PULP AND PAPER MILLS A large pulp an.l paper industry is to be established at Howe Sound, on the Pacific Coast, at a cost of one million dollars. The mills will cover eleven acres ol ground, and when completed will employ at least four hundred men, according to the statement of Capt. H. A. Mellon, who is instructed in the enterp ise. An entirely new clasa^of pulp will be manulactured to be known as tbe chemical viriety, and not only is it claimed for the new process that a higher grade of paper will be pro. duced, but ulso that every kind ot tree excepting maple can be utilized snd tnat there will not be so niuch waste as there is under other processes Work on the plant will be commenced shortly and it is stated tbat the mills will be in operation inside of eight months. The local syndicate whicli is pro. moling the industry has taken out patents so as to provide against the manufacture of the chemical pulp elsewhere in Csnsds, The ministurc machinery which Is to exemplify the new process haa been on its way from Aberdeen, Wash, Ior over three weeks, and this delay has seriously interfered with tbe plans of the company, Eighty-eight acres of land have been purchased on tbe mainland at Howe Sound, and it is proposed to establish a townsite in connection with the industry. It is stated that the water- power in that vicinity is of splendid volume and will be utilized to drive tbe mill machinery, Application Ior water-power is now being made at Westminster, It is said that $200,000 will be invested at the outset, Thousands of Christmas Cards to ohooie from at tbe Canada Drug Store Lace and tapestry curtains, curtain poles and fixtures at C.

Winnipeg, Nuv. 22.—A gentleman who has just returned from Alberta says l hat there are at least $60,000 worth ul cuttle in that province that were ready for shipment, but will have to be turned back on tu the range I r the winter. According to the information given the "Free Press," it would appear that the ranchers were promised early in the season that buyers would be sent out to pick up their surplus cattle. This promise was renewed from time to time, but no buyers put in an appearance, and as the end of shipping neared the ranchers became anxious and were more importunate in theii deurc to get rid of their cattle, but were then brought up by Aid.

