AVALANCHE IN EARLY HOURS
—RELIEF • FROM. REVEL8TOKE
AND CALGARY
(Spud*!, to The Daily News.)
VANCOUVER, March 5.—Early this
morning, what is probably the worst
accident in the history of the fountain
section of the C. P- R., occurred near
Rogers Pass, where an avalanche of
snow descended carrying with it tons
of rocks, boulders, and uprooted trees
from the mountainside. With incredible
force and swiftness this mountainous
mass swept upon a party of HI trackmen and employees, who were working at clearing track of another slide
that occurred the previous evening. Of
the entire party, it Is believed not one
remains to tell the exact story of the
accident, all being buried beneath the
avalanche to a depth of 60 feet, or carried Into the deep canyon.
The official list of the workmen, all
of whom are supposed to be dead, ia as
follows: R. J. Buckley conductor, Revelstoke; W. H. Phillips, engineer, Revelstoke; T. Griffith, fireman, South
Vancouver; J. J. Fraser, roadmaster,
Revelstoke; Hotruff, engineer, Revelstoke*; J. McClelland brldgeman, Revelstoke; A. Johnson, foreman, Revelstoke; C. Anderson, foreman, Victoria;
F. Wellanders. foreman, D. J. McDonald, brldgeman, A. Mahon   brakeman,
G. Nichols, brldgeman.
There were also 12 of Bridge Foreman McDonald's men, whose names
are not now procurable,   and 37 Jap-
The first slide took place at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at a narrow valley,
and flanked on either Bide by mountains covered with a depth of snow
varying from 40 to 50 feet. It did not
come from a very high elevation, and
was something more than snow. It had
a length of 500 feet, and a depth of
KO feet.  - ■  l
Rain and sleet we're falling when the
rotary engine, aided by a small army
of white and Japanese section men,
started to clear the tracks. . Half an
hour later, although there were premonitions oX,danger indicated by the
crash and boom of avalanches on adjacent peaks, the men inured to such
risks, stuck steady to the task. As
the hours advanced, rain and sleet continued to fall In increased volume.
Precisely at 12:30 o'colck this morning, when half of the first slide had
been removed, the second avalanche oc-
cure. It started on the side of canyon
opposite the point where the first slide
took place. Thousands of feet above,
a few rolling bunches of snow, a great
volume started on Its pathway of destruction. In a few seconds, with a
noise like a thousand thunderbolts
crashing In succession, It leaped from
shelf to shelf, uprooting and carrying
with It a tangled mass of trees, Ice,
and huge boulders.
There was no escape for the unfortunate railway men. It scaled on top
of the first slide, burying the track for
a distance of a quarter of a mile, and
to a depth of 50 feet. Hundreds of
thousands of tons of other debris ln
tho wake of the avalanche bounded off
In a heap,' and half filled the valley of
Bear creek, hundreds feet below.
News of the disaster was flashed hy
the lone telegraph operator at the wayside station a mile distant. As soon as
the news reached Revelstoke, the fire
hell was sounded, and within half an
hour a relief train conveying physl-/;
clans and nurses'and over 200 railway
men and citffeeris. was speeding east to
Rogers Pass.' The scene of, the accident was reached at 6 o/clock this
morning, when the task .of digging out
the tangled mass of debris in the hope
of finding a few survivors, waB commenced with vigor.
Calgary's was an equally prompt response. It also sent a relief train with
150 workmen, as -well as physicians
and nurses. .The special arrived at
Rogers PasB at 10 o'clock this morning.
L. Kilpatrlck, acting superintendent
of the Pacific division of the C. P. R.,
left here this morning on the Revelstoke local, en route to -the scene of
the accident going on from Revelstoke
by a special.
Advices from the scene of the accident this .afternoon stated that .another slide occurred this morning about
7 o'clock, at a point a mile east of the
place where the fatal slide landed.
This destroyed a portion of the snow-
shed, and 'buried' tbe line to a depth
of fiO feet for'W0 yards.
Six bundled-men are working clear-
ing^he tracksybut the wo'rk Is of such
, a heavy character that It will take several - days to establish connections-
There Is constant danger of additional
slides In the vttinity, which may still
further complicate matters.
This-afternoon's out-going express
left on time, the officials stating that
pending clearing of the, tracks, all
trains would go to Revelstoke, and, by
the: Arrow,, UWs to the Crow's Neat
Pass route. '•'  •
When the accident occurred, the
eastbound express from Vancouver had
-Just reached Glacier. The westbound
express was held 25 miles east of Rogers Pass.
Tbe latest reports from the Pass
state tbat only five bodies are recovered, those of Fraser, Griffith, Buckley,
Phillips, and a Japanese. It is feared
that a majority of the victims were
swept Into the canyon, and their bodies
may not be recovered until the enow
melts.
TACOMA, Wash., March 5.—A message received here tells of a slide at
Mountaindale, on tbe Chicago, Milwaukee ft Puget Sound ralway, ln which a
young man was killed. Five are Injured, and five or six are missing, and
are bellved to be" dead In the canyon
below.
WELLINGTON, Wash., March 6.—
Slow progress was made today by the
men excavating death gorge, where a
Great Northern train was burled by an
avalanche of Tuesday, and only a few
bodies were brought out. Looking
down from Wellington into the gorge
where the wrecked,trains and t;o dead
are burled, nothing Is discernible except
a broken truss, tbe pilot of an engine,
portions of two electric motors, and
fragments of a rotary plow. Coroner
Snyder, who estimates the number of
dead at more than 100, believes all the
bodies will be recovered within a week.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 5.—A special to the Post-1 ntelllgencer from Everett says one car at tbe Wellington
slide has been excavated, and 10 persons tn it were found alive. The report tbat Trainmaster Blackburn's
body was lost in a second slide is denied. Blackburn and Superintendent
O'Neils' private secretary were both In
his private car when it went over.
That car has not been found and there
ls hope that the occupants may be
alive. One man entombed 60 hours has
been dug from the snow, half demented.
EVERETT Wash., March 5.—The report circulated here that 10 persons
jfad been found alive in a car excavated from -the snow-covered wreckage at Wellington, has caused great
excitement here, but. Is so far unconfirmed. The wire to Wellington was
lost during the storm, and it Is impossible to get word direct from there.
At the Great Northern offices 'here it
Is said they have received no conifr-
matlon of the rumor. Persons -who left
Scenic late yesterday afternoon had
heard nothing of the rescue of the imprisoned passengers, and are inclined to doubt the etory. The telegraph
companies expect to get the line open
to Wellington today.
Tbe postal clerks from Seattle bave
taken charge of the mall removed from
the wreck. Great Northern detectives
ate with the men and are assisting
to guard the registered malls. The
storm which started las; night and
swept down the canyon to Scenic
•changed late last night into a drenching
rain, increasing the discomfort and
danger 4f the men at work digging for
bodies. The Great Northern expects
to bring the first bodies out by a train
scheduled, to leave Scenic tills afternoon. Most of the bodies will be taken
to Seattle, where they will be held
awaiting instructions from relatives.
WELLINGTON, Wash., March G.—
Six laborers are reported killed by
an avalanche that destroyed Cascade,
a small station east of the Cascade tunnel. A railroad section man said he
walked through Cascade and found
everything swept away but a cook
shack. Two men told him of the death
of six laborers.
SETTLE Wash., Merch 5.—The
body of R. H. Babel, of Seattle, formerly a civil engineer of New York, is
being brought down on the train. As
all the passengers were asleep when
the avalanche struck. There is some
delay In denttflcation of the bodies.
The first bodies found were mutilated,
'but those lowed down are unmarked
and the expression on the faces Ib that
of person who never awoke from Bleep.
S. B. -Coulter, foreman of the Kootenay Belle mine, came to Nelson on
Friday'morning, and yesterday gave the
following particulars regarding the
snow slide tbat came down last Sunday
evening and burled himself and his little son In five feet of snow.   He said:
"It was about 4:10 o'clock on last
Sunday evening, I had just came off
shift and was ln the office. My littls
boy was outside at the door and came
running In and said, TJaddy, there's a
slide coming.' He ran behind me and
as he caught hold of my coat said,
'we'll go together, daddy.'
"1 knew no more. In an instant I
was ln the avalanche. 1 was lying flat,
my arms outstretched and my hands
open. I could not close them as I was
so tightly jammed in the mass of hardened snow. I could hear the men
digging and did not give up hope of
being rescued.
"The men from the Vancouver and
Queen mine were on the scene In .a
few minutes. 1 heard them tramping
over me but I could not shout. There
was five feet of-snow over me and a
piece of timber across my back. I was
under the .snow about 40 minutes.
"My little boy was burled a few feet
away from me and was almost smotDV
ered, as the men at wofk In extricating
me were tramping over him all the
time not knowing tbat he was there.
When taken out his eyes, nose, and
ears were filled with snow and life-was
almost crushed out, but he was soon
'brought round again.
"The bunk-bouse, dry-room and office
were swept away; the roof was swept

