London; May 26.—Japan has been showing great activity of late in buying up second-hand merchant steamers, and she Is still ln the market for more. It Is evident that the Japanese are look- ~ Jng forward to a great revival In their trade as soon as the war is over, and shipowners who have their vessels ln the east have considerable expectations. But apart from tbat the. Japanese are inquiring through agents in London and elsewhere for suitable vessels, cbieliy iron steamers of 2000 to 3000 tons burden, built in the eighties, which, being rather below the standard for European trade cau be picked up cheap. Many such have changed hands this year, and the present month in particular has seen quite a number of old tramp steamers transferred to Japan. Tho disposal of these steamers is ridding tlie Western freight markets of a good deal of old tonnage which can very readily be spared, and .will, if it goes on at the present rate, "produce a demand for new boats which will be very welcome to British and European ship builders.

IN STRAITS OFKOREA Tokio Rumor That Togo and Rojestvensky Have Met There China's Prompt Measure to Enforce Neutrality of Shanghai Waters-Gave Russians Twonty-Four Hours to Quit ♦ ♦ ♦ Tokio, May 27.—(Noon) .—It is ♦ ♦ rumored iieie that the Japanese ♦ ♦ and Russian duets, under vice- ♦ ♦ admiral Togo and vice-admiral ♦ ♦ Rojestvensitj, have engaged lu ♦ ♦ the Korean .straits, ♦ ♦ ♦ .^♦♦♦♦♦♦♦^^♦^♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦» Shanghai, May 27.—-The Russian war vessels which were reported as being seen yesterday off the Saddle islands, northeast of Chusan archipelago, which affords a secure and commodious anchorage for large vessel's between the treaty ports of Ningpo and Wenchow, left last night. At the same time of their appearance the vessels of the Black Sea volunteer ileet, which have been acting as transports for years past, anchored „6ff Woosung at the mouth of tho Shanghai river. Tlie Chinese authorities ordered the ships to leave within 24 hours but so far the mandate has not been obeyed and they are still anchored in the Vangtsze. Woosung is protected by two Chinese forts. St. Petersburg, May 27.—(u.30 a.m.) —While a Hying raid of one or two commerce destroyers in the eastern sea is admitted as a possibility by the naval authorities here, these authorities are loath io believe that any division of Rojestvensky's squadrons in an important sense lias taken place, as reported from Shanghai, 'ihey prelei- to assume that tne^ unspecified Russian .ships reported to be outside* Shanghai, lute tiie six which entered the port of Woosung, are units of the transport fleet without special fighting value, and that perhaps Uiey have been sent through tu contuse the scent for Togo. A prominent naval strategist said to the Associated Press: "I do not know where admiral Rojestvensky is at present, but wherever he is you may be sure that he has his entire fighting force well bunched and is not weakening bis main squadron In the lace of the enemy. While It is possible, of course, that he may have chosen to double sharply to the westward north ot Formosa, and to seek Togo in the eastern sea, with the purpose of forcing him lo accept battle, 1 am Inclined to believe that lie is pursuing a course northward outside Japan. "The ships whose arrival near Shanghai have been reported, are not even classed as so-called converted cruisers, but vessels which, Hying the commercial Hag, were usable for transport purposes when passing Singapore, and the mystic 17 vessels reported as being outside Shanghai are probably colliers, with perhaps a war vessel of two. "1 should not lie surprised, however, If Rojestvensky detached several speedy liners, now converted cruisers, for a raid to the northward inside of Liuelilu Islands in order tu paralyze Japanese commerce and embarass Togo while tlie Russian lighting squadron is pursuing its main objective." London, May 27.—The Shanghai correspondent of tlie Daily Express cables: "All the Chinese cruisers in these waters cleared for action today aud Iho taotal went to the Russian consulate and demanded that the Russian ships leave within 2-1 hours." Cabling from Shanghai, the correspondent of the Daily Mail says he believes the vessels of the Russian Haltic squadron off Saddle Islands have proceeded on their voyage, and gives a rumor that the main Russian fleet is in the neighborhood of Fuchnii (province of Shantung.) The correspondent says that president Roosevelt has wired Ihe viceroy and taotai commending their steps tu preserve Chinese neutrality. The correspondent uf the Standard at Shanghai says the Russian transports now at Woosung, were convoyed by the cruisers Rion and Smolensk. DUNNE IS DISHAARTENED CHICAGO'S MAYOR SEES NO END TO TEAMSTEitS' STRIKE. ALL HOPE OF SETTLEMENT HAS BEEN ABANDONED. Chicago, May 26.