Imperial Special Conference
Discussing Navy
IS A DIFFICULT QUESTION

and Rio Grande train No. 1 westbound,
collided just west of Hausted, Colo., between Colorado Springs and Palmer
Lake at 10:26 this morning. Five persons are known to have been killed and
36 Injured. Both locomotives and many
of the -cars in both trains were badly
damaged. The faifiire of one crew to
observe orders Is believed to have been
the cause of the wreck. The dead are
all on the eastbound.
LONDON, Aug. 14—While the lm-
pf-frtyl defence conference; had little
difficulty in elaborating a scheme for
the army as explained In yesterday's
•despatches, the delegates found the naval question a hard problem to solve.
All the colonies readily agreed to pay
a fair share of the cost of the navy,
hut discussion as to the particular form
oH the contributions disclosed a sharp
difference of opinion between the admiralty and the Canadian and Austral-
Ian delegates.
This was particularly true with respect to Great Britain's recent policy
in the Pacific. When the Anglo-Japanese treaty was concluded Great Britain
withdrew the greater part of her fleet
from the China coast and completelv
abandoned the North Pacific fleet, both
of which could be used in conjunction
with an Australian squadron to protect
Brttlish trade and British possessions
in all parts of the Pacific. The home
government sees no danger In that part
of the world and has full confidence
in her eastern ally. Tlie colonial delegates, however, persistently pictured
Japan as a rival who,might some day
hecome possessed of a desire for more
territory.
They, therefore, while agreeing to
contribute to the maintenance of the
main fleet, declared that the greatest
energy should be exerted to provide
defences for their own coast and trade.
Australia already is building torpedo
boats as a nucleus of the fleet nnd
Canada purposes to do the same. The
admiralty believes that these fleets
will prove of greatest use lfi controlled
from London but to this the Canadians
do not agree. The fleet, they sny
would come to the assistance ofi the
mother country in time of need, but it
must be absolutely under the control
of the federal government. Canada's
first ships will be modern cruisers and
the Canadians think that these should
be placed In the Pacific. The home
authorities, on the other hand, want
them on the Atlantic, whence thev
could join the main fleet in the North,
Sea on the shortest notice.
The delegates are in daily conference
and the admiralty hopes that a scheme
will be completed nnd ready for presentation In the conference on Aug.
19. New Zealand. South'Africa and th6
smaller colonies have agreed to make
direct contributions to the British navy
and to depend on it for their protection.
LONDON, Aug, 14—On Tuesday next
the admiralty will present a bill to parliament to amend the Naval Defence act
of 1845 and to make better provision
respecting naval establishments In the
British possessions.
LONDON, Aug. 14—Sir Edward Morris, premier of Newfoundland, who is
at present in London to attend the imperial defence conference, wns questioned today regarding the complaints
of a breach of faith made by the Commercial company against the Newfoundland government.   He said:
"What the present government does
not feel itself justified in doing is to
ask the legislature to ratify a portion
of the contract giving a new concession to the cable company whereby it
would obtain a monopoly for 25 yeras
of the transmission of al* cable messages passing over the Newfoundland
lines, and freedom from taxation. This
would be unfair and prejudicial to the
Anglo-American company, doing business on the same street In St. John's
and which pays yearly taxes to the
amount of $20,000."
Premier Morris will l-jave England
for New York on Aug. 21,
LONDON, Autx, 14—The kine has an-

