Discussion on Pugsley Goes
Over by Consent
BUDGET EXPECTED TODAY
CONMEE'S ATTACK ON ONTARIO
WATER RIGHTS SHELVED FOR
A YEAR—RAILWAY COMMIS-
SION THROW8 OUT BRITISH
COLUMBIA'S CASE.
(Western Associated Press,)
. OTTAWA, April 19—The House
spent a busy day and a fairly strenu-
ous day without reaching Mr, Foster's motion regardig the Landry commission which by consent stands over
Hon. Mr. Brodeur Introduced an
amendment to the cold storage act to
enable the government to subsidize
cold storage' warehouses, promoters of
which propose to store particular
lines of produce, dairy or stock, instead of confining subsidies as at
. present to warehouses for products of
all kinds.
Hon. R. L. Borden was informed by
the premier that the waterways treaty
as amended by the United States senate was under consideration but the
government was not able to make any
statement for some time.
'lae House then considered James
■Conmee's Ontario and Michigan power
bill In committee of the whole. The
bill propsed to create power along the
Nipgon and Pigeon rivers and distribute In Ontario and the states. The
Ontario government strenuously opposed the bill on the ground of invasion
of provincial rights. Other members
took the exception that Canadian authority would cease at the boundary.
Mr. Conmee contended that federal
power over water rights and International afflars gave a right to enact
legislation. Proprietary rights, and
legislative rights were seperate things
The province had proprietary and the
Dominion legislative rights.
Tbe minister of justice without com
mittlng himself as to the propriety of
passing the bill .expressed the view
that the Dominion alone had a right
to Incorporate companies of International scope, although he took exception to the declaration that the work
was for the general good of Canada.
The cause could be eliminated and
still federal aid could be granted. The
passing of the bill by the private bills
committee should have weight with
the House.
Mr. Polk, Liberal. South Ontario,
opposed the bill as bartering away
ln perpetuity national resources. The
day Is coming when nil will he granted within the Dominion.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier said he had always deemed it his duty to support
the finding of the private bills committee unless there was a strong reason to the contrary. In this instance
there were strong reasons why the
decision of the committee regarding
the bill should be questioned and reviewed. He agreed with the minister
of Justice regarding the Jurisdiction
of parliament tn this matter but that
was not the point of discussion. There
were points In the bill, he said, which
would effect Ontario legislation tf lt
were proceeded with. The whole dts-
cusBlon had been on expropriation of
water power. The question of expropriation deserved their consideration
for the Ontario government had a policy on this question and in pursuance
of that policy was refusing to give
power to local companies to expropriate. In accordance with his view
of the sacredness of provincial rights
he could not support that feature of
the bill. The situation to him was
.reservation of half power to Canada.
Why not, he said, go further and reserve the whole. The premier1 moved
that the committee rise and report
progress. The bill is thus shelved
this session. The remainder of the
sitting was taken up with discussion
of other private bills and general
business.
At a meeting, of the commons banking and commerce committe Chairman
Miller In reply to a question hy Blaln,
member for Peel, satd there was no
foundation for the Impression abroad
ln Insurance business circles, that the
fnsurance bill would not be proceeded
with this session. At the first meeting of the committee after Mr. Fielding makes tho budget speech, the
minister will move for the appointment of a sub-committee to finally
pass on details of the bill. The committee then heard Mr. Thompson, on
behalf of the Prudential Trust company's bill. A clause fixing the capital stock at fl.500,000, passed without
opposition. Objection was raised to
giving the directors power to change
the head Office at will . was pointed
out by Dr. Sproule that the directors
were Winnipeg and Toronto men, yet
it was proposed to put the head office
in Montreal.
The provision was struck out. A
cluase providing that stock need not
ail be paid up was strongly opposed
but it was pointed out that unpaid
stock In the event of trouble Is additional security as tt can be called upon. The clause passed.'" The real
fight commenced when a clause giving the company power to deal In debentures, receive deposits and do gen*
eral business was reached. Chairman
Miller read the clause which was a
long one and remarked: "I think this
could be shortened simply by stating
that the company may do anything."
The chairman reminded the committee that when the company asking for
a similar or less powers appeared before the committee last year, Mr.
Fielding had ruled that they must
choose as between the powers of
both . The bill was sent to a subcommittee for further consideration."
The railway commission handed out
a judgment refusing the application
of the British Columbia government
for an order of the board to compel
the C. P. R. to reduce freight and
passenger rates in that province. The
application was based on a resolution
of the provincial legislature last session and a case heard at Victoria
some time ago. The province claimed
that the present discrimination in
rates was a violation of the contract
made by the C. P. R. tn 1880. The
company claimed its contract was
with the Dominion and not with the
provincial government,
The labor department is advised
that in the difficulty between the
Briish Columbia copper company and
its men at Greenwood, B. C, the company has nominated Ed. Cronyn, barrister of Toronto, as its representative on the conciliation board. John
Mclnnes, M. P. P., represents the employees. The dispute is as to wages
and hours Involved.
Mr. Fielding in his budget speech
tomorrow Is expected to announce
that when complete returns of revenue for the fiscal year ending March
31 are ln, there will be a small surplus of revenue over ordinary expenditure, The minister of finance is
very reticent regarding the tariff
changes, but if there are any they wilt
be few and unimportant.
The government is expected to dea.
finally with the waterways treaty tn
a few days.
No formal adjoummnet of parliament ts expected to take place before
Friday May 21.
A return tabled today shows that
for two decades, 1888 tol!108, exclusive
of the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk,
Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk
Pacific, charters have been granted
for the construction of 63,809 miles of
railroad in Canada. Of 203 companies
Incorporated onlyl 25 have constructed any portion of the railways authorized and 88 charters have lapsed.
Eighty-eight charters have been given
one extension of time, 42 have received two extension, and 18 three extension or more. Since 1900,' 111
charters have been granted of which
26 have already lapsed.

