Having this point In mind, they rushed to tlio mine boss! iold him of what Ihey believed and asked him lo notify the men beneath the ground. Mrs. Prank Layoff, whose husband was drowned In the mine Wednesday, has gone insane and threatens to commit suicide. An employe of lho coal company has been put in Charge Of her.

SATURDAY JULY 2T Published at Nelson Every Morning Except Sunday, by Tha News Publishing Company 1 Limited. W. O, FOSTER, Editor and Manager. SATURDAY, JULY 27 QUESTION' OF THE COST OF LIVING In view of the general complaint ns to the Increase in the cost of living anything bearing on the subject must be of more or less general Interest. The problem is not confined to any one country but Is general throughout the civilized world. One of the causes for the Increase In cost of living is the movement of the people of the world to the cities, thus reducing the relative number of producers. Even in Canada this movement is most marked, In only two provinces of the whole Dominion, Alberta nnd Saskatchewan, according to Inst yenrs census, has the increase in rural population since 1901 been grenter than that of the urban communities In the same time. Tn the ten years ended 3911 the population of the cities of Canada increased 62 per cent, while the Increase of the rural population was only 17 per cent. That this movement toward the cities Is worldwide In Its character is shown by a bulletin of economic and social Intelligence issued by the Internalional Institute of Agriculture and distributed by tbe Canadian Department of Agriculture. This shows that even In France, which up to tho last census had been the one country in which the growth of the country districts was more rapid than that of tho cities, a change has taken place. According to the bulletin in question from 190C to 1911 the total increase in the general population of France was only 349,242, while the population of the towns of more than 30,000 souls increased by 476,442 persons, In other words the town population ot France Increased while the rural population decreased. One satisfactory feature of the bulletin, however, is the fnct that it shows that the movement to the cities in the British Isles has been to a large extent arrested within the pest ten years. During tho decade hetween 1891 and 1901 the Increase in the rural population of England and "Wales was only 2,9 per cent, while the urban population during the same period rose by 15.2 per cent. During the ten years between 1901 and 1911, to quote the bulletin: There seems to be a complete volt faces of tendency although modifications must be (reckoned with. As compared with the previous decade the rate of increase In the rural districts has risen from 2.9 to 10.2 per cent; while In the urban districts it has declined from 15.2 to 11.1 per cent. Tho mean rate of increase for England and Wales is 10.9 per cent, to which it will be seen, that the rate of increase In the rural approaches. The mistaken tendency of the age to congregate tn urban communities Is generally recognized and means of counteracting It have formed the subject of much thought, much discussion and, In some cases, some action. It Is hard, however, to see how much can be accomplished as long as.human nature Is what it is. The gaiety, the apparent opportunities of rapid and easy wealth and the freedom from the drugery, that has to such a great Signs of Farm for Sale FARM LAND! Are often met with but it is seldom that one can find the equal of the following property at anything like the low price we are asking for this one, 42 acres on railway, afll cleared except a small patch for fuel, etc; 12 acres In timothy, 6 In pototoes, 600 winter apple trees, horse, cow, and number of chickens.

