed by Mr, Joseph Null, ol Soutl Thompson River, who was wiih it C.I'. ll. survey party through this country us pucker in 187-1 75, that they wint ered their stock here und never hnd over eight to ten inches ol snow. 1 think the climate is very similar to that around Kamloops, judging from tho general appearance of the country The lirst frost ol this season occurred on the night of September 18th, and previous to this there hnd been about two weeks' rain. There wns wet weather at Kamloops corresponding with this, and frost about the sn in e date. "The Columbia River from Revelstoke to l tho mouth of Canoe River could be made navigable for steamboats at almost all stiigeB of the year. Neither Canoe River nor Wood River is navigable for steamers, but a wag gon rond could be built through thc Canoe River Volley very cheaply, and this seems tn me thc most feasible wny of bringing this beautiful valley within the reach ol settlers; or the trail up the Columbia River, which ends at Smith Creek, could be continued up to the mouth of Canoe River, about twenty-seven miles, and widened fur a wtiggun rund if required " 1 would place the acreage of good agricultural land as follows — At the Rig Bend ot the Columbia River 12,000 On Canoe River, from S. 13, T. 4, to Cranberry Luke ... 38,000 From Cranberry Lake to Tete Jaune Cache 26,000 Total acreage 75,000 The Money Saving Work Saving Soap That's Royul Crown kind- made in Vancouver—Largest Soup Knctory west of Winnipeg.

RAILWAY llil.l. On the 'louse going into adjourned committee on the Asbcrolt, Barkerville nnd Fort George Railway Bill, Manson (Alberni) moved that Section 11 be reconsidered, und llie words "or Kamloops" be re-inserted. The motion wus defeated, and the men)tier Iur Alberni ihen inlrmluceil another amendment to insert (he words "or Savona," The vole on this tied, and Patterson (Islands) being in the chair, the amendment was defeated by his ousting vote. The net to amend tbe Lightning Creek Gold Gravels and Drainage Co. Act, 18110. passed through committee, nnd was reported complete. ('OUI.MIUA ASH WESTERS Tbe Cbiel Commissioner presented a message from llis Honor the Lieut.- Governor, being an Act to amend the Columbia and Western Railway Subsidy Act. J. A. Maedonald (Rowland) asked that it be 'aid over till Wednei- day for the Opposition to look into the matter. There was some dispute over this, but the Chief Commissioner finally allowed it to stand over. The House then took up consideration ol the report on the act to amend the I'KOVISCIAI. RUCTIONS ACT, Mr. Oliver (Helta) at once introduced an amendment. Its principal plank was the total abolition ol any deposit Irom candidates at all. A long and bitter debate followed, at the close of which the Speaker put the amendment. It was heavily defeated by a vote of 25 to 13. Tbe bill was then reported and the HouBe adjourned at 5:15. LUMBERING There has been some misconcfption evinced in the interior of the province among the lumbering interests, with respect to the amendment of W. J. Bawser (Vancouver) to the Und Act, removing the exemption Irom taxation of timber cut on lands whose Crown grants issued subsequent to 1887-8. The proposed legislation is in no way prejudicial to the interior lumber in dustry. This amendment is only aiming to prevent the export of unmanufactured lumber to the United States—a traffic with which the interior is no al all concerned, ll does not in any way propose to tax oxpor- Northwest Territories. The proposed legislation will put an effectual check on systematic robbery ol thc province by putting an export duty ol ft a thousand leet on manufactured lumber ol every description—no matter where fro n in the ImundaricB of thc province—whereas, il inaiiiifiii'ttired in Britisli Columbia, it only has to pay a tax ol one cent per thousand feet. It is in reality an additional sule- gitnrd on an Act which was framed lor the express purpose of preventing the forest lands ol British Columbia Irom being denuded ol limber for the benefit of manufacturers in a foreign country. Victoria, Feb. 27, 11)00. The bill to amend the PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS ACT passed its third reading to-day. The Act to amend the COLUM1IIA & WESTERN Railway Subsidy Act, brought down by message from tlio Lieut, Governor, passed its lirst rending, The feature of the day was the speech ol Mr. Wells (PulliBsr)who,continuing tlio adjourned debute ol the motion of King (Cranbrook) lor the production of certain papers connected with the Koo.(...iy Central Railway Co., pro ceeded to ninkn a fervent attack upon the Government's railway pulley, The papers were otdrreil to be brought down.