SILENJJITY
Seventy Thousand Quit Work
in Philadelphia
AFFECTS I0UR MILLION
GIGANTIC CROWD PARADES THE
SQUARE—MOB VIOLENCE REPORTED' FROM EVERY QUARTER—NECESSARIES OF LIFE
EXEMPT
PHILADELPHIA, March S—Disorder
In many parts of the city .marked tha
lirst duy of I-hliadelphi-i's great sympathetic walkout of organized labor, lo
back up the tight of the trolley men
against the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company. Nearly every section of the
city uad it_ tale to tell of cars attacked and, men assaulted by strikers or
sympathizers or of the clashes with the
police.
The scene of the most general disturbances shifted from the heart of the
Kensington district to the very centre
of the city. The greatest trouble waa
experienced hy the Independents, despite Uie announcement of Mayor Rey-
burn that no demonstrations could be
held on the streets. Policemen, mounted and on foot, were there by the score
with strict orders to keep the crowds
moving. The city authorities had learned much during the last two weeks in
i..e handling of crowds, and it was tbe
belief that it the immense throng could
be kept moving the trouble would be
averted. This was accomplished and
it is due to the patience, carefulness
and steadiness of the police that no
serious outbreak occurred. A great
crowd of strikers paraded the square
and were not molested by the police.
There waa a wide dlflerence of opinion, today as to the extent ot the strike.
Saturday being a half holiday and in
some Industries no work being done,
at all on the last day of the week it
was utterly Impossible to get more
then a rough estimate of the number
of men that quit work. The committee
of the 10 Central Labor unions, which
is conducting the strike, in a statement
made tonight through C. A. Hope, secretary of the Central Labor, union, and
a .member of tlie committee, announced
that reports shewed that 70,000 men
are out and that the walkout has af-
teote-i: 3,890,000 oQher workers. Mr.
Hope declared that bakers, milk wagon
drivers and grocery clerks were not
called out and would not be. It was
not the desire of organized labor, he
said, to Inconvenience the public to tbe
extent of handicapping the delivery of
the necessaries of life.
The day developed nothing in the
street, car strike itself. The Rapid
Transit company had about Uie same
number of cars In operation as yesterday. It was noticed, however, that the
cars did not carry as many as on* other
days.
BUSINESS   IS   GROWING

Sixty-one Bodies Brought Out
PEORIA, Ills., March 5.—Telephonic
word was received today from Richard
Newsam, state Inspector that 61 bodies
of,miners were brought out of the St.
Paul mine at Cherry, Ills., today. Mr.

Two Go Over Falls
NIAGARA PALLS, N. Y., March 5.—
Two -men thrown from a little rowboat
that overturned In the current of the
Niagara river, one and one-half miles
above tbe falls thia afternoon, are reported by the state reservation officials
to have been swept over the Horseshoe falls. Employees of tbe reserve-,
tlon saw the overturning of tbe boat,
and watched the men struggle against
the curent, and witnessed the efforts
of one man to swim out. The wreck

