The Moriltsey mines aie empto) ing 500 men, which force will be increased as occasion demands, it is the [nten lion to build 600 cuke ovens. The ovens wilt have a capacity of 10..0 tous ot coke per day, and will employ several hundred men when in lull operation. The ovens will be located ou Morrissey creek, just opposite the townsile. The preliminary survey of ihe ground is now being made by the coal company's surveyors. A spur tO the ovens will be built this fall mul material will be hauled 111 and placed on thc ground ready to begin the work of cnusttuctlou by the opening of spring, It is ailUOUUCul that the Montana and Great Northern and its Canadiau extension will be fonually opened for traffic about September 1.

FERNIE NEWS IA WONDERFUL DISTRICT SCOKE 13 TO * FOR CRANBROOK It Means a Record of Ten Victories In Ten Games This Season. CRANBROOK IS PROUD OP THE TEAM It is the same old story. Just a difference in figures. That's al). Craubrook played Calgary. Who won? Say, stranger, where are you from that you should ask such a question? Craubrook, of course. Haven't they played 10 games this season? And haven't they won 10? The scalps of Kast Kootenay hang at their belts, and four scalps from Alberta, one from Pincher, two from Medicine Hat, aud now Calgary relinquishes a goary, hoary forelock. The boys left lust Sunday. They traveled nearly 24 hours and theu played. That dou't make any difference with that aggregation. They could go to the moou and win within 60 minutes after they got there. Can jamieson pitch? Alt mine cannon ball. And that man Bertram! Well, he bus been catching freight trains for years, aud a cannon ball is dead eaity. Malliusou played first. Did you ever see a piece of meat drop Into the mouth of 11 St. Bernard dog.

They played to big crowds Friday, Saturday, Monday aud Tuesday nights, aud gave the veiy best of satis faction, His company is very good, but of course Harry himself is the big part of the show. He is good iu what ever he does, and as an entertainer be is a big winner, Kach night he kept the crowds roaring wiih laughter hy his humor, and at times be would by a touch of pathos bring tears to runny eyes. The Harry Lindley company is'always sure of a big house iu Cranbrook. Specialties by Little Mystic, Mariott Brotbers and Miss Natol were excellent. Tbe Coaservatlvei Are Coming.

Says a Good Word. Phoenix Pioneer: Another weekly is about to make its bow in Kast Koote* uey, called the Morrissey Miner, in the new town of Ihe same name. P. lv. Simpson, ofthe Crnuhrook Herald ls behind it, and if he makes as good a paper in Morrissey as he does in Cranbrook, residents of the coal town are to be congratulated. Lost. Ou August ao, a lady's abort jacket was lost betweeu Cranbrook ami Marysville. It was a heavy, dark grey coat, lined with black satin. A suitable reward will be given to anyone who has found the same, If they will leave it at The Herald ollice, Cranbrook, or at tbe livery barn of N. C. McKinstry, Marys* , villa* Prom the Pernie Pree Press. Coal oil has been struck on the site of Morrissey and several applications have been entered for licence to prospect. Mr. Frederick Keffer, Eeneral manager and Chief engineer of the llritish Columbia Copper Co., of Greenwood, B. O., was In town for several days this week on business connected with the smelter.

He bought the property when but a prospect paying some 812,000 for It. Tbe property is now estimated to be worth $7,000,000. It ls estimated that 8ti00,00i) has been spent In devehpemeul work, The mines are worked in the modern way, and the ore Is laid down at tbe smelter at a cost of 75 cents a ton.

Held and Hungerford and their guests broke up the camp acrcas the lake and returned to Craubrook on Thursday. They bad a fine time and intend to spend a short time here each year. The scarcity or cars on thla road U causing the sawmill owners considerable inconvenience. Tbe Moyle Lumber Co. for Instance, have beetween 75 and loo carloads of Lumber ready to ship and Park Mitchell & Co also have a large supply on band, but neither are able to get aufflcent cara to fill the orders east of here.

