E. W|lkln«on is the official who lias been named by the municipal park* committee to fill the position. It is proposed that during the year Improvements on definite lines shall Tbe made to the parks and to such Jueauty spots as Cottonwood creek, ■where for a small expenditure steps ■could be constructed which would en- lable tourists and residents to walk Idown from the upper end to the creek ■below. The park keeper will also bo [responsible for maintaining proper or- ider In the parks and for preventing {damage to trees and shrubs. One of the first improvements of a Itninor nature, it was suggested should Ibe made, was tbe painting of the arch ■ which waa moved after the Duke of ■Connaught's visit from the corner of ■ Baker and Ward streets to Connaught wrk. That the city might secure the first ■.option of purchase upon the McG»id- Irlch Lumber company's land in Falr- I view for use as an additional park was Itbe suggestion made by It. M. Bird, ■who declared that the city made i I-(teat mistake when It permitted this I land to get Into the hands of private I owners. Nelson's .present park area, ■for * city with snoh splendid prospects ■to? future growth, was entirely lnade- Iqttste, argued Mr. Bird. < T. A. Robluy thought that the company proposed to reserve the land In juestlon for a site for a lumber mill. ,The mayor promised that he would .Ik the -city solicitor to endeavor to scare the first option on the prop- irty if tt should be offered for sale. B. K. Beeston enlarged on the beauty ! Cottonwood falls and upon the small umber of people in Nelson who vis- tad them, and pointed out improvers which could be made at a small pefye, At ihe suggestion of the mayor, John 'oye, chairman of the parks commit- ee of the association, was deputed to ake the matter up with the civic board if works. Beauty Spots for Tourists. Discussion of the beauty spots In the neighborhood of Kelson brought front Mr. Bird the suggestion that a 1st of such places, with the necessary Unctions as to the means of reaching ihem, should be printed and posted up in the hotels and other places where tourists gather. jV That notices should be posted up jilong the trail up Mount Nelson was -.nother suggestion advanced by Mr. | llrd, who spoke of the attractions of i he mountain opposite the city to tour- ■tp who wished to enjoy easy moun- ain climbing. In five hours the trip ip and down could be made, he said, j>nd the trail was sufficiently easy for L.Ohlld of seven to enjoy the walk. jjrhe vJe-nr from the summit is mag- lificent.-it was said. Mayor Keefe agreed to have the , Igns made and the association will ' irrange to have them placed in positions where directions to those using he trail are needed. In order to prevent damage to shade il rees and boulevards the association ieised a resolution asking the city ouncil to continue in effect the reward *,$10 offered'last year for the con- | fiction of any person damaging trees. Children running on , boulevards and ■polling, the grass, those who climib hade trees or break off branches and eamsters driving over boulevards or llowlng their horses to feed on the Jrees were scored by members of the *ssoclatlon and a determination to [■jrosecute arrived at. . URGE NEED FOR BETTER STREETS Association Discusses Improvement of Baker DATE FOR ARBOR DAY ARRANGED Nelson to Undergo Annual Spring Cleaning on Last Day of This Month Emphatic declarations of the need for the permanent improvement Baker street and for carrying out the Work at least on thc most heavily travelled blocks this year were made at Iiihi evening's meeting of the Nelson Improvement association, when the project wan discussed. April 90 was decided upon as a suitable date for Arbor day, and the mayor wan asked to proclaim lt a pub* lie holiday. Whether the permanent improvement of the city's main streets slmuli be carried out on the frontage tax basis or paid for cut of the general revenue of the city was a point or which some of the speakers took Issue. R. M. Bird declared that Bake) street property owners who had pah' for the cement sidewalks as a. work of local Improvement, and who had contributed 75 per cent of tho cost o* installing the new electric lighting systcm had been sufficiently heavily taxed, and that thc people as a whole should pay for the laying down of fi permanent street. If thu other property owners favored the frontage ta> plan he would, however, bo willing t- pay his share. Favors Frontage Tax, Speaking us a large property ownci on Baker street, M. It. McQunrrli stated that ho was heartily in favoi of tho work being carried out on thi frontage lax plan, with the city meeting a share of the cost. The present condition, of the main j streets was -e disgrace' to a city of the slsSe and Importance Of -Nelson, he asserted, hus. or dirt flying all thu time, he said. Iti American cities ot one-fourth thc elz- of Nelson they had'beautiful streets He spoke of the good work which hat been carried out in Now Westminster Threo years ago the main street wai a "mudhole,'1 very similar to Bakei street, and now it was one of the finest streets In thc west, he declared If a start could be made this year or Baker street the work would soor. spread to the other parts of the city where Improvements wero needed U the streets. Mr. McQuarrie mentioned that C. M Mohr, head of the 'Winnipeg companj which Is now one of tho heaviest property owners on Bakej; street, had expressed a willingness to pay a largt proportion of the expense of Improving the street in front of the lots li which he is interested. Enhancemon of tho value of tho property benefitte Would alone recompense owners f<> the expenditure which, spread over i period of years, would not be n heav- burden, declared Mr. McQuarrie. T. A. Robley