After a blast fired in Stope A-4 on the 60-foot level, to." break through from there into the glory hole, Mr. Dimrnick on goingfto his- home found that a rock weighing perhaps 35 pounds and another smal. ler one had crashed through the roof, that Mrs. Dimrnick had been seriously injured, both her legs-- being broken and that the child was so injured that she' was not able to, recover from the shock and died at 8.30 that eveniri^; Mrs. O'Hanley, a neighbor took the child "at the time Mrs. Dimrnick was removed to the Sister's Hospital where today she was doing as well as possible under the conditions. ; A coroner's jury was found that evening-and visited the scene of the accident. On Tuesday morn- at 10 a.m. a hearing was given the witnesses in the Court House, Greenwood. V -v There was no question as to liow- the fatality occurred. The evidence given then was directed to finding who ^ was culpable. M. Edgren, foreman- of the mine stated: that whistles were blown longer than usua.1 and more than ordinary precauTions taken.' "fhe shift boss was also ordered to warn the people in the town., The house through which the rock we_t was 900 feet away. The blast was a particularly dangerous one. and this is tbe first time special instructions were given this year, ; Charles Gollyer, shift boss, said there were 22 holes. He had warned Mr. Dimrnick but not the people in ti ,e houses. Powder of 40 per'cent grade was used instead of SO per cent. Dr. J. _}. Spankie gave evidence as to injuries and cause of death. The leg was fractured at the ankle in two places and there were several flesh wounds. Death occurred at 8.30 p.m. Neighbors, Mrs. O'Hanley and Mrs. Mezzen said that they knew of the block houses but that they were not generally used. Both told of finding the mother and child-. David Johnson stated that the bjast put in was lighter than usual. He set the fuse as soon as the whistle man came back and signalled him to do so. His instructions were to load lightly. Joseph Hyde, whistleman, had blown the whistle longer than usual and also an estra whistle alongside of the block house which hp never had blown before. The father of the deceased child was called and gave very full evidence. On the way from his home to the cookhouse, the shift boss called to him of the danger. From the cook house he watched the blast and then returned to.his home. The neighbors came and others; Dr. Gibbs had given attention until Dr. Spankie had come. He had been away from them only 5 or 7 minutes. He did not consider the tunnels safe as a place of refuge and did not know of the blockhouses. He "had not known the blast to be a specially dangerous one. He would expect special warning if a very heavy blast were being put in, giving him time to movehis family. In this caBe there was not time after the warning. Superintendent Mcintosh gave evidence of the size of the board, and exhibited a copy of its contents. Time between whistle and blast was 5 mins. Nearly everyone huu disregarded whistles. The Coroner's jury was compos ed as follows: D. O. McKay (foreman), C. J. Wilson, W. G. Kennedy, F. C. Buckless; J. N. Paton and Howard Moore. The jury retired at 5.30 p��m. and its verdict which is: given below, was returned at 7-iOin.-the evening. The jury find that Eunice Dimrnick met her death on August 17, 1908, at 8.40 p.m. at thye residence of hef father, J. H. Dimrnick, at the Mother Lode mine, caused by shock attending injuries received by being struck with a rock thrown by-blasting- operations at the Glory Hole of the Mother Lode Mine. We advise that in future greater precautions should be taken when blasting particularly dangerous bo'es as in this instance , UNFAIR NEWS SERVICE If any further illustration were needed of the ridiculously partisan-daily news service British Columbia is.getting, it was* furnished this week -ad nauseam id the reports of the elections in Saskatchewan. On Saturday night in Regina" it was known th at the Scott Govern ment was sustained by a'majority increased froni.9 to I2,i;j3n Tuesday the Nelson Daily News put' it on its inside page at which few of its readers ever lookj under the heading *'Government,'majority will be about zero," a despatch from Regina dated Monday giving the Government a majority of 12, larger, as has;" been stated than the government had before. ' The adding of new seats as the Scott Government did seldom tells heavily in favorVof a government and that has not So great an effect on their majority as one might think. In considering the election in Saskatchewan, it must also be. remembered that the Haul- ���tain'p'a'rty ran hot as ��� Cbttserva- tives but as Provincial Rightefs, appealing to the people on a popular issue but one which is most easily turned to national disadvantage. It is the cry of sectionalism. The result in Saskatchewan as it is coming to be known cannot be otherwise than exceedingly gratifying to every supporter, of the Liberal government at Ottawa as well as to the friends of Premier Scott himself. CORRESPONDENCE. Keffer and Mrs. Keffer were visitors in camp Monday. James McCreath took a spin into camp on Wednesday in his new automobile much to the excitement of Denoroites, it being the first machine of its kind seen here Mr. Gadron, brother of Mrs. J. V. Augrignon is visiting his sister. Mr: Gadron was running a hotel in Fernie at the outbreak of the fire and was burned out. Tuesday was the first time he bad seen his sister for ten years. Evangeline Phillips and Viola Pierce spent the week' end with Miss F. Scott at the ranch. ' Mail is now sent daily between Denoro and Phoenix.

