CITY ASSESSMENT
SHOWS INCREASE
i Gain in Local   Land Values
Is Proved by Actual Sales
FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND GAIN
Valuations on  Roll Are All
Advanced but Are Below
Market Price,
Proof that the nsscsHtncnt on real
estate in Nelson Is generally very
much lower thnn the actual sale value
of Iho property was furnished at the
meeting oflhe court of revision of the
city assessment roll yesterday morning, when some protests were entered.
For this year the total assessment
Is $4,321,396, against a total of $3,883,-
180 last year, nn increase of $138,216,
made up chiefly of Increased land
values. Assessment on land this year
totals $1,886,271. and the total aSBCSSUO
value of Improvements Is $2,135,125.
In replying to protests made by
Harry Bird regarding the assessment
of Baker street property, W. K. Wasson, city clerk and assessor, explained that the assessment on property on
the main business thoroughfare had
been increased at the uniform rate of
$1,000 per 25-ft. lot At llle far ends
of tills street the Increase was proportionately less. On Victoria and Vernon streets tho basis of increase had
been $250 per 25-ft. lot, while the uptown district valuation!) had been raised 10 per cent.
Value Justifies Large Increase.
Mr. Illnl claimed that Baker street
was paying too great a proportion of
tho total tuxes of the city, and tn«;
the increase this year was unfair. Ho
protested against nn assessment of
{8,700 on tot 4, block 10, Baker street,
where his office la located, and declared that an Increase of 33 per cent had
been made in two years.
Mr. Wasson replied that the Increases made had hesirimsod on actual
sales which hud taken place, and remarked that there was no doubt that
values of real estate in Nelson had
very materially increased, particularly
in tho business district. As instances,
ho quoted a property consisting of a
portion of three lots on Victoria street
which had sold last fall for $14,000; n
SO-ft. lot across the street from Mr.
Bird's building which had been sold
for $10,000; lots 1 and 2 In block 6
which had sold for $24,000; the corner
of Hall and Baker, a 60-ft. lot, which
had been disposed of for $21,000, and
quoted the value of the improvements
on each lot to show that the assessment in each case was equitable.
Tho board decided that the assessment on lot 4 was fair, and refused lo
. grant the appeal.
On lots 0 and 10, block 6, at the corner of Baiter and Hall streets, the
board, on the application of Mr. Bird,
reduced the total assessment of $ll,40y
on the land by $1,000. Although the
assessment against which protest was
made was shown to be on the same
basis as that of other property in tho
same block, the board, afler a lengthy
argument, agreed to make the reduction, Mr. Bird laying stress upon the
fact that although the property was
on a corner the side street was blind
and consequently of little benefit.
Sale  Prices Above Assessment.
Mr. Wlrd also protested against the
assessment of lots 20 to 24, block 86,
'Baker street, on which is built his
residence, claiming that $7,415 for the_
five lots waa t*i high. Mr. Wasson"
quoted the sale of two lots In tho
.same block at $7,000 with a house, of
one lot with a shack at $3,750 and of
another with a shack at $4,000 in support of the assessment, und the board
decided that It should stand.
Mr. ISlrd's protests against an assessment of $3,800 on lots 7, S and 0,
block 87, Baker street, owned by Mrs.
Barbura Robertson; an assessment of
$14,500 on the land only of lot 11,
block 0, a 50-ft. lot on which is built

JOHANNESBURG, July 8.—The

The few outbreaks among the natives
which have occurred have been dealt
firmly with by the police and In most
cases tho natives are returning to

Many arrests have been made In

Widespread Discontent.
(Bv Dally News Lenned Wire.)
LONDON, July 9.—The Johannesburg correspondent of the Chronicle
In a long Interview of tiie situation
from the miners' standpoint declares
that the strike In the Hand district
Is a symptom of deep-seated and
widespread discontent with the capitalist regime, In which the Botha
government and the mining houses
are regarded as co-operating against
the workers.
As the entire press Is controlled by
the mining magnates, the correspondent adds, all attempts to obtain redress by constitutional means have
been a failure. The principal grievances of tbe men were tbe terrible
mortality in the mines, the attempts
to cut prices, refusal of a minimum
wage, refusal to recognize the union,
tho unsatisfactory piece work system
and the insecurity of employment.
The correspondent Is very severe on
t*.:ti caiu.dynicht of troops, whom, he
Buys, fired on crowds which, with very
few exceptions, were absolutely orderly, standing up unarmed to bo
shut at.
Natives Join   Strike.
JOHANNESBURG, July 8.—Six
thousand native black laborers from
three of the. large gold mines on the
Rand joined in the labor upheaval this
morning. Should tiie disaffection
among them spread to the other 260,-
000 native employes on the reef it will
mean the white Inhabitants will be
confronted again with tho "black
peril" which has been quiescent for
Home years. The natives refused to
descend the mines unless granted an
increase of wages, nnd 1.000 employed
in one mine broke out of their compound. They were, however, awed by
tho levelled rifles of the troops who
had been posted to deal with tbls
serious development, nnd they returned to their quarters.
Most of the white strikers have returned lo work.
Demands  Recall  of Troops.
I'RRTOIUA, July 8.—The provincial
council today adopted a resolution Introduced by Councillor Ware, a Labor
member, sympathizing with the relatives of the men, women and children
shot at Johannesburg. Mr. Ware gave
notice that he would Introduce tomorrow a resolution condemning the action of the government in depriving
the people of Johannesburg of the
right of free speech and to hold public meetings, and demanding the recall
of Viscount Gladstone, governor-
general of the Union of South Africa,
for the part he took In causing the Imperial troops "to shoot and kill innocent, InoffendlnR and defenceless men.
women and children," and the immediate recall of the Imperial troops from
South Africa because they wore used
"only to coerce the working classes
and protect the privileges of the favored few."
The railway men, who wore out on a
sympathetic strike, resumed work to-
day.

