The only notable I -ature of last night's council meeting w-ns the arrangement for the operation of the power plant wheu it is transferred to the city by the Allls-t'lialmers-liulluek Company. The council met at 8 o'clock with all ihe members present except Aid. Patenaude. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. lhe fire, water and light committee reported recommending the employment of a foreman and two operators fur the power plant, the boarding house to be run by one of the operators, the appointments to be left to r. a. Brown. On 111.- motion to adopt the report Aid. Proctor objected. He thought tbe power plant was too big and too valuable to be risked on such a casual system of appointment He wished to hear all applications. Applications were then read from H. C. Cummins and H. C. P.ullis Aid. Procter wished lo have a man appointed in whom the council should have absolute confidence, to take charge of the plant only and to remain there. Aid Hale replied that the committee thought the city electrician better qualified than themselves to make such un appointment Aid. McMorris thought that If the council had not enough confidence in R. A. Hrown to pass such a resolution he ought to be dismissed. Aid. Procter retorted that the resison- Sibllity lay with the council and should not be laid on an official. The mayor suggested that any appointment made by R. A. brown should be subject to ratification by the council. No amendment was made and the resolution was adopted. Aid. Procter dissenting. The finance committee reported a number of payrolls, connected with Btreets, sewers and the power plant, which was ordered paid. Chief Deasy. of the fire department reported on his purchasing trip to Spokane. The total cost was 1826.46. The rest of his report. In substance, had previously appeared in the Canadian.

Brown slated that the city's plant would be in operation by Sunday and the street ear service by Monday afternoon. Tin- Allis- Cbaliners-Hullock and West Kootenay Power and Light Companies had been notified. The mayor further staled that he was informed by A. Jackson, the Allls-Chal- mers Company's governor expert, that he believed the company would be ready to turn over the plant lo the city for the final test at an earlier date than their agreement called for. lie had visited Ihe plant recently and considered Ilie work recently done to be entirely saiisfactory and highly creditable. He had compared Ihe new features with those of the West Kootenay Company's new plant. The mayor reported Ihe sale of the city's school debentures at 95 nei In Nelson with no Interest up to April (i, 1908. He explained that the city could have been free from Interest up to April IS. He had allowed the difference to Messrs. Mighton and Cavanaugh who had Incurred considerable expense and had served the city substantially without trying to malte any profit He also felt that the service rendered hy Mighton and Cavanaugh had greatly improved Ihe city's position for floating further loans. The mayor'* action was sustained. The mayor also gave notice that at the next meeting he would ask the council to pass a resolution authorising the signing of a note to cover the city's overdraft. The correspondence between the mayor and Capt, Gore in reference to the water service to the C. P. R. ship yard was then read. Capt. core's reply referred to private understandings which had not been observed. He was willing to pay for water connection hut not at the rate of $5(1 per month. The mayor had learned from Ex-Aid. Selous who had conducted the negotiations that there were no such private understandings, and he purposed taking the matter up with higher olficlals of the company. Aid. McMorris detailed interviews with Capt. Gore and with Ex-Aid. Sel ous, which confirmed the position taken by the mayor. The council unanimously agreed wilh the mayor that no reduction in tile amount agreed upon, $50 per month, could be considered. The mutter was left over for u week. Aid.

Many of the small organs were a chaos of entangling cords and fatty substances. How Judge McKelghan lived with such a strange transposition in his body appears marvellous. Surgeons are mystified at it. Whether he was born witli his organs in abnormal positions or they were put In this state through disease or some freak of nature is not knowm.

All llritish and Irish witnesses who have given evidence state that the quality of toreign timber la markedly Inferior to what it used to be, a fact which indicate* that the chief timber producing countries are using up at home the best of their own supplies. Tbe committee reports that as far a* Ireland is concerned the disposition of the area of land in the country ia suitable for afforestation aa well a* the disposition of the existing wood lands, which is a matter of grave concern. It reports In favor of a national scheme of forestry as a profitable investment to the state. London. April 22���The government department which has been inquiring into Irish forestry reports to parliament that the United States, the manufacturing inductrles of which have expanded enormously within the last 20 year*, Is consuming Its timber and destroying Its forests to an alarming extent. It tells parliament that of the four great, forest areas originally in the country two are practically gone and the third and fourth are going. It says that a timber famine Is coming in seven league boots. Evidence was given before the committee that Canada's supply is also ln danger and Ib likely in the future to be heavily encroached on by the United States. About a third of the supply of timber coming into the United Kingdom, or nearly ��7,000,000 ($35,000,000) worth anuuallly, comes from these countries.

