The location decided upon was nl llie fool ot Daly avenue. River Appropriation. The news that the appropriation made by the Dominion government for improving the Kootenay river, would probably lie expended between Wardner and Fort Sleele, so as to give the mines and Fort Steele tbe advantage of belter water, to maintain connection with Warduer, the railroad point, was received here with considerable pleasure. This fact demonstrates tbe advantage of a town that ia located on the raihoad and river. News Notes. II. L. Stephens visited Cranbrook Sunday.

A BRASS BAND. Contractor Reid, ao Ald.Time Horn.Blower. It Is Alleged Is Willing to Instruct One. Contractor Reid was in town Saturday, aud expressed ihe opiuion that Cranbrook ought to have a brass band,saying that if they would organize one he would give il instructions, as: he was an old bandmaster. Some of the boys smiled incredulously at the ideaofRetd being a bandmaster, but Long Oliver said the statement was all right as he had often heard Reid blow bis bom; McGIl chipped in anil said he too knew it wns right for be had seen Reid playing the foghorn Oil a Newfoundland fishing smack whenever there was a fog; McCarty wanted to know what IMcC.il was doing oil a fishing smack when Reid retorted thai he used to cul bait for him while he fished, All Ibis was taking place in the reading-room of lhe Koolcnay house when Reid chanced lo look around and saw a talking machine— not Pieper's, but a phonograph belonging to a traveling exhibitor; it had n brass funnel attachment, resembling :i French hoi 11, and Reid picking the hitter up, told them be would show them whether he cotlUI play or not, and said lhat he would proceed to give them on Imitation of Prof, l.evy playing the "Last Rose of Summer," and he stinted in. At the fust nolo McQuiston's dog Slim went through the plate glass front; Slim went up agalust a cougar once, and thoughl there was another one linking round in the vicinitj; then Reid produced n tie- niola passage which sounded something 'he wail of lost Scotch spirits crcss- cut by o heartrending strain resembling mourn: lgs of a young man wilh an attack of James Preserves; then a win- low opened in lhe story above and a voice shouted, "Glory, hallelujah! O, Loid, I'm comiu'!" followed by a dull, sickening thud on the outside. An investigation followed and Jack Laiuont was found lying in a heap ou the pavement below; he recovered breath enough to ask if Gabriel hadn't "btowed his horn." He said be woke up and iho't it was lhe call of Gabe, that he had a pair of wings aud was going to Ily tight away to heaven. McQuUtun explained matters to him, and helped him to his room, Jack remarking tbat if Hint was an imitation (I Levy's music, he could easily understand how it was that Levy's wife was granted large alimony and a divorce. Reid then essayed that good ohl French hymn, "Paddy's Lament;" nt the first blast Long Oliver fell off his cbaii and bis legs and arms were afterward found to be tied in such n hard knot that it look fifteen mi miles lo untangle litem; the paper commenced to peel of the wall and tried to get out of the windows; the perspiration rolled off McQnUtuu and Frank said the next day that the scales showed thai he had lost 20 pound * there- bv; McGIl wns observed to be shedding tears, and when asked what affected him ao he replied that Reid'a music carried him back to his boyhood da; a when he worked in a boiler factory holding the hammer inside while the rivets were being beaded, whereupon Reid retorted that he bud always wondered bow McGIl had come by his boiler plate gall, and then slated that he would conclude by rendering ''Nearer My God to Thee," whereupon McCrimiuon, who had just came out of a faint, told Reid that il he put that hoi 11 to his rosebud lips again, that moment would find him a whole lot nearer his God than he ever had been before or would be again.

Wardner International: Hilly Stewart and IMly Daniels alrived in town Wednesday night from Sand Creek, and brought with him n measly, hungry, sleepy-looking canine lhat did not have enough life to turn a bone over to get nt the meat OH the under side.

