Lawrence Tells of Importance to\nCountry of Work of Commission\non Conservation\n\"The important work before the commission of conservation is not yet\nrealized,\" said C. E. Lawrence, field\ncommissioner for the commission of\nconservation. \"It is the conservation\nof the natural resources of the Dominion and is divided under seven\nheads, agriculture, forestry, water, mining, etc. I am connected with the first\nnamed and my instructions are to interview a number of representative agriculturists In each district and learn\nfrom them what characterises their\nholding and methods in particular and\nthe district in general.\n\"I am keen to know the hindrance\nthere is to a full development of the\nagricultural industry and every interested person has the opportunity of\nBtatlng his individual opinion and suggested remedy to be laid berore the\ncommission appointed to take these\nmatters into consideration and find a\npractical solution. For instance the\ntitle conservation suggests the prevention of waste and to this end a systematic selection of seed, which the\ncommission will encourage, will go far\nto eliminate waste of labor and land\nby resulting ln a large harvest of superior grain on a smaller acreage.\n\"The proper care and distribution of\nmanure will prevent exhaustion of the\nfertility of the soil\u2014a serious state of\nthings which already exists in some\nparts where instead of conservation\nthe fertility of the soil needs restoration. Weeds and insects, too, cause\nwaste of crops and energy and in many\ndistricts the former have reached such\na state of luxuriance on roadsides and\nrailway tracks that their eradication\nwill cost treble what their prevention\nwould have done.\n\"No one knows better than the agriculturists the need of increased and\nimproved transportation facilities and\nthis opportunity of hammering at a nail\nalways hard to drive should not be\nneglected. One thing he may be assurer of a very sympathetic ear on the\npart of the commission.\n\"Remember I am not here to do tbe\ntalking\u2014the other fellow has to do\nthat\u2014and I know from experience at\nlast years conventions that you have\nin the surrounding country men who\ncan hold their own against all comers\nln any branch of the Industry.

The fruit, he said, wan\nlighter than last year in the south of\nthe valley but the Irrigated hay crop\nand cereals were excellent, both In the\nOkanagan and Similkameen.\nThere is a crop of peaches but\nin no case a record crop and I think\nthat prices Bhould rule very high,\" he\nsaid. \"I went to Orovllle, Wash., and\nfound that the conditions there did nol\nsurpass the Okanagan.\n\"In Grand Forks the conditions are\nas favorable as in any place I have\nvisited, the irrigation problem being\nsolved by pumping wlater from the\nKettle river by electricity.

MW, tuple\nKing tonight made the following announcement: V\n\"With a view to relieving the\/ situation as it has developed in the\/ Canadian west in consequence of the prolonged cessation of operations at the\ncoal mines in southern British Columbia and Alberta, an order in council\nwas passed by the government today\nproviding that on and after Aug. 7 the\nduties on coal will be removed on the\nsouthern frontier, west of Sault Ste\nMarie for consumption in British Columbia east of the 122nd meridian of\nlongtitude, and in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitobn.\"\nThe action taken by the government\nis bused on representations which have\nbeen made by the premierB of Alberta\nand Saskatchewan, by boards of trade\nand the authorities of the mining localities in provinces concerned to the\neffect that a serious shortage of coal\nin eastern British Columbia and lithe provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan and Manitoba is likely to result\nfrom the prolonged cessation of work\nin the various coal mines and that,\nsuch shortage will be liable to be the\noccasion of widespread privation and\npossible disaster among the Inhabitants\nof the provinces referred tb. In these\ncircumstances and having In mind the\nsituation as it developed in the Canadian west at the time of the threatened\nfuel famine four years ago, it has\nseemed right and conductive to the\npublic good that exceptional steps\nshould be taken to assist in bringing\nabout an avoidance of dangers which\nmight arise from a fuel famine.\nIt is stated in the order ln council\nthat the proposed remission of duties\nshall take effect on and after Aug. 7\nnext and shall continue so long as in\nthe opinion of the governor In council\nthe mines may, through lack of operation, fall to secure sufficient coal to\nmeet present requirements 'and for n\nperiod of two weeks after the passing\nof an order revoking the order which\nauthorizes the remission of duties.\nFrom this it will be apparent that if\nthe authorities between now and the\nclose of the present week, affect a settlement and work is to be resumed on\nMonday next, no remission of duties\nwill take place. On the other hand\nif work should not be resumed on Monday next, then practically all coal\nbrought Into the provinces of Manitoba,\nAlberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia will come In. free of duty for\nsuch time as the work, may not have\nbeen resumed at the mines and for a\nperiod of two weeks thereafter.\ni^\n;\u25a0'\nMANY  HARVEST   HANDS\nTORONTO, July 31\u2014It.

