NEW CHAIRMAN MEETS COLLEAGUES Two of Members of Railway Commission College Friends of Chairman—Joint Commission, fBy Dally News Leaned Wire.) OTTAWA, July 6.—The arrival of H. L, Drayton, the new chairman of the railway iboard, at the offices of the board yesterday was in the class of a college reunion. Both he and the assistant chief commissioner, D'Arcy Scott, were classmates together at Toronto university and they went through the law school together. That was sufficient of an Introduction, but it was cemented a little later when Commissioner Maclean came Into the room and there was a further recognition of college chums. So that Mr. Drayton's Introduction to the railway commission was of the happiest nature. He had, of course, met Dr. Mills before and the only member of the hoard to whom he had to be introduced was A. S. Goodeve. K is believed that the actual assumption of duties by II. L, Drayton will be followed by negotiations for the establishment of a Joint commission to exercise supervision over through railway traffic between Canada and the United Stages on much the same lines os the waterways aro now regulated. It will be recalled that two years ago the basis of such an organization was ngreed to by the late Judge Mabee ond Chairman Knapp of the Interstate commerce commission. It was never given effect to however, the late government not wishing to mix It up with reciprocity. The present ministry has not dealt with It either, but shortly before his death Judge Mabee strongly urged that the matter be taken up as there are many abuses which cannot be remedied for lack of jurisdiction. Tho commission would be composed of portions of the two existing bodies in the United States ond Canada and steps for its formation are anticipated.

SASKATONiN, Sask.. ,luly I*..—Crop reports from over GO points in the central and northern parts ot the. province have been received by The Phoenix covering tlie present conditions and the effects of the recent storms following a season of unusual beat. In general, It is conceded that the very promising yield will bo reduced by G to 10 per cent by the hot spell, which is also expected to mil' terlally affect the length of the straw. However, there is still every Indication of a bumper crop. The beat coming so early in the season, while not doing any great harm owing to the fact that there was plenty of moisture In the ground, had the ct- feet of bringing tbe crop on .very rapidly and from a number of points it Is reported that the grain Is already lieadeu out. This is particularly the ease along the Canadian .NurUVe.ru railway' to-* th*-*" north of the city. The storms were of u very spasmodic character and hy no menus general, but following them thero lias been much cooler weather and showers In many sections, the general effect being to permit of mure moderate growtli. Generally speaking, the rains hav been so plentiful that not only lias th crop been revived but there Is enough moisture In the grutind to maintain growth for a period estimated from a couple of weeks to the end of the season. The reports are very varied in detail os to the conditions existing, but on the whole, the drouth appears to have done very little damage and there is now nu demand for rain, while the winds have hud little effect and there baa been no damage to speak of. All reports agree that the crop is a week to two weeks uhead of last year. Entertainment Planned For British Visitors SPECIALVTRAIN to TRAIL SMELTER R.

"The Mexican revolution Is not really a revolution; it Is merely an aftermath of the Madero revolution. The rebels are not fighting for any cause, but are simply taking advantage of the lack of stable government to loot; each man Is working for himself. "And I do not see how it Is to end, for now that these so-called rebels have been riding around and shouting and looting for tho past 18 months they are beginning to 'feel their oats' and the army, made up chiefly of convicts who enlist rather than go to Jail, is powerless."

NEW YUKK, 'July "5.—-Fewlstent rumors have been 'Circulated in London concerning the proposed $300,000,- 000 Chinese loan. The first was that "England and America were about to Withdraw from the ■alx powers' agreement and under a dual agreement enter Into negotiation's with China for, the reconstruction of Its financial administration. The second was to the effect that the powers Were trying 1o force the 1300,000,000 loan on China when only u }50;000 000 loan was wanted. Both rumors were' denied yesterday by a lending financier engaged lh the negotiations ana who said the fact is that England, which Is responsible for Ihe formation of the six powers group, has in view of recent develop- nents again taken the lead in mark- ng the limits to which it is willing to go Into financial dealings with China \ detu'led statement of England's pa-"', ■■It Ion has been forwarded to the othei owers concerned and the re-jly of Ihe state department at Washington is now iwailed. The assertion that England ind America were to combine to tlhfl exclusion nf oilier powers, ihis flnan- ier said, needed no consideration as a .possibility. England hus an alliance vlth Japan and an entente with Fratice mil Russia and it is not reasonable to lelieve she would forego these friend? hips to form a new alliance of the ■hurueter suggpsied. Briefly, Ihe poll- ton .Ib that China hits so repeatedly changed her requirements ''» the mater of this loan that the powers have ow determined at an understanding of the limits to which they are willing to go. As to the second rumor, the iiosltlnn Is that the powers have agreed to lend China any amount not exceeding $300,- 000,000. The agreement provided f»i the first advance to be $100,000,01111. The remaned was to be sunplied as needed. The stipulation was ma tie however, that the nnVney be scientifically used in the establishment of a permanent government. The government at Peking, said the financier, Is more than willing to accept these terms, bin the provinces tire afraid ol control by the cenlral government hav- ng the finances of the country in its hands nnd there is no man In tlie central government with the slrength and courage to force the provinces to accept the reasonable demands of the •powers. The consequence is that the Chinese slaiesmen under the domination of the provinces renuest nn immediate advance of $fi0 000,000 Without guarantee or supervision. Naturally the powers will not enter Into any deal of th's character and It follows that China Is approaching daily nearer to the recriidoseence of the recent rebel- t'on.

