VICTORIA TRAIL Completed—Ideal Excursion — Grand Scenery The trail up Victoria mountain north of the city bus heen completed and the route Irom the city to Grass Lake is available for tourists and sightseers. Tlie trail is an excellent piece of work and all those who are interested in such pastimes Bhould now hit the trail to the summit. The view fro u Grass Lake and adjacent points is superb and will well repay tbe climb. Tbe air is bracing and cool, flowers are blooming in abundance, while the humming birds in colors variegated and beautiful are flitting about as thick as bees. The ascent is gradual and easy and one would hardly realize that a rise of 6,000 feet has been made, or Ave miles in actual distance, so interesting and entrancing iB the view all along the route. Arrangements are being made whereby saddle and pack ponies can be hired for tbe trip. The summit consists of a grand park and is ideal for camping. Residents need go no further than Reveletoke fur a first rate trip such as thia. ALL SPEED TO WM. WHYTE The Toronto Globe on the C.P. R. Strike Situation Two days of the industrial battle between the C.P.R. company and its mechanical employees have now gone past, and nothing even tending towards a settlement has been heard of. On the contrary, there are sign* that other departments of the railway may be involved. The company is maintaining a strict silence. Can it he that tbe return from the coast of lhat master mind, William Whyte, Second Vice President, is being awaited by olticials in I he East before any action is agreed upoo? The attitude of his whole railway career has been one of conciliation and peace. He perhaps understands tne West and the company's western employees as oo other man. He is now speeding serosa tlie continent toward the centre of the trouble. According to a Vanoouver despatch yesterday, lie throws the onus of precipitating the trouble on the union. There were a couple of alarming reports regarding the general situation. An engine was ditched at Kenora and a fire started at North Bay. If two days is productive of-audi actions, what will the future be unless decisive and diplomatic steps arc taken for a settlement? SLUMP IN CEDAR Owing to Order Rescinding Export of Logs VANOODVEK, Aug. 11.—Owing to the order of the provincial government revoking the privilege of exporting logs, cedar has slumped $1.60 a thousand feet.

Cnlar logs which were selling at $7,50 per thousand feet at camps a short distance up tlie Coast will henceforth only fetch $(i, according to the statement of a log buyer thiB morning. At campa located far up the coast where former ruling prices were around $5.50 only $4 per thousand will be paid. In the latter inetrnce the cost of towage is $2. Government Btumpsgo 50 cents and 50 cents to yard the logs for the tugs, to which is added 50 ccnta tor insuring the risk, wbicli brings the total cost up to $7,50 per thousand feet in Vancouver harbor.

Canada at Head of Poll If the millions of visitors who pass through the turnstile.i at the Franco British exhibition could be induced on tlieir departure to name the section which, taken by itself, offered the greatest attracliuo aud interest, there is hut little doubt that the Canadian government's magnificent pavilion would st.mil easily at the head uf the poll —London Times.

SATURDAY, A.UGUST 12, 19.8 THE MONEY BY-LAWS Tbe lack of interest Bhown in civic afiairs by the property-owners of the City on Saturday last when the poll on tin* money by-laws wsb taken, cannot be viewed up otherwise than deplorable. Out of a total number ol 518 eligible to vote on the questions only 12!< took took the trouble to f_n to the pulls anil cast their ballot. This means that onlv one out of every live nf those entitled took advantage nf the opportunity. Viewed along other line., the situation shows th.it voters- ranging in numbers from 8_ tu 102 placed upon the 518 property owners nf tin- city incumbrances in the form of additions lo the city debt amounting to 98,800 W'lui, .in appeal to thu people on matter- of moment brings forth --.' b a very small showing nf interest it makes the referendum •AN:.!, .- I's-iiic -o strongly Insisted upon ail over tin- world, a- the 'irii'-er method of settling public question! to h* but little better than a larce in Hevelstoke.

Tbe citizens are apt to criticise the Council regarding their control of civic finances and record "kicks" against the manner In which the civic authorities move in ihe line of expenditures, But according tn Saturday's vole it would seem that the Council might noi bo ns justly blamed, for any negllgenoa as may after the situation disclosed nt the poll on mi Saturday night, ho rigidly laid at the door of the electorate. It is stated Hint the small vote was only such ns might have been expected since the mutters presented were only "money by-laws." Why should tho electorate manifest loss interest in money by-law votes than tin municipal and other olectiotiH.

