The flume is carried for the gt eater part of ils length along the hank of the. river and is considerably exposed at the upper end. A portion of it as origin.'illy constructed has been carried away and there will always he some danger from this sotnee. - I think the iluine would have been better if built as an open flume with just sufficient full to carry the water witli tin; drop entirely nt the lower end or, if a pressure flume, of stove pipe (landed with iron. The durability of tlie dam should be 20 to 25 years and of lhe pipes and Hume aliout 12 years. The building with care and necessary repairs should lie good for 2. to 30 years and the casings and wheels at least that time. The electrical work generally will average about 1.. years. The power is undoubtedly good hut the expense of keeping up the abutments and flume will always be considerable aud detracts from' the value of the works. Ihe cross ties (iron rods) in the flume check the flow a good deal "not on account of their size but from the eddies they cause which obstruct the flow and consequently reduce the pressure. The machinery is good and should give satisfaction. Some stoppages have been caused, I am informed, in severe weather by anchor ice and in 11 rapidly flowing stream will:always be liable tn oceui. This ���������'anchor ice" or "frasil" as it is sometimes called forms in the bed of the stream in open running water in extreme cold weather and being of the samu specific gravity us the water will not like ordinary ice rise to tho surface bub floats at all depths nnd adheres to the racks and wheels, sometimes if in sr.fllr.ient quantity, shutting off the How of tho water.

These benches are also good clay land, no rook or giavel showing on the surface. The surface of both bottom and bench hind is very level and uniforiii: small tedar, spruce, and balsnnt timber and considerable binh in the bottoms; cedar, spi uce and hemlock on the benches and mountains ���������all small timber and of no commercial value. The vegetation indicates considerable rainfall throughout this valley, and I do not think h Ligation will be required; but if so, theie in abundance of water for this purpose iu tiie creeks flowing through the valley. I am informed by trappers who have wintered here thai the snow- is from three to four feet in depth, and the timber and hushev indicate a considerable .snowfall. The altitude is about 1.S30 feet above sea level. The general formation is granite. ' From the month of Canoe River to Grews Rapids, a distance of 22 miles in a tun th-westerly couise, the valley will average about one h-tlf-inile iu width, ft has good clay soil, with a gravelly sub-soil; small cedar and spi uce timber and considerable bush. The river is from 400 to 1000 feet in width, wilh an average current of about five miles per hour. The banks are from C to 15 feet high, showing ���������_ good clean clay soil. Near Grews Rapids the valley widens out from one to two miles wide, and continues the same north-westerly course to Tele 'Jaime Cache, on the Fiaser River. It has heen uin.over with fire, and the timber aud hush iu the valley, as wellas upon the mountains, are a young growth. . Fiom ���������ribout Grews Rapids we left the wet belt and eutered a drier country. We | did not see moss upon the ground and I Umber as we did below ��������� and on the Columbia River. The soil is u, blue clay five to- fifteen feet deep, with a gravelly sub-soil, covered in many places with one. to two feet of black vegetable muck; small cedar, cotton- wood,' spruce, and hazel* bushes in patches and clumps; good meadows froui.ten lo two hundred acres scattered throughout the valley. The soil nud climate is very -much superior to that at the month" of the river. The snow and rainfall is also less. The river is from 100 to 100 feet in ividr.li, very crooked, and has an average current of about two miles per hour: hanks from six to fifteen feel high. I am informed hy Afes-a-s. ISInc-kiunre and Jackson, who spent, the last two winters in this valley, that the snow- was not over fifteen inches deep at any time, and the winters vii v mild. The timber and beaver cuttings indic.ite a very light snowfall. * I did not see any beaver cutlinsrs over twelve ���������to eighteen inches above the ground. 1 am also . informed that the spring weather opens from a. month to six weeks earlier here than at lhe- mouth of the river. The mountains generally comedown with low foothills and benches, and in many places these benches* along the base ol the mountains aie eood soil and could be cultivated; good feed for sttiek-^iu^the^i.iottojiis^-Hnd^Jbejitdies. Bear nnd cariboo arc veiy plentiful along the river. We found numerous Indian camps along the river, nresumably left, by Crees. who may have come in from the Northwest by way of Jasper House. At about S. iniles below Grews Rapids (about 51 miles by river) the river takes asouth westerly course for about four miles to the font of the canyon, at the head of navigation for boats, but the valley continues lhe same north-westerly course for about 20 miles to Tele .home Cache on the Frasei* River, and is from two to four mile- iu width; ili-st-dns.-. soil,, with small Cottonwood, willow, alder, and ha'/.i-l bush; also some small pines* and hemlock timber'. , The mountains, on ench side'are low, of a granite formation, and come down with foothills and benches.

