REBUILDING COMMENCES At Fernie—In a Week Business Will be Resumed—Most Per feet Organization for Relief —Insurance Claims. Fkknik, Aug, 7—The work of relieving diatress ia woll organized. As carloads of supplies arrive they are takeu to the new kitchen and reliel quarters no the school grounds and are lieing diatrihuted only aB required. There ia the moat perfect organization for relief, the maintenance of order and the disposal ol cash. Only one case of sickness wsb reported today. Thia ia of typhoid fever a patient in the St. Eugene Hospital, Cranbrook. What are supposed to be the remains of three men were brought in today in a bucket. A skeleton was found near the Elk Lumber Company's mill and waa immediately taken to she cemetery and buried. The work of rebuilding the town has already started. Fifteen carloads of lumber arrived today and every man wbo could drive a nail ia at work Tbe new 0.1'.R. station was started yes terday morning and is almost ready for occupation. P, Burns, of Calgary, is here sizing Up the situation, and let the contract for a new shop, to be built in mediately. The .Bank ol Commerce will start tomorrow in a temporary building pt the rear of its lot. It will have an architect examine the foundation of tlie burned building to ace if it ia safe to build on. , Other small buildings arc being rushed up, and in leas than a week business in many lines will lie resumed. A safe expert today opened 15 safes. and the contents of twelve were found all right. None nf the bank sates have yet been opened, or in the principal business houses, as they are too hot yet. As far us can be ascertained in conversation with business men, nearly all will rebuild and resume business as soon as the insurance is adjusted. Exaggerated reports ate being sent out in rig ud to the lire at Coal Creek The men were called out. but. only as a precaution iigiiinst tire, which was coming up the hill. President Lind aey leports that the mines arc not in danger. Mr Sherman, of the Miners' Union, also states that there is no danger and all the members sre being wr-H provided Ior. ti. Stanley Rees arrived Ibis alter noon wilh a carload of supplies from Calgary, just what was required in the way nf clothing, bedding, etc. A persistent report lias been current aince the beginning of the Elk Valley contlagration that the major number of insurance companies are protected from paying the claims of the fire sufferer- by a buah fire clause in the policies. It ii gratifying to learn that all companies 10 the B. C. Mainland Underwriters' association, who are thus protected, bave agretd to overlook thia clause and, furthermore, will waive all the usual technicalities. A number of local officeB have been burning the midnight juice in the preparation of the "proolB of loss," and are intent on allowing a typically western spirit by paying the clainiB with aa much despatch aB a due amount of caution will allow. Whether outside ofiices will refuse to overlook the buah fire clause, which exempts certain companies from reimbursing fire aulTorers who loae their effects aa a direct or indirect result of a buah fire, remains to be seen.

The company has made no effort bo far to operate the big local shops, and as practically every machinist ia a union man and loyally responded to the call to strike, it must be Borne days before the company can got together any temporary force. Reports received from various western divisional centres show tbat all union men obeyed the headquarters call without question. At Moose Jaw, Swift Current, Medi- cinejHat. Reveletoke and other west- ei'n points the company has endeavored to keep the shops open. They are bringing in gangs of Japanese from off sect ion work, but there ia not enough skilled labor to leaven the mass. Both sidca are atanding pat, each apparently waitinc* for the other to make a move before allowing their hand. The hope of the men lies iu tlie prospect of trainmen, including engineers, firemen and conductors joining them, and these are expected by the strikers to inform the company in the course of a few days that they cannot con tinue to operate trains which have not beeu properly inspected. Much there, fore depends on the trainmen, but even without their assistance the strikers themselves expresa confidence of winning. Locally mattera are progressing quietly and there has been nothing in the way of a disturbance of any sort. The strikers are determined that out-idere Bhall uot be brought in to work in the shops here and are using all their influence to prevent those that have come in from remaining. Meetings are lieing held daily in Selkirk hall, but as yet there has been no demonstration of any description. The C,P.R. is said to have already had assurance of all it needs in the Old Country and the United Stales to man its shops. There is nothing in the Statute books to prevent importing all the men it requires Irom the Old Country. The Alien Labor Law would prevent tho engagement ol men under contract io the United States, but thia ia easily got round and unless the company's expectations miscany, it will have nn trouble in filling the strikers' places. CITY COUNCIL Lawn Sprinkling Restrictions- Campbell Ave. Improvements -The regular meeting of the city council was held last night, with Mayor Lindmark and Aldermen Foqte, Stone, Sawyer, Lefeaux, and Woodland, present. Minutes of the previous meetings were read and adopted. COMMUNICATIONS From F. W. Terry, acting chief of police, reporting fire alarms O.K., but aeveral house boxes lieing out of order and subsequently repaired.—Filed. From the acting chief of police reporting on the alarms of fire at the C.l' R. section house near the shops, and at the Molsons Bank.—Filed. From the superintendent of the power house reporting on the operation of the light and power plant for July. The report stated that tbe plant had been working satisfactorily, and that both light and power dynamos were O. K. The load was increas ing on the power dynamo, which was now about 10 k.w. The lighting plant ran a total of 325 hours, generating 17.320 k.w.