Constable Aston on Monday night. The men recon- noitered the situation from the bridge, returned to the darkness, masked and smocked themselves and started for the hostelry of C. L. Thdmet. Mr. Thomet had seen the suspicions characters, locked his doors and prepared himself with his six-shooter. The brigands not finding an easy entrance made no trouble and slinked away across the flat, folio we'd by Thomet who arrived at Salter's hotel just as one of the sharpshooters put an end to the existence of Host Crowell's dogs. They followed the same tactics as at Anaconda, collecting their prey in the one room, and facing Host Crowell against the bar mirror in which he was privileged to view the cast of the clothes and neck of his assailants went through his pockets, taking $65.. On leaving the hotel, the men went towards the C.P.R. tracks firing at some C.P.R. men whom they took to be a relief force. Yesterday they were reported at Eholt and Denoro but the police have a number of clues which they are following. As they and the country are thoroughly aroused over the beries of incidents it is thought that the men cannot long escape capture. All Not Less Than Their Due* , J. McRae,-who returned from Fernie to Phoenix oh Wednesday in company with Charlie Hunter, arrived here yesterday. In Fernie, tbe lines are being drawn closer still and now. no outsider is allowed to erect a temporary structure within the fire limits, thus practically shutting out all who were not in Fernie before the fire. Very few women and child; reu are left in Fernie, and the building is being confined pretty well to the business districts where from three to four hundred carpenters are busily .engaged erecting temporary structures. The Trites-Wood Co. are putting up the largest building, a two- storey frame structure 60x20. Mr. McRae says no adequate idea of the destruction can be had except, by seeing it and thinks that the Fernie people who braved the disaster have everything possible coming to them. . Fire and water were the alarming topics of d scussion at Monday's Council meeting and a full council lent it * energies to devise proper means of precaution against the presence of one and the absence of the other. The Fire Chief was instructed ta enforce By-Law No. 127 which gives him power to demolish all buildings which might reasonably be termed fire traps and with Chief Dinsmore.he was instructed to make a thorough inspection of all buildings in the town in respect of danger from fire and see that the by-law is enforced. The Fire Chief's letter containing a number of suggestions along this line was received and filed. To the Fire and Light Committee was referred the letter of the Fire Chief containing a proposal for insuring the members of the voluntary ��� Fire Brigade against disablement in the performance of their duties. A letter was read from F. W. McLaine representing the Ocean Accident Co. giving rates for this insurance. The Committee will report at next meeting. The Chief of Police was instruct- ed to find out how, many people were using water on their lawns and a notice- is being sent to all users of water that the water is to be used for hose sprinkling only from 7 to 7.30 o'clock in . the morning and the same time in the evening. The B.C. Times was allowed $10 as the* city's share in changing connections of water service pipe trom the Lynn Creek to the Twin Creek main. Mr. Frederick Keffer addressed the Council with respect to the approaching visit of the engineers, taking advantage of the excursion of the Canadian' Mining I_s titu^te^-,'^tK'_*^ ing of the .Mayor and Aldermen Gulley and Wilson was appointed to make arrangements for their entertainment. Aid. Fleming was heartily in favor of one of Greenwood's famous smokers and abhorred a stiff-shirted banquet. 7'he sidewalks to the hospital are to be widened by two planks. C. J. Wilson was reimbursed to the extent of $6 for money spent on streets. The City Plumber is to notify the City Hall on every occasion" before turning off the water. If your water is turned off, fire in your enquiry to Mr. Taylor's good nature. The Mayor reported that the Phoenix Waterworks Co. had offered to pay one half the cost of repairing the damage done to Providence Creek main through washout from Marshall Lake. Tbe offer had been refused.. Following accounts were ordered paid: Vulcan Iron WorkB, $2.00; White Bros., 50 c: J. W. Nelson, $5.35: Greenwood City Waterworks, 8128.80; Greenwood Steam laundry, S3.90. MANY MEN FIGHTING FIRES Fires Everywhere On Hills None Yet in Places of Great Danger A fire was found in* the old Poay Stables on Monday evening about 7 o'clock. The origin is mysterious and is suspicious especially as it was synonmous with a serious leakage in the water main iu the neighborhood.

