SUPREME COURT Light Docket at the Revelstoke Spring Assizes The spring assizes were held at the court house on the 11th inst., Mr. Justice Irving presiding. There was only one criminal case on the docket that of Rex versus McKay. The defendant was charged with burglary in November 1906, and was tried at the last assizes when the jury disagreed. The evidence was all taken down in writing and shewn to the accused who claimed to be deaf and dumb. The accused bad not spoken all the time be was in the Kamloops gaol awaiting trial, except on one occasion when, as Dr. linrris of Kamloops stated in the witness box, that the prisoner had uttered several oathe when going under Ibe inlluence of the anaesthetic. The judge then aeketl if it were possible for a deaf mute to speak while under any exciting influences or an anaesthetic. Dr. Burris affirmed that it wae possible. The jury acquitted the accused, recommending tbat he be placed iu some institution where hi* physical condition could be looked after. Theo J. Wadnian was foreman of the jury. J. M. Scott appeared for the Crown. Lund v. Lund.—This case was a petitiou for a declaration of nullity of marriage. Decree grunted. .1. M Scott appeared for tbe petitioner. Wharton v. Wharton.—Petitiou lor divorce on the ground of adultery. The Judge held that the corroborative evidence was not sutlicient. J. M. Scott appeared lor the petitioner. A rather amusing incident occurred when Peter Rasmus Peterson appeared before the tribunal seeking justice and asked permission to address the court which was graciously granted. Mr. Peterson "wanted to know if when I am taking a horse to tbe pound I can be intercepted on the public highway and have that horse taken Irom me?" The Judge wished to know whether it was Mr, Peterson's horse or the other fellow's, when he wss told it wss the other lellow's The judge suggested tbat as h: was only there to try cases aud not to give opinions that Mr. Peterson had better consult a lawyer, whereupon Mr. Peterson assured the court with finality tbat it was no use consulting any lawyers in this town, tbat it wm justice be wm after. Realistic Pictures Pittsburg, Pa., May 12.—With a roar that would bave done credit to a Comanche, J. H.

The ball was crowded witb women und children and a panic was narrowly averted. The pictures wero so realistBc, the melodrama so thrilling, it is said, tbat the audience bad frequently broken into applause, an unusual thing ut a moving picture bIiow. Tbe realism so all'ccted tbe policeman us he saw the heroine in the bauds of the outlaws that he sprang to his feet, drew a revolver from his pocket and bang, hang, bang, blazed away at the girl's oppressors. Children shrieked, women faint- ed, and men paled, A fellow policeman quieted the otiicer and placed him under arrest. ANOTHER HOLD-UP A Great Northern Railway Train Robbed.— Express Messenger Knocked Senseless and $10,000 of uash Rifled. Seattle, May 12,—,1, E. Perrine, express messenger on the Great Northern train which left Seattle at 8:10 this morning for Vancouver was beaten into insensibility by men who entered tbe express car, presumably in Seattle. The messenger did not recover consciousness until after the train was bscked to Ballard, five miles out. where the injured man was given medical attention. Perrine was leaning over a pile of parcels which had tumbled into a heap when be was attacked from behind by two men in the uniform of brakesmen. Turning to grapple with his assailants be was struck a crushing blow by bis own revolver, which nad been grabbed by one of tbe bandits. He was knocked senseless and did not recover from his dszed condition until the train had passed Balland. Crawling to the signal cord he stopped the train1 and the conductor went forward to find wbat was tbe matter The latter found Perrine in a pool of blood and the floor of the express car littered with packages which had been ransacked by the robbers. The train was then backed into Balland and the injured messenger given medical attention. The robbers looted the express car of all that was valuable, breaking open the strong box and taking all tbe cash that was inside. According to express company officials this sum was not more than $1,500, but another estimate places tbe amount of the booty at nearly .10,000. The train left Seattle at 8:10 this morning and was crowded with passengers wbo did not know anything of the occurrence until the train backed into Seattle. It is supposed that the robbers had confederates on the train keeping watch on the conductor and train crew. The enr was n combination mail and exprosB car, but according to the U. S. postal authorities only one of the registered mail sacks was tnken. Bill Miner Not the Man Totem Pole Suiiare, Seattle.— Having hud it pointed out to me that there iB a suspicion that I had something to do witb tbe bungling holdup on the train between here and your city I wish you to state tbat I bud nothing to do with it.

