The volunteer forces throughout the country, celebrated their "last post" at their respective headquarters by dinners and other celebrations, the festi vities however, taking on somewhat of a sad character owing to the disappearance of the old association. An midnight struck, there wore stirring scenes as to who would be the first to enlist in tho new body, many hundreds being thus recruited, in some cases practically tbe whole regi meut took the new regimental title in the new force.

Brown Entertained by the Citizens of Revelstoke— Recipient of Handsome Present—Successful Function. Ex mayor H. A. Brown was lender- ed a farewell banquet on Thursday night at the Union Hotel Restaurant, by the citizens of Revelstoke on the occasion of Ilia departure from the city. Mayor Lindmark took the chair, there being a large, representative gathering of business and commercial men. After the company had partaken of the good things prepared for them, Mayor'Lindmark presented Mr. Brown with a handson e gold beaded umbrella on behalf of the citizens of Revelstoke. saying that Mr. Brown had had a long and honorable career in tbe city from the early days. He thanked him for valued services and said that the city bad been glad of them. Mr, brown had done his best for all and he was sorry that the hour ol parting with him had come. In roviewing the ollice of mayor, which the departing guest had filled in a capable and business like way, he exhorted the people to stand hy the nmyor and city council and help tbem in their work for the city's welfare. (Cheers.) H. Floyd expressed his regret that Mr. Brown was leaving and testified as to his ability and value ss a city official saying that tbe water and light plant, which was a valuable asset, was due to his energy and perseverance. The city was losing an able citizen and he asked all to give Mr. Brown the glad hand of parting. Mr. Brown, who was greeted with loud cheers, thanked all tor tbe gift. He reviewed his career in the oity and said that he was convinced from the lirst that Revelstoke would forge ahead out of the forest and stumps. He was confident of tbe city's success and urged tbe people not to be afraid of branching out and pushing. He aaid tbat although he bad not got along with everybody yet he had done what he conscientiously judged to be wlfat was beet lor Rev lstoke. He touched on the water and light system as the result of much controversy and some opposition in the early days. He pointed out that the city would be well looked alter by Mayor Lindmark, who was progressive aud energetic. He said that Mrs. Brown's health necessitated a change ol air and climate, and that tbey both needed a rest. He would always take a lively interest in the city and its progress and would entertain kind feelings for all and regretted that circumstances forced his departure, but that he would frequently return to visit his many friends. (Cheers.) W. H. Humphreye then gave an excellent rendering of " The Dear Homeland." The toast of tbe oity was responded by Aldermen Foote and Lefeaux, and Messrs. H. Manning, T. E. L. Taylor, J. Abrahamson snd C. M. Field, the letter touching on fruit growing here and pointing out that be raised every year a big basket full of "crabs." (Laughter.) Tbe speakers relerred to the city's progress and work and urged the people to keep busy and not take much stock of tbe dull times. Tbey regretted Mr. Brown's departure and wished him every success. \V. M. Lawrence in his usual humorous stylo gave a rendering ol "Tbe Laird o' Cockpeo." Tbe toast of tbe Schools was repon- ded to by F. Bourne, H. N. Coursier and O. Barber. Mr. Coursier said that the trustees regretted Mr. Drown,b departure testifying to bis qualities and abilities as a good citizen and civic official. Regarding the school he complained of the lack ol interest taken in tbe sobocls by the people and their non-appreciation ot the school business. Education was extremely important and deserved every encouragement. Tbe board did their best to obtain the best results. H. Manning and R. N. Doyle sIbo responded on behalf of the schools. G. Barber then sang "In the North Sea lived a whale." B. R. Atkins in reply to the toast of the Dominion, said that he as a Dominion serVhiit hid treated all parties alike as far as office and business work was concerned. He was prond to live in the west, which was God's eountry, and denied that limes were as bad as they were painted. He cited the ous torn returns as an instance, showing (or Revelstoke district lor year 11107-8 returns of $131,880, as against $60,000 of the previous year. He testified to Mr. Brown had bad considerable business in connection witb revenue work with him and he bad always found him a thorough business like man. (Cheers.) He hoped to see him back soon, W. M. Lawronco, W. Morris, J. H. slackson, C. Holten, J. P. McLennan, all responded suitably to the toast, Business and Industries, saying that Rovelstoke business was prospering in spite of dull times, They expressed their genuine regret at Mr. Brown's departure and wished him all euocess. Ho was a good business man, all round sport, and a good lighter for what ho wanted. Dr. Cross, in responding to the Professions, referred