C  SATURDAY   HORNING,   MAY   28, 19m\nN0.33\nBOAT RAMMED\nSteamer Kaslo Sinks at\n<Ainsworth\nSubmerged Pile Tears Her\nTimbers\nOnly Upper Works Now\nVisible\nRaked by a submerged pile, which\ntore a breach in her hull, as she swung\nto her mooring at Ainsworth, on the\nmain lake yesterday morning, tlie big\nGreat Northern steamer Kaslo, listed,\ngradually filled with water, and sank\nuntil only her upper works were still\nin view. She carried albout 15 passengers for upper lake points who were\nsafely landed, the majority proceeding\non their journey when the C.P.R.\nsteamer Kokanee from Nelson arrived\nlate in the afternoon. The ramming\noccurred about 10:30 in the morning,\n\u00abs the Kaslo made the wharf, her etern\nswinging around and Impinging on the\nbidden obstruction. She now lies head\nto the wharf with her stem in deep\nwater. The lake Is very deep and\nabrupt at Ainsworth, falling away from\nthe shore, it Is said to a depth of 500\nfeet. Capt. J. E. Moore is her com-\naiander.\nAssistance Sent\nApparently the Kaslo did not sink at\nonce, for a message that went through\nthe Great Northern telegraph oiltfce\nspoke of her engine room being filled.\nThis was the first intimation that the\nlocal office of the Great Northern bad\nof the accident, and up to midnight\nlast night H. E. Douglas, the local\nagent, had received no direct word.\nThe message was to Troup Junction\nand a portion of it was overheard by\nan operator, who gathered that the\nKaslo was sinking at the wharf at Ainsworth, having struck an a pile, and that\nassistance was being ordered from\nTroup Junction, the Great Northern\nfreight transfer point on tlie West Arm,\nin the shape of tugs and barges. This\nmessage Came through In the afternoon.\nAbout 1:30 p.m. Capt, Gore, superintendent of the C.P.R. lake and river\nservice, received a wire from P. H.\nWalsh of Kaslo, superintendent of the\nGreat Northern lake service, asking him\nto send a tug to Ainsworth, a pile having punched a hole In the Kaslo. Mr.\nWalsh stated that he was going down\n. to Ainsworth. Capt Gore at once or-\ndrd out two tugs from Proctor.\nFinds Steamer Beached\nThe tugs were not there, but one of\nthem, the Hosmer, arrived later, bringing ln some barges, according to passengers who came in on the C.P.R.\nsteamer Moyle, which is relieving the\nKuskanook on tlie Nelson-Kootenay\nLanding run, last evening. The Hosmer at once went up to Ainsworth hut\nreturned almost immediately to Proctor\nreporting that the Kaslo was .beached,\nand that only three or four feet of her\nupper works were showing above water.\nBefore that, word of the accident had\ncome down to Proctor toy A. D. Wheeler's launch, the Krao II, Mr, Wheeler\ncoming down to secure the aid of the\nC.P.R. tugs.\nAmong those who came ln on the\nMoyle last evening were F. A. Starkey\npresident of the Nelson hoard of trade,\nand G. F. Motion. They went out on\nthe Kaslo to- Harrop in the morning\nand happened to be at the landing when\nthe Kokanee passed in tbe afternoon.\nAt the suggestion of the captain they\nW ent on to Proctor nnd thus were able\n,to catch the Moyie coming in. At\nProctor tbey passed the Hosmer coming\nb ack and learned that the Kaslo had\neventually sunk. Mr. Starkey, ln giving these details, pointed out that if\nthere had 'been telephone connection\nwith Ainsworth\u2014Boinethlng for which\ntbe board of trade ha. been working-\naid might have .been sent much sooner\nand might possibly have been of avail.\nThe opinion ln Nelson steamship circles is that the Kaslo can he raised,\nIf conditions remain favorable, but nothing is known as yet of the actual extent of the damage, which might have a\nbearing on the question. The Idaho,\nHow ln use as a big house boat, once\nWent aground and sank at Ainsworth.\ni   Served Thirteen Years\n.The Kaslo ls one of the big boats of\nthe interior of British Columbia lakes.\nShe was built at tbe Great Northern\nyards at Mirror lake, on the Main lake,\nnear Kaslo ln 1897, by. Elliott, the Ar-\ngenta and the International being turn-\n. ed out of the same yards, which were\nbuilt by the old International Trading\ncompany. She cost |8O,000. On her\nmaiden trip to Kootenay Landing she\nran aground at Grey's creek, but from\nthat time to this she has not had a\n\u00aberiouB accident. She bas ibeen plying,\nwinter and summer, six days a week,\nJbetween Nelson and Kaslo calling at\nintermediate points and her service has\nbeen particularly valuable for local passenger traffic on the West Arm. On\nTuesday she was; the medium of the\nbig Victoria day excursion to Kaslo. In\nher 13 years of service she haB been\ncommanded successively by Capt Hay-\nward, Capt. Held, Capt. Grlawold and\n(Continued on Pag* Vive.)\nCABINET RUMORS\nFROM EDMONTON\nFinding Seat for New Premlen\u2014Lieutenant Governor Refuses to Accept\nOther Ministers' Resignations.\nEDMONTON, May 27\u2014It is not yet\nknown where the, new premier will run\nfor election whether McLeod, Medicine\nHat or Cochrane. If he appoints Judge\nMitchell as attorney general he will\n'have to leave the constituency of Medicine Hat for blm to run ln. If he appoints Senator Talbot as minister of\nagriculture and Speaker Fisher gets\nthe senatorial appointment then the\npremier will have Cochrane to run in,\nwhile Talbot will have MacLeod. Then\nagain he may appoint some northern\nlawyer as attorney general and he may\nleave Hon. C. W. Cross in the cabinet\nand Hon. Duncan (Marshall also, but all\nthis is conjecture, though it is felt to\nbe a pretty far stretched conjecture to\nimagine that he will leave Mr. Cross\nin the cabinet.\nCushing Disappointed.\nHon. W. H. Cushing, an ex-minister\nof public works, whose resignation\nbrought on the trouble appears from\nhis personal appearance, both. In the\nhouse and outside to be much disappointed at the turn of events. George\nF. Smith of Camrose, who was elected\nlor minister of education in Cushlng's\nprospective cabinet also looks unhappy.\nWarnock of Plncher Creek, Cushlng's\nchoice for minister of agriculture is\napparently happy while John R. Boyle,\nslated by Gushing for attorney general\nand very active in opposition to the\nRutherford administration seems- to be\nrelieved and delighted.\nNot Accepted.\nThe resignation of Attorney General\nCross, Minister of Agriculture Marshall\nand P. Lessard, minister without portfolio, were handed in yesterday but the\nlieutenant governor refused to consider\nthem, leaving this matter to tbe new\npremier.\nSUBMARINE A VAGRANT\nAT BOTTOM OF CHANNEL\nIs Washed Away  by Strong  Current\nand   Lost  to   Divers\u2014Badly\nDamaged\nCALAIS, May 27\u2014The French submarine Pluviose with her crew of 27\nIs today a vagrant in the under waters\nof the English chlannel. \/For hours\nthe divers struggled to reach and prepare the way for the raising of the 450\nton weight when the wounded war craft\nunder, the pressure of the swift current\nshook herself free firom her mud moorings and drifted away. Late this afternoon the Pluvoise had not been again\nlocated and her whereabouts In the\ngreat shipping thoroughfare was a matter of conjecture.\nSmall Hope of Rescue\nAfter being struck by the cross channel steamer Pas de Calalse, two miles\noff hero yesterday, the submarine rose\nto the surface for a moment and then\nsunk to the bottom of the channel,\nmore than 100 feet below the surface\nwhere she remained fast until released\nby the action of the swift waters this\nafternoon. Up to that time every effort had been made by the wrecking\ncrews under the direction of Admiral\nde la Peyrere, French minister of ma-\ntrine, to reach the wreck in the hope\nthat some of those on board might have\nsurvived. There was, however, little to\nencourage this bope. The divers reported that the hull of the submarine\nappeared to have been crushed but\ntheir examination was not satisfactory\n\"because of the swift current and they\nwere unable to get a good view of the\nhull.\nA flotilla of torpedo boats and dredgers with the force of divers worked\nvainly all through the night to raise the\nill-fated war craft from her bed 100\nfeet below the surface. Strong currents\ninterfered greatly with the operations\nand after 24 hours little had been accomplished,\nAgain Located\nCALAIS, May 27\u2014The French submarine Pluvoise which was sunk by\nthe cross-channel steamer Pas de Calais\nyesterday was again located tonight\nafter having been driven from her mud\nmoorings at the bottom of the English\nchannel today by the swift currents.\nTonight various craft are moored above\nthe spot where lies the plunger with\nher dead company of 27 men sending\ndown divers in an endeavor to fasten\nchains about the wreck so that it may\nbe raised to the surface.\nAll Perished\nThat the men in the Pluviose all\nperished Is the belief of the naval officers who are assisting tbe wrecking\noperations. Naptha on the surface of\nthe water leads them to the belief! that\nthe inner shell of the submarine was\nshattered by, the bow of the Pas de\nCalais and 'that all the crew were\ndrowned. The report that the divers\nlast night heard rappings flrom inside\nthe submarine is now discredited.\nENTER FOR STEWARD S CUP\nWINNIPEG, May 27-Aftsr practising hard for a number of weeks 6n the\nRed river and undergoing a few tests,\nthe Winnipeg four oared crew, stroked\nby Con Riley, cabled their entry to England for the Steward's cup.