thought that if the cltts to Move Ad- jpy°:.,ent of House HOMESTEAD AT PRINCE ALBERT Premier Offers Facilities for Discussion—Closure Debate Continues ^ TELEGRAPH WIRES DOWN Owing to the fact that all Cana* dian Pacific telegraph wires into Nelson were down, The Daily News leased wire was not in operation last night, and all news despatches had to bo obtained over a circuitous route through the United States. On this account today's news service Is less complete than usual. OTTAWA, April 18,—The most Interesting sitting of the bouse since the Introduction of the closure resolution occurred today. The diversion was provided by the opposition, who mado a couple of unsuccessful efforts to discuss a motion censuring Hon. Robert Rogers, minister of public works and former minister of the in- terlor, In connection with the granting of u homestead near the city of PrlnOe Albert to Albert Donaldson. In the course of a previous debate It was claimed by the opposition that this homestead Is within the limits of the city, and lhat it Is worth $70,000. The struggle, which throughout was curried on with dignity and moderation by speakers on both sides of tho house, culminated In a compromise, the prime minister agreeing to have the house moved into committee of supply on Thursday, ao that the matter niay be thrashed out. In doing so he said It was the desire of the minister of public works that the discussion should take place without delay. The first move was made by Hon. Frank Oliver, who pn routine privilege moved the adjournment of the house in order to mnl-.e the motion of censure. Speaker Sproule ruled him out of order. Such a motion could be made, ho said, only upon motion to go Into committee of supply. After a brief discussion the matter was dropped for the limo, and Mr. McCranejr of Saskatoon resumed the closure debate. Me criticized the government for proposing to change the rule of the house in the middle of a fight on an important measure, and protested particularly ugainst the proposal to prevent members from ventilating grievances on thc motion to go into supply, II wnuld deprive members of many opportunities to do real service to their constituents, he argued. When Mr. McCraney had concluded, Hon. Frank Oliver again moved the adjournment of the house, but on the objection of Mr, Arthur Melghen was ruled out on the ground that he could not do so as he had spoken on tho resolution under discussion. Tho objection was sustained. Fred Pardee, chief Liberal whip, then moved tho adjournment of the house, the speaker ruling him out, however, because on Monday he moved the ad- journment of the debate. Dr. Beland then rose and said that after speaking to the closure resolution ho would move tho adjournment of the house, no exception being taken to this. Dr. Ileland spoke till near-, ly 6 o'clock, and then moved the adjournment, Mr. Oliver rose to speak to lt, and gave as ono reason why the house should adjourn the desirability of considering the Prince Albert land matter before the house. Then there was some more discussion. Sir Wilfrid Laurler said that during the continuous sittings it had been ruled that on a motion to adjourn the navy bill must not be discussed. This was a reversal of that ruling. Premier Borden said there was a distinction, This motion was interjected in ihe middle of a debate, and such a course was not desirable. When the house resumed at 8 o'clock 'Contmiie*- on page rour.> Immigration To British Columbia Is New Record "We anticipate a very much heavier passenger traffic over our western lines this season than ever before." stated C. B, McPherson, assistant general traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific railway, wiio was at the Strathcona lasl evening. "Settlers are coming into tho country rapidly from Europe, particularly rrom Great Britain, and, a splendid class of settlers, too. These people arc, ln the main, people of means, and a great many of them are making their homes In the various valleys of British Columbia," he added. "The movement west Is a great ileal heavier now than It was this time a year ago, and we anticipate a very heavy summer tourist business, which will be handled by our extra train service. Wc will be Jietter able to take care of this traffic, during the coming summer in this district through the addition of the steamers Bonningtotn and Nasookin." Mr. McPherson stated that there was a very heavy movement of settlers from thc United Slates also, who were making a splendid addition to the population of the country. On the prairies, Mr, McPherson stated that the weather during the past ten days had been beautiful and warm, anil that seeding had commenced in parts of the country and would be general throughout during thc next fortnight. Summer Schedule Disaussed. The summer schedule had not yet boon arranged, said Mr. McPherson, but it was under discussion, and would probably soon be in force. Mr. McPherson was recently in San Franclst-o, and during'his stay there wont over the site of the Panama Pacific exposition, which will take place there In 1915. "The situation of tho exposition site Is the most beautiful I have ever seen" Is the way he describes it. "Surrounded by the mountains and the Bay of California, it is magnificent." The people of tho Pacific coast, he said, were highly enthusiastic as to tho exposition, and tho business which would accrue from it, and he predicted that the traffic over all lines leading westward would be very heavy. British Columbia would benefit greatly from the tourist travel to the exposition, in Mr. Mcpherson's opinion. Mr. McPherson Is making a flying tour of inspection In this district, and after spending today'in the city he will return enst to Calgary and Rd- monton.