to Mr. Brown as onergelic in the prevention of cpi- demios in Rovelstoke. He referred to him ss a good all round man, and alluded to his faithful work in tho city's interests. In reviewing tho health of the city he eaid tbat there had been no bad infectious diseases but that during the past year over 100 cases ot berri-berri, an Oriental disease, had been treated here, but if properly bandied would never become prevalent and contagious for white peo le. He praised our pure water which was free from all taint H Cunningham Morris responded suitably to the "Press," saying that although this was a meeting of old timers, the newcomers wore just as responsible for tbe welfare of the city and should be given every encouragement to come in and settle down. Mr. Brown bad always been courteous to him when asked lor information about city business, for the newspapers and had done all he could to assist the local press. He wished him Ood speed and regretted hie departure Capt. R. Smith in replying to the toast of His Majesty's Forces, referred to Cupt. Brown ss a painstaking and capable officer and one who had done a great deal of good to the local militia. He complained that the public lacked interest in the militia and gave no moral support. He wanted the people to encourage the boys of the corps, and resented the fsct that some were deliberately knocking it. Lieut. Clarence Hart reviewed his career in the army, and expressed regret at losing Capt. Brown from tbe milit'a company. Berg. J. Donald sang the popular song "Honey Boy." Mr. Biown, as captain ol the local militia, reviewed his 35. years' experience in military work and said that tbe organizing of a local militia company had been hard work. He urged that the merchants encourage their I men to join the corps and rx hot ted the people to take more interest in such an important movement, which night means so much if any enter-' gency arose. Rifle shooting was eesen- tial. He said that Capt. Smith would make an efficient commanding officer, and concluded by thanking all piesent for their kindly expressions towards him and wished Revelstoke every success, promising to frequently revisit the city. (Cheers) The National Anthem brought a very successful and enjoyable function to a close. Presentation. A very pleasing incident look plate on Friday night io tbe band room, when T.

The end came so unexpectedly that the great crowd of 8,000 which witnessed the contest could scarcely comprehend what had happened. Hackenschmidt refused to explain his aotion to VV. W. Wittig, pro- motor of the match, simply shaking his head and refusing to reply when asked why he bad not surrendered merely the first fall and taken another chance with Gotch.

HINDOO NEWSPAPER Oriental Literature Reeking With Anglophobia Vancouver, April 8.—"The Free Hindusthsn" is the first Hindoo newspaper to be published en this continent and the doubtful honor ol being ita birthplace belongs to Vancouver. Number One, Volume One, has just been issued. It consists of lour two- column psges, 12 by 8, and for its size oontains rather more of venemoiis attack on Great Britain than the Gaelic-American of New York, a paper which tbinkt that day lost whose slow-descending sun sees no new charge brought against perfidious Albion. Its main theme, of course, is the ordcr-in-conncil which interferes with the (ree ingress of Hindoos—it is no ticeable that it Ib not charged that the regulation in question prevents it The remainder of the sheet is a recap itulation ol the wildest accusations which have been brought against Brit- ish administration in India and the repeated assertion that self-govern ment would cure all the ills of the body politic. So long as the circuls- tion of tho paper iB confined to British Columbia it iB not likely to do much harm, but it is hardly the kind of thing which will promote peace and' quietness among a people unaccus tomed to weigh evidence and sift arguments.

We refer to the suggestion of a man making his pile in this district and then leaving for Ileitis anil pastures new. We contend that if Revelstoke is good enough to make money in and to live in while that money is being made, it is then assuredly good enough to live in after the pile has been made, and it is certainly coming to tlie city to receive back a fair proportion of what has been taken out. Cities are not built in a day, and cities such as Revelstoke must exist on the circulation and turning over of money and the result would certainly be disastrous if every citizen aB Boon as a little money had been accumulated, took up his bed and walked. In touching on this matter, no one individual is pointed out, but the sentiment creates the suggestion. On the other hand also, people who roam from place to place when ever it gets a little dull around home, seldom accumulate much material wealth, while those who keep calm and stay in one place as a rule never have to prospect for a soup kitchen. There are hundreds of instances in this province of people getting rich by staying at home and developing the resources of their district while their neighbors chased fortune all over the West without ever getting close enough to the fickle dame to catch even a frozen smile.

