Price Ellison, minister of finance and agriculture, proved successful beyond the most optimistic hopes of the manage ment and provided for the crowds of visitors who surged through thc exhibition buildings and over thc grounds, one long feast' of edification nm' amusement. Two minutes beforo 2 o'cloclt the big 60 horse power 8-cyllnder motor In Walter Edwards' Cur tins biplaiu commenced to throb nnd ot one min ute before tbe scheduled time the machine shot ncross the grounds and rising gracefully over the fence anc telephone wires at the east end, thi nervy aviator began the flight whiet Is likely to prove historic In the an nals of Kootenny. The airship shot at a CO-miie ar. hour clip over Falrvlew, past thr Hume school nnd shipyards to a point about three miles up the lake. Stll rising, Edwards steered across the water and then, malting a beautiful turn, commenced his journey back'In the city, keeping close to ilio mountains on the north side of tho lake. Makes Skillful La rid in (j. He passed the ■ -.grounds, drove a short distance wo, t ond then shot back In front of the grandstand, drop ping within a few score feet of thc spectators on lhc grounds as ho again shot eastwards. He made another trip up the lake and flying back close to Ncison mountain, made a pretty turn over the C. P. [ft, flats and swooped like a great hawlc to the grounds. The landing was one of the pre,ttler.t In the history of aviation and was made rapidly but without the slightest error in the manipulation of the planes which direct the course of thc machine, lie was In the air nine minutes. A huge crowd gathered around Ed wards to shake his hand and enngrat ulate him upon the nervy exhibition which ho had given and upon the skill which he had displayed in nego tlatlng the treacherous air currents between the mountains and gulches on each side of the lake. After Records Today. Although complaining of a headache and stating that the air up above was frightfully cold, Edwards said that tin air currents were not as bad as hi had feared. He showed later In the day, however, that ho did not relish the trips which ho will mako this afternoon and tomorrow, declaring thai if he had known the topogrphy of this district ho would never have signed his contract to fly here. "The chances are too great,'' lie said, "anf If my past eight months' record or no accidents Is broken while I an* here, I shnll not he particularly Bill* prised." Today he plans to make :■ noW record for mountain flylne Build Storage Warehouse, He Says. Strongly urging the citizens of Nelson to erect a large,addition t6 the present fair building, with a basement Underneath, which would giYe storage room for 30 or 40 carloads of apples, so that the fruit might be kept until tho middle of winter when the best prices could.be-secured, Hon. Price Ellison ip declaring the fair open averred that the Markets bf the world were open to Kootenay apples, which loday Were more profitable than oranges. . The minister of agriculture, who was received with loud cheers, prefaced his address with the remark that some of his audience knew that he came irom Okanagan, but that they must have assumed that he came from Missouri and wnntcd to "show" him. Seeing was believing, nnd as minister of agriculture and one of the pioneers of a great fruit section he wished to congratulate his hearers upon the splendid display. Conditions in Kootenay wore very similar to those prevailing in thc Okanagan, excepting that In the former district irrigation was not needed, which was very much In its favor. The exhibits were bo excellent, he declared, thnt Ihe fruit might have been grown In the Okanagan. He realized that the exhibits were particularly good in view of the time of the year, as the winter fruit would not be at Its best for at least three weeks. Do Not Glut Market. Speaking of the need for co-operation, Mr. Ellison snld that it was no good growing the best fruit unless facilities were secured for placing it on the market In good condition. He urged growers not to attempt to cut qach others throats by reducing prices and touched upon the Importance of refraining from flooding the market in the fall with winter fruit, which could be held ovor until the best prices could be realized. "If you did not glut the market in lhe early fall, if you had storage facilities, it would mean that you could get your own prices later." Newtown Pippin apples from the Yakima district ot Washington last winter brought $2.65 f. o. b. Yakima, whereas the local growers probably did not receive much over $1 or $1.50 for the same fruit sold In the early fall. It had been brought to his attention by Mayor Annahle that tho fair directors were contemplating enlarging the present building, to put another story under it and raise it up. "Don't do that," he urged. "Build anolher structuro with a large basement on ono side or lhe other of this building. In the basement you can storo from 30 to -10 carloads of apples and in this way secure the storage facilities which are necessary If you want lo gel the highest prices for your winter apples." Ranchers need not he afraid that they could not secure cash during the time that the apples were Btored, he declared, as the banks would always advnnce money to lhe man who had carloads of fruit stored for the market. Would Pass Money Bylaw. He referred to the substantial sums which had been grunted by the government to the agricultural association and declared that n structure where thn splendid produce of thc district could be displayed to the best advantage should be erected. "Do the right thing, pass a money bylaw and put up" a building which will anticipate tiie requirements of this district In the near future," he urged. The future of the district would be greater than his hearers anticipated and they need not bo afraid that they would erect a building on a scale too largo for the requirements of thc early future. "Tho markets of the world are open to you. The Canadian Pacific railway has said that it will meet the American railroad rates on fruit to the old country, so that you know that you can compete," said tlie minister. Big Pricea in England. While in England lie had not seen very much British Columbia fruit on pale, but that whicii he saw brought extremely satisfactory prices. He saw winter bananas quoted at one shilling each and five Newton Pippins sold at four shillings and sixpence. The cheapest fruit from the United States which he -saw In England sold at a 40- pound hox for IB shillings and sixpence, so thnt British Columbia, whose fruit was of higher quality, need not he afraid of competition from south of tha line. Bust year the Okanagan shipped a carload of apples lo England and the lowest price realized was $-1 per box. Freight charges were $1 a box, leaving a price to the grower of $3. And pome of lhe boxes, he said, sold as high as £1 Is, or about $5, while the provincial government sold some exhibition fruit for .Cl iis a box.

