Atlsntic fleet, from Ironbound Island alter she had been on tbe recks (or three months and took her to Halilax dock get I13o,000 salvage, tbi* being hall the estimated value of tbe ship alter the coat of repairs, which it is said may amount to $70,000. It is understood that the cost of floating the ship owing to repeated disappointments, amounted to about MO.OOO, STEAM LAUNDRY FIRE Prompt Action by No. 2 Brigade Saves Total Destruction Exceptional promptness and deoi sive action on the part of lhe bo a of Fire Brigade No. 2 on Satuiday night prevented what might have been a disastrous blaze, resulting; in heavy financial loss. As it is, the Are which broke out shortly alter seven o'olock on Saturday evening in tbo steam laundry was confined chiefly to the engine and boiler house which was gutted and spreading through the partition into the main part ol the building oharred the wood work and no more It appears that the hands bad left at the usual time and the engine, to all intents and purposes, safe, when from some unknown cause the toiler house took Are and the wood being thoroughly dry and inflammable was rapidly consumed. Tbe flames burst through the roof and it was this which gave the alarm, a* a resid nt on McKenzie Avenue seeing the blaze concluded that it wa not caused by bonfires but by the burning roof of the steam laundry. Communication was at once made by telephone wilh Fire Hall No. 2, other alarms meanwhile having been turned in and the brigade fortunately securing a rig made quick time for tlie scene of the blize. The fire was found to have got a good hold of the boiler house which waa practically gutted, and the flames were running up the outer wall of the main building and creeping through the partition and along the roof when the water was brought into play. The city electrician rapidly cut the electric wires to prevent live wire danger. A powerful jet ol water was directed into the heart of the fire and after a short tussel the tremendous pressure from the nozzle got the upper hand and human skill gained the day. On going over the ruins it was found that the main building was only partially damaged, aod tbe machinery untouched, although there is practically nothing left of the boiler r Kim. The larger part of the clothes which were in tbe building were hurriedly taken out and only a few odds and ends were burned. The lire nri- gade are to be highly comraendid for their prompt action and splendid woik in getting at tbe heart ol the blaze so quickly, which undoubtedly saved the buildiug Irum being entirely destroyed, J. C. Hutchison, the proprietor, states that the insurance will cover the damage, the policy being issued by E. A. Haggen in the London Mutual. Preparations are now going on for the erection ol a new boiler house and engine room and Mr. Hutchison hopes to be able to have the laundry agaiu io operation on Monday, May 11th.

FATAL COLLISION 9 Killed, 30 Injured—Revel- stokers Miraculous Escape Ann Arbor Mich.. May 5.—Nine completes the grim roster of death consequent upon tbe terrific head-on oolliaion of trolley oars on the Ypsil- anti-Ann Arbor Jaokaon division of the Detroit United Railway last week.

C for the sake of parental indifference or selfishness, is not doing justice either to tlie child or to tlio teacher and very soon a spirit, of "I don't oare if 1 do not learn" ia fostered which in years to come may he the ruin of a promising scholar. The absence of one pupil retards n whole class, as when the absentee returns the class must of necessity go slow in order to allow the child time to grasp the subjects before the advanced stages can be dealt with. Thus it will be seen how particular parents must be in keeping their children up to the mark and creating the desire to attend school and take an interest in their work, and no parent who has any love for, or desire to see their children make progress at school, which not only trains the mind but also the body, will from selfish reasons, wilfully keep them at home when they should be lawfully at their studies.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM Apropos of the fire in the steam laundry on Saturday night and the prompt manner in which Fire Brigade No. 2 responded to the call, it is gratifying to see that we have an organization who are thoroughly alive to their work and responsibilities as firemen, and can be relied upon to be "there" when wanted.

SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1908 PARENTAL OBLIGATIONS In our last issue there appeared a letter signed by A. E. Miller, the priucip-1 of the school, complaining ol the irregular attendance on the part of many of the pupils. In moet cafe* '.he blame can be laid on tbe parents themselves, who either from indifference or as a matter of convenience to themselves-, allow their children to remain from school. In both cases we think that the parents are to blame, since in the former, it should be the duly of every parent to see that their children attend school and not by their own indifference, take no particular pains as to whether they go or not; and in the latter case, a parent has no moral right to distinctly violate that section of the school act which says that every child from the age of seven to fourteen inclusive shall attend school during the regular school hours ot every shool day, unlets sicknees or other similar causer prevent them, and detain their children at home for their own convenience, thereby creating in the childish mind a desire to keep away from school, and also indirectly spoiling the work and interest in the same, already instilled into the child. Parenls should be careful in all that they do before their children, for the youibfold mind ia prone to accept and adopt any example which their father or mother may set them. It is not fair to cailnc children to lose even a moment ut tbeir school training, for every hour lost can never be really regained, except by extra work in play hours on tbe part of tbe pupil, which is rarely, if ever done. For a child to lose valuable time iu study just to cope with the city's greatesl enemy. This work was admirably carried out, without disorder or undue excitement, and this, coupled with a fine city water pressure, in our opinion saved the building from total wreck. One point which we have frequently advocated at different times is.that our fire alarm system is not adequate for the Bize and expansion of the city, and not only that, it is unreliable when emergency arises. Although the boxes are tested once a week, and the defects if any, remedied there and then, there iB nothing to show, that, at the time they are actually required to be used in any emergency, they are in working order. Such a condition as.this might end disastrously and it should be the chief care of the municipal authorities to pay particular attention to the fire alarm system and ensure its real reliability in time of need. Uuder the present system, the number ot alarms cannot be extended and we think that now Revelstoke has increased in size to such a large extent that the public safety demands a better supply of alarm boxes and a system that will be found lo do the work called for. WASTE OF DAYLIGHT Considerable interest has been evinced of late in the advisability of lengthening the days, now that summer bas come and pushing time ahead one hour in order to give a longer evening for pastimes and amusements, and to those who work in stores and offices more time to devote to their homes and to any recreation which at the present time is so curtailed. This important question has been discussed both in England as well as in Canada and has already been put into practice in Port Arthur and Fort William. We would suggest that time be pushed ahead one hour, thus when it is 5 o'clock now, make it 6 o'clock. This would mean starting work an hour earlier but the stores, etc., would close an hour earlier and afford longer evenings. We fully believe that the new order of things would prove particularly satisfactory to all Revelstoke. An opportunity has been afforded lately for people to observe the bourn of good daylight that have been wasted in the morning while waiting for the tis-.tial time to commence the day's work, and the possibilities for out door pleasures that have been lost by reason of the present hours of work now confining them to stores, shops, etc., until nearly sundown in tho evening. Practically the only appreciable difference there will be in the change of lime is the lengthening ot the daylight period in tho evening and shortening it in the morning. We do not anticipate any trouble in the change, in fact wn believe that it will he accepted unanimously by the citizens ns a community and the sooner the necessary steps are taken, either in Editors are Cheerful Liars Did it ever occur to any why country iditors are such cheerful liar,-? The cross road town today would boy oott tbe man who dared to tt 11 the truth and nothing but the truth in a country newspaper. Strange us it mny seem to some, editors as a clusa are born witb a conscience, but as they rub up against tbe lying public wbo have some selfish motive in view, their early training st their mother's] knee is loo often forgotten in tbe ^crumble tor tbe almighty dollar. Mother Swell-head has a ten parly with twelve present. She ask- tlie editor to say there were fifty picsont aud a four course banquet foils wed, Mr. Blowhard orders nine dollars worth of goods aud asks you to say that he bas nine hundred dollars worth on the rond. Let the meanest old cuss in town pass in his clucks aud tbe preacher and editor laud bim to tbe skies. No matter if be has been a wife beater, a chicken thief and a drunken reprobate who "bucks the tigeT" while bis wife chases dirty undershirts up and down the washboard to feed ber balf-starved family, when this man's carcass ia deposited in the bone orchard, then it is that the public expects tlie editor to be a smooth liar and whitewash bis benighted soul. Next comes the flannel-tongued scsndal-monger of the female persuasion, who has ruined the lives of many young girls, and who bus kept tbe social circles ol the town in hot water for years by the use of her deceitful, lying tongue; she becomes an angel in the columns of the newspaper the moment death paralyzes her. A preacher may be un ordinary pulpit pounder and a bore to tbe community, but every time he talks the editor is no good if he fails to say "the sermons are musically deep ai.d dramatically interesting.'' Every "dinky" entertainment must be grand, every schuoima'am proficient and every business man progressive, every city dad religions); perfect, every new-comer a valuahle acquiei-j tion to society: the climate must ie delightful, tbe women tbe prettiest in > tbe country, the men the most public-1 spirited in the province, or llie paper is not worth reading ami the editor is ,.. ,. e| too slow. CHANGE;OF TIME Two Cities Set Their Clocks Ahead One Hour Tout Arthur, Out., May 4.—It is opportune today to remind tlie people of the two citiei I hut tomorrow at midnight, or any hour thereabouts which nmy suit their individual convenience, tbey are to set their watches and clocks one hour ahead. This will be c.irrying out tbe terms of an agreement re died by a large proportion of the business population and ratified by resolution ol the city council to adopt eastern time as tbe standard fur conducting business instead of central, which has bteu in vogue up to tbe present.

The surrounding district is [unious throughout the continent for its mountains of low grade ores. The Big Bend contains some valuable mineral deposits, while transportation facilities for tho marketing of the same are exceptionally good.

In the neighborhood are superior beds of clay for brick making.

FRUIT The confidence of tbe residents in tbe fruit possibilities of this district is shown in a practical manner by the establishments ol large orchards aud farms. As a Iruit country the district adjacent to the city is unsurpassed and it has been repeatedly eaid that nowhere in B. C. can be grown fin-r strawberries. As yet the quantity of fruit shipped is small, but hundreds of aores of trees are now planted which will develop into rich and profitable orchards.

WASTE OF DAYLIGHT Suggestions Regarding Hours of Daylight in Summer The question of daylight during the summer months is one which should be of interest to everyone here. As things are at present there will be very little time for outdoor pleasure after the business of the day is over. We would suggest that Father Time be pushed along an hour, lor instance, when it is eight o'clock now, make it nine o'clock, tbis would of course mean starting to work an hour earlier than at present, but business places would be closed an hour earlier in the evening, thus affording a longer evening for boating, tennis, football, basketball and the other numerous pastimes which we are fortunate enough to have, than we have at present. The London Times devotes over half a column to this question and states that a bill is already in tho House of C< nini'ins and bas passed its nccond reading dealing with this question, und it is receiving unanimous support.

To Field and to Shaw belong the honor of making the Victoria team's score respectable, for without these two men the score would total only fifteen.
