An effort will be made to have the
members of the Canadian Manufacturers' association, who meet ln Vaucouver towards the close of next
month, pay an official visit to New
Westminster.
At a ineeting of tlie board of trade
last night the matter was brought up
by President Lusby, who thought that
every effort ought to be made to have
the association come over here. He
stated thai many of the visaing nieni-

The cause of the wreck Is a mystery
and an inquest will be held. Engineer
Spencer, of the second section of the

standing on the track ahead of him.
An exploded torpi do was found to-

Assistant Superintendent Eureka, of

No Hope for Halm.
Supervisor Weigle has given up
hope of the safety of Hanger Joseph
B. Halm, who was with eighty men in
tlie thick of the fight on the headwaters of the St. Joe river last Saturday. A relief party has searched the
whole country where llalra was last
seen. Ranger P. A. Ferns at the head
of a still larger party on the St.
Joe is safe.
Many Killed at Big Creek.
The forest service announces the
loss of twenty-seven men on Big
creek, and it may be that these are a
party of the ninety-five dead reported
by their comrades in Spokane today.
Settlers Dead.
It is supposed that the twenty-two
bodies found in Bitter Root creek
near Avery, are those of settlers.
Twenty-five bodies found on Setser
creek are those of forest employees.
The forest office in Wallace is unable to give out the names of the
dead, but it is thought that most of
the men were newly hired for the fire
emergency and their names ave not j
officially recorded. Probably tew of j
the skilled forest men have perished.

After his Jaunt to Stave lake on
Monday and the excitement which
prevailed during the visit of the Premier of Canada to the city Wednesday
afternoon, the council surprised ItBolf
Wednesday night by doing a flrst class
night's business. Por the flrst time
in a month there was a full meeting
of the board. Alderman Jardine had
returned from his Dawson trip and
everyone else was on tiand, Including
a fair sprinkling of ratepayers and
one or two others ln whose memories
recollections of Auditor Cotsworth's
report still lingered.
It was not generally known that Mr.
Cotsworth would present another report, and as there wiib no mention
made of him ln the earlier parts of
tlie meeting the crowd evidently
thought that he was not on tbe program and left. Uut they missed something, for the auditor was there again
with liis hands full of papers and his
general disposition very benevolent.
The latest report was mostly composed of advice on the conduct of civic
affairs. He strongly urged the necessity for adopting a better system at
the council meetings whereby so
much time would not be wasted fn the
hearing and discussion of trivial matters, lie suggested additions to the
staff in the city clerk's and city treasurer's ofiice and wound up with a final
reply to the letters which had been
written in reference to his report.
In the course of his remarks lie
stated that he bad found occasion to
amend the statement he had ma'e iu
the early report concerning Alderman Jardine.
Alderman Jardine rose to remark
that he had considered the statement
in the report as a reflection on his integrity. Auditor Cotsworth remarked
that it touched him In a way, but was
more of an Incident to his position |
than us a result of any actions on liis
part. He admitted that it was more I
the fault of the system than of any of
the aldermen that such things coull
happen, and remarked that he had
amended the part referring to Alderman Jardine, :is he had found nut that
he had been wrongly Informed on the
subject.
During the course of tlie auditor's
remarks there was no bitterness or ill
feeling apparent, and at the close of
the address Mayor Lee thanke i him
for his work and wished hlm a safe
journey to Kngland.
The following is the final Installment of Auditor Cotsworth's leport
which was read to the council Wednesday night.

them directly to the council.

the council aud tho subsequent meeting with the finance committee, I
spoke of the Important relief that
I could be given to the whole civic administration for the benefit of your

