DEFAULTING MINES
ON UNFAIR LIST
Legislation     for    General
Eight-Hour Day* Is Uescri-
ed—Next Convention-Here.
.Becuuse the courts have decided
that a cook, and In some Instances
teamsters, employed by mines cannot
collect wages through the mfdlum of
the Mechanic's Lien act and because a
mortgage un a mine almost invariably
takes precedence of a mechanic's lien,
District No. 6 of the Western Federation of Miners, nt the closing sessions
of its annual convention at Nelson,
yesterday passed a-resolution instruct-,
ing thc district executive to communicate with 'the attorney-general and
ask that the statutes be amended in
order that what was described as the
beneficent purpose of the Mechanic's
Lien 'act might be better carried into
effect. The matter was brought to
the attention of the convention in a
letter to the Nelson Miners' union from.
Fred C. Moffatt, a Nelson lawyer, who
has conducted some cases for members of that organization. Cooks were
excluded from collecting wages under
the act and it had been decided that
while teamsters employed in 'hauling
ore.had a right to file Hens those who
hauled supplies to mines had no such
remedy.
Under another resolution, which was
pasaed, mines, mills or smelters which
default in- the payment of wages to
employes under the jurisdiction of the
Western Moderation-in District No. 6
will be placed on the -unfair -list until
the claims of-the workmen'have been
satisfied.
Parliament was asked to bring down
legislation to enforce a general eight-
hour day.
•With the idea .of educating members
of the federation against the bonus,
piecework and con-tract system.}, tlie
district constitution will be amended
to declare against the principle of the
system and locals will be asked to
take similar action.
Next Convention Hare
Nelson waa 'chosen us the place of
the next annual convention which, under an amendment to the constitution
which was decided upon, will be held
during the last week in September instead of In Jnnuary us in past years.
Frank Phillips, secretary of Nelson
Miners' union, wns cieotod (president.
That the government be asked to
send Instructors to teach bosses and
members uf miners' unions at mines
und other works throughout the province the principles of first aid was tbe
effect of the resolution passed on that
subject.
Tho attention of the British Columbia Federation of Labor will be drawn
to tho need for legislation to compel
employers to provide baths and washrooms for employes wherever necessary.
Bndorsation was given to thc Ymir
Miners' union for Its actions in con-
"ncctlon with thc strike at tbe Queen
.mflfiTat Salmo after the situation had
been explained by W. li. Mclsaac, secretary of that union.
Stating that.the employers at tho
Vancouver Island coal mines bad refused to allow a union organizer on
■their property In spite of the fact thut
the mujorlty decision of a board of
conciliation had been against their
contention a resolution, drew tlie attention of the minister of labor to the
Injustice stated to be inflicted on tho
organization in this respect.
During the closing hours of the convention, which was declared to be one
of the most successful and valuable in
tho history of tho district, many matters of Importance to the organization
were discussed, delegates giving and.

LAID TRAP TO
Charges of Bribery to Be Investigated
NEWSPAPERMEN

Quebec Premier Says "House
Will Protect Honor of
Members,      ^
(By Daily News  Leased'Wire)
QUEBEC, Jan. 22.—M. E, Nicholls,
president of the Montreal Daily Mail
Publishing company, and B. A. Mac-
nab, vice-president and editor, will be
ordered to appear before the Quebec
parliament on next Tuesday afternoon,
when an investigation into the charges
o< corruption in the provincial bouse
made by the Dally Mali will be begun.
The legislative assembly at tonight's
session, which continued until after
1 o'clock on-Friday morning, decided
to appoint a committee to investigate
the charges.
A motion providing that the newspaper men may be represented by
counsel before the investigating committee was also passed. *
When the night session- began Ar*
mand Lavergne, member for Mont-
magny, read extracts from Thursday's
Dally Mail, and moved that Messrs.
Nicholls aud Macnab be summoned
before the bar.
"Tills is an attack," he said, "on
.the honor of the members of the
house. It is not my intention to enter into a discussion nt this time on
the merits of the case, as we might
havo to pronounce an opinion as to
judges. What I say is that those who
make charges should be summoned
to make good their charges."
"Taking up the charges against J..
0. Motisseau", member for Soulangcs,
whom the Mail accused "of accepting
money to push a Bill incorporating the
Montreal Fair r"",cla*tlon through the
committee, Mr ' -•'"■--.me continued:
"These clinf ' -ntl the threat of
more charges constituted a formidable
accusation against the honor 6f tho
house. These two accusers should be
called before the house and then the
house will judge If they must withdraw or umlertalte to prove them, and
what tribunal would-be called upon to
hear them.
"Mr. Mousseau Is one of the ablest
and most capable men hi the assembly, and wo want to know why these
accusations were  made."  .
Mr. Lavemne tben resumed his sept
and Jean Provost, membei* for Tur-
bin. seconded the motion already submitted. Mr. Mousseau, rising from
his sea. mudp a brief announcement:
"f iifk the house." he said, "to propped with tho -iimn.ntu.ent of a committee or investigation, before which
T am ready to go and give an explanation as duty and nonor Tenuires."
Mr. Mousseau then retired and In

HIGH COMMISSIONER
CABINET MINISTER
In  Touch  With   Imperial Affairs—On
''  Imperial; Defence Committee—
Resign With Government.
(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, Jan. 22.—The Evening
Journal says:
"It is probable that when the successor to Lord Strathcona is appointed, the office of Canadian, high commissioner In London will be made a
cabinet position. This will have the
direct advantage of keeping the Canadian ministry in close touch with imperial affairs, and the Canadian representative in Loudon in close touch
with the situation in, Canada. That
being so, the appointment would be
moro or less political, and would ond
with the defeat of the ministry which
made the appointment.
"It is known that the premier still
has in mind the policy he has frequently enunciated of having one of
his cabinet ministers stationed hi London, and representing Canada on the
Imperial defence committee. The imperial defence committee is a permanent body to which the overseas dominions which contribute to the defence of the empire may send representatives, Australia and New Zealand send representatives, but Canada
sends none because it does nothing
toward the defence of tho empire.
"Mr. Borden, If the senate had not
killed the naval aid bill of the government last year, had intended that
the Canadian representative in London
should have cabinet rank, and would
be the permanent Canadian representative on' the imperial defence committee."

Moving Up
the Calendar
Here is January and the merchants are talking spring,
Just run your eye over the advertising In today's newspaper
and yon see news oi" white sales,
announcements of exhibitions
of spring cotton's, and even hints
at tlie secrets of the Spring
Styles.
Merchandise used to move by
season. Now it moves by advertising. There are no dull
seasons   for   the   live retailor.
He is always ahead of the
public—and the public, always
eager for the now things, Is
mighty glad of it.
There Is no better example to
■be found anywhere of the power
of persistent advertising coupled
with good merchandising than
the success of these January
sales which all over North
America are ■•.nnounced through
newspaper advertising.
Advertising Is always a little
bit ahe-irt °f the times. That Is
what makes It so Interesting.