SYMPATHETIC J0_ BRITISH PROTEST Vice-President Tells of Throttling In* fluOnce of Great Trusts—New Industries Strangled WASHINGTON, April Hi. I'liiting conscience Inlo business as an unli- dOta for Socialism was lhe keynote of an interview given by Vice-President T. R. Murshall yesterday in explanation of bis speech on recent laws made in New Vork last Saturday night. "When I said In New Vork," the vice-president Bald, "that I'arl Marx and hunger and a longing foi* happiness are abroad in tlu- land, I was expressing,' not my own opinion, ''-'t the opinion of others. 1 said lhat If I Were the possessor of a vust and crowing fortune, and had made up my mind that the government should 1.-0111111116 to help me make It grow, ir If I were a Socialist, I would frown down upon the edm-ationul system of America. Suppose u government and a general assembly in the state ol New Vork should repeal the Statute of descents for real and personal property and the statute witli refer- hiicp to the making of wIIIh on their death how much vested interest woiib any relative have in the property which Tel! from their nerveless baud at the hour of dissolution? The rlgh to Inherit and the right to devise ar> neither Inherent nor constitutional but, on the contrary, they are Blmplj rights given by the state to Un citizens. "From men of all classes i hav, heard exptfasiohq of glowing dingus' over the economic policy of exorbitant protection which was put forward ui the ground thnt tho revenue wa: needed to pay off the war debt. Nex it was defended on the ground that 1* was needed for the building of ou- infant Industries. Later It was defended as being necessary for the protection of tho workingn-rin's wages* And finally, we have had it put fortl as necessary to make up the difference in the cost of production at hom< and abroad with n reasonable prof! for tlie manufacturer. I have bean" men say thnt the public has groWl tired of an economic policy that i defended on a different ground ever1 "our years and Unit the public Is tired of the paternalism which is the nil], brother of Socialism- They no longe" believe thnt the mnniirueUirerB an rolling goods ahrond cheaper than ii the United States because IL Ih thelt surplus* stock. Tliey are saying tha1 if this were true the trusts would not be building new factories ami plant: in the United States to turn out mon goods. "The people were told in the last '■nmpalgn that the trusts wore n na- turnl evolution and that the only wuj tn deal with them was to regulate ihem. Tiie people are tired of being told SUCh things; Whatilhey want h the kind <«f opportunity that former!-, •xtsted in this cotintry.;:i lino man In my slate told me that he had HOO.ilOl nu! was'about to set up'ln a buslno-.- hftt was controlled laigMy by d trust mil that lie was warned not to proceed. He has figured Out the amount Lluit would be needed for ills plant, bow much his raw material 'would •ost, and what labor could be had for. Ono of his own friends told him he had belter not go on; th*! trust would Irtve him out of business. "Another man In the hardware business fn Indlunnpnlis wus buylnf horseshoes from an Independent company. Representatives of tho trust told him he had better stoji. L'nlesi- he bought from the trust, he would be driven out of business. , When I left Indianapolis I was told that the man •yds finding it hard to got horseshoes anywhere. This is the kind of business agalnsl which the people arc complaining. They nre being told that there are Just as many opportunities today as ever before, that there are any number of Jobs ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, wnltlng for capable men. ll may be lhat n very aide man might not want lo curn $20,00fj working foi the steel trust, however, He might prefer to start a little rolling mill ol his own, so lhat he would bc Independent, and his own master, ever though he made hut $5000 a year. It >S such opportunities us these thn- mmiy men are paying are not to be had nowadays". Prssidsnt More Favorable to British Contention Regarding Canal Tolls Than Predecessor WASHINGTON*, April 1G.