Railroads of Western Canada nre consuming vnst quantities of material nt present. C. !•'.. Ussbor, assistant passenger traffic manager of the C.P Ii. Winnipeg, estimates the annual expenditure on ties, etc., nt about fifty million dollars. Mr. Ussber states thnt in the construction of new track and for renewals, the steam and street railways used, in 1906, over one hundred million cross-ties. The average price paid was 48 cents per tie. Approximately three-fourths of the tiea were hewed, and one-fourth sawed. Oak, the chief wood used for ties, furnished more than 14 per cent., nearly one-half of the whole number, while the southern pines, which rank second,contribute about one-sixth. Douglss fir and cedar, the next two, with approximately equal quantities, supply less than one fifteenth apiece. Chestnut, cypress, western pine, tarn- arac, hemlock and redwood are all of importance, but no one ol them furnishes more than a small proportion. Oak ai.d southern pine Btand highest in both total and average value; the average value of each is 61 cents. Chestnut ranks next, followed by cedar. Hemlock, at 28 cents, iB the cheapest tie reported. More than three-fourths of all ties are hewed; and with every wood from wbicb ties are made, except Douglas fir and western pine, the number of hewed ties is greater than the number sawed. About ten times as many Douglas fir ties are sawed aB are hewed. Of the oak ties a little over one-sixth, and of the southern pine ties, less than one-third are sawed. In contrast to the southern pines is the western pine, of whioh more than one-half ties are sawed. In general, when lumber has a relatively low value, tbe proportion of sawed ties increases, because the' market lor ties is always aotive, while that for lumber- is frequently sluggish. All western species are effected by tbis condition, for Btumpage is abundant and its value relatively low. Ten per cent of the ties purchased were treated with preservatives either before they were purchased or at the treating plant ol the railroad company. At least ten railroad companies, are operating tbeir own plants for the preservation of their construction material! Of tbe many forms in which wood is used, ties are fourth in cost, sawed lumber being lirst, firewood second, and shingles and laths third. It has been calculated that the amount of wood used each year in ties is equivalent to the product of 600,000 acres of forest and that to maintain every tie in tbe track, two trees must be growing. With nearly 860,000 miles of railroad truckage, and approximately 2,800 ties to the mile, there nre over 800,000,000 ties constantly subject to wear nnd decay. The railroads leport thnt iu the foi in ul ties, cedar lasts eleven years, cypress ten years, and redwood nine years. Their woods, however, luck the desired weight uud hardness, uud, what is more important, I bey nre not available iu tbe region of the trunk linos of the central und eastern slates. When il is considered then, that the service ol the longest lived tie timbers in general use—chestnut, white 011k, iiliuin nis, spruce nnil Douglas fir—is but seven years, while with some, us the lilack ouks, it is hut four years, wheruns a treated tic with equipment to lessen wear will lust fifteen yours, it is apparent bow much the railroads can save if preservative treatment of ties is universally adopted. The saving in the drain upon tbo forests is of even greater niome Tore Down Wrong Bridge Grand Forks, 11. 0,, May 12:— After securing permission from tlie city of Grand Porks to destroy the north pier, at the old Kirst street bridge, the Yale Columbia Lumber company put men to wink, and when the job wus finished it was ascertained that they hsd destroyed the wrong pier, being tbe south pier, and not tbe one intended to have been removed. The workman who removed the wrong pier ssys that he received orders Irom some of tho aldermen to do the work. By the removal of the wrong pier, damage to the extent of $35000 was done, and tbe prospect for a new I bridge at the foot of First street is delayed. .Say' _3c voir V/AX.X &*£cs_^§ DID YOU GET WHAT YOU' WANTED, AND OF THE RIGHT KIND?

Such persons arc dangerous to the community and are not lo be trusted. A disparaging mind is a limited nutty, unhealthy mind, lt Oan neither see nor acknowledge good in others. It is a jealous mind, it is positively painful to it to hear others spoken well of, praised or commended for any virtue or good point. If it cannot deny the existence of the alleged good it will seek to miniiiize it by a malicious "if" or "but", or try in some other way to throw a doubt on the character of the person praised. Complaint should be favored by suggestion. It is better to hint an improvement than merely rail at an evil. Before condemning a man, his method or his work, it is good to be prepared to show how either may be enhanced. Inefficiency is not always a sign of ignorance, apathy or carelessness nor does it necessarily betray the absence ol any desire to do better. There are few really unmitiga ted evils. The smaller communities have a harder task to run smoothly than the larger, and this fact should be remembered, that when intercourse and relationship in ordinary business life are so closely interwoven with the majority of those units which go to make up the whole, it is not beholden to anyone to caBt aspersions on his neighbor and otherwise disturb tho public harmony. of themselves of late, as compared with other folk whose appetites arc so voracious as to outlaw all such scruples. Is there not just a grain of growing prejudice in favor of money that is earned, as compared with money that is got by stealth and dexterity? Really it looks as though wo might sec a bull market for character, We have had bull markets for pretty much everything else with a good deal of subsequent deterioration in values. If anyone is long of righteousness and has been acquiring lines of moderation and clean living and honest industry, we earnestly counsel bim to retain his holdings, for it really looks us though tbe market for such things might be considerably strong.