Political   Labor   Party   Recommended
at Mine Workers Convention-
Organization  of Women
(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 22.—
After several hours of heated debate,
the convention of United Mine Workers of America here late today, adopted
a resolution declaring that the time
had arrived, "Owing to the present
economic conditions and the machinations of the interests in many places
for tlie laboring people to come to
ffether In a political labor party."
No party was designated and no pre
parations lor j*. new party were called
for in thc resolution. Several Socialist delegates attempted to obtain an
endorsement of their party for the
laboring classes.
Mrs, S. M. Franklin, of Chicago, in-
ternatfonitl secretary of tbe Women1
Trade Union league, addressed the
delegates  today.
Mrs. Franklin said: "I would like
you men to endorse votes for-women.'
She told of the troubles in trying to
organize women. The main trouble,
she said, is the fact that girls take
work only as a makeshift, as their ultimate aim is to become a wife and
they are not particularly interested in
the labor movement.
A small tent was erected on the
platform this afternoon. Frank J.
Hays, vice-president, who bad charge
of the Colorado strike, said the tent
was taken from Forbes, Colo., tent
colony, and that it contained 147 bullet holes, made by a machine gun. Ho
suid ono man was killed and a boy
shot nine (Imes in the legs at the time
the tent was riddled.

VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 22.—An
announcement received from Ottawa
that the justice department would exercise clemency in the cases of the
men convicted of rioting at Nanaimo
and given one and two years' sentences, caused no surprise here. The
official view of the matter for some
time in Vancouver bas beeu that the
law being vindicated tlie accused
would likely be released. There are
several trials pending in New Westminster and when they have been lis-
.posed of some action from Ottawa ia
expected. As & matter of fact, Judge

Eighty Per Cent of Souris
Constituency Favors Naval
Policy,
(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, Jan. 22.—The debate on
the address pursued a somewhat uninteresting course ln the commons today. None of ,the big guns on either
side were unllmbered, and the attend-'
times was not much In excess

hours.

that the manufacturing,
and fishing industries of the
wero equally entitled to protection.   .
J* J. Hughes (King's, P. B. I.) followed with the contention that the
Increased cost of living was due to the
wanton extravagance of the government.
Dr. F. L. Schaffner (Souris) contended with vigor that the government has been particularly good to the
west and that the late administration
did nothing for that section of Canada. He said the opposition had made
a big mistake in opposing the Highways bill and that 80 per cent of the
people in his constituency were
heartily in favor of the Borden naval
policy.
O. Turgeon (Gloucester) and Donald
Nicholson (Queen's, P. E. I.) continued the discussion ln the evening
and tho adjournment was moved by
E. W. Nesbitt (Norm Oxford).
The division on the Laurier amendment will probably be taken on Tuesday. Other amendments may follow,
but that will not be definitely decided
until tite opposition holds a caucus.
The house rose at 10:30.
Shipping Regulations
At the opening of the house, Hon.
J. D. Hazen, minister of marine, introduced a bill "to amend the law
relating to merchant snipping with -i
view to enabling certalp conventions
to be carried Into effect." Tho minister explained that the bill gave adherence on tbe part of Canada to tho
provisions regarding commissions at
sea and salvage which were adopted
at the marine convention* held at
Brussels in 1910.
Hon. Hodolph Lemieux (RouvIIle)
read a letter from a Toronto business
firm complaining of the mail service
to England and said that he had heard
similar complaints from Montreal and
elsewhere.
Hon. L. P. Pelletier said in reply that
there had been dissatisfaction, but
that ft was due to the fact that new-
Allan liners, Alsatian and Cnlgarlan,
had not come into service as expected.
The Alsatian would be in Halifax this
week, however, which would improve
the service at once. The postmaster-
general added that the contract terminated in May and if other contracts
were not then made, provision would
be made to prevent any delays or inconveniences. He also pointed oat that
any mail destined for England would
be sent by New York if the envelope
bore the words "via New York."
The debate on the address was resumed by Mr. Janileson" (Digby), who
rallied Mr. Maclean (Halifax) on his
criticisms on expenditure. Mr. Jamie-
son reviewed the by-elections that had
taken place since Inst session and said
that In three cases there was not even
a Liberal candidate.
Mr. Jatnieson said the leader of the
opposition was harping on the high
cost of living today. This was duo
partly to world-wide conditions, but
It was' ulso due in Canada to tho
course pursued from 189$,to 1911. Immigration had been fostered that
brought In too few producers and too
many consumers. The need of agriculture bad been ignored and little
done, either to popularize rural life or
to  Increase production.
Mr. Jiimieson suggested remedies
for the conditions which now prevail
arising out of the lucfc of sufficient
production. They were an improvement of agricultural conditions, better roads, the establishment!of parcel
post and the extension of rural mail
delivery.
Mr. Hughes (Kings, P. K I,), In reply, said that the prime minister had
made It quite apparent that he does
not approve of the action of the senate
In reference to the naval nnd highways bills. Mr. Hughes then turned to
trade matters, and the high cost oE
living. Ho argued in favor of reciprocity In natural products. The high
cost of living, he said, hud been increased by the reckless expenditure of
the present government. He instanced
expenditure In the military department, where, lie said, the policy was
to build drill hails and armories all
over the country. Col. Soap, Hughes
had gone abroad with a party of officers and their wives, had taken 15
women secretaries, dined marquises
nnd lords, with kings and emperors,
"all In full dress." (Laughter.) Other
things /that had contributed to the high
cost of living, he said, were the gift

parish, in the shape of a Sunday .school
and  workers amongst the children.

was with great difficulty that he
reached a wharf on the east side of
the lake. In trying to keep the motor
boat from being dashed against the
wharf he stepped on a round log, his
foot slipped and he fell head first into
the lake and had to swim to reach the
wharf again. Wet through to the skin
end numbed with cold, he tried to get

for her to make the wharf he had to
etay the night at a ranch close hy. In

In tow, but when she had proceeded
about six miles It was noticed that llie
small bout was filling with water, ln

the wuter she tilted over- on one side
and a box of tools wus lost.

SELF-CONFIDENCE
Self-knowledge is lu order to self-
forgetting. The spirit of man Is like
the captain of a ship who must know
the powers and capacities, the
strength and weakness of his vessel
In order to bring it safe to port This
must he knowledge at command, ready
for use, showing him how to meet
emergencies and to make the most of
opportunities, But it will not occupy
prominent places of his mind, any
more than a consideration of his own
powers ot: mind or body will occupy
the front oi tlie mind of lhe orator,
or the man of business as he goes
to his work jn the morning.
These things of self are things to
bo learned and stored away till needed, Any captain who. in a sudden
storm, had to go back to study navigation would be a poor dependence
for the safety of the ship. A bank
clerk who had to remind himself that
two and two make four would hardly
keep his place. And a man who kept
on wondering whether his heart beat
or his memory worked, as he be^un his
work would be considered a fit candidate for Bedlam.
True self-confidence—which Is a
very different thing from Belt-conceit
and quite consistent with humility-
uses mind and body with an Intuitive
application of their powers In swift
and certain choice and decision. Here
Is an illustration ou the plane of the
body's needs. Good health is hardly
conscious of its own happiness. The
healthy man knows that there is sick
ness In tbe world, but often finds It
hard to sympathize with others In
their suffering,
His own powers are all at his com
mand without distracting his attention. On the other hand, the doctor***
know that there ure no sufferers more
troublesome and. hopeless than those
whose whole attention is focusaed on
their own ailments and alarms. The
return of heillth is like the entrance of
the Kingdom of God, "it cometh nol
with observation." The first step of
b for the self-tortured patients
would be to help them to forget themselves in some absorbing occupation

