BUAKEMAN DONALD CAMPBELL. SERIOUSLY INJURED : KNGINEER DONALD BROOKS CARSON, The accident occurred abaut 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, at Mc- Neillie Siding, about four miles east nf Creston. \ freight train was engaged In shunting cars at McNcillic siding, order to get the track clear for tlie ens tho nml passenger train, and Just as the engine and tender, which were detached from the freight, were in the act nf backing on to the main track from the side track, the engine iu some unaccountable manner fumped the rails and plunged down a steep embankment about 150 feet in depth. Ou tbe engine at the time it made its fatal plunge, were Kngineer Carson, Brakeman Campbell, as well as Fireman Ford. Campbell and Ford were killed nutii-rht and were under the engine lying 150 feet below the track, while Engineer Carson, although receiving a broken leg aud other internal injuries, was not killed outright. He was ta'-en to Creston on a hand ear, where his wounds were dressed by Dr. Henderson, after which be was put ou the noon passenger train und hrmighl in to tbe St. Eugene hospital. At the St. Eugene hospital Engineer Carson received the best of medical skill and attention, hut all to no avail. It was found necessary tn amputate one of his tegs, and be did not long survive tbe operation, passing away at an early hour on Monday morning. The three victims oi this disaster were all quite young men, well and favorably known in Cranbrno't and naturally their sudden calling oil created nn little consternation throughout the community. Wide- surcad sympathy was expressed lor ibe widow of Donald Carson and the utmost kindness was shown tn the aged father of Donald Campbell, who on receipt of word of lhe fatality ni Fleminf. sk. ii i*§Mal lahc the n main.-, of a b< loved sou home fm Interment.

THE INQUEST. On Saturday afternoon Coroner E, Mallandaino 'held the inquest on tho remains nf tlie dwid lireiuau and brakeman whose bodies Provincial Constable K. Jensen brought to Creston on the same train that brought Coroner Mallandaino there. The jury consisted of the following: Foreman, Sydney Poole, Geo. A. Laurie, A. ' French, (*. I'. Kiel, Stuart Graham and M. I*'. Dieth- rick. After Ihr formal viewing of the bodies nf the dead nien hy tlie jury aud the hearing of the evidence of the conductor and second brakeman of the wrecked train, the jury decided to visit the scene of the wreck for the purpose nf investigating the cause of the accident, for which purpose a special train was provided by Superintendent Brownlee, of Cranbrook. Alter arriving ut McNeillie siding and making as gnnd an investigation as the fast fading daylight would permit, of, the jury and coroner slarted hack tn Creston, hut not without a mishap, for when their I rain had gnne about a mile out nt McNeillie siding it ran into a mud slide causing a delay of more than an hour before the extra gang hud cleared the track. Tbe mud slide on (his occasion covered the track for about fifty feet tn a depth nf from eight to ten inches. After getting ihe track cleared the train proceeded to Creston, arriving about H o'clock in the evenin- when tho Inquest was resumed. After deliberating further on the matter the jury concluded that they had better have aoothcr Inspection nl the place of the fatal wreck and adjourned till II a.m. Monday morning in order that they might gn again to McNeillie siding and make a more thorough inspection by good daylight, which they accordingly did. On Monday mornlno the Inquest was again adjourned till 1.30 the same dav until niter the arrival of lhe westbound train, as it was expected that Superintendent Brownlee would give evidence at the Inquest.

