Fort William over the transcontinental
railway.
His reception was most, cordial. Act*
ing Mayor Harvey read an address ot
welcome after which Sir Wilfrid and
party were taken for an automobile.
drive around the city. He expressed
himself as astounded at the great progress of the city since his last visit.
He was entertained at luncheon at 1
o'clock and during the course of his
remarks referred to the centennial
exposition to be held here in 1914 and
promised that the government would
make a grant of $2,500,000 towards it.
The railway companies, provincial government and city have already promised a like amount. During the afternoon a large number of prominent citizens paid their respects to Sir Wilfrid
among them being Premier Roblin.
Large Meeting,
Tonight eight thousand people
crowded into the horse show ampi-
theatre to hear -Sir Wilfrid and the
other ministers accompanying him.
Hundreds were turned away. Sir Wilfrid received a tremendous ovation on
rising to Bpeak, the cheering lasting
tor several minutes..
The premier waB accompanied by
two members of his cabinet, Hon. O.
P. Graham, minister of railways and
Hon. Wm. Pugsley, minister of waterways and canals.
Growth of Winnipeg.
Sir Wilfrid expressed great satlafac
tlon at the tremendous growth of Win*
nlpeg since his last visit, fourteen
years ago, and he claimed for this
remarkable development in the west
some credit for his own administration.
"We might be told," he said "that
providence has made this western
country by giving us good crops and
so forth, but providence does not give
you railway transportation. Transportation of this description is a work
of men. I claim for my government
that we have reduced to the farmer of
the west the cost of transportation by
at least 37 per cent. This has added
so much to his profits, and has been
responsible in some measure for the
prosperity of the west,"
Saskatchewan Navigable.
Sir Wilfrid spoke of increased transportation facilities. "But when we
say we have done bo much," he remarked, "we do not mean it to be understood that we have done everything
that we have nothing more to do and
that we are going to rest on our oars,"
He added that he hoped' to live to see
the day the Saskatchewan river would
he made navigable from the foot of
the Rocky mountains to the city of
Winnipeg and by this means a waterway completed to- the Atlantic seaboard. "I hope to live to see this complete communication," he said. "It
is not a dream; it will some time be
an accomplished fact."
Policy Conciliatory.
Sir Wilfrid vindicated the policy of
Mb government in their treatment of
the western provinces and on being
charged with unfairness toward Manitoba, he expressed a sentiment which,
he said, has animated his life. "If
there is one thing In which I pride myself," he remarked, "it Is that I have
wanted to be fair and Just under all
circumstances. Is there any man in
this audience who can charge me with
over having acted unfairly to anybody? I lay my. own record and my
whole lite before the people and I
think they will say that my policy has
always been the policy ot harmony and
conciliation. I am no longer a young
man; I have not many years to live;
hut when I am in my grave, no man
will be able to say that Laurier haB
favored discord In this land."
He predicted a still greater future
fpr western Canada. "It's past and
present are glorious," he said, "but we
are only on the fringe of what Is to
come. Canada will be recognized all
over the world as one of the greatest
nations of the British empire."

AMALGAMATE
Gold Belt and La Rose
Properties
Combine Eleven Claims
on Sheep Creek
Lardo Silver-Lead
Proposition
An amalgamation of two large
groups of mineral claims on Sheep
creek is understood to be In progress,
which will combine in one group 11
claims. One of the groups Involved
consists of the Gold Belt, Gold Reef,
Gold Pan Fraction, Mountain Lion,
Mountaineer, Golden Hill and Brewery
mineral claims, owned by W. Gosnell,
J. J. Malone and G. H. Colwell of Nelson, and Ed. Peters of Ymir, The
other group, which adjoins, consists of
the LaRose, Vulture, Maple Leaf and
Mayflower mineral claims, held by
Wm. Kennedy, Joseph Leahy, J. Van
Hook and George Young, all of Salmo. Messrs. Peters and Kennedy are
authority for this announcement
Good Showings of Ore.
On the Gold Belt group, the first
important work done was on tne Mountain Lion claim, on the divide between
Sheep and Hidden creeks, about half
a mile north of the. Nugget mine.
About a year ago a shaft was sunk, on
the summit, and the vein was traced
500 feet down the Hidden creek side,
Us width varying from 4 to 20 feet.
Work was done on this vein at the 20
foot width. At a distance of 1500 feet
southwest of where this work was
done, a new fissure has been discovered on the Gold Belt claim, which
has a surface showing of from 4 to
10 feet. It is the intention later on
to open up this vein, and trace it down.
The Gold Belt claim adjoins on the
southwest the Snowdrift and Golden
Eagle claimB of the Sheep Creek Amalgamated, while on the west it adjoins the LaRose group.
Oh the Vulture claim of the LaRose
group, two distinct fissures were found
last fall, an assay of $40 being obtain*
ed from picked samples. Both fissures have now been traced through
the four claims of the group. The
work done has thus far been confined
to prospecting.
The 11 claims in the deal He in the
mineral zone, with the porphyry dyke
running through them on the west, and
the famous Quartz dyke on the east.
The True Flssue Mining & Milling
company, owning the True Fissure
group of mineral claims on the north
fork of Lardo creek, contemplates the
early construction of a tram line and
mill to serve their large low grade
silver-lead property. N. W. Emmens
of Trout lake, the company's engineer,
last week finished surveying for an
aerial tram line from the company's
mine to Trout Lake City, a distance
of four and one-half miles and the
plans and specifications have been
submitted to the builders of trams. G.
F. Park, president of the True Fissure
Mining & Milling company and A. W.
Michaud, director, and the company's
financial agent, are expected to arrive
in about ten days from Cincinnati,
where the company's head offices are
located, to look over the proposition.
The True Fissure group consists of
the True Fissure, Bluebell, Yankee,
Don Fraction and St. Elmo mineral
claims and the company also owns a
mill site of 160 acres on the north fork
of Lardo creek. A tram line to the
mill site was surveyed some time ago,
but now it is contemplated going the
greater distance to Trout Lake City
where the plant would be at transportation.
The company, which is composed of
Cincinnati capitalists, purchased the
mineral claims and mill site three
years ago for cash and since that time
has done considerable development
work. A profitable ore shoot on the
St. Elmo claim is the scene of the
ohlet operations and in the first two
winters some 10 car loads of ore waB
raw-htded out, the returns running
about $60 a ton. This ore shoot shows
a face of galena and grey copper, six
feet wide and on this development
work is now proceeding. The company's authorized capital ls $1,600,000.