To lho Kaiser's amazement the Norwegian pilot rushed to the telephone and cried to the engineer to slow down and take no notice of the bell. The Kaiser looked at the man who dared to speak thus In his presence and to the pilot said: "Go and put yourself under nrrest." "I shall not leave this plnce," replied lhe old man, firmly. "The ship Is under my guidance, and I tuke orders from nobody, not even an Emperor." Tlio officers looked on ih silence, for they knew thnt the pilot hart llie nautical regulations in his favor. Great was their surprise, however, when Ihey saw tho Kniser quit the bridge, leaving the pilot alone.

CANADIAN LINERS TO CARRY GUNS Now Ships Will Have Cruiser Sterns— Will Make Speedy Passage— Ready for War. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Sept. 24.—What Is nothing less than a new departure in thc construction of ocean-going liners Is being undertaken by the British companies responsible for tho Canadian service. The ships which have lately been constructed, as well as the ships which arc lo bc constructed in the Immediate future, are to be built with what are known as cruiser sterns. This means that the vessels will have extra speed, steadiness and steering control. So far these sterns have been c-unflnet t.o the navy. The new departure whieh It Is believed has been undertaken by thc companies fn conjunction with the admiralty and the Canadian government, aims at the Ci-Ctitlon of a fleet of liners which, in the event of war, could be converted into cruisers. The Alsatian and the Calgarlan, two steamers of 18,000 tons, which have been laid down byjhe Allun line, and the Empress of KAsIa anil the Em- pross of Asia, the two ships of 15,000 tons which are being completed for the Canadian Pacific company, have been constructed on the new method, if the scheme is adhered to. It Is understood that the new fleets of these two lines will bc able to complete thc Atlantic passage from Liverpool to Halifax In four and a half days. Tho other-details of construction have not been allowed to become known, but it !s not impossible that the example of the German liners may be followed in tiie matter of gun emplacements and the actual carrying of guns themselves, which could bc mounted on thc re- ceipl of a wireless telegraphic message.

