The park keeper will also bo\n[responsible for maintaining proper or-\nider In the parks and for preventing\n{damage to trees and shrubs.\nOne of the first improvements of a\nItninor nature, it was suggested should\nIbe made, was tbe painting of the arch\n\u25a0 which waa moved after the Duke of\n\u25a0Connaught's visit from the corner of\n\u25a0 Baker and Ward streets to Connaught\nwrk.\nThat the city might secure the first\n\u25a0.option of purchase upon the McG\u00bbid-\nIrlch Lumber company's land in Falr-\nI view for use as an additional park was\nItbe suggestion made by It. M. Bird,\n\u25a0who  declared  that  the  city made  i\nI-(teat mistake when It permitted this\nI land to get Into the hands of private\nI owners.   Nelson's .present park area,\n\u25a0for * city with snoh splendid prospects\n\u25a0to? future growth, was entirely lnade-\nIqttste, argued Mr. Bird.\n<  T. A.

M. Bird declared that Bake)\nstreet property owners who had pah'\nfor the cement sidewalks as a. work\nof local Improvement, and who had\ncontributed 75 per cent of tho cost o*\ninstalling the new electric lighting\nsystcm had been sufficiently heavily\ntaxed, and that thc people as a whole\nshould pay for the laying down of fi\npermanent street. If thu other property owners favored the frontage ta>\nplan he would, however, bo willing t-\npay his share.\nFavors  Frontage Tax,\nSpeaking us a large property ownci\non Baker street, M. It.

M\nMohr, head of the 'Winnipeg companj\nwhich Is now one of tho heaviest property owners on Bakej; street, had expressed a willingness to pay a largt\nproportion of the expense of Improving the street in front of the lots li\nwhich he is interested. Enhancemon\nof tho value of tho property benefitte\nWould alone recompense owners f<>\nthe expenditure which, spread over i\nperiod of years, would not be n heav-\nburden, declared Mr. McQuarrie.\nT.

Qulmby\no\u00a3 Chehalls county in hunting the outlaw, Qulmby fired seven times at\nTornow unci then fled without learning\nwhether thc outlaw was wounded.\nLatin-op (nut Blair, both of whom\nwere 35 years old \"t\u00bbcl experienced\nhunters and trappers, were persistent\nhunters of Tornow, who is wanted at\nMontesuno for the murder of his twin\nnephews, John and Will Bauer, 19\nyears old, who were killed in the fall\nof 1311, and for the killing of Deputy\nSheriffs Colin McKengle and Avel\nElmer, who lost their lives a year ago\nIn pursuit of the outlaw.\nSeveral days ago Blair and Lathrop\njoined Qulmby and took up a trail that\ngave promise of leading them to their\nquarry. Early today they came upon\nan old cabin In the Ox Bow country,\n10 miles from camp No. G of tho Mason\nCount Logging company, in the northeastern part of Chehalls, county. Believing Tornow to he within, the men\napproached cautiously, Blair and Lathrop approaching the cabin In front,\nwhile Qulmby slipped around to the\nrear.\nAs Qulmby reached the back of the\ncabin he heard shots In front nnd running around saw Tornow standing before the door firing at the prone figures of Blair and T.atlirop. Quimby\nbegan shooting at, Tornow arid worked\nhis rifle until it was empty, when he\nfled without stopping to learn whether\nany of his bullets had found the mark.\nQuimby hurried back over the rude\ntrail 10 miles to the logging camp,\nwhere he gave tbe alarm and telephoned to Shelton of the death of his\ncompanions. It wns late when Qulmby\nreached the camp ami It was decided\nbest not to venture bnck Into the forest until thc sheriff of Chehalls county\narrived with his posse from Monte-\nsano.\nThe posse is expected to reach the\ncamp early tomorrow morning.\nThe trail from the camp to the cabin\nIs impassable to horses and the bodies\nwill have'to bc packed out by men.\nThe scene of the shooting Is 30 mites\nfrom Shelton, in ono of the wildest\nparts of Washington, Blair had two\nbrothers living at Shelton.