BOAT CLUB BOOMING
UNDER NEW REGIME
Interior Association of Boatmen to be
Formed for Regattas at Nelson—
Spokane, Vernon and Moyie
Things are booming at the Nelson
boat club since the new management
has taken over the club. A great effort
Is being made to encourage the young
men of the city to take up this manly
sport. Never before in the history of
the club have so many active members
been seen at the clubhouse and It is a
common sight to see four or five in the
water before 6 a.m. It Ib the aim of the
club to promote this sport and have
things So arranged that the citizens
will be agle to see first class races.
It has been the practice in former
years to send crews- to the coast at
great expense to the club and that item
has been a drain on the finances. As
It is now evident that Spokane, Vernon
and Moyie will have rowing clubs an
interior association will be formed bo
that races will now be possible without
the great expense heretofore entailed.
As tbe course at Nelson Ib one of the
best a great effort will be made to induce some of the best oarsmen in the
Dominion to come here to compete.
Winnipeg haB signified their willingness
to send crews and in view ot their recent great success in England, to bring
such oarsmen here would be regarded a
triumph.
Although many young men have already Joined there-are plenty of others
in Nelson who could spend their time
at the club bouse and on the water
: learning to row and swim. New members should apply at once as the training for the next regatta is ahout to
commence and crews will be made up
this week.
QUEER B00KEEPING
IN NEW WESTMINSTER
Auditor's Report  Discloses   Extraordinary Methods—Alderman Assaults
Auditor—Lost on Tax Sales.
(Special to The Daily News.)
VANCOUVER, July 12.—Auditor M. B.
Cotsworth has presented to the New Westminster council the audit of the city's
boolts, on which he has been working for
several months. Results are of a somewhat setisatlonal character, as they state
that for the past six years many citizens
have been recipients of special favors in
the extension of time for paying bills due
the city, and yet -recelvlnp rebates, it
is stated that tho audit' Snows unauthorized rebates amounting to over $50,000. The
report goes fully into many circumstances
surrounding cases, showing that favor was
undoubtedly given because of pull with
the authorities. It is stated that one ex-
clvlc official had not paid a cent for light
during a period of six years, and only
paid hills the year after the Intention ut
an audit was stated.
Lost on Tax Sales.
The auditor also says that the city lost
fully *30,000 because of the manner In which
the tax sales were conducted In the past
and promises another report on this question which, it Is thought, will bring ont
further sensations. It Is charged that
civic officials were allowed advances In
salaries, and cheques were ofton held back
in the hands of officials for some time.
The sytem of civic accounting and the
manner In which It was maintained Is
said to be loose In the extreme.
, Assaulted the Auditor.
As a result of the report of the auditor,
Cotsworth was this morning assaulted on
the street by Aid. Gllley. The pair met,
and after a few words had been exchanged
Gllley struck Cotsworth on the head.
Cotsworth has sworn out a summons for
the alderman.
SWIMMERS SMOKE
ON LAUNCH HOUSES
May Drop Sparks in Gasoline—Owners
object—Complaint of Crowding—
Bathing Place Proposed.
The suggestion is made that the city
should set aside a bathing place for
youths and hoys at a central spot.
There are complaints that the walks
at Nelson's Venice are crowded with
youths and boys who go there to
swim, often to the inconvenience of
ladies and their escorts. Also that the
boys climb up on the roofs of launch
houses and smoke cigarettes there, a
dangerous practice in view of the
quantities of gasoline In the neighborhood, to say nothing of the dropping
of ashes on passers by and the effect
on the roof itself of having persons
scrambling about upon it. Trespass
of this sort upon private property
should be prevented by the police, It
is contended.
No one wants to deprive the boys
of the opportunity to go for a swim
In this weather and the setting aside
of a special location with a dressing
house, provided by the city, is suggested as a means of enabling them to
enjoy themselves without becoming a
nuisance to others.

Capt. McHarg had to be content with
second place. Last year Sergt Blackburn of Winnipeg won this great prize
with a score of 84, while Capt. Forrest
of Vancouver was third with 83.
Keen Shooting
How much keener shooting is this
year may be gathered from the fact that
in addition to McHarg's possible, the
Canadians today put on two 84s, three
83s, three S2s, two Sis and, ten out of
25 Canadians competing in this match
would hav© come in the prize list last
year. This has not been posted but it
will not be strange if 62s are counted
out.
The Prince of Wales brings forward
the elite of shooting men at Bisloy
for it allows four 80s. No withstanding
this limitation only one of the Canadians shooting was not eligible for tho
•match.
This morning the Canadians shot in
the first, stages of the Alexandra and ol!
the Prince of Wales. Tho former la
open to all comers and counts in the
Grand Aggregate, there being £1000
added prize money hy the National
Rifle association. It consists of two
stages, seven shots each at 200 and
600 yards, the second stage being shot
off early In the afternoon. The Prince
of Wales ts open to holders of National
Rifle association gold, silver and bronze
medals and to medal holders of affiliated associations, including the D.R.A.
It counts In the Grand Aggregate and
consists of two stages, seven shots at
300 yards and ten shots at 600 yards.
The second stage is not shot off till
early in the evening.

REMARKABLE VIEWS
OF EMINENT JUDGE
Urges Death Penalty for Released Con
vict Who Fails to Reform
Himself
"An habitual incorrigible enemy of
society should be solemnly adjudged to
be put to death."
Judge George C. Holt of the United
States district court of New York, made
this statement before the Wisconsin bar
association.
If by his career after being discharged from prison a convict proves himself
a continual menace to society Judge
Holt would impose the death penalty.
"I think society would be justified
In assuming that the time to attempt to
a'eform htm had passed," said the speaker. "Upon his commission of another
crime I would have him tried for what
I think is the greatest crime a man can
foe charged with, that of having become
an habitual and incorrigible enemy of
society.
"X would give him a fair trial. I
would require proof that he had been
an habitual criminal for a long term of
years.   '
Deplored Mob Violence
"I would give him an opportunity to
make a full defence and If finally it
were established by clear proof that the
man was one of those, numbers of
whom exist in modern society,
whose nature had been depraved by a
i life ot undeviating wickedness into that
of a wild beast, Incapable of any substantial Improvement or alteration, such
a man in my opinion should be solemnly
adjudged to be put to death. But If, In
view of the squeamish sentimentality
of this age such a course be deemed
impracticable, I should shut him up for
-life where he could do no more evil
to society."
The jurist said that the tendency to
mob violence and the extent of unpunished crime were the greatest menace
to American society.
Hundreds of thousands of persons
have taken part in lynchlngs In this
country in the last 40 years, according
to the Judge's statistics, and all, he said
were guilty of murder if they acted
wilfully, yet no person has ever been
convicted of murder for taking part in
a lynching.
He estimated that there are one hundred thousand unhanged murderers of
this type, most of whom live in the
southern states. He said that In the
southern states where night riders regulate tobacco cultivation by force, a condition of anarchy prevails. He deplored the number of Black Hand murders
and the number of killings annually by
fast automobile drivers and the weakness of the courts and the police to
punish the guilty,
NEVER   8EIZED  AMERICAN
VESSEL8  IN   LARGE   BAYS
THE HAGUE, July 12 — Continuing
argument before the fisheries tribunal
Charles Warren said that In the treaty
of 1818 it was intended that the word
"bays" should apply to all bays including those whose entrances extended
six miles in width. It would be impossible to fix the line from which the
three mile limit should he measured inasmuch as the limits of the large bays
were not specified in the negotiations
of the treaty ol 1818. Maps were not
used, so nothing was settled concerning the limits of the bays. After the
treaty Great Britain had never seized
American fishing vessels in large bays
at a distance of more than three miles
from the shore and he maintained that
Great Britain was wrong in asserting
that before 1836 Americans had not
fished in certain bays because there
was no mackerel in them. Before that
date the bays abounded with fish of all
kinds. Up to 1905 the right of Americans to fish in large bays at a distance
of three miles from shore had always
been recognized and respected by Great
Britain and her colonies.

