"My hope is that we can have closer commercial -relations with the people of Canada," he said. "Some day this relationship may blend the two peoples into one harmonious whole and tho territory lying north of us may become a part of the United States as It should be. I have always believed we should be one people .under one Nag and under one form of government and It will be better for us all when such a -thing happens, if it ever does." Mr. Gillette of Massachusetts and Mr. Dyer of Missouri attacked the free list bill ibecause it put jute bagging used to bale cotton on the free list, thereby threatening the bag making industry In this country.

The Canadian Light & Power company want to run their dam across the St. Lawrence from Cotenu Du Lac to Chirks Island, both points being ln Canadian territory. They propose taking out water for 02,000 horse-power from point at the head of the Beharnols canal or just above Coteau rapids and return it to the St. Lawrence at St. Timothy, just below Cedar rapids. In this way two rapids, Coteau and Cedar, will be covered. For passage of boats the company proposed to put in sluiceways to give sufficient depth to pass the rapids, The Richelieu Navigation company representatives decided that water run through a sluiceway at the rate of 20 miles an hour could not be used by passenger boats. The Cedar Rapids and the Beharnols Power companies claimed that' their power would be seriously affected if the dam was built. Sir Wilfrid Laurier promised that a commission would be appointed to Inquire into the whole question of St. Lawrence dams and their effect on navigation.

WILL AFFILIATE. . DENVER, Colo., May 1.—Affiliation of the Western Federation of Miners with the American Federation of Labor, which was submitted to a referendum vote of the miners, has been ratified by an overwhelming majority. The exact vote will not be known before tomorrow. Deals affecting two different mining properties were announced last night, both being ln the nature of options to take under bond. Tbe properties affected are the Foyal Flush group, in this district, and the Bonanza group, at Gerrard, both predominantly silver properties. Royal Flush Deal. . Papers were signed In Nelson on Saturday completing an option on the Royal Flush, group of mineral claims, not far from Erie. This group, which consists of four claims situated where Hall creek and the north fork of Salmon river head, is a silver property owned by Ed Peters and G. G. Peters, the former of Ymir and the latter of Nelson, and W. A. Macdonald of Vancouver. The first part of the deal was arranged by Ed Peters in Spokane about a week ago, and an option, at a considerable figure, has been given on the property to eastern parties, whose Spokane representative waB authorized to conclude tbe matter. As It will be July before the snow Ib off the property the option is till the middle of August, which gives a clear month for detailed examination of the ground by any experts the parties taking the option may send out: The option is for a working bond of two yearB. ' The mountain on' which tbe Four Flush group Is situated ls really an extension of the Toad mountain range, and the property overlooks, at greater or lesser distances, both the Second Relief mine of the Erie camp and the Granite-Poor man mine of the Nelson camp. The four claims of the group, the Telegraph, Anaconda, Royal Flush and Big Chief, lie in a row along the main ledge of the group, this ledge being traced continuously for a mile. A large quantity of open cut work has been done at various points on the ledge, the greatest depth at any point being 10 feet. Some astonishing silver values have been found on the Four Flush lead, and some rock went over 800 ounces In silver. That, however, was of course not representative of the vein, a crosscut of which at that point averaged about 75 ounces. Tbe ore also has values In gold and copper. Bonanza Deal. P. A. Llndgren last night made public the Bonanza deal, which was consummated one week ago, and under the terms of which the owners of that well- known silver property P. A, Llndgren, Fred C. Elliott, Walter Falen, A. T. Nelson, all of Trout Lake, J. Simpson of Kaslo and C. Dandell of Chilliwack give an option to the last named partner. Mr. Dandell, In turn, Ib bonding the property to Vancouver parties, who propose to proceed with its development. The option given to Mr, Dandell is for a cash sale, to eventuate on August 1. The Bonanza group consists of six mineral claims on Hoskins creek, four miles from Gerrard, ls another silver have the extension of the Silver Cup vein, the well-known property of that name, which lies four miles in a northwesterly direction from the group. A tunnel on the vein haB been driven 260 feet and has showings of solid Iron pyrite and galena, running high in gold, silver and lead. The property, Ib so situated that it can be worked the year round. With development, Mr. Llndgren predicts that.the Bonanza will be counted Us one of the big producers of the-Lardeau. On the other side of Trout lake, on the south fork of Canyon creek, seven miles from Glrrard, is another sliver property awaiting capital. This property ls the LlriBon View group, owned by Mr. Llndgren. Smelter tests mnde some years ago at Trail on a considerable shipment gave returns of 261.2 ounces of stiver, 12 per cent lend and 4 per cent copper. This ore was from the main ledge, which lies ln a granite formation and which la developed by two shafts, respectively 70 and 40 feet deep, both in ore. A crosscut tunnel, now In 40 feet, was started to come under the deeper shaft at a further depth of 100 feet, and on this tunnel work will be resumed In June. No. 2 ledge of tbe Llnson View Is situated 500 feet higher up on the group, in a slate and lime formation, and ls stripped for 300 feet with a six-inch showing of gray copper, from which an assay of 625 ounces of silver was obtained. One mile from the'property just described is the Grand Solo group, owned by Mr. Llndgren and N. Bodln and Qus F. Berg of Trout Lake. The property has an extension of the famous Pedro vein, which had one assay of 2,106 ounces of silver, of the Intermediate property of that name, and on this vein a drift has been carried 220 feet, showing a pay streak of two feet six inches of gray copper and quartz, of which an assay. showed 557 ounces of silver and 17 per cent copper. As soon as the snow is off work will be resumed on this drift. The owners of the Grand Solo are looking, for a deal and are prepared to give liberal treatment on a working bond.