—Rioting broke out afresh today In the teamsters' strike, and although nobody vtub seriously hurt there was a number of vicious fights In tho lumber district during which the police were compelled to use their clubs and in one instance revolvers, in order to disperse the mab. A serious fight took place at the corner of Canal and Madison streets, ad' Joining the passenger station of the Pennsylvania railway. The wagon of an express company, although proteoted by a policeman and a deputy sheriff, was attacked by a large crowd despite the fact that it bore on each side large placard declaring that all people had been enjoined from Interfering with the wagon by the federal court. The policeman displayed his revolver, but the crowd paid no attention to him. They rushed at the wagon and seizing the wheels attempted to overturn It. A riot call brought from the Desplaines street police station, four squares distant, a large force of officers who dispersed the crowd and arrested about 40 of the most active in the disturbance, The worst fight In the lumber district occurred ut 22nd street and Ashland av< enue, where a crowd of men and boys had all through the morning buried stones and clubs at every pacing lumber wagon. Finally a wagon on which a police officer was a passenger came along aud the mob greeted it wilh the usual volley of stones. Thoy also threatened to attack the driver and the situation was so serious that tho officer, drawing ills revolver, fired six shots at Uie crowd, whicli broke and fled In wild confusion. Nono of tbe bullets hit anybody. Tliis evening general rioting was prevalent throughout the lumber district and particularly in tlie territory near tbe Intersection of 35th street and Center avenue. The lumber wagons returning from making deliveries were attacked by crowds at every available opportunity. Large numbers of men armed With clubs, slungshpts and bricks, accompanied by jeering women, anil excited children, filled the sidewalks along Center avenue, 85th street, Loomis street and Archer avenue, awaiting the passage of wagons which were believed by the crowd to be unguarded. At Archer avenue and Loomis street, two trucks appeared with one policeman on each. They were immediately bombarded with bricks and stones and scores of air rifles were brought Into play; A bullet from one of these weapons seriously wounded policeman James Fitzpatrlck in the baud. The two policemen drew their revolvers and fired over the heads of the rioters, holding them at bay until the drivers managed to reach their destination at the yards of lhe Ritten- house & Embree Lumber company. Tbe strike today spread in a small degree throughout the building trades. There were a number of instances where woodworkers refused lu receive the material delivered by non-union teamsters and walked oul. This move lu every instance was made by men as individuals only, no official action was taken by any of Ihe trades unions looking tu active sympathetic mip-n-n 0£ the teamsters' strike. Several uf the labor leaders in the ranks of the material trades have declared within the last 12 hours thut there is no prospect in their opinion, of any complete tie up of Lhe building trades by. a strike of the men. .Mayor Dunne tonday, for the first time since the commencement of the teamsters' strike, declared that he knew of no contemplated plans for peace. The mayor talked as though he Iiad abandoned hope Of a settlement. Alderman Dover, chairman of the- city council peace com mi t tee, appointed a week ago, said tonight tliat he had practically ceased work as the committee could see no avenue in the controversy looking toward an adjustment of Mie differences between the teamsters and ihe employers.

Tho defendants clnlm to own the Houghton which was located while tho land of tbe Copper Dollar was covered by the now extinct Mat-tin fraction. Mr. Taylor said that the plaintiff attacks both the Hough- on and lie Ishpemlng on the ground of defective recording. Ho then proceeded to tile the record of the location of the Martin fraction, located the 4th of June, 1901, recorded 6th June, 1901, by one Ackers; Ackers' affidavit of the locntlon of the same date, and affidavit of work, also by Ackers, of June 2nd, 1903, the certificate Issued accordingly, the Tree minor's certificate of Ackers' good to May 31»t, vm and another to mat May, 1008.

The first witness called was W. 10. Doverotix, whose deafness made examination difficult. Devoreux declared the plan made tor Athoe to be correct. He Is a provincial land surveyor. Tlio claims, he snld. lay beyond Fish creek. S. S. Taylor then entered a copy of tlie affidavit of location or the King Solomon, Hth December, 1900, to prove the validity of the Martin fraction. He undertook to enter the re.**ord of location also. He then entered the free miner's certificate of W. B. Davereux covering the period of location of the King Solomon, and a. Inter certlllcate good lo May 31st, 1002, but not Issued until June 17, 1901. Devoreux said that from Mny :tl to Juno 17. 1001, he thought he hnd no certificate.