(By Dallv NSWS Leased Wlro >
WASHINGTON, July 8.—Tho United States won three out of the first
four cases to be decided by the American and British claims tribunal which
recently completed Us Initial sessions
at Washington and Ottawa. These
cases involved four of the numerous

NEW York, July 8,—-Peace overtures   ceased   here   today   between   •!">
eastern railroads and loo.ooo riiemuers
of the Order of Railway Conductors
and the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, afler tbe employes repre-
Hcnatlves in conference with ftie railroad managers announced that 91 per
cent of the men had voted to strike
for increased wages. Final action on
the proposed lie-up remains with the
general committee of 1,000 of the conductors and trainmen's organisations,
and a meeting has been called for
Saturday, it Is the unanimous opinion In operating circles thai the strike
vole will be ratified unless the companies meanwhile offer to pay more
wages, or are willing to submit the
dispute to arbitration. During the negotiations today the Erie railroad una
its two subsidiaries, tho New Jersey
& New York and the Susquehanna &
Western withdrew, leaving 42 roads in
tbe conference. The Erie claims that
the increase demanded represents an
annual cost to the three roads of li,1-
100,000, and that system in paying this
sum would suffer in safety uppliances
nnd equipment.
The conference committee of managers will meet next Monday to consider the decision of employes general
committee. The railroads are then
expected to Issue their ultimatum.
It was said today that at no time
during the session was the Erdman
act mentioned, but comment among
railroad officials nnd union representatives tonight showed a general expectation that the men would appeal
for arbitration before defiantly deciding to walk out.

OTTAWA, July 8.—The Evening

railway will this autumn press its application for authority to issue $60,-

was not pressed. Instead of doing so,
certain rights were exercised of issuing common stock in lieu of debenture stock. This was done at $175.

LONDON, July 8.—An arson squad
of militant suffragettes burned down
tho country residence of Sir William
Ii. Lever, founder of Port Sunlight
and chairman of the Liverpool School
of Tropical Medicine, early this morning. The mansion, which Is called
"The Bungalow," Is located at Rlvlng-
ton, near Norwich, Lancashire. It was
not occupied liy the family, but contained valuable paintings and other
precious objects, all of which were
consumed, A message was left by
the Incendiaries stating that If Sir
William Lever had been as loyal to
the suffragettes as Lancashire was to
tiie King, who Is how paying a visit
to the industrial centres, the fire
would not have happened.
The damage to Sir William Lever's
residence amounted to over (100,000.
Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, In the How

was ordered by the magistrate to find
surety in ?12,000 for good behavior for

ChrlBtobel Pankhurst is angry over
the .statement published in tbe continental edition of the Daily Mall re!
ative to the decadence of tho militant
movement, which was summarized in
a Western Associated Press despatch.
She telegraphed to London as follows:
"I noticed the libellous statements In
the Dally Mall, This Is another ex-
ample of the scandalous tactics used
against the suffragette movement
from its early days till now. The union Is splendidly strong financially and
in every other way. These untruthful
and malicious statements will stimulate our friends to further service.
Rvll will turn into good. Coercion and
hostile newspaper tactics, us always,

SYDNEY, N.  S.,    July    8.—Fifteen

cause of the strike is that no horse

(Hy Dally Xews Leased Wire.)
LONDON, July 8,—The Balkan war

the powers will make no attempt to

formal declaration of war against Bu.