Lots ot people farm too much land, It requires too much investment in teams and implements. There are thousands uf farmers wbo reach a certain point ami cannot get further. It takes the entire earnings to keep up the wear and tear. As tho teams ami implements shrink iu value they must be replaced and there are lots of other things which compel the earnings to pay tho expenses. In such instances it would pav better to make a sale and get down to money earners—cows, hens, fruit and bees. Keep as little as possible tied up in big things that shrink, Very often the price of a bor.se, team *.r farm implements turned into poultry would open up a tin brighter prospect. MIXED FARMING The truth is lhat condensed fanning und poultry raising is the hotter wav and smaller investments tiring greater returns. Poultry brings an endless chain of returns or revenue, aa it places tlie farmer on a cash basis. Tlie store hills do nut oat up his earnings. Nothing upsets or disturbs the lien, year in ami nut she is making money for us. Droughts um) panics are trivial things to lier. If you are overworked at oilier occupations, it you wish to recuperate your health or want to work for yourself ■ you can de|ieud on the poultry business. THE LIMIT. I am often asked how manv liens should one person cure lor—definitely 1 could not answer und lie sincere— as a guess, I would say one thousand. So much depends un tbe kind of person. My honest conviction is tiiat a man anil wife should go partners. They could easily do su. When tlie number uf liens is above one thousand, tbey should be separated at least a quarter of a mile. Oi course I am approximating now. 1 am speaking ol conditions oh tlie (arm. To raise ur care fur the same number uf hens in limited space means another tliinn. Five hundred hens are very prtilituhlf uu two acres o( ground, ur one thousand on five acres; but we need tu manage it differently. We should plough up and work over the smaller space, as Iresh soil is a disease exterminator—it affords work lor the fowl. To sow it in rve means green stub lor the lowl. The smaller amount uf ground does not of necessity mean lesser profits. We must make up uur mind that the space requires extra wurk and care, and it also means that we must bv artificial means supply lots ul stuff that the fowl would get from unlimited space. I never personally tried it but I believe that 500 liens could lie successfully managed on an acre (one acre) of ground. Anyhow, I would not be atraid to try the experiment on one halt acre. The right lime to begin is right now. Early hatched pullets will make the fall and winter layers, and the early hatched bring a giiod price as broilers. It is also the earlv hatched that win the prizes at the shows, also tbe early hatched are best for breeding purposes. To hatch in cold weather is all right if you have a suitable building for the young chicks. Thev quickly become acclimatized if given a warm refuge. There is not an unprofitable month In the year, except July. Fall hatched chicks bring good prices as winter broilers and the pullets begin laying with the first warm spring davs. The best months FOR HATCHING are as follows: March, April, Mav and June. Where there is plenty of room the poultry business should be run as an egg farm. To conduct an egg farm for tbe greatest possible profits the old hen must be replaced with pullets every fall. By this plan we have tlie cockerels to sell as broilers; also the sale ol the old stock. This plan will make an income the year around. To succeed to the highest point we must get acquainted with tlie traits ol tin' lowl. For instance, some ol them mav lie drones while others will make a KiHid record as layers. In the latter instance such hens could be held over and believe me, it jiays well to set her eggs. Eggs all the year around nre a graid price and it pays best to sell while they are Iresh, although some people claim that thev have methods of holding them Irrsh for months. In a* case it pavs to look up a special market, where the very top price can be bad. Tlie average grocer tabes vour eggs to accommodate vou. He pusses them along in dirty old eases to market (and often he does not get the highest prices either.) Look up your own market und ship In decent cases and carditis. You will get Irom (He to ten cents advance on the dozen. Get cartons and put fancy wrappers over them with vour inline und address. You can then liiu.st the sanitary wav ol raising poultrv. You can add still mure value lie lining tlie carton wilh delicate tissue paper, but lur goodness sake do nol put dirty shells into nire en cartons, ns it will spoil the appetizing l„„k ut tl* eggs* AN EYE OPENER A widow lady moved to ('lav Center, Nebraska, U.S.A., and not finding suitable employment at lier regular occupation, she conceived tlie idea that it would pay to establish an egg buying business and handle It on new lines. This was her plan: She would pay cosh for eggs and would not accept any that were not strictly fresh. She would wash the shells when needed. Instead of shipping in ordinary cases, as is usually done, she would use pasteboard boxes ami cartons, holding one dozen each, and then pack the cartons in new ordinary e»g cases. She would sort the cartons with nice tissm* llnim* nml with nice labels printed on the lid. She (the -widow lady) then visited several cities, opened up a correspondence with a number ot groeery- iiii'ii, who had the higb-clnss city trade. Her proposition was to furnish them with strictlv fresh eggs. In a short time she bad worked up n money making business. She not only had work lor herscll.

