N. R. waa effected Saturday and will light any attempt on the part ol tbe companies to either reduce wages or exterminate the unions. The fed- ei'iition embraces iu all about .'1000 men, 2000 of whom are on the C.P.R and 1000 on the C.N R. The men are preparing for May 1st when tbe notice received from the companies to the effect tbat all schedules would be ter- minalid goes into tiled. No other communication has been received since. The two sides are closely watching each other's movements. Tbe men bave appointed a joint committee, which will represent the federation and treat with the companies. Tbe committee has approached tbe companies asking for an interview on the matter and tbe C.P.R. has agreed to meet a committee from the men. It is believed that tbere is really a concerted action in this matter on the part ol all railroads on the continent. RAILWAY GARDENS Employees Take Great Interest in Beautifying Grounds. The annual distribution of seeds from the floral department of the Canadian Pacific is now taking place, and as a result of the efforts of N. S. Dunlop, .he C. P. R. floral enthusiast, during the coming summer there will be a streak of flowers and shrubs across the whole continent from St. John to Vancouver Island, which will tend in no small degree to give travellers an idea of the beauty of the country. From a small beginning this floral scheme of tbe big railway bas become almost an national institution, and the interest in it is growing very fast amongst the employees of tbe C. P. R. especially those in small stations, where 'bey have time to go in for gardening. The scheme is evidently becoming a greater success every year. ''During the past lew months," said Mr. Dunlop, "I have had hundreds of letters from railway agents, section men and others who received these packages ol seeds, telling of the great pleasure they derived Irom them. Tbe work has proved a blessing to thousands of employees of the company in the lonely districts of the west, where both they and their families have taken great interest iu beautifying the stations with tbeir garden work. This year we expect to have more railway gardens than ever before, aud the result cannot but be both beneficial to the road and ite employes, as well as a source of pleasure to travellers along the line." GRAPE CULTURE Colony of Germans to be Settled on Kootenay Lake Nelson, April 21.—Joseph Kdiuger, representing the British Columbia Colon nation Agency, has purchased 345 acres on tbe arm of Kootenay Lake, west of Nelson, and will settle a colony there ol Germans, who are all used to grape culture, and brought here from Kurnpean vineyards. Some are already here, and others will arrive this month, some twenty-live families iu all. . Grape culture aud lhe making ol native wine are the chief features, but fruit and market garden stuff will be raised as wejl. The present venture is only a beginning ol a large undertaking along tbe lines indicated. Other lands will be rapidly acquired under tbe one management, and many more settlers brought iu this year.

GRUESOME DISCOVERY Decomposed Body Found at Three Valley*-5 Months in Ice Coroner Cross held an inquest on the body of David Gilroy last night, who was found drowned in a lake at Three Valley on Saturday last. From the evidence it appears that 'he deceased had been known at Wigwam, where he bad been working in a lumber camp the beginning of November, and had left there in order to get work at Three Valley. The deceastd was also idcntilicd as being an ex- member of the Order of Knglee at Arrowhead, and further recognized us a man who on Oct 8th, 1907, had purchased a watch and charm Irom a local jeweller's store. Evidence show- ed that about Nov. 10, 1907, the deceased had left Revelstoke for Time Valley but had not been seen sincealivc Provincial Constable Kington stated that he had received the body where found by a mill hand in the water at Three Valley on Saturday. Two bottles ol whisky and a gold watch, which was identified ss being sold him in Revelstoke, were found on decessed. The buily when found was some distance from the C.P.K. truck, in the lake west of tho Mundy Lumber Co.'h store at Three Valley, and was in a bad stste ol decomposition. Deceased had not been seen since Nov. 10, and it is supposed he was beating his way in s stste of intoxication to Three Valley on a freight and being carried past the station or stores junipssd or fell oil' tho cars, into the water, striking lis head violently snmewhore, as marks on thu deceiiped's head seemed to show. Tho body was frozen in all the winter, and only discovered when the ice melted. The jury brought in a verdict of death from drowning. Tne body was interred yesterday afternoon.

