C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1920 "Tell me what you Know is true: I'can guess as well as you." $1.00 PER YEAR ' t3- Frank J. Gonyers, Electrical Engineer, Loses Life in Blaze of Doubtful Origin that Mr..and Mrs. Conyers were under the.impression that it was coa] oil. The house, which was owned by G-eo. E. Massie, was gutted by the .' tire, and although tho brigade was on theground a few minutes after the alarm was turned in, nearly all the contents of the- house were do stro'yed. Frank J. Conyers, an electrical engineer employed as foreman in one of the West Kootenay Power company's construction camps, lost his life in a tragic manner in a fire which broke out at about 9:30 Wednesday morning and destroyed his home, at the foot of Second street The origin of the fire is. still a mystery. Theories are advanced as to how it might, have started, but nothing definite is known. EveD Mr. Conyers, who lived for about four hours after the accident and talked rationally on other subjects, failed to account for it.. The facts in connection with the tragedy seem to be: About" 9:30 in the morning Mr. Conyers got out of bedand wentinto the kitchen to make the fire in the kitchen stove. He had been gone enly a few minutes when he burst into the room where Mrs. Conyers was, his clothing'burned off him, and followed by a sheet of flames. As he fell on the floor, Mrs. Conyers caught him and heroically pulled him outside the house. Then she called for help. First aid was rendered by Mrs. Larsen, whose hospital is close by, and by the neighbors who had respouded to the .; call for help. Dr. Truax shortly ar rived, aud the suffering man was taken to the Grand Forks hospital, where he passed away at about 2 o'clock. He retained consciousness up to the last. It was apparent - from the first that nothing could be done to save his life, as the skin on ; hia entire body was literally burned off him, but everything known to medical science was done to alleviate his suffering; Conyers was about 32 years of age, and he and his wife have been respected- eitizens of Grand Forks for about 'five years. His' parents? livo in Boise, Ida. Mrs. Conyer's brother, Arthur Pierson, took the body of the unfortunbte man to Spokane yesterday, and it will be , interred in that city. Mrs..Conyers was overcome with smoke, and the shock of ihe terrible accident has prostrated her with grief, but she sustained no physical injuries. The most generally accepted theory as to the cause of the fire is, that there must have been an open can of gasoline either in the kitchen or in the woodshed, which adjoined the kitchen (the door between the two rooms is to have been open); that the rooms had become permeated with the fumes of gasoline, aud that when Mr. Conyers struck the match there was an explosion and an instantaneous blaze. But Mr. Conyers, before he died, disclaimed knowledge of there, being/any gasoline in the house, aud Mrs. Conyers is said to have corroborated this statement. Still, those who hold to this view persist in believing that the gasoline, was in the house, and W. J, Galipeau, manager of the Grand Forks Concrete company, re~ turned to Rossland yesterday, aft������r spending the holidays with his family in this "city. Since August last this company has done about $14,. 000 worth of work in Trail and Ross- land. Of this amount, about $11,- 000 was for constructing concrete sidewalks in . Trail. Mr. Galipeau will complete his contracts in Ross- land in two or three weeks, and then he.intends to take a course of training at some factory where concrete pipe is maunfactured inorderto better qualify him tp put in a tender for making the pipe for'the pro posed irrigatisn system in this valley.