POULTRY HOUSE. In the poultry business, as in the banking business, it is the savings (hat go towards big dividends. The old Baying "look after the cents, the dollars are hig enough to look after themselves," is suggestive even if not entirely true. To make the must money at poultrv raising we must batch every egg raise every chick that is raisahie. In poultry houses, coups and appliances, if an organ box can be utilized fur a brooder, shelter, and the brooder removed after the chicks do not need artificial heat, we are then getting at something prac- sical. My advice tu all poultry people is to build their houses to their own plans, unless they can lind a better plan than their own and one that they know to he a success. Do not put faith ia the blue prial average plan, which are hut the creation ol a blue print ar sist, who perhaps knows nothing about poultry raising. Their rainbow theory maybe was hatched tip with their logs under the counter, All they know about chickens is tlie kind thev eat up al the hotels, The must successful common sense brooder house I ever saw was building made octagonal (or eight sided) shape, with a hard coal beater in the center. Individual brooders were used around next to the walls. This same house saved a lot of Leghorn combs, the following winter. Ileus must he kept warm at nisht, and have a warm place to lay aud dust themselves in. Let them out into the straw shed where they can keep themselves warm by scratching in tho straw for their breakfast. The front of the shed should face the smith and he at least eight feet high, sloping hack and boarded up at the front three or four feet from the ground and the rest of tho eight feet closed un with double cheese cloth to let tbe linht in, and keep the cold wind out while they are at work. Let up on the dope nonsense and llx up a food as follows: (Twice each week during cold weather, then your fowls will be healthier, which means i'ggs without injurious dopes). Take a peck of bran, two pounds of cut cabbage, one pound fine cut meat and scraps and two pounds of mashed boiled cold potatoes, mix all with the bran, put iu one tablespoon salt, then pour mi warm water aud mix until it is all thoroughly dampened. This is for one hundred fowls, Give it to them in the at- tcrnoon. For goodness sake do not pen up the fowl in a small, poorly ventilated place aud then go to doctoring them to get eggs. If you do vou will need a drug store 'attachment to your lieu house before vou will finish vour poultrv experiences. Health in the flock is the first consideration. Profits follow health. Put the same common sense into the construction of your poultrv house that you would into vour dwelling house. Do not nail tbe interior fixings so that you cannot change them. Make a change every month of the fixtures in the hen house. Mens love change as well as we do iu our home. Keep the house nice and clean at all times. In the afternoon pay them an extra visit when thev are penned up in winter, and take something extra along to give them. My partner (the wife) and I go in, the bens soon learn to C0IT.J around and look up into vutir face fur a mouthful of something nice to eat. Tbey enjoy vour visit. Sometimes we sing a little to them In a few minutes thev also set 011 to sing, some, however, van it hv cackling. Hy this \nii mav know that tbey are contented and happy. In summertime, when thev arc running out (nnd I have been gone all dav to town) and I return thev see me coming through the gate, which Is about live hundred yards away, tbey will come half wav down to meet me, just like little children running to meet their father to get the candy and nuts. Then while I am unhitching they gather around me and look up ns if thev, too, wanted candies. They seem to chatter and say, we have been good hens—wc have laid lots nf eggs. 1 alwavs bring something to give them. Do tbis a few times and they will soon learn to welcome you home. Some say ' the hen is a brainless fowl. I ben leave to differ, for just I a fit summer, old "Red Neck/' as we called her, had eight little chicks (live of them were Leghorns aud the other three were white Plymouth Rocks), when thev were about four weeks old she wanted them to come upon the most, when the hens were rmisllmr The five leghorns got up nil right, but the three Plymouth Rocks could not llv up. She (the mother ben) lelt tlie five Leghorns unon the ronst and hovered the three little chicks upon tbe ground (and vet they say the hen is brainless.) (live the hen the best room for she is worthy of it, 1 do not believe thut Micro is a successful man or woman in the poultry business that has not got one or more pet hens. Pot hens on their own account. I mean the kind that persists in being friendly, the kind that will come into the house and lay in tlie wood box and other places, that lay and cackle eternally right under your nose. In short, a general nuisance, but it would take a hard-hearted desperado to barm her. Just let her lay and save her eggs and set them, and 1 will guarantee that through that method you can build up a strain of fowls that are mortgage lifters, mid panlcproof. j.ove and cherish her, let her lay in your bat if she wants to. She can have mine every day of the week. I like to have them around, that egg song of theirs is certainly a harmonious piece of music. The time and chords are perfect, a great ileal mole sn than sonic of the su-called classical music, lhat one can hardly figure out whether they are playing the tune or Inning up the instrument, Kor my part the egg song is 0. K. and the rooster accompaniment does not spoil it a bit e'en though be may imt Ite in time or iu tune. William Bartholomew, Cherry Creek, B, C. (To he continued.) ST. PATRICK'S DAI AT FOOT STEELE HAPPY RE-UNION OP OLD-TIMERS-JOE WALSH COVERS' HIMSELF WITH GLORY. Titers is sour, indefinable, elusive charm about Fort Steele as far removed irum the possibility