RAILWAY COMMISSION HANDS
DOWN ANOTHER JUDGMENT
OF  FIRST  RATE   IMPORTANCE.
OTTAWA, June 22 — The Morning
Ciuzen, conservative, supports the militia department in its new policy of dis-
.-icouraging nwtary units from visiting
■the United states on July 4. It says
•the action of Canadian troops in assisting to celefbrate a successful revo-
luition against British arms might be
misconstrued and it is certainly not appropriate -that British) troops -should
take part in such celebrations.
The department of public work® has
let a contract for an experimental station to test the value of pteat as a pro-
[ ducer of gas. A station will cost $i3,-
000. In .view of the great deposits of
peat which exist in Ontario and Quebec
it is expected that the experiment will
be followed by important results.
Commissioner McLean of tihe railway
board today handed down the judgment
oi the board respecting complaints
wnich > have arisen in regard to traffic
moving over the railways when moving on through rates tot it should not
be charged higher toll than w,ould have
been obtained from a combination of a
number of local rates between the same
points. In the course of the judgment
the *commiss1oner says there is a dispov
giUoa on the part of the railways to
admit that where through rates exceed
a combinjation of locals *'^he matter
should be corrected. The commissioner
points out that the interstate commerce commission in the United States
in dealing with similar ■complaints decided thjat through rates should not exceed a combination of locals and concludes Ms judgment as follows: "In my
opinion it is sufficient to say that the
charging of a joint rate in exces© of
locals is prima facie unreasonable and
a discriminatory practice, and that the
onus of disproof should ,in individual
complaints, ibe on the '• railways con**
cerned.? '^$*.(£
. Mr. -—Lean does not consider it expedient or necessary that an order
based on the judgment should be issued because discussion which has
taken place has been such as to make
.'clear the policy of the board.
The sitting of railway commissioners will be held at Fort WiUia^oh
July 15, and SuAfttqry on the 19th.
. A challenge shield will tbe given by
the governor general to that town or
city with 5000 inhabitants or over, or

ANOTHER LABOR DISPUTE
Canadian Northern Employees Will
Ask for Board
WINNIPEG, June '22—That a board
of investigation and conciliation will
be asked for from the dominion government by. the Brotherhood of Looo-
mtive Engineers of the Canadian Northern within the next few days was tbe
opinion expresssed by operating employees of that company this morning.
The committee of engineers has been
for the past week conferring with general manager McLeod and general superintendent -Cameron. As a result of
the negotiations the engineers and the
officials seem to be farther apart than
they were at the beginning. The requests -by the men have appfrrentiiy
been all or almost all refused by the
company and nothing has been* conceded, 'ihe engineers state that the
union schedule and rate of pay although that was of great importance,
was not the most important matter. No
actual statement was issued by the
presss committee of the union covering
tihe points at issue hut it is known that
the committee and the officials during
the week discussed the cases of several men who have been dismissed from
the service, the company apparently
refusing to reinstate tn-em. The company state- 'tnat their work here is now
completed. They were sent to the city
to represent the brotherhood and tiny
have completed we work which- they
were asxed to do. A report will be
made and further 'instructions will be
' given by the men to the committee.

and size to depth, in accordance with the
characteristics of the Sheep creek camp.
With regard to the work which has

shipment to the smelter, in addition to
the three veins mentioned above there
were a couple of smaller* veins lower on
the hill running from 8 to 10 inches in
width and showing fair milling values.

HOLD-UP 0N_MAIN LINE
C. P. R. EXPRESS STOPPED EAST
OF DUCKS.
BANDITS GET NOTHING OF VALUE
BUT ESCAPED.
VANCOUVER, June 22—The east
bound C. P. R. express, due here at
9:30 this morning, was held up shortly before midnight just east of Ducks.
Six men participated in the hold,up
who later disappeared at Shuswap.
Lake where they took a boat to cross
to the north shore. The men otbained
nothing for their pains as No. 97 carries merely locked express cars and
has no messenger or safe. They punched holes'in three express cars but not
being rewarded for their, trouble are
said to have left without any booty.
It is thought that the robbers intended
to attack the express from St. Paul
which picked up ninety bars of silver-
lead bullion from Trail for the Orient
at Revelstoke. This was valued at
$30,000 but could not well have been
carried/off as-Jt' weighed about 6000
pounds.
According to the story of the train
crew two men evidently boarded the
/tender at Notch Hill. Shortly after
leaving the place they' crawled over
the tender and at the point of the revolver ordered the engineer to stop
at a signal near Ducks. The signal
light appeared a few moments later
and the engineer slowed down to find
four men around a bon fire all armed
with rifles. One discharged 'his rifle
twice, evidently to intimidate the
passengers and other members of tlie
crew. The leader of. the gang forced
tlie fireman to take an axe and break
in the panels of the express cars so
that heads might be thrust through.
Having found nothing valuable in
either car the gang went to the mail
car. Here elerk J. McRae had secreted the registered mall on understanding the situation. On being commanded
to open the door he at first defied the
robbers but later opened the door. He
was instantly ordered to close the
door and get back. A few moments
later he heard the Jeader say, "There's
nothing there, let's beat it," and the
gang left;
There is no clue to the robbers'' save
that several suspicious characters
have been hanging about Kamloops
the last few days. A large posse left
Kamloops after the alarm had been
given and they expect to round up the
ga-ng.' Wm&i

