Tlie charge that a great volume of  ���water is ..waste..* every tl iy in Nelson is  probably correct, and for future protection this waste should be stopped a  once. The' mains are considered.large  enough lo supply "the domestic  uses of a city of 20,000 population, but  there are great demands made upon  the supply for water motors, so many  of which are in constant use. If more  care is not exercised ii* the use of the  water, il is feared that the motor service will have to be cut ofi* entirely or  greatly restricted in i!s operation.  It would be a serious matter if  the water supply should fall short,  especially in weather like;this when  the city is more or less exposed to fire.  The Tribune states that the editor of  The Economist "changed a -five-  dollar bi]l for the editor of tlio Tribune"  last week."' This is just about as near  as.the Tribune ever gets to the truth.  "���ilie editor of Thk Economist did not  change a five-dollar bill for the editor  of the Tribune, but'he did change a  live-dollar gold piece* for that gentleman, said gold'piece, after careful investigation being found to be genuine.  ���The question naturally arises, how did  the editor ol tlio Tribune come by that  American five-dollar gold piece?, "Tlie  "fact that it was American money gives  rise to lite suspicion that .Jim* Ilill.is  figuring on securing the support of the  Tribune. - '   -  Lewis Etzel, the war correspondent  who was killed on a junk by some  Chinese soldiers, was well-known in  the city of-Victoria. He was one of  tbe crack seal hunters, and for several  successive seasons.was employed by E.  B. Marvin & Co. He was a great  marksman, and always made big  money. After leaving Victoria he  went to China, aud driftcd-into newspaper work. At the lime of his death  he was acting-as war correspondent for  the London Daily Telegraph.

A correspondent'writes this paper  criticizing rather severely tlieact ofthe  committee in charging 7-3 cents  admission to the recreation grounds on  the first day of the celebration.

One of the best musicians in  the city, and who has been here during thirteen successive celebrations,  has stated that he 'never r< members an  occasion when the music supplied was.  of the satisfactory character, that it was  last week. This should encourage, the  band, and undoubtedly the members  are entitled to all-the praise that can  be bestowed upon them. The" Nelson  City Band is .composed exclusively of  local musicians, and as long as they receive due encouragement, the -city can  depend .upon a permanent musical organization, not a collection of men  who may be here to-day and away tomorrow.

The prize list for tho Nelson Pair,  which is to be held September 28 and  2D, has just been issued. It is in pamphlet form, and contains a full list of  the prizes to be given and the articles  for which the prizes are to be awarded.  A careful perusal of the list shows that  the matter has been well thought out,  and as might.naturally be expected,  while the list covers a great deal of  ground, the principal prizes are given  with the hope of stimulating tlie development of Koptcnay's staple industries. Au interesting feature of the  pamphlet is a department giving  "Hints to Fruit Growers" starting  with   the   requisite  preparations  for  Grand Forks will hold a street carnival'on "August 24,-25, 20 and 27, and the  secretary, Peter Donaldson, writes this  paper that the committee is soliciting  candidates from the surrounding towns  to compete, in the contest for queen of  the carnival. The queen will be  elected by popular vote, a practice  scarcely in accord with the selection  of a monarch. All names must be endorsed by the secretary of some society,  lodge or club, and should be sent in to  the directors of the carnival at Grand  Forks at once.  According to a recent cablegram,  London lias been flooded during the  week with highly colored reports of  marvellous euros .effected by William  Hap, a Scotch miner living at Balau-  tyrc, a littlo village near Glasgow,  Special correspondents have written  columns telling how the halt was cured  and the deformed made straight by au  old man < whose medical knowledge was  limited to a few notions of anatomy  obtained by a cursory study of a hand'  book. Some of them went so far as to  suggest that Rae's power was superhuman.- His cottage, it is said, presented a remarkable sinht daily.  Crowds of people, some on crutches,  others hobbling along with walking  sticks but all full of hope of being cured  besieged the 'former miner, who, it was  added, was devoting twelve hours a  day.to treating his patients. One instance of Rae's methods was given by  a highly veracious correspondent as  follows: ���' The patient was a little boy  who could not walk here.���.. Said Hae:  'This isa caseof dislocated hip. The  doctors call it a djsease, but it is not.:  He made the little boy lie down, then  suddenly seizing the limb he gave it a  jerk. There was a sharp crack, a  sharper cry from the boy, and before  the latter's mother, who was present,  could recover from her astonishment,  her child was walking about the room  delightedly waving his discarded patent weighted boot in the air.". Another  case termed typical was described as  follows : "It was that ofagirl who  was a hunchback. In this instance  the mother was not permitted to be  with her child, but in a quarter of an  hour the child came out of the cottage  ' straight as a die,' and sobbed out her  happincss-oii her mother's shoulder."  