TAFT VISIU PANAMA PRES1DEN-ELECT LOOKING OVER CANAL WORK. TRIES TO SOOTH FACTIONAL FEELINGS OF NATIVES. CUUSBRA, Panama, Feb 1—William H. 'i-an, piesident-elect, and the engineers ttiujumpaiiy'.ng him, reached here from Panama today on a special tram ■and mane a 'uetalieij examination of tne 14 miles of the Cutebia cut. The fiact that the existing plans tor the .look and dam at Gatun are saUsfi-actory to the visiting engineers, has created a local feeling of optimism and tears of delay in tho campletnon oE the work have heen relieved. Mr. Taft and the engineers are very much giaitifled at the extent of tlie work accomplished at Culebra. -Mr. Taft this afternoon called upon ex-president Amador, who is ill. Ex- president Amador and president Obal- dia, have not been on friendly terms ■for a long time because of political differences.

Witnout doubt ■the commisssary will continue, although so-called luxuries will lite e.l- ■mllnaied. Mr. Taft has expressed full confidence in tlie judgment of texe- tary Root in the matter.

In a regular old-time game of hockey —lots of goals and lots of penalties- Nelson last night defeated Moyie. The score at the call of time stood 16-U and the total number of penalties was 17. The two teams shared the latter pretty evenly. The Moyle team Is a heavy one and the players use their bodies pretty freeely; they also use their sticks and their feet in tripping. The Nelson team apparently believes in fighting lire with lire and so retaliated with the result that penalties came with regularity. Judging by their showing last night the Moyie team has not had much practice this year. Their team work was weak, while their forwards were uot fast enough to cope with these on tlie Nelson line-up. Comparatively, their defence was much stronger than the forwards and It is due to the good work of Grady in goal and Donahoe at point that the score wns not even larger than It was. Especially in the second half, those two players saved the situation several times. On the other hand, it is only fair to the forwards to say that Harry Bishop did some good work iu goal for Nelson, but he was not called to stop nearly so many as was Grady. Bawlf was undoubtedly the best man on the Moyie forward line. He played good clean hockey throughout and scored two of the three goals counted by the team. To Archie Bishop belongs the credit for scoring half the goals credited to Nelson; He put up n rattling good game throughout, his cork-screw rushes proving a mystery to the visitor's. Frank and Lester Patrick played good effective hockey ami both assisted In the scoring. Joe Thompson was in the game from start to flinlsh while Les Steele showed up to better advantage than In any game this season. He and Thompson may not tully often but they are always busy, as the opposing team can tell to Its cost. Tim Dunne at coverpoint did excellent work. He not only assisted in checking the attacks of the Moyle forwards in the first half, but In the second half he also did good work on the forward line, taking Joe Thompson's place there. It is only fair to both teams to say that the large number of penalties was due as much to the strictness of the referee, R. Bishop, as to any undue roughness on the part of the players. Of course, the referee could not ami did not catch all that went on, but he punished when he did see anything that he thought was not right. In his endeavor to do right he erred at least once at the expense of the Nelson team, Frank Patrick being the victim. Frank gave Clothier of the Moyle team a check Into the rence and Bishop ruled him off under the Impression that he had cross-checked his man. Clothier, it may be said, has the art of tripping and In other ways nagging bis opponents down to a nicety. It is not only In this thitt he Is un artist, but also In dodging tlie eye of the referee and judge of play. There was an Instance of this last night. He had tripped Frank Patrick and .while the letter was down, gave him a couple of jabs in the ribs with the points of his skates. Patrick was up tn a minute and, us tho only way of getting even, he jabbed Clothier ln the face and then, on the invitation of the referee, went to the fence where he was rusticating when the game ended. The line-up was as follows Moyle Nelson Grady Goal H. Bishop Donahoe Point F. Patrick Kelly Coverpoint Dunne Sherman Rover L. Patrick Bawlf Centre A. Bishop Clothier....