SATLRDAV, APRIL 4, 1908 THK CITIZENS' OBLIGATION Apropos of the social gathering that met together on Thursday night last to " speed the parting'' guest, there is much that can be eaid in regard to the getting together of the citizens of Revelstoke and tbe great amount of good that such gatherings will do for the community at large. It is pleasing to see that the citizens as a whole feel genuine regret at the loss of Mr. Brown who has always had tbe inteieeu of the city at heart and who has been largely instrumental iu securing for municipal ownership tbe several assets and improvements in public utilities that we enjoy to-day. While the gathering on Thursday was in some respects a pain at tbe lose of a cititen, y.-t at the same- time it enabled the business and commercial men of Revelstoke to get together and enjoy a sociable evening as friends, an occasion when the cases of business could be forgotten. Citizens are far too prone to live their own lives in town without expanding the inter- social ideas out of business hours. Men would know each ether far better and understand each other more sincerely if they would only take every opportunity offered to fraternise outside of the commercial life. A quiet social evening will do much towards creating a more genial spirit in the city and enable men to talk and if necessary discuss questions that would never otherwise arise. A harmonious chord was struck on Thursday night, although a sentiment was circulated round the room which is' THE BOARD OK TRADE The Board of Trade, a most useful body ie, we regret, being allowed gradually to fade through lack of interest on the part of its member and those who should have public spirit enough to see that this body coming next to the city council in importance, Bhould be kept up to the mark and maintain its position as the mouth of the commercial public. There is no excuse for members to be continually absent ing themselves from its sessions, and those who invariably are conspicuous by their absence would be the very first to complain if the city aldermen did not ever turn up to the council meeting. There is just as much an obligation of a member of the Board of Trade to attend the meetings as there is to an alderman to attend the council. In neither case is there any financial compensation, as the work is for the common good of the public, and not for private benefit. The only compensation is that which comes from duties well performed for the general weal and the gratitude of the more appreciative portion of the public. We admit thai it requires a certain amount of self sacrifice and unselfishness to attend all the regular and special meetings and to perform the duties assigned to committees, but work has to lie done and some one must do it. and as citizens those to whom are relegated various duties should curry them out as an obligation to the city. The more interest taken in the Board the better and of more weight will be the result. The members are frequently face to face with the adverse criticisms which are invariably made of the acts of the board, (and the city council has its share of thia) by a considerable number of people of the community, who never by any chance do anything for aDyone but themselves and who think their chief object in the world is to caustically criticize those who faithfully desire to serve the community. This is an evidence of the tribute which ability has to pay the envious. A marked survival of tbe childhood of our race is brought out sharp and clear whenever anything of moment is before us and tho excitement of an election for instance is the time when we are to prone to display premordial prejudice. We refer to the imputation of motives of dark design to anyone who has to do with administration. No man can step into the field—a field for service, without reward—but his motives are questioned, and should the press dare express an opinion, they must of course be cherishing malice and only await the chance, to knock. In the first Initanre, the person entering the field, [a. probably actuated by high unselfish motives, and in tho second tin. press in the nature of things i- seeking only to do its duty as il sees it with charity toward all, with malice toward none. OBSERVANCE OF EASTER Discrepancy in Computing the Date not Corrected Until 1752 The observance of Easter dates back to about the year 08, ut which time there was much contention among the eastern un.l western churches as to what day the festival should he observed. It wns finally ordained at the council of Nice in the year 325 that it must be observed throughout the Christian world on the same day. This decision settled that Easter should be kept upon the Sunday lirst niter the fourteenth day of tbe first Jewish mouth, but no general conclusion was arrived at as to the cycle by which the festival was to be regulated, and some churches adopted one rule and some another. Tbis diversity of usage waB put au end to, and the Roman rule making Easter the first Sunday after the fourteenth day of the calen dar moon wa" established in England in 66'.). After nine centuries a discrepancy in the keeping of Easter was caused by the authorities of the English church di dining to adopt the reformation of tbe Gregorian calendsr iu 1582 The difference was settled in 1762 hy the adoption of the rulo which makes Easter day always the first Sunday after the full moon which appears on or next after the twenty lirst day of March. If the lull moon happen upon a Sunday, Easter is the Sunday after. Correspondence Editor Mmi. IliaiAi.n. April 1st, 1008. Dear Sir,—Will you kindly permit me to explain in my short humble way how travelling nttractions are booked in Oanada, between Winnipeg aud Kamloops, ns there seems to be a misconception re the selecting ai d booking of shows. House managers sometimes get credit nnd other times get blamed. Now I just wish to siiy that the whole responsibility of biok- ing and routing travelling attractions in Ibis territory rests with tbe secretary of the Western Canada Booking Bureau, a man paid by the House Managers' Association to book shows, to ascertain what they are and to strive to improve the Western Canadian stage. He, too, may get fooled sometimes, and as we are not infallible let us be slow to see faults in others. Yours truly, R. Tapping, Vice President W.C B.B. Churches. Catholic. — Rev.