FRIDAY. AUGUST 21,1908 OF LIBERAL MINISTERS The despatches in the Coast papers of Friday last contain the information that Mr. Clifford Sifton will take complete charge ot the Liberal campaigh in the West. Mr. Sifton has always been a man of wonderful mental powers and his speeches on the floor of parliament have always %set a standard much above the usual in political deliverances. The problems of government always loom large in his mind and his vigorous and constructive handling of them is known to every Canadian. It is one of the peculiarities of the Ministers of the Laurier Government that they have held the esteem of unsparing critics. Mr. Sifton has no greater admirer in Canada today than J. S. Willison, of the Toronto News, and Mr. Willison himself is a hammerer without equal when the governmentof the day is on the anvil. Recently another conservative paper, the Toronto World has burst into elo- . queuce over the qualities of Mr. Sifton. Its eulogy is as follows: "If there be truth'in the rumor that Mr. Sifton is once more to accept a position in the Cabinet, a new light will be cast upon his career. He has suffered the penalty of every man of construc tive imagination. Twelve years ago he outlined plans for the future of Canada, which are now being appreciated and becoming intelligible. Being misunderstood he was at that time criticized for what has proved +6 be his foresight.^ On the floor of the House Mr Sif ton's utterances have always commanded respect, because of their conciseness and pith. It can never be said of him that he is one who "sucer s fools gladly." Asa man of business capacity in the large sphere of government he has shown himself alert, adroit, and competent. He is a man worth having in the service of his country." Along with this and in view" of the carping criticism that lesser meaner minds sometimes give out regarding the Liberal ministers, it may be interesting lo place the following remarks from an editorial-of the Toronto News. They refer, it will be seen tothe younger members of the Cabinet���the men who along with their incomparable leader in the tuture will guide the destinies of the Liberal party and of the government of Canada : "Nothing can rob Sir Wilfrid Laurier of his great personal distinction. No one denies his strength of character aud capa** city for affairs. It would be childish to pursue the Prime Minister with the sort of criticism with which Sir John Macdonald was assailed for a generation. Mr. Graham is proving himself to be a good departmental'head, and has already made his position "in parliament secure. Mr. Lemieux shows an increasing capacity for public business. Mr. Fisher is an efficient Minister of Agriculture, and he has gained credit by his handling of the Civil Service Bill and his attitude towards,the Archives Department. Mr., Aylesworth has power as a debater, industry in his department, and a ��� sound comprehension of the powers, privileges and limitations of Parliament, but a certain cur- ious subservience to party affects his influence with the independent elements of the country." Fruit Industry A Cherry Producio. Country. The August number df "Better Fruit" says: "The Northwest stands out prominently as the cherry producing country of the world, on account of excellency of thecherries grown in the Northwest and on ��� account of their splendid shipping qualities. The trees bear prolifii- cally. The care and culture of the cherry is the simplest of all varieties of fruit, as the cherry is practically free from all the diseases that cause so much trouble in other varieties of fruit.. Spraying, so far, has being unnecessary. The tree requirespittle pruning and in many districts does exceedingly well without any cultvatioh, consequently growing cherries for market is the simplest kind of fruit business." Mann by saying he pitied him when the latter sr^idhe came'from a country that did not require irrigation. He stated emphaticallyy as did several others speakers, that the value of the land was entirely in the water. Speaking of the relative position* of mountain and fruit lands, Professor Carpenter said he thought that four or five acres of watershed would be a fair estimate ot the extent of land needed to collect water sufficient to irrigate one acre of fruit land. The election of officers resulted as follows : Hon. President, Hon. G. H. Bulyea, Lieut.-Governor of Alberta. President���J. S. Dennis, Sup- erintent C P.R. Irrigation, Calgary.

Like most people he had had the idea that we, this side of the line, lived in a kind of arctic climate, with bears, wolves, and the like, prowling over "Our Lady of the Snows," but his visit to the lovely Sunny Okanagan once and for all dispelled his erroneous ideas, and he was now inclined to believe it' quite possible that, as a Boston divine once maintained, the Garden of Eden would be found situated at the North Pole. He had heard one or two say we did not get enough rain here, but he wanted to say that we had just a perfect fruit climate ; there was the heat for the ripening of the fruit to perfection, the soil was all that could be desired, and with a thorough system of irrigation the Okanagan Valley would have or has got, as the case may be, ideal conditions for the production of ideal fruit. He need scarcely mention the markets, for it is well known that the Northwestern Provinces can take all the fruit, and lots more too, QOQi004^>*>*i90000000*��09909^00i H.