The racing in tlie main was Interesting and productive of close finishes, In the third and tbe closing day the windups were so close that It required placing to determine tho results.

No two men have beards and faces just alike—and the same man wants sometimes a light, sometimes a close shave. The adjustable Gillette is the ONLY Razor which meets these varied needs. The lower sketch shows the position of the blade when the handle of the Gillette is screwed up tight, gripping the blade close against the guard. This gives a light shave, and suits a soft beard or a tender skin perfectly. In the upper sketch the screw handle has been loosened about a quarter turn. This, as you can see, allows the blade edge to spring away a little from the guard, and "take hold" more. In this position the wonderfully keen Gillette blade will shave the stiffest beard closer than the barber dare shave it. Probably an adjustment between these two will suit you best. But whatever kind of shave you want, the adjustable Gillette will give it. ....-*. -At your Druggist's, Hardware Dealer's or Jeweler's, buy a Gillette—you'll enjoy it. Standard Sets $5.00.

CORNING, N.V., July fi—Of the 41 persons killed in the rear end colll- *slon on the Lackawanna two miles east of this city curly yesterday, in remain unidentified up to tonight. Of theso six are in locnl morgues and seven In Elmlra. In several Instances there nre no clues upon which identification may be attempted and several bodies aro so badly mutilated that ultimate discovery of their identity seems but a remote possibility. The unidentified dead comprise six women, fivo men, nn eight year old girl and a ten year old boy. Coroner H. B. Smith settled a dispute today between two claimants of the body of a five year old girl. The body has been identified by William R. Laird of Buffalo as that of his daughter Mabel and had been turned over to him. Today David Cochrane of New York a brother of Mrs. William Armstrong, who with her husband was killed, also -claimed tbe body as that of his niece who accompanied her parents on tbe trip and who is missing. Mystery surrounds the fate of the little Armstrong girl us there is no other child of the age in nny of the morgues or hospitals. Dr. Smith gave Mr. Laird possession of the body to be sent to New York and advised Cochrane to go to that city for more positive identification if It could be obtained. It developed tonight that Mrs. C. Brandes of New York who has hitherto been mentioned In dispatches as among tho dead, was not on the train. This fact became known when Henry Hente, a cousin of Brandes, arrived at the morgue and Identified the latter but stated that Brandes' wife and four children were at home and well In New York. On Honeymoon A few moments later the body of the young bride supposed to have been Mrs. Brandes was identified as that of Mrs. C. A, Mnsserve.

It may arise from a variety of causes, such as lack of exercise, hard study, improperly ventilated rooms or .workshops, imper. feet assimilation of food, etc. The chief symptoms are extreme pallor of the face, lips and gums, rapid breathing and palpitation of the heart after slight exertion; headaches, dl?,ziness, sometimes fainting spells and a tendency to hysterics, swelling of the feet nnd limbs, a feeling of constant tiredness and a distaste for food. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a certain cure for anaemia, because they make new, rich blood, which stimulates and strengthens every organ and every part of the body. The following is one among thousands of cases of this serious trouble cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Miss Geor- gtna Raymond, St. Jerome, Que,, says: "About a year ago my health began td give out. I suffered from' headaches, heart palpitation, dizziness nnd appeared tp be threatened with a general breakdown. I wns at this time employed in the family of a doctor, who, seeing my condition, gave me medicine. I took this faithfully for some time, but with no benefit and I grew much discouraged. Then a friend advised me td try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, saying that she hud found a cure through them In similar conditions. I took her advice, got a supply of the pills and took them regularly for some time. Gradually I became strong and In the course of a month or so I was again enjoying the best of health and have not since had the least return of the old symptoms. I can heartily recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all weak girls."