of description as the magic ot a perlecl phrase of music or tile perfume of a Violet. One will say it all lies in the quiet grandeur ol the nearby Rookies; another will attribute it to the still, calm strength ol the river stealing down to the Pacific with the wreckage of the mountains in its breast; a third will credit the spell of its enchantment to its people—(or they are charming. Perhaps the influence is born of all three, perhaps of something outside all three, lint il is there, whatever it is. Forty-live years' ago Qalbralth's Ferry, as it was then called, most splendidly celebrated St. Patrick's day, ami ever since the festival ol Ireland's national saint has been whole-heartedly honored. Nor was this vear an ' exception—except that the occasion about broke the record. William Carlin, Joseph Walsh, Al Doyle and John Kelly formed themselves into a committee responsible for the celebration and issued invitations lor a masquerade hall. At once there was a response from all parts of the Kootenay valley—Cranbrook, Marysville, Kimbcrlev, Canal Plat, Fernie, KIko, Hull River and many an other point. Boys ami girl's galore; old timers ami voung timers Jerry Sullivan appeared in a silk hat, purchased without the slightest regard lor cost at the Hudson's Day- store at Calgarv, which, as the saying is, "you could shave yoursell in," such was tlie glossy lustre thcrcot VI. Doyle has added it to Iris famous collection ol natural curiosities of llora and fauna, and will wear it, as his coroiK't of state, when the occasion ol the first train passing through Fort Steele over the Kootenay Central is celebrated. You might travel all day on the 21st ol June next and not find a man who is tin* better fit for that hat, that most glorified silk "topper." Hy six o'clock on the evening ol the 17th every room in even* hotel was occupied so that the ' crowd overflowed into many ol the private houses. Hy the time the masquerade was set to commence the hotel lobbies were crowded with Ovpsies, Indian maidens, nvmphs, fairies, godesses ol the moon, queens ol night all black and twinkling stars a Venus or two, a hall scocc ol witches, clowns, Hindoos, soldiers, sailors, heathen, Jews, blackamoors and other "varmints," to wit, i brace ol brutally realistic monkeys And they were all masked sn that their very mother-in-law would not know them—and that is saving something large, and succulent and true as truth itself. Hy nine o'clock the entire floor space ol the big hall was packed to the doors and the dancers "dancing In tunc"—(that is Irom Tennyson, though you would not think so il you stopped to wonder how a dancer could dance oul ol tune) to Mr. Corrison's most excellent orchestral music. Down all the way Irom Canal Flat had come J. F. Dailey to lake charge ol tin* floor. He had his work cut out lor him since there was less floor than dancers, but he was not ..lone Master ol the Revels hut also master ol the occasion. In the beginning ordinary introductions were ol no use since no one knew who his neighbor was; hut alter a while the boys began to make Shrewd guesses. '. I know who you are," a man would say You an-—'' "However in lift, did vou guess'1 the girl would say. That was a certain sign thai the man was wrong, hut il Ih* was right vou would hear something like tins, "Jessie ! Indeed. I'm not. A nasty, spiteful, bold-laced minx! You pay me a |mor compliment to mis- lake me lor that girl." "Well even II I'm wrong," said the voung lellow. "I can't let vou speak like thul ot Jessie. You see I like Jessie." Next minute tlie pair ol then were whirling In a waltz, ol course it was Jessie, all Oh* time. Hv and hy there was a roar ol laughter as the brace ol monkeys appeared. One was a jolly, lat-looklng "monk," all right, and a shade or so too heavy lor rapid dancing, but the caper that the other lad cut and the wav he curled his most Insolent itail round the neck nl his twiner in the dance was a holy caution. I Adjournments appeared to he very popular with the men. You see, there were a couple ol lellows down | at the hotels they wanted to sec in the worst way on matters ol urgent ; business. Thev came back on all occasions mightily* rclrcshcd. ! When the time lor unmasking came all the dillicultles as to who was really who disappeared, and as every one knows every one else in Port Steele the dance swaved on and to line music, chccrfullv nflcred and splendidly played till daylight did appear over the mountain "SALADA" Si the same wherever or whenever you buy it—always of unvarying good quality.

Full justice was done tlie excellent ■upper, provided by Messrs. J Boyes and I,. Bent Then the chairman. S. Griffiths, invited Mr F. Ogle, of the Herald stall, to tay a few- words. Mr Ogle -bait briefly with Certain aspects of the trade union question, expressing tin- opinion lhat thr day of industrial strl.es was over aud that it was up to wage workers to take s more intelligent interest in polities and civic affairs and thai unless they did so thev would hr down and out. He also pointed out in this eonneetion that the seven labor measures introduced at tbe late session nf the legislature bad la-en thrown out by the provincial government and urged them to ask. Why The chairman next called upon the guest of the evening, paying a high tribute to "Sam" for his untiring devotion to the cause of labor and wishing him success In his new venture f'pnn coming forward to respond, brother *'Ssm" met with a reception that testified unmistakably to bis popularity among his brother workers. In thr course of his remarks Mr* McDonald said that whatever he had done tn the cause of trade unionism he had done with single eye tn dutv, aud that sn far as the cause which Ihey all had at heart was concerned, he could only echo the remarks nf the previous speaker.

It is coming to light that an uncomfortable number of Italians in our country habitually carry concealed weapons.