Official Greek despatches claim
great victory at Doiran, where tht>'
Hulgarlans, recently reinforced, were
in superior strength to tbe (.reeks.
The latter assert that a whole division ot Bulgarians was completely destroyed and that the Bulgarians fled
in such a precipitate manner that they
even left loaded guns behind. This
victory Is considered of great Importance, because Doiran was the Bulgarian victualling centre and all tho
provisions fell Into the hands of the
Greeks. It Is reported from Sofia
that the tenth Bulgarian division,
which relnformed Gen. Ivanoff, was
brought from the Tchatalja district.
This seems to indicate compliance
with the Turkish demand that the Bulgarians evacuate Turkish territory.
The Bulgarians are taking the offensive against Nlsh, according to announcement from Sofia.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 8.—Bulgaria has replied to the request of the

Fierce Attack.
(By Dally  News  Leased  Wire.)
LONDON, July 0.—The Bulgarians
are fiercely attacking Pierot, on the
Belgrade-Sofia railway, according to
a Belgrade despatch to the Mall. A
Sofia despatch to tho same paper says
that the Bulgarian army captured 10
guns at Konaghvatz, north of Nlsh.
The third army has destroyed between
Vrana and Leskovatz seven bridges on
the railway connecting Macedonia and
Belgrade. It Is reported that the fifth
army, marching from Eustendll, has
succeeded in joining the forces near
Kotchana.
A Sofia despatch to a London news

the Servians being repulsed with very
severe losses.   The Bucharest corre-

Specialization
A great deal Is said in a disparaging way about the modern
tendency toward specialization.
The time was when barbers
were also doctors, when you
could get a. man who would pull
your tooth or shoe your horse
with equal willingness; when a
woman, wanting the ruffles for
her underskirt "pinked," would
take them to thr undertaker to
bo done.
There may have been a certain unqiuo charm about such
combinations of occupations,
but tbe quality of the service
rendered must have been somewhat uncertain.
Nowadays practically every
man and woman tn tho productive business world, works along
sorno certain well-defined line.
The result of this specialization
Is shown in the immense ad-
vance there has been In the
quality and variety of articles
put into the market for general
consumption.
The medium through which
the public is informed of the
best of these articles and their
place of sale Is the advertising
columns of the reliable newspapers.
Local dealers should co-operate with Ihe "hustle" for the
manufacturers who use local
newspaper advertising to ex-
ploit the products they handle.
The Bureau of Advertising,

BAYNES FARMERS'
INSTITUTE STARTED
Agricultural  Commission  Take*  Evidence—Irrigation Supply Guaranteed by Company.
especial to the Daily  Nt«ws..
BAYNES LAKE, B. C, July 8- On
Friday Baynes Lake Farmers' institute
was Inaugurated with a Hat of more
than 40 members. There was a downpour at 2 p.m., the Hour fixed for tbe
opening. Consequently there was
only Imlf the expected turnout, but
the proceedings were none the less
enthusiastic. The committee Is a
Btrong one, including J. Radford, Samuel Morrow and Mr. Agnew of Elko.
The two lectures on poultry and live
stock, under tbe auspices of the Cranbrook Farmers' Institute, were not attended at all, and the two government agricultural demonstrators had
their trip for nothing, u the function
was practically not advertised.
On Wednesday, July 2, Messrs.
Campbell and Shannon were due to
take evidence on behalf of the provincial agricultural commission. Some
-ft or 30 people, some from as far
south as Gateway, attended punctually
at 2 p.m., but through a motor mishap the section of the commission
detailed for Baynes did not arrive till
all had gone away disappointed. As
soon as they arrived they got to work
with one or two witnesses from the
Immediate district, notable J. Radford,
rancher and hotel keeper, a prominent
citizen of Baynes, whose evidence
clearly and impartially set forth the
measure of responsibility of the East
Kootenay Irrigated Lands company for
tbe unsatisfactory state of agriculture
In the vicinity. At the same time he
gave full credit for the present ef*
forts of tbe company to straighten out
maltei's as far ub possible through
their solicitor, Mr. Welsh, who is also
a shareholder In the company. Mr,
Welsh came out especially from England with this object, and had succeeded In arranging matters fairly to
the satisfaction of the great majority
of the ranchers, but some eight or 10
were seriously dissatisfied still and
proposed to appeal to the government
to appoint some suitable men to Investigate fully the conditions under
which a practical deadlock In agricultural progress had come about.
Chief of these was C. Barnard. The
commissioners took his evidence at
tbe evening session, beginning at 7:30
o'clock, at which 15 people attended.
At this session J. J. Campbell briefly
and clearly defined the scope of the
enquiry.
Mr. Barnard said he came out from
England In March, 1911, having signed
a contract there to take up 10 acres
at flBO an acre as irrigated land. He
has now cleared by his own efforts
7»« acres. In August, 1911, the company gave him enough water to serve
for one row of potatoes, but this soon
ceased, and In the fall the company,
through Its secretary, admitted Us in-

