One of the most distressing accidents that has ever occurred in tbis vicinity took place on Sunday morning, resulting in the loss ol one life and tbe narrow escape of another. It appears that Bert Whitehouse and Sam Carmichael bad left the city early on Sunday morning on a duck shooting expedition down the south track. Reaching four-mile camp tbe two struck into the bush for Four- mile lake which is about a mile Irom the C.P.K. track. On reaching the lake they saw some ducks on the water aud shot at them, wounding one. Seeing a boat on tbe bank, they launched it and got in paddling out through the ice towards tbe wounded bird, which they then finally dispatched. Tbe boys now paddled on towards tbe opposite bank of the slough, through the ice which was about hall an inch thick. By this time the boat was leaking badly and filling with water rapidly, and White- bouse stepping to one side caused it to lurch violently and take in water. Getting alarmed, and probably thinking tbat she was sinking, Whitehouse jumped out into deep water, although he was unable to swim. Carmichael, seeing his friend's danger, jumped out too and got hold ol him and tried to swim to the shore with bis burden but wae unable to get through the ice. Carmichael then tried to pull White- house back to the boat and succeeded in dragging bim near, although the boat, water-lodged, was drifting away again to the middle of the slough. Alter a manful effort Carmichael got up to the boat and in order to secure it was forced to let go his hold of bis fiiend who by this time was numbed witb cold and well nigh exhausted. As soon as the supporting hand of the swimmer let go, Whitehouse sank but Carmichael quickly grabbed on to the s-trapB of his game bag in order to pull him above the surface again. Unfortunately the bag came away and tbe body sank to tbe bottom. Carmichael who was pretty well done up with cold and with bis plucky efforts to save bis friend, bad just enough strength left to get ashore and hasten to the nearest camp to break tbe news, leaving an Italian who came up just as tbe accident bad happened, and who could not swim and so could not render aid, to point out to the men where the body lay under water. Carmichael who stood by at tbe camp, after getting his clothes dried, to see if the Coroner would bold an inquest, went home to regain warmth aud circulation to his chilled limbs. The body was then conveyed to tbe undertaking parlors of K. Howson A Co. Tbe deceased was only 1G years of age and popular among bis friends in the city, being employed, as was Car micbiiel, at the mill of the Bowman Lumber Co. We learn that death was probably caused nut so much by actual drowning an by the sudden shock tu the heart from the effects uf icy cold water. Carmichael, who if of considerably smaller stature than bis fiiend,yet tbe same age, deserves great credit for the plucky manner In which he attempted to savo his friend's life in spite of tbe tremendous odds against bim. Mrs. Whitehouse has been prostrated at tbe loss ol her son and the ar.ii.. ii', baa cuusod widespread sympathy for tue mother and relatives. The deceased is half brother to Mrs. O. 0, 1'. I'.ivis aud Mrs. 0. I). Hume. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon Irom tbe lam ily residence, the jtev. C. A. l'rocunier olliciuting at the service. The remains were followed to tbe cemetery by a large number ol friends ul the deceased's family. The Mail-Hkkai.ii joins with the many friends in expressions of sympathy Ior the bereaved mother aud relatives. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT Three Lives Lost in Train Wreck Caused by Washout The heavy .thaw of the lust few days was the cause of a serious accident early on Tuesday morning, near Lytton, resulting in the loss of three lives. It seems that a large section of the C. P. R. track overlooking the Fraser rivor had beeu washed out, the slides of is iter and mud fiom tbe bills above belli : responsible for the damage. A west bound freight ran into tbe debris before the engineer was aware of the danger, the locomotive and several hox cars being precipitated into the swirling current below. Engineer G. Brown was pinned down beneath his engine and met death instantaneously, while Fireman Ryder was caught among the debris and scalded to death by escaping steam, after lingering in untold agony. The head brakeman, Ole Anderson, suffered severe injuries to which he succumbed late last night at Kamloops. The body of the unfortunate engineer was recovered yesterday and taken into Kamloops. SUICIDAL DEATH Haas, Who Shot Mr. F. J. Heney Shoots Himself in Prison San Francisco, Nov. 17.