One day he hurried to the captain. "S���������s-s-s-s���������" he stuttered. "Ob, I can't be botheredl" said ,the captain angrily.-"Go to somebody else." The man Uied to speak to^ everyone on board, but no one would wait to hear what be bad to say. At last he came to the captain again. "Look here," said the captain, "I can tell you what to do when you want to say anything; you should sing it." Suddenly,in a tragic voice, the man began to sing." Should auld acquaintace be forgot and never brought to mind? The blooming cook's fell overboard and is twenty miles behind. H. Ommanne, who arrived in the city two weeks ago from London, England, committed suicide at his ranch, two miles east of town, on Tuesday evening by taking a dose of cyanide of potassium. He took the poison while sitting in the drawing room shortly after supper, arid expired before medical assistance could be.secured. Mr. Ommanne was in the city on Tuesday afternoon, and bought Joz., or 120 grains of cyanide of potassium at Woodland's drug store. He stated that he wanted the poidon to kill obnoxious animals, and signed for it in the usual way. Two grainsi of this poison, according to the testimony given at the inquest, is sufficient to kill a person. The dose that Mr. Ommanne took, was, therefore, big enough to kill sixty people.' Mr. Ommanne returned home in time for supper, and he was apparently in his usual spirits while" he was at the table with the family, consisting of himself, his wife and the man who is taking care of the ranch, who is a returned Canadian soldier whom Mr. and Mrs. Om-'l manne met in London. After supper Mr. Ommanne retired to the drawing room, the man went out tothe barn to take of the stock, while Mrs. Ommanne busied herself with the housework in the kitchen. In a short time ner husband returned to the kitchen for a glass of water. 'As he retired from the kitchen she noticed that he put something iuto the glass and then stirred the contents with a teaspoon. She was under the impression that he was taking some kind of medicine and paid no attention to him. When the caretaker of the ranch returned to the drawing room from the barn Mr. Ommanne was sitting in a big armchair, apparently tak-j until next spring. Evidently Mr. Ou-iuianue changed his mind since mat time. Mr. Ommanne was an officer iu the imperial army, and he was stationed in India for a number of years. He received his discharge from the seryicein May, 19IS. Some years "ago Lie suffered an apoplexic stroke, and it is said that he never wnolly recovered from this attack. Ui late bis health appeurs to have been bad, and it was stated at the inquest that a few days ago he told' hiB wife that he was afraid he would never be of much use to her in taking care of the ranch. He was about forty-five years of age. Coroner Kingston held an inquest over the remains at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The jury returned a verdict of premeditated^suicide, with a belief that the deceased was mentally unbalanced when he committed the act. The coroner's jury was composed of James Uuoke, foreman; ii. W. Collins, Robert Lawson, J. B. MarkelJ, T. Padgett and Ed Hardy. The remains will be interred in Evergreen cemetery tomorrow.

The speaker was on that easiest of easy tasks, attacking the government, when the heckler .ciied out: "You're wrong, sir!" A little nettied, Taft continued without heeding. Presently, in an swer to another strong assertion, came again: "You're wrong, sir!" Mr. Taft scowled, but continued bis speech. "You're wrong, sir!" again rang out the voice. Angrtly addressing the persistent interrupter, Mr. Taft cried, -'Look here, I could tell this man something about the government that would make his hair stand on end!" "You're wrong again, sir!" came from the critic, as, amid the roars of the crowd, he stood up and removed bis hat. His head was as bald as a billiard ball.

OS with All the members were present at the Jast meeting of the Grand Forks school board. Miss Alice Hutchison, B.A.,of Toronto, honor graduate in classics, was appointed to fill the vacancy in the high school teaching staff caused by the resignation of Miss Mc- Naughton. A petition was received from residents south of the city asking for free conveyance both ways daily for school children in that district. Number of petitioners, seven; number of children to be benefited, twelve. It being understood that a similar pe'tttion had been presented to the education department, the matter was laid over by the trustees : for further information. In connection with the proposed new high school, the education department's supervising architect, . through the provincial government, forwarded plans of a building suitable for the requirements of the city. The plans call for a four-room school, with suitable basement,with accommodation to provide forscience and manual training rooms; The plans are under consideration. The Hon. Dr. MacLean, minister of education, =vrote informing the board that his department will be pleased to contribute 40 per cent of the cost of the proposed building. The trustees, while appreciating the offer, felt that in view of high school facilities being provided for the adjacent district by the city, that the government should at least provide assistance to the extent ol 50 per . per cent. This poini is beiug taken up with Dr. MacLean. Mrs. Forbes Kerky, on behalf of thel.O.D.E., addrsssed tho board in connection with the salute of the schoorxflag and other matters relative thereto. The order (local branch) kindly offered to donate a Hag for each classroom for the purpose of instruction as to its meaning and what it stands for, with a view of inculcating a spirit of patriotism. Tbe board expressed its gratitude and willingness to accept tbe same. Frank Cooke tendered his resignation as school janitor, and Neii lie- Nevin w&s appointed to fill tbe vacancy, his duties to commence January 1, J 1)20, at a salary of 8100 per month. Mesdames Henniger and Cooper and Mr. McKie, who wer'1 appointed by the board last January to (ill the vacancies caused by lack of nominations, resigned their offices in order to allow the electorate an opportunity to express their wishes in the choice of school trustees.