BOOSTERS CLUB
Hockey Supporters Suggest Organization—Would   Give    Publicity   to
Chahko Mika in Club Songs.
That a ."boosters' club" should be
formed by the followers of the hockey
club was the suggestion made yesterday that met with considerable discussion and general approval. It was
explained that -there were at least 160
real live hockey fans in Nelson who
would he willing to join the club,
which would prove a decided- acquisition to it and would liven up considerably the hockey gameg which will
be played at the rink In the future.
In this connection it was stated that
it would be part of the duty of the
boosters to assist the club In. arranging special trains to Rossland and
Trail to the games that will be played
in those cities. With 150 fans enrolled
In the club it would he an easy matter to raise the guarantee for the
special trains and the Nelson team
would be insured a good noisy following of rooters' not only for its home
games, but also for the games that
were played in tho neighboring cities,
It was also suggested In connection
with the boosters' club that some of
the city's musical geniuses might compose suitable songs for the club, which
would Include songs pertaining to the
Chnhko Mika and In this way another
good stroke of publicity work might
be effected.
Today It is expected that some Btejpg
may bo taken to organize tho club anil
a meeting may be called In the near
(futili'e In .order that the organization
may be completed before the belated
season commences.
The Trail club hns a boosters' pr-
ganisMitfoii and some of its good work
will, be remembered by those who attended the game In Rosslnnd recept-
ly between the Nelson and Rossland
septets when, the Troll hoys were active Nelson supporters, It. was stated
that in more ways than* one the Trail
boosters had already been of benefit
to the hockey boys of the smelter city.

WHITNEY'S  LESSON.
in the midst of such widespread regret at the severe illness of Sir James
Whitney, it is gratifying to remember that the interest the public of
Canada is taking in the misfortune of
this sterling public man denotes a
general high regard for honesty and
straightforward dealing In public life,
says the Montreal Daily Mail: Since
Ontario's premier fell ill, many of his
friends may have been surprised ut
the breadth of interest and depth of
feeling that have been shown in hla
case by the people of Canada, regardless of party.
It Is not because of the brilliancy
of Whitney's talents thai the eyes of
all Canada, bo to speak, have been
turned toward his sickroom. It Is not
because he gave Ontario p-rogresslv
government, or that he was a stron.
and courageous man. Other men hav
done that and have been such without
reaching the heart of the public as he
has reached It. But Whitney did more.
Whitney was more. He gave to his
province and to his country the priceless example of honesty and a public
trust well kept. Upon the ruins of a
* corrupt administration he laid foundations of government that will endure
and he raised a structure not unworthy
■of such foundations.
Those who were wont in former
days to speak of Whitney's bluntness,
his habit of speaking plainly, and his
passion for justice as handicaps to Ills
party, may learn their lesson now as
thousands all over Canada daily seek
the latest bulletin telling of Whitney's
condition. Not long ago Ontario gave
new-proof of her continued confidence
In his. He was entrenched in power
If the cares of office have worn tills
man out, he has weakened under nothing else but the burden of work he
undertook In the public Interest.
Whitney, sound in body and mind,
wrote into Canadian history a chapter
that would adorn the narrative of any
country's progress. If now he be dying, let us give him the full measure
of credit; let us realize that this weak,
wornout public servant, who is invoking the sincere sympathy of a nation, is thus teaching us that public
regard for honesty In the public ser
vice today is wide enough and strong
enough In Canada to be a wholesome
influence in the llfe of the country.
MARRIAGE  IN  WISCONSIN.
An alarming condition prevails in
Wisconsin. Hardly anybody Is getting married, says the Ottawa Journal.
The state legislature passed a law last
year decreeing that marriage licenses
should be Issued to only persons who
present a certificate from a reputable
doctor that they are bodily and mentally sound. This law came Into force-
January 1. A plethora of marriages
took place In December, but since thai

time hardly anybody has got spliced.
Fact Is, to say nothing of anything
else, a doctor can't honestly give a
certificate of sound health at a few
days' notice. Some of the Wisconsin
doctors say they need, six months.
Every healthy scoundrel in America ought to make for Wisconsin now.
Wisconsin has a heap of pretty girls,
a lot of them sure to have a pile of
money, and the new law will block
for a time many of the honest men
of Wisconsin going after wives. Any
good-looking blackguard who is
healthy constitutionally has now a
great chunce to make a prosperous
marriage. The new law applies only
to bodily health and mental sanity, it
has nothing to do with morals. Any
burglar, thug, debauchee, swindler or
murderer who has a good physique
and isn't an evident lunatic can get
married at a moment's notice if he
can find a girl willing. And what aro
the poor girls to do?
Well, the poor girls have one other
resource, according to some Wisconsin papers. A Milwaukee lawyer says
that under a legal precedent In Wisconsin, neither wedding ceremony nor
license is needed for a marriage—
that under the common law, all that
Is necessary for a legal union is that
two persons agree to accept each other as mutes. However, if a man asks
a girl to fix it that way and she asks
if he is afraid to try to get a doctor's
certificate, what is tbe poor man to
do?

they will have our sympathy, they
must bear the responsibility of thei-i
acts. I do not know what is ihe mo
tive of the member tor Montmagnj'
in making this motion, but 1 suppose
he did so witli the best of Intentions.
I r|o not believe that hi :>, motion of
this kind there should be any question
of procedure or technicality. If tho
opposition Insist ou bringing the accusers before tlie house, I have r.t
objection, but we all know what thc
delay will be. Questions hnve to be
put and answers taken down."
Mr. Lavergne Interrupted to say that
his proposal was to summon the newspaper owners before the legislature
and afterward to appoint a committee
to proceed with the investigation.
Continuing, Sir Lomer said: "1 ask
the members of both side oi the house
not to refuse tills request, and I •■(!'
maud !n the name of all that'we appoint the committee of Inquiry Mr.
Mousseatt asks for. I ask you to permit tbe motion for a committee to by
presented tonight. I see in the Chvin-
iclo the Mall admits a tray was not,
This Is an important point for you 10
consider."
Concluding, Sir Lomer said:
"I feel that this course is required
for the honor of the province and that
wo should throw all the light poss-Me
on these charges. I ask you again
that this inquiry proceed with the
least possible delay."
WHY   FEET  WEIGH   MORE
WHEN   WE   ARE   ASLEEP
You often hear a person complain
of his head feeling "heavy" after a
long sleep. As a matter of fact, his
head is considerably lighter and Ills
legs and feet just that much heavier
when he gets up than when he went
to bed.
Experiments have shown that if a
man goes to sleep on a bed suspended
exactly at the middle point of his
weight bis head begins to tip slowly
up and his feet go down. This Is due
to the fact that when we sleep the
blood In the brain goes off to the
other parts of the body. The moment
the brain wakes lo life again it draws
the blood back.
Another of the curious facts brought
:o light by the .scientists who aire f-.*nd
of trying to solve the mystery «• sleer
Is thut when one is fast asleep some
part of his brain or several parts of
it may at the same time be awake. A
man may walk, talk, sing or solve
mathematical problems, and yet at the
Bamo timo be safely in the land of
nod. \
It seems hard or Impossible to decide what part of the brain really does
sleep. Our sense of time, for instance,
is stronger when we sleep than when
we are awake, Experiments Oonducteu
some years ago on a number of men
and women between the ages of 20
and 30 showed that GO per cent of
them were able to wake up In the
morning at any time they had decided
upon the night before. As some one
has aptly expressed it, the resolve
seems to wind up something in the
subconscious brain, and when the hour
has arrived this something gives in
some my&terioiiB way the alarm nnd
the eyelids open. Another curious1 fact
about (deep is that the further the part
of the body Is away from the brain the
less soundly It sleeps. A touch on tlie
toe will awaken one much more read
ily than a touch on the shoulder.