STAND BYJHE BILLS CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS REPLY TO ROOSEVELT v SAY ANTI JAPANESE MEASURES MUST STAND. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1.—Gov. Gillett made public last night the text of a letter received yesterday from president Roosevelt with regard to the anti-Jap- aniese legislation now pending in the California legislature. President Roosevelt quotes from a letter ot former secretary of state Root to Gov. Gillett and from a memorandum -pointing out that Mr. Root saw no objection to a law which treated all aliens alike but to avoid conflict with the constitution such statute should contain an expressed provision excepting from its operations any rights secured by treaty between tme United States and foreign nations. Mr. Roosevelt says that this view has his cordial endorsement. President Roosevelt's letter to governor Gillett on the Japanese question ■mi-ade public today, apparently has not converted Grove L. Johnson, author of the bills prohibiting Jaipanese from being members of corporations and providing for their segregation. "It has no more eife&t on me," he said, "than water on a duck's back. I liave not changed my mind in the least about the wisdom of enacting these ■anti-Japanese laws." A. M, Drew, author of the bill prohibiting aliens from holding land in the state, said: "After a cursory reading of the letter I urn deiermlned to stand for the bill ns It has been amended. As to the president's views in this latest letter, I take no exception, ibut 1 do believe that secretary 'Root, in the letter enclosed by the ■president takes an unwarranted stand against all legislation propased against the .lajyanese. 'My object in introducing the land hill, I frankly admit, was to keep the Japanese from getting a foothold In Call torn ia. They are not and should not be allowed to become citizens cf this country and they should not have' the right to property ownership. 'We are (confronted with a serious sitmation In this regard and I shall I maliie every effort to have m«tsuren ipreventlng all alliens 'from ownlng'land passed through the legislature.." The rules were suspended in the house todiay and the Drew bill, prohibiting aliens from owning land in California was received as amended by the author and as passed upon by tlie judiciary committee.

MONTREAL, Feb. 1.—Was there a series of earthquake shocks last night and early this morning? was the question being asked today. The seismograph at McGill university failed to record any one of tlie three shocks felt. but this Is explained by the fact thut the instrument Is an old one and not to be relied upon. The shocks were not registered ut Ottawa or Toronto on instruments which nre up to date and reliable. Nevertheless Montrealers were-nwakened trom their sleep this morning by a jar like that of an explosion. In the newspaper offices down town the shock was not felt and the first known of the earthquake wus when people rang up asking where the explosion was. Queries of this nature came from points threo miles or more apart and all on the upper level of the city, so that the evidence that there were three shocks felt Is conclusive despite t)he lack of corroboration from these seismographs.

The mlnlErter explained that the bill follows the lines of the act passed by the Imperial parliament two years ago. The criminal code provides for tho punishment of agents of the government or municipalities'guilty; of such an offence but the proposed bill -extends the operation of the law to agents of all kinds and -employers. They can be Indicted or proceeded against summarily according to the seriousness of the Charge.

He nlso thought it probably too extensive for a single committee. E. A.

THE COMMON APPLE II KIT SOURCE Of HEALTH The Jules of the Ordinary Apple Is Ons of the Beit Things In the World Far Keeping the Blood Pure. Few people there are but enjoy a ripe, juicy apple. But how many realize that it Is a medicine aa well as a treat? Apple juice has a very marked effect on the kidneys, Increasing their power to throw off tho waste products of the body, called urea, and thus prevent Rheumatism, Sciatica, Neuralgia, and similar troubles that come from poisoned blood. Similarly, other fruits stimulate the action of the liver and bowels—others of tbe skin. Combined, they keep the blood pure—the body clean and healthy. To get this effect, however, one must eat a great deal of fruit, or better, eat a little fruit and take "Fruit- a-tives." "Frult-a-tlves" are tablets In which the juices of ripe fruits, with their medicinal value Intensified, are combined with valuable tonics. They act directly on Bowels, Kidneys and Skin and put them in perfect condition — thus ensuring the thorough ellmln*a- tlon of all waste matter and poisons from the bodv. Trial box 25c.