He belonged to one of the old Tory families of upper Canuda and In tlie early days of his life gave an individual support to the bite Sir John A. McDonald. Since tho period of the "Pacific scandal," 1S73, he acted with and was a member of tiie Liberal party, first under Mackenzie, then under Blake and finally under Laurier. He was minister of finance in the Mackenzie administration, from 1873- 1878, nnd subsequently, while in opposition, was the chief spokesman for his party on fiscal subjects. Ho developed in debate great powers of oratory, superior to thoso possessed by all the public men of hls time, save, possibly, the late Hon. \y. M. Macdougnll and Sir G. W. Ross. His speech In seconding the vote of thanks to the volunteers who served in the northwest rebellion in 1885 is still regarded us one of the masterpieces of parliamentary eloquence. More recent speeches from him, both in tho commons and senate, including that creating the Quebec battlefields commission in 1D08, more than sustained his previous high reputation in this respect. Erom July 1806, ho was minister of trado and commerce In thc Laurier administration. He wus .government leader in the senate since January, 100n.

There were several conspicuous Im* provements over last year's fair. Tin number of entries showed an Increas; of over 100 per cent. The Implored quality of the exhibits was equally marked, especially was this the ease with tha apples and the packing of same, thc latter -act being due to the packing classes Held here, by the provincial government during the last winter. The weather nlso was all that could bo desired, which partly accounts for the record attendance at the show.

GRAIN BLOCKADE IS INEVITABLE Crop Movement Nearly Fortnight Later Than Last Year—Elevator Capacity Insufficient. (Bv Daily Xews Leased WlreA WINNIPEG. Sept. 21-The Grain Grow era' Guide wlll say loday: A grain block is una void able. All Blgm point lu a congestion In the movement of the grain llils fall far worse than that of last fall, and winter—Iind as '.t was. The oxcuptlonal lalnfall during the harvest has delayed cutting, as well as threshing. The weather last fall was unfavorable and the movement was greatly dclnved. ISut the grain at this time last year was moving hi triple the volume It is at tho present time, and this season's crop is considerably In excess of tbe 11)11 crop. During two weeks end' Ing September 2\ there were only 1,298 ears of western spring wheat passed In- sii.Tiion, as agahiHl 1.482 last year. Tin continued rain ef last weelt, which visited all three provinces, delayed threshing slill more, and the crop movement will probably lie from 10 days or two ft'oeks Inter than Inst year. With these facts in hand It is Imperative that every effort he put forth lo meet these most exei'ptlonal conditions. The railways will not be able to handle the grain that Is offered them. There is not enough elevator cnapcliy lo accommodate the Immense quantity of grain that cannot reach the lake front before the -close uf navigation. Since the doors to the southern market aro closed and locked the best remedy In sight Is to have through railway rates to thu south. These through rates were In force for a time last winter and afforded a great deal of n-llef. But they were not put Into effect soon enough nor did they remain in force long enough. It Is the plain duty of thc Dominion government and the three transcontinental railway companies to mako arrangements at once.

Why, REGAL SALT isn't put up in bags. It comes in paraffin coated wood fibre cartons.

I address ot welcome to the visiting delegates to lhe fifth International congress of lhe chambers of commerce. "What we want to establish!" sold Mr. Nagel, "is such a relation, so intimate commercially and subsequently, socially, that no country a party to our con- gross will permit controversy, because it cannot afford to have it. In my judgment, results of just such congresses as these are far more Important than agreements arrived at as a result of diplomatic negotiations. You represent legitimate -self-interest. The questions today throughout the world are largely industrial. Controversies that arise will originate from, that interest and 11 yon suc-cecd In establishing tbe rules of the game that will obtain Iu your deullngs, the main cause of friction aud controversy will have been removed." Greetings also were extended lo the congress by Governor Foss cm behalf of tho slate, Mayor Fitzgerald for llie city, Harry A.