—Filed. From T F. Sinclair in connection with the bond for the contract for the sewerage construction. Mr. Sinclair stilted that in hia opinion tho bond was correct. The city claim that they ire not liable for the premiums for more than $2,000, which bond was to bind Mr. Sinclair to enter upon the contract if the aowerage doboTrlures are Bold, and not on the full amount when the work was dune. A reply to that effect will be sent to Mr. Sinclair. From J. H. Jackaon, city auditor, reporting on tbe accounts and books of tho city ollice to the end of July and stating that the accounts wero in excellent shape and order and rellected Supt. T. Kilpatrick to havo the 0 1\R. right-of-way Irom the main line, along the Smeller apur on Campbell Ave. to 2nd Street, cleared and all ubatrin - tioiiB and unsightly objects removed. The bv-law authorizing the borrow- ing of the sum uf $13,000 Irom the Molsona Bank to meet the current legal expenditure of the city for 1908, before the reveuuo from the taxpayers becomes due, was read the third timo and passed with the unanimous consent of the council. The mayor said that owing to the fact that the city ollice work waB a long way behind, he had asked Mr. Floyd to remain a month to assist, iu the work until it wa. caught up with. A resolution to this effect was p-iased by the council. Aid. Foote said that there waB too much water being used on gardens and lawns, and that the city tanks were nearly empty which was a serious! condition in case .if lire, this dry weather. He urged lhat the people be informed that all sprinkling must atop except between 7 aud 9 p.m. The council recognising tbat a shortage of water now would be a dangerous con. tingency in case of lire, resolved that measures be taken to stop unnecessary sprinkling. The council also agreed that the superintendent of the water works be instructed to keep a check on the man who sprinkles tho streets and to see that no more water iB used than neceasaty and that, such sprinkling ia to be stopped it deemed advisable. A deputation from residents outside the city limits, near the south track, waited on the Council to kgow what waa to he done regarding tbe water pipe in their vicinity. The mayor said that au inch pipe weuid le put in from Swan Carlson's house to the city limits. The question of scavenging was brought up and a settlement with W. Fleming arranged for. Tbe accounts were passed and the meeting terminated.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1908 CIVIC EXPENDITURE 1 onsiderable interest is being evinced over the striking ol the tux rate and in what measure the city has fulfilled its first intention of cutting out all municipal work, except where urgent cull.- make such work necessary. Although the public express objection nt the expenditure of their bard-earned money without any real tangible result, yet it ir a very ilillictilt matter to determine ui the beginning ot the financial year that no .-treet or other work will he done, and thut expenditure generally will he cut down. Ar the year advances, little side issuer :• j. ';;s which must In- done ind •.... i ouncil are between two ob- •■■ vi fires; their resolution noi to givi ini i • ■-1 ry request fur public work mi their duty towards an ■ ver-gr iwing city Tin' public bave t ,-ery right tn object against iheii money Wing used for anything that will not he ii permanent v. irk and in be taxed foi some- ■ og ..f which nothing will he left in .1 few years. We believe th.it tht i' ;i,. i. bave Borne humane traits oi character a- to realize lhat our citizens bave other <-:i 1 Is- on their pockets besides those which emanate from the city treasurer. The public un- looking ior a reduction in their taxes and trusting lo the Council that by the keeping down of civic expenditure this year this will he an accomplished fact. We are glad to see that u start liar been made with the water antl that that burden on tbe city has heen materially reduced. On the other hand a growing city necessitates a large expenditure, hut the asuesi)- ment of ratable property which is increasing year by year should counterbalance much expenditure antl in a measure leave a free opening for the people to enjoy a little easy living, at the same time giving tlie rising antl coming generation an opportunity to share in tlie beautifying of the city. Permanent public works Bhould he the aim of tlie Council. TlIK GARDEN OF SLEEP It is gratifying to see that the city council, in their endeavors to benelit the citizens and the living, hnve not forgotten the respect duo to tlie dead, in tbat they have been taking active steps to clean up the cemetery uml make, it us neat and tidy as a place of thai description ahould be. A grave yard is a depressing spot al lhe best of tinier, hul doubly so when the grass grows lung ami rank, the paths by long neglcol become covered in weeds, the very lomb .-toner that, mail; llie lasl resting place of those dear to ies, allowed lo fall over anil decay. The loasl we can do ir to make our cemetery neat antl clean ami show lhat we respect the dead. The motive in Ihir respect should he mure apparent among our people, ilu- sentiment which lingers toward the departed may he made even a pleasure ii we take pains to refresh the environment where they are sleeping their long sleep. Now that the city council hnve sel tbe example, the people too should follow it up and make our cemetery a spot whore our care and respect for the dead can be seen, a spot which should he typical nf neatness and not a mournful decaying wilderness. REVELSTOKE APPLES Elsewhere in ihir isrite will be seen an announcement of the Na- lionnl Apple Show at Spokane. Wash . on December 7th to 12lh. Tbe exhibition will practically eclipse every previous one In reason of the fact that the prizes offered are the highest on record, This ir perhaps the greatest exhibition of its class on the continent, and fruit growing an an industry will he demonstrated to such ex- lent as to include even section ,'" here. A the working class «ith a consciousness ol their victimization hy capiul because of its niituiiil concentration hy the form of production—labor nature. The discovery and application ot these forces have lieen the menus hy which labor is robbed of its product through n competitive system, which pits laborer against laborer, and while the workers scramble tor the jobs offered by capital, the capitalists swipe, the product. I want particularly to call your atten tion to the word natural as used here. Hundreds of ninnies arc extant, gi.- ing analyses of the origin anil develop nieiu ul capitalist production; the revolutionary period that ushered it in by tlie iiverllitow of Feudalism which in lurn o.>k the place of production by ancient chattel slavery. Now h knowledge of these social processes is essential to an understanding of the inevitable outcome of tlie pret- f nt social conditions Tbey Icive already caused a somewhat dirtni'iied slate Of affairs as we observe. Bul the Socialist, instead ol punching the inoffensive atmosphere full of holes in protest against the great capitalists, us do the squeezed out middle clatsS, go about calmly giving a scientific analysis of capitalist produotion of the impossibility of its existence under much greater concentration of its inability of meeting social needs of its enslavement of the Inmiau race ami call upon the working class to take control of production to the end that the producers of wealth may appropriate th ir product I in possible !

