N. M. -Patterson, of this city, who
was a member .of the Canada wheat

ip regarded throughout the west as

sees in ,the. unprecedented, movement
of wheat from Fort William to %u?-
falo, a ^hurried effort to get under
the. barrier, and dispose of as m^ch
Canadian, .wheat to the American
buyers, as the traffic will bear before the long talked of embargo is
put on.  or a duty bar raised.
The . 45,000,000 buBhels . already

LETTERHEADS of'
DISTINCTION
It pays to have distinctive
stationery, especially when
the     cost     is     reasonable.
A business is often Judged,
perhaps unconsciously, by its
letterheads. Good paper and
first-class printing count for
much more than Is sometimes
realized.
Our large stock of papers,
In white and eight or nine
colors, enables us to meet the
ever-increasing demand for

Hen and Dairy Cow Coming
Into Their Own Says Minister of Agriculture.
(U'KLPH, Bee. 7.—Premier Drury,
Hon. Manning Doherty, minister of
agriculture for Ontario, and Hon.
Duncan Marshall, minister of agriculture for Alberta, were the chief
speakers at the luncheon today given
by the city to the breeder*! an_
principal visitors at the winter fair,
AH of them congratulated the directors on the success of the fair
and. emphasis was placed on tho efforts that nre being put forth to
get Great Britain to lift the embargo,   against   Canadian   cattle.
Hon. Duncan Marshall referred
t;o the high prices now prevailing.
Conditions on the farms were very
serious at the present time, he said,
and the farmer was the one who
was heing hit first. He got it
both   coming  and   going.
There were many things needed,
Mr. Marshall said, and one was better training and better education.
The farmer of the future must be
100 per cent efficient. ■ Both''the
hen and the dairy cow were gradually coming into their own, as they
should. He was of the opinion that
during the coming year the live
stock industry would play a more
important part than ever before. He
also referred to the cattle embargo,
and was certain, he said, that steps
were being taken to have It removed.
He suggested th<\r the Dominion
parliament he asked to' pass a resolution demanding that the em
bargo be removed as this thing had
been going on too long. He sj
be fell that If such action were
taken, good results would at onoe
follow,
Commissioner Reserves Judgment ; Brotherhood Regards Steps as Retrograde
OTTAWA. Dec. 7.—(Candian
Press)—Quite a lengthy argument
aa to the relative values of cowcatchers and steps on the front of
freight engines engaged in road
service, was heard by the railway
commission today in the application
of the New York Central railroad
for u. modification of the board'i
regulations regarding safety appliances*. The company wished to
use n step construction on its freight
engines running intp Canada, instead
of the pilot construction.
Representatives of tho railway
brotherhood, Galvin Lawrence and
W. Ii. Best, fought against tho application determinedly, the former
characterizing it as the most retrograde step lie had observed in 42
years   of   railroading. Judgment
waa  reserved.

ST. .TOHN, N: B., Dec. 7.—Unless

mania, the central powers will soon
have complete control of her markets, wns a. statement made th-8
morning by I. C- Tonldu, manager
of Hut oredit interests of Rumania,
of Bucharest, who was one of the
passengers on the Corslcan, which
docked   this   morning   from   Havre.
Mr. lonldu was sent to Canada
somo time ago as a special dole-
gate by Queen Marie of Rumania
In Rumania's Interests, and was also a member of the Rumanian legation  at "Washington.
Speaking of conditions in Rumania
ho said that the depreciation in the
value   of.  their   money   was   one   of
^ho    most   ; series    handicaps    ,to-
wards  re-establishment.
Ho believed the best way would
be for Canadians to export their
goods to Rumania and receive goods
lu exchange  of  money.
The Corsican ' brought 295 cabin and 853 other passengers. Some