Road Bed at Bear Creek. With distant multled rumbling, so well known to every railroad man in the mountains, increasing to a roar that could be heard for miles, a huge avalanche nf snow und debiis tore doivn the mountain side at No.2 snow Hhi'd at Bear Creek, shortly before midnight on Monday last, sweeping with irresistible force part of the shed and completely demolishing one end of it, snd carrying the watchman's house, watchman and all, several yards leaving it on the edge ol the embankment and tearing away a hundred yards of C. P. R. track in its headlong career. Fortunately no train was passing at the time and no one was injured, although the watchman had a narrow escape. A small army of men were sent out and bents were made to carry the rails, while the snow which blocked the track at either end, and which completely tied up the trallic was being removed. Passengers and baggage were transferred across the gap as the trains came up. This is the largest slide this season. No. 97 arrived at 3 a in. this morning. Another heavy rock, mud and snow slide swept over Laurie snow shed at 11 30 p.m. on Monday, breaking in the tunnel in three places, and blocking the track for many yards. The watchman, after being hemmed in for a time between two large piles of debiis, extricated himself aud gave the warning to the approaching train. The rotary could not work in tbe rock and mud and gangs of men were employed removing the rubble. METALIZED CORPSES Dead Bodies to Look Like Solid Gold. Chicago, April 22—The Inter- Ocean to-day eayB: Wolfram C Fuclis, an X-ray expert of Chicago, who died a year ago with X-ray cancer, a martyr to science, discovered a marvellous secret by which he was able to work certain changes in living organisms that transform them into metal. For two years belore his death he conducted a series of experiments which reached their climax in the uielalizition of a rose. Reinhardt D. Fuchs, his brother, took up the work where lie left off and brought tbe secret process to practical peifcciion. Mr. Fuchs is planning to melali/e a human body, which he proposes to put on exhibition in a downtown window. It will be that of a pauper. By the secret process of metuliz ition it will be changed into a statute which to all appearances will be of solid gold. The cost of thid strange conversion ol a human corpse into metal, according to the inventor's estimate, will be $500. MERRY WIDOW HAT Is Barred by Priest From Church. Kansas City, Mo., April 21,—For the lirst time in the history ol Kl, Mary's Roman Catholic church, just across the Kansas Missouri line, women attended service without that part ol a women's apparel most criticised by otni-r women. Mure than twenty women went through their devotions with bared heads. It ull ctiiiiu about through an injunction issued a week agu by the aged priest, Father Anton Kulils, who declared that "Merry Widow" hats hod no place in the church of God, and that they did not go well with the cruicilix He asked that any woman who wore a hat measuring more than two (cot iu diameter tu leave it with the sexton before entering church, Following these instructions, about hall a cotd of "Merry Widow's" were stacked up in the anteroom ol the church, while their owners listened wilh bared heads to the rending of the Litany.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1908 OPTIMISTIC PRINCIPLES Money is commencing to seek investment and from all parts of the continent reports are showing that the call for money in the stock market has eased up anil the bank*, are willing to let go for legitimate investments. liank stateoif-ntB show that practically all of the banks in the country have in excess of their full legal reserve and are no longer desirous of holding to a lot ol capital which is- not working for them. For money to lie ot any use to n coun try or a community, it must lie in circulation nnd the fact of a circulation. Iseing establirbod each individual in that community will nap a benefit. It is unreasonable to rappoie that you tan delay payment of just indebtedness because of anxiety regarding business conditions in the immediate future and not suffer from the resulting depression. If any individual (n-reon were to follow this OOUne, WE WANT POPULATION. Canada wants population, says Industrial Canada, that much is conceded by everyone, and the Government is justified in paying for it. We are not, however, bo badly in need of population that the Government is justified in buying the riff-raff of the Old Country and transplanting it into Canada. Mr. Savage says that the booking agent who sends out emigrants should be a man of conscience, and he should have a knowledge of the country and of the