Tlte two covered the same ground. Court then adjourned to S o'clock. When court reopened nl S O'clock the llrst witness called was (Sowing. He stated that he located tho Copper Dollar fractional in August, 1904. Cross examined by C. It. Hamilton he said he know of a Copper Dollar fractional, located a year earlier, belonging to Athoe. It was abandoned by Athoe on account of un error in the location line, of his own accord, not at Sowing's request, ciowing agreed to relocate It und transfer It to Athoe. Ho staled on re-exnnilnatloii by S. S. Taylor that the stakes of tbe two Copper Dollar fractional claims were In almost Identical positions. S. S. Taylor then filed a copy of Athoe's abandonment of the Copper Dollar fractional. Ho then declnred the plaintiffs case close, i. O, K.

M. Klmiear's, Singer's, u record of location of Hi-' Wild Cat, and a certified copy of work on ll. A question arose as to whether a certificate of the lapse of a curtHIcate might he entered. S. S. Taylor held that it was not a matter of record, C, B. Hamilton hold that it was of record. The court ud- mltt.-d il subject to objection. A certified copj of u bill of sale of .the Wild Cat from C. D. Root lo Blocliberger and one iron Blochberger to his wife, wero entered. C Summer, nilnlrg recorder of Camborne was the first witness called for the defence. He produced a record of a survey by Devoreux, which was then filed. F. R. Blochberger was next culled. To his own counsel he said that he knew the Wild Cat; Its No. l post was beside tnflt of the Ishpemlng and of tho Martin; its No. 2 post beside the No. 2 post of tno Ishpemlllg, and the Nn. I ol" the [lotlgotoit were all together. All wero properly staked. S. S. 'Taylor, before cross examining Blochberger, objected to the evidence. O. R, Hamilton remarked Hint thb (Vise turned on the validity of the Martin, which la sot up by the plaintiff, though a third parly's claim, to invalidate tbe defendant's ease. S, S. Taylor maintained that bo hart been given no notlco of the Wild Cat. Hia contention was that the Ishpemlng was invalid because of tho Martin. Mr. Hamilton set up tbo Wild Cat to Invalidate tbo Martin. Mr. Hamilton reminded the court Hint V. C. Elliott, associated Willi s. s. Taylor, hud received a letter from him mentioning the Wild Cat. Ills lonlshlp-A Wild Cat Is a wild eat. S. S. Taylor—My lord, If my learned friend Is allowed to amend Ids ewe, 1 cannot go on now. Resuming, C, B. Hamilton argued that tho plaintiff bad ample notice of attack on tbe validity of the Martin. His lordship tuggested thnt the Question of the Wild Cat bu dropped, C. K. Hamilton declared his case ctosei nnd began bis argument, lie submitted that the defendant wus senior to the plaintiff In respect or both claims in dispute.

EDITORIAL NOTES. THF DAILY NEWS Published at Nplson every morning Except Monday, by P. J. DEANE ■jMMi(^)3 WHERE BRITISH COLUMBIA LEADS Tliere is one portion nf tlie report of the minister ot mines .wliich may lie read with profit by those Inhabitants of Mni dominion who do not reside within the limits o£ this favored province aud that is Table X, in whldh are contrasted nnd summed up the total metal and ■mineral production of the whole of the provinces of Canada other than Uiitish Columbia, and of British Columbia. Taking tlie group of the four metals, gold, silver, lead and copper, excluding the Yukon territory, the production of this province for 1904, not tlie banner year, wa^ $18,424,330 as against $1,918,- 9113 for the whole of the other provinces combined, or more than seven times as much. Even if to this is added tlie output, of tlie Yukon for 1904, an output which was confined io sold, British Columbia Is still In the lead, for all Canada and tlie Yukon together—only produced 512,250,963, leaving this province with an advantage of a million and a quarter. If the dominion's production of iron is added, a production in which this province does not at present share, though it will be reckoned in its output before another year has finished, British Columbia stiil leads by a few hundred thousand, the combined total against it being only $13,152,843. To heat this province it is necessary to bring Into the metal production the rich nickel deposits tit Sudbury and then British Columbia sinks to second place aa Iho combined metals of the whole of the provinces and the Yukon Is $17,871,« 990, Tlio totals of the metals arc as follows: Gold, Yukon, $10,3:17,000; British Columbia, $5,704,908, all other provinces, $358,092. Silver, British Columbia, $1,719,516, Canada outside of this province, $108,343. Copper, British Columbia, $4,578,037, Canada, $932,082. Lead. British Columbia, $1,421,874 Canada $215,540. The output of nickel Is $4,219,153, and of iron $901,880. Table X includes also coke and coal in the former of whicli British Columbia has only lately figured. Still out of a total coal production of $14,699,000 British Columbia contributes rather more than one-fourth, $3,700,884. The total amount of coke produced In the whole of Canada is $1,884,219 and here British Columbia is again In the lead, contributing nearly two-thirds, It Is suggested by the New York Sun that Ureal. Britain aud the United States would mutually profit by au exchange of the British West Indian Islands for Alaska. Tlie Sun thinks Canada wants Alaska and is quite sure tlte United Slates would gladly agree to any deal that would secure to the Stars [ and Stripes tho West Indian islands. There is nol much likelihood of the deal heing made. No move has been made iu Canada looking to the absorption of Alaska, either by purchase or exchange aud neither political party is likely to make such a question an issue. Great Britain is even less likely to consider a proposition to part with tho West Indian islands and it Is still more unlikely that the West Indians would entertain the proposition for a moment.