Then why does not everybody fake Cod Liver Oil and Iron ? Simply because most people cannot take the Oil and few can digest the Iron in any ordinary form. These difficulties have been entirely removed by the introduction of FERROL, in which the Iron is scientifically combined with.the Oil, rendering the Oil palatable and the Iron digestible, "While FERROL is manufactured from the best quality of Cod Liver Oil (the whole of the Oil) and is richer in oil than any other emul->ion,and while it contains just the right quantity of the best form of Iron ind Phosphorus, it is so scientifically .prepared tliat not one -person in a thousand finds any trouble in talcing it, and infants digest it without difficulty. Moreover the well-established value of the Oil and Iron is immensely enhanced by the* process of manufacture, and as the formula is freely exposed it is not to be wondered at that physicians everywhere have fully endorsed FCRROL and used it largely in their practice. FERROL is invaluable for the treatment of any. kind of Lung or Bronchial troubles, while for wasting diseases it has no equal, and ��*You Know What You Take" The Best Appointed Working men's Hotel in the City Lighted throughout with - Electricity.

Since 1896���Thirty-five Millions of Acres Given to Homesteaders Since 1896��� Conservatives Give Nine Millions in 18 Year's; The practice of palming- off falsehoodsdesigned to serve the purposes of faction, in the guise of truth's uttered for ' the public weal, is spoken of by Bacon as one likely to continue in all ages Shakespeare puts in the mouth of Lear a contemptuous reference to,] the same practice��� ' "Get thee glass eyes, " And like a scurvy politician, seem , "To see the thing thou dost not.'* . TheAmesian magic lantern as a means of conveying political falsehoods is among the modern developments of the art referred to as it is practised in this coun- - try in this year of grace. But the most shameless palming off of party misrepresentations in the guise of truths uttered for the public*weal is that which is practised (in the dissemination of "such statements, as the f olio win g, which is here reproduced from a decent editorial in the Ottawa Evening Journal, professing to discuss the record of the present Dominion Government: , "The land, instead pf going direct to the settlor, has passed _rst through the hands of the middlemen, friends of the Government, some of them now even members of Parliament and supporting the Government, - ' * ' - ' ' * meti who buy for a song* and sell or hold for hundreds of thousands. Landsy coal areas, timber leases, grazing leases, irrigation privileges, the public domain in the west in all its concrete forms, passes into the hands of a few groups of men, alienated forever at prices ridiculously incommensurate with its real value and the man who is to meet the- enhanced cost w_ ich the speculators are to exact is the settler whose interest the Liberal leaders in 1893 pledged themselves to protect." This is truly a sweeping indictment. It amounts, if the-words bear their conventional meaning, to this, that it is and has been the fixed policy of the Government to make it impossible for the actual settler to get access to the land without first dealing with a middleman. But. will the statement stand examination? Lands, coal areas, timber leases, grazing leases, irrigation privileges,, in a word, ' the public domain in the West in all its concrete form;" is pictured as "alienated forever," at the expense of the settler. �� f fife BouMi&my* MM����*0 \Pk$��t' - The arable land of Western Canada is divided into odd-numbered and even-numbered sections. The ndd-ntimhprerl ���**.pr*tini*-*i have until thepresent time been reser. ved from settlement by ' home- steading. What for ? They were set aside by the Conservative Government which was in power at Ottawa from 1878 to 1896,'as a reserve from which the railway land grants made so lavishly by that Government were to be selected. When" the Liberal Government took office in 1896, the odd-numbered sections were thus tied up., Comparatively little progress had been made in the selection of the millions upon millions ot acres of railway grants The first thing done by the Liberal Government was to stop the policy of granting lands to railways. Not an acre of,������ land has been granted by the Liberal Government to any railway. But the grants already authorized by the legislation of the Conservative regime have been satisfied, as they had to be unless Canada .was prepared to repudiate obligations which it had voluntarily assumed. U,ntil these grants were satisfied, the odd-numbered sections had to remain tied up. To the work of hastening the , selection by the grantees theL-iberal Government, upon taking office, addressed itself. It was necessarily slow work as there were many millions of acres to be selected, and the grantees did not find it in their interest to hasten unduly in making their choice ; as the'-longer they could ' postpone making the selection the longer would be the extension of their period of exemption from provincial and municipal taxation. That work was at last completed : and its completion meant the reversion to the Government of Canada of some 30,000,000 acres, of which probablyj20,000,000 acres are good arable land, available for immediate settlement.

