C, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 29. 1916 SOc. PER MONTH NAMING Of NEW CABINET IS HELD UP BY SOLDIERS' VOTE Liberal Leader Kept Busy Seeing Delegations BREWSTER 10 TAKE FINANCE PORTFOLIO Kootenay-Boundary Men Suggested For Places in Council (By Dally News Leased Wire.) ■ VANCOUVER, B. C, Sept. 28.— Speculation is still rife as to the per- sonel of the forthcoming Brewster cabinet. The Liberal leader is busily engaged each day in meeting delegations, deputations and successful candidates and making his plans for taking office on the retirement of the present government. The provincial Liberal headquarters in the Jones building, Victoria, has already taken on the appearance of tho lobbies during a session. "W. W. Bacr, formerly provincial organizer for the Liberal party and one- "time editor of the Times, is in charge of the clerical staff, and is acting as secretary for Mr. Brewster. John Hart, as campaign manager, has his office in the same building. The task of tho cabinet makers is rendered more than ordinarily difficult by the element of uncertainty injected into the situation by the delay of the soldiers' vote. There arc ono or two men whose names naturally ariso In connoctlon with the Liberal government, whose election is still in doubt. There seems to be a general desir that Mr. Brewster will himself assu: the portfolio of finance, owing to ti.^. general confidence felt In him by The party at large, • itjup the apprehension which any appointment of a less satis- ^aetory-. raemb^r-would cft>ati<, Mr. Oliver's name is that most usually associated with thc portfolio of agriculture, his majority now being sufficiently large to justify thc hopes of his friends that It will not he overturned by the soldier vote. Sloan for Mines. Mr. Sloan's friends are making a vigorous campaign for the department of mines for thnt member, should he be successful, Ralph Smith, the other member whose name Is most frequently heard in that connection, might take either the lands or works, the_ other department going to T. D. Pattullo of Prince Rupert, who is at tho capital and is believed to be actively advancing his claim to recognition for his part of the country. M. A. Macdonald will, of course, be attorney-general Dr. King, possibly, provincial, secretary. The presidency of the council may go to Mr. Pauline, who vanquished D. M. Eberts in Saanich, while ,T. W. Weart of Vancouver may take the speaker's throne. Dr. Sutherland of Revelstoke. is another member for whom recognition is toeing urged, while Mr. McLean of Greenwood has already heen to Victoria urging similar recognition. . Reports to date give a total of eight opposition members. These are Messrs. Schofield (Trail), Shatford (Similkameen), Jones (South Okanagan), Hunter (Slocan), Rose (Nelson), McDonald (Llllooet), Ross (Prince George) and Haywood (Cowichan). Of these eight the seat of Hon. W. R. Ross seems to be the most precarious. He has quite a small majority of about. 27 and is almost a stranger to his present riding. His opponent lias the advantage of being personally acquainted with most of the soldiers who went to the front, and will, therefore, have a distinct advantage In the vote taken among them. This may give the seat to the new government. Doubt in Some Ridings. Tho majority of Mr. Hunter Is also low, hut his seat would not be exposed to the same danger. In addition there are seven or eight ridings thnt tho Conservatives have a fair hope of winning, These are Alberni and the Islands, where the Conservative can- fContinued on Page Two.)

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—The widely advertised walkout of trades unionists in Greater New York in sympathy with the striking car men, which was supposed to have started yesterday, had not materialized tonight, according to thc police.

(By Dally News I,eased Wire.) OTTAWA, .Sept. 28.—The parliamentary reconstruction commission has been In session here for the post two days considering the details of the contract with the Lyall Construction company and certain matters connected with the plans. No successor to Hon. Rodolphe. Bemle.ux, who resigned on Sept. 1, has been named by the Liberal leaders. As n result of the two days^ deliberation It is stated that the formal document of contract will lie drawn up and executed in a few days. A few more changes have been made In the contract conditions 'and*in the Interior plans. The committee deckled that instead of allowing the contractor an annual rental of 20 per cent on his plant as originally Intended thc plant will be taken over at present valuation by the government and then returned to the contractor at thc completion of thc work at its valuation then. The company will supply the stone cutting plant and the government will pay for keeping it in ■ repair. It was further decided to utilize part of the basement as a library stack room instead of building a separate stackroom at the foot of tho cliff, as previously agreed lipon. /.Thin will mean a considerable saving. The committee went carefully over the work now being done and professed satisfaction with the organization and methods of architects and contractors. The cost of the new building will be, according to detailed statements submitted, $r.,ir,0,000, but to this must be added architects' und contractors' percentages which are placed at $(.00,- 000. The building Is in be completed In three years. ALDERSON TO JOIN IMPERIAL FORCES (Canadian Associated Press.) LONDON, Sept. 2S.—Gen.

Whiteside, M.P.P., is hovering between life Tind death as the result of gangrene infecting tho wound in his left arm, where he was shot by Pto. T. Helmbolt Sunday night. Mr. Whiteside suffered a relapse yesterday and was in such a low condition last night that his physicians were aifraid to perform an amputation. • Tho gun wns fired at close range, tearing the muscles of tho arm and ' probably poisonlngthe blood. Dr. M. E. McKay, nf Edmonton and X>r. McPherson of Castor were, called into consultation by Dr. J. s. Brook- man, who had chargo of the case.