There Were dozens of stories such as  this detailed at' length in the Daily  Mail, the Daily Chronicle,, the Daily  Express and 'several other London  newspapers. Photographs of Ilae have  beeu published showing him to be a  somewhat uncouth looking man, with  a badly 'trimmed beard and heavy  features. His feeuever varies. To all  alike he charges halt a guinea. From  every part of England and Scotland, if  one is to believe the accounts one reads,  It' J. Clark, principal of the Nelson  High School, is holding the teachers'  examinations' afcRossland. He will return to Nelson on Tuesday next.  people have traveled to seek Rite's assistance and pay their half guineas.  Still, Rae is not wealthy, although .it  appears he has been carrying on his  ''bloodless surgery "for years. His fame  indeed, is said to have travelled to  America, and a few days ago he received a.telegram asking on what terms  he would cross the Atlantic. Rae will  not be tempted.. "America at my  years? Nay, nay," the old man is declared to have said. By some of the  daily newspapers Rae's methods havo  been compared to those of Dr. Lorenz,  but by medical journals he is placed on  a lower level than that of Professor  Atkinson, of Liverpool. Rae's doctrine  appeurs to be that bono disease is an invention of the doctors. To him conclusive proof of this is that neither he  nor any one else has ever seen a diseased bone in a living man. The secret of spinal curvature, hip disease and  every other condition causing a deformity or lameness is contained in the  single word " bluid" for Rae's Scotch  accent is one of his special charms.  "Where that's wrang," says this pathological oracle, "aw the rest's wrang."  The Cranbrook Herald says F. J.  Bradley, of Nelson, was in that cily  this week looking over the field with  the idea of opening a branch business  there.  The Revelstoke Herald is authority  for the statement that the lacrosse  team of that place will ������'.. sin&.ply  wipe the earth with the Nelson  boys when they go over there.  It is now almost seven years since  the firm of Patenaude Bros., jewellers  and opticians, first started business in  Nelson, and while the beginning was  exceedingly modest, to-day, it may  surprise many people to learn, the  firm is not second to any in British  Columbia as regards the manufacture  of jewellery. There is nothing in that  line that the firm  of Patenaude Bros.  are not prepared to uudcrt.'.kc, and the  excellence of lhe workmanship compares more than favorably with tlie  work turned out of any jewellery establishment in lhe Dominion of Canada. Iir'the "manufacturing department, machinery of the latest improved designs is used, and equally tis  desirable, only the highest skilled  workiiien.are engaged to run the machines. Tiiere is another department  in this firm's business that demands  special reference, and that is the optical  department. Mr. J. O. Patenaude has  acquired enviable fame throughout  British Columbia for his skill as an optician. He has devoted several years  to a special study of the eye and the  best method of correcting defective  eyesight, and in. this particular he  stands practically without an equal in  the west. So well and favorably  known is he as an optician that he has  customers not only in every town and  city in British Columbia, but also beyond the boundaries of the Province.  Mr. Patenaude has quite recently  added to his optical department several  new machiuess, so that he is now  able to cut, grind and drill lenses on  "the shortest; notice. After making a  thorough examination of the eye,  carefully noting the defects, he prepares from the rough material lenses  properly and- scientifically adapted to  the defect, and this work is done under his own personal supervision. It  is rather an interesting process,, too,  and'one well worthy a few bonis' observation. The: .different machines,  though small j cost considerable money.  A few days ago, Air. Patenaude  showed a representative of this paper  through this department, and gave a  practical illustration of-the method by  which lenses were cut and ground.  Taking a rough piece of glass, he  went through the whole process of  fitting it to the frame, and while it  took some time to acomplish the work,  the adjustment was absolutely perfect. So great are the demands made  upon Patenaude Bros' optical depart-  ment, these machines are,'constantly  in use. It is scarcely necessary to add  anything as'to the quality of goods  .cnrried^by^this^Jirm.^ Everyone, who  has made purchases at this establishment will tell you that the goods are  exactly what they are represented to  be. The firm has made a practice of  carrying only the best lines, and this  together with fair treatment of its customers, has won for Patenaude Bros,  the excellent reputation they hold today throughout British Columbia.  Auother survivor of the famous Light  Brigade, which, afc Balaklava, 070  strong, rode "into the jaws of death,  into the mouth of hell," Is reported  living in the city of Denver, Colo. His  name is Alexander Sutherland. He is  ninety-four years of age, but has expressed a desire to attend the St. Louis  fair, in response to an invitation received from the school children of that  city. As the bugler of the brigade,  Mr. Sutherland led the charge at the  command of Lord Cardigan, and was  one of the 198 heroes who returned  from the field of carnage.   ���  The New York Tribuno has been  studying the crop reports of the Canadian Northwest, and comments as  follows ou its observations : " Canada's  wheat crop this year promises to exceed that of 1903 by about 30,000,000  bushels. This is a big increase, and,  with noabatement likely in succeeding  years, it is easy to be seen what a formidable wheat-producing and exporting competitor the great Canadian  Northwest has become and is becoming. It could now, if need were, feed  the mother country all by itself, leav-  ing the Unite 1 States out ofthe qner-  tion, though it ls not likely lobe drawn  on to that exclusive extent. But tlie  territory stands for one of the greatest  grain-producing regions in I he story of  world, old or new, its edges hardly  scratched vet, and it will have its share  in determining the course of the empire and development'as the years and  centuries go on, till -its background of  production is old tis Egypt's and its  horn of abundance filled and emptied  with an equally continuing regularity."  Airs. George N. Barclay, eldest  daughter of Judge Cornwall, of Ashcroft Manor, d led. Friday of last week  from the effects of the poisonous bite  of a rattlesnake. Mrs. Barclay was in  the act of picking some flowers in the  garden on on Th ursday evening, whon  the snake struck her hand, and before  medical aid could be summoned, the  poison had entered the blood. The deceased becapie comatose shortly after  being bitten, and passed away without  regaining consciousness.  BOUNDARY MIKING NOTES.  The announcement that the North  Star Alining Company is making arrangements to liquidate comes as a  shock to the people of Cranbrook district. This fact will not militate in the  slightest degree against the reputation  of the country, says the Herald,'but  there is in the hearts "of all old timers a  feeling of love for the North Star. It  is the mine that has drawn the attention of thousands to the possibilities of  South East Kootenay. For years it  has been a dividend payer and when  anyone referred: to the district, the  statement of its mineral wealth was  always backed up by reference to the  well known North Star mine. It is  not exaggeration in the slightest degree when one says that the North  Star mine was. the best advertisement  that the district had. In the early  days, when there was littlo to talk  about, little to brag of, this mine was  the one that was always used to clinch  any argument about the mineral resources of the country. Another fea-*  ture that-added to the prestige" ofthe  property was the fact that it was always  operated upon business principles.  Any account with the North Star was  as good as tsventy dollar gold pieces.  When the financial agent, Air. Neil  AIcLeod Curran, made a contract,  whether it was for one dollar or $10,-  000, no one stopped to question, no one  hesitated, because the reputation of the  company was always above par. And  this fact, at a time when everything  was new and problematical in the  country, was a most potent factor in  creating aud maintaining confidence  iu tbe country and its future possibilities. For the past year development  work was carried on under the direction of Air. J. L. Parker, the superintendent, J n hopes that new ore bodies  might be discovered, but without any  satisfactory results. This spring, with  the desire of ascertaining the absolute  condition of the mine, Air. S. S. Fowler, mining engineer, was asked to  make a thorough examination, wtiich  he did, and on the strength of the report issued by him, the directors have  decided to go into liquidation.  riioei'ls: 1'loncer.  Returns of SI00 per ton are rc| op.c-d to  have been received from the trial shipment of ore from the Bay claim..  The last payment on the Gold Bug,  adjoining the Defiance is clue July 1-1,  after which active development is to  be resumed on this well known high  grade claim.  The new converter plant at the  Greenwood smelter, which began  operations last week, is working only  at night lime, and is giving the best of  satisfaction to the B. C. Copper Co.  It is said that the Providence mine  has $200,000 worth of rich ore iu sight,  a bank balance of ��15,000, and over  ��20,000 in ore in transit. Another  dividend is due, making��11,000paid in  this way.  The Helen which was bonded by  Alex Miller on behalf of N. H. Galer  and San Franeisco men, continues to  show up remarkably well under the  direction of .W. H. Jeffrey, AI. E.,  and inside of a month is expected to  be a steady shipper.  O. B. Tmith, Jr., who bas been resident engineer at" the Granby mines  for over five years, has been appointed  mine superintendent by Air. Hodges,  the general superintendent ofthe company. Air. Smith, who isa graduate  of the mining department of the Alas-  sachusetts Institute of Technology, of  Boston-, will have immediate charge of  the extensive mining operations.  LastThursday morning five furnaces  were blown out at the Granby smelter  for the annual clearing up at the smelter works, June 30th, being the close of  the fiscal year with the Granby Co.  During that day these five furnaces  were cleaned up, flue dust, chambers,  etc., and the hole put through the  sixth furnace when it was blown out  the same evening. Early next week  four furnaces will be blown in again  and the_pther two a few days later, after  some repairing is done.