BIBLE SOCIETY APPEAL British Columbia Branch Wants to Print Bible in 28 Tongue* to Reach All. Ab showing the tremendous nature of the problem presented by the present unprecedented immigration Into Canada attention should be directed to the statement made by Rev. R. T. Bowen at the meeting last night of the Nelsou branch of the Canadian Bible Society that the society has to offer the Holy Scriptures in seventy different languages. The number of these spoken in B. C. is twenty-eight. What this means for the public school and for the church few can estimate. What it means at the polling booth should also be carefully considered. The Bible Society of Canada, working alone, with the British and Foreign Bible Society is ln a position to help out the solving of the problem by means of the circulation of the Scriptures. The UBe of di-glott versions in which the text appears in English and a foreign language in parallel form ls an execllent device. To such an institution as the Bible Society all the churches must look for assistance and it is to be hoped that the society Itself as now re-organized will not look to the public for support ln vain. Tbe largely attended and representative meeting ln the Congregational Church and the enthusiastic and generous response to the appeal of Rev. Mr. Bowen ls a hopeful augury It ts proposed to raise $3,000 in British Columbia so that a good start may be made in colportage. and the Kootenays will receive the first share of the society's attention.

E. Hodgins, C. E.. has Issued a letter, the object of which ls to secure an administrative Investigation. Major Hodgins is now a resident ot Victoria. He came to Canada three years ago, after serving on the stall of Sir Percy Girouard ln Africa, was ap- polonted district engineer in charge of four hundred miles If the section eaat of Winnipeg, on the National Transcontinental railway. Last October he was dismissed. He appealed to Sir Wilfrid Laurier and General Manager Morae, but says no investigation, so far, ia proposed. Tbe pith of his charges is that the Grand Trunk Pacific engineer's reports and those in the employ of the government do not tally, that the government is paying padded accounts for the work done and that the Grand Trunk Pacific people are making no objection, because they merely have to pay tbe added Interest, The folowlng are tbe salient portions of Major Hodgln's letter: "Changes in the location of the line were made at some point by revision surveys. These Improved the line and also reduced tbe cost of the McArthur contract over one million dollars. I was able to make these revisions before Mr. McArthur started work ln earnest. The root of the trouble between tbe commissioner* and myself wae ever classification. They aksed me to change my ideas, based on a good many years' experience on construction, to the classification that ls allowed by contractors ln Quebec. It was suggested that I should ignore the chief engineer and act Independently; tbat the chief engineer liked to be Ignored. I refused to be more liberal in classification than I was then allowing, and suggested tbat the commissioners, not being railroad men, should leave the engineering department alone. "C. A. Young, commissioner for Manitoba, then advised tbat I should go to Quebec and see how things were managed in that district, where contractors were not kicking, and get an object lesson. I went, and returned determined not to allow Quebec classification to be introduced into the western district so long as I bad charge. This, of course, led to trouble and I got no assistance from chief engineers. "I have appealed in vain for an Investigation Into classification and have been told that It would be considered political interference with the management of the board of commissioners. If Mr. Poulln, engineer, appointed by Mr. Parent, to replace me on the western district, has allowed the introduction of classification similar to tbat in Quebec, this will account for the Increase In the estimated cost of the line. "If thels Increase amounts to three or four million dollars. It ts time the public demanded some explanation. The quickest way for the government to find out It the classification allowed ls extravagant or not will be tor tbe minister of railways to ask for monthly reports of the G. T. P. engineers who are stationed on the Wnnipeg and Quebec districts. Messrs. Mann, Heaman and Armstrong. Before I left Kenora, I said to an engineer who knows about Quebec classification, that there would surely be a big scandal over It, He replied that any Investigation would be blocked. Let the government ask for reports and opinions of engineers who are safeguarding the G. T. P. ln this and judge for themselves If M. Parent is correct in his standard of classification or extravagance." Prices of Metal*. New York, April 22���Silver.