SATURDAY, NOV. 23, 1907 A RIGHTEOUS CAUSE. The Kamloops Sentinel haB lound occasion to accuse the Revelstoke Board of Trade of ''butting in" where it bad uo right in the matter of the Thonip«on River Boom Co., asserting that Revelatoke has no lumber interests outside of locsl sections, This is where our esteemed contemporary makes a mistake, for we can claim that even Kamloops has less interest in the Shuswap Lake district than Revelstoke, Thero are several lumber companies with headquarters here who are heavily interested in that district, and the Board of Trade, ever ready to Conserve the interests of its business men, are quite justified in their action in this matter. As regards a local train there is evidently more harmony and not only should Revelstoke aud Kamloops concur upon this poiut, but all the other cities interested should make strong resolutions a-king for the service. There is nu reason why the local travellers sliould net receive every bit as much consideration as the transcontinental. CIVIC FINANCES, The civic year is fast drawing to a close and in a short space of time tlie city will again be in the throes of municipal elections. Tlie present council have made a record in as much as tbey have come to some tangible result in the matter of the auxiliary power plant, the Cuiitract having beeu let and the work to be completed In the near future. This in itself is something accomplished, although they were not successful in coming to terms with the C.I'.R. in the matter uf the supply to them ol power and lig.it We do not consider that all negotiations have l-een broken oil between till oity and tbe railway company, and elicit lieing the case, it will be the duty ol the new council to revive the question antl thia time backed by tl.e actual plant installed, will have even a better basis on which Ui work than the present council had this year. The people are now groaning under the heavy tai burden whicli has been caused by past expenditures of previous councils mounting up tu a Bun. which it was necessary l reduce belore it became too dillicult a matter, and (fir which ways and means were to 1* lound ol reducing it. It iB not fair to the present generatiun that Btreet improvements and other city work, should come out ol the current revenue, thereby causing them heavy expense lor the benefit ol the coming citizens, but lather let the coming generation have the sume opportunity nnd privlegeo! paying for Improvement! ol which they will derive the greater benefit, by extending the paymon: over a term of years. We trust that the cily council will apply itsell energetically tu the problem ol pulling thr civic finances ou a sound basis BENEFITS OF CO-OPERATION Discussed by Officials of the B. C. Fruil & Produce Exchange. VEKNON, Nov. 22.—James Johnstone, preaident, and W. J. Brandritb secretary of the B. C. Fruit-growers' Association, passed through on Monday on their way down the lake, where they will meet the managers ol the various exchanges, and endeavor to induce them to join the B. C. Fruit and Produce Exchange. Mr. Johnstone says the exchange has been quite as successful as could be expected of a new organization during the past year, and has only fallen below expectations on account of the fact tbat so many fruit exchanges have not yet joined it. As a result ol tbis latter, the cutting of prices still continues, and indeed, will only be obviated by the co-operation of all the fruitgrowers of the province. He, himself, l.as been enabled to sell bis fruit through the exchange at a cost of five per cent., instead ol twenty, as form erly. throughout the company's timber limits. The cutting of logs will be continued throughout the winter so that with the swelling ol tbe upper waters of the Columbia there will be enough logs available lor the drive to keep the plant going lor many months. Much the same policy, only on a somewhat smaller Beale, is being pursued in connection with the Palliser Lumber Company. That concern has established quite a few logging can.pe and its management is in hopes tbat the next season will prove a record breaker in respect to the output. FINANCIAL RELIEF Treasury will Issue $150,000.- 000 in Bonds and Certificates Wakhinhton, Nov. 22.—Secretary Cortelyou hae made the important announcement that as a means of affording relief to the financial situation, the treasury would issue $50,- 000,000 ot Panama canal bonds and $100,000,000 certificates of indebtedness, or as much thereof aB may be necessary. The certificates will run tor one year and will bear 8 j>er cent interest. The secretary's action in coming to the rolief ot the financial situation meets with President Rnose- velt's hearty approval, and the plan is the outcome ol the several White House conferences which have been held within the past few days, when the financial situation was under consideration. —— - ».. i MILLS CLOSED FOR WINTER Many Employees Laid off. but Logging Camps run as Usual Goi.i.en, Nov, 22 —Both the Columbia River I.umber Company an.l the Palliser Lumber Company have closed down for the winter months. The former dismissed lhe majority ol its employees last fatunlay, while tlie latter bus ken shut down for upwards nf a week. The mills employ in the aggregate, aboul two thousand men. The Columbia River Lumber Oompany lately installed a new plant coaling in the neighborhood of II .iJOtl.tUlo It ia thoroughly modern in every detail, it lieing the ambition of tl.e American syndicate which bought out Messrs. Jones and Caiin, tu have everything in shape to start, work on a large scale next spring. Although the actual employees have been dismissed and there will be no further cutput for several months quite a gang of men will ta. kept on lor thc purpose of assisting in putting everything in order for the recom- QUEBEC BRIDGE ENQUIRY Philadelphia, Nov. 22.-The Royal Commission named by the Canadian Government to investigate the causes that led to the collapso of the Quebec bridge on August 29, made public the testimony taken here and at the works of tbe Phoenix Bridge Company at Phoenixville, Pa. Theodore Cooper, of New York, tbe consulting engineer, in his testimony given belore the Commission in New York, intimated that the engineers in charge ol tbe work of the bridge site were incompetent, and declared that with the expenditure ol f 100 and three hours of labor the weakened part of the structure could have been braced until pe.manent repairs were made and tl.e structure saved. David Reeves, president of the Phoenix Bridge Company, which was erecting the bridge, in the testimony made public to-day by the Commission said : Mr. Cuuper states he could have saved the bridge, that he now knows the weakness of tbe members that failed and could have remedied them at a cost ol $100, hot be does oot say bow, nor did he tell Mr. McClure, inspector ol the erection at Quebec, on August 29 when he called on him, nor did he tell any one else when the information might hive been acted upon." Mr. Reeves then explains that Mr. Cooper made modifications in the units of stress. Ordinarily engineers use 12,000 to 15,000 pounds to the square inch as the l«sis or unit ul stress determining the smount of metal to be put into each member in a bridge, but in tl.e Quebec bridge, according lo Mr. Reeves, Mr. Cooper increased this to 24.000, 'Such high Btres.es had never before beeu used, and when using them he acted without tl.e authority of tbe Quebec Bridge Company and Dominion of Canada, rested in him. The fall of tl.e bridge is to la. laid directly to the changes ol str^Bs as made by Mr. Cooper." The members of the Commission, c. nsisting ol Henry Holgate, I'rol. J. li, Carey and John Galhraith, will not make their ollicial report to tl.e Cana iliau Govern.oent until alter Christmas, and they would not comment upon the testimony taken here.