—Morris Haas who shot Francis J. Heney yesterday, committed suicide at the county jail by shooting himself thru' the head. Oue report says that the pistol with which he shot himself was concealed in a shoe, where he hid it before shooting Mr. Heney. Another report says tbe pistol was secretly passed to bim by a friend since bis incarceration. Calmed by tbe assurance tbat Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney, who was shot yesterday in Judge Lawlor's courtroom while in the performance of bis duty, is to recover from bis wound, unless some untor- seen condition develops, public opinion was turned today toward the formulation of concrete expression of a determination to continue with the trial of those indicted on charges of municipal corruption, in the prosecution oi which Mr: Heney has been the dominant character. Several leading attorneys ol the city bave volunteered to take up Mr. Heney's work as a matter ol publio duty and carry it to a conclusion. C.P.R. STRIKE AFTERMATH Mechanics Demand Leaders' Resignation WINNIPEG, Nov. 17.—As an aftermath of the recent Canadian Pacific mechanics' strike, tbe union has demanded the resignation ol Bell- Hardy and J, H. McVety, the two men who arranged the settlement here hy which the men returned to work. Much dissatislaction existed at that time and since, the men claiming that it was a practical surrender and some ol them accusing their leaders ol having betrayed tbeir interests. When asked if his resignation had been asked for Mr. Hardy stated that it had not and said: " My union has not asked for my resignation, but I bave handed it iu, and it will take effect immediately on election ol my successor " Imperial Press Conference Loniion, Eng., Nov, 17—The executive committee of the Imperial press oonlerence to he held in London in June I'.ni'.i, have mailed invitations lo the proprietors and editors ol newspapers in various parts ol thu Empire t; ask that representatives be dieted to the conference iu such a monnor hs they themselves would doom most likely to remit in the gathering being truly representative of the interests ol tbe Empire.

In opening the meeting the chairman explained the reason of the delay of several delegates iu arriving and inged that as tbn business before the convention was very heavy, the discussion should he concise and brief.

A r. solution was passed that tbe convent mn extend to Inspector Stewart, A. O Scott, superintendent uf Calgary, and J. M. Fowler. Wetaskiwin, a cordial invitation to fully participate in all discussions and deliberations of the institute. Tba chairman then read the opening address as follows : CHAIRMAN'S ADDKKSS Revelstoke, Nov. 0, 11I0S. GENTLEMEN :—In consenting to deliver a chairman's address at this convention, 1 can assure you that I did nut only take into consideration tlie luck of ability on my part, but alsu to OStablith a precedent fur the chair-, n an to deliver an addle s al nil future meetings. Before proceeding to give you my report as obairman of your committee which was authorised to apprbaoh the Government with all passed resolutions, I would beg leave tu call your attention to the gnat number of rest humus that have been passu! fn the (our previous meetings of this Association; many of ihem very Important to the gentlemen who advocated then many uf them of great i.iipol tanoc to the several localities that would I hn,iii id by tin in, hut nevertheless yuu may have noticed by our report, thit il is only the large issues, thul when placed belore the Government, hive iiceivcd proper consideration. Ibesc local issues mid resolutions hnve, nevertheless, bud tlieir place in our meetings, and I think it is well to discuss that pait ol our educations! i vr'i'in when wc meet in convention I would strongly urge upon you the necessity if psssiug a few resolutions as possible, anil instead ol wasting uur lime and energy iu this way, devote it to the method ol oureduoational system as a whole. To illustrate thi' value one locality mny receive Irum another, and the energy shown by one locality in particular, I would refer lo the excellent photograph that the llevelstnke School Hoard piesenled to us in New Westminster, in Ootober. M'07. The result to New Westminster alone has been tho beautilying nnd arranging of the Central School grounds, an enterprise that we ap- proiiobid with (ear and trembling because o[ the expense, which has lieen Iii the neighborhood ol |l,fioo, but i can assure you that, during the tune the work was under construction, we received nothing but encouragement fu in every citizen who spuko to us upon the subject during thn time the work was being done. I believe it is the duty of every school hoard to make the conditions surrounding their schools as lieaiitiful as possible, as it is in itself an education to our young.

