CRICK First Street Opposite Windsor Hotel INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES Local Company Resumes Operations in Brick Manufacture Finest Clay Discoverable Will be Used. Among Hie arrivals in the city on Monday night wns Mr. E. A. Kitson a master brickiuuker who bus been employed by C. B, Hume A Co. to take charge of the operations ot the brick making plant ol that company on the Tuo) water river adjacent to the city. Tbe demand for bricks as building material bas so increased in the Interior that the company which desisted bum brickinaking a few years ago bas determined to resume business and it has consequently obtained the services of one of the best men that could be secured to direct ils work. Mr. Kitson is a brickmaker from "way-back" and takes a pride in the fact that he has been in thai business for many years. Most recently be is from Calgary and Okotoks and at tbe latter place had charge ol a manufactory wbicb turned out material creditable to both the company aud the manager concerned. In Kevelstoke Mr. Kitson's held ot operation will have a couple of distinct advantages-, The II.st of tliese will be the quality tif clay which be will bave to handle in the manufacture of the article which he will place upon the market. This quality, according to the testimouy of experts and those qualiiied to give conclusive evidence upon 6uch a technical question, is of the best. An assay of the clay from the claim of the company recently reported to be made by the Dominion geological stall' appraises the clay as being superior to that of nny that can be found in the Dominion ul Canada. Its qtialilication for incorporation into brick substances is of the lirst order and the company intends to make the best chance of its find. Work ou the new industry will be commenced at once aod from lifteen to twenty men will be employed. The capacity of the mill is at present 12,000 daily but this will be increased with the prospective immediate demand for a futuie output. The addition of the industry to the immediate vicinity of Bevelstoke is one of the many indications of the building prosperity of the city. BY-LAW RECOMMENDATIONS City Council Will Ask for Nine Thousand Dollars The recommendation ol the Public Works committee ol the Cily Oounoi at the regular meeting held last Friday night submitted a proposal for the placing ol a by law belore the ratepayers to expend the sum of $U,000 iu the purchase of machinery f r the improvement of the streets iu the city.

It is understood that the margin in the case of each estimate in the above schedule is sullicient for a line of safety, actual figures in some of the instances being impossible to obtain. These will be obtained belore the by-Isw b submitted and the fullest information given tut be public. The Best Yet. The luu loving people ol Kevelstoke will be more than delighted with the "oniedy to be presented by the local amateur dramatic club on the evening ol Victoria Day, May 21th, at the opera house. "All the Comforts of Home," is a cleverly written comedy uf quick action and dialogue, abounding in funny situations, and is one continual laugh from start to finish. The cast is a strong one and more than ordinary attention has been given to tbe rehearsin 1 and staging ol this production. After the performance a social dance will be held, forming a fitting wind-up to the holiday. Tbe entertainment being in aid of the hospital should guarantee a bumper house, and will doubtless prove one of the most successful ever given in the city. Athletics The Y.M.C.A. management is going to bave a good day ol sport here on the 2-1 tli. lt was feared for some time that the five mile race would bring out no contestants ss none of our local men wish to tackle Palmer in any race under a mile. However this morning's mail brought an entry from Mr. Haycock, of Malakwa, who will make Charlie go all the way. Haycock is a young runner who is improving in every race and this contest should be a good oue. A lull entry will lie published in Saturday's issue uf this paper and also all details ol the tlsy'i sport.

MUCH MONEY DRIFTS WEST Effect of New British Budget ' Drives Capital to Colonies- Millions for British Columbia Investments.

As an indication of the conlldetice which tho business men ol tho oity have in the future of Rovelstoke and surrounding distriot, it was stated yesterday by Mr. C. ti. Humo of tbe linn of C. ti. Humo & Co., to a representative nl the M aii -111:11 a i.ii that it is tbe iutcntiou of that company to enlarge the business premises occupied by them within the near future. Details ol tbe enlargement will bo submitted, with plans and specifications at a meeting of the directors to bo held to-day. Tbe plans for enlargement involve a proposal to rear another storey, adding to the two storeys already dignifying tbe present structure on the coruer of McKenzie avenue and First street. Whether this propoBiil i» carried out or not, one of the features proposed and which will iu any case be a part ol the plans of the Improvement will be the installation of a passenger elevator for the accommodation of the patrons of the store. Whether the budding iH made a three-storey structure or remaining as it is, the customers will no longer have to place one foot before another in raieing to an. elevation in their search tor the kind ol goods they desire, lt will be a simple case of step on board to go upstairs. The firm of C. ti. Hume & Co. is one of the oldest in Revelstoke and is known in the whole district as one whose business judgment is not calculated to mislead and its determination to extend the present premises is nn assurance of the stnbslity of business conditions iii the city as well as asBiir- atice ot a reasonably good outluclr. lor the future.