capabilities of the people he sends out. It is a serious business, and carries a grave responsibility, but it is to be feared that too many of the agents, who find recognition in Canada, look upon it merely as a good field for graft, and work it on that principle. The orders issued to the Government's accredited agents to restrict their energies to the selection of farm laborers, navvies, and domestic servants, leaves all the rest an eaBy prey to the grafter. Thny do not scruple to list them as farmers, domestics or navvies when it means XI apiece for doing it. If the Government's representatives were authorized to deal with all classes seeking information they would be in a better position to check graft and send tthc right people out. The point is tbat the mere issuing of orders not to send out mechanics does not prevent mechanics being sent out under false pretences, and then working their way back to damn the country. There nre times when we want mechanics for the development of the country and the extension of its industries, and at such times they are just as valuable to Canada a6 farmers, and the Government should see that they are given every chance to come. When they are not needed let them be warned to remain sway. We need population, but it takes more than fanners, domestic servants and navvies to populate a country. Ii should be the aim, as it is the duty, of the Qovernment to get the best class to come, and to see that THE REAL NEW YEAR May 1st Should be Proclaimed New Year's Day—Winter the Jailer—Spring the Deliverer. It is a great pity that some arrangement cannot be made with the almanac makers whereby the year could begin with the first of May. On the 1st of January one hss no real sensation of the beginning of a new period, tbe starting of a new deal. Between tbe Inst day of December and the 1st day of January there exists no substantial difference. Human nature does not signify by one heart throb that it is aware of the change. Mature does not turn over in its sleep when the whistles blow and the bells ring lo announce tin- artificial dawn of the artificial year, or disturb the snow blanket under which it has lain inanimate for a month or more. On tlm other hand we spontaneously signal ize the arrival of spring by a revolution in our thoughts, our manners, our physical relations to the world, our clothes, our houseB and our hahip. Nature, contemptuous of the aatrono- m rd, shakes otV its cold lethargy and gives us a happy new year nt the flowery threshold of the monih of May. We cannot suggest bow tbe proposed change could be bis ugl t about or whether Pope Pius who saw the real New Year sail splendidly actoss tbe lagoon in his beloved Venice for many years, could upset the decree of his learned predecessor. Ore can only say that, one's own blood tells us that although by tbe illumine we are well into the 6econd quarter of the new year, the old year ia on'y just going. Against our craven submission to tiie wbl'i'S of tlie seasons, Doctor J.ihnson fays: "Surely nothing is more reproachful to a being endowed with reason than to resign its poweis to the air nnd live in dependence in the weathei and the wind for tbe only blessings whieli nature put into our power, tramp ility and benevolence. Tbis distinction of seasons is produce I only by imagination operating tr luxury. lie that sball resolutely excite his faculties or exert his virtues will aoon make himself superior to the seasons." Tbe spring is the open door of tbe real new year. The new year to have reallv the significance tbat we now pretend for it ought to suggest a promise ol better things. If tbe grace were within there would be out « ard and visible signs. Our jaded Spirits are supposed to bu revived with hope of the future, but how can they revive witb tbe larger and colder, and worst part of tbe winter rising before them. The new year should mean^a striking otf of shackles, a general moral and physical gaol delivery. Uur artificial new year but leads us from tbe cold celis of Decetn'ier to tbe Colder cells of January, Winter, no matter what we pretend, old or young, is thraldom (or all northern climes. It is a constant tuhi with a cruel and zealous jailer who is never more dangerous tlmn at moments when he appears t • relax Ins vigilance Word is pas wl round that spring is at hand. The jailer still nearly all of them is tin low, tbe cos1 of white paper and manufacture is too high, and they give a great deal too much for the one meigru cent that most ol them ii- w sell for. We hope uur Greut Re, tilator will make a law soon thnt no newspaper shall be more than four pages long on weekdays and six pages on Sunday, nor sell lor less than two cents.—New York Lite.