—The report fr,,m England that Ambassador Hryce has Informed his Kavernnttnt that President Wilson may i»- expected to assume an attitude <>n the Panama tolls controversy thai win prove more agreeable to Great llntain than the policy of bis predecessor, caused no surprise to those in Washington who have followed closely Indications of the presiden 's feel ng. An far back as last summer Washington despatches ackiii>wl-*d:-.ii that such a small i-tiicessioii un ihe part of the United states In the language of the Panama Canal act, was necessary to make that measure acceptable to iiivat Britain, that ir seemed Incredible that n friendly settlement in the end would not be reached. The ]-resident h inclination to take a more sympathetic view of the 1'rltlnh protest (gainst discrimination in favor of American coasting vessels has hean Suggested In the disfavor with which he is understood tu have learned of the appointment of no toll sejuttors to the committee mi Interoceanle Calais. Any bill amending the Panama ''anal nit would be referred to that iommlttee, Mr, Wilson 1ms been xuordbd In bis reniarks on the subject if the tolls and ther,- i« reason to believe Unit be does not wish to complicate tlie tariff situation by tall I ill i stand Just now against which a majority of bis party In both houses, a- *-ell us the party platform has de elared. The president has long been a clnsi 'riemi of Ambassador Brj*ce, tholi writings on allied subjects bavin; irought them Into cornmunicatloi uaiiy years ago, and it is thought thn he has revealed bis real scut meiitn ti the retiring diplomat. A can fill lead ng of sir Edward Grey's note of las luramer t<> Ambassador nryc**. whloi the ambassador read to Secretary Knox, lead m ih" opinion hero ilia In spite of Sir Edward's broad denia it the American rlgh' to any dlscrim intion in favor nf American shipplri lie would accept the bill then pond Ing as a fair recognition of Qron Britain's treaty rights If two aitniul- incuts were made.

METALS NEW YORK METAL MARKET. NEW VORK, April 1C—Copper- Firm. Standard spot to July *.15.IJ and tho festivities will lie kept up until late into the year. Already we have begun celebrating the centenary of the national upheaval against Napoleon In 1813. A long list of battles remains lo be commemorated, winding Up with the inauguration of the stupendous monument on the battlefield of Leipzig In October. A few weeks from now the marriage of thc kaiser's only daughter, Princess Viktorla Lulse, to the young I'rincc of Cumberland will be celebrated with a huge display of public! joy in Berllri. Add a few royal visits and birthdays, and it is evident that there will scarcely be time to tuke down the Venetian mnsta all summer, and lhat the supply of bunting will badly need replenishing before the end of the year. So that although the shadow of war still lies broad upon the land, though trade in bad, business lungulsh- ing fnr lack of capital, and bankruptcy plentiful, the year is one of national rej'j.jing. The kaiser bus himself struck the keynote of the jubilee music. It Is to be, like 1813, a year of sacrifice. The hurrahs and the military bands will drown tlie cries of the victims. Those who possess money will hand over one-half of one to one per cent of it for the milliard war levy. There will lie an increment value tax on property; (here may be an inheritance tax; them is talk of transferrin-; the stamp duties tu the imperial ex- che'iuer; which will mean that tho federated governments will have to look about for some means of filling the gap in their revenues. Charitable Objects for Jubilee Then the rich will have to contribute to the thousand and one funds for charitable objects got up In honor of the kaiser's silver jubilee. For his majesty has let It be" known that he desires no gifts for himself, but would like to see the money collected to com memorate his Jubilee spent on c-hari uible -md public objects, onu uf th first schemes was tu collect enough i> present a mugniflcent new steam yacln to the kaiser, lhe Hohciii-olleru bela Old, stow, and, according to recun ministerial declarations in the relch Stag, in view of what Happened to tli Titanic, not even safe, on all suci lavish giving as this the kaiser fr.iwn -id consistently. So that the sums collected in every town and commun In the empire will be spent on home fnr orphans, Invalids and veterans, ol hospitals, libraries, baths, ucholar Mips, open spaces, country and sea (tide excursions for poor children, an wltat not, and there will be no add! tlons to the piles of costly fulilllle for which the kaiser, like every utlu- monarch, has to provide housing roan Many million--- of newly designed all Ver coins will 'be let loose upon th land in commemoration of the doubl anniversary. Already 3,000,000 three- mark, and'2,000,001) two-mark piece- showing upon ono side the Oerma eagle holding tlie Cnrslcan snnke in il elnws, and upon the other the kaiser' great-gra ml fat her Frederick Wllllan II] of Prussia, calling his lieges nniun him tu the victorious campaign of 1811 have been struck off. Boon there wli lie another new Issue uf kaiser silver JuMlee coins of the same value. TIi'pk will show the knlsiir as he now is, I: cu!rnssier uniform, with the famoti eagle-crowned helm.