Coming Into Prominence After Soil Had Remained Untouched for Years—Mining '. formerly Overshadowed Farming Possibilities I "Rossland people have been' too busy taking frold from underground to think;jof. the gold that,Is on tbe sur- '. face In fruft farming," was the remark of a Rossland fruit rancher the • other day when pointing .to the pos- J slbllitles of the district,from a ranching standpoint. The epigramattcnl remark sized .ip the situation of a few years ago truly and tersely ,but recently there has come a change and mure and more people are devoting themselves, an- , niinlly to growing fruit in that district nttracted by the superior qualities of tHb'climate and tho soli. While . nihiinir. still constitutes a great portion of HosBlahd's mainstay, it Is iinli't ii*n»ssnti-ttf> t;,ii; to 'one of her optimistic citizens to find out that it is in the cenlre'oMl fruit belt, which In tbe conservative terms of a. neutral person, Is'.A steady-producer and sure Investment.

The market is there and : the prices are higher If anything than In. any other part of this section of British Columbia. " As yet the "and around Rossland has ; been llttlo utilized and there are still -Ijiiindreds of acres within a mile or two ! of the city awaiting cultivation. Each year tli mi sands bjVcrates of fruit are i imported from the United States and : from other districts in British Columbia and • It Is tho opinion of ranchers already In tbe field that there is'room for 10 times the supply in tin 1 district around Rossland nlone. For that reason and because of the freight ' rates for fruit from outside points, ' the- prices that obtain in Rossland are higher than elsewhere and make It mure profitable for a rancher there than any place c'se. I Every one Is given" to proclaiming that tbe climate in Ids particular part .of the country Is the best to be found j The city uf Rossland Is 3,100 feet .above the sea level nnd Ihe ranches jhelow the city are only slightly lower 'lhan' this, This' height gives more teunshine during tbe needed period and ■sUP. enough rainfall to till oil the re- * quircments during the spring.