FOR HUDSON oAY ROAD
DR. CHISHOLM SAY3 THE WEST IS
ENTITLED! TO   IT
SIXTY-FOUR      TRUjlK       RAILWAYS
ARE  NEEDED
OTTAWA, March 5—In the course of
ills contribution to the debate on the
Naval Service bill, Dr. Chisholm drew
attention to the military value which
th** opening ot the Hudson. Bay rout-j
would have lor ihe eniplie. He had
been dealing with the tusk of guarding
the line of Britain's food supply from
the St, Lawrence to the BriUsh Isles.
' ■.ne Hue of lood supply fiom Canada
would he very l&ng," he said, '"and a
(litticult one to guard.. I would propose
that we should open up the Hudson
Bay rente, that 'Would shorten the line
of Britain's food supply." Tills' line,
he argued, would be so much shorter
and easier to guard that it would materially lighten the burden of defense;
he put the saving at two Dreadnoughts.
Later on he spoke on the commercial
need for the opening or Hudson Bay.
"Now, sir," he said, "ihere Is just as
much fallacy current about, the navigation of the Hudson Buy as there waa
about our wheat lands. Tliere are certain power foil companies interested in
keeping the shores of the Hudson Bay
as a preserve. There Is another great
obstacle In the way and tbat Is our
transcontinental railways. Tliey are
very much opposed to opening up the
Hudson iBay route, because It will take
away their trade. I urn a big enough
Canadian to give western Canada ull
.her rights. I see no advantage in being so narrow minded. We have got
now four, lines of railway from Winnipeg to Fort William; we have got the
Canadian Northern, tho Grand Trunk
Pacific ..ami u double-tine of the Canadian Pacific and these have all they
can do. In the agricultural committee
the other day we were told that only
ti per cent of the available wheat lands
ln the west is under cultivation. Now
It is only a calculation for a ten year
eld boy to figure out. If 6 per cent
of the wheat lau-d in the northwest
requires lour lines of railway Jo move
the product, how many lines will it
require when the whole hundred per
cent is under cultivation? it will require 04 lines. Then why should we
dilly-dally about the opening up of the
Hudson Bay route?

BOMMMIT
Granby Company Secures
Big Group of Claims
Of THE PHOENIX CAMP
ACREAGE EQUAL TO PRESENT
HOLDINGS—IT IS EXPECTED
THAT LARGE ORE BODIES WILL
BE FOUND—EXPLORATION TO
START AT ONCE
PHOENIX. March 5—The Granby
Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power company bus secured a working
bond on the Summit group and a number of adjoining claims, covering about
lUt,0 acres. It. is one of the most important mining deals in the history of
Phoenix camp.
There ure about 20 full claims and
fractions involved, located about two
miles from Phoenix and the consideration Is about ?125,000. The bond covers a period of two years, tlie initial
payment to be made In 12 months.
Among those principally Interested in
the sale of the claims are G. W. Rum-
berger, L. Y. Blrnie, Thomas Roderick,
John Mulligan and E. D. Kerby of
Phoenix.
The acreage of the bonded claims is
about equal to the acreage of the Gran-
by's present holdings in Phoenix camp.
Veiy little development has been done
on the Summit claims, but from Indications it Is expected that exploratory
work Will reveal large bodies of ore
similar to those of the Granby mines.
The Granby company will spend a large
sum of money prospecting the properties under option with the diamond
drill. The contract has already been
let to Boyle Bros, of Spokane and drilling will commence Immediately.
The only new t-liipper fid** woek is tne

Stop Charter-Mongerlng
OTTAWA, March Th—A strong protest was made by Richard Blaln in the
house tonight against granting charters
to persons not Interested either in railways or ln the general development of
the country. Mr. Blaln said it was becoming too easy for speculators to get
a valuable charter with the special object of disposing of it for a large sum
of money, and he suggested thnt before any charters In 'he future «*eri
sold, the original promoters should br
compelled to come to the government
and get the authority of the governor
in council. Mr. Blaln thought this
would put a stop to the growing habit
of chartcr-mongerlng. The government
made no reply.

Caruso and Black Hand
NEW YORK, March 5—Caruso, the
tenor ts qiKikftis with something worse
than stage fright. The Black Hand has
demanded llo.oiifi qj his life in two successive letters. There is some disposition among his friends to regard tlie
letters as an ill-judged practical joke,
but Caruso Is convinced that bis days
are numbered and he will not venture
out of his room without a bodyguard.
The first letter instructed Caruso to
put the money In his pocket, stroll
along Broadway and give it to the first
man who asked him for a letter.- Caruso took tbe walk, with two detectives
behind him. Evidently the writer followed ills movements tor today came
a second letter saying: "When you
went ont yesterday you had two policemen with you. Uo not try to fool us
again; we meim business."
Instructions followed to leave the
money this time in a ling at a named
spot in Brooklyn and concluded with
threats to "get" Caruso on the street
or on the stage. Rut ber than, take n
chance in Brooklyn. Caruso lias determined lo trust to his bodyguard but
he goes out as little as possible.

CHARGES OF MURDER, ONE OF
MANSLAUGHTER, AND EIGHT
OF ATTEMPTED MURDER-
USED FEVER  GERMS
KANSAS CITY, Mo„ March 5.—A
charge, perhaps unique ln medico le-
.gal annals, certainly amazing, that a.
physician took advantage of Ills relations with his patients to Inoculate
them with typhoid fever germs, with
intent to kill them, is made in eight
indictments returned tonight against
Dr. Clarke Hyde, by the grand jury
that has been investigating the mysterious deaths of the Swope family for
three weeks.
Dr. Hyde, whose wife Is a niece of
the late Col. Thomas II. Swope, was-
indicted on Ui counts in 11 indictments.
Of these, two charge first degree murder In connection with the deaths of
Col. Swope and Christman Swope. Dr.
Hyde Is accused of giving them strychnine tablets.
One indictment accuses Hyde of manslaughter hy bleeding James Moss Hunter, a cousin of Col. Swope, In a neglectful manner.
The eight indictments charge attempted murder by typhoid germs, In
connection with the illness of Margaret Swope, Estella Swope, Lucy Lee
Swope, Nora Belle Dledson, George F.
Complon, Mildred Fox, and Leonora
Coperidge, the last named a colored
girl. All these persons were stricken
with typhoid fever while Hyde was attending the Swope family professionally.
Three counts in the indictment
charge the poisoning of Miss Margaret
Swope. The first count charges that he
attempted to poison ber by administering typhoid fever germs on or about
Nov. 25. The second accuses him of
trying to poison her by giving a hypodermic Injection on Dec. 12. In the
third count he is alleged to have attempted poisoning on Dec. 18 by stry-
clinyne and other poisons.
Capiases for the arrest of Dr. Hyde
will not be issued until Monday. He
is at present under a $50,000 bond in
connection with the case now pending
agaist him in Justice Loear's court In
Independence, charging him with murder of Col. Swope.
Dr. Hyde received the news of the Indictments calmly.
Creston News Notes
CRESTON, March 5—The 'ball given
by tne ladies of Creston a couple of
evejiings ago in the Mercantile hall,
was a record breaker as it far outclassed any of the many successful dances
given heretofore. /jjThe novelty of the
whole affair beiii*4$*under the manage-
men t of the lad Us fal rly capt tired
every] guest. The ladies "butt in two-
step" created no end of fun. As floor
manager Miss Hat/tie French proved
herself equal to the occasion a_uou_c-
Ing the dances in quite an ettioient
style. Tlie set dances were called ofP
by C. J. Stephens, who gave good set-
istactlon. Dainty refresh meats were
served by the fair hostesses aflter whloh
dancing was kept up until after 3
o'clock the following morning. Special
praise is due Miss Howarth and Miss
French who along with the other ladles
made the affair so very enjoyable. It
has been suggested that, proving themselves such admirable hostesses, poiv
sibly the ladles of Crestom might 'In* induced to take the sole manug-e-m-ent of
a series of dances to run from, now to
say May or until the hot weaither sets
in. If such would be the case the citizens of Creston would be granted a
rare treat.
The Dominion government according
to a dispatch from Ottawa is about to
start the erection of a new' industrial
school at the Catholic mission near
Creston. This new school will be large
enough to accommodate 40 pupils and
will be In charge of two sisters oil the
Roman Catholic church.
0. J. Wigem of Wyndell station, six
miles from Creston was In town yesterday transacting business. Mr. Wigen
expects to have four acres of strawberries this soasou which will produce
over 2000 crates of 24 boxes each. Each
season Mr. Wigen employs from .10 to
40 Indians 1o do the picking and he
says that these native sons are good
workers. Mr. Wigen strongly -advises
that new beginners in the strawberry
business should start with not more
than a quarter of an acre the first year
and gradually increase the crop. Mr.
Wigen Is the recognized pioneer strawberry grower of this district. He is
making a good fortune by growing
these berries.