The adjourned meermg of the board
of trade last night proved to be a busy
Bession. There were not a great many
members present, hut they settled
down to business and the meeting got
through earlier than lt has dune for
months.
Secretary Wade reported on the display at the Vancouver exhibition. He
stated that it bad been very highly
commended and although not entered
for competition bad been awarded a
special diploma for merit. All the
literature lie had taken over, thinking
that it would last for a week, had
been given out on the lirst day, but
he had secured some more and had
partially satisfied the demand. He
recommended that the board of trade
should establish a permanent exhibit
here in the board of trade room, so
that visitors to the city could "be given
some tangible and trustworthy idea of
the resources and possibilities of the
country. This suggestion was received with favor by the board, but
no action was taken.
W. R. Gilley remarked that he
thought the time had come for the
board of trade lo seek new quarters
as the present room was becoming
altogether too noisy for the satisfactory transaction of business. When
the cars go by it is scarcely possible
to hear what is being said. He suggested that the hoard establish a
fund and put up a building for its own
use ou some quiet street. This suggestion was received with favor, hut
no action was taken.
. Kev. J. S. Henderson stated that he
[had listened with peculiar pleasure to
Ithe address which had been presented
to Sir Wilfrid Laurier on We'd::.sday.
He thought that it had been ln pei Ret
I taste and he did uot see how it could
the improved upon. He did not know
| whether the board should pass a roso-
llutlon congratulating itself or not,
but he thought it was a good address.
Alderman Gilley moved that the
board he exonerated from all blame
In ihe matter and the meeting let It
go at that.
Dr. Holmes stated that he had been
doing some work, but like parts of
Auditor Cotsworth's findings, th-.' less
said about it tlie belter.
President Lusby stated that the
committee appointed to look into the
high wire question had made some
Inquiries and asked for further time.
He stated that he was trying to arrange a meeting of the parties interested at which Harbor Master B. W.
Shiles would he present.
It was reported that at a recent accident on Columhla street difficulty
had been experienced In getting the
city ambulance and the municipal
committee was authorized to find tho
conditions governing the sending of
the ambulance in case of emergency
calls.
Several other matters of minor importance were discussed at tho meeting.

troubles on the south side of the
liver will probably be settled once and
for all at a sitting of the railway commission iu the city of Vancouver on
September 5. C. W. Piper, of Vancouver, has sent in a complaint that the-
service on the local trains of the
Great Northern is not fast enough,
one reason for the delay of some of
the trains being tbat tbey are obliged
to run into the market at New Westminster, a run which consumes sometimes as much as forty minutes valuable time.
As a consequence oT hts protest the
rnllwny eomnany has abandoned (lie
service for the time being, but the
��� ailway loniniissioners will decide
whether t'>e service will be resumed
or not. The contention of the residents of New Westminster ls that the
majority of the passengers on the
trains affected ure bound for the market and so should be given tlrst consideration in any proposed changes' in
the tine tab'e.
The board of trade of New Westminster will be represented at tho
meeting by President Lusby a'ld J. R.

represented and the Great Northern
officials and the Vancouver objectors-

New York. Aug. 26.���Two persona
lost their lives during tbe past twenty-four hours as a result of mistakes
made by New York drug clerks in tilling prescriptions, according to the reports handed to the police by the
court's officers. In one case a tea-
spoonful of carbolic acid was administered to a two-year-old baby because
the drug clerk had put the acid Into a
laxative prescription by mistake. The
baby was instantly seized with convulsions and died in a few minutes. Man-
uello Carnello, a clgarmaker, procured
some medicine on a prescription at a
drug store near his home, took a small
dose for the purpose of curing indigestion, and died fifteen minutes later.

il was discovered that tho poor box
of the English Cathedral had been
robbed of its contents, which must
have been considerable, as ll had not
been emptied for over a month. The
thief practiced an ingenious manner
of abstracting the many odd i leces deposited In the box by visitors, who
are numerous at this time of tlie year,
by splitting the lock and putting it
together again, so that whether the
robbery took place recently, or from
day to day, is nol known, but it Is certain that he must have made off with
a goodly sum.