The time card of the double limited train service for the summer of 1900 has been practically agreed on. That the service of this year will be the most satisfactory and the best the country has every enjoyed. The Moose Jaw local which, beginning on March 4, will run through to Calgary, will, it is said, be continued permanently as a Calgary local,giving last service to all points between Winnipeg and Calgary. As already announced, this train, beginning on March 4, will curry sleeper and dining cr cnle car, and will be operated on a very fnst time schedule, thus enabling them to make better time on their transcontinental journey. Formany years it has leen the dream of railway operators to run a limited passenger train through from Vancouver to Montreal or vice veisa in 72 hours. All railway men have considered and figured on this possibility, nnd it has many times been asserted that this would ultimately be dune. To understand h w lingo a reduction this would be, it is only necessary to remember t hat the personal running lime, mi the winter schedule between Montreal and Van tation from this province into tlie-couvcr is one hundred und twenty-two hours a:,d fifteen minutes, Five davs are thus consumed between tho two chief terminal points ol the system, thc milcngc covered in enrh ol the five days being approximately ns follows: On Monday, 058 miles; on Tuesday, 0811 miles; on Wednesday, 480 miles; on Thursday, 588 miles and on Friday 443 miles, leaving 52 miles to be run on Saturday. The points ,it which the passengers now arrive on each successive morning iB us follows: Leaving Montreal on Monday, he is at tlie same hour on Tuesday at Miesun- ublc, on Wednesday morning lm Is approaobing Winnipeg, and on Thursday morning is at Moose Jaw, on Friday morning is at Field, un Saturday morning at the same hour he is at Million Junction, and within a lew minutes of noon tlio train is pulled into Vancouver. Of the 122 hours oooupied between Montreal and the coast, six arc spout in Winnipeg, and several hours arc lost through the changes ot time. VERY FAST TIME EXPECTED, Although the reduction ul the summer schedule frum these figures to 72 liuurs seems beyond all probability, steps have already been taken in the direction ol it, and It is stated that another step will be taken iu the same direction during the present season.

I I.KI-ITIII- I'OUBlt HlK UKVKI.STOKI; The question of the advisability ol tilt City of Revelstoke installing electric power was next tnken up und cliche,! a lengthy debute. The Hoard were unanimously ol the opinion it would be n splendid thing lor the Cily il they could provide olootrio power not only (or the 0. P. It, simps but lor nil oilier Industries requiring it, us it, would be ii great incentive to thu development ol the city and In new industries to locate here. Mr. Floyd, being naked lor figures available, stated ibe city bud nt pro sent. 21KI horse-power running tn waste. A generator eupablt' ul pro- ducii g inn horse-power would cost between four uud live thousand del lam, and a iteam plant nl Hull horsepower capacity would cost ubout $1:1,11011 according to the figures obtained, After running the present light plant t<> its lull capacity—u demand thut would not lie made on it for some years—Ibe city would hnve a surplus of \'& horse-power. F. II. Lewis pointed out the steam plant Bhould not be charged to power as they would have lo get it anyhow in order to keep the light running when there was ice in the llll.ue, and the revenue loBt to the city Irom shutdown ol light was sulllcient to cover interest and sinking liiiul on tho power plant, apart Irom the fact that it would do away with the inconvenience nnd annoyance experienced by shutting down the light owing to ice. The ileum plant in this way would really cost the eity nothing extra. Aid. Howson suid the mallei was n very important one affecting tlie city, ami tbe Council would be glad to have co operation and assistance ol the business men in getting figures, so as to protect tbe city and yet allow ol a reasonable proposition being made to the C.P.R. M. J. O'Brien objected to tupplying tlie C.I'.R. with electricity at less than cost and instanced the 'special light rate now accorded them. He pointed out this scheme would necessitate a loan ol |20,000 which would be running the city up against the limit of its borrowing powen, and il anything further cropped up