H, White officiated. The wedding was a quiet one, only a lew relatives and friends being present. Mr. McNab is well known in South Kast Kooleaay as a man of sterling worth, aud his friends are legion. Mrs. McNab was the teacher of the Jnffruy schools last year, ami her many charming qualities of mind aud character made her a genial favorite with all. The Herald extends congratulations and wishes the happy couple all happiness the human family is heir to. Mr. and Mrs. McNab arrived in Craubrook Saturday for a few days visit with Mr. Ryan at the Cranbrook hotel. Mlnlug Notes. T. G. Blackstock, vice-president ofthe War Kngle and the Center Slur mining mining companies, is auihoiity for the statement that his companies have solved the problem ot Irealiug fs ore on a profitable basis. If ihis can be dune it will prove a greal thing fur Rossland. And when f$ ore can be treated iu South Lust Kootenny this district will experience an em of prosperity thut no man ever dreamed of. It is said that the I.eRui will soon ship 30,000 tons of ore per month. Mining is having a great revival in Rossland aud lhe town wilt soon he in better shape than ever before. Treatment ol five dollar ore at a profit would make a great country of the St. Mary's Valley. Big Railway Business. Nelson Tribune: The movement of freight on the railways entering Nelson shows a decided improvement. This is caused, In a great pari, by the resumption of work at ihe Crows Nest company's coal uiiues at Fernie, Michel and Morrissey. The C. P. R. is now operating three 15-car barges from the K-iotenay landing slip. These barges make a round trip a day, aud as they carry full loads each way, It will be seeu that the tonnage bandied totals considerable every thirty days, Marvelous Resources of South East Kootenay. UNTOLD WEALTH TO BE DEVOLOPED Few People Realize the Possibilities of This Section and Opportunities Presented. FIVE YEARS WILL MAKE MANY CHANGES Stop and think about it. Meu ure naturally .teekiug prosperous fields for business. This is the age of rustle and get there. That is what has developed the vast territury ofthe United States, und what is bringing prosperity lo Cunada. And today there is not a section if country in Cunada or the Uniled Status that lias such a bright future us has S mill Ivust Kooienay. lu fact, il is impossible fur any uiuu to conceive what tin? future may bring forth. It Is full to ovei flowing with undeveloped resources, und men with money are just coming to a realization of this fact. The coal proposition is already au established fact, uud yet the industry is still in its infancy. There are vast coul fields in the south eastern portion ofthe district thai have not as yet heen touched, and when tbey are being developed will add thousands lo lhe present population Tbe lumber industry is just getting under headway, nud williin the next twelve mouths will assume immense proportions nud give to the district a large payroll 12 months iu the year. The gradual reduction in cost in the treatment of ores by modern methods is bringing petmanent prosperity nearer to tbe doors of the district each month. Soulh lv 1st Kooienay is a vast storehouse of low grade ore, as well as having many high grade propositions, and tbe levelopiueut of these properties mean the employment ot thousands of men in the near future, and big returns for capital invested. Tbe agricultural interests are increasing iu importance with the Increase lu population, and the time ia uot far distant when the rich valley* of the 10k, Kooteuay and Moyie will be producing graiu aud vegetables In vest quantities, Iu addition to these re sources are those_of iron aud oil. P.x" perlmenis are being made along theae lines, und it is now almost an assured certdint) that both iron and oil will be found iu paying quantities. If this proves to be tbe case millions of capital will be invested aud commercially thc district will be revolutionized. These conditions are simply as they actually exist. There ts no exaggeration, no boom, no attempt to mislead. The statements are simply cold facts If a mau Were to travel the country over be could uot find a section tbat can promise more for the future than South Kast Kooteuay. A blind man can see it now, and tbut is why The Herald feels safe in buying that this ia the place for a man with capital, 01 a man with energy aud intelligence. No better can be found. Work Nearlog Completiea. Frank