ROAD OVER GREY'S  PASS.
To the Editor of The Dally News.
Sir: Now that the elections are
over and the members are away, let ub
set down to business.
The vehicular highway from Vancouver will In natural course reach
Nelson. A ferry is provided for, and
.1 road to Queens Bay is finished. Odd
links along Kootenay lake are built;
these soon in the natural course to be
connected,
A bridge acrosB the Lardo-Duncan
near Ha mill creek Is mooted ns a local
necessity. The canyon of Hamlll
creek was cut through some years
ago as an incident In the development
uf the Argenta mine.
From Banff to Windermere (chiefly
a scenic and tourist road), over the
main range of the Rockies, approaches
completion. This road was financed
by llie governments of Alberta and
British Columbia, plus a large contribution from the Canadian Pacific Railway company. \
From Windermere a good road has
been built up Toby creek for 20 miles,
and an indifferent road for some further dlstauce.
Wliat remains to connect Nelson
with Wlnderemere is the construction
of 21 miles uf road from Argenta
mines mill, Hamlll creek lo the summit of Grey's puss, and a continuation
ol 75 miles down Toby creek. This
:,li miles of road will open up a country carrying a good deal of timber,
aud with an abundance of mineral
prospects. It will also afford uccess
to grass lauds valuable for summer
feed of stock, and offering In spots
-.ho possibility of profitable cultivation, it will call for the expenditure
of $150,000. The route lies partially
iu the Kaslo riding and partially in
the Columbia riding.
un its merits as ii local project it
will not appeal very strongly to those
who are responsible for the distribution of the ordinary appropriations for
the construction uf roads, available in
those two ridings.
I have spoken of this as a link
needed to connect Nelson with Windermere. 1 might gu farther and say
that it Is the link needed to connect
Vancouver with Calgary, and even farther and tell you thut it will in the
near future connect Seattle with Vancouver, by way of San Francisco, New
Orleans, New York and Winnipeg, that
it will be a link iu a belt Hue 0f 10,000
miles extending around the confident
of North America.
It is from this point of view that I
state the cost of the necessary Jit! miles
of road at $150,000. A passable road
fit for local traffic can be constructed
for much less. lluL the belt lire of
which I speak is destined to be the
chief automobile tourist road of the
world, and Us most pronounced attraction will be the summit ofUhe Rocky
mountains and the summit of the Selkirk's at Grey's pass.
in itself this missing link presents
no engineering difficulties and Involves no heavy work. The summit at
7,700 feet altitude Ib reached by travelers over a trail mostly made by the
axe and at trifling cost, and tlie path
at the summit is on grass scd.
The altitude suggests Interesting
comparisons. Th0 Canadian Pacific
railway crosses Rogers pass at an elevation of 4,300 feet, and the Rocky
range at 6,600 feet. The Crows Nest
summit is nearly 5,000 feet. From a
railroading aspect the lower passes
are highly desirable, but from a tourist point of viewthey are not.
The marvel of Grey's pass is that
such a height can be reached by a
road with a minimum cost of construction.
The party which accompanied Mr,
Foster, then deputy minister of public
works, were at the summit this fall
on September 21,
-The party consisted of Mr, Foster,
Mr. Westcott, district engineer; Mr
S. H. Moore, road superintendent, nnd
tils helpers, Charles F. McHardy. D. P.
Kane, J, E. Bingham and myself.
Mr, Foster and Mr. Westcott were
met at the summit by Mr. Bell, C.E..
and a party who had come.up from
Windermere.
All of us greatly enjoyed the trip,
and those to whom the pass was new
regarded It as a revelation.
After an easy day's ride from the
Argenta mine mill we camped in n
dry meadow of 100 acres near the
head, of Hamlll creek. The altitude
was 6,200 feet.* In the morning two
or three hours of easy riding over a
surface trail brought us to the summit.
An equinoctial storm was brooding,
but In the early morning the sun
shone into the valley of Hamlll creek,
Half way up the mountain Bide we
turned to observe the scenery. Close
i't bund was the upper basin of the
if;eek. Ordinarily an amphitheatre
presenting perpendicular walls of
green ice from 1,000 to 2,000 feet in
height, we found that at that late
date In the autumn the Ice was greatly, wasted, and that morrulnes of glistening white rock were visible. Looking back down the valley another hash,
of.three miles circumference presented
itself.
This was more a. bowl .than a basin,
witli the creek and meadow ground for
a bottom, and with curved walls rising arouud to 3,000 or. 4iOpO feet. The
walls were decorated, in every shade
of color, the green of grass, the orange and pale pinks of the frost-
touched leaves, the soft greys and
browns of the iron-stained rocks and
the pure white of the massive drifts
of the last winter's unmelted snows
which formed the topmost rim.
Then while we waited and while
■jur photographers were seeking strategic points from wh'ch to catch what
seemed a scene of unearthly beauty,
the mists rolled up and blotted out the
mn, and the bowl becrnie full of royal
ourple of dark blue and. finally of Inky
blackness. Turning our backs upon
a-Xamlll creek we wer* in a few min-
ites at the final summit. Extendln.-
iwav to the northeas" lay the valley
of Toby creek, and the trail for miles
ould be seen on the side hill through
alternate belts of spruce timber and
grass*grown snowsliden.
At our feet and BOO or 000 feet below us lay the foot of the Toby glacier, coming with a gentle slope from
a higher summit, somt- miles away.
A gentle rain changing Wer into snow,
accompanied with fog. warned us
against venturing upon the glacier.
The next morning six inches of new
snow made exploration off the trull
Impracticable and our parry separated,
Mr. Foster and Mr. Westcott going on
to, Windermere with the Bast Koot*
enn>: party.
Although the time was that of the
annual equinox the light snowfall was
not accompanied hy wind or frost.
Mr. .1. E. Bingham of Knslo was with
us, and he went on hiB way to mineral claims far up the slope beyond
Toby, and he returned upon, bare
ground a week or two later.
Earl Grey and his party on their
first trip went over about the Inst or
October and found no snow.
With probably some little expenditure in clearing away the remains of
snowsltdes the road will be passable
In -lune of each year; without any
such expenditure not later than the
first of July, after which from three
to four months use of the road would
be had.
All such roads will necessarily be
summer roadB only. In California,
which state has some 9,000 automobiles registered, I wus told, that a
popular trip would be one occupying
about 100 days In summer, that the
route should traverse the shade of
trees and follow running brooks, that
!he further north the circle swept and
the greater altitude the road attained,
the more popular It would become.
Earl Grey and Mr. Lowther, who accompanied him, spoke of tlie Hamill-
Toby puss as a feature certain to attract world-wide attention If opened
up to travel.
Such a road as I am advocating will
bring motor cars from Europe, ns Al
pine travel now attracts hundreds or
thousands of cars from America. Our
prairie provinces are filling up
with automobiles, and such .tin outlet
to the suit water, through the grandest
scenery In the world, will attract a
multitude of these.
Employment as guides, packers, etc.,
would be provided for a small army of
local people. The summer homes of
millionaires would be established
amongst us and the millionaires
brought Into touch with our prolific
resources would aid In the general
development.
The Canadian Pacific Railway company has offered to contribute to I he
cost of the road, and under their auspices u chalet will he provided at the
summit of the pass, completing a
chain of suitable bosteli'ies extending
from Banff to Balfour.
As the cost of the missing link obviously can not very well be taken
from the appropriations for local roads
of the Kaslo and Columbia ridings,
it should be provided by special grant.
I am sure that Mr. Foster in 1 his
new role as a member of the legislature will give the project his support.
Those of us who accompanied the ex
ploratory party of last September appreciated highly the interest taken in
the scheme by the,Hon. Mr. Taylor,
by Mr. Foster and by Mr. Westcott.