There Is Nothing You Can Want in Flour
That You Don't Get Best in ROBIN HOOD
What is it you want in a flour ? You want a flour made of
the very best wheat, of wheat that has most of the " food-quality
all wheat possesses, You want flour that has been made honestly,
that will make light, wholesome, sweet bread. You want flour
that is dependable, always the same, always good.
You get all these "wants" in Robin Hood flour. It satisfies
these requirements better than any other flour. In no other way
can the immense, instantaneous success of Robin Hood flour be
explained.    .
Did you ever hear of a flour becoming as quickly and widely
popular ? Right in this city it is being used in hundreds and
hundreds of homes where the housewives KNOW that they are
having better results with it than with the flour they used to use.
This being the case, is it not time that you should test "Robin
Hood" flour? Your money refunded if you have two unsatisfactory trials.   That is our guarantee.
Now Is the Time-Not Later On-When
You Should Be Using Robin Hood Flour

"Heavy *TORfo severe strainin-s* and evil habits in youth brought on a
double varicocele. Whea I worked hard the achiug would become
severe and. I was often laid up lor a week at a time. Myfttn)iJy-'
physician told me an operation was my only hope—but I dreaded it.
I tried several specialists, but soon found out all they wanted was my
money. I commenced to look upon all doctors as little better than
rogues. One day my boss askea,i»o.why I was off work so much and
I told him mV condiaon.. He adtised mo to consult Drs. Kennedy &
Kennedy, a ihe had taken treattnent from them himself and knew
they were square and.sj^Jlftd, I-wnote them and got The NewMbthod-

NICOLA SIRJCe REPORT
FINDING OF THE BOARD OF ARBITRATION ANNOUNCED
I DEALS   WITH   DISPUTE   BETWEEN
MEN AND COMPANY
Tlie full text of the finding of the
' board/of conciliation in the dispute be-
Etween the Nicola Valiey Coal & Coke
3 company- and its employees is now to
iliand.   It is as follows:
I In the matter of the Industrial Dis-
•; putes Investigation act and in the mat-
1 ter of ';& dispute between the Nieola Coal]
.4 & Coke Co., Ltd., and its employees,
jj- -the board composed ot Messrs. Thomas
g Charles   Brooks and
I. with judge Lampman
I   having visited the mi
y valley and naving taken evidence and
8 considered the various matters refer'r-
'• ed to it, begs to report as follows:
H The nature of the complaint or griev-
| ance is rirst ■ given and then the conclusions of the board.
J   1.   Complaint—The  nature  of this
[^dispute is a charge of discrimination
by the company against. James'Hard-
raan, who was uncharged tor an'alW
Tnoraas Kiddie,
as chairman after
nes in., -the Nicohi
ed offence of firing a fast shot.
The board is of the opinion that 'tihe
company was jusafied in discharging
Har-dman and tnat. there was no discrimination against him within the
meaning of we complaint. Mr. Brooks
does not agree with this finding and
holds tnat tae evidence suows that
Hard-man did not fire the shot and.he
is also of the opinion that there was
discrimination against him.
I 2. Complaint—The case, of W. N.
.Reid who was discharged for the first
ofence of dirty coal.
The board is of the opinion that ii
was shown that Reid had' deliberately
loaded rock in his car for the express
purpose,of causing trouble.and in sue]-
| circumstances the company was justified in discharging him and that it was
not incumbent upon it to.invoke- th--
provisions of article 18 of the agreement respecting dockage.
Mr. Brooks is Of the opinion that article 18 of the agreement was broker
by the company and the company was
[.not justified in discharging, but if satis-
tied beyond all doubt that the rock
was loaded wilfully he would sav that
Reid could have been discharged even
for the first offence.
3. Complex—The case of George
Martanoyiitch, who was laid/ off work
on account of sickness and refusal p-m-
ployanent upon making application after
anecovery.
'The board does not think thiere~is
any merit in this complaint tout Mr.
Brooks .thinks the company was not
justified in its course, having regard
to article 8 of ra agreement.   .
4 and 5. j -uomplaint—The settlement
of ~ue price of coal in certain places.
In view of the stand taken by both
parties respecting a settlement the
board was, unanimously of the opinion
that no useful purpose would be, served
by making an investigation in these
matters and so announced at the hearing and its decision was agreeable to
both parties.
6. Complaint—Request for reinstatement of George McGruther as stableman.   .
. As the stableman is included in ithe
agreement, the men felt the-y should
protect him in his employment but the
company says it had no fault to find
with M'cGruther. but it thought* that
.the man appointed in his stead was
better, especially in his ability to deal
■ jnMih. sick horses. The board is •unanimously Of the opinion that it would be
better >if the stablemen were not included in the agreement.
7. Complaint-^-Request that the Coal
Mimes Regulation act respecting venti-.
lation* be enforced and complaint
-against unqualified mine manager.
The board was unanimously of the
opinion 'that these were not matters
for it to investigate but were rather
matters for the 'minister of mines of
British Columbia and the inspector and
the complaint was forwarded by the
.board to the minister of mines.
* The board.regrets that its efforts to
effect a settlement were'unsuccessful