Whilst Hi'- ottendnnco al Tuesdaj evening's meeting was very representative, still there were several umong Cranbrook's foremost business men conspicuous in ihelr absence. Tliis is nol as ii should in-, nnd if .Mr. Iirymuer ami his colleagues on the executive board, are to accomplish ii«< lies! results they must bavc nt theli hacks the active, enthusiastic support ol every business man in town. Tho 'l cision reached by the board to join with Pernio in (he or- (tantaaifoh ol an Vssociatcd Board for Kast Kootenay must ho highly commended. Si uh an organization will In- in a position in give attention in ami odvancee lhe Interests of the whole <>f Kul Kootenay. The movement in favor of co-operation wilh tbe C.P.tt. tt) make ul the proposed V.M.l'.A. n truly civic Innutrition will undoubted!) lie productive of much good, ll arrange incuts can in- made wherchv tlto building will be erected within tho city limits ami supplemented by lhe addition ol a swimming bath ami gvmnasium, a great deal will have net n accomplished, Such an Institution is undoubtedly needed iu Cranbrook, imt onlj lur the benefit ol tho C.P.R. employes, Iml ror tho use and advantage of tlio voung men uf tbe cllv eenerallv. The council will he well advised if Ihey decide lo i tke generous nctlon in the matter. The Victoria ■'< lonisl rcmarVs: "The Crnnbrool Herald thinks the nttortiRV-gei eral o ight to Investigate the statements mule bv .Mr. Macgnwan in the legislature relative to a member of tho British Columbia judiciary. There is reallj nothing fur the nl tm ■•('■. -general lo invest I ante, Mr Mncgownn eltose to make certain stall-nil ni:,, Imt ii js no part of the duty ol the attorney-general to examine Into allegations, which anv member of the house mav sec m lo utter. lie cm only probe specific allegations brought to his attention officially, This has not been done iu tbe matter referred to." The Colonist's attitude in this connection is somewhat unintelligible. ft is freely concedod that the attor- ney-goneral is tlio guardian of the honor of the bench ami bar in this province and to suggest that some more formal action on the part of Mr. Macgowan i.s necessary to bring to the official notice ol the attorttcv- goneral tho grave chargos definitely ami unqualifiedly preferred against one of the supreme court iudges of tlie province, savors of the absurd. In clear cut, unmistakcablo language, .Mr. Macgowan, on tho Hour of the legislature, preferred ibe most ser ions charges against Hon. Mr. Justice Clements, Tho nltorncy>gonornl was I)reset)I at Iho lime ami heard Mr Macgowan1 s remarks, full reports of which havo appeared in alt Hie leading papers ol ibe province. If lhe poitrl hi- insisted upon that \\y. Macgowan has not as yet made specific chargos, in view id what he did sav and lhe publicity given therc- to, th" attorney-general should certainly insist upon Mr. Macgowan making his charges specific, so that lie mav he in a position to probe ami either disprove or substantiate ihem, in order that the public may know ilu- true inwardness thereof and the bench of this province cleared of the aspersions under which it now rests. PREPARING NEW LAND FOR CHOI'S. Al the last meeting of the Cranbrook Fanners' Institute, the lollowing paper on "Preparing new land for crops ami planting frull trees" was read by John Levett: In response to your request for Information regarding preparing the land for crops would sav that 1 have found, after farming in ami around ihis vicinity for twenty years, thai it is very little use to just break up this new land in the spring and ex- peel to raise a crop the lirst season. It is almost sure to he a failure. People, fur instance, coming from the east expecting to liml the land the same as in Ontario ot other eastern parts of Canada arc lisappolntcd. There, when you break up new land it is an ideal place lu errow almost any kind uf a runt crop, especially potatoes, but If vou ilu thai here you will hardly get vour seed hac'-i, no matter whether rout crop, ur grain, ur fruit, it is all the same. That has been my experience in this pari of the vallev. The laud here has to be well worked up. cultivated and manured a full season, as it don't seem to have any life in it till you have done that , and then if you' can get water ami manure it, it is surprising what can he grown mi some of this land. What is meant hv working the land up thoroughly? Some icoule might think that by plough Ing il once and harrowing a few limes would he good enough, hut my plan is In plough three or four iimes at Intervals through the sea son and harrow good after each ploughing, which will lake out roots ur anv other rubbish that may l.c in the land, the harrow is a splendid imulcment, wliich leaves the limd in such a shape as it forms a mulch and that prevents the moisture from escaping, which would othorwiso ho lost. If anyone will notice, ufter a heavy rain the land will he lashed down and crusted over In a dav or after, it will he Cull of little cracks. Thai is tho moisture get- ling away, and thai is why we gel in wilh 'uur cultivator or harrow, which puis a slop lo thai by forming a mulch so as In gel the whole benefit uf ihe rains that fall, li is surprising to see su manv gardens and Holds Where Hie w ceds are left to grow all summer, smothering oul the erup ami also drawing lhe nulrl n i and moisture mil uf the land therefore robbing the plants uf what tllO) should got, ami then people wonder why their crop Is a failure. It can hardly be expected lo grow both with profit. Another mistake a good many make is nol to gel Iho laud ploughed in lhe (all, where It is possible In dn ii, as there is nothing equal lo Jack Frost, as he is the best pulverizer thai we have and the winter mould dues nol dry oul like spring nluughlng , therefore. It is much better for any clop. Last spring I set nut one hundred apiile trees on the ranch at Fori Steele, on a piece uf land that had been in potatoes ami iu good shape for planting fruit. We laid nil each row 32 feet apart and then dug out holes three feel wide and two feel deep, and when planting lhe trees, care was taken nut lu pul anv of the dead soil hack into Hie holes, untiling hut gnud, rich earth, as [ think it is a mistake to set them Into a post holo ami expect litem to grow. I harrowed the ground at Intervals all through the season tu keep moisture iu, anil weeds down. They made good growth, some of Ihem growing three feet, wliich I thought was good as last season was a hard one. John Levett. CARD OF THANKS. Mr. ami Mrs II.