Dropsy—
Given up by Doctor
"I had dropsy, and was told
by my family physician that
there was no chance for me. My
family also gave me up. My
limbs and body were swollen
one-third larger than natural,
water collected around my heart
and I had to be propped up in
bed to keep from smothering. I
took Dr, Miles' Heart Remedy
until I was entirely cured. This
was in 1902, and I am now able
to do any kind of work on my
farm. My cure was certainly
marvelous."
L. TURLEY CURD,
Wilmore, Ky.
Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy has
been wonderfully successful in
relieving heart trouble. Its tonic
effect upon the heart nerves and
muscles is a great factor in
assisting nature to overcome
heart weakness.

ROAD   APPROPRIATIONS
"_ GOVERNMENT  PROVIDING  FOR
TRUNK HIGHWAYS
BELT TO REACH FROM COAST TO
ALBERTA
• (Special  Correspondence.)
VICTORIA, March 1—The estimates
which were passed by the legislature
■tills week, while the division of the
. various votes by electoral districts
does not of course show the continuity
of that project. Include substantial provision in the public works votes for
advancing well towards completion the
project so dear to the heart of the
present minister of that department,
Mr. Taylor—the construction of the in-
ter-provlnclal trunk road, through from
the Coast of British Columbia to an ultimate connection with the -provincial
system of Alberta at Crows Nest.
The aggregate votes which will contribute not only to improve facilities of
transport and communication in the
various districts traversed ibut at tlie
same time to the working out ofi tbe
through trunk road programs amount
to about |60000 ln addition to which
two steel bridges are contemplated for
the necessary crossing of the Columbia
an-d Kootenay, which will eventually
require an expenditure of approximately
^100,000 ln each instance. The appropriations provided for in the present
estimates will permit of very great
progress being made In the working
out of the grand trunk road plan* so
that another twelvemonth should see
the minister's dream well on the way
to realization as a fact accomplished.
massing first through the districts of
Delta and Chilliwack the trunk road
will primarily utilize the famous Westminster-Yale highway leading to the
historic town of Hope. From this
point access Is gained with the old
sappers and miners' road, on which -also
a considerable sum will ibe expended.
There is then a slight hiatus in the
plan. In consequence of the necessity
of obtaining further authoritative data
In respect to lowest possible gradients
on the further side of the Hope mountains, the department already having
secured its necessary information with
regard to comparative snowfall and kindred essential details. The section thus
requiring a further prosecution of engineer's Investigations during the coming summer, lies between Hope and
Princeton, from which later embryo
city connection will be had with Trail
by roads already constructed.
At or near Trail it ls intended to
bridge the Columbia with a massive
steel structure, to be located in the
vicinity of Rock Island and upon which
a commencement will be made during
the coming year.
From Trail the trunk road will lead
to the vicinity of Creston by an extension and improvement of the Sheep
creek road and, after its connection
witii the old Dewdney trail, by an enlargement and conversion of that well
known pathway of the prospector,
which gives access upon the Kootenay
river, across which It will ibe necessary
to ttirow still another Immense steel
bridge, presumably ln the locality of
Kootenay Landing, which  bridge  will
cost approximately as much as that to
span the Columbia at Trail, and be of
similar character and solidity, being designed to accommodate railway as well
as vehicular traffic in the future.
From Creston the road Is already
completed as far as Kitchener, a distance of ten miles, From Kitchener the
road leads by the way of Goatfell and
the route of the Crow's Nest Pass railway to Moyle, whence It is intended to
make use of the old "tote" road of the
O.P.R., which will require considerable
improvement. From Moyle to Cranbrook the road Is opened through but
will require repairing and improvement
generally, together with some bridging
to put it In the requisite first class
condition.
On from Cnarabrook the inter-provin-
clal trunk road skirts the C.P.R.
through to Wardner, this section being
now completed and In fairly good con- j
dltlon. From Wardner to Elko also the *
road Is completed and tills summer It
ls proposed to link up Elko with Mor-
rlssey, In.which connection there are
several small bridges to be repaired,
costing from ?2000 to 14000 each. From
Morrlssey the road is built through to
Michel, from which point another nine
miles must be built to connect with
Crow's Nest, on the Alberta boundary,
where union is made with the provincial system of Alberta.
Tbe authorities of that sister province are at the present time making
provision for the extension of their
general road system up the eastern
slo|>e of the Rockies to afford tlie -desired connection.