AIRSHIP SERVICE
FOR NEW CARIBOO
Proposal    to    Connect    Fort    George
With Points on the Canadian
Pacific Railway.
The following dlBpatch from Victoria
appears in the Montreal Star. Jn Victoria
Itself, however, the papers appear to have
beard nothing of the alleged  enterprise:
Nowhere has the inauguration of passenger airship service been observed with
more practical interest than, in British
Columbia, and more particularly by those
engaged in promoting colonization in New
Cariboo, having Fort George as Us future
capital. The necessity of securing Immediate and convenient transportation to
this new centre of population is acutely
felt and tbe airship is looked upon as of-,
ferlng unique facilities for meeting existing difficulties in the nature of the country to be traversed In securing connection
with established railways.
The building of roads Involves time, and
time saving ls regarded as extra Important
at the present juncture. If airships can be
employed to connect Fort George with
points on the Canadian Pacific railway, a
very obvious difficulty In Cariboo's colonization wilt be solved. A group of capitalists particularly interested has therefore
sent an ugent to Berlin to patronize the
new German agency of communication
and to investigate all Incidental costs in
connection with the possible establishment
of a similar airship service in central
British   Columbia.
If satisfactory arrangements can be
made the inauguration of aerial communication between Fort George and Ashcroit
may be brought about by next spring at
least. The German airship service covers
a route of 300 miles in length and the
dirigible employed Is said to be able to
travel 700 miles without a stop. The speed
on the first trip averaged almost 35 mites
or better than that of the ordinary passenger train on many western railroads. The
lifting capacity was 22 tons, while with :'<>
passengers tho total weight of the load
carried was only five tons and a half, including the restaurant car and other
equipment for the comfort of tbe passengers.
Such an airship might easily be navigated from points on the Canadian Pacific
railway mainland to the Cariboo, the Chilcotin or Fort George. If two or three
stops were made on the way at bases like
Quesnel It would not be necessary to go
more than 100 miles In a single flight en
route from Ashcroft to Fort George and
vice versa.
POLICY OF THE KAI8ER IN
LAND OF PALESTINE
How the  Course  of  Events  Is Summarized in Recent Press
Comments
After the recent visit of the German
emperor's second son to Palestine, the
papers devoted a good deal of space to
the growing influence of Germany in
Syria and L'Oplnlon a new French paper, published an Interesting article on
the subject, which was summarized by
tiie Spectator. The course of events in
Palestine is thus described:
"Twelve years ago Emperor William
proclaimed as the object of his Syrian
ambition the 'pacific co-existence of
Protestantism and the other confessions.' When he visited Palestine in
1 S9S the kaiser found the Christian population alarmed <hy the massacres of
which they had recently been the victims and the Mohammedans uneasy by
fears of European retaliation. The
presence of the German emperor did
something to lessen the fears of both.
Oriental Catholicism was soon startled
by the news that, after long negotiations at Constantinople, the chief Protestant sovereign of the European continent had obtained from the sultan a
site for a Roman Catholic church on
Mount Sion.
Protectorate of Latin Catholics
"The protectorate of Lf.tln Catholics
so long claimed by France had been
given up by the Republican government
and, though some of the races in whose
favor it had been exerted took no notice of tbe change, others accepted the
transfer without hesitation. Until the
date of the imperial visit the German
Roman Catholics had had nothing Jn
Jerusalem beyond an unimportant mission and though various attempts had
been made to give importance to the
'German Protestant congregations, they
had not been attended with much success.
Jerusalem Bishopric
The Jerusalem Bishopric, of which
Great Britain and Prussia were the
joint founders, had come to an end in
1886 and long before that time German
congregations had been set up outside
the bishop's jurisdiction and the German Protestant chnrch in Palestine
had started on a career of Its own.
Frederick William IV had re-established the Bradenburg branch of the Order
of St. John and in 1856 he asked the
.sultan to give him the site of the hospice wind) had'belonged to the order
during the existence of the Latin kingdom in Jerusalem.
Protestant Knights of St. John
"It needed 12 years to gain the necessary consents, for it was not until
,1869 that Abdul Aziz yielded to the persistent demands of the Prussian government. The Protestant Knights were now
in possession of what had been the property of the Roman Catholic order
seven centuries earlier.
"Will the German emperor succeed
to that protectorate of Christians which
seems the only possible substitute for
the protectorate of the Roman Catholic
which France has abandoned? That is
a question which hardly admits of a
positive answer. Why, it may be asked,
should the German government be so
greatly Interested in the progress of
the German colony in Palestine? Two
advantages possibly present themselves
to German minds. One is that If, after
all, the breaking up of the Turkish
empire should not be averted iby the
recent revolution, if the heritage of the
Turks should still have to be scrambled for, It is intelligible that a far sighted ruler may wish to secure a good
start. Or tbe German emperor's desire
for colonies is well known and he may
think, that Palestine has merits from,
this point of view, even if lt remains
in the bands of the present owners."

That's the real test for durability
When your furnace is not in'use, the cool, damp
air in the cellar, coming into contact with the steel or
iron dome and radiator, causes the metal to "sweat."
This "sweat," or moisture, attacks the metal* and
quickly makes it rust. It's an actual "fact that most
furnaces would give
TWICE as many years of
service if they did not
have their long summer
vacations but were in use
continually.
However, the Sunshine furnace is now
equipped with a Nickelled

Nickelled Steel is an exclusive McClary invention. It has been subjected
to the most severe tests 	
and has demonstrated it is absolutely rust-proof. It

Was Not Official Endorsement of President Madriz—Merely Usual Official Cc'l'rtesy
BERLIN, July 12—The foreign office
liar, given tbe Associated Press an authorized statement respecting the letter
of Emperor William to President Madriz of Nicaragua. Reports have reached Berlin that attempts were being
made in America to construe this letter
as an endorsement iby the emperor of
the Madriz party. The statement follows; "Madriz gave notice ot his election upon undertaking the presidency,
to the emperor In the usual written
form. The customary formal reply was
prepared by the foreign office. It was
an authorized letter but was simply
signed by the emperor. The address
''great and good friend" was in accordance with official courtesy. Any Intervention byv Germany tn Nicaraguan affairs neither followed nor is intended
by Germany, and Germany neither
sought nor desired a coaling station.
Rumors of Germany's intentions toward
the Galapagos islands are without foundation as are all suggestions tbat the
German government has in an way
modified the cultivation ot friendly relations toward the United States."
The emperor's letter.iwas dated April
26 and said: "I am informed by your
letter of December ol last year that
your excellency was elected president
of the republic 'by the confidence of
your fellow citizens and your excellency entered upon your most honorable duties on the 21st ot that month."
An expression of the usual diplomatic
good wishes and a desire for the cultivation of good relations between the

GREAT BRITAIN
English Writer   on Public   Order in
Canada—People Are Friends of
Law—The Immigrants.
Frank T. Bullen, with his world-wide experience, Iti a good judge of how the people
ol any country regard the problem of
maintaining "peace, order and good government." In the following paper he
makes some Interesting comparisons between Canada and some other countries :
There Is one fascinating topic arising out
of a fairly wide observation of conditions
in this country which 1 have left until
now, because I wished to make fairly certain of my ground before venturing upun
it. It is that of law—of law In Its incidence upon the minds of the people, in
its associations with morals, with public
well-being In all its bearings, whether or
comfort, security to life and property or
protection from the greed of monopolies.
1 do not know enough of Canadian law,
lawyers and Judges to trace the workings
of the various statutes, but i do know
what the results are, and 1 am filled with
admiration for them,
1 do really believe that in spite of the
immense number of aliens, whose ideas
or right and wrong and Justice between
man and man are inchoate and primitive,
and who continually pour into her that
Canada possesses the most law-abiding
population upon the face of the earth today.
It is no easy task to indoctrinate these
semi-savages from eastern Europe, and especially from southern Italy, with British
conceptions of law, but It Is being done
steadily and continuously by precept and
example, especially in tbe schools. True,
there are now and then cases of serious
crimes, such as murder and shocking assault, among these semi-savages, but even
they do feel a new leaven at work among
them which is sternly repressing such outbursts.
Compared With the States.
Unfortunately It Is impossible to consider this matter tborougniy and give it
the importance which It undoubtedly deserves without drawing comparisons with
the United States. It is one of the most
singular facts of which I have become
cognizant in this country, that while the
manner of speech, idioms, modes of dress,
of living, methods of business, almost
everything in dally life in Canada, are
borrowed from the United States, the line
■is most sharply, definitely drawn at law-
By which I mean contempt, for law,
deliberate flouting of law hy people in
high places, a general opinion that law
and Justice are oppusltes, and that every
man must he a law unto himself, prepared
to enforce what he may consider to be
his rights or revenge his wrongs with a.
lethal weapon, which leads to such extraordinary doings as I see reported in newspapers of wholesale train-robbery nenr
lOgden, Utah, which supports an Immense army of hoboes, or, ns we nail them,
tramps, in the United States, and makes
of the great cities of the great republic,
according to their own newspapers and
magazines, sinks of municipal corruption.
Canada Is- Law-abiding.
Now I will not go so far as to say that
there are no hoboes in Canada, or railway
highwaymen, or cases of municipal corruption, but I find no evidences of them.
I read In the daily press no reports of
such outrages upon society. What is more
strange still, with so much of what at
home we are apt to call grandmotherly
legislation, Involving the creation of new
offences, there Is still so little to occupy
the attention or Judges and magistrates.
I have no statistics to guide me, only
an earnest perusal of the daily newspapers
in tbe cities from tha Atlantic to the
Pacific, but I should not hesitate to say
from my observation of the conditions of
life out here that the administration of
Justice was more cheaply provided for here
than anywhere else In Vis world per head
of the population, exorfpt perhaps New
Zealand,
Canada has no hooligan class, savngeB
ot civilization, such as Infest our great
oities at home in Great Britain. The
corner boy, that bloodthirsty loafer ot
United States cities, knoWB no countermart here. The larrikin of Australia, combining all the detestable qualities of the
first two, Ib entirely unknown. You may
Bearoh Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver, for him In vain, thank God, and I
trust that It may ever be impossible for
any Canadian variety of the villain to
exist. As to why Canada should be thus
favored there may be many theories. 1,
ns a mere visitor, would prefer to let the
native speak on the subject., It ls sufficiently gratifying to me to note the fact to
believe as I do most fervently that lt is
•not only possible but usual for women
who may happen to be out late at night

too, the Egyptian physicians of 3,000
years ago, used fruit juices as a medicine

Their method of mixing fruit juice as a

A well known Canadian physician,
however, perfected a method of utilizing
fruit juices, which is one of the greatest
discoveries of modern medical research.