U. are getting into line for the further conduct of the local option campaign, and undoubtedly whatever course shall he decided oil for future action they are prepared, as in the past, to do their share. The Vancouver unious have nobly led in that they have already volunteered to contribute the sum of two hundred dollars to the provincial local option league for the present year's work. Victoria will consider what it will do at their next meeting, and other unions have the matter under contemplation. As a result of our appeal to tiie thirty-eight unions throughout the province that they will undertake the circulation of the local 00tion paper in their respective localities, already a number of responses have been received. As wc stated iu our letter to the unions, every business man, every home should be canvassed, and their subscriptions to the paper secured. It will contain information from time to time regarding the liquor traffic wliich every business man should understand, as well as to keep the progress of the local option movement before the citizens of the province In undertaking to thus assist the paper, our unions will have the privilege of using its columns for their own work This will be most helpful to our work in view of the fact that our provincial W.C.T.I', has not an official organ through which to circulate its doings, as has Ontario, Quebec and even our near neighbors, Alberta and Saskatchewan. A number of the unions have done splendid work in connection with the franchise campaign. The indefatigable Vernon president writes: "We have done everything wc were asked to." How manv can sav the same thing? Victoria union has been devoting its energies for some months past to securing a home for its Men's mission, and at last they have secured property situated in the very heart of the downtown sect inn of the city, at a cost of SlU.OUf-. oi this amount is.ouu,. the first payment, has been made, while nearly S70U additional tor the re-arrangement and renovating of the premises has bmi raised. This effort is largely due to the dcvoti-d energies ol two of the union's oldest and most valued workers—Mrs. Gordon Grant and Mrs. William Grant. Hy March -ilst it is eipeeted the building will be ready tor occupancy, and the workers look forward to largely increased work under the most favorable conditions. This important work arranged for, the union will then be more free to devote its energies more fully lo the interests of local option. Indeed, we believe that every union will rally t-o tbe need, aud instead of losing interest in any degree, wilt, with greater determination, stand hy tbe issue until not only the eighteen plan's which so splendidly declared for local option, hut every constituency in the province has what is its undoubted right—the privilege of dealing with the traffic in strong drink according to tlie will of the people.