When Starting on That Winter Trip
Forget NEWBRO'S
HERPICIDE
One of the Essentials
On your winter vacation you will most certainly want a bottle of Herplclde. Thla is doubly true If your trip contemplates a visit to a warmer climate. It Is under conditions of warmth and humidity that the vlciousness of
the dandruff germ is particularly noticeable.
AS  IMPORTANT  AS  HER TOOTH BRUSH.
"I find Newbro's Herplclde very beneficial for dandruff. I would
no more think of going on a journey without ii bottle of Herplclde
than I would without my tooth powder. By using it often und
thoroughly I find I do not require a shampoo as frequently and my
hair Is much nicer."
Mrs. M. J. Wiltse.
AN  OPINION  FROM THE  WORLD'S GREATEST  LADY  RIFLE SHOT.
"Traveling as I do—almost continuously. 1 have been troubled a
great deal with dandruff und falling hair and until 1 tried Herplclde
I never fond a remedy that was satisfactory.
Herplclde Is a delightful preparation  and fulfills tlie claims you
make for it and no lady's toilet is complete without it.
I heartily recommend it to my friends." Annie Oakley.
The germ Is always busy. There Is no escape except in the use at regular
intervals of Newbro's Herplclde. Herplclde carries sure and certain death to
this germ and is the one really reliable remedy.
An Imitation or something just as good won't do. Insist on having genuine
Herplclde. ij.*.; '

Fort George is the
Coming Country.
Inexhaustible soil fine ell mate good water almost tropical vegetation; an ideal weat growing, stock raising or dairying country.
While there are large areas of good land, the amount close to
transportation fs limited; it has all been taken up for pre-emption
or purchased during the last few years.
Buy 160 acres. But it now—quick—"before the rush begins and
your fortune will be made beca use Mils land which you cani buy now
for J7 to $10 per acre on very easy terms right along the river and
railroad will soon command $u0 to $100 per acre. This is not speculation—it Is u good solid investment. We do not believe., there is
another to "equal it in Canada today when you consider that your
capital is absolutely secure. ,
Remember, we guarantee the quality of the land. If you examine it within any reasonable time and find you can do better, we -will
cheerfully return all yon have paid. We know the land will be
advancing ln value right along
We'have 50,000 acres of specially selected land close to the
Fraser, north and south of Port George. To actual settlers who
will buy immediately and get in there in time to grow a crop this
year, we will make almost any kind of terms, because we wish to
demonstrate to the thousands who will -soon be pouring Into that
country the remarkably fertility of the soli. Many times the price
of the land' can be made from the first crop.
The first payment and sufficient capital to procure an outfit and
live thia summer ls all that ls needed—the land will do the rest.
Hither for actual settlement or as an investment it is an unequalled
opportunity, in 30 -days or less lt will be gone. .Would you like to
buy a quarter section of this land at say $1800 on easy terms and sell
it inside of five years at $60 per acre or $8000? This is what will
happen just as sure aa the sun wilt rise tomorrow. We believe before that time the land will command double that amount. Get literature, photographs and surveyor's report; do It now; half the
amount we have to sell on these terms is gdne. Time Is money.
We are getting our literature about Fort George land which will
answer'all the questions you want to know; photographs showing
how the land lies surveyor's reports, maps, etc

Prominent Liberals in this city and
throughout the Interior of British Columbia have been written to with the
idea of getting their views as to the
advisability of holding an interior convention. Tt Is pointed out that the te-
sults of the last provlncla1 election'
were caused by the lack of thorough
organization on the part of the Liberals of this province. A significant
paragraph in the communication reads:
"Elections are not won the day before
election, but as you are aware they are
won only by constant and steady work
from one election to another, therefore
lt is essential that we should get to
work at the earliest possible opportunity.'* The circular further states that
"matters of practical organization affecting the upper country districts
could be taken up and It would show
to the whole province that the Liberals
of this section of the province are not
by any means 'down and out,' but are
distinctly in the fight." If the proposed
convention materializes, it will in all
probability be held in Nelson.

This is a view of the laboratory in Lynn, Mass., in which
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is made.
There is a sign 5 feet long and 2$ feet wide attached, permanently,
to the front of the main building which reads as follows:
Public inspection Invited —from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M.
—Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.
What does this sign mean ?
It means that public inspection of the laboratory and methods of
doing business is honestly desired. It means that there is nothing
about the Pinkham business whidi is not" open and above-board."
It means that a permanent invitation is extended to anyone to
come and verify the statements made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made exclusively
from roots and herbs ?
Come and See for Yourself.
Do the women of America continually use as much of it as we
are told ?
Oome and See for Yourself.
Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there
any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick women are asked to write f
Come and See for Yourself.
Is the vast private correspondence with sick women conducted

Have they really got letters from more than a million women ?
Come and See for Yourself.
Have they proof that Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has cured thousands of these women f

This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of
women who know from their own personal experience that no
medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female ills will still go on using and being benefited by it;
but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own sake, be
taught confidence, for she also might just as well regain her health.

Vancouver Inside Properly
If you can buy an interest in a property for $100—Vancouver Inside property—revenue bearing—SUt edged property, collect $30 annual revenue, nnd then find tbat your property has grown in value to
?!100; that's making money pretty fast, Isn't It?
And the beauty of It Is that you don't bave to take a chance.
That Is the dlEference between speculation and Investment	
Do you know, there are buildings in Vancouver that are paying
back their first cost every three years, and advancing in value every
day, too.
But the average investor cannot take advantage of the opportunities to invest in Inside property—the initial outlay being greater than
lie can filnance—except on one system—Business Units—Our System—
and applied to the very highest form of revenue producing investing nt—Apartment House property.
Listen—The Pacific Investment Croporatlon, Limited has purchased
for tho sum of $25,000 a double corner 132x132 feet, the southeast corner of Davie and Jervls streets, the very fines*, apartment building site
in Vancouver's exclusive West End.
The company Is going to erect the finest and most up to date fi-