" lV- ��������� If irrigation should he required there is abundance of water for thai purpose in the creek-j running through the valley every few miles, and the water could be brought upon tlie land with very little expense. Koine of the larger creeks come out of laree vallevs, The altitude is about 2,21)0 feet ahdve sea level. ' I estimate llio (list-mice from Rev.-l- stnki; lo Trail Cro-sing at, nlioiit 174 mile-, by water und alxiui. loO miles bv a wagon road route. At this point t'.e bushes and timber also indicate a light snowfall, and I am infonued by Mr. Joseph Null, of South Tboini>--mi River, who was with .**, C.P.R. survey parly through this countrv .-is Ii packer in 187-175. that they wintered their stock here and never had over eight to ten inches of snow. I think the climate is very similar to that around Kamloops. judging from the general appeiirance of the country. The Hrst frost of this season occuned nn the. night of September 18th. and previous to this there had heen aliout two weeks' rain. There was wet weather at Kamloops corresponding with this and frost about the same date. We lett Trail Crossing on the morning of September 20th, arriving at Revelstoke on the evening of September 27th. We ivtre 14i days goins; up from Revelsloke to "tbe mouth of Canoe River, and Hi days from the ROAD | r;;.; I think the trip could bp made in 15* to 20 days ,".t a favoiiible stage of the river.

Neither' Canoe River nor Wood River is' navigable for steamer.-.*, but a wagon* road could be built through tlie C.inoe River valley veiy cheaply, and this*, seems to ine'the most feasible way of bringing this beautiful valley within the reach of seniors; or the trail up' tbe Columbia River, whicli ends- at* Smith Creek, could be continued* up to; the mouth of Canoe River, about 27- mile-* and widened for a waijou road if required. 1 would place the acreage of good agricultural land *as follows,, vi/..-.��������� acres.

The majority excuses the payment of two dollars per pound for food that the seller himself valued at thirty cents by saying that the food was a trade secret. It condemns no one but Mr. Monk, who made the charges. It is however satisfactory to know that there is still another and a higher tribunal before which the charges of defrauding the Canadian soldiers and the Canadian taxpayers will have to be tried. The great parliament of the peoplo will have something to sayi about the "political provisions" when they become aware of the whole story and it may safely, he said that when the propor time comes, the samo people will mark their disapprobation of the whole job in a manner which cannot admit of doubt. Even Mr. Oliver, M.P., who only a few days ago told a crowd of Ontario Patrons what advantages had accrued to the farmers of Canada since the accession of the Liberal government, found the "emergency food" too strong for his stomach and cast his vote in the house against the adoption of the truth-suppressing, fact-distorting report submitted by tlie hired men who worked so hard to get the minister of militia out of an awkward hole. BLACK EYE FOR CANADA DISGRACED BY HER "POETS" London Chronicle Wades into the Treasury of Canadian Verse���������Too Many Verses, too Little Poetry OUR MORMON CITIZENS A LINE TO THE BOUNDARY The position which Cardston occupies about 150 miles nearly south of Calgary (on the line which the C. & E. railway company must in the near future build to the boundary or lose its charter) is one which our board of trade would do well to consider. A large tract of country, between forty and fifty miles from any railway, has been brought to a high state of cultivation by an industrious and thrifty people. The Mormon colony whicli at the present time numbers over 3000 people, is increasing very rapidly and the quantity of goods required to supply the wants of such a community is very good indeed. At present these goods are nearly all freighted in from Lethbridge, a distance o������ fifty miles and it is by no means an uncommon sight to see from thirty to forty four horse teams laden with goods come into ' Cardston in one string. The goods come direct from eastern wholesalers, but with a direct road to Calgary or other town where the merchants do a jobbing trade, a profitable business might be worked up. Neither Macleod nor Lethbridge has