It contains the following carefully written articles: \"Lawns\nand how to care for them\"; \"Vines and\nwindow box decorations\"; \"The trees\nof the highway\"; \"How to plant the\nhome grounds,\" and \"How to build a\nrockery.\" Each article is profusely Illustrated, and as the paper used has a\nline surface the cuts \"come out\" exceedingly well.

Readers of this\nnewspaper are well aware of the great\nprogress made In tbe fruit industry\nalong the section from east Robson to\nPilot Bay, but the same activity Is evidenced In other sections as well. The\nWUraer Outcrop sayB: The acreage of\nland under cultivation in the Kootenay\nCentral valley this year will far exceed that of any previous year. From\nGolden right through to Cranbrook all\nof tlie ranchers are breaking up more\nland and quite a few of the new locations will be cultivated. Never before\nwas there such a genuine interest taken\nIn farming here as there Is this spring.\nThe success of our farmers .last year ia\naccountable for , this whole-hearted\nmovement to reap the benefits from this\nfertile soil, which only a short while\nago was scoffed at by the many. The\npossibilities of this as a fruit growing\ncountry has been gaining In favor every\nday, until now the land owner who has\nnot planted a few fruit treeB Is hard to\nfind.\nLater reports from the Boundary country and from still further west all point\nto i continued and well sustained movement in agriculture this'season, and beyond question at the dose of the year a\ngenuine advance ln the settlement and\nGOT HIS HAIR BACK.\nWu Verteetlr BaM Wfem H* Start-**\nto Vm NtwbfsVa Ht-**\u00bblrf*to ,\nFrederick Manuell.

Tbls summer\nis apparently to be an unusually hot and\ndry one, making bush tires exceedingly\ndangerous and likely to spread In all\ndirections. Wherever the evidence ia\nsatisfactorily convincing so as -to bring\nhome the responsibility for causing these\nfires to the guilty parties, public opinion will warmly support severe sentences being meted out to them no matter\nwho they are.

United States. In his\nsubsequent message to.congress suggesting tbat a vote of thanks should be concurred in by the house to Canada, Japan\nand Mexico, the president stated clearly\nthat he never proposed to interfere- with\naid offered directly to the San Francisco\npeople but only refused offerings which\nwere presented to the United States to\nbe handed on. Japan has already got\nover the president's refusal by sending\nmoney and supplies direct to the stricken city and lt is probable that the dominion's gift will eventually be sent direct to those in charge, of affairs at San\nFrancisco, without ihe intervention of\nthe president.\nreclaiming of a very large area will ham\nbeen recorded.\nJudging from the way the bush fires\nare springing up all over the district\nthis early in the season, we are in for a\nmuch worse bush fire summer.

According to our opinion editor Deane Is about the only man\nin Nelson who has his berth engaged.\nA town is generally known by its newa.\npaper, and Nelson's good points would\nnever be known but for The Dally News.\nThe man that keeps the good points in\nthe limelight of publicity, should at\nleast be supported by the cltlsens who\nhave tbe Interests of the city at heart,\nif lt is not, lt indicates that the clasa\nof material for citizenship is not of the\ncharacter that will make for permanence In the prosperity ot Nelaon.

Thla trading is effected by one flrat Informing\n, others of what he has to offer them in\nexchange for what hie wants trom them,\niln Its best analysis; advertising ls no\nmore nor lesa than the giving out ot\nJust such information. . The further\nalong we send thla information the\ngreater will he the number of persons\nwho act upon It.

Good.\nMontreal, May 7.\u2014According to those\nwho have had experience, Cobalt's mining exchange Is hound to go by ths board\nfor tbe very good reason tbat it has no\nexcuse for being there.\nIn Cobalt the people quarrel with the\nExchange because It depresses their .\n.' tr-cks, while customers from the outside\nwill not send lt orders because there is\nal ways such an* apparent distance between the buyer and thesseller.\nSince the inauguration of the Cobalt\nexchange, stocks which were selling aa\nhigh as ti per share bave depreciated to\n$1.45, and others which were selling at\n$1.1*1 are now quoted at 00c. Thts mas-\nbe the fault ot the exchange, and It may\nnot, but anyhow the exchange la being\nblamed for lt\nJ , \"An exchange has no place In a min-\n.