J. J, Hill's telegram to Duncan Boss Is fairly explicit. It should set at rest any doubts us to his Intentions in the matter of extending the V. V. & E. from Princeton to the const on Cann* dian soil. He says plainly that he is prepared to commence construction from Cloverdale east within two years and to have the line completed within two years from tlie coming fall if mountain conditions permit. Without attributing to ,T, J. Hill any philanthropic motives or crediting him with any special Virtues, it may fairly be said that as a railroad man he has heretofore not failed to carry out any project .which lie has undertaken. If he enters into an agreement to mako of the V. V. & E. railway virtually an all-Canadian line, without asking a cent of bonus from either the dominion or the provincial government, and to complete the same within two years from date oi' commencement, can it reasonably be contended that such a proposition is detrimental to tho best interests of this province? 1GNAT1EFF COMMISSION TO DO AWAY WITH MINOR STATE OF SIEOE. PROORIESS OF REFOR-M MOVEMENT IN HOLY RUSSIA. St. Petersburg, May 20.—The council of tin: emperor has increased tlie appropriation for public education by $025,000. Private reports from Zhitomir, province of Volhynia, say Uie tension between Uie Jews aud Christians Is increasing and ihat both sides are arming. The Ignatleff commission (for the revision uf exceptional laws designed for safeguarding public order), has pronounced against a eontinuauce of the minor state of siege wliich is usually declared in many Russian cities, finding that it led to the greatest abuses and arbitrariness and furnished a pretext for domiciliary visits and summary arrests, The commission recommends the entire abolition of tlio so- called minor state of siege as a halfway, vexatious measure, clothing the authorities With an unnecessary arbitrary power aud the substitution at times of great public stress of martial law, so as to leave the cities either in a normal condition with the civil authorities in full sway or entirely under conl rol of the militia. Tho recommendation of the committee permitting tiie re-opening of German gymnasia and other schools in the Baltic and other provinces has been greeted with a burst of joy by the Germans. Tho St. Petersburg Zletung, which for a century has been the German organ of Russia, says tho govern ment apparently has finally realized lhat the Germans of the Baltic provinces are none the less loyal for retaining their love for the umi her tongue,, The paper rejoices lhat the teachers of German will no longer be regarded as criminals and that children will not be forced to sneak Into schools by back streets with tlieir books disguised as grocers' parcels in order to obtain an educHtUut.