Now that the Dominion elections are over the citizens who are interested in civic affairs are beginning to discuss mutters pertaining to lhe municipal elections which will be held next January. In some sections of the city active canvassing for municipal candidates is said to have been quietly going on for some time though the partis concerned in this work when approached on the subject, insisted that it is altogether too early to talk definitely on the matter of their candidacy. A round oi informal interviews makr- it reasonably certain that there wiil be more candidates fur mayor next January than 1ms been the case in a number of years, and tiiere will be no lack of candidates for alJermanie honors. It is probable, however, tiiat by the time nomination day comes round a number of would-be aspirants to the "seatsof the mighty," will drop out of the running from one or more causes, 'I'he past year has seen a marked improvement in the meth oils adopted by the council in civic administration wbicb 1ms shown ;•- v.w i- in rs-iiit-. although there are always a certain few in any Community wi.'' i 'inplain mul criticize on principle.

Apropos of the sad drowning accident on .Sunday morning last there comes the realization that lhe art of swimming has been sadly neglected in the everyday courses of instruction of our children. When cities and homes are situated near rivers, lakes or even streams there is always the latent danger of drowning accidents to be considered. The knowledge of swimming is as essential to every man, woman or child as any other art that they may acquire. Rarely does the importance of this accomplishment occur to individuals until sonic calamity has happennd ami il is n common phase of everyday life tb.it n community learns their lessons :it the expense of one or two- It is almost incredible (lie number of persons who arc employed on our inland waters who cannot swim, and we would suggest that this be made a strong point where men are engaged for river or lake service, it is useless for us to shut our eyes to the urgency of the case and we must be fully alive to a situation that calls for action being taken. How many of our boys and girls perhaps, let alone the men and women who make a pastime out of boating or of fishing near our rivers and lakes, and who could, if emergency called save their own lives and the lives of others when jeopardized. We venture to state but a few only. Swimming should be taught to every boy and girl m the community where possible, ami classes could very well be organized at our own y.M.C.A. where tlie art could be laugin. This is a i-uestion not to be lightly considered anil "lie which should appeal to every parent and to our community in general. a year ago resulted in somewhat conservative Christmas buying, but there is a much freer feeling this year, especially at country points.

If old Pioneer Tapping with his heap big heart and great big opera bouse, would give us one heap big nigbt to eat our slapjacks, fried ba-un, tea and entree, we could have a swell time. All old timers male and female who have lived in Kootenay for 1_ yeara would be eligible.

TRUSTEES CONVENTION Continued from PagnOne For Sale DryJ cedar, cord wood—Revelstoke General Agencies, Ltd. with the Government in tbs House ol Parliament, Victoria, when we placed the resolutions paused at the lust convention befure them. We have bad great pleasure in presenting to the Government all resolutions passed at all former conventions, and especially of the resolutions passed at Nelson, 1 can assure you thai although we were well received in pre senting our Nelson resolutions, tha> we lelt on this our second occasion of approaching tbe Government, thai they had commenced to appreciate the value of this Association, and they did everything in their power to assist us, and all that was said by us or by the Government wae taken by the Gov ernment stenographer. 1 cannot give too much oredit to your delegation, for the manner in which tbey placed the resolutions before the Government, particularly when it came to a discussion of free text hooks being supplied by the Government. From the amount of statistics that the Hon the Provincial Secretary had before him, we could see that lie bad gone to considerable trouble to become thoroughly posted upon the Depart ment of Education. Too much credit cannot be given to our secretary, for the able manner in which be placed printed reports and statistics belore tho meeting, and which I can assure you were a great factor in tbe Government's decision lo make tbe test of issuing a portion of text books free. Iu tbis connection I might quote tbe remarks of the MP. for Richmond —Mr. Carter Cotton, who said: "Gentlemen, I can assure you that in the statistics you bave placed before us you have removed from my mind a great deal ol fear as to tbe expense oi issuing free text books to the Province and further I am sure that the Government consider the Association of 8cbool Trustees of this province, sup pleiuciitary and complimentary to them, and I for one might add, that any further legislation in connection with school matters, we would consider your association a proper authority to consult with on the subject. Speaking upon this matter we took the liberty to re d the excellent letter from Maxwell Smith of the Burnaby school board on the subject of free text books, and it was regretted very much tbat be was not , resent with us. Now, gentlemen, as to the result of tbe presentation ol these resolutions, and the work of tbe past meetings of tbis association? I beg leave to call your attention to three important concessions from