Embittered toward civilization, Tornow disposed of Ills property and went into\ntho forest to live, becoming a hermit\nand seldom showing himself.\nEarly in tly fall of 1910 the Bauer\ntwins, Tornow's nephews, went to thob\nuncle's camp and attempted to induce\nhim to return home. He refused, and\nIt was said at the time declared he\nwould kill anyone who bothered him\nagain. About that time reports were\nreceived at Aberdeen of a wild mn-i In\nthe Wynootche valley, and Deputy\nSheriff Colin McKenzle was sent to investigate.

Late in November\nLouis Blair, who was killed by Tornow\ntoday, sent to Aberdeen that he had\nseen evidences of Tornow's presence In\nthe Ox Bow country.

In the\ncourse of a previous debate It was\nclaimed by the opposition that this\nhomestead Is within the limits of the\ncity, and  lhat it Is worth $70,000.\nThe struggle, which throughout was\ncurried on with dignity and moderation by speakers on both sides of tho\nhouse, culminated In a compromise,\nthe prime minister agreeing to have\nthe house moved into committee of\nsupply on Thursday, ao that the matter niay be thrashed out. In doing so\nhe said It was the desire of the minister of public works that the discussion should take place without delay.\nThe first move was made by Hon.\nFrank Oliver, who pn routine privilege\nmoved the adjournment of the house\nin order to mnl-.e the motion of censure. Speaker Sproule ruled him out\nof order. Such a motion could be\nmade, ho said, only upon motion to go\nInto committee of supply. After a\nbrief discussion the matter was dropped for the limo, and Mr. McCranejr\nof Saskatoon resumed the closure debate. Me criticized the government\nfor proposing to change the rule of\nthe house in the middle of a fight on\nan important measure, and protested\nparticularly ugainst the proposal to\nprevent members from ventilating\ngrievances on thc motion to go into\nsupply, II wnuld deprive members of\nmany opportunities to do real service\nto their constituents, he argued.\nWhen Mr. McCraney had concluded,\nHon. Frank Oliver again moved the\nadjournment of the house, but on the\nobjection of Mr, Arthur Melghen was\nruled out on the ground that he could\nnot do so as he had spoken on tho\nresolution under discussion.\nTho objection was sustained. Fred\nPardee, chief Liberal whip, then moved tho adjournment of the house, the\nspeaker ruling him out, however, because on Monday he moved the ad-\njournment of the debate.\nDr. Beland then rose and said that\nafter speaking to the closure resolution ho would move tho adjournment\nof the house, no exception being taken to this. Dr. Ileland spoke till near-,\nly 6 o'clock, and then moved the adjournment,\nMr. Oliver rose to speak to lt, and\ngave as ono reason why the house\nshould adjourn the desirability of considering the Prince Albert land matter before the house. Then there was\nsome more discussion. Sir Wilfrid\nLaurler said that during the continuous sittings it had been ruled that on\na motion to adjourn the navy bill\nmust not be discussed. This was a\nreversal of that ruling.\nPremier Borden said there was a\ndistinction, This motion was interjected in ihe middle of a debate, and\nsuch a course was not desirable.\nWhen the house resumed at 8 o'clock\n'Contmiie*- on page rour.>\nImmigration To British\nColumbia Is New Record\n\"We anticipate a very much heavier\npassenger traffic over our western\nlines this season than ever before.\"\nstated C.

British Columbia would benefit greatly\nfrom the tourist travel to the exposition, in Mr. Mcpherson's opinion.\nMr. McPherson Is making a flying\ntour of inspection In this district, and\nafter spending today'in the city he\nwill return enst to Calgary and Rd-\nmonton.\n Garden Sprays\nWhale Oil Soap\nTobacco Juice\nand Paris Green\nGarden Seeds\nSIX   DIFFERENT   AND   COMPLETE   LINfcS.\nSporting Goods\nREACH'S COMPLETE LINE'OF BASEBALLS and SUPPLIES,\nAYERS' TENNIS BALLS, CROQUET SETS,\nHUOBY BALLS,  FOOTBALLS,  BOXING  GLOVES, ETC.\nCanada Drug & Book Co.