Esteemed eon temporaries that persist lu talking of "the old veteran" cun keep right on. After the close of the present wnr we Bbull have another army of veterans that will have to lie distinguished lu some way from the survivors of ibe civil war. We cau call them veterans and refer to the heroes of the 'tWs as "old veterans.*' It la beginning to be plain that this War with Spain marks tlie beginning of a new military epoch for the United States. It Is reasonable to believe that for garrison purposes alone we shall need not less than 50,000 men. Viewing the situation In this aspect, lt Is freely predicted that the pence establishment of the army will hereafter be not lesa than what It has been made for this war—about 70.000 men. This Increase will tie consistent with the history of the army, which shows that every war since the revolution hits left tbe nation with a larger army. A few months ago a Spanish warship lu New York harbor required some repairing on Its machlneryt and the bill presented when It wns done was two hundred and fifty dollars. The officer In charge told the mechanic thnt his bill would not do, and ordered It enlarged to eleven hundred dollars, so ''It would go around." In spite of the spollB system lo our own hind, there can be but one comment on such corrupt practices, and tbe nation tbat tolerates them coutulua the sure seeds uf decay. The present Is a time of great opportunities, it is testing tbe preparedness of a large number of men. They see Just the opeulngs for which they have waited for years, but they llnd too often uud too lute that they are not prepared to take advantage of thom. Men, aud especially young men, are too apt to argue that alt they need Ih the opportunity. Tbe prepnredness, tbey Imagine, will come of itself. They flud out their mistake when some i|iil**t matt who haa spent years In thoroughly drilling and training himself steps in and takes advantage of the opening for which many have waited but huve not prepared themselves. A town Improvement club offers a solution for tbe problem of pauperism by providing work for the deserving, and If adult able-bodied men and women will not work they should not be fed by charity.

The honor done the memory of Lafayette waa also expressive of the gratitude and regard In which America bus ever held tlie French nation, and out of which have been form til "those unbreakable ties between the two peoples" so feelingly alluded to by A mbaseador Porter. Tbe custom of celebrating Memorial Uny should Income ns firmly established among American colonies In foreign cities whero there are honored dead ns It Is In the United Stales. Americans should never miss an opportunity to show that the nation remembers Its brave defenders of other lauds as well as those among Its own citizens, Especially should It do such honor to the memory of Lafayette, whose patriotism wns of the loftiest order. He bad no selfish purpose to serve. He had no possessions here to defend. This was neither his native html nor his home. His sole Inspiration was the love of liberty. Each succeeding Memorial Day should find his tomb strewn with flowers—fragrant tributes of American dwellers In his native land.

Tbe fact that Its location Is secret and lis attack well-nigh Irresistible, says a contributor in Prank Leslie's Monthly, gives It a power of In tliuldntlon out of all proportion to its actual potency, and makes fleets un willing to face It. It caused terror and demoralization at the battle of Llssa. and later, iu the franco-German war of 1871, the French fleet was actually frightened out of Prussian purls by the rumor and belief that numerous torpedoes had been planted for tbeir reception. A striking Instance of the effectiveness of the torpedo is found In the sinking of the Blanco En en la da In Chill from Injuries thus Inflicted during the revolution of 1801. The whole of President Balmaceda's fleet present had Joined the Insurgents, when suddenly his two swift torpedo vessels, the Lynch and Condell, nrlved at Valparaiso. They were armed with two four- teen-pounder guns and four torpedo tubes. They Immediately attacked the Blanco Encalada, and tlie Ironclad was taken completely by surprise. She had no protective net out, and no guard boats were patrolling, while a portion of the crew wns on shore. After two or three futile attempts the Lynch np proaehed tbe Encalada within fifty yards and discharged a torpedo, which struck the Ironclad abreast the engine- room, The explosion was tremendous, Many were killed, and the ship keeled over and sank lu five minutes. The tor pedo used carried a charge of about fifty pounds of guncotton. Neither of the attacking bouts was injured, and this fact and the demonstration tbat such a charge of guncotton striking n vessel lu a vital part Is Irresistible, combined to give to the torpedo n prominence In naval equipment nnd warfare It had uot beforo possessed.