the Government, which we can properly claim originated from us. I refer in the first place to tbe founding of the University of B. C. Second, the commencement of the distribution of free text books to the schools of the province, wbioh was started at the beginning of tbis school term. Third, the supplying ol flags to the schools. I see that the program calls for a resolution on the subject, "That we disapprove of the order to trustees and teachers, re flag, dated July, 1908, that we strongly maintain the school board's insistance of tbe use of the Canadian Ensign." I hope during the discussion that we will inquire into the matter, as to whether it was an order or not, and pass no resolution on the subject that would place us in a false position. If you look at the report of our convention held in Nelson, in February 1907, you will see that a resolution was passed, "That a clause be inserted in the School Act making it compulsory to fly the Canadian llag on all school buildings during school hours. Now, in the supplying of the Union Jack, we cannot say tbat the Government bas not supplied a Canadian Hag The question comes down to the trustees aud lo tbe several school boards, to select or Bee which of the Canadian flags they will fly. As far aB my information goes the Government has not made it compulsory to fly the Union Jack, but when approached upon the subject by the New Westminster sohool board informed them that they could fly any flag they desired. Id tbe face of such evidence as this, I cannot see how we can pasB any resolutions savoring of ceuoure to the Government, on this suhject. Another subject I would like to call the attention of the several school boards to is, the value ol starting a banking system in each school witb tbe scholars. 1 believe tbat Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster all bave iheie banks iu operation. I am sure you will agree witb mc that the lesson ol thrift to tbe scholars and others, nut the accumulation ol wealth can well be considered by the school boaids, who aie parents in trust of the childn n during their school days. II you will allow me, I will give you a short history ol its commencement About torty years ago, a gentleman in Belgium, hy his will left an amount of money that was to be given to the person who would write the host essay and give tbe beet plan Ior the elimination of poverty amongst tbe people. Tbe judges ol these essays unanimously agreed on the one who wrote the essay and gave tbe plan ol the School Banking System. This idea was brought to America and inaugurrted in Long Island by Mr. T. H. Tbirley, and has been in operation for tbe last eighteen years. The last report was that tbe school children ol the United States bave deposited in their banks, between six and seven million dollars. To the members of tbis Association and trustees assembled, I pledge myself, in tbe event of your decision to start a Havings Bank in your locality to send you a copy of all neceBsary books for the organisation, I notice with pleasure that we are to be addressed hy representatives Irom the Alberta Trustees Association, I hope that this is a commencement ol the movement of the four great western provinces to unite for tbe purpose of printing and supplying tu the people the school text books Ireo. It may be the starting point ol de parture from present methods of education. It is apparent tlmt the most progressive of the nation go Wesi, and I believe it is up to the people of the sve6t to break away from tho present system, and inaugurate a system of education suitanle to tlie conditions and requirements of the people; that is tn say, that we must break sway from endeavoring to give our young ari education with ninety per cent of matter that may be of no use to them in after life, when they go out and compete tor a living with tlieir fellows: If you study the question for a moment, you will see that all our education leads up to the entrance work for universities, and educates tlie Btiuient in tbe direction of the professions Only ten per cent of the Bt" lonts cmtinue this course. Therefore, I claim that more attention should he given to tbe education of the ninety per cent. In th' words of a writer in one of our mag /.incs, 1 lind that the idea has been i' Iter expressed than I have been able i do it: "Sinoe au over whelming majority of children will never receive any more education than they get in the elementary schools,the proper elementary school should be, uot a link in a chain, a preparatory department of the high school, but a complete thing in itself, a complete education of a very practical nature. Its object would be to educate children, not for a world of culture and professional attainment, but for a world of industrial pursuits." Since a great majority of high school pupils leave the high school between tbe ti at and third year to enter business or the trades, a truly democratic high school would provide short practical business and trade courses for tbat majority. It might be that we pay more attention to the health conditions of tbe pupils and teachers; that we might pay more attention to the raising of healthy-minded and healthy-bodied men and women; that we pay more attention to the subject "More building up of tbe body and less building up of tbe brain" This idea improperly put aa it may be, I believe if followed, would bring about decided changes in tbe life of our men and women. Why Bhould the Government not supply night schools ? Ninety per cent, who are learning their trade or business. If it was an established rule tbat the student bad the privilege of night schools, when he selected