Box 232 419 Bakar St. Nelson, B.C. extent characterized farm life in the past, have been among the agencies which have attracted young people from the farm to the cities, while on the other hand the city bred youths havo not been able lo see anything In agricultural life to attract them there- j to. ■ ' People generally nre looking for the easiest posstWe living, and the greatest possible financial return. The people of the civilized world are* engaged In a race for pleasure and for money. The direct result Is this move-, ment from tbe country to the cities with its attendant reduction in the number of producers and its consequent increase in the cost of living. To meet the high cost of living the workers must in self protection dema'nd and receive" increases in wages and salaries in proportion. Thus a new scale of living is set all around. The present high cost of living will not be reduced until the movement of population from the country to the cities is stopped and when it is reduced It can ho safely predicted that there will at the same time be a tendency toward at least, a corresponding reduction In wages and salaries. NEW ERA ON THE INTERCOLONIAL That Hon. Frank Cochrane Is in earnest in his determination to put the Intercolonial railway on a paying basis and to do away with the practllce through which the politicians of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick nursed their respective ridings at the expense of tho Dominion as a whole, Is shown hy a couple of Incidents reported by a correspondent of British News of Canada. Ono Maritime member in the session just ended, it Is told, was abJe to secure a vote of $5,800 for a new station at a point in his constituency. After the session Mr. Cochrane made an inspection of the Intercolonial In the course of which he visited the town whero this new station was to have been built, After Investigation Mr. Cochrane expressed himself as follows: Five thousand eight hundred dollars for a new station. Why this station cannot earn $5,000 fn three years, passenger, freight and all. We won't throw away money like that. Spend $500 on pnlnt and repairs. Not a cent more. The decision was characteristic of Mr. Cochrane. The station has not been built nor will It bo built, At another point the people were congratulating themselves on having secured a vote of ?2.400 for a larger freight shed. Mr. Cochrane had a look ground the freight shed and 'demanded to know whether demurrage was being collected On all the freight he found housed there. As a matter of fact the people of that town were using the Intercolonial freight shed ns a generart warehouse. Apparently It would not nccommodate all the goods they wished to store and^fc/had asked and secured a vote for further accommodation. The imposition of demurrage removed all necessity for a larger warehouse and tbe estimate for the enlargement has been cancelled. These, it is said, are but sample Incidents of what happened at different points from one end of the line to thc other. If Mr. Cochrane lives up to the start he has made In the adminls tration of the Intercolonial, and The Dally News believes he will, his ad vent to the position of Minister of Railways and Canals will prove one of the best things that has ever happened In Canada.

Three Good Reasons A permanent arbitration board would ensure prompt action In Industrial disputes. Secondly, If any dispute it would be less subject to local considerations. Thirdly, In most cases we imagine the average caliber of the committee would be higher than that of a committee whose first two members were chosen more nn a basis of partisanship than anything else. These seem three pretty strong reasons for a permanent tribunal of labor arbitration. been held nnd he had been found not guilly of the charges, but lho newspaper1 had continued the fight and had won.

It was most Important thnt. newspapers should stand for cleanliness in public life nol only in public m*n hut In methods of election. Western Canadian Examples, There bad been nn instance of the power of the press In Alberta In which the Calgary Herald, a Conservative newspaper, had aided a Liberal policy by standing out years ago for (he necessity for railroads to develop the province. Another instance was the Winnipeg Free Press, which bad been conducting a very strong campaign against the high freight rates In the west and had made out a strong ease. These were n few examples of the power of the press and the manner In which newspnpers spent large sums of money in the Interests of the public. Newspapers did a great work for the public nnd Mr. Buchanan declared thai he believed more could be done In tbe interests of the people In a-newspaper office than In the house of commons. Pays to Express Opinions, He had .always found, that ft paid for a newspaper to have opinions and t'u express them, "It's a very narrow man who will cut out his advertisement because yoy happen to criticize something with which he is connected. "I think many of us have formed these Ideals that aim to serve the public and the public Interest and that we nre going to help Canada and do well for ourselves In a financial wny. I do not know of nny better way than to build up n strong Canadian sentiment, loyalty to our institutions und loyalty to the British empire," said the member for Medicine Hat. Surprise at the development of the fruit ranches In this district was' expressed by Mr. Buchanan, who said that he was glad to see the Increase in fruit ranching, which was a much' more stable Industry than mining. Church and Press Allied. In Alberta they had a problem which the newspnpers could aid In solving by teaching mixed farming in the north and south, said Mr. Buchanan, who concluded with the expression of the hope that the visit of the newspapermen to British Columbia would result in inducing still more cordial relations hetween the two provinces. Church and press were very closely allied, declared Rev. E. S. Logic In moving a vote of thanks to the speaker for his uddress. It was the function of newspapers, he claimed, to give expression to public opinion, while It was for the church to generate and form public opinion so that the profession he represented and that, of the newspaperman went hand In band. Mr. Logic concluded a story of a friend of his who got on bad terms with n newspaper by declaring "It never pays to quarrel With a newspaper editor. Seconding the vote of thanks, James Johnstone thanked Mr. Buchanan specially for his reference to fruit growing and said that he expected to see several Lothbrldge people, including » senator, residents of Kootenay before long.