I Fight at Thiepval Above and Below Ground NEVER 0 Germans Dug'Out of Ruins by Victorious Forces of British (By Daily News Leased Wire.) BRITISH FRONT, In Franco, Sept. 28.—The takltiK of Thiepval and the Zollorn redoubt which lies between it ami Coiireollette, was a wonderful business. Thiepval was held by tho isoth German regiment, which had been there for a long time. According to prisoners (be defenders had fortified the commanding ridge with a scries of rnmlfied tunnels nnd diiKouts. They had dug into the chalky earth with beaver-like industry, until they were safe under a shell fire which would have turned a fort like Maubc- auge or Liege or any other of the prewar type into the jumbled grave of its garrison. Tho men of the ISOth regiment asked permission to remain in Thiepval, giving their word that it would never be taken from them and the German army commander consented. Not only at this village but along the ridge upon which hangs the whole Anglo-French movement wns the same mazo of warrens where the Germans lived with all Ihe comforts of home. The ISOth hud cudgled Its brains to make Thiepval thc last word In this kind of defen.se. It was this sort of preparation which stopped lhe British attack July 1. Then as the British infantry charged after the artillery bombardment the Germans popped out of their hiding places with many machine guns and swept the lines of the British with their deadly fire. Make Gradual Gains. Bit by bit since July 1 the British have worked their way forward. Yesterday when they went after Thiepval and the Zollern redoubt, British soldiers, as one of the captured Germans said, were at the door of the dugouts almost as soon as the last shell had fallen. A hurricane of shell fire kept the Germans in their burrows and when It had lifted the British had arrived Though the Germans In many dugouts where their galleries of escape were closed, surrendered In bodies, in other instances they kept the faith that the 180th would die before surrendering Thiepval. All day yesterday the British were prying forth entrances to dugouts in the blackened ruins of the town amid the stench of all kinds of explosives as well as gas und lacrimal shells. There was sporadic hand to hand fighting and nt intervals Germans appeared from the bowels of the earth with their hands up and sur rendered to tho British soldiers, who were smoking cigars found in the German dugouts. An example of what persistent dig' ging will do hi the extension of cellars of buildings is given by Motinet farm, which the British took Sept. 15. They blew in the mouth to all the entrances of dugouts that they could find and had advanced their line well beyond the farm when a British officer saw two Germans standing on a sort of slag heap close to his side. They beckoned to him and he thought that they were prisoners left behind by their escort, but as he wont toward them one shot him dead. Both then disappeared in the ground. Later other Germans came to tho surface and be San firing into the backs of a party of Iiritish pioneers, who dropped their shovels and took after the Germans. When thc pioneers1 returned after a fierce underground fight they brought with them as prisoners an officer and 50 men. It is supposed that the Germans here had found thc forgotten tunnels of a medieval monastery and added auxiliary ones to suit their own purposes. Germans Losing Heart. All observers agree that of late'the Germans, when left in isolated strong points with orders to hold fast to the death, are less inclined than formerly tu obey their instructions to thc letter. An officer of the Prussian guards reserve division, who was captured yesterday was in a state of disgust and expressed himself freely, We got no support from our artillery," he said, "The Iiritish had twice our number of guiis and three times vs many aeroplanes while our aviators seemed to have lost their nerve. My battalion was always put in the worst possible position; some of my men, who were given Rcxa automatic rifles, threw them down without waiting: to fire when the British charged. Machine gunners and ditch parties are left to stick In the face of British guns and British charges with tho assurance that If they stick it a counterattack will rescue them. But the counter-attacks fall to materialize as they did at first. 1 gave in. I had enough." However, officers of the British staff spoke of this mun in a dispassionate way us a man with a grievance and paid a high tribute to the stubborn bravory of tho Germans In thc Zollern redoubt Where he was tuken. The British spent today in taking ground in a number of smaller attacks ln order to rectify their new lino. mm OPEN NEW OFFENSIVE Struggle in Volhynia and Gulicia Renewed ENEMY STUBBORNLY RESISTING ADVANCE Austro-German Line Cut by Forces Under Bmsiloff (By Dally News Leased Wire.)

ATHENS, Sept. 28.—The Associated Press is in a position to state positively that King Constantino decided this morning in favor of an immediate declaration of war on Bulgaria. Reports that a general mobilization has been ordered are premature. Proclamation Issued LONDON. Sept. 20.—Tn a despatch from Athens Renter's correspondent says a telegram has been received there from Cana giving thc summary of tho proclamation of a provisional government by Former Premier Venizelos and Admiral Coundoinleotis. The main points of the documents, ;iys the correspondent, constitute a comparison of the Greece of today with tho Greece of 1012-13. "The application of the personal policy of the sovereign, a victim of bad cmmsels," tbe proclamation says, "has resulted in a ntpproachment with Greece's hereditary enemies, the violation of thc constitution, internal anarchy and isolation and contempt for Greece, which the allies consider hostile because it refused thc Servians the facilities accorded the llulgarlans." 'The victorious army of 1912-13 abandons tbe territory conquered by the nation's blood; the population is fleeing before tbe Invaders; war material has been given the Bulgarians; Greek soldiers have heen sent to Germany by way of Sofia, and patriots are regarded as traitors. To Save Country. "Today is not the moment to establish the responsibility. Our duty Is to save what there Is time still to save. To attain that it Is essential to reestablish national unity by an immediate return to tho policy Indicated by the conscience, namely, range ourselves on the side of the allies and Servians to expel thc Invaders, "It would be a happy event If, at the eleventh hour the king should decide to lake the lead of the national forces. In a, contrary event it is our duty to (lo the needful thing to save the country from threatening danger. We aro entering tho struggle convinced that the nation, independently of the state, will accomplish the miracle and bring the country back to the status of 18 months ago.—Venlzelos, Coumlorills."

Dr. von IVthmann-IIoIIwog, delivered his eagerly awaited speech. Ho began by outlining the events which led up Io the Italian and Rumanian declaration!, of war. He recalled that the German ambassador had left Rome after Italy's deelaration of war against Austria-I I ungnry and that Germany had announced that the Italians would find Genua ;i (roups fighting with their AiiHiro-Hmmarian comrades on the Italian fronl. He continued: "Thus a stale nf war practically existed, but a formal declaration of war did not come until some time later. Italy apparently was afraid of the usual consequences which it would suffer after the war In regard to Its economic relations with us. "Gil the other hand, Rome preferred to lay. the blame for the declaration at QUI* door. But for us. there was uo reason to play Italy's game. Our tactics were justified by the uninterrupted efforts uf tlie entente powers to cause Italy to declare war. L "For moro than a year the Italian government resisted. Finally the measures which England employs with equal rilthlessnoss against neutrals and its allies were too strong. Italy's warfare depends upon English coal and English money. Finally it had to give in. "The.decision certainly was brought about by British coercion, although Italian hopes in regard to the Balkans also exercised influence. Italy, as Is known, desired those territories that aro within the national sphere of Greek interest. "In order not to bo abandoned Italy found it necessary to partake In the expedition of Gen. Sarrail (the allied commander at Saloniki) and this caused an encounter between Italian and German troops i^ Macedonia," PAGE TWO THE bAILY NEWS FRIDAY, SEPT. 29, 1916, LEADING HOTELS OF THE WEST] Where the Traveling Public May Find Superior Accommodations. | B&Kv,' - • \ - "A "''3 ~'v|S THE HUME A la Carte Table d'Hote GEORGE HI 2NWELL, Prop.

PUSHING OFFENSIVE WITH TIRELESS FURY (Continued from Page One.) ben redoubt a fairly large allowance of shell fire, though making no Infantry attock. For nearly three months this softening process continued. Then when tbe Britisli bad sained the ridges running at an angle with tbe old German line of Thiepval, they began to take fresh Interest In that old first line. Now they did not have to attack it In front, but approached il from the side, as well as having IT in a crushing vice. tine German officers who was captured, said he did not think the British good enough soldiers to attack in this way; which was just the way the British did attack after their lesson ol' .Inly I. "And we hope the Germans will continue to think us stupid," said a staff officer. When the rain of steel ceased the British soldiers, timing their arrival In Its cessation, were over the parapets and at the doors of the dugouts. Then on to the next trench in the same fashion, the waves of shell fire sweeping up the hillside as shields for the advancing wave of British soldiers. Tomorrow these waves may break into sudden Intensity ot some other point along the battle line and another village or system of trenches may he taken. MANUEL OF PORTUGAL VISITS HOSPITAL (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