secured very much of this trade as yet nor will any other point till direct railway communication is established. Last year enterprising Cardston citizens erected a large roller flour mill, and a woollen factory and a sugar beet factory are in contemplation. About thirty miles beyond Cardston is a mining camp which at the ~^present~time~is~attracting���������'a���������great- deal of atention and although this camp is within the American lines, the miners draw their supplies from this side of the line. It is said it is an impossibility for an American line to build into this country without coming into Canadian teritory. Here, then, is a business that is well worth looking after: if Calgary bestirs herself a portion of this trade might be brought here. Dominion Day Celebration ston. at Card- "A Treasury of Canadian Verse" with Brief Biographical Notes. : Selected and edited by Theodore H. Rand, D.C.L. (London; J. M. Dent & Co. 6s.) Colonial poetry is beginning to make clamorous demands upon the critic's attention. We have already had a voluminous anthology of Australian verse���������containing much indeed that is- excellent���������and here is a book, almost equal ia bulk, which presents itself as the first collection1 ever attempted of the poetry of Canada. The collection has evidently been made with much enthusiasm and industry on the part of the editor; the biograhical notes are concise and helpful, and the book is put forth handsomely and with dignity. In short, it is altogether a self-respecting attempt towards an interesting and attractive task. From these external adornments we turn with expectation to the poetry itself; and the reader's first impression is one of surprise at the enormous number of poets represented. It is probable that the general reader knows very little indeed about Canadian literature; but even the expert student of poetry will be astonished to find that no fewer than 135 writers of verse have contributed to this well-filled Treasury. Oue hundred and thirty five Canadian poets! and of these not mors than eight are', we believe, known even by names in this country. Eight names are, indeed, familiar; but of these only three are .known primarily as poets. Professor Goldwin Smith, C. J. Romanes, and Grant Allen have, indeed, like most other men of letters, written occasional verse as a parergon; but their serious work was done in widely different fields. Mr. Gilbert Parker and Miss Sara Jeanette Duncan are popular novelists who have sowed their wild oats in the furrows of poetry; but it would be a, false compliment to pretend that the harvest is at all considerable. Mr,- Bliss. Carman, "Mr. Charles G. D. Roberts and Miss Pauline Johnson are the three Canadian poets already known to this country, and their work is very similar in range and quality. The range, it is true, is not wide, nor the quality very high, but both range and quality have a certain clear, the pad'dle of a canoe. They havo, in frosty atmosphere and dim effect, as of the sound of rippling water under short a soft Canadian spirit, unfamiliar and apparently true in tone and touch. The work of these three poets is much what we might expect Canadian verse to be, simple, unaffected, free, of the open air. It is not high poetry, but it has melody and color. It will, give easy pleasure to the cultivated ear. Editor Too Enthusiastic From these singers whose reputation is already made in England, the reader turns expectantly to thc remaining 127, not without some hopes of the enthusiasm of Dr-. Rand, the editor. Here, says he in the introduction, will he found inspiration from "the virgin freshness and promise of our country; the life and deeds ot men everywhere; the yearnings of the individual soul; and the aspirations of a people after the noblest and divinest." These are brave words. The editor of a Golden Treasury of one of the richest literatures of the world could scarcely make more inviting promises; one expects a great deal from such a prelude. Unfortunately, it must be confessed at once that Dr. Rand's very natural patriotism is far too enthusiastic. The 127 unknown poets are not a very distinguished band. They may, indeed, have been inspired "by all the stirring influences to which Dr. Rand ascribes their poetical fecundity; but the expression has hardly realized the