Wetberb? Smiles was n woman hater, but Mr. Smiles was very high church Indeed. Unfortunately, St. James' nnd the pnrlsh people were extremely low. The rector felt that the clergy, to be able to give their whole time and thought to their work,Should live lives of celibacy. He had felt at times a strong drawing towards some ecclesiastical order lu which such vows would be necessary. Then be would wear I some outward sign of bis vows, nnd the young women of his parish would not full In love with bim. Tbe rector was young and good-looking; he had been lu Ids present pastorale less than a year, nnd he bad already had an experience. Rev. Wetherby Smiles, from study window, could look across his garden plot nml see the brown earth warming In the Bpr'ng sunshine nnd the trees and bushes slowly bursting Into life, lie looked ncross his garden, I sny, nnd across the garden, beyond the low hedge, was another garden which In summer was full of color. He hnd noticed the brllilnut-hiieil beds tho year before, but now tbo only bit of color was n pale blue morning robe that flitted nbout the IncloBiire. To tell the truth, the rector bad seldom noticed that morning gown or tbe little woman Inside tt before. But It pleased his fancy now to look ncross the hedge nnd watch his neighbor. lie recalled thnt his old major domo had told llim tho cottage next tbe pur- sonage wns occupied by a widowed lady—a lonely creature who bad taken up her abode there but shortly before ltev. smiles wits settled over St, James'. He remembered tho little figure In black In one of the side pews, pointed out to him by the clerk ns "Mrs. Scor- rltch," and probably had not given her a thought or glance afterward. However, he saw so much of tbe pale blue gown thnt first warm week lu spring that he looked for the little widow In her pew the next Sabbath. She had laid aside her weeds nnd was dressed In Borne clinging, fawn-colored material that made her i.m-i*. like « very demure little moth. And sbe hud the sweetest face In the world—nt least the sweetest face lu ltev. Wetherby Smiles* world. On Munday morning the clerical black appeared In'the rectory garden nbout as soon as the pretty morulug robe appeared over the hedge. The demure little face dimpled nnd smiled under Its garden hat at the rector's np- proach, and tbe widow nodded brightly. "You are early nt your gardening this morning, Mrs. Scorrltch," he said. "Yes, but It's so warm," she replied In defense. "I am expecting my crocuses to appear any day now." "I'm nfrald we'll see some frost yet, Mrs. Scorrltch," said the rector. "Now. don't talk that way, 1 beg!" erled the little woman, clasping her hands, Inclosed In long-wristed and particularly well-fitting gauntlets. "Just suppose my crocuses should come up nnd be frost bitten? Oh, the thought Is too awful." "I sincerely hope you will not be disappointed, but the climate Is uncertain." Many were the conferences held across the hedge regarding the proper pruning of ruse trees, tbe planting of hardy seeds, and tbe preparation of the beds of earth. The rector bad never suspected there wus so much detail iu tbe business of gardening. Oue morning, Just nfter a warm night co-JKKUKNCK.S II I-I-1' AC-HOBS Tilt-. II EDO If, ruin, Bev. Smiles was culled to the hedge by a little cry from his neighbor, "They nre coming!" she cried In delight. "See! Here Is the denrest little blade of green pushing up through the mold—nnd there is another—and another! Just look at them!" Tbe rector found It uecessary to leap tbe hedge (he hnd been something of nn athlete nt the university, and certainly this spring weather wus sending the blood coursing through his veins quite like old times) and look at tbe crocus bed near to. "They are such lovely ones," she snid earnestly. "I don't believe you noticed them nt nil lasl spring" (be pronounced maledictions upou himself for having been so blind as to miss so much beauty the previous season), "but tbey will be even better this year—If we don't have thnt horrid frost yuu have been prophesying." But when he bad returned to his own lonely domain and entered his study he slopped aud thought seriously for a minute. Then he cast bis fiat-crowned ministerial hut upon the Horn- with grent emphasis nnd exclaimed: "It's my creed, I tell you, that a mnn In orders should not marry!" Now, there wns uo one visible to argue the question, aud jut there seemed to be argument In Ills own mind, for ltev. Wetherby Smiles smote Ids palm with his clenched list angrily and kicked the fiut-orowucd hat to tin other end of ihe room. For two days ibe rector of Rt. Jnnies' rigidly stilled his Interest In crocuses; his Interest lu creeds, however, was not entirely Satisfying, f'n Sunday, after vespers, he overtook ou his way home a lliilc figure lu a fawn -colored gown. "You must see my crocuses, Mr. Smiles," she snid. "Tlie buds will be Opeu before next Sunday." The rector glanced gloomily at the darkening sky, and thought thnt proba bly thore would bo a frost that night. But he could lint long think of frosl uud other unpleasant possibilities uu der the skillful manipulation of his charming little neighbor, He hesitated nl her gate, and again croCUSdS triumphed over creed. The crocuses were nourishing finely; the creeds took a back sent -Indeed a very unobtrusive seal lu the rector's memory. His interest In lhe crocuses continued that evening to so lute uu hour that bis old servitor really thought he wns not coining to supper aud cleared uwuy the rPpnst "Never mind," snid the rector, kindly. "I nm nut hungry," nnd when tbe old man bad doddered off lo bed he sat down before tfie open window of his Chamber and stared out into tbe still night. Ile sut (here for nn hour. A light burned behind the curtain ut one of his neighbor's windows. That was her light, he knew. Finally It disappeared, but be sat ou, his arms folded upon tbe sill, his eyes glaring fixed Into the darkness. Creed was making a strong light for life. It grew rapidly colder, nnd suddenly Rev.