The proposition of\nstarting a Cannon boom was suggested\nsome Ume last year and since then it\nhas been thoroughly discussed by the\nfriends of Mr. Cannon and many ot the\npolitical leaders who are not themselves aspirants to the nomination. It ls\n[believed by many friends of Mr. Cannon,\nthat, leaving president Roosevelt out of\nconsideration, speaker Cannon Is the\nonly -nan who can save the republican\n-party trom defeat at tbe nest presidential election.\n[The party leaden have been much worried by the signs of radicalism and revolt tn the political atmosphere nnd the\nchances of a Bryan, a Hearst or a Bailey riding the popular wave to power,\nhas set them to scurrying for some men\n\"close to the people.\" They say Root\nwill not do. Fairbanks Ib out of the\nquestion. Even Taft ls now doubtful,\nand Jhe chances seem to favor his accepting president Roosevelt's invitation\nta ascend the supreme court bench. The\nIllinois delegation in the house Ib, naturally for Cannon to a man. Illinois ls\nhis state. The Indiana members ot the\nhouae are tn an embarrasing position.\nThere Is scarcely a man of them whose\nheart ts not with Cannon, but so long\naa they are members of tbe Fairbanks\nmachine, they feel that they cannot officially line up their state with Cannon until Fairbanks withdraws. There\nIs a movement on foot to bring about\nthis result ,\nThe Ohio members of the house do not\nfeel at liberty to declare for Cannon at\nthis time. The obstacle ls senator For-\naker, who has the presidential bee ln\nhts bonnet, although It is an almost\nforegone conclusion that his nomination\nwould lead to a terrific defeat for the\nrepublican party. Forakcr* has come\nout as a candidate, however, and that\nwill probably tie tbe hands uf tlio Ohio\nmembers.\nSpeaker Cannon holds the records tor\nspeakers. When he took his seat as\nspeaker the first time Mr. Cannon was\n67 years old. Even at that age he was\ntwo years older than his oldest predecessor st his retirement, William Pennington, ot New Jersey, who was speaker of the thirty-sixth congress from 1859\nto 1861, was 65 years old when he stepped down. He died tho following year.\nThe tendency ot late yearB seems to\nhave been toward selecting older speakers. Previous to the civil war, of 23\nspeakers only .Pennington, Jonathan\nTrumbull, who was 51, and John Var-\naum, who was 67, were over 60 years of\nage when they were eleoted, and there\nwere a number ot rather youthful presiding oflleers.\nCounting Oalusha A. Crow who presided during the struggle, there have\nbeen II speakers since the war and all\nwere men well advanced In life except\nCrow, who was only 88 when elected.\nThs baby speaker was Robert M. T.\nHunter, of Virginia, who wss speaker\not the twenty-sixth congress and was\n30 years old when he was olectert.\nLB ROI NO. 2\nLatest Official Report-Details of Ore\n'.

