In a former article we went\nInto the subject of \"magnesian silicates\" because a specimen of a peculiar looking white rock with a radiated\nstructure found its wny into the\nmineral display at thc Nelson Fair\nand proved to be a magnesian silicate\nmineral called actenollte or \"ray-\nstono.\" Recently pieces of another\nwhite rock, with a somewhat greasy\nfeel, wore brought Into the hotel,\nwhich ut sight might he thought to be\n\"magneslte,\" or carbonate of magnesium, but a drop of acid showed by its\nnot effervescing that tho specimen was\nnot a carbonate either of magnesium\nor lime and not the desirable \"magneslte,\" or magnesian carbonate they are\nquarrying so extensively in Washington for making a kind of Infusible\nbrick. As there are good chances of\nfinding the same desirable class of\nrock in this region we may again call\nattention to the snbject of magnesian\nminerals.\nMagnetite or Magnesium Carbonate\nMagneslte proper, such as they aro\nmining In Washington, Is a carbonate\nof magnesium, generally occurring In\na massive, granular or oleavablo form.\nUs color may vary from whito to\nyellowish green, to drab greylBh white\nor brown, and it may be seml-tranB-\nparent or quite opaque. Two specimens from the quurrles in Washington\nshown me by Mr. Wlddowson are, one\na drub greenish grey soap-like and\nunctuous-feeling rock, resembling\n\"talc'1 or soapstone, and quite opaque;\nthe other, of a finer grade, a wax-like\nyellowish green, resembling the pale\nyellowish serpentine, with which tt Is\nsaid to lie associated at the quarries,\nit is semi-transparent and being a\ncarbonate, effervesces slightly with\nhotels but' not so strongly as does lime\ncarbonate. This magneslte is generally found In talcose-schlsts or dolo-\nmltle-magnesluu limestones, associated with dark olive green serpentine,\nknown as ve rile-antique, u Btone much\nprized by the Italian architects.\nDolomite or dolomltle limestone,\norten occurring in great mountain\nmusses in British Columbia, is a carbonate of lime and magnesium. With\naeid it effervesces but feebly compared to pure limestone. It is often of a\npale drab yellow to dull grey color and\nis the rock which contains the 16ad-\nsllver ores of the Electric Point and\nGladstone mines, near Northport,\nWash.\n\"Meer-ichaum\"\nA form of magnesian silicate familiar to smokers is that used In making\n\"meerschaum\" pipes. This exceedingly light clay-like sub-stance was\ncalled meer-schaum, or sea froth- or\nfoam, because It floated oh water. It\nwas ulso called \"sepiolite,\" from the\nbackbone of the cuttle fish, or \"sepia,\"\nsometimes put in birdcages, whioh Ib\nVery light and porous and a product\nof the sea.\nAnother familiar magnesian silicate\nIs talc, steatite or soapstone, used by\nschool teachers in place of chalk.\nThis is not the so-called \"talc\" of\nminers, which may be any kind of a\ngouge, clay or decomposed cock met\nwith in a mine. Steatite Is greenish\nyellow, with a greasy feel and easily\nImpressed by the finger nail.\nSerpentine, sometimes called marble,\nalso belongs to the magnesian-Blllcate\nfamily. It Is commonly associated\nwith marbles and limestones in the\nvicinity of Intrusive igneous or volcanic rocks. It Is of many shades oT\ncolor, from yellowish to olive green\nand dark red. Veins of It occur in a\nserpentlnous manner running through\nmarble and adding to the beauty of\nthat stone. A fibrous kind ol serpentine is known as \"chrysotlle asbestos.\"\nAs we have In our region many dolo-\nmittc limestones, marbles, talcose\nschists and states and igneous rocks.\nProspectors are liable tu come across\nsome form of these minerals either as\ncarbonates or silicates, the value and\nutility of the former is shown in the\nextensive quarries now being worked\nIn Washington. Magneslte is also\nlisted among the war minerals. As it\nis often difficult to recognize or determine some of these magnesian minerals at sight, recourse should be had\nto chemical analysis. Off hand, we\nmay say, that when a white rock supposed to be magneslte, will not at all\neffervesce with acids, It Is more likely\nto be a valueless silicate than a valuable carbonate or true magneslte.\nCALLS   HOUSE   COMMITTEE\nHANDLING RAILWAY ACTS\n(By Dally News Leased Wire.)\nOTTAWA, March 13.\u2014An effort is\nbeing made by Hon.