Mackenzie and Manson have the same expectations, and Fernie, in which the Conservative Is Thomas l*l>- hill. There remains also a remote possibility of two seats In Vancouver being sfivr' for tbe government, while Manson of Comox has also not yet abandoned hope. From the foregoing it will lie seen (hat there is a possibility of an opposition of perhaps a dozen in the next bouse. The Conservative party, from hich they may be a, dozen members, will be badly handicapped for experienced leadership, particularly should Mr. Bowser not be fleeted and lion. Mr. Ross lose the seat which now seems to hold for Prince George. Of tbe remaining members, Messrs. Schofield. Shatford and Haywood are the most likely names that occur I" connection with the leadership of the party tn the event of Mr. Bowser himself not retaining his seat for Vancouver, or of taking another riding. Mr. Shatford is the senior of the group, having been longer continuously in the house than the others, although Mr, Hayward of Cowichan Is quite nn old member, but dropped oat for the life nf one parliament. Bowser's Plans Not Given. During lhe election Mr. Bowser told a Vancouver audience that Vancouver hnd first sent him to parliament and that should he not lip relumed nn this occasion lie would not seek a seat elsewhere. His friends say he is quite fixed in this determination and that, should the result of the soldier vote not alter the situation in Vancouver he will drop out of political life and will resume his practise in this city. Meantime the beads of the different departments arc closing up their correspondence and are preparing to -vacate offices early next month. It has already been announced that no new . ppointments will be made and no new matters nf policy undertaken by the present administration and that as clean a slate as possible will bo left for the Incoming government. Most of tbe ministers are in Victoria, including, in addition to the premier, Messrs. Campbell. McGuire, Manson and Ross. Reports compiled by Liberal headquarters in Victoria from their agents throughout Canada and from eablp advices from their scrutineers in England, Indicate that tho soldipr vote, so far as the candidates are concerned, will fall far short of some estimates which have appeared in lhe press. It was believed that IS,000 nr 20,000 soldiers would vote on the two referendums. upon which there remains several months to cast ballots. Vote, of Spldiers. So far as the votes for candidates are concerned tbe number of soldiers who have availed themselves of exercising their franchise seems to be less than 12,000. of this number about 7300 voted in England nnd a little over 4000 in Canada. Of the English v about 1900 wpre.from Vancouver, 400 from South Vancouver. 1200 from Victoria and 250 each from Prince Rupert, Comox, New Westminster, Nelson and Nanaimo. The soldier vote as far as Vnncouver is concerned amounts tn about 3800, which leaves a sufficient margin change materially the relative standing of one or two of the lowest of the Liberal ticket and the highest of the Conservative ticket. There is, for instance, a difference between Mr. Howser and Mr. Donnelly of only 2ir> voles. out of a total of 3SO0 il will be seen that there is an opportunity for a reversal of their relative positions. Between Mr. Tisdall and Mr. Cowper there is a difference of nearly 1000 .votes, so there is a remote chance of the soldier vote being so preponderate Ingly in favor of Mr. Tisdall as to put him in the elected class. The most Conservatives can hope for evidently in Vancouver would be one seat. LEMIEUX ACT IS HIT Al Measure Is Strongly Opposed at Final Session of Meeting in Toronto TORONTO, Sept. 28.—By an overwhelming .majority the Trades and Labor congress, just before adjournment tonight, went on record as being opposed to the Lemieux Industrial Disputes act In its entirety, This action followed several long sessions devoted to discussion of tbe administration of the Lemieux act and also to a draft act which the council had bad drawn up by J. O'Donoghue at the request of last year's (Vancouver) convention. Tin- first motion before the convention was that the convention go on record as favoring Ibe amendment of lhe Lemieux act according to Mr. O'Donogbue's draft. This was amended by Delegate Reese of Pernio, seconded by D. Irvine, both members of the United Mine Workers of America, that lhe congress ask repeal of the act. The amended motion was adopted almost unanimously. The consensus of opinion during the afternoon debate was that, while the act might liave on some occasions proved beneficial, it had outlived its usefulness, and was a detriment to the cause of ttye woge earners. Its administration 'by tbe minister of labor hod not been satisfactory. Many of the delegates claimed that the act bad been framed for the benefit of the employer and not the employed. Rail- waymen and miners bad chiefly been adversely affected and the leaders of other organizations bad come to tbe conclusion that it was time for the congress to consider what stops should lie taken if the government refused to repeal the act. Delegate Russell ol" Winnipeg, submitted an amendment that the government be notified that organized labor would not recognize the net but fafled to get a seconder. Delegate Magniis Sinclair of the executive of tho International Street Railways union, referred to the consideration at Washington of a similar act nnd urged that the congress tell thc workingmen of (be United States that the Canadian wage earners wero opposed to it. Delegate Francb of Montreal raised a storm of protest by favoring the principle of the bill. YEARLY ALLOWANCES Payments to Dependents of Soldiers Have Increased to Over Two Million a Month. OTTAWA.

Nicholls Leads Faction Endeavoring to Oust G. Weaver Loper—Looks Like Stalemate. Between, the two factions seeking control of the Lucky Jim Mining company there is a sharp fight, with victory In sight for neither up to thc present time. G. Weaver Loper has been tbe heavy stockholder in this corporation. Recently certain brogers of Spokane have been acquiring largo blocks of the stock, ond, led by Walter J. Nicholls, desire to obtain control. It Is said If they do they will elect a new hoard of directors from which Mr Loper Is to be omitted. Neither side in the fight has yet se. cured enough slock, apparently, to give an absolute majority, tt is claimed by those opposed to Mr. Loper that the opposition has enough stock to outvote him tf a meeting can be secured, but that it does not, liave an actual majority, owing to considerable stock being scattered and not ln either camp. Those wboxippose Mr. Loper's control clnlm that better results will lie obtained by a change of the directorate and that ot present no one can tell what the Indebtedness of tlie company actually Is. Mr. Loper's supporters say the direclors nnd leading stockholders of thc corporation know the exact financial condition of the company and that a further statement by those in authority will soon be made.

LONDON.—In the prize court re. cently Sir Samuel Evans delivered a considered judgment deciding a rather novel point in a suit by the crown for condemnation of 4000 bags of cocoa seized on board the British steamship Palm Branch' in September, 191-1. The Asociacion de AgricuUorcs del Eeua dor claimed the goods. The president said the case govc rise to n novel point by reason of o ch&ngQ of ownership of the goods seized between the dotes of seizure and cluim. Thc goods were shipped before thc war and were consigned by the claimants to their own order and under an option, they were to lie delivered at Hamburg to a German firm, Schlu- bach, Thiemer & Co.. as agents for sole of tiie shippers. After seizure the goods were sohl under an order of the court. The eiaiin really was for thc re- loose of the proceeds of the sole. The goods were insured against war risks by the German underwriters of Hamburg. After the seizure Schluboch & Co., thc shippers' agents in Germany, made a claim against thc Hamburg underwriters for a total loss which was paid in full, the money being received by Schluboch & Co., who dealt .with it in account. It was admitted that thereupon the Gorman un- dewrlters became tho owners of the goods. The claim in these proceedings was not made until nearly a year loter. The position wos not in dispute, it was that at thc lime of the seizure tlie property in the. goods was in the neutral shippers, und at that time of the claim in thc German underwriters. The claim was undoubtedly made on behalf of the German underwriters and if the proceeds were released to thc claimants it was admitted that they would receive them as trustees for thc Germans and would have to pay them over accordingly. Upon these facts his judgment was that the claim wos disallowed with costs and that thc proceeds of the goods now in court must, as enemy properly, be condemned to thc crown as good and lawful prlve.