STRATFORD-ON-AVON, April 19—
It ls understood that the writ for this
constituency will not be tsude for
some time as at liberal headquarters
there is a wish to give "Joe" Martin
plenty of time to impress the electors
The sitting liberal, Capt. M, Klncald
Smith, resigned in order to test public opinion on what he terms the supreme need of national military artnt-
lng, and is running again as a nlnde-
pendent. His hopes of attracting conservative votes are shattered, however, by a unionist candidate stepping
into the field, thus making the fight
a three cornered one, with the possibility of a socLatst being added. The
seat is normally conservative and was
captured by the liberals by a small
majority in the 1906 landslide, so Martin's only hope lies In splitting the nor.-
mat unionist vote, which seems unlikely. The opposition is making use of
a letter of j. D. Layland, Monte creek
who points out that In view of Martin's declaration against Canadian
preference and of the fact that one of
the planks in Martin's last election ln
Canada was reciprocity with the states
there is no place ln British politics

Sunday was a day of great Interest
in connection with the Evangelistic
campaign in Nelson. In the morning
J. A. Thomson accompanied by Rev.
R, N. Powell conducted a sympathetic
service among tue men assembled in
the provincial gaol. At the forenoon
service in the Baptist church Mr.
Pugh took a leading part among the
children.
Several hundreds of men assembled
in the roller rink in the afternoon to
hear J. A. Thomson tell with great
power the wonderful story of his life
and bear witness to the power of
Christ to lift a man out of the depths
The evangelist's appeal as a man to
men, as a worklngman to worklngmen
und as a union man to union men
was direct, homely and urgent. He
was assisted ln the musical part of
the service by Mr. Pugh! who a little
later similarly assisted Dr. Granstaff
in the Baptist church, where a rally
of young people took place afted the
dismission of the Sunday school. Mr.
Pugu's rendering of the favorite song
"The Holy City" was much admired
for its originality and effectiveness.
At this rally Dr. Granstaff spoke on
.the moulding of Christian character.
At the close a large number of the
young people ranged themselves up
as confessing Christ, while Mr. Pugh
prayed for them.
There was a huge gathering In tbe
roller rink in the evening, nearly all
tlte scats being occupied and many
new faces appearing.** Or. Granstaff
gave a powerful address on How to
Become a Chtistlon, illustrating in an
intensely Interesting manner tho view
that tho life of faith could be known
only by trying lt, and not by arguing
about its possibility. No man could
save himself but every man could do
something in order to be saved. Those
who would not Indenture themselves
in the effort to act as Christians
could not become Christians. A deep
and solemn interest pervaded the
meeting, and 'the preacher's argument
and appeal was ably supported hy his
musical colleague.
In the roller rink in the evening the
audience    did  not approach  in  numbers the great assemblage of the previous evening, but such a gathering
on a Monday evening was scarcely to
bo expected.   Dr. Granstaff picked up
the thread of his treatment of how to
become a Christian.   This time he endeavored to show how one might become a better Christian.   A Christian
has to be born-Into the family of the
Heavenly Father, and before that can
be there must be  the willing mind.
Ta become a better    Christian    one
must be ready to go on   doing    the
next thing, and the next thing, and
the next thing.   We can never be supine, but always active.    Difficulties
will be removed as we advance.   To
get  more  light  we  must follow  the
light we have. To get more knowledge
we must use the knowledge we have.
When  we long for    spiritual  power,
are we employing the power already
given  to us?    Disobedience prevents
us from growing as Christians.     Dr.
Broughton tells of a deacon who was
noted for piety at homo and for poker
away from home,   None of us has a
particle of religion more than the religion he lives . It ls one    thing to
sing.a psalm with a smooth tongue,
and another thing to swindle a neighbor with  the same  smooth    tongue.
Hut after you have    swindled    your
neighbor  he  won't  believe    ln   your
psalm singing.   To bo really religious
we  must  be  religious  all   tho   time.
If you are steeped In carnalltv. you
will not graBp spiritual truth.    Christ
ls tho author of eternal salvation to
tlloso who obey  Him.      During   the
service   Mr.   Pugh  Bang as solos  "A
Clean  Heart" and    "Sweet  Will    of
God," with deep tmpresBlveness. After
the singing of the latter Dr. Granstaff
said that he wished to make this an
assurance service.   A clear tltlo gives
assurance and a home-like feeling ln
earthly possessions.   Tho teaching of
the New Teatament gives us the basis
of assurance In religion.    Assurance
does not depend on feelings but on
facts.   God says that He has given us
eternal life and this life is ln ..is Son.
Now if we have received Jesus Christ
we have eternal ife.   Believe that and
never let the devil put a doubt of it
Into your heart . At   the   close   Dr.
Granstaff handed to each of his near-
souvenir card   embodying   this
truth.   There were many expressions
' appreciation   of these   addresses.
Professor     Kllpatrlek     and   Messrs.
Scott and Mustard,   missionaries   to
the settlements on the Arrow lakes
were present.

moat important feature or thu Bltuatfon
ln tho Turkish capital today was the report that Sultan Abdul Humid had abdicated, u causes the greatest excitement in tlm lobbies of parliament, and