NELSON, 8, C.
ability to do more. This company was
an American venture operating from
Spokane. A Mr, Devoran got an option on the land held by the company,
which lie sold to an English syndicate,
which sent out Mr. Welsh in the
spring of 1913. He got 22 of the settlors to agree not to prejudice the formation of a new company In consideration of $1,500 and <!00 shares in It
for distribution among them. The
new company promised to InBtall an
effective irrigation scheme without
delay by July, 1912. They contracted
with Americans to do this, and a Mr.
Edwards was Installed as manager.
Witness and others pressed for Information as to when they might expect
effective Irrigation after this date
passed with no irrigation, but only
got Indefinite replies and finally no
answers at all. At last they were totd
that the scheme would work by grav*
Ity and pumps, but only those places
would be irrigated which gravity
could supply. As a last recourse witness and others wrote to tho company
In England, hut got no reply. After
the first payment, which witness and
others made before leaving England,
no second payment was to be made
until the Installment of satisfactory
Irrigation. Meanwhile a land association was formed in 1911 In the Interests of the ranchers, which witness
and several others did not join. In
the spring of this year Mr. Welsh
came out again and dealt with the
questions at Issue through this association. Practically up to spring this
year no effective Irrigation was Installed on the holding, and now Mr.
Welsh refused to treat with anyone
outside the association, and held out
eviction us the only alternative to
witness and others who stood with
him In retuslng to pay any second Installment failing effective Irrigation;
and at the same time were willing to
pay a reasonable price for their land
ns uncleared and non-irrigated land,
the price to he fixed by government
arbitration. Witness waa very pleased
with his land and wished to stay under any reasonable conditions. The
commissioners were here asked to define what was meant by "satisfactory
irrigation."
Mr. Campbell said, speaking as a
plain man and as one farmer to another, hut'not as giving an authoritative pronouncement for the commission, he would say it meant the provision of such an amount of water as
was required to supplement the natural rainfall in order to produce good
crops from what was planted from
year to year.
Witness said he had spent $1,500 on
his ranch, not counting his own labor
for two years. Speaking as an engineer by profession, he did not consider any attempts to provide Irrigation
made by the first or second company
30 far made offered any prospects of
real success.
After the witness retired Mr. Campbell spoke on the measure of aid the
government was prepared to give in
promoting co-operation In the disposal
of produce. They would send down
an expert, who would first explain
these matters, and then come down
at intervals to foster any organization
springing out of their united efforts.
The government was prepared, after
satisfactory Investigation,' to advance
SO per cent of the cost of providing
building and plant, to improve railway
facilities, storage, etc., taking these
buildings and sidings as security,
Mr. Bridge, who had earlier asked
for a definition of "satisfactory irrigation," elicited some interesting
items from Mr. Campbell re the "monkey stumper," operated by hand
power.
Samuel Morrow, rancher and mill
worker, next was sworn. He said ho
came from Ontario and was raised on
a farm. Ho had worked on a fruit
ranch nine years in the Okanagan valley, and had been ranching here over
six years. He was sure mixed farming would be a certain success hero,
lie also instanced the failure of the
legitimate aid which ought to he given hy tho government to encourage
and help out farming by consistently
giving employment to local farmers'
teams In road work Instead of using
those from lumber companies at a
distance and contractors not interested In agriculture at all- He also spoke
of a large tract of government land
In BayncB behind the depot, lately
surveyed Into 10 and 20 acre lots for
futuro auction. He knew as a fact
that many local families now dependent on mill work only would only be
too glad of the chance to form homesteads on such lots were they thrown
open for pre-emption instead of auction. Such families would remain and
prosper by direct agriculture In the
district long after lumbering had
ceased there.. At present they had
to pay rent for their houses in work
or money, and the mill owners had
to build these houses with the eventual prospect of their being worthless
when logging ceased. These things
hindered future and present local agricultural development and hampered
the mill owners now. It was elicited
that this was a district eminently suited for small fruits rather than apples, as far as experience goes.
. The commission rose at 10 p.m.
On Friday, June 27, a basket dance
was given at Waldo in aid of the
school. The attendance was very
small, through bad weather, and at no
time were more than 20 couples on
the floor, hut $120 was taken in aid
of the school.
The Waldo bridge, recently swept
away, Is to be temporarily replaced