' .Now,' Rossland although not brb- Hng with business, Is a sturdy community with a constant payroll, where ,. COO or MO men.working in the mines are gradually acquiring their own home's and becoming a fixture in thi district. For the most part, money Is heimz brought in nnd little taken out, Rossland In other words is becoming richer every day. With so many people having steady employment, tt means that a home with with a small plot of ground, inexpensive to buy will attract where otherwise it would be passed by. This is just- where Rossland will benefit in tho future. There Is for an unlimited radius arpund the city, land sultab'e for cultivation in five acre fruit ranches or even loss, where, a home may be built within striking distance of the city. There, if ne so desires, a man may live, attend to his garden in the evenings in the .summer months and work in the mines or at whatever employment ho may have throughout the winter -when the garden does not need him. If he wills It, he can forsake his work and from five acres make more than a livelihood, as numerous men around Rossland will testify. He may wait until his trees grow to producing size before he leaves bis employment or be may find other lines to grow which will bring him immediate return bnt he wi'l in most casec take fruit farming as a profession as soon as practicable. Capital .Is, of course, needed. Land around the city within two miles of it, will cost $75 to $150 an acre according to location and it will nut be cleared for this. Much land Is available for $7!i but for the man wilb money, choice pieces equal to any of the far famed fruit valleys can be procured. In order to clear his five' acres, the. man beginning a< smal! ranch, may require lo lay out from $100 to {ISOiin acre, fin- much of It is covered with trees or has the stumps in the gruund nfter the timber was removed. Underbrush is often heavy but ttiis is only anulher example uf the fertility of the soil. According to location an Irrigation' system may need to be installed Fruit trees must be bought and they will nut bear fruit for several , years according to variety, but when'they do, ihei'e will be a constant reinlnii'sement for the labor of the first years As regards the profits to be made of an acre of land, Uie figures to be gut from different ranchers vary according to methods of winking, but everyone without exception show a profit Some claim that app'es pay best, others that cherries give most, returns. Down below the city, there Is a lilile ranch of five acres owned by Arthur I cng that has been marketing goo 1 showing.* despite the fact ihat it is only a hobby of hto during the evenings after his Work is done. About nine years ago It was started and hit by lilt It grew until now there are 200 lre»r. planted altogether. There are liiO apple trees of different varieties and a wide assortment of cherries, prune.-, plum.0 and pears. Of the apples. Mr. Long his found j thi Rus'ian Transparent apple one ! of the best for tills country for the market demands a big apple. This apple takes five years to mature but repays ltse'f nmp'y nfter that. Another brand tn he seen In his orchard is the Northern Spy which should be "even years old before it gives fruit. The seventh year. Mr. Long got no less than three boxes of apples off on? tree. The Wagner Is another amp** Unt .c'ven a large crop and yields nt the end of five years. There is a me1- low egg plum tree in the garden thai made a profit c.f $", tht; first, year it produced fruit. As 'regards profit only an estimate can be made of any fruit. Counting ")0 trees to an ncre it his been calculated that an acre of N*n■•thorn fipys will yield S212 ruling at S1.7fi a box, a price readily obtained in Ross- Wnd. Plum--, are pven more productive, for $7 has b'*en made from one, 'roe, making -?3s*0 for an acre of them. John Horswel!. a fruit rancher in the east side of Rossland had great success with his gardens last year. Mthougb he worked fur nine months ■it of 12 in tbe niihes, be made a profit off his ranch of nearly five acres r.f $1,000. In nine years, the time he ha", been engaged in fruit growing, h? has brought bis land to n state of perfection and now there nre COO npple trees nlone planted there. From one cherry tree 'ast.yenr he got $17. He' has gone in for strawberries and raspberries principally and this year he expects lo get 200 crates of strawberries and probably as many raspberries, He obtained 100 crates of raspberries last year. His land Is frrl- nited and lias a gentle slope towards he Eputh. It is situated immediately 3outh 'of the experimental ranch of Murdoch Henderson. George Dennison has a 10-acre ranch, it which seven are under cultivation, idjaeent lo Mr. Howell, nnd here again will be seen a model fruit orchard. Thcre^are between 800 and 1,000 apple rees planted there, of the early, variety, that being the most marketable. There ore also many cherry and plum rees scattered over the garden. Of raspberries Mr. • Dennison has l.GOO bushes planted, which yield a good profit. He started the ranch 12 yeurs ago and it is In a high state of cultivation. Tbe bouse is surrounded by oushes and flowers and Is the scene oi many picnics of Rossland people dur-> ng the summer. He grows man-,; flower plants and' finds a ready sale for them In the city. Strawberries havo t.heen extensively cultivated, but a flue looking patch is to be seen. The soil on bis ranch Is like that of Mr. Uorsweirs/mid Mr. Henderson, very prolific, being watered by lho seepage i'k,in the mountain, as well us artificially.

On it there are 35 different varieties uf frail trees, apples, plums, pears, cher- ■ios and, prunes being represented. As lenls a show' field, there is nothing .v.uitlng'to the success of this patch if garden. It has been brought to ts present stale of perfection by Mr. Henderson under tlie direction of M, 3. Middleton. In 1909, while the lawsuit over the all smelter smoke was in progress, any fruit experts frum the United Slates and Canada visited the Rossland districts, being engaged by tbe omisel fur both sides. In looking over the" lii-nil several of them were uttracted jy the good qualities of the soil and the situation of one piece in particular in the-side. of t:ie valley.

In the meantime other patches will bo planted and soon all will be producing fruit in abundance. These ranches are all to the east of Rues-land on the north slope of the mountain, /hting ^sheltered* from the cold' winds and'lHtle exposed from the east.

Strnwberr'es rench'ed $2.(>0 a crate on Uie average last season, l( As regards hay, Mr. Peters contends thai the Rossland district is unequaled. The average yield, of hay Is from two and a half lo tliree tons to the ncre, and the price frdm $20 to $30 a tun. Fifly acres with this yield makes a handsome return. From a small patch: the soutli belt, where, besides having ,i small fruit ..ranch, he raises 11 head jf cattle. He has been there since 1899 and has 60 acres of his land cleared of timber, making It an excellent tract.

Three acres of his lani ure planted with apple trees and ofier ■.'runs, but they are young and have :<.oi all matured yet. ,. Still another mduBtry among the many that arc supported on the land juiruiiiidlng Rossland is the sawmill of Joseph DeBchsimps. on Stony creek, to the north of the city.