A SAFE  ROUTE
IThe reports being received from all
directions of awful avalanches attended
by devastation and wholesale loss of
lire give startling warning of the danger of travel ln mountainous districts
during the weeks when the spring
thaws are likely to lead to consequences
so disastrous as those which have recently swept hundreds of lives to instantaneous destruction.
The balmy breezes of early spring,
which unlock the frozen ground and
usher In the fruitful glories of summer,
let loose a power before which the
puny works of man crumble like a
house of cards. In its relentless course
the mighty avalanche sweeps before It
like straws the giants of the forest,
engull's whole cities, and hurls to destruction iralnloads of human freight.
With earthquake and Hood the avalanche Is among the direst ofi the manifestations of Nature's ImplacaMe and
resistless force.
This year the avalanche has already
taken more than its usual toll. The
overwhelming of portions of the towns
of Mace and Burke, the awful aocldent
to the Great Northern passenger train
at Wellington, and now the terrible
disaster at Roger's Pass, not to mention scores of minor catastrophes, make
a formiuable death roll of victims of
the terrible rush of snow down the
mountain-, side. With hardly a moment's
warning scores of Jives have been
snuffed out. The terror of ithe disaster
Is increased by man's helplessness in
face of the danger and by his inability
to ward off the threatening disaster.
.•Fortunately the peril in some localities is Infinitely less than In others.
The contour of the mountains along
the Crow's Nest Pass route of the Canadian Pacitic railway makes snowslldes
Infrequent, and at this season of the
year the Crow'B Nest line Is comparatively safe for travel when what Ib now
the main line may be extremely perilous. The extension of the Crow's
Nest line would make available at this
time of year a safe route through the
mountains. It would be an advantage
t hat would be a iboon to the public and
that would benefit the company.
While travelling is as hazardous as at
present the volume of traffic is decreased, for few are inclined to risk
their lives If there Is a possibility or
avoiding the danger by staying at
home. With the completion of tlie
Crow's Nest Hue (Into Nelson and with
the building of a direct line from here
to the Pacific the Canadian Pacific
railway would possess at all seasons of
the year a safe and tellable route from
coast to coast.
and they can congratulate themselves
on the accomplishment of their purpose.
The withdrawal of the Conservative
members, as a protest against the evident intention of the majority of the
committee to render the investigation
abortive will make a continuance of the
enquiry a conspicuous farce, ibut the Investigation would have been equally
farcical if the designs of tlie majority
of the committee had been permitted
to prevail
The demeanor of the Liberal members will conillrm the Impression that
the Lumsden charges have created, i:,
there is nothing in Mr. Lumsden's accusations, as Liberals protest, why this
evident eagerness to stifle enquiry?
The course taken by the Liberal members of the committee is exactly what
might have beeft expected If they were
convinced of the truth of Mr. Lumsden's churges and bent on making the
investigation a (means of whitewashing
the government.
First they objected to the proposal
that counsel should be appointed witii
the object of bringing out evidence.
When they realized that this position
was untenable they consented to the
appointment of counsel, but only on
the condition that they retain the right
to nominate their own man. To proceed with the Investigation under such
circumstances would be futile, and the
Conservative members of the committee have marked tlielr realization of
the uselessm-ss of an investigation conducted under such conditions. Without
counsel the enquiry would have been
a sham. With counsel appointed and
instructed by the government there
would have heen--no better prospeot of
disclosing the facts which the government seeks to hid.
The government's administration is
called in question. It is the government 'that la accused. But the government will only .submit to trial by a
court In which it Is the judge, and in
which it has the appointment of the
prosecuting attorney. Tbat ls not the
attitude of' innocence.
A  FARCICAL   ENQUIRY
The investigation into the Lumsden
charges wilt prove a fiasco. That appears to be what the Liberal members
of the Investigating committee desire,

RICH   BODY   OF   CLEAN   ORE   HAS
BEEN   LOCATED
COMPANY  HAS   EXTENSIVE  PLANS
OF   DEVELOPMENT
(Snoclikl correspondence.)
MOYIE, B.C., March 5—A rich body
of clean ore has been struck on tbe
Society Girl mine here im the east
drift from the No. 2 tunnel where
three feet or ore was encountered. The
No. 2 tunnel has been driven 1180 feet.
At this point drifting was started both
east und west at right angles with the
tunnel and the ore was found about 30
feet on ..jo east side. The' company
will determine the full extent of the ore
at   the  earliest: possible moment.
Tbe directors have prepared a report which in the course of a few days
will be sent out to the shareholders.
Since the annual meeting held on June
6 last some 656 teet of drifting has
■been done. The No. 2 tunnel taps the
vein at 1160 feet which is nearly at
right angles with the tunnel. Some «G
feet of drifting through concentrating
ore has been done on the vein and
some stringers of clean shipping ore
were encountered. The mine is well
equipped with buildings and a large
blacksmith shop has been built since
the annua) meeting.
The company -hns outlined a systematic plan of development which ls to

HIS DAUGHTER KNEW THE
RIGHT REMEDY
TO Our* Kidney Trouble
The United States Is all right, you
know, but Uncle Sam's doctors have not
found a cur*- for serious Kidney Trouble.
When sick folks down there want to get
well, they send to Canada for Gin Pills.
At least, tbat is the way Mr. H. S.Bali,
of Oxford, Ohio, was cured of a bad case
of Kidney Disease.
Mr. Ball took the usual remedies prescribed by tbe doctors, and wore plasters,
and was rubbed with liniments—but
steadily grew worse . In a letter to his
daughter, who lived in Canada, Mr. Ball
wrote of bis serious condition ., His
daughter immediately sent him two
boxes of Gin Pills, which did him so much
good tbat lie knew lie had found the
right remedy at last.
July 25th, 1909.
"Find enclosed one dollar for which
Elease send me two boxes of Gin Pills.
[y daughter sent me two boxes and I
had a bod case and am getting well fast.
1 find lots'of men down here in the same
fix that I was in, and I shall surely recommend Gin Pills lo everybody,"
H. S. BALL.
GinPillsareaproduct that every Canadian may take pride in, and one that
thousands endorse. They are made by
the largest wholesale drug house in Canada, who fully guarantee every box. In
fact, Gin Pills are sold with a positive
guarantee. If, after taking Gin Pills
according to directions, you can honestly
say that they have not done you any
good, simply return the empty boxes to
your dealer and your' money will be
promptly refunded.

the property In excellent condition before the annual meeting ln June next.
A large sized audience greeted the