Sold hy all druggists nnd 1-tt Excorpt from a report of the meeting of the Western Brunch of the Canadian Mining Institute, held at Vancouver, February 25th: "Mr, Trew.ii lha-. James proposed that the meeting should ask tho Dominion government to remove the duty from oxygen breathing apparatus, wliich is used in colliery accidents to save life. The removal of the dutv would encourage mine operators to equip their mines with such apparatus. The United States government had already made arrangements for Hie free admission of life- saving apparatus; and he thought that Ihey might well expect the Dominion government to take a similar course, "At the requesl of the chairman, Mr. K* ...ii ,1,11 explained what had been nunc in the direction of providing liie saving i-vparulus in mines across Uiu International boundary. Ho said the coal operators in the State of Washington, had equipped Iheir mines wilh Hie oxygen h rea thing apparatus, which was uniform and was Interchangeable from one mine to another. Almost all those mines were equipped with complete units. The United Slates government, had exempted such apparatus from dutv on entering the country, which was an Important consideration in connection with the acquisition of this class of equipment. Apparatus ran from $50 to $2(111 per unit; and with the heavy customs dutv in Canada of somewhere in the neighborhood of 33 per cent, it was a matter of uu 10 $IJU per suit. As a mine would require three or four suits, and as il was a matter of nival moment to the mining industrv, the apparatus should come in dutv fret?, which would he an inducement to mine owners in British Columbia to adopt it. There was ur such apparatus, either good, had, or indifferent, manufactured in Kngland but it was more extensively manufactured in (iermany. Me suggested that the Dominion government sin 1 ul (I he approached on the subject through the hon. the minister of mines (Hon. Wm. Templeman.) "Mr. S. J. Castlemau said he assumed that the procedure would be for the Dominion government to issue an ordcr-iii-ciiimcil, placing such equipment on the free list. He thought that the provision of life- saving apparatus for the coal mines of the province was a very important matter and that it would not be inopportune to start from that meeting a movement among the eoal mining interests for concerted action iu providing such apparatus, with a view to having a uniform standard, so that the apparatus could be interchanged, as was tlie case in the State of Washington. They had all been shocked and horrified at the recent terrible accidents in the middle west; and they could not tell when thev might have an experience of tbal nature nearer home. It would lie a matter of congratulation, if. When such an experience did arise, they had this life-saving apparatus and their equipment ami organization was in such shape that the apparatus of neighboring collieries could lie brought Into service. Thev, In against the deep laid schemes of bloated capitalists. The working classes ran over each other to vote for "my friend Mr. Caven," as the premier called him, and there is now no necessity of throwing away sorrow or -displaying anger, because they have only got what was coming from the combination. As for the Bowser Liquor Act, it was just a little too good to be the real thing. Conservatives were never known to handle the liquor trade with a restraining hand. Don't the trade sell their poison at all hours that suits them and their card room games arc winked at? During the session McKeiv/.ie and Mann's schemes were endorsed. Timber licenses made perpetual. These important interests properly cared for there was no further work of a legislative character worth doing* Tlie railroad men and the timber men being made all right and the liquor act sure to he disallowed, it was time lo draw the allowance and gi home. That any ■question of 1 social nature required attention ncv er dawned on those Solons. That anv drastic steps to clear the province of the social evil should lie taken, was a thing not to he spoken of. It was said of the clcct-e-d prosentatlves of the Kootonays after the last election that tbey were of a varied character, among them being a man who was the smartest gamh lor in the province and of another that he was a mere barroom buffoon. Whether these descriptions are true or not I do not say, hut of men of whom such can he said, it is useless to look for action in the direction of social reforms. What can he said of electors who could vote for such men? I am afraid mv remarks are too lengthy, 1 must thank vou and close. Another Elector. Mayook, H. C, March 21, 1910.

Dear Sir: Owing to the manv im port-ant subjects dealt with in the memorial presented by the delegation representing tbe executive of the Trades and Labor Congress ol Canada, and representatives of organized labor of British Columbia, who waited upon the government on the Slat January last, I egret that 1 have been unable sooner to communicate t»i vou the decisions arrived at. The executive council has, however, earefuiiv considered the various matters set out in the memorial, nnd 1 beg to state as follows: With reference lo sections 1 and 2, asking for the abolition of property qualification for holding public office and for the abolition uf the election deposit, it is not the Intention ol the gov* mm CD I lo niter the law in this respect al the present time. No. .1,—Ynu will note hv the amendment In the Assessment Act thai while the exemption un incomes still remains al SI.000, the tax has been decreased during the session just closed from U per cent to I per cent It has nol been found possible lo abolish the poll tax, and I inii:M point out that without siicli a tax the great inn-oritv of Asiatics in ihis province would altogether escape taxation. No 4.—The eovernment dues not see its way to interfere with the present arrangements as to hours of labor. No. .1.—At the present time there is iu government contracts a provision that the contractor shall pay all persons employed hv him not'less than the wages current in the district in which the work is being carried on for competent workmen ami laborers. No. «.—Provision was made In the estimates this year for a grant of $20,000 to the Tranquille sanitarium and tlie government has decided to give that institution the same aid towards maintenance as hospitals receive under the Hospital Act. The erection of a building for advanced stages of tuberculosis is now reeelv- im' attention from the government. Go. 7.—At the session just ended the government brought In legislation providing for the inspection of tramways, No. 8,—The question as to bakeries will be taken up with tlie inspector. Nn. 0,—After earefuiiv considering this matter the executive has decided that tlie provisions with reference tn the holdin? of inmtcNts are snili- eientlv strlnrent to fully safeguard the nubile interest. No. 10.—The amendment to lhe Land Act missed at the on-sent session deals nrinefimllv with the ten- ment is awaiting llic final ronort id the commission before ilccldlti" i*|"*ii Ihe general policy lu be pursued regarding timber. No. 11.—The government does nol at present contemplate the establishment of parental schools. Legislation has been passed bringing into force ibe .Juvenile, Courts Act, and the government desires to observe ihe effects of its workings. No. 12.—With regard to tlie amendments to the School Act submitted by the Vancouver school board, it is the intention of the education de partment to extend the principle of issuing free text books so as eventually to include all public and high schools. The cost at the present time, however, is too great to permit or (his being done all at once. No. 13.—An amendment to tbe Steam Boilers' Inspection Act, 1001, has been passed at lhe present session to meet certain cases, but this does ncit affect the efficiency of the act regarding qualification for engineers. 11.— The executive council ttoCS not contemplate government ownership of coal mines, lumber industries or telephones as requested in this section.