HOSPITAL FUND CAMPAIGN DATE Board Will Start Active Work on May Tenth—Easy Terms for Subscribers. The big campaign to raise $35,000 for the erection of a new hospital building will he launched on Wednesday morning, May 10, according to a decision which was arrived at by the directors of the Kootenay Lake General Hospital society last night. On Tuesday evening the regular meeting of the board will be held in the board of trade rooms at 8 o'clock and at this gathering the plans for the campaign, which a strong committee are at present engaged In formulating, and which were discussed last night, will be definitely decided upon. The directors have adopted a special subscription form upon which Ib set forth the remarkably easy terms upon which the public will be asked to subscribe. No cash will be collected until the contract for the new building is actually let. Then one-fourth of the Bum subscribed will be called for, and the remaining three-quarters will be collected in three equal installments at three-monthly intervals. Thus, if a subscriber promise to give $500 toward the cost of the building he will pay $125 when the contract is let, $125 three months later, $125 six months from the letting of the contract, and the final $125 nine months from the payment of the first installment. For a subscription of $500 the sum per month figures out at under $42 after the first payment. The system of payments will therefore, it was pointed out, make the burden upon subscribers a light one. With regard to the grant of $10,000 which the city will be aBked to make, obtaining special borrowing powers and putting through a bylaw If necessary, It was mentioned by a director that the city of Kamloops, a place, considerably smaller than Nelson, Is donating $15,000 toward the cost of a hospital, and Vernon, another comparatively small city, is giving $10,000 for the same object. Those present were E. F. Gigot, president; George Johnstone, secretary; J. M. Lay, W. H. Wilson, A. T. Walley, Fred Irvine, George Kurtz, Leslie Crauford and W. R. McLean. An important strike of rich zinc ore with a fair percentage of galena is reported on the Sunset group at Cody which was at one time among the heavy shippers In the Slocan district but which, although under steady development, has not shipped since 1908 when it sent 250 tons of silver-lead ore to the smelter. The Sunset group is owned by the Sunset Silver-Lead-Zinc Mining Co., of which A. J. Becker Is manager and part owner. /The new -strike is on the .eighth level where three feet of zinc and carbonates with a good percentage of galena 'was reached at a distance of about 250 feet from the supposed location of the main ore shoot. A staff of men is at work also on the No. 7 level where the tunnel Is located about 250 feet above the No. 8 level. The No. 8 tunnel is In 1100 feet, attaining a depth from the surface of 700 .feet at the point where the new vein was struck. On the No. 7 level it is expected that the tunnel will have to be driven an additional 225 feet before the main ore shoot is reached.. Strike on Perrier Group The news of an Important strike on the Perrier group, which is located on the Great Northern railway track, four miles south from the Mountain station was broUgbc to the city yesterday by Alfred Crossley, one of the owners of the property. The main vein on the group, said Mr. Crossley, has been exposed for a distance of 3,000 feet, a new lead having just been located by means of ground sluicing to the north of -the No. 1 shaft, which is a few feet west of the railway track, on the Golden Horseshoe claim of the group. The sluice Is 1000 feet In length and the lead is now visible in five places. There are at present two shafts on the Perrier group and three open cuts. The new Btrlke shows two feet of ore well mineralized. Mr. Crossley leaves this morning for Blalrmore where he will visit the hot springs.

DECISION DAY HALTS ADVANCE IN STOCKS NEW YORK, May 1.—For a few hours today the advance in stocks, which progressed briskly in the closing days of last week, were halted while the market waited word from Washington as to whatever decisions were to be announced by the supreme court in the anti-trust cases. There was some irregularity In prices but the market held more firmly than on many othe» of the supreme court's '"decision days/' When It .became known that the decisions were not to be handed down today, the buying movement was resumed and prices moved upward. Trc'iing grew more active toward the end of the day and at the end a number of substantial advances were distributed through the list of active Issues. Stocks were in scant supply even at higher levels, a fact which encouraged bull operators to extend their activity. Canadian Pacific continued its record breaking record, rising 4ft points.

