CONSTRUCTION Work to be Rushed—Enormous Equipment. Winnipeg, March 24.—An enormous | plant being used by the railway contracting firm of Meiers. Foley, Welch & 8tewart in carrying out their contracts for double tracking the Canadian Pacific Railway between Winnipeg and Fort William and the fUiilsiing of tbe Thunder Bay brano'.i of the Grand Trunk Paoific from Pf rt Arthur north to the main line, will'je shipped early next month via tl.e C.P.R. to Vanoouver. It will be uti'ized In con nection with the firm's Contracts for constructing the Kitajiiaat branch and a 100-mile section,Sf the Grand Trunk Paoific east from Prince Rupert. The magnitude o. the outfit is apparent from its diversified character. It embraces scores of rock drills for driving tunnels, stem hoists, six hundred teams of horses, ten miles of track for dump cars, and over one thousand peddler cars and carts, besides other incidental plant. This only comprises a portion of the equipment owned by this firm which, after providing for the work on the Pacific coast, still has enough plant left to build the section of the Grand Truuk Pacific between Saskatoon and Edmonton, over three hundred miles, besides a 120-mile section of main line west of Edmonton Moat of the grading on the first-mentioned section has been completed. With the equipment from points e,iet of Winnipeg will come thousands of men who have been employed by this firm lor several years past. The work of double-tracking tne C,P.R. between Winnipeg and Fort William is virtually finished as only three railway camps remain. Grading on the branch line ol the Grand Trunk Pacific from Port Arthur north to the main line is also nearing completion aa all the camps have been closed with the exception of five. It is understood tbat the dirt will be flying in earnest at Prince Rupert snd all along that section early in May Mr. J. W. Stewart, managing director of the contracting firm is now in Edmonton in connection with contracts in that vicinity, ft is not likely that be will reach Vanoouver until a fortnight hence.

He was born July 23, 1833, and was a son of the seventh duke, and Blanche, daughter of the Barl of Carlisle. Tbe death of tbe duke leaves a gap in tbe public life of Great Britain, for although his withdrawal from the Balfour ministry when Joseph Cbam- berlin launched his fiscal policy, estranged him from a majority of the party, he still had a large following in the country and was president of tbe Union Free Trade League. He took an active part in tbe campaign against tariff reform. He led tbe Liberals during the ten porary retirement of Gladstone in 1876, and was offered, but refused tbe premiership after tbe Midlothian campaign of 1880. He was sgain offered tbe honor upon tbe detest of home rule, but again refused.

A Gruesome Find Victoria, March 24.—Lying ou a projecting rock in the bush about five hundred yards behind -Four Mile bouse, tbe skeleton' of a man was found Saturday morning' shortly before noon. A whisky flask, long since empty, a revolver with tbe only cart, ridge in the chamber discharged, and a copy of the Colonist of June Snd of last year, were the only-articles found by the remains other than the almost decayed clothing which once contained a human form. Nothing but tbe skeleton was left, but from appearances the remains were those of a man about 5 leet 6 inches in height, who at the time of death was clothed in apparently medium dark clothing, soft brown felt bat, and possessed apparently brown hair, though the color is now almost indistinguishable, From exposure to tne elements tbs clothing which encased the bones is difficult ol description. Lying by tbe side of the gruesome evidence of a distant tragedy was a revolver, old faabioned and rusty, witb one chamber containing a shell from which tbe bullet had been discharged, apparently of a .38 calibre. Through tbe skull, above the right ear is tbe bole made by the. passage of tbe bullet, presumably from the revolver found. FATAL ACCIDENT Man Crushed to Death under Engine on C.P.R. Bridge. Another (atal accident in connection with the new C.I'.R. Columbia Bridge, occurred on Monday morning when John Hugh Mclnnis, aged 24, employed as anow shoveller on the bridge, was crushed beneath the wheels of a locomotive, bis left ride tiring badly mangled, succumbing to his injuries a few hours afterw irda. It appears lhat a work train hauled by locoinoli»e No. 2150 hid, shortly before the acoident, paasrd weat over the bridge with several cars of bridge material and was returning, backing up slowly with empties when the de. ceased, in eome manner, fell across tbe track and wae crushed by Ihe wheels of the tender, tbe body being pushed several feet before any one in the vicinity notice the accident. The injured man wss at once removed to tbe hospital where he lingered in a semiconscious state for nearly two hours till he died. Coroner Cross held