B. G. SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL 8. 1911\nIS\nText  Suggested   for   Local\nClergymen.\nIMPROVEMENT\nASSOCIATION BUSY\nWard Committees Point Some\nEyesores in City\u2014Rem-\nidies Are Suggested\nAt a largely attended general meeting\nof the Nelson Improvement association,\nheld In the hoard of trade rooms laBt\nnight, a number of the committees In\ncharge of the various wards Into which\nthe city has been divided for the purpose of greater convenience In the\n\"cleaning up\" and beautifying program\nwhich are the aims of the organization\nreported, pointing out many spots in\nthe city which needed attention and\nmaking a wealth of valuable Bugges\ntions as to remedies; bylaws wore\nAdopted; a special committee drew up\nrules and regulations for the planting\nof shade trees;1 April 25 was definitely\ndecided upon as the date for Arbor day;\nthe matter of requesting the clergy of\nthe *ity to bring the question of improving tho city before their congregations on the Sunday before Arbor day\nwas again brought forward by George\nHorstead, who suggested that sermonB\nmight be preached on the text, \"Clean-\n'Iness is next to Godliness,\" and a gen-\nal discussion upon ways and means\n__ok place. J. E. Annable, pi-esldent,\nwas In the chair.\nJ. A. Irving reported that the mayor\nhad suggested that the handling of the\ntrees be left In the hands of the committee. His worship also promised that\nthe council would give every assistance\nIn their power toward cleaning up the\ncity on Arbor day, and that the city\nengineer would also give such assistance to the citizens as he could.\n\u25a0'\u25a0\u00bb Bylaw, Adopted.\nR. K. Eeeston, who was appointed to\ndraw up bylaws for the association,\nstated that he had heen assisted In the\nwork by W. B. Farrls. He read the\nbylaws to the meeting. They were\nadopted on motion of W. Rutherford,\nseconded by W. J. Devitt.\nfhe chairman, announced that the\nshade trees had been shipped from\nVernon on April 3. They would, he\nsaid, be laid down here at 50 cents\neach and would probably arrive on\nMonday or Tuesday next.\nW. R. Jarvis, A. Treglllus and J. W.\nHolmes were appointed to take charge\nof the trees on their arrival here.\nIt was suggested by tbe president\nthat free trees should be given only to\nmembers.\nLet Trees Grow High.\nMayor Selous said that, with regard\nto the handling and treatment of the\nShade trees, a glance at the trets already planted would show that they\nhad all been headed at a height of from\nfour to seven feet; In fact, he did not\nthink any were as high as seven feet.\nIn Spokane the minimum height permitted was 10 feet, and he thought\nthat 12 feet would not be one whit too\nhigh for cropping off Norway maples.\nAt present the custom In the city was\ncertainly to cut them too low. He suggested that before the trees were distributed they should be cut to straight\nwhips so that they would then grow to\nabout the right h'lght Rules sl'culd\nalso be drawn up telling the citizens\nnot to cut their trees down toe short\nhut to head them as high aB possible.\nOn Arbor day It might be possible to\narrange that the trees already growing\ncould be topped off so that the\nbranches would not be as low and cause\nso much Inconvenience as they did at\npresent during wet weather. It needed\nsome one with - a hard heart and a\ncrosscut saw, to do this work. If. the\nlimbs were not lopped off now it might\nhe left till too late. He thought the\ntrees should be planted 30 feet apart.\nHugh W, Robertson suggested that\n-one resident in each block should be\nappointed to stake out the positions\nfor the trees.\nRules for Tree Planting.\nMessrs. Jarvis, Rutherford, Beeston\nand Horstead were appointed to draw\nup regulations for the planting of trees,\nwho reported as follows:  >\n\"The committee strongly urge that\n-such trees shall be planted as nearly\nas possible 20 feet apart That the residents of each face of every block combine together to promote regularity of\ndistance, etc. (The distance from the\nlot line allowed by the bylaw is 12 1-2\nfeet) Trees should be headed not less\nthan 10 feet. Existing trees should, as\nquickly as possible, be pruned to the\n\u2022same height. To stop the bleeding of\nthe sap after pruning the cut should be\ncovered with a small application of\npaint. The holes should, If possible, be\n'dug before the trees are delivered, and\nthe holes should be at least three feet\nin diameter and worked to a depth of\nat least two to two and a half feet.\nTrees should be well watered and\ntramped In when planting.   The trees\ncan he obtained at the Fair building\nImmediately after arrival, of\" which notice will be given in The Doily-News.\nNo trees can. be delivered unless application has been made to the secretary, J. ,H. Lawrence, and duly approved.\"\nThis report was adopted and ordered\nto be printed.\nPlant Trees From Iowa.\nW. Z. Devitt reported that the committee appointed to look after his ward\nhad received a great deal of assistance\nfrom the city engineer in planting out\ntrees. A number, brought from Iowa\nand called \"the tree of heaven,\" had\nalready been put in.\nJ. A. Irving said that while he did\nnot think a great deal of boulevardfng\ncould be done this season yet, the trees\ncould be planted and the boulevardlng\ndone later.\nSuggests Center Street Boulevards,\nA. T. Walley said that In his district\na great many trees had already been\nplanted. The suggestion had been made\nthat as In some placeB, especially in\nthe vicinity of Silica street, where the\nearth on the streets was unsuitable for\ntrees, soil might be taken from Baker\nstreet. Mr. Walley also brought foi'tn\nthe Idea that on such broad streets as\nSilica and Carbonate a boulevard might\nbe planted down the center of the highway. There would be plenty of room\nfor rigs to pass on either Bide of the\nboulevard, he said.\nOn motion Hugh W. Robertspn was\nadded to Mr. Walley's committee.\nPuts Finger on Objectionable Spots.\nJ. W. Holmes, for division No. 2, recommended that the city council bu\nasked to lay a new crossing for the\nbenefit of passengers from and to boats\nopposite Quong Wing Chong's store; to\nremove a dump of garbage on Edge-\nwood avenue and that the scavengers\nmake regular rounds and remove refuse\nfrom alleys free of charge. Further,\nthat some planks in front of Mr.\nBrand's residence on Edgewood avenue\nhe removed, and that all ashes be removed from In front of residences.\nHe reported that a very large number\nof people in his district were considering the planting of trees. The rubbish\non the lots on Baker street east of the\nEagle block had received a great deal\nof criticism and would be taken up\nagain. Another matter taken up had\nbeen that a \"bee\" should be formed to\nclean up some eight C. P. It. vacant\nlots near the recreation grounds.\nSome More  Rubbish Found,\nE. K. Beeston, for division No. 5,\nsuggested that a system similar to that\nwhich had proved very successful in\nCalgary be adopted and that stumps on\nthe streets he removed; that an ice\nheap left -,J\u00aby the p,kattng - rink be\ndrained; that the charge for the use oi\nwater for gardens he abolished; that\nthe school hoard urge upon children\nthe Importance of leaving trees nnd\ngardens undamaged, and that the old\nplanks In the sidewalks in the district\nbe replaced. In a newspaper clipping\nfrom a Calgary paper which he read; li\nwas stated that some 100 rigs were\nprovided for carrying off refuse and\nthat the police were empowered to enforce the cleaning up^ of garbage.\n.1. A. Irving mentioned that .M. R.\nMcQuarrle had suggested that ihe association appoint a special park committee, nnd this step will probably bt;\ntaken at the next meeting.'\nCondition   of   Waterfront.\nW. Rutherford, for the waterfront\ncommittee, said that lt had been found\nthat a great deal of work had to hi\ndone in that district. At the bank at\nthe foot of Ward street some levelling\nmight be carried out and some of the\nCottonwood trees which' had broken\nlimbs needed trimming. Lower down\nwere a number of stumps which were\nan eyesore and might lie thrown into the\nlake. Near the railroad track, the city\nhall, the marble works and the sash\nand door factory Improvement was also\nnecessary. Just behind the city hall,\ntoo, were two unoccupied shacks which\nshould be attended to. Then oil a city\nlot near the Kootenay Ice & Fuel company there was piled up a lot of old\nlumber. The city should have that\nhurued. Below the ice company's place\nthe C. P. R. had dumped a lot. of old\nties that should be removed. The new\nwharf needed painting and the launch\nclub's old piles needed cutting off, while\na number of boathouses needed a coat\n'>f paint. Tie old C. P. R. float, too,\nwas In nn unsanitary condition and the\ncompany should be asked to move it\nffway. In front of A.