Mr. George Andrews of Halifax, N.S.,
writes:
"For many years I have been troubled
with chronic. Constipation. This ailment never comes single-handed, and I
have been a victim to the many Illnesses
that constipation brings in Us train.
Medicine after medicine I have taken in
order to find relief, but one and all left
me in the same hopeless condition. It
seemed that nothing would expel from
me the one ailment that caused so much
trouble, yet at last I read about these
Indian Root Pills.
That was indeed a lucky day for me,
for I was so impressed with tne statements made that I determined to
give them a fair trial.
They have regulated my stomach and
bswels. I am cured of constipation, and
I claim they have no equal as a medicine."
For over half a century Dr. Morse's
Indian Root Pills have been curing constipation and clogged, inactive kidneys,
with all the ailments which result from
them. They cleanse the whole system
and purify the blood. Sold everywhere

with a lot of new plays.
•«,«m_Bn?mB Moilday evening the Summers stock company will open a week's
engagement with "The Lion and the
Mouse." with Miss Belle Stevenson In the
leading role as the girl who discovers the
human side of the great trust manipulator.
The compuny come well recommended and
their plans are said to be well selected and
well put on.
The Gem theatre promises Its patrons a
nne program for this week. Dolllver and
Rogera, two charming young ladles, will
appear In a novelty singing and dancing
■act. These young ladies are credited with
having one of the best acts on the Webster
circuit, as well as the best wardrobe.
Fleming nnd Love will be on the Job with
a high class musical comedy act. Jack
£ leming Is known as the "tramp Violinist, and Miss "Joe" Love is a Lyric soprano of recognized ability. Tlie management have been fortunate enough to hold
the two clever Tyrell children over' for
another week, and they will appear In
several changes through the week. Two
good reels of pictures will complete the
bill.
Monday  evening    the    brilliant  polltico-
 ^^n^mi_^5a
II be presented dt the Nelson
drama.    "The,
mlanclftl
-ofcnr-frWriS1 by" tIie~~Summera Stock company-of* players. It Is very generally, conceded that this la the most successful production of this company, and Tts revival
should attract a large audience. The story
of the play is told In forcible and clever
dialogue. The situations are Intensely dramatic, and the action is simple and tin-
Involved. The greed of gain being the
motive of the play, ft will require no
explanation to a modern audience wltness-
ings, as they do, In the ordinary circumstances of life the effects of the same consuming passion. Mist- Stevenson makes a
very decided hit In her portrayal of the
part of Judge RosBmore's daughter, who,
for the most part of the play, is engaged,
or at least tacitly engaged, to young Ryder, whose masterful father Is the dominating figure of the drama. Not content
with overshadowing Wall street, and dominating the Chicago wheat pit, Ryder attempts to enforce his will on the members
of his family, with disastrous results, and
ance more dominates the fact that a man
cannot be a "hero to his valet," or at hia
own fireside wholly aa a financier. It in
necessary that he should be human as well
as wealthy. Anyone who enjoys literary
dialogue, virile drama without mawklsh-
nesH, or ineptitudes, should vialt the opera
house on Monday evening and witness
"The Lion and the Mouae."
In the moving picture world the great
demand Is for up-to-date pictures of the
world's happenings. The Empire theatre
Is not behind hand In this reaped, and on
Monday and -Tuesday evenings of this
week one will be able to aee at that
theatre motions pictures of "The Great
Flood at Paris," in January of this year,
when the river Seine broke its bounds,
causing great havoc. The Dim can only
be kept here for two days as It has to be
rushed on to Vancouver Immediately.
Other pictures on the program will be,
"The Little Busy Body," and "A Fool for
Luck,"
Miss Badgley's dramntlc presentations at
Eagle hall on Monday night promise a rare
treat to those who enjoy finished acting
and elocution. Miss Baugley ls of Irish,
descent and her Irish renditions ln dialect
are charming, ln addition to her undoubted ability she possesses the personal
charm, refinement and tempermental qualities that aie sure to bring her the largest
success in her chosen calling. Miss Badgley

Bagle hall on Monday evening. Performance begins punctually ut 8.30.

off the stable und the main portion of
tho building filled with snow. There
was one horse In the stable at the
time of the slide. He was found in.the
stall packed tight in the snow. His
head was all that could be seen. He
was taken out uninjured with the exception of a few scratches. My wife
was In the cook-house at the time and
escaped the slide. This is my second
experience In snow slides. Thirteen
years ago I was caught In the Porto
Rico slide and was carried several hundred feet down the mountain, but the
snow wus soft and I was able to dig
myself out." <*
Mr. Coulter and his little son are
none the worse for their thrilling experience •
C. W. Riley came to Nelson from
Ymir yesterday. He reports serious
snow -slides in that district. On Tuesday morning a slide which broke the
penstock of the flume came down carrying with it a mass of timber and
gathering all the snow In its course,
which was five feet deep on the level.
It cleared a path for 700 or 800 feet,
taking with it most of the buildings at
the Ymir mine, which includes boiler
house, engine room and al! the machinery, also the blacksmith shop und a
store house, which contained a lot of
valuable supplies. The concussion
moved a dwelling house some feet from
Its foundation. The stamp mill was
tbe only one of the buildings that, escaped.

superintendent's residence, which Is located a short distance from the buildings that were swept away. He was
In bed when the slide struck the building. Breaking in the window It filled
the room with snow and had It not
been for the assistance of Mr. Bensen,
who was staying with him he would
have been smothered.
A slide came down at the Wlllcock
mine on Thursday last, taking with it
the hunk-house and boarding-house connected with the mine, leaving one end
of the kitchen standing. There were
nine men at work In the tunnel and
Dan Chisholm and Allan McDonald,
who were working on night shift were
In the bunk-house when the slide struck
it. They were carried two or three
hundred feet down the mountain and
were burled in the snow. Both were
rescued soon after but Mr. McDonald
had liis collar bone and arm broken
and Mr. Chlsbolm's back was injured.
Dr. Danks was summoned from Y-mir.
Both men were removed to Ymir hospital and are now on the way to recovery. All the clothing, trunks and valuables that were in the buildings were
destroyed.