An outburst of national rejoicing throughout bis empire\nwill remind thc world of the fact.\nGermany is already preparing for ltr>\nand tho festivities will lie kept up until\nlate into the year. Already we have\nbegun celebrating the centenary of\nthe national upheaval against Napoleon In 1813. A long list of battles\nremains lo be commemorated, winding\nUp with the inauguration of the stupendous monument on the battlefield\nof Leipzig In October.\nA few weeks from now the marriage\nof thc kaiser's only daughter, Princess Viktorla Lulse, to the young\nI'rincc of Cumberland will be celebrated with a huge display of public! joy\nin Berllri. Add a few royal visits and\nbirthdays, and it is evident that there\nwill scarcely be time to tuke down the\nVenetian mnsta all summer, and lhat\nthe supply of bunting will badly need\nreplenishing before the end of the\nyear. So that although the shadow\nof war still lies broad upon the land,\nthough trade in bad, business lungulsh-\ning fnr lack of capital, and bankruptcy plentiful, the year is one of\nnational rej'j.jing.\nThe kaiser bus himself struck the\nkeynote of the jubilee music. It Is to\nbe, like 1813, a year of sacrifice. The\nhurrahs and the military bands will\ndrown tlie cries of the victims. Those\nwho possess money will hand over\none-half of one to one per cent of it\nfor the milliard war levy. There will\nlie an increment value tax on property; (here may be an inheritance\ntax; them is talk of transferrin-; the\nstamp duties tu the imperial ex-\nche'iuer; which will mean that tho federated governments will have to look\nabout for some means of filling the\ngap in their revenues.\nCharitable  Objects for  Jubilee\nThen the rich will have to contribute to the thousand and one funds\nfor charitable objects got up In honor\nof the kaiser's silver jubilee. For his\nmajesty has let It be\" known that he\ndesires no gifts for himself, but would\nlike to see the money collected to com\nmemorate his Jubilee spent on c-hari\nuible -md public objects, onu uf th\nfirst schemes was tu collect enough i>\npresent a mugniflcent new steam yacln\nto the kaiser, lhe Hohciii-olleru bela\nOld, stow, and, according to recun\nministerial declarations in the relch\nStag, in view of what Happened to tli\nTitanic, not even safe, on all suci\nlavish giving as this the kaiser fr.iwn\n-id consistently.

The gift of silence\nis not his. He will listen to a ife'lUff-\nof flattery this year. The presses ol\nGermany groan with the weight o:\nkaiser jubilee literature which will\nsoon flood the bookstalls. In mnst 6\nthe forthcoming works he will hr\ngiven the credit for all the progrcn:\nmade In, Germany during his reign\nThe army, the navy, industry, sCiehci\nart and learning\u2014these are n few of\nthe things with which he has occuplei\nhimself. All have made huge Btrlile:\nIn Germany since he came to thi\nthrone, and it will be said that iiu\nkaiser pushed them forward. It Is i\ntradition already that tho kalse\nislounds every expert, he comes In\ncontact with by Ills knowledge' uf thi\nman's special Btflijbc't. Tliere can la\nnu question thai U.y memory Is pro\naliglous. All tho same, It Is probabli\nthat- If another had occupied tin\nthrone Germany would nut have beei\nmuch poorer or less learned than sht\nIs   today.\nOne great Institution of modern\nGermany Is peculiarly the kalserV\nown, and he should be given full credit\nfop It.- It Is the magnificent war navy\nnow tho second in the world, of wide!\na donen years ago none but he coul-\nhave dreamed. Up to the beginoiai\nof the century the Imperial navy con-\nsisfed of a few small coast defend\nvessels. In 1807, when Prince Hear;\nwas sent out to the Orient tn lax.\npossession of Uie newly acquired settlement of Kiaoehau, the world laugh\ned at the tum-blcdnwn old battleshl-\nIn which he made the voyage. It hai\nto be repaired In every other port o;\nthe route. The kaiser has chnngeil ai,\nthat. At the present time there Is ai\n'ntcrnntionul fleet off Constantinople\nno ship of which makes a better showing thnn the new German battle cruiser Goeben.\nThe army, another peeulinr pbjec'\nof the kaiser's care, numbered 4%Lj&6f\nofficers and men 25 years ago. In tin\npresent yonr the relehstag will vote\nappropriations for some 670,000 of di]\nranks. Two years hence the peaet\neffective will hove risen to nver 800,000\nofficers and men. In recent yerirs the\narmy has complained a good deal ir\nfavor of the navy. It hardly looks ni\nif these complaints were very well\nfounded. During the reign the popu\nlation has increased from 50,000,000 to\n65,000,000. Foreign trade has more than\ndoubled and now stands at over 3,500,\n1100,000. Them are 47 cities In tho empire \u25a0* lb a population of over 100,000-\nThc nntioiral wealth has increased tt'\nsomething like $50,000,000,000. The\ndeath tate has fallen from 2(5 to 17\nper 1000 of the population. Shipping,\nmining, railways have multiplied. Everywhere there Is the same tale of\ngiguntic expansion and prosperity. Let\nIt be added, that tliere has been\ndevelopment of the political life of\nGermany, and that the Increase In thc\nSocialist-vote Is the most startling\nIncrease of all.\nYear Well Begun\nThe kaiser inaugurated his Jubilee\nyear\n.age \"dt -till 'iluitgb    .\n.he Cumberland Quelpts and .tlma\nviping out an old quam-l m whieh\nighl and fair play wen- i'>\" \u00ab\u00ab mea'nj*\nII on tbe side of bis hmise.

