Mr. Carnegie has issued through the Peace Society, of which organisation he is president, a statement outlining what he considers to be the most practicable step for the limitation of naval expari- sion in the interests of the world's peace. Mr. Carnegie suggests that Great Britain and tne United States should agree, the latter to defend the British possessions ih the Atlantic, including the islands in the south, and the latter to protect the American coast on the Pacific, including Hawaii and the Philippines. The agreement would terminate at the ond of five years upon notice being given by either party. Salmon Arm, B.C., May 7- Bush fires are doing immense damage in this district. Several houses at Mara have been destroyed. The Columbia river saw mill and stock of lumber were burned, The wires are interrupted and definite news is unobtainable. Stratford, Ont, May 7-Frank Roghmond, a negro, has been sentenced to hang for the murdei of Mrs. Mary Peake. Sturgeon Falls, Ont., May7~-It i-S reported that Chicago capital- The possibility of a coastwise lumber trade developing between British Columbia and California is suggested by the unusual charter of the American barquentine James Johnson. Upon arriving at Port Townsenrl recently from Callao, Peru, captain carl Jensen of the James Johnson received an order to proceed to Milltown, B.C., to load a cargo of lumber for San Francisco or San Pedro. The introduction of British Columbia into a trade that has for years been held by Puget Sound, Gray's Harbor and Oregon ports, is deemed possible in the charter of the barquentine. In shipping circles the cnarter is known as a foreign coastwise voyage, and as far as the freighting of lumber is concerned, this arrangement establishes a precedent, according to the oldest local shipping authorities. Under the present tariff restrictions the sale of British Columbia lumber in California is apparently impracticable, as an entry duty of $2 a thousand is imposed. With the poor demand for lumber and the low prices, news of this charter was received with much surprise in shipping circles. Considering the amount of work that an assayer would have had in 'the last two seasons it has been a matter of surprise that no assayer should have located in this district before now. At present it is the custom to send samples to the coast and have returns wired back, bringing the expense up to a point greater than would be the high prices an assayer would have to charge. Returns are rarely received in less than two weeks and in some cases much longer. The passenger and freight tar- riff of the Hudson's Bay Co.'s river service have been received at the local office and show a few changes from the published rates of last year. The passenger rate down the river has been increased by $7.50, making it the same as that up river, $17.50. Freight lates continue the same with the exception of the 20 per cent rebate allowed to shippers of 15 tons or over, which has been discontinued. Another freight class has been added, which includes gunpowder and high explosives, ���taW-tiff a rate of $75 ner ton The extensive alterations to the Omineca Hotel which have been going on during the last few weeks are now completed. The hotel has been enlarged by the addition of fifteen rooms, a commercial sample room, barber snop and bath room supplied with hot and cold water, etc. Everything is arranged in a strictly up-to-date manner, and every provision made for the comfort of guests. Numerous alterations and improvements have been made in the New Telkwa Hotel at Telkwa. The dining room has been enlarged, another sitting room and a bath room added, and the building renovated throughout. The hotel is under the management of L. Mulvany, which is ample assurance that the traveler's stay shall be attended with much comfort and pleasure. Things You cannot Do, You can't stand for five minutes without moving if you are blindfolded. You can't stand at the side of a room with both your feet lengthwise touching the wainscoting. You can't get out of a chair without bending your body forward, or putting your feet under it; that is, if you are sitting squarely on the chair, and not on the edge of it. You can't break a match if the match is laid across the nail of the middle finger of either hand, and passed under the first and third fiingcrs of that hand, despit of its seeming so easy at first sight. Ske<&a Philosophy. We may not give a man credit for much, who believes in nothing', but we can be charitable enough to give .him credit for living up to what he believes in. Exchanging the word 'want' for the word 'need' has done more to make me a rich man than all my labor. What I at one time thought, was the greatest punishment for me to learn, has proved to be my greatest blessing and the foundation of the small measure of success I have met with, and that is ��� 'work^' Wilt thou know the ways of the world ? Then go thou out from thy kjndred and thy father's house, and be thou alone amongst strangers, and verily thou shalt know. But beware lest thou comest to believe that selfishness is the motive power of all action. Nothing but liying out your convictions will ever qualify you for teaching them. You may be proud, be rich, be tall, but after all, in moral stature very small. I am no occulist, yet I declare you to be color blind in your moral vision if you call any kind of a lie a white lie. Sarcasm and wit are twins, and so much alike that at times even the parents cannot tell which is which. It is too bad that your neighbor doesn't come up to your standard, and your neighbor's neighbor doesn't come up to his. The grasping meanness of the wise may have something to do with the proverbial parting of the proverbial'parting of the fool and his money.' Querentibus. In Italy time is reckoned on the twenty-four hour system. Thus, 3 o'clock in the afternoon is there designated as 15 o'clock. Midnight is 24 o'clock. The good sense of this plan should commend its use by all enlightened nations. ���Ex, Herald Job Printing ia the best. The OMINECA HOTEL HAZELTON, B.C.