G. Procter, manager of the Kootenay Valleys Company, Limited, has returned to the city, after laying out the\ntownslte'of Elko, on the Crow line, ln\ncompany with Mr. Hamilton, assistant\nagent of the C. P. R. land department\nat Calgary. This work was successfully performed on Monday. Elko will\nbe the point at which the Kootenay\nCentral railway, from Golden on the\nmain line, will Join the Crow, and as\nthe construction of tbat railway line\nis to take place In the early future, according to various announcements,\nElko has an assured future.\n\"Elko is 18 miles this side of Fernie,\"\nsaid Mr. Procter \"and it is the centre\nof one of the most promising districts\nIn this country, in my opinion, the best\nin the East Kootenay. Within the last\nfive years the Kootenay Valleys company has sold the greater part of the\n30,000 acre land grant which it was organized some years earlier to handle,\nin fact only about 1000 acres are left.\nMuch of this land has been sold to settlers and practically all of it will ultimately go to settlement. The largest\nparcel was a block of 10,000 acres purchased by an American syndicate,\nwhich has built a big irrigation ditch,\nthe water now running in from Sand\ncreek, active colonization work being\ncarried on on the tract. I do not\ndoubt that this will be one of the greatest residential districts of the Crow.\nIndustrial Centre.\n\"From the standpoint of industrial\nenterprise, Elko is already an important centre. Five large lumber mills,\nbesides several smaller ones, are Immediately tributary to the town, the\nlargest being the Baker mill at Waldo.\nThe Elk river falls are the largest\nwater power In the East Kootenay, having a head of 250 feet in a mile, and\nparties are going to harness them.\nWhen this is accomplished, probably\nin tlie near future, Elko is bound to become a great industrial centre.\n\"It ls stated that the contracts for\nthe construction^ the Kootenay Central railway are practically let, and\nthat construction will likely start very\nshortly. Elko will then be practically a\ndivisional point.\nFine Trunk Road.\n\"One of the noticeable features along\nthe Crow just if?W is the road work,\non tlie trunk road that Hon. Thomas\nTaylor, provincial minister of agriculture, Is putting through. I am not speaking in a critical spirit of other sections,\nbut I really think the section of road\nIn the vicinity of Elko is the finest of\nthe kind I have ever seen. Much of it\nis equal to Baker street, and two\nvehicles can pass at any point. That\ntrunk road will be of immense value to\nthe country.\n\"The townslte of Elko and a block of\nland surrounding it, are owned jointly\nby the C. P. R. and the Kootenay Valleys company. A water works system,\nwhich will cost from .25,000 to $30,000\nIs being put in and the- construction\nwill be rapidly pushed. There Is a big\ndemand for acreage and other prop-\n,erty. The population of the town Is\nnow about 400 or 500, and is rapidly increasing.\"\nTRADE ACTIVE IN\nCANADIAN WEST\nQuiet In the East and Collections Are\nSlow\u2014Undertone  of  Conditions Healthy.\nNEW YORK, May 38.\u2014Bradstrcet's tomorrow will nay: in the Canadian northwest trade continues active but In the\neast business is quiet, thought the undertone of things Is healthy.

His excellency has\nnot yet decided exactly what route will\nbe followed. It has been suggested that\nthe party might travel most conveniently to Hudson bay by the MlsslnaJbie\nriver route but in all probability he will\nset out by Pas Mission or from tho\nnorthern end of Lake Winnipeg and\nfollow the water course on the surveyed route to the bay. Owing to the dif-\nticultieg that will be encountered\non tbe trip his excellency's party will\n.be a small one and he will be accompanied ony by one A.D.C.

BETTER.\nTbe perennial conflict between guns\nand armor bas attained a fresh stage\nby the adoption of a new type of armor\nplate for warships by the German naval\nauthorities. For some time tlie Krupp\nfactories have been manufacturing\nplate of nickel-tungsten steel instead of\nthe nickel-chrome steel hitherto used\nfor that purpose. It is claimed for the\nnew plate that it has a resistance to\npenetration of from 10 to 12 per cent,\nhigher than the Krupp N. C. armor\npreviously employed (for ships of the\nGenman navy. The whole of th\u00a9\ndreadnoughts now under construction\nln German shipyards will be armored\nwith the new nickel-tungsten steel\nplate.\nAt all events, It is significant that\nthe Germans are at present arranging\ncontracts with the Wolfram Mining\ncompany, ot Panasquiera, Portugal,\nfor the whole of the output of tungsten ore from the La. Guarda mines for\nthe next three years. Hitherto British\ntmanuacturers of armor plate for the\nnavy have been paying a royalty of\n$50 per ton to the Krupps for the\nrights to make armor according to tbe\nKrupp method. The patents on this\nprocess have recently run out, and\nnow the famous German works are in\nthe field with a new tungsten-Bteel,\nwhich is reported to give much better\nresults than, tlie so-called \"Krupp non-\ncemented\" armor plate.\nThe British test for ships' armor is\nto resist heavy projectiles with a\nvelocity of 1950 foot-secondB. In the\nrecent tests the new German armor\nplate Is said to have resisted projectiles with a velocity of 2250 foot-*ec-\nonds, a very important advance. It\nIs claimed for the tungsten-steel\nplate that, while It is fully equal to\nthe old In tmrface hardness, It Is much\ntougher and more resistant, and is free\nfrom any tendency to brittleness, and\nis, therefore, less likely to crack under\nthe blows of heavy projectiles striking\nit at high velocity.\nKENO IS DEAD\nStory of Two Dogs Who Frequented the\nPrint Shops of Greenwood.\nFour years ago, says the Greenwood\nLedge, two dogs continually haunted\nthe print shops of Greenwood. One of\nthem was a handsome dog called Pete,\nnoted for his pugilistic proclivities. He\nwould fight anything from a North American lion to a delinquent subscriber\nand never failed to come out second\nbest. He was a brave dog, but lacking\nIn caution and judgment. This cost him\nbis life; for he passed away one hot\nafternoon while engaged in a terrible\ncombat with another canine upon the\nDeadwood road. Tbe stage passed over\nPete, and he passed to tiie dog heaven\nwith a frozen yell upon his lips, and in\na manner that would he considered Infra dig by a peaceful and morally\nbrought up animal. Poor Pete, he died\nIn war with his toes to the foe and his\nbark on the outside. But not so\nKeno.\nKeno was a black dog, quiet, affectionate, mannerly, but ugly as a lobster dream. He could generally be\nfound lying in the Bun before either of\nthe local typographical luminaries. He\nwas an intelligent animal and had no\nbias towards either paper. Keno was\nwise and knew.his friends. He had a\ndeep attachment for Ed. Rowland, and\nfollowed him every day about meal\ntlmeB down to where the restaurants\npermeate the ozone with the delightful\nodor of heefsteakB. Then ho would\nwait outside until Ed. produced the\nbovine roast, when he would utter a\nsilent canine prayer and fall to, like a\ncoon hogging a watermelon, ever and\nanon looking up at Ed., as much as to\nsay: \"Ed., you are the real goods from\nOld Kentucky.\" But all things pass\naway, so out in the road on Saturday\nmorning Keno turned in his checks.\nProbably he died of heart failure, superinduced by tlie exciting times In the\ncopper metropolis. He was born in\nBoundary Falls many years ago, but\nnone of hlB friends were at the funeral. Ed. put up the burial expenses\nand had him planted where the flies\ncannot break In and sting. His taxes\nwere paid in advance and be died a\nrespectable death.\nAUTOMOBILE TURN8 TURTLE\nOCCUPANTS ARE KILLED\nCOLUMBUS, O., May 27\u2014Miss Lillian Wright and Miss Flossie Herman\nwere instantly Wiled today at Logan\nby their auto turning turtle.