WEDNESDAY..SEPTEMBER 25 Ctie ©all? SMS* Published at Nelion Every Morning Except Sunday, by The News Publishing Company, Limited. W. G. FOSTER, Editor and Manager. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 THE LATE SIR RICHARD CARTWRIGHT t Tho denth of Sir Richard Cart- ■wrlght, chronicled this morning, re- fmoves from Canadian public life one of Its most picturesque figures. He has been more or less prominently beforo thc people since before Confederation. He was a member of both Liberal administrations that have governed in Canada, and held office through the entire life of both, an honor enjoyed by no other man. In thc days of the Mackenzie government, 1873 to 1S78, he held the office of minister of finance and during the time between tbe latter year and lho advent of Sir Wilfrid Laurier to power fn 1896 he acted as chief financial critic of the various Conservative governments ■which held power In thnt period of Canada's history. It was undoubtedly as chief financial critic of the Conservative administrations that Sir Richard loomed largest in the public eye. His fierce philippics against what he regarded as tho extravagances, the mistaken policies and the corruption of his opponents'in power reverberated from one end of lho country to the other. In fact, so strong were his descriptions of the awful condition of the country under Conservative rule that he was clubbed by those not friendly disposed, "Blue Ruin Dick," an appelatlon which ceased to be applied only after the doughty knight bad again assumed the duties of office as minister of trade and commerce in the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. But leaving aside any partisan view of his public career, all must recognize in the late Sir Richard Cartwright a great Canadian, a man of whose production the country may -well feel proud. His was a long life of public service, given according to his views of the country's best interests. H*ls name will always occupy a place in the history of Canadian confederation, and particularly In that portion relating to the time when our present wide Dominion was being welded into one harmonious whole. and devote their attention to the util itarlan. This Is advice which should be taken to heart by every fruit grow* er and everyone who contemplates embarking In that Industry. Tf the prop er attention is paid to the growing of apples of the right sort and with u proper system of co-operation in marketing, fruit growing in the Kootenay; will within the next few years achieve a success In this- line greater than 1; even dreamt of by many. But everything depends upon those engaged In the industry. If In their operations they exorcise that business acumen lhat Is essential In any line of human activity there need be no Question of tho result, MAKING FRUIT GROWING A SUCCESS ' A point which was urged upon fruit growers at the opening of the fruit fair yesterday by Hon. Trice Ellison, minister of agriculture, and emphasized at last night's banquet, wns the necessity of those engaged In the industry devoting their energies to the production of thc very best market varieties of apples and to the proper packing of these when grown. Kootenay, it was pointed out, could grow fruit equal to the best, and there was a ready market for all the fruit of this class lhat could be produced. What was necessnry was that the fancy varieties, good appearing and Luscious, but. of poor keeping and shipping qualities, should ho avoided nnd Strict attention paid lo the production of apples of recognized commercial value, which could be placed upon practically any market, in the world, whero they would command tho highest possible price. Put briefly, the advice tendered the fruit growers was to cut out the frills Signs of Farm For Sale LAND!

"No man," he said, "could have been moro courteous, kindly or considerate, one better observed the amenities of debate or sot a higher example of parliamentary decorum or in the conduct of public business on the floor of the house. As a debater and as an orator of the old school of clear thought and chaste language he had few, if any, peers. T-Tc was, with the exception of Sir Charles Tupper, the last survivor of the 'old guard,' and his name must always bulk large in Canadian history. He wns a typical gentleman of the old school, a statesman rather than a politician." Mr. Lougheed, the government loader in the senate, will bo present at the funeral in Kingston, the premier being unable to go on account nf his engagements to speak at tbe Canadian manufacturers' banquet this week. Today a wrenth of flowers was sent to Kingston^ on behalf of thc government and another wreath hns been sent on behalf of the senate.

Instead of temporizing with vain Surmises \Vo should rather* lia'y h-ied to' the 'actions of (liose who aro charged with the responsibility for providing that defence. If criticism can be obviated and party feeling assuaged by the government taking Into its confidence the leader of lho opposition and his lieutenants, sit much the better.