WANTS BETTER SERVICE
BOARD OF TRADE ON  LARDO
MAIL CONNECTION
PRESENT SYSTEM IS CAUSE OF
GREAT DELAY
A special meeting of the board of
trade was held (n the board of trade
rooms last night. President Fred A.
Sharkey explained that ane '■meeting-
had been convened for the purpose of
considering a petition from a number
of ibuslness men in Nelson and Lardo
and also a letter from* intermediate
points asking for better mail facilities
along that route.
The secretary, E. K. Beeston. then
read the petition which was as follows:
"We, the undersigned merchnnts,
beg to draw the attention of the board
of trade to the serious delay to malls
and merchandise from the community
for Kaslo, Laroo and other lake points
on account ot the mails being forwarded by the steamer Kaslo. Mails
arriving by the steamer i-vaslo aro distributed ln the evening and -replies
thereby are delayed for 24 hours, as
well as merchandise. We pray thy
board of trade will take the matter up
(immediately with uie authorities al
Ottawaa and have tho mail contract
awarded to the C.P.R. steamer Koj-
kanee which performs the service much
more satisfactorily to the community,
as weli as to intermediate points. Th-;
Kokanee service is such that it will
permit merchants to receive mail In
the early mornng, acknowledge sam-;?
and forward orders the same day thus
avodlng ail the detention under which
we are laboring aat present which
fs a detriment to our business interests.'
Letters from ranchers along the lake
were also read. One pointed out that
a letter mailed on Monday to Nelson
loaves Kokanee on Tuesday morning
is carried to Kaslo and then back to
Nelson the same evening where it arrives too late to be answered until
the following day. Another example
was that a letter sent from Kokanee
to Harrop, which is just across the
lake, If posted on Monday is taken to
Kaslo and then back to Nelson, arriving there late Tuesday evening. Letters from Gerrard pointed out that
fully a day was lost by the present
system, the time taken to write into
Nelson and receive a reply being five
days.
Leslie Hill said that it was Impossible to gain any advantage even by
sending through the Dominion Express
company who do not meet the boat at
Lardo until the evening. A petition
had been sent to the superintendent of
mails at Vancouver some months ago
but tho only result had heen a reply
statfng that the matter would receive
consideration. The chief reason of the
delay to Lardo and similar points was
that the Kaslo carried the mail to
Kaslo where it had to wait until the
next day to be taken on by the Kokanee.
I. G. Nelson, speaking of the advantage to ranchers which would follow a
change sucn as was desired, said tha'
at prtsent many of them were compelled when requiring goods quickly
to send to Kaslo instead of Nelson. In
many cases by sending to Kaslo a day
was saved.
The president mentioned that Lardo
residents could obtain goods more
quickly by sending to Revelstoke than
to Nelson. Mr. Starkey said that he
did not wish it thought that the board
wished to tavor the C.P.R. at the expense of the Great Northern. The important thing was to have a mail service which would do away with the
present waste of time.
It was moved hy Hamilton Byers
and seconded hy T. G. Procter that
this hoard at a special meting convened endorses the petition pr.v
that the attention of the postmaster
general be drawn to the inconvenience
arising from the present delay in the
carrying of mulls between Nelson and
Lardo and intermediate points and also
respectfully asks the postmaster general to anange for a steamer service
upon every day on which mails are carried.
II. E. Douglas pointed out that by
the proposed new arrangement the
mails arriving from the east by both
the C.P.R. and Great Northern would
stay over in Nelson from the night
upon which they arrived until the following afternoon instead of being sent
out, as at present, tne following morning.
After some further discussion the mo
tlon carried unanimously,
Upon a motion for adjournment the
assembled members of the board were
shown over the building previously
used by the sheriff and which is now
moved to a position at the back of the
board of trade rooms. The addition
will be of the greatest convenience to
the board as the former accommodation has been far too limited on the
occasions of large meetings. It is anticipated also that considerable revenue will he derived by the board of
trade through letting the building to
other organizations for meeting purposes. .

The council met at 8 o'clock with .mayor
Selous and aldermen McMorris, Steed,
Kerr, Matthew and Kilhy present. The
minutes of the hist meeting wore read and
adopted.
City engineer Craufurd reported against
any work on Ward street hetween Mill
and Carbonate streets until it Is graded
life, also reported on work done on the
high school grounds and on applications
for water. The report was taken op
clause hy clause,
Tlm reaommendatlon of a ditch below
Hoover street through the high school
grounds to Hendryx street, at a cost Of $m
was laid over, io he taken up again in
drier weather.
Tlie. recommendation to clear Ward
Iptl-eet of hush, and drain away the
water, was adopted.
An application for water connection
from Mr. Nahl was laid over until the
amount of revenue could be learned, the
expenditure, exclusive of digging and fining, helng ilM'i. similar application from
Mrs. Durraugh. Hoover street, was referred to the tire, water and light committee.
A report on the lack "f drainage from
Mrs. Walsh's residence on the corner of
Baker and Hendryx streeta recommended
a drain to the Baker street sewer.
R. A. Brown reported on the application
of major Stewart for Illumination of tho
recreation   grounds  an   follows:
"Pursuant io your Instructions of tho
18th Inst. I carefully estimated Ihe prop-
alble cost of lighting the ball grounds, and
heg to report as  follows:
"Poles not helng desirable on the
grounds makes a system of incandescent
lighting expensive to install and maintain ns the strings of lights could not he
taken down when not lu use, consequently they would only act as a target for
the hall players.
"I bellevo the most practical way t«
permanently illuminate the grounds would
be to install six arc lamps, and so arrange them that they can he easily taker,
down when not in une, or else protect tlte
lamps with a heavy wire guard. The cost
of such a system complete; Including the
transformer,   is   approximately  (360.00."
Tho report an d recommendation was
adopted, on the understanding that the
expenditure he considered as part of the
annual grant Io the agricultural society
An application of E. Tl. Ireland for improvements of the lane between Ward
and Stanley streets south of Innes, Wns
referred to the board  of works.
A letter from [tarry Wright, gold commissioner, asked that Vernon street he