au inquest on the body on Monday night in the oity hall and in the evidence given it appears that the men working on the bridge had all received due warning of tbe approach of the train aud that there was ample means of safety on either side of the bridge for the men, I while a train was pasting. No one actually noticed the deceased immediately before the accident, nor was it seen how he came to get foul uf the engine. The engineer of tbe locomotive stated that the track at that point was all clear when backing up. The evidence showed that the train had whistled when commencing to return Irom across the west side and that the bell was ringing and tbat with tbe warning given eaoh man should look alter himself. Dr. Hamilton gsve medical testimony on tbe deceased's injuries. Tb* jury returned a verdict of accidental death, attaching no blame to anyone. The deceased'Came but recently from Nova Scotia witb bis cousin and bad been employed but a few days on the bridge. The body was shipped to Nova Scotia this morning lor burial, the deceased's brother from Rossland acoom#a»ny- ing it. f,.--- * ' "TYTI .' -pC^CXJOOOlC't ».'* mi ■^-^Jr-■" •■■•/sf^sra mi Order of Owls The Order of Owls held a meeting last Thursday evening in the Oddfellows' hall, and after tbe transaction ol routine business nominations were received previous to the election of permanent officers, The poll closed as follows, the installation to take place next regular meeting.

Vancouver, March 23.—The one hundred, and forty-two Monteagle Hindus were released yesterday after*, noon oh habeas corpus. ■ "The Governor General in Council; cannot delegate his powers in immigration matters to any official even though tbat ollicial, as in tbis case, be the Minister of the Interior. The discretion as to what immigrants shall be admitted or refuted admission must be exercised solely by the Governor- General in Council, as I read the act." You could almost hear the now historic and now invalid order in council of January 8 fall upon Registrar Tot- tengers desk as Mr. Justice Clement concluded his view of ite invalidity, Four counsels sat waiting to be heard in support of tbe contentions of one hundred and fifty six detained Hindus, contentions which went the length of declaring that the order was not only defective but never should bave been promulgated by Ottawa, and particularly against British subjects.

The greatest of our national possession are not mineral resource, foreets or utilities, but the quality of life bandsd down from our ancestors and the stores of knowledge ol literature handed down and what ia greater tbe institutions, laws and customs of th* race, chief of which ar* tk* public schools Natural resources are of little use without education to develop them and geographical positions are made important hy development due to education. There are some things in schools which are hardly in keeping with trie needs which are to equip the boys to earn a livelihood. A school should be a means of coisefving knowledge, imparting knowledge and putting life at its best. For the protection of the body politic every man must be capable of earning an honest livelihood and capable nf performing the dutiesof a citizen and making use of his franchise or liberty will be lost. The time will com* when one quarter of the school dayn will be Jtvoted to doing work with ttie hands on tangible things, one quarter to languages, one quarter to science and one quarter to mathematics. Education is a series of human experi- nncss lnading up to an increase of knowledge, power, goodwill, ability and skill of body and goodwill of soul. It ihould be the highest privilege to advance the education of the people as it is th* most important duty ol statesmanship. Jt is not becoming to us to underestimate the valuo of well trained teachers or to remunerate "them below what is their right for both of these unless taken care of will lead to national suicide. We arc the heirs of all ages and we should leave behind us for those who come after us something just a little bit better than was left us. It is to our children we look for the enob- ling of our future Canadian pride and it is our duty to lay the seeds of uprightness and national excellence that may produce the fruit to perfection. Parents as well as teachers have a duty to the children and this should be also a duty to the empire, for the upbringing of future generations in mental, physical as well as in moral principles is by far the greatest obligation that our nationalism demands of us. POLICY OF CAUTION. As far as can be gathered there does not seem to be any idea of handling any extensive city improvements tbis year and the city council in their decision on this matter havo acted wisely. While a growing city like Revelstoke entails steadily increasing charges for administrative purposes, it is quite possible while such civic improvement is in