his trade or profession, you would readily Bee how the present overburdened curriculum would be reduced. While on this subject I beg leave to quote to you a few paragraphs from the Western Canada Medical Journal for October, 1908, and commencing at Page 462. Report ol the teaching of Hygiene by tbe British Columbia Medical Association. The committee were; Ur. W. I). Brydone-Jack, Conveyer, Vancouver; Dr. R. L. Frazer, Victoria; Dr. G. E. Drew, New Westminster. After a summary of the education office reports on what is being done in the curriculum in our publio and High schools along the subjects of Hygiene aud Physiology, tbey say, I where so little has been done along these lines in B. C. the details of the scheme must be worked out, and the lirst step would be to have the Education Department appoint a medical man on its staff, whose duty it would be to inaugurate a system of instruction fn our public, High and Normal schools, and act as an advisor to the department. Dr. Fagan, onr Provincial Medical Health OUicer, in bis recent address to the teachers of B. C. Btatea that the scope of tbe Soience of Hygiene as a preservation and promotion of human life, its task therefore consists, first of ail in the prevention, restriction, and removal of sickness aud disease, and the prolongation ot the individual's life. Human life is reducible to a cash basis, incapacitating illness ol the individual is a temporary monetary loss to the Province and the public, and tbe death ol tbe individual a permanent loss. The Province having made education compulsory, cannot divest itself of the responsibility of taking reasonable precautions to ensure that the conditions under wbicb the children were instructed, should not bo such as to disseminate infeotuous diseases or pruduce physical deterioration. Dr. W. Old ..right, Professor of Hygiene in Toronto, proves that the death rate ol male and female teachers is considerable above the death rule in all other occup .tbns. The report also says, "We, ns physicians, ought to work together to secure better conditions in our Public Schools. A moro up-to-dato system <if teaching Hygiene then has prevailed heretofore aud this we can only do by putting aside selfish motives, and working together for the benefit and uplifting ol the human race. One writer puts the results ol the present education aB follows: Our present ill-advised system ol education, is constantly defeating its own ends, and turning out invalids, cranks, and book-lull block heads, igoorantly read, simply fur the want of a well-balanced currioulum of instruction, an appropriate plaoe to physical education. Now, gentlemen, and fellow trustees, I think I have said enough on the subject to prove to you tbat it is necessary to tako up this more practical subject and I would recommend that before this Convention disperses that we tako into conaideration the appointment of a committee to join with a committee from the Medical Association of B. C. and approach tbe Government in earnest. As the medical men have, said in their report, Ibis can only hu done hy putting aside all Hellish motives and working together for the benelit and uplifting of ths human race. I hope yuu will agree with mu as to the necessity of a code of rules and regulations for the guldanoe of these Conventions, particularly as to the membership. I would suggout that it be made legiil for any trustee of the Province, to become a member nnd remain a memqer, as long ns tbey may hold offlce in I li is. Association, I would also suggest a clause respecting proxies, "That nu proxy be allowed except that proxy bo a school trustee, as it is possible for teacher or person with a supposed grievance againsl tin' Government, making use of this Association to nil'or get even with thai grievance a condition of affairs that we Bhould do all In oui power to discourage. Before closing I beg leave to call your attention to the increased interest tiiKCii by tlie people of R. O. in ■educational matters, a state of affairs I am sure yuu will agree with mo is due to the New School Act passed hy the present Government. Unpopular as it was at the time it was passed, it has now proved itself to have been n wise measure. 1 am sure that you will agree me thut the time has now come when a Xorin.il and .Mo lei School should he established in the interior, und I am with Ihi'in, that the convention take this matter up. The thanks of this convention is also due the government for the printing of "Tlie Kirst Complete Report of Ibe British Columbia Sohool Trustees, With Bylaws," (abridged.) Also the printing of the program for this convention. Might I alsu impress upon you the necessity of the cities and rural districts benefited hy this association, contributing a linger yearly amount to cover the iiecssary expenses. I hope and believe the time is now come when the committee yon appoint to present your resolutions before the government should have their expenses paid, and the thanks of this association are due members of these committees, who in the post have dune their duty in this respect, at their own expense. And now before retiring from the Fosition of president of the association beg leave to thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me. I can assure you that it has been a pleasure to have acted with your executive and has added greatly to my interest in school matters, and I can also assure you that the assistance given on many occasions hy our secretary, Mr. J. J. Dougan, has lieen of great value and highly appreciated. Thanking you for your attention, and wishing you every success in this your fifth annual convention. P.