requiring lundi they would not have the power to borrow. Mr, Floyd laid the city could borrow against it! wator and light revenue which would largely increase ill borrowing powers. Mr. O'Brien was opposed to special borrowing ol that kind. Mr. Young enquired the rates now charged tho C.I'.R. lor light. Mr. Kilpatrick said that so far Irom the C.I'.R. thinking they had a bargain in tlie present light rates, they really considered they could supply their own light at a lower rate. In proof ol this there wai a sum on the estimates this ycai lor supplying their own light at Revelitoke, but it the city supplied power this would not be done. As to the proposed power plant, speaking as a private citizen, he could Buy the C.I'.R. found Revelstoke a very convenient point for repair and ihop work generally, and if they could get Irom the city electric power ut a prico that would justify ihem in taking it, no doubt the result would be the extension of the work done here by the Company. It was, however, a question of ligurei and tlie city Bhould go carefully into tlie matter ol cost of production in basing its offer to the C.P.R. The mechanical department no doubt knew what it would pay them to give the city lor power, but be hnd no knowledge of that. The chairman said be knew ol one industry thut would take 25 horse power in addition il power were put ill. (ither speakers pointed out there would lu' a considerable increase in use ol light il it were run day and night ns people would use it lor lighting their cellitrs, nnd would hnve it on earlier In winter.

Itilrrviewwt'ils'to the bushiest done at the conference nl School Trustees ol the I'liuiuce- which Mr. Floyd attended nl Victoria, Mr. Floyd informed us the following matters were dealt willi, MKIUllAI, EXAMINATIONS, The first business wus the discussion of n paper by Dr. Hull, recommending a medical, cxuniinulinn ol nil pupils on application lo enter the schools so thai ihey might i,e examined us to short or long sigbl, defective bearing, other physical .lisnhililics and com- miiiii.-uble diseases. Those ulVcctcd could then Ihi classified fur separate medical supervision. Considerable disciisiiim took pluee on Ibe subject and it was considered tbii doctor's suggestions would be taking luo much out ol li-inds o parents. It'was pointed out com nuiniciihle diseases were already shut out ol the schools. With regard to pupils physically unfit it was considered their mixing Willi the other children hnd n beneficial effect, leaching them In sic the otbei side of Hie and to have linn, mi ity and sympathy lor the nlllicted. A resolution was proposed that a medical cxuniiiiatiuii lie made ot every child entering school, and periodical examinations thereafter. Mr. Floyd opposed this, urging rather that' each , individual esse lie dealt witli as it required. He considered that In Canada such a proposal tl thtt niiide wai not required. UXIVEUBlTV. The next subject attracting the attention Ol the conference wns thut ol ii university (or British Columbia. The disouision Wat led by Miss Cameron, and the matter was evidently broiiL'ht forward on account ot the bill in the House for thc establishment ot Magill t'nivenity College. Tlie debute developed into a struggle ai to whether Victoria or Vancouver wai to be the teat ol the University. Miss Cameron urged the time had como lor the-establishment of a univenity by the- Province and attacked the bill, with Hie result the Vancouver representatives put up a counter resolution. Supt, Argue, of Vancouver, took: a hand in the discussion, staling the object of the bill before the Legislature was to give Magill control over the Vancouver High School and hand over the appliances to that institution. Miss Cameron's motion carried.. In tlie course ol the discussion Mr. Floyd drew attention to the desirability of making endowment, ol public binds to provide for the maintenance of such institutions instead of having them a burden on the tax-payers. The delegates saw the point and conceded the argument, but carried it further and said if endowments were made (or a university there was also no reason why they should not he made towards providing for elementary education. Hr. Torroy attended the conlerence on liehalf of Magill University and explained the .bill before the legislature did not prevent B.itish Columbia from having - a university when the time came lor it. school MOORS.