There was no breeze nnd no clouds, but nn Increasing chill mude him close the casement. Theu he slipped ou a smoking Jacket nnd went to tbe door. Tbere wus a light haze upon the river and a shimmer of frost iu tbe air. "A bad night for the farmers and fruit growers." he thought. Then bis mind reverted to those crocuses. "They will be black by morning," he said. "Too hnd, and the little woman thinks so much of ihem," He hesitated n m mien: an 1 then went in ngnin. reappearing shortly with nn old mackintosh. "Just the thing-to spread before the bed to defend them from the frost," he muttered, and with long strides be crossed the rectory garden and lenped the hedge. Feeling n good denl like a night prowler wbo bad no business In tho place he crept through his little neighbor's garden and approached the crocus bed. He started nt the slightest sound and glanced about fearfully. Supposing somebody should see him— one of tils parishioners- even bis major domo! Suddenly Just as he spread the covering over the crocus bed and wns turn- lug hastily to fiee, tie heard a sound upon the porch. He started, and his eyes became fixed upon the vision before hlin. A figure, nil In white, uud motionless, stood upon Ihe lower step. ltev. Wetherby Smiles wns startled, but be wns not superstitious. For some seconds, however, be stared at the apparition beforo he recognized It. Then he stepped quickly forward and began (0 make excuses In a low voice. "Mrs. Scorrltch- Lydla 1 beg your pardon, but 1 thought—-" He got no further In his faltering remarks.

Two Letters to Mrs. Pinkham. Mrs. John Williams, English town, N.I..writes: , " DBAtt -Mrs. Pinkham:—I cannot Iw gin to tell you how 1 suffered before taking your remedies.