Alas, It Is only two certain that in our
own land of law and liberty such a thing
Is not possible. Not only so, but every
criminal case tried goes to prove that all
the sentiment of the lower strata of society ls against the law and Its guardians,
the police. I know of no sadder reading
for one who loves his country than that
which tells how witnesses, dragged against
their will to give evidence in criminal
cases, go thereafter In danger of life and
limb. All police testimony at home goes
to show how difficult lt Is to get witnesses
to prove any crime, simply because of the
widespread determination to defeat the
law and to keep the criminal immune from
Justice. And what shameful reading It ls,
too, the frequent report of brutal assaults
Upon the police in the execution of their
duty, the savage mutilation of men whose
office it U to protect the citizen from
violence, and who, it may safely be said,
deserve well of their countrymen for the
Way they do their work. I do not know-
how many times I have read recently of
a policeman being beaten, defaced, almost
overpowered in his efforts to arrest some
savage brute, and some brave woman, at
the com of much pain and Injury to herself, blowing his whistle, and bringing him
help against the cowardly mob.
Front such scondnlous chronicles Canada
is free, and white, I repeat, I do not
understand how It is, what subtle forces
are at work which enable the great Dominion thus to keep a high Ideal of law-

deep root in Canadian politics. But tile
charges are bo puerile, the amounts In

BUMPER RASPBERRY CROP
IN CRESTON  DISTRICT
(Special to The Dally News.)
CRESTON, July 12,—The water In the
famous Kootenay flats at Creston Is going down fast, nnd In n few weeks thousands of tons of good hay will be ready
to cut and many of the local ranchers will
take advantage of this fact nnd will lay
up their winter's hay nt the nominal cost
of simply hauling it from the vast hay
fields, These vast meadows In the immediate vicinity of Creston probably aggregate 20,000 acres. Besides being fnmous
fur growing hay, the Kootenay flats, when
the water has gone down In the early fall,
are great pleasure resorts, as they contain
a perfect network of almost perfectly level
roads, leading to numerous pleasure resorts along the. Kootenay river. One can
drive along these many roads with the tall
grass gently waving on each side of your
conveyance, the sllimce only being broken
by a (lock of wild t^ese or ducks that infest tho many small lakes remaining on
the flats the year around.
Good Sport.
At the many enmping grounds on the
Kootenay river through the Kootenay flats
fish of various kind abound, while partridge, and wild chicken, and wild geese
and ducks odd to the many attractions or
the famous pleasure resorts.
When the shooting season opens;, numerous hunting parties from the various towns
•along the Crow Hoe as far as Calgary
nnd Lethbridge come to Creston In search'
of game, and few of these parties return
tvlthout making n success of their trip.
It ls stated this week that a party or
Calgary business men contemplate comprising a hunting party to Creston in
■September next, when they will spend a
couple of weeks hugging gome nnd Inhaling the fresh breezes from Kootenay

Quarrel—Carried Victim to Hotel
—All Well Known
SWAN LAKE, Man., July 12—A very
serious Bhootlng affray occurred here
this morning In the rooms above the
Echo printing office, as a result -of
which Fred Roskelly, Kenneth Peters
and George Kllborne lie seriously
wounded. Roskelly is perhaps fatally
hurt.
Fusilade of Shots
Kllborne and Bowlerwell were preparing to retire after a lunch, when Roskelly came into the room and he and
Bowlerwell got into a quarrel. Roskelly was forced outside and the door
closed on him. He returned, however,
in a short time with Kenneth Peters
and attacked the door (but they were
met by a fusilade of shots from an automatic revolver In the hands of Bowlerwell. Kenneth Peters was snot in the
thigh, Roskelly in the abdomen and
right arm and groin, and Kllborne's
&rm wag shattered above the elbow.
All Well Known

We would not put our name on these shoes if we did
not know them—know just what is in them—know
what is back of them.
Our immense factory equipment gives us a tremendous advantage in making these shoes. It reduces
factory expenses and enables us to buy material more
cheaply, and to secure more skilled and competent labor.
And the labor counts for much in the making of a perfect shoe. After all it is pretty nearly the same paint
that paints the wagon box that makes the artist's masterpiece. The difference lies in the workmanship—in
the use of the materials—and this is where these shoes
excel—excel in superiority of workmanship. You will
note this in their finished appearance—you will feel it
in the perfect fit—you will detect it in their wearing
quality, and above all in the fact that Ames-Holden
only fit at the first, but "stay fitted

WEDNESDAY,  JULY  13.
DOES    NELSON   WANT    DEVELOPMENT WORK<?
lt may be taken for granted that
everyone wants to see settlers coming
in to people our fertile lands and capital coming in to establish or expand
industries.
Do we want to have anything done
to get settlers and capital, or are we
content to sit down and let them go
elsewhere if nothing happens to bring
this part of the country to their attention?
This is not a question for Nelson
alone. Are the towns and cities of the
Kootenay-Boundary content to sit down
and do nothing- while those who are
competing with ub for settlers and capital are using every means in their
power?   Will that pay?
Is this the position,—that our towns
and cities will be glad to see private
individuals do the work at their own
expense, hut that if private individuals
do nothing, then nothing is to be done;
or if the work done by private individuals is weakened by lack of funds,
nothing is to be done to make up the
deficiency?
Or shall we, by declining to consider
the facts of the situation and the inevitable consequences of inaction,
avoid the necessity of making up our
minds one way or another, and simply
drift along? When people drift they
usually drift downward.
The Dominion government spends
money on immigration work; so does
the C. P. R.fso does the Q. N, R. Is
that bad business? It seems to The
Daily News that as matters are nowadays a city or district in a new country looking for settlers and capital is
no more justified in doing nothing to
get them than a private business firm
would be justified in doing nothing to
sell its goods.
It is of course not enough to make
an appropriation unless the money is
to be spent efficiently and effectively.
It is better to keep our money in our
pockets and'accomplish little than to
throw it away and accomplish little.
To get the best results in the present
ease there should be united action on
the part of the whole Kootenay. Surely it is obvious that no part of the
Kootenay has so much superfluous
money to spend in this way that it can
afford the waste, the loss of effectiveness and the needless duplication of
machinery that comes from scattered
individual effort.
The Kootenay should have a development league representing the settlers and outlying districts as well as
\he towns possessing boards of trade,
and giving to all of these a voice In
the election of officers and the management of affairs. In such an organization the city might well take
part. It would be fair and reasonable
for tbe city to make a substantial con*
tribution to the work of development
that would be carried on by Buch an
organizattlon so formed as to afford a
guarantee of efficiency   and effectivp-

IMMIGRATION ACTS AND IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS.
Every once in a while reports come
of stupid and offensive treatment of
pasaengers from Canada to the United
States by United States immigration
officials. We seem to be no better
ourselves for quite as frequently come
similar reports of similar conduct on
the part of Canadian officials towards
persons coming into Canada, notably
at seaports.
probably the reason is the same in
loth cases. Appointments are too frequently made as a matter of political
patronage rather than because ot per
tonal fitness for the office. Govern-
are thereby brought   into din*
credit through the action of officials
who lack the good judgment and tact
they should hav e in order to discharge
properly the functions with which
they are entrusted.
Some of the questions provided to
be asked by our immigration regulations are rather ridiculous,—"Were
yo u ever in Jail," for instance. Of
course the man who has been is likely to say he has not. If he Ib truthful
enough to own up he is probably more
desirable than his fellow who denies
the fact. Sensible people of course do
not regard necessary questions as offensive any more than in the case of
a census taker, but all people are not
always sensible. Generally speaking
the regulations are good and should
be maintained and strictly enforced.
But evidently a good deal in their enforcement must depend upon the good
judgment and good manners of tbe official in charge and there is a certain
type of person who is exceedingly apt
to become puffed up when dreBBed in
a little authority, and when puffed up
to become obnoxious. All such officials should be eliminated as speedily
as possible.