This haa been a late spring in British Columbia as well as thru'- out the Dominion as a whole but this slowness is a blessing in disguise as in a late spring there is always less danger of an ill-timed trust nipping the buds. Everything points to a bumper for the fruit growers of British Columbia and people have shown their appreciation of the fuel by setting to work in real earnest to get their orchards into shape this year. Never before has there been so much energy put into the work of spring cleaning. Throughout the whole interior farmers are busy in their orchards, pruning, spraying and getting things into shape, iu present position, but redouble our Revelstoke has not been behind in energies ami benevolence to support this respect, which shows that our such an institution. Portage has not fruitgrowers have confidence in a Y. M. C. A. or any such acoommodii CORRESPONDENCE. Eililur Miii.-IIi'.kai.I), Dear Sir, I am glail tu be amongst the citizens of Kevelstoke again, niter nearly a months absence on our journey along the C. P. R. to Winnipeg. 1 hope Mr. Editor that you will lind a little free space in your paper to ptint my impressions of towns in the east in comparison with our Revelstoke. Winnipeg, with its large population, all possible in twentieth century luxury aud inventions, amusements and comforts, bas a very sore point— and that is tbe unemployed question, The streets are crowded with men ol all nationalities seeking work. One feels much better in small Revelstoke. even with its un paved streets, without street cars anil cabs, etc. Tbe weather I experienced while tbere wss too cold and windy lor one living close to tlie Pacific coasi aud under tbe protection of such boon companions aa Mt. begbie kihI Alt. McKenzie. But the Manitohati*, informed me that in July it will be nice and warm. The scenery along the line from here to Banff, with Glacier, Mt. Stephen, Laggan and other points, makes us forget our daily depressions and worries und often hardships. Tbe laat Sunday of my holidays I enjoyed in Portage la Prairie, and walking around the streetB, I compared tbis town with Revelstoke, and decided to write this letter. Portage In Pniirie is an up to-dste town of near'y seven thousand popu ation and a very Important railway centre witb tbe C. P. R., C. N. R , Great Northern and G. T. P. depots, from where fifteen passenger trains are daily carrying travellers to all pirta of tbe Dominion and into the United States. But for all that I am glad to be a citizen of Revelstoke. Our Y. M. C. A. with its advantages helps to broaden cur minds enlarge out ideas snd tendencies, and In connection with tbe annual meeting of the Methodist churches of the West Kouteniiy district, which was in session ut Nelson lust neck, tbn following very Important resolution was, by unanimous vote, sent on to the annual conference, which meets in Vancouver next week: "That having regard to social and political conditions, wo believe there is a great need tor a very emphatic statement concerning iho relations uf the Methodist church and the people the chinch represents to these great am! fundamental iiuestiuiiB. (a) In relation to politicial life and OOllditions, we believe the laxness anil indifference of the majority of Christian people to the great political issues is most serious. It is a question whether the responsibility lor much of the political corruption may nut le placed upon t Inii-c wbo seem must to deplore their existence, because of their failure to bring to bear upon tlie political rep rcseiitatives the inlluence of their personal interest and activity. (h) In relation to ancial questions we believe that verv much of the social unrest that prevails today is alien to the church of GjiI and is serious in its tendencies- Further, that social and economic movements arc largely out of sympathy with tbe church's activities. We believe that much of this might be corrected, would-'the church at large and Christian people in general take a more active and intelligent interest in these questions. Therefore, be it resolved. That the conference be requested to issue a circular to onr congregations, over the signature of its officials, urging our people to actively interest tbemselveB in the politics of the Country; emphasizing lhe sacredness of the ballot; tbe constant need of giving to the representatives tbeir active support without reference to party; urging active participation iu the great issues of the observance of tbo Sabbith; local option: advising our people to carefully study the questions of the issues involved in the great social und economic movements.