In one case Lord Kit\nehener is said to have withheld troops\nt^nd -paused a hitch In operations without notifying the first sea lord, while\nthe war council Is criticized for having failed to hold a meeting between\nMarch 19 and May 14. The commissioners also take the view that Lord\nkitchener was at fault in attempting\nto carry too much of the burden of the\nwar upon his own shoulders.\n^\u2022ByQjyen the commissioners are not\nunanimous and a minority report was\nbrought in. The statements of the\ncommissioners seem much more likely\nto awaken controversy than to end It.\nAnd controversy during the war upon\na matter tn which, those alleged to be\nat fault are no longer in control of war\naffairs, is waste of time.\n8RITI8H TAKE OVER  MORE OF\nV    THE WESTERN FRONT\nIt was just about a year ago that the\nBritish troops In France took over\nmore than three limes as much .of the\nfront as they had been holding. They\nextended' thelf lines to the Somme\nfront Upon -which'they carried to suo-\ncess the operations which now take a\nplace in the history of the war as tho\nfirst positive victories\" of the British\ntroops on the western front.\n' Today the British troops, according\nto a French newspaper, occupy twice\nas much bf the front as a year ago.

There are over 2000 prisoners\nof war on the books of the Canadian\nRed Cross society and they are confined In over 90 camps. After three\nmonths of uncertainty the regulations\ngoverning the sending of private parcels to prisoners of war have been\nissued as follows:\nPrivate' parcels of foodstuffs ahd\nclothing can.no longer be sent from\nCanada, Wit every Canadian military\nand civilian prisoner of war now receives through the Canadian Red -pross\nsociety at Lotion the following supplies:\nFirst, a capture parcel, then 7 shillings' worth of food and supplies for\none week, and 12 shillings' worth tho\nfollowing week and so on alternately\neach week. In addition six ponnds of\nbread each week is sent from Holland,\nor elsewhere. The weight that.may he\nsent each week to any prisoner Is limited to 3fi pounds. Warm clothing and\ncertain medical supplies are also permitted to be sent to the prisoners by\nthe Red Cross society. ' - \u25a0 .\nOne of the greatest difficulties ih\ndealing with the heeds of the prisoners\nIs the fact that they are so constantly\nmoved from camp to camp, but the\nRed Cross receives official notification\nof these changes.\nThe cost of providing for. each prisoner is approximately $120 a year, 910\na month, or 35 cents a day. '\u25a0 These figures show one very heavy liability\nundertaken by the society In the provision of supplies for prisoners, Involv-'\nlng an.outlay of 122,000 a month or\nabout a quarter of u- million a year.\n-  How Expanses Are Met.\nThese expenses are met (u) by specially designated gifts of money Bent\nIn to the Canadian Red Cross or dl-\nrectlyT'addressed to Mrs. Rivers Bulke-\nlejji, who' is in charge'bf this deportment of the society's work at the London office; (b) by the general funds,\nEi?om entertainments and\" undesignated\nsubscriptions nnd donations.\nAny donor of -$5 a month to the fund\nis (If des'l'red) allowed to \"adopt\" a\nprisoner: The difference between that\nand the jiff which It costs to support a\nprisoner a month, being made up from\nthe society's funds. Two facts are assured in this work: (1) that the prisoners urgently need these supplies; (2)\nthat the Germans 'deliver these parcels\nfaithfully,';.