OLUMBER Mr. Meredith Speaks in Optimistic Terms of the Splendid Crops in the East and B. C. Lumber. Mr. Thos. Meredith, tbe well-known lumberman ot the count, was iu the city yesterday on liiu return from an intended trip throughout the east. Mr. Moredith epent over a month on the prairies, and took in the position of business generally. To the Mail Hkuai.ii Mr. Moredith said: "The crops never looked better in the history of the weit than they do today, and are fully a month ahead of last year. There are over one million acres in advance of any previous 'year in crops, and should bring the 1908 total to well o.er the 100,000,000 mark." Being asked as to the lumber situation from tbe prairie standpoint, be reuiarkel that there was a shortage of lumber at present in the eatt and that there would not be sufficient lumber in British Columbia cut to meet the demands expected thn full. For instance iliere is not within 50 per cent, of the lumber stacked in the yards at the mills that U estimated I. ibe uewsptpers, aud will! a sbortagi ol logs, which la known and admitted by everyone, the mills will no. bo iu a position this fall to saw up to the demand. Should ibe deniau I arise for lumber later nu, of which very me at all a, quainted with things 00 tbe prairie, are expecting, it will be found too late that tbeie will be no means of getiiug cars fur haulage purposes. It it expected, and rightly so, tbat tbe railway companies will be taxed to their utmost to rush the wheat to sea ports, and it will take every rail way car tbat tbe companies oan put into commission to move tbe crops. The consequence will be lhat the lumbering demands for the prairies will bave to suffer for want of transportation. Tbe lumbering business bas a bright outlook and there will be something doing this fall along that line, Mr. Meredith left by the sonth train for Pingstoh Creek in company witb Mr. Rand Gibbons, to look over the plant of the Gibbous Lumber Co., of which he is 1 large shareholder.

Seattle, June 17.—Tbat there are internal disturbances in Mt. Baker, and that some surprise is plauned by the monster, is tbe report brought by Aiakel Curtis and a party Irom the mountain, who returned yesterday from a trip to the summit. They say the crater nt the base of the centre of one of the three topmost peaks has changed its location fully a quarter of a mile to the eastward since latt seen six mouths ago, and that it is spouting noxious gases, smoke and sulphur. About the new crater, which appears larger than the old one, the snow has partially melted and ie covered with a dirty coating of tulpbur. ATE THEIR GUIDE Awful Tale of Cannibalism from Canadian Far North Montkeal, June 16—The provincial police bave been seeking for traces in tbe far northern part of Quebec of two kunten and a guide, but bave given up tbe search, believing that all bave perished. It develops that the two men, Grissett aud Bernard, first ate tbe guide, August Lemieu, and then one ot tbe two left ate tbe other. The remains of two men bave been found, authenticating the gruesome tale of cannibalism. The third man has evidently been starved to death or gone mad. Tbe hunters could not lind their cache of provisions, hence their plight.

PROBABLE SUICIDE Dead Man Found in Central Hotel Bedroom—cyanide of Potash a Likely Cause—An Inquest Held. Broke, morbid, loathing himself, and feeling that life had now no more inducements for him, the rea<tion of a long bout of drinking setting in, and dazed by the fact that nil his money was gone, with no one In whom ho is'iuld turn to fnr advice und possible cnii-iilation, E. B yee, tin- of life and holding in his band the mentis of a swift nnd complete end to all his troubles "cyanide," that instantane- siusly fatal and deadly poison, made up his mind for the last time, swallowed the morsel and fell stiff and rigid on his face on his hands and knees in a bedroom at tbe Central botel on Saturday, unknown to anyone. Such is the likely stoiy which could be told, if tbe deed had been done before other mortal eyes, but the terrible death is shrouded in mystery and the truth will never be known. E. Boyee, middle aged, and well known In Revel.toke bad but recently come in from lhe Bend and with a large sum of money bad entered upon a wild drinking bout which took away all bis cash and left bim practically "stoney." On Saturday latt be had recovered and had' purchased some' cyanide of potassium, from Dr. Cross, which he ri quired for trapping and killing wolves. He was seen on Sat in-day going up to bedroom K to change bis shoes, but bad not registered at tbe hotel as engaging any room. W. Carrington, the hotel porter, tried to get into his room thinking be was drunk, to rouse him, but being told to let bim alone he went away. The second time he tried, about midnight on Monday, and found that the door misted, he pushed hard and opened it sufficient to get his hand in, aud touched Boyee's forehead, an icy cold touch! the chill of death. Carrington informed the proprietor who notified tbe police and the coroner. Medical assistance was secured but the man had been dead nearly 30 hours. Tbe body wsb found in a semi kneeling position and fully clothed. A post mortem wss made but the doctors state that no test could be obtained for either strychnine, morphia or cyanide. The body was :i ne- I culur and healthy. There was un ' abraeion over the bridge ol the nose, a j dint on the forehead, left side of face turning green, but internal organs practically normal. Further medical evidence showed that tho heart gave evidence of sudden death, and poison was possible by the rod appearance of the stomach. The doctors stated tbat death had been probably caused by poison, but could not be proved, aod that when thoy snw tbe body life had bden extinct about 30 hours. On the budy were found a watob, photo, box of cyanide of potassium, etc. At tbe inquest, yesterday, no evidence wsb forthcoming as to how the deceased met bis dea:h, and tbe jury brought in a verdict of "death from heart failure (roio unknown causes. Knocked Out in the Eighth. l'Aiiis, June 16.—Tommy Burns, tbe Canadian heavyweight pugilist, defeated Bill Squires, the Australian, in the eighth round of a bard fought battle at Neuilly on Saturday.