Sentinel: Next month will ace the Flunk and Grassy Mountain railroad completed and turned over to tbe owners. The grades and cuts have been nearly all finished and work on the many trestles, culverta and bridges iiliuig lhe line is belug rapidly pushed ahead. Tbe ties are being delivered und as the steel is laying at Macleod ready fur immediate delivery here, tiack- laying should commence within the next ten days" This company will own and operate ttieir uwn Icoiuotives and to a certain extent the rolling stock, but will depend upon the C, P U. for the cars for shipping their coal to market, while coke ovens will be built for cuking Ibe surplus product. When this milio.nl is completed the Oold Creek collieries will put on a big force uf men aud Gold creek will be the scene uf a great amount of activity. A Card. September t, 190a. To the Business Meuof Cranbrook and Vicinity and the Public: As will he seen by notices In tbfa Issue of Tlie Herald I have today entered Into a partnership wiih Messrs. Beale and Klwell. I therefore take this opportunity of thanking the business men and public generally for the very loyal support tbey have given me for the past four and a half years, which has been aud is moat thoroughly appreciated by me, I can assure my old friends that any business iiistrin?Lil to the new firm will have most careful attention, and I may add that so far as insurance is concerned I shall persnnnlly lake care of that branch ofthe business, Once mote thanking all my friends, 1 remain, Yours Truly, John Hutchison, or "Hutch." All of the lumber companies are kept busy these d iys Thru* Is no let up on tin? demand for their product. DENIES THE CHARUE Mr. Stockelt Says the Coal Company la Acting la Oood Faith. Thomas R. Stockett, Jr., general superintendent of the Crows Nest Pass Coal company's mines, in an interview with a newspaper reporter at Nanaimo tbe other day, regarding the statement that the company was employing men in Pennsylvania to work iu the mines here, said that he knew absolutely nothing about the attempt to hire men in Pennsylvania for the Fernie miues, and if such an attempt was being made he would know of it. At tbe present time he was not needing any meu at Fernie. and only a few men could be given employment in the other mines. So far as the compiuy was concerned they had made an agreement with thc men aud were acting in good faith, and if at the expiration of two mouths, a majority of ihe underground workers voted to return to the uld system, Ibe company would couipl) with the request. The compauy was working in anticipation that tlie miners at Fernie would contiuue working, and had uo intention of making an attempt to violate the agreeiueut wheu the two months expired. Id thus acting iu goud faith, the company expected the men were doing the same, and If they would keep their heads and act reasonably he hail nu doubt au amicable agreement would tie arrived at by which the miners and company would work harmoniously together. SIGNS OK OIL. Tie Follow! of Coin man Us tion in ihc Nelson News Is Self lixplsustory. Kdltor The Dally News —On the Ulh inst., I sent a piece of -.hale to the provincial mineralogist to have it examined and I received the following reply: Victoria Aug. IStb. De;r Sir:—Yout favor of the llthlist baa been referred to ine. The sample of shale contains crude petroleum. Tbe clay scut would not be suitable: they are too fusible. Herbert Carm!chael. Public Anallat and Assayer for B. C. This petroleum bearing shale Is found at tbe base nf the Carboniferous range, lying southwest from Pel nie town. TUeae shales can be traced as far as Morrissey. Knowing something of tbe habitat of petroleum, with a friend, 1 went down the Talley nine miles, ami examined the rocks dne west from tbe C. P. It. depot at Morrissey. Calcareoua sandatone and light porous limestone atrew tbe ground at this point. Tbese when atrnck with a hammer gave off a peculiar oily odor, bu: different to tbe odor given off by the shales further up the valley. Finding a tine grained black rock In the "wash," I broke It and exposed the Inner surface the to sun. Ia a short time it sweated oil. Near here the Carboniferous recks came in co:- tact with the Cambraln, and form with It a synclinal basin or trough. In my judgment, this portion of tbe valley Is worth tbe attention of tbe mining geologist and oil expert. Daniel McKemle. Fernie, August 2-jtb. A Hand) Bet Ice.