Taft will personally supervise the putting of the finishing touches upon the
provosed amendmen to the tariff bill
providing for the imposition of a two
per cen. tax upon the net earnings of
corporations. This will be done tomorrow night at a conference at the
White House. There will be present

committee. The draft prepared by
Messrs. Wickersham and Root wil be
discussed at the conference. Such
changes as are agreed upon will 'be
made by the attorney 'general on Monday and it is expected the perfected
amendments will be ready for introduction in the senate on Thursday.
The attorney-general and Mr. Root had
a long session at the capital today and
reached an agreement on practically
every feature of the corporation tax
plan. The position which has given
them the greatest trouble relates to
the governmental control of corporations necessary to carry the law into
successful operation. There has been
no little opposition to subjecting the
corporations to the amount of publicity
that will be required for the enforcement of the law and to prevent manipulation of the stocks and bonds for
Root and Mr. Wickersham agree wtih
President Taft that such publicity
must be given and that without it the
corporation tax law would be a failure
This feature, it vas said today, certainly would be incorporated n the
amendment. The authors of the, draft,
however, are experiencing difficulty
•in finding an effective way .of reaching
the situation. Among the details of the
bill determined today are that the tax
to he levied will be at the rate of two
per cent.and that it will be collected
from all corporations. All banks will
come within range of the tax. but deductions will be allowed national
banks to the amount of taxes paid
upon their circulation. An important
rpovision.to be included in the bill is
to be defination of net earnings. This
will follow as nearly as possible the
definition of earnngs contained in the

feet in a succession of falls and rapids
Above the /bridge the rocky banks are
only a few feet above tihe river. Here
th river rushes along, lashed into
foam, as two sharp right angled turns
obstruct its passage. Straightening itself on its course it makes a wild dash
at the bridge as though to sweep it
away, but when within a distance of
twenty feet it drops suddenly out <
sight over a sneer fall of 80 feet
sending a /doud of spray in which
Ihung a most beautiful rainbow, seeming to act as an arch for the narrow
bridge spanning the canyon. Below
the.river plunges on for some three-
quarters of a mjle between walls oi
ever increasing', height till finally th*
gorge is reached 200 feet in depth, yet
scarcely half that distance' in its upper
width. Suddenly the canyon opens
imto a valley with sloping sides. Here
is where the town of Bull River Falls
is located, and through this valley the.
river now peacefully winds, scarcely
recognizable as the mad'torrent met
with a few yards furtiher up. The can-'
yon of Bull River, with the unbroken
forest to the very edge of the perpendicular cliffs, form th" most beautiful
hits of scenery in Southeast Kootenay,
and it is appropriate that nature
should have set it in its golden frame.
Where the gold came \ from that lay.
immediately above and below the canyon, is still an unsolved mystery.
"Pay" extends but a short distance
^ibove and below the canyon. * Various
attempts have  been made    in  latter
[ years; to work these placers, but without much success. Almost everv y-ar
considerable gold is taken out by the
miners, who by the   construction   oif
* wing-dams are enabled to work a portion of the river banks, and their efforts have always ibeen rewarded by
a sufficient amount, of gold though
their wing dams are destroyed every
year by high' water that comes in the
spring.1 KP^'*
The Bull River water power consists
of a fall of 250 feet in less than a mh<
with a volume of water that is estimated .at not less than 12,0000 miner's
inches at its lowest stage and will develop about 10,000 horse power. Now
that this immense power is to be harnessed and transmitting power to the
minesi and towns of the district, a
town has been platted and many permanent industries wiL be located a"
Bull River Falls.,   \
The largest body of hematite iron in
Southeast Kootenay on which 45 locations have been made .are -located on
the mountain overlooking the placer
mines of Bud River.
The Kootenay Central railway when
built will cross the canyon at the
Pack bridge.
The Bull River Mining and Power
•company is incorporated under the
laws of South Daliota, with a capital
of $200,000, and have acq-uired the
immense water power of Bull 'River,
aiSo nearly two miles of placer ground
and 400 acres of choice land, . below
the fall, on which is located the town
of Bull River. Falls.
The company have graded a right of
way for a flume 16x5 feet, from albove
the talis to the. townsite. A sawmill
with a capacity ol twenty thousand
feet of lumber daily has been installed
A large general imerchandi'st store has
been erected, a livery stable and several cottages for the \aoeommoadtioh of
the employees of the company, some
40 in number. A wagon road has
been completed from the main road to
the falls. A modern hotel will he
commenced, this summer and pushed
to completion as rapidly as possible.
It is the intention of the corgspany
to supply electric power to every city
and town or working mine in the district. .
With the immense deposits of hem-
atile iron, ifs < iarge forest afeas. construction of its power plant and its
piacer mines. Bull River \Falls seems
destined to grow rapidly and become
one of the largest and most beautiful
towns in Sontkeast Koetenay.