The following which appeared recently in the Saturday Sunset of Vancouver will be interesting to readers iu this district. Few men and fewer women, perhaps, have ever watched a passenger train labor up the hill between Field and Hector on the C. P. R. main line, ex cept as passengers. Few but the lonely men whose monotonous lives are spent in little cabins at the, safety switches, or the section men or others with * railway errand or mission, have been .pectstors of. that daily struggle between themnn-crcsted force ofstesm and the inert, negative mass of a tremendous nature. Nature ninde the Kicking llo'ie Pass n mere oleft between the niouiitains, and a steep one, too, for the summit of the pass is 532!) feet above sea level, while Field, a little more than 9 miles below, is 1265 leet lower. Where the line rounds the base of Mount Stephen and creeps across the foot ol Cathedral Mountain in a distance of 4 miles, the climb is 866 feet, or, as engineers say, a grade of 4 4 per cent., which means that for every 100 feet travelled the line is elevated 4 4 feet. It is indeed an impressive and weird sight watching a train go up that grade, at night. Long before the elec trie headlight swings round the great shoulder ol Mt. Stephen the lights of four engines tl ish their silvery streams of brilliance here aud there over the surface of tbe mouutains opposite—silently, majestically the huge rays sweep across the forest-clad canyon like gigantic spirits ol another world engaged in some stately parade, till as the train made the curve, lor one blinding instant they swath the spectator in a sheet of silver, then pass swiftly up the slope of Cathedral, lighting the tracks for a full mile ahead with almost the brilliance of noon day. Aod the engines—how they coughed and panted their steel-throated, hoarse protests to the silent, unheeding snowcapped peak). The smoke and steam of their stacks shot straight into the air by the forced draft of tbeir exhausts, carrying with them tons of burning, redly-glowing cinders, fitfully lit in gold and orange as the furnaces opened to receive and consume more coal, more coal, ever more eoal That waa the song the engines sang: "Coal, more coal; coal, more coal"; that is ihe song they've sung a score of times every day inr a, tcure uf years. For that eong the 4.4 per cent grade between Hector aud Field bas levied heavy tribute upon the C. 1*. R. That song lias U-comc so .xpensive that tlie C. 1'. li , al'iei liguriug up tbe Obsts, lias ,'oiiiiil il will be cheaper o pay interest on it in lliuu and a bull of money, than to keep ou paying tbe pipers win- play the I.n irse accompaniment ol "Uual, more coal." Thut is why nenily (100 men iue busy hiring into the f.ice of the mouutains, driving spiral Hiiiui. s, building new track; why big Construction ramps are there; why engineering skill ul the highest order is directing the a: my of workmen and horses; in abort, why the grade is being reduced from 4.4 to 2,2, or one-hall. But coal, though it i. the basis of the cost of that song of the engines, is not tbe only item of expense. Between Hector aod Field, a distance ol eight miles, it is necessary to maintain eight engines crews and six train crews. At the three safety switches on tbe hill three men must be maintained and provided with houses. These men must be on duty at all times. Their safety switches are perpetually set against tbe main line and an engineer must wbistle before they are opened to a down-coming train. Trains come down tbat grade witb nil brakes set. At night a continuous stream of sparks is visible from brake- shoes and rails as tbe wheels, locked in a grip of steel, skid along tbe tracks with moaning screams. Little wonder those ponderous 90-lb. rails last only two years under such a strain. But tbat is one of tbe tributes leveled by the 4.4 per cent, grade on the Field Hill. So, besides tbe waste of eoal, there will be saved live or six engine crews, two or three train crews and the switohmen, all of whose wsges alone run into many hundreds of dollars a month—interest on a fortune—to say nothing of the wear and tear on rolling stock and rails. This grade lies amid one of the grandest bits of seeneiy in the Rookies. Tlie line skirts along one side of a great amphitheater ol mountains just opposite and bolow the Yoho Valloy, where the river of that name joins the Kicking Horse river. On all sides run mountains from 6,000 to 11,000 feet high. "Beauty lying in the lap of terror" is peculiarly applicable to this? spot, lor it in grandly beautiful yet forbiding and iiwe inspiring in its tremendous scale of proportions. It is one of the show spots of tbe C. P, R., and rightly so. When the new line ib finished the tourist will have ii complete panorama from every point of view, of every feature of tins famous scenic