KILLARNEY RANCH IS BEAUTY SPOT Aid. Hume's Place Across Lake Is a Revelation—Garden Hewn Out of Mountainside With cherry trees, apple trees, peach trees and strawberry plants in bloom; pansles and other spring flowers blossoming luxuriantly; with green peas, beans and cucumbers just appearing above the ground; with rhubarb and spinach growing profusely; with the currant and gooseberry bushes thickly covered with the light green blossoms that are the forerunners of a bountiful crop and with the clover looking fresh and green—the whole surrounded hy numerous lirees ln all their natural loveliness—there is no prettier place on the West Arm at the present time than "Killarney," Aid. J. Fred Hume's beauty spot across'the lake.. Mr. Hume's well known ranch and Bummer residence is located on; a precipitous mountain aide and overlooks the city, giving a view of Nelson, and of the mountains and valleys to the east, to the south and to the west that is superb. The -ranch which is practically a large garden, consists of a number of terraces cut out of the mountainside, the soil being Irrigated from a spring near "Coal Oil Johnny's" claim higher up, the water flowing Into a 2500 gallon reservoir and a smaller tank just above Mr. Hume's place. "I expect to see a particularly good crop of fruit this year," Bald Mr. Hume yesterday, as he stole a few minutes from his gardening work. And judging by tbe volume and the freshneas and healthy appearance of the pink blossoms on the peach trees, the white blooms on the cherry trees and the darker red buds on the apple trees, this prognostication is well justified. Mr. Hume pointed out patches of splnaoh and rhubarb from which the greens have been cut for some weeks and several plots seeded with green peas, beans and other produce, where the tiny shoots are just appearing above the ground. Some crysanthemum plants which looked extremely healthy had been out all the winter, he said, while the currant and gooseberry bushes had an unusually heavy covering ot blossoms. The strawberries, too, are just beginning to bloom while in front of Mr. Hume's residence is a sloping lawn planted In white clover and pansles, the latter peeping forth ln ail their many colored beauty. Mr. iHume Is also a poultry enthusiast of many years' experience. He is very much pleased with a flock of 12 barred Rocks which he purchased about •10 days ago and which have laid an average of 10 eggs per day since they were transferred;-, to "Killatney." He has several-brood-shens setting on eggs in a large house built for the purpose and expects to have a number of chicks out In a short'time. In addition to bis residence which, architecturally, ls one of tbe prettiest places in the -district; Mr. Hume has a largo summer house In which his family sleeps during the summer. In front of this he proposes to make a croquet lawn, supported hy a stone wall. NEARLY HUNDRED NAMES TAKEN OFF Minard's Liniment utod by Physicians.

"Kamloops or jail" Is the choice that faces the 102nd regiment, R. M. R., In the matter of attendance at the annual training camp, this b-eing the ultimatum received by the various captains commanding companies yesterday from Captain Bennett, district staff adjutant for military district No. 11. The adjutant expressed the desire that this alternative be widely published, evi dently for the sake of Its moral effect on the men. To date every company of the regiment has been against attendance, on the same ground as that' advanced by Lleut.-Col. Holmes of Kaslo, commanding officer of the regiment, that compliance with the order is Impossible In view of all the units being drawn from the towns and composed of persons working at regular employment. The former ruling that the 102nd was a city corps and therefore exempt from camp duty, being now reversed, Qolonel Wadmore, in command of the district, takes the position that the discussion on that point is closed, and his recent' Intimation that reasonable compliance with the training camp order would satisfy him Ib succeeded by the present Intimation that the arm of the law wfll be Invoked. Adjutant's Order. The adjutant's circular letter to the captains, which created nothing less than a sensation yesterday, Is as follows: "O. C. "I am directed by the D. O. C. to ascertain from you, for his information, the probable number of officers, N. C. Ob, and men of the unit under your command who will attend the training camp at Kamloops on June 5. This Information ls required not later than the 15th of May. "Your attention Is drawn to sections 120 and 126, Militia Act (Appendix I, K, R and O) which should he made aB public as possible in your district, and officers commanding) units will be held responsible that all ranks who are duly enrolled for Bervice attend this training unless legally exempted. "C C. BENNETT, Captain. "D. S. A., M. D. No. 11. ''Victoria, B. C. 27th April, 1911." Penalties for Defiance. The sections of the Militia Act to which the adjutant refers read as follows: "120. Every officer and man of the militia who, without lawful excuse, neglects or refuses to attend any parade or drill or training at the place and hour aprtplnted therefor, or who refuses or neglects to obey any lawful order at or concerning such parade, drill or training, shall incur a penalty, If an officer, of $10, and if a man, of $5, for each offense. Every day's absence shall be held to he a separate offense.'" Abettors Likewise. "126. Every person who— "(a) Resists any calling out of any man enlisted or drafted under regulations or any process prescribed for enforcing lnrollment by ballot; or "(b) Counsels or aids any person to resist any calling out of any man, enlisted or drafted under the regulations, or under any process prescribed for enforcing enrollment by ballot, or the performance of any service In relation thereto; or "(c) CouBBels or aids any man enlisted or liable to military service, not to appear at the place of rendezvous; or "(d) Dissuades any man enlisted or liable to military service, from the performance ot any duty he ls required by law or regulation to perform; or "(e) Does any act to the detriment of any man enlisted or liable to military service, in consequence of his having performed any such duty; or "(f) Interferes with the drill or training of any corps or portion thereof; or "(g) Obstructs any corps or portion thereof, on the march or elsewhere— "Shall incur a penalty not exceeding $100." Alternative of Imprisonment. Though the adjutant does not Include section 130 in his reference, it. has a direct bearing, and reads aa follows: "130. Except as otherwise herein provided, every penalty Incurred under this act shall be recoverable, with costs, on summary conviction .before one justice of the peace. "2. In default of Immediate payment on conviction, the convfoting justice may commit the person so convicted to the common jail of the territorial division for which the said Justice Ib then acting, or to some lock-up situate therein, for a term not exceeding 40 days, if the penalty does not exceed $20 and for a term not exceeding 60 days, it it exceeds that sum." As tbe camp lasts 12 days, and each day's absence constitutes a fresh penalty .every officer absent from camp will Incur a fine of $120 and each man a penalty of $60, with the alternative of 60 days in jail. Aa a matter of fact, It Is generally understood that before a member of the regiment can be prosecuted, the consent of the commanding officer ls required to be-obtained. In this case, if the commanding officer refused his consent to the wholesale prosecutions that would be necessary, he himself would have to bear the brunt of the disfavor of the authorities. Regarding the information asked for by Capt Bennett, it Is understood that all the captains have made returns in the last few days. So far as the Nelson companies "B" and "C" were -concerned, the returns showed that tbey would not he represented at all. The Kamloops company, right at the site of the camp, has refused as a unit to attend. Of the Kaslo situation the Kootenai- an reports: "At the weekly drill of tbe Kaslo company of the 102nd regiment last Friday night Lieut. Rlddell read the orders Informing the 'soger' boys that they were ordered into camp at Kamloops for. 12 days beginning June 5. On ordering'all to step forward who could leave, no one moved In the rank. This camp business if persisted in is likely to lead to the disbandment." The Rossland company offered to send, at the outside, 10 men, provided the last years' drill was paid for first. The attitude of the Revelstoke company has not yet been announced. Back Pay Withheld This matter of bock pay Is another minor sore point with the regiment. For three years, in compliance with general orders from Ottawa, the regiment has done the prescribed drill, and was paid for the first two drills. It has not yet been Inspected or paid for the third drill, and last fall Col. Wadmore took the position that the regiment was not entitled to the inspection requested. Local feeling in regimental circles is that tbe district officer commanding will have to recede from his position or else that it means the extinction of the regiment.