C-MAN IMMIGRATION Ml MFC   ACTIVE
WILL TRY A NEW SYSTEM
VAN ROI MINES WILL TREAT ORE
BY MUREX PROCESS
TREATMENT     18     PARTICULARLY
ADAPTED TO BRITISH COLUMBIA
Speaking at the statutory meeting of
the Murex Magnetic Co., Ltd., held ln
London, England, on July 19, the chairman said in the course of. his address
to the me'muers:
"One of the most promising fields of
operating the Murex process is British
Columbia. In British Columbia are numerous mines of varying productive ca-
paclty, but some possessing large
bodies of lead-zinc and silver ores,
whose treatment hitherto has been difficult, and often altogether unprofitable, but which could bei profitably
bandied bysthe Murex process. Moreover, there are numerous low grade
copper mines which will prove a profitable field for us. A trial of British
Columbia ore was carried out at our
works under the supervision of an independent engineer, Mr. Bowyer Bower, and with good results. I believe
Mr. Bower's report has been communicated to the government of. British Col.
umbia. In It he mentions that the sample of ore tested was exceptionally difficult with a fairly high persentage of
silver lead (galena) and a low percentage of zinc blende. He reports
that the test was altogether successful
and prophecies how the discovery of
the process will result ln the opening
up ofi many abandoned propositions. We
have aiready entered Into a contract
with the Van Rol Mines to have a plant
erected on their property in British
Columbia. This plnnt will be erected by
Mr. Levy, who has a goijd knowledge of
the field, and is associated with Messrs.
Alexander Hill and Stewart, the engineers, who are acting as our reprean-
tatives ln British Columbia. By arrange,
ment with the Van Roi company, in consideration of their being accorded favorable terms as the pioneer users of our
process in that district, the plant will
be available for demonstration pur-
poses. The managers and engineers of
other mines In British Columbia will
thus have an opportunity of seeing the
process in actual work on the mine and
we entertain little doubt that by this
arrangement a large and profitable business will be developed in British Columbia."
At the close of thp chairman's address Alexander Hill said: "The Murex process attracted me In the 'first
instance by what seemed to be its
eifectiveness more opcclally the control that the operator seems to have
over the process itself. All that the
operator had to do to get the best
extraction from non-mngnetic minerals
was to add a little more or a little less
of the magnetic solution. Their being
able to extract from the bulk minerals
which are non-magnetic without subjecting them to some other process,
such as calcination, seemed to me tn
be a very important noint. Tt was that
that attracted me nnd also the f.int Cup.
on which I think Mr. Lockwood is very
much to be congratulated) that ho
seems to have combined portions of
other processes, such as the magnetic
proces for dry ores and the flotation
or oil process, into one almost harmonious whole, with very grent simplicity.
I have had the opportunity of carrying
out exhaustive tests but I hone to see
a good deai more of it In British Columbia."

MILLION—POLICE FOR SKEENA
(Speclnt to The Dally News.)
VANCOUVER, Aug. 14—A gain of
over ?15,000,t)t)0 within the past year
in the assessable value of property and
Income subject to provincial taxation
over the preceding year, an increase
of over 16 per cent, is tlie net resul.t.
of the provincial assessor's returns for
tlie current fiscal year. These returns
just completed speak volumes for the
continued progress and prosperity of
the whoie of British Columbia.
In no part of It,* judging by the figures given out, can be found the least
sign of depression, financial, Industrial
or commercial. The figures are eloquent of progress everywhere. They
how that the assessable value of property and Income has reached $104,916.-
00j. Last year it was $89,649,000. The
increase therefore is over $15,275,000.
Within the past six years the increase
has been $56,928,000, the total value of
property and income assessable by the
province, which is outside of that assessed by the municipalities having
doubled within that period. The increase in municipalities has no doubt
even greatly exceeded this remarkable
advance.
According to the assessor' returns incomes subject to provincial taxation
are today $12,776,000, an increase over
last year of $2.51S,000 or more than 24
per cent; personal property has readier ^9,678.000, an Increase of $4,518,000
or over 17 per eent and imnroved real
estate Is assessed at $50,172,000, an increase of $;{,10;i.000. or 34 per cent.
These figures, of course, do not include the lands held under timber licenses as thev are not subject to taxation.
To reassure white settlers in the
Skeena river and Bulkley vat.ey against
renewal of unrest in tbe Indian section
and in order to impress upon the Indians the fact, that tbe provincial government is friendly toward them, attorney general \V. J. Bowser has just created a new provincial police district in
that region. James Maitlnml Dougald,
formerly government agent at Duncans,
lias been appointed In charge w ith his
headquarters at Hazelton and wbl act