\nThe authorities are satisfied that 90\nper cent of such parcels are received\nby the prisoners. This has been made\ndear by ttie many letters and postcards received from prisoners now in\nSwitzerland and those returned to\nEngland. One man even after he had\nleft Germany wrote to say his parcel\nhad been forwarded on to him In\nSwitzerland. \/\nRelatives and friends who have been\nsending socks to the prison camps may\nnow send them either through the local branch'\"of the Red Cross or to Mrs.4\nRivers Bulkeley for enclosure in the\nprisoners' tW)fc.els. No other articles,\nof clothing'will be forwarded by tho\nsociety., The following lists are sample parcels, such as are, being sent to\nthe prisoners:\nSeven -shilling parcels, $1.76\u2014Ono tin\nroast mutton and vegetables; one tin\nfruit pudding, one tin jam, % pound\ntea, Vt tin unsweetened milk, one tin\npotted meat or fish, one tin fresh herrings, one tin pork and beans, % pound\ncarton margarine; -& pound' sugar; one\ncarton ration, meal biscuits.\nTwelve shilling parcel, $3\u2014One-\npound tin roast beef and vegetables;\none tin galantine chicken and ham; Vj\npound tea, & pound sugar, one-pound\ntin ration biscuit, one tin Norwegian\nherrings, one pot prepared mustard,\none 'fruitarian cake, one-pound tin\nsteak*and kidney pudding, one carton\nmargarine, 2% tins unsweetened milk,\none-pound tin apple puddings, one tin\ntuna paste, one tin spaghetti, ono tin\nbaked beans.''\nFor any Other particulars apply to\nthe Nelson secretary of the Canadian\nRed Cross, Mrs, R. M.. Bird.\nSWITZERLAND'S NAVY.\nTo speak of a Swiss navy sounds\nridiculous or merely frivolous. It is\na fact, nevertheless, that ironclads\nhave sailed on the waters of Lake Le-\nimin, and that to the \"master)' of the\nthe castle of Chlllon owed its\ninvulnerability for many years. \"Sea\npower\" played a great part in the\nprotracted struggle between Geneva\nand tho Counts of Savoy. About 1590\nGeneva appointed an admiral in\ncharge of the fleet; th 1616, the post\nwas filled by Noble Gallatin; his\nflagship, the Soldi, carried 10 pieces\nof ordnance.

At the\nfront there is only one mail, the mall\nfrom home.\nSomebody hns seen the great lorry\nor the'dusty wagon, us the case may\nbe, puill at the field post office. That\nIs all; but it is enough, and mysteriously the news spreads with extraordinary rapidity.\nIt is the first thing'that even men\nwho are dog tired say to one another,\nand the joyful tidings produce a\nwonderful effect. Men who a moment\nbefore had been dozing in some- quiet\ncorner awake with a start; while others who hnve been almost asleep\nwhere they stood, pull themselves together eagerly. And a purposeful\nstream of men wend'their wny towards\nthe distributing office\u2014although no\nsuch place exists. They collect?'that\nis, in the neighborhood of the platoon\nsergeant's stronghold.':   .'   .:; y\nThe man who knows that It is no\nuse going to look for a letter\u2014nnd,\nhappily, they are comparatively fowls not to be envied on these occasions.\nHis feBllngs, unless he Is a particularly morose Individual, must bo intensely\nbitter; and all the World must seem\nvery btack and desolate to the letterless man us he watches the crowd dissolve, each unit of It with the precious\nletters which will help Him forget the\npresent for a few minutes. How lonely\nIt makes men feel when day after day\nthe post comes ln and brings them\nnothing-only those who have to bear\nthe disappointment can possibly realize. Many a man has offered his pal\na fag\u2014which Is a great price\u2014and\neven money to bf allowed to read part\nof tits letters from home. Than this,\nno more can be said.   *\nThose who are too old to remember\ntheir schooldays may be able to understand what letters mean to the soldier\non active service. But in order to\nform a true estimate of the poignancy\nof his disappointment they must multiply their bitterest feelings of those\ndays a hundredfold\u2014and even then\nthey will be under tbe mark. Men at\nthe front are facing death dally\u2014and\nthey take the risks cheerfully\u2014but the\nletter which does not arrive today may\nnover reach them at all. It may be too\nlate! \u2666   '   '\nHow ; letters get to^ the front-\neven right up to the advanced positions\u2014is a mystery. But the organization of. the service reflects infinite\ncredit upon the postal departments ln\nthese faraway mazes behind' the field\npost office; and the last stages of a\nletter's journey are not the least In-;\nterestlhg. By lorry or by wason or\nby whatever mode of conveyance is\navailable, the bags are brought up.to\ntho various field post offices. As\nbag after bag Is thrown out fatigue\nmen seize them and carry- or drag\nthem to the sorters, who classify the\ncontents, as minutely as they can\nfrom the information   they   possess,\nTo what extent this can be done de-.\nponds upon the standing of the office\u2014\nwhether It Is a divisional, a brigade, or'\na battalion office.\nAt a divisional office, for instance,\nthe sorters aro concerned only with\nthe letters for headquarters and with\nthose for the component brigades,\nthe brigade office sorters are content\nto pick out the mall for headquarters\nand to forward the remainder to tho\nvarious- battalion offices, Where -tho\nwinnowing process is continued. The\nbattalion office sorters put the letters\nInto tho bundles for -headquarters and\nfor the component'Companies,\nThe final sorting Is done at the\ncompanies' offices; and by the time\nthe letters reach this stage of their\njourney- the human element bas become very noticeable.\nNob'ody who haB once seen the arrival of the home mull at the front would\nlet any man he knows go without a\nletter for more than a fow days. The\ndesolation Is heartrending\u2014for timo is\nlong, and only news from home can\nbreak the appalling monotony of the\nendless round of watch and wait.\nIt is really not necessary\u2014not absolutely necessary\u2014to send the men food\nfor they are welt looked after.

(By Dally News Leased'Wire.)\nLONDON, March 13.\u2014The belief ob-\ntalned in parliamentary circles tonight\nthnt the government would be successful in carrying the new Indian cotton\nduties. This belief was not due to any\ncompromise on the question either\nfrom the side of the government or the\nLancashire members. Premier Lloyd\nGeorgo has supported J. Austen Chamberlain, secretary for India, in making\na firm stand on the question.\nOn the other hand, the Lancashire\nmembers, after a meeting at the house\nof commons tonight, derided to move\nan amendment to tho government motion for tomorrow, repudiating thc imposition of the duty unless a countervailing excise duty was Imposed.\nWhile the premier succeeded in impressing the deputation representing\ntho Lancashire cotton interests, timing\ntho government policy as a war measure, tho real factor in bringing about a\nprobable arrangement Is general reluctance to precipitate a general election.\nIt Is said that this reluctance has decided ex-Premfer Asqulth and his followers to do nothing that might place\ntho government in an embarrassing\nposition. Henco they are unlikely to\nsupport the Lancashire amendment If\nit Is presented and pressed to a division.\nNationalists' Stand Uncertain.\nTho attitude of tho Nationalists is\nstill uncertain. They desire to establish a tariff system under Irish home\nrule and It would therefore be lltogical\nfor them to oppose tho Indian duties\nmuch as they wish to vote against the\ngovernment, It is believed that they\nwill abstain from voting.