progress to increase the outlay beyond what is really- necessary, There are many things which are desirable but which cannot be had without either adding to the burdens of the taxpayers or creating new permanent debt. Neither of these courses should be attempted at the present time. Things really necessary for the comfort and health of the citizens, must and should, of course, be had as far as is possible. But other schemes and other projects requiring considerable expenditure should be postponed for a more convenient season. The condition of the civic finances and the demands on the treasury that must be met forbid any outlay on things not absolutely necessary. In all directions we see governments municipal and others, conducting their affairs |with a cautious policy and avoiding as far as possible to commit themselves to obligations that can only be met by the creation of a new debt. Rev- elstoke'e government should adopt a similar policy. The people must realize that if their requests for civic improvements, new sidewalks or street opening arc turned down, it is for the best, and that the council with un eye to the future as well as the present, have adopted a policy that will, by economy now, result in far more benefit for the city and the citizens iu the future and that foresight practised at this time will put the city on a better basis. SHOULD BE NO FACTION There is so much truth in the following concise statement, uttered by the Municipal World, that it will bear repeating: "There should be no faction in any town. The property of one individual and every improvement enhances the value of all property in the corporation. A town is simply one big family. When this is discarded there is little progress. When there is a united pull for anything, its accomplishment is made easy. Envy, jealousy and hatred are things to be despised. Envy is a canker that i^naws at the heart and makes folks sour, disgruntled ami unhsppy; jealousy warps the intellect and makes us unfair in passing judgment. Hatred doesn't pay even from a sordid point ot view." A GREAT PROVINCE. British Columbia Richest Possession of British Empire. Luther D, WiBhard, of New York, vice-president of the lted Fir Lumber company, of Victoria and Nanainio, ie on his fourth visit to the capital ol B. C. in tbe last 18 months, und he can hardly find words to describe his impressions and bis views of the potentialities of British Columbia. Alter eighteen mouths of active in- vestigation of your province, he remarked, I am prepared to believe the remark of J. 8. DenniB, land commissioner of the C.P.R. that British Columbia is the richest possession of the British Empire. That description is not at all overdrawn. Take your timber supply alone. It is enormous. In the United States we aro already within the pale of a timber famine. Ail tbat wo can do is to get the tariff off and buy timber from Canada. When the effect of the wholesale destruction ol its timber areas upon the climate and rainfall ol the United States, is considered, one readily comes to the conclusion that the British Columbia government acted wisely in placing a reserve upon the timber areas ol the crown. It is extremely important tbat steps should be taken to reforest the areas as they are stripped. Not alone the timber; when you consider the province aa the prospective orchard of the empire, as your finance milliliter aptly put it, when on the top ol that you consider your climate, your fisherie. and your extent of arable land, and cap it ail witb your mineral resources,Mr. Dennis' remark may be understood. A TOURIST BOOM This Province Has Very Valuable Asset in Her Scenery In British Columbia we have booms in mining land, timber and real es ntc, but one ol our greatest assests has not yet been exploited to any great exten'. I riler to the tourist trade There is millions in it for this province if we will ouly reach out and get the globe trotters to stay here (or months at a time. In the summer time no country in tli' world surpasses tbis glorious province in its attractions for those who love nature in its most delightful moeds. All tbat is now neceaanry to do is to have good hotels at every point of scenic beauty and use elegant printing to tell the world. It would pay the government to spend vast stuns in fostering ibis trade. The C.l'.R. has done a great deal, but only at » lew lavored epots. Years ago I wrote Sir Thomas Shaugh- nessy asking him to build an hotel at New Denier, as tbere woold be millions in it. He replied saying tbat the C.l'.K. was not climbing for mil- liona and tbat tbe road would give someone else a chance to build tbe hotel aud make tbe millions. I agi- tat.'d'for fifteen years to have a mint built in I.' ii..i.i. and, one is now in operation and making money, and 1 hope to live long enough toaee British Columbia one of the greatest reaorta for tourists on this whirling planet of ours.—R.