The Kaiser's Opinion of Himself What William II thinks about him self and his reign the world know from his own lips. The gift of silence is not his. He will listen to a ife'lUff- of flattery this year. The presses ol Germany groan with the weight o: kaiser jubilee literature which will soon flood the bookstalls. In mnst 6 the forthcoming works he will hr given the credit for all the progrcn: made In, Germany during his reign The army, the navy, industry, sCiehci art and learning—these are n few of the things with which he has occuplei himself. All have made huge Btrlile: In Germany since he came to thi throne, and it will be said that iiu kaiser pushed them forward. It Is i tradition already that tho kalse islounds every expert, he comes In contact with by Ills knowledge' uf thi man's special Btflijbc't. Tliere can la nu question thai U.y memory Is pro aliglous. All tho same, It Is probabli that- If another had occupied tin throne Germany would nut have beei much poorer or less learned than sht Is today. One great Institution of modern Germany Is peculiarly the kalserV own, and he should be given full credit fop It.- It Is the magnificent war navy now tho second in the world, of wide! a donen years ago none but he coul- have dreamed. Up to the beginoiai of the century the Imperial navy con- sisfed of a few small coast defend vessels. In 1807, when Prince Hear; was sent out to the Orient tn lax. possession of Uie newly acquired settlement of Kiaoehau, the world laugh ed at the tum-blcdnwn old battleshl- In which he made the voyage. It hai to be repaired In every other port o; the route. The kaiser has chnngeil ai, that. At the present time there Is ai 'ntcrnntionul fleet off Constantinople no ship of which makes a better showing thnn the new German battle cruiser Goeben. The army, another peeulinr pbjec' of the kaiser's care, numbered 4%Lj&6f officers and men 25 years ago. In tin present yonr the relehstag will vote appropriations for some 670,000 of di] ranks. Two years hence the peaet effective will hove risen to nver 800,000 officers and men. In recent yerirs the army has complained a good deal ir favor of the navy. It hardly looks ni if these complaints were very well founded. During the reign the popu lation has increased from 50,000,000 to 65,000,000. Foreign trade has more than doubled and now stands at over 3,500, 1100,000. Them are 47 cities In tho empire ■* lb a population of over 100,000- Thc nntioiral wealth has increased tt' something like $50,000,000,000. The death tate has fallen from 2(5 to 17 per 1000 of the population. Shipping, mining, railways have multiplied. Everywhere there Is the same tale of giguntic expansion and prosperity. Let It be added, that tliere has been development of the political life of Germany, and that the Increase In thc Socialist-vote Is the most startling Increase of all. Year Well Begun The kaiser inaugurated his Jubilee year .age "dt -till 'iluitgb . .he Cumberland Quelpts and .tlma viping out an old quam-l m whieh ighl and fair play wen- i'>" «« mea'nj* II on tbe side of bis hmise.

