KOOTENAY INDIGNANT Rev. H. S. Magee said to Have Slandered People in Interview Nelson, April 7.—Great indignation is felt here over an interview in the Toronto Globe of March 28 with Rev. H. 8. Magee, associate secretary of Temperance and Moral Reform for the Methodist church. Mr. Magee, who paid a visit here a fortningbt ago, says in the interview tbat "the dark spot in BritishColunibio is the Koote- ensys. There in the Kootenay country tbe labor conditions tend to make the people Godless and irreligious. The extremes of atheistic, anarchistic and socialistic are rampant, and the brothel and tbe whisky shop go together to degrade men." In an editorial commenting on Mr. Magee's statement, the Daily News says in part: "Rev H. S. Magee should be expelled from bis present position and promoted to the combined position of president and secretary of tbe Ananias olub. A more dastardly libel has never been uttered regarding the Kootenays, and that such vile statements should emanate Irom a man travelling in tbe guise of a minister of religion and received as such witb respect and hospitality in decent communities, is simply outrageous. If there be any branch of this reform organisation in Nelson, or in any other part of the Kootenays, immediate steps should be taken to have this slanderer called down and expelled from the organization." BANK OF VANCOUVER Shares Eagerly Taken Up — Books Opened. Vancouver, April 7.—The activity of tbe provisional offices of the Bank of Vanoouver yesterday looked much like that of an actual banking business which, as the financial worid knows, the Banking Act will not permit until half of the oapital i is subscribed and the necesssry deposit is made witb tbe Treasury Board or Department of Finanoe at Ottawa. The aotivity waa due to tbe opening yesterday of the bank's subscription books. The eagerness to secure •hare* in this new and only "home" bank in British Columbia with its head office here is unprecedented in the West, if not in tbe banking history of Canada.^ Although tbe bank's subscription books were formally opened they show a subscription of $280,000 worth of shares of the $3,000,000 which under the act it is necessary to have subscribed, $250,000 of which must be deposited st Ottawa for the period required by the act before the bank iB permitted to receive tbe depositor's first dollar. EQUIP EVERY HOSPITAL Government Requires Accom modation for Consumptives Victoria, April 7.—An order-in council bas been passed making it compulsory on hospitals receiving government aid to provide scconimo- dation for cases of tuberculosis in advanced stages. Hon. H. E. Young, in explaining this new order, bas stated tbat in future all hospitals drawing sid from the government would have to provide the means for giving accommodation and treatment to advanced stages of tuber culosis. Tbe sanatorium at Tranquille was intended only for incipient cases. There it wss boped tbat pstients would be cured. ENGLAND VS. SCOTLAND Great Football Match Results in Tie.

Montreal, April 8.—For five hours yesterday afternoon aud evening, John Smith, a book agent, kept a large posse of the Montreal police force and a detachment of the fire brigade at bay, killing one constable, wounding another and Chief Detective Carpenter before he was finally shot during a fusilade which a large number of police poured in on tbe bouse.