May 27\u2014The entiro\ntrolley system of the United Traction\ncompany at Albany was tied up this\nmorning by a Btrike.

The United Traction .company men claimed that passengers from\nthe Cohoes company ought to be made\nto transfer at the terminal ofi tbe latter company's line to the United Traction company's line. Negotiations failed to shake the Cohoes company's determination to run Its cars through to\ntbe circus grounds and all the United\nTraction company's men went out on\nstrike in consequence, the night men\nrunning their cars to the barns at 6\no'clock this morning and the day men\nrefusing to take -them out.

The president then\nBpoke of tho advisability of devoting\nthe small sum at our disposal to diocesan objects In preference to foreign,\nas they already received pledges from\nevery branch, and the board wishes\nthat the church members in Frultvale\nshould teel that they have the sympathy ot the W.A. In their work. This\nwas evidently tbe feeling ot the meeting, for a motion to donate the .2 in\nhand was carried as follows: tl 0 to\nFrultvale church; $5 to Rev. E. P. Robin's appeal; J5 to Rev. C. Reed's appeal, and t2 to N.W. missionaries' salary fund, a pledge that hnd not been\nmet by one of the branches.\nThe secretary of Junior branches.\nMiss Clawson, then spoke ot tho substitution of junior pledges for senior,\nfollowing the wish of the general board\nthat Juniors should work for children.\nIn consequence the two Junior pledges\nof ?5 each to the salaries of Miss Spender, were taken up iby the Senlor\nbranches of Rossland, Grand Forks and\nTrail and the Juniors will now take up\nthe following pledges; Kindergarten,\nNagoya, Japan; Children of Honan,\nChina; support of a cot in Lytton hospital, and tho education of a child of\none of the N.W. missionaries. All\npledges as before undertaken are renewed and a discussion upon the Bls-\nhoprio'endowment fund followed owing\nto a question by the president of Rossland as to the duration oB the pledge.\nIiy request of the chair, Rev. F. H.\nGraham, secretary of the diocese, enlightened the meeting as to the amount\nrequired, expected and raised and urged\nthat each branch should heel it encumbent upon them to give their assistance\nOf the 150,000 which has to he raised,\n{35,000 ls already in the Bishopric Endowment fund, chiefly through the generous assistance ot the English societies, who contribute to the fund. In\norder that certain large gifts may be\navailable the dab. of closing the fund\nhas been postponed from December,\n1909 to 1913, which will give the diocese more time to raise its share. The\nbusiness was suspended at this Juncture for the noon day prayers, which\nwere read by Rev. F. H. Graham.\nUpon the resumption of business the\nvoting on pledges resulted ln the donation of the amounts raised by the\nBabies' branches to the following objects: S4 to the \"Birds' Nest\" mlsBlon\nIn China; (5 to a chllds support In the\nhomo on the Plegan reserve, Calgary;\n(5 to a cot in the Lytton hospital.\nThe president here spoke of the splendid example ot missionary seal evinced\nby the scholars ot Mr. Graham's bible\nolass who contribute .50 per annum\nto the support ot a girt In the home\nat Matsumoto, Japan.\nA special donation ot 15 to the Fruit-\nvale church was announced Iby the\npresident of the Nelson branch, which\nwas gratefully received.\nAn interesting letter from Miss West\nMetlakatla school, <was read by the\nrepresentative of the Kelowna branch.\nThe meeting then adjourned .until 3\nn.m when the eleotlon ot officers took\nplace.  Below IB given the list ot offic\ners, who were all elected without a\nsecond nomination.\nArchdeacon's Address\nRev. F. H. Graham then gave his\naddress, which began with congratulations to the president on the satisfactory result ot work done, as well as\nupon the excellent reports sent ln with\na special word of praise for the treasurer's report. Mr. Graham also noted\nthe kindness of The Daily News in giving such a prominent place to the reports of the proceedings. He then expressed a hope that the words he was\nabout to say would prove useful and\nhelpful to his hearers. He would discuss those things that hinder and discourage us ln our work, not to diB-\ncourage us but to point to the uses of\nwhat appear adverse and trying. Those\nwho have the work most at heart will\nfeel their own disabilities more keenly\nthan those who join in the work from\nevanescent motives. These disabilities\nare known to Christ and we must take\ncomfort in the steadfast faith that He\nIs a real, personal, present Christ, who\nhas given us His work to do and with it\nIs ablo to suply power to carry it out;\n\"My grace is sufficient tor thee.\" Taking the illustration of tlie feeding of the\nfive thousand with five small loaves,\nthe speaker showed how from the casual, utterly lneflfcient store of a young\nlad Christ supplied the wants of a\nmultitude. He is the same Christ today\nand will apply our woi'k to uses far\nbeyond our power, it Is well that we\nshould realize our dependence upon\nHim and His infinite grace. Then the\nuse of discouragement, from the failure of those we depend upon to help\nus in our work, is discipline. Tbe\ngreat apostle St. Paul \"gloried\" ln all\nthe trials and afflictions he went\nthrough flor the missionary work of\nChrist. No man suffered more, but he\nset us the example of accepting the discipline of a Master who was worth\nserving. If our Master commissions\nus to any special work we should realize that we must obey His orders un-\nquestlonlngly, as a soldier would. There\nis no doubt concerning the result, success is absolutely assured in such a\nwork and with such a commander. We\ncan never tell how much our feeble\nwork may mean or what its result may\nhe in the furtherance of the cause of\nChrist. Specially it is the best wisdom\nto train the infant voice to lisp the\nprayer of \"God 'bless all the missionaries and every little helper, for Jesus\nsake, Amen,\" and to train into a child's\nmind thoughts that will never be eradicated. In fostering the spirit of accepting discipline we find ourselves\ndrawing nearer to Christ: \"Henceforth\n.... I call you friends\"; we come nearer to tlie councils of God and are able,\nwith the great apostle to \"glory in our\ninfirmities.\nVotes of Thanks\nA standing vote of thanks was then\npassed to the Rev. F. H; Graham for\nhis kindness in allowing us tho use of\nthe church and mission room, for taking\nthe service and for his closing address;\nalso to Archdeacon Beer for preaching\nthe sermon and to the Rev. T. Blaylock\nfor auditing the diocesan accounts; to\nMiss Kendall Cor typewriting the copies\nof the program for the annual, and to\nThe Dally News for printing the\nlengthy reports of the meetings. The\nBenediction was pronounced by the rector of St. Saviour's, which closed the\nproceedings.\nAn excellent tea was then served by\nthe executive and those members of\nthe parochial branch who attended\nwere cordially welcomed as well as a\nfew Juniors and members of the Babies'\nibranch. The visiting delegates were\nthen taken for a pleasant trip on the\nlake ln launches lent by Messrs. H.\nand M. Bird, which made a pleasant finale to our fourth annual meeting.

If. as\nThe   Practical   Railway   Builder\u2014What\nTwo Men Are Doing.\nBy* their accomplishments in railway building, Mackenzie and Mann are\nbest known in Canada. Their energy\nis amazing, their foresight almost uncanny, their generalship Napoleonic.\nBeing human, they are not perfect, but\nthey make up for their imperfections\nby hard work. They learn from every\nexperience. An ancient prophet spoke\nof a time when old men would see\nvisions and young men would dream\ndreams. Both Mr. Mackenzie and Mr.\nMann are past the visionary period.\nAlso they have not yet become dreamy.\nBut they have imagination and courage. The imaginative faculty gave\nthem the ideal of another transcontinental railway line. The courage started them along the rock strewn path of\naccomplishment. Before long the ideal\nwill be realized.\nNot Yacht Like.\nIt Is generally understood that the\nfinancial arrangements of the firm\nare .made by Mr. Mackenzie. Mr. Mann\nls the practical railway builder. He\nIs not yacht-like In his physical contour. He is a cargo carrier. The\ntreasure chamber is his head\u2014massive,\nalmost leonine. Reserve force seems\nto dwell within him. His dark beard\nscarcely conceals a fine jaw of most\nexcellent squareness;. His eyes are\nmild. His voice is deep, soft and mellow. As he stood in the cabin of the\nnew steamer. Royal Edward, decision\nand finality seemed to emanate from\nhis person, and formed an aura round\nabout him.\nA Glimpse at the Future.\nHis speed, was not long. His words\nwere not halting. He knew what he\nwanted to do\u2014to draw aside for a moment the curtain concealing the Mackenzie and Mann projects, and allow\ntlie press and the world to be incredulous or believing, as they saw fit. He\nsaid that on the question of transportation by water, he was all at sea. Tlie\njest was lit by a flickering smile which\nsoon died down. \"Hut I hope >to learn,\"\nhe added, with a sort of placid joy in\nthe contemplation of more work. \"This\nsteamer ls only the forerunner of a\nlarge fleet, not only on the Atlantic.\nbut on the Great Lakes and on the P-a-\ncfflc. The Atlantic service has been\nstarted before our transcontinental\nrailway line ls complete, but it takes\nyears to organize an Atlantic transportation business. We hope that.\nwhen our line ls finished from ocean\nto ocean, the Canadian Northern organization will be something of which\nwe may all be proud.\"\nWhat Two Men Are Doing.\nMr. Mann ceased. The curtain dropped once more. The glimpse into the\nBazaars of Bagdad was over. The\ntaste of the Arabian night tale was\n-sweet and marvellous. Princess Scher-\nazade told of genie and magic carpets\nand wondrous lamps. But she never\ntold her lord and master of two men\nbuilding an iron chain to reach halfway around the world. That magic\nbelongs to the Twentieth century.\nAfter\nLa Grippe\n\"I had suffered several weeks\nwith LaGrippe. Had pains in\nmy head and eyes. It felt as\nthough there was a heavy weight\non the top of my head, until it\nseemed that my brain would\nburst. I was so nervous that\nI could not rest or sleep. When\nI dozed off I would awake with\na sudden jerking of my whole\nbody. Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart\nRemedy and Nerve and Liver\nPills cured me.