B5fiV * Tlie naval needs of the empire form tho subjoin of tlie tenth of the series of the London Daily Mall's Empire Lessons. It reads as follows: lt is customary when speaking of the extent of tbe British Empire Lo make some reference to tlie fact that Its area considerably exceels nine ami a half million square miles, nearly oue quarter of tho laud surface of tlie blobe, and tliis usage may perhaps be defended on the ground tliat it affords a cottventlent means of comparison between ourselves and foreign nations. But the defence Is no justification, for no comparison can possess oven tho elementary appearance of completeness which ignores tlie most glorious of all our dominions and, by silence, tacitly consents to its division among the nations of the world. The old simile of tlie chain and its links does nof seem to us to bo particularly applicable to the conditions under which the Empire exists, for while tbe fracture of a link would necessarily render useless the chain of which it was an element, no one would seriously contend tliat the loss of secession of ono state would ruin for ever the whole of tlio British Empire. Indeed, history has one great example to the contrary. Wo would rather liken our dominion lo a gigantic bracelet encircling tbe earth, In whicli are set like splendid Jewels the nations whose allegiance is sworn to tho British flag. A jewel mny drop from the bracelet and although its value and Its brlllance will be impaired, it will remain a bracelet as much as bo- fore; hut what would happen If the golden band In which they were set should bo shattered? The jewels would fall away, separate, helpless, at tho mercy of the llrst person who eared to pick thein up, while the ornament itself would be irretrievably destroyed. It Is precisely the same with the British Empire. The golden band that holds together in one continuous and unbroken whole the hundred scattered states that form our heritage is tlie very part of llio imperial fabric which is most vital to our existence. Robbed of tho dominion of the seas which we held against agressors for two centuries, and which we bave preserved in peace for a hundred years since Trafalgar, the British Empire will fall to pieces in a day. It is tlio all-dominating factor of our corporate life. Out; hundred and twenty-four million square miles of ocean must own tbe undisputed sway of the British Hag. (for the day when our mastery becomes so doubtful as to offer to our jostling rivals any hope of their being able to wrench that sway from us will he the day when wo shall have to defend our rights at tbe breech of tlie twelve-Inch gun. Tlie attainment and maintenance of a position of unassailable superiority at sea should be the first aim of imperial policy. At tbo present moment Uio British fleet, measured simply as a fighting force against its rivals, Is undoubtedly | superior to any two, and not improbably to any three, others combined. But it must he constantly borno in mind that the power of the fleet is always relative to many tilings, not tho least Important of which is the work that would Call upon It In ibe event of war. In war tbe protection of our trado routes will be the first call upon tho British Ileet, and the duly can only be effectively discharged by confining the ships of the enemy to their harbours or smashing them up as soon as they emerge, and to do lhat a considerable fighting superiority is essential, estimated by naval experts at Ilve attacking ships to every three attacked. Thnt is a preponderonce whicli Great Britain has not got now, and our position in threo years' time, when the present programs of new construction bave been completed, will be even worse, for we shall have but fifty battleships to forty- nine of Germany and tlio United States combined, In face of these facts it may appear somewhat strange—to put it mildly— that the British government this year should liave thought it advisable to reduce our naval expenditure by three and a half millions sterling, and to introduce llio smallest program of new construction that has been known in recent years, which provides for only one battleship against two of Germany alone. We have seen two reasons put forward for tliis action on the part of tlio governmenl, one plausible but bad, tho other ominous and equally bad. The flrst is that the lessons of the war In tho far east have not been thoroughly digested, and that It Is better to wait until they have been before embarking on a too ambitious Rtshmno tit' shin- building. Tho danger of Ibis lies lu tbo fact that while tho lessons of the war cannot be learnt by us, at all events, until the war is over, the war may last for some years yet: would it then be contended that we should be 'justified Indefinitely postponing our efforts? Tho course of the war still bristles with difficulties which not inconceivably might shatter tho entente cordiale ami drag us into tbe conflict, and it is a counsel of Insanity that urges us to hold our hand in fhe circumstances. The other reason given for the reduction of our naval expenditure is a far more serious one, but one which, nevertheless, if faced by the empire in tho true imperial spirit that looks back to j many histories leading out of one and forward into many merging into one, Is capable of a solution tliat will do much to bring us nearer the idea] of federation. Tbe defence of tbo empire is an Imperial duty, as much as the defence of each individual nation composing it Is a national duty. Tbe two are not antagonistic; indeed, we aro not sure that the case for an imperial navy Is not stronger when approached from the national point of view than from any other. Would Canada be prepared at this moment to undertake to answer tho naval expansion or the United States ship for ship, as she would surely havo to do if she were Independent of Groat Britain and wished to remain independent? Would Australia, in face of tho Japanese Ileet, lie content with her present microscopic expenditure on naval dpfenco if she bad not tlie whole British navy to depend upon for support? Tho revenue of tho Australian Commonwealth is approximately equal to, and her sea-borne trade double that of Japan, whose normal naval expenditure is three millions. Tbo Dominion of Canada has a revenue equal to that of Portugal, a sea-borne trade double tho value, and enemies far more Insidious. It is not loo much to say that if they wero absolutely independent nations both Australia and Canada would be forced to maintain fleets at least equal to lhat of Japan—or become vassals in each ease of a neighboring power. In the meantime "tbe weary Titan," Great. Britain, Is beginning to feel tho strain of maintaining almost unaided a fleet superior lo any two of hor feverish rivals, and with lhe United States entered as a determined competitor, the outlook is not encouraging. Britain oversea camo splendidly to i the help of the empire In the dark days of a difficult and costly war. Is not tbo prevention of war a task fully as worthy as that of carrying it successfully through? When tbe British navy falls below a standard of undoubted superiority, war will come, and it will be too late then for help. A warship cannot be built in less Uian two years, and a big gun takes almost as long. The situation can only bo met by sustained and determined effort on the part of the Whole of the empire. It Is not Just that the United Kingdom should havo lo hear so enormous a proportion of the burden, aud the time Is coming when she will be unable to face ber rivals as she has done hitherto. Will Britons oversea look indifferently on?