Tbe Herald led some people astray last week by the publication of a notice regarding the voters' list, It was right as far as it went, but it did not go tar enough, and therefore left a number laboring under a misapprehension ot the facts. The Phoenix Pioneer gol into the same trouble nnd ofl't*rs an explanation thai completely covers the situation. The idea, more or less prevalent, that all existing voters' lists will be cancelled on the last day of August mid new lists be commenced beginning with the first duy of September Is wrung. There are two acls dealing with this question, the Redistribution Act and the Provincial Klecttona Act. Section 5 of the former provides that after thc coming into force ofthe Act the register of voters will be cancelled, the date fixed for lhe coming into effect of the act being upon the dissolution of the present Legislative Assembly (Section 13). Section 6 requires every person desiring to he registered to apply lo the collector of votes according to Section 11 of the Provincial lilections Act. Tbis latter measure, that Is lo say, the amenolng act passed last session, comes into force on September ist as slated in the Pioneer a week or two ago, but only applies, nud ihis is important, until after the dissolution of the legislature, to those who apply afler that date to have their names placed upon lhe register of voters. In brief then, thc lists will not be cancelled on the 31st inst; those seeking to have their name put on the voters'list on or after September I must comply with the provisions of the amended Provincial Klections Act; the lists as now existing will remain in force until the lieutenant governor dissolves the legislature, and after the dissolution everyone must reregister according to the same act, You should if you don't.

Sho wna still on tin- brighter Bldo of forty, t'uii* to look upon uml wiih nt pence with ull hor neighbors until ilu* ono to tin- east of hot Bold out nml a strttuger moved In, ilu wns u mini of middle age nnmed I Chlslmlm, nml, botng u widower, hla slater mannged tho hotiso for him. if 'tbu Willow JiiHOti wns ono Of lliosu who I wondered what sort of mini be was, folic won the lirst to lint) it out. Among her live Htoek that .vent* wcr« n doston bogs, nnd it wns the fault of bvr hired I mnn that there were holos lu tbe fences through which thoy mado tbelr way into the potato Hold of the new neighbor. She hud just finished hor broalifnst one morning when Clilsliolin wna announced. He had tlio courtesy to lift his hat nnd give bis nnme, but be also bad the bluntness to add: "Madam, your Infernal hogs hnve rooted up half an aero of potatoes for me, and If you can't manage to keep Vin homo I'll shoot every ono of 'eml" She looked nt blm nml saw that ho traa above tbe ordinary and felt that had Bhe been Introduced in the conven- tional way she would have been pleased to make bis acquaintance. Uut his rude greeting angered ber, nnd, being a woman with a mind of ber own, she at once replied: j "I can pay for all tbe potatoes on four farm, and If you come bore to I threaten me you'll find a woman who don't senre!" "Well, you keep your hogs at borne." "And you keep yourself In tbe same place." That wob tbe flrst ttlt. The fences were mended and the hogs were in despair when a high wind blew a gate open, and the drove spent the night In the same potato Held. Next morning Chisholm drove ten of them home and ■aid to Widow Jason: "Mndam, there are dead hogs belonging to you lu my Hold. Will you have tbem removed or shall I bury them?" "You killed them, did you7" she asked. "I did. I told you 1 would, nod I did" "Then I'll have tbe law ou you." "Go ahead." She went to law, and there was a suit, and she was Ingloriously beaten. hog lot wore thoroughly ra.inlred, aad for four weeks the porkers hud to make the host of their sad lot. Then Josh left llie bars down one night, uud as the widow was getting breakfast she beard tlie crack of a ride. Half an liuiir Inter Mr. ('hlsholm appeared to say: "linud morning, Mrs. .Tiihou, Those wi'i'ii-iii'il botfB of yours rooted up luy giil-ilcu lusi night, uud tills liiumlng 1 killed iititithi'i- of thein. If yuu want another lawsuit, I'll drive you to town in my own buggy." "And you -you've shot another?" alio gasped, "I hnvo." "Then