• Rival to National League.
. PITTSBURG, July 12—According to
rumors which have been quietly circulated for several days and which
find their way into print, this afternoon, negotiations are effected for the
sale of a well known park in the Belle-
field district here to a syndicate which
is said to contemplate organizing a
baseball team as rivals to tbe National
League club here.
The rumors connect the name of
President Ben Johnson of the American league with the reported deal. In
view, however, of the understanding
that the American league club could
not invade Pittsburg without violating
the rules of the National baseball commission, the outcome of the reported
negotiations Ib a matter of keen interest and conjecture.
Baptist Negroes Approve.
WASHINGTON, July 12—One of the
indications of the sentiment against
the Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures was
evidenced today when a religious organization representing 20,000 Baptist
negroes in Washington publicly commended the district commissioners for
barring the fight pictures here.

Cranbrook Wins Second Victory Over
Nelson by Narrow Margin—
Pitchers' Battle
(Special to The Daily News.)
CRANBROOK, July 12 — The hall
game this evening resolved itself into a
pitchers' battle and ended In two for
Cranbrook and one for Nelson. There
was none of the disorder and ragged-
ness of last evening's play, Jim Bates
giving excellent decisions as umpire.
Cranbrook got one over in the first innings and from that until the seventh
.it was that lonely one for Cranbrook
and nothing doing for Nelson. In the
seventh Cranbrook scored again and
Nelson made its only run in the first
of the ninth, leaving the 2-1 for the
home team, without being required to
play the last innings.
Pitched Good Ball
Keene pitched good hall for Nelson,
though the Cranbrook lads found him
three times for the once that Nelson
men could find Mulloy. He is not yet
*19 years old and recently pitched for
Gonzaga college, Spokane, of which
he is a graduate, against the Spokane
professional team and allowed them
only three hits. He showed this evening that he Is away beyond the average
of pitchers and will, likely enough be
picked up hy one of the big leagues.
The same will be the natural course
for Mulligan, another Gonzaga boy, now-
playing high class hall for Cranbrook.
It is only fair to Keene to say he had
not the support tbat Mulloy had in the
field. It was a splendid game, about
the best ever seen in Cranbrook but tbe
better team won, and it was team work
did it.

NEW YORK, July 12—Jim Corbett
threw some interesting side lights on

dozen Johnsons before July 4, but that
worry over several things cauBed his
defeat. Corbett said that Jeffries worried over the stopping of the fight by
Gov. Gillett and he feared constantly
ever the news that his friends were
betting all their money on him and
also the fact that Billy Delaney, his old
manager, was going to aid Johnson.

Corbett, speaking of the final rub
down before tbe fight said. "I have
seen many a fellow who was all in before a fight but never one to compare
with Jeffries. We found our room all
right and the big fellow Btrlpped for
a rub down. Roger Cornell, the greatest rubber in the world, and one of

Talks lo the Buiineis Men of Nelion
The following is the first of a series of pamphlets entitled "Burning Subject," issued by tbe Fire Insurance
Committee of the National Association of Credit Men of
New York.    It will interest you, no doubt—read it.
To you as a fair minded business man, I desire to put two
simple questions which In self-interest you cannot put off answering.
Is our property so Insured that in case of Its destruction
by fire you could pay dollar for dollar to your creditors?
Again, in case of fire up°n your premises would your savings, perhaps of a lifetime be safeguarded by enough and sound
Insurance to keep them intact?
If you cannot give me an emphatic "yes" as your answer,
then you are taking longer chances than anyone has aright to
take.
With the hazard of fire always present, not to mention
the hazard of conflagration— with property losses In the United
States steadily mounting, hav inS averaged during five years ending December 31, 1907, $250,°00,000 annually, almost $690,000
dally, does it speak well for the common sense and honor of the
American retail merchant tha t a credit man for one of the largest
hardware houses In the Ian d can say that "of the great number
of property statements coming under his observation, not one
in fifty shows that the trader is carrying sufficient insurance."
It may he that you, II ke hundreds ot other business men,
consider yourself comparatively free from danger of fire loss,
because, perchance, your to wa or city has thus far escaped a
scorching; a fact that Is mor © likely due to good fortune than to
any inherent advantages, for conditions similar to those all
about you have contributed again and again to widespread and
disastrous fires.
You owe it to yourself, y our family and your creditors to
surround your business with safeguards that will reduce to a
minimum your chances of being embarrassed by a fire whloh
may begin in your premise s, or perhaps In the premises of a
fellow townsman several blocks away. This means not only Insurance but adequate insurance* **\
In most lines, stocks are larger in certain periods ot the
year than in others, so with changes in the value of your
Btock, do not overlook chan King the amount of your insurance.
To take a chance with yo«r Insurance is not business, it is
just as important to charge Into the selling price of your goods
the cost of insurance as rent or interest or taxes.
No one can afford to se 11 you on time or lend you money if
j you are not fully Insured, for your ability to pay when the debt
Is due would be destroyed by fire and your creditors in that
case would find that they had been your insurers without the
compensation which a prud ent insurance company would have
charged for the service.
I am not writing as an Insurance man but as a business man.
My only interest so far as insuring companies are concerned Is
that they be strong enough to meet their losses and that they
sell insurance at a fair price.
My purpose 1b to see my customers protected against disaster. That's why this leaflet is written and that is why it is to
he followed by others whic h will point out some other matters
on insurance almost as impo -tant as that you fully insure. Perhaps you will be able to handle your insurance more under-
standingly after you have re ad them,
insure, and do It now—otherwise your assets today may be
cinders tomorrow.
Are vou fully insured? 'Are your policies properly
written? Are the companies now carrying your risk able
to pay up promptly in case of loss ? If in doubt about all
this, see us, We represent none but the best companies.
We know the business—have been at it all our lives.

HOUSE OF COMMONS ADOPTS
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE BILL
Second Reading Passed by Large Ma-
jority—Bill Then Shelved Until
Next Year.
LONDON, July 12—The   house   of
commons tonight passed   the second
reading of the Woman's Suffrage bill
by a vote of 299 to 190.   The bill provides for the granting of the parliamentary franchise to women who are
possessed of the proper qualification
and who already exercise the franchise
in municipal elections.
Impetus to Movement.
The unexpected large majority gives
an Important Impetus to woman Buff-
rage, but many obstacles must yet be
overcome before the principle is realized. The house subsequently referred the bill to a committee of the
whole which means that the bill will
be shelved until tbe next year. The
interesting 'debate showed that many
leading men, Including Winston
Spencer Churchill and A. J. Balfour,
who favor the principles of women's
suffrage, objected to the present measure and contended the whole country
must pronounce unreservedly In favor
of woman's suffrage before parliament
sanctioned' such a change In the constitution.
Leaders' Speeches.
Premier Asqulth In a strong speech
against the bill declared that if women had a vote they must Inevitably
have seats In parliament and might
take tbe speaker's chair or sit in the
cabinet.
Chancellor Lloyd-George, ns a strong
supporter of woman suffrage said that
if the promoters of the bill would promise to re-introduce the hill in an acceptable form, he would support it.
Austen Chamberlain opposed woman
suffrage In any shape or form.
A great crowd of suffragists awaited
the result of the vote outside the
house, but there was no disorder.