Stanley. The matter was referred to the
mayor   and   the  city  engineer.
L, Craufurd presented his resignation of
the position of city engineer, to date from
the appointment of his successor. Mr.
Craufurd explained that he was resigning
to   accept   another  position.
Tho resignation wns accepted with regret and the city clerk was Instructed to
advertise for an engineer. Applications
to he in hy May 33rd, duties io commence
May 15th.
The finance com mil Ice reported progress in the matter of application for a
cement sidewalk in frunt of Hie. Methodist
church.
The mayor remarked that (he practice
of 'allowing a sidewalk to he destroyed

To Produce Best Results
Flour Must Be Properly Aged
MILLS with insufficient storage capacity are forced to ship
their flour before it is properly aged. Underaged flour
requires expert handling in order to secure even fair results. In
our big warehouses in six different cities we have storage
capacity for 370,000 (98-pound) bags. We are thus able to
store "Purity" F!nur until it is properly aged.
You can never get underaged flour if you always specify
"Purity."

MINES  AND   MINING
By  E. W. Widdowson
Before proceeding with the further
treatment of the concentrates and tailings obtained from 0, stamp mill as described last week. It Ib advisable to
revert to the stani'i mill again, nnd
give further particulars regarding the
collection of the gold there. With this
end In view we this week publish an
article upon amalgamation some of tlie
methods described In lt are suitable
(and are employed) for placer mining
as well as quartz mining. Considerable
losses of gold are frequently found In
the various processes described and It
is proposed to follow this article by
another pointing out the reasons for
their occurring and at the same time
-giving other methods of amalgamation such as tbe arrnstra.
Referring to our correspondence
column, when correspondents send in
samples that require testing It would
he as well for them to let us have
them in the earlier part of the week
so that the work can be done In time
for Sunday's Issue. To Insure prompt
delivery samples should be addressed
to the Mining Department, Dally News.
Nelson, B.C., and should be accompanied by Uie sender's name and address,
for reference, not for publication.
Amalgamation—As stated in the article appearing In last Sunday's Issue
the greater part of the free gold found
In the ore is saved either in the mortar box or on the amlagamated plates
placed outside so that the finely powdered oro (pulp) may flow over them.
It, should have been mentioned also
that In an amalgamation battery there
Is always one and sometimes two of
these plates placed Inside the mortar
box. These plates are placed on at
the back and one at the front, the
former being the most Important.
When the back plate Is used lt is
placed under the space used for feeding the mill and has to be protected
by a projecting lip bo as to prevent
the ore when fed Into the mill from
Bcraplng the amalgam off. With these
plates la operation and the mercury In
the bottom of the mortar box, it is usually found that from 60 to 80 per cent
of the total gold saved Is found Inside
the batteries, whilst the remainder is
found upon -the plates outside. As
mentioned last week the outside or
"apron" plates are usually heavily
plated with silver, having from two to
three ounces of sliver on them to every
square foot. The inside or "battery"
plates are seldom or never plated. In
first dressing the plates it is always
advisable to use quicksilver that has
been used before or somewhat contains
a little gold or silver, this is particularly the case with new plates. If
fresh mercury is used on new plates
a considerable amount of gold is allowed to escape, but as the amalgam
gets richer In gold this gradually)
stops. When fresh mercury ls obtained mlllmen often drop a little gold
amalgam or silver chloride into it so
that It will give good results from the
start. New copper plateB should be
well rubbed over with a strong hot solution of soda, or cyanide of potassium
so as to remove any grease or oil, and
finally washed with water to remove
all traces of the chemicals. The plates
will then be ready to use...
The amalgam is very rarely collected
evenly upon the apron plates, hut form
small ridges, which gradually Increase
ln size and which If not carefully attended to will be Bcoured off by the
action of the sands. When In the opinion of the niillman sufficient amalgam
has been collected he proceeds to clean
and dress the plates. This is done by
nibbing the amalgjam loose with a
wiper which is frequently only a piece
of rubber beltlr-* placed between two
■pieces of wood or else a short stiff
bristled brush. The apron plates are
always cleaned from the bottom to the
top so that no amalgam or quicksilver
will be lost. The plates are cleaned
two or three tlms a day according to
the richness of the ore; in very low
grade ore sometimes only once a day
whilst with rich ore It may be necessary to treat the plates every few
hours. The battery plates are only
cleaned when a general cleanup of the
battery is made, which is about twice
a month. The amalgam ls then in
thick ridges upon them and they are
taken out and scraped. It Is necessary
to stop the mill and hang up the
stamps for this purpose. The crushed
ore Is first taken out to be fed back
Into the mill when It again starts;
then all the amalgam is carefully
scraped from the bottom of the mortar
box, screens and dies. After all the
amalgam is collected it Is strained
through a chamois skin, or a piece of
canvas to remove the excess of mercury; it is then transferred to an iron
pan where it is washed thoroughly to
remove any sand or concentrates that
may be mixed with it, afterwards It is
again strained and rolled into balls
when It Is ready for retorting,
The retorts used for distilling the
mercury from the amalgam are cast
Iron pots, covered by a closely fitting
lid, which  is attached to the pot by
clamps.   On one side of the lid there
Is   a bent pipe screwed in,   through
which the  fumes of the mercury escape to the condenser.   The latter is
an ordinary Iron pipe around which Is
a  larger  pipe  stopped at both  ends
and with un outlet on each side, top
and bottom, so that cold water can be
constantly kept running around the Inner tube and so condense the vapor as
it passes over.   The retort Is first well
rubbed round the Inside with fireclay
to prevent tho gold sticking lo It; the
amalgam Is then broken up and placed
In the retort,   it is advisable not to
pack the amalgam in tight as it will
take longer to retort, and will most
likely retain considerable mercury in
the center of the mass.   The cover Is
now packed with asbestos or fireclay
to prevent the mercury fumes from escaping  and is  tightly clamped  down
and the  retort attached to the condenser.   The retort Is now placed on
the Hre and slowly heated.   It Is kept
nt a low heat, just sufficient to distill
of   the mercury, for about an   hour
when the heat Is gradually increased
to a bright red so as to expell all the
mercury, after this lt ls allowed to cool
slowly.   If the retort is allowed to become red hot too quickly, the liquid
metal inside of it will prove too much
for the retort and will cause it to sag
and entirely ruin it.   As the mercury
Is condensed it is collected In a pall of
water; great care having to be taken
so that the retort Is not allowed to
cool and suck up any of the water Into
the retort for should such a thing happen un  explosion  would occur.    Tlie
pipe and condenser must also be kept
clear and the mercury must not be allowed to collect and block the latter,
for   In that case the retort will   explode.   A stick should occasionally be
run up the condenser pipe so as to
free It from any obstruction.   If proper care is taken none of the fume of
the mercury will escape, hut it Is always  well   to have free and  perfect
ventilation   or  the operator  may  be
salivated by any of the fumes that may
escape.    After the retort has cooled
off    it Is opened and the gold taken
out.   This gold Is In a spongy mass
and it Is called the "sponge,"   This Is
transferred to a graphite crucible and
melted at a very high temperature. As
the sponge is never pure It is necessary to remove all Impurities from the
bullion when melting It. This is done
by adding various fluxes on the top
of the melted gold in the crucible.   In
case any quartz, silica or ganjrae matter Is present a little bicarbonate of
soda   and a little   borax Is   added;
these    two  will also remove    small
quantities of black sand and iron but
should there be any large amount of
iron present sulphur will have to be
added.   Lead is removed hy the addition of some nitre or perchlorlde of
mercury.    The latter ls dangerous to
handle and should only be used by a
man well skilled In the use of lt,   Nitre
will also remove any sulphides and arsenic    that   may be present.    These
fluxes assist In the fusion of gold and
form a slag on the top of It, which has
to be skimmed off before tbe bullion 1b
poured Into an Iron mold which has
been previously greased and warmed
bo that the gold will not stick to lt.
After removing from the mold tiie bul-