I'd like to shoot youi You aro the meanest mau in tho statu of Ohio!" "Yi's'iu," ho replied, with a how ua ho turned nwny. Widow Jason drove to town to consult hor lawyer again, There wiih $10 in It for lilm, win or lose, but this time Mi-. Glilshohn wns arrested for mnll- clous poi'Becutlon, In his testimony he roforred to the plaintiff aa "that lady" uml exhibited uo animus whatever, but he also proved that ho wns the ono per- sccutcd, The widow's hogs would not let lilm alone. She wns beaten again, nnd this time a stout pen was built, and the bogs wore shut up. The farmers had of course tuken aides. Some contended that Chisholm bad exhibited a menu and un neighborly spirit and others thut thc widow had been derelict fn not mending her fences, and there was much talk and discussion. It occurred now and then that the two principals mot on tlie highway or at tlio crossroads mooting hoiiBe, but while Chisholm lifted his hat and bowed us If there was nothing ou his mind the widow, except for her blazing eyee, seemed enrved of stone. That pen held the hogs for a long six weeks, but hogpens have their weak points, and patience and perseverance wlh seek them out. The hot sun warped a board and made an opening, and the industrious swine enlarged It until one night they all passed out and headed straight for the next farm. Tliey fetched up aiuoug the cabbages, pumpkins, squashes, melons aud carrots, and during the long hours of darkness thoy ran riot. Tbey were missed from the pen early next morning, and the widow sat dowu on the doorstep aad cried. She cried because she wns vexed, nud she cried because she wus a woman. Every minute Bhe expected to hear the crack of Cbis- bolm's rifle, nnd she fully realized that any further appeal to the Inw would be wasted. She was vexed at lhe hogs, at Josb and ut Chisholm. Her tears were still fulling whon the new neighbor stood bofore ber and bowid and said: "Mrs. Jnson, those blamed hogs of yours damaged me a hundred dollnis' worth lust night." "And how many more have you killed?" she asked. "None. I've Just driven 'em home." "But why—why"— "Because I see how It Is. I must either kill off your whole drove or build a pen myself. I shall come over tonight to talk to you about It." He appeared nn hour nfter supper, mul it was il o'clock before be w»nt home. Even then the "talk" was not finished. As a matter of fact It required a groat ninny evenings nnd wns only concluded one winter's night when she laid her bend on his shoulder nml snld: ."If you aro really sure thnt you love me, then the farm, the bogs and I nm yours, ami we'll bo married New Year's dny." JOHN FOUND UIMMXl:* A UOXBD MAN. Womanlike she fell prolty bitter over It, but ul llto Hitiuc lime she bud (o glvo Mr. Clilsliolm credit fur lock of nuy bitterness, Uo staled bis ens., in jtllO mildest milliner and even Bpoko llilghly of her iih a neighbor. When sbo loiiii'hi'd homo after the lawsuit, mIio salil Id her hired man: I "Josh, If lliat mini (ijlsholm comos on my Inml again 1 wnnt you to throw liliu nlT." 1 •'Ves'lD, I'll do ll," replied the nttinly Josh. ll wasn't a fortnight before Cilia- Imlin cnillO, He wus mi his way to tlio liiiiisu when Josh bended blm olt nml ordered blm back. He refused lo go, niul Josh laid hold of lilm to do (lie throwing act, but found himself a licked man lu about three ml mil en. While be mt ou the ground with n handful of g-fflu to his bleeding nose the victor passed ou to the woman, who bad wit- DOISCd the fraCBI from the front steps, Lifting his bat, he snld: "Madam, those hogs of yours have been at It again this time lu my cotu- fleld-aml I've had to kill another." "Have you dared to kill another of my lings V" she demanded as ber cheeks IIiiiiiciI and her eyes Unshed. "I have. Shall I bury blm?" "Sir, you are fl Bcotnidrell" "And you ure a charming widow!" She drove to town ut once to see her lawyer. There was $10 In the case for blm, win or lose, and bo advised ber to sue, Shu sued and got beaten ngnln. Tho defendant referred lo her In the highest terms, but he also proved that hor fences wero out of repair. Tbo lawyer saw $10 moro In II, win or lose, und udvlsed Josh to prosecute fur assault and battery. Josh brought bla swollon uoso aud black eye Inlo court nnd wna beaten by several lengths.