"The snow is pretty well gone away on the north slope, the road from Salmo to the creek is just buzzing with activity and there seems to be a great deal of confidence on the part of the residents of Salmo in the prospects of the creek for this summer. "The recent strikes at Deer creek seem to have caused quite a rush of prospectors in that district and a number of new claims have been located while others have changed hands. A little later in the year, when the snow has melted, I expect to see a still greater Influx both into Sheep creek and the district tributary, among which Deer creek will certainly receive a great deal of attention."

Drawer 1042 EXPRESS RATES TO CRESTON EQUALIZED Efforts of Creston Board of Trade Crowned With Success—Long Automobile Journey. (Special to The Daily News.) CRESTON, B. C, May 1.—The news has just reached here that the Dominion Express company will put Creston fruit growers on an equal footing with their competitors as regards rates to prairie points. The following letter speaks for itself: "To Mr. Percy B. Fowler, Secretary, Creston Board of Trade. Dear Sir- Regarding fruit rates from Creston to Calgary, as I advised you the matter of a reduction as requested by your board was referred to our management, and as a result 1 now beg to say that while we consider the fruit rates from Creston as being reasonably low, we have decided to meet your board's views in this instance by making the rate from Creston to Calgary and intermediate points not to exceed $2.25 per hundred, which is the rate that is in effect between Vernon and Calgary. (Signed) R. Helme, Superintendent, Dominion Express Company." The efforts of the board of trade of Creston to secure fair treatment for the growers in the matter of express rates has been crowned with complete success. Mr. and Mrs. Ericson, accompanied by their son, W. G. Ericson. left Spokane last Tuesday In an automobile, hound for Creston. Having left the Inland Empire city at 7:30 a. m. they arrived at Sandpolnt at 1 p. m., where they had lunch and resumed the journey north for British Columbia. When out a few miles from Sandpolnt the party encountered muddy roads, which delayed the machine to such an extent that by Tuesday night they had only A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE With Newbro's Herpielde While there are no thrills In tiie narration of Mrs. P. T. Nichols*. C23 Broad St., Beloit, Win., her story lu nevertheless one of amazing Interest. "Stricken with neuralgia antl erysipelas, I lost all my hair. My doctor recommended Newbro's Herpl- -clde. I used six or eight bottles and now have a fine head of slightly curly light brown hair. Not u gray hair in my head. This Is the more remarkable as I am middle-aged." While the results which follow the use of Newbro's Herpielde are always more or less' astonishing, they are always natural. llertiltjl'le destroys the dandruff, stimulates the flow of blood to the hair follicles ■and keeps the scalp perfectly healthy. It makes possible a natural and luxuriant growth of hair, except in cases of chronic .baldness. 'While remedies said to he "every bit ns good" as Newbro's Herpielde are frequently offered, one should Insist upon having the original germ destroyer, Herpielde. That is genuine. It stops Itching of tbe scalp almost instantly. For sale at all drug stores. One dollar size bottle are guaranteed. Applications may be obtained at good barber shops.