The money had merely been delayed, tbey claimed. The engine was then free to proceed where it would. Mark Twain on Temperance Mark Twain has this to say about prohibition: " I am a friend of temperance, and want it to succeed," said Mark, "but I don't think prohibition is practical. The Germans, you Bee, prevent it. Look at them. I am sorry to learn tbat tbey have just invented a method of making brandy out ol sawdust. Now what chance will prohibition have when a man who takes a rip saw snd goes out and gets drunk with a fence rail? What is tbe good of prohibition if a man can make brandy smashes out of shingles on i is roof, or if he can gel delirium tremens by drinking the legs iff the kitchen chairs."

Yeigh Describes a Selkirk Mountain Trail and its Fascination to the Mountaineer —A Vivid Picture. Tbo gloriei and wonder, of the Selkirk Mountains are but realized bv a tew, snd to fully appreciate the sublimity ol nature here displayed in her majestic grandeur, one must bave tasted ol the disci nation and delights of the "challenge ol tbe mountains and have answered the call of the "Here's the start, along the railway track dodging Imperial Limited) and Pacific Expresses and groaning freights as only broDohoes can, for tbey are born dodgers. "Then a plunge into the Selkirk forest, the mountain sides a mass of verdure, a tangle of leaf and bush and flower. The course is full of ups ami downs, creased every few yards by a galloping little riverlet fussing along on its way to the river, and to the loss of its individuality. "For a space we travel ever the old tote road of C. P. R. construction days. (Could it not tell tales and spin yams?) For another space, remnants of snow sheds in the shape of huge timbers strew the side, revealing their ILLEOILLEWAET VALLEY wilds " Frank Yeigh of Toronto, one of the most descriptive writers of tbe day in Canada, aptly describes a trip in the Selkirks up the famous Cougar Valley to tbe Deutschman Caves so well known to our Revelstoke people snd indeed the world in general. In a descriptive letter to the Winnipeg Free Press, Mr. Yeigh says: "Once more I have hit the trail. ' It is a trail in the Selkirks, and who shall adequately sing of the joy, the freedom, the exhilaration of tbe journey over its sinous length! "How health-giving the blessed breath of the mountain air, the scent of the wild flower life, the aroma of nature in all her bewilderment of luscious growth. Tbe real life it the story of avalanche or snowi-litlc power. "Down and down toward* the ever- lowering Illecilleivaet wo drop till Mount Sir Donald and all bis statelli- tiei arc lost to view. "Ferns, mouses, big-leaved plants, webs of vegetable growths crowd all the areas between the forest monarebs for monarchs they are, clean limbed, straight-limbed, erect as grenadier guards, seeking the sun with ne'er r distorted branch. Clean-hearted too, judging by a recently felled specimen, and not even cross-grained. Excellent qualities in tree or man. "Paddy is now doing the first ol a series of climbing acts. On the left are the railway loops, iiug.-ing Ab'iott's b.ise, nearing Bonney's ice field and all BACKBONE OF THE SELKIRKS life of the open air; and the real world is the out-of-doors world. 'Down by the Illecilleivaet glacier, where the mountain hotel is crowded into a cleft between the hill wateway, our pony train is packed, with the diamond hitch, and saddled with the ten derfeet travellers. Sid Baker shouts the word of command to Paddy, the lead horse, to start the procession, and Paddy, tbe obedient Irishman that he is, solemnly hits the trail, bearing on hia back a precious cargo of blankets, grub, ice axes and ropes. "We make for Charlie Deutsch- nian's cabin away up Cougar valley to tbe north. I wonder if there is such another trail in Rockies or Selkirks, in Cascades or Coastal range? It is a but colliding with Ross Peak. Even the abiding hills must have marvelled at the audacity of man in finding footholds for his tracks of steel over which the snake like trains crawl. D.ies tbe mountain realize that man ia greater than its broad-based mass? "Or perchance the mountain does not design to notice the tiny human intruder into ita realm of majesty and might, 1 don't believe Mount Sir Donald noticed the tenderfoot wbo, climbing the Cheops trail, gazed back