Revelstoke General Agencies, Ltd. Molsons Bank Building. mayor anil aldermen are chosen to carry out the will of the people and on financial items of moment the city charter expressly limits their power to an appeal to the people. No council can legally K" to an extreme in financial matters without a vote of the people, hence it, is judged that in the long run the vote on money by-laws is even nf more moment than the selection of civic officials. The civic expenditures of Hevelstoke, upon the basis of which the tax rate is struck are largely made up of payments on interest and sinking fund nn the city's indebtedness. Through the polls on money by-laws tbe electorate has indirectly a voice in the declaration of the civic tax rale since the VOle nil money by-laws exercises a direct influence nn the number of mills struck. The apathy uf the people in not recording their vote either way, on such important matters as these is deplorable and the degree of negligence to wbicli the electorate has now attained certainly marks a point of lack of interest which does not bode well for the host control of civic affairs. It is now too late to complain; the by-laws are for the benelit of the oity and her progress, and neglect to express an opinion either way at the pull is nut a ~ign that good citizens admire or care tn put up with.

STRIKE Situation Unchanged -Japs Refuse Employment VakoodVEH, Aug. 11.—The Vancouver men who are on strike received word this morning that tlio Japanese which the C.P.R. had endeavored to put lo work on the prairies in the place of strikers had refused to take the positions ottered when they were made acquainted with the trouble between the company and its men. It was given out by the press committee that a number of men offered employment in the shops had refused to accept it when acquainted with lhe fact of the strike by the union pickets It is stated by the strikers that of the men employed by the company tn take their phiees only about one in 20 is skilled, with the result that cars are accumulating in the yards already, though the stiike is only live days old. The Vancouver men have received ollicial circulars from the company informing that their back wages are now ready for them. So far none of the men have .availed themselves of the opportunity to draw their money and do nut intend to do eo till Aug. 15. Ou that day $1,600,000 will be drawn by the strikers. Arrivals from the Atlantic coast state that for two days after Btarting out on tlieir journey they could not get a drop of water on the train, tbe men regularly employed in filling the drinking water tanks being on strike and there being nobouy to replace them. Tbe Japanese employed by the company icing cars at Kamloops in place of strikers all quit work last Satuiday. Some persons passing tlnough the yards culled them "scabs" which so incenBed the Japanese^ tbat. they overturned their truck load of ice on the spot, grabbed ttheir coats and disappeared. Sonic ten u eu picked up in Vancouver last week by agents of ihe company were taken to Nelson on Satuiday to work in the shops at that point. It is reported that there are li ve engines at Calgary wbicli are not in condition to be taken out on the road, but the power on tbe Pacific division is reported to be in good condition. From Vancouver rast ward dozeiiB of operatives of private detective agencies aie scattered aroiu.d division points. They are engaged in guarding strike breakers and picking up what in for niation they can relative to strike conditions. Montbeal, Aug. 11.—Outside of a denial by the O.P.K. otliciuls that 200 additional workers joined the strikers on Saturday, the strike ciluatioii remains practically unchanged. Notice was put up tbis morning in tho Angus shops that (unly skilled mechanics would be employed as unskilled workers had failed. Tbe Canadian Pacitic railway have not imported any men to replace the stiiking machinists and has no intention nf doing SO, itate. Mr. William Whyte, the second vice-president of the company. "Uudor no circumstances will we conuivo at or countenance any violation of lhe alien labor act. The Canadian Pacific iB a law- abiding oorp ration. Of course there aro many thousands of skilled unemployed machinist! in the United States. II these people voluntarily Obnoie to oome to Canada in search of work that is their own affair." ORDER RESCINDED No More Logs to be Exported From B. C. The government has rescinded tin Oidi rincouncil of March 18th which piirinitted the export of logs to the United States. It is estimated that between eight and ton million feet, practically all cedar, was marketed on Puget Sound since the order wiih put into effect. The original action of the government it is oxplained hy members of the ministry was lor the purpose of preventing the destruction of timber by teredoes which Um lumbermen asserted was taking place owing to the demand in the province having fallen off. Opportunity !ms been given to overcome thiB difficulty now and the law will again be enfmced uriiinst export of logi to tbo United Statin. WESTMINSTER V.

All' BY LAWS CARRIED 58,300 Voted for New Fire Alarm System and Parks Voting on the two money bylaws on Saturday, namely for the raising of $5,000 by debentures for tbe improvement of city parks, and also of if!I,!!00 for the purchase and installation of a new and up-to-date lire alarm system, was slow and apathetic. The apathy of Ihe electors can be either put down to the heal, lorgetfuliiess or sheer in- dilierence, but whatever it was the majority of citizens failed to appear at the polls and some ol those who came turned up with the idea that the matter was of little importance. Even a new lire alarm system, an improvement which the city rightly deserves, was imt HUllicient to cause more enthusiasm. I n spite of the indifference of the public at the polls, the progressive citizens bud suflicieiit energy to roll up and by a narrow margin puss both bylaws. Out of the total number ol eligible voteB, namely 518, a very .mall percentage recorded tlieir votes, but yet Buflioient to turu tbe scale according to tho law, The following is the result of Satiu- day's polling: Park Improvement Bylaw fur the raising of $5,100.
