The property belonged to Mrs. P. Arthur and is rented by her son, Mr. Fred Arthur. The barn contained 35 tons of new hay, a few -wagons and harness sets, all of which was cov- | ered by insurance. The manager of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company visited the scene of the fire on Tuesday morning and the claims were satisfactorily settled. It was rumored that a discharged employee had threratened Mr. Arthur's property, but no evidence is at hand to point to the barn having been purposely set afire as it happened so late in the morning. This is the third fire in two years. The last is well remembered when all of employee had threatened Mr. Ar- lie Fong's property destroyed.

Tho two associations have been in close touch for years. President Barker of tbe B. C. Packers is the Barker of the other association. Mr. George, who died recently, was a litelong friend of Mr. Barker and was well known In British Columbia. His death made tills absorption or amalgamation desirable for the protection oi mutual interests. �� The George & Barker interests, however, have been incorporated as a subsidiary company and Aemilius company this morning and the wharf is to be ready within two months. S. Doe, of Victoria, was the successful tenderer, a large number of bids being submitted. The dock proper will be 441 feet long and 61 feet wide. It will be approached by a long pier 1700 feet long. A trestle will be built on one side for unloading the large consignments of steel which are now en route from the Atlantic coast for the Vancouver Island lines of the Canadian Northern Pacific. More than 14,000 tons of rails are on the way. The wharf is designed with a view of utilization later on for ferry slips, and the transfer of car barges from the mainland. The company will establish facilities later at Woodwards Landing, Lulu Island, for the service across the gulf. Tracks will be laid on the decy' for transhipping the steel.

KOOTENAY CENTRAL RY. LONG DISTANCE RATES ARE CUT B. C. Telephone Company Reduces Charges From Forty to Sixty Per Cent. Reduction .n long distance telephone rates between adjacent exchanges has been put into effect by the B. C. Telephone Company. This does not apply between points far apart, but to the shorter distances only, the reduction ranging from 40 to 60 per cent. Rates for telephoning are based on a defnite standard, set by experts who take all the conditions Into consideration. Under this principle, the minimum rate Is 25 cents, which applies to most of the exchanges of the B. C. Telephone Company. Establishment of long distance telephone equipment is costly and the minimum rate decided on is not counted unreasonable. In adjacent exchanges, however, where interests are more mutual, the rate has been thought high, hence the decrease. In setting out the limits of a telephone exchange, the company always gives consldeiation to local conditions, but the boundary has to Ibe placed somewhere and conditions j arise which cannot be avoided. For I instance, a subscriber living near the I eastern limit o," the Cloverdale territory in the Fraser valley might be a close neighbor of a subscriber living I near the western boundary of the i Milner telephone district. Although j living close to each other, to reach |the other by telephone talking j would have to be done a long way I round. The Milner man would call up his own exchange, and the route would double back, proceeding past tho wanted party to Cloverdale exchange and thence again doubling. In such cases 25 cents appeares high to the subscriber and prevents the free use of the telephone, except In VANCOUVER, July 29.���Track has now been laid on more than 20 miles of track beyond Spillimacheen on the Kootenay Central line south from Golden, states Mr. J. G. Sullivan, chief engineer of C. P. R. western lines, now in the city. The official added that the company expected to have the entire line from Golden to the junction point with the Crow's Nest line near Fort Steele ready for traffic this coming fall. IN ITED FARMERS TO APPOINT SALESMEN Maple Ridge Producers Will Have Marketing Agent With Headquarters in Vancouver. PORT HANEY, July 27.���The United Farmers, Ltd., of Maple Ridge have decided to appoint a permanent salesman with headquarters In Vancouver, who will handle tbe various products of this co-operative concern and be on the ground ready to do business direct with the wholesale or consumer in the Terminal City. Mr. L. G. Rayner, secretary of the Hammond Fruit Association, is the likely appointee tor the position and will probably take up his new duties next month. The enormous strides made by this concern, which Is operated by the farmers themselves, is well instanced in the report of Manager L. S. Carr who states that an increase in turnover for last month of 69 per cent. over that of the corresponding month last year is noted. I'e-lestrian Twice Knocked Down, Wants Cyclists to Keep to the Left Hereafter. Cyclists who have not a light on their bicycles are requested by one who has been knocked down twice on the Slough road to kindly keep to the left side to avoid accidents. This rule, observed by all other means of transportation, is often overlooked by the owners of bicycles who manage to ride all over the road, having collisions with pedestrians and other riders like themselves. TS POORLY RECEIVED. POSTAGE RATES. Only Twenty-One Per Cent. Is Subscribed���War Scare Is Blamed for Public's Attitude. LONDON, July 28.���Only twenty- one per cent, of the Canadian Northern Railway $15,000,000 loan has been taken up by the public. Commenting on its poor reception, "The Daily News," says: "Such an unsatisfactory result is not to be wondered at. It is quite true that the debentures possess many attractions, their currency being for twenty years at the rate of interest of four per cent., the price of the issue 94, and unconditionally guaranteed by the Canadian government. These would be great attractions in normal times, but times are not normal. War is in the air and that explains why the reception was not warmer." LONDON, July 28.���The Postmaster-General, Hon. Mr. Hobhouse, slated in the House of Commons yesterday that the present rate of postage on British newspapers, magazines and trade journals, sent from the United Kingdom to Canada, would remain In force until December 81. He added that he hoped shortly to be in a position to make a statement as regards the conditions of the service after that date. GREAT ALPINE FLIGHT. Italian Aviator With Passenger Traverses Monte Rosa limine 15 217 Feet in Height. GENEVA, Switzerland. July 28 ��� The greatest Alpine flight with a passenger on record was accomplished yesterday by the Italian aviator, Aehillo Landini, who was accompanied by Dr. Lampugnani.