St, Catherines, April'7.— V determined effort was msde early tbis morning by three or four men to rob a branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada at St. Davies, a village near here. Several strsngers came to tho village early last night and were seen around town for several hours. Then they stole a couple of horses at Doyles hotel, and breaking open a blacksmith shop, stole tools with which they pried open the front door of the Imperial Bank. While two men wiih revolvers stood on guard the other* blew open the vault. The bank clerk, named Hamilton, attracted by the explosion, came up to see what was the matter. He attacked tbe robbers with stones. They returned bis charges with revolvers. Tbe noise of tbe shooting awoke the village and everybody was soon astir. Tbe robbers were determined, bow ever, snd held off the populace, who being unarmed, stood under cover. When, however, the robbers failed to open tbe inner door of tbe vault they gave up in despsir and drove off. It was found afterwards that the inner door of tbe vault was so badly wrecked tbat it could be pulled out. Behind it was $3000. RETURN OF SPRING The Brightest Season of the Year. Revelstoke is onoe more assuming her normal condition and is prepsring for the annual spring clean up, which entails more or less worry, anxiety and grumbling on the part of every member of tbe household. Tbis is a season when all men turn over a new leaf, at least, make tbat resolution to conduct themselves in the way they should walk. Youthful spring is once more blowing its balmy breath over the great west and our thoughts are turning to love and green onions. The birds are commencing to sing in front of the houses, while away in the rear the increasing cackle of the bens indicates a fall in the price of eggs. The ooal men are wearing tbeir visages draped in frowns, while the chaps with the ice for sale already grin aa they watch the thermometer making for the high seats. The married men are already cutting out their drinks in order that their wives can buy new hats. The little boys are picking out tbe best places for swimming and bathing, and on every side the trees and bushes show signs of the "warin' o' the green." The spring poet has come down with the rain and is burning the midnight electric in order to get the thousand thoughts that burn his brain down ou paper ere they fade away forever and leave the world in partial darkness. All these signs and many more indicate the joyous spring has pushed old winter over tbe damp oblivion and is once again covering tbe face of nature with flowers, and filling the ozone with the sweet songs that emanate Irom the throats ol winged creatures fresh from tbe training school of the Creator. It ie a universal wish that the world would stand still snd give us eternal May. But it cannot unless we discover some way to put a brake upon the sun. Let Revelstoke shake off tbe pessimism that has enthralled her. this winter and rise on the stepping stones of her dead self to higher things. Let us make use of our op- poitunities and take every advantage of them tbis yesr, and tbe results will not be slow to follow. ' ' NEW YORK'S EASTER Millions Disbursed for Bonnets, Spring Raiment and Flower Easter—Chiistiau Easter—may or may not be of pagan origin, but certain it is that as now celebrated it has some pagan characteristics. Lavish display, which means lavish expenditure of money, is tbe most striking feature ot the festival in New York People who have never thought of tbi. phase of Easter may be surprised to hear that the raetropplis spends $9,- 000,000 at this seas.n fur cloth.s, flowers, presents and church contributions. And of course New York is not alone; it only leads in the "spring opening" business. Here is New York's Easter bill: The Easter bonnet $3,000,000 Easter gowns 2,750,000 Men's apparel 1,000,000 For dressing the children... 600,000 Flowers 1,500,000 Candy and fancy boxes 260,000 Church contributions 260,000 Asquith Premier Elect Biarritz, April 7—Sir Henry Camp- bell-Bsnnermsn, tbe British Prime Minister, has resigned. Herbert Henry Asquith, Chancellor of the Exchequer, bss been summoned here (or s oonferonoe with King Edward. A speoial courier arrived here today with the letter of resignation from Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman. It was announced later that King Edwsrd bsd socepted tbe Premier's reslgnstion snd had summoned Herbert H. Asquith to come at once to Biarritz. It is the understanding here tbat the Premiership will be offered by the King to Mr. Asquitb. Hardware Food Seattle, Wash., April 7.—Henry Hsrrisoo has had removed Irom the innermost recesses of bis system 11 blsdes, five lath nails, six small screws three tacks and sundry other bits of bsrdware incidentally. When Harrison summoned the surgeon he wss suffering from appendicitis. Harrison makes his living on the vaudeville oirouits, swallowing glass, knife blsdes, horseshoo nails and other artioles. He is 38 years old and has been following his vocation for 20 years, Total $9,260,000 These figures sre based upon careful estimates of a large number of the leading milliners, dressmakers, tailors, haberdashers, florists and other storekeepers. The figures probably do not represent the actual proportions of the average New Yorker's material and spiritusl in erests, but there is the bald fact—out of nine millions spent in connection with the observance ol Easter the church gets a thirty seventh part.—Washington Star. Canadian Journalists London, April 7.—Mr. Kipling discourses on the Csnadian journalist in the Morning Post this week. He says that in Canada It is always delighful to meet reporters, for tbey are men wbo are interested in their land, with the keen unselfish interest one finds in young house surgeons or civilians. One felt at every turn oi tbe quick sentences that one wns dealing witb made and trained players ol the game, balanced men who believed that the decencies were not to be disregsrded, confidence not to be violated, and honor not to be mocked. Yet, while the men's talk was so good and new, their written word seemed to be cast in conventional moulds. One hated to think of tbese splendid people using second-class words to express first-class emotions, DID Y0UiGtTcWHAT V0U .r^P^Pl.