He pointed in consternation at a newspaper, full of facts and figures about the naval forces of England and other great powers, and added: "I mean this building of Dreadnoughts." "No one can blame the government," said the youth, as though he were willing to let them off easily, "for doing its duty and making our navy, for defensive purposes, the most effective in the world." "Who's blaming the government?" said the other. "Certainly, not I. On the contrary, no expense of money and energy seems to me too great for, our security. All I ask iS: What will happen and how will it all end?" "I am not a prophet," said the yduth, in a discouraging manner. But the elder man had rested his head on the back of a comfortable chair, and was now beginning to see visions. "I can picture the seas of the future, "he went on, "alive with multi- tndes of Dreadnoughts, circling from end to end, the entire coast of the British Isles. "On these vessels I see an army of sailors. On land I see another army of of men, building more Dreadnoughts. I see also a vaster army of soldiers, Territorial and Regular. "We are about the year 1960: roughly, half a century from today. The other nations with coast lines have been building and building at the same rate. The bristling Dreadnoughts throng the seas. We have invented, on both sides, means of turning them out much more expeditiously, if not more cheaply, than we can manage now. If the truth were known, they do not want, on one side or the other, to turn out any more. But each country is compelled to do so, because if it does not, another country does. So on they go, thronging the seas, filling the ships, recruiting the soldiers. The nations are armed to the teeth and ready. "Ready for what ? For the long-expected explosion, for the long pent-up fury, for war ! But, in my vision war has, as yet, not come. What has prevented it ? Simply the amazing preparations of the rival powers. Each has grasped and acceded to the maxim : 'If you wish for peace prepare for war,' and each has prepared with such effect that peace has nrver been disturbed. Nb,body.dare disturb it! The thought ,o,f the clash of these innumerable Dread-* ���nouglits is too ter-riblo, the fear of the unheard-of armies grappling far too great. So they all stand silently watching one another behind impenetrable, ironclad walls. ���* . , .*.. . *;.. "That is my vision oi the armed tranquility of the future. They make a World or armaments and call it peace. But it is inavitable. While rivalries last and competition endureB this must be. three cheers for the navy of 1960 !" . The youth offered some consolation. 'The navy of the future," he said, 'will not be St&hdittg altogether useless. In time Ettl'Opb Will compose its tlifferences, and silence its suspicions of itself. It will be one and indivisible. Then, with a common conscience, it will ..." "I know What you are going to say," interrupted the other. "You are going to say that it will turn swords into plowshares���or whatever the quotation is��� and the Dreadnoughts into dancing saloons." "Not at all," said the youth, who did not believe in the perfectibility of the human race. "Not at all. I was going to say that Europe, with a common conscience and many ironclads, will then be able to meet the Yellow Peril at last. Go on with the building of Dreadnoughts ! We shall want them for our European navy of 19(50."��� London Daily Mirror. Extensive Building in the West. It is estimated that thirty million dollars worth of new buildings will be erected in ten cities in Western Canada during* the present season, says a Winnipeg report. The twin cities at the head of the lakes are expected to share in this amount to the extent of six millions. Winnipeg's share will run between ten and twelve millions, and the remainder will be distributed between Brandon, Regina, Moosejaw, Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria and Vancouver. In a Northumberland coast village chapel recently the preacher referred to Christ's fishermen disciples as "rough, ignorant, uncouth types of men," "Hey, stop that, mister," dramatically interrupted a fisherman worshipper. "Don' t talk that way about fishermen," continued the interrupter, who went on to loudly declare that they were as good as those in any other walk of life. Congregation and preacher were gregation and preacher were alike so surprised at the incident that the man delivered his protest unchecked. The nastor afterwards resumed his sermon.