Bull River Falls, the new. town of
Cfe Southeast Kootenay, i® located on a
Jfc level piateau just below.the falls from
fj> whence its. name is derived, says the
; j Cranbrook Prospector.
Of Bull River flows in a southerly direction from the Rockies, and empties
into the Kootenay river about five!
i miles north of Wardner. A large amount of work has .been done in the
vicinity, of the new town ■'during the
past four years by the Bull River mining company who control' the immense
water power and p-acer lease® which
are located just above the falls.
The "old pack bridge" which   has
ben replaced (by a modern structure,
was tihe centre of activity on Bull river
in the early.sixties, When the,discovery
of gold placers, a mile above the
bridge, made the river famous, and
returned smad fortunes to many prospectors and miners. The records aa
to the amount of gold taken out, at
this time, are rather meagre and incomplete, but old timers estimate the
figures quite high. There is, andfe-ed
no doubt but that a ver^ large amount
Of gold was washed from the river bed
and the rim rOcks, that it was coarse
and of good quality and that paydirt
Was confined to a very limited stretch
of the river on either side of tho
bridge, that is to say just above the
canyon. /

It enters the canyon where it i& confined to a width not exceeding 30 feet

GET RID OF DANDELIONS
What One Montana Town Has Dpne to
Destroy Them.
Very few of m may realize it, but it
is a curse to a city once it is allowodj
to gain headway. In Missaudtr utraut
to gain headway says the Lethbridge
Herald. In Missoula, Mont., so bad
has the lithe yellow thing become that
every year there is a public holiday set
apart and known as 'Dandelion Day'
for the purpose of giving the people
an opportunity to go after the pest
in a body. On that day everybody is
supposed to dig up. dandelions . The
children are given a bounty for the
dandelions they pull out by.the roots
and bring to the police'' etation.
Tuns little flower is not a pest here
yet, but if we do not pay attention to
it, it soon will be. It is our duty to
pluck every little dandelion as-it sticks
its head above the ground. The work
should be done this year, not next year
or the year after.
One of tne Great Falls papers tells
of a method adopted in that city to
kill this pest.   It is as follows:
In line with the recommendation
made in the Tribune yesterday by Sea-
atory Paris Gibson, the board of park
commissioners have set private property owners a good example- by putting a force of men at work eradicating dandelions
The park board is using."Camerdn^s
noxious plant eradicator, , which consists of an instrument which digs down
and pulls out the roots of the plant
at the same ,time injecting in,to the
ground where tne roots were a fluid.

Great (Falls, probably has fewer dandelions than any other city of the state
and'tfie residents of the city should
endeavor to maintain the..record they
have set. Helena is overrun wi*th the,
yellow pests, and it is almost impossible for the people of the capital to
rid themselves of the nuisance now.

bank last evening. They had been living there all day and most of the previous night with not a Ibite to eat. After satisfying their ravenous appetites
their rescuers took them to a place oi
comfort. Carrying 'the baby in her
arms and dragging the six year old boy
after her, the brave young mother had
tramped the. entire 75 miles into the
city, occupying four days, on the trip,
sleeping waierever she could find shelter, eating whatever she could beg or
obtain in other ways from the farmers
she passed. When tihe woman reached
the city yesterday morning she was
ready to drop with exhaustion.