ATHABASCA AND UNITED UNDER
NEW MANAGEMENT — MANY
RICH DISCOVERIES IN VARIOUS
MINES—TRAIL SMELTER RECEIPTS   RECORD   FOR   YEAR
The value of tlie great mining territory or east and west Kootenay and
the Boundary, of which Nelson Is tlie
centre, Is being steadily but surely
proved. At various times in Its history different parts ot the district
.have passed through booms both large
and small and corresponding periods
of depression. At tlie present moment,
however, nothing in tiie nature of a
boom is to be seen, the industry is
progressing on a safe and sound
busis; stock-jobbing and "wildcat"
company promoting is almost unheard
of and tiie development of tlie mines
in tlie Kootenays and Boundary is being conducted In a manner which cannot but end in success.
Tills sound development on a business basis is not confined to any one
part of the district but Is rapidly becoming more and more general. Day
after day news comes to hand of the
opening up of old properties and tiie
bonding and working of both new and
old mines. Capital is coming Into this
country, not through the efforts of
unscrupulous company promoters, but
as a natural result of the hard work
of tlie mine owners and prospectors,
backed by the undoubted natural
worth of tlie country in the opening
up of which they have spent many fortunes and many years of labor.
The past week has been particularly prolific of these signs of progress
In Kootenay and Boundary mining.
Several important deals have been
consummated and a large number of
strikes have been reported.
The largest deal was that in which
tlie Athabasca mine, near Nelson, was
purchased by W. Shackleton, A. Bunker, A. W. Constans, A, N. McBetli
and A. II. Kelly from tlie Hank of
Montreal. This properly Is one of the
best known in tlie vicinity of Nelson
and has already produced a very
large amount of gold. It Is the intention of the new owners to operate the
mine with a staff of men at once,
Another transaction hardly less important was that In which ,). S. Air-
heart bonded tlie i'nited mine, near
Alnsworth, from J, W. Smith and associates. Mi*. Airlieart already controlled the Highland and the Buckeye
mines in the same district, and it is
his Intention fo work the three properties In conjunction with tlie well-
known Highland mill, whicli is acknowledged to he one of the most
economical plants Jn tlie country. In
oider to convey tlie ore from the
United to the shores of Kootenay
lake, where the mill is located, a ti'am-
way will be built, and by means of
tlie ore from tlie three mines it is expected tliat tlie concentrator will be
kept working at its full capacity of
nearly 200 tons per day of ton hours.
Mr. Airlieart Is now In tho States for
the purpose of obtaining machinery
for the Highland mill which will
enable not only tlie lead nnd sliver to
be separated from tlie ore but also the
zinc.
As far as strikes are concerned the
Sheep creek district last week was
more than usually notable for the
number of new and valuable showings
which have been made. One of the
most important was that on the Mother Lode, where a new seam of four
feet of high grade ore was opened up.
It has been estimated that this lead
will be at least 1,000 feet in length.
It is on the No. '! level of tlie property
and Is yet another example of tlie fact
tliat good us are the surface showings
at Sheep creek, they are even better
when deptli is reached. It was this
question as to whether the ore values nt the creek extended lo depth
whicli for some time kept many capitalists from investing their money
there.
Some exceedingly rich discoveries
have also been made on the Queen,
one of tlie oldest and most developed
properties at the Sheep creek camp.
.About the middle of the week no less
than six additional ledges wero laid
bare. All these ledges are apart from
tlie present workings. One of the
new leads is a continuation of tiie famous Yellowstone lead, and is from
five to six feet in width In $17 milling
ore. Tlie discovery of tills ledge took
place while some of the men were repairing a flume above tlie existing
workings. They happened to notice a
number of large boulders which, on
being investigated, proved to be connected wltli the main live-foot lead.
The Golden Belle, adjoining tlie
Mother Lode, has also come to the
fore with the discovery of two new
ledges of very high grade sulphide
ore, each one averaging from four to
five feet in width.
Tbe Bonanza Is being worked by
George D. Bell and a large staff of
men, who have recently encountered
a valuable new shoot of ore some 400
feet west of the old lead. The present operations are being carried on
at a point about 1,000 feet above the
previous workings.
A. H. Gracey, interviewed by a representative of The Dally News, last