With heavy charges uf uu explosive the conspirators blew up one hundred and fifty feet of Hume on a hillside on the west side of Hood River some time early Sunday morning and today two-thirdt of the crop in the valley, or about 400 acres, is without water and will be in this condition for at least three days. The damage was done at a time when the berry season ii at Hi height. GAME RESERVE Warden Williams Makes Trip Through East Kootenay. Vancouver, Juno 16.—A. Bryan Williams, Provincial Game Warden, has just returned from a trip to East Kootenay, whore ho wont for the purpose of selecting a location for a provincial game reserve. He will make another tour before finally dociding. During his tour Mr. William* covered 200 miles on foot through a very rugged country. Ho noticed plenty of game, and found that the herds of elk were rapidly increasing in numbers. It is probable that when a reserve is selected its southern border will be some miles uorth of the International Boundary, and that its eastern border will be sufliciently wost of Alberta to insure that tho overflow from the reserve will bo kept well within the Province.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1908 LET'S FIGHT SQUARE Some little while ago a Kamloops contemporary accused Revelstoke of boosting her route up the Canoe River to ths- G, T. P, construction at the expense ol their route, Mating that whenever Kevelstoke wants to get anything sin- does it by knocking at Kamloops. To this we give the lie direct, for throughout all this campaign, if it may fo -».• called, when advocating our own route as the shortest and most accessible of any, we have never done any boosting at the expense of any other city who may have claims for a better right, nor have we advertised our route by knocking any other, or publishing deliberate falsehoods. Kamloops now contends that the Kevelstoke route compares very disadvantageous^ with her own, and tries to point out that Kevelstoke cannot furnish the necessary supplies for contractors and generally endeavors to put a damper on anything we may have. While we do not wish at this stage of the game to commence picking holes in our neighbors and trying lo discountenance everything tbey have, yet at the same time we deny that these statements regarding the unfeasihility of the route as published in the Kamloops paper are correct. Reports that have been circulating in Golden touching our route are far from being what is really the case and those reading them would get an altogether erroneous idea ol what we have and arc asking for. In taking lip this question we have1 worked on a principle which in our estimation and in the opinion of many in this province is perfectly square and straightforward, advocating our claim and urging our possibilities without doing so by knocking some one else. We know and are convinced that, we have the goods and can deliver them without trying to prove it at the expense of other points and casting reflections and making false insinuations against them. Our chief aim is to make this matter a provincial one and secure the trade which must of necessity arise from a work of such magnitude as railroad construction to B. C. We. would ask the government to hear in mind that assurance be given towards opening up our route at present conditional upon contractors deciding to use this route and can see no objections to a similar promise being given to Kamloops, but at all costs this trade should bo kept in the province which Kevelstoke is endeavoring primarily to secure in the first place while incidently feeling assured that her route is the most feasible of any. If this matter cannot be taken up by cities in the same strain ns this, it BeemB indeed passing strange and Revelstoke will never resort to gaining any object, however important by casting aspersions on her neighbors and by taking an unfair and mean advantage. but once his slumbers are broken he is apt to move quickly. Manufacturers are constantly being moved from England to continental centres, driven forth by a fallacious fiscal policy, and it behooves Canada to show that she has even greater advantages to offer than the most favorably situated European countries, and that her prospects for manufacturing concerns are not one whit less than time afforded to farmers by her fertile lands. CORRESPONDENCE. Socialism? Revelstoke, B 0., June 15, 1908. Bdtlor MAn.