BEGINNING TO SHOW THEIR TEETH
. Evidence, if evidence were needed, of
what the yellow peril really means is
afibrded iby a dispatch tram Sydney,
N.S.W., published' in yesterday's issoie
at xihe Daily News. According to this
dispatch a prominent Chinese of Sydney said at a banquet given- by the
shipowners of that city in honor of the
recently appointed Chinese const*! gen-,
eral to the commonweal tin.- warned Australia against the continuance of regulations based on the inferiority 'of orientals and tnreatened if certain restrictions were not removed that China
would refuse to enter into oo*mmer*qdal
relations with! Australia, or to arrange
copyrights, patents or trade marks with
■the commonwealth, or grant the right
of resilience in Cina to Australians. In
other words this speech, which was
concurred in by the new consul general,
means that the Chinese demand to be
treated by Australians as equals
What applies to Australia in this matter also applies to Canada. One of
these days quite likely tihe demand will
be made that Canada remove the head
tax and allow Chinese to come in free
Tihte 'alternative will be punishment
such as is threatened to Australia.
What would be Canada's position in
such a case? -Would she knucloe down
'to the Chinese for the sake of maintaining trade and other relations with
that country and allow British* Columbia and gradually other parts of the
country Darther east to be made a "Yellow Man's" country, as uindouibtedfly
would be the nesuit of the unrestricted,
immigration of orientals, or would she
Stand, firm.? There are certain trade
interests and certain over-zealous religious workers who would doubtless say
tp let orientals in, for the admission
of Chinese would also mean that of
Japanese, Hindus and other easterners,
but 'the vast majority of the people of
Canada and those of British Coliumibia*
to a man would say bo China to keep
her trade and the other privileges
wtbioh she might be in a position to refuse Canadians. If relations with. China
must be maintained at the cost of unrestricted immigration of orientals into
this country Canada will willing forego
relations with China.
The demand of the Australian Chinese* is but another evidence that his
countrymen are beginning to take a
new view of things and that they are
going to refuuse to longer be looked
down upon by the whites as an inferior
race. Just what this will eventually
lead to is impossible to say, but the
fact is worth noting tihat the Chinese
are beginning to show their teeth amd
may with other orientals in the years
to come give the white race far more
trouble than is anticipated.
NEW  CALENDAR   PROPOSED
A proposal that has been put forward
by Mr. Moses Cotsiworth lor changing
the calendar is receiving oonsidera/blier'
attention in the old country and Canada. Mir. Cotswortii's scheme is to
have 1-3 months each* of 28 days which
would give 364 days in the year. The
extra day in ordinary years to bring.
tfo*e total up to 365 he would call Christ
en account of '^esT^eimoT^Z^^:^ > a11 druggists and Deal-'| ^»
be thought best. This day wouid not
be taken into consideration tn reckoning the days of the week or month in
which it would occirr. The difficulty
| relating to leap year would be met in
the same way, the extra day arising
onice in every four years being known
as Leap day.
Mr. Cotsworto, whose name is more
or less familiar to British Columbians,
as *he is at present a resident of Victoria, where he is employed by the provincial government in preparing, the details of Lie proposed civil service* superannuation, scheme, supports his idea
with a number of forcible arguments.
These he presented at the last meeting
.of the Roya| society of Canada held *ai
Ottawa in a paper the subject of which
was "The Need of a Rational' Almanac." He pointed to the neediess confusion .to business men and others a.
the present .time through the irregular
length, of the months which meant that
there was no fixed relation between
the days of the week and tihbse of the
month. Under his scheme if the'first
of January came on Monday so would
the first of February and thie first of
every month in every year. This he says
wonld make it *much easier for business
men and others who have calculations
■to make extending over the year. It
would, for instance, give regular pay
days which would be in the interests
alike of employers and employees.
.. Jh*e method hy which the present calendar was arranged is also dealt with
and criticized by Mr. Cotsworth. He
shows that tlie present uneven calendar was largely the result of imperial
Roman pride and whim. Julius Caesar,
for example, named July after himself.
His successor, Augustus, not to be outdone appropriated the following
month >and changed its name from Sex-
tilis 'to August, and in order to make
it equal in length to July took a day
from February and added it to it. Augustus also showed his control over the
calendar by taking one day each from
September and November and adding
them to October and December. Thus,
Mr. Cotsworth contends, the present
calendar is not based on any system
but is merely the product of chance.
The suggestion made by Mrr Cotsworth is that the various nations should
get together on the subject and that a
date should be set for the coming into
effect of his calendar. Whether the
■nations of the world will take up this
suggestion time will tell, but the fact
remains that the system he advocates
has its advantages although there may
be many who see many advantages
in it. These latter, however, cam console themselves with the thought that
there is no immediate prospect of the
new ■calendar going into effect, and at
no time without the fullest considera-,