I often find myself at\nin- und of the day too tired to look\nlimit m '\u25a0 and feci as If 1 had actually\nest  something  tangible,   for  lt  Is   a\n'act ihat spring is so busy these days\nmo  must  watch  her closely  or one\n\u25a0\/\/111   miss some  miracle.    Today has\n\u25a0Mftn such a\" unusual sort of day. with\noft,  misty light making the  mountains more unsubstantial looking than\nitfer.   For at this season the hills on\nIv,- aide of the lake look ns if. while\n\u25a0till wearing their ermine bonnets, they\nml swathed themselves in dtnphamous\nnlsty veils of softest lavender chiffon\nvllh embroidered hems of green. Every\n'.tile shmb and tree hides itself behind\ni veil of budding life.   It Is as if the\n\u25a0an were   n   real   life-blood showing\nhrough,   such   a   richness   of   color\n\u2022arlous items take on.  The pussy wll-\npws :<re ut th,- hPight of their fuzzl-\nie\u00abs, -ind the numerous trees, covered\n.vlth  those ethereal   looking  flowers,\nlook like glaiit bouquets set along the\nfoot of tin- mou'i-nlns.   Today I had\nto take a  trip up the stream to the\nbarlo,\" aw the Chinaman calls the bar-\nel  which  [urms  our reservoir.    The\nstream Is dimply going mad, tumbling\nand laughing ..loud with delight at being released from bondage.    And all\nalong Its banks the rocks are covered\nwith the most beautiful green moss.   I\nbrought home an armful to use In various small bowls as a foundation for\nirrangtng such \"finttllngs of the year\"\nis crocus, snowdrops and primroses.\nThese are all charming, rising from a\n')\u00abd of green moss, besides lasting well.\nI had the pleasure of picking my very\nfirst English primrose in my own gar-\nlen today, and you,should see.the little\nhoutiuet I'haVe' bf primroses, violets\nand    pale    purple    hepatlcas.     Yes,\nhopatlcas!    The very same that you\nused to gather in the woods In Ontario.   Can't you see the open glades\n'n the Sugar bush, where among the\ndrifts of dry leaves you rustled about\nuntil you found them, the dearest of\nlittle  fuzzy  babies,   and   gathered  a\nhandful ranging all the way from white\nto deep rose and lavender?   I used to\nlovo them so, nnd every spring had a\nlonesome fueling when I thought how\nthey were blooming m some of those\nwell-remembered spots, so finally sent\nto a florist nnd asked him to procure\nhe roots for me.   I have four roots,\nind tliey nre flourishing famously and\nmy hunger for them Is appeased.   But\nnot'my hunger to see tho maple woods\nagain In spring.    I believe I could go\nstraight as a die to the very hollow\n\/\/here the blond-routs   grew,   and   I\nknow exactly where to find the biggest\nand finest trllliums.   Another Ontario\n\u25a0\/lid flower I have secured for my garden Is the wild phlox-    What   great\n'beets of It used to grow over by the\n\u00bbld quarry at home, nnd what dellght-\n\u25a0ul picnic trips wo used to make, and\nbring home great baskets full of, all\ntort of beauties!   I am afraid to think\nuf what may have befallen those loved\nplaces.    Do you remember last week\nmy mentioning the little grove ot pines\n\u25a0vhere tho crows used to congregate?\nThere seemed a fatality about It, because the very next night, In a letter\ntrom my brother, who had visited the\nnld homestead, he told mo thoBe beautiful trees had all been cut down.   I\ndon't mind  confessing  that I had  a\ngood cry over it, and I have not been\nable to forget it yet.   That same day.\nus if to break my heart altogether, the\nroad surveyor came through, running\npreliminary lines, and  H.you please,\n'ho beautiful birch trees all along the\nshore were right in the proposed survey!    Can you imagine my feelings?\nBut no, no one'.could uijless he, like. I,\nhad  watched  thOBe trees grow  from\nimnll saplings Into the lovely graceful\n(reus they now am.' I have never quite\ndecided just at which season they are\nmost beautiful.    