-iiKiiAt-ii. Dear Sir ;—In an editorial in a recent edition of your paper, you took up the subject of Socialism under tlio beading, 'They have not told us,1' aud you dealt with a few of tie cliiei objections to, and pointed out the impracticability of what those people wbo call themselves Socialists advocate. In reply to this you p ibli.hed a letter from the secretary of the Socialist Party Executive, giving a long history of social evolution from his point of view, which being condensed simply meant that society haa evolved and will continue to evolve, a point wbioh nobody, «o far as I know, haa ever disputed. That the evolution of society is going to sbape itself alonj. the lines that those people proles, to teach ia another matter and from the way in which that gentleman shirked your questions, we can only conclude KEEP UP STATISTICS. that they themselves when intelligent- Ill a very short while the United '* questioned, can only find refuge in States will he turning its whole \ generalities which have no immediate attention to the Fourth of July celebrations, which although very laudable and right, are usually carried out lo the limit, which turn rejoicing into sorrow practical man and if tbe sncialis's cannot give us some idea of how they propose to do things and answer a small number of elementary points, they had better go back to the common school mid learn that Ihe first thing to know in any given undertaking is what is to be done, what bave you got to do it with, and whai will be the cun.iqnenoes when it in done. At pre .eut their propo. ition to me is an unintelligible pipe dream. Y'ours truly, 'OUIISIER. METHODISr APPEAL Keep Religion out of Politics Says the Conference The action of ministers of the gospel in taking part in political issues for the hem Iii ol their party, and using the pulpit for their political utterances was strongly condemned by the recent Method st conference at Winnipeg, aud iu a thrilling speech, Rev. Wellington Bridgemau, the president of the con lerenoe, strongly urged upon tbe ministers to do their duty by tbe people of the church and leave politics alone. In opening the couferet ce Rev. Wellington Hridgeuian, the president, made a thrilling speech in which be dem.unctd the ministers of any denomination wbo sank so low that they waded into politics for tbe benefit of tbeir party and themselves. "1 w nt to defend the ministry," he said, "but if they want to wade into politics for their own party, then let them do it, hut in the name of Heaven and the name of Christ, I ask our in misters to refrain from interfering with polities." bearing on the _ub]ect.

When Revelstoke gets down to business and sets her mind upon ani one object she usually gets it, and oi thi. occasion the local Orangcniei hive certainly made up their mini' upon a demonstration that will b- second to none and bard to beat in tbe future. The committees are hard at work arranging all details, and formulating plans that will make July 12th tbe biggest gala day in the history of Revelstoke. Posters and handbills have been sent lortb describing tbe attractions for tbat day, and the Orange men here anticipate a bumper crowd from all districts. Tbe city will be appropriately decorated for the occa ■ion and the merchants will d> well If they make special efforts in dressing tbeir windows and making their stores as artistio and attractive as possible Several arches will be erected io various parts of tbe city and the grounds where the demonstration will take place, will be suitably adorned witb emblems typical of the occasion. A full programme of athletic sports and sanies bas been drawn up and will be published later. Four bands', from Summerland, Kamloops, Vernon and Revelstoke will be present and take part in the grand process-ion. Some of tbe best and ablest Orange speakers will give addresses and the Order itself will be fully represented. It is anticipated that several thou sand visitors will be in the city on the 12th, and perfect arrangements will have to be made to cater lor and accommodate this vast crowd. Revel' stoke knows how to entertain and welcome her visitors, and she will not be behind on this occasion. Special rates on trains and steamers have been secured and the trip to the '-Gateway of the Kootenays," the "Mountain City," will form a most delightful holiday. The Origin of the "Kilties" Seven years ago, in New York, the "KiltieB" first made their appearance before any but a home audience, and from that day to this, they have never been allowed to retire from public view. Their appearance was the Bignal for instantaneous approval, and since then they have travelled over the countries of Canada, United States, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Mexico, regularly meeting with tbe succesi that concerted effort for perfection, in musical matlcts, deserves. Unique in their costutno, the "Kilties" are a distinct feature in the band) ol today. There are bauds and bands—but only one "Kilties"—this is the judgment of all who hear them. Whether it is their brilliant costumes, the fact that they are on lour so long, that ihey never lose touch witb each other, or the natural ability of the Scotch-Canadians to play well, the fact remains that there is no other organization of a similar nature today that is more popular than the "Kilties." This delightful oompany of artists sre accompanied by a picked