und wooden bridges, and CO per cent
of the cost of gravel roads and permanent bridges,
T. C. Norris, leader of the opposition,
complimented Dr. Montague on the
scheme outlined, and claimed that it
has been a plank in the Liberal platform as far back as 1907. The Line-
erals will offer a number of amendments at a later stage, although Mr.
Norris stated the opposition agreed
with the fundamental principles of the
bill.

CONSTABLE PLEADS GUILTY
REMANDED FOR SENTENCE
WINNIPEG, Jan. 22.—With the
royal commission investigating the
escape of John Krafehenko in session
and With the police court proceedings
against Percy Hagel and John West-
lake, charged with aiding Ini the escape going on in tho police court, this
was a busy afternoon In connection
with the case which hus gripped the
attention of a large part of the country. At the morning session of police
court R. J. Reld, the constable charged with aiding Krafehenko to escape,
pleaded guilty and was remanded for
sentence.
J. H. Buxton, who has confessed
that he was one of the conspirators,
was the principal witness at the police court In the afternoon. R. Bon-
nar, counsel for Hagel, crosB-question-
ed Buxton mercilessly toward the close
of the session, but the witness was
not flustered and answered the lawyer
as sarcastically as he waB questioned.
The trial of Hagel, who was Krafchenko's counsel, will be resumed tomorrow,
.The royarcommlsslon session wns
merely perfunctory.
LITTLE INTEREST IN
COMMONS DEBATE
'   (Continued from Page One.)
of 115,000,000 to Mackenzie & Mann
and the .millions that were collected in
taxes on foodstuffs.
Congratulates Government.
Dr. Schaffner (Souris) said he would
extend to the government congratulations on the manner In which It had
fulfilled its promises to the prairie
provinces. During the Laurier regime
a delegation of 1,200 farmers had come
to Ottawa to present their requests.
He intended to show that not one request of those western farmers had
ever been granted by the old govern*
ment. Not one of the requests of the
people of the west had heen granted,
The west had asked for the following:
(1) Extension of Manitoba's boundary; (2) reduction of western freight
rates. (3) a government system of
elevators; (4) aid to agriculture; (5)
aid for better roads; (G) the Hudson
Bay railway. These had been the
chief requests of the people of the
west, and not one of them had ever
been granted by the Liberals.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier had always refused, for some reason or other, to extend Manitoba's boundaries and one
of the first things which the present
government had done was to give Manitoba justice. Now, instead of having
73,000 square miles of territory, Manitoba has 250,000.
Dr. Schaffner asked what the h\a-
eral government had ever done to
bring about lower freight rates. They
had done a lot of talking, but nothing
else. Shortly after the present government came into power a petition
wns presented asking for an inquiry
and Judge Maybee was asked to institute an Investigation. It was granted. Dr. Schaffner also said that the
government had done much ia the
way of reducing express rates, and
now they were prepared to give the
country the boon of parcel post.
Passing on to the Hudson's Bay
railway, Dr. Schaffner said that this
road was promised by the Liberals
for 16 years, yet by 1911 all they had
done was to start a few piers in the
Saskatchewan river at Le Pas.
Dealing with the highways bill, Dr
Schaffner said that the L.perals were
condemned for their opposition to that
legislation more than anything else
they have done while in opposition.
The member for Souris thought that
the Importance of Sir Wilfrid'Laurler's
freQ food policy had been greatly exaggerated. It was simply a vote-catching device. He believed that co-operation with the idea of bringing the
producer and the consumer closer together would do much to bring about
an Improvement In conditions. He
blamed the land speculators for being
largely responsible and thought something might be done to lessen this
evil.
Dr, Schaffner declared that 80 per
-cent of the people of Souris were in
favor of the Borden naval policy, and
humiliated because of what had happened.
In the Senate
OTTAWA, Jan. 22.—In resuming the
debate on the address in lhe senate,
Sir George Ross snld he could not
agree with those who held the sky
cloudless or held -that Canada was on
the verge of a serious financial depression. To his mind, Canada was
midway between the two positions and
with care and prudence could shortly
restore prosperous conditions.
Though a government could not do
everything to correct unsatisfactory
conditions, it was the duty of the gov-
nmont lo Investigate and ascertain
what were the causes for business
stringency or the high cost of living
and apply what remedy was In Its
power.
Sir George strongly urged the government to renew its efforts to entourage a great agricultural production In Canada and lo make rural life
more profitable and more attractive
and enjoyable. As the speech indicated, something was being done, and In
his opinion too much could not be
done.
Trade Prosperous
Hon. J. A. Lougheed, the government
leader ln the senate, followed. He
gave figures to show that In the past
Ulne months the trade of Canada had
reached the high water mark and the
trade balance against Canada had been
reduced. Both were sources of satisfaction to 'lhe people of Canada. The
question of the high cost of living was
being much discussed. Free food and
relief through the tariff had been suggested. In the United States the reduction of the tariff had been followed
by ithe upset of business conditions.
To remove the duty from food in Can-
nda would only reduce the customs
taxation of the people by $1.25 each.
The saving of 91,26 a year would not
go far toward the relief of the Individual from the cost of living. The Increase In cost of living wus worldwide and all nations were seeking u
remedy.
The people of Canada," he said, "nre
in no temper for tariff tinkering just
now. The agricultural interests must
be protected as well aa the manufacturing Interests and any attempt to
revise tho tariff down will bring a
result which no government would be
able to resist."