night stated tliat he bad received
news of a new strike on the Nugget.
Two new leads had been exposed running parallel to the previous workings. He had not up to that time received any exact information as to
the width of tlie new discoveries or
as to the value of tlie ore, but he understood that it was in keeping with
the high grade nature of tlie showings
on the portions of the mine which had
been developed.
On Tuesday a staff of men will be
set to work on the Golden Fawn at
Sheep creek. This property adjoins
tlie Nugget and has some remarkably
good showings. The owners are C. E.
Bennett, Thomas Gallon, Fred P.
Drummond and William Burnham.
From Wolf creek, near Sheep creek,
some samples of sulphide ore, rich in
gold were brought Into tlie city during tlie latter part of the week by
James Van Horn, who stated tliat he
had located a property in that district
upon which there was a large lead of
similarly high grade ore.
Two new strikes have been made
ton the Fern mine near Hail Siding,
Which was leased a short time ago hy
J. C. Moen and H. Skonlng. Each lead
is from 18 inches to two feet in width.
Tlie new leads are above tbe old
workings and a cross-cut is being
driven to cut the vein.
On tlie "Fife mine at Fife a remarkable showing has lately been made.
For a distance of some twenty-five
feet across, clean copper-gold ore Is
shown up, with a body of copper carbonates, lying midway, which lias
yielded results on assay of from $24 to
§'A'A per ton. The clean ore assays
from $14 tn $18. Several carloads of
this oro have now been mined and are
all ready for shipment, the road to tho
railway from tho dumps being now
complete. Tiio main tunnel is now in
a distance of 550 feet and for the last
75 feet has been in ore of shipping
grade.
There lias been considerable activity
in Boundary mining during the past
week. Besides tiie usual output of tlie
Granby and the Snowshoe, and tlie
increasing of the tonnage from the
Mother Lode mine, two of the furnaces at tlie British Columbia Copper
company's smelter are now In full
operation and will make a very material increase in the local copper output; the Bruce mine lias made an
Initial shipment of seven carloads of
ore, part of which went to tho B, C.
copper smelter and tho balance to the
Granby smelter, and tiie Tiptop, a high
grade property, is hauling ore to the
Greenwood smelter.
John Seward arrived in Phoenix
from New York during the week to
assume charge of the properties of the
New Dominion Copper company. Ho
is a qualified mining engineer and
metallurgist, with many years' experience In the mines of Nevada and
South Africa, and conies with a free
hand to make tlie Dominion property
in the Boundary a paying producer.
There is to be no immediate resumption of tiie mine. Mr, Seward is al
present making a thorough examination to determine the best policy to
pursue, and when the resumption does
take place he Intends to have the
concern on a good substantial foundation. There will be many radical
changes In tlie system of extracting
and smelting of ore,
George Cook and Duncan Buchanan
have bonded tlie Black Jack mineral
claim, near tiie No. 7 mine in Central
camp, Boundary, to the Consolidated
Mining and Smelting company of
Trail. Tlie price is stated to be $20,-
000. About a dozen men have been
put to work to develop the property.
General Manager J, E. McAllister
and Consulting Engineer Frederick
Keffer of the B. C. Copper company.
Greenwood, made a trip of inspection
to tlie Jackpot properly this week,
where the company last week purchased tlie Oxley claim for $5,000.
The Jackpot continues promising, with
a large amount of ore blocked out. and
considerable already on the dump.
Negotiations are under way with
the C.P.R. over the construction of the
new spur io Wellington camp, the
railway company not considering the
prospects sufficient to warrant them
building the road without a bonus.
Word has been received from the
Nickel Plate, tlie Similkameen gold
property, that the big deal being engineered by M. K. Rogers for tiie purchase of the property, lias gone
through. The mine was bonded in
May to a syndicate, represented by
Mr. Rogei's, for several millions. Since
that time experts have been sampling
tiie property and last, week completed
their work. The initial payment on
the bond is lo be made on Aug. 15.
The shipments for the past week
totalled 38.060 tons, which Is, with one
exception, a record lor the year. The
receipts of the Consolidated company
at Trail were 10,831 tons, which exceeds any previous total during 1908
by some 2,000 tons. There were no
new shipping properties with the exception of the Bruce in tue Boundary
country.
The following arc tho shipments for the
past week nnd year to date:

down the Greek fjag which they have
hoisted, the four protecting powers of
Crete, Great Britain, Russia, Italy and
France will perform this act, using

four powers and presented to the Turkish government today.
In order to carry out this policy and
to be prepared to use force If necessary to oblige the Cretans to haul down
the objectionable flag, each of the four
protecting powers decided "today to

of the steps they had taken that Turkey
will not think it necessary to order her
fleet to Cretan waters, The joint note
of tho powers to Turkey today Is the
result of a communication from tho
Cretan government declaring that, it is
unable to force the hauling down of the
Greek flag. Tlie action of the powers
followed closely upon Turkey's note to
Greece yesterday demanding a formal
declaration respecting her intentions as
to Crete and thus creating a situation-
grave enough to move the powers to action, i
PARIS, Aug. 14—The action of tho

of a notification from the Cretan government that ft was unable to secure
the hauling down of the Greek fing.

be delicate, and the feeling in botti
Constantinople nnd Athens Is renortert

Many armed hands ;\u< arriving in Candia froni the mountains.

-Come and Visit Us on-
September 16 and 17,1909
What the woman who has
visited the Christie Factory
says to her friends—
*V^
INEVfiR realized all that
the 'Christie' brand on
biscuits meant until I
went through the big factory
in Toronto.
"The cleanliness of the whole
place amazed me. I don't
mean that it is clean as judged
by factory standards, but clean
according to any  standard.
"We women control the purse-
strings when it comes to buying biscuits, and it's no wonder Christie, Brown & Co. are
glad to have us inspect their
factory.  To my mind it is the
strongest advertisement theycould have.
"You'd be surprised
to see the staff that is
kept busy, day in and day out
all the year round—cleaning,
cleaning, cleaning.
"The windows, floors, walls,
ceilings, machinery, etc.—all
speak volumes for Ihe sanitary
conditions under which Christie's Biscuits are made.
"It's a picture to see the
'Christie Girls' —over three
hundred of them—in spotless
white. Each girl is supplied
with two complete uniforms
a week from the firm's private laundry.
"At every turn I found fresh
evidence of the unusual care
which is taken to preserve
absolute cleanliness.
"It was explained to me how
every ounce of raw material
is tested, and how, at each
step throughout the process
of mixing, baking and packing,
the Christie quality is jealously guarded.
"I am convinced that if every
woman in Canada could visit
the Christie factory as I did,
they would not think of using any but Christie's Biscuits
in future."
The best Grocers everywhere
in Canada have Christie's Biscuits. Sold in bulk, by the
pound, or in moisture and
dust-proof packages.
Christie, Brown & Co., Limited
highest in the world, reaching an elevation of 13,000 feet. While here he
spent some time looking into the construction of the National Transcontinental and the Quebec bridge, but
stated that his visit had no connection

pleasure trip.

EDMONTON, Aug. 14—Tomorrow

Prior of Worsley, Sask., and Amadee
Petreault of Battleford, Sask. Prior
was sentenced on March 2(J, 1903, to
a life term for killing a little girl,
whom he lilt on the head with a stick
and afterwards beat to death. Pe-
trault was sentenced on June 17, 190!),
for murdering a comrade, into whom
he plunged a knife, the weapon penetrating the heart. His defense Was
tliat tlie man fell upon the knife by
accident. The men have both shown
signs of dementia of late and have
been pronounced insane by tlie physicians. Prior's chief delusion is that
lie is a son of King Edward, and Petreault Is of the belief tliat various
unseen prisoners are telling him to
perform certain acts.