ROBINS IN THE SOUTH Louisiana Adopts a Law to Save Them. Providence Journal : The statement lins been nimle anil not contradicted, that in past winters ns many ns a million robins have been killed in Enuisuuii alone, partly fur food, partly in order to protect growing fruit. Tbere was obviously need of a law for tbeir protection; and through the unwearying efforts of the Aububon society such a law has at last been enacted hy the Louisania legislature. Hereafter this warfare upon one of the most ti-iefii! as well «s most attractive songbirds must cease. Had it gone unchecked, its victims might in time have become ns rare as tlie bobolinks now are. For in the case of migrating birds it is nut enough that they should be protected in their breeding haunts; irreparable damage may be done during the periods of migration nr when they are in winter quarters. Few birds deserve better treatment of the human race than tbe thrushes, to which family our misnamed robin belongs, Tbo accusation, that they eat small fruits is, of course, true. But the amount of destruction thus wrought is easily exaggerated, and what there is may bo largely averted by a few simple precautions. On the other hand, the robin is probably more valuable to the farmer than almost any other single bird. It is a constant forager for insects which the farmer finds it most difficult to control and it destroys obnoxious caterpillars in great abundance. Moreover, there is reason to believe that the robin prefers wild fruits to cultivated; if these be reasonably abundant, it will let the gardens alone. Its diligence in hunting its insect, food is a matter of common observation; note how it runs across the lawn or gaiden digging up and eating pestiferous cutworm. A careful scientific examination of its diet justifies the conclusion that it should be protected by law. There are other southern stateB where leeislation like that secured in Louisiana is needed. The north has not been guiltless in its treatment of the songbirds, but an enlightened public sentiment has aecomplished much for their protection. The shooting of robins in this state, for examp'e has lieen practically suppressed by the imposition ol heavy fines upon offenders. The word should go forward vigorously so long as there are wretches who destroy the feathered friends of man.

A series Of interesting remarks (rum the aldermen and ix aldermen on tbe Oity of Revelstoke, brought nut some isllnut features of the progress of tlm oity. .1, Abrahamson reviewed the water und light plant, as u great asset, to the city as well aa a revenue producer. The various city olli ills prusmil spoke at. more or leas length on city development ami all teaiilying their appreciation ol the gisid work that Mr Fluyd had done and how valuable bis services bud lieen to Kevelstoke and how the citizens gener • Ily regrei his departure Mr. F,eld, as eily assessor, said thai there wus un increase this yiar in valuation of $600,000. Aid. Foote read a letter from F. II. Lewis expressing regret at not being able to attend the banquet, but on behalf of the Hoard of Trade he expressed regret at Mr. Floyd's departure and wished him all future success. F\ 11. Guft'ey on being called upon to tell something about the Rig Bend, said that there was a great future before it, in timber, lands and minerals. He urged that transportation be secured there and pointed out that the development would bo enormous if that were done. He vehemently claimed that height rates up the Bend were practically prohibitive and were retarding commerce, and there was urgent necessity fur cheaper trans- imitation, firstly round Death and Priest Rapids and then oo the upper Columbia. The development of the llend would materially benelit Revelstoke and make it a big rich city. The country was rich and Revelatoko was its natural headquarters and must ol necessity develop as well. C. R. Macdonald responded to the toast of the Agricultural Asaociation. The Board of Trade, Press and ither city toasts were all ably responded to, thu sentiment uf Mr. II Floyd's di pai I lire and his Unqualified value to the city during his term ot city clerk being the main theme in each case. 11 Floyd said that be felt leaving Kevelstoke deeply and hud done all he could to make the city progress.