In winter, when tho\nb-auty of coloring and form is outlined ngalnst the shy;' in spring, when\nthey are a living, quivering fountain of\npale yellnw-green, with their very life\nshowing    through     the    transparent\nleaves; or in autumn, when the foliage\nturns  to  the clearest,  purest yellow.\nAlways they are \"a thing of beauty\nand a Joy forever,\" \u00bbnd I have guarded and nursed them for 10 years, and\nnow to think of seeing them cut down\nis enough to turn me quite grey.   I do\nthink something should   be   done  to\navoid  this- wanton sacrifice of trees.\nWe all wish to see a beautiful hlgh-\nwny, but if it Is built along the shore\nIn the manner proposed It will make\nscars that *&ll not be healed for the\nnext 20 years, and sacrifice trees that\nhave   oeen   B0   years a-growlng and\nwhich are now the chief beauties of a\ntrip along the lake.   A little further up\nthe  lake, where  the road is already\npartly  built,  there are places where\nmagnificent   birche-*   have   been   cut\ndown\u2014and stumps left!   Clearly proving that there was not the slightest\nnecessity for cutting the trees at all.\nI never can quite see why a rood cannot be made an addition to the beauty\nof a landscape. Instead of an ugly disfigurement.   To tell the truth, when I\npass along the lake, and compare the\nbeauty of the untouched scenery -with\nthe so-called \"improvements,\" there Is\nan old missionary hymn that sings a\nrefrain in my mind over nnd over\u2014\n\"Where every prospect pleases and\nonly man is vile\".\nNow, truly, 1 did not intend to run\non like this, and you must forgive roe,\nI meant to offer a few suggestions as-\nto the planting of roses, for I presume\nthat Is what will occupy the minds of\nmost people in the coming week. First\nand foremost, do not let the roots of\nyour roses be exposed to the air for a\nminute longer than you can help.    1\nulways allow  such   runts  to stand  In\nwater for an hour or so before plant-.\nIng.   Get your soil ready now by dig- !\nglng in lots of well-rotted manure, or\nIf that is impracticable, buy some bone\nmeal and mix lt thoroughly in the soil.\nThen be sura to prune your rosea most\nseverely, cutting out all weak canes\nnnd cutting back the strong ones to\nabout thre-. or four buds.   In this way\nyou will get finer bloomB, and besides\ngive your bushes a far better chance\nto survive.   Thc roots Way be shortened a little also, and planted deeply\nso that tho point from which the canes\nBtart Is well below the surface.   A anr*\nmant bush left uhpruned will h\"ve a\nHtrugglo   for   existence, but  w li  cut\nback they rarely fall to grow,    it is\ntime thnt all the buBhes already planted should be pruned, though they are\nmaking scarcely any show of buds yet.\nA good plnn Is to go over them now\nand cut off all winter-killed wood, and\nthen a little later go over them again,\nshortening the canes back to a few\nstrong buds.   I have mine all finished,\nand tt 1b quite a job off one's hands,\nfor I have a good many buBhes.   I keep\non trying to grow really good r^ses, but\nmy soil  Is  very   unsuitable,   being  a\nlight sandy loam, whereas roses should\nbe grown in strong clay and   be   fed\nabundantly.    What a shock  to one's\naesthetic Ideals to find the beautlfu!\nqueen of flowers described in almost\nevery  catalogue  ns a  \"gross  feeder' \u25a0\nI might also mention that the tea ro.-n-s\ndo not need to !>\u25a0\u25a0 cut back so much ns\nthe   more   Sturdy   hybrid   perpetua'.s,\nmerely cutting out all-the weak and\nstraggling stems and cutting the good\ncanes   back   to   where   the   wood   Is\nhealthy being usually sufficient. How\never, very often the wood seems to be\nare Just - opening today. Violets,\nhepatlcas. primroses and rock cress are\nall showing a little color, and the columbines and pyrethrums are almost\nas pretty as flowers with their clumps\nlot lovely foliage.