There are now 25\nsmallpox patients confined in the Isolation hospital suffering from a mild type\nof the disease. Dr. Bell, provincial\nhealth Inspector, severely condemns\nthe chin health officials and the board\nof health and says that If steps to control the outbreak are not taken the\nwhole city will be quarantined.\nForty lodgers have been quarantined\nin one apartment house, where two\ncases were discovered.

Prepares to Handle\nIncreasing Traffic.\nWILL BE LEVIATHAN\nOF INLAND WATERS\nTo Be Constructed at Local\nShipyards\u2014Plans Sent\nto Winnipeg,\nIn order to accommodate the tourist\nand general traffic of Kootenay lake\nand the west arm, which has been Increasing so rapidly during recent yearB\nand which Is expected to become of\nstill greater volume with the opening\nof the new tourist hotel at Balfour\nabout the middle of May, the C. P. .R.\nhave decided to build a new steel boat\nfor operation between Nelson and Kootenay Landing.\nThe new boat will in many ways be\nan improvement upon the latest of the\nleviathans of inland waters, the steamer\nBonnlngton, which Is now being completed at the Nakusp shipyards for use\non the Arrow lakes. Plans of the new\ncraft for Kootenay lake service were\nforwarded to Winnipeg yesterday by\nCaptain J. C. Gore, superintendent of\nthe British Columbia inland lake and\nriver service, for consideration by the\nexecutive officials of the company.\nUntil they have been passed no definite\nstatement can he made as to the exact\nconstruction of the boat. She will,\nhowever, be built at the local shipyards.\nSize of New Craft.\nIn size she will be 200 feet long and\nwith a beam of 39 feet The present\nlargest boat on Kootenay lake fs the\nKtiskanook, which has a length of 183\nfeet. The new boat will be fitted with\ntandem compound condensing engines,\nwhich are expected to effect a great\neconomy In fuel, and she will have berth\naccommodation for 160, with an accommodation for upward of 1,000 persons on her three passenger decks.\nSpecial Observation Cabins.\nA feature of the new craft will he the\nspecial observation cabins nt the fore\nand aft The latter will be specially\nreserved for ladies and both will be so\nconstructed that nn uninterrupted view\nof the glorious passing scenery may be\nobtained.\nThe boat will have a speed of from\nIS to 20 miles per hour and will he,\naltogether, the most modern stern-\nwheeler of the build on this continent.\nORDER RESTORED\nIN PRINCE RUPERT\nBuilding   Extension   to  Jail   to   House\nPrisoners\u2014Strikers Will  be  Deported\nPRINCE RUPERT, B.C., April 7-\nThis morning law and order is recog\nuized in Prince Rupert again. With 50\nof their leaders in jail, the striker\nhave disbanded.\nAll night the streets were patrolled by\ngangs of special constables armed with\nrifles and revolvers. The strikers' heud-\nquarters have been closed hy the police\nand the books confiscated. Mclnnes &\nKelly, on whose work yesterday's battle\nwas fought, are working a big, gang\nof strikebreakers today and on several other contracts where the men\nquit, work Is again going on.\nThe men under arrest will be arraigned before Magistrate Carrs this\nafternoon on a variety of charges. A.\nO. Morse the leader of the mob will\nbe charged with conspiracy and inciting to riot. Others will be charged similarly. So crowded is the Jail that an\narmy of workmen are building an addition to it\nAt' a citizens' meeting last night it\nwas agreed to rally to arms at a given\nsignal under command of Chief of Police\nVickera but It is thought there will be\nno more rioting. \"The strike Is ended\"\nis the remark heard everywhere. There\nIs only one Anglo-Saxon under arrest.\nHe is W. A. Fraser but he Is not suspected of causing trouble. He will likely be released today.\nWhatever strikers are convicted will\nbe promptly deported on the expiration\nof their terms say the local immigration authorities. The official list of\nthose wounded in what is humorously\ntermed the battle of Kelly's is as follows: Sergt Phillipson, shot over the\nleft eye by striker slight wound; George\nLeek, special constable, badly bruised\nhy rock thrown by striker; W. A. Casey,\ncivil engineer, shot In right band by\na striker; Nick Pavitch, striker, shot In\nstomach by police and seriously injured, he may die; Diaz Bulavlch, striker,\nshot In upper left arm, now in jail;\nMike Sevokovltoh, striker, in jail with\nshot through left shoulder; S.