•Ever-hody will be made welcome at
this afternoon's picnic.
With two princes and a'princess the
succession to the Spanish -throne seems
fairly weL settled.
With good weather the basket picnic
in honor of premier McBride and Hon.
Thomas Taylor this afternoon promises
to be an unqualified success.
A dispatch says' that .the OttaVa
Citizen, a conservative paper,' com-'
mends the action of the Ottawa government in discountenancing the visits
of Canadian troops to United States
cities on July 4: There is nothing remarkable in this. The action is one
that will commend itself to Canadians
wiiui "lne   k-uu.' ui   uie     mnln |  jsmtfoi
eral. There is no reason why American and Canadian troops should not at
times fraternize, but there are more appropriate occasions for tihem to do so
than on July 4.
The "hold-up of the C.P.R. express
near Ducks may mean that Mr. WTilliam
Miner is anxious to demonstrate once
more how easy it is to escape from
New Westminster penitentiary.
For some unaccountable reason the
trip of the American editors amd magazine writers through this part of British Columbia has been cancelled and
they are to return home the way they
came, by way of the maim line. There
may be some good reason for this biy.
the change means iost opportunity both
for the Kootenay country-and the travelling journalists.
NAKUSP BOARD OF TRADE
Town on Upper Arrow Lake Going in
for Campaign of Advertising
(Special to The' Daily News.)
NAKUSP, June 22—One of the most
important actions ever taken by the
businessmen of Nakusp was the.organization of a board of trade on
Thursday evening. A fully representative meeting of all business interests
was iheld in the sitting room of the
Grand hotel. The chairman, F. (Vf.
Gordon, fully uttered the necessity, of
sitdh an association and the advantages
occurring therefrom and that only by
united action of people interested in
the weliare of the town and district
the benefits naturally due to it couid
be obtained. The town and ths whole
district was on the eve of a great development, 'settlers were coming in all
around us and it was generally conceded that.. Nakusp was-the hub of a
very large territory and 'the people from
along the lakes were bound to recognize its coming importance. All present were most enthusiastic and forthwith proceeded to business.
It was resolved that the name should
be the Nakusp board..of trade. The
election pf officers resulted as follows:
President, F. W. Gordon; vice-president, T. Abriel; Sec, L. J. Edwards;
Treas., Walter Scott; members of. the.
council, D. T. Bulger, H. J. Labrash- H.
Peters, G. F. Robinson, W ,F Ogilvie,
G. J. Hammond, W. J. Devitt, Shas Ehl,
W. J. Wagstaff, A. W. Hobbs.
A committee on bylaws was formed
and resolutions 'passed calling for better mam and transportatjion service,
also .local improvements
The unanimity of feeling which prevailed throughout toe proceedings was
exceedingly satisfactory, all recognizing fully that only by acting with one
common interest that results could be
obtained and the success of the organization isassuned.
A well known newspaper proprietor
is investigating the advisability of
starting a newspaper devoted to the
fruit and lumber interests here.
The Natural Resources Security Co.
is already doing a heavy business.
Mr. Carsten®, German consul of Winnipeg, with Mrs. Carstens visited here
a few days this week. Mr. Carsten® is
a heavy holder of the Columbia River
Land ' company and Dersonally visited
all their settlers. He expressed his
surprise at the development of the land
and his pleasure at'the complete satisfaction of the buyers. He left with p
B. McAllister for the Needles on Friday.