The mill is being moved further up .he creek to unother spot where tho timber id still pi its v-rgin state and several million feet more are now made available. A tramway connects the old site with the loading yards a mile away, and lumbering roads diverge in all uirect.ons. At the new site houses have already been erected for the men and the new mill will be In place In u few days. In tlie meantime the pinning mill Is being moved lo a new locality in Rossland and after, this all wood will do finished there. Mr. Deschamps sup- pi. es practically all the lumber for the city, there being no other mill nearer than Annable's mill, two miles from Trail. The hind that has been cleared of the heavy timber Mr. Deschamps is putting on the market for fruit grow- ,ug, there being a complete section of it. IL is bisected by Stony creek and numerous tributaries, and the soil Is first clays. No other ranches are 'n .hat locality, except that of C. A. Pe- .ers further up the slope, but it will no doubt be an excellent place to grow fruit. SLOCAN LAKE SHOW ENLARGED THIS YEAR (Special to The Dally News.) NEW DENVER, R.

JULY • wmm &&& / PACE SEVEN "4 PROSPECTS GOOD ' FOR APPLE CROP Report of Dominion Government on Fruit Crop Conditions in Canada—Intact Posts. The report on the fruit, crop of Canada Issued by the Dominion government and dated June ,1« contains the. following Interesting Information: Weather Conditions. The weather for the last month has been, on the whole, fairly favorable for fruit. The season Is slightly late,, but only relatively so. The southern parts of the province of Ontario, for Instance, have not the usual advance of front two to tori days over the rest Of-the province, but the later districts. appear to be almost as far; advanced; as those sections of the province that' are usually considered early. An observer coming from Essex county. Would find the season In Carleton county .(three degrees farther north), only slightly later. The amount of rain that fell during May and the first two weeks in June is somewhat abnormal but, except for the effect on pollination, no serious consequences have come to the.fruit crop as tho result of excessive moisture. There have been several reports of Injuries from frost in low lying fields, and' vegetables have undoubtedly suffered severely. In the commercial orchards and plantations no serious Injury Is anticipated as tho result of the low temperature. Applet. The prospects for an excellent apple crop are maintained. In eastern Ontario and in parts of Quebec the tent caterpillar is doing, serious dam ago. With this exception insect and fungous diseases are perhaps only normal. Tho number of well-cared for orchards is on the increase and the result shows in the reports of better crops. British Columbia had a vory light crop last year and is looking with confidence to a heavy crop this year. Nova Scotia, though it hud an exceptionally heavy crop lost year, has prospects of almost as good a crop for the present season, though there are many contingencies that make the crop still uncertain. Fruit Districts. To assist in estimating the marketable crop, the fruit districts of tho Dominion are divided as follows; District 1.—Counties north of'Lake Erie. District No. 2.—Counties on. Lake Huron and inland to York county. District No. 3.—Lnko Ontario coun- .tlcst,north of Sharbot lake, and Georgian bay. District No. 4.—Ottawa and St. Lawrence valleys to Lake St. Peter and southwestern Quebec, District No. 5.—New Brunswick with northeastern Quebec. District No. 6.—Hants, Kings, Annapolis and Dlgby i counties, Nova Scotia, District No. 7.—Nova Scotia not included jn.District 6. District No. 8.—Prince Edward Island. District No. 9.—Lower mainland and Islands, British Columbia. District No. 10.—Inland valleys, British Columbia. '"«" Districts 1, 0 and 10 ship the commercial crop of peaches and other tender fruits. Districts 1, ?, 3, 6, 9 and 10 grow plums, pears and winter varieties of apples for long distance markets and export. District 4 ships Alexander, Wealthy, Pameuse and Mcintosh Red apples. Districts G and 7 will not produce >ufflcfent winter fruit for home consumption. District 1.—The southwestern counties, Essex, Kent, Lambton and Elgin, will have a medium crop. The San Jose scale Is accountable for a serious depreciation In the orchards of the general former who makes no specialty of fruit. Such orchards are rapidly becoming things of the past. Rhode Island Greenings—a favorite variety In this district—appear to bo particularly susceptible to the ravages of the scale. *-. ". District 2.—A fair crop Is expected in this district, tho Spy being'somewhat lighter than other standard varieties. A number of large, well-kept orchards, where spraying has been done methodically, report a good crop of nearly all varieties. District 3.—There Is likely to be a serious "drop" In the orchards of this district' Correspondents report that by jarring the. trees even at this date there is a heavy shower of 'embryo apples, which shows that the pollination was not ns perfect as could he desired. In this connection it may be noted that some correspondents drew attention to the fact' that. foul brood had almost disseminated the. apiaries of the district. Wild bees are also reported scarce this season. Most of tho correspondents, however, refer to the continuous damp and gloomy weather which, they claim, accounts for absence of insects and, therefore, Imperfect; pollination. District 4.-—The prospects aro good in this district. The effects of lust year's dry weather are undoubtedly noticeable In the weaker fruit buds of this sprint;, but the bloom wns fairly abundant, though there are signs at present of a defective setting; A few correspondents report some appearance of winter Injuries which were not -noticeable last month. In addition to this, we must take Into account the defoliation of hundreds of orchards by the tent caterpillar. Districts 5 and 7.—Medium crops are expected In these districts, but the quantity of fruit will still full far below that of local demands, except In the valley of the St. John river. District 6.—The present outlook Is for another crop almost as large, If not quite as large, as last year. No Insect pest of consequence is in evidence at this time. There arc, of course, sporadic cases of canker worm, tent caterpillar and tussock moth. The brown tall moth Is reported In various neighborhoods, but no orchards are yet serious affected. Tho crop Is not yet sufficiently advanced to, Bpeak at all confidently of final results. . The heavy bloom on the Grav- enstelns 1b a notable feature. District 8.—Prince Edward Island expects slightly more than a medium crop. Spraying is more general than usual, and it is a fair assumption that the good prnspects at the present time will be more likely to materialize in a crop for this reason. The trees are In excellent condition, Districts 0 and 10.—The reports from British Columbia are very optimistic. Weather conditions are, upon the whole, fnvorable. While fungus diseases may be expected, nothing unusual shows at the present time. Preparations are being made for tho largest crop in the history of tho province. Peart. The penr crop per tree is In good condition. In eastern Canada many correspondents speak of the pear industry as practically a thing of the past on account of blight Even such .resistant varieties as .tba Kleffor, In somo-cases, show serious losses from this disease. It Is rather difficult to make an estimate of the aggregate nf the crop. While tht. condition of the fruit Is good, the acreage has undergone such a change that the effect upon the murket can hardly be fairly estimated. The conditions In British Columbia nre quite favorable for a largo crop. Plums, The plum crop is slightly above the average. The Japanese varieties are very Irregular, due, In all probability, to the effects of the weather. The bloom everywhere was good, but pollination In some orchards was defective, and almost a total failure Is the result. On the other hand, many correspondents hnve full crops. European and American varieties are not so Irregular und promise well. Peaches. No great change has taken place in the conditions with reference to this fruit. The Niagara district has a good setting of most vnrletlcs. Southwest- crn Ontario will have q very short TOASTED rv>C0RN 1 U&.U, .i my ->.—lirous earnings of the Canadian Pacific ru.lwuy for the fiscal year which ended June 30 will be shown in the annual report as a few dollars within f 122,-856,000, compared with $10-1,167,000 in 1011, a gain of $18,68!),ooo. No definite figures on net earnings will be available for some days, but it is possible lo arrive at u close estimate with the of- f'ciul figures for 11 months and approximate figures for June. The net earnings last year were $36,600,830, and for 11 months of the current year they wire $39,451,640, For May the net was $3,680,000, and assuming that June will show $3 600,000. u conservative estimate, the total would be $43,051,000, a gain of $6 3b3,000.