A plan for keeping cool, which has\nat least the attraction of novelty has\nJust been received here by Chief Detective Carpenter, in a letter from an altruist ln Liverpool, and although the\ncommissioners have been so busy that\nhe has not had time as yet to test it,\nhe bas passed it along for what It\nmay be worth. According to the Inventor of this scheme, all that is necessary for a cool night's rest, paradoxical as It may sound, is to cover one's\nself sufficiently. It is the method of\ncovering, however, that counts. For\na single bed the first requisite li a\nstick or heavy cord sufficient ln length\nto reach from the head to the foot of\nthe bed. This ts put in position over\nthe center ot the bed about 18 inches\nabove Its surface. From this are suspended newspapers sewn together falling over the edges of the bed to the\nfloor, forming a sort of tent-like structure. It is, of course, open at each\nend and should extend- to within about\n18 Inches of the head. Over the newspapers Is next spread a blanket or\nsheet and the cooling plant Is ready.\nThe Inventor claims that anyone sleep*\nlng under this cover will be kept cool\nby tbe continuous breeze moving from\nend to end caused by the difference In\ntemperature Inside and outside. On\nthe face of It tbe plan seems a little\nfanciful. But then there are plenty of\npeople who do not know that water\ncan be cooled tn a' dry climate by putting tn a porous jar and placing lt In\nthe sun.   Evaporation does the rest\nCivic Economies.\nWhen It comes to attempting economies of every and any kind. Montreal\nis second to none.

L. Borden has\nmade the following statement in regard to dissolution:\nDissolution of parliament came as a\ngreat surprise to supporters of the administration. They evidently knew no\nmore of the intention of the government than they knew of the reciprocity agreement up to Jan. 26 last. Apparently the government decided upon\ndissolution in a hurry or even in a\npanic, as they gave, no intimation to\nany members on both sideB of the\nhouse who were accustomed to spend\nthe week end with their families and\nwho left for their homes on Friday\nnight without receiving the courtesy\nof notice.\nWelcomes Appeal\nThe Liberal-Conservative party welcomes an appeal to the people upon\nthe great issue which bas been under\ndiscussion fn parliament. The president of the United States has more\nthan once emphasized the fact that\nCanada is today at the parting of the\nways. TheBe two ways lead in very\ndivergent directions. The choice of the\npeople will be fraught with momentous consequences to the future destiny\nof this country. It is right and just\nthat they should speak because an\nagreement rests upon the decision.\nWithout Supply\nThe government has dissolved parliament without prorogation, without\nsupply and without redistribution. I\nurged upon the government upon the\neighth day of March last their plain\nduty to hasten the taking of the census,\nto bring in a redistribution hill and thus\ngive to every part of the country its\nproper representation, and then to submit this question to the people. They\ndeclined to hasten the census, they\ndeclined to grant redistribution and\nfinally they have dissolved parliament\nwithout even asking the opposition for\nsupplies necessary to carry on public\nservices until a new parliament shall\nbe enabled to grant the same. Constitutional authorities are bound to\nprove tbat dissolution ought not .to he\ngranted without provision of necessary\nsupplies for the public service. We\nhave been ready to grant such supplies\nbut the prime minister during the present week announced In the house of\ncommons that under present conditions\nthe government would not even ask for\nthem Whenever supply has heen asked for during the present session we\nhave granted It without hesitation. In.\nMay last we granted without discussion\nnearly $40,000,000 of supply, being one\nfourth of the total estimates. This\namount wns sufficient to carry on the\npublic service up to Sept. 1 next. In\nall we have granted during the present\nsession five-twelfths of the total estimates without discussion in order that\nthe public business might not be interfered with or brought into confusion.\nBefore Honor\ngress in the work of nation building\nsince July 1,1887. That work has been\ncarried on without any such treaty or\nagreement as is now proposed. One\nwould suppose that the government\nmight have been content to wait six\nmonths longer in order that redistribution might have been accomplished\nand that supplies necessary in public\nfnterests might have been obtained.\nBut apparently the government placed\nthis agreement above all constitutional\nconsiderations. But more than that\nthe government placed this agreement\neven before Its own honor. In May\nlast the prime minister took cognizance\nin parliament to ascertain the charge\nwhich had heen made against one of\nhis ministers. He moved for a committee of inquiry, but he conferred upon that committee exceedingly limited\npowers of investigation. The committee met In May last but did not then\nbeing the actual work of Investigation. After tbe house of commons\nresumed its work on July 18 no steps\nwere taken until I inquired the cause\nof the delay. After some days a meeting of the committee took place, Tuesday, July 25 when witnesses were present in Ottawa who could have been\ncalled to give evidence. The Conservative members of the committee urged\nthat the inquiry should proceed forthwith; the government through its supporters on that committee, urged an\nadjournment until Tuesday, Aug. 1. An\nadjournment was pressed on the ground\nthat Mr. Carvell, one of the government supporters on the committee had\nnot yet returned. There were many\nother equally capable men available ln\nthe government ranks and his place\ncould easily have been supplied.