Nothing daunted they were on the road again by 7:30 the next morning, reaching Port Hill at 5:30 p. m. on Wednesday afternoon, having travelled 133 miles in all from Spokane. At Port Hill the customs officer demanded a deposit of 5 per cent and tbat they put up bonds for their return to the United States. After some deliberation the Ericsons decided to send the machine hack to Sandpolnt by train and they all walked to Creston and took the train for Spokane. They stated that the trip was no picnic, the roads in many places being anything but enticing, hut in spite of this they would have (except for the customs officer) come triumphantly through and steered the first automobile into Creston. The Rev. P. C. Hawman will give a magic lantern entertainment at Sirdar sclioolhouse on Wednesday, May 3, at 8:30 p. m. There will be no admission fee, but a collection will be taken. Purchases Land. Robert Stewart, who purchased a 10- acre block of land near town from W. Winlerstein recently, has moved his family down from Fernie and taken possession of his new home. Mr. Stewart has lost no time in the improving of his holdings, having already got two acres cleared. This week H. S. McCreath added a new dray to his equipment. Rev. J. J. Greenlee, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church at Creston, is this summer stationed at Ainsworth and he will preach at Proctor every second Sunday. He expects to visit his many Creston friends again this summer. Among the many new arrivals in Creston last week were B. Hayden of Somersetshire and H. L. Bond, an expert horticulturist, who hails from Devonshire. They are friends of J. Heath of the Devon ranch, and if tbey can find land to suit them will become land owners In this valley. They have had a wide experience in scientific horticulture both in the old land and in Canada. IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHAT BOX CONTAINED CALGARY, May L—Judgment for $1 was given the militia department by Mr. Justice Stuart in their case against the C.P.R. a few days ago. The sum of $500 was sought for damages for the loss of a number of uniforms consigned to the 101st regiment of Edmonton, but during the course of the evidence several different statements were made as to what the contents of the box were, so Judge Stuart gave judgment for tiie loss of the box only, stating that it was impossible to tell from the evidence what the box contained or the value of the goods lost.

FORESEE RECORD CROP ALREADY While Farmers Are Busy Other Spheres Show Great Activity Too—Millers Preparing MONTREAL, April 13.—"While, at this early date, there is no possible way of making a definite statement, it is estimated by the seers and prophets that the field crop of Canada for 1911 will be by far the largest In the history of the country. Everybody expects this, everybody ls looking forward to it, but everybody Is basing his or her Judgment on the signs of the times, which today are paramount but which, when harvest time comes, will be ancient history. It Is not likely, however, that the seers aud prophets are far wrong, and, all things considered, It is safe to assume that Canada as a whole may bank on taking out of the ground this year more money than lt ever has before, far eclipsing the banner years of tho past decade. External evidence, as the book worms say, can alone be quoted to support this statement as the present time, as the direct evidence will not be coming along until the harvest Itself arrives, but, the external evidence, In this case, Is all sufficient and quite weighty enough to be worthy of consideration. One man in every dozen of Canada'* population Is a fanner. The figures, especially to those who live In the -city, are somewhat surprising. Nearly four million of Canada's population of eight millions or thereabouts, are dependent upon farming operations for support. At this season of the year every Man Jack Farmer is busily engaged. In one stage or another, growing something. He has been lying low and taking It easy all winter, but he's out with the birds now and he'B beating tiie sun to breakfast every morning. Most of these gentlemen are devoting their energies to growing wheat. Dollar wheat, with Its unlimited market, is attracting more people back to the soil than all the other agricultural cries put together. If a farmer threshes out a good wheat crop his troubles are over for a long time to come, and the farmer thlB year will have more acres under the wheat crop than ever before. , Canada has the largest consecutive wheat field In the world, 900 miles long by 300 miles wide. Last year she took a crop off this area of about 150,000,000 .bushels. There were 8,370,919 acres under cultivation. This year It ls estimated that there Will be well over 9,000,000 acres ploughed and sown and that Uie total crop will beat the figures of 1910 by about 33 per cent. This is r large gain for bo short a time as a twelve month, but, when you come to figure it out it does not seem at all Improbable. Immigrants have been swarming ln as never before. They will break virgin soil and, In most cases, will put It to wheat. New lines of railways will be In operation this spring, giving hundreds of settlers their first opportunity to get their entire crop to market. Old farmers, who in the paBt have devoted only a part of their time to raising wheat will, this year, neglect other crops and turn their eara to the magic Byren call: "Dollar Wheat." This increase ln the crop is, of course, going to be of huge benefit to tne (Jountry as a whole and in many spheres where a plough Is never heard of great activity prevails In preparation for what Is coming. The wheat has to be milled, stored, shipped, reshlpped, graded, regradeu and a' thousand other things before it finally appears on the banquet table of a foreign potentnge in the form of a fancy bit of pastry, or on the kitchen shelf as good home-made bread. Thus lt ls that others are busy these days 'besides the farmers, and tnus it Is that there will be great doings in many lines this summer. Next to the farmers and the millers come the transportation companies. The railways are showing what they expect In tiie way of a crop by Increasing their orders for freight cars and by hustling improvements and extensions on all sections running through and out of the wheat belt. The lake carriers and ocean going fleets have never before been larger than they will be tills year and both Inland and sea-going Bhips are clearing decks lor a busy year.