Another Miracle Added To The List Of Hundreds Already Performed By These Tablets Made From The Juices Of Fresh Fruits. Mr. T. McGrath of Montreal lias a remarkable story to tell about "Fruit- a-tives'*. It is a story of vital interest to all sufferers from Rheumatism. It tells the bare facts of one of the most extraordinary cases in medical history. His own physician could give Mr. McGrath no relief. Then he went to one of the leading Montreal hospitals where the doctors told him that his case was incurable and that nothing could be done for him. As a last resort, he tried "Fruit-a-tives"—and these miracle-workers did what all thc doctors in Montreal could not do—they cured him. Is it to bc wondered at that Mr. McGrath considers "Fruit-a-tives'' a wonderful remedy ! They are wonderful indeed, and they will prove their virtues to every sufferer from Rheumatism who will give them a fair trial. MR. TIMOTHY MCGRATH. 130 Atlantic Ave., Montreal, March ist. 1912. "For years I suffered from Rheumatism, being unable to work for weeks dt a time, and spent hundreds of dollars on doctors' medicine, besides receiving treatment at Notre Dame Hospital where I was informed that I was incurable. I was discouraged when a friend advised me to try "Fruit-a-tivcs''. After using three packages, I felt relieved and continued until I had used five packages when a complete cure was the result, after years of doctoring failed. I consider "Fruit- a-tlves" a wondcrtul remedy. I am now a well man, having gained twelve pounds in weight. You are at liberty to use this testimonial to prove to others the good that "Fruit-a-tives" has done mc". 1 TIMOTHY McGRATH. Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid forming in the blood. This poisonous material attacks the gristle covering the joints and muscles and produces the intense pain. Uric acid is formed when the kidneys, bowels and skin fail to rid the system of waste matter. This waste matter, or urea, combines with the acid in the blood, to form uric acid. The only way that Rheumatism can bc cured is to cure the acid condition of the stomach, and to purify the blood. "Fruit-a-tivca" docs this because it is the greatest stomach tonic and blood purifying medicine. "Fruit- a-tives" stimulates to renewed activity thc liver, bowels, kidneys and skin. It removes urea and uric acid and cures Indigestion. Without exaggeration, it may be stated that "Fruit-a-tives" is the most scientific remedy in the world for Rheumatism. 50c, a box, 6 for J2.50, trial size, 25c, At all dealers or sent on receipt of price by Fruit-a-tives Limited, Ottawa.