\nPledge Violated\nMr. Melghen, one of the Conservative members asked for a guarantee\nthat parliament would be sitting on the\nfollowing Tuesday Aug, 1, so that the\ninquiry could then proceed. A guarantee was given and adjournment was\nthen agreed to. Tbe pledge thus given\nwas deliberately violated by the action\nof the government in dissolving parliament today. But apart from this\ndeliberate violation of a solemn pledge\nIt is a distinct breach ot constitutional\nusage, that parliament should be dissolved while one of Its committees waa\nengaged in the Investigation of charges\nwhich involved the honor of a minister, or the credit and fate of a government Such a course constitutes an\nalarming and dangerous precedent\nwhich would not for one. moment be\ntolerated tn the mother country. It\nwas the duty of the government to\nclose up those charges before appealing to the people and that could have\nbeen done in one week. Several witnesses summoned by the committee are\nin Ottawa ready to give their evidence\non Tuesday next. Tbat committee and\nall Ub powers of inquiry will be wiped\nout of exiBtence by tbe dissolution of\nparliament The course of tbe government in deliberately burying this inquiry on the eve of an appeal to the\npeople was an outrage and manifested\nin a most BtriKlng manner their utter\ncontempt of decent public opinion.\n(Signed) R. L. BORDEN\nSir Wilfrid's Address\nSir Wilfrid Laurier In an address to\nthe Canadian people says:\nTo the Canadian People\u2014At all times\nduring the last 40 years it has been\nthe constant effort of all political parties in Canada to make with the United\nStates an arrangement for the free exchange of natural products between the\ntwo countries. In 1854 Lord Elgin on\nbehalf of Canada and the Maritime pro\nvinces negotiated with the United\nStates a treaty for that purpose which\nlasted until 1866 and which, within the\nmemory of many still alive, was of\ngreat advantage. Even since tbe termination of that treaty all public men\nof any prominence In Canada, whatever their differences on other Canadian questions, have been unanimous\nIn any attempt to again secure this\nfree exchange of natural products, nor\nis this to be wondered at, Beelng that\nin the industries of agriculture, fisheries, lumbering and mining, Canada\npossesses advantages not enjoyed . by\nany other country on earth, and that\nupon the markets secured for products\nof these industries depends the growth\nof our manufacturing and commercial\nInterests, and the prosperity oi all\nclasses In the Dominion. The latest\nattempt of the Conservative.party to\nthat end was made by Sir John Macdonald himself, who dissolved parliament In 1891 for the purpose of submitting to the electorate of Canada\nthe expediency of his npproaching again\nthe American authorities for a renewal\nof the treaty of 1854.\nIn 1893 the intention to obtain reciprocity with the United States was\nmade a prominent feature of the platform of the Liberal party upon which\nthat party obtained power in 1896.\nRenewed In Vain\nAfter the present government took\noffice lt renewed in vain this offer to\nthe United States but meeting with\nno response declared that no further\novertures of this nature would be mode\nby Canada. Within the past 12 months\nthe president of the United States sent\nto Otttowa two commissioners from\nWashington for the purpose of opening\nnegotiations looking toward lowering\nof the tariff barriers which have hitherto atood In the way of a freer exchange, of commodities between Canada and the United States. These negotiations in January last culminated\nin an agreement between the two governments by which the duties of each\ncountry on such products might be\nlowered or altogether removed. This\nagreement was strenuously resisted in\nthe United States by various interests\non the alleged ground that It was all\nto the advantage of Canada and to the\ndetriment of the other country, but\n.the view that it waB mutually advantageous to both countries finally prevailed ln congress and the agreement\nstands today as an offer by tbe United\nStateB to Canada of that very measure\nof reciprocity which for more than 40\nyears has engaged tbe earnest and\nconstant efforts of every leading citizen and statesman. The present Conservative party in parliament seems\nabsolutely to reverse the life long policy of Its great leaders in fhe post,\ndeclaring that It will oppose to the bitter end the very principle enunciated\nby both Sir John Macdonald and Sir\nJohn Thompson in the last election addresses upon which each of these\nstatesmen ever appealed to the Canadian people. Not content to debate\nthis proposition upon its merits the\nConservative party in tbe house of\ncommons bas adopted a system of obstruction to prevent any vote being\ntaken ln parliament by which the opinion of your representatives there could\nbe expressed.\nDay after day when the presiding officer has tried to put the question he\nhas been met by diliatory motions, by\nendless speeches, by obstructive devices of every kind, each p'ut forward\non some specious pretext but in reality\nnothing else than to abuse the freedom\nof speech in parliamentary dgbate.