IHE HUMAN BODY
Why Many People Never Need a
Doctor.
You have a natural laxative in your
body. Why, then, should you use a
false purgative to move the bowels?
Bile is nature's laxative, It is bile—
and bile alone—which moves the bowels
as they should be moved. The liver is
the storehouse for the bile. The liver
pours forth the bile into tlie bowels,
which stimulates thorn io move, and
thus causes the waste matter to pass
from the body.
Constipation Is a disease, OP the
bowels, but CAUSED by the liver.
When the bowels do not move regularly
and naturally, it is because the liver is
not giving up enough bile, And the
only possible way to cure Constipation,
is to cure the liver.
Calomel, cascara, palts, senna, common pills ami sweet lozenj*erfl and nil
the other purgatives do not act on the
liver at all. They merely irritate and
inflame the bowels.
"Pruit-a-tives" cum Onptlpatlon because they not on the liver. The fruit

and give up enough bile to move the
bowels, while the tonics nnd antiseptics tone up and invigorate tho muscle*,

done a sample should be taken for assaying purposes. This is done either

CORRESPONDENCE
M.M., Kaslo—An "adit" Is a tunnel
run ln on the vein, whilst a "crosscut"
Is a tunnel run through the country
rock to tap the ledge at depth. The
advantages of an adit nre that It draws
the water off from the upper levels
and the vein Ib prospected as the work
proceeds, whilst ore Is frequently
found in the vein that will pay for the
work done. In the case of a crosscut
It Is all dead work until the ledge is
reached and often the vein ls struck at
a point where It Is barren, entailing the
extra work of drifting to the right and
left to find the pay chute. The chief
advantage of n crosscut Is that the
country rock is explored and possibly
other veins may be found in cutting
the formation.
W.P., Salmo, B.C.—We are in receipt of the second sample that you
sent up, though we have been unable
to trace the first one. In the aample

other ore is a quartzlte. carrying copper pyrites and a little bornite (another sulphide of copper.) It would

SAN FRANCISCO, April 19—Miss
Nellie Grant, daughter of Jessie R.
Grant and grand daughter of General
U. S. Grant, and her aunt, Mrs. John
Mason of this city, have been notified
by customs officers that three of the
trunks containing about $30,000 worth
of French gowns and rare laces, which
were seized in New York recently,
were found to be addressed to them.
Miss Grant and Mrs. Mason have, however, informed the customs agents
that tbe baggage was not their prop*
erty and they were unable to throw
any light on the smuggling plot which
Is now being Investigated by the customs officers in New York city. It
was upon tills assurance that the three
trunks held at the New York customs
have been opened and their contents
confiscated.
Miss Grant said: "We returned
from Calcutta last month after a two
yearB' residence abroad and all our
effects were admitted free of duty. We
arrived in New York on the Kroon-
land. Recently Mr. Stratton, the local
collector, communicated with us and
asked whether or not we expected any
delayed baggage. When we told him
we did not he then communicated
with New York. They broke open the
trunks and found them filled with
laces and gowns. The smugglers must