DUNDEE SAVINGS PROPOSALS. DUNDEE. Scotland—Sir Charles Bine-Roiishaw, chairman of the Scottish war savings committee, addressing a public meeting . in the town hall, Dundee, said that ;a-war debt of £2,- 640,000,000 meant that they would have to collect in. respect uf interest and sinking fund for that debt, on enormous sum annually for mony years to come. Nol only that generation, but tho next generation and the generation after that would havo thrown upon their shoulders this heavy responsibility in respect of debt which was ever being added to. They as a nation had to resolve to reduce the amount of goods they were bringing Into tho country from abroad, ond to concentrate their whole efforts upon living more economically, thus preventing the country os o whole from having to pay such on enormous tribute to other countries to keep it going. People used to lough at the thrifty person, but today the highest patriotism was that of the man who was most careful and the most economical. They could save something upon food, some of them could save something on drink, and the ladies could save something on dress. Many of them could save something on railway travelling. They might use tlie corporation train- ways a Httlc less. They could also save something on amusements. AS WITH LONDON, England—The board, oC agriculture and fisheries draw, atten*, tion to the importance of making bl strong endeavor to secure the whole of the plum crop, which promises tft,. be iurge in most parts of England/ Many private persons will, no dpubV. arrange to bottle considerable quanti-: ties of plums, as was done In 1914 and 1915, but it is certain that the greater part of the crop can only neutiUzeji; by the extensive manufacture of jaiu. Owing to various circumstances cony, riected with the war the supplies o£ sugar available for use by the publio at large are only three quarters- o| what they were in 1915, and privatp persons canot at thc best, obtain raorft than three-quarters of the amount they obtained last year for all purposes. In order to meet this deficiency th^ board urge all those who have beep in the habit of making home-mad^ jam, whether from their cwn fruit op fruit bought in the market, to save as much ordinary sugar aa they cai[t from their household supplies, and to make up the remainder with the sugar known as glucose, or corn syrup, wlilch is at the present time obtaini able in considerable quantities in Enffj land. Corn syrup can satisfactorily be used in tlie manufacture of homo made jam if tlie following precaution! are observed: 1. Not more than one part of conp syrup should be added to two of suffj- ar, and tlie weight of sugar and syrup should approximately equal tho weight of the fruit used. 2. The jam should be boiled until it gets tlie right consistency. Jam which contains more than 35 per cent of water will not keep. 3. Tho jam should be covered with waxed paper, tied down tightly with another sheet of paper. Corn syrup contains about 20 per cent of water, and Is not as sweet as sugar. This is not a disadvantage to those who like to retain the full flavor of tlie fruit in their jam, but those who prefer a very sweet jam should use a smaller proportion of the syrup. It also makes jam "set" better than sugar and prevents crystalization, a common fault in home made jam, Tbe wholesale price of glucose is at present less than two-thirds of the wholesale price of sugar, and corn syrup can lie obtained in 6 cwt. barrels, which should permit it to be sold retail at not more than 4J^d. a pouivd. It can be obtained from some manufacturers in 14-lb. tins at about that rato and from others in 1-cwt. kegs.

Berlin can probably guesst, however, that a censorship still exists, that it has simply passed entirely into the hands of the entente allies. "A mixture of iron fibres, sand and cement is being used in France as a top dressing for highways," says a scientific magazine. The French should keep such roads well guarded. The Germans might wont to make sausages out of the topdressing material. It would be hardly less nutritious than the macerated rubber, gelatine and hair used recently by a Hamburg sausage maker. FRIDAY, SEPT. 29, 1916. CREAMERY IDEA IS AN EXCELLENT ONE. Establishment of a cooperative creamery In Nelson by the Farmers' institutes is a project which should meet with wholehearted support from nil who are interested in thc agricultural development of the district. Figures produced at the conference yesterday of Kootenay ond Boundary Farmers' Institutes show that dairying has increased to an amazing extent during the past three or four years and that cream supply should be ample for the successful operation of a creamery here. Oftcc a creamery is in operation dairying would be certain to grow apace. And an increase in dairying means an increase In the production of beef cattle, as a proportion of the animals raised on dairy farms always prove more suitable for the butcher's block than the milk barn. The project should be proceeded with as rapidly as is consistent with establishment on a sound basis. The farmers show wisdom in their desire to avoid borrowing and vthe burden of Interest payments. WOULD WELCOME ECONOMIC WAR WITH GERMANY. Thus a state of war practically existed, but a formal declaration of war did not come until some time later. Italy apparently was afraid of tlie usual consequences which it would suffer after the war In regard to its economic relations with us. Spoken as a bluff or in sincerity the above statement by von Beth- mahn-Hollwcg is a challenge to Great Britain and Its allies which they will not be slow to toko up. Threats from Germany of on economic wnr against ther entente, or any part of it, after peace has been signed will receive nothing but welcome In the entente countries. The British, French, Russiun and Itullans have no desire to trade with Germany. On the contrary they would cugerly respond to any well-conceived plan for a sustained economic war against the Teutons, Bulgaria and Turkey. The entente peoples do not propose willingly to allow Germany to use their rcsoxtrces as the foundation upon which it would rebuild its shattered commercial power. 1 WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING.

It revelation not of confidence but of discouragement.—Philadelphia Ledger. No Time for Extravagance. Every extravagance means ■ much money diverted from tbe prosecution of the war. Every extravagance means a corresponding failure to prepare ourselves for the economic battle that will follow the termination of the war.

A "Slight" Discrepancy. There appears to be some diserep ancy as to dates in connection witli the circumstances that recently gave value at on auction of rare books, to a copy of Goldsmith's "Deserted Village,*' purchased by a resident of Philadelphia. The volume was said to have been presented to General Wolfe, the hero of Quebec, by Miss Lowther. previous to his departure for Canada.