KATES FROM J1,W UP s*WfcW M«LBOT) "Pttwrt*'"" LUMBER CASE_ FINISHED JUDGE, JURY, SPECTATORS, ALIKB WERE WEARIED EVIDENCE OP CALDWELL C1UEK FACTOR IN TRIAL Tbe ense of Campbell and Langford against tlie East Kootenay Lumber company again occupied the whole of an ordinary day's sittings, the jury not retiring to consider their verdict until 5;30 yesterday afternoon. Simon Taylor, bush foreman of the East Kootenay Lumber compnny, was the that witness called by the defence. He slated that he went over the properties of Campbell and Langford last fall, with Caldwell nnd Doran. He is not a skilled scaler, but he estimated that the timber on Campbell's land would average S90O feet to the acre, on Langford's SOW. Cross examined by S. S. Taylor be snld he had 23 years' experience in lumbering. To the foreman of the jury lie snld there ■were still 100 acres of standing Umber on Campbell's land and at least Unit much on Lur Tord's. William Mackenzie, owner of a mill near Cranbrook, deposed that be wns tamillnr With the lands in quesUon. lie luid cut over 6000 trees on the properties during the construction of tbo Crow's Nest railway. Hi- estimated G000 feet to the acre, us a fair average for the timber on both properties. Two weeks ago he laid gone over it more carefully nnd now considered that (1000 feet was an over estimate. To S. S- Taylor un cross examination he said bo spent part of one day in making ills lost estimate. Ho had never offered to take Campbell's timber for B,O00,0OO Ceet. To the jury he wild that thoro was still standing timber on both properties. The next witness was Martin O'Neill, a certificated lumber cruiser nnd scaler. He made an examination of the Campbell and langford lands. From ten sample acres ot each, be found an average of 5.470 feet on Campbell's nnd 5,5-10 feet on Langford's place. On W. Mackenzie's land, which he considered the best In East Kootenay, tho average was about 7500 feet to tlie acre. On cross examination by S. S. Taylor, he said that he made his whole examination In company with Mackenzie, In live hours. He found very little good timber "lying on tho ground. Questioned by the jury, he gave 'ill? feet as the average yield of u tree lu board measure. on Campbell's land, and 822 feet for Langford's. The trees average three logs cacti. He found very few large stumps. With large stumps gnat allowance lind to he made for the churn shape. A. W. McVittie was next called. To W. cdonnld he sold thai he had been ...ng timber Hmlts in British Columbia for six years. When laud Is being purchased from tbe government If It doesn't yield 5000 feet to the acre, it is classified as nnn-tlmbered land. He considered both the Campbell and Lnngford properties, judged by lhe average of tlie 320 acres. were non-timbered lands. On a recent examination he had found the area cut over on Campbell's proporty 12fi acres, on Langford's ll) 1-2 acres. The best acre he found contained 9400 feet of timber. .Mr. Mc- vtuic tlion exhibited and explained to the jury n plan ami ft blue print of the two properties, showing the areas cleared, and fhrrso sllll containing standing timber. Of tbe areas from which timber bad been cut be considered S000 feet to tlie acre a 1'aitr cstinnte for CamnbclVs proporty^ and "bout 8500 for Langford's. From these unnyside NELSON, B. C.