On the American continent there are no natural phenomena ul mure mysterious and fascinating interest than the lost rivers of tlie West These hide-and-seek streams ns a rule bead in the mountain areas and ru-li downward into bowl-like valleys, Drynook, is just below Rpenoes llr'nlne. It is ii whole mountain-side gradually shifting into the Thompson Hiver. Above this moving mountain isa hike nf Bi npy, greasy water. This Suiipy hike, us it is locally known, seeps through the suil till it Htrikea bedrock, and then works its way along the sur face of the rock, oozing out below tlie led of the Thompson. The bedruck bring thus lubricated the whole mountain gradually slips down, and since the construction of the C.P.R. its tails have hod to bo moved several times. No amount of piling', of which much has been done, seems of any avail in stopping its infinitesimal progress. Year after year it moves down, nnd every few years (he rondbe I has to be sure. When holes are driven through this stratum an artesian well is formed. In other cases the wii/er is absorbed and is taken up sby the spoors-like material, and disappears from sight, passing beneath und through lhe lava. and finally emerging through i'ark caverns and deep, canyons inin the main stream. Thia wonderful lava bed makes n natural valve regulator. It swallows up tbe Hoods that ceme down the sleep slopes. It absorbs the rains and snows, and then releases them slowly through a filler miles and miles in length, into the river channel. There are no turbid Hoods in the Deschutes. In fact, there are no Hoods Ht all, Day after day and year after ye»r its swept downward and westward, covering the beautiful valley with a blunktt of fiery Ijquid mure than Sol) feet thick. In the cataclysm all the teen ing life wus annihilated The rivers were burned up and their channels obliterated. The Snake River cut its way thru the lava sheet, carving for itself one of fie must wonderful canons in tlie west; other streams from the south persisted and finally joined the parent stream. On the north the rivers en countered the wall of lava, but did not out through it. It is a striking by- drographic feature of the valley that for hundreds of miles not a river cr, sies it from the north. **e»"". —" -s v.-*" COUOAR VALLEY Site of the famntis Deutschmsn Caves anil the lust Cougar Ifiter GLACIER AT HEAD OF COUGAR VALLEY Deutschman Caves, where Cougar Creek has its source. IN THE BOWELS OF THE EaRTH Or.e of the many underground chambers hewn out by Cougar Creek, the " Lost River," east of Revelstoke. COUGAR CREEK Taking last wild leap into the open before being lost in Biibteranean channels COUGAR CHEEK Exit from underground at Gopher Bridge. where they incontinently vanish. Some of them reappear miles from the vanishing point, while others are. lost for ever and no man knows what becomes of their waters. British Columbia has several of these rivers, the best known having been discovered only in the last couple of years within a lew miles of the 0. P. R. main line. It is Cougar Cieek, and il runs plump into tho side of a clilV and loses itsell in the interior uf the mountain. It was discovered by Charles Dcut'chmau and bus attraced a great deal of attention from geologists and scientists. During tlie 4ci- 000 years it iB supposed to have been running in its present courBe it has scooped out the most fantastic curves imaginable, some of then being in pure marble of the most beautiful oolors and markings, The Bow River also loses itstlf for a while, and reappeais lar below the the point of disappearance. Explorers through the interior constantly come across email streams which have a lashion of ducking into tbe ground and reappearing again. At Thompson's Siding on the C. P, It. a good-sired river squirts out of tho cliff snd drops a sheer three or four hundred feet. Tbere is no sign of a river above, and any other origin than tbe hole out of which it incontinently tumbles is unknown. Tho worst snd most troublesome slide on the whole C. 1'. R. system, thu rebuilt. An attempt is to he made to drain the lake nil' in another direction. As opals have frequently been found in this vicinity and especially along tho shores of Soapy Lako, ita draining might disclose some valuable deposits As a rule, though not iu the case of Cougar Creek, the lloors of the valleyB into which disappearing rivers How generally ure comparatively level and consist uf loose sands and gravels, washed down from rocky and furest- clud slopes, which alisui li the water and ihrough which it percolates slowly beneath tho surface When the slow-moving underground current encounters an obstruction, as it often does, in tlie shape of it natural rock dyke or tho wall of the lower end of the valley, tho water is (orced to the surface and the stream is born again, Thus tho Santa Ana River in California sinks in the wash above Red- lands, rises to the surface above Bunker Hill "dyke," sinks below it, rises from Riverside to Bedruck Canyon he low El Rincoti, sinks in tho wash above .Sunlit Ana, and finally partly rises again in the huge pcatlund springs above Talbot, Tlio San Gabriel and the Los Angeles Rivers exhibit the same chariicterists, but ilisnp pear and reappear seldomer in thoir much shorter course to the Beit. At Mime points those sunken rivers How for long distances under a wide stratum of impervious material where the water is under considerable pres- How iB uniform, and its wuters sparkling and clear. For this reason pro biibly it U lhe finest trout stream in America, New Mexico also has a truant Btrcum, the Rio Mimhrcs. It drains many miles of mountain country iu the southern part of the territory, and for a time is it si renin of importance, it Hows out upon the plains near Doming and