inspiration. One opens the volume, for instance, in search of the celebration of "the virgin freshness and promise of the country"���������a very commendable theme for a Canadian���������and is met by Alexander McLachlan. describing an evening scene in the clearing: Yon cabins by the forest side ���������upposed to rhyme with "win a pure" are difficulties that clamor for a commentator. But here Is Mr. Chas. Heavysege appealing to his heart: Open, my heart, thy ruddy valves; It is thy master calls; Let me go down and curious trace Thy labyrinthine halls. Open, O heart, and let me view The secrets of thy den: . Myself unto, myself now show With introspective ken. Far Too Generous No, no; Dr. Rand's enthusiasm is too generous. These are not verses that should appear in any anthology, however wide the limits. Nol* are they otherwise than typical of the whole volume;. there is an astonishing lack of form and distinction in the entire body of Canadian verse, as it is here displayed. In the matter of metrical arrangement, could anything be less felicitous than the following, which is a complete contribution in two stanzas: The sweet Star of the Bethlehem night Beauteous guides and true. And still to me and you With only local, legendary light. V From us, who hither look with eyes afar From constellations of philosophy, All light is from the Cradle; the true star, Serene o'er distance, in the Life we .*��������� see. -��������� Here thc broken meter of the first verse is entirely readjusted in the second; so that the piece as a whole, presents a perfect jumble of irreconcilable sounds. And here, as so often in this collection, subjects of the deepest and most sacred spiritual import are treated so inarticulately that a sensitive reader is positively paiu- ed by the infelicity. Dr. Hand apologises for the omission of much which lack of space forced him to forego. We can only say, with regret, ttiat he has, in our judgment,, printed far too much, and that the result is' not altogether complimentary to llw rrcs ent condition of Canadian poe-.ry.��������� London Chronicle. HAILSTORMS. ger has from the bhginning ascribed the successful results from his machine to the effects of the vortex rings. In an official report of an expert from the Imperial institute, who was sent to investigate the ex- eriments made by Mr. Stiger in 1897, the following statement is made: "It was shown that by the discharge of a shot a vortex ring similar to the common smoke ring is produced and can be seen in reflected sunlight. The ring rises rapidly with a distinct whistling,which is audible at a great distance. Observations showed that this whistling could be heard for 15 seconds, and in calms for more than 20 seconds." A swallow .which was once struck by one of these vortex rings fell dead, such was its tremendous force. Mr. Stiger: estimates that the effectiveness of the shot and the shooting apparatus from the duration of the whisling of the vortex ring. Step by step the size of the mortar, the depth and breadth of the bore, the form and height of the: barrel, the weight of the powder, have been carefully determined by experiment, until a most effective combination has been attained. In some experiments, at which I was present I saw the vortex ring shoot upwards against the clouds like a shot from a gun barrel, and . distinctly heard tho whistling for 20 to 28 seconds. The astounding force of the vortex ring was best demonstrated by the horizontal shot. A series of peculiar targets were placed at distances of -40, 60, 80 and 100 meters. When tho vortex .ring struck the targats it threw down poles which were braced with heavy linen cloth, burst through paper targets in which the paper had a resistance of 2 kilograms, tore loose cl'amps,-,.broke one clamp which was 3 centimeters long and 11-5 centimeters broad. A large bulldog which was in tho way of the vortex ring was tumbled over twice and lost all desire for further observation*!. In this mechanical power of the vortex ring we have found the force which may possibly influence The process of hail formation. Unfortunately, as I have mentioned before, we know too little of the process of hail formation to be able to explain more clearly' the action of the vortex ring, which certainly exerts a considerable force to a height of from 1500 to 2000 meters.