A warm appreciation of the Superiority ol the Canadian ovei the American banking system is contained in a letter received by a Vancouver bank manager fron. a wealthy American resident of a large western American oity. The writer owns extensive property interests in Vancouver. He says in part: "I congratulate yourself and the bankers of Canada upon being spared the strain that the banks of the United States are going through. It is dreadful.

It iB a practical, international, auxiliary language suitable for all the purposes ol commerce, science, literature, poetry and general correspondence between tl.e peoples of different nations. Ur. Zameiiliuf's original idea in inventing the language was to prevent friction among the people of his town. The entire grammar ol Esperanto cn lie learned in a few hours. With some application the average petsun can lead any ordinary text within a lew weeks, and within three months speak the language lluently. it takes a. many years under ordinary conditions olsc.h ol study to do as much with any European tongue, Esperanto has beeu tested und tried in every way, and has never yet been lound wanting.

"lie chi oni parolas Esperanto"— Esperanto spoken here— is a common sign in continental cities. For purposes ol loreign correspondence, commerce, literature, science and art, eto. There has been three International Esperanto Congresses, and its success is already greater than tbat of any other artificial language that has ever been invented. It is not intended to supersede the national languages, but to facilitate international communication and the dissemination of useful information, to popularize great lite.ature, to widen the sphere of influence of inspiring thoughts by leading men. To give fuller lile to each natural, national language rather than to stifle its existence, for, freed from the necessity of learning one or more foreign languages, each people would have ampler opportunity of learning thoroughly its own language.

DINNER Informal Opening of the New Gymnasium O'.e of the.n.nl |.(.p..!.(r ev, nts ... Revelstoke and oue which, in a measure, marks nn epoch in the history of the Y.M.C.A. not only in this city hut also in the provinc , took place on Thursday night, when the Ladies Auxiliary ol the Y.M.C.A. prepared their sumptuous annual dinner, this year in celebration ot the informal opening of the new wing of the gymnasium. Elaborate preparations had been made tu pm ip a dinner that would be one ul th est in the annals ol the Ladies' liary. Tables were laid in the gyni.,.is..i.n, tastefully decorated with china, silver, cut glass, llowers and pot plants, and the effect, enhanced by thc presence uf the ladies, daintily clad iu white, who hovered ..i.e...1.uire un the (liners, was extremely pretty. The dinner itsell reflected great credit on the Auxiliary, every article being home made and tasty in the extreme; and the waitresses had a very busy time Iron. C till 8 attending to the wants ol the enormous crowds that surged round the tables. When hunger was satisfied the hall was cleared and a large class of gymnasts under the direotion nl Mr. Aldritt, physical instructor, went through a long und interesting programme of exercises on the parallel and horizontal burs, and mutresses, some of the feats being extremely difficult and demonstrating the athletic abilities of our youth. Soldierly precision and training, as rigidly practised by the physical director, has had its beneficial influence and Rev- e stoke can boast of as good an aggregation of gymnastic ability as any other city in the provinoe. The greatest interest was taken by the spectators in these displays and hearty applause greeted each turn. During the evening E. M. Cook, tbe pupular secretary, held an auction of fancy wurk, bjing the last few articles on the fancy work stall, which earlier in the evening had attracted considerable attention. Candy stall aud fish pond delighted the little ones. As regards the new building itself Revelstoke has every reason to be proud of her Y.M.C.A. Not yet three years old enormous strides have been made, and the people have helped liberally. The decision ol the directors tn canvass the city this year, has met with excellent results, sufficient money being subscribed and promised, to pay off the original liability and to enable the directors to extend the gymnasium. J, A. Kernaghan wss awarded the contract and work was commenced at once, The gymnasium is now, or will be when finished, the finest and largest in the west, and requires only a few final touches now to complete it. The gallery will be extended round the three remaining sides and will be used as a running track. There will nuw be ample room Ior floor work; and during the coming winter the several classes will be nightly at work. The movement has been pupular in the extreme and it is gratifying to know that Itevrlsinke people appreciate the wurk.I .tie'y the Y.M CA. and realize lhat, th. rising generation here will receive every training bi'tl. moral and physi cal, and oo.v the seeds ul successful lile.