is lost forever, Bwallnwi'd up in the loose sand and gravel. The PeCOS ton is a truant at tunes, and seeks seclusion beneath the surface, coming up miles below in artesian springs of great volume and Huw, Ages ago, when the earth wus young, thu great Smtko River plain in Idaho now a scene ol utter desolation, was u semi tropicul garden. Countless streams crossed it, and lengthwise through it flowed the mighty Snake. In the forest primeval and over tho veriliire-c.lad plains roamed the nine todiin, tho mammoth, tho camel, u queer kind of horse and many other spocieB of prehistoric animals, We know all this to be true by reaBun of tho discovery of tho remains of those extinct animals iu the recent cxcavit tions made at Mcnidoka Rapids A great catastrophe overwhelmed, this valley. On several different occasions the lost Totons, which frame its eastern boundary, and which were then activo volcanoes, erupted and poured forth a sea ol lava, which LEGAL PACKAGES Maxwell Smith on Grading and Packing B. C. Fruit. "The Dominion government regulations regarding tlie legal packing of fruit, the grading and marking, will be enforced during tne coining season with perhaps more firmness than at any time heretofore,' announces with emphasis Maxwell Smith, the Dominion fruit inspector. Ignorance will no more be regarded as un evcuse for disregard of the regulations and all ihn-o having the best interests ul the fruit industry at heart will doubtless co-operate witb the government oftic i ils in this work." Witb regard to the suitability of the weather now at the opening of tho season it may sound paradoxical tu sty that Mr. Smith is well pleased witb the weather and yet is sitting in trembling of it. His fear is not that it will get colder, but that it will get brighter and then colder. "While tlio every day citizen is bemoaning tho backward spring," he says, "1 am pleased to death because every day of ! this kind of weather makes our fruit I crop safer. ThiB cool spell is just i » hat we want. It is keeping back the huda bo that there is no danger of s la e frost damaging the blossoms." Good ripe bananas, oranges and lemons, at C. B. Hume A Co.'s.

Once again the joyful season of springtide is here and Easter Sunday one of the most beautiful of the great festivals of the church, has dawned Easter morning broke over the city on ' Sunday dull and cloudy with sting of rain in the air and far from what could be termed ideal Easter weather. To the feast of our risen Lord there comeB coincidentally the rebirth of nature and we greet the symbols of the Resurrection in bud"ar.d blade, in the bluing skies and all that goes to make up the sum of a sweet spring morning. As we wish one another "a happy Easter" there is a two-fold joy in our hearts, joy that we celebrate in the services of praise and thtnkagiving for the fulfillment of the promise of eternal salvation, sealed to all mankind on that first great EaBter day and joy in the gladness of the reborn world in which the glory of the green things growing beats in the pulse of the universe. In spite of the unpropitions elements, the church going Revelstoke turned out in Urge numbers to the various places of worship where special Easter music and services had been arranged. As is customary at Easter the ladies usually don their new spring creatious in millinery and gowns, and the display this year would have been well up to tbe mark, had the weather so permitted it. The afternoon was bright and fine and a large number of residents turned out to take advantage of the sun. Easter is the most impoitant of all church festivals, and whatever beliefs and systems of philosophy may rise and fall, the religious belief of humanity must forever centre on the personality of Jesus Christ, hiB life and teaching. There have been many religions before the birth of Christ and many since, and there arc many today, but no other word since man first found or voice s comparable with that message conveyed in the life and death of Christ twenty centuries ago. His science and His philosophy are disputed and criticized, but no enemy can cavil at the purity and nobility of Hit Gospel of love and iieucc. Many have and do yet, deny the incarnation and atonement as parts of a devine plan and even the resurieclion as a historical fact Judged even by the standard of visible nssults the belief ill the Divinity nf Christ and his resurrection have more powerfully affected the history I f Ihe human race than the sum of all other events since creation It is conceded now by philosophers ol all schools, that not only the progress, but the survival of the race depends on tbe force nf tlie moral law. that the moral law derives its only sanction from belief in God, and that belief is founded ebielly, if not i i. t'u- teaching ol Christ. ST. PETER'S CHURCH Annual Vestry Meeting and Election of Officers. The annual Vestry tneetiug of St. Peter's church was held on Easter Monday, in the church. Mr. Cooper waB appointed lo act as clerk of the vestry. After the customary opening of the meeting, the Rev. C. A. Pro-1 cunier rep irted on the work of the year, urging that the congregation take BtepB to wipe off the rectory debt, as well as contribute more willingly towards the carrying on ot church work. He touched upon tlie necessity of the constant activity on the part ol the peoples warden in calling on all members ol the parish and in collecting the monthly subscriptions. He pointed out that the stipend was in areas, urging that the committee endeavor to collect as much as possible in order to have funds available. A resolution was passed whereby the Ladles Guild were asked to assist in the collection ol the urears of the subscribers. The rector appi'inIud E.W. B. Paget as his warden anil Mi.