GRAIN TO COME WEST
VANCOUVER WILL NEED ELEVATORS THIS SEASON.
ALBERTA MEN READY TO BUILD
IF C. P. R. DELAYS
VANCOUVER, April IS—City comptroller Baldwin has issued a call for
tenders for city debentures to the
amount of {1,370,000, the bonds being
those authorized by the electors last
January. The bids will be received up
to 4 o'clock on May 31. The deventures
are all 40 year bonds and bear 4 per
cent Interest.
"If the Canadian Pacific railway does
not decide to start the erection of
grain elevators ln Vancouver, tho Alberta grain elevator men will willingly
undertake the task. It has been suggested that temporary facilities for
this season be provided with the Idea
of building an elevator here next year.
In ray opinion this provision wll prove
entirely inadequate as the movement
of the export wheat from Alberta via
Vancouver Is no longer a matter of
conjecture.   It is a certainty."
This was the Important statement
made by P. H. Stron" of Calgary, general manager of the Alberta-Pacific
Elevator company, at the hotel Van-
courer today. He arrived last night
from Victoria where he had been In
consultation with Mr. Whyte, second
vice-president of the C.P.R., in regard
to the question of providing grain
handling facilities ln this city.
"A grain elevator with a capacity of
at least one million bushels should be
completed In Vancouver 'before Octo-
'bei"' of this year when the first westward movement of the wheat begins.
Two or -three years hence an additional
plant of possibly larger capacity will
Ibe needed. The Alberta grain crop
latt year at a low estimate was 30,-
]
000,000 bushels, with one million acres
under cultivation. This year Is normal conditions prevail the grain crop
should total 45,000,000 bushels, of
which 15,000,000 will be wheat. Reports Indicate that 50 per cent will
represent the Increased acreage this
season. In four years, or five years at
the latest, the Alberta grain crop
should approximate at least 100,000,000
bushels. If It were all shipped out of
the country its transportation would
require 100.000 freight cars."
W. W, B. Mclnnes was sworn in this
morning as senior county court judge
of the county of Vancouver by Mr, justice Morrison In the presence of deputy
supreme coure replstrar Dockrlll. The

The Vancouver office of the C.P.R.
Pacific steamers today received notification of another change in the
Bchedule of the white Empresses operating between Vancouver, Yokohama,
Shanghai and Hongkong, which will
give a boat every three .weeks. The
feature of the change, however, Is that
during the spring and summer the
Empresses will all reach Vancouver
on Sundays, this arrangement being
made to enable passengers going to
the United Kingdom to connect with
the Atirint,]c Empresses, which, sail
every Friday. Unde rthe new time
table passengers from the orient will
reach Vancouver on Sunday, giving
them ample time to make the trip
across the continent and catch the Atlantic liners at Quebec the following
Friday.

SHERMAN   IS EXPELLED.
He Is Driven Out of the Socialist Party
of Canada.
CALGARY, April 19.—At a meeting
of the Dominion executive of the Socialist party of Canada here Thursday
the following statement was given out
in the charges laid by the local of
Calgary against F. H. Sherman, member at large, and also his defence:*
"Charges found proven and F. H. Sherman expelled from the party,"
F. Hyatt, local organizer of the
party, was shown the above despatch.
This was the first intimation Mr.
Hyatt had received of the decision.
It was he who had preferred the
charges against Sherman, he said, on
behalf of the association. Sherman
was accused of disloyalty by having
broken the principle that there should
be no political trading, or compromise
with any other party. A candidate
signs a declaration that he will keep
this principle when he joins the party.
Sherman broke faith In his letter to
Hon. W. H. Cushlng during the recent
election. This letter was published in
support of Mr. Cushfng's candidature,
and a great deal of capital made out
of it.
The socialists here state that Sherman's letter was a private one, not Intended for publication. Moreover, the
entire letter was not published, but
only such portions as suited tbe Liberal campaigners. The ultimate object of Sherman's letter was to get a
job for a friend of bis as mine Inspector.
This was at the basis of all Sherman's alleged support of Mr. Cushlng.

BILLIKEN
The 'Blues* Dispeller--The •Crouch' Chaser
There Is only one way to account for the open-armed welcome
tbat has been accorded Billiken wherever he has gone, and that Is
that he has "made good" underthe test and has heen found to unfailingly spread the spirit of Jollity and happiness wherever he goes.
It is a phychologlcal fact that you can't smile and feel blue or
grouchy at the same time, and Billlken's smile Is bo lrreslstably contagious that ybu simply have to smile with him In spite of yourself.
He puts you in a good humor with yourself and everything and
everybody. Brightens you up so that your work becomes a pleasure
and makes everything run smoothly.
Billiken is a little red headed, ivory finished Alabaster figure, 4
inches high and sitting on a throne.
He may not be sold—it would break his spell, but we will loan
him to you for 100 years for a cent and a half per year. But you
must pay ln advance for the 100 years.