Mackenzie King\nbearing on the strike situation in British\nColumbia, and southern Alberta, die\nsaid that unless either the operators or\nminers applied for a board of conciliation under the Industrial Disputes act\nbetween now and Monday next the government proposed, in order to give the\npublic all the available Information to\ninstitute a searching Investigation on\nits own behalf. Although the minister\ndid not say so definitely, this doubtless\nmeans that the government will appoint a board or a commission on its\nown behalf to conduct an enquiry. The\nminister said that a situation never contemplated under the act had arisen, because of the fact that this was the first\nstrike in which neither party had made\na request for a board.\nReplying to a question by Mr. Rhodes,\nthe minister said that it would not be\nwise for him to express an opinion as\nto the merits of the dispute, but the\ngovernment was determined in the in\nterests of the public to get all available\ninformation on the situation.\nGlen Campbell of Dauphin in replying\nto an assertion of the minister of agriculture that the Conservatives were\nafraid to face a vote on the main iBsue\nof 'the reciprocity agreement, placed\nhimself on record as being unalterably\nopposed to the government's proposal.\nHe said that he spoke as a farmer desirous of representing the best interests\nof tbe farmers and the Dominion. Mr.\nCampbell asserted that Messrs. Mackenzie and Henderson of the Manitoba\nGrain Growers 'association, were agents\nor otherwise of the Liberal party of\nCanada. ;\nAt the evening sitting the debate on I\nthe reciprocity resolution was continued\nby Dr. Cash of Mackenzie, who supported the agreement ai \u25a0 by Clarence\nJames of Digby who opposed lt.\nStatement on Strike\nIn reply to a question by Major John\nHerron, the minister of labor made a\nstatement bearing on the strike situation in southern British Columbia and\nAlberta which included the important\nannouncement that unless one side or:\nthe other applies to the department fori\na hoard of conciliation between now and\nMonday next the government will pro-|\nseed to make a searching inquiry on j\nits own behalf. The minister said that j\na situation never contemplated under!\nthe Lemleux act had been reached!\nbecause of the fact that this was the\nfirst strike in which neither party have\nmade a request for a board In order that\npublic opinion might be brought to bear]\non the matter. This circumstance leads I\nto the suspicion that neither side is\nanxious to have the public fully informed as to the points in dispute. The\nminister noted that if either operators\nor miners apply for a hoard both sides\nwill be entitled to name one member\nof the board.\nGovernment Investigation\nIf they do not, they will be deprived\nof this right While It was a matter\nof great urgency the minister thought\nthat in view of the fact that a new\nmanager had heen named for the\nCrow's Nest Pass Coal Co., It would be\ndesirable to wait for a few days to see\nwhether he, In conjunction with other\noperators, would take any steps in the\ndirection of bringing about a settlement of tho strike. If they do not and\nno action is taken by the miners themselves in the direction of moving for a\nboard, both parties concerned would\nhave to take the consequence of a\nsearching investigation Into the whole\nmatter by the government.\nReplying to a question by Mr. Rhodes\nthe minister said it would not be wise\nor advisable for him to express an opinion ns to the merits of the dispute, but\nthe government was determined to act\nIn the interests of the public and to get\nall available information hearing on\nthe situation, Mr. King gave the house\ndetails of the steps which have been\n(Continued on Page Four.)\nSCENES OF ANGUISH\nAT PIT'S MOUTH\nScores of tives Snuffed Out in Pennsylvania Mine Disaster\u2014Bodies\nRecovered\nSCRANTON, Pa., April 7\u2014One of the\nmost serious mine disasters which has\never visited this section of the mining\ncountry, occurred today at the little village of Throop, a short distance from\nthis city, when the lives of between\n50 and 60 men and boys were snuffed\nout. Among the known dead are Jos.\nEvans, who was In charge of the\nUnited States mine survey, Isaac Daiwe,\na fire boss and iWnlter Knight, a foreman. Evans' death was the result of\na defective oxygen charged armor.\nA crowd of about 5000 1b gathered\nnear the mine. The hysterical cries\nof the women and children is appalling.\nThey sobbed nnd cried during the day\nbut when the first body appeared under\nthe light of torches at the mouth of\nthe shaft they lot loose their pent up\nfeelings In a torrent and screamed de-\nsparingly. Many of them had to foe restrained from doing themselves violence aud others fni****\u00bbd. It was stated\nat the mine that al! the bodies will be\ntaken out by daylight\nTO\nWill Co-operate in Management of Strike,\nMINERS EXPECT\nEARLY VICTORY\nNo\" Action Toward  Invoking\nLemieux Act\u2014Renovation Work Controversy,\n(Staff Correspondence.)\nFERNIE, B.C., April 7\u2014Today's devel\nopments contain no intimation of a\nnearby settlement of the strike in the\ncoal fields of Alberta and the Crow's\nNest Pass, and a straight fight between\nthe Western Coal Operators' association\nand district 18 of the United Mine Workers of America is now apparent, with\nboth sides concealing their hands. Be-|\nhind the 0000 members of the United\nMine Workers of district 18 is the full\nforce of the International organization\nand by the end of next week the representatives of the international board nre j\nexpected to arrive here and take tbe\nreins. There will he at least two representatives and the district executive\nboard rather expects three, Including\nprobably Prank Hayes, vice-president of\nthe organization, a young labor captain\nwho has been very successful In negotiating agreements. It is not expected\nthere will be another meeting of the\ndistrict executive hoard till after the\narrival of the international representatives and the district officers and board\nmembers are out covering the territory\nand confirming the various locals in\ntheir faith.\nOperators Are Silent\nThe executive board of the operators'\nassociation has sedulously kept its own\ncounsel since the session at Frank on\nTuesday and absolutely nothing hasi\nbeen given out by Lewis stockett, president of the association, who, though <\naccessible to the district officers, has\nnot been accessible to the newspaper1\nmen. Mr. Stockett left Hosmer this'\nmorning eastward bound and specula-!\ntion connects his trip with the approach I\nof W. R. Wilson, who is on his way\nfrom Toronto to become operating man- j\nager of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co., \u25a0\nand who is expected here tomorrow. '\nJohn Rogers, son of the president of\nthis company, Ellas Rogers, will also\narrive in the near future to fill anf\nexecutive position with the company.    |\nNo Meeting\nSo far as known no Immediate ses-j\nsion of the operators' executive board,\nis on the tapis, but Uf necessary one\ncan be called at a day's notice. NO\nwritten communication has passed from j\nthe executive board of the operators toi\nthe mine workers' executive board since i\nthe date of the strike, April 1, though'\nMr. Stockett aud A. J. Carter, secretary!\nof the district have negotiated over the |\nlong distance telephone. The action of!\nthe operators' executive hoard taken at'\nFrank has yet to be interpreted, Presl-j\ndent Stockett at the time giving out!\nthat the operators stood on their last j\noffer at the Calgary conference. Other:\nboard  members intimated for publica\nI\ntion that this meant the offer of arbltra-j\ntion.    Another theory now presents itself, that what the offer meant was a\n5.55 per cent advance in wages.\nNew Scale in Force\n\"The point should be made perfectly\nclear,\" said James Ashworth, retiring\n.operating manager of the Crow's Nest\nPass Coal Co., today, \"that the operators are now paying, and have paid since\nApril 1, a new scale involving a 5.55\nper cent raise to all the men now working In the mines on maintenance work.\nThe new scale is now in force at all\nthe collieries in the Western Coal Operator's association. I think if this fact\nwere known lt might influence the men\ngenerally In the direction of returning\nto work. ThlB Information has not been\nconveyed of course to the mine workers'\nexecutive board. What have we to do\nwith the executive board? The operators have simply communicated the notice to their own men in the usual way,\nthrough the superintendents of the collieries.\"\n\"If this Is the \"last offer\" referred to\nby Mr. Stockett, presumably the operators' association Is willing to concede\nthe Increase of 5.55 per cent on the old\nday wage scale and on contract prices\n\"except pillars and timbering\" and demands the clause providing that the operators shall not discriminate against\nunion men and that, the union shall not\ndiscriminate against non-union men.\nInternational Backing\nMr. Ashworth expressed the view that\nthe hacking of the international board\nwas over rated by the newspapers.\n\"Will $3 a week from the strike fund\nsupport a man in this country?\" he asked, adding, \"It is not even -real money,\nbut provisions. We are not told what\nit 'Will be. Perhaps red herring.\"\nDuty on Coal\n\"Not more than 5.55 per cent increase\nwill be given under any circumstances,\"\ncontinued  Mr, Ashworth, \"and if we\nhave to give more then the price of coal\nwill go up. The reciprocity agreement\nhas raised the duty on coal from 40 to\n45 cents and if enacted we will have\nthat added burden. As it is, we have\nserious enough competition in our principal market, which is across the line.\"\nDenies Report\nIn Indicating his very unflattering\nopinion of the newspapers, Mr. Ashworth gave unqualified denial to the report, which nevertheless haB the widest\ncurrency, that under Mr. Wilson the\nCrow's Nest Pass Coal company Is likely\nto withdraw from the operators' association and deal with its men directly.\nMediation Proposal\nWith a protraoted period of idleness\nin sight, the wisdom of suggesting mediation is being earnestly debated In\nFernle. In the Fernle board of trade a\nproposal has considerable support, for\nail the boards of trade of the coal field,\nincluding both sides of the provincial\nboundary line, to join in advising the\nparties to get together. This proposal\nIs opposed by a majority of the council\nof the local board.\nW. G. Barclay, president of the board\nsaid today: \"Personally 1 am opposed to\ninterfering so long as neither side\nwould welcome our Intervention, if the\nstage arrives when either side invites\nour intervention, we stand willing to\ngive every assistance in our power.\"\nAttempt Falls\nJohn Podbalancik, locally known as\nthe \"king of the Slavs,\" apparently favoring a compromise that will permit\nearly return of the men to work, today\ncalled a conference that was designed\nto include Mr. Ashworth, as representative of the Crow's Nest Pass'Coal Co.;\nW. B. Powell, president of district IS,\nas representing the mine workers, and\nas independent parties, President Barclay of the board of trade, and Father\nMichel and Father Meissner, two of\nthree priests in the Catholic parish that\nincludes Fernle, Coal Creek, Hosmer,\nMichel and Coleman. Whether Mr. Ashworth was notified is not known, but\nthe last three named were, President\nPowell being on the prairies. This \\\nrather pathetic attempt to bring about I\nan end of the strike naturally failed.'\nTho priests of the parish named are I\nspiritual advisers to nearly half the j\nstriking mine workers of district 18.1\nRenovation Work\nAll being now warfare the district\nexecutive board has replied to the re-!\nfusal of the operators' executive to ne-'\ngotlate an agreement respecting reno-;\nvation work in the mines, by Issuing al\ncircular to all the local unions in the\ndistrict, advising the members to refrain\nfrom accepting employment on such\nwork until advised by the district of-;\nficers to do so. This move will be Felt |\nby some operators whose collieries aro\nin need of such work. Secretary Carter\nhas returned from Hosmer where he investigated the situation as to renovation\nwork, some 20 men having been put\nat track laying in the mine. The^local\nunion there met last night and decided\nto follow the advice of the district board j\nIn this matter.\nExpects  Early Victory\nSumming up the situation tonight.\nSecretary Carter said: \"I do not believe\nthe strike will be of long duration.\nWhen the operators realize the strength\nthere is behind us, they will be ready\nto seek a compromise, We demand the\nadvance of 12 1*2 per cent and the continuance of the present arrangement as\nto shop. Under no circumstance will\nwe arbitrate and if we are forced Into\nIt, under the Lemleux act, we will let\nthe case go by default. If the advance\nIn wages means that the price of coal\nwill go up, let ll go Up.