Lord Dundonald entered a piolest, which he knew  would mean retirement, against abuse of the militia  ,_as part of the machine ; Mr.*J. I,. MoDougall, auditor-  general, asks leave to retire because the attacks of  Liberals on the Treasury are too frequent and formidable for ' au old man's resistance ; Capt. Bernier  complains that his crew for the steamer Gauss for  Arctic exploration, was picked for him, and that only  four are sailors, the rest look on the trip as a political  picnic.  Evidently the "party of purity" has changed but  little since Mr. Mackenzie's plaintive confession that  he was too busy defending the Treasury to do anything else, " friends were asking for positions for  " which they were uot qualified, asking concessions to  which they knew the)* were not entitled."  If Canadians are not prepared to accept the spoils  system entirely with its inevitable mismanagement  and corruption, it is time now to clean out the den  of thieves. The witnesses to their dishonesty are certainly not open to any charge of partisanship.  Is there,nothing left of Liberal principle or creed ?  Tot eighteen years the Liberals shrieked that duties  trere paid by the consumer and abolition of duties was  the sure and only pith to prosperity. Now after  eight yeatsof "'forgetting it" (vide Hon. J. R. Stratton) Mr< Fielding announces a commission lo investigate the whole question of tariffs, to see. in short.  whether or not there is auy truth in what they have  sworn so often. It may be, however, that the real  purpose ofthe commission is to give employment to  ��� land-lubbers" that Capt. Bernier wouldn't have on  his steamer.  ir;- ���  The addresses delivered  by Premier McBride and  Hon.     Robert      F.     Green   daring    their    recent  trip     throughout    the     interior,     are'    favorably  commented upon by the people at the various  points  ���visited.    They have told the people  of the liinita-  _rUousof.the_Government_in_the matter_ofjexpenditure_;_  and the ministers have been  able to  see lor themselves what is "most urgently required in the best interests of the country.    Iu  discussing departmental  matters the ministers have been frank and above-board  aud as a result they have made a splendid impression  .with the deputations the3r reveived everywhere in the  i-hiterior.    At   many   places   Messrs.   McBride   and  .Greeu were tendered banquets by the local Conservative associations, and occasion was taken to  outline  the   policy of   the   Government.    At   Kaslo, their  friends met to the number of about one hundred, and  the Premier and  the  Commissioner   of Lands   and  Works discussed at length the  policy which  the McBride Government will pursue towards the  Province  generally and the  interior in   particular.    At a banquet tendered the ministers at  Fernie. Mr.   McBride  told of the deplorable condition of the finances of the  province wheu his government assumed office.    His  government had faced the  situation   manfully and  though the increased taxation aiid practical economy  which necessarily followed were naturally unpopular,  he   was glad to state the credit of the province had  been saved and confidence to a very large extent had  been restored.     This was evidenced by the increased  activity which obtains in the whole of the   Proviuce  and especially in the mining regions of the Kootenays.  Care had been taken to so arrange the taxation   that  the greatest fell upon thoseiadst able to bear.it.    He  believed that the   time would soon come   when the  finances of the province would admit of the"government  re-adjusting those  measures and  reducing to  some extent the taxation on  the various- industries  affected. Touching on railway legislation, be said that  at the present moment bis government had under con  sideration a scheme for the construction of the Coast-  Kootenay railway and he had r.o hesitation in saying tbat when parliament met next they would have  in addition three or four genuine railway propositions  to deal with, one of which would be Ibe Koolenay-  Central railway, which Mr. Ross had go  persistently advocited at lhe kst sesseosi.  Mr, Grusti spoke briefly, bat what be did any was  to tl.e point, aud convinced those present tbat the af-  hits of the departissnt over v.Lick he presides are  bthigact&liir-stCTed in the interests of the public. The:  reception j;'-ve*.i to the ministers in many other places  were equally ns flattering as the Fernie banquet,  and Messrs. McBride and Green have good reason to  congratulate themselves on the success attending  their visit.  It now looks as if Jim Kill had really secured a  controlling interest in the Granby smelter.  /   Fruit trees to the number of 250,000 have be:ii  shipped to Vancouver, B.