This year a Herald representative had the privilege of spending Dominion day at Cardston, the business centre of the Mormon colony located on Lee's creek in Southern Alberta. The village itself has a population of about four or Ave hundred people, has three general stores, two hotels, a drug store, millinery establishment, printing oflice, harness shop, two blacksmith 6hops. barber shop, ice cream parlor, Chinese restaurant and a few other small shops. The colony however numbers about 2500 people, mostly from Utah, who have from their earliest infancy in their own country been celebrating the 4th of July, but being now settlers of the Dominion they celebrate the 1st instead. The writer has had the privilege of visiting most of the towns of the Territories and being present at-their holidays,but nowhere has he seen a place where such an entertainment was put up. In the first place just at daylight, the quiet of the town was awakened by boom! boom! as if the Chinese and Boers had united thlr forces and had begun to shell the town with their ordnance, but it was soon ascertained that" the noise proceeded from rival blacksmith shops, whose anvils had been loaded to usher in the day with a royal salute. From this hour forward the town seemed alive and by 8 or 9 o'clock the streets were crowded with the country people who had brought their families to assist in the celebration. Soon a procession of gaily decorated floats stretching almost a mile in length appeared and traversed the different streets of the town. Among the most noticeable features of the procession was a car richly and tastefully decorated, drawn j Are all transformed and glorified! announced greatly reduced rates to the Winnipeg exhibition.

Russell and Campbell, the partisan members of the emergency food commission, constitutes one of the gravest public scandals in the history of Canada. It was the manifest duty of every member of the commission regardless of party to expose the truth in the interests of the country. These gentlemen labored hard to suppress the truth in the interests of party. Their conduct during thc enquiry was nothing short of a disgrace .and their report is quite in keeping. Notwithstanding the evidence of the manufacturer o: the food tested at Kingston, the majority reported that theDevlin food is the same as Hatch's protose. Notwithstanding the report of the government analylst. who said the food bought was not a concentrated food, and was not entitled to its name as proteid fond, and was not worth the price paid, the majority decided that the price and the food were all right. Notwithstanding the fact that the department has I0.-.1 or destrayce! every sample rode the elected Dominion Queen at tended by ten ladies in waiting each representing a province or a territory of the Dominion. The ladies were attired in ball room costumes. One lady visitor, who had seen a good deal of society in her day, remarked that never ln her life had she seen 12 as pretty girls together before. Another striking feature ot the procession waa the largest float In the procession, loaded with children��������� Cardston's surest crop as the bishop proudly remarked to the visitors. Still another feature was a cavalcade of ladles and gentlemen to thc number of 40 or 50 mounted on splendid horses. The ladles wore white riding habits with jockey caps ot red. white and blue. The gentlemen also wore pretty uniforms of the same colors. The procession was marshalled by an officer on a grey horse, wearing a cockade hat and carrying a naked sword���������a typical King Billy. The band wagon, built expressly for the occasion, would do credit to a circus procession. ������- After an hour and a half's parade the procession halted at the assembly hall or meeting house. Here patriotic orations and speeches were delivered Interspersed with musical selections and recitations. Lunch was then served, after which the crowd adjourned to the race track where ai programme of races and sports was run off. A grand ball in the evening brought the proceedings to a close and wc feol safe In asserting that in no town in the Territories was Dominion day celebrated more enthusiastically and at the same time In so orderly a manner. o Some of the mountains in the Orange Free State rise to an altitude of over 10,000 feet.