B, Lanigan Talks of Importance of Union.\nUNFAILING MARKET\nIN PRAIRIE CITIES\nC. P, R,  Official Sees Big\nFuture for Fruit Growing\nIndustry in Kootenays.\nThat n union on cooperative lines is\nthe only method for successful marketing of fruit is the opinion of W. B.\nLanigan of Winnipeg, assistant freight\ntraffic manager of the western lines of\nthe C. P. R. Mr. Lanigan is in the city\non a tour of Inepectloti, arriving Thursday night from the west He will be\nla Nelson today, leaving for the east\non tomorrow's Crow boat.\nAt the Stratheona last night he said*\n\"f am very glad to see that so much\nadditional land has been placed under\ncultivation since my last visit to the\nKootenays. I think that there is a very\nprosperous future ahead of the industry In this district and It is beyond\ndoubt that Nelson will he the commercial center of fruit growing In the Kootenays. The rapid development that Is\ngoing on, especially up the west arm\nof Kootenay lake, Is simply astonishing\nand it is very pleasing to note the excellent class of settlers this district Is\nattracting.\n\"The great advantage enjoyed hy\nfruit growers in British Columbia is\nthat they have a never-falling market\nin the prairies right at their doors.\nThis is a market which, with the rapid\nIncrease In settlement in Albert'-., Saskatchewan and Munltobn, they need\nnever fear will be overflooded. The\ngrowth of population in the prairies will\nalways exceed as far as demand for\nfruit fs concerned the greatest possible\nproduction of British Columbia ranches,\nfor the simple and very obvious reason,\nthat the available land here Is very\nlimited.\nUnion Is Forward Move.\n\"I am very glad to see that a fruit\ngrowers' union has been inaugurated\nhere, it Is a move in the right direction and I am confident that It will\nultimately prove a success. A union or\nsome other form of association is absolutely the proper method of marketing\nfruit: it not only Insures the most successful and profitable, selling of the\nproduct but also insures the proper\ngrading, packing and shipping and\nstorage In the refrigerator cars for Its\njourney to the wholesaler. Naturally a\nunion can enable its memberB to obtain\nbetter piiees for apples and small fruits\nwhich are properly packed and shipped.\n\"I would urge upon fruit growers In\nthis district not to be in any way discouraged If they do not find their efforts to sell as a body Immediately successful. A union may not he a paying\nproposition right away hut it can not\nfall to ultimately prove a great success.\nUrges Support  of  Growers.\n\"In California, In Washington and In\nOregon the growers have found that\nthey can only achieve the highest success by selling as unions or associations and In a few years the ranchers\nof the Kootenays will have the same\nvaluable knowledge, and better still,\nwill. I hope, have a successful union\nthrough which to market their produce.\nI sincerely hope that every grower In\nthe district will support the new union.\nThe Ot P. R. Is prepared to do all in\nits power to forward the plans of the\norganization as we expect to see the\nKootenays a very large producing center within the next few years.\"\nPORT ARTHUR HARBOR\nRESUMES BUSY APPEARANCE\nPORT ARTHUR, Ont, April 7.\u2014The\nfirst passenger boat from the east is\nexpected here a week from Monday,\nbeing the Hamonlc of the Northern\nNavigation company.

In consequence of which values\nhave risen gradually from $1500 to\n$2000 per acre and lt is considered good\nbuying at these advanced prices by\nshrewd and experienced dealers in acreage. The south shore of lake Burnaby\nis undoubtedly destined to he one of\nthe choice residential spots of Greater\nVancouver, where values will steadily\nimprove. Vegetation Is rank and the\nfortunate ideal home seeker who secures his settlement beside the peaceful waters of this beautiful lake will\nbe envied in the future. Already In anticipation of the early opening of the\nnew electric line many new homes are\nbeing added and more contemplate\nbuilding as soon as the line Is in operation, which is only a matter ot a tew\ndays now. When it is remembered that\nthis district is but 20 minutes from\nthe centre ot the city via the new route,\nwith its many superior advantages over\nother districts ot a similar distance,\nsome Idea as to the future of this district may be gained. Many new roads,\nsidewalks and other municipal improvements are also under way which when\ncompleted will put lake Burnaby south\nin the first ranks of Greater Vancouver's rapidly developing suburbs.\nFor three years we have steadily advised all our clients to Invest\nbetween Burnaby lake and New Westminster. We stated repeatedly\nthat values were too low compared with South Vancouver, North\nVancouver and other districts.\nValues have steadily advanced with the growth of New Westminster, but during the last three months everything in the locality has\nalmost doubled in value.\nThis is no boom by real estate agents, but Is caused'by the Immense amount of development taking place everywhere.\nThe greatest factor is the hew B. C Electric line from Vancouver to Chilliwack via Burnaby lake. This line will be opened In a few\ndays and will be the scenic air line between tbe cities. No grades,\nfast palatial cars, and the rush to secure homesites on beautiful lake\nBurnaby and Deer lake between the cities Is bound to send prices skyward,\nWe are just putting on a new addition of 300 lots adjoining New\nWestminster city limits.

The\nmost important of the resolutions to be\ndiscussed is that prepared by President\nW. E. Finlay of the Montreal lacrosse\nclub, who proposes to reduce the length\nof the field to 100 yards between goals\nand the teams to ten men each. By\nmaking a uniform distance and by limiting the distance behind goals In which\nthe ball may be played, Mr. Findley\nhopes to see a game developed that mill\nappeal more strongly than ever to the\nspectators. The chief argument advanced in favor of the proposed reduction\nin the number of players is the saving\nof salaries. At its annual meeting the\nunion also will consider a proposal to\nmake the term of office of the president,\ntwo years instead of one year. Another\nsuggestion to be brought up is the proposal that the National Laeross union\nrevert hack to field captains.