Being a business man who makes it his business to carefully investigate the resources of tho country through which he'ravels and the basis of the prosperity of the various cities he visits, this gentleman, after giving Revelstoke a careful study and investigating the resources tributary to this city, stated to us tbat he had never seen a town the size and age of Kevelstoke that he consideri il had brighter prospects.

A DAY IN A STORE The Job Not as Easy as It May Seem to Outsiders The position ol a Bales clerk in a store is by no means a Binecure and those who know find that they woik as hard us anyone else iu tbe city. The lollowing incidents are only a few of the many trials that a merchant or storekeeper has to put up with. You may think it a picnic tu he a grocery clerk, lt doesn't look to be very hard, but just wait until a crank comeB into the store with a fruwn on his face; next a taster who taster and prices for half un hour, and gets a good square meal and d ies not buy a cen'.'s worth. Then others come in and tell you how much cheaper other Btores are Belling groceries antl refute to trade with you unless you cut. Then comes an order over the 'phone thick aud fast iu a woman's high- keyed voice who rings off without giving her name. Jn an hour or two she rings you up again and asks why you haven't sent tho6P groceries. While you are explaining matters tu her in comes a man who sings off au order of Hour, potatoes, sugar, cul.ee, etc., and whu shouts out ol the door and down the street. If you haven't caught the urder you are expected to guess at it; then there is a roar. Next conies a man who wants credit. He haB trade I at other stores aud paid cash, but uowjiasa job where be gels his pay only every two weeks, then he has a email balance. Tbis keeps on fur awhile and finally his bill is all balance The next customer who comes in aud aBks for credit you politely asks where he traded last. He Bays: "I used to trade ut Mr. A.'e, but be cheated me, so 1 thought I would try you " '• Shall 1 call Mr. A. and ask him if you are all right ?" I ask, "No you needn't go to that trouble, he says "1 don't have to trade here,"' and he goes out aud slam the dour. Just to satisfy yoiuselfyou call up Mr. A. and And he owes $100. "Then there is this kind of a customer—a man who has always paid cash, who meets with reverses and asks you for credit. You can't turn him down, as he has been a good customer. Y'ou let him have the goods. The bill keeps growing larger and larger and finally gets so large the man goes elsewhere to trade. Then you are out again. "I have found tbat the man who owes the largest bill is the mau who can take in all the circuses, theatres and excursions, " Then there is the customer who ringsup just befure dinner and wants you to deliver a package ol yeast f'siin, thirteen blocks away at once. "Another thing we liave to contend with is the girl whu conies in to call up her sweetheart and talks for L'i or 20 minutes when our regular customers are waiting tu use the telephone.' POSTERS ON WALLS Comments on the Crude "High Art" Advertising Considerable controversy is mill going on in regard to the posters nn the walls. II such illuntiatinns are able tO shock tlm public mind, then Ilu re other forms uf such art In which thus people should take exception, Art in the general aciiaii of the word is thn portrayal ol nature us nlut is, and exception oaoOOt tn taken to that, although the many and varied crude rspressotatlona of art advertising frequently gfvo cause (or serious eum- ment.