FOSTER  .Manager\nSATURDAY, MAY 28.\nGRADES   ON   THE   TEHUANTEPEC\nRAILWAY.\nA statement recently issued from\nCalgary spoke of the Tehuantepec rail-'\nway as a possible competitor with the\nPanama canal. For this remarkable\nidea two reasons were given,\u2014the saving in distance and .he low grades\nwhich the railway was alleged to have.\nWe pointed out that, even assuming\nthe grades to be low, tihe reduction in\ndistance would hardly offset the cost o(\nitwo additional handlings, possible delays while waiting for boats, and the\ngreater cost of land carriage.\nThe statement as to the grades being low was contrary to our impression\nand we have gone to the trouble of\ninvestigating it. We find that the\ngrades are anything but that.\nThe length of the line is 192 miles,\ntlie greater part of which is on the\nAtlantic slope; so that on that side the\nascent is the more gradual. But even\nthere the grades on a considerable part\nof the line run from 1.5 per cent, to 2\nper cent, and more. On it he Pacific\nside tlie grade for some distance aver*\nages 2.2 per cent. That means that in\nspots it will be still steeper, and this is\nthe slope that our grain would have to\nclimb.\nWhat is meant nowadays when a\nlow grade is spoken of is one that does\nnot exceed .4 per cent, or .5 per cent.\nThe grades on tlie Tehuantepec road\nare from four to five and a half times\nas steep as a 4 per ceuu grade. They\ninclude grades as bad as those now\nfound on the C. P. R. through the\nKicking Horse or Roger's pass.\nTo speak of sending grain over such\na road, and paying for two transhipments in addition, ns cheaply as sending it by water In vessels already\nloaded, seems slightly ridiculous.\nenough to pay for the axle grease on\nits wheels; with Gold win Smith who\nspoke of Canada as a fringe of permanently disjointed settlements, destined soon to become a part of the\nUnited States; or with Sir Richard\nCartwrlght who could see nothing In\nthe National Policy hut a conspiracy\nto rob the consumer.\nSir John's works have proved permanent, what of his words? Forty\neight years ago, before Confederation,\nhe argued in favor of that measure\nagainst those who feared that It would\ntell against British Connection. He\nsaid it would have exactly the opposite effect, and he drew a picture of the\nfuture place of Canada in the Empire.\nIncidentally he said:\nThe colonies are now ln a\ntransition state. Gradually a different colonial system is being\ndeveloped\u2014and it will become\nyear by year less a case of dependence on our part, and of\nover-ruling protection on the part\nof the Mother Country, and more\na case of healthy and cordial al-.\nllance.\nHow do these words look today? After forty eight years experience of the\nresults of confederation they read like\nan exact account of what has taken\nplace. When he spoke them they were\na prophecy derided by \"great thinkers\"\nwho referred to him as a mere time\nserving politician.\n11\n.633\n14\n.676\n13\n.666\n13\n.662\n18\n.470\n16\n.448\n19\n.424\n22\n.363\nGOOD   ALLY   FOR\nCOLUMBIA.\nBRITISH\nWe have inquiries for FRUIT RANCHES ON\nTHE ARM.

N. R.\nsystem and the further plans that have\nheen announced even in the short time\nthat has elapsed since the passing of\nthe contract a few months ago, are\nsufficient to indicate what kind of men\nand what kind of a transportation system has become deeply Interested in\nthe progress of this province.\nWithin those few months we have\nseen the inauguration of an Atlantic\nservice, the fastest now plying to\nCanada from Europe. We have seen\nthe completion of tbe lines from Ottawa and Montreal to Quebec,.the beginning of the Toronto-Ottawa line, the\nbeginning of six hundred miles of additional mileage on the prairie, the\ncalling for tenders for the beginning\nof work in British Columbia, the taking over of the Dunsmuir properties,\nthe developments in the Portland canal,\nthe announcement of the early construction of the line connecting the\neastern and the western systems, of\nfurther proposed railway lines, and of\nlines of vessels plying on the great\nlakes and on tbe Pacific.\nThese things go to show more than\nthe magnitude of the financial Institution that baa become Interested In the\ndevelopment of this province.