G.  FOSTER Manager\nSATURDAY, APRIL 8\nWHAT OUR NEIGHBORS ARE DOING\nElsewhere in this issue is reprinted\nenough of the speeches at a recent\nevent in Lethbridge to show what our\nneighbors are doing for the development of tbe natural resources of their\npart of the country.\nSo much attention has been directed\nto the natural resources of southern\nAlberta, to its wheat lands, Its Irrigated lands, its coal and its natural gas;\nso many powerful agencies are at work\nbringing in settlers and capital, that\nfurther effort on the part of the various\ncities in that territory might with some\nexcuse be regarded as unnecessary. But\nthey do not so regard it themselves;\nthey look upon expenditure wisely directed to that end as good business\npolicy.\nIt will be seen that Lethbridge\ngiving from the city treasury for the\ndevelopment work of the board of trade\na lump sum of $6,000, and in addition\none dollar for every dollar to be raised\nby the board.\nIt will be observed that this sum is\nto be devoted mainly to the building up\nof the surrounding country as the surest\nand best means of building up the city.\nIt will further be noticed that It is\nrecognized that a union for this work\nof all the cities, towns and districts\nof southern Alberta is recognized as\nsomething far more conducive to good\nresults than individual, separate action\nby each board of trade.\nLethbridge and Southern Alberta, in\nbrief, are doing what The News has re-\nMlnard's L.nlment Co., Limited.\nGentlemen,\u2014My daughter, 13 years old,\nwas thrown from a sleigh and injured her\n\u00ablbow so badly that it remained stiff and\nvery painful for three years. Four bottles\nOf MINARD'S LIXIMlflNT completely\ncured her and she has not been troubled\nfor two years.\nTours truly,\nJ. B. LTVKSQUE,\nSt. Joseph, P. 0., 18th Aug., iwu.\npeatedly urged that Nelson and the\nKootenay should do.\nThe case in favor of such action is\nmuch stronger and more urgent here\nthan there. There are not in the Kootenay powerful land settlement agencies\nat work such as are in evidence in\nsouthern Alberta; there are not here\nthe powerful financial agencies at work\nwhich have done so much to interest\ncapital in the irrigation works, natural\ngas borings, (manufactures {and coal\nmines of that district. For these reasons, Lethbridge and southern Alberta\ncould much better afford to dispense\nwith a strong development propaganda\nThey do not dispense with it because\nthe capable men who are so rapidly\nbuilding up there wealthy and populous communities realize that to dispense with such work would be false\neconomy of a very costly kind. They\ndo not intend to loose their share of\nthe men and money flowing into western Canada\nHere we do-nothing. If it is proposed\nto do anything we are told that it would\ninjure the workingmen. To such heights\nof intelligence rise some of our cfvic\nguides.\nFor this inaction the city council has\n\u2014rightly as The News thinks\u2014been\ncriticised. In frankness tbe criticism\nmuBt be extended still further. What\nare our land men, our mining men, our\nreal estate men doing, in the way of\nunited and organized action covering\nthe whole district whose development\ncontributes to the growth of Nelson?\nWhat is ibeing done through such organizations to stir up the transportation\ncompanies to do the work they ought\nto do, and are not doing, for the bringing in of men and capital to develop\nour natural resources?\nHeaven\u2014and man, too,\u2014helps those\nwho show some disposition to help\nthemselves, and who thus afford some\nindication that the help given them will\nbe adequately utilized. While we have\nno great land colonization or financial\ninterests here, yet the aggregate\namount of capital invested in our lands,\nin our urban real estate- and in mines\nwhich lack development for want of\nmore ample funds\u2014is very large, so\nlarge that a small annual assessment\nwould provide means for effective work.\nIf those who are more directly and immediately interested in these things do\nnot show sufficient capacity, energy\nand enterprise to form organizations\nand to carry on united work, they are\nhardly in a good position to criticize\nothers whose interest in the matter is\nless immediate and obvious.\nLet us have a good strong land settlement organization and a good strong\nmining organization, each covering\nthe whole district and each carrying\non vigorous work. They will find support and co-operation in various quarters where It Is now lacking.\n^~~\nCLEANLINESS IS\nNEXT TO GODLINESS\n(Continued from page one.)\nIronworks and other warehouses was a\nlarge amount of debris which ought to\nbe cleared up. Another unsightly place\nwas a lane off Front street, going down\ninto Chinatown, where a lot of wood\nwas Btored. Mr. Rutherford concluded\nthat on the sawmill side of the track\nthere was a lot of waste paper which\nmight cause a bad fire. Under the\nWood-Vallance warehouse there was\nalso refuse, and he thought the launch\nclub should be asked to discontinue the\npractice of throwing empty cans into\nthe water.\nAfter Business Streets, Too.\nSecretary Lawrence advocated the\ncleaning up of the business streets of\nthe city. On the west side of Ward\nstreet, for instance, was a great deal of\nwaste paper. Mr. Lawrence also\nbrought up the matter of refuse lying\nin lanes behind offices. He thought\nthat the attention of the city officials\nshould be drawn to both matters as\nwell as to the dumping of ashes on\nvacant lots, and the Indiscriminate\nplacing of dodgers on lawns.\nAt the suggestion of Mr. Rutherford\nthe secretary was asked to write to the\ncity council regarding this question of\nscavenging.\nMessrs. Irving and Beeston expressed\nthe opinion that the attention of the\ncity should be drawn to all cases within its scavenging province.\nThat an attraction committee to\nbring to the attention of visitors such\nbeauty spots as Cottonwood park\nshould be appointed was the suggestion\nmade by Mr. Annable.\nThe next public meeting of the association will be held on April 21.\nAmong those present were: J. K\nAnnable, In the chair; J. H. Lawrence,\nsecretary; J. A. Irving, George A. Hunter, W. Rutherford, W. J. Devitt, W.\nR. Jarvis, E. Wilkinson, George Horstead, A. W. Nagle, J. W. Holmes, E.\nK.

He read a\nreply received by him to his telegram\nasking the miners to do what they could\nto prevent a strike in which It was\npointed out by W. B. Powell, and other\nofficials of the union that the miners\nwere anxious to comply with the spirit\nof the act but that the operators had\ndeclined to meet them half 'Way.\nOn receipt of this telegram the minister communicated -with Mr. McNiven,\nthe official of the department now In\nthe west, asking him to make every effort to get the matter referred to a\nboard of conciliation. Mr, McNiven replied that the circumstances in the way\nof his accomplishing anything immediately was that the international executive of the miners was dealing with\nthe matter in Indianapolis and might\nbring the strike to a termination. Mr.\nKing then communicated fwlth the international executive board ashing what\nits attitude would be.\nThe executive's reply was to the effect that the matter of wage contracts\niwas under the control of the officials of\nthe district affected by the strike, that\nthe executive favored the aettleraent of\ndisputes by arbitration but that lt did\nnot consider that the cessation of opera\ntions as brought about in the present\ninstance constituted a strike under the\nterms of the act\nThe minister on Monday last wired\nMr. McNiven to point out to the parties\nconcerned that it was open to either of\nthem to apply for tbe board and the fact\nthat neither had done bo places them\nin the position of being unwilling to let\nthe public know the facts. To this\ntelegram Mr. McNiven replied today\nthat neither party would state positively that they would not apply for a\nboard of conciliation.\nThe Royal Bank of Canada\nINCORPORATES 1S69\nCapital Paid up  $ 6,200,000\nReserve and Undivided Profita , '.\u2022,,\u00a7 0,900,000\nTotal Assets 196.000.000\nHEAD OFFICE: MONTREAL\nH. 8.

The brakes are already on car No. i and the installation of\nthe air aanders will be completed In a day\nor two.\nBoth, brakes and sunders are operated\nhy air supplied from a reservoir into which\nthe air Is forced by a heavy piston beneath the cars, and at both front and rear\nplatforms is a -gunge which Indicates the\npressure, which will be kept at a normal\nWeight of B0 pounds.\nThe air piston is operated by a motor\nentirely separate from tho.\u00abe which propel\nthe cars, so that when the vehicles aire\nbrought to a stop either on grades or on\nthe level the air reservoir will M.I11 lie\nkept filled to capacity. The brakes and\nsanders can be operated from either end\nor by tihe conductor, 'in cases of emergency\nonly, by a. wire from any part of the oars.\nSand will also he at each end of the cars\nund can be applied riiher by motormun or\nconductor.\nThe air for tlio brakes and sanders is\nconveyed from the reservoir by half-inch\npipes so that there is no danger of nnv\nclogging by grmse or dh t, even if such\ncould find entrance to the tubes, which is\nconsidered  practically  Impossible.\nAt each end of the oars is a muffler\nwhich prevents passengers from being annoyed by the noise which the air piston\nwould otherwise cause when the cars are\nnot actually in motion.\nThe hand brakes are, of course, being\nretained on the cars.\nY BASKETBALL\nOPENS BUILDING\nAT CRANBROOK\nBanquet Celebrates Opening of Y.M.C.A\n\u2014Speakers Welcome New Institution\n(Special to The Daily News.)\nCRANBROOK, B.C., April 7.-About 130\nguests sat down to tiie open.ng banquet at\nthe Y.M.C.A, last evening and partook of\nthe bounteous repast spread by kind ladles.\nAt 9 o clock Mayor Hunt, who acted as\nchairman, in a few well chosen words,\nwelcomed ithe visitors to the city, and\nstated a few of the advantages, to his\nmind, of the Y.M.C.A.\nFirst among the visitors to Bpeak was\nA, Price, general superintendent of tho\nC.P.R.