A Buiuuruui I'l-cumUl nm wl lilt IVIml*- shlp'i Hf-mantM* Trip L'p th. St. I,»wrtno*~li u ii * iiii story t Tl*e whale which strayed up to Montreal uud stranded itself has i caused one of the small sensations of the past week. Tho Montreal papers have not treated bis whal* ship's memorable (rip up tlm Bt. Lawrence with tho respect and attention due such n distinguished visitor. In fact tbo event has been treated with suih levity nud IndltTor- oiico iii Montreal tlmt people in this .city, says tho Toronto World, axe wondering whether there was u wlmlo there or not. The Improsston got abroad thnt someone going home from 0110 ol tho clubs bud •'kuI tin," uml that liis vision wus distorted by tho rushing waters of tho St. ■ .Lawrence, su that Instead of serpents nml crawling things bo Baw a whale. Anotlior improbability, in tlm view of land lubbers, wus that tho whalo should Btrand itself on a sandbar or rock. It bus always boon under- Stood that u Well brought up whale could soo where it wns going, and tbe stories we have read about whales "swatting" boats und capsizing would-ho wlmlo captors into the sen. confirmed that Impression. Thon again, the reports that a number of citizens had shot into the forty-foot monster several scores of bullets without appreciable damage to its anatomy, was another puzzler, and we wondered why a crew of river men was not organized and equipped with harpoons and other whale-killing devices fn order that the valuable bones aud oil contained in the carcass might be secured in the interests of cornmercel But the newspapers kept working oil insinuating jokes about tho whale until the truth of the story was completely discounted. On Saturday, however, news came to hand to the effect thnt the whule had got out of dry dock, so to speak, and taken a trial spin or two, and thnt a chap who went with an old gun to pour some more lead into it had been tricked by liis weapon and received a Wound moro or less serious. A heated discussion was brought on in Toronto when one of a group of men characterized the whole thing as a flshstory. He was at once met with the assertion tlmt a whale was not a (ish, and forthwith ensued an argument as noisy as ono would hear in a political caucus. Webster's Unabridged was sought, and the first "whale" found thero was the verb, meaning "to lash with stripes; to whale, to thrash, to drub." This was not satisfactory, but the next j "whale," defined as a noun, wus better, and the mnn who called tha Alnmnml a fish went away and bid ■ himself. Noah Webster said a whale ' was: "Any aquatic Mammal of the order cetacen, especially any one oi the large species, some of which be- ! come nearly one hundred feet long." I Webster's verdict was accepted, but J the explanatory note Immediately following led to further speculation. j There nre two groups of whales, namely the Odoritccete whale, which has teeth,as tha cachalot o; spuria whalo: ami tbe Mysticeto whalo, I which is without teeth, hut bus : plates of baleen or whalebone, hanging from the upper Jaw. The most important species of w half-hone ] whale nro the bowhead, or Greon- | Antarctic whale, tho grey whale, tbo humpback, the finback and the rorqual. What we want to know ie whether tin* Montreal whale is a ! sperm wlmlo or a bono whalo, and whether, if n bone whale, it is n rorqual, a finback or a humpback. Whon this Information is given tbo people may be Induced to believe there is ; or has been a whale in the harbor. Appointed .liii!|*-* fur i oj*»ltj. 1 In November, lTSfl, Hon.

Born : In New York, lie wns thc author, J when tho controversy aroused hy tho 1 action of Parliament in passing tho 1 Stamp act broke out, of a proposal I partaking somowhat of the nature of i a confederation of the colonies, in | order to moot the problem of tbe taxing of the North American do- pandonctes — a council consisting of representatives appointed by tbe several Uinta Assemblies, lo whom, meeting at Now York, all royal re- ouisitioiis for assistance should be made. This body wna to decide upon the quotas to be supplied by the various States. POBSlbly tbo riders attached, that tho King's approval should bo necessary in tho ease of tbe appointment of each member, and that the tenure of oflico should bs during life and good conduct, accounted for the scant courtesy which the proposition received at the hands of the^colonists. norman Student! and Beer.