spot. So that together with the novelty of the two great spiral tunnels which form part of the improve- d.iy—poiier hoists and so on. The stacks nl the poller boosts, the numerous buildings of the bunkhou.es, cookhouses, engineering stall', e.vecu tive offices snd Btoree, with the bustle and constant detonations of exploding powder, make tbe scene one of great animation and hustie which is in strange contrast with the primeval wilderness aud solemn gram'eur of the scene of operations. In a work of thia sort there is sn organization of units not dissimilar THE LOOP. GLACIER Remarkable engineering feat on tbe C. P. R. ments, the Yoho and Kicking Horse valleys will have a fourfold interest for the sightseer. Coming from the Hector side, the new line leaves the present one about three miles west of Hector, and instead of dropping down 4.4 fe.'t in every hundred, it drops only 2 2. The direction of the line is thus forced to take carries it straight into the bowels of Cathedral Mountain. The line is therelore turned round inside the mountain by a spiral tunnel 3,200 leet long. The grade in the tunnel is not so steep as on the straight, being what engineers term compensation, i e., it is flattened so that it requires no more power to pull a train around the curve than it does on the straight. It will be understood.that curves cause friction, so that if the grade were left the same on the curves as on the straight, more power would be required to haul a train over them. Therelore in the 3200-foot tunnel the decent is only 48 feet. Coming out of the tunnel the line is faced back toward Hector snd it races away across the Kicking Horse river into another mountain, where it repeats the process and descends 45 feet in a 2890-foot tunnel. A sort of a "waltz me around again, Willie" proposition, or, to play oo the words of another popular song, "be walked right in aud he turned around and he walked right out again." By Irom those of a military operation on a similar scale. First they are the directing officers, one staff at the head office in Vancouver and another on the ground. There ie the engineering staff, the commissariat, the sappers and miners wl.o pick, lift, haul, and Otherwise move material; there is the artillery staff working on the air drills which eat hole* into the solid rock that are afterwards charged with shattering blasts of powder. One of the most important of these departments is the medical. In a population of tiOO men, representing al si est every European nationality, the rules of health must te strictly enforced if serious consequences are not to follow. Besides the usual ills to which flesh is heir, accidents peculiar to the work cannot be avoided and surgical attention must be had with all speed. Dr. R. H. Ker, a gold medalist of McGill has charge of the medical and health departments. In this work Dr. Ker has had a large experience, having bad the department on the Nicola construction and others la a quiet spot removed to some distance from tbe main comp, Dr. Ker bas his infirmary and hospital equipped with appliances suitable to the peculiir needs of such conditions. The life of a doctor in such a situation offers little compen sation but work, and fulfilment of the SNOW PLOUGH AT WORK Difficulties of railroading in the mountain. the aid of these tunnels the line is doubled in length, there being three lines on the new grade where there is only one on the present one. As an engineering feat, it is probably the greatest railway improvement work yet undertaken by the C. P. R. Mr. R. Marpole, it is understood, was the originator and indefatigable advocate of it for several ye rs past. As an engineering problem il looks simple on paper, but when the layman observes the work o( construction now in progress, it loses none ol the marvellous with whioh we oustomanly regard sucb works. Macdonell, Gsoweki A Co. bave tbe contract (or tbis work. Tbis firm is one of the largest railway contractors In the West. Mr. Jsmes A Macdonell, known all over Csnsda as "Big Jim," has been in tbe business of hewing a way through forest and rock for rail way lines dnring many years and he has left bis mark in Indelible characters upon the face of Western nature. Mr. C. S. Gznwski comes of a family distinguished in the engineering history of Canada and is himself a msn of higb attainments as a civil engineer He was associated with Mr. Macdonell in the construction ol the Nicola branch of the C. 1'. It., which was completed last year. At Field their are two large camps, each fully equipped with power plants operating air compressors, electric lights—the work is pushed night and obligations of duty. Tbe social opportunities are decidedly limited, if indeed they are such as count at all. Yet both tbe doctor and his assistant a hard working nurse, immure themselves