The subject of senate reform has been brought up at Ottawa by a motion introduced by Hon. R. W. Scott, lata secretary of stale and date government ■leader In the upper house, providing for a change in the constitution of that house. How far the government is prepared to support this measure Is not known, for Mr, Scott made It plain that It was not a government measure. The news that such a subject has been Introduced by a man holding such ia prominent place In his party as does Mr .Scott, will be refreshing to those whose memories take them back to the days when sir WilDrld Uaurler led her majesty's loyal opposition. In those days, denunciation of the senate, coupled with pledges of r*eform In regard to It If the party were returned to power, took up a portion of the time of many liberal speakers when nd- dressing the free and Independent electorate. Judging by the utterances of the liberal leaders at that time, sir Wilfrid Included, the senate, as it then existed, •was absolutely bad and Immediate reform was necessary in the interests of the country. In view of this pre-election at.ltiwle of sir Wilfrid and his leading supporters, when the illiberal party was returned to power on June 23, 1896. the people of Canada looked to see some definite measure of fen-ate reform Introduced forthwith. Nearly 13 years have i>assed since then and no action has yet been taken by the government, unless senator Scott's resolution is to be taken up by it. or course, It Is hardly correct to say that no chanire has taken place ln the senate since 1896. As ta matter of fact sir Wilfrid Ijaurier has practically entirely "reformed" the senate; that is. he -has filled it with reformers, or at least, supporters of what was once the reform party. It would be manifestly unfair to say that many of sir Wilfrid's appointments have not been good ones, but it would not be in keeping with the truth to say that some, at least, of them were calculated to raise the upper chamber in the eyes of. the public. The plan of reform proposed by Mr. Scott Is, roughly apeafclng, that two- thirds of the senate should be elective and one-third appointed by the crown. The term of office of both tlie appointed and elected senators would be eight years. After each change of government (t.he (incoming adimini strut bn (would have the right to -appoint ons senator from each province In order to assure it of a majority In both houses, but It would be provided that the next vacancy among the uppointed members from each province should not be filled, thus reducing -the membership of the senate to its original -figure. Senator Scott proposes that for the purpose of the election of senators, the different provinces- should be divided into districts, while the appointed senators would represent the province, for which they were appointed, at large. The members of the -present house would, according to Mr. Scott's plan, contlnnue to hold offfce. being appointed either for one of the districts or for one of the provinces at large, hut as they died or retired, new ■men would be elected or appointed ln their places for eight years. One of the objections to senator Scott's plan, but'"perhaps It Is one that will arise in connection with any scheme of senate reform, is that the purging of tite'upper house, an opsra- tlon that Is essential to the establishment of public confidence in that -body, must await its accomplishment by death, a process neither pleasant to contemplate nor as expeditious -as the people of Canada desire. While there Is a general -daslre for senate reform, tllianks to some of the appointments made by sir Wilfrid Laurier, the desire for a purging of the senate of men like Hon. Robert Watson. Hon. T. O. Davis and others of like Ilk Is far more general. This Jotter desire Is so widespread that it Is an open question whether the people of this country would not, If cailleld upon tomorrow to vote on tho subject, declare for the abolition of tl\e senate rather than lis reformation. One of the features of the election of senators, as proposed by Mr. Scott, Is the fact t/hat compulsory voting is to be provided for. That is, every perron on the list must vote in the senatorial elections or be punished. While this country as a whole would ■perhaps be g^aitef-ul for any measure of senate refoilm that would through time, if not immediately, tend to make that house a more representative body, there stilil remains the question of Why ■the government did not Introduce this reform on taking office, as It was pledged to -do, instead of leavlns the matter over until lt had that house practically filled with its support-era, whose sinecures it Is bound to protect at all costs. Had such a measure as Is now proposed by (senator Scott been Introduced In 1896. 1t would now have been in efifeet and whatever else the senate might be at the present time it would be a representative body, instead of the resting place, at $2500 per year, of worn-out and discredited liberal politicians. EDITORIAL NOTES. The conservatives of Comox-Atlln have decided to oppose the return of ■Hon. William Templeanan, the man who said during the recent dominion elections that better Wms were as "dead as Julius Caesar." If the electors of Comox-Atlln do their duty, Ml.*. Templeman will indeed be as "ddad a* Julius Caesar," politically, of course, on the evening of polling day. There will bo 12 days between nomination and polling dayB in the big and sparsely Battled leonstHtuency of Comox-Aitlin, in which a bye-election is now being held as ia result of the resignation of Mr. William Sloan to make winy for Hon. William Tcmple- ■man. It Is not so very long sluce a bye-election was held in Kootenay in whioh it was claimed* tiiat B4 days were necessary between nomination and election days in order to comply with the law in the matter of getting (ballot boxes distributed, etc. The striking point about the matter is that Kootenay can be covered in about half the time that it will take to cover Comox-Atlln. Apparently retrenchment is the order of the day at Ottawa. The estimates tabled yesterday show a decrease of *I9,000,000 as compared with "last y*ear and the government has nn- nnounced that there w-llll be no supplementary estimates this year If it can avoid It.