By multiplying 221,860 by 160,we find that 35,501,600 ' acres were given free to settlers in the period from January I, 1897, to December 31 last. The Ottawa Evening Journal, with its Pharisaical professions of being fair and impartial, makes no mention of these 35,501,600 acres of free homestead grants under Liberal rule, but sweepingly declares that all the land has been "alienated forever at prices ridiculously incommensurate with-its real value, and the man who is to meet the enhanced cost which the speculators are to exact is the settler whose interest the Liberal leaders in 1893 pledged themselves to protect." from the Crpwn to homesteaders under simple conditions of settlement since the Liberals took office' is thft ynanen'Criible "tOOf 'Q_��� tthft truth of this statement ; and if further evidence is needed surely it j is supplied iu the action of the Government in setting \ aside, exclusively for settlers the thirty million acres of land which reverted-to it upon the termination of the railway reserves. The man who invented the lawn-mower was doubtless a genius, but he created a lot of trouble for his fellows. ��� |We hunt a lawyer when we want to get the best of a neighbor; a doctor when we want, to get the best of ourselves1. The man who courts tenrptat- ion for the purpose of displaying his strength usually ends up by advertising his weakness. If the Laurier Government were a Government of graft as so freely charged by its enemies, the reversion to its control of this im- * mense area of arable land would mean the opening up of an unprecedented opportunity for corruption , on a colossal scale. These millions of acres*could be carved up in laud deals like those of the Roblin Government, for the enrichment of individuals; and the man who would have to meet the enhanced cost to be exacted bv the looters wonld be the settlers. But what course has the Dominion Government, taken in regard to these odd-numbered sections? It has taken a course which absolutely bars out the land speculator. ' The odd-numbered sections are thrown open first to actual homesteaders, and next for sale at the price of $3 per acre, fixed by statue, to men who have already homesteaded, and who can only acquire title by fulfilling settlement conditions on the odd-numbered sections, which they have the right to buy at $3 per acre. The speculator thus cannot get in at all on the odd-numbered sections. They can be obtained only by actual settlers. Does the Ottawa Journal think, or does it not think, that this is to the advantage of "the settler, whose interest the Liberal leaders in 1893 pledged themselves to protect ?" We now come to free homssteads given to settlers. The official annual reports cover six calendar years up to 1900, when a six month's period was made the stepping stone to having- the immigration year and the fiscal year coincide. In 1906 it was decided to have the Dominion's fiscal year end on March 31, and the official year in each of the Government Departments' coincide with the By way of contrast, let us see how many acres the Conservative Government, which granted tens of millions of acres in railway grants, granted to homesteaders. The official records;of the homestead entries during the eighteen years of Conservative administration, from 1879 to 1896, deserve attention. They are given ,in the report of the Department '��� of Interior for 1896, the last issued by a Conservative Minister oi the Interior, as: follows :'.. - 1897 ....:-. 7 4,068 1880-....-... 2,074 .1.881........... _, 2.753 1882-:.:...-. 7���483 1883 v._ 6,063- 1884..........3,753 1885........... 1,858 1886......._ 2^,657 1887 .i.. 2,036 1888...... : 2,655 1889...:....- 4;4l6 1890.... - 2,955 1891... 3,523 1892 ���-- 4-840 1893 ::.... 4,067 1894........-. 3,209 1895. 2.394 1896 1,857 The total*for the eighteen years is 62,199; multiplied by 160,' it gives a total of 9,952,840 acres granted, to; homesteaders under the eighteen years of Conservative rule���homesteaders who j in the closing jtears of the Conservative regime, wore smooth the trails leading across the International boundary, in such numbers did they abandon this country. Thus we have taken the charge made by the Ottawa Journal, which, in much the same terms, is being made by Conservative newspapers frQtn one end of Canada to the other, and put to it the touchstone of fact. At once it reveals itself not as truth but as falsehood, not as a well based charge but as a carefully concoct- cd-slander.

Fire Chief s Recommendations "Gentlemen : ��� During the extremely dry season and the lack of sufficient water supply, I think it advisable that extra precautions should be taken to prevent damage from fire, therefore I wonld advise* that all owners of unoccupied buildings be instructed to securely fasten entrances to such buildings. The building between McRae Bros, and Thomas Drug Co. should be torn down, also the same should be done to the old Pony stables. The fire team should be kept as near tlie fire hall as possible at all times- and on windy days it should be in the fire *' hall, regardless' of any work to do.' In former years the instr uction s were that' the first d uty of the fire driver was the fire department, after that public duty. Lately it seems that he is under instructionsjfrom the ch ief of police after that to attend to street repairing, and, last of all the fire duties. I think the last is the mo8t|important."