C. OFFICE: COLUMBIA AVENUE AfJBD LAKE STREET. FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1920 Two candidates have announced themselves as being in th ^mayoralty race, thus ensuring a contest for the office of chief magistrate of the city in the coming municipal election. Candidates for aldermen are exhibiting a little more shyness, but it is anticipated that in another week there will be enough of them in thefield to make the election interesting. A council elected by ratepayers is usually more satisfactory to the citizens than a council elected by acclamation. (T~ :=^ .t'H gs One of the knotty points "which has confronted the provincial government in diverse forms during the past year has been the operation of tlie British Columbia prohibition act. Flaws have developed to an extent that neither were anticipated by the framers of the original act nor were they so obvious that their correction could have been effected by legislature at its" last session. It has been found that the prescription has become, a popular- means of procuring the banned liquid under an alleged "medicine label." This is a \matter, however, upon which the public gaze is' focussed at the prosent time and action has been promised. Steady progress, it is stated, is being made with the surveys and in perfecting the initiatory details for the proposed irrigation system in this valley. The department of lands, whose minister has posted himself upon the complex situation existent iu the dry belt of the province, has taken a keen interest in irrigation itfatters. In spite of well-known difficulties, a solution has been found, and the effect oFpolicies designed upon the principle of helping those who help themselves already has begun to be felt. The creation of a con servation fund has enabled the department to do much for a section of the province whose water supply hitherto has been more or less in the lap of the gods. Only 4000 out of a population of 14,000 are left at Verdun, and many of these have ruined homes. Coincidently, Germany is still pleading for sympathy and bewailing the harsh terms of the peace treaty. The other week a decoration which he had won in the Afghan war of 1878 was received by Staff-Sergeant White, in England. He has at least the satisfaction of knowing that he is not the only soldier to suffer from similar procrastination on the part of tjje war office.

C, Jan. 2, 1920. Ladies and Getlemen: Plaving been requested by a large number of the ratepayers of the city to allow my name to stand for nomination for Mayor, I have consented to do so, and if elected I will work for the best interests of our city. I respectfully solicit your vote and influence. G. H. AGRES. We have received a beautiful volume of verse bearing the above title from the publishers, the Victoria. Printing & Publishing- Company, 5*1 Yates street. The book is handsomely bound, and the 170 pages of poems of jove, nature, religion and sociology are artisic- ally printed. The - author is given as . The Prospector, who, it is asserted, is a new British Columbia poet. After reading a number of selections,we have come to the conclusion that the publishers' claim, that the poems "are fragrant with the breatl^of balsams and pines," is correct. To give our readers a clearer idea of the contents of the volume, we reproduce a poem depicting the life and character of a personage who was well known to every old- timer of this district: FATHER PAT We don't go much on parsons, ^ Here in ihe minin' belt Tween 1'ossland and the Similkameen; But there was one we felt A most uncommon likin' for��������� You take mv word for that:��������� The latch-strng hung outside each door For good friend Father Pat. He bore the Church of England brand, ���������But didn't bank on creeds; His way to hearts was not with words, Bat helpful, Iovin' deeds. Though we were hard to work-upon,��������� Not readily enticed��������� . We called him the first Christian That ever lived���������since Christ. He never peeked at keyholes, Nor fought the cigarette; He never frowned on lager beer, Nor games of chance,���������-and yet, I think that if there is a place Where good souls get their dues, They'll find room there for Father Pat, 'Fore preachers you might choose.. He never built no churches, Nor learned to primp or pose; His shoes were red and dusty, And he never wore good clothes: Flis manners were just Christian,��������� Becomin, meek and mild, And he loved each rough-neck miner Like a mother loves her child. If one of us was ailin' He'd take his pack and hike To that cabin in the mountains Where illness chanced to striks, And he never thought of leavin' Till all was right and well:��������� And that's why most us miners won't Meet Father Pat in hell. He-died: we built a monument At Eossland, on the hill, And many sun burned prospectors Chipped in to pay the bill; And when I look upon it A great big tear-drop starts;��������� But it's nothin' to the monument He biiilt within our hearts. Looting Alter the Children's Eyes Several weeks of lonp winter evenings are ahead of us. With the use of artificial light, it is.,a trying time for the eyes. If slight defects already'exist, :> dim or unsteady light will greatly aggravate the situation. This is particularly true among children, whose vitality and power of resistance is much lower than grown-ups. Inflamed lids, styes, headache and watery feyes are almost sure indications of some sort of eye trouble. If your child, has trouble with his eyes^ bring him in and let us examine his eyes. A. D.

How many large concerns can you name in any large \ city in the country? Name them and you will notice that all are big advertisers and -all are leaders in their lines. Ask your friends to name the most successful merchants they know in the big cities, and in each case the name ot a great advertiser will be mentioned. The same rule is true of smaller citiej' and towns. The. successful merchants are the advertisers. The advertiser stamps himself as one having confidence in himself and his Wares, as one proud of his calling and seeking publicity and the test of patronage. ^ in @? ite&sfsg *asJ Qttf/ ^Ic^rPvfii^ Sps-B "|[ ������|g) $S StSrSS M wmimwwwmmmMBmammmmmMMmimtam ���������mumwmjummn THE SUN.