YEAR'S TRIAL PROVES PRACTICABILITY OF PLAN. MONTO-IEAL, Feb. 1—A year's trial of the telephone as a medium of communication in train -despatching has proved Its practicability; railway telegraph men recognize that the aay of •the itcker is past as lar {ts they are concerned and tney are preparing to 'hasten tine change all over the continent of America, In December, 1907 the first installation of the telephone was mode on the New York Central road over a small stretch .between New York and Fonda; ■today the new V^ystem extends over 4900 miles, and by the end of another year will cover 15,000 miles of track in the United States and Canada. In Canada the Canadian Pacific railway took the initiative in the matter and in the latter (part of June put ln the first installation between Montreal and Farnham. "Last summer I predioted that another ten yeans would see the telephone used exclusively for train despatching," said W. J. Camp of the C.P.R. Telegraph company. "Now some railway telegraph superintendnts shorten this term'*to five years, l think that period too short, however, as the cost of installation and operation of the telephone over the tele- gtiiiph is ,so much greater., 'that the smaller side lines will be longer in adopting It. However, our experience Is Uiiat the greater speed which may be secured in transmitting messages, Cully warrants the additional cost." The gi*eat advantage of ths telephone over the telegraph Hej In the speed of transmission which allows for the transaction of a much larger volume of business. The cost of installation ia great, about seven times as much as the Installation of a telegraph connection, from the fact that two copper wires must be installed instead of one Iron wire; tne cost of maintenance is greater and the cost of operation is about the same; but the It.rr: 4 u] facility of operation, especial1- c*.er the congealed portions of the rail',. - are held to justify the change. Where the telephone Is supplanting the telegraph the same operators are used, so that there is no change in this respect. The telephone has also the advantage that the operator may speaik to a trainman direct and not necessar ily through a second operator, a third paitty. It Is -claimed to be just m safe, If not safer than the telegraph. The 'New YorK Central railway was the first company to seek tan improvement on despatching by telegraph and during the year 1907 mode a series of experiments with an independent telephone circuit, before finally making a permanent Installation; The tests were closely watched by other railways of the continent and immediately after the system was adopted ln an ex- perimentai way. At present lt Is in operation over 4000 miles in the United States and Canada; over 6700 other miles of road the cnoetructlon of telephone equipment is authorized and In large part under Ml CHD.IInr»warllTt>i Wt» mm aUt COM lhe Kootenay Ice & fuel Go. »*._%&_%* Unset Diamonds We havo just received a consignment of unset stones which for purity and brilliancy are uesureassas: hy any diamonds which have ever been shown In Nelson.

With the temperature in some portions of the greater city down to zero just before daylight and the official thermometer of the weather bureau registering five degrees above zero, tbe suffering of the homeless ■(luring the night was intense. Two thousand applicants folr toast and coffee were lined up at the Bowery Mission during the night, which was the largest number fed at that ptace this winter. In addition to this, 318 'persons. Including four women, were/ given shelter at the city lodging houses and at the pier of the charities department at the foot of E&:t 26tli street. The street cleaning department had 600 men at work removing the snow during the night but when the cold became intense, tire men suffered so i?reaUy that the work was discontinued WORKS HIS WAY UP.