COOPERATIVE PORK
PACKING PLANT
Alberta    Government    Will     Provide
Necessary   Financial  Support—Cold
Storage Plants Proposed
(By Dally News Leased  Wire)
LETHBRIDGE, Alta., Jan. 22.—The
fight of the opposition In the convention* of the United Farmers of Alberta
In the Co-Operative Elevator company,
ah offshoot of the U. F. A., and financed by the Alberta government,
which loomed large on the horizon of
the convention deliberations of yesterday, butted up against the. stone
wall of majority opinion today and
was snowed under. The delegates
adopted the majority report of the
elevator committee and passed a vote
of commendation of all their officers
who had anything to do with bringing
the elevator scheme into fruftition.
One of the next big co-operative
schemes to be undertaken by the United Farmers of Alberta will be a ipork
packing plant. F. W. Stevens, provincial livestock commissioner, ud-
dressed the convention regarding the
possibilities of such a plant, and gave
assurance of government support
along the lines of the financing of the
farmers' elevators. He told the delegates that whenever any single community could be depended upon to
produce 50,000 head of hogs annually,
the government would furnish the
necessary financial support. The plan
is to allow the farmers to ^participate
in the profits of the manufactured
product.
The establishment of a. co-operative
store was favorably considered and a
declaration for free trado with all
countries In farm Implements was endorsed. The executive committee was
Instructed to look into the feasibility
of the establishment of a cold storage
plant at Calgary, Lethbridge and Ed
monton. The convention went on record by an unanimous vote as favoring
the franchise for women.
One of the commissions with which
the executive committee was charged
was the Investigation of the feasibility
of the organization of a farmers' mu
tual assurance company.
The convention decided to request
the Dominion government -to enact
legislation providing for the compensation of the owners of stock killed
through defective cattle guards.

outbreak when they were ordered to
turn  back by  the soldiers.
The riot came after a parade of the
wives and children of the striking coal
miners. A permission to carry out the
plans had been granted by Gen. C sase,
with the understanding that no effort
would be made to march to the hospital.

Imultnneous orders that llieir engagement would terminate aiter the expiration of seven days. Every man,

CRITICISM   OF   POLICY
OF   CANADIAN   PACIFIC
(Canadian Associated Press Cable.)
LONDON, Jan. 22.—The Manchester
Guardian concludes a generous eulogy
of Lord Strathcona with some criticism of tho Canadian railway policy,
which, says the Guardian, assumes
that though the state has given It land
and money and other security to its
loans or lent to It direct, the railway
company's duty and only duty Is to
its shareholders. But for Lord Strathcona's first bargain the valuable land
now owned by the railway companies
would be the property of the state and
the Canadian people, not the shareholders, would be reaping the benefit.
There would be none of the complaints
which have been made, and are being
made, that wnlle tlie people, by their
cash, grants and loans, create the railways, the profit as well as the honor
goes to "titled empire building millionaires."
Criticizing in these terms, says the
Guardian, has been explicit in Canada
In the lifetime of the Borden government. More must be heard of It In
the future, and the issue of it will determine the position of Lord Strathcona In the estimation of his fellow
citizens of the Dominion. It cannot
affect the admiration for his character, his capacity and his Industry,
though it may affect their judgment
of his political sagacity and public
spirit.

(ages of co-operation of the 4wo organizations. The tendency of all
trade unions throughout life world was
to combine in their efforts toward
social and Industrial betterment. Conditions were such that they did not
had to any distinction between one
craft and another. Machinery was removing much Of the human element.
Occupations were becoming more mechanical, more alike.
There was no distinction, no superiority as far as coal and metalliferous
miners were concerned. Both were engaged in the same struggle for existence and both organizations should
combine In united action.
Conditions Change
A' resolution declaring the general
sillkc to bo the most effective weapon for social betterment had been
passed. He referred to the effects of
■general'strikes and declared they must
end in political struggle. To avoid a
crisis workers must be educated to
the highest standard of economic well-
being. The economic conditions which
had led to the trade union'movement
had passed. Capital bad now combined In huge combinations and the trade
union movement had ceased to be able
to enforce its demands und there was
a different aspect to be faced 4o that
of 20 or 30 years ago.
Political Action Solution
Union members asked what was the
value to the men of tbe unions. The
trade union could not answer this
question; it had reached lis limits of
effectiveness and must branch oul ou
other lines to secure economic and Industrial betterment. The answer was
political action, and the best action
to be taken by the trade union movement was to educate its members in
the meaning and value of political action. Parliament was a barren, Useless, force at present, but It must be
captured, as through It could be controlled -the situation for the rising democracy, for the benefit of-.-the social
producers of wealth, ll wus for them
to capture ibis Gibraltar of modern
power and then enter into their' glory.
Although the working class produced all wealth yet never In the Malory of the world had they enjoyed
so little of the products of their social
j labor than at present. The minors of
tha west produced the greatest motive
power of ithe world, they produced the
foundation of modern existence and
yet enjoyed so little. They lived with
Ibe sunshine out of their lives. This
condition could nut continue., Men's
very conditions were causing them to
awukij*.--.'thoy were willing to burrow
to1 produce the wealth, but they were
beginning to demand that they receive
their Just rewards. ^
Human labor [lower as a commodity
was subject to the fluctuations iu
value of all commodities and, in fact,
It was worthless, was more perishable
than fish.
Greater  End  in  View
Hy harmonious and charitable feeling- toward each other, by education
In the fact 'that by cine common action
political and Industrial success could
iho secured was the solution before the
workers. Therefore, the answer to thc
problem was education. The great organization of union workers must be
used toward the betterment of the
whole of the proletariat. The trade
union movement must hot be condemned, it must be used toward tho
greater ond now viewed by mental progressives.
ThA capllullsts endeavored to disintegrate the forces of labor, but there
.wero men in tlie movement who would
I curry the workers forward to success
■ In lis new form.
I vote of thanks to Mr. Phillips'
.able and comprehensive address was
'passed.
Queen Mine Strike
Speaking of the situation at the
Queen -mine, at Salmo, where a strike
Is in effect, W. B. Isaac, secretary of
tbo   Ymir local,   recalled  that  an  In
creased scale had been asked at the
end of 1912 of the various mine managers, who Were all notified. Following a mealing of mlneowncrs ut Nelson, the manager of thc Mother Lode
mine ut Sheep Creek announced he
would pay the scale. That mine employed more men thnn any other In the
whale af the rest of thc district.
Managers of other mines notified the
union or their men that they would
pay the scale with thc exception of
tbe Queen mine, which refused. The
speaker went to.that property, where
the matter was discussed. The Lemieux act was discussed and there
was a difference of opinion as to Us
interpretation. Jt was arranged ihat
Wll.iiim Davidson should visit the
property, after which It was agreed
notice bad to be given before a strike
could legally be declared. After the
decision of the conciliation board u
meeting of the men took place, those
who did not attend agreeing to accept
tho decision arrived at, and the situation was thoroughly explained. Every
man at the meeting voted for the increase and la Strike if it were not
given.
The union had been blamed, bul as
a matter of fact the union did not
vole' oij the question until tbe Queen
men had held their meeting and voted for the increase. Every effort was
mado to secure the increase ' Two
months after the strike some of the
men went to a meeting of the union
on a dull night with the Idea of carrying the meeting, but they were outvoted and the mine was placed un thc
unfair list.
The men tut the Mother Lode, Wilcox, Dundee, Yankee Girl, Emerald and
other mines were paying the new scale.
The men at the Arlington had also
been paid the Bcule.
The Queen strikers named a committee to Investigate whether other
mines were paying the scale. With
tlie -speaker the committee found the
II. M. was paying the scale, alt but,
three men were being paid the scale al
the Emerald and the manager agreed
to make' the Increase in these cases.
Union  Endorsed
Tlie union had bad no other alternative under the circumstances, concluded Mr. MclBuuc.
The convention endorsed the stand
of the Ymir Miners union and declared that every man holding u union
card who was working ut the Qucei
be placed on tho unfair list.
Resolutions of tlic convention will
be presented lo-lhe Hritish Columbia
Federation of Labor at Us next annual
meeting. .
Votes ol thanks to the outgoing officers for tlie excellent, work they had
rendered for the district during the
year and for the manner In which
the convention had been conducted,
lo the Nelson Miners' union, and to
The Nelson Dally News for What were
described as Its fair and Impartial reports of the convention, were passed.