\nPremier Lloyd George today received\na deputation representing the Lancashire cotton industry, and thc subject\nof cotton duties in India was discussed. Tho proceedings wero private, but\n\u00ab member of tho deputation who was\nInterviewed after tho conference said\nthat tho premier held out no hope thai\ntho govornmont would alter its decision\nor'consent to any compromise. The\npremier is said to have declared that\ntho proposal to place a protective duty\non cotton goods was considered the\npolicy of tho government and he appealed to Lancashire to bear with an\nabsolutely unavoidable burden. Tt was\nfurther stated that the premier said\nthut he was unable to accede to Ihe\ndeputation's request to postpone the\nwholo matter until after the war.\nMembers of tho deputation stated\nthat tho premier had said ho had been\nconsulted by the Indian government\nregarding tho Imposition, of duties.\nThey added thnt he had made a\nmost Impressive speech, explaining the\nnecessity of tho rfwiew \u25a0which would\nnot bo without effect i iu Lancashire,\nand tt is possible, that as a result of\ntho Interview, there wilt bo some modification of tho views of the Lancashire\nmembers, who proceeded to the house\nof commons to take tho mutter under\nfurther consideration.\ntlnulng his work, while several sup\nporters of the government are pressing their claims for the position, pro\nvldlng thut the present superintendent\nran be frozen out of It.\nForemost among the applicants Is\nMaxwell Smith, formerly a Dominion\ngovernment fruit pest inspector, and\na few years ago one of the Liberal\ncandidates in the city of Vancouver.\nThe fact that Mr. Smith has served\nthc Liberal party faithfully and that\nhe comes from the coast Is considered\nhi political circles here tn place him\non the Inside trnck In the race for the\njob. And thero Is another reason. Mr.\nSmith had the Liberal nomination for\nDewdney and was ousted from It by\nMr. Oliver, who was olected for that\nseat Mr. Smith's frionds feel that\nthis gives him a special claim upon the\nminister of agriculture.\nIt is said thnt one proposal which\nlias been mado by friends of Mr.\nSmith Is that Mr. Manson should be\nousted on the plea that Mr. Oliver, the\nminister of agriculture, would carry\non the work. The minister could do\nso for a month or two and then, on\nthe claim that the work was increas\ning, hand the position to Mr. Smith.\nPossibly the situation will develop\nbefore the ond of the session. In the\nmeantime raising of another slice of\ntho $15,000,000 authorized by the agricultural credits act M being delayed\nand, as the first $1,000,000 has been\ndisposed of, there will for the* time\nbeing be no further loans to farmers.\nDISCUSSED I0DAY\nREGINA, Sask.\/irarch 13.\u2014No action wos takon with regard to tho offer of the British government to buy\nthis year's crop of Canadlnn wheal, at\ntho first day's sitting of the Canadian\nCouncil of Agriculture held hero today. This matter, according to officials of thc council, will como before\ntho meeting tomorrow and at tho afternoon session the election of officers\nwill atso take place.\nTwo sessions of thc council wore\nhold In the morning nnd afternoon today,\nThnt tho Dominion and provincial\ngovernments wore doing all in tholr\npower to meet the farm labor situation\nthis spring, was the opinion of tho\ncouncil. -   *1\nHon. Mr. Langley reported that by\narrangement between the Dominion\nauthorities and provincial governments\nof Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al-\nhorta, It has been decided to sond a\nconsiderable force of mon Into the\nstates with the object of securing farm\nlabor for the farmers of tho prairies.\nTen men would bo sent from .Saskatchewan and six each from Manitoba\nand Alberta. Tho Dominion government would also be responsible for a\nnumber df suoh agents.\nThe head tax on Chinese should bo\ntaken off, according to a resolution Introduced at today's council.\nTho council, after considering tho\nresolution, referred it to a special committee to bring in a report.\nB.