But In any event let us have action; let us sink our individual likes and dislikes In tho end lhat something inny be accomplished, and placing nil politics aside, let us unite In thc performance in what in plainly our duly nnd so declare to the world at large that at least we arc a nation." Transportation Great Need. Reverting to matters more directly concerning the manufacturers, Mr. Curry touched very briefly upon the labor situation and the friendly relations that on the whole they had been able to maintain with their employes "The great need of Canada today, as I see It, is not wider markets, but an equipment and service that will enable as better to supply the demands of the home market. In other words, what we want is transportation, more transportation aad belter transportation, Tbe railways are striving manfully to meet the situation, millions upon millions are being poured inlo improvements that we sometimes forget to give them credit for. But re lief cannot be bad In a dy. It is ap parent that the west must have more railways and more equipment to bring the grain to the elevators at the head of the lakes. There thc storage will have to bc increased and so on throughout thc entire system. "Canadian ports will never enjoy a development commensurate with the growth and prosperity of the rest ol tbe Dominion so long as they are sad died with the Insurance incubus. Already they have suffered Irreparabb injury because of business that shoub not bo permanently diverted to th* United States and if the remedy Is much longer delayed, It may give om eompetitors an advantage from whlcl- we can never recover." A good deal of interesting discus" •don centered around the report of thr insurance committee at tbe afternooi session.

OLD WTCH HOUSE B^ING DEMOLISHED Recalls Memories of Early Days— Find 'Pipes Buried With Victims of Plague, (Bv Dally News Leased Wire,) LONDON, Sept. 24.—Rarely docs a new tourist season come around but visitors look in vain for some of the "sights-" of old London described In the guide books. They are all gradually disappearing. Now the old London watch house, adjoining St. Boi lolpha churchyard In Bishopsgute, is being demolished. The history of the quaint little building Is somewhat prosaic, considering the stirring times of its earlier existence. Nevertheless, it carries with it Interesting memories of a time when the men engaged in the policing of London Varrk'd their lives in their hands more often than they do today. It is one of the lasl Institutions of tlie kind- in the city and when it gives place to modern business premises a link with the past will be missing. Erected in 1771, while James Town- send was alderman at Blshopagate ward, ll was enlarged in 1S21). John Verbury took over the old building in 1866, when it was decided to build a new policy station and vacate the watch house. His son nnd grandson, W. H. Yerbury and S. Jl. Yerbury, were unaware of the enlargement until a few days ago, when It was revealed through the uncovering of an Inscribe^ stone by the workmen. "There used to he cells when wo came here in 18115," remarked K. 11. Yerbury to visitors, "but of course thoy passed away during reconstruction for business purposes. The cells In the basement nre now a cellar. The fountain In tin* churchyard used to be beside tho old watch liouse, close to the front of the railings iu HlsWbpsgnte, but it. was moved owing to tbe spray splashing foot passengers. In the watch house, 1 believe, was simply a liouse of detention for drunks who wanted to get inlo tbe city and who were not admitted. They were kept here until next morning, when tliey were taken down to Old street and tried." Mr. Yerbury bas found n lot of old clay pipes on Ihe site.

HOME, Sept. 24,—The Vatican has Just Issued a strong censure of the Portuguese eecleslastlos who have nc- eeptad pensions, on tho disestablishment of their socs, from the government in Lisbon. When tbe republican government .separated church and state-, it sequestrated the livings of a Rreat numbor of priests. Eight hundred of lliese accepted the pensions offered them by tlie government, in consequence of the loss they had i fored and addressed a letter to the Vatican In which they explained that Ihey had done this In what they considered thr best Interests of the country, considering it better to acknowledge the republic rather than to withdraw their spiritual services from the people. The censure of the Vatican is of the strongest nature. It declares their action to b0 scandalous and their posit imi impossible, implying, as It does, a recognition of the iniquitous law of separation which has heen solemnly condemned by thc holy see. What action the priests will lake in these circumstances has not yet been divulged.