Of this total 647,063 tons were\nmade from Canadian ore, on which a\nbounty of 70 cents a ton or $480,763\nwas paid and 193,181 tons from foreign\nore, the bounty being $93,205. The\nproduction of steel was 740,390 tons and\nthe bounty $695,762. , On wire rods\n$333,812 was paid for an output of-87,-\n802 tons.\nBteadily enlarging output of Boundary\nmines. He outlined the customary\ncourse of development of a country\u2014\nthe earliest pioneers were usually the\ntrappers and fur-traders; then came\nthe placer gold miners, who made trails\ninto the country; and next followed the\nprospectors who discovered the ore\nbodies and opened them up sufficiently\nfor the capitalists to expend money ln\ntheir development. Following the successful development of the ore bodies\n(railways were built and these facilitated\nthe settlement of the country and its\nbeing made available for agriculture\naad other industries under conditions\nthat were favorable but not previously\nin existence. These several stages the\ndistrict they were then in had passed\nthrough until now it possessed varied\nresources which it was practicable to\nturn to profitable account\u2014In mining,\nlumbering, stock-raising, agriculture,\nfruit, growing, etc. He was very pleased\nto be able to again visit this big and\nImportant district which he had also\nseen during several earlier stages of Its\nsettlement. He was glad to find that\nthe institute he and his fellow members\nrepresented was recognized as doing\nimportant and useful work, and he most\nsincerely thanked the gentlemen who\nhad made them welcome in such kindly\nterms, which kindness he could assure\nthem was much appreciated by the\nbranch of which he was this year's\nchairman. ,\nPhoenix Deposits.\nlist having been one by O. E. LeRoy\non \"The Geology of the Phoenix Ore\nDeposits.\" In the course of half-an-\nhour's address Mr. LeRoy gave much\ninteresting information, which was the\nmore readily understood by non-technical men present by reason that the\nspeaker illustrated his subjects with\ncolored diagrams, showing the rock formations and the positions of the ore\n'bodies, to which reference wae. repeatedly made. After Mr. LeRoy bad replied to some questions asked, he was\nfreely applauded for his efforts to give\ninformation on tbe subject of his address.\nKettle River Ore.\nThe secretary next read a paper prepared by L. Reinecke, also of the Dominion Geological Survey, entitled,\n\"Silver and Gold Deposits on the West\nFork of Kettle River.\" In this Mr.\nReinecke, who unfortunately had found\nIt necessary to hasten to the West\nFork to commence his season's field-\nwork there, reviewed the rock formations and occurrences of gold and stiver-\nbearing ores In the West Fork country, and gave Information concerning\nthe development work hitherto done,\nvalue of ore shipped to smelters, and\nother particulars. The great drawback\nto extensive development had been the\nabsence of transportation facilities, but\n\u25a0this will soon be remedied and thereafter the ore bodies of the district will\ndoubtless be further developed.\nFollowing Mr. Relnecke's paper was\na summary of a paper that had been\nprepared by Mr. Charles Camsell, also\nof the Dominion Geological Survey,\nwhose work for several seasons had\nbeen principally In the Slmllkameen\ndistrict, where he now Is. In that\npaper the mineral resources of a portion of the southern Interior of British\nColumbia lying between the Fraser and\nOkanagan valleys were described. The\nmain features were outlined in the summary read 'to the meeting by tlie secretary.\nVotes of Thanks.\nVotes of thanks were   passed to the\nseveral authors of papers (that to Mr.\nLeRoy having been proposed by Mr. E.\nSpragget on behalf of the prospectors,\nwho, her said, appreciated that Mr. LeRoy Ib doing important work for the\ndistrict), to the press of the Boundary\nand Kootenay for notices of the meeting, to the mayor and citizens of\nGrand Forks for their kindness and\nthe many courtesies shown the visitors.\nA resolution was also passed requesting the Geological Survey to have\nprepared a report on the North Fork\ncountry, especially Franklin camp, and\na suitable map to accompany same. No\nother business having been brought\nforward, the chairman declared the\nmeeting closed.\nday. If any of those not yet accounted\nfor will write to him he will send an\nagent to count them without delay.\nSAN  FRANCISCO LARGER\nTHAN AT TIME OF FIRE\nThe census enumeration of San Francisco has been a model of good, thorough and reliable work, according to\nW. E. Block, chief special agent of the\ncensus for the states of Washington,\nOregon and California, who has been\nin the city for several days, quietly looking over the work of the local census\nsuperintendent, Capt. George B. Baldwin.\nBlock had a long conference with\nBaldwin yesterday. At its conclusion\nhe said that there is no doubt but that\nthe 1910 census of this city will show\na population greater than that it had\nthe dhy before the fire.\n\"Such a showing is little short of\nmiraculous,\" contended Block, \"In Its\nway this fact will always possess historical importance (because it shows\nthat San Francisco has more than held\nIts own in spite of the great fire and\nthe remarkable heglra it caused.\"\nBlock, who Is one of the picked men\nsent out from Washington hy Director\nof the Census E. Dana Durand, says\nthe latter has expressed the opinion\nthat the figures of San Francisco will\nbe oil especial Interest to everybody\nbecause ot the catastrophe. From advance information Durand believes this\ncity will run beyond 400,000 as compared with Its 342,000 population, or\nthereabouts ten years ago.\nWonderful Recuperation\nBy doing so San Francisco will more\nthan ever give to the world an exceptional illustration of recuperative power\nand vitality,, something that will be\nbeneficial to Us citizens in a dozen\nand more manifest ways.\n\"While we practically know now the\ncity's population, it Is not to be made\npublic,\" continued Block, \"until Director Durand is ready to give out the\nfigures for all the large cities sometime\nnext month. While on the subject of\nthe Increase in San Francisco I can\nBay that California, Oregon and Washington are all going to show large increases in population.\n\"Los Angeles, Berkeley Oakland, San\nJose, Sacramento, Stockton, Portland,\nTacoma Seattle and Spokane have all\nforged ahead, Los Angeles has claimed\nmuch during the past year or two; so\nhas Seattle.

It was made out by a\nwife and mother. Under the \"head\nof family\" she has written the name of\nthe husband. Beneath it she has written the words: \"Left in March, 1906\nfor the mines and has never been seen\nor heard of Bince.\"\nSuperintendent Baldwin wants It understood that the name taking work\nof his office closes next Tuesday evening, May 31. He is anxious to get more\nnames of those unaccounted between\nnow and the closing time. He continues to get about a hundred names a\nTWO CARLOADS OF ONTARIO\nSAWMILL HAND8 COME WEST\nTwo coaches filled with mill men\npassed through Winnipeg on Thursday\nfor Vancouver. These men were engaged in Arnprlor, Ont, to go to British Columbia, where they will be employed In the lumber mill of the Ross-\nSaskatoon Lumber company, and In\ntheir lumber camps.\nH. H. Ross, general manager, who la\nhere buying horses, stated that the\ndemand for lumber In Western Canada was never as great as it is in this\nseason. For the first time the mills\ncommence this week to run 24 hours\neach day. An effort is being made to\nkeep pace with the demand.\nThe Ross-Saskatoon company have a\ncomplete lumber plant in Waldo. Last\nseason they built a short line of railway to their lumber camps and bought\na locomotive and sufficient oars to\ntransport all their logs.\nThey will open a warehouse and offices in Vancouver.\nTWO BOATS ARE SWAMPED\nIN SEATTLE SHELL RACE\nThe groat shell race on Wednesday on\nLake Washington between crews representing Washington and Stanford universities, ended Inglorlously in the swamping\nof both boats, but as the Washington crew\nwere well ahead at the time of the first\nspill\u2014that of Stanford's shell\u2014the decision\nwas awarded to the home crew.\nThe Standford shell waa swamped four\nminutes after the tiring of the starter's\ngun. At that time the Washington crew\nwas fully four lengths ahead and was\nmaking a pace that if maintained to the\nfinish of the three-mile course would have\nmeant a wide gap between the locals and\nthe Stanford contenders.\nJ. W. Roberts, coxwaln for Stanford,\nnearly was drowned when hia shell was\nswamped. He could not swim and ln hiw\nwild struggle to reach one of the nearby\nboats be went under several times and\nswallowed a great deal of water. He was\nrescued by spectators who Jumped into*\nthe water from nearby launches.\nGale Rased on  Lake.\nThe race waB not begun until 12.40 o'clock\nbecause of unfavorable weather conditions. A small gale was sweeping the lake,\nwaves running nearly two feet high.\nStanford's boat jumped to the lead immediately at the start, gaining nearly\nthree-quarters of a length. The Wastng-\nton men rallied quickly, however, finding\ntheir stroke, which, It soon became apparent, was much faster than that of the'\nsoutherners, Washington soon passed\nStanford, and at the end of four minutes,\nwhen the California boat went over, was\nfar out In the lead, with the crew stroking\n30 to the minute as against a 34 pace of\nthe Californlans.\nCoxswain Rescued.\nA spll! had been expected, and launches\nwere run close to the racing shells.