In a recent issue we called the attention of tlie intelligent public to the advisability of pushing the clock on one hour, and thereby giving a lunger evening to those who under the present system bave little or no time to devote to recreation and to various pastimes and to do any work that may be required to lie dune on tbeir premises. We are now spending the best hours of the day in bed or else waiting iur the day's work to begin, when we could very well and to better advantage rire one hour earlier and have the hour put on to our leisure time after mir regular day's work is done, and put this period Ol time to a more profitable use than in passing it King in bed. We (eel that the majority of right thinking people would welcome the change, which would lie especially applicable to those who spend all day in stores and offices, and to whom a longer evening would be a boon. It seems a hard and difficult matter to try and instil any new idea or change into the Revelstoke public who are content to ramble along in the same old groove, without going out of their way to bring about any reforms that may be of direct or indirect benefit to the community at large. Although we as citizens generally really do profess a progressive policy aB regards our city, yet we rarely put our theories into practice, and invariably let tbe matter dwindle away and die a natural death, sooner than go out of our way to effect the change. If only our people would get together in the true sense of the word and honestly their crops or tbey would not be going to such expense and trouble And not only does it promise well for the crop but that the market also shows signs of being better than usual. The fruit crop of the province will be handled tbis year to the best advantage by tbe Fruit A Produce Exchange which is now in direct touch with all the leading fruit producing sections ol B.C. and has the confidence of practically the whole of tbe shippers and growers. Tbere bus alwa;j been a strong demand for Ii. C. iruit, but it Beams that the demand is now stronger 'ban ever. This means, of Bourse, a new impetus to the industry of the Interior which bas now assumed large proportions although there IS always riintii for improvement We on our part have the utmost confidence in our own particular district as lo its future success as u fruitgrowing centre. ti.sti open for tbe benefit of the public 1 am afraid Mr. Editor '.hat I shall be taking up to much space in your piper, therefore I conclude with beet wishes to tbe success of tbe town and the Mail-Hebald.

A CHARACTER MARKET lt would be nonsense of course to tnlk about not wanting money, for wc all do want a certain amount of it to pay onr bills. The desirable amount is not small either, for current bills tend to be high. If there is a reaction and some obange for the better it may be traceable to the circumNtanci' that, the value of dollars has been cheapened relatively tosoino other valuable things. Is not character looking up a little these dayH as compared with apparent affluence ? Do not folks who can afford to be a little squeamish about how they make tbeir liviriKe, and about the degree ol extortion lhat they practice, arid tbe size and (ironineflH of their Imposition on the community, think rather better . **%'%^%^%'%/V%'*_/*«,'%/%-V^%^%^%/%'%^'%'%^VV%' 1 PLAI E '', Ol R ORDERS WITH S.

A grievance the lumbermen general Iy express is as regards the title to provincial timber licenses. As these sliinil they are valueless for purposej uf financial securities. Asked as to the remedy required, several loading lumbermen expressed the opinion that it the btuniptige were made a fixed quantity aid the licenses renewable us lung ns ibe holder paid the annual licutiiic fee, with say thirty days giace iu which lo renew each year, this dillloulty would ho surmounted and tbe lumber industry placed on u much more slahle footing.

The mines are developing well. One thousand coke ovens are under constitiction to provide fuel for the smelters. Tbe Great Northern Railway have built between Kalispel and Fertile on an even up grade to the mines one of tbe llncst road beds on the continent and it is a sight to behold the great trains of Irom GO to 100 cars of coal and coke which this system daily hauls down the grade. The formation of the extension of the system to Michel bas been completed and tbis road will soon be opened. It is said to be the company's intention to extend tbe road to Calgary and give that city its lirst competing Ifne. The lumber business is active in the south. Witb three or four minor exceptions all tbe mills are running aud the Ottawa, out from Slocan City, has developed a huge body of ce at depth and the Arlington, its near neighbour, is a steady shipper.

So high an authority on lumbering as Otis Staples, of WyclilVe, told Mr. Haggen be was saUslied the logging railway would in the end prove the most economical means of handling logs between the bush and tlie mills. Al must of tbe n ills the stocks are low, t bough there are (unr or live yards that carry between ten million and sinn of the C. P. R. Marysville branch up the St. Mary's Valley through tbe low pass there to and around the bend of the lake to connect with the Lardeau Railway. With tbe construction of tbe remaining link between (ler- rard and Arrowhead, it is pointed out passengers oould be landed from Crow'e Nest points to the main line at Revelstoke in one day, und thus bring the trallic direct through British Columbia instead of driving in Btiutb over the Great Northern as is done to a largo extent by Ihe present circuitous route.