R. McMillan, tho Canadian special timber\ntrade commission, on thu timber Import trade of Australia. The report\ndeals more particularly with the serious decline tn Austruliun Imports of\nBritish Columbia lumber. In a preface\nto his report, Mr. McMillan states that\n\"thc serious decline of Canada's share\nof Australia's limber imports would\nat any time demand attention. That\nibis loss ol\" trado in raw products between two neighboring British dominions should take place at a time when\nrelations is gaining favor, and should\nbo most marked in a trade in which\nCanada not only possescss all the natural advantages, but In which she has\ngreatly Increased her productive\ncapacity during thc period of trade, Is\na matter of serious concern.\"\nAfter declaring that the chief obstacles in the way of developing lhe\ntimber irade with Australia are tho\n^on-British character of the trado\nchannels, and stating that the trado\nhas been \"driven lo death,\" Mr, Mc\nMillan says:\n\"Canadian concentration on develop\nment of domestic opportunities has\nboon such that no Canadian firms\npaid attention to building up a trans\nPacific timber brokerage and shipping business. Such business has been\nentirely in the hands of What are\nchiefly United States companies, ami\nnaturally they, finding a surplus of\ntimber for export at their doors, found\nit no advantage to come to Canada fur\nsupplies.\nLooks Like Righting Itself\n'\u2022'Fortunately, this condition shows\nsigns of righting itself, Canadian\ncompanies, properly equipped to carry\non a shipping business, arc now entering the Hold, with results that cannot, fail to bo of benefit to Canada,\n\"A tremendous overproduction of\nlumber on the Pacific coast, and thc\ndumping of this lumber abroad under\nconditions of competition ruinous to\nmany of the producers engaged in it,\nhas resulted for several years from\nthe unorganized slate of tbe lumber\nindustry. The competition lias so\nflooded the Australian market from\ntime to time that Canadian mills have\nnot been attracted to foreign trade. A\nstronger organization of United States\nmilts is now in effect which promises\nto prevent lumber dumping.\n\"The Australian market, is a growing one. It will long continue to bo\nsecuiid only to the Canadian prairies\nas an outlet for British Columbia\nlumber, It possesses an additional importance. Should Canada supply only\none-half Australia's timber requirements, sho will lay tho foundation of\na powerful merchant marine on tho\nI'aciflc, which will ln turn exorciso a\nprofound influence on tho development\nof hor ports and subsidiary trading\nand maritime industries.\n\"So long as there lies, across a fow\nthousand miles of water, a sure market\nand that within tho Empire, for all of\nwestern Canndn's most conspicuous\nand superfluous resources, so long\nshould Canadian timber industries co-\nqperato in supporting Canadian exports and shipping interests to secure\nthat markot.\"\nTho presont condition, Mr. McMillan\nsays, Is largely the result of lack of\ncooperation and foresight on the part\nof Canadian lumber manufacturers\nand' it will continuo unless constructive action supersedes lethargy.\nAs an indication of tho growth of\ntimber imports Into Australia, Mr.\nMcMillan points out that between 1903\nand 1913 the value of tho importation\nof lumber and logs jumped from\n\u00a54,315,737 to $12,94E>,0i2, an increase of\n198 per cent. *\nget a small bottlo of bisurated mng-\nnesia rrom their druggist and tako a\nteaspoonful itv a quarter of! a glass of       Brantford   board   of  education .will\nhot or cold -water alter meals, repenting   recommend to council, as n result of\nlu  fifteen  minutos, li\" ncceHsnry,  this! recent scarcity of coal,   that   a   coal\nbeing the doeo whioh tho doctor has I trestlo and a year's supply bo kept on\nfound most efficacious in all easos.\u2022   \"hnnd to nvert nnothor famine.\nHere's Something You\nHave Been Looking For\nSOLID  LEATHER CHAIRS-- -5\/10 (10\nWorth ?75.00, for  ytu.UU\nLEATHER   UPHOLSTERED   CHAIRS\u2014 017 RO\nSolid Quartered Oak.

Neville Chamberlain has recently sent a letter\nto Lord Rhondda, inviting tho cooperation of the local government\nboard, In which he Intimates his intention of immediately issuing an appeal for volunteers to enroll in tho industrial army for national servlco. To\nbring tho appeal home to tho people\nconcerned, Mr. Chamberlain states, ho\nturned first to the local authorities\nwhose aid was invoked for military recruiting In the earlier stages of the\nwar, nnd whoso assistance he wants\nfirst ln organizing local recruiting\ncampaigns for the Industrial army and\nsecond in providing suitable premises\nfor the necessary local committees for\nthe Interviewing of volunteers in regard to (heir qualifications; and, if\npossible, somo staff; assistance.\nIt will be necessary, Mr. Chamberlain states, in order to obtain a large\nnumber of volunteers to open a vigorous recruiting campaign.