for mouths at a stretch among the rough, sometimes worse, hordes of laborers, ministering to their needs, alicviatiug their sufferings and curing their ills. Some day a writer will give us a story In whioh the doctor of a railway construction camp will be tbe central figure, and fine material be will make. Tbe following compose the executive and engineering staffs in charge of tbe various departments of tbe work for the C. P. B.I Mr. J. E. Schwitser, assistant chief engineer; Mr. John Callaghan, divisional engineer; Mr. H.JN. Merriam, assistant engineer, snd Mr. J. W. Shepperd, resident engineer. For the contractors Mr. Archie Mc- Dougall is superintendent and Mr. J, H. MeWatters is paymaster. Valuable Freight A C. P. R.

A large and interested crowd gathered at the Y. M. C. A. on Thursday night to witness the gymnastic display by the different classes, doing nightly work in the spacious gymnasium. When the performers tiled out they made a very smart and neat appear ance, being all well set up and finely developed. lhe Wand drill by the I u lei mediates was particularly striking, the boys doing neat work and demonstrating how picturesque it ia to witness a large number moving with precision as one m n n. Some line work wns shown on the parallel burs, horizontal bars, German horse und elephant work, not so much from the spectators point of view, but nevertheless being extremely trying on the muscles and general phisical endurance. General gymnastics consisted of the performers encb doing tbeir own special exercise on which ever apparatus they chose. Some ol these tricks were extremely interesting eluded the entertainment. Thu Gym Team vs. Shamrocks in the liinil of the chn'leiigc series. Some swift work waa curried out by both teams and ut timce in the beat of the game a little rough play was manifested. The .Shamrocks, led at half time snd h'd the beat of the game. In tbe second half play was very swift, the Gym Team d„ing their best to get in tbe lend, and after some fast play tbey succeeded, with the aid of a few free throws. The Shamrocks put up a hard light to regain their lead but time did not permit, and when time was culled the Gym Team, playing a tine strong defenco game, succeeded in carrying off the laurels. Gym Team, 13; Shamrocks, 11. Although the Gym Team won out, it was a difficult mutter to say which was the better team, aB the Shamrocks put up a magnificent game. E, Ii. Lewis acted as referee successfully, but was too prone to allow his decisions, which should be final and unalterable, to be questioned and argued. A referee should not be influenced or dictated to by any of the players, and be has the right to call those who do this to tusk. Players should not tell u referen what is a foul and what is not, lie should judge lor himself and severely censure the complainant for interfering. Nothing spoils a good game so quick as a few kickers. The whole exhibition wae the finest MOUNTAIN SNOW SHED ON C. P. R. MAIN LINE. and amusing, and evoked loud ap plause from the audience. These tricks were carried out with skill and adroitness. In mat work the special claes consisting of Neil Lee, A. Woodland and Harry Turnross, performed some extremely difficult and sensational feats, bringing both strength and skill into plsy. Harry Turnross is a young athlete of great promise, and judging by his work on Thursday will, as he grows older, be a gymnast Revelstoke may be proud of. Tommy Hope proved himself a master in the art of punching a bag, his performance being striking and and interesting, the bag getting all tbat was coming to it from bend, shoulders1, elbows, hands und even ti knee", the exhibition being coiicludid by lhe peri inner punching one bag with bis hands and another with his knees, which received its due slime nf appreciation fiom the audienee, The gymnastic games proved very exciting, causing endless fun for players as will as spectators. An exhibition of Indian club swinging by the men s cl iss waa given, and is worlby of praise for the accurate awing nnd precision as the arms worked in unison. Some artistic and spectacular work in human pyramids delighted the spectators, the designs being graceful and attractive A feature of the entertainment waB tbe Chinese lantern drill by the pub yet Been in Revelstoke and speaks volumes for the ability of our boys and the beneficial results of physical training. Great credit is due to Mr. Alldritt, the physical director, for bis work in bringing up his pupils to such a high standard of excellence and proficiency, which can only be accomplished by method, striot descipline, practice and right living. Revelstoke should be proud to see ber sons grow- in? up into fine and healthy manhood the results of physical training, drilled and instilled into them in a scientific and systematic manner.