and marvelled aB he gazed oo the dominating bulk of this kingly spirit throned among the hills. "For bb Paddy shows us his sturdy heels, on' the next corkscrew bit of the trail, where the trees are bigger at the GLACIER HOUSE AND HERMIT RANGE, CANADIAN SELKIRKS way of charm and delight, of never- ending change, ol ever-unfolding panorama. butt and higher in the reaoh, all the iiimintaint to the southward are shifting their positions. Dus ahsad, and higher, rise thu white crowned and sombre-shaded »lopce of Cougar—tbe mountain with tbe half-score of peaks, toward which tbe trail is gradually lifting lis. "And the life on toe trail too— alarmed partridges lying to us as to the whereabouts of their young, Gophers making faces at us, and marmots, perched on the boulders along the narrow path, whistling their challenge and alarm. Come to think of it, there were birds too— but one can't be au ornithologist, when geology and botany demand attention, so we'll let the birds sing without trying to classify them according to tbe bird dictionary. "If you hit the Cougar trail long enough, the trees will be left huddled in the valley depths. Alpine meadows will come into view, where mountain eh<°ep find rich browsing and where your strong-minded mount will frequently dine as if it were a free lunch counter. Patches of snow, remnants of the spring's snowsheds run their white tongues between the meadows. "Don't forget that we are still climbing. The next bit takes us up another corkscrew way with mighty sharp corners and mighty narrew horse space. Waterfalls, too, are decorating the entire sides with their white ribbons and some careful navigation through tumbling streams is made by the keen eyed ponies. "I tell you this trail-hitting is great sport I It brings the higher peaks nearer, it makes the hitherto hidden ways reveal themselves, it penetrates nature Eldorados and lifts the trailer physically and spiritually, high above tbe va'ley bed. "Deutschman's cabin—hut ..crimps you do not know wbo Deutschman is. Permit me to introduce to you Mr. Charles Deutschman, pfospecter, guide mountaineer, hunter, philosopher, friend and flapjack cook, the discoverer of the Cougar caves and the ollicial government guide thereto aud therein. Charles is not at home when we cry a halt, but presuming an old acquaintance, an entrance is forced, a fir* started, a dish of tea brewed, a rasher of bacon fried and a pot of jam opened. A feast of rare satisfaction follows, with a night's sleep of rare soundness, despite tbe efforts of porcupines, gophers and mountain rats to gnaw their way in. Only the two latter succeeded and they kindly scamper over my travelling pal instead over his pal. 'Nature sings us to sleep with many voices—and silence i, with the songs of the cascades high above us, that never stop for breath; with the nearer song of the Cougar liver right at our cabin door, and with tbe wierder inutile of the river that reaches us from the cave world din ci Iy below, with its inferuos aod pits aud Humes and canyon depths steeped in ihe daikne.s of blackest night. "The ear y morning glimpse ol the world reveals ft wonder corner ol Canada, surrounded by v shaped lines of peaks, with a va.t sr.oiv Held crowded in between. Here the trail bitteis leave their pouies to the enjoyment of a pasture banquet nnd hit number trail up the Cougar snow slope, passing a line of trees cut off near tbeir bases by an early spring snowslide. "The river is roofed in by snow bridges over which we carefully pick our devious way, noting many, a fresh foot-print of mountain animals. Where the snow roof had fallen into the it ream through the watery undermining, miniature icebergs float in miniature fords marked by rarest color effects. "Up and up the snow slope the amateur alpinists puff their way. On every hand we tread upon the strange red snow—an unsolved riddle to the scientist, though he has identified it aa the algea of nature. To the red man the colored spots represent billions ol snow-fleas. Snow spiders and snow flies, of unusual size and blackness, dot the white surface. Later, a inouii tain goat run gives '-s the best of trails to the peaks above the summit of the pass. "The hours ol upgrade toil in the mountains have their exceeding great reward. The first peep over the roof of the Cougar ridge is worth