Tho Province o_ British Coiuxabia1
Ib fifty per cent larger than the state*
of Texas; and, Kootenay is a 30,000;
iequare mile block. It Is covered:
With mountains throughout, there are
dozens uf iieakfi excecaini:.10(lii)'J -t'.;.:l.'*
in.height And.these.moi_ntains.are:
alive with wealth; nearly all the lead?
ahd zinc and much of the silver and'
gbld of Caaadft come from Kootenay,
and it is the loading.bltumihous coal-
producer, ol ^"Western Canada. But*
the surface haa only been'_c*fr_tched;
it will sometime produce" ■^"■hundredfold what it at present, produces.
Kootenay has tho minerals, the
timber, and the "pulp, and it.has the;
waterpower to turn thh wheels of a
thousand mills. On the Pend d'Oreitle
200,000 horse power can be developed, and on the lower Kootenay
100,000 horse power, with half a'million more^scattered throughout the
district- Many mountain streams are
power generators.
Tho district is well supplied with
railroads. Tbe main line of the
. Canadian Pacific crosses the north
part of tbe Kootenay and the Crow's
Nest line of the :*ame railway crosses
the southern part. Tbe Lake Windermere Branch, running north and
south through the beautiful "Winder-
mare region, connects two lines in
East Kootenay; while in "West Kootenay several rail-and-lakejoutes connect Revelstoke on the main line with
Nelson on the Crow's Nest. Oar ferries operate on the Lakes. Branches
. of the Great Northern, crossing tbe
American border, connect with fhe,|
Crow's Nest li'ie at Grand . Forks,
Trail, Nelson aud Fernie; a branch
■ of the Crow's Nest ruaA^ff^Yahk
•across the border to Rp;.i'an?.'     '
The leading industries of Kootenay
are lumbering/ mining, and fruit
raising. At present, other "lines of
Industry are in their infancy.
I Kighty per cent of the total area is
■covered with forest Tho question of
^vood-piilp. is intimately associated ' with the lumber industry.
jf\vs demand for pulp and tho
"tcarcity of paper are felt in Canada and elsewhere. Canada has 83
_**iilp mills, but there is not a mill
between the ' west coast of British
Columbia and Rainy River, a distance
■fti'ovcr 1,60n miles. **"
i    For the purpo.sB o£ mining, Koote-.
(1) Trail Sinelter, __.C.
(2) One of the Mine Buildings
nay is divided mto two distinct parts;
the coal mining field ami the metal
mining field. The coal measure!* aro
limited to the extreme eastern part.
of tbe district, and there are no metals there. Tho re-st of tho district
is rich in. metals, but has no coal.
There are three known bituminous
coal areas in Canada, two of them on
islands jat the ertremeties. of the
cg-intry, Cape<~Bretoh Island at the
oa&torn end of'tiie country and Vancouver Island at the western end,
and between these two islands no lii
tuminous coal is produced save on
the slopes af the main chain of the
Rockies, the- great bulk coming from
the Crow's Nest field. >
The mines, of tho Crow's Nest were
opened in ISOS, since which lime
they have produced millions of tons
of coal. The annual .production is
now in'.excess of 3,000,000 tons. The
following figiiree, giving tho exports
to the United States alone, will give
some idea of the present production
and potential resources of this real
field: ' In 1916 the coal exports to
the United States amounted to 585,187
tons, valued at $*L277,<in: in 1917,
341,518 tons, wor'i-h ■J1,*_00.<M0; in
1*118, 507,22!)-tons, valued *t $1 93(1,-
863; and in 1019, 53-1,075. worth ?2,-,