Tiie market was dearlv without leadership In either direction, however, und the output represented nothing more than professional trading. Another gold .shipment to Parisi was announced, making a total oE $8,000,000 to that centre In little, more, than a week.

Then too there hardly remains a street thai is not boulevarded and shaded Willi maple trees. - Even Ihe mountains which so short a time ago wore burned and bare, now gird in the city with a perfect wealth of verdure. The color effects are exquisite. Nelson has often been compared to an oasis In a desert, and called a bed from Bfiauty'R1 garden. Few would •mw fl'spiite her riehl to such seerrij Ingly flattering similes. Among tin- gardens which claim special prominence are those of tho provincial Jail, English church, Catho lic church, Kootenay Lake General hospital and Harold Selous. Tlie jail .garden itself Is a bower of beauty, and the English church with its rambling pink ruses and nicely kept lawn and hedge, presents a pic- lure that would delight the eye of the most critical artist. Tho grounds of Ihe Kootenny Lake General hospital are attractive and refreshing nnd would do credit to any public building in tho interior or British Columbia, Mr. Selous* garden holds a restful charm all Its own. Tlie latticed arches overgrown with honeysuckle and rows of neatly kept flower beds are most peturesque, and in the evening tin- sweet fragrance from the flowers is wafled for bluclCB. Hardly a home In Ne'son Is void of a rose garden and the finest quality and varieties have been chosen and il is generally anticipated that by next wason Ihe long anticipated rose carnival wbl come off.