H. WALLACE, 506 Baker Street\nWOMEN  AS CITIZENS\n( .ddress given by Mrs. A. T.\nWatt before Nelson Woman's\nInstitute.)\nIt Is now realized on all sides that a\n\u25a0woman's duty only begins within the Corn-\nwalls of her home, that far from ending\nthere it should radiate like the sun's rays\nin all directions where she can do good\nto others, or help to Improve the conditions under which she and her family\nlive. Man's duties to the slate are manifold, and a woman's not less so.\nFor besides having a home and family,\nwe  live  in   a  neighborhood,  and  different\nhomes   make   up   the  community      \"   wn\ndid not recognize that w\" '\u25a0\u25a0\"\"> \u00ab'\nto  the   neighborhood,   v\nhere  today.    Whenever\n      if   we\nhuvu obligations\n_, should not be\nwomen   meet   to\nners     IUH.1J . ,, _._.._._.\ngather they fulfil these obligations; they\nare working together lor the good of the\ncommunity, or as in the case of missionary and other world-wide societies, for\nthe cause of humanity generally. The ties\nthat bind the home within the community,\nand again the community to the country,\nare intermingled in so many directions\nthat no one now in our complicated life\ncan separate them.\nThis being so, we will naturally he interested in whatever concerns the home,\nneighborhood, city, country, and the woman citizen's duties begin.\nHome Primal Care.\nIt ia understood that the woman's personal concern is the home\u2014the earning of\na living\u2014is  the  man's.\nBut this is speaking generally. The process is in some guise often reversed, when\nthe woman is the breadwinner, and since\nhome-making seems Impossible without\nwomen, she is tlie home-maker, child-\nbearer, Wage-earner In one; and the man,\nthrough misfortune or incapacity, is only\nan  additional burden.\nThen there are women who, although in\nhomes, are not of tlie family, and naturally find outside interests. Add to this tlie\ngreat army of women who earn, and the\nWomen who through preference or neces-\nity seek hotel or boarding-house life, and\nwe have a vast number of wotnf\" \",l\"1\ncannot make home-making the\nconcern.\nBut they are nevertheless citizens, and\naa such must bear their part.\nThere Is no question but that the woman\nwho has marrialjiajjpily, borne lieulthy\nchildren, has brought them up to honorable and useful manhood and womanhood,\nand has through the vicissitudes of the\nyears kept peace and comfort and joy\nwithin the walls of her home, has achieved\nthe full measure of success and womanhood.\nWe love to look upon the picti\nhappy   home,    a   centre    of   ac\t\nnucleus of all that is good in community\nlife, its benetlcietit influence spreading in\nall directions, and we love to think that\nthe sacred lire In the hearth was lit by\nthe mother's love.\nA Mother's Love Limited.\nmother's   love   cannot   do\nis   readily   seen,   come   naturally   out   in I\nher desire to have a happy home.\nMore remote duties will bo her advocat- I\nIng reforms in many directions, and taking\npart in such movements as are for tho\ngood of the whole country, such as the\nanti-tuberculosis campaign, the local option work, patriotic undertakings of various sorts. But I should like to dwell particularly on the duties of a woman citizen\nin her Immediate neighborhood.\nIt is ..ten a problem how much a woman, usually overburdened, owes further\nto the state. But there can be no question\nas to her right to concern herself with the\nduties of a citizen which I have Just mentioned, those which arise from the home\nneeds.\nHas Right to Protect Family.\nTo dwell a little on the lirst, to see that\nthe surroundings of her home and neighborhood are all that they should be In\nhealthfillness and decency. Tbls Is a large\norder, but so important that I have to\nput it first. Health is the greatest bless-\nIng in the world; decency, the primal need.\nTo be health v. there must be sanitary\nsurroundings, hygenlc modes of living. And\nthe woman citizen has a right to ask of\nthe civic authorities that tbey prevent impure food, or stale food or foods, unnecessarily exposed to street dust, etc.,\nfrom being sold; that tlie water supply be\nunpolluted, and that tbe milk offered for\nsale in the city be free from impurity and\nup to standard in fat. She has a right to\nask that the best available disposal of\nsewage be made from her premises and\nthose of her neighbors. She has a right\nto clean street. , free from tnud and dust,\nwlilch oftentimes pollutes her home. She\nhas a right to ask that dirt and germ-\nbreeding rubbish be not allowed to accumulate In the neighborhood of her\nhome, whether on city property or on her\nneighbor's premises, She has a right to\nask that wherever possible all scavenging\nand street cleaning he done at night when\nchildren nre not about the street. She\nhas a right to civic protection from epidemics and the contagion of tuberculosis\nor other hichly infectious diseases. From\nnil these sources come Infinite trouble to\ntlie home.\nWIUTS NEW IN ENGLAND\n_   who\nprimal\nof a\nactivity,   a\n_  nome.\nIn short, she has an undoubted right to\ndemand that the civic authorities shall do\nall they can to prevent disease from entering her home. All these demands nre\npreventive measures which no one questions the expediency of using. One readily\nsees that the home-maker cannot keep\nherself aloof from movements along preventive lines if she wishes her children to\nbe healthy. And I have no hesitation in\nsaying, although T should have some difficulty In proving It (owing to the usually\nnd   unseen working of woman's\nindirect  and   un\neffort Is usually\n.'tetterment of effort* In this.air*.\ninfluence), that a woman's\nto the '   '\"  l -* \"\"\"'\ntlon.\nAs to decency, here again Is undoubted\nreason for women's active citizenship work.\nThe modesty and nurlty of onr children,\ntheir freedom from whatever would contaminate, is so near and dear a desire to\n- mother's heart that without any urging\n-   ....  _>_._ ._.\u201e  mointcnnn\u2122  of de-\n...\u2014,., ._.____ knows how.    She would like\nsaloons and their attendant deteriorating\ncency, if she\n.aiOOIIH  mm   \u25a0,,\u00ab_\u201e   _...\t\ninfluences  out of her  children's  and  her\n\u2014-   -\\-rht     She   would   have   degrading\nShe would\nBut   alas,   _   ._.\u00ab....,. _   \t\neverything. It is expected of the home-\nmaker to do certain things In the home;\nto keep It clean, to serve wholesome food,\nkeep children healthy, train them ln honor, purity and decency.\n\u25a0How far can a woman go in these directions? She can do all her own part, but\nhow ls she going to hinder outside influences from making her part useless?\nShe can keep her own house clean; but if\nshe has dirty neighbors, the air they\nbreathe will be polluted. She can cook\ntheir food well, but If dealers are allowed\nto sell poor food, unclean milk, and keep\nfoods exposed to dirt on streets, she cannot make food wholesome.\nShe can do all she alms to keep her\nchildren well, hut If the school is unsanitary, and epidemics abound through\nreasons that might have been prevented,\nher efforts are In vain.\nShe can try to keep her hoys and girls\npure and good and modest, but If saloons\nare permitted on every corner, ana indecent posters In frequent sight, and bad literature circulated, and degrading places\nof amusement attended, she will find it\nno easy task.\nAnd so on through almost all that pertains to the home. The mother's best\nwork 1. made of no avail if she lives in\na neighborhood where wrongs are allowed.\nThe true mother and wise home-maker Is\nshe who, not content to sit with her knitting In a corner by the fire, cornea out and\n*vi__o ur.,.ki__ together with her neighbor,\nh.._.\nown   sight.    o,it   ..\t\nshows of any sort prohibited,\nhave  all   the   evils   nttendant  upon   racetrack betting,  gambling, etc.,   swept  for-\nregion  of  her home.    And\nfrom  the\nif she feels thus, In all righteousness and\nfairness she should have the paramount\nsay in what so nearly concerns her boys\nand her girls. This ls her right. \"Nothing\nIs politically right that I. morally wrong.\"\nEducational Phase.\nIn her second sphere of activity as citizen, I have placed religious and educational advantages, and these are already\nso much a woman's concern, that one need\nnot dwell. If women's work In the church\nstopped there, so also would the church.\nAnd if mothers did not help with the les-\nwho   would?     We    will   have  well\nsons, who   woum:      _c -\nequipped schools and efficient teachers just\nln proportion as we educate the taxpayers who pay for them.

The census of 1890 gave Portland a population\nof 90,000 and Seattle 80,000.   Portland\nfeels that everything depends   on retaining in ithe lead.   Seattle is extremely anxious to get   the first place and\nshow that ita publicity agents did not\ngo astray in their glowing estimates.\nHence the appeals   which have been\nmade to the dwellers in both cities to\nstand up   and be counted.     While tne\nenumeration  was being   made eviry\nSeattle street car bore a huge placard\nreading \"Help Seattle.   Be sure you we\ncounted In the census.\"   The chamber\nof commerce had several stands built\naround town with men at them to hand\nout   census   blanks   and   take   (!_wn\nnames. Portland rose to 'the eB.,_rfi_ mcy\nby holding public meetings where eloquent speakers said that the .rlsi _ was\nupon the city.  There was so much delirious enthusiasm that the Omi.t-nian\nfelt warranted in announcing that the\ncitizens of   Portland   had the wl.l to\nJoin forces \"for any issue that ir._ans\nthe city's growth and progtMas. or for\nrepelling any influence that would injure   its foremost place.\"   \"It l_ lo be\nhoped.\" declares tbe Chicago   Tribune,\nln commenting on the rlvahy,    that\nneither city has resorted to l-addine in\norder to gain   the     coveted foreiut-st\nplace.    Cheating of that kind, if practiced on an extensive scale in qi.U'kly\ndiscovered and is followed by a recount\nmade   by   enumerators   who cai   he\ntrusted.  Whichever city com. s out in\nthe lead, the other will be sure to jc'se\na cry of fraud and insist on a rwount.\nCitizens of Portland and Seattle    ..ill\nnot speak when they meet.

They were not sufficient to prevent the extreme Nationalist\njournals from. continuing to pour odium\nand contempt on the authorities, and \"the\ngovernment may perhaps be blamed for\nnot having used more freely the powers\nwhich they possessed to put a stop to\nthese  abuses.\nPlaying With Fire.\n\"Sad experience has now shown that\nthe attitude of silent contempt does not\nsuffice In Egypt. It Is possible, though\nnot, i fear, probable that those who have\nbeen engaged for the last few years in\nstirring up the evil passions of the Ignorant and credulous may at last perceive\nthat they are playing with tire, and endeavor to mend their ways,\n\"If this should not turn out to be the\ncase, It will become necessary to apply\nthe press law with greater severity than\nheretofore.