MORE~ONE-DISH    DINNER   MENUS
Have Three" Official
Languages
While in some parts of Cannula there is the bilingual question, Palestine comes into the
limelight as a tri-lingual country. There English, Arabic and
Hebrew are recognized as the
official languages. All government ordinances, official notices
and forms will be published in
these languages. Correspondence may be addressed to any
government department in any
one of these languages. Correspondence will be issued from
government departments in
whichever language is practically convenient Telegrams may
be sent in any of the three languages. All railway and road
notices will be in the three languages.
In municipal and rural areas,
where there is a considerable
Jewish population, the three
languages will be used in the
offices of the district and sub-
district governors of the municipalities and of other official
bodies in the same manner as
" in the government departments.
Such districts will be termed
tri-lingual areas. They will be
' specified by the high commissioner- The present tri-lingual
areas are: Jerusalem city, Jaffa
town and district, subdistricts
of Tiberias and Safed, Hamleh
town and subdistrict, Haifa
town, Zimmarin subdistrict.
Other areas may be added from
time to time, the guiding principle being the presence of a
population of not less than 20
per cent of Jews in the population of the area.
The official announcement
provides that in courts of law
and land registries of a trilingual area, every process,
every official copy of a judgment, and every official document shall be issued in the language of the person to whom it
is addressed; and written and
oral proceedings shall be conducted in any of the three languages.
The government, it is reported, is sending its official translations to the Hebrew Language
Institute for correction.
Tlie demand for one-dish dinners,
softened with several rows of cording,
started during tlie war, has never
abated—and let's hope it never will.
For the one-dish dinner stands for
economy of money and labor, and that
Is what we housekeepers aro seeking.

O all who own a McLagasi Phonograph comes the pride of possession—a lasting, satisfying pride,
for the McLagan is an artistic creation of talent and rare beauty. It is built
to fit an ideal. Its reproductions are

numbers, among its most appealing and exclusive features, lhe
McLagan-Fletcher Reproducer, a scientific triumph. It brings out
detail from a record that cannot be heard when played by instruments equipped with ordinary reproducers. ' The volume' and
richness of sound ^reproduced by this little device is astonish-big.
And the tone is so much more mellow, full and truthful. It
brings out the velvety soft tones; while the vast torrent of sound of
a great orchestral finale or operatic selection bears not a trace of
that unpleasant blast so often heard. There are no screws in the
McLagan-Fletcher Reproducer—nothing to work loose, rattle or gel
out of order. It is the harmonious co-ordination of the Reproducer
with the McLagan-Fletcher Tone Arm, and the sound' chamber
that has made the McLagan famous for its perfection of tonal
reproduction.
The McLagan range covers a variety of twenty-two models—■
from those of moderate expense to instruments that would grace
the most luxuriously furnished homes. Any McLagan dealer will
take pride in showing'you this instrument in, its many different and
lovely designs.

Had Suffered Two Years Before She Started Taking
Tanlac, Says Miss Arna-
son; In Best of Health
Now.
"I know I owe my present splendid
health -to Tahlac and to nothing else,"
■said Miss Alice Arnason. a weiu
known business woman. Mfss Arila-
son lives at 381 Balmoral St., "Winnipeg, Man.
"I can hardly realize t*he wonderful
change In my i condition, for it was
only two months ;igo that I was in
such bad health I was on tho verge of
despair. Por two years I had been
"arradually growing weaker; in fact,
I havft never been strong since having
tho 'flu.' I practically had no appetite and the wee bit I ate gave me
so Uttle nourishment that I grew
thinner day by day. Just when I
was   feeling  bluest   I  determined   to
try, Tanlac,' which I heard had benefited, so many'Winnipeg people.
.."The results from the very first
bottle were a big -surprise to me, for
I began to Improve right away, and
by the -time I had taken the second
bottle I was like a new womarf.
"My health has been completely
restored. I eat heartily and have no
more trouble with indigestion. I am
not bothered with headaches tnat used
to make life miserable' and Z sle-ep
•like'.a- ch'ild -all.night.   \
"Prom the ''bottom of my ;heart I
am grateful tbat such a medicine aa
Tanlac exists. ' Nobody, I don't care
how rtin down they may be, should
give up hope until they have tried
Tanlac.
"I don't believe anybody could feel
any worse than I did, and 1*C Tanlac
could bring ' mo* health and strength
I'know it can do the same for others."
Tanlac la sold in Kelson by Canada