SAINT JOAN.
The beatification on Sunday of Joan
oj Arc. the deliverer oi Prance from
the English ln the fifteenth century,
which took place yesterday recalls an
interesting page of history. After saving her country, Joan fell into the
hands of its enemies and at the instigation of the university of Paris
was handed over to the Inquisition and
burned at the stake as a heretic and
sorceress. Twenty-five years later the
sentence of death at the stake was
revoked by the then pope, thus clearing
Joan's name of the charges of heresy
and sorcery on which she had met
death. Now, BOO years after her death
her name has been canonised and she
will hereafter he known as St. Joan.
In other words the church now accepts
unreservedly Joan's divine Inspiration.
There are few more interesting figures in history than Joan of Acr.
Born about 1411, history does not tell
the exact date, of poor parents, Joan
grew to womanhood like other girls of
the age, betimes assisting her mother
and at others watching her father's
flock of sheep. At this time all northern Frence was in the hands of the
English, the infant Henry VI. of England having been proclaimed king of
Prance, a title which Charles, the
dauphin, was making little or no ef-
tort io dispute, preferring to spend
his time hunting and generally enjoying himself than in attempting to secure for himself the throne-to which
he was by right of descent entitled.
Things were In tnis state when Joan
came forward. She had for some time
been convinced that she was destined
to deliver her country from Its foes,
basing this belief on an old prophecy
of Merlin that Prance would be relieved from calamatles thrust upon It by
the depravity of a woman through the
efforts of a virgin. Tlie English claim
to the throne of Prance was based on
the action of queen Isabella in disinheriting her son tlie dauphin Charles
and in acknowledging Henry V. of England as king of France. Joan believed
herself divinely appointed to wipe out
the action of Isabella and place the
crown on the head of Charles where
she, as well as the mass of the French
people, believed it rightfully belonged.
Having convinced her parents of the
divine nature of her mission she' set
out, a sturdy young woman of excellent figure, though by no means beautiful ot face, from her home in the
north of Prance for Chinon, where the
dauphin and his fugitive court were,
attended only by two friends of her
youth.
After much Intercession she saw the
dauphin, surprising everyone by picking him out ot the whole court, thus
giving proof, it was claimed, of her
supernatural powers. After considerable delay during which she had to
undergo many tests, she was allowed
to start out at the head of about 500(1
troops for Orleans, which was being beselged by the English. She was,
however, not absolutely ln command
of this force, two tried generals accompanying her and being actually In
charge of operatonB, The troops nevertheless were looking to Joan's heaven-
inspired leadership for victory rather
than to that of tbe trained generals.
The relief of Orleans they took us a
complete justification of this faith and
the confidence and enthusiasm of the
troops grew with each succeeding victory until the mission upon which Joan
Bet out was accomplished, the crowning at Rheims of tne dauphin Charles
as king of France.
•.-Is, however, was practically the
end of the maiden leader's triumphs.
Shortly after the crowning of Charles
she was wounded in an unsuccessful
attack on Paris, then held by the English, following which Charles withdrew from his attempt to capture that
city and disbanded his array, despite
tne volent protests of Joan. She next
lent her assstance to the duke of Alen-
con with ivarylng sucqess, following
which on her return to Charles' court
sue and her family-, were ennobled1.
She could not, however, remain Idly at
court and went to take part in the de-
rence of Compelgne against the duke
of Burgundy, who was in league with
the English. In a sortie she was captured as a result of her determination
to fight to tho last. This broke the
spell which had existed in regard to
her supernatural powers and even
thOBe who owed everything to her forsook her.
It would have been thought that
Charles would have made some effort
to secure the release of the person to
whose eiforts he owed his crown. He,
however, made no move whatever in
this direction. Instead he allowed
Joan to he sold to the English. At the
Instigation of the university of Paris
she waB placed on trial before the Inquisition on a charge of heresy and
sorcery. She was 'found guilty but
made submission on the scaffold and
was pardoned. She was later, however,
Induced by her gaolers to don the male
attire which she had worn while leading the French troopa. This waa taken
as a recantation and Joan was burned
at the Btake In the streets of Rouen
on May 110, 1431, her fate constituting
an everlasting disgrace to Charles, the
man she had made king. Had there
been a spark of manhood or of gratitude in his make-up he would have
done something to save Joan from her
horrible and undeserved  fate.
In the centuries since her death
there has been more or less discussion as to whether Joan was Inspired.
The Roman Catholic church recently
decided that she was and has given effect to this decision by canonising her
name. No matter what one may believe about this, all will agree that
Joan of Arc is one of the most interesting figures of history nnd one. whose
memory cannot be held in too grea
esteem.
SHOULD BE SUPPORTED
The resolution to be submitted to
the dominion government by the Victoria board of trade asking that a new
dry dock be built at Espuimalt capable
of handling the largest battleship Is
one that should be generally supported. At present the only dock In Canadian waters on the Pacific coast Ib
the present one at Esquimalt, which,
however, is not large enough to accommodate ordinary commercial vessels let alone a battleship.
It was one of the'terms upon which
British Columbia entered cojifedena-i
tlon that a dry dock should be built at
Esquimalt. This agreement was carried out but in doing so provision was
not made for the development in shipbuilding that has since taken place.
The result is that the dry dock ls now
useless, so far as ordinary war vessels are concerned, while iu addition
it is also too small to accommodate
many of the commercial vessels plying to Victoria and Vancouver from
the orient and antipodes. An example
of the latter 1b afforded by something
which happened a few months ago.
One of the big French lines running
from Havre to Victoria, Vnacouver
and Puget Sound, via the orient, deemed to dock and overhaul its vessels
at Esquimalt and * had arrangements
to this end practically completed when
it was found that the dock there
would not accommodate them. The
result Ib that the vessels are now being docked for over haul in Seattle.
Modem, war vessels are much larger
than the vessels owned by this line, so
that the Esquimalt dry dock is absolutely useless for them.
If at any time trouble should occur
on the Pacific requiring the presence
of a British fleet In Canadian waters
tliere would, as matters stand, he no
place at which the vessels comprising
It could be docked for repairs or overhaul, such aa is constantly required
especially in case of hostilities. A
dry dock at Esquimalt, or some other
point on the Pacific coast, capable of
accommodating the largest war vessel, therefore, is a necessity in the
jlnterests of 'imperial defence and
would also serve a useful purpose ln
assisting ln the development of Canadian shipbuilding.
In these days In which there Is bo
much talk of colonial contribution to
the Imperial navy, the resolution of
the Victoria hoard of trade points a
way in which Canada can do something real in this direction and at the
same time serve her own Interests, it
is to be hoped that the dominion government will take action along the
lines suggested, if not at Esquimalt,
at Borne other port on the Pacific, for
the need of a dry dock of the kind suggested cannot but be apparent to all.
It is announcd that the dominion
government is taking sfeps to place
the tuth regiment, garrison artillery,
Victoria and Esquimalt on an effective
footing. The first step In this direction fs the despatch of a number of
modern tleld places which are to replace the antiquated muzzle loaders
wnich have been in use for the past
twenty years or more. The government, lt may be well to remember, is
not acting on its own initiative in this
matter. l*ast year all the officers of
the ne&Dpeat resigned as a protest
against the refusal ot the government
to put the organization on an effective
footing. The result of that action may
be seen In the present course of the
government. Up to the present the
Canadian government has not bean
protecting its own shores at Esquimau
let alone contributing to imperial defence.