How a butterfly's wing can fashion "lurnlnnus stories" who hopes what heals, and whether "miniature" Is THEIR PREVENTION BY THE USE OF CANNON. In 189G the Honorable Albert Stiger, mayor of Windisch Fiestritz, in Styria, revived an old custom of the preceding century, usually termed "weather firing". Formerly the firing was for ordinary mortars, but Mr. Stiger introduced several modifications. He found that by the use of a funnel attached to the mortar the efficiency of the shot could be greatly increased. His machine was constructed on the following lines; A heavy block of! oak or tough wood was hollowed out so that it could be be fastened securely to the mortar by iron clamps, and an iron funnel was then screwed to the block of wood The funnel is made of sheet iron1* 2 millimeters thick and has a diame ter at the opening of 70 centimeters, f while at the lower opening its width is only 20 millimeters. In 1897 as many as 36 of these firing stations were established. At first Mr. Stiger's experiments were sneered at and made sport of by both the scientific and unscientific. But' nevertheless the severity of the hail, which every year since the 70's had wrought great damage in Styria, ceased in Windisch Friest- ritz, while in the neighboring districts it became even more destruct ive. Gradually the belief in the ���������flicacy of "weather shooting" as a protection from hail spread to the wine growing districts ln the vicinity of Styria. Here also the experiment proved a great success, and were then taken up in Lombardy, Piedmont, and the other- provinces to the south. Then the Italian deputy, Dr. E. Otta- viri, visited Windisch Friestritz and also became a convert to Stiger's system of weather shooting. He returned to Italy, and under his leadership similar apparatus called Stiger cannon, were rapidly manufactured and set up, especially in Tuscany and Emilia; also an astonishing number of shooting associations sprang up, each with its individual station. In the summer of 1899, the flrst in which the cannon was used in Italy, no less than 2000 stations were equipped on the Stiger pattern, and all were very active during the season. The Italians in fact became so enthusiastic that a. congress wa3 _ summoned and _ met November 6-8, 1899, in Casale Mon- ferato. At this congress the minister of agriculture was represented by the under secretary of state, and the ministers of war and the interior also sent delegates. Five hundred participants in the congress appeared some of them the most distinguished scientists of Italy. Mr. Stiger was elected honorary president, and a committee of four eminent professors, representing Styria, Piedmont, and Venice, were appointed to report on the result of the Stiger method for preventing damage from hall. The committee unanimously agreed that "if the shooting was commenced In time the damage from tho hall was always averted." A number of instances were cited showing that ln tho towns where there was no shooting the destructive hall continued unabated, whereas in tha districts where the shooting Ing was done no hall occurred. In explaining the action of the cannon two points are to be consider ed���������the effect of the explosion and the force of the vortex ring that rises from the gun barrel. In the sultry distressing calm that preceeds vollent storms it Is almost a natural necessity to make a noise and as loud a noise as possible. One feels that from the sultry calm before the storm misfortune is to come, and that by disturbing the stillness the Misfortune may be turned away. Mr. Stiger states that he was guided hy this thought when he began his experiments in 1896. "The observations," ho says, "that every hailstorm is preceded by an absolute stillness! ln the air, accompanied by heavy oppression suggested to me the ldia of disturbing this calm which seemed essential to the formation of hall, and therefore I tried 'woather shooting,' which had been known for centuries." That vibrations can destroy the formation of hall has no foundation In physics. As far as our knowledge roaches, for we do not yot understand the hail-formlng process, the explosion could not affect the process, cither through changes In the clouds, or by premature freezing of droplets through concussion, or through a considerable concussion. We must therefore turn to tho second hypothesis, that the effect of the vortex ring from the cannon prevents the formation of halt stones.

The supply i.s taken from a small ci k north of Ihe railway at an elevation or about. 200 feet, above tlio track. .���V wooden storage tank of about 50,000 ,'alloiis capacity being situated at the head. The water is conveyed by a short length of S inch then by 0 inch converse lock jointed steel pipe to the centre of the city and distributed by *1 inch pipe of a similar description and by smaller wrought, iron pipe throughout, the greater part of t.he city. The quantities and sizes of the piping etc.. will be found a .taehed. All the small piping with one small exception is galvanized, and I think that -10 years is not an excessive estimate of the life of the works. As a coinniercial system it must be very profitable in proportion to cost, hut iis a protection against fire the sinallness of the maiiib makes it of very little service. The volume of wilt pr in the stream is not sufficient to justify any further expense in that direction, but there is a stream about ���? of a mile from the station which is of sufficient capacity and elevation to unsure a good supply. A 12-inch steel riveted pipe is the cheapest and best for bringing it in and a reservoir of sufficient size on tlie high ground north of the railway and about opposite to the centre of the city will bu most effective. As the distance is short n 14-inch pipe to connect the reservoir to the 12-inch main ami extended to connect with the. present pipes will give the best results for the money expended. VALUE OP THE WORK. In estimating the value of the works as* luiw existing I have used the prices ruling at the present*, time (which in the case of piping, copper 'and m'etal work generally are considerably higher than when the works were constructed) making what I consider a. fair reduction for depreciation for the time they have been in use.