A year ago the Turkish authorities were boasting that the people of the city bad more food than before the war, but such statements are no longer made. The teeming masses of Stamboul's squalid streets are now growing sullen under the goad of hunger, and even the multitudinous dogs of the streets and alleys seem leaner and hungrier than ever, if such a thing be possible. In the early days of the war the German officers and soldiers wore applauded by the populace, but the Teutons are now viewed in sullen silence. The people of Stamboul attribute their shortage of food to the fact that such vast quantities of edibles have been sent to Germany. Even in the dark days of the Gallipoli expedition, when tbe sound of enemy guns reached the ears of the people, and many feared the city was doomed to be captured, the people were far gayer and more care free than they are now. Pera and Galata, the fashionable sections inhabited largely by foreigners, still maintain the appearance of frivolity, and the gay restaurants and cafes are fairly well patronized by the German and Austrian officers and the still large foreign contingent which bos remained in Constantinople. Atrocious as ore the Turks in many ways, and fierce as is their hatred for Christian "infidel dogs," it is yet a fact that foreign residents of Constantinople who hail from enemy countries hove fared much better than the enemy civilians In more civilized countries. One of the Turkish virtues is a belief in the sacred duty of hospitality to the stranger, ond they have lived up to it during tbe war. Tbe soldiers of the allies in the Near East have learned that II is vastly more desirable to foil Into the hands of the "unspeakable Turks" than lo be taken prisoner by the Christian Bulgars. SOME LITTLE BEGINNINGS OF TREMENDOUS FORTUNES ►1 LINCOLN'S RELIGION. J *-4>+-*~*-*-4>+-*>4\ .Max. 56 68 68 54 58 G-l MINISTER OF MINES SHOULD BE FROM INTERIOR. It Is to be hoped that reports from Vancouver regarding the portfolio of mines in the new Liberal cabinet do not mean that Mr. Brewster lias decided to select a coast member for that portfolio. Kootenay and Boundary produce more mineral wealth than all the rest of tbe province combined and the Liberal leader will show good judgment if he fills the portfolio of mines from one of his supporters in this district who have spent many years here and are In close touch with conditions in the industry. From among John Keen of Kaslo, J. E. W. Thompson of Grand Forks and Dr. J. D. McLean of Greenwood there should be no difficulty in finding a minister of mines. The Daily News believes that Kootenay and Boundary and the mining industry of the province generally would stand to benefit'more from tbe appointment of a member from this district'than from the coast. A Kootenay and Boundary representative would be more likely to press for a continuance of a vigorous policy of the development of the industry. Winnipeg Is naturally gratified to discdvei*"that its new $7,000,000 aqueduct will carry waterf A "committee of national defense" has been formed ir} Greece. The name has a historical flavor that tastes bitter in the mouths of kings. Canadian Pacific railway earnings in August showed an Increase of $2,000,- O00—another indication of Canada's growing prosperity. "Individual energy and cooperative action" would be a good slogan for the farmers of Kootenay and Boundary, .Sir Wilfrid Laurler's views are entitled to due respect, but Canada at the present time has more to fear from German militarism than from "British militarism after the war'' about whicli the ex-premier 'expresses concern. I CITY OF KIEFF A I RUSSIAN GEM When first, I traveled years ago. through Russia, I thought Kieff tin' best city in the empire. I am here for thc third lime during the war und m.v earlier impression remains; has Indeed, been strengthened. If I were obliged to live anywhere in Russia I would live in Kieff. Its attractions arc vouched for by the large number nf "retired" people, soldiers and officers mostly, who go thither to end their days. It draws them with a magnet which no other Russian city pos.srsses. Although it Is in tho.south of Russia its climate is severe. It endures a long and hard but healthy1 winter. Yet it has most of the features which we associate with southern cities, it is, to begin with, a city of flowers. From- May to September it grows for itself the lilies and violets, the roses and carnations which are sold at every street corner. During the months of snow and ice the flowers ore in the shop windows—exquisite displays from Polish gardeners' hot houses and from Nice. Next Kieff is a city of spacious, airy green. The streets ore broad. The shops are handsome and display their wares far more attractively than those of petrograd or Moscow. There are wide, shady boulevards where the sun shine filters through thc leafage of slim poplar and spreading chestnut. Life In the cafes is genial, brisk. The women are pretty. The men's faces suggest Intelligence. One notices immediately that Kieff Is a "dressy" place, Not over-dressy, but with a suggestion of Parisian style, Parisian sureness of charm. In Petrograd one feels that the inhabitants do not enjoy life. In Moscow they enjoy eating and drinking. In Kieff they enjoy everything—or, at any rate, they look as if they did. A Belgian officer with whom I fell into talk at a restaurant praised the trim- ness and gaiety of the place. "Ca commence un peu se resembler a Brux- elles" (It is a little like Brussels") he said with a homesick sigh. Lincoln's easy way with bis brother Americans, certainly those he knew personally, is illusrated by a little story of a meeting ot which o distant and rather self-sufficient relative was present. Said he: "Abe! Abe! I forgot to ax you about how May and the babies were!" Lincoln stopped, turned half way around toward Pantier ond in a low, gentle *,olce replied: "All well when I left them ot Springfield yesterday morning Uncle Jimmie; all very well, thank you," and resumed liis speech as If nothing unusual or private had interrupted him. What, precisely, wos Abraham Lincoln in religion? We ore told that-* He did not wear bis religion on his sleeves, as somo have done. He lived bis religion. It was a constant pervasive part of tbe man, but be was averse to advertise It, and never used it for lhe purpose of display. Mrs. Lincoln said, "Mr. Lincoln's religion was poetry." She was probably correct. If so it was of on idealism akin to those who "do always behold1 the face of my Father in heaven." It seems that Lincoln hnd two noticeable moods, one being— His power to concentrate strictly nil liis mental faculties on the task or purpose immediately before him. In this mood he was absolutely impenetrable to anything elso or by any other person. The second mood wos a blank unapproachable habit of inner meditation ot times sombre, block melancholy.-—From H. B. Rankin's "Persona! Recollections of Lincoln." This Is John D. Rockefeller's own private holiday, which he calls "Job Day." It was on Sept. 25, 1855, that the future "richest man in the world" landed his first job. "For days and weeks," he once said, "I tramped the streets of Cleveland asking merchants if they had not some use for a boy. I was refused many times, but I did not give up. Finally I got a job as an assistant bookkeeper, and T worked from Sept. 26 until Jan. 1 for $50. I wonder what the young men of today would say If they bad to work that time for the money 1 received?" Considering the present high cost of living, they would probably bo too weak from lack of food to say any-' thing much. Nearly all of the great financial dynasties of America has been established by men whose beginnings were as bumble as that of tbe oil magnate. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who amassed a fortune of $100,000,000, started his business career at the age of 16 by buying a boat to carry farm produce to New Vork. He married early in life, and his wife helped him on his way by keeping a little hotel. The first John Jacob Astor, the soft of a German peasant, after working on his father's farm until be was 16, went to London as an apprentice to his brother, a maker of musical instruments. At 20 he soiled for the United Slates, and soon embarked In the fur business which wos the foundation of the Astor fortune. Joy Gould's first job was as a laborer on his father's form, but later he studied surveying, made surveys of several New York counties, worked as a book agent, ond engaged in the lumber busisess. Julius Spencer Morgan, the founder of the Morgan fortune, was o clerk In a store until lie was 21, and later became a wealthy dry goods merchant in Boston before be engaged in tlie bonking business, Andrew Carnegie's first job was as o weaver's assistanl in a cotton foc- tory in Allegheny, Pa. Later he become a telegraph messenger hoy in Pittsburg, learned telegraphy ond become a full-fledged operator. The Seligmon brothers, founders of tbe international banking house wbich bears their name, were born in Germany, and, upon coming to America, laid the foundation of their fortunes by peddling cheap jewelry and other wares In Pennsylvania and the southern States. Philip D. Armour, who established tbe great packing industry in Chicago, was a native of New York State, and at 19 be was seized witli thc gold fever and walked across the continent to California, where be gained thc nucleus of his fortune in the mining business. John Wanamakcr's first job was as errand boy in a book store, at the age of 14. Later be became a retail clothing salesman, and started a small clothing store in Philadelphia in 1861. Thomas A. Edison was 12 years old when he became a railway newsboy. Later he became a telegraph operator and worked ot various places In the United States and Canada before he embarked on the career which bos Jftvon for him both fame and fortune. !< Russell Sage got liis start as on errand boy in o grocery store, and later established a store of bis own. BRITISH COOPERATIVE SYSTEM AFTER WAR LONDON, Englnnd—In an article on the cooperative movement after the war In War and Peace, L. S. Woolf says: Thc cooperative movement is the greatest and most successful socialist experiment that has ever yet been mode outside the dubious circle of state soclolism. For the system of industry now being carried .on In cooperative societies is .a communal as opposed to an individualist system. It is the community of 3,000,000 who has the control of all the industrial and commercial operations of the movement in their hands, and the system is so devised that the impetus and end of production ond distribution Is not the profits of this mon or that man, of this group or that group, but the needs of the community. It is no exaggeration to say that every cooperative Industrial operation, from the act of the man handing out sugar across tlie counter of the. store to the machinery pounding away in tbe huge Manchester factories, Is curried on for use and not for profit. The war lias shaken up this vast organization considerably, ond lias, I think, mode the cooperator more con- shious of himself and bis possibilities. It bos certainly made some other people, including government officers, more conscious of tbe cooperator. In, the first ploce, it has shown the movement how, being set in tlie midst of on individualist, capitalist, profit-making industrial system, on the old plodding lines, it bas not succeeded in getting very for out of the clutches of tlie private profit maker. When the war broke out, tiie patriotic business man, whe'ther shipowner, merchant, wholesale dealer, manufacturer, was by no means averse to trying to moke a little extra profit out of rising prices by raising them somewhat higher. Tbe object of tiie co- operator being to supply his needs, there is no inducement for him lc raise prices in order to,, raise profits, and there has acordingly been a strong movement to keep down prices in the stores. The 3,000,000 members supply themselves- with goods valued at nearly £150,000,000 o year, and of this goods to the value of £ 12,000,000 ore manufactured by cooperators in the factories of their wholesale societies. Now, where they controlled lo a great extent lhe actual production of goods, cooperators found that they were able to keep down prices in so far as tbe rise was due to sheer profit making. Thus for many places tbe society wos for some time enabled to keep down tbe price of bread, and the large soap manufacturing factories of the wholesale society have consistently kept down tlie price of soup. But the cooperators control of raw materials is extremely limited; be bas no control at all of transport; though his manufactures have grown eiibrmons- ly his .Industrial system Is still largely confined to buying' wholesale and supplying himself retail with articles of food and household use. Therefore for a great many of the commodities which he consumes he is still.dependent upon the profit making private producer and manufacturer. The cooperator soon found that he had little or no power to keep down the price of wheat and meat for instance. His eyes have been opened to the fact that if his system of communal industry Is'to have'its full effect, he must control the supply and production of row .materials on a large scale. This has given on imense impetus In the movement to the demand for an extension of "cooperative production." An agitation bus been started for the purchase of land and the growing of wheat by the wholesale societies, for tbe protection of the movement against the capitalist shipowner by the pur- chose of ships. It is possible that after the war we may see a considerable extension of cooperative industry on these lines. Tt would, of course, require a. large increase of capital in order to embark upon large-scale production. Tto obtain that capital out of the working class savings, the dividends upon purchase, of the movement, would not I believe, be impossible, but it would require a considerable amount of sacrifice and faith on the part of the 3,000,000 members.Whe- ther a new era In cooperative industry is to open after tbe war depends entirely upon whether the lost 18 months have instilled sufficient faith and energy into the movement.