They landed safely at Vlsh at 7:50 o'clock, thus taking nearly three hours to cover a straight 100 miles, but they lost their way in the clouds and suffered greatly from the cold. The Swiss authorities gave an official reception in celebration of the event. . _,i&$ FIRE WILL COST (H..O(��.00(). 0O00000O0O0'"*O00'-00 o o o HARMONICON WINS KING GEORGE STAKES Sugar cured corned pork 15c to 20c Jarvis & Co., of Toronto are putting |emergencies, Home-made pork sausage 15c to 20c $150,000 of its bonds on the market.

VIENNA, July 29.���It is with a feeling of relief that the people in the dual monarchy look forward to the war with Servia, which was yesterday formally declared. Even certain knowledge that Russia would intervene would not now cause Austria to hesitate a moment or alter her course in the sligh'.est. News of tbe formal declaration of war ran through the city before extra editions of the newspapers could reach the v'.idors' hands and was everywhere greeted with a spirit which might be described as close to exultation. Censorship strict. Vienna is absolutely without news of the movements of the troops, which the papers are naturally forbidden to print. A sharp censorship has been established over the press; and all other means of communication. An immense but quiet crowd which constantly increased in numbers assembled before the war ministry. Cheers greeted the appearance of military officers and the ministry officials. Official Statement. Tiie evening papers published the following inspired statement: "In well informed circles the view is held that so far as Sir Edward Grey's proposal is to localize the conflict between Austria-Hungary and Servia, the former can declare herself entirely agreed with Sir Edward Grey's remarks, but regarding what lie has said concerning the suppression of military operations, affairs have proceeded much too far ! to allow anything to be done in "this | direction." Food Prices Soar. VIENNA, July 29.���There was an abnormal rise in the price of provisions yesterday, which caused great indignation on the part of the public. Vegetables in many cases trebled in price. Feeling ran so high that in many instances stallkeepers in the markets were mobbed or assaulted and ( the police had to be called out to restore order. The authorities declare that the sudden increase in the price of provisions and vegetables is totally unwarranted. A committee appointed to deal with the question of provisioning the country sat yesterday to discuss the regulation of prices in order to prevent the public being cheated. A similar meeting was held in the Diet. It was officially asserted that there was no reason for apprehension with regard to the food supplies. Families of Reservists. Official arrangements bave been 'made to take care of families of re- Isorvlsts called to the colors. In I event a reservist is killed or reported missing an allowance of about 23 cents per day for each adult nnd 12 1-2 cents a day for children will ! be continued for six months. Germany Watches Russia. BERLIN. July 28.���No confirmation hud been received up to a late hour last evening either by tlle German Foreign Office or tiie Russian Embassy of the mobilization of the various army corps in Russia reported in yesterday's despatches to London. A German official declared flatly that any Russian mobilization against Austria, partial or otherwise, meant war. German mobilization orders would tben, he said, immediately be issued and when these once bad been launched there would be no possibility of recalling them or of Germany resting on her arms while negotiations continued, as the strategic necessities of war on her two fronts would force Germany to strike immediately and hard. The opinion was expressed in well- informed Russian circles last night, however, that partial mobilization of Russian troops along the Austrian frontier was quite possible, as an answer to the Austrian declaration of war on Servia.

VIENNA, July 29.���A manifesto tfcsued last night by the Emperor F.a . is j ��� . ph, afl .' stating that it bail " r.i b s tervent wish to dedicate bis declining years lo preserving the Empire from the burdens and sacrifices of war, says: -'Providence has decreed .-ther- wise. The intrigues of a malevolent opponent compel in defence of the honor of my monarchy and for the protection of its dignity und for the security of its possessions to grasp the sword, alter long years of peace." The manifesto!* refers to the Ingratitude of Servia for the support the Emperor's ancestors afforded to Servian independence; how Servia for years has pursued a path of open hostility tu Austria-Hungary; how Austrian annexation of Bosnia, which injured no Servian rights, called forth in Servia outbreaks of the bitterest hatred. "My Government," continues the Emperor, "then employed the handsome privileges of the stronger and with extreme consideration and leniency only requested Servia to reduce 'her army to a peace footing and promise to tread the paths of peace and of friendship." Recalling that it was Austrian forbearance two years ago that enabled Servla to reap the fruits of .he struggle against Turkey, the Emperor says: "Tlie hope that Servia would keep its word has not been fulfilled; the flame of its hatred for myself and my home has blazed always higher. The design to tear from us by force inseparable portions of Austria- Hungary lias been manifested with exer-lessening disguise." The manifesto then dwells on the ���'criminal propaganda which lias extended over the frontier, aiming at the destruction of the foundations of crder and loyalty in tbe southeastern part of the monarchy and the leading astray of growing youth and Inciting it to deeds of madness and high treason. It continues: "A series of murderous attacks in an organized and well carried out conspiracy, whose fruitful success wounded me and my loyal people to the heart, forms tbe visible and bloody track of those secret machinations which were operated direct ln Servia." Declaring that a stop must be put tp these intolerable provocations, the honor and dignity of the Monarchy protected and its political, military and economic developments guarded from continuous shocks, he says: "In vain did my Government make a last .attempt to induce Servia to desist. Servia rejected the just and moderate demands of my Government and refused to conform to the obligations forming the national foundations of peace in the life of peoples and states. I must therefore proceed by force of arms to secure those Indispensable pledges which alone can insure tranquility to now states within, and lasting peace without.

'All this fruit was sent back to the United Stales, whence it came. This is a heavy toll, it is true, but Iwhat can we do but condemn infected fruit?
