Progress and prosperity has left the so-called in the rear that it has now become obscure, which makes Cumberland and district look forward and onward. The general committee estimates that it will be responsible to raise $750 for prizes, a sum that will exceed the amount raised last year. Included in the sports the committee expect to be able to give a grand prize for the best decorated automobile. There are quite a number of autos in the city and district and the prize should prove quite an attraction. In addition there will be football, baseball and lacrosse, and various other sports. Among the numerous arrivals here of late to work in and around the mines there are some good athletes and it will take good men to make some of them take a back seat. Bevan, commonly known as No. 7, say they have one of the finest fooball teams in the country. Loan* for Dominions. In the British House of Commons on Monday Mr. Norton Griffith'- asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he could now consider the advisability of introducing legislat on giving preference to those dominions which supported the imperial navy directly or indirectly when their loans were made in this country and preference to all the dominions over foreign countries by the imposition of a small tax, similar to that existing in France, on foreign loans raised in England. ' Mr. Lloyd George replied that under the existing law there was a preference as regards stamp duty in respect to loans issued here by colonial governments as compared with foreign governments. He added that no further differentiations would be advisable. Big Liner Launched. The largest steamship ever built in Great Britain, the Cunard liner Aquitania, was successfully launched on the Clyde today. The new vessel is double-shelled and carries boats sufficient to accommodate 4250 people, the entire complement of passengers and crew. The Aquitania cost the Cunard Line $10,000,000 to construct, not to mention the cost of her luxurious equipment. The local Basket Ball Boys clo td the season by having a banquet in the ill; ing rooms of the Cumberland Hotel on L'hurs- day evening, closing up their affairs and spending a very'.1!:-' joyabl.' evening.

Their efforts were crowned with success by the crowded appearance of the hall, about 75 couples taking part in tho dance with numerous spectators. Refreshments were served by the ladies at midnight. Messrs. Parnham, Hugo and Roy supplied the music. Chief. Constable Stephenson is to be commended for the action he took on Wednesday evening on the arrival of the passenger train. ' For some time past the crowd has been in the habit of going, down to the platform the moment they heard the whistle announce the approach of the trai.ii', there crowding intentionally amongst tho passengers. Several complaints have been made' to the police by visitors coming to the city of the annoyance and inconvenience they had hud been put to by the crowding of tl e platform. The Chief told tne crowd on Wednesday evening to take the main road, and; they took it. We understand that loiterers on the public highway will be told to move on. FATAL ACCIDENT AT NEW SHAH Two Men Killed and Three Injured while working at No. 8 Shaft. URGE INCREASE No.8 New Shaft was the scene of a serious accident on Saturday morning. Ten men were work ing in the shaft timbering up the sides and had completed the set of timbers they were working on and moved their platform up to get ready for another set. While making preparations the platform gave way and precipitated five men to the bottom of the shaft, a distance of about forty feet. Two men were killed. C. Contenanzo and Elias Doving, the other three men were severely injured but will recover. The remaining five of the ten. men who were working in the shaft at the time of the accident were fortunate to find a place of safety in the timbers around the shaft. They gave the necessary signals and assisted in the rescue of their injured partners. Coroner Abrams held an inquest on Monday afternoon when the following jury were sworn: John N. McLeod (foreman), A. McKinnon, John J, Weir, A. H. Peacey, W. Merrifleld, and. T. Hart. Several witnesses were examined by Thomas Graham, chief in spectnr of mines, who asked that the inquest be adjourned until such time as the injured men sufficiently recovered to give evidence. To this the Coroner consented. British Export Trade Reaches Highest Watermark No New Taxes. Heard on the Street. Yes Sir, we've got 'em. Won hands down. Say, Foster and Nayor are alright.