He says there is one great German who ought to be treated os on exception. This one, Schopenhauer, hod o knack of holding tlie mirror up to his countrymen, as is shown in the following olmost prophetic utterance from bis "Counsels and Maxims," written about 75 years ago: Does not all history show that whenever a king is firmly planted on the throne and bis people reach some degree; of prosperity he uses it to lead his army, like a band of robbers, against adjoining countries? Are not almost all wars ultimately undertaken for purposes of plunder? In the most remote antiquity, ond to some extent also in the Middle Ages, the conquered became slaves—in other words, they had to work for those who conquered them; and where Is the difference between that and paying war taxes, which represent the product of previous work? AH war, soys Voltaire, is a matter of robbery, and the Germans should take that os o warning ("und die Deutschen sollen sich das gesogt scin lassen"). Mr. Loewe evidently has no delusions about the objects of the kaiser in deliberately provoking and precipitating this war. COLD STORAGE. ' t tw+ 4 "Can you direct me (hie) th'other shide?"

The first statute which provided a reasonable reward for salvage was passed in 1713. In those days of Queen Anne crews of men-of-war and private ships were entitled to claim rewards for their services when they gave salvage assistance Io vessels in distress. But owners of ships Were not recognized as having any claim. In 1825 they were admitted by a judgment of Lord Stnwell to have an interest In tbe matter and that-Interest hus steadily increased as the value of ships has risen and as the time expended in the work and the coal and stores used have become considerations of great value. It has gradually become the practise in the courts to allow in salvage awards SO per cent to the owners and something like 20 per cent to the master and crew. In the early days of steam—in 1854—another merchant shipping act was passed, and without discussion the crown renounced any claim for expenses incurred by H. M. ships in rendering salvage service. The act of 1894 also expressly stated that the crown should have no claim for any loss, damage or risk caused to the ship or her stores, tackle or furniture or for the use of any stores or articles.—Shipping World.

Mayor Malone at the next council meeting will veto the resolution passed Monday raising the wages of laborers on city work to $3.GO a day. Yesterday city laborers, whoso number at this period of tlie year is small, quit work on receiving their fortnightly paychecks, These checks were for the two weeks prior to last Monday and would, In any event, be at the existing scale of $3,33 per day and the mayor said he was at a loss to understand why the men quit. He explained that the cessation of work was of no importance as the city had no essential work In progress. Reasons for the forthcoming veto are that Mayor Malone believes Nelson city should not pay a higher scale of wages than other cities in the surrounding district and that if it did so the tendency would be to force industrial enterprises to pass Nelson by in favor of other centres where the more general scale of wages prevailed. He stated that he believed also that Nelson should not go ahead with any but necessary public works undertakings at this time when industrial demand lor labor Is great, but should conserve its financiat resources as far as possible lor the after the war period. For this reason he considers it good policy to close down on all but absolutely necessary public works. Regarding wages paid in other cities Mayor Malone pointed out that with the single exception of Rossland no other city in tlie district paid as high as the existing scale In Nelson of $3.33 per day. Trail puys $3.25, he said, and Fernie. $2.75. The only one as high or higher Is Rossland which pay's $3.50. Wants to Built up Industries. "If we were to establish a wage scale higher than that of other cities ,in Kootenay and Boundary it would, in my opinion, work out to tbe disadvantage of tbe laborers and the people of the city as a whole, if our wage scale is higher than that of other centres in the district concerns proposing to proceed with Industrial enterprises will naturally go to those other places We would lose tbe Industries and the laborers, businessmen and tbe citizens generally woull suffer," said the mayor. "I think, in any event," he continued, "that we should not spend more money than we ure compelled to spend at this time on public works. The demand for labor throughout lhe district for mining, lumbering and other industrial purposes is great. There is no unemployment. After the war conditions may he very different and it seems to me that It is our duty to prepare for them. There have been times in Nelson when an expenditure of $40,000 or $50,000 on public works, when unemployment was rife, would have been of the greatest benefit to the workers of the city as a whole. I believe, there fore, that we should conserve our fi naucial resources In readiness to meet what the future may hold for us." Tho mayor concluded by expressing thc conviction that the council, in view of the circumstances, would support him in the veto. IINE SAMP N ES MINERAL EXHIBIT Department Smaller Than Last Year But Entries Regarded As of Greater Value Than Previously Although the exhibit of minerals at the Nelson fall fair was not as large as had been expected, the samples from the district mines that were on exhibition were of an exceptionally high grade and aroused considerable interest to mining men who visited tho city expressly to examine the entries. Among those which were .awarded first prizes were a set of samples of free milling ore from the Noonday group at Lemon and Eight-Mile creeks, exhibited by Johnston and Radeiiffe. Tbe samples are said to run about 16.02 ounces In gold.