Macdonald then entered parts of the evidence of Campbell and Langford on examination for discovery, S. S. Taylor objecting, hut being overruled. Ait 2:20 W. A. Macdonald began hia argument to the jury. He referred in the long lapse of time during which the plaintiffs bad accepted money und statements- without complaint, and the account had heen considered closed to dale. He severely criticized the conduct of fi, M. Taylor In putting In oa evidence privileged communications, especially when the correspondence looking to a settlement had been Initiated by himself. He drew attention to the agreement of evidence among the former employees of tbe company ns to the scaling. Tbe export evidence offered by tbo claimants wns discussed (ind de- Hcrlbed an biased and the reverse of candid. He emphasized tli0 fnct thnt neither Campbell nor Lnngford had expressed nny dlswitlBfaction until the advent of Doran. Mr. Mjicdonnld'a argument lasted an hour nnd a quarter. S. S. Taylor argued that lhe case waa It anything premature, rather than belated, Blnce the contract hns still live years to run. He submitted Unit the whole question nt Issue was the honesty and correctness of the scnle. The failure of the defendants to put In a scaler of their otfu was explained by the fact that the wages of n scaler would have exceeded the claimants" revenue from the royalty. Ha claimed that tho estimates offered by ttie defendants were entitled to no consideration as against the reiturns nmd« from sidling the ground by experts, lie referred to Koran's asking advice from ,r. F, Armstrong, government agent nt Fort Steele, who wns described ■by the counsel ns a man Justly esteemed throughout ihe district for hia Integrity nnd practical wisdom. Mr. Taylor resented tlie criticism of his course in putting In correspondence ns exldence, on the ground thnt it had am important bearing on the cose. Mr. Taylor's speech took a little over an hour. In summing up Mr. justice Morrison read over the statements of tbe claim and ol- Ihe defence. He started his belief that A. Leltch was an honest nnd honorable man, und the offlcecfl of-tho company probably also honest. He dismissed S. S. Taylor's argument thuit a ten year contract at 52IW a year Implied an admission of 2,000,000 feet. He asked tho jury to weigh carefully Caldwell's evidence on wliich the plaintiffs mainly relied. On the other hand the jury was reminded of the positive statements as to the scaling. In conclusion his lordship snld: "My excuse for so brief and so haphazard a charge Is that I feel complimented In having the assistance of such a jury. I am Ritlafied that you have tlie matter well In hand, and I leave tlie case ln your hands. I will request you to answer those questions: 1. Was the account furnished by the defendants to tbe plaintiffs a correct statement of the amount cut and removed? 2. If not, what was the amount of timber so cut and removed? 3. What damages, if any, are the plaintiffs respectively entitled to recover, in reaped of timber destroyed? Both counsel nsked for modifications In the directions. W. A. Macdonald submitted tlvU the Enst Kootenny Lumber company could not in nny event, be held liable tor a debt, of the Cranbrook Lumber compnny. Tho court held that that might affect a judgment, but not u verdict. i At the request of the foreman of the jury the third question was amended lo road: "Wns any timber left on tlie ground damaged? If so, to what txlentV'* Tho Jury retired at 5.16. NECESSITY OF ADVERTISING Enquiries Come to the Hoard of Trade From Far Ohio Illustrating the necessity of keeping this section more before the eyes of the public than is now tho case is a letter wnlch lui.s recently been received by the board ot trade from one J. A. Wlckersham of tlr- bana, Ohio. Mr. Wiekcrshum says be luis been Inundated with literature respecting the Northwest territories but is In the densest Ignorance us to the capabilities ot British Columbia and wants some few questions answered as to the Advisability of horticulture In this district, In answer to his questions the hoard of trade say that there Is land to bi; had hero either .hy pre-emption which Is practically the same as homosteadtng In the United Stales upon tho iwyment of tv nominal feee for registration. Other lands can be procured from the railway companies from $1 to ?ii an acre, uncleared and can ulso be purchased from the government on somewhat similar terms. The climate In the mountain valleys while nol so mild ns at the const on the wesl slope of the Cascade mountains, is softened by the Chinook or coast winds which prevent any long continued frost. Zero weather Is experienced in the Nelson district during some winters but never lasts over a day or so. In summer time tbo thermometer seldom goes up to yo and the evenings arc Invariably cool. The precipitation averages about 20 Indies yearly and in -fairly distributed throughout the year. As to fruits there is no part of uminii Columbia, where fruits do better than on the benches skirting the mountain lakes and in the valleys generally. Small fruits du especially wcl.l as do also cherries, prunes, plums, apples and pears, and nowhere in Canada Is there a belter mrurket than in the Kootenny-Yuie districts. There are two cities of over 5uoo Inhabitants, Nelson and Rossland, nnd there are numerous mining and lumbering camps, varying from a few bundled to a few thousand In population. New towns are springing Into being every dny. Tho present population of this district Is probably in tlio vicinity of 90,000, taking in Yule and East and West Kootenay.