PAGE THREE ^ News of Sport OTTAWAS GETTING FAST INTO SHAPE Probable Eight for Old Country Henley Thl» Year—For St. Catherines Meet. OTTAWA, May 1.—Nothing Is more certain than the fact that the Henley crew ot the Ottawa Rowing club will be in excellent shape when lt embarks for England on June 16.. Eddie Phillips' condition continues to assure his boat- mates that he will be all right for the big race, and Jim McCualg ls already in fair shape. The others are rounding to In surprising style. "When they step Into their shell at Henley they will be the finest trained crew in the world," said an officer of the Ottawas, "Why, I never in all my life saw such an -enthusiastic lot of workers," The boys are pulling for Ches. Payne's recovery, as the little cox ls now regarded as in the same light as any other member of the champion octet. Despite the fact that the men who made the big sweep of 1910 will he In England,, Ottawa will be well represented in the Canadian Henley at St. Catherines in August. Kilt, McCuaig, Jolliffe and Sowden will not row fours at all this season, but will devote all their attention to the eight. Fred Wood, Doc Nagle, Harold McCormack and Mac Skead looked promising last year, hut as the club secretary, Mr. Skead, ls to accompany the eight to the Old Country this crew will also be Interfered with. However, there Is no lack of enthusiasm or material. , Ottawa will certainly send junior crews to the Oanadian Henley and If successful there an eight and a four may be sent down to the American National meet at Saratoga. It Is likely, however, that Ottawa will send only junior crews to St. Catherines, but if they prove winners ln their respective classes, they will, of course, be advanced to the intermediate and from thence to the senior, The spring fours, which are to be held early in June, will go a long way. toward deciding who shall be sent to Port Dal- housie. TAILENDERS MAY STRENGTHEN UP Portland and Victoria Team Managers Said To Be Out With Axe- New Men Mentioned. PORTLAND, Ore., May 1.—Tt is believed here that the unsatisfactory showing made by the Portland (Northwestern league) club caused Judge W. W. McCredte to go to Seattle to look over the team and possibly make several changes, Who is slated to go Ib not known here, but lt is likely that several youngsters may be released and seasoned players put in their places. Irving Gouch, formerly a pitcher on Casey's Colts in 1909 and ln the outfield for the New Haven club last season, who was turned over to MoC-redie by Cleveland, will be sent to the Northwestern league club providing that waivers are secured on htm. Capital Team Changes Possible. VICTORIA, May 1.—Before the season is far advanced the Victoria baseball team Is going to be strengthened considerably If reports in circulation here, which come from semi-official sources, are correct. The most important of these Is to the effect that Playing Manager Householder ls to have a new and a good pitcher—one who has gained a reputation in the east, and who, if secured, will without doubt add materially to the stability of the twirling staff. Negotiations are under way now, and a definite announcement may be expected at an early date. A catcher also is to be purchased if the man wanted can be induced to come to the northwest. The player in mind, it Is Bald, is the same that acted as backstop for Thomas last season In the Three I league. He is strongly recommended by Victoria's star slab artist, and it Is believed ls available. It Ib understood that one, and perhaps two of those pitchers now with the team are to be allowed to go, but this, it should he made clear, Is only hearsay. Parkes, the southpaw now in the city, will be retained. He is considered to bave ability above the average. Bel- ford, Narveson, Riggs and Roche, four of those wbo were left behind when the team set out on Its present tour, are expected to start for the prairies; tbe domain of the Twilight league, any day. Clementson, whose hitting is deemed a sufficiently strong factor to entitle him to a place, and who is in the city at present nursing an injury received ln the opening matches at Tacoma, will join tbe Islanders at Seattle next week. CUBS AND SENI0R8 PLAY GOOD BALL AT CRANBROOK (Special to The Dally News.) CRANBROOK, B. C„ May 1.—The Cranbrook Cubs and the Seniors plsyed what was the best hall seen here for some time.