Jeanette, Conquerer of Sam McVey,
Now After Champion,
PARIS, April 19.—In the greatest
fight witnessed in France since John
L. Sullivan and Charley drew at Chlt-
tllly in 1888, Joe Jeanette of New
[York Saturday night defeated Sam
McVey of California in the fiftieth
round of a finished fight. A great
crowd witnessed the game exhibition
of heavyweights, the contest lasting
for three hours and a half. McVey
had the better of the fight up to the
fortieth round ,and In both the twenty-
first and twenty-second round he had
the New Yorker so groggy that he
barely could keep on his feet. Jeanette bore the punishment bravely and
recuperated in a wonderful manner.
McVey had almost worn himself out
after forty rounds and by this time
the New York fighter was coming
back. By effective infighting he gradually beat the Callfornlan down and
practically had him knocked out when
the fight ended, McVey's seconds
throwing up tbe sponge. Jeanette was
the favorite ln the betting and the
purse was $6,000.
It is understood that Jeanette now
Intends to issue a challenge to Jack
Johnson for the championship of the
world.

Charles Haverty, an electrician employed at the Granby smelter met with
a painful and what might have been
a fatal accident. He was working on a
pole and in cutting one of the electric
wires leaned a little farther over than
the cross-arm, upon which he was
standing, which would not stand the
strain. The cross-arm turned and his
arm came in contact with one of the
live wires, which were carrying somewhere in the neighborhod of twenty
thousand volts. He was stunned by
the shock and fell to the ground a distance of about twenty feet. His hand
and arm were badly burned, but not
seriously. A peculiarity of his fall was
that on one side of where he fell was
a pile of bricks, while on the other
was rocks. The space between the
two was only two feet, which was soft
earth, and In falling he had the good
fortune to light in this. He is doing as
well as could be expected, but is suffering considerably from the fall.
The repairs to the Granby dam are
now completed and a substantial chute
has been built for the purpose of sending the logs over the dam when the
high water comes. The long flume
which carries water from the dam to
the power house Is now undergoing
repairs under the direction of the
foreman carpenter, George O'Keefe.

a new organization, composed of musicians of this city, is said to have
been unsurpassed. Some eighty-six
couples were ln attendance, and dancing was kept up till three o'clock in
the morning.
The business section of the city
presents a very busy appearance at
present. The new Bonthron building
at the corner of Winnipeg avenue and
First street, is going ahead rapidly,

She says: "Eczema started on one side

felt sore, slmlar to what one feels when

broko out. then the skin cracked in places
and peeled off ln flakes, leaving my face
and nose raw and sore. This condition
re-acted on my general health, and I became very 111, I could get no sleep al
night because of the Irritation and the
pain, and my face was in such a shocking
condition that for two months I did not
go out of the house. 1 applied remedies
'which were supposed to be good for skin
diseases, but in vain. My doctor also
treated me, but -without effect, until one
Uny he said that the only tiling which
would now bo likely to cure me was Zain-
Buk.
"Acting on his advice. 1 procured a supply and found that even the first fe-wi
applications had a soothing effect on the
sores. I left off everything else In favor
of this balm, and applied it liberally every
day to the affected parts. In a remarkably short time considering the obstinate
nature of my disease, wa saw traces of
improvement, which encouraged us to persevere with the Zam-Buk treatment. Zam
Buk reduced the discoloration, then the
hard swelling began lo show traces of
leaving, the sores seemed tn ho less angry, and In ahout three weeks' time most
of the soivs were healing nicely. To cut
a long story short, I continued with tho
Zam-Buk treatment until my face was
cleared completely of all traces of the
troublesome an  rt pa Infill   eczema."
Zam-Buk Is a sure cure for cuts, lacerations, burns, ccezma, ring-worm, poisoned wounds, festering sores, bad le,?, and
all skin Injuries and diseases.   It Is also
a cure for piles. Druggists and Stores
everywhere sell at SOe a box, or post free
from Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, on receipt
of price. You are warned against cheap
and harmful Imitations sometimes represented as "just as good."