It u*ok a few days tor the MacJiine pressof Canada to recover from the .staggering blow of the report of the civil service comuiibbiou. it la hardly oecessary io recapitulate the turiiis of Uiat report. So heavier indictment baa ever been to und against any Canadian government. We have had tne J'aciiic Scandal, the "'Steel Kail Steal, ' and the Tarte-.vlcGreevy charges, and each time a cabinet haa been driven from office, liui never before baa it heen revealed thai a whole party 01- -ganuuUon, including the members or the cabinet, was in league with thie.es to despoil the country. After the dial gasps of helplessness the .Machine tried desperately to iind a reply. There was something hysterical about the eulogy ol Sir Wilfrid Laurier's courage in risking tiie investigation. There was only imbecility in Mr. AyJcsWorth's "Liberal sheep and Tory goats." A plausible defence and one apparently sincere has since been found. This is iu an apparently frank admission of lhe existence of evil, u deploring ot it, a charge that it is peculiar to no party and au appeal to all patriots to crush it. The local Liberal organ quotes the Toronto World I rather remarkable, not (hat our contemporary should quote its editorial, but thai it should ijuute the Toronto World) to the effect that the only hope of salvation is In the organization of an independent party. Thai W. K. Maclean, editor and proprietor of the World, should advocate an independent party is not at all surprising. Uut Canadians will not rind the solution of their problem there. Conservatives wfl admit In all frank- ziess aud humility, that their own par ty history is stained with wrong doing. Hut there are depths to which they have never sunk. No Conservative leader has ever pleaded, alter twelve years of power, that he has not bad time to reform his service, nor has the rank and lile of the Conservative party ever been degraded to a mere machine for blocking investigation and shielding thieves from exposure. But even this last desperate and feeble reply that the Liberals have found has already beeu swept avvu\ bi the damning evidence of Major Hodgins. Major Arthur Jiudgius' name needs no introduction to Nelson leaders. He has bad a distinguished military and professional career. His connection with the building of the Grand Trunk Pa- ciiic is well known, and al! efforts of Liberal ministers, members and editors to hide the reason for his dismissal have failed. Defeated in his effort to secure a fair hearing by the Dominion cabinet Major Hodgins has by open tetter addressed the people of Canada. When he was last in Nelson, jU8t after hhj dismissal. Major Hodgins remarked to friends that the last seven years he had been lighting Boers in Africa and Liberal politicians in Canada, aud that for white man's lighting he preferred the Boers. He is now tilling Canada of hia experience. He refused to learu "tlie Quebec system" of treating contractors: Id plain English, be refused to be a party to wholesale stealing and there was no longer room for him In the service. The Influence of the thieves was all powerful, and an honest gentleman had to go. No one in Canada will dare to Im- in otic:��3. A general meeting of the shareholders of the Imperial Coal & Coke Company, Limited, will he held at the office of the Company, Room "S, Sovereign Bank Building, Montreal, Thursday, the Thirtieth day of April. 1008, for the purpose of electing directors to hold ofllce until the next Annua! Meet ing. to consider the financial position of the Company, and to adopt such means as may he deemed most advisable with a view to arranging lis rinan ces. and for such other business as may be legally brought before the meet- lug. The chair will be taken at 11 a. m. IMPKKIAL COKE & COAL COMPANY, LIMITED, Per Geo. Pyke, Secretary. peach the honesty of Major Arthur Hodgins. His Indictment is preferred in straight soldier fashion. He charges that millions have been stolen from the people of Canada with the knowledge and connivance or the- ministers who are responsible. Now. wait for the Machine's reply. DEATH OF SIR HENRY. The announcement of the death of Sir Henry Campbell-Baunerman will cause sorrow but not surprise. His Is another life sacrificed on the altar of duty and love of country. it is too earl] to attempt to find bia place in the ranks of Britain'a great dead. U it will be determined by future historians, but his place In the esteem and i>-p;.i:d of his oontemporaries is already fixed. Deficient as he undoubtedly was in many of the arts of th. statesman, and even of the political leader, he has performed a seem- tagl] Impossible tasta by sheer Force of .: bonest). absolute loyalty to principles, to friend and foe, and by Um magic of a kindly, old-fashioned Scottish courtesy that conquered even in Uie bitterness of political strife. It is DOt given to every generation to pioduce a Pitt, a Disraeli or a Salisbury, but the race that'can produce a succession of Campbell-Bannermans is fai from the road to decadence. Ii the dead statesman's fortune has not been to leave any great constructive work as his monument, his hold on the hearts of Britain is ?till secure. He haa maintained at its highest the ideals of unfaltering self-sacrifice, of unhesitating obedieuce to the call of duty and of self-immolation on the country's altar, which are the crowning glory of the British race.

Fire Is the greatest enemy the forest has; and, before it Is worth while attempting uny scientific management of the forests, some moans must be put in Operation Cor keeping the iires out of it, so that thore may be some certainty of our having a forest to manage. Tho auititiut of damage- done to forests by liri-H iu times beloro any protective system was established is simply incalculable, it has often boon said, and probably even falls short of the truth, Uiat lor every dollar's worth of timber taken by the lumbi'rmori trom tbe valley of the Ottawa river, one of Canada's greatest lumbering districts, tiros have destroyed ton dollars' worth, Most in evidence is tho destruction done by crown" Hies, files which get up into the toliage of the trees, in many tracts ot the wooded districts or Canada mile alter mile of country has beeu Swept over by such a lire, and uf what was once a thrifty, green forest only blackened stumps and tree trunks lemain. Sometimes uie consequences aro even more serious, and much lire and property ls destroyed. The Mira- michi. N. Li., (ire of October, lolio, destroyed 100 lives and a quarter of a million pounds sterling, in property; and two such flres in Wisconsin���the Peshtigo fire of 1871 and the Hinckley fire of 1894���were responsible for the loss of 1,600 lives and many millions of dollars' worth of property. A vast amount of loss is also done by "ground" and "surface" fires, fires which burn in the soil of the forest or run along tho surface and lick up the dead leaves ond other debris of tho forest. While not much timber is consumed by the fire itself, the fire damages the bases and roots of the trees, and through the wounds thus made fungi gain entrance to the tree and cause the rotting of the wood. In parts of tbe largest Dominion forest res ewe I the Riding Mountain reserve, in Manitoba), especially among the aspen or white poplar, three out of every four trees are found to be damaged iu this way. The area has been repeatedly burned over; the trees were thus wounded, the fungus spores gained entrance and the above result followed. Insects may also gain access to tree trunks in this way. lu view of these facts the importance of tire protection in the forest can easily be realized. The great thing to be done is to discover and put out the fire before it gets a start, and this is the great aim of the fire patrol systems instituted by the Dominion and several of the provincial governments.���Canadian Forestry Association.