And tbe\nnext few months was the critical time.\nWe must have members and unless willing\nmembers threw In their energy the movement wilt fall. It Is not money that is\nmost needed, but service. Money is tbe\ncheaiiest thing men can give. It Is no\ntrouble to get money in the west, the\ntrouble was to get workers. He urged cooperation   for  the character  factory.\nSecretary Chegwln, of Moose Jaw, asked\ntbe question, \"How can this association\nbe a success?\" His answer was \"Serve\npeople where they need' service most.\"\nMr. Robson from Regina brought greetings from the queen city of the west.\nMr. Patton, secretary of tbe Winnipeg\nassociation, stated that his was the oldest\nwest of the great lakes.

Trade up to\nnoon aggregated about 30,000 shares, with\na lotml out-turn of 180,000 shares, thereby\nestablishing a new .low record wince the\nmiddle Of 1908. Not change* were for the\nmost part unimportant. Missouri Pacltle\nand other Gould stocks atone showed exceptional weakness. Further idea of the\nday s extreme dullness may be gathered\nfrom the fact that ipiite a number of the\nfairly active Issues were not quoted at\nany time during the session on the present\nshowing. The current mouth's business\nwill fall below that of March, which was\nthe smallest for any corresponding period\nfit nee 1004. News of the day embraced the\nmonth's statement of the copper producers for March, and a cut from 6 to \u25a0\u00bb\nper cent in the common charge of the\nUnited Cigar Manufacturers company, a\n\"curb\" security. The copper report showed a new high record for production, with\nan Increase of stocks on hand of more\nthan 5.300.000 pounds compared with the\nprevious month. Ruth domestic and foreign\ndemand were ahead of February. As a\nwhole, however, the exhibit offered additional proof of the unfavorable eond tion\nof the copper trade, more particularly in\nIhe efforts made toward curtailment.\nAmalgamated copper shares were correspondingly heavy. Continued ease tlf money\nfor all rates Is reported and a gain of cash\nwill probably be shown by the bank statement   tomorrow.\nForecasts  suggest  an   expansion   of  the\nloan account as an offset to last week's\nmoderate contraction, which probably failed to reflect in full measure the disbursements of Interest and dividends for the\nfirst 'quarter of tHe year. The bond market was relatively more active and firm\nthan the stock market. There was a good\ndemand for more speculative Issues. Total\nsales. j>ar value, were 13,333,000. United\nStates bonds were unchanged on call.\nWHEAT WEAK\nWINNIPEG, April 7.\u2014Liverpool cables\ncame \"fed lower, the weakness being due\nto the drop in the American market\nThursday and the heavy Increased world's\nshipments. The Winnipeg market opened\nut S9V- for May but dropped to K-, later it\nreacted to 89^. to 83% and hung at that\npoint for some time. It seemed, however,\nas If both Minneapolis aud Winnipeg had\nbeen oversold on the break and shorts\nstarted covering about 11 o'clock, and\ngradually forced the market higher until\nMay f.naily closed at HO1*, being %c over\nThursday. All morning there was a good\nsteady demand for all grades or cash below No. l Northern, but all exporters reported bids from 1 to l',_ out of line.\nThe Modern Miller, In a report on wheat\nconditions tn 11 winter wheat states, showed the standing of the crop to be 94.09,\nagainst Si.05 last year.\nMay oets were dull, though some sales\nwere made for prompt delivery.

The mining settlement occupied\nthe chief attention of traders in the stock\nexchange. The market, however, was generally steadier and some rails, foreign\nbonds, and consols made fair recoveries,\nwhile Paris BUpport strengthened Kaffirs\nin the afternoon. American securities\nwere dull and about unchanged during the\nforenoon. The onlv exception was Canadian Pacific, which advanced sharply or\ncovering. The late session was marked\nby slight, irregular price movements and\nthe closing was quiet,\nWHEAT PRICES STRONG\nCHICAGO, April \".-Tulk of a possible\nclash between France and Spain gave pretext for an advance today in the price of\nwheat. New investment was not of corresponding value, but the close was strong\nwith gams all the way from V\u00bbo A %c to\n1V_c. latest figures on corn showed %c\nto* %c tip, and for oats 'Ac A Vic to %c.\nThe dnv's trading left home products a\nshade to He dearer.   It did not take much\nto start covering by wheat shorts who had\nprofit in sight. As a rule they were satis-\nlied to collect all the cash possible and\nthen await the government crop report,\nwhich is due on Monday. Each weak spot\nIn the market served, therefore, to develop\nbuying on the part of such dealers, but\nndvance\u00ab brought forward sellers in only\na scattering manner. Sentiment early was\nlieurls-h, mainly because world s shipments\npromised to be heavy. Reports of large\nsales of flour at Minneapolis helped to\nturn feeling to the bull side. Then came\ndisquletoning rumors regarding France and\nSpain s relations, and finally there was a\nreport of considerable cash wheat having\nbeen bought In this market. As a result\nclosing prices were about the top for the\nseason,\nDEVOID OF INTEREST\nWINNIPEG, April 7\u2014Tiie local stock\nmarket was, with one exception, devoid of\nInterest this morning. Following on the\npersistent inquiries for Northern Hank\nIssue, Crown certificates were offtred this\nmorning at 95, an advance of 5 points over\nthe last sale.