ONE  LACK   IS  TRANSPORTATION
At .ast Kootenay appears to be coming into its own bo far as the confidence
of the world at large In its resources
are concerned. This applies equally to
lumbering, agriculture and mining.
There can be no ques'tion of tlie value
of Ko'toenay's forest wealth. Fruit growing and otlier forms of agriculture have
long since passed the experimental
stage and the acreage under cultivation is increasing year by year and will
continue until tbe vast areas of land
now idle have been taken up, while mining has at last recovered from the wild-
eating of early days and is fast being
placed on a straight business footing, instead of being conducted in the interests of stock jobbers as in years gone
by. What more could any country ask
some may say and it would appear at
first glance tbat there was now absolutely nothing to keep the country back.
There is, however. A glance at the
situation will show tbat there is one
thing lacking and that, ns a result, the
progress and development of "the country is being retarded. The great lack
of the Kootenay today is mean3 of
transportation. This includes not only
(rails, roads and bridges but also railways. Much of tbe very best timber
In this country ts rendered temporarily
valueless because there are no mean3
of getting It to the markets of the
prairies, thousands upon thousands of
acres of the finest agricultural land is
untouched by the hand of the husbandman because of Its distance from the
present lines of transportation and
many of the very richest mining districts are today lying Idle awaiting only
facilities for shipping ore to smelters
and thereby adding their share to the
country's wealth and prosperity. It is
gratiiylng to be able to 'state that the
government Is doing Its best to meet
tbe needs in so far as trails, ronds and
bridges are concerned, but additional
railways are at least equally important to the country's development.
These are bound to come in the course
of time. The railways will some day
conclude their construction war which
they are waging in the prairie country
and will then devote some attention to
the supplying of those facilities for
which not only the Kootenay but also
practically every other portion of British Columbia Is -crying aloud.
The needs of the north are being met
"co a certain extent by the construction
of the Grand Trunk Pacific which will
necessarily have to develop the terrl-
tory along its line. This company also
has' under way plans tor a branch from
its main line to Vancouver. This will
open up another section of as fine country perhaps as can be found anywhere.
In the souther* portion of the province,
tliat Is the portion between the main
line of the C.P.R. and the international
boundary line, the resources of which
have been established beyond question
but which cannot be taken advantage
of to anything like a reasonable extent
owing to lack of transportation facilities, there Is practically nothing doing
in tbe way of railway construction except what the Great Northern is doing
on Its line from the Boundary to Vancouver, the steel on which is now laid
ns far west as Hedley.
The C.P.R., at the present time, holds
charters for lines in all parts of this
country, but prefers to defer construction in the hope of securing renewals
from parliament, in tlie meantime devoting their energies to fighting the
Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian
Northern for possession of the fertile
prahle country, in this struggle the
C.P.R. has displayed all its well known
resourcefulness in preventing either of
these roads getting ahead of it, knowing, at the same time, that neither of
these roads were for the time being in
a position to attack It in U10 British
Columbia field, where the apathy of the
Great Northern could only be explained by its activity in other directions.
The result has been tbat railway construction has been, for a long time, at
a standstill in southern British Columbia.
The situation, however, has changed
sn far as the Grand Trunk Pacillc and
tlie Canadian Northern are concerned,
but particularly so in regard to ^10
lazier. That road Is now anxious to
get to the Paclllc coast, and in tlje
ordinary course of events It Is only a
question of time until it do.es so.
The line, as talked of, will run from
tlie Yellowliead pass to Vancouver,
following the Thompson as far as
Kamloops, and from there either
paralelllng the C.P.R. southwesterly to
the Terminal City, or running down
through tbe Nicola valley and over
the Hope mountains to the same destination. No line, however, can Invade the southern portion of British
Columbia, as the Canadian Northern
evidently proposes doing, and leave
the Kootenay out of consideration, and
there is evidence ulready tnat that
road has no intention of doing so. Already It lias arranged with the government of Alberta for assistance in
the construction of a line which will
connect Coleman, Alberta, which Is
practically on tho British Columbia
boundary, with Calgary, while another
line for which assistance has also
been granted to the same road hy the
Alberta government will reach the
British Columbia boundary through
the south Kootenay pass, which would
give It access to the Flathead country,
from wheic there would he nothing
to prevbnt the continuation of the
line across this provlnce.t From Coleman the Canadian Northern, once It
has built that far, can gain access
to British Columbia either by taking
■advantage of the clause In the charter of the Crow's Nest Pass railway
giving all other railways running
right over the line, or by building another line paralelllng the present
C.P.R. one. Tbe Dally News is not
in the confidence of the Canadian
Northern any more than it Is in that
of the C.P.R., Grand Trunk Pacific or
Great Northern, and ho cannot say
what the road's object.Ib In building
tuese lines to the British Columbia
boundary, but it Is hardly likely that
it is tbe company's intention that they
should end there. It may also be
noted tbat the Grand Trunk Pacific
have been given assslstance by the Alberta government lor a lino from their
system In that province to a point
near Coleman, and it would look as
though that line was also coming this
way, while the Great Northern has already a line running through the
Crow's Nest Pass from Elko to Michel,
and which Mr. Louis Hill, president
of the road, has announced is
to be extended to Winnipeg some day.
The question for the government
and the people of the province to consider is whether anything can be
done to hasten the construction of
these lines, or at least of some of
them. The accruing benefits would be
twofold. Their construction would
not only provide for the particular
sections they might traverse tbe
transportation facilities, the lack of
which is retarding the development
of the country, but they would also result in the C.P.R. assuming an aggressive construction policy In this province, such as it is at present pursuing
on the prairies, and building some of
tho lines, at least, for which they hold
charters. Tiie result of uie general
railway construction tbat would be
likely to follow in the struggle for
territory would be tbat British Columbia In general, hut Kootenay ln particular, would at last begin to come
Into its own. Anything, therefore,
that tlie government may do ln the
way of reasonable encouragement of
railway construction should receive
general support.
case two young boys were navigating
a launch, which, owing to tho carelessness of those on board, ran down
and cut ln two a boat ln which were
a man and a woman. Had It not been
for the man's energy and presence of
mind be and his companion would
have drowned.
In tne Interests of boating these
matters should be attended to. In Its
water front Nelson has an asset of
untold value. If, however, boating Is
going to be made unsafe through the
neglect of launch and boat owners to
carry lights and through general carelessness in the handling of the craft
on the lake the people of tbe city will
be prevented from securing from it the
enjoyment which nature meant should
be theirs.
BIG  CARGO
LIGHTS ON THE LAKE
In today's issue of The Dally News
is published a letter from Mr. C. W.
Busk, commodore of the Kootenay
Launch club, in reference to the carrying of lights after dark. In his communication Mr. Busk states that not
only, according to regulations, are
launches required to carry lights after
dark, but bo also are row boats, canoes
etc. Apparently then it Is only a matter of enforcing the law.
In the interests of public safety
action In this direction should be
taken at once. Otherwise, sooner or
later, a fatal accident Is certain to
occur. After that the law would likely be enforced, but there Is absolutely no reason why this desirable end
should be secured at the cost of
human life, if necessary it would be
much better that a few people should
be forced to pay good stiff lines for
their violations of the law rather than
tiiat the present dangerous condition
of affairs should be allowed to continue.
While on (lie subject of (he safety
of boating on the lake it might not be
out of place to remark that a little
more care generally on the part of
tbe launch and boat owners might not
be out of place. Especially should
none but responsible parties bo allowed to navigate launches. Only the
other evening there was an instance
of this when a double drowning was
narrowly averted.    In  this particular