Prom such aiilccede.rits has one ol the greatest fruit growing districts in British Columbia and therefore in Canada, become in this space of a few years, until loday there are 2,000 acres of \nid wi Hi in lfi miles of Trail, every foot planted with.' -fruit trees. No greater recoiimieiidation is needed than the fact lhat several of the largest ranches' ,in the country are located there and more and more land is being put inlo eeop each year. AlthoughNjrall rhis been looked upon for -mj.iy yrars as chiefly the product of tbe Consolidated Mining company's smeller, it now\runks as more than ■that, wilh a sliitha of ils own due to Ihe development ot\ llie fruit district ot which ii in the centre. new town by any istabllshed long ago Trail fa- not ; means,'for It wai when the smelt Augustus Heinle. connected ,w,itli II tlio astlei 'la. only by stct: the] The lie als om before the Rutle capitalist extended his narrow gunge lo the north and the C. I'. K. boats came down from the Arrow lakes, liven yet. Trail depends lor much of Its importance on the smeller and Indirectly upon the mines \l Rossliind, for which tl; smelle; \Vns built. Tr^es btill Young, n the last year or two ; Within tlie last year or iwo a new sign licaiue hna; come lo it through Its relation lo the fertile frnil belts on the banks of the Columbia and tributary streams. NoW-liuudreds of ranch- era make ll their headquarters for stipr plies and bring their fruit in to bc sold or shipped. It is in Us Infancy iu ibis regard, although the influence of ; tiie i a elies uiy no alUe. ihe trees arc young and In a year or two when they bear fruit more abund- ujtitly Trail will jump into greater promitiouee. The wide Columbia that flows past Trail is 1 ncd upon each side for many inilesi both north and south, with prosperous ranches, and Heaver creek ami Other streams flowing into ll similarly afford foothold lo thc ranchers upon their banks. Trail is thc ecu Ire for ail of them, as a comparison of distil mes will show. Fruitvale in the east Is nine miles away, Columbia Gardens to the south is seven miles off. The fertile Peud d'Oreille, on lhc stream of the same name. Is 12 miles from Trail. In the north; Castlegar and all ranches In that neighborhood I ..-.aa:e tributary to Trail, IS miles, away, j nnd Uie Doiikhohor set'llonients finHh'pr-j tlv south are 111 and lfi miles, respectively, private!.

Trail creek runs for seven milea plum li West and has-ranches for a long way 'bushes . up ils valley. I plants. In all, there are estimated lo be 100,- tlOO fruit trees planted within a, 16-mile radius of Trail, most of them being apples. Apples are llie most profitable, ranchers have found out, for labor- In the Trail dislrict Is dear and apples require comparatively little of it at ono time. ,* on the whole, the climate is similar to Ihe Nelson climate, but Trail is 20 miles south and GOO feet lower. This lends to produce earlier fruit, a Gondii ion that makes a great difference in tiie price obtained ror It. Thc soil Is a sandy loam. There is heavy timber on much of the fruit land but the result obtii'ned Is well worth thc cost of clearing. Trail district is lucky In having good wagon roads iu all directions. Owing lb the activity of .lanius H. Sehofleld, the member for Ymir, thc government has built a comprehensive system of roads, which are of Inestimable benc- fll to the ranchers hauling their produce to market In Trail. Following iho build ng of the roads as a last link tht; Trail bridge, bulll by the provincial government at a cost of $100,000, was opened on May 24 hy Mr. Hclio- 1'ield and ben "fits from it are being .ii'ard of de/ly.

FriiUvnle, one of lhc districts tapped by tlie road, Is bisected by, Beaver creek and many ranchers, have found ihe land there unequalod for fruit rais- .llg. Thc land needs no irrigation, for the creek gives all the moisture the plants call for.

No one who visits Trail can miss hearing of thc .Birehbrook orchards, owned by .1. D. Anderson, land surveyor of Trail, and managed -by his brother, Harry Anderson. The orchards are seven miles north'of Trail, on the Columbia river. The area of them" is .«, ^SSjS'Si f^oHr'W^rVg-'-'-Wm^-oP -fiTr-ln-'rgrsP iwned orchards In ihe prov- re tire 11,000 apple trees ;|(I0 cherry trees, 100 year and ;es, 4,000 currant and berry .nd innumerable, other smaller There Is a railway station, postoffice expected to bear fruit for the first and telephone office on the land itself, and all buildings themselves nre connected by telephone as well. The land is not irrigated, as most of the Colum- ij^does^iiot.reiiuire irrl- . i#iHere" is * ri/complete water system to all parts of lhc farm, with 24 hydrants. Two creeks run through the farm, one of thorn being stocked •last year with 5,000 young trout fry. There'are iiOO thoroughbred chickens to bc seen on Mr. Anderson's place and 24 thoroughbred Berkshire pigs and Ibe usual proportion of farm stock. There Is besides a bee colony to aid the pollination of the fruit trees. Mr. Anderson has devoted five acres at Birehbrook to the provincial government for five years, and the horticultural department has planted this tract with trees as a demonstration orchard. Demonstrations are given there nt Intervals to the public as to thc proper methods of planting, pruning, spraying and Ihe general management of nn orchard. Thirteen miles' north of Trail, on the Columbia river, there Is tbe embryo orchard of S. V. Peterson, a resident of Trail. It Is 640 acres in extent and ho has already begun to clear part of it and w'll set it-out In npple trees as- loon as the land is ready for It. G. M. Annable and H. H. Clcugh own 80n acres 17 miles north of Trail, also on the Columbia river, much of which has been cleared and already planted with young trees. In a few years tills orchard will be bringing In time.