The declaration taken by the late king was as follows:\n\"I, Edward VII, do solemnly and sincerely, in tbe presence ot God, profess,\ntestify and declare that I do believe in the\nSacrament of the Lord's Supper there is\nnot any transubstantlation of the elements\nof bread and wine into the body and blood\nof Christ at or after the consecration\nthereof by any person whatsoever; and\nthat the Invocation or adoration of the\nVigin Mary or any other saint, and the\nsacrifice of the Mass, as they are now\nused ln the Church of Rome, are superstitious and Idolatrous, and I do solemnly,\nin the presence of God, profess, testify,\nand declare that I do make this declaration, and every part thereof, in the plain\nand ordinary sense of the words read unto\nme, as they are commonly understood by\nEnglish Protestants, without any evasion,\nequivocation, or mental reservation whatsoever, and without any dispensation already granted me for this purpose by the\nPope, or any other authority or person\nwhatsoever, and without thinking that I\nam or can be acquitted before God or\nman, or absolved of this declaration or\nany nart thereof, although the Pope or\nany other person or persons or power\nwhatsoever should dispense or annul the\nsame, or declare that it was null and void\nfrom the beginning.\"\nIt la contended that there are clauses\nln the above oath insulting to Roman\nCatholics and mute unnecessary even in\na specific disability against a Roman\nCatholic ever occupying the throne.\nThe \"Bishop's Oath.\"\nOn the ona hand representative Roman\nCatholics are urging a change, and Orangemen declare tbat until the bishops of the\nprovince of Quebec refuse to take the\noath which, it is alleged, they now assume, no government should cater to any\nplea for changing the terms of the accession oath. They say that so\nlong    as    the    Church    of    Rome    re-\n3ulres her bishops to take an oath that\nenles the supremacy of the king ln civil\nmatters, she has no right to ask for any\nchange In the language of the accession\noath. The bishop's oath, administered in\na part of the British dominions, Is as\nfollows:\n\"That the Pope is the true and only\nhead of the Catholic universal church\nthroughout the earth, and that by virtue\nof the keys binding and loosening given\nto his holiness by tho Saviour Jesus Christ\nhe hath power to depose heretical kings,\nprinces, states, commonwealths and governments, all being illegal without his\nsacred affirmation, and that they may be\nsafely destroyed. Therefore, to the utmost of my power I shall snd will defend\nthis doctrine and his holiness' rights and\ncustoms against all usurpers, especially\nagainst the new pretended authority of\nthe Church of England, and all adherents\nIn regard that they and she he usurpal and\nheretical opposing the sacred mother\nChurch of Rome. I* do further declare\nthe doctrine of the Church of England, of\nthe CalvinlHts, Huguenots and of others\nof the name of Protestants, to be damnable, and they themselves are damned,\nand to be damned that will not forsake\nthe same. I do further declare that I\nwill help, assist and advise all or any\nof his holllness' agents In any place ln\nwhich I shall lie in England, Scotland\nand Ireland, or in any other territory or\nkingdom, and shall come to and do my\nutmost to extirpate tlie heretical Protestant doctrine and to destroy all their pretended power, legal or otherwise.\"\nIn some quarters, however, it is maintained that this oath Is not now taken.\nThe man standing to one side, who is\nnot extreme, would doubtless agree with\nRoman Catholics and then with the Protestants In saying that if the king's oath\nIs offensive to Roman Catholics, the alleged bishop's oath Is offensive to the\nking   and  to  Protestants.\nPrincess Ena's Oath.\nProtestant representatives are also\nquoting the attitude of Rome toward rulers outside of the British kingdoms. Before consent was given to Princess Ena's\nmarriage, she had to renounce the Protestant faith and take the following obligation :\n\"I likewise undoubtedly receive and confess all other things delivered definitely\nand declared by the Sacred Canons and\nGeneral Councils, and partlculnry by the\nHoly Council of Trent; and I condemn, reject and anathematize all things contrary\nthereto,   and   all   the   heresies  which  the\nPURITY FLOUR\n;W\n:\/r>\nft t *\u2022  *   f;4. __V?_I\n.\u2022:;_>\u00bb.-rt^ \"**\u2022    .\u2022____\u00a3((??*<*.*i*!*\\\nUse it for\nbread, pies,\ncakes, biscuits,\n~ . everything\n0W\n<8*f .',:;.,\u2022:\u2022;).,!\nit\nmil si\nIfeiii\nJHEAT\nt.:;.:\nIt's the\nchampion\nall-purpose\nbrand.\nWestern Canadu\nFlour Mills Co,\nLimited,\nGEM THEATRE\nTONIGHT, SATURDAY\nOverture, Orchestra\nE.

Assurances have been given\nhy both that no encouragement will\nbe offered to the dalal lama In his\ngrievances against China, and England has assured Russia there ls no\nobjection to the deposed religious chieftain visiting the czar's capital.\nThis Thibetan question touches the\nfringe ot a big future problem\u2014how\nto deal with a developing China. For\nthe present the problem Is not urgent. For, reform talk notwithstanding,\nthere ls little more than chaos in the\nempire and the Chinese soldiers much\nprefer looting to fighting.\nThere is bad blood on the Chinese\nnorthern border between Russians and\nChinese even now, but neither side is\nready for an early conflict.

PETERS, Manager\nNo Other Nation Haa Relinquished ao\nMuch Territory as\nEngland\nEngland enjoys the reputation of being the greatest land grabbing nation\nIn existence and there \"r\u00ab many, even\namong lieges ot King George who, If\nquestioned as to which of the great\npowers was pre-eminent above all the\nothers for territorial greed, would be\nready to admit, If not to foreigners, at\nany rate among themselves, that it was\nGreat Britain. :\nThey would consol themselves as did\nSir George Reld. the new Australian\nhigh commissioner in London, with the\nreflection to which he gave utterance\nthe other day ln a post-prandial speech\nat Birmingham\u2014that if John Bull had\n(been guilty of a good deal of piracy\nand robbery in the matter, he, at least\nhad always robbed on an imperial scale\nthat there was nothing mean or sneaking about it, and that when John Bull\ndid lay hold of anything he trusted to\nProvidence to let him keep it.\nIt may possibly be news to Sir George\nReld and certainly to many of his fellow countrymen, also to their kinsfolk\nin the United States, that there ls no\nempire on the face ofi the earth that has\ndone so much in the way of voluntary\nrelinquishment of colonial possessions\nas Great Britain and it seems timely to\ncall attention to this fact in connection\nwith the much discussed withdrawal of\nEngland from Somaliland.\nThat Is to say the deliberate abandonment of a territory embracing about\n100,000 square miles, with an altogether\nunknown number of inhabitants of\nwhom several tens of thousands have\nbeen making common cause with the\nEnglish, relying on their continued\nfriendship and protection, but who are\nnow about to be left alone to face that\nmysterious rebel leader known as the\nMad Mullah.\nHer Vast Possessions\nThus, the Philippines once belonged\ntQ England, after having surrendered\nto the naval forces under the command\nof Draper and Cornish. The Spaniards\nwere turned out and. their fleets sunk\nand a work of reformation was Inaugurated, that speedily raised the archipelago to double its value. Then the English government found that emigrants\nwould not go there (because of the distance and so also on account of the\ntreachery of the climate at certain seasons of the year.\nA lew years later, Great Britain,\nwithout any pressure -being brought to\nbear upon her, deliberately and of her\nown accord, restored the islands to\nSpain, the latter undertaking to repay\ntbe money spent in public works and\nother Improvements. The amount was\nnever paid and remains owing to Great\nBritain to this day.\nCuba also belonged for a time to England. Havana was taken by an English\nfleet and army under Lord Albermarle\nwho extended his rule throughout the\nisland. But in spite of the Iobb of life,\nand the treasure that had ibeen expended in securing the Pearl of the Antilles,\nln establishing law and order and In the\nconstruction of public works and fortifications, it was restored to Spain for\nno other reason than that the administration in Downing street did not care\nto retain its possession any longer.\nI With regard to Puerto Rico, it is interesting to recall that England on one\noccasion offered Spain to give up Gibraltar in exchange for Puerto Rico and\nthat the proposal was declined at Madrid. Few people are aware that during the 100 years that elapsed after Sir\nGeorge Rooke's capture of Gibraltar,\nthe English government made no less\nthan six deliberate offers to restore that\nstronghold to Spain. On the first occasion Great Britain asked nothing In\nexchange for the fortress save the\nfriendly neutrality of Spain.\n| But King Philip's premier, Cardinal\nAlbernoi, was so intoxicated with hia\nsense of power, after having completed\nhis alliance with Charles XII of Sweden\nthat he proudly rejected the proffered\ngift. In Imagination he saw his friend-\nthe Stuart pretender already enthroned\nat St. James. When that was accomplished he would take the Rock of Gib-\nraltar or anything else he pleased from\nEngland. Charles XII's death, the destruction of the Spanish fleet by Lord\nTorrlngton of* the coast of Sicily were\nfollowed by the cardinal's own downfall.\nGibraltar's Surrender\nOne of the offers to surrender Gibraltar was contained In an autograph\nletter from George I to Philip V, which\nhears the date of June 1, 1721 and\nwhich is preserved in the archives of\nMadrid, while a copy of it is printed In\nthe journaU of parliament. Written in\nFrench, it runs as fiollows: \"I no longer\nhesitate to assure your majesty of my\nreadiness to satisfy you with regard\nto your demands touching the restitution of Gibraltar, promising to make\nuse of the first favorable opportunity\nto regulate this article with the assent\nof my parliament.\" Spain could not\nunderstand that with the sovereign and\nthe administration in London ready to\nrestore'Gibraltar to Spain there should\nbe any need of considering the national\nlegislature at Westminster in the matter and finally Insisted upon the Immediate restitution or war. The latter\nwas declared and in 1727 the Rock underwent an unsuccessful siege which\nlasted four months.\nYet In spite of the bravery of the\ndefence, Lord Townshend In the following year writing to the English envoy\nat Madrid In a letter of June 14, 1728,\npronounced: \"the unconditional surrender of Gibraltar very reasonable and\nexactly conformable to the opinion\nwhich you know I have always entertained concerning the place.\" He add*\nthat the popular feeling aroused by the\ndefence stood in the way Just then ot\nany such move.\nThe fifth offer to surrender Gibraltar\nwas made by no less a person than\nWilliam Wtt in 1767, when he directed\nthe British ambassador at Madrid to\noffer Gibraltar to Spain as the price of\n-Asaya-Neurall-*\nTHE    NEW   REMEDY   FOR\nNervous Exhaustion\nHeredity isone of the main causes\nof nervous exhaustion.