AN    ANOMALY   THAT   CANNOT
REMAIN.
Now that the question of Senate reform Is to the fore in Canada some
discussion has nrlsen as how this can
be brought about. The task Is not
quite so easy as many might suppose,
Although at the same time there arc
no Insurmountable difficulties in the
Way. The consent of the Senate urn.
• the House of Commons, of course.
must be obtained. There would also
have to be ratifying legislation by the
Imperial parliament, and some go so
far as to say that the consent of the.
various provinces would nlso have to
be obtained.
Among those who hold this last view
Is' Senator Belcourt of Ottawa, a law
yer of more than ordinary ability, who
has made considerable study of con
slltutlonal law. In a recent statement
on the subject he says:
Any of the provinces would he
entitled to challenge any essential change or amendment not
made with the consent of all the
provinces, and accepted by the Imperial authorities as a breach of
the whole agreement (the terms of
Confederation), and would, therefore, have the unquestionable
right to withdraw from Confederation.
No change could be made without the sanction of the Imperial
authorities. And the latter would
pe recreant to their duly and their
. ^-obligation and their trust If they
'gave their sanction to an amendment not accepted by ull the parties.
■While It will be apparent that no
change can he made without a lot
of necessary preliminary negotiations,
it.Is safe to say that the provinces and
the people of Canada would offer no
objection to such amendment as would
at least make the ....per house a representative body. And perhaps ii
would not be wide of the mark to »».>
that there would he little, If any, opposition from the provinces or the
people of Canada to a measure
abolishing the Senate altogether.
But whether there may be strong or
weak opposition to any measure
, which may be advanced for the reform
or-the abolition of the Senate some
change along either one of these two
lines is bound to come within the next
few years, whether the Borden govs' eminent remains In power or not. The
Senate as at present constituted Is an
. anomaly which cannot continue to
oxlst In a young country enjoying representative government as docs
Canada.
which will be paid over for the support of his wife and children.
In Seattle they arc trying out tbe
plan. A fortnight ago what Is known
"The Lucy Husband's Law" came
Into effect there. When a man Is too
lazy to work, or when he deserts his
family, he la proBeruted under this
law, and put to work and wages paid
to his family. Some distance outside
the city is a tract of sixty-five acres
of wooded and rocky land, on which
these men are placed under guard.
Their tusk is to clear it up and adorn
it with stone fences. It Is useful work,
needs doing, and produces results
worth paying for. Men who do not
support their families are thus compelled to do so, which is a much more
sensible way of dealing with them than
merely shutting them up while those
dependent on them ure left without
Bupport.
What  the Press Is Saying
Rule and Woman.
The following Btory seems appro*
prlate to the wild times we live In,
and the wild women that make them.
The clever Duchesse de Bourgoyne
once asked Louis XIV. of France why
England was so well ruled. In spite of
the fact of their being no Salic law.
Well," said the king, "because the
women who rule In England are advised and ruled by men. So that In
reality the country Is guided by men."
"Then .why Is France so badly ruled,
when only men are allowed to reign?"
naked the duchesse.
"Because the French sovereigns aro
always under the Influence of women," answered the monarch, "and the
country Ib therefore ruled by
women."—The Sphere.
Hot Weather Advice.
Advice for the hot weather period
Is banded out by a New York doctor
as follows: "Eat as little as possible,

bride, whose cooking Is In tbe ex*

Publicity That It Healthful.
President Woodrow Wilson not only
believes In publicity, but fully understands the great gain arising from the
dissemination of correct information.
More than any president that ever sat
In the White House, he has systematized presidential publicity. The
president receives all of the accredited
newspaper and press association cor*
respondents every Monday morning
at 10 o'clock, and every Thursday
afternoon at 3. The meeting 1b without formalities, and any one Is at
liberty to ask all sorts of questions,

In connection with these protests
Mr. Wasson quoted lot 8 in block 12.
J. O. Patenuude hud been assessed
$5,000 for this lot, said the city clerk,
and had entered a protest, but hud
withdrawn it last week when he solo
the lot for $7,400. Another protest
made by Mr. Bird, which was not sustained, was that against a valuation
of $13,500 on the Canadian Pacific railway office property at the corner of
Baker and Stanley.
At the request of the assessor the
amount assessed against the Improvements on lots 13 to 17, block 100, owned by the Canadian Pacific railway,
was reduced by $1,600, an error having
been made. E. D. Ireland appeared for
the company.
The assessment on the improvements on lot 19, block 86, Baker street,
owned by L. N. Anderson, was reduced
from $2,000 to $1,500. The valuation
of $1,426 for the lot was sustained.
Q. A. Hunter appealed against the
assessment made on several pieces of
residential property, but none of tin
protests   were   sustained.
Mrs. N. B. Peacock, William Qob

assessment on residential property.
The valuation of improvements on the
east half of lots 0 and 10, block 41s,
owned by George Anderson, wns reduced $500, making the total assessment on the property $1,450.
Thinks Railway Assessment Too Low.
Ell sutciiffe protested unsuccessfully
against the assessment of $2,500 on a
lot on Vernon street, and of $1,250 on
a lot on Victoria street, near the An*
liable block.
The Cunudion Pacific Railway company thought that an assessment of
$1,000 per acre on the land on which
are located Its yards and shops wa
too high, and also protested against
an assessment of $S0u per acre on tho
balance of the 100 odd acres which the
company owns on the waterfront, but
the board expressed the opinion that
the valuations, if anything, were
ridiculously low.

that It should stand.