\nSuch pretenses are simply a clumsy\nattempt to give some color to unwarranted and undignified obstruction. To\novercome that obstruction after a session which has already lasted eight\nmonths would not only mean the continuation of the unseemly spectacle\npresented by the opposition jn the\nhouse of commons since the resumption of Its sittings on the 18th inst.,\nbut would also mean weeks and months\nof wasted time and perhaps end In the\nclose for this season to the Canadian\nproducer of a free American market.\nIn this condition of things it has seemed to his excellency's advisers more In\naccordance with the dignity of parliament, with the traditions of parliament\nand with the traditions of those British\nInstitutions which all true Canadians\nvalue so highly and which tbe present\nopposition degrade with such a light\nheart, and with tbe best Interests of\nthe country as a whole to remit the\nIssue to the people themselves, so that\nthe people themselves may judge between tbe government and opposition\nand declare whether tbey have changed tbir mind or whether they are still\nln favor of reciprocity In natural products, and whether they will or will\nnot bave the American market for the\npromising crop soon to be gathered In\nCanada.\nThe issue, my fellow countrymen, Is\nIn your bands and to your decision bis\nmajesty's government lh Canada are\nwell content to leave it\nImperil British Connection\nIt has been alleged by tbe opposition\nthat this agreement if consummated,\nwould Imperil connection with the\nmother country, and finally bring the\nannexation of Canada to tbe United\nStates. It is impossible to treat such\nan argument with any kind of respect,\nif indeed it can be dignified with the\nname of argument, for if it has any\nPURIFIEDJIS BLOOD\nDr. Morse's Indian Root Pills\nHealed Mr. Wilson's Sores\nWhen the sewers of the body\u2014bowels,\nkidneys and skin ducts\u2014get clogged up,\nthe blood quickly becomes impure and\nfrequently sores break out over the body.\nThe way to Ileal them, as Mr. Richard\nWilson, who lives near London, Ont.,\nfound, is to purify the blood. He\nwrites:\n\"For some time I had been in a low,\ndepressed condition. My appetite left\nme and I soon began to suffer from indigestion. Quite a number of small sores\nand blotches formed all over my skin. I\ntried medicine for tlie blood and used-\nmany kinds of ointments, but without\nsatisfactory results. What was wanted\nwas a thorough cleansing of the blood,\nand I looked aliout in vain for some medicine that would accomplish this.\nAt last Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills\nwere brought to my notice, and they are\none of the most wonderful medicines I\nhave ever known.

FOSTER Managar\nTUESDAY, AUGUST 1\nTHE  QUESTION.\nN Now that the election is on it is\nwell for tbe people of the Kootenay\nand Yale-Cariboo, as well ss of British\nColumbia generally, to look the Issue\not the campaign in the face. That\nissue is reciprocity with the United\nStates. The American congress has\nalready endorsed the arrangement entered Into some months ago by representatives of the governments at\nOttawa and Washington respectively.\nAll that now is required to bring tbe\nthe arrangement into force is the passage of similar legislation by the Dominion government. After vainly trying to force this measure down the\nthroats of the opposition In the house\nof commons the government decided\nto appeal to the people on the question.\nIt is highly desirable tbat in the\ncontest which has resulted that people\nshould look at the issue from a broad\nCanadian standpoint. They should try\nto decide what is the best for Canada\n\u25a0 as a whole, and vote accordingly. In\nweighing the case the people of\nthe prairies should take into consideration the interests of tbe people of\nBritish Columbia and the people of\nBritish Columbia should try to judge\nthe matter from the standpoint o\u00a3 the\nfarmers of the prairies, and both\nShould try to guage how tbe proposed\npact will affect eastern Canada, while\nthe people of eastern Canada should\ncarefully consider the position of all\nsections of the west before passing\nupon the matter. Not only this but all,\nthe people of both the east and west,\nshould give earnest thought to the effect that the proposed pact will have\non Canada's1 future and on imperial interests.\nBut in trying to take Into consideration the interests of other portions\nof the Dominion, the people of any\none  district should not overlook the\nsituation as it affects their particular\nsection, for it must be remembered\nthat the people of Canada are now\nbeing called upon to elect members to\nrepresent them In parliament and ln\ntbat capacity to pass upon reciprocity.\nAn earnest effort should be made to\nelect men who, while knowing the\nneeds of their respective districts, are\nbroad enough to take Into consideration other sections of the Dominion\nwhen dealing with what Ib undoubtedly the most important question which\nhas come before the Canadian people\nsince confederation. These men must\ngo to Ottawa with a clear mandate\nfrom their respective constituents\neither In favor of or opposed to reciprocity.