Tyson brothers have 10 acres In fruit trees at Rock creek, two miles and a half from Trail, where they have beco successful in growing strawberries for local sale. This year they claim to have had the first berries on the market In southern British Columbia, shipping "them on June 1. They sell them mostly locally, finding a ready demand for them. 3. A. McKlnnon of Trail has been successful -on a three-acre ranch on Trail creek, a mile or two west of the city.] He has 53 apple, cherry, pear and plum trees planted and a full quota of small fruits, ail at maturity. Improving Roads. Tho city of Trail, awake to the needs of the ranchers, is putting many Improvements upon Ihe roads out of the city. The approach to the new steel bridge Is to be widened and put In good condition for hauling fruit. The road up the side of thc hill to the smelter is to bc widened also and the provincial government has promised to procure rock from the Rossland mines with which to pave It. As soon as this is done there will be a perfect highway to the north of the city. Trnil was one of the first cities In spector of cavalry extended till August 1, 1912.

(Cheers.) The Times correspondent, telegraphing from Wellington, gives an extract from tho Post, which declared New Zealand's present contribution to be utterly inadequate and sentiment i* growing that It Is wrong in divided control of the imperial navy is essential. Local provision for local units is Incompatible with this. Except through responsibility and knowledge derived from local administration tlio scattered democracies of the empire are nol likely to face the question fairly and make the necessary sacrifices. It urges tlie government not to Imitate ils predecessors by maintaining silence towards Winston Churchill's appeal.

NEW YORK, July 20.—To other reasons for his continued protests to the Japanese ambassador at Washington against the (orturing of Christians in Korea, Seek Hun Kinim, president of the New Y.ork Korean Pn trio tic society, now adds thc sudden taking of two residents of his native land under guard to the government prison In Seoul, where, according to his belief. they have died under torture; "Both of the men were well and strong when ihey were arrested," said Mr. Kimni, "and there Is no reason why they should have died unless thoy were killed hy thc prison officiuls. The two men were Kim (Ian Huong, a professor In one of the Korean ; schools, and the other Aok ICttn Heen, a publisher. The first was n Christian, too, but I am not sure about the latter. It has been Impossible iu obtain any information as to the men and the manner of their deaths, (if course, many others have died while In prison, but the fate of these two men is of widespread interest because of their social positions," Mr. Khnm says the estimate is correct of lho Rev. Arthur J. Drown, secretary of Hie Presbyterian board of foreign missions, that 0,000 Koreans wlui had deserted Sliinloisin for Christianity hud been arrested. '•"' "What wc would like to know." said Mr. fvimm, "is what has become of these fl.noo prisoners.

Thc test with the quick firing gun was mode in a stiff breeze at a helghli of 400 feet. Some 20 rounds of ammunition were fired al imaginary objects on Ihe plain beneath ihe aeroplane.

The gunner sal In n box-shaped seat In front of llie pilot and had a clear view of the gun which worked on 11' pivot and could fire in all directions. As this trial proved so successful, several more biplanes will lie equipped with guns.