Curley of Rockland, who calls himself the champion big eater of Massachusetts, has issued a challenge backed by $500, "to devour a larger quantity of eggs, oysters or lobsters at one sitting than any self-styled ohampion in the country," Curley's most recent feat Included the eating of five dozen boiled eggs at a meal. On two other occasions he devoured 13 one-pound lobsters and 100 oysters at a sitting. BENEFIT TO LUKEMAN. OTTAWA, May 1.—Athletic organizations in Ottawa are combining in the holding of a joint meeting at Varsity Oval, Victoria day, for the benefit of Frank Lukeman. It ls Intended to turn the proceeds over to Lukeman to pay his expenses to the coronation sports, providing the government does not do so. Should the grant he voted, however, the money from the Victoria day meet will be used in paying Lukemnn's expenses during his stay in England for the British championship meet at Stamford Bridge. Efforts are being made to bring Lukeman, Kerr, Rosenberger and Cloughen together in a sprint on the holiday. Lukeman Is training ln the morning at the Y. M. C. A„ and in the afternoon he turns out with the O. A. A. O. baseball team. In the evening he sprints at Lansdowne park. LOMBARD TOiMEET BILLY LAUDER Bout May Come Off at Cranbrook— Ten-Round Go Spoken of for Empire Day. CRANBROOK, B. C, May 1.—Harry Lombard, the lightweight boxer, was In town for a couple of days and will in all probability meet Billy Lauder here about May 24 In a 10-round go. Lombard has been in Crows Nest all winter and Is in fine condition and the bout is sure to be a good one. Both boys are well known and should draw a good house. Lombard left for Crows Nest yeflteraay but will return about a week bofore the mill, and Lauder will also probably come about the same time. LALONDE GETS $3,500. Newsy Lalonde is the highest- paid lacrosse player ln the world. The fee which he is to receive for playing with Con Jones' aggregation, which the Vancouver fans hope to see lick the champions this season, is $3,500. This salary Is larger than the highest-priced hockey player has received at any time and is a record for a lacrosse star. NewBy received only $1,050 from the Nationals. At the rate of a match a week the salary paid him by the Vancouvers means about $2 per minute, or $140 a match, LACROSSE SEASON OPENS EARLY IN TORONTO TORONTO, May 1.—The lacrosse season in Toronto will open on May (i, one week from last Saturday, when Charlie Querrle's Indians will take on the Nationals, last year's champions, on the Island oval. This is the earliest date senior lacrosse ever has opened in any city on the circuit. The Tecumsehs, who will have some hard games ahead of them the early part of the season, are already at work getting Into shape. The team will have very few, If any, changes from last year. Ions, of whom so much has been said about his going to Vancouver, will hardly make the trip. 'lf&^ CANADIAN RAILWAY SECURITIES C0R- P0RATI0N LIMITED Pacific Coast Agency: 1101 Dominion Trust Bldg, Vancouver, B. C. C.N.R. Trancontinental Terminal Sole Agents on the Pacific Coast for this Special Terms Issue of The Canadian Northern Railway Convertible Debenture Stock. Write for Particulars. The Western issue ONLY is being sold upon the following easy terms and conditions and can only be obtained at the offices below. Terms $15 on application and $15 on allotment, balance in $10 calls at 60 days' notice before 1916, and are convertible at option of holder into stock of the Canadian Northern Railway at par in 1916. These debenture Bonds carry 5 per cent, interest on the full amount ($100) from date of issue, payable half- yearly. Substantial Profits Accruing to These Bonds.—The company claims that this issue is "gilt-edged," fully equal as to security and profit possibilities to any investment offering. The stock being fully guaranteed as to principal and interest. The interest is a first charge on the net earnings of the system. As It is possible some may not realize the possibilities and exceptional terms offered to the Western public, we may remark tbat many prominent people (wiho are In no wise connected with the company) claim that these Debentures by 1916 (five years from now) *will prove exceedingly valuable, many believe that these profits may equal the original issues of the CP.R. The latter stock, as Is well known, after providing bonuses of $1800 per share and paying $800 interest In the Interval, have (after providing these large profits) a market value of $226 per share and today are paying 7 1-2 per cent Interest annually. "Where," some may ask, "can these profits come from?" The answer Is obvious, viz., from the development and sale of the vast subsidiary assets, as well as the enormously increased traffic returns of the railroad itself, which, although amounting to $16,000,000 last year, will be probably trebled on the completion of the line In 1916. The first Issue of C.N.R. stock is being made to the public of Western Canada under more favorable conditions than that of the C.P.R. for at the time of that road's construction Western Canada was generally considered a frozen waste, and that company sold much of their valuable lands at from $3.00 lo $8.00 per acre; whereas the C.N.R. is now selling their lands from $10.00 to as high as $20.00 per acre and much land In Manitoba has been aoid at prices ln the vicinity of $70.00 to $100.00 per acre, so much are conditions improved since the construction of the C.P.R. some 30 years ago. The profits accruing are being also enormously increased by the 200 new towns and cities the railroad has created, to say nothing of their coal lands, irrigation and swamp lands, all of which are very valuable. Although any allotted Debenture holder can pay up and Becure his Debentures at any time, yet It ls unlikely that the Company Itself will call up more than the deposit and allotment until 1916, simply charging English Bank rate of interest on the unpaid portion and crediting their account with the full amount of Interest half-yearly, as It accrues due.