RESERVES JUDGMENT IN
DOMINION TEST CASE
LONDON, Dec. 7.-—(Canadian Associated Press).—The privy coun-ril
today reserved judgment In the teat
-mse as to whether Dominion companies should be subject to prov-
vlncial legislation requiring registration as a condition of exercising
their powers,
Wallace Nest-ill, who appeared on
behalf- of the governments of the
provinces of Ontario and Manitoba,
respondents in the case, argued concerning a decision In the John Deer
Plow- case given some time back,
that the deilsiqri did not cover the
present case under review, that of
th'e Great West Saddlery company
versus thi? King, and referred to
remarks then, made by Lord Sumner.
Lord Ifaldanc said it was rather
alarming to think thut remarks made
wero being reported and might at
some other time be referred to as
authorities.
Lord Sumner said that that waa
why he- had' hot said anything during tho present hearing, a remark
that   aroused   laughter.

Shipping Shortage Delays
Scotch Farmer Immigrants
WINNIPEG, Dec. 7—Rev. .1. Knox
'Clark, immigration chaplain, Wlnni
peg, asked the "Winnipeg Presbytery
today why there is such an easy
entry into Canada for undesirables
•.vhen the most desirable of all settlers, Scotch farmers, are. unable to
get transportation for' the coming
summer into Canada. Ho declared
that he had heard thero were 15,000
Scotch farmers ready to leave for
Canada at once, but that they had
to defer thcih departure on account
of shortage of shipping accomodation. The Presbytery was unable to
furnish any .satisfactory answer
but .some inquiry is to be made
in the proper quarters without delay, s
Two recommendations were adopted by the Presbytery. One was that
Rev. J. ALr-qartnoy Wilson, of Calgary, bo made professor of syacm-
atlc theology at Edmonton College
and the other that Rev. Thomas A.
Alltchelf bo appointed to a professorship in Westminister Hall, Van-

Henry Tnifford, Interniitionnl Poultry Expert and Breeder, for nearly
eighteen years Editor of ■ Poultry
Success.
Tho average pulled lays 150 t-ggft.
•If kept the second year, bIto may lay
100 more. Then she goes to market,
Yet, It has been scientifically established that every pullet is born or
hatched with over ont! thousand minute egg germs in her system—and
Will lay them on a highly profitable
basis over a period of four to six
years'   time  if given   proper  care.

egg production all through cold winter months when eg-****, aro highest:

many other money making poultry
secrets are contained in Mr. Trafford's "1,000 EGG HEN" system of
poultry raising, ono copy of which will

Of this paper who keeps six hens or
more. Eggs should go, to a dollar or

read by thc clerk, Mr. Wilson heedr
ing tho advice of his physfcnn not to

Galleries in both senate and house
were crowded. Both were drawn by
the chance that his message might
touch on the League of Nations
question or his own approaching re-
retirement to private life, and were
,disappointed.
Mr. Wilson confined himself almost wholly to domestic questions.
Only by Inference dW his . message