NEW WESTMINSTER, February 19—Tremendous activity Is now reported by looal realty dealera for
orooertv ln New Westminster and vicinity. The land registry returns for the past eight <tay« show prop-
enfto the vaL oTjeoMOO to have changed hands. On February 1st »l,OO0,OOO worth of property was
transferred on that day alone. A flurry In Sapperton property h*s ^n™**** lately A *»** «"-***
on Columbia street and adjacent to the Sapperton school was sold this morning tor 116.000, H. C. Major
being one of the sellers. Workmen at present are engaged at Sapperton in erecting a J30.000 meat pack-
Ing plant for the Prince Rupert Meat company, and also a gang are preparing a site for the factory of
th! Western Canada Bag, Envelope & Boxboard company. The announcement has been made that a
paper factory will be erected soon near the Fraser River Mills hy Messrs D. Smith. Davidson and
Wright, and the new Royal Columbia Hospital to cost $100,000 will be built this year ln Sapperton.—Province, Feb. 20.
For two years we have been steadily urging our
Clients to buy property in Burnaby, close to Westminster, between the B. C Electric and the Great
Northern Railway between the Cities
We .'arteil in Willi 33 foot lots at $100 each, they advanced to 5150, then to J200, then to ?250, and
on the first day of May even- lot we have left In our Burnaby Additions will be advanced to "300. They
are still the greatest snaii be-hveen the two cities at that price and before next fall there will not be a
lot in this neighborhood at less than J600, and probably S1000. .',.„.
There is more actual development going on right in thls dlstrtctthan In any other place outside the two
cities and the prices ot the lots are the lowest. Before two months we believe everything will have
doubled Tlie municipality is spending $50,000.00 in streets through ana around our subdivisions. The
Canadian Northern will soon be building. The new B. C. Electric car line Is being rushed, manufacturing
sites are being secured almost dally,  they will employ several thousand men.
There Is no other city in Canada with the population of Westminster where property is as low considering her wonderful natural resources and immediate prospects. If you do not buy now you will have
to pay more, every day you delay you are just losing money. Send in your deposit and let us send you
a ulue print, so that you can make your selection if you cannot come to the office.

harbor of St. John. Thla is similar to
the Gasperaux case. The same favored
company, the Maritime Dredging &
Construction company, was given the
work on condition that lt did it for
the figures of the lowest accepted tender, weeks before the advertisement appeared. A competitor who wished to
tender was refused all Information hy
the government officials.
6. The Courtnay Bay dredging contract. Here there were two tenders,
which competed. That of the Maritime
Dredging company was the lower by
1156,000, on a work which would somewhat exceed $4,000,000 of expenditure.
The Maritime Dredging company, accordingly got the contract. But when
the contract was made out, it was allowed its competitor's figures. In defence, a Becond tender from the favored
company was produced. But no second
call for tenders had been Issued.
7. The Pink Rock case. Here Mr.
Pugsley is bnlilding an extension to a

The Liberals are so angry that the
St. John Telegraph a Liberal newspaper, largely owned by John E. Moore of
the Maritime Dredging company, has
expressed a hope in suitably veiled
language, that some local ruffian will
assault Mr. Crocket, who has been active
in uncovering these rascalities.

ABOUT SWEET WILLIAM
HIS   NEW BRUNSWICK   SCANDALS
ARE SEVEN
SAWDUST    WHARVES  AND    RAKE-
OFFS CONSPICUOUS
OTTAWA, March 5.—The committee
of public accounts 1ms been busy this
session with Hon. William Pugsley's
management of his own province of
New Brunswick. Here Is the result up
to date:
1. The sawdust wharf at Richibucto.
a party heeler bought a ruinous wharf
in May, 1908, for $700 and Bold It to
the government ln September, 1908, in
the heat of the election, for $5,000.
2. The same party heeler waa "conductor," 1. e. foreman, In repairing a
government wharf at Richibucto. He
bought lumber some of it at $(J and $7
per thousand, and put in hlB bill for
the whole lot at $12 per thousand.
3. The Oaspereaux dredging. A favored company was put to work before
the tenders were opened, on the understanding that it was to do the work
at the lowest accepted price tendered.
Other firms might tender, but were
sure not to get the work. In the end
the company got 00 cents a cubic yard
for work which the government engineers had reported was worth only 20
cents.
4. The Dalhousie dredging. Here
the government dredging was done, not
opposite the public wharf, but opposite
a wharf owned by the Dalhousie Lum-

STOMACHSJFEEL FINE
INDIGESTION,     HEARTBURN,     GAS
AND   DYSPEPSIA  VANISH
DIAPEPSIN     ENDS    MISERY    FROM
STOMACH IN  FIVE MINUTES
As there Is often some one in your family who suffers un attack of Indigestion
or some form of stomach trouble, why
don't you keep some Diupcpsln In the
house  handy?
This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest
discomfort, and overcome a sour, gassy
stomach five minutes after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read the
formula plainly printed on these cO-cent
cases of Pape's Dlapepsln, then you will
readily see why It makes indigestion, sour
stomach, heartburn and other distress go
in five minutes and relieves' at once such
miseries as belching of gas, eructations
of sour undigested food, nausea, headaches, dizziness, constipation und other
stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to find
relief from indigestion and dyspepsia or an
out-of-order stomach with tlie common
every-day cures advertised thnt they have
about made up tlielr minds that they
have something else wrong, or believe
theirs Is a case of nervousness, gastritis,
tiitaiTli of the stomach or cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, what you eat does
not digest; Instead, It ferments and sours,
turns to acid, gus and stomach poison,*
which putrilY In the digestive track and
intestines, and, hesiilcs, poison the breath
with nauseous odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough digestion, und without tlie slightest discomfort
or misery of the stomach, is waiting fur
you ns soon as you decide to try Pape's
Diapepsin.

YMIR, March 5—Ymir Is not without
her quota of disasters in the way of
snowslldes In common with the rest ot
tli© country, although to date tliere has
been no loss of life reported.
The worst from a financial point of
view Is the case of the Ymir mine.
The boiler room with the 1)01161-3. dynamo and superintendent's house were
all completely wrecked recently, tlie
watchmen having a very narrow escape.
A conservative estimate of damage sustained will reach at least $15,000.
The Wilcox mine was the scene of
another snowslide on March 2 which
caused considerable damage. Their
bunkhouse and dining room were carried away, leaving the kitchen, but they
were not so fortunate in casualties.
Allan McDonald and Dan. Chisholm who
were off shift and asleep both sustained severe Injuries nnd are both in the
hospital as a result, .The latter will
probably be laid up for a couple of
months. The loss to the Wilcox will
probably be about $1500.
Harry L. Rodgers Is in New York on
business In connection with the Yankee
Gir] Mines.
Ore shipments fiom the Yankee Girl
Mines Is suspended on account of the
■condition of the wagon toad to the
mine.
James and George Bremner, brothers
of mine host of t'ne Ymir hotel, are
spending a few days in town visiting.
A dance and good time generally
was in order last night at the hall, tlie
occasion being the return of Charles
McDonald with his bride. The happy
couple launched their barque on the
uncertain sea of matrimony at the residence of the brides' uncle at Castlegar
and will make Ymir their future home.
Both are well and favorable known
in town and. begin their new life with
the nest wishes of many friends.
Active work will soon ibegin on the