RAILWAY INTEREST
IN CONSERVATION
Large Traffic Obtainable From Timber   Districts—To   Prevent
Fires From Engine*.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
WINNIPEG, Man., July 8. — At
the forestry convention today J.
S. Dennis, chief of the natural
resources department of the Canadian
Pacific railway, spoke of the interest
of the railways In fire protection and
said that on account of the enormous
consumption of lumber by the railways, fully 5,000,000,000 feet of timber being in the equipment of the
Canadian Pacific railway at the present time, and because of the benefits
which will accrue to the country from
which the railway draws its traffic,
through the lumber Industry, the water powers and Industrial development,
ami the countless other benefits which
come througli the maintenance of a
forest cover, the railways will always
be keenly Interested in the proper
management ot the forests.
W. p. Dutton, president of the Great
West Lumber company, spoke on central western forest conditions and,
viewing the question of the division
of lands into agriculture and forest
lands, concluded that It Is very necessary to keep settlers out of districts
which are of their nature forest areas.
R. J. Daley spoke on behalf of the
province or Alberta and emphasized
the value of the forest cover on the
eastern slope ot the Rockies as a con-

serving influence on the water flow
for the wheat crops of the prairies.
Malcolm Ross, representing Saskatchewan, urged the extension of tbe
public understanding of forests and
their problems, and especially through
the establishment, of reserves Into
which the people can go for recreation.
Dr. Hugh P. Parker of the College
of Forestry, Syracuse university, outlined the work being done in his state
with regard to the creation of a strong
public sentiment In favor of reforestation and the activities of the forest
school In educating good forest engineers and rangers.
"Natural resources, potential and
actual, Is the greatest study of governments and of Individuals," said
Vice-President George Bury of the
Canadian Pacific railway, who addressed the convention on railway and
forest protection. "If governments on
this continent could be made to take
the same interest in the preservation
of natural resources of the domain
that Is being taken by Individuals imbued with only the love of country,
the face of this continent would be
changed in a, generation. Your association exists because you believe that
every man, woninn and child In the
country should understand the need
of preventing the needless waste of
the timber resources, and a search of
the records of this company will show
just how the executive officers sympathize with you in the undertaking.
"The Canadian Pacific railway, outside of the government of Germany,
has probably made the most elaborate study of the preservation of forests of any organization In the world.
The privately owned forests of Germany are nurtured with all the care
that highly educated forest experts
can give, and that Is what our company is doing hy having the forest
tracts it owns guarded and patrolled
by the most elaborate system that can
be suggested.
"Study of the natural resources of
the country has been made by this
company with a two-fold purpose: to
estimate the amount of traffic that
may be derived from year to year in
the territory adjucent to the line, and
what production can foe made from
the timber and still preserve it to
such an extent that 100 years hence
forestry preservation and timber production will be bo advanced that the
yield and revenue will be greater in
the same territory than today."
Mr. Bury went on to explain the
elaborate precautions taken to prevent
locomotives starting fires, and added
that the federal and provincial governments must go further in this direction than has yet been done.
"It has heen estimated that the rev-
enue derived by a railway from the
production of one acre of heavily timbered land is equal to the accumulated
traffic of an acre of agricultural land
for 30 years," said Mr. Bury. "You
will thus see what the preservation of
forests adjacent to its lines means
to a railway. The opening of timber
tracts by a railway is followed by an
Influx of trappers, prospectors, surveyors and settlers, each Intent upon
his own interests, and without the restraint of organized authority."
Forest Taxation.
After detailing what the company
has been doing to safeguard its timber and the reserves in British Columbia, Mr. Bury concluded hy advocating an equitable system of forest
taxation, calculated to encourage corporations and Individuals to acquire
and afforest landB for agriculture.
Slash Danger,
H. R. Macmillan, chief forester of
British Columbia, In his paper on "Forestry Progress In British Columbia,"
dwelt on the question of slash disposal and claims that the great proportion of forest fires in the Dominion
comes from the slash In the woods, ot
which he said 673,000 acres were cre
ated every year. '\
He paid a warm tribute to the power
of the Canadian forestry association
In creating the attitude 'Which will
bring about proper management of
timber lands.

WHEAT CROP IS    '
EQUAL TO BEST
Canadian Northern Well Prepared to
Handle Bumper Crop—Reports
Uniformly Favorable.
(By Daily News Leased Wlre.1
TORONTO, July 8.—"There Is every
indication that the wheat crop this
year will l»e equal to the best yield
In the past and the Canadian Northern railway will be in better shape
than ever before to take care of it."
■ This Is what Sir William Mackenzie,
who has returned from a tour through
the west, suid today about prospects
out there. "I was not through the
whole country myself," he went on,
"but the reports of our officials
throughout the west are uniformly favorable,   I expect a very large crop.
"We shall be In good shape to handle a bumper crop. We have more
rolling stock and our lines are In better condition. Our terminal facilities
aro excellent. If we find the strain
at Port William getting severe we
can switch over to Duluth, By the
middle of the winter I expect we shall
be able to move grain right to Montreal by rail. The connecting lines
are rapidly approaching completion.
At -present, of courBe, the Canadian
Pacific affords the only means of shipping grain east, but In another few
months there will be three—the Grand
Trunk Pacific and our own line us
well."
"Do you expect the present financial stringency to affect the movement of the crops unfavorably?" ho
was asked.
''No, I don't think bo. The banks
always seem to be able to scrape together enough for that."