Slovens*, who was attending the biennial convention of the Brotherhood of Rftllroad Trainmen, as the representative of A. 10. Ellioli lodge, No. 519, B.R.T. The news will come as a painful shock to every rallrond man on the Pacific division of tho C.P.R,, as well as to his many friends oat side the ra i I road service throughout tlie province. "Roddy," ,-is the la'ite D. W. Stevens wns ■popularly known to Ills scores of friends, lived tn Kamloops and w__ on the Karn- loops-Itovelf'toke run. For the past ten years he linn heen chairman of the Joint goneral oom.niIttee ot tno O.R>.C. and B.R.T. for lhe Paclllc division of this caiwlty had rendered In valuable p'rvlcc to his brother railroad men. It Is safe to say that no rallrond man In this province was more generally or genuinely liked and respected thnn the de-con sen. He leaves n widow hi Kamloops to mourn his death, nnd a brother, Charles S. Stevens, the■ present mayor of thnt town. Foi' some time past D. W. Stevens had heen In poor health. Uist winter he went to Arizona to recuperate ami returned fl mouth .ago. apparently ffraetly Improved, As an Indication of the high esteem in which the deceased was held by his fellow railroaders it may be said thnt at the time ho left for Arizona he wns presented with a purse of upwards of juhw .quickly subscribed by the men In the hopes that a thorough change of climate would restore him to his wonleil robust health. A good rnllroad mnn, a loyal sajvant or the C.P.R., a resolute upholder of tbe true principles of unionism aud a faithful friend hns passed away In thn late D, W. Stevens. A. Halkett states than on Wednesday he received a letter from R. Wnlnisle.y of tliis city, who is the Kootenny delegate to the convention, In which lhe writer said that "Rcddy" was doing wonderful work for the Canadians and adding fresh laurels to tlie many already won ns nn able debater. A few days earlier Mr. Halkett had received a letter from D. AV. Stevens personally, In which he said he wns feeling better. WILL CELEBRATE JULY 1 COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO fttAKIS ALL ARRANGEMENTS FLOWER SHOW TO FORM PART OF DAY'S ATTRACTIONS At a public meeting, which wus held last iiignt in tint cny nan at uie van ot llio mayor upon the request of somo ol the leading citizens ut" Nelson, iu order to Bottle upon tin; method of celebrating Dominion Day, tlie following resolution was carried unanimously on the motion ot T. O. Procter, seconded by W. Irvine; "Proposed We hold a' Dominion Day celebration and tliat a flower show be one of tbe features combined wilh tlie usual sports eusioiik'iry on tliat ucenslou in Nelson. Also that three committees of live be appointed by the chair to look after tho flower show, the sports, aud the finance respectively. There was some little discussion pre- ■cedlng the adoption ot tlie motion, which culminated the proceedings of the meeting, in whicli .Messrs. Procter, J. A. .McDonald, Starkey und W, Irvine look the principal part. There were two parties present, ono of which was mainly interested In the Ilowor show and the other favored the usual sports. It was shown, however, that the two objects could lie combined, Tin; llower show need not be an exjienso to tbo celebration, Inasmuch n_ a smalt fee could bu charged as an entrance, which would pi'ol.-ihly dainty ail expeimos, Similarity, although baseball nud lacrosse, wero expensive, yel lliey ulso coat nothing because uf the gate. A llower .show would admit of the small fruits at their best early in July, being exhibited aa they could not be later in the year at the full fair, but at the. same tlmo the llower and fruit show would not form Hi" attraction wliich brought visitors. Some thought iho drilling contests were un at* ruction, and Uu; olilef attraction, others that vi wet test race could not well be omitted. Others again that the children's parade must nut be dropped, neither the regatta. Money had been spent largely upon fireworks in the past and perhaps a saving coulde beaKeoted In tbat direction. The genera] idea was, however, that the tlnance commlUeo should first see what money was availably and after that the program could be arranged accordingly. There wus concensus of opinion that white it Ilowor and fruit show was most lilting and must not bo omitted, yet, equally the custom of Nelson celebrating for the P&st 16 years must not bo dropped. The following arc appointed to the committee on the llower aud fruit show: F. Starkey, O. O. Buchanan, T, Q, Proctor, F. Irvine ami A. D. Emory. Sjjorts committee—J. J. Malone, .1 Kirk Patrick, J. Dover, 13, Brown, F. BoBquel. Finance committee— W. Irvine, G, Bart- lett, J. A. McDonald, J. O. Putonaude, .1. A. Irving. All these gentlemen were present and slguliled their willingness to lake up their duties, and in addition mayor Houston was appointed general chairman of the three committees, ami J. A. Klrkpatrick, secretary-treasurer. The committees will meet lu the elty liall next Friday evening at 8 o'clock to report progress. , _— REMAINS OF FALLEN HEROES The Hague, May 21>-T1hj Dutch papers -publish a gruesome story of the arrival at Amsterdam of a cargo of animal and human bones destined for use In u glue factory.