\nThe questions for tbe people of\nKootenay and Yale-Cariboo, as well as\nthose of British Columbia generally,\nto decide are whether any other portion of Canada will benefit sufficiently\nthrough reciprocity to justify them In\nvoting for men to go to Ottawa to support an arrangement tbat Is manifestly detrimental to the interests of this\nprovince and whether tbey approve a\npolicy which means the development\nof closer relations between Canada\nand the United States, possibly with\na resultant lessening of interests between Canada and tlie mother country.\nThese are the questions which the\npeople of British Columbia must\nanswer on election day. What will\nthat answer be?\nImproved Ranches\n58 Acres on West Arm\nOn the West Arm between\nNelson and Harrop we have a\nfirst class property of 58 acres.\nThere Is a splendid orchard in*\neluding about 600 apple trees,\nmostly bearing; 160 cherry\ntrees, about half bearing; also\nover 100 pear, quince and peach\nA good many of these trees\nare 8 years old and the youngest 4 years.\nThis property Is well looked .\nafter and given the proper at*\ntention consequently the fruit\ntrees are healthy and making\ngood growth.

There are at\nleast 6 acres cleared and about\n300 fruit trees planted mostly\n6 years old and doing well.\nBesides the fruit trees there\nare 4,000 small plants principally strawberries. The house\nis a email frame ln good repair. Water Is piped to the\nhouse and also laid through the\norchard making Irrigation Tery\neasy.\nThis is a cheap buy, the\nprice being\n$2,500\nless than 1100 per acre, Improvements and all. Terms ,\nare also easy: $500, the balance\nln small payments every six\nmonths. Let us show yon the\nproperty.\nMcftuarrie & Robertson\nRail Estate and Insurance\n41* Ward St. Nelson.\neach of the parties was acting.     It'\ncleared up some cloudy points.\n(Guelph Herald.)\nMr. Borden and his followers in opposing reciprocity realize full well that\nthe ratification of the agreement will\nnecessarily mean future agreements,\nall tending to complete commercial\nunion. The opponents of reciprocity\nIn the United States are'fully seized\nwith this fact, and regard the struggle\non tn that country aB a struggle between the principle of protection and\nthe principle of free trade.\n(Edmonton Journal.)\nIt must grieve those supporters of\ntbe government who have had so\nmuch to say about the support it has\nbeen receiving over its trade policy\nfrom the organized farmers of the\nwest to learn that the agricultural\nunions of the Edmonton district held\na meeting the other day to consider\nthe advisability of placing a farmers'\ncandidate in the field against the' minister of the Interior. Evidently something more In the way of accession to\nthe farmers' demands Is required than\nthe government considers it has\ngranted by its actions ln playing into\nthe part designed for it In Mr. Taft's\ntariff program. Besides there are\nother things as well as tariffs that tbe\nfarmers are interested in.\nEDITORIAL   NOTES.\nThe Daily News respectfully commends to the careful perusal of the\npeople of Kootenay and Ynle-Cariboo\nthe interview given by Mr, James J.\nHill of the Great Northern railway at\nSt. Paul tbe day that reciprocity passed the American senate,\nTaft couldn't wait and so Sir Wilfrid Laurier brought on the election\nwithout waiting for a redistribution,\nwhich would bave given British Columbia her proper representation in\nthe next parliament.\nTwenty years ago, or in1 the election\nof 1891, unrestricted reciprocity, or\ncommercial union with the United\nStates, was the policy of Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier. Apparently he has not\nchanged bis views but for political\nreasons he does not now dare to go\nso far in Mb open declarations as he\ndid then. This reciprocity arrangement of his, however, Ib but the thin\nedge of the wedge toward a realization of hiB old dream of ..commercial\nunion.\nThe announcement that the council\nhas made another purchase of city debentures, this time to the extent of\n$40,000, giving a total of $70,000 worth\nbought back this year, will be welcome\nnews to the people of Nelson. The difference between the interest which\nthese debentures bear and the interest\nwhich the bank allows on the city's\nsinking fund will make a nice, tidy\nsaving to the cify.\nThe other members of the school\nboard bave refused to accept Dr.\nArthur's resignation, so that the matter of a 'by-election between him and\nDr. Jones Is apparently disposed of.\nThis being so, The Daily News would\nrespectfully urge that all the members\nof tbe school board make an effort to\nget together and conduct business in\na little more seemly way than has prevailed during tbe past few months.\nWhy should not Canada work out\nher own destiny, trade and otherwise,\nuntrammelled by any entangling alliance with tbe United States, the ambition of a large portion of whose\npeople is the ultimate absorption of\nthe Dominion?\nPress Comment\n. (Lethbrldge Herald.)\nSome of the papers are howling that\nthe board of trade conferences at Macleod ln its efforts to settle the strike\nwas futile. The Idea is wrong. No\none expected that the situation, which\nhaB had the consideration of a capable\nconciliation board for nearly three\nmonths, could be definitely decided by\nany gathering in a few hours, The\nmeeting did at lot of good In that it\nbrought out and showed the public\nthrough their representatives at tbe\nmeeting the exact ground   on   which\nThla Is to certify that I have used MIN-\nARD'S Liniment in my family for years,\nand consider It the best liniment on the\nmarket I have found lt excellent for\n\u25a0horse flesh.