Hunter, M.I'.r. for the Sloean riding,
viflted Glenhaiik on July 2, and, accompanied by Murdoch McLean, wa*
driven through tho ranching district,
Inspecting roads on which tho government lias already done work, also
several where Improvements have been
suggested. Mr. Hunter expressed hlm-
seir as greatly surprised with the
growth made since his last visit some
two years ago,
A meeting of the Glenbank Improvement assoelatloii wan held on Wednesday evening in the school building
with about 30 present. G. H. Gardner
presided.
When called <m, Mr, Hunter gave a
brief outline of the government's policy In helping the farmer, both directly and Indirectly, The speaker alsr
announced definitely that a :t3-ft. road
allowance had been appropriated fr
thc Peters properly, and would be put
into fairly good Condition during the
prcseni season, thus* connecting the
settlers on the Brouse road with those'
on Victoria .road, The fact that this
land, an old erywit grant, had never
been registered, made It possible for
tbe government to take over anything
under one-twentieth of the original
quarter section. .
Several oja'slions regarding detain,
of road-making, toed supply, etc., were

NELSON LODGE
■ Tho Grand Organizer having been
called as Fraternal Delegate to a
meeting of the Grand Lodge of the
United States at Rochester, N. Y., the
Institution of the local lodge has been
further postponed until July 22nd. Until that date applications will bo received at the office of the local organiser.
Special rates have been secured on
the C.P.R. from Rossland and intermediate points for the occasion, and a
large delegation from the Grand Lodge
will be present to assist in tbe ceremonies.
THE ELKS
Are purely a fraternal Order, and not
organized for gain, Insurance or profit; they do, however, voluntarily aid
most fully wherever the needs and
circumstances require. It stands preeminent among Organizations where
the Lodge and Club privileges are
Joined; it Is neither sectarian nor political, building solely upon Its social
merits, and as such is justly recognized as most fully meeting the wants
of the Twentieth Century business
man, the professional man, and the artisan. The fact that it is Dominion
wife In Its scope, affording to its
members the fullest extension of social courtesies wherever Elks' clubs
exist, Is one of the reasons why it has
become the leading Order of Its kind
on the North American continent today.
Applications received at the office
of F, A. Starkey, or evenings at the
Hume Hotel.
FEE $20.00.
G. E. BLINN,
Deputy Grand Organizer,
We "Get Down"
to Business
Quickly when sent for in such cases
of emergency as the Illustration
shows. Thus, wo save our customers
a deal of damage, and "make good"
the leakage In a short time. Send for
us to do new or old plumbing and you
will get the best and most conscientious work, done In a thoroughly practical way for a very reasonable charge.

"Enry Woman Should Take
"Fruit-a-tives"
Lakelet, Ont., May 12th. 1911
"Kindly publish this letter of mine
If yon think it will benefit other women
who might be afflicted with tbe diseases
I have had in tbe past, but am now,
thanks to "Fruit-a-tives", completely
curedof. It is uiy firm belief that every
woman should take "Fruit-a-tives" tf
she wants to keep herself in good health.
Before taking •'Fniit-s-tives", I was
constantly troubled with what is commonly known as "Nerves" or severe
Nervousness. This Nervousness
brought on tbe most violent sttscks of
Sick Headache, for which I was constantly tsking doctors' medicine without
any permanent relief. Constipation was
also a source of great trouble to me snd
for which the Doctors said "I would have
to take medicine all my life", but
"Fruit-a-tives" banished all these troubles and now I am a well woman"

SUCCESS TIPS.
How many careers have been
blighted Just because the opportunity
for success has never been presented
In the right way, if at all!
Tho Want Columns are daily brimful of opportunities for scores, if they
were only watched with the care they
deserve. The wide scope of the Wants
makes them possess chances for men
and women in every walk of life, and
their neglect ofton times means disappointment.
If you are a young man, or a young
woman, looking for a career In life,
get the Want Ad habit—read the
Want Columns daily and grasp every
opportunity that presents itself. This
method will pay in the end, for, if
you nsk your successful friends,
many of them will tell you that they
found their best chance through tho
Wants,
The Dally Newa Want Ads have
meant success for hundreds of young
men and women.