male choir, the famous troup of Scotch Pipers aod Dancers, and will be seen and heard in this city on Wednesday, July 8th, 1908, at the Roller Rink. Tbey are now ou their fifteenth tour and judging from the past, it v ill be as successful as thoie that have gone belore. The "Kilties" concerts sre to get the best results, it is not a cause for wonder that the "Kilties" are bailed with delight wheiever they appear. The hand is. under the leadership of Albert Cook, A BIG INDUSTRY New Dominion Regulations re B. C. Fisheries. Ottawa, June 16—Tbe new British 'olumbla fishing regulations appear ■ the "Canada Gazette", some of the terns .ire: Fishing with nets in Biiiitsh Coluni b.a waters is prohibited, except under licence. One-thiid of any cove, bay or inlet must be kept free from nets. No kind of netting is ulloweJ in fresh water lakes and on non-tidal waters. Salmon under three pounds must be returned to tbe water. Trout uuder three pounds cannot be bought, sold or exposed for sale in the province. Cricket The regular weekly match was played lost Saturday between the Shamrock aod Maple Leaf teams resulting in a very easy win for the Shamrocks. however tbe "Maple Leaves have not yet fallen," and another time hope to show tbe Shamrocks how to do it. A very pleasant feature of the sport is the interest shown by visitors from the outside; who think the club might be subsidised by the Tourist Associa tion. A number of visitors were much interested in the game last Saturday, and Mr. Marchant of the Victoria club who waB invited to play on the team showed at once a scientific knowledge of the game. B, R. Atkins played in good form, and had the honor of making top score There- suits were aa follows: SHAMROCK Atkins, c Brooker, hi Quiti ,. 24 Shaw, run out, thrown in Qnin ... 10 Maley, c Brooker, b Brooks 12 Blacklock, b Brooks ti Taylor, b Quin 2 Young, b Brooks 0 Norris, b Quin 1 Bourne, not out fi Foster, b Brooks 8 Field, c and b Broiks 4 LcFeaux, c Aman, b Ijuin 0 Bscs 2 Total ...: 69 MAPLE LEAF Brooker, c Brooker, li Shaw 7 Steed, h Shaw (I Marchant, c Bourne, h Maley 1 Q,uin, Ihw, h Shaw 1 Veith, bShaw 0 Brooks, c Field, h Shaw 1 Aniiin, b Maley March, b Shaw Rose, b Malay Sword, not out Wniiiv. right, c Blacklock, h Maley Byes Total CREATION OF PEAKS A Theory as to the Formation of Mountains. Revelstoke is a typical city of the mountains, whose grandeur cannot but deeply appeal to all wbo pass through her gates. As we live in the mountains, it is always interesting to know the newest speculations of scientists aa to bow they were formed. Here is one of the latest theories as to their milking, written by J, 0. Vandyke and published in Scribner's Magazine: "In recent years theories of mountain formation bave changed like everything else scientific. The ancient belief tbat the mountains were the 'muscles' or the 'backbone' of the continents never was scientific at any time. Instead of being au extra layer of rock that binds the continents together, they are the ragged edges of the cracks in the mueoniy, or folds in the crust, or extru .ions of the interial matter through the cracks. Tbey are points ol the crust's weakness rather than its strength. The new theories bark back to tbe original formation of the earth. Tbe conception of a hot drop of a world swinging in space, gradually cooling and forming a shell as smooth as a billiard ball, bas been partly abandoned. Tbe nebular hypo thesis has been modified, tbe so-called meteoric hypothesis has been found inadequate; and tbe more plausible planetessitnal theory of Professor Chamberlain and Salisbury has been put forth. 1 he latest theory argueB the forma- tion of tbo world by gradual accretions from planetary bodies It assumes the origin of our solar system in a common epirul nebula—the nebula I; ing in a thin solid or liquid stale, a. suggested by the spectrum analysis of it The knots ur portions of the ueb. a showing the most concentration .it the nuclei of future plauels, and tb thinner haze the poriiotm from which the knots are formed. All these knots move about the central muss (thu sun) in elliptical orbits of considerable ccn- tricity. The planetessiiiials are gathered in, and through accretion form such u world as ours, hy the crossing of the elliptical orbits in lhe course of their Inevitable shifting*. The theory deduces several stages or periods in the formation of lhe earth. (1) Separation of the material of the earth Irom the parent nebula. (2) Condensation of the rock matter into a molten spbciiod through accessions of materials and increased bent. (3) Solidification of the molten sphcriod ut the centre of the outer edge. (4) (ileal vulcanic action following solidification of the crust, (6) Periods ol atmospheric uud liydrnBplieric action over volcanic action. rpHREE Furnished Rooms lo let, J_ suitable for housekeeping, or In lei singly, terms moderate, separate entrance.