CHAHKO MIKA WILL
BE GALA WEEK
Chairman of Committee Tells of Proposed Events—Activity Along
All  Lines.
Following many enquiries which
havo been received by J I. w. Bust,
chairman of the committee in charge
of the preliminary arrangements for
the big Chahko Mika week of sport,
which it Is proposed to hold in Nelson
during the week commencing July 13
;of this year, both from residents within and outside of the city, Mr, Rust
yesterday gave out a statement of thc
objects of the event from which may
he drawn some Idea of the celebration which It Is proposed to holt! during that week:
"The carnival, as most people are
aware," said Mr. Rust, "has been
called Chahko Mlka after a great deal
of competition for a suitable name
and a good deal of hard work by the
committee In making the selection.
Chahko Mlka are two Chinook words
which mean 'come you' and the Idea
of the committee Is to promote a carnival to which not only the people of
Nelson and the district are going to
be invited to come, but to which It Is
hoped will be attracted visitors from
the coast and the neighboring provinces and from the states to the south
of us.
"The main object of the carnival
committee is to unite In one week of
entertainment all the possible events
that take place at various times during the summer months and at the
same time to call the attention or vis-
(tors to the natural attractions we possess.
"The water course at Nelson improbably unsurpassed In central or western America, and crews from Winnipeg and Toronto have not yet met
those of Portland and the coast cities.
One great feature of the carnival
therefore, will be a regatta in which
It is expected crews from Winnipeg,
Toronto, Coeur d'Alene, Portland and
Vancouver and Victoria will be indue
ed to compete. The committee in
charge of the water sports have also
In view launch races and illuminated
procession of launches by night,
hydro-aeroplane exhibition. canoe
races and swimming competitions. In
this latter probably some of the champions of the world may compete.
"The success of the flower show
lust July caused tho committee to
seek the co-operation of the Nelson
Improvement association, which was
at onco most cordially and freely glv
en, and ns a consequence a flower
show on a larger scale than has evet
been attempted will be undertaken
and probably an exhibition of small
fruits will be held in conjunction with
this.
"In this connection there is also
projected a parade and battle of flow
era, and possibly a great feature of
the carnival will be the selection and
crowning of a flower queen1, A very
valuable suggestion also has been
made that u choral competition among
the musical people of the dlstrlci
should, bo got up and a strong committee ofi Nelson lovers of music has
been formed, who are looking alter
this.
"These events will probably lake
place in the skating rink and will last
two days.
"In regard to land sports, the heads
of the various clubs and organizations
have all cheerfully given their assistance and co-operation and with their
members are working hard to bring
about a series of competitions which
will far excel anything that has been
brought about here before. Lacrosse,
baseball and athielfc competitions are
all being promoted and it is confidently expected that all towns In the
Kootenay and Boundary will send
teams to compete. In regard to lhe
athletic competitions or Caledonian
sports the Y.M.C.A. has promised to
takG charge of a day and probably In
connection with this there will be promoted a flag drill by the school children or some other event in which
they can take a prominent part.
"The rifle association has taken a
very active part and has arranged for
their annual meet to he held here
during the carnival week, find a great
many visitors from outside points may
be expected. Ten different clubs will
be participating and at least 100,men
shooting, and from these will be chosen a team io represent the interior ni
the coast meeting.
The gun club likewise is arranging
its annual shoot for tiie carnival week
nnd under tbo energetic work of its
special committee this promises to be
the largest and most successful ever
held here.
We must* not overlook, however,
one important matter, and that Is the
gathering together of the old tlmerp
of the-district. This feature of the
carnival has been most enthusiastlcal-
y received by those who have done so
much In developing and making known
the resources and possibilities of this
country and I feel sure that the wel-
lome to them which will be given by
the people of Nelson will be most cordial and the revival of old interests
and oltl friendships will do much lo
stimulate the newer residents In promoting the prosperity of the district.
The committee in charge is busy elaborating a program fitting the occasion.
"Those lu charge of the various
committees that are looking after the
events I have mentioned have the assistance in each case of the active
members of the various "organizations.
Of course, there may arise suggestions
for other events; In fact, others are
being considered and the details ol
those mentioned have to be carefully
worked out, but I have said sufficient,
t hope, to show that the week will be
full of attractions. I might mention
that there will be n0 First of July cele
bratlou in the way that, has usually
been carried on. Those who have previously interested themselves In this
are giving all their energies to the
Chahko Mlka.
"Id mentioning tiie various committees that are arranging for the events
to he held we have not overlooked
many other Important matters. Strong
and active committees nave heen,
therefore, formed for the following:
Advertising, publicity and transporta-
Shilohm
"The Family Friend for 40 yesra."    A never
falling relief for Croup and Whooping Cough.
tion; general arrangement!) and program; privileges, side shows and entertainments, and grounds, seathg
and accommodation for visitors.
"These last four committees- have a
great deal of hard work before them,
but I feel sure that those who nave
accepted positions on them arc all
prepared to undertake their share' of
the work and make the.whole affair
a success. I might mention that the
co-operation of the railway comp-uibs
here has been already promised and
the first step to he taken of advenls-
Ing on a good scale Ib already well
advanced so that the work can ha
gone on with almost Immediately, Of
course, the most important mtUisr for
consideration now is the financial one,
but apart from saying tint this has
been very fully discussed ill all its
phases and all concerned enthusiastically believe that this can he arranged and I will deter for another
day any statement regarding this. Tne
time 'has arrived, in my opinion, when
everybody now should be out ind