IRRIGATIOIUN CANADA
J. S. DENNIS ADDRESSES SPOKANE
MEETING   ON   SUBJECT
TELLS WHAT  HAS  BEEN   DONE  IN
THIS DIRECTION
Speaking before the National Irrigation congress at Spokane on "Irrigation and Irrigation Development in
Canada," J. S. Dennis, member of the
Canadian Society of Civil Engineers
and assistant to second vice president
of the Canadian Pacific Hallway company, said in part:
"The principle of Irrigation as a
means of insuring crop production is
-confined in Canada to the southwestern portion of the provinces of Saskatchewan and the southern portions
of the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. In the first two provinces irrigated land is used chiefly for
the production of grain, fodder and
root crops, but In British Columbia the
areas are utilized foi* the growth of
fruit. Irrigation in all these provinces
is a matter of comparatively recent
history and, in fact, may be said to he
the result of the last 20 years.
"The use of water through Irrigation
has now, however, extended beyond
the experimental stage and has made
wonderful strides during the last ten
years in reclaiming large areas. In
southeastern Saskatchewan the systems, though numerous, are small and
are largely confined to the areas on
the nortli and south slopes of the Cypress hills, and the introduction of
systems for the reclamation of large
areas in that district is limited by the
insufficiency of the water supply.
Water Abundant In B. C.
"fn British Columbia, which is a
mountainous country, the water supply is bountiful, but the areas suitable
for Irrigation are available only in the
valleys and are small in extent, and,
although the systems now in operation
or under construction comprise many
hundreds in number, tbe total area of
irrigated land is not more than aoo,-
000 acres.
"It Is in the great plains region of
southern Alberta that the great Canadian irrigation projects aro situated
and there tiie principle o. lrrtgatlo|
has been extended until today we have
some 150 Irrigation systems completed
or under construction capable of supplying water for the irrigation of
1,750,000 acres.
"Southern Alberta comprises a great
open plateau extending from the
Rocky mountains eastward for 200 .
miles, and the portion within which i
Irrigation Is practiced extends northerly from the international boundary
for another 200 miles. This portion of
the province has many fine rivers like
the St. Mary's, the Belly, the Kootenay, tlie Old Man. High river, together
with many smaller streams.
"The Introduction or Irrigation in
this region began about If) years ago
through the efforts of the ranchmen
to Improve the production of fodder
on bottom lands by the construction
of small and Inexpensive ditches lo
divert water.
C. P. R, Pushes Development
"The great impetus, however, was
given to the irrigation development In
southern Alberta by the decision of
the Canadian Pacific Railway company
in 1908 to undertake the reclamation
of a vast block of land comprising
3,000,000 acres situated along the main
railway line to the east of the city
of Calgary.
"The area embraced In the Canadian Pacific Railway company's 'Irrigation block,* as it Is commonly called,
Is bounded on the west by the Bow
river, on the east by the line between
ranges 10 and 11 west of the fourth
meridian, on the soutii by the Bow
river and on the north by the Hod
Deer river and the north boundary of
township 28. It has a length from
east to west of 150 miles and an average width from north to south of 40
miles, and its magnitude may be illustrated by stating that It Is larger than
the states of Connecticut and Rhode
Island combined.
"In developing this Irrigation project
the block was divided into three sections—eastern, central and western-
containing about 1,1)00.000 acres each,
and the construction of canals and incidental colonization Is being carried i
on along the lines of development of
the sections separately, beginning
with the western.
Total Area 1,200.000 Acres
"The general engineering surveys
so far completed, indicate that of the
total area about 1,200,000 acres can
he irrigated, of which 350,000 acres
are situated In the western section.
The water for tiio Irrigation of land
within this block is diverted from Ihe
lioiv river tit two main points, the
most westerly being situated about
two miles below the city of Calgary
and the most easterly about 50 miles
east of that city. In tlie western section the construction of canals nnd
ditches is well advanced. At ths close
of the year 1908 some 1,350 miles of
canals and ditches were completed,
and during the present year 500 miles
of additional canals and ditches will
be constructed, giving a total of 1,050
miles of waterways within that section of tlie block for the Irrigation oi'
the 360,000 acres of land mentioned ln
the western section.
"The engineering surveys indicate
that about tlie same amount of canals
and ditches will be required in each
of the other sections; and the completed scheme will, therefore, comprise the construction by the company
of some 5,000 miles of waterway at a
total estimated cost of $0,000,000.
"The land Is sold from maps which
enable the purchaser to see exactly
where tlie water is to be delivered on
the boundary of his quarter section,
and these maps also show from actual
contour surveys tlie area which Is Irrigable on each 100 acres.
"The irrigation project of the Canadian Pacific Hallway company from
the standpoint of area included In the
block, area to be actually irrigated and
mileage of canals and ditches constructed, may. I think, be spoken of
as America's greatest individual irrigation project."