Committee of Eleven Chosen to M)eet With Delegates From
Local Organizations and Select Seven Candidates; Report to be Submitted (or Ratification to Another Public
lileeting; Formation of a Ratepayers' Association is
Proposed.
At a large and representative citizen**" meeting in thc ciiy council
chamber last night, after three hours
discussion, a comlttee of 11 ratepayers was named, to act jointly with a
committee consisting of three delegates from each public or seml-
publlc organization In Nelson, in
securing a slate of seven candidates for xhe city council, this slate
to- be presented to" another public
meeting of citizens on Dec. 20 for
ratification   or  alteration.
tho original ratepayers 10 mimed
wero Alf Jeffs, J.* G. Bunyan, Charles
H. Sewell, I. G. Nelson, J- E. Annable, J, A. Irving, Alex Leith, f.
J. Boles,- C. D. Blackwood, and J.
W, Holmes',- T. J. Scanlaii, who occupied the chair, was subsequently added to thfc committee In ^he
•-"apaelty   qf   convenor.
Unanimity reigned over the gathering, as to the".desirability *6t assuring the ^election of the best possible slate for the council, and
for the first hour, of the discussions (lho-. opinions expressed wero
""hiefly in'support of the plan outlined in The Daily News by A. T..
Walley, C. D- Blackwood, and W. J.
MeagheV, which provided for a nominating cbm-mlttee' representing various specified organizations. Divergence then began to .-appear, as "to
whether this was the ideal method
of securing: the object 'sought, and
J. G. Bunyan fathered a_ plan for
a public meeting, at whieh all elec*
tors present should 'ballot on names
to he submitted. The Bunyan plan
was outvoted by a narrow margin, hut In the end was practically
adopted, \Vhen It was decided that
the work of the big nominating committee must "be submitted to a meeting of the electors  for ratification,
l\lr. Walley opened proceedings
by stating that the meeting had been
called wiih but one object in viejv,
to secure the best possible representatives for the alderman ic board,
the one issue before tho citizens
being that of asusuring the progress
of the. city during the coming .year.
T.   J(.   Scanlaii   v/nn   voted   to   the
*_hair   on   motion   o£   George   H'or-
toad and  J. W.  Holmes,  Mr.'Horstead was later installed as secretary.
Ori-ji.ti--.tors Outline  Proposal
M.r. Walley read the letter in The
Daily News calling the meeting and
setting --.forth the proposal for a
nominating committee .composed of
repreaenlatives of various organizations. He said the scheme did not
profess to he perfect, and perhaps
oould be Improved. 'TVe have not
been pushing our city as much as
we should," he said. "This is one
year when \\*e should jjush.'
Mr. Meagher urged that tho time
to get a good mayor and aldermen
was  now, and not later.
"Mr. Blackwood, the third joint author of the letter, claimed it embodied /'a mighty good idea," though
it" was only intended as a suggestion. Nelson's '■ civic elections, he
said, were the greatest farce, in the
country. Personal differences shquld
■bo forgotten, and a man 'should ho
chosen for his abilities,
Chairman Scanlan said those who
had good ideas in "the* tops of their
domes should not be stingy with,
them, but trot- them out.
j Called upon as the oldest man
present,. William "Ebbs declared It
was an inspiration to see a largo
public meeting -take up this issue.
•The civic administration was a "mat-
tor   of   dollars   tvnd   cents. 'A   man
should he hired to conduct the
city's business because he could make
It pays dividends, not because of
the   color   of   his   hair.
J. Fred Hume expressed full accord   with   the   idea   outlined.
J. A. Irving. , referring to ''the
best council Nelson had ever had,"
of which he and Mr. Seanjnn had
been members, snld the custom had
b»en io wait till five minutes before the election, and then get .together a slate- it was not a question of avoiding a fight, he said,
but of getting the bos'*, men, whe
would • accept nomination ' If they
•knt»w the citizens were  behind   Iliem.
Mr. Lelth was in sympathf* with
thc plan outlined by tho three "coconspirators." Sometimes namee
were put .In at the closing 'minute. The municipality should be
run as a business, He would not
suggest "Nelson had net been well
governed In the past, for he was
proud o'f the city's good - financial
position. Anyone who knew anything about " a. balance-sheet knew
that, But ,1s was possible to improve ithe method of selecting those
who were to be on the council- ^   •
- Aid. C. F. McHardy, who Was
leaving to catch -tho coast train,
said if a family was selecing one
of its members for an important
mission, the individual most fitted, everything considered, would
■be choosen; Civic life was.just one
stop above.the home, and, the same
principle   should   be   followed.
Favors  'Contests
A plea, for contested elections was
made by TV. IT. Jones, .who stated
that as soon as he saw --.the letter
he felt' at once this wa*, not the
proper way to go about the matter. When the voters divided into
two parties, the principles were usually well defined, Shcl there were
good men lo uphold the principles-
A candidate's costs, in an election
were small, and he shoifld be willing
lo spend the necessary amount. Citizens who' had lived ln • Nelson for
a substantial portion -of their lives,
and done Wol\ here, should be ready
tfo donate sonic -''time to the city.
If not, they twere poor fish.,
Mr. Blackwood asked what Mr.
Jones considered the issue beforo
the   citizens.
- Mr. Jones replied by asking Mr.
Blackwood to go Into details as to
thc matters not elaborated In the
letter, under the head of the city's
advancement.
The chlilrman commented that
While Mr. Jones said citizens should
be patriotic aiid do their bit, some-
'times they didn't do it. "Don't sit
there like a lot of dummies," he admonished those present.
E. W. Widdowson thought the
method of choosing candidates suggested was not feasible. He suggested that lho pi'esent meeting, or
another specially called, should nominate candidates, and name a committee to ask them, to. run,
Mr. Walley said Mi*. Jones had
not taken a very active part in
mu nlclpal affairs, and perhaps did
not realize the difficulties there
hurt been in the last 10 or 15 yeai'
in getting good, candidates.
A Ratepayers'. Association;
The formation of a ratepayers',
sociation was advocated by .Henry
Waters, as the logical way to keep
tab on civic affairs. The nomination
■should be hy such an'*tisSoclation.'He
criticized the proposal -befdre the
meeting as "too nebylpus."
Mr. Ebbs referred to"the ratepayers' association '.-*" he had once
'Started,  that had later, rnerged with