OPENED TODAY  :p^
FIRST    SHIPMENT   WILL   BE    RE
CEIVED m  FRIDAY
The Kootenay Jam company's factory
is-now ready to receive the first *-sh.pment
of berries which, will probably arrive on
Friday next. Today tne steam, will I be
turned on under the first boiling of fruit.
■ tor jam in the company's vats by Premier
Hon. R.chard McBride who will be present at the factory at *2 p. m. The management of the company have decided to
todiay throw ' open tneir factory tor a
public view from 1 to 5 p. nt. and ho:*e
thac a large crowd will make use of this
opportunity to view the premises to s.e
how jam, is made and bo.tled or canned..
/•A representative oi The Daily News
was yesterday shown over the 'Oiiilding
by the secretary, G. O. M. Fox. Entering
the factory from the front the v.sitoi*
passes through, the offices into the shipping room where the filled Lotties and
cans are prepared for being sent to the
customer. The next room is for storage
purposes and adjoining it is where the
bottles are filled with- the hot preserved
.fruit and the tops carefully sealed. On
the left x»f the filling room is the elass
drying room where the bottles, before
being filled' with the fruit and after having' been washed in steam heated tanks,
are dryed on heated racks. In this room
are also stored the emptiy bottles,, of
which a carload are at present' in readiness for the reception of the fruit.
•{The berries are brought ih from the
city wharf, which is only a few yards
away, and taken *into an .outer room
where they are carefully sorted in order
to ensiue against any decayed or otherwise undesirable fruit being plaoe<*|. in, the.
yats, which are. in the next room. These
vats are by far the most interest ng
thing in the whole building with the possible exception- of a machine which cans
fruit at the rate of 1400.tins par hour.
The vats are of copper and were,brought
here from Bristol, England. Th£y are
five in num-ei*. Each is provided with a
double button through which passes the
steam which will be responsible for the
boiling of the fruit; The capacity of
these vats is 25 gallons each. -Other room's
in the building are given up to storing-
sugar, cans, etc. The cans used by the
company are known as the special sanitary can and are so made as to ensure
the fruit keeping in a perfectly hygienic
manner. They are sealed without the
use of solder or acid by the patent canning machine mentioned p above. The,
boilers and washing apparatus are suppled with heat by a 50 horse powor
boiler.
IN WINDERMERE VALLEY
Irrigation Engineer Tells of What is
Going on There.
There are few portions of British
Coluhibia that possess more scenic
charms than the Windermere valley,
where the Columbia Valley Irrigated
Fruit Lands Comlpanty is now engaged
in carrying out an extensive* irrigation
scheme, said The Victoria Colonist
recently. H. J. Haffner , engineer of
the company, is a visitor to Victoria*at
present, and gives some interesting
details of the work in hand.
The land being inigated comprises
some 50.000 acres, and already a sum
of $250,000 has be-in expended on the
work. The majority of this acreage
formerly belonged to the C. P|,R. who
.sold out to the irrigation company, the
balance of the land being acquired
from private holders, 'irrigation work
has been in progress for the past three
years, a couple of main canals having
been constructed and a storage system
installed. ",!^je: land Is suitable for the
cultivation of apples, plums and small
fruits, and its picturesque character
renders it most desirable for homesteaders. There is probably no similar
ly large tract of territory in southern
British Columbia so sparsely inhabited.
Settlers would probably have- gone
idito the Windermere valley long ago,
but <up to the present there has been
no ralroad within icach. The Kootenay
Central is a subsidiary line to the C.P.
R. this summer. The. irrigation company is only awaiting the advertt of the
railway before throwing their lands on
the market. During the spring this
year the Kootenay Central got an extension of its charter for two years
more, and there is every indication
that /he Windermere valley will be
opened up for settlement in the near
future.    |
Lord Grey, the governor-general, in
writing of his trip through British Columbia last fall dwelt in glowing.'f-ash-
ion on the beauties of the Windermere
valley. He has given a practical
demonstration of the delight which he
experienced there by purchasing tbe
Santo ranch, and he intends spending
the summer months there. Mr. Haffner states that the irrigatiion work is
in the hands of eastern experts, who
thoroughly understand their work,
and the company is fully sanguine that
immediately the land.is thrown on the
market there will be a big inrush of
noouver. ts. C. T. I Z.
GRAND OPERA COMING
BOSTON COMPANY WILL BE HERE
THIS WEEK
THREE  WELL  KNOWN  WORKS TO
BE PRESENTED
In the development and progress of
every community music has always,played a prominent part. Through all tne
lesser phases of musical advancement to
the veiy pinnacle of melody, grand opera,'
is a long one. Hence the presentation in
this city this week of three of the greatest works of music, by the Boston Grand
Opei a company,. the first time these have
ever been heard in the province of British. Columbia, enlists the consideration uf
those who have at heart the development
of the city as a centre of art and music,
Not until George S. Starling organized .the
Boston Grand Opeia company some three
years ago, has any successful attempt
been made to present the master woi-ks
of music in the English language for an
extended tour. Sporadic attempts* had, to
be sure, ;been made in the larger cities
of the States, but when Mr. Starling declared his intention-of playing fiom coast
to coast with his organization, he was
decried. The success of the undertaking
has been marked, however, and Mr. Starling enjoys the distinction of being the
first impresario to present grand opera
in the territory lying between Winnipeg
and Vancouver. He was induced to come
through Western Canada, and if the peo-
pfrfe .liyft.ui) to the traditions of the city
they will see to it that the enterprise is
adequately  rewarded.
In selecting the operas to be presented
during the engagement, Mr. Starling, having in mind the fact that this class of
entertainment was entirely new here, decided to arrange a cycle of music dramas
covering practically the whole field, yet
with such woiks as have proven most
popular to all classes, without catering
to any cult. Because of its wide popularity and general familianty, Verai's
immortal "II Trovatare," (The Troubadour) was decided upon as the initial offering for the three performances..in Nelson. This work combines a strong, „*ic-
turesQue and easily followed: story with
probably the most tuneful music ever
written into the score of grand opera.
Sore of the justly celebrated numbers
are the Miserere, which quickly leads to
the ifamors tower scene, and the wonderfully appealing duet between Leonora and
Maurice; the sonorous Anvil Chorus;
Back to Your Mountains, and arias and
solos of rare beauty. This opera will
serve to introduce the first case of principals of the company. Madame Judith
M. Prancini, prima* donna soprano of the
organization, conies with a record ,of ar-.
tistic achievement far more convincing
than most great sopranos have found essential to their fame. She has a repertoire of more than thirty operas, and although still a young woman, has established herself in most of the great capitals of Europe and throughout the United
States. The Winnipeg critical writers
have declared her the best dramatic so-

prano heard in* that city for many years.
She will appear on Friday evening as.
Leonora, a role especially adapted to her
vocal and dramatic, accomplishments*.'
S gnora Groca Ricci, leading contralto of
the company, will be heaid as Azucona,
the vengeful gipsy. This young woman
has created a veritable sensation, through
her portrayal of this exacting role, and
meets its vocal and dramatic requirements
with distinction. Signor "P'.ero Gherardi,
leading tenor, will appear as MaCirice.
His is a lyric tenor voice of g:eat power,
fascinating sweetness, and under perfect
control. Gherardi has a handsome stage
presence and in the title pai;t leaves
nothing to be desired. Signor Achille
Alberti, leading baritone and also artis-'
tic stage director of the organization, will'
be heard as the Count di Luna, possessed of a noble voice, engag'ng stage
presence, and an' actor of great ability
Alberti has made this part stand out
with the others, something few operatic
baritones have been able to accomplish.
The Ferrando will be John McDonald,
whose bass voice has been pronounced
the superior of any heard in English
£rand opera in years. ■
The chorus is composed of ycung men
and women who have had careful training for their arduous work. The, costumes
are correct and in good t/ste, the scenic
setting entirely adequate, and the orchestra, which will be under the conductor-
ship of Signor Roberto E. Francini/ will
add to the enjoyment of. what promises
to be the most notable, performance ever
given in Nelson "Faust"' and "Lucia di
Lammermoor" will follow.