PITTSBURG STRIKE
Three Thousand Men Attend Funeral
—More Smuggling by Employers
PITTSBURG, Aug. 14—Steve Horvat,
who was killed during an attack on
.Major Smith, u negro at McKee's Rocks
on Thursday, was burled today. Three
■thousand strikers escorted the body to
Pittsburg while the remainder of ihe
strikers stood guard at the works on
account of a rumor that more new men
would he taken Into tlie car plant during the funeral services. Nolhwlth-
standing the vigilance of the strikers
it is said that 250 additional men were
smuggled In during the day. Tlie parade
today was the ii'st appearance of the
strikers upon the streets oft this city
in a body and fearing trouble the line
of march was closely watched by tho
police, who restricted the emblems carried in the procession to American
flags.
OFFERING CHEAP LANDS
C. P. R. GIVES LIBERAL TERMS ON
KOOTENAY   LANDS
SYSTEMATIC   EFFORT TO  DISPOSE
OF   RAILWAY  GRANTS
The Canadian Pacific railway company is offering land for sale in Southern British Columbia for tlie low price
of $5 p<Sr acre and to induce settlement in this section of our great province, of hardy, thrifty pioneers they
have made the purchase price payable
in eight yearly installments, thus giving the settler time to improve his
land and make it pay for itself.
Tlie company has recently issued
two books of very complete Information regarding Southern British Columbia and British Columbia generally
—its hiutory-, climate, resources, in-
duuXrles. eto,
Maps, on which itre shown in pink
the hinds for sale by this department,
and copies of this regulation governing
the sale of land in the Columbia &.
Western und Columbia &.. Kootenay
land grants with application forms-
agricultural and timber—for these railways and "the B. Q. Southern.
It wll] be noticed from the regulations that "first class lands, suitable
for agricultural purposes in their present, condition or which are capable of
being brought under cultivation profitably by clearing or which are wild hay
meadows" are offered In quarter sections (1G0 acre tracts) for jo per acre,
payable one-eighth down and the balance In seven equal annual installments
That Is 62 1-2 cents per acre each year.
or $100 down and $100 por year for
seven years for 160 acres—total $S0fl.
Should the settled select land with
'Umber on it (no part with an average
extent of more than 3000 feet board
measure per acre for C. & W. lauds Or
5000 feet per acre for B.C.S. or C. & K.
lands Is classed as agricultural land)
he wottid he required to pay only $1.00
per thousand feet for the merchantable
timber on the land. All the remainder
that he uses on the place, fnr houses,
barns, fences, fuel, etc.. Is free.
These lands in varying localities are
ideal for general mixed truck, fruit,
dairy or stock farming, as tlie case mav
be.
The development of Southern British
Columbia has been very rapid during
Ihe iast few years nnd the settlers in
'tbis country can no longer lie properly
termed pioneers. Oood towns and cities
are now frequent along the lines of the
C.P.R. nnd the land offered for sale is
much of it nenr these towns, where
good schools, churches, banks and nil
kinds of stores have been established.
The simple facts are that the pursuit of agriculture In Southern British
Columbia is favored beyond many
other sections of Canada nnd the United
States by the natural conditions which
exist. And when the price at which
the C.P.R. Is willing to sell these
lands Is taken Into consideration, there
Is small chance of other lands yielding
n better return on the investment.
What thp C.P.R. desires to offer \%
land sn low in cost compared with
Its yielding capacity thai, those who Investigate carefully cannot, but decide
In favor of Southern British Columbia.
The railway is In a position to sell
land at a nominal price for the reason
that It is primarily a "transportation
company and relies for profit from the
sale of, land mainly on the transportation of the produces raised on the
Innd.

same law which makes ii (compulsory for

upon row boats. I have myself, on many

have Invariably had to reply "No, If vou

very much better than they were in this

the row boats aud canoes arc the creatost

extensive dealings with Chaplng ami had
no trouble in gelling his cheque cashed.
This cheque leached .1. F. .Miller, local

amused suspicions which resulted in the

from I'ulutn, ,i Mr. Long being the victim, lie also had business dealings with