The quality of the\nleaf, so for as it was determined by\nthe season was better than In either\nof the two preceding years. The final\nweight of the crop had not heen ascertained when the report of the crop was\ncompleted, but it was expected that\nthe average yield would fall somewhat\nshort of the 1908 crop.\nTlie average produce per statute acre\nof cured tobacco ln the latter year was\n1200 pounds, a marked Increase on the\nprevious years.\nOhambrelain'B sii__nch and Liver Tab-\nleu assist nature In driving all Impurities\nout ot the system, Injuring a tree and\nregular condition and restoring the organ;\nof the body to health and strength.

A.\nLange, a retired and wealthy physician\ntoday corroborated the report that he\nhad fulfilled the chemists' dream of\nages in that he had discovered a simple\nchemical process of transmuting the\nbasest of metals into the finest silver\nand into gold, consequently he anticipates a drop in the price of the two\nstandards of money. Fumes from Dr.\nLange's transmuting furnace in his laboratory brought death to Charles G.\nDickinson, the New York banker, who\nhad come here to witness the operation\nand who,, before dying, according to\nDr. Lange pledged all tbe financial aid\nnecessary. It was Dickinson's death\nwhich attracted attention to tho secret\nof the laboratory.\nUpsets Theories\n\"My discovery is on\u00a9 which upsets\nall scientific theories\/ says Dr. Lange\nin the statement which was made public today. 'I have developed the process\nsought for ages which will revolutionize\nthe world within a short time, I have\ndiscovered the means of Increasing an\natom of silver by the Introduction of\nbase metal into 100 times its size and\nweight, the result being still pure silver of equal If not greater fineness. For\nfour years I carried the secret, it waa bo\n.great and so wonderful that I did not\ndare to believe it myself. Every 6>y\nfor years I demonstrated the wonderful\nprocess and spent thousands of dollars\nin equipment, I have taken base me*\ntals of four different kinds and success-\nf ully transmuted them Into silver of\nthe utmost purity and the product passed successfully the severest scrutiny\nof the 'best assayers in the country. I\neven sent specimens of the transmuted\nm etals to the United States mint and\nthe report came back that the substance was pure silver.\nProcess of Evolution\n\"My explanation of the process is on\nthe theory of evolution. I believe that\nevolution pertains to the inorganic as\nwell as to the organic things in this\nearth. After four years of experiments\nI decided to give the world the benefit\nof my discovery. I did not have enough\nmoney to exploit it properly and I interested Mr. Dickinson in it. He came\nhere to witness the transmutation. The\ntest was entirely satisfactory. Mr.\nDickinson was elated. He jumped to\nhis feet and Insisted on looking into the\nfurnace. The metallic Cases made him\nslightly ill, aggravating a weakened\ncondition of his lungs. He developed\npneumonia and died a few days later.\"\nWAS  ROOSEVELT'S  HANDY MAN\nEdward Alexander McNab of Calgary\nWas Through Africa With Teddy\nEdward Alexander McNab of Calgary\nenjoys the distinction of having been\n\"bandy man\" to Col, Theodore Roosevelt's hunting expedition when it started on its trip through Africa. A soldier of fortune himself Mr. McNab ha.\nhad a career almost as strenuous as\nthe ex-president. He landed in Calgary\nsix months after a series of adventures\nand misfortunes with the intention ot\ngetting a new start financially and ls\nnow connected with a local employment\nagency.\nHe has been up and down the Nile\ndozens of times and knows the heart\nof Africa as not many others know it.\nIt was because of this fact that he applied to Col. Roosevelt for the position\nof handy man for his party. Mr. Roosevelt's private secretary, Mr. Loeb, sent\nhim a courteous reply in which he said\nhe regretted tbat Mr. Roosevelt had\nalready made his arrangements and\nalso enclosed the letter from the Royal\nGeographical society which McNab had\nsent as a credential,\nHowever, McNab went from Port Soudan to Naples to meet Col. Roosevelt\nmissing him by two hours. He followed him to Zanzibar and was given the\ncharge of the hunting outfit on the trip\nfrom Mombasa to Nairobi, a distance\nof 280 miles. As he speaks five different dialects, he was well qualified for\nthe post.\n\"Roosevelt's trip was made a bed of\nroses,\" Bald Mr. McNab. \"It seemed\nas though everybody in Africa gathered\nthere at Mombasa to see him start.\nAmong those I remember being there\nwere an American millionaire named\nMcBean or Mcride, who owns a great\ntract of British-African land; Mr. Arnold of Arnold, Cheney and company,\nof Mombasa, also an American; Col.\nHays Saddler, director of the Soudan\ncustoms; Harry JohnBon, chief commissioner of British East Africa; Sub-\ncommissioner McLaren of Navashe and\nLamu; Lord Delemair of Nakoro; Lord\nand Lady Hendley, old Bast Africans\nand dozens of native sheiks.\n\"I liked Col, Roosevelt I think he\nmade a pleasing Impression on everybody. His son Kermit Ib a great little\nfellow, always joking and laughing. He\nwas very abstemious, and never drank\nany form of intoxicant.\"\nMr. McNab was 14 years In the British service in Africa three years ago\nreceiving the appointment of-superintendent of police in the Red Sea province with headquarters at Khartoum,\nDuring that time he guided many British army officers through Africa being\nparticularly familiar with tbat country\nfrom Mombasa to Lake Victoria Ny-\nanza and on the other side of the lake\nto . Entabbe, the capital of TJfeanda.\nAbout eight years ago when stationed\nat Kisunut en the shore of the lake he\nentertained Mr. Mason Mitchell, American consul at Zanzibar, when he was\non a hunting trip, A short time after-\nwards he took charge of a, safari or\nhunting expedition, used by Major\nPowell Cotton when the latter was\nmaking a trip through Centra. Africa.\nSubsequently he entertained Winston\n.Churchill at the same place when tiie\nlatter was ln that country ln search\nfor materials to write about.\nA TERRIBLE SUFFERER\nfor THIRTY-FIVE YEARS\nTreasurer of Caledonia Township says\n\"If it were not for \"FRUIT-A-TIVES'.

At that\ntime both natlonB occupied approximately the same amount of territory,\nabout 200,000 square miles each. The\ndensity ot population in France was\n134 to tlie square mile; in Germany it\nwas 113.\nIn the last hundred years the fertility of the German nation bas been so\ngreat that in spite of the fact that It\nhas sent more than 6,000,000 emigrants\nto tiie United States and millions more\nto other foreign countries, It has in-\ncreaesed ita homo population to 64,000,-\n000, nearly triple the number in 1800.\nDuring the same period the population\nof France, which has sent practically\nno immigrants abroad, has Increased\nhy less than ttftj\/ per cent.     And, it\nshould be remembered in spile of Alsace and Lorraine ,t.!ie territory of the\ntwo nations has remained practically\nthe same, approximately 200,000 square\nmiles each.\nAt present the density of population\nin tho German empire is 303 to the\nsquare mile. What that means mav\nbe grasped by considering that if the\nUnited States was as thickly populated\nas Germany is at the present time we\nshould have .00.000.000 people\u2014ten\nlimes our present population.