Playmates wu luul been then -s choolmules theu friends. As 1 watched her developing from narrow - minded youth to beautiful, broad womanhood l trembled lest In the picture 1 knew she portrayed of future perfect happiness 1 should be missing. She was not a beauty ns the world terms them, but tlie kindly smile and true character her face reflected wero more beautiful to me than perfect features. But her voice; whnt a voice lt was! A clear, rich iuez/.o, aided by perfect execution born of deep feeling nnd power of Interpretation. She held a position iu one of the leading churches In M—-, nnd there, I confess, I was wonl to dud the sermon more Interesting than at my home church. Une bright moonlight Sitbbnth, as we strolled home from evening service, she said: "How well .Mr. Stndly anng to-night! What a beautiful voice he bus, Italph!" Strange to say, I bad been thinking how well her voice and his blended; before 1 hnd answered she coutinned: "lie Is so pleasant, too. We should miss him more than nny of the others tu ihe quartette if he should leave us." "Yes, Elsie, he la a royal fellow. But will you go with me on Tuesday to hear Gnmpnnarl? Ills voice Is better." "I am sorry, Ralph, but Mr. Studly asked me to accompany hint that evening nnd I consented.'* "Well, he sings again on Thursday; we can go then." uud so It wns decided. The house was reached, and as we entered I thought 1 hud never seen her looking so well. Her eyes were hrlght and sparkling, nnd the cold, crisp air brought n rich damask to her round cheeks. Removing her outer garments in the hull, she started forward toward the center of the pnrlor, aud ns she did so 1 slopped her, and slipping my arm about her, bent, nud, ere she could Interpret my Intention, I kissed her. Tearing herself away, her face ablaze, she cried In a voice of deep anger: "Ralph Moreland. how dare you—how dure you Insult mc?" while I, all the bolder because of her nnger, started forward, nnd, possessing myself of both her hands, snid: "Elsie, angry with me, no"—as she tried to free herself- "yon shall listen -angry with one who loves you better than his life, yes, better than all the whole world besides, and whose one ambition is to mako you his wife?" With a low cry of anguish she started bnck. 1 released her then. "0, Ralph," she suld, "1 never thoughl you would do this. I thought WO were too great friends." Two great tears started and coursed dowu her checks, now pale as death. ENGLISH ATTACK ON CADIZ. Itnvi ii wiih Captured in the i>*>» til Unpen Rllsftheth. i ■uh/ has been considered the key to Spain.

In vuIn I pleaded, and then n disagreeable thought forced Itself upon me. Framing It In words, I said softly: "Elsie, Is tlmre some one else?" Trembling, she stood Ihere In the Boinl-dnrkuess. 1 could see how agitated she was as 1 caught ilu* faint whisper: "Yes." Then, Indeed, hope died wllhfn me. and she continued; '-Ralph, dear friend, forget this. Let us be as we always have been, true friends. Don't." she pleaded, "let this spoil our friendship."

"Is there any danger thnt we cnnnoi get out?" she queried. "I think not. You will trust me entirely; let me be your protector now" —she nodded as there came a whispered "yes"—"uow nnd always Elsie?"

The lands thus available arc the utisurveyed lands ouly along the Hue of the Crow's Nest Pass road, and no oilier lands and in no other district. The real development of Southeast Kootenay will begin after tbe completion of the rnilrond to Kootenay lake. It will then be possible to get in material, ami machinery from the east or west at figures thnt will encourage people lo go abend. The Silveitonian says it is the only real mining paper published ou the lake. The modesty of the Silvertoulan arouses wilhin us n fueling of professional pride, that is sustained by Ibe frank manner in which that paper gives expression to its innate modesty. Anyone Who will take the trouble to Investigate Will learn lhat there is mote work being done in the way of mineral development III Southeast Kootenay this year than is generally believed. New prospects are being opened, assessment work is being performed, and all lhat is being done goes Io demount rate that this is a great mineral country. With the railroad completed, nest season will see hundreds of thousands of dollars invest ed in milling hi Southeast Kootenay. nnd it is foilutiatc fur those who have invested iu Cranbrook that this city is the central point of tills whole mining section.

RAIL. | Contractor McCrlmuioii completed his work 011 Tuesday last, aud will pull out, having nothing ahead 011 this line, or nothing certain in sight for the future. Resident Engineer Pratt departed Monday morning for nn inspection of his division, which extends tu Goal river and which will keep him away the entire week. Assistant Chief of Construction Turn- hull was in town Sunday, reluming to Waidner Monday. Mr. Turnbull reports everything progressing entirely satisfactorily. Contractor Well man was In town Tuesday afternoon, troubled with the prevailing "Canadian cholera." aud nol feeling any too well, nnd things were not going as well in camp us he would like, but nevertheless a few days more will complete his contract. He, loo, has nothing in the way of n contract hi sight for lhe future. Contractor O'Neill has nearly finished his work east oi" town—in fact probably will have when this appears in print. To the end of his contract, west of towu, the work is very light with no cuts or fills of auy consequence, and the time consumed in completing it will be nominal. Ties aie strung almost tbe entire length of it. The latest reports from Warduer slale thnt lhe trains will cross the bridge Friday of this week. This will easily bring the slcel inlo Cranbiook not later than the end of next week, and very probably sooner.