S.\nFASHIONS AND FADS\nTlie parasol is an accessory that is\nbecoming more and more firmly established In fashion's favor, and the newest ones are in the fetching balloon\nshape that lias just- come over from\nParis.\nA few years ago all mourning millinery was supposed to look as If It had\njust come from a funeral. Nowadays\nsome of the prettiest of all the hats\nare to be found in the mourning millinery   collections.\nSeparate skirts are strictly tailored,\nand those that do not show the panel\neffect are either cut'perfetcly plain,\ntrimmed only with stitching, or bave a\nslmuated tunic effect, obtained by the\nuse of bias bands,\nThere is not particularly much tp\nsay about the new shapes of hats displayed by Paris modistes. A new sailor\nshape, with rounded crown on top and\nbroad brim has lately made its appearance, trimmed solely with a five-inch\nbias band of velvet, neatly affixed on\nthe left side with a bow and turn-under of velvet. These hats, generally\nwhite with some vivid colored trimming, have a band of straw to match,\nthe garniture enframing the brim\nabout a couple of Inches in breadth, and\nwill make pretty morning and seaside\nhats, shady and smart or chic and serviceable at the same time.\nSummer wraps and cloaks of all\nkinds are more than usually good this\nyear, and they run the gauntlet from\nthe severest and most conventional of\ntailored dust coats to the most fantastic of little mantles and short coats.\nThe reversible coat, which was an unusual thing at the beginning of tbe\nseason, is often seen now both in satin\nand in wool and has Its practical value. The woolen models are invarlbly\nof two-faced cloth, such materials being supplied In great variety and beauty by the foreign manufacturers. The\nreversible coat of satin Ib made both\nin the double faced satin and In satin\nof one color lined with satin of contrasting color, the latter being, of\ncourse, considerably the warmer of\nthe two and therefore less satisfactory\nfor hot weather purposes.\nDouble-faced 'fine broadcloth is\nlovely too in white and color. In\nplace of black satin, which used to be\nextremely fashionable for long coats.\nFrench makers now often use various\nBhades of light blue, taupe, bronze\ngreen, raisin, etc.\nSemitransparetot long coats of colored marquisette or chiffon embroidered In self color or bordered by self\ncolor satin or velvet are good looking\nwhen worn over white or harmonizing\ncolors, and one of tbe novelties of the\nseason is the lingerie long coat, whose\nfine foundation is usually almost hidden by insert laces and embroidery,\nSome of the summer wraps touch\nthe floor, while others are diminutive affairs that are merely thrown\nover the shoulders. Usually the material is transparent, or, if not transparent, so 8oft,thln and limp that lt\ngives the suggestion of transparency.\nTawny brown is a favorite color for\nhandsome wraps for wear over smart\nafternoon frocks. LaBt summer brown\nwaB aB dead as a last year's fashion\nmagazine. Brown linens and foulards\ncould be picked up for a song. Brown\nln a garment costing over three figures was unheard of. But now all the\nbrown shades are back in high favor\nand the choice ranges from buff down\nthrough mustard, tobacco and wood\nbrowns to a rich seal.\nWhat In the springtime promised to\nbe a fad has developed into a fashion.\nThis is the taffeta coat which Is worn\nwith plain and striped skirts. It is\nusually of a vivid color, either solid or\niridescent. The skirt Is usually in\nwhite serge or lingerie. The coats are\nin all the fruit reds, in the purple of\ntbe plums, in leaf greens and tobacco\nbrown. It Is an attractive idea for\nthe woman who has a separate white\nskirt and does not wish to get a short\ncoat tbat can be worn only aB a part\nof a suit.\nThe tunics are becoming longer as\nthe season advances, and in some\ncases nearly reach the hem of tbe underskirt. Beneath these tunics at\ntinges a kind of quaint cuirass of old-\nlace may be descried, with the upper\nportion of the corsage and enwrapping\nmuslin bias folds of three shades or\ndifferent colors matching those of the\ndresa, or they are turned back with a\nrevers of lace and edged with a narrow line of velvet.\nThere Is a decided preference for\nevening gowns of gray, the shades be*\ning, of course, those that are at best\nIrrigated Orchard Land\n35 acres close to railroad, water piped right through land.