Mayor J. A. McDonald, called u*^-
by the chairman, said the proposal
was a good one. He also approved
the suggestion for a ratepayers' association. Before a man ran for
mayor, he should be required to give
a pledge that earth would not simply he carted from one point to another on street work. There had
been years when (30^000 was spent
the streets, with not a square
yard ofmacadam laid,.
Aid. Mrs. W. G. Poster, also called on, said she much 'enjoyed hearing vleWs expressod as to the defects
of thf past council year, and Only
wished that more citizens had exorcised the privilege of being present
at fr\e council sessions, and lending
support. Quite a number of the
council, she said, f.ivoi'ed having ;
town manager, as .') move fpr Qffi
cloncy. She believed lhat would he
a good departure; ,and would save
tile city money through better co-
relation of ihe work. With reference to tho questions exchanged by
Messrs. P. hick wood and Jones*. she
suggested that the issue before ihe
city the coming year might be whether rfjplsou should be a tourist con-
.ter first and an industrial center
second. The cl*y might inquire f
contentious mayor ,to fight at Vic
toria for the  Ymir road. *>
Aid. McHardy, "Mayor McDonald
ami Aid. Foster all were applauded.
T. 8.. King said Nelson hod im
proved materially In the five years
he had been a resident, and the district immediately adjacent had secured many desirable residents from
outside. If the city could continue
its progress 'it was probable that
the surrounding residential district would also continue to develop.
Aid. C. H. Bean thought the proposal a. ktep in the right direction,
Usually tickets had be-eft filled at the
last .mhiute,. with candidates whose
election "followed If they were popular enough. Street construction,
he added, depended on how much
m_ney the citizens wero willing to

ously to the Prohibition and Moderation parties being asked to send

tions.

though .holding that a ratepayers'
association was the idQal body to
make tho nominations.

to their number 10 ejectors not as-'
soclated with any of the* organizations. -

the board of trade was debarred by
its constitution from participating
in the proposed proceeding.

present one, at which every church,
and lodge, as well as publlo or setf*-,!-
public organization was already, represented.

It.   D.  Barnes. -.
Straw   Vote   By   Ballot-Box
A brand new proposal was put
forward by Mr. Annable, who suggested taking a straw vote of 'the
people, on some specified after-
boon, employing a returning officer and ballot-box, with every person  on  the voters list participating.
Mr. Bunyan—All that will not be
necessary if we have. the public
•meeting.
Chairman Scanlan ' suggested' a
committee to devise a scheme for
the selection of candidates, this
eon^mittee to report to ** a public

for the Bunyan'" plan' of a 'fm-KHc
meeting, while 10 fayo^ed tho plan
of a. committee of delegates, reinforced 'by 10 appointees . of the
present meeting. Tho vote was taken after a numbor had  left.
After the 10 had been appointed,