V\LDNE8DAY, APRIL 8, 1908 WITH A CI/KAR CONSCIENCE Now that the spring is upon us, the general hope tbat fills the mind of every citiien, is that things will improve and that the wheels of commerce wi 11 turn more swiftly. Although we feel the pinch of hard linn-, yet the very fact of a Berious reverse in our business and commercial life, will do considerable material good in teaching the lesson of economy, not necessarily in every tihace of life, but simply ss an iiivi.--tn.eiit against hard times and financial stringency such as have weighed heavily upon us this winter. In taking a retrospective view of the past few months, we find that in spite ot the commercial depression all over Canada, Kevelstoke hss sailed along, her head well ubove water, her people practicing thai give and take principle which in in reality the backbone of theiuoce*. and consolidation of our growing western cities. The more money sjient in our common ity the lielter for all concerned. No mail order house hi-lp.-d to huild our schools or o|ien up our city streets, No mail order house ever took you by the hand when you were in distress and told you to let that little account go until alter hard times were over. No mail order house over sold you goods and spent every cent of its profits right hack in the community. No mail order Utilise rejoiced with you when you were glad or spoke encouraging words, or stood beside the grave with uncovered heads when your children died. Tbe mail order house is after the. hands on will be jerked out of Revelstoke. It may bear the semblance on its face of friendship, but no human heart beats under its cloak of hypocrisy. Sentiment of it is unknown. It is cold and bloodless as a corpse. All these houpes put together would not increase the value of your property one cent. They are parasite*? to whom life is only poKaible as long as they can suck the blond out of little far awny communities to tho upbuilding of which they contribute nothing. They create no lcsal market for the products yon have for sale, They have no property in your district which can be assessed to help bear your burden of taxation. It ie, however, an unfortunate fact, showing the absence of any sense of right and justice, that many people seem to regard their local stores as though they were established merely for accommodation. When these people have cash to spend it goes to the catalogue houses, but when times are dull and they are out of work, what do they do ? Do they write to the mail order houses and ask for a little time for a favor, If they do, they fail to get it. How many houses and properties have been paid for by your local merchants advancing both the goods necessary to keep life in the body and casli to meet that dreaded interest on mortgage or "bluo paper." When you are in need and deserve it your home merchant will help you out. He helps to keep up the schools and churches. He contributes his share lor roads, etc. When there is need for special funds he usually heads the list. True Citizenship is not all in rallying around the national flag of our country and singing God Save the King or the Maple Leaf for Ever. CANADA'S DEBT TO BRITAIN. There are many Canadians who think and talk so much of Great Britain's duty to Canada that they overlook Canada's duty to Great Britain. It is well to bear in mind that the most hopeless sort of Little Englander, who thinks that the self-governing colonies are a nuisance, does actually pay his share year by year towards the maintenance of the British navy, which is the only security not only of the existence of the empire, but also of the preservation of Canadian liberties.—Cauada. Kipling and Canadian Girl In the second of his series of "Letters to the Family," describing bis recent tour of Canada in Collier'* Weekly, Rudyard Kipling tells of running across a Canadian girl that made him pause and ponder. He descril.es tbe incident as follow*: "Whioh reminds we lhat the other day I saw the lady hereelf. in tbe NETTED $150,000. Big String of Charges Made Against Insurance Man.

Conducting bogus funerals. Stealing letters from the mails. Embezzlement. Grand laroeny. Violations of the insurance law. Issuing bad cheques. The amount involved is said to be $150,000. Forrest F.

Scott Anderson writes to the Miner Irom Sheffield, Eng., calling attention to the fact that His Majesty's Indian Government has just awarded him a gold medal and diploma for services rendered to it in the electrical reduction of iron ore and its conversion to steel. Tbe government he says is now considering a large project for the utilization of its ore deposits, in which scheme electrical smelting will play an important part. Mr, Anderson is also engaged in other iron projects for tbe Russian government, and also for New Zealand. He lias devoted some years to the electro-metallurgical industry, more particularly to iron and copper In copper he states that he and associates have plants producing pure electrolytic copper direct from ore, shape of a tall woman of 25 or 26, waiting for her tram on a street cor- j carrying 4 per cent of the metal, at * nor.

His object in visiting BnliBh Columbia is to have some sport as w*ll us get material for u forthcoming illustrated book on tht- big game of Biiiisb Columbia lie has never hunted iu Canada, although be bas recorded his adveulures in the wilds of Newfoundland iu very graphic style. Baron Von Hsgen, well known in British Columbia, will hunt in B. C. this summer and next fall. Other visitors will include Lord Vivien of the Seventeenth Lancers. He will likely spend his outing iti the - Csriboo district. Scores of Amsrican sportsmen are also expected. Tbe Lillooet district will Attract Mr. M Williams, president of the Susque henna Coal Companv of Pittsburg, end Mr. Phillips, a millionaire steel magnate of the seme oity. This is tbe season when grisslies esn be shot in large numbers in Gardner Inlet. Various parties will leave for that region within a week. To this list must be added Mr. Boentiu, a famous English big gsme banter who has bad thrilling adven tures in many countries. On one occasion he bad his srm nearly chewed' off by a lion which he had mortsliy wounded alter killing three other linns in quick succession in the jungle. He will also write his experiences in the north. Many inquiries have come in regarding the gsme prospects of the Big Bend, north of Revelstoke ss well as in other parts of that district. The Bookies and Selkirks will be visited slso by s Urge number ot visitors wbo bsve signified their intention of bunting big game. BIG GAME PRESERVE Large Area in the Kootenay Located. A vast preserve for big game aggregating hundreds of square miles, will be Isid out in Esst Kootenay this spring by the provincisl government ss s result of strong representations of prominent Canadian and American sportsmen. It will be located somewhere in the mountainous region lying between the Ciow's Nest Pass brsneb of the C. P. R. and the main line, and will serve the same purpose as the famous Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, undsr the control of the War Department. Tbe tssk of detlning the limits of ths propossd reserve has been intrusted to Mr. A. B. Williams, provincial gams warden, who will visit the dietriot within the next few weeks. He bas received valuable suggestions from various well known sportsmen, including Dr. W. T. Hornsday, director of tbe New York Zoological Park, who has been a frequent visitor to East Kootenay, regsrded par excellence as a veritable hunter's paradise.