The necessity for getting the larger part of the crop moved\nInto the consuming centers before the\nclose of navigation is pretty fully realized. This Is the principal work that\nkeeps three trans-continental railways\nbusy in the autumn.\nThe Canadian banking system has\nbeen specially designed to meet such a\ncondition as will shortly manifest itself. The right of note Issue equal to\nthe paid up capital Is accorded the\nchartered banks without any requirement of reserve, confidence being\nplaced in each banking company's appreciation of the need of retaining absolute trust and keeping well within\nthe limits of safety. There is Indeed\nbeyond this a provision for an emergency issue to be retired within a\nspecified length of time should the\nnecessity for it occur.\nThe Dominion makes no charge for\nthis privilege of note issue further than\nthe requirment that a large proportion\nof bank reserves be held In Dominion\nlegal tender redeemable notes. When\nthe west makes a very great demand\nfor Its crop movement It may mean\nwithdrawal by the banks of a considerable amount of accomodation from\nthe ordinary trade channels. Only\nonce, in the year 1906, a great crop\nyear, was there any difficulty In meeting the situation. It is remembered\nthat in that year men of standing with\nperfectly   sound   contracts even from\nThis Great Historical Picture Should Be in\nEvery Canadian Home\nI\nFounders of the Dominion\nSize 19 by 25 inches, suitable for framing.\nThe Illustration above unfortunately gives very little Idea of the\nclearness and beauty of the fine reproduction we offer.\nSir John A. Macdonald, Canada's great statesman, stands In a\ncharacteristic attitude in the foreground. Grouped around him are\nHon. George Brown, Sir Oliver Mowatt, Sir Charles Tupper and the\nother famous Fathers of Confederation. Evidently they are discussing the terms on which the weak and scattered provinces shall unite\nto form one great Dominion, the 44th birthday of which we celebrated on July 1st.\nThe different faces are clearly shown and the attitudes are na*\ntural and lifelike. On the panel below are printed the names' and\na few facts about each, the whole forming a very valuable and complete record.\nAll the members of this great group have passed away with the\nsingle exception of Sir Charles Tupper, but their work lives after\nthem.\nThe Art Store Price Is About $2.50\nFor a picture of this class.\nThe Dally News has been able to secure a limited number for its\nreaders and while they last will supply them\nFor Only Ten Cents\nand six coupons from The Daily News.    When ordered by mall 15\ncents must be sent, the extra five cents being to cover postage.\nschool boards and municipalities were\nobliged to (throw them) up through\nfailure to get the banking accomodation tbey required.\nSince that year Canada has grown,\nthe west has grown, and the banks\nhave grown. Let ub glance at the\nchanged situation.\nIn the Canadian west there are\n357,000,000 acres of land known to he\ncapable of producing wheat and other\ncereals. Five years ago less than 50,-\n000,000 acres had been sown with\nwheat, and the total cutivated lanci\nfor all purposes did not exceed 10,000,-\n000 acres. This season of 1911 10,200,-\n000 acres have been sown with wheat,\n4,678,000 with oats, 1,160,000 with barley, and 751,822 acres with flax\u2014a total In grain crops alone of 16,779,822\nacres; the acreage In roots and cultivated grasses ts 263,491\u2014a grand total\nunder cultivation of 17,043,317 acres.\nThe acreage under- cultivation has\ntherefore increased rapidly, more especially In view of the scarce population; hut comparison should be made\nwith the land still to be cultivated\u2014\nnearly 340,000,000 acres.\nNotwithstanding this small area of\ncultivated wheat land in comparison\nwith the possible whole, the wheat crop\nof the Canadian west is admitted to\nbe one of the leading factors in the\nworld, and therefore the most valuable\nfor mixing with the inferior wheats.\nThe present season is one of great\npromise, and, if fulfilled, the Canadian\nwest will have for shipment out of\nthe country, It Is claimed at least\n160,000,000 bushels of wheat, besides\n45,000,000 bushels of oats, 12,200,000\nbushels of barley and 7,736,00 bushels\nof flax. Five years ago the exportable surplus of wheat was 65,849,940\nbushels, while oats and flax were not\nexported to any great extent.