AN OPEN LETTER Unionism, Socialism and Ihe Militia. Revelstoke, B. C, April 3, 1908. Captain Robert Smith, Militia Company, RevelBtoke, IJ. C. Dear Sir,— At tlie farewell supper tendered our fellow citizen Mr. H. A. Blown last night you made u«e r;f the following, or words to tliie effect, " That the non- success ol the Revelstoke Militia company wae due to the union men of the town refusing to allow their members to join the Militia, for which the SociAliets were responsible and that they (the Socialists) ahould be kicked oot of town" and as you were replying to tue toast of the King's Forces, your remarks may also be taken to suggest the " uuilesirability " of such oitisans. Our present system nf society, Mr. Btnitb, is haseil and founded upon injustice and robbery,as I will prove to you in a very few words. The private ownership of land and natural resource* i* sheer robbery, for tbe earth tselongs to nil the people and thi re ia not one single deed or agreement that j is valid.

Moran requesting the council to release her for a time from paying tho wntor rates, stating that she had bud heavy expense in connection with her farm. Aid. Foote said that this wae a most deserving case and the city could well afford to extend thi* charity as Mrs. Moran was destitute and alone. Aid. Sawyer said he thought that the city Bhould extend this consideration although it was a difficult matter to give any such consideration toany one who owned property. The council finally resolved to lei the account Btand anotbor six months longer. v From T. F, Sinc'nir requesting that Ilia cheque deposited with the city on the tender for the contract be relumed. The communication stated that the bond bad been sent in place of the cheque. The council felt that they were not satisfied witb the bond in the way it stood. The matter was finally laid over for further consideration. From the superintendent of the power house submitting bis report fo the month, stating that everything wss working satisfactorily aud said lhat the plant had run 4d8 hours aud 30,201 k.w. hours during March. The report was received aod tiled. Messrs. Hagar, Hays and Tapping, a delegation from tbe Fruit Growers' Association waited on the Council in connection with the Revelstoke exhibit at the Dominion Fair asking them to see that as they had donated funds, the Board of Trade should gi t busy and arrange for the exhibit before it is too late. Tbe council promised to do -what they could to assist. Two signed petitions were read showing requests for sidewalks from St. Peter's church to Woodrow's corner on Second street, and on Fifth street from McArthur to the east end cf street. These petitions were laid over until the public work estimates were brought down. Re "new business" an agreement was read from the C.P.R, which stated that the City could use the roads crossing the track at Campbell and McKenzie avenues, and the rosd to the station as a right-of way, provide! that the city pledged itself to indemnify tho railroad compsny agsinst all claims for accidents and damage sustained by those using the roads and crossings. This was embodied in tbe argument which the city was requested to sign. The Council agreed that as the people were forced to use the C.P.R. property in order to get to the station, it was hardly fair to make the council responsible for any damage or accidents thereon. There was no other means of access to the station and the C PR were milking a difficult proposition. The council finally resolved that the city could n t see its way clear to sign the agreement. Plans for the addition to the power huufle were discussed and a resolution was passed calling for tenders for tlie woik, tbo specifications stipulating that the men must belong to the city and married, tenders to be in by 5 p. m., April 10th. The accounts were pnsaed and the meeting terminated. A ROSE BU5H WOULD FOOLIJH WITHOUT IDE ON Top- AHATISTHE ASTHERO.JE- IT IS CROWNING GLOKY BUST/TR r.