Rockies constituting the boundary between British Columbia and Alberts. Mr. C. M. Edwards of Cranbrook hss also advised the reservation of a portion of this territory and additional mileage io the region farther north and extending west as far as the con- fludece of tbe Columbia and White rivers, In this mountainous country moose, caribou and elk roam in vast numbers, while grizzlies, sheep and goats are also very plentiful. A well known hunter declared that it contains more moose than all the rest of the Dominion. After the reserve is defined stringent regulstions for the perpetual protection of the big game will be' enforced. If, the experience in the Yellowstone Park ie duplicated the animals will become tame when Ibey realize that they will not be molested. It is an everyday sight in the American reservation to see vast herds of deer along the main driveways traversed hy the thousands of people who visit the park every summer, So tame have the bears become tbat they daily visit the big hotels to partake of a meal from the scrapheaps thrown out of the kitchens. Mr. Williams is confident that the Canadian reserve will in time become likewise a great resort for tourists who will also be enabled to enjoy good shooting in the adjscent district where the game will only be protected during the closo season. What is a Box Car? The following from an exchange may be of interest: "A box car belongs to tbe fowl family. During the spring and summer months it can be found in nearly every part of tbe country, its favorite haunts being railroad tracks, end it is easy to capture. In the autumn, however, like certain other fowls, it goes into hibernation or flies to other climes. Scattered instances are known where specimens aro captured during the autumn months. A Issbo or a well greased switch orew is sometimes used in mar- lug the box car, but main strength is the best weapon, lu any case the hunter must be very wary as any noise like the fluttering of a way bill will make the quarry disappear. Some railways own large Hocks of domesti- oated box cars, but they are carefully guarded dm ing thu closed aeasnn. Tbe wild box car, when caught and fairly well loaded, becomes perfectly stationary." C. P. R. WAGES Announcement Regarding Cancellation of Schedules. Vancouver, April 7 —According to sn official explanation given out in Winnipeg yesterday by the C. P. R. authorities at tbat point, and communicated by wire to Mr. F. F. But- teed, general superintendent of the Pacific division, it is not the intention of the company to reduce the maximum rate of wages paid any of the shopmen at points west of Fort William. As announced in The Province Thursday, the C. P. R. bas served notice on all the union west of Fort William with which it has wage agreements tbat they will be cancelled on A ril 30, which is the ususl thirty days' notice requiied. In the Winnipeg announcement of yesterday the C. P. R. officials further declared that it is not the intention of the company to. disturb the rules affecting a day's labor or the rules governing payment for overtime. The executive officials of the Vancouver unions affected are now in telegraph communication with their headquarters officials, and witb tbeir representatives in Winnipeg. The Vancouver union men are as yet entirely in the dark as to tbe reasons for the move of the railway company, but they are inclined to look upon it an a step preparatory lo a reduction in wages of all shopmen on the western lines. Iu all probability representatives of the various unions in Vancouver and ut other British Columbia points will go to Winnipeg at an early date to wait upon railway ollicial* and learn the company's exact intentions. At present the local shops of the C. P. R. are not working full time, and employees declare that as the cost of living here is now greater, if anything, than it waB at the time the last schedules were signed, any reduction in wages would not be well received. Comaplix From Our Own Corrapoiitlont. Malcolm McMillan, G. Edgo and Mr. Mdnncs intend working Big Creek this season for placer gold. The Bowman Lumber Co,'s mill will re open shortly. It is intended to thoroughly drive Fish Creek this season and thus secure the big piles of logs that have accumulated there.

Mining is looking brighter here than for some time. A new company has been organised to work the Lucky Boy and it is stated they will shortly start work. The Silver Cup is doing splendidly. It is reported they have the largest and richest body of ore yet discovered in the history of the mine. There is six feet in width of ore, of which ij feet iB grey copper. This is 150 feet below the 800-foot level and another level is to be run about 400 feet further down the hill to develop the downward continuation of tbis fine shoot. The mine hss been shipping 150 to 200 tons a month of ore that runs iihoiil $200 a ton in values. Good news also comes from the True Fissure Group, being operated by the True Fissure Milling and Milling Company. On the St. Elmo vein they have lour fcot of solid ore in sight, of which 2 feet is grey copper, carrying values up to 550 ozs, silver and $20 in gold. A shipment has been made to Trail smelter which will avorage $80 a ton, and another carload is being got out frum the now strike, Nativo silver is found in the carbonates in this vein.

The family life of Mi- cauber waa overdone, though the situations at times were ludicrous. The play lucked those essentials which arc necessary to concentrate interest.