\nThe value of the wheat crop five\nyears ago was $61,711,299; for 1910 it\nwas approximately $19,350,000 (final re\nturns are not yet in). At tbe price of\nOctober wheat on June 15 tbe crop now\ngrowing, if reaped under favorable\nconditions will represent a value of\n$176,500,000, that Is, 200,000,000 bushels\nat 88% cents. For the handling of the\nwheat crop millions of dollars are annually distributed to country branches\nof the great chartered banks, which\nform a complete network over three\nwheat-producing  provinces.\nTo store and move the wheat crop in\nthe west Is a gigantic task, and Involves an enormous amount of capital.\nIt is estimated that at least 60 per cent\nof the crop should be moved to the\neastern terminals and seaboard before\nInland navigation closes for the year.\nFive years ago It required 47,000 cars\nto move this proportion, this year it ia\nestimated that 145,084 cars will be required, and that each car will travel\nan average of 750 miles after It Is\nloaded before it reaches the head of\nthe Great Lakes. These figures give\nsome idea of the investment of the\nrailways In rolling stock for the movement of wheat alone.\nThere are 1,870 elevators In the prairie provinces, with a total storage capacity of 59,227,300 bushels, representing an investment of $15,991,371 for\nbufldingB alone. At the head of the\nlakes there is a storage capacity of\n25,700,400 bushels, which cost $9,196,-\n140 to erect. The Investment therefore for (Interior and lake terminal\nstorage Is $25,187,511.

Hill  Pleased.\nJust how the average American regards the proposed reciprocity arrangement 1b shown hy an interview\ngiven at St. Paul by James J. Hill of\nthe Great Northern Railway the day\nthat reciprocity passed the United\nStates senate. This interview was sent\nout In the form of a despatch, which\nreads as follows:\n\"James J. Hill, chairman of the\nboard of directors of the Great Northern Railway company, following the\npassage of the reciprocity agreement\nby the United States senate, declared\ntonight, ln effect, that this country\nbad profited more by what it had\n'prevented than by what it had gained.' In the passage of the measure\nthe venerable railroad builder saw\ntbe last vestige of what he Is pleased\nto term an 'Imperial trade federation'\ndisappear before the march of an un-\ntrammeled market,\n\"It Is not what we have gained by\nthe reciprocity treaty that Is most important, but what we have prevented,\"\nsaid Mr. Hill. \"In the comment on\nthe treaty, when it was pending, nearly every argument for it spoke of the\ngood lt would bring\u2014and it will bring\ngood.\nImperial  Federation.\n\"But the good that it will bring Is\nonly the smaller consideration of the\nquestion. What would have happened\nif we had not passed the treaty? There\nwould have been a revival of a move\nfor Imperial federation and if we had\nrefused to trade with our good neigh-\nbora we should have been very sorry\nfor it, for the opportunity was before\nus to make a favorable agreement with\nCanada and It would not have been\nbefore ns again for many years.\n\"That Is why I say that while the\ntreaty will mean much good for both\nthe United States and Canada\u2014and I\nbelieve it will stimulate trade on both\nsides and that it will not be long before every one will see Ub benefits and\nsee that the wise tning to do was to\nact favorably upon- It.\n\"There Is not the slightest doubt\nthat the situation was such that had\nthe vote in the senate heen against it\nthe report would have gone over the\nworld and would have stimulated activity elsewhere for obtaining trade\nthat we are in the beBt geographical\nposition to handle and in England It\nwould have meant the beginning of\naction for such Imperial trade federation as would nave shut us out.\nNot Hurt Canada.\n\"Will it hurt Canada? Not a bit of\nIt. It will be of great benefit to\nCanada. There never was any more\nreason why there should be a line of\ncustoms houses along the northern\nMinnesota border and Montana border\nor the border of eastern Canada than\nthere Bhould. be between Minnesota\nand Wisconsin or New Tork and Pennsylvania.\"\nKNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS MEET\nDETROIT, Mich., July 31--Knights\nof Columbus from all parts of the\nUnited States, Canada and Mexico are\narriving in Detroit for the first event\nof the' long program to be carried out\nat the national convention of the order\nwhich is to be held here this week.\nEcru mouBBellne de sole has superseded white for separate collars and\ncuffs.\nANOTHER SATURDAY\nFORGERY WORKED\nA.
