APPALLING DISASTER 75,000 Killed by Earthquake and Tidal Wave— Disaster Worst in History of the World —Relief Committees at Work Rome, Deo. 20.—A late edition of the Tribin... here today estimates the number of earthquake aud tidal wave victims as between (iii.OOO and 75,000. The Tribune says that twice that many are injured and are suffering desperately from hunger and exposure. Relief committees are nulling food, supplies and medical stors s to the stricken sections. King Emmanuel is on his way south and will assume direction of the relief work. The fearful 1 ss of life uud horrible suffering of the viciims is appalling. Reports contiuue tn men n. e ihe h rroi of the di-tister. Hundreds ol thousands are ll llll.-lens null must of till III alt Willi- out food. All the seismic iippurntus in Italy was broken by the shocks.' The soldiers ure doing good work in tho sections visited by tho disaster. In Dearly all citiej orders have been given to shoot down looters, and those ord' rs have been carried out in many cases. The heaviest damage was done at Messina, iu Sicily, and Beggio, in Calabria, across the straits [rum Messina. Few reports have come from Reggie, but they indicate that lho city was shaken terrifically and that the lots of life was heavy. It is the capital of the province of Reggio tli Calabria aud is a city of about 60,000 inhabitants. The destruction of Messina was more tbe result of the tidal wave than of tbe earthquake, according to the testimony of a trainload of refugees who bave arrived at Catania from Messina. Tbey say the dead officially reported at Messina cumbered 1800 but asserted tbat this would fall far below the correct estimate, which tbey Baid should be at loaBt 12,000. A serious clash between the soldiers and looters at Messina today resulted in a number ol deaths. The soldiers lired on the looters and drove tbem into the mountains. General Costa, who in addition to bis military position, is an archbishop, commander of the garrison at Messina is among tbe dead. Several hundred foreigners, including many English and Americans, were iu Messina at the time of tbe disaster. No word has been received from any of tbem and it is (eared all hnve perished.

"It is our intention to cheapen the coBt of manufacturing, und, of course, to cheapen the cost to consumers proportionately," says Mr, Hines. "We will not do this, however, at the expense of tho country hy wrecklesa or wasteful lumbering methods. "We will work in harmony with the forestry departments of the United States nnd Canada, and we hupe to make money out of the things that tb y will ask ub to do. Pur instance, we Will Utilize all the timber on ihe grninil we cut over. We wiil noi "imply pie- out the ub ice 'iei-s,.leaving dead wood a d h.u-h to Iced l i- est fires, We will clear lands, bo thin instead of being a worthless wilder- neSB, after it is cut over, it will he valuable for farming purposes., "We are also hupiug that u further reduoliun may he made in the eust ol lumber to Anioric.in consumers by the tuking off' of the tariff. The greator part of our land is iu Canada, uud this would enable us to bring thcCauudiun lumber iutotb U.S., a thing thut the turiff practically prohibits now."

The quality of the work uf the-e talented artists cnu best be judged by the dillicult selections they attempted uml rendered to por Ieo tion, Tbo world fniiious iiiterninsso Irom Mascagnis' Cavalier Rtisticanna was a delightful item, while tho well- know Anvil Chorus was received with Hjiptuiotis applause, That the Pol- matter Sisters have made a'hit' with lho citizens ol Edmonton is unquestionable, as at the close of the concert they were each presented with a bouquet of chrysanthemums hy the young and handsome men of the city known as the law students."

May Erect Mill Mr. R. R. Hall, of Pcterboro, Ont., one of the organizers of the Pacific Coast Lumber Co , Vancouver, anil at preBenl vice-president of the Big Bend Luiulier Co., Arrowhead, B.

Mr. Hall is also interested in a tract ol 13,000 acres of timber on the Indian river, up tbe North Arm of Burrard Inlet, aud although the question ol erecting a Kin-mill there has been considered, no action will he taken at present. In reference to the limber of the province Mr. Hall had the following tu say: ' Brltlcb Colombia timber is a sound inv. 8 merit, lt will never approxi- in t o anything like Iti real value until tue government makes tbo lilies moro secure. It strikes me as peculiar that in au ft|;e when everybody is talking of forest conservation the limber laws sli'iiiil be framed to encourage thn millmen to log their limits as last as possiule. Tho right to cut in perpetuity should be granted, and ground r*nt should be redncod together with an increase in stiimprtgo tines.