C, by the\nbuilding trades department of the\nAmerican Federation of Labor.\nAll local unions in Vancouver are\nnow affiliated with their respective internationals. This after a campaign of\nseveral years. With Victoria and other\ntowns following suit the same statement will also be true of all British\nColumbia. The verdict of the Western\nFederation of Miners regarding affiliation with the American Federation of\nLabor will be known the latter end of\nthis month. Officers of district No. 6\npredict a favorable vote, if such Is the\nresult organized labor in British Columbia is off to a good start, and\nthrough Its British Columbia Federation of Labor will become a factor In\nthe industrial and political world Heretofore undreamed of by wageworkers.\nIndustry operated for profit, on this\ncontinent, costs the workers, according\nto reliable statistics, some 500,000 lives\nper year, with the awful toll increasing\nyear by year. In other words this\nmeans that about 135 workers are\nsacrificed on the altar of Profit every\n24 hours, or at the rate of five persons\nper every hour of the 24 hours. War\nmay be hell, but the peaceful pursuit\nof industry seems to he something that\nbegs description. And yet the workers\nseem to like it, for the fact remains\nthat on each succeeding election day\nthey vote to maintain the present form\nof property ownership and Industry.\nThrough the thoughtfulness of an\nold-time trades unionist, George Bart-\nley, now a resident of North Vancouver, I have been presented with an\nold constitution and bylaws for the\nBritish Columbia Federated Labor congress, which was organized at Nanaimn\nin November, 1890. Its declaration of\npurposes, though formulated 21 years\nago, Is worthy of note. It reads: \"For\ntiie purpose of extending, strengthening\nand perpetuating the organization of\nlabor in the province of British Columbia; to Improve its present social condition; to resist the imposition of additional burdens; to mitigate the evils of\naugust and unnecessary legislation; to\nenforce existing laws in favor of labor:\nto shorten the hours of labor; to prevent the Importation of Chinese labor,\nand to disseminate knowledge and In\nevery practical way advance the material welfare of the workers, individually\nand collectively, the various trade and\nlabor organizations of British Columbia\nhave adopted the following laws for\ntheir federated association.\" The officers of the old organization, few of\nwhom are known in the labor world\ntoday, were as follows; President,\nTully Boyce; vice president, Thomas\nHowell; secretary, Arthur Dutton\ntreasurer, W. Plemlng; sergeant-alarms, J. J. Ntcholls; executive committee, George Irvine, George Polly,\nThomas Salmon; finance committee,\nHarry Howard, B. H. Short. In other\nrespects the organization was not unlike the makeup of the recently organized British Columbia Provincial Fetl-\neralion of Labor, except that there was\nno Interior or very little mainland representation at that time. The whole\ndocument Is all very Interesting.\nTiie postal clerks throughout the\nUntied StateB have been driven to seek\nprotection. The working conditions imposed under much-vaunted government\nownership hnve become intolerable, and\nas a consequence they have decided to\norganize, and are arranging for the\nformation of a national union, chartered by the American Federation of\nLabor. Government employes, like all\nothers, are rapidly discovering that all\nthe workers get is what the workers\nlake. The workers can only take what\nthey have the power to take. Education and organization, in a word, knowledge, Is power. More power to the\npostal employes!\nThe International executive board .of\nthe United Mine Workers of America\nadopted the following resolution relative to the Western Federation of Miners accepting a charter from the American Federation of Labor:\n\"Indianapolis, Ind., March 24, '11\n\"The followlrig resolution \"was unanimously adopted by the International\nexecutive board of the United Mine\nWorkers of America:\n'Whereas, the W.F.M. haa been granted a charter by the A. F. of L., practically conceding every material question\nof jurisdiction; and ,\n\"Whereas, the future progress of the\nAmerican labor movement depends up*\non a closer unity of all trade unionB,\nbelieving as we do, that no trade union\nisolated and separated from the great\nbody of organized workers can successfully cope with the power of organized\ncapital; and\n\"Whereas, lt Is the earnest desire of\nthe members of our organization, as expressed by resolution and otherwise\nIn several of our International conventions that the W.F.M. affilllate with the\nA. F. ot L.; and\n\"Whereas, it has come to our attention that some of the members of the\nW. F. of M. have gone on record as being opposed to the acceptance of this\ncharter; therefore, he it\n\"Resolved, by the International execu\ntlve board of the United Mine Workers\nof America that we believe such action\nto be detrimental to the labor move-\nR. P. Pettipiece, Secretary of the B. c.\nTrades and Labor Assembly and\nEditor of the News Labor Column,\nment and that the work and effort put\nforth by both the V. M. W. of A. and\nthe W. F. of M. should not be Bet aside\nfor light and transient reasons, thereby\nseriously retarding the future progress\nof organized labor and to a great extent alienating the support of the trades\nunion movement from the W. F. of M.\nmaking the efforts of the U. M. W. of A.\nfor progress and solidarity in the labor\nmovement count for naught, and \u25a0therefore, In view of those self evident facts\nwe take the liberty to make our position known, and to express the hope\nthat the members of the iW. F. of M.\nwill see fit to accept the charter tendered them by the A. F. of L.\"\nVancouver Building Trades Council\nhas grown to such proportions that the\nlargest room in the temporary Labor\nhall has heen secured for meetings. At\nthe last meeting James H. McVety was\nelected president hy acclamation, vice\nJ. William Wilkinson, resigned. President McVety is a delegate from the\nmachinists' union, a body that was only\naffiliated with the council recently, the\nInternational Association of Machinists\nnow being a part or the building trades\ndepartment of the American Federation of Labor. Reports of delegates\nthe last meeting all Indicate that the\nnew schedules are likely to be signed\nby the employers providing for a general raise of 50 cents per eight-hour\ndny. In fact several of the building\ntrades are already signed up and the\nprospects for no strikes are good. The\nsplendid organization of the building\ntrades is largely responsible for this\noutcome. The constant Influx of Job-\nseekers, however, is causing the various business agents no end of anxiety.\nAll crafts report increasing membership and a general tone of militancy\nand determination to keep pnee with\nthe phenomenal Industrial development of the city. Building inactivity In\nSeattle and San Francisco has resulted\nin quite a number of union cards being\ndeposited in Vancouver locals. These,\nalong with hundreds of arrivals from\nthe old country, are keeping the labor\nmarket pretty well fed up. Newcomers\nare urged to call at Labor hall before\nseeking work in Vancouver.\nVancouver Typographical union, No.\n226, has unanimously voted to submit\nto a referendum vote a proposal to expend $500 in a preliminary endeavor to\nsecure the 1012 convention of the International Typographical union. The\ndecision of the membership will he\nknown in a few days. Meantime a special committee is preparing for a whirlwind campaign to land the coveted\nprize, The I.T.U. convention meets this\nyear at San Frnnclsco, the first time tn\nthe west and there is a natural Inclination on the part of the west to not only\nhave a second western convention but\nto give western Canada representation\nfor once. Local typos are confident\nthey can care for a convention of the\nmagnitude involved and the hearty moral and financial support of semi-public\nbodies has even at this early stage of\nthe game been assured, Vancouverltes\ndo not consider Ottawa, Ont. as a possibility. The final result of the referendum can hardly be questioned, if the\nenthusiasm of the lost meeting oi No.\n226 is indicative of the determination\nto go after the big convention.\nThe emancipation of the working people will only be achieved when the\neconomic and political movements have\nJoined hands. To live up to this principle the worker must take an active\npart In politics. But to do so he must\nhave time to study suoh matters. A\nworker who day after day has to toll ten\nhours or longer In factory1 or sweatshop\nhas no time to study; only a short day\nwill give him this opportunity. Under\npresent conditions a child even has to\nleave school as early as possible to\nslave for capitalism to earn the means\nof subsistence. Lack of education and\nlong working, make it impossible for\nhtm to comprehend political conditions.\nHe is not In a position to exercise his\npolitical rights intelligently\u2014that is in\na manner serving bis own and the interests of his class\u2014and he becomes\nthe voting cattlo of capitalism.\u2014Brewery Workers Journal.\nFollowing Is the resolution condemning the Clvio Federation paased at the\ncoal miners* convention in Columbus, O.\n\"Resolved that it is the sense of the\n22nd annual convention of the U. M. W.\nof A. In session, that the National Civic\nFederation is an auxiliary of labor and\nbitter foes of organized labor; in existence only for the purpose of chloroforming the labor movement of this\ncountry; and be it further resolved,\nthat each and every member of the\nU. M. W. of A. is hereby prohibited,\nunder penalty of expulsion from affiliating with, or rendering aid to, financial\nor otherwise, the aforesaid labor hating\nand designing National Civic Federation.\"\nThe latest statement made by Secretary Morrison on the condition of the\nAmerican Federation of Labor wilt be\ninteresting to those who take an interest in the progress of the great labor\nmovement All affiliated organizations\nOt title federation show an Increase for\nthe first months of this fiscal year over\nthe average membership of last year\nof ,156,808 members. If the Western\nFederation of Miners agree to accept a\ncharter on the conditions set forth In\nthe decision of the executive council\nof the A. F. of L. it will add at least\n50,000 members\u2014 the membership\nclaimed when the application was made\n\u2014which will increase the gains to 206,-\n861. Indications are that this increase\nwill be sustained, If not augmented, for\nthe balance of the fiscal year. Tbe new\nlist of affiliated organizations will show-\nover 6011 central bodies and ;>0 stale\nbodies that aro now affiliated.\nThe proceedings of the tenth annual\nconvention ot\" tbe Washington State\nFederation of Labor, held at Olympla,\nJanuary 16, IT, 18, lit and 20, 1011, are\nto hand, and its 100 pages are full of\ninterest to wageworkers, especially\nthose of the Pacific northwest. Copies\nmny be secured upon application to\nCharles Perry Taylor, Tacoma, Wash.\nClarence S.