When Mr. Justice Martin returns to Victoria, he  will scarcely recognize the Supreme Court bench. A  3*ear or so ago, Chief Justice Hunter cast aside the  wig, and now it is reported from the Provincial capital, that Mr. Justice Duff took his seat on the Supreme Court bench Tuesday morning without a wig,  and that all the lawyers followed his example. There  is an impression abroad that Mr. Justice Duff car. deliver just as good a brand of justice without a wig as  with it.  After inauy and long-continued' complaints from  the Yukon about the Treadgold concession, including  charges of corruption against the government, Mr.  Justice Britton of the Supreme Court of Ontario was  sent to investigate. Quite recently Senator Scott,  government leader in the Senate, in reply to a question from:Sir Mackenzie Bowell, stated that the concession has been withdrawn, but that Mr. Justice  Britton has beeu instructed not to report ! Iu other  words, stealing will be stopped in this respect, but the  detected thieves are not to be punished, not even to be  exposed, which is hardly considered punishment by  a Liberal.  An unattached clergyman ofSouthwark, Eng., was  charged at the local Police Court with damaging  some glasses and-36 bottles of ginger beer which were  offered for sale on Sunday immediately outside of St  George's church, Borough. Defendant explained  that he acted as be did as a protest against Sunday  trading outside that church. The magistrate imposed  a fine of 6s. 6d. and costs, and the defendant elected  to go to prison as a further protest "against Sunday  trading. The defendant was formerly proceeded  against for threatening to blow up a stand which had  been erected on consecrated ground in the Borough  _at_the_Cor_ona_tion.          .._  '   Calculating that the consumption of tobacco is  about 40,000 tons a year in the United Kingdom, it  is estimated that above 8,coo tons of ash are annually  committed to the winds or dissipated iu someway or  other. Remembering that a ton of tobacco leaf would  3'ield 4 cwt. of ash, which represents valuable mineral  constituents withdrawn from the soil which have to  be replaced by abundant manuring, the Lancet points  out that there would seem to be a fortune in store for  the individual who could devise a successful means  for the collection of tobacco ash to be restored to the  soil from which it was taken. Ash ought to be a  valliable asset in the economy of things.  It is rather strange that during recent years so  many clergymen have abandoned the pulpit and  turned their attention to other avocations. It might  be regarded as still more remarkable that the ranks  of insurance agents are receiving recruits from the  church. A year or so ago, Rev. Burtt Morgan, the  well-known Baptist preacher-, gave, up preaching  and became an agent for a life insurance company,-and now it is reported from Victoria that Rev.  Dr. Elliott S. Rowe, who recently resigned the pastorale of the Metropolitan Methodist.Church, of that  city, hns accepted the position of manager for British  Columbia of ehe Sovereign Life of Canada. It has not  generally been believed that the special training required for a successful insurance agent could be obtained in the pulpit, yet it is a fact that the insurance  companies are anxious to secure clergj'men for their  work.  !

We. hesitate to repeat the word  " lied," out of regard for the Globe's  sensitiveness���for which, by the way,  we were not prepared���but we confess  that it seems to us to be a good plain  English word and under certain cir-,  cumstances can be used with distinct  Victoria Colonist.  The   nature  of  Lord   Dundonald's  crime is euphemistically described in  the  Liberal press ks" a conflict .with  authority."'   The government at Ottawa is the Authority.    Tbe.Authority  made it so disagreeable for Dundonald  so   elisagreeable   ar.d humiliating,  in  fact, that he was provoked to a conflict  with the Authority.   Conflict with the  Authority is unconstitutional   and a  breach of military discipline.    Ergo,  Authority was right and Dundonald  was Avrong.    So the Authority fired  him.     Thus we see how with a wise  and enlightened Authority at Ottawa,  new principles'of jurisprudence are being evolved even at this late date in  the world's history.  R  F! PES.