Reports of the affair differ, but It appears that n party of German men and women, ivlib wcty' visiting Nancy, were Insulted at a place of entertainment there; that afterward they were eub- .ecteil tu worse Insults iu a restaur* int, and that finally, they were practically driven out of the town by a •rowd of Jeering Frenchmen who did not cease their abuse until Ibe trail: carrying the Germans away started from the station. Foreign Secretary von Jaego "rmed the relohstng this afternoon thut the German unibasr-ndor in Paris bail been promptly Instructed to take the necessary steps to obtain an Invest! nation. If the unofficial report proves true thc ambassador Is to "make representations in regard to hie inadequate protection afforded to 'Jerm.ins In France". The reich'stag greeted the foreign secretary's statement with demonstrative cheers. Herr Von Jaeguw said: "Up to the present hour our Information concerning the Nancy Incident has been confined to press despatches. If the ncWB is confirmed to thc full extent to which It i« Unofficially reported I should certainly describe it •s highly regrettable. It would, how- •ver.' be proof of how much the no- tluns of French chauvinists, or which the Imperial chancellor recently spoke in the relchstag, must give rise misgivings". Eyon sober newspapers like tlie l-okal Anzelger and the conservative Arouse Zeltung are publishing violent attacks denouncing the conduct of tin crowd at Nancy in unmeasured terms and Insisting that the German government must not shrink from sharp measures to Insuro that Germans shall not be the victims of similar incidents ln the future. i The organ of the war party Is exploiting the affulr to the full. The Berliner Neuest Nachrichtcn, lhe mouthpiece of the navy league and the armor plate Intcreats, declares thai the French; have affronted the "honor" of Germany and that the imperial government cunnot refrain from demanding adequate reparation. Thc I.okal Anzelger which, is sometime** the mouthpiece of thc government on such occasions, refers f-urcastlcall; the "knightly nation" and adds: "If Frenchmen's sense of decency and politeness with regard to Germany keeps on degenerating it will be impossible for our government to avoid taking far reaching measures to in sure for the German name that re spect on the other side of the Vosgea which Is Its due. The French gov eminent will do well to at once see that the behavior of the Nancy Sunday crowd Is not soon repealed elsewhere by patriots of the same ilk". The Krens Zeltung says: "We hope that the Instructions sent to the German ambassador at Paris will be brought to hear in a vigorous way". France is Surprised PARIS, April 16.—The exaggerated Importance given by the German press to an insignificant tipsy brawl In a music hall nt Nancy excites great surprise In France. The feeling here Is absolutely calm and dignified. Arlen Hebrard, editor of Le Temps, says: "Only a few days ago the French people and government gave a true measure of courtesy and good feeling during the Zeppelin incident, which resulted' In a better understanding on both aides of thc frontier. It seems iow «s if the Germany jingo press, vexed nt this, bus decided to destroy i favorable Impression And has ungrlly ielzed on the Nancy music hall brawl to create trouble by accusing the French people of blackguard manners, cowardice and brutality. We hnve dono nothing to provoke such a storm of vituperation. While refraining from answering hack tho) French paoph draw their own conclusions and luk. due note of the warning". NELSON PENSION PERPETUAL Several journals which ought know better, have been telling us that the Nelson pension uf i; fiOOO n yeai woh granted for a term of three live.' only. The pension, as repeated demands In the house of commons for commutation testify, Is a perpetual one, and the new Bar] Nelson will enjoy it. When "retrenchment and reform" was a fashionable nhrase, It was usual to point out lhat the. nation had spent a vast amount of money—not on the victor of Trafalgar—but on li 'h more or less distant relatives. Recently u list was compiled which included prize money, pensions, and grants of several sorts to wife, sisters and brothers, amounting to nearly £800,000. Perpetual pensioners are to be found 'n France ns well as in this country. Un August I'l, 1755, tho Dauphin, son of Louis XV, when out rabbiting, ac- ctdently shot Yves do la Boissiere, one ->f his sulle. As a compensation a pension of £240 was conferred on Boissiere, with remainder to his heir.'; In perpetuity. Despite the many changes in the form of government, this pension hns been paid ever since. and no member of the budget committee hnH ever suggested stopping 11 —London Chronicle. |Beware of Imitations Sold on the Merits of Minard's Liniment VACUUM TUBES PRESERVE COTTON The third annual opening of cotton sample.-*, first stored In vacuum by the department of agriculture in 1910, took place recently.

These changes wrought by nature have compelled frequent changes on the part of tho inhabitants. The original city was built not far from Ayasolouk, and "the whole Epheslan valley was an arm of the sea dotted with rocky Islands and bordered by picturesque mountains and wooded promontorlles," we are told. As the sea receded In the course of the centuries, thc population moved with It, until the Roman city, the city of St. I'nul and St. John, was Hinue miles from the original site. At last this port became impossible, and the inhabitants moved farther back, nearer to the site of the moro ancient city, where today thc few inhabitants that still remain lire found.—Christian Herald.