They did not see the premier, but were received by the chief whip, .1. A. Gnl- land, M, P. The deputation was headed by Airs. Arncllffe Sennetl, founder and presideni of the Northern .Men's Federation for woman's suffrage. Airs. AriiolilTe-Seiinett stated that the deputation aimed at avoiding a dangerous agitation and had therefor, come to point out the danger of Ignoring women in any registration or franchise bill which would dominate the ne.st general election. If adult suffrage for men wns introduced they desired stern equity for women, who also ought to he included. as adult suffragists. Baillie Hamilton Brown, ex-ehairman of the labor party in the Glasgow town council maintained thnt ns women were now engaged in doing men's work at the same wages as men they were entitled to the franchise. Air. Gulland in reply said that not only had they made nut a dear ease, but they hnd nothing to fear. A great advance had been made during the last month or two in regard to the question. Air. Asquilh's statement Unit he would no longer oppose the enfranchisement of women indicated tt very great change in regard to lhe question, and it was only a matter of time when women would have the vote. He confessed that there still remained a certain prejudice amongst a section of members of parliament whose names lie was not at liberty to mention; but he did not wish to make it a party question and he thought if the people who were anxious to see the franchise extended to women would bold their hands, the prejudice would be beaten down. The deputation Iheii endeavored to see Mr. Walter LonPj and Sir Edward Carson, but without success, (in behalf of the former, however, Air. Gulland informed the deputation that Air. Long held out very great hnpes'thiil all the difficulties would lie overcome and that tho federation would be satisfied, COMMENT MADE ON ACTION OF FRANCE IN SYRIA PARIS, France—The former correspondent of the Temps in Beirut contributes some interesting comments on the action of France In Syria, especially in connection with the threats of reprisals which France bus addressed the Turkish government through the Intermediary njMhe United Slates, with regard to the execution pf tbe Syrian notables who were friends of l-'rance. If the Turkish government Is tu he believed, says the Temps correspondent, these Syrian notables had committed the crime of entertaining friendly relations with lhe allies previous to the declaration of war. Anxlou.4 lo justify their action and especially anxious to strike a blow at tiio prestige of France, the Turks did unt hestittite to break deliberately into ihe French consulate, in spite of the fact thnt the seal of the United Stotes hntl been affixed, and pretend thnt thoy aad found among the archives documents establishing tlie guilt of lhe notables. Now it had been quite definitely ascertained that ho lineament had been left in tlie consulate either in the lofts nr anywhere else. The Turks made up the whole story nnd their version nf the incident is pore invention, h fact thai will nut surprise people who know anything nf thi- ways things are done in Syria. The very diversity nf lhe political opinions of tho notables who liave suffered capital 'punishment would be enough to show, if il were necessary, (be bold hypocrisy of tin- pretext given by the Turks for their ucthm, For many years it lias been t\ recognised fnct that the emir Omar Abd el Knder was n French protege; it was known that Sheikh Taburra was nn Influential member of the parly which aims nt the reconstitution of an in dependent Arab nation; Selim Bey Tabbat wus u'prominent christian and a British protege, with whom the French consul-general was not always on the best-terms. In this affair the Turks had, but one aim; to strike at persons favorable to the allied cause on any pretext which served their purpose. It would seem, however, that they did not act entirely on their own initiative; it is easy to seq in the finding of compromising documents, so carelessly "forgo!ten" by the French consular agents, a characteristic feature of German methods, Once more to prove a case of French carelessness was a temptation which Berlin could not resist! Was Berlin wholly in the wi;ong? Many a time we have provided tlie weapons which the Germans have used agninsi us. Tlie mistakes of a. hesitating oriental policy, the reserve of an administration that did not want any unpleasantness, resulted in some regrettable incidents wiiich went far to justify tlie bad opinion entertained of France. The Temps correspondent goes on to cite two examples of tbe way in which France allowed herself to be ilufied ln the east, one of which was as follows: In ibe st niggle whicli France bas carried on against Germany with regard to railway concessions in Turkey, Hie correspondent states, our diplomacy hns often bad to maintain confidential arrangements with a group who represented French Interests ln that region. Now In this group then, was a Get'mun, a very active German, whose work was recompensed by the French government by tbe bestowcl of the Legion of*Honor, Tin1 Germnn Emperor also showed his gratitude hy making him a privy councilor and giving him a title. How can any astonishment be felt then nt the fact that Prance had the honor to build with her own capital n railway system of commercial importance doubtless, but which also had great strategic value. Tiie allies now know the Importance of tliis railway-of the railway lines Suinn-l'an- dermo, Tripoli-Hums, Aleppo' Raynk, Damascus, Cajffu and Jerusalem. It was even quite- probable that the French would take their share In the defense works of these strategic railways, works planned in 11)13 by Colonel vmi [Cupel, chief of stuff of tbe Li- man von Sanders mission then hi Syria. In conclusion, the correspondent of lhe Temps, referring to the representations made to the Ottoman government by Ibe American nmbassador Jit tbe demand of the French government while admitting ihe need for action, emphasizes tlie necessity of Ibe utmost prudence. II must not 'be forgotten, he says, that the Turks have numerous French and allied prisoners, both soldiers and civilians. For two years the Turks have dragged too many of our*fel!ow countrymen through the plains of Mesopotamia, the moun tn ins of Kurdistan and of Armenia! \Vl19n ithoir martyrdom comes to be known, il will once more revolt tlie civilized world. Should we "put our threats into execution the results will be even more disastrous and will produce even worse conditions than those iilrendy prevailing. To send fond to Syria be adds, means to send food to Ibe Turkish armies, ■ >ne would ftnyo tn be very simple not to realize. tbai. in spile of all precautions, this would certainly be the case.

MCMIla- laaVN, WhO has ' Initiated many notable 1 m p ro v e ments since he became Genera] Manager ot the C.P.R. Telegraphs eighteen months ago, has Just decided to inaugurate an lm* portant s e rvlce entirely new to Canada over the hundred and ten thousand miles ot wire under his immediate control, namely, the day letter which may now be sent between points in Canada on the Canadian Pacific system at a rate very much reduced as compared ■with the usual commercial rush telegram. Mr. McMillan is convinced that many of those who send telegrams would be quite satisfied it these arrived on the same day, whereas a proportion _ of the cost of the rush telegram Is due tothe cost ot speedy dellveryj The day letter of fifty words will be rated at one and a half times the cost of a regular rush message of ten words and can still bring an answer the satae day, whioh is as quick as many people desire. There are sixteen hundred C.P.R. telegraph offices throughout Canada, at each of which the new service will be In force, so that this will be a Dominion-wide service stretching from Loulsburg, Nova Scotia, to Victoria, B.C. Messages will be taken In either French or English, code words not being permissible. Mr. John McMillan owes his success to a genial and taotful disposition which mado him one of tho most popular C.P.R. officials ln tbe West, where his work centred until he was called to the head office In Montreal last year. Although less than fifty years ot age, he Joined the C.P.R. at Its inception, working on construction in 1883. After acting for a number of years as operator at Donald, B.C., he became Inspector of Telegraphs at Winnipeg in 1902. Assistant Superintendent In 1906s Superintendent at Calgary In 1907.