He approaches political economy\nmm* a new and original standpoint, and\noes not take even the time-worn donations on trust. When, for Instance,\ne commences to discuss the \"Founda-\nons of political economy,1' in the strik-\nig volume which bears that title, he\nkee ua a new definition of wealth, and\n[hlle he is engaged.in constructing It,\ni shows that ln this particular respect\nI dan* Smith was not quite right and' tbe\nI ranger Mill completely out of lt .\n1 When, th.et\u00bbfore, Mr. Robertson com-\neiices tit--discuss the slavery of labor.\ne know that we shall get somelhlnt!\nwn and Incisive, well worthy of close\ntentlon and careful consideration. Mr.'\nI obertson'e theorem ls that the effect of\nlie social organisation as It la ran at\nie present time is to keep the vast ma-\nrlty of the population supplied with\nst sufficient reward for their labor to\ntable them to live and to go on work-\ng am)< to reproduce sufficient bum-\nIHB DAIIil HBWS, HBLSOH, B. 0., TUESDAY, MAY 8, IBOS\nbers of their species to perpetuate the\nexisting conditions. This, he argues,'is\nnothing but slavery in the mask of freedom; for no ancient or modern slaveowner can obtain labor for less than the\noutlay required to maintain It in a state\nof efficiency and to perpetuate It or to\nprovide fresh supplies to replace it.\nMr. Robertson's Idsa Is that we have all\naround us ample evidence of an abundant natural supply of every commodity\nwhich Is necessary for the comfort and\nhappiness of the human race, and that\nall the trouble which is constantly necessitated In order to keep the social\nmechanism running smoothly \u25a0 arises\nfrom a lack of effective distribution of\nthe products of the earth among the Inhabitants thereof.\nIn proof of his argument that the\nworld produces enough and to spare for\nall IU Inhabitants, he points to. the Increasing difficulty of opening up new\nmarkets for goods. You can only sell a\nman a thing* If he wants it. If he Is\nalready supplied he will not buy it Mr.\nRobertson maintains that all the civil-,\nited countries of the world are now\ncoming to be so well supplied with all\nthe commodities they need that the\nopenins\/,up of new markets becomes\u2014as\neverybody, Indeed, admits\u2014a matter of\n'otjjMlkitly-lnereasing difficulty. There\n\u25a0a^Sj.'ioneral abundance, and people do\nnot' want to buy more, of course, there\nare many people who will Join issue\nwith Mr. Robertson ln his arguments;\nbut nobody is likely to dispute the lucidity wtth which he sets them forth, or\nthe evldehcea* which tbey present of the\ncare and thought which have heen spent\non their elaboration.\nAnything that la new in the shape of\neconomic thought certainly deserves the\nwarmest welcome-nowadays.- Current\neconomic thought runs in a groove, and\nnever seems to get out of it. For instance, In the realm of taxation' the\nhuman race has become, so.accustomed\nto be taxed that lt never, seems to occur to anybody that the goal of a modern financial reformer shpuld not be the\nreforming or the adjustment of taxation,\nbut Ita abolition altogether. Taxation\nwas all very well in the ancient world,\nwhen the land and the nation were to\nall intents the property of the monarch;\nor in mediaeval times, when the great\nmajority of the population counted for\nnothing In the calculations of statesmen.\nAnd men have so long been educated to\nsubmit to taxation that they have come\nto regard it as part of the natural order of things.' Hence, at this time of year,\nwe are accustomed to. discuss whether\nthe chancellor of the exchequer will be\nable fo reduce the Income-tax at all, and\nwhether this duty or that duty will be\nIncreased or diminished. . Suggestions\nare made that the chancellor of the exchequer will have to turn his attention\nto the discovery of new sources ot revenue; out it never seems to .occur to\nanybody that possibly some day a great\nchancellor will arise who will see that\nhie duties are to sweep away taxation\naltogether. .\nI*, the reader will consider for a moment what a stimulus would 'be given\nto the prosperity of the nation If the\nvast sums of money, whioh are now\nwrung from the taxpayer, and wasted\nwith such lavish profusion by the imperial government: aod by local authorities, were left is the taxpayers' possession, he'will probably agree that the\ngoal of financial reform Is not tbe readjustment of taxation, but tbe dispatch\nof the whole taxation system into the\nUnibo of forgotten and* discredited\nthings. These are daring suggestions,\nand they will .probably be scouted by\nmany people as grotesque and impossible\nof realization; but that Is necessarily\nthe fate ot any new idea. The law of\ngravitation, the circulation of the blood,\nthe revolution of the earth around the\nsun\u2014these are all specimens of Ideas\ngie propagation of which was at one\nme regarded as an Infallible proof of\nlunacy. The time will come when the\npresent system of taxation will appear as\nludicrous ln the eyes of^our posterity\nas. the dream of the philosopher's stone\nand of perpetual motion appears to us.\nThe advent of that time frill ihe considerably accelerated by plain speaking\nand original thought with regard to\neconomic problems', and It is. for that\nreason that the work of writers like\nMl*. Robertson, who aro prepared to lead\nthe way to new ideas, is deserving--of\nall welcome and appreciation at the\nhands of serious people.\nBEGINNING TOO EARLY\nPOREBT FIRES ALREADY THKlflATKN\nTIMBER ON HILLSIDES\n\u2022NELSON, ROSSLAND AND TRAIL Atiti\nHAVE SAME), AFFLICTION\nI A Arc that Is already causing annoyance\nto Nelson and may end in sweping the\nWee ot the mountain across the lake, started in the valley or 'Qrohman creek Sunday\nnight. Jt was fought toy many that it\nmust have originated on tiie land owned\nby J. J. Malone, ibut investigation by provincial constable Young yesterday alter-.\nnoon proved that the origin was higher up,\non the next bench, on land owned by a\nrancher named Fraser,\nconstable Young found no one on the property and could discover no cause of llie\ntire. The cabin has 'been burned to tne\nground and the lire Is spreading rapidly\nup thc valley. Laat evening a change ot\nwind drove ihe flames and smoke WCK\nfrom the lake, 'but another change may\ncause the burning of the whole hillside.\nClearing operations are being carried on\nnow aU over Kootenuy, and, us the wuniiui\nIms been unusually light mid everything is\nperfectly dry, each clearing tire Is traugnt\nwith great danger unless very carefully\nguarded..\nThis ls the second flre this season In tne\nneighborhood of Nelson, but other places\nare suffering from the same evil, as may-\nlie seen from the following: '\u25a0\nAccording to the Rossland Miner of Bun-\nday last the whole sldo of the mountain\nfrom Trail north to Murphy creek is ablaze\nwith a forest flre that was set by a spark\nfrom a passing locomotive, at the atuti\ndump near the China creek mill, on tne\n37th Instant. There Is considerable danger\nof this flre spreading and doing mucn\nlamuge before It Is checked. An organized\neffort should be made to extinguish \"\u25a0\nLocomotives should bo provided with effective stack screens.\n\u25a0 The Trail Creek News says: A rancner\nnamed Johnson set out a flro on his rancn\non the Carlson 'bench on Sunday. It spread\nrapidly and burnt over the scrub -timber\non the entire mountain side. By night,\nhowever, it had burned itself out, and no\nmaterial damage resulted. The tire to the\nnorthwest of the city Is also under control.\nJAFFRAY AND COX\nAmong Canadian financiers Hobert Jaffray, president of tlie company which controls the Toronto Globe, and Oeorge A.\nCox, president of the Canada Life, tho\n\u25a0bank of Commerce and other Institutions,\nare familiar figures. For years there UM\nbeen a tacit alliance between the two.\nThis was brought about ln the old days\nwhen the Midland Railway of yntaf'0\nwas an independent struggling road, iho\nstory of the deal which brought Jatnny\nand Cox together is an interesting one.\nAt that time Cox was a plain, every day\ncitizen of Peterboro, Jnttray a wholesale\ngrocer of Toronto.