Hon. Charles Rolles Dashed to Death
in Presence of Large Crowd of
Spectators
BOURNEMOUTH, England, July 12—
The first flying tournament In England
was brought to a tragic end by the
death of the most popular British aviator, the Hon. Charles S. Holies, third
son of Lord Llangatock. In the presence of a great company of spectators,
a majority of whom were ladles and
children and many personal friends of
the young aviator, the biplane on which
he was flying suddenly dropped with
terrific speed from a height of 100 feet.
It struck the ground close to the crowd
smashing it to a tangled mass and
before the doctors and assistants could
reach the spot Rolles was dead.
The event In which Rolles was competing was for a prize for the aviator
alighting nearest a given mark. The
mark was directly in front of the grand
stand where the spectators were massed. He had risen to a good height,
then shut off his motor and was gliding in a broad circle towards the mark.
Without warning the tall of the biplane
snapped off* The machine gave a sudden lurch and the frame work crumpled
up In the air. When it struck the
ground lt was smashed to splinters. The
doctors found that Rolles had a fractured skull. The wrecked machine surrounded the body so that there was dif*
ficulty in extricating him. Immediately after the result of the Holies accident the committee announced that
flying was suspended for the day.
DOWNING STREET WILL
INVESTIGATE  IMMIGRATION  LAWS
LONDON, July 12.—In the commons today, Colonel Seeley, under 'Secretary ot
state for the colonies, said he would open
communications with the Canadian government In regard to Immigration regulations.
VICTORIA BONDS LISTED.
LONDON, July 12-City of Victoria
£159,800, four per cent debentures
have been lilted on the London stock
exchange.
The High school valedictory on Monday evening was a consummation and
a revelation.   Some sixty bright boys
and girls met along with a few older
friends for the purpose of telling the
retiring principal   of the   school, C.
McLean Fraser, what they thought of
him and of giving to one another a
glimpse of the hopes which they cher-
iBh for one another In the future.   It
was a mingling of the beauty   and
glory of sunset and-dawn like that
which can sometimes   be   witnessed
from the deck of a ship in mid ocean
at midsummer.   The gladness of their
young lives waB for the moment subdued hy the sense that this was a high
and solemn moment    Those who had
worked so cheerily   together   might
never all meet on earth again. Thence*
forth however high they might climb
they would for the most   part climb
apart.    It waB not surprising that one
veteran confessed that all through the
evening he had had tears in his eyes
and the softening of his voice as he
told of his old teachers gave pathos
to his testimony.   There was the revelation throughout of the steady fruitful influence of a quiet strong man's
personality.      Seven years had gone
since Mr. Fraser had begun his work
in  Nelson High  school.    More than
two hundred boys and girls had passed through his hands.     The   former
pupils had Joined with the present to
show him  honor.     As one  speaker
said, Mr. Fraser   had   hy his work
gained prestige for the school    and
bad established a tradition the lustre
of which was not likely to pass away.
Brilliant Promise.
The program was sustained by the
pupils and beyond doubt gave evidence
of brilliant promise. There was a class
history   narrated by MIbb Edith Mid-
dleton happily recording many notable
events.  There waB a class prophecy in
which R. M, Ferguson   with   fertile
humorous invention forecast the careers of those now leaving the school.
There was a cIbbb poem in which Miss
Adeline Lobb  touched with  graceful
facility on the characteristics of many
class mates. And there was a valedictory by Miss Mary Rutherford through
which the ideal gleamed with sweet-
nesB   and   charm.    Songs   and   instrumental music at intervals lightened the program.     Then Ernest   Matthews came forward and read from a
beautifully  illustrated manuscript  an
address of warm acknowledgment   of
the principal's services   and abruptly
pressed It into his hands along with
a well-filled purse containing the gifts
of many friends.
' Principal Replies.
It was difficult for Mr. Fraser to
reply, but as he gradually gained
command of his thoughts and his voice
he allowed himself to show something of hlB high and noble conception of the teacher's life and influence.
Mr. Fraser is not one of those who
wears the heart upon the sleeve. He
said Just enough to show what was in
his heart and one felt that the hearts
of his pupils were beating in grateful
unison with his own. Happy iB the
city that can enjoy the services of such
a man for seven years. And happy
are the boys and girls who will carry
his image in. their memories all
through their Uvea. It is not alone as
a teacher in the formal sense that Mr.
FraBer has done his work. He has
spared no pains to associate himself
with his pupils in helpful ways. The
school publication, the Mountaineer,
the vigorous literary society, the re-
flectoscope, lectureB, the sports, the
improvement of the grounds, and
many other things have owed much to
his inspiration and wise guidance. He
has made no fuss, hut he has given
tone to a school. He haB never advertised himself, but he has made boys
and girls wish to be like him in the
best features of his character. If they
have not got a basts from which to
make a good start in life it will not
be due to any dullness or inefficiency
on his part.
Brief  Addresses.
Some brief addresses followed.   Dr.
E. C. Arthur expressed the pride he felt
in the high position and vital spirit
of the High school.   Dr. J. T. Ferguson on behalf ot the parents   ot the
pupils spoke warmly of the modesty,
klndneBs and competence of the retiring principal.   R. G. Joy in a singularly happy vein expressed for the school
trustees their high appreciation of his
work.   The principal of course was the
hero of the evening, but the work of
other members of the staff was not
forgotten.    Then  came refreshments
and an hour of dancing and conversation and then the inevitable break-up.
Bert Ferguson presided throughout tn
his usual unobtrusively efficient manner.     One recalled at the close   the
graceful lines of the school poetess:
They pass, they fade, they melt away
Among the twilight shadows gray.
They vanish from within our ken,
No longer boys and girls, but men
And women, fitted for the strife
Of minds and hands tbe world calls
life.
And shall we know them then no more
And must their influence he o'er?
O, far from finished! just begun
The work which they in us have done
And we have done in them, we hope,
For, through the fancy's telescope
Far in the future we can see
How large a thing that work may be.
The Address.
The following ls a copy of the address presented to Mr. Fraser:
C. McLean Fraser, Esq., M. A.
Dear Mr. FraBer,—Goethe hat said,
"Where there is much, light there ls
much shade,'' and It la with the deepest regret that we have learned of
your decision to resign as our principal. We feel that Nelson Ib losing
thereby a helpful cltiien, tho   Nelaon
High school a most efficient teacher, '
the teachers a good companion and
director, and all of us a sincere personal friend.     The loss is one   that
cannot soon he made good.
In the seven years during which you
have worked with us, your efforts have
gone far towards pucing the school
in its present excellent position. In
the class room, your work has been
made bright, interesting and profitable. Tou have inspired us to and
guided us in tbe acquisition of a more
developed life. You have developed
powers in us of which we were almost
unconscious. Your patience with and
unselfish interest in us can never be
forgotten. You have given us your
time, your energy and your sympathy.
You have opened for ub the great
treasure houses of thought; you have
inspired ub to enter and make part of
that rich treasure of thought, sentiment, spirit our very own. May we
be worthy of the toil of brains and
heart expended on us.
Many of your pupils, who in times
past profited largely from all you so
efficiently taught are today in many
places working out their destinies the
better for leBsons in thought and character learned from you.
But while many are far distant,
some remain to wish you "good-bye,*
These, one and all, wish you to feel
that they are speaking not only for
themselves but also for their absent
associates In. the school comradeship
of former days.
Will you kindly accept this address
and accompanying gift as a slight
token of the esteem and good wishes
of your pupils of the Nelson High
school.