R. hrake- iiiiin, sworn, deposed as follows: "About five minutes to eleven in the morning 1 dropned oil just this side of MeNeillto's Hag. I did not come in until I was called. I knew nothing about the accident until after I came in. I never noticed anything wrong with the engine, tender or wheels. Alter 1 came in I helwd to gel Campbell out from under the en- glne, which was lying well down the hank, near tlie river. There were extra men; there was no track walk er to warn the crew of any danger. I noticed nothing wrong with the track." V. Illiss, conductor, sworn, said: "About 11.15 this morning I stopped at McNeil lie's to set out boarding cars, being in charge of freight train extra No. 857. I cut the boarding cars oil the train at the east switc.i and pulled the train in between the switches and came through tlie siding with a light engine going cast. I was backing in through the s de track and had opened the cast switch to couple the engine on to the hoarding cars, with the intention of bringing them down through the passing track to put them in on the west local track.

The speed was not more than five miles an hour. I was standing on the main line alongside the boarding cars ahout six car lengths away east of the east switch. I followed the engine and tender down, but could not do anything on account of the steam. I did not see anything wrong with the track when the engine wns backing. I could see Fireman Foul sitting iu the cab on the left side of the engine. I saw the brakeman standing un the steps on the Bide of the tender on the engineer's side. I have been behind the engine and tender for the last two trips. The engine was not a regular freight engine. As far ns I know there was nothing tlto matter with either the tires or the ' fiances of the wheels of either tlie endue nr the tender. I cannot account or suggest any reason why the !tender went ofi. It might have been from a rolling stone. 1 felt perfectly justified in backing llie engine and tender on to the passing track. To the best of my knowledge it was not caused b'* anv negligence of the company or its employes." A. ('.'Harshaw, acini' sii"'-nnleii 1- cnt of the ('. I». K., said: "The engine was 857. I found her wrecked and down the bank at McNeillie siding, close to the east switch with meeting track. I did not find anything wrong with them. A brake beam dropping down would he likely to cause a derailment. In the present instance they are intact; I did not notice a break in the brake roil on the tender. A chain dropping would not derail a tender; in fact 1 do not think a brake rod would do it* It might have been on account of sand on the rail or sand on the ties. This might on a light load cause the wheels to ctimb. I don't think that there is :■ v that the wheels or trucks would bind and not follow the rail. Small rocks or mud might cause the wheels to clinch. I think there were plenty of men to keep the track clear. I consider the right-of-way and track in safe condition. There would be probably a loot in a fill level beyond the tie. There arc special watchmen on day ami night ami everything to protect the trainmen and passengers. 1 do not know of any particular order lur men to keep the to- of the rails clear when shoveling mud across; it is the rule of the company to do it. I do not know whether thut had been complied with when the wreck occurred. The trainmen, including the eiu'inei-r ami fireman, were compel- , enl men." | The jury rendered the following verdict: I "We find that the deceased, Arthur Ford and Donald Campbell, came by their deaths through the derailment and wreckage of engine So. 857 on the .as.iiH' tract at the east switch at McNcilllc's on the morning of March 10th. 1810. Wo consider that the wreck was due to sand, mud and gravel on the rails, carelcsslv 1 ft there hy the company's employes through their negligence. "We find that the sand, mud and gravel was spilt on top ol the rails while being conveyed across the main line and siding from the mudslide to the dump. "Wc further consider that this section of the road being known to he particularly dangerous, sufficient watchmen were not emnloyed to keep the track in safe condition." >44*4444>4444444444444444*444444444444444>*4444444*w4444wvw444>44444444444 444444444444444444444444444444444*w444>4>****44444444444444444>*4>44>*4f4*444444444444>*4444 i! ♦♦♦♦»M»M»»»»»»»»*»»»*»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»#»»0#»» #♦♦■»»■»••»■>♦♦»♦♦»■»»»♦♦♦♦♦ 4444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444, \ iii iii 5UNNYWHAT?