applied at say tbe rate of one per
cent, per month, to deter all unreasonable people who have in the past
aud continue to exact tlie present
arrears' advantage, whilst the city is
virtually paying interest on the money
they owe to the civic treasury.
The result of that lack of business
precaution has been that persons who
could pay currently for light and
water during past months or years
have escaped the payment of interest
on all arrears whilst the city had to
pay the bank interest and all honorable citizens were made to pay that
loss incurred by those delinquents.
That provision to secure interest is
generally applied by the directors of
business concerns. Us absence from
your light and water regulations lias
operated as a distinct inducement for
certain privileged persons to withhold
payment of these accounts, lt is
futile to reply that if they did not pay,
then their service connections for
those utilities would be cut off. Thai
was what happened to ordinary taxpayers including tlie poor and needy,
but the well able to pay members |
of tlie inner circle and their friends,
were not cut off. They were wrongly
allowed to keep themselves in gain by
over-ruling your regulations, thereby
inflicting injustice upon honorable
taxpayers.

William Ogilvie of Interior
Department Investigates
Power Sources in North.
Norway House, Aug. 2'.-��� William
Ogilvie, ex-governor of the Yukon, but
now eonneeted with the interior department at Ottawa, arrived here a
lew days ago on liis way down the
Nelson river to Port Nelson aud York
Factory. .Mr. Ogilvie'a northern trip
it was learned, is to secure full and
accurate information in respect to
locating unknown water falls and also
to determine the velocity of the rivers
and rapids within close proximity to
the line of the Hudson Bay railroad,
wiili the view of the government'��� going ahead with the development of all
water powers In thr vicinity of the
line of railway, which wlll be used to
generate electricity for the purpose ol
operating the road.
Mr. Ogilvie, when nsked if he
thought the scheme was at all feasible, said: "Of course It will depend
entirely upon the amount of power
that can be harnessed at Intervals not
exceeding twenty-live miles, along the
line of railway. Although we already
have a fair Idea of the location of the
principal water falls mar the line of
survey, yet the Informal ion al hand
is very Indefinite and much too inaccurate for tlie government to work on.
Whatever is to be done ln the matter,
will, in all probability be made known
at the next session of parliament when
it will he brought up for discussion.
Would Effect Great Saving.
"From a rough calculation it is quite
reasonable to assume thnt if the road
was operated by electricity instead of
steam, it would effect a large saving
In fuel, owing to the almost prohibitive nrice of coal when landed at any
of uie divisional points along the
ro.:d. It is a well-known fact that
power can be transmitted many miles
for very little added expense, therefore supposing we were not altogether
successful in locating all the power
we required right at the line it would
be no great undertaking to develop
and transmit power obtainable at
points on the different rivers, e,ven at
some distance."
Saskatchewan Navigation.
Before arriving bore Mr. Ogilvie
and his party spent about a month on
the Saskatchewan river between
Prince Albert nnd Lake Winnipeg.
From observations made on the trip
It could be seen that lie was favorably
impressed with tbe project now on
foot to make the river navigable for
boats drawing eight and ten feet of
water. At Grand Rapids, he claims
tbat the falls and rapids there, will,
with very little cos!, produce 3i0.000
horsepower and the amount in Bighl
would reach 150,000 horsepower.

British Sailor Tells of Work of Portuguese Military.
Montreal, Aug. 25.���That a dreaded
pirate haunt, the terror of the China
seas, has been practically exterminated, is the news brought from the
Far East by Admiral Lyon, commander-in-chief of the British fleet in the
Pacific, whose headquarters are at
Hong Kong.
The admiral, with Mrs. Lyon and
daughter, were passengers by the
steamer Empress of India, which arrived in Vancouver a week ago last
Saturday and are here on the way to
England. It was, ho said, the Portuguese who did the work of harrying
the pirates on tbe Island of Oolowna,
killing off the bulk of them, but unfortunately the leader escaped.
For more than thirty years these
pirates who inhabited this island,
wliich is near Macao, have been the
most notorious desperadoes ln the
easl, living solely by sea plunder,
murder and the destruction of unpro.
tecied merchant shipping, until now,
they have successfully defied, through
.the Impregnable front presented by
the precipitous rocks, the Portuguese
and Chinese authorities. The Portuguese could not face the slaughter of
j women and children, so these were
brought from the island , which will
become a military outpost. -