A careful count of Ibecniwd showed trifle over If) per cent, of main NEW MARRIAGE REGULATIONS Father . Jan Explains Laws Governing Catholic Unions Rev. Father Jun at St. Mary's church recently made special reference to the new marriage regulations which go into effect at once in the Catholic church, says Mot.diy's Calgary Herald. Engagements after this date must be in writing Parties wishing to become engaged must sign tlie prenuptial contract, and have the bishop or their pastor witness it. In the absence of the bishop or priest, two witnesses must sign the engage, ment. If one or both uf those to be engaged cannot write, this should be noted and three lay witnesses must sign the engagement in the absence ol tbe priest or the bishop. Every bishop or administrator of a diocese can validly marry in bia own diocese any parties irrespective of the country or place whence they come. The bishop outside his diocese and the pastor outside his limits cannot marry their own or other subjects without due authorization. Marriages before a suspended or excommunicated priest or before a minister or civil magistrate whether both parties are baptized Catholics or not, are no marriages ut all. Marriage cf a Catholic to a non- baptized person is never a real marriage unless the church grants a dispensation. Sucii a marriage before a J. P. is iio marriage (or two reasons Marriage ol a Protestant (provided they never were baptized in the Catholic church) iB valid as a life-long contract. There will be no marriage at all unless there be two witnesses— one witness with the priest will not suffice—and the contracting parties should secure before hand their baptismal certificates. If for an entire month parlies cannot secure bishop, parish priestor any priest appointed hy either of these, they may in the presence ol two witnessi-sOhere is no marriage if there he not two witnesses) declare their consent to marry. 'I hey are then in the eyes of the Catholic ohurch married As soon after the marriage as possible they should send their names to the parish priest for registration ami do whatever is lequiieil to Conform lo the legal laws ul the country Kev Father lull laid special emphasis on the rule laid down that nixed marriages are not countenanced by the church, and the offspring are cntisiilerrd illegitimate. Wild Cat Mines. Hern is something pretty good which sppSSred in the last issue ol the Mining and Hniontilic Press: "Protests are made occasionally against attacks upon wild cats because forsooth, it is asserted that many a pio.pi i'i, which seemed a wild cat, has developed Into a spleodtd mini. The classification is mistaken. A young mine, no matter how young and un- promising, is DOt noccss.irily a wild cat, if it is an honest enterpri.e. It is a kitten. Let us distinguish between the domestic, useful, and well behaved pe'. und the fierce leline of the wilds.

Methodist High Tea The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist church held a very successful high tea on Monday evening in the church, and judging by the large crowds that surged round the table from 5 till 8 p. m., the good things provid d must have been highly appreciated. Tbe viands were choice and plentiful and all who attended testified to the excellence of tbe delicacies so temptingly and lavishly displayed. Vases of beautiful Easter flowers graced the tables while c indelabras, silver, glass and greenery made a charming pic turc. An excellent musical program was provided which greatly added to the enjoyment of the evening. The ladies of the Methodist church are to be congratulated on the excellence ol their culinary abilities and there were few win did not come away " (ull " o' praise for the admirable tea provided Fraternal Orders That luan, in the nature of things must have some place where he aod his fellows may congregate (or rocre ation and instruction, where toil aud business cares may be cast aside for an evening of pleasure and social di vertisement take their place, is a rec ngiiized fact. The lodge offers one of the best solutions of this question, as is evidence by the many orders that have sprung up in the country and in Revelstoke in particular, all ol which have in their rituals teachings that have lieen important factors in the educational and moral development ol the people. Harmony among man kind, male and female, should be cul tivated, and as lar as the limner are concerned the lodge cultivates this most necessary qualification in acorn muiiity. r Lumber conference Vanoouvkk, April 21.—Next Eriday a delegation ol the Coast Lumbermen's Association will attend the meeting ol the Mountain Mills asso ciaiion at Nelson to discuss pricis.