Reports of\nthe affair differ, but It appears that n\nparty of German men and women,\nivlib wcty' visiting Nancy, were Insulted at a place of entertainment\nthere; that afterward they were eub-\n.ecteil tu worse Insults iu a restaur*\nint, and that finally, they were practically driven out of the town by a\n\u2022rowd of Jeering Frenchmen who did\nnot cease their abuse until Ibe trail:\ncarrying the Germans away started\nfrom the station.\nForeign Secretary von Jaego\n\"rmed the relohstng this afternoon\nthut the German unibasr-ndor in Paris\nbail been promptly Instructed to take\nthe necessary steps to obtain an Invest! nation. If the unofficial report\nproves true thc ambassador Is to\n\"make representations in regard to\nhie inadequate protection afforded to\n'Jerm.ins  In  France\".\nThe reich'stag greeted the foreign\nsecretary's statement with demonstrative cheers. Herr Von Jaeguw said:\n\"Up to the present hour our Information concerning the Nancy Incident\nhas been confined to press despatches.\nIf the ncWB is confirmed to thc full\nextent to which It i\u00ab Unofficially reported I should certainly describe it\n\u2022s highly regrettable. It would, how-\n\u2022ver.' be proof of how much the no-\ntluns of French chauvinists, or which\nthe Imperial chancellor recently spoke\nin the relchstag, must give rise\nmisgivings\".\nEyon sober newspapers like tlie\nl-okal Anzelger and the conservative\nArouse Zeltung are publishing violent\nattacks denouncing the conduct of tin\ncrowd at Nancy in unmeasured terms\nand Insisting that the German government must not shrink from sharp\nmeasures to Insuro that Germans\nshall not be the victims of similar incidents ln the future.\ni The organ of the war party Is exploiting the affulr to the full. The\nBerliner Neuest Nachrichtcn, lhe\nmouthpiece of the navy league and the\narmor plate Intcreats, declares thai\nthe French; have affronted the \"honor\"\nof Germany and that the imperial\ngovernment cunnot refrain from demanding adequate reparation. Thc\nI.okal Anzelger which, is sometime**\nthe mouthpiece of thc government on\nsuch occasions, refers f-urcastlcall;\nthe \"knightly nation\" and adds: \"If\nFrenchmen's sense of decency and politeness with regard to Germany\nkeeps on degenerating it will be impossible for our government to avoid\ntaking far reaching measures to in\nsure for the German name that re\nspect on the other side of the Vosgea\nwhich Is Its due. The French gov\neminent will do well to at once see\nthat the behavior of the Nancy Sunday crowd Is not soon repealed elsewhere by patriots of the same ilk\".\nThe Krens Zeltung says: \"We hope\nthat the Instructions sent to the German ambassador at Paris will be\nbrought to hear in a vigorous way\".\nFrance is Surprised\nPARIS, April 16.\u2014The exaggerated\nImportance given by the German press\nto an insignificant tipsy brawl In a\nmusic hall nt Nancy excites great surprise In France.