DISCUSS QUESTION, |
OF D0UKH0B0RS
Member for Ymir Expresses Sympathy
With Settlers* Views—N0 Douk-
honors on Road Work.
(Special to Thu Dallv New*.)
SOUTH SLOCAN, July H.-Great interest was evinced In the general
meeting of tbe Kootenay River Conservative association, held here on
Saturday. Owing to delay in delivering tbe secretary's communication to
J. H. Schofleld, M.P.P., advising as
to hour of meeting, it was not received by the latter until after the
departure of the morning train from
Trail, with the result that the meeting scheduled for 7:30 p.m. was postponed until 'J .30.
Of some H'U members, representative ot every settlement within the
sphere of the association, assembled
In anticipation of some definite pronouncement in connection with thc
Doukhobor question, only between 30
and 40 were able to remain to greet
Mr. Schofleld.
The patience of these was rewarded by tbe two most effective speeches
the association has yet had the privilege of hearing—those of the local
member and K. L, Lee of Bonntngton-
Houtiiie' business was summarily
disposed of to permit discussion of
the main Issues, This Included tbe
election of 11 new members and,
through the remission of office for
one cause or another of their predecessors, three executives. Those chosen were John Kay, representing Granite district; William Simms, Crescent
valley, and G. H. Ashby, South Sloean.
Tbe president stated that the meeting had been convened and Mr. Schofleld asked to attend In consequence
of resolutions passed at a. special
meeting of tbe association a fortnight
previously. The principal of these
recommended the exclusion of Douk-
hoborn from public works and the pre
vention of their further encroachment
on the district. The member and thc
superintendent of roads had shown
themselves in accord with the views
of the members by instructing the
dismissal of those now employed—an
action greatly appreciated, He asked
that Mr. Schofleld give the meeting
his views on this subject.
Mr. Schofleld replied that it afforded him much pleasure to have this opportunity of stating his convictions he-
fore the association. At no time had
the present government of British Co^
Inmhiji permitted the employment of
DoukhoborB or Chinamen on public
works, and in every instance preference bad been given to British subjects. It was true that, up to the
present, Doukhohors had been employed In the capacity of tcamBters
on the roads. He doubted whether
the government was within Its rights
In dictating to tbe owners of teams
who should or who should not handle
them. Naturally the owner would
wish to use his own discretion in the
choice of a teamster and would choose
the man best adapted to that purpose,
Irrespective of his nationality. Still,
nt the.express wish of this association,
he had asked Mr, Benney to instruct
the removal of the.men In question,
His statement was met with hearty
applause.
He fully realized the handicap under which ranchers and others were
working in competition with communal and Independent Doukhohors,
Still theso people had established a
footing In the country and under the
laws of the province were entitled to
the same degree of protection as any
other individuals. His sympathy was
most heartily with those responsible
for this protest, hut It was useless to
regard the issue from other than a
practical standpoint and on what
grounds could the government legitimately uproot and deport these people.
B, Turner Lee followed with a telling speech, frequently punctuated by
applause, Briefly sketching the origin and history of the Doukhobor
community up io their arrival In this
province, he made apparent, the main
reasons for which It was Impossible
for local ranchers to work and live
In unison or to compete with thc
community. Already there were tangible results of the evil this system
was working. British settlers had
ceased to come, to the district. Ranch
products were raised and disposed of
by the community at priceB with
which no other rancher could contend.
He instanced potatoes, now selling at
$5 por ton delivered. He deprecated
the action of tile government In permitting their entry to the province.
He called upon them now to provide a
remedy. ^
Mr. Schofleld took decided Issue
with the speaker at this point. Mr.
Lee, he said, confused a federal with
a provincial issue. It was Liberal
misrule of the previous regime they
had to thank for the emigration of
the Doukhohors to Canada. Not one
Doukhobor had entered the Dominion
since Premier Borden took the reins
of government, ami his hearers could
rest assured they would he rigidly excluded henceforward. He would like
to suggest that the association ask R.
P. Green, M.P., to Include the head*
quarters at South Sloean in his itinerary of the riding next month. The
member for Kootenay had an established reputation as a conscientious
fighter in any good cause, and there
were none in the house today who had
the welfare of their constituents more
truly at heart.
The president thanked 'Mr. Schofleld
for his courageous and straightforward expression of his views. The
question was one which peculiarly affected this locality and anyone with
foresight must realize that eventually
either the citizen or the Doukhobor
must go. With all good will to Peter
Verlgln and his lieutenants, be would
prefer to remain subject to the present government of British Columbia.
Into this the choice must eventually
refine itself.
On the motion of Charles S. Brock-
Ington the secretary was instructed to
write R. F. Green asking him to meet
the association and assuring him a
most hearty reception from his constituents here.
Mr. Schofleld promised his good offices In this connection and In the
event of Mr. Green acceding, promised
to be also present.
The member then dealt with the
question of supplementary appropriations for road construction between
South Sloean aud Taghuni bridge and
HE SAlD-""This salt is nice and dry. Yesterday the salt wu m
damp that we couldn't get it out of the shakers. Did you put it ia
the oven tnd dry it r"
SHE SAID-»No. This is "REGAL", made from WINDSOR
SALT. Our grocer told me about it. He said it would stay dry and
free running at all seasons of the year."
HE SAID—"He is right.

This certainly is a damp day and this
SHE SAID—"And this REGAL SALT comes in nice, clean wood-
fibre cartons, coated with paraffin. That protects the salt from dust,
dirt, moisture and odors—which affect salt put up in bags. I certainly
do like Windsor Regal Salt—and I like our grocer for telling
me about it"

necessary expenditures, but in the absence from the province of the minister he could venture no definite

With repaid to the Taghuni bridge
the contract had been let and construction would soon he under way.
His hearers could rely upon road access to N'elson at an early date.
Many minor matters were dtectiuBed
nnd after a hearty vote of confidence
In the member had been carried by

made at 11:30 p.m.