"One Touch of    Nature    Makes    the
Whole World Kin."
When a rooster finds a big fat worm he
calls all the hens in the farm yard to
come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man
discovers something exceptionally good-
he wants all his friends and neighbors to
share the benefits of his discovery. This is
the touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people who
have been cured by. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy write to the manufacturers for
publication, that others similarly ailing
may alsoeus-i'Jt and obtain relief. Behind
every one of these letters is a warm heart-

Premier McBride and Son. Thomas
Taylor, minister of public works, spent
yesterday at Rossland, where they with
A. S. Goodeve were tendered a banquet
in the afternoon at .which each spoke at
some length. Following the banquet the

welcomed by a large number of citizens
headed by the band. In the evening a
smoker was held at which Messrs. McBride, Taylor, Goodeve and J. H. Schofleld, M. P. P., spoke.
Fred Lea, was arrested after a great
deal of trouble on Monday night by Police Constable Ellis on a charge of being
drunk and creating a disturbance. The
accused at the time of the alleged offense
was on Ward street just above the post
[Office and fought hard to escape arrest
being finally taken to the gaol in an express wagon. He was brought before
Magistrate E. A. Crease yesterday morning and remanded for one day. At the
same court H. Duchesnay was sentenced
/to 60 days for vagrancy.
The entertainment at the opera huose
on the evening of July 1, which has been
arranged by the Sisters of St. Joseph's
convent, promises to be of unusual interest. Practically all the children of the
convent will take part. They have been
making preparations and training for the
event for many weeks and under the skilful tuition of the sisters are cerW* to
produce an- entertainment of exceptional
merit and interest. The program will include, in addition to a number' of solos,
duets and recitations, a short play, a
minstrel song in which a number, of chil-
.dren will appear in costume, a song by
small boys attired as grandfathers, and
several other features.
There was a large attendance at the
dance last, evening in the pavilion at
Lindsay's boat house, held under the
auspices of the Eagles' band. To say
that the first of the series of summer
dances to be given by the members of

every way would be inadequate. The
pavilion is especially suitable, for summer use, the cool breeze wxom the lake
being most refreshing, whilst the music
furnished by the seven-piece orchestra,
composed of members of the band, is all
that could be desired. Preparatory to the

Examining McGill.
TORONTO, June 23—The examination
of Charles''McGill, geneial manager of'the
defunct Ontario Bank, to ascertain
whether he should be placed on the lis**
of contributors of the bank for 1713
shares, continued this morning before
Referee George Kappele. The referee declared that of new stock issued by the
bank in 1903 he had bought $125,000, though
it appeared on the books as having been
transferred to Sir William Macdonald and
Lord Strathcona. He gave several other
instances of manipulations with' stock
and various*.- transactions which all had
more or less indirect bearing on the ool-
lapse of the institution. McGill said in.
such cases some of the directors were-
aware of what he was doing and that,
in fact, he acted in some of these instances on directors' instiuctions while in
others /he acted on his own initiative, afterwards telling them about it.
Reichstag to Dissolve
"BERLIN, June ■22.—In the lobbies of the
reichstag the dissolution of parliament
was freely spoken of today as increasingly probable. It is apparent that (the.
government cannot have its entire scheme
of proposed taxation accepted. The conservatives are determined to defeat the
inheritance taxes. Dissolution can take
place only on joint action by th eemperor
and' the federal council. The .proposal to
impose a yearly tax on bonds was adopted
by 203 votes against 155. The tax is to be
calculated on the basis of the average
quotation for the preceding year and the
rate of .interest on this amount -Which
the current dividertt yields. The tax will
then be deducted by the companies from
the dividends before payment.
Roosevelt Heard From
NAIVASHE, British East Africa, June
22.—After comparative silence for over a
fortnight the first news of the Roosevelt
expedition came into Naivashe today. All
the members of the expedition are in excellent health and the party is at present
encamped on the Loiema plains in the So-
tim district. Theodore .Roosevelt has
shot another lion, while a very large
tawny male lion has fallen before the
rifle of his son- Kermit. This animal holds
the record for size on the present expedition. In addition the party has secured the three giraffes, two elarid, six
topi and a large number of minor antelope. All the. skins are being preserved
for* the national museum at Washington.

Lake Steamers Collide
DETROIT, June 22.-he steamer W. P.
Thew, owned by H R. Harvey .Detroit,
was sunk today off Thunder Bay Island
by the steamer Livingstone. Captain
Duncan and the crew of eleven men escaped in yawls and were picked up by
the -steamer Mary C. Elphicke.
ALPE*XA, June 22.-The collision occurred during a heavy fog about 3 o'clock
this morning; The Thew was up-bound
without cargo for, Alpena, the steel
steamer Livingstone, down bound, rammed into the' smaller boat, the Thew being but 132 feet long, and crushed her so
that she sank in 18 fathoms of water.
Headed by Captain Duncan the Thew's
crew hastily launched their boats and
put off in 'them. Soon afterward the
Mary Elpicke loomed up through the fog
and took the twelve men aboard.