"A very excellent suggestion was

Chat a public or 'get-together' meeting should be held, and George Horstead was good enough to promise the
use of the opera house free for this
purpose. The committee intends to

and expect to be able to have the

"IRISH FOLK SONG"
RICH IN HISTORY
Professor Wlllan Deals in Interesting
Way With Fascinating Subject—
Legend of Harp.
Tbe heavy debt which the musical
world of today owes to Ireland was
made clear at the University of Toronto by Prof. Healey Wlllan, Toronto
Conservatory of Music, In his lecture
on "Irish Folk Song." There was a
large gathering for the opening lecture
of the season. Folk song, said the
professor, Is really the natural melody
which springs from the hearts of Unpeople and reflects in a most astonishing way their joys, sorrows, aspirations and Ideals. The antiquity of
Irish folk song is remarkable. In the
century following Christ Irish bards
sat at the court of the Irish king,
and In the romantic, phraseology of
tbe race softened bis pillow with
music. It Is also on record that on
th'e arrival of St. Patrick hards met
him and knelt before him and thai
one of them raised his head and said:
"Never again shall my heart sing
tlie praise of any God other than thc
God of St. Patrick."
The earliest allusion to music centred round the harp, and concerning
the latter there Is a strange legend.
A wife who loathed hoi' husband left
him and wandered through forests to
the seashore, where she came across
the skeleton of a whale. The wind
rushing through the sinews of the
mammal made a sound that lulled her
to sleep. rPhe husband followed her.
realized the cause of her slumber,
went into the forest, broke off a
branch of a tree, and with this and
sinews of the whale made a harp. Another legend dates back to 1800 It. C.
Two Irish tribes met in conflict, the
losing side capturing the victor's harp,
and this the king, his chief hard and
a follower set out to recover. At the
habitation of the defeated side thc
harp, which was then supposed to possess supernatural powers, sprang
down from the wall towards the chief
bard, killing nine men in its flight.
The bard then played a Willi, and the
women commenced wailing, a song
of laughter and the youths and maidens laughed, a song of slumber, and
the whole host slept, whereupon tlie
king and his follower escaped with
the harp. A supernatural belief associated with the Irish race and music
Is that tho latter Is the child of a fairy
woman aud upon the incarnate is Its
side.
The first Irish scale, which consisted of five notes to the octave, can bo
produced by playing the black notes
on a piano, C major with the fourth
and seventh omitted. After a time a
desire for more scope led lo the addition of two more notes to the scale,
but how is not definitely known.
How Notes Wero Added
One romantic? explanation has ii
that the notes were put In owing to
tho sighing of tlie wind. Another that
a- singer happened to sing a wrong
note, which someone with a keen ear
thought sounded rather nice, and
added It lo-lhe scale. Professor Wilkin's belief is that tlie additional antes
are simply due to tho slur. One good
example where tbe fourth is omitted
but the seventh included Is "Tlie Lust
Ruse of Summer," and 'there are oilier
examples where the reverse Is the
case. With the advent of Christianity
much use was made of play-song and
of the two modes which then appealed to the Celtic people was the original minor scale and the scale of G
major as produced nn the while notes
of a, piano. Harmony at lhe period
was uf a very slender nature, 'but
there Is a distinct record nf pipes
playing an underlying melody to the
voice,"" quite different to the Scotch
pipes. They were used in a melodic
sense, and also to form a counter
melody lo tlie voice.
The Irish people of the time did
more than write love songs and lullabies; the yhad their snugs of war
and of dance,' and of grief and revenge. If people could not, said Professor Wlllan, regard Irish tolk-HOhgs
with the love of the Irish race they
were at least entitled lo their respect
if nothing else, because In them was
tho beginning uf the art of music, an
art which has done an amazing thing
for humanity, an art which Is now a
universal language.

SKIN ERUPTIONS
Evidence of Impure Blood and a Run-
Down Condition.
When the blood becomes thin, poor,
devitalized nature cries out through
such external evidence for help, and
the safest, surest and most helpful
remedy we know is Vlnol.
Thia ia because It is a combination
of tbe two most world famed tonics—
the medicinal curative elements of
cod liver oil (without the oil) and
tonic iron for th0 blood. Vinol
strengthens lhe digestive organs, creates a hearty appetite, purifies and enriches tho blood, creates strength.
Mrs. Helen Wingate, St. Louis, Mo.,
says: "I was tn very poor health,
nervous and run-down, and nothing
In the way of medicine did me any
good until my druggist recommended
Vlnol. It built un my health, restored strength and I feel that I owe
my life to Vlnol. I cannot praise it
too highly."
We say positively there is nothing
like Vlnol to purify and enrich the
blood and build up weak, run-down
people. If it should fail in your case
we will return your money, Win.

BAPTIST CHURCH  CONCERT
DELIGHT TO AUDIENCE
The concert ut the Baptist church
last evening proved a rare treat. The
choruses by the Joint choirs of the
Baptist and thc Presbyterian churches
wore well rendered and much appreciated. All the Individual parts of thc
program were so thoroughly appreciated that the audience recalled each
of the performers. Miss Cruttwell and
her young pupil In violin, Miss C. Notman, wero especially pleasing. The
Nelson Mandolin club was recalled In
evory selection. A good audience was
present, but It was not us large as the
merits of the program warranted. The
Baptist choir wishes to thank all those
who assisted In making the evening's
entertainment a success, F. W. Smith
and tho Presbyterian choir, tho Misses
Cruttwell and Miss Notman, tho Nelson Mandolin club. It wishes also to
acknowledge the service of a piano,
tendered by the Mason & Risen company. General regret was expressed
over the fact that J. R. Russell, who
'had been the leading spirit in preparing the recital, was unable to be
present to direct and to take his parts
In the program. Owing to an attack
of pleurisy, Mr. Russell is confined to
his bed. It is hoped that the splendid work resulting from the joint service of these choirs thus brought together, may be repeated to the profit
of Nelson audiences in the near future.
-Refreshments were served to those
participating In the program, under
tbe direction of Mrs. N. Wolverton and
Mrs. W. O. Roso at thc close of the
entertainment.

Government   and    Press   Criticized—
Standing Committees for Session  Are  Appointed,
(Special to The Daily News.)
VICTORIA. R C, Jan. 22.—Parker
Williams, the Socialist member for
Newcastle, occupied the floor of the
house for two hours at today's sitting
In the legislature with his contribution to the debute on the utldress. For
the most part his speech consisted
of a direct attack on the personal
character of those who are at present
administering the government; the
press came tn for a portion of his
recriminations and he devoted some
time to a direct attack on the land
policy of the government. In speaking
of tbe disturbances that took place
during the past summer on Vancouver
island he said that fchey were of no
magnitude whatever and inferred that
the punishments meted out. to the offenders wero far In excess of the
crimes committed. He made a passing reference to Judge Howey of New
Westminster, whom ho described as
the weakest, cheapest kind of man