"Pink Dominoes" The Revelstoke theatre going public will bo trea ed with something particularly interesting and amusing in the way of high c'ass comedy on Monday, May 25th, the Victoria Day holi day. The amateur dramatic club have always been noted for the excellence of their choice of plays and also for the style of productions which have invariably pleased their patrons and the people at large. The amateurs have much pleasure in staging on this occasion the celebrated high class comedy "Pink DominoeB," a play bristling with humor, and full of comical situations. Tho piece is bright and breezy and keeps the attention of the audience on the thread of the story from beginning to end. The club hag consented to produce the play as a benefit for the Y.M.C.A, and the public will now he afforded an opportunity of winding up their holiday by witnessing as clever a comedy as has been put on in Revelstoke. The patronage of the public is particulary invited on this occasion. Unjust Attack Eastern papers have been "rightly" scoring a pamphlet, says the Commercial recently issued by a big trust company that warns British investors against Canadian municipal securities. One Eastern Canada authority says thst from internal evidence tbe. company in .question apparently- is on terms of intimate association with the syndicate of Canadian financers, and companies tbat have been engaged in diverting Canadian capital for their own private advantage from the borne enterprises where it ought to be employed, to South America, Mexico and other foreign parts!'' That this ia the case can hardly be doubted when it is seen that tbe object of the 'pamphlet is to boost these same foreign undertakings at tbe expense of the credit of Canadian municipalities. The ground for this direct attack on the cities and towns of the Dominion is tbeir alleged inclination to waste large sums on ill- considered enterprises and tbe ease and readiness witb which their powers are extended, presumably by the provincial legislatuie, The Toronto World says in regard to the matter that this ring of financiers who have heen exploiting the public service of Mexico and other distant countries is to all intents and purposes identical with the ring that has been for years out after the publio services and public domain of Canada and her provinces. An aroused public opinion, however, is presenting strong and increasing opposition to the notion that the great nnd growing urhau communities of the Dominion are to be utilized as happy hunting grounds for would-be multi-millionaires who see in them vast opportunities for private profit ft is because the peoplo are determined to have public services and utilities run for the common good and been use parliament and the legislators are becoming more responsive popular sentiment, tbat these same landers have set tbemsclvea to decry the credit, ol Canadian municipalities. Hut tbey will nut sueceisl. The British public anil British investors are nnl ignorant of tho devious stock manoeuvre! and methods ol public service corporations nnd of llioae who control them, II attacks on the credit of Canadian municipalities are to continue, the "World goes on to say, il will become necessary for them lo act in self de fence. They have nn reason to fear a lull disclosure of the facia and circumstances mul they can confidently count on a thoroughly sympathetic hearing frum thn investing public of Great Britain Lardeau Mines BpOKaXK, May 12,—That the Lardeau mining district of British Columbia is full of promise and merely awaits better methods of ore treatment is the opinion of Mr. A.

Speaking of his trip, Mr. Dewey said yesterday:— " My trip in British Columbia resulted in some surprises to myself, although I was prepared to find the Lardeau district promising. I took with me Mr, Elsom who sampled several properties and who believes them rich in gold, silver and lead, although he bas as yet made no assays. While in the Lardeau we located a deposit of commercial gr iph ite near Upper Arrow Lake and also saw samples of a deposit of asbestos from Mount Martin. ThiB asbestos possesses fibres from seven to sixteen inches, which is said to be an extraordinary length, the fibres'' being about eight or nine. We also found a 26-foot ledge of onyx in place, that looks as if it were of commercial value. "In the mining districts there haa been considerable trouble with the treatment of the gold-bearing rock, and it wae the opinion of Mr. Elsom that the various camps could be advantageously worked only by the introduction of several methods. The best results so far' as I know show but 60 per cent, of the gold saved,, and this is only on' one properly. At present there are about twenty stamps in use there and also one or two small cyanide plants. Some of the ore has been concentrated and sent to the smelters, hut with all the methods no satisfactory results have been attained. " A number of eastein men, with whom another Spokane man and myself are associated, have made preliminary arrangementa to form a syndicate and take over some of these properties with the view to making the reduction more economical."