James O'Shea appeared for the plaintiff and H. C.\nCrowe of Trail for the defense.\nThe case pivoted about the indentlfi-\ncatlon of two heifers said to have been\nImpounded by the defendant, Harry\nAnderson of Trail, claimed as his property by tho plaintiff, John Rebalkin\nof Thrums, and sold by him to W. H.\nSmith of Annable for $62.50 and later\npurchased by the plaintiff from Smith\nfor $100. The plaintiff's claim is for\nthe recovery of this sum.\nRebalkln's story, which was substantiated by a number of witnesses, wob\nto the effect that he had turned a\nJersey and a dark red heifer over to\nHarry Anderson for pasture on his\nrange and that eight months later, on\ncoming to claim the animals was unable to find them. He then heard that\nAnderson had sold two heifers of the\nsame breed as his to Smith and went\nto Smith's ranch, where he picked the\ntwo animals bought by Smith from\nAnderson from a, bunch of about 75\nhead of cattle. These he claimed were\nthe same heifers that he had put to\ngraze on Anderson's range.\nIn this portion of his statement he\nwos supported by Smith, who stated\n1 4 \u2666\u00ab\u00bb\u00bb\u00bb*** * \u2022 * *\u00ab s m \u2022 M M ***'\u2666\u2666\u00bb' * \u00bb \u00bb\u00ab \u00bb\u2666\u00ab\u00bb*\"\nNelson News of the Day\na  a*,aT,AAAAAAafc, i\nthat ho told the plaintiff that ho might\nhave the animals for $100, but that ho\nwould not nave sold them at all If he\nhad not thought that they had originally belonged to tho plaintiff. Re-\nbalkln bought them.\nAnderson's Statement.\nHarry Anderson declared upon tho\nstand that when the animals wero\nbrought to his place they wero \"long\nhaired and lousy\" und otherwise in\nlioor condition, whereas the heifers\nclaimed by Rebalkin wore fine, short\nhaired animals In good condition. This\nstatement was flatly denied by Rebalkin In rebuttal, the plaintiff bringing several witnesses to show that the\nanimals had been well kept by him and\nwere In prime shape when left at Anderson's ranch.\nAnderson further claimed that he\nhad given Rebalkin to understand that\nas his range was only partially fenced\nho would not be responsible for the\nanimah- remaining on the range. Tho\ntwo heifers which ho sold, he said,\nwere stray cattle, which he had repeatedly tried to drive from his ground.\nFalling ln this he had kept them impounded and having the authority of\npoundkeepcr sold them at public auction for their'keep. Previous to the\nsale he advertised for their owner\nthrough Thc Dally News.\nJudgment was reserved.\nPUNS HADE FOR\nST.

Melvllje Parry, a former resident of Nelson, has returned to his\nhome In Calgary after serving nearly\ntwo years at tho front, during which\ntime he rose from the rank of private\nto captain and won the Military Cross\nfor bravery.\nCapt.

Outside of these mementoes from Fritz, the captain stated\nto a Winnipeg paper that he felt as\nfit as ever. Reports received in tho\ncity state that he is able to limp about\nfairly well with the aid of a cane, and\nIs cheerful, but uncommunicative\nabout actions at the front In which he\nparticipated.\nHowever officers and men who were\nwith him at the front and who returned on the sarno train, speak in\nthe i highest praise of tho captain's\nbravery. \"He would light a cigarette\nwhen the time came to go over tho\ntop and was tho first over, after which\nhe was busy keeping us going over one\ntrench after another, until I thought\nhe would lead us all the way to Berlin himself.\"\nCapt. Parry's recognition from his\nsuperior officers camo as the result\nof his courageous work in no man's\nland, where strong stomachs j and\nbrave hearts aro required. It was\nthere he received his wounds, while\nturning over the dead and wounded\nto see if any nfd could be rendered\nthem. After receiving his last wounds,\nNov. 18, 1916, he lay in an unconscious\ncondition for four days while on his\nway to England, where he was placed\nin an English hospital.\nIn recognition of his splendid services Capt.