all ths breath and strength spent in reaching it, for the eyes ret for the lirst time upon other valleys, other peaks are martialled in military line, other glacial masses are wedged in between towering rock walls whose depths make the mind dizzy in an effort to measure tbem. Other extensive snow areas give a note of white grandeur under the blue sky and above the blue mists of the vallry deds. "High above our beads, the six peaks of Cougar mountain dare ua to scale their boulder strewn shoulders. The challenge is accepted, in a spirit of ascendenoy that seizes upon the climber. Peak No, 1 is reached, Ko. 2, No. 3, No. 4, each higher than its neighbor, and ss those without cairns had probably never been conquered before, stone men are duly built. Along narrow ridges of rock we crept, now negotiating a snow cornice ol uncer tain security, mw enlireling a buttress rock tbat throws ths upper part LULU of the body over indefinite depth, now scaling a sky-aspiring wall. "Hitting the trail is rare aport, but hitting the summit of a dignified and aristocratic old mountain, for the first time, ie rarer sport still, It ie cine- thing to bite one's teeth en, and to test nerve and wits and self control. "Then tbe vision! Tbe fifty miles of tbe I'lecillewaet dtiyon lies io full view, bordered on the west by Mount Begbie and the Columbia; Sir Donald and his family loom up grander than ever; the Hermits stand forth in startling majesty, the world is lull of mountains ! "But man cannot for long aubaisc on scenery. Already a score of hours- have slipped by since the bre - kfast in the cabin, and already this chronicle is too long drawn out or else there might be recoided tbe unsuccessful efforts of the trio climbers to find short cuts to camp down the almost perpendicular walls of Cougar, negotiating chimneys too long for our longest rope, getting in the path of dangerous rook slides, and testing rotten rocks and elippery snow, "Back the way we came, traversing again the quartette of peaks, glissading down tbe snow fields, the tender- feet (ah, their feet are tender in all truth by this timet) hit the welcome trail to Charlie' bunk house and food cache, back to the Glacier House,— back home !

Dull weiitbei marred Ibis must popular and iiltrac tive event In spile (if Ibe inclemency of the elements, the fair s 'it were mud in evidence and the millinery staffs ol these two progressive linns were kept busy. The creation* this year are very marked and show a new style in many cases The large hat is rather fashionable and tlie merry widow ie distinctly noticeable. There is no par ticuliir pre| nnderanoe in color, and flowers are extensively used in Irim- mings. As a whole the spring millinery of l'JOi is daintier and more elab orate than lhat of lasl year, and these Arms have both risen to the occasion and have goods tbat eastern cities might well envy. The beads ot tbe departments have carried out tbeir in a dainty fashion and it will well repay every member oi the Revelstoke lair Bex to visit these two up to dale stores where all the latest fashions ol spring millinery are so temptingly displayed and wheie in effort ie lost to satisfy even the most fastidious. It makes a highly interestin - and pleas ing morning's diversion to look over this season s goods and to cboose from a large and replete stock the very latest thing in feminine headgear. To the most critical each specimen ol millinery possessed some special teature either in shape or style ol trimming, or color scheme and all bear evidence of good taste in selce lion and skill in manipulation. Great ia the variety in trimmings, flowers ol moderate to large Bize, ribbonB mostly in plain effects, here and there relieved by brilliant Persian, o^prey and ottrioh plumes. Blues and Roman piuk are stylish colors, though black, white and natural tones are more in evidence. Speaking generally tbe display this year is highly creditable, proving tbat in millinery Revelstoke is not going to be left behind and showing the same determination to forge ahead, tbat has been so well demonstrated in other departments of these two firms, in tbe business life of this. city. Miss Me-. Kenny is in charge of tbe millinery, department ot Reid A Young and Miss Chamberlain of C. B. Hume A Co. WHIST TOURNAMENT Successful Event in Aid of the Hospital.