The firing of the Alexandra concluded
the matches in the all comers aggregate, the prize list of which will be
posted today. The handsome trohpy was
won by Sergt Richardson of Victoria
last year with a score of 167 ont of n
possible of 175. This year 167 will he
far down the list, tn fact so phenomenal has the shooting been that lt is
doubtful if 167 will be numbered among
the 50 who will receive the National
Rifle association bronze badges. There
are no less than three Canadians with
scores of 171 ont of a possible 175. Pte.
Steele, Capt. Crowe and Sergt Richardson that of Pte. Steele being best
as he 'has 69 at the COO yard range.
Steele will certainly (be .well up in this
aggregate If he does not win lt, for lie
finished 36th in the Stock Exchange
and 10th in the Alexandra. Last year
when Sergt Richardson won he was
54th in the Alexandra and 13th in the
Stock Exchange. In addition to the
three Canadians mentioned above there
are four others with scores better than
last year's winning scores.
Stock Exchange
The Stock Exchange shot for on Saturday, being seven shots at 200, 500
and 600 yards, concurrently with that
for the Daily Graphic and Daily Telegraph, was won by Armory Sergt, Martin ot the 9th Highland Light Infantry,
and Major Varlcy of the Hon. Artillery
company was second. It was another
triumph for the Ross rifle, this weapon
being used by both men.
Col, Paine, commandant of the Australian team, at the meeting of representatives of the colonial and mother
country' teams, pointed out that 'owing
to the distance they could not undertake to Bend a team every year to Bisley. He suggested that it was time a
British 'team visited Australia.! Lord
Cheylesmore, on behalf of the Natlonnl
Rifle association, promised to do what
he could. He suggested that the Commonwealth council ot the rifle associations of Australia request that the next
match for the Empire trophy which is
presented toy Itself, he held at such
place as would enable British and Australian teams to compete. Col. Paine
expressed a hope that Canada would
send a team to Australia In 1911 or 1912
it the Australian team could not come
to Bisley.

FEW ELEPHANTS
NOW IN AFRICA
Process of Extermination—Ivory Hunters and Big Game Men—
Not Useful.
A dispatch from Pretoria says:
Ever since the white man and his
native allies have been killing off the
elephant there has been discussion of
means of preserving the big beast from
extinction. The discussion has concerned the African elephant chiefly,
because tbe Indian elephant through
hard work as a helper of mankind, has
become a valuable member of society
and has practically saved himself; but
the big fellow of the African veldt has
merely hasked In the sunshine, played in the pools, tramped down the
early settler's corn and been such a
nuisance and an idler that he has been
conBiderd a good target for ivory hunters' guns.
When the Dutch landed at Cape
Town about 250 years ago his evil
days began. At that time one of the
early governors reported that there
were bo many elephants that they were
a menace to the farmer and the settler. Hunting was encouraged and
some remarkable bags were reported.
It is recorded thtt hunting parties
would some days kill as many as fifty
of the big brutes. There must have
been something of a chance for the
elephant in those days of crude firearms, for even with modern firearms
an elephant hunt is not a sport for
the novice.
One of the old-time hunters left an
especially interesting record for daring
and skill. It was a trick with him to
call attention, according to the stories
that are told of his prowess to some
fine big old hull in a herd, make a
chalk mark on him and then kill him.
Objected to Being Chalked.
The wages that this hunter made
with tenderfeet, It is said, kept him
In gin and tobacco until be happened
to run across a lively old brute that
objected to being chalked and plugged
with lead to adorn a hunter's tale.
ThiB old hero of the herd turned on
the great hunter, tusked him and
trampled him until there was not an
unbroken bone in bis body.
Jacobus Botha, ancestor of one of
the Boer leaders in the war against
England, was famous as an elephant
hunter. He used to kill four or five
elephants a day and in this way laid
the foundation of quite a respectable
South African fortune. A historian that
wandered along the African coast at
that time reported that Botha killed
22 elephants on two different occca-
slonB, and that he shot as many as 13
elephants in a day. Some one who
knew Botha declared that it was doubtful if he ever said such a thing, and
suggested that some one else told the
story for him In order to see how
great a tale that historian would believe.
Oswell, who was one of the greatest
African hunters of Livingstone's time,
relates that in one of his expeditions
he saw 400 elephants in one herd. "As
far as tbe eye could reach in a fairly
open country," he said, "there was
nothing but elephants. I do not mean
in serried mass, but in small groups."
Gordon Cumming was another famous African hunter who killed his full
share of big game, and F. C. Selous
was another. The latter is said to
have shot 73 elephants in three seasons with an old Dutch elephant gun.
Almost Exterminated.
The result of this slaughter lias been
to exterminate the elephant In South
Africa. Today there are no herds south
of the Zambesi and the Cunene rivers
except two or three small protected
herds in Cape Colony, a small troop
or two in Bamangwto and Bechuana-
land and a few in Mush on a land and
perhaps in Matabeleland. This is all
that remains of the herds that 60 or
70 years ago roamed in freedom over
most of the South African interior.
The English have taken a special interest In the elephant since they have
seen It disappear rapidly from their
South African colonies and several societies have been formed to preserve
it. Tiiese societies have apparently
been gathered into one which lias for
its purpose the preservation of the
fauna of all the British empire.
"The society devotes considerable
attention to the preservation of the
elephant and has sent many deputations on the subject to successive foreign and colonial secretaries," said
Lieut.-Col. Patterson. "Elephant reserves at present exist In all African
colonies where these animals are
found, in Cape Colony, Transvaal,
Rhodesia. British Central Africa, British East Africa, Uganda, Somalil.tnd.
Sudan and our West African dependencies. In British Gambia no elephants
are allowed to he killed."
The strict enforcement of the laws
against the killing of elephants has
brought about some odd results in
some of the colonies. One of the missionary stations last year sent <wt a
hurry call for some one in authority
to come and relieve them from a slate
of siege that had been brought about
by a herd of elephants camping in
their grounds.
Aggressive Were Killed.
The people of the station, on account of the game laws, could not 1.U1
(he beasts and they could not go niit
into the fields to work for fear of Le*
ing trampled or run down. An officer
was finally detailed to kill the most,
aggressive of the herd and to drive the
others away to safe distance.
One of the greatest of tho preserves
Is in the Kuysna foreBt, a few miles
from Port Elizabeth, Here there are
large herds that roam 'around fearlessly and with such an assurance of
security that they do not take 'right
at the sight of man.
In the British Central African protectorate there is another wide a-ea
set apart for the fauna of the district.
It Is called the Elephant Marshes, but
curiously enough the elephants for a
Greater Than Ever!

MEAGHER!®, CO
long time were the one species of big
game that avoided it. In the past year
they have apparently taken to the
sanctuary thus formed and are cooling
to it in numbers.
• In recent years it has often been
naked why the question of the preservation of the African elephant could not
be solved in the same way as the preservation of the Indian elep tant;
that is, by making him useful. One
of the greatest needs in South Africa
Is a beast of burden, and if the elephant could be trained the Bettlars
would have one of their greatest problems solved.
Training the Elephant.
It. seems to be not so much the case
that the African elephant can lot be
trained as It is that he can not be
found In sufficient numbers to Justify
the attempt. The habits of the African elephant are not altogether similar to those of his brother in India.
The latter has bis home in jungles and
the natives know to a reasonable degree of certainty where they may find
htm, but the African elephant lives
more in the open country and tomorrow he may he 20 miles away from
where he was seen today.
Besides the African native has not
the same patience or aptitude for
training tbat the Indian has shown.
"With an Indian population in Africa," says an English writer, "the
African elephant might have been
made quite as useful as the Asiatic
elephant."
lt is not the white hunter that is
feared now ns the destroyer of tho elephant, but the native who kills merely
for the ivory that lie can obtain. The
big beast,  as hns nlready been seen,
is pretty well protected In most of tho
European colonies. The work of preservation must take into account the
native ivory hunter and be carried on
in the untraveled and unfrequented
parts ot the continent. From the amount of ivory that has been imported
from Africa into Europe In the last
ten years It is estimated that about
115,000 elephants annually have fallen
victims to the ivory hunters.