If thu line is built from Edmonton at all it will be into Peace Kiver Valley, where rich natural resources would give immediate re turns.

SEISMIC ECHOES Prairie Provinces Experience Earthquake Shocks Telegrams of Monday state that earthquake shocks varying in intensity were felt all through the Canadian prairie west at, about 10:20, central time, on Saturday evening, in most places rattling dishes, banging doors and shaking windows, told all of the tale wbile win several places people were driven out ol doors. The shock was very light in Winnipeg but wns distinctly felt at Selkirk, near Lake Winnipeg, aud Irom there the disturbance was noted at scattertd points lor a thousand miles west aeross the prairie. Shocks appear to have been moBt severe in the heavy "Ouinbo" country ol Saskatchewan, along the main line uf the Canadian Pacific, bul they were felt as far north as Prince Albert. It is the liret time in known history that earthquake shocks have visited the Ked Kiver or Saskatchewan valleys, and Prolcssor Frank Allen Ph. D., of Manitoba university, said Saturday night that tbey might never recur. He attributes the disturbance to a wave or echo ol serious earthquakes in Southern America ur the Central Pacilic, and holds that the vibration thus caueetl has followed the chord of a circle, coming out in the Canadian prairie.

Such as involve the confidence of an immediate circle of business associates ure important us far as they go and widen according to lhe number of persons entrusting a business confidence or a private enterprise to the management of an individual holding tne trust. Heads of corporations and institutions handling large sums placed in their trust ior business purposes hold responsible positions and when found unfaithful to the obligations oi the trust reposed iu tbem are amenable under the laws of the land to justice. That trust is therefore, greatest which includes in its purview the Imsiness of the people of a nation as a whole. Thus heads of governments elected to administer the affairs of a nation hold, from the people, the most sacred trust imaginable. A trust which involves the handling of the peoples' money i.- scarcely less sacred than one involving the social and moral welfare of a natiou. in the light oi these reflections we think the federal administration is indictable at the bar of public opinion and that the evidences of ils infidelity arc too numerous to he overlooked or condoned. While it is perhape too much to expect of any party government that it shall not find means of replenishing it.- campaign and party Hinds the manner in which this is done is one oi often serious consequences to lhe public and betrays i. contemptuous disregard of common honesty. Just now the opposition al Ottawa is busy endeavoring to implicate one of the ministers in transactions unworthy "i a public man. charge- brought against Hon. Wm.

The prices were advanced to cover the deal and the people's money filched to enrich departmental harpies or replenish the party funds. Large defalcations are to be deplored hut a sufficient number of smaller ones and tbe comparative ease with which Ihey may be manoeuvred makes serious inroads on the public funds. "Take us the foxes—the little foxes that spoil tbe vines" was the Hebrew prophets warning to the nation of his day and its applicability to the present times may be surmised. How to reach these corruptionists that are fattening on the stolen money of the taxpayers while the government stilles investigation is tbe problem of the Canadian people. Tolerance of any party or government or political polity which permits the persistent and brazen looting of the treasury is too much to ask A, even a prospering people. The mere dissemination of tlie tacts mu.-l awaken a recoil in tiie mind or the voter with its subsequent vengeance when the time comes lo take action.

Will Feature Moral Exhibit Seattle, May 19.—Probably the most notable characteristic of the Pay streak of the Alaska-Yukon-l'acific Exposition is the unusual number of "shows" having high educational value. As a usual thing the amusement way of an exposition is all straight luu, eome of it at times of questionable character, but at Seattle it is a different proposition. Absolute cleanliness has been insisted upon and the directors have accepted attraction ol only tbe highest class. At tbe St. Louis Exposition the "Battle of the Monitor aud the Merrimack," took the gold medal for excellence over all other amusement features exhibited on the Pike. It was more intensely interesting, of a higher educational value and more ingenious from a mechanical standpoint than any other show. It iB produced with the Batne care on the Pay Streak and Emmet McConnell, probabiy the best known showman in America, tbe owner of the attraction is personally supervising installation which will cost $210,000. The battle is a famous reproduction of the I'aiiioiis civil war action which atived the Union at one of the. most critical juuetures. Not only are the two war boats seen iu action, but every move and every cannon-shot is historically correct. Kevelstoke Land Dislricl, Distriel of West Koolenny.

The matter should be given a most searching inquiry in the interests of society, it is no doubt a difficult task on account of the manner in which the evidence iif the principal witness waB given, but I feel as a juror tbat our verdict was not nearly strong enough, I do not know wbat the medical report will be, hui I teel ibat if sane she i. a dangerous girl.