Premier Sltton said:\nWhat Will Build up the City\n'You have the soil, the climate and\nresources of' which you and all Alberta\nare Justly proud: It is the work of\neverybody to help it develop. The best\nway is to get people on the land, raising the produce which the soil produces\nso abundantly. You should look upon\nevery man as an enemy who owns a\nquarter section of land and does not\ndevelop it. It is not the Belling of land\nat advanced prices that makes a coun\ntry prosperous, for that rise is of no\nactual benefit until the land raises a\ncrop to ship out of the country and\nbring In money. It is to the interest\nof the board of tirade to see that every\ntownship raises every possible bushel\nof grain or other produce, whatever\nmay he the most profitable. The bringing in of money in return for produce\nwill build up the city so that it will\nbe a city of which you and all Alberta\nwill be proud.\n\"The duty falls not only upon all the\n.people .but also upon the railroads,\nwhich have lately wakened up to the\nimportance of this great country. The\nboard should get their assistance.\nCity Gives $6000 and Then Some\nAid. Goode followed the mayor as\nspokesman for the remainder of the\ncouncil In a rousing speech. He said:\n\"The relation between the council and\nthe hoard of trade in this city is the\nvery best, and this afternoon to show\nour confidence in that body, we passed\na resolution at the regular meeting authorizing the payment of J6000 to them\nfor their 1911 campaign, and we also\nagreed to give them dollar for dollar\nfor all they raised over that amount.\nThe board ol trade Is doing a most excellent work in bringing new citizens\nto our city, and it is our duty as a municipal governing hody to build up a\ngood clean city for these new people to\nlive in.\" Mr. Goode then spoke of some\nof the large public improvements contemplated by the 1911 council to bring\nthis about. In a few weeks they expected to have some concrete information\nregarding a gravity water system. A\nlarge sewage disposal system is 'being\ninstalled. The electric light and water\nrates have recently heen reduced. Paving will eoon relieve the business portion ot the city ot the dust nuisance.\nThe parks and 'boulevards scheme\nstarted so successfully last year by\nPresident Hatch Is being extended. All\nthese things and many others go to\nmake up a better city for people to live\nin, and the board of trade is working\nhand in hand with the council to bring\nabout these better conditions, and helping to make a city of which every citizen mny be Justly proud.\nA District Association\nThere were many replies to this toast\nfrom members of the other boards of\ntrade of southern Alberta, and all had\nfor their keynote the forming of a\nunion ot the different .bodies of the\nsouth for the purpose of carrying on\nthe work that each is trying to do individually in a united way, thus gaining\nthe very best results. J. J. Oummlngs\nof Granum spoke In favor of the project as lt had heen broached to their\nboard and said he believed that the\nscheme was not only practicable but\nalso one that would bring great results.\nH Tweed ot Medicine Hat, followed,\nremarking that the Lethbridge and\nMedicine Hat districts represented the\nvery best parts of Alberta and hy\nuniting the strength of their own separate boards they would derive much\ngood as a result.\nIn Union Is Effectiveness\nDr. l<eech ot inber where the idea of\nreorganising the old associated boards\nof trade ot southern Alberta lately originated then spoke and outlined the plan.\nHe said that If the city of Lethbridge\nexpected to become the great city she\naimed to be it was necessary to develop the surrounding country. To do\nthis most effectively It becomes necessary to work .together with the sur-\nIrounding towns and districts. The\nboards of trade of southern Alberta are\nworking to bring about the development of the whole district Why not,\nthen, Join hands In the project, and\nthus united, do a more far .reaching and\neffective work than could ibe accomplished If working Individually. The\ntowns and cities of southern Alberta\nhave a common ground to work upon,\nand many things of equal importance\nto show to the world, which cannot be\nhandled in the best manner hy the existing boards of trade.\t\nALABAMA CHRISTIAN ._\u201e.\u201e,.\nENOEAVORERS IN  SESSION\nSELMA, Ala..

C.  N. It. stock on exceptionally easy terms and conditions.\nThe price, subject to market advances, is, for a short time, only J110 per share,\nIncluding the dividend accrued on the stock from November 2. The terms: Jlo.oo\nper share cash. J15.00 on allotment and the balance, if required, on or before\nJanuary, 1016, In calls of JiiMW each upon not less than (XI days' notice to the\nshareholders.\nThe Canadian Northern Railway has marketed only tS,000,W0 of tills issue all\ntold, and the amount availublc for the West is extremely limited.\nIn order to secure thla stock, prompt application must be made, and, as this\nissue Is primarily for the purpose of securing amongst the constituents of the\nCanadian Northern Railway System, and the general public of Western Canada,\nas large a number of Canadian shareholders us possible, applications for even\none share are specially invited, and no more than 20 shares of this Issue will be\nalloted to any single individual.\nThe Company claims that this issue is \"gilt edged,\"   fully equal, as to security unci profit possibilities, to any Investment now offering in Western Canada.\nThe stock Is  fully guaranteed as to principal and  interest,   The interest is a\nfirst charge on the net earnings of  the system.

P. R. realized a cash return of 125 per cent on the\ninvestment In five years; (125.00 invested at that time, together with subscription\nrights exercised In the years 1002-19(11 and lDOti, represents today a security having\na market value of approximately J1S00 exclusive of some JS00 dividends paid in\nthe interval.\nAnd It is only reasonable to anticipate thnt through the enormously increased value of the company's lands, townsltcs and other assets brought about\nby the C.

The profits accruing are being also enormously increased\nby the 200 new towns and cities the railroad has created, to say nothing of their\ncoul lands, irrigation and swamp lands, ail of which are very valuable.\nIf there aro any points upon which further information is desired, this offlse\nwill be only too pleased to reply fully to letters, or, If convenient, parties, could\ncall at the company's offices, where every information will be most cordially supplied, but we strongly advise you to lose no time in securing your requirements,\nfor this opportunity of securing a portion of this Issue of C.

Bonds, the Management\nof the railroad have been, for the last 20 years (and still are), securing\nevery concession and franchise of value, alongside or adjacent to their 11,000\nmiles of railroad, amongst others, it has created over 200 new towns, some of\nwhich have already attained the dignity   of   cities,  the   present   population   of\nmany being in the thousands, with municipal assessments of large proportions,\nthus the potential increase In future values during the next few years, will undoubtedly prove enormous.\nIn'addition to the above, all valuable franchises obtainable, such as telegraph\nrights, water powers, timber limits and coat land areas, irrigation rights, as well\nas many millions of acres of agricultural lands, (secured both by government\nland grants or by purchase at low prices), and many others will be developed and\nsold for the benefit of shareholders, and consummated with the completion of\nthe road In 1916. .\nThe profits accruing on these vast assets through the construction of railroad and Increased population, will attain such enormous values in the aggregate as to be scarcely realisable by those unacquainted with the subject.\nAs an illustration, amongst many others .the town of Saskatoon a few years\nago, only valuable as prairie land,'has now a population of 16,000 and rapidly\nIncreasing with present Real Estate values out of all proportion to their original\ncost; this also applies to all other cities and towns through which the system\npasses.\nThese vast assets are all additional to the railroad Itself, whose gross traffic\nearnings increased from $60,000 In 3897, to no less than $16,000,000 Id 1910.\n REQUEST FOR PROSPECTUS\u2014 \t\nFill in, Sign and Mall Promptly\nCanadian Northern Securities Corporation, Limited,\nPacific Coast Agency, 804 Dominion Trust Building, Vancouver, B.