CHANGES IN GERMAN MINISTRY.
A Berlin dispatch says:
Both the Imperial and Prussian cabinets are passing through a period of
reconstruction, and the public is
vaguely trying to fathom the meaning
of the changes. Following the sudden
resignation of Minister of the Interior
van Moltke and Minister of Agriculture
von Arnim-Kriewon, the announcement
of the resignation of the finance minister, Froiherr von Rheinbaben naturally heightened the confusion, as his
retirement removed the leading figure
of the Prussian administration and a
known favorite of the kaiser.
Herr Rheinbaben's desire to retiro
after nine years of conspicuous public
life is ascribed largely to the violent
attacks made upon him, the business
world charging him with incompetence.
Simultaneously with these changes
came the announcement that von
Schoen has resigned. His resignation
following so soon after that of Colonial Secretary Dornburg's, which occurred a few weekB ago, and the fact
that five important ministerial changes
have been made within a month are
causing an excited discussion in political circles, where It ls pointed out
that the internal situation resulting
from Chancellor Betthmann-Hollweg's
lack of definite policies ls rapidly becoming confused and unstable.      —

New Steamship Lines Make Canadian
Ports Popular—More Interesting
Than via New York
Leaving the shores of Canada by the
port of Montreal last week were 2212
passengers intending to tour through
the British Isles. Of the total number
1507 cabin passengers long ago reserved their accommodation for tbe best
month in the year in which to cross the
Atlantic.
It has been the best shipping season
for the port of Montreal since the prosperous year of 1907 and the figures for
this week as far as most of the lines
are concerned, represent the culmination of the outgoing passenger business.
After this there may be a lull for a
few weeks but the rush will recommence when the thousands of Canadians return home from their travels.
"For six weeks after Aug. 15 every
herth has been reserved, both first and
second class," said George Hannah of
the Allan line.
A Record Season
"It will probably turn out to be the
best passenger season we ever had,"
declared the officials of the Canadian
Pacific Railway Steamship company,
speaking of the bookings on the Empress steamers.
In general the busy shipping men
look upon it as a particularly healthy
sign that with two large new lines coming to Montreal this season, there
should still be more than enough passenger business to go all around and
make them all happy.
The following table gives an Idea of
the passengers leaving by this port at
the end of the week:
Royal George  '.  C22
Virginian    620
Laurentic        550
Southwark 150
L*ake Champlain   140
Tortona  130
Total  2212
The figures d0 not give an actual
idea of the bookings owing to the fact
that there ls no Empress steamer leaving until next week.
Cabin    passengers   on    the    Royal
George this week include 220 members
of the Sons of England society who are
going to visit the mother country.
Preferred by Western Americans
While the majority of the passengers
are prosperous Canadians travelling
first class, a glance down the passenger
lists show tiie increasing number of
Americans from the western states who
are taking trains for Montreal and sailing by liners flying the British flag instead of going hy the New York route.
For travellers from Chicago, Detroit,
Buffalo, etc., the St. Lawrence route,
with its peaceful waters and beautiful
scenery, is becoming by far the most
popular. They are beginning to realize
that by the Canadian lines they have
over 80 miles of inland navigation, finally passing through the beautiful Belle
Isle straits which are the admiration
of all mid-summer passengers; whereas
on sailing from New York, the steamer
goes out of the port into a haze and la
a couple of hours nothing is seen but
water. .

AIRSHIPS FOR WARTIME.
French  Government    Hag    Given  Up
the Former Scheme.
Tn reply to a series of articles on
aerial warships, and in particular one
in the Revue MHUal're Generale, by
Major Besseyre des Horts, who again
upheld the theory that airships might
be used to drop shells on an enemy, M.
Paul Grez, an expert in the matter,
publishes a long article, in which he
says that once for all the idea that an
airship could be used for such a purpose ought to be given up by officers,
who are evidently allowing themselves
to be carried away from strict realities
by their vivid imagination. After ten
years of effort since the first successful airship was constructed the very
opposite has been conclusively proved.
Steerable balloons cannot be considered in anyway as being practical aerial
warships.
Incidentally the French government
has deliberately given up tbe Idea of
rebuilding airships of the type of the
ill-fated Patrie, Republique, and of
such as the Ville de Paris, the Le-
Baudy, or the Liberte. Years of efforts
to make the airships has convinced tl e
competent authorities that it is labor
wasted. The war office has .'lot for
this reason given up airships entirely.
It has accepted the offers made if new
types hearing completion or actually
completed, but u is not looking out for
more than what they can be reasonably expected to furnish, and *lmt is
simply as auxiliary scojita. Any ono
says Mi Grez, who has carefully
Btudied the capabilities of airships
must be convinced that this is all that
can he expected from them.—Ptnis

(Laughter). The simple fact of three
services on Sunday and excellent
hymns practically determined lor
those who had been to prison several times what their religious faith
would he. (Laughter). Silence was
the rule in prison, and If the noble
lord were to go to church In a prison
he would hear the beat hymn singing ho had ever listened to. (Laughter). Why was it so sincere, why so
well done, why. 10 loved? Because
those who knew how to do it used
the singing as an opportunity for
conveying messages to each other
(laughter), whloh thtj could nit do
lies, or only three Presbyterians, and
a warden watching every movement.
(Laughter). He could assure the
noble lord that if "Lead, Kindly
Light" was being sung in Pentonville
prison there were many four-ounce
loaves of bread passed from one prisoner who did not want it to another
whom he thought, wanted it more than
himself. That was why 90 ;ier cent,
of these people said they belonged to
the Church of England.

AT THE THEATRES.
The comic opera, "Trial hy Jury," whicn
will be presented by local amateurs in the
Nelson opera house on Wednesday, July
20, Is one of the most amusing of the
Gilbert and Sullivan productions. The story
of the trial Is very humorous, being an
action for breach of promise of marriage,
the jtfalntlff being a rather free and easy
young lady who claims damages against
a very consistent young man, who has
won her affections. The jury men and
foreman of jury have no sympathy with
tbe defendant and treat him as a very
cruel, heartless victim. The usher of tbe
court Is a very stately and important person and has quite an amount of work to
keep the whole court In order, especially
the Jurymen. The Judge ls Interested

MINING NEWS
Sheep Creek Mines Rich.
Nicola Valley News—Reports from
Sheep creek all show that the mines
of that district are extremely rich and
valuable. Several important strikes
have been recently made, one of
them at the Summit mine, where a
sixteen-foot vein of ore assaying at
?150 and running for a considerable
distance  has   been  uncovered. At
the Mother Lode mine good strikes
have been made and ore which assays
very highly is being Backed for shipment. At the McQueen mine a 25-foot
strike has been made.
So rich is the ore in the Sheep creek
gold mining camp that it is claimed
that during the paBt eighteen months
more gold bullion has been produced
than from any other free gold milling
district in Canada. Large numbers of
people are going into the district, by
way of Salmo, and the new government road which Ib being constructed
will give much better transportation
facilities.
For Borne time the Sheep Creek
Summit Mining company has been
making regular shipments of ore ranging from $200 to $400 in value of
straight free milling gold. This mine
has increased its staff of workmen and
is driving a 300-foot tunnel. Thret?
shifts of men are being employed
working night and day, and the work
is being rushed in every possible way.
A ten-stamp mill will be installed this
fall. At this mine contrary to the
usual custom, the ore veins widen out
as they get deeper, instead of contracting.

Thompson, physical director ol the Y.M.
C.A., said last night:
Place of Athletics.
"The high place which athletic sports
and exercises occupy In our national life
Is a fact not open to argument It is
fitting that track and field sports should
occupy an Important position In the domain of athletic exercises. They are something more than mere pastimes. True,
they are primarily a recreation and a consequent aid to the more far-reaching alms
.of our dally life, but running through
them all there is an upper current which
calls forth and develops the same characteristics which make or mare us in affairs of greater moment. The athlete
learns to appreciate the good qualities
brought out In himself and his comrades
by actual competition. He learns to value
tne great quality of gameness, the spirit
which fights on undismayed In the face of
apparent defeat, and again and again at
the last moment pulls out a vlotory. He
learns to respect the rights of bis antagonists and oomes to realise that his
Individual success or failure Is nothing
compared to the success of the meeting
dn which he Is participating, that he must
regard the rights of the officials and the
Is the spirit which should govern competition.
"In a word, then, track and Held athletics deserve to be encouraged, because
they are thoroughly democratic In charac
ter, becauNe they furnish an opportunity
for the development of brain tad muscle,
and- because they teach a man how to