MoHARDY, AGENT\nPHONE 135\nGREEN BLOCK\nmmsmmwmmmm\nITALY'S TRANSPORT\nDIFFICULTIES VIEWED\nROME, Italy.\u2014The increasing general dissatisfaction with the present\nrailway service in Italy, particularly\nthe freight service, lias induced thc\nGlornnle d'ltulia to obtain a statement\nus to railway conditions and problems\nfrom Signor de Come, thc general\nmanager of the state railways. This\nofficial pointed out that before Italy's\ndeclaration of war, thc amount of\nrolling stock at thc disposal of the\nrailways was scarcely sufficient for the\nordinary traffic according to thc regular allowance of a truck for overy 3300\nlircs* worth of goods and a locomotive\nfor every 100,000 llrcs' worth of goods\nannually. -Since the war but little had\nbeen added to this rolling stuck owing\nto thc difficulty of obtaining material\neither from homo or from abroad;\nwhile as to military needs more trucks\nwere required nt present than at the\ntime of the Initial mobilization, when\nspecial trains were run at a high\nspeed all In one direction and without\nintermediary stops. Now tin; military\ntransports wore of a very varied nature, running in different directions,\nhence they could not he effected so\nexpeditiously, and necessitated tho\nemployment of a large number of\ntrucks. On several linos ovor 100\ntrains a day passed, while there were\nsome over which more than 120\ntrains ran In thc 24 hours and nt sumo\nof the principal stations thc number\nof trains a day reachod 300, 320 ami\noven 350. 1 < ;\nOrdinary traffic, Slgnor de Corno\ncontinued, was also being carried on\nunder abnormal conditions owing to\ntho closing of tho Arlatlc ports.\nMany of the goods now landed ul tho\nMediterranean ports must be carried\nfarther by rail than formerly and the\ninland traffic had nlso become heavier.\nIn view of tho fact thut goods for-\nmiily obtained locally now hud to lie\nprocured from a distance. Thus wood\nfor fuel now truvoled from Falconuru\nAlbonese to Schlo, charcoal from\nNaples to Adrla, salt from Trapanl to\nDomodossoln and so forth. The distance covered annually by each loaded\ntruck had risen from 9S29 kilometres\nln 1913-11)14 to 11,189 kilometres In\n1915-1M6 nnd the average load of each\ntruck from 8.60 tons to 0.69 tons. The\nvarious agricultural services had also\nrequired more trucks this year than\nlast. During thc vintage of 1916, 62.-\n916 Irucks were employed, against 15,-\n449 in 1915, for thc sugar Industry\n50,000 trucks compared with 40,000;\nthe tomato Industry uf Campania cm-\nployed 4000 trucks In 1910 against 280O\nIn 1916, while for the transport of\noranges and lemons from Calubrlu and\nSicily 9980 trucks woro used up to\nDoc. 31, 1916, nnd 5603 trucks in 1915,\nand of these 4000 trucks crossed tho\nfrontier and were thus detalnod\nlonger. Again, during 1916 103,000\nirucks curried fertilizers as compared\nwith 92,600 thc preceding year, while\nduring the second half of the year\n30,024 trucks, ugalnst LM.Isii, were\nloaded with provision**, und within\nfour months alone 5000 trucks transported rice, as compared with an Insignificant number last year.\nIt was owing to the large consignments, In addition to thc mllltnry\ntransports, that tho less importunt\ntrurfic had had to suffer, Slgnor dc\nCorno observed, uspeclully as many\ncauses combined to lessen the actual\nserviceability of thn trucks, such as\nslowness In lending and unloading\nowing to the scarcity of men, unhnitla\nnnd vehicles, tho dim lighting at\nmany stations nnd so forth. In 1916,\nhe added, 3000 trucks und 100 locomotives wore ordered from America,\n(he first consignment of which was\nexpected shortly, while nnother 3000\ntrucks anil 50 locomotives were being\nconstructed In Italy, but thu difficulty\nof procuring material ami thc demands\nmnde upon tbo factorlotl by the military iKi.hn.l.i.s lotitrdad I he war!;, 10 '\nHi-11   vvder*   entered   before   \\\\\\o  yt\u00bbr[y\nBell Trading Co.\nPHONE 56.\nwere still awaiting fulfilment.