(30ed to proceed with plans for the operation 'of a cooperative creamery in Nelson. The delegates wero in attendance at the first of a series of Farmers institute conferences arranged at the central convention at Victoria last spring. Estimates given of the number of milch cows in the section from tbe international boundary on the south to Creston valley on the east, and Rossland, Patterson, Trail and the Arrow and Slocan lakes and Lardeau on the west and north ranged from a total of 800 to 900. There are 22G head of mileli cattle in the district between Nelson and Waneta. Throe hundred animals are considered sufficient to create the necessary supply for a creamery costing about ?3000 ex- elusive of site. Nelson was chosen because of its central location and a committee composed of W. A. Barrett of Fruitvale. .T. .T. Campbell of Willow Point, Edgar Jamieson of Slocan valley, C. F. McHardy of Nelson and J. M .Shepley of Shoreacres was named to proceed with plans for the project. It is intended to secure the necessary capital from ranchers engaged in the dairy and allied branches of farming. Money nllghl possibly be borrowed from the government but opinion at the conference was unanimous that the new cooperative concern would be much better off if it commenced business without thc overhead charges involved by payment of interest on borrowed money. See Profits in Byproducts Mr. Barrett was one of the strong advocates of the creamery plan. Enough monev could be saved in byproducts such as buttermilk and skimmed milk alone to pay dairy expenses, he declared. He favored Nelson as the site for the creamery because of its location and because it also offered a market right at hand for the finished product. Buttermilk sells at 40 cents a gallon. Creamery products are to be manufactured and sold under a special Farmers' institute label and guarantee. On'e of tlie consequences of tho establishment of a creamery, said W. E. Scott, deputy minister of agriculture, who came from Victoria to attend the conference, would be that farmers would rapidly weed out cows guilty of a small hutterfat production. No farmer should feed milch cows without testing the butterfat. output and weighing the total milk product. Cost of apparatus, he said, was small. He divided cows into two classes—producers and "hoarders." Several farmers present told Mr. Scott they had discovered "hoarders" among their own flocks and bad been able to pick them out by means of the Babcoek test. They had then sent them to the block. As w result of use of the Bah- cock test In the Chilliwack district, said Mr. Scott, the "boarders" had been weeded out of tbe herds and the average hutterfat production raised from 2-10 lo SfiO pounds. Want; Lower Express Rates S. p. Pond called attention to express rates. Dominion Express charges were three times ns great as rales charged by the Great Northern on the line, between Nelson and Waneta. Conference members asserted their belief that, when they were united in a cooperative creamery they would have little difficulty in convincing tbe Dominion Express company of the necessity for a reduction to the Croat Northern tariff basis. Mr. Sbeiiley was one of tbe strong advocates of a creamery and stated that a low estimate of the number of milch, cattle in the district of which Shoreacres is the centre was 125. This number would be doubled or more in a year if a cooperative creamery were established, he declared. "Last year British Columbians sent S2.500.000 outside the province for butter alone. Our own ranchers eon get this business If they go after if," said Deputy Minister Kentt. He mentioned Salmon Arm, Kelowna and Armstrong as among Okanagan centres where cooperative creameries were being success fill y operated by the dairy farmers. Salmon Arm was shipping its butter as far west as Victoria, where it sold for r»0 cents a pound, "I don't think there is any more suitable centre in the province for a cooperative creamery than Nelson." ho said. Mr. Jamieson endorsed the creamery plan.,. Many ranchers in the Slocan valley, he stated, wore intending to increase their dairy herds directly cooperative creamery were established and they were assured of a steady market and favorable prices. Mr. Campbell said that ibe west arm ranchers were equally strongly in favor of the plan. Calgary Beer EXPORT. BUFFALO BRAND. LAGER DISTRIBTTTOBS Nelson Wine and Spirit Co. NELSON, B. C.

BEEKEEPERS HAVE MD A GOOD YEAR White Clover Spreads and Adds to Possibilities of industry—Annual Meeting Is Held "The season just passed has been a favorable one for the beekeepers in Kootenay and Boundary, there having been a good yield ot excellent honey. The outlook in the spring was not very bright as the bees had wintered badly, mainly owing to the poor quality of the food stored the previous year, combined with an exceptionally prolonged and severe winter. Sugar being up high in price tlie bees also suffered on that account in many instances. Very little artificial feeding will be necessary this fall and presence of sufficient wholesome natural food in the hives will cause better wintering results to be looked for with stronger colonies at the commencement of next season," stated a report presented at the annual meeting of the Kootenay Beekeepers association yesterday. "Much could be done by members In improving and extending the sources from which nectar Is gathered by the bees, and so increasing the general honey yield by persuading their friends'and neighbors to grow alsilce in place of red clover wherever possible. Fortunately the white, or Dutch, clover, our most important honey plant, has become firmly established in the Kootenays, and is spreading everywhere, which will have the effect of increasing our honey crops and making them more certain. When planting shade-trees select the European and American lindens, and the black lueust, all of which yield nectar." The second annual meeting was held at the board of trade rooms, at which there was a representative attendance of members. At tho commencement of the proceedings J. J. Campbell, Willow Point, was voted chairman pro tern, pending the arrival of the president, Major-Gen. Lord Aylmer, who came in on the boat from Queens Bay to attend the meeting. The report and balance sheet were unanimously adopted after which officers were elected. The association has now "35 members. It. is in a flourishing condition and much has been done since its inception a short time ago in organizing the beekeeping industry in Kootenay and Boundary and placing It on a permanent and sound basis.

HONEV EXHIBITS ATTRAC1 Value of Beekeeping to Fruitgrowers Demonstrated at Fair—Samples from District Shown The honey exhibits at the fair, although not very numerous, were quite sufficient to demonstrate a prosper- our future in store for the important industry of beekeeping in the Kootenays. , Tbe honey shown was unsurpassed for flavor and quality and would hold its own in the keenest competition anywhere. There is believed to bo no reason why all Ibe honey consumed In British Columbia should not bo produced in the province. It has been stated that tlie present annual importation is at least 80 tons, which at 20 cents per pound would amount to ?.1^,000. In addition the services rendered to tlie community by the bees in pollcnizing fruit blossoms and so Increasing and improving fruit crops are incalculable. For this purpose it has heen estimated that at least one hive of bees Is required for each acre of fruit trees so that more and more bees should be kept If only for Ibis alone. There have boen some remarkable yields of honey during the past season. At one apiary in Creston two tons of extracted honey and 500 pounds of comb honey are said to have been lakeiT from 11 hives, spring count. Tlie value of this at 20 cent per pound is ■JiToo, thus making il quite an import- art! side-line. Specimen jars of honey taken at yarioUd places in the Kootenays were interesting. There was a sample of water-white white clover honey of the usual exquisite and delicate flavor from Cranbrook, and alfalfa honey of somewhat pronounced flavor from In- veremere, which had already granu- House Wanted We have a client who wishes to Rent a Modern Five* Roomed Cottage at once.