Marjorle was little more than fifteen and she called it a little less than sixteen; and in keeping with that declaration she teuweptiSdfuflly ilengtnened her skirts so gradually that her unsuspecting mother never noticed It. Also she road "His Heart's Queen" ■with the same circumspect privacy and tortured her tip tilted nose with strenuous massage till she found that her ardor to make It classical merely made it red. In a word, Marjorle was growing up. -Her -present grievance as she looked from her window with a face as dismal H3 the sky, was that her sister Rachel wias to Heave In a few hours to attend a house party In Philadelphia, from which she. forsooth, was excluded by •reason of her tender years. And that horrid Tom 'Norrls who had laughed when she said she was nearly sixteen, was to go with Rachel. Well, the pajpers predicted rain, and she hoped that lt would just pour. It ■was at that point that her thoughts took a turn by undoubted inspiration and she suddenly darted- own stairs 'with an expression from Which the wrath had partially disappeared. She'd show them. A ' few hours later she escorted Rachel to the door. "Good-bye, dear," she said sweetly. "Don't forget your ■umbrella; It's going to rain You two just look like a bride and groom." she added maliciously, as Norrls picked up Rachel's suitcase. She was pleased to observe that Rachel flushed a little. "I sent mine by express," said Tom apologetically. "Pooh! You dfd It on purpose." "Marjorie," said her sister severely. The only response as they departed was a derisive laugh. "She's a little imp sometimes," said Rachel, "but she's growing up. T sup- ipose I was just as bad." When they emerged from the sub- way at 23rd street the rain was falling in a fine, businesslike drlzzzle, that had evidently come to stay. "Oh. dear those ostrich plumes!" walled Rachel. "No, don't put tip the umbrella. The car Is right here. It won't be worth the trouble, and you have the suitcase." A shadow of a smile flickered across his face, which she noted. "I believe you enjoy her horrid joke," she scolded, shaking her head at him, TIiq oar made Its way west with exasperating delays and at last. wiUhtn a block of the ferry houfe it came to a stop with -a sudden jerk of finality. The conductor told the exasperated passengers that the Un*? was blocked somewhere am] that those in a hurry Bia/1 better walk, "Let's make the best of It." siUI 'Rachel. "And blesslnes on that child for reminding me to brim? my umbrella 'When they stepped from the car platform a moment later, Norrls raised the umbrella .hurriedly to prote't her hat. A bewildering Inslant passed before tihey ireallzed -what had haiprennd; tout they were terribly aware of a roar of delighted laughter that hvent un from the damp crowd,- wlhich turned amused -faces on them as If glad of anyfihing cheery on so gloomy a day. ■The ground where they stood had the appearance of a sudden snowfall, fcivery -corner and crevice of their Clothing was white with a slinking shower that continued to patter to tihe ground with every move they made. The rim of Rachel's "merry widow" caught a reaerve suippiy that fell in a -continual stream whether she looked up or down. The curved rim of Tom's derby made up in depth for what it lacked ln area, and contributed Its mite to the seemingless endless supply Tbe crowd was in a second paroxysm of delight hefore the two victims grasped the dreadful truth that lt was rice. "That awfml child," was all Rachel could gasp in her consternation. Clearly it was time for action. Tom seized the single suitcase and wtth the interested crowd making way for them right and left they hurried on. a gleeful crowd of prospective fellow passengers following iu their wake. "Tom!" the girl gasped. "It's perfectly horrid. Oh, if only l .hadn't come, if only I had. that youngster here!" Still attended by a grinning crowd Tom purchased the tickets, and they made the boat with half a minute to spare. Partly from the unwonted exertions and partly from her feelings, Rachel's face was scarlet, seeing which Tom kept his own carefully inifiaeslve. He remained silent as she talked, begging hi iu to brush away the grains from her collar. "Oh, and It's down inside my collar, too," she cried. Then she saw his eyes twinkle and her color flamed up again. „ She congealed into frozen silence. "You're just as honied as Marjorle," she said at last "You enjoyed her mean joke about the suitcase; and you haven't, minded this one bit, and I'm not going to Philadelphia at all I'm going right back home on the next boat." There were angry tears in her eyes as she finished but they were quickly repressed when she saw the other eyes still turned on them from all Quarters ■with interested amusement. "That's better." he said dryly, es he observed the change In expression. "We don't want to give them the Idea that we are making for a divorce court; It's too soon to l>e conventional. You ■aren't supposed to weep for at least a month. Now then.' he went on, calmly unheeding the one withering glance she cast at him when she was sure no on-e was looking, "if you go back the kid will have the joke on you. You can't do a thing to her; and the more angry you are the bettor she will he pleased. Furthermore, my 'dear girl—" "I'm not your dear cash. Adress Jardlne, t(US Hastings street, West Vancouver.