C, May 1.—Mike Lynch, the well-known baseball player on the coast and now playing manager of the Tacoma club In the Northwestern league, has been suspended by President Lindsay for the season.

Tbe lacrosse men have the use of the recreation grounds today. The senior baseball team are out gunning for a pitcher. Sam Langford expressed a desire to tackle Carl Morris, the Oklahoma giant. "I'll box him any number of rounds, winner take all, or on any other basis he names," said the Boston Tar Baby, "He is nine inches taller and 70 pounds heavier, so he ought to give me chance. I don't expect to remain in this country long, however, for Mr. Wood man, my manager, is trying to arrange several fights for me in London. Bom hardier Wells and Ian Hague will fight for the heavyweight championship of England soon and I expect to meet the winner. Wells beat Porky Flynn recently and is a pretty clever big fellow. There's big money for the fighters in London and Paris, and it's best for me to go back." (Additional Sport on Page Five.) UNIMPROVED FRUIT LAND AT THRUMS BRINGS BIG PRICE G. E.

WHITE SLAVERS WORK IN CROW'S NEST TOWN Secretary of Moral Reform Branch of Methodist Church Makes Grave Accusation CRANBROOK, B.C., May 1—"There h a white slave traffic in the west," said Rev. T. Albert Moore, general seeretary of the department of temperance and moral reform of the Methodist church of Canada, in his address in the Metho^ dist church. The doctor Is a forceful speaker and he brought forward facts to prove his statement. He said that in one city along the line of the Crow's Nest railway he knew where a young girl had almost fallen into the trap set for her by two vile wretches. She was the organist in a little Ontario town and she received a letter offering her the position of organist In this certain town at a salary of $1,200 per yeur. She Immediately accepted. On the eve of her departure a Mr. Lee, who Is connected ■with Mr. Moore's department, happened to visit tho town. He heard about her going and asking several questions and learning that she knew no more than that she was going to be organist in the Methodist church In that town, he became suspicious and wired to the Methodist minister asking him if they were hiring the young lady and asking also if he knew the man whose name had been signed to the letter received by the girl. The answer came back: "Do not need organist and know no such man." Then he was apprised of the rest of the information and this clergyman and six of the workers In his church went to meet the train the young lady was supposed to arrive on and they saw two men drive up in a cab and overheard they talking and wondering whether she would come ln the Pullman or tourist car. They decided that one of them would watch each car so they could "nab" the girl they thought was coming. When she did not appear they seemed nonplussed and finally drove away, followed by another cab which contained the minister and another man. They saw the cab drive up to the most infamous house in the town and the two men get out and enter the house and the cab drove off again. The doctor Bald he had proof for every word he said, but did not mention the town. Thomas Caven, M.P.P., is back on his old run again, on 313 and 314.

WEALTHY WOMAN FACE8 TRIAL ON MURDER CHARGE GUILDHALL, Vt, May 1—When the case of Mrs. Florence M. Dodge of Uunenburg, VL, was called tor trial at the Essex county court house ln this olty today It was the first time Blnce tiie conviction and execution of Mrs. Mary Rogers for the murder of her husband six years ago that a woman was placed on trial for her life in this state. Mrs. Dodge, the .wealthy widow of the late X Marshall Dodge, former high sheriff of Essex county, ls charged, with the murder ot William Heath, a painter and decorator, who, at the' time of the murder was employed ln doing some interior painting at the house of tbe accused. Not for many years Has any murder caae attracted so much attention and intense interest ln this state and throughout New England as the case of Mrs. Dodge. This is due partly to the fact that she is a woman, wealthy *nd prominent in social and church circles and partly to the apparent lack of motive ln the case. So utterly at a Iosb In as-' signing a motive of the murder were Uie authorities at the time of Mrs. Dodge's arrest that, under the laws of Vermont, the accused, although charged with murder ln the first degree, obtained her release under $12,000 ball. It is generally believed that the prosecution now is not' a step nearer the solution of the puzzle than at the time ot Mrs. Dodge's arrest. The trial at which-Superior Court Judge Alfred A. Hall of Bt Albans Is presiding ,wlll probably last some time.

William Heath, the victim, ot the murder, was a married man with a family of several children and bore an excellent reputation as an honest, reliable and inoffensive man and industrious worker.

Tbey rushed to Mrs. Dodge's house and at the door met Mrs. Dodge, wringing her hands and Informing them that Heath had committed suicide. An investigation showed that.only one of the ahots had taken effect. Heath had been shot in the back and instantly killed. Tbe location of the wound and the fact that the shot had been fired from some distance, precluded the possibility ot suicide. A revolver with three empty cartridges .was found in the room and Mrs. Dodge admitted that the weapon was her property having formerly been In the possession , of her late husband,.