They say the shareholders were sore as the devil, and have fired Coulson, Lockard and Clinton. They said as how if they wudno' recognisn the Union they'd put men there as would. Yes boys, Coulson, Lockard and Clinton have got to "git." Say, did ye ken about 4 and 7 closing down? Yep! The Inspectors have closed 'em both up and I guess its all off with the Company now. Well, t'was coming to 'em, anyway. Ye Gods! This is the kind of dope that is being daily served up to the idlers, to keep their drooping spirits up. For Double Trackinc. The calling by the C. P. R. for tenders for clearing the first 25 miles west from Revelstoke ready for double-tracking is the most important news item of the week at Revelstoke, and is lending additional interest and energy to recent realty movements. The present spring is marked in fact by a renewal of business in every ine, and gives promise of leading up to the mo-1 prosperous year in the history of this centre and district. London, April 22.—It will cost the staggering sum of $978,200,- 000 to run the British Government through the ensuing fiscal year, according to the Chancellor, Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George, who introduced his budget in the House this-afternoon. This is a big increase, the augmentation being caused by expenditures for the army and navy. According to the Chancellor the British public is going on the "water wagon." His speech showed that 8,700,000 gallons less spirits were consumed in the past four years than in the preceding period. The export trade of the country has now reached its highest watermark. The Chancellor said he would be prepared to raise $25,000,000 outside of known revenues. No new taxes will be imposed to meet expenditures. The European money stringency, said the Chancellor, is due to France, Austria and Germany hoarding $300,000,000 for any emergency which might involve war. "There are no indications that the trade boom has reached its- maximum, and there are no signs of over-production," said the Chancellor, "and taking all facts into consideration, I feel justified in coming to the conclusion that we have entered on the most glowing year that British trade has ever seen." Mr. Lloyd George estimated that the increase in the customs and excise taxes would be $12,- 825,000, the increase in the death duties $7,500,000, and the increase in the income tax and supertax $5,700,000. The balance of the shortage would be made up with the in come tax and other revenue due last year, but only paid at the beginning of the current year, and $5,000,000 taken from the exchequer balance, and representing money voted for the navy in 1911-12 but not expended. The Chancellor estimated that the total revenue on the existing basis of taxation would be $979- 125,000, leaving a margin of $925, - 000 over the estimated expenditure. " The cost of armaments, " Chancellor Lloyd George remarked, "is the largest and most sterile in my experience, ami I cannot see any prospect of this menacing development coming to an end, unless some changes take place in the attitude and the policy of the nations concerned. The expenditure on education ELECTRICITY IN MINE OPERATING (BY L. SAVILLE) A dynamo is a machine for producing electric currents by mechanical means, and electricity is used as a means of transmitting power. The source of power may be steam or water. Transmitting power by electricity claims advantages over other systems, such as considerable reduction in capital expenditure for long distances compared with either compressed air, endless rope or steam, the greater the distance the greater the economy: small generating plant, small cost of maintenance, high efficiency, small loss through leakage ns compared with compressed air. The cables take up very little room and can very easily and quickly be fixed and laid around sharp bends in much less time than is required to put in com pressed-air pipes or endless ropes; and cables and motors are easily removable from place to place. The disadvantages of electricity for underground use are that it cannot very well be applied to coal cutting in mines subject to explosives mixtures of firedamp, although it is claimed that this danger has been overcome to a certain extent by enclosing the armature, commutattor and swithes (which are parts of the motor subject to sparking) in gas- tight cases, It should not be used in any mine or part of a mine where there is likely to be danger from gas or dust. One of the best safety lamps used for feating should be provided with each motor when working and should the lamp at any time show any indication of firedamp the current should be immediately cut off and a report made .to proper official, and the current should not be used again until an examination has been made by such official and the place found safe and a report made and signed by him (to that extent) in a book kept at the mine for the purpose. Another objection is the risk of fire from the breaking of the cables by falls of roof or derailed cars, for if the cable be broken there would be sparking at the point of sevorance.and the difference of potential existing on either side of the break causes the current to arc across the space between the broken ends of the wires, which will continue until the space between the broken ends of the wires, which will continue until the space resisten- ance is too great, and will then cease, If some other substance of a higher conductivity than air intervenes in the gap, theeurrent may continue to find its way along this, even after tho two ends of the cable ha\''"> got too far apart to carry the current direct. Moist timbermaydo this, lt is then a source of danger as a means of letting fire to any surrounding inflammable material or gas, HOUSE PASSES CLOSURE RULES Government Has Majoriety of Tfiirty-Five by Straight Party Vote. The closure rules passed the House at Ottawa shortly before one o'clock on Thursday morning by a straight party vote of 108 to 73- a Government majority of 35. The division was not marked by any special incidents outside of the noisy cheering by both sides after the House had adjourned. There were two divisions. The first was on llic motion of Hon. J. D. Hazcn that the question be now put. This was carried by a 35 majority, and the main resolution amending the uilos waa then put, and was carried by the same division. The Week's Output. The output for the local mines this week shows an increase of 501 tons over the previous week. The total for the six working days, commencing Saturday April 19th to Friday April 25th inclusive, totals 9341 tons. The output still keeps climbing up in spite of the few remaining agitators who are still here trying to dupe the ignorant. The latest deception that the few soreheads are trying to make the many gulp down is to the effect that two hundred Russians were on their way here and that the Union got hold of 195 and persuaded them to go back. Anything goes with them to keep the feeble minded here idle on the $4.00 remittance money. Furnished Rooms to Rent, stove heated.—For particulars apply at this office.