Attorney-General Foy says Crown investigation ol tbe Kinrade murjter will continue: " The case will not he dropped until it is solved. The mills of justice may seem fora time to grind slow, but in the view of the department a slow course is assure course iu this unusual and unfortunate case." Mr. Foy says he never beard before that the Kinrade jury had a name drawn up in their verdict, and that they had returned an open verdict in order not to interfere with the plaiiB ol tbe Crown. BIG MONEY IN MINES Rossland Diggings and Trail Smelter Coin Wealth The Canadian Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company treated ore at its Trail smelter during the lirst quarter this year, yielding values of $1,117- 00G; the refinery produced 4,445 tons of pig lend aud in addition to shipments to Eastern Canada, China aud Japan, the company has shipped during April 250 tons to Australia.- which is a record shipment of Canadian lead to that country.

Early Summary Made By Winnipeg Free Press I The Manitoba Free Press has iust issued iis first monthly report on seeding conditions, thus currying out the tradition it established in the early days of the Red Kiver settlement tnd as its conclusions have had un- usuil luck iu hitting tbe bullseyi more often than not so lar ub Westeri Caniuliin crop ojnditioiie are con orned,considerable value attaches to this summary uf actual conditions. In its preface, this well-known Western Canadian journal explains the rather unusually early date of issuing this report by saying that it wis in order tn satisfy the known anxiety in business circles as to the extent to wbicli feeding bus been delayed by cold and unfavorable weather. The net, result ol the replies ol the B'tveral hundred correspondents communicated with, is that Irom 80 to 00 per ceut of Western Canadian spring wheat is in the ground, but very little ol it shows above the surface, owing to the inclement condition which have accompanied actual seeding operations. However, the bright summer weather of the paat few days has been ideal to rush along germination, Tbe report goea ou to state that the lateness in the growth is fully offset by the conditions of the seedbed, whioh are ideal. There has been plenty of muisture all over tbe country and the prime requisite now is warm weather and plenty of it. Wheat seeding is fully two weeks later than in 11108, bul from live to ten days earlier than in 1!)07, and grain has gone iu under more favorable circumstances than iu either ol tbe years mentioned. Perhaps the most striking feature of the report, a* it is tbe one that iB bound to meet the most hostile criticism, is that there is no increase fu the acreage of laud Beeded to spring wheat in the Canadian prairie west. No doubt good grounds exist for that contention, but, on the other hand, bearing in mind the largo new acreage brought under the plow for the first time, as well as the incentive to sow wheat, neglectful ol all other cereals by reason of its abnormally high price, there must be 11 miscalculation Bomewhere. Tbis report alludes to the greater acreage seeded to coarse grains and oats, but tbeiein lies the explanation 01 the unquestioned large increase iu acreage under cultivation, and there seems little reason to doubt that wheat seeded will Bhow at least ten per cent iucreuae over last year.

CORRESPONDENCE. That Cement Contract Ktiitur Mail-Hub itoi Sin,— Haviug directed the attention ol the Cily Council to the actual facts of the case, we had not intended taking any fur. ber action at tbe present time, but the statement in de by the Mayor ut the lust council meeting us to the saving effected by dealing out ol tbe city, is au misleading, anil ao obviously deceptive to the ratepayers that we are constrained to again take the matter up. The undersigned made a (| notation to the city Ior cement upon a basis of live or ten cars at $2.00 per barrel F.O.B. Itevol- atoko. Latei, a quotation was obtained from Vancouver ut lf2.H0 per barrel, and the quantity required waa apparently increased tu not leas than fifteen cars. Tho maximum car load ul cement is one hundred and eighty barrels per car. Taking tho larger quantity ol fifteen cars as a basis, the total order would be tweiity-sevon hundred barrels or a difference in price ol $270, yet to quote trom ynur report ol the Council proceedings, the saving is staled at more than .$1000 Your report is as follows: "Besides, snid His Worship, we have Biived the city between $1000 and $1200, and that is BUllie.ient business argument for anybody." The city latherB have every right to buy tlieir supplies Irom Vancouver, or the niorchiints ol any other outside city il they wish to do so, but, in extenuation wc will not allow audi a grose and apparently deliberate miB statement as thut above relerred to, to be used.

Sume of the richest gold-bearing quartz ore ever seen in the province was discovered on Poplar creek a few years ago and it resulted in a big rush uf prospectors. The strikes were not maintained and alter the fiasco ol the overcapitalized and badly managed Lucky Jack, the country received a set-back from which it is only juat recovering. A property known aa the Mobbs group, on Rapid creek, in the Lardeau, is making eome excellent sbowiuga as the result of extensive develu, ment work by its owners, a syndicate ol Boston men. The fissure leads are strung in free gold, while lhe formation is of gold-bearing quartz and galena. One vein is three leet in width antl a second averages two feet. A galena veiu al a depth of 170 feet shown values of $1.(10 gold, li.'i oiineea silver and a high percentage ol lead. A Stamp mill ill large capacity will be installed shortly.
