C, TUE8DAY, AUGUST 19, 1902.\nNO. 100\nIS\nNOT DESIBED\nCity Council Will Not Cut\nScavenger Expenses\nSelous' Proposed Tax Sale is\nKnocked on the Head\nTho consideration of the extravagances in connection with the city's\nscavenging department was the chief\nbusiness transacted at the meeting of\nthe city council Inst evening. This\nmatter was introduced hy alderman\nScunlan, who advanced several reasons why tho citizens should not he put\nto the expense of maintaining a sanitary\ninspector whose work consisted in looking after hut one day scavenger. His\nefforts were unavailing, however, at\naldermen Selous and Hamilton, as well\nas the mayor, failed to see that there\nwas any opening for retrenchment in\ntills department of the city service.\nSome time ago tho council cut down\ntlie salaries of all the officials, hut on\nthis occasion the salary of the sanitary\nInspector was spared on the understanding that he should go on the scavenger\nwagon in the dny time and thus save\ntho expenso of ono man. At the time\nIt wns freely stated that the sanitary\ninspector was averse to going on the\nwagon nnd that it tho ruling of the council was insisted upon that the city\nwould ho obliged to look for a new\nsanitary Inspector, nnd in view of the\nvote taken upon the question at the\nmooting of the city council last evening, It looks ns If the sanitary inspector\nwould make the bluff stick if lie mnde\nit as alleged.\nAlderman Scunlan referred to the mat-\ntor first whon tho report of the public\nworks conimitteo was read. He said\nthat It had heon decided hy the committee to have tho matter come before\ntlie council in tho form of nn open\nquestion rather than with any recommendation from the committee. At the\npresent tlmo there was hut little work\nfor the scavengering department. There\nwas hut one night m\u00abn. He mado hi.\n\u25a0rounds nnd then went home, nnd he was\nnot employed for very many hours during tho night. In addition to this man\nthere was a day scavenger, and In the\nopinion of alderman Scunlan, with so\nsmall a scavengering department there\nwas no necessity for a sanitary inspector at a salary of ?90 per month to walk\naround the city. He thought that a\nsufficient sanitary inspection could he\ncarried on with the Inspector on the top\nof the day scavenger wagon. This phasi\nof the matter he said had heen discussed\nat a previous meeting of tho council,\nand a decision was arrived at that the\nInspector should take one of the wagons.\nAt tills time there were two wagons engaged In the day scavengering work,\nhut threo days later one of the wagons\nhad heon tnken off nnd It hnd seemingly\nnot heen necessary since. Alderman\nScanlan accordingly moved a resolution\nto tlie effect thnt sanitary Inspector\nSymes he required to drive the day scavenger work, and that in the event ol\nthe scavenger work increasing that the\nInspector he authorized to secure additional help to drive the other wagon\nand that he receive the same salary as\nat present.\nAlderman Irving expressed his agreement with the resolution,, and seconded\nIt.\nAlderman Selous opposed the resolution. He said he did not think the\nofficer could carry on his Inspection\nfrom the top of n scavenger wagon.\nMayor Fletcher was also opposed to this\nvariety of economy. He snld the resolution In effect meant that there was uc\nnecessity for a sanitary Inspector.\nAlderman Scanlan said In reply that\nthe scavenger department wns worked\nnt present with a large pay-roll, and the\npeople of the city were obliged to make\nit self-sustaining by the rates which\nwere paid. It was Idle to sny that the\ndepartment was self sustaining for the\nvery evident reason that if the city\nchose to appoint three men tn walk\naround as Inspectors It could make the\ndepartment pny its way by the rates\nwhich it imposed. He said the people\nwere kicking at the expense attachod to\nthe service.\nAfter some further talk the vote was\ntaken. Aldermen Scanlan and Irving\nvoted for the resolution, with alderman\nSelous voting nay.\nAlderman Hamilton, who had not said\nnnythlng during the discussion, did not\nvote, and the mayor called upon him to\nrecord. He then said that he would vote\nagainst tho resolution. He was so recorded, and the resolution wns thereupon declared lost.\nThe discussion on the matter was\nthen\" resumed. The mnyor said thnt\nfrom the report which had been submitted by the health officer the sanitary\ncondition of the city was not very good,\nand In reply to this aldermen Scanlan\nand Irving In effect said that such being\nthe case it did not speak well for the\nwork of the present inspector.\nAlderman Selous added it as his opinion that the city council owed it to the\ncitizens to see to It thnt there was a good\nsanitary Inspector. He explained that\nhe was not holding a brief for the present inspector. He expressed the opln-\n. ion that the inspector was paid too\nmuch for his services, but he was anxious to Bee that he carried on an efficient\nInspection. He also thought tho present\nofficial required Jacking up, and if it\nwas found that he did not do the work\nthe council should get a man who would.\nTills ended the matter and the subject was dropped.\nThe matter of the proposed tax sale\nwas referred to Incidentally. It came\nup In the nature of a return showing\nthe amount of taxes that would be collectable under a tax Bale, which included all arrears that weald be affected by\na tax sale at the present time. This\nreturn showed that including the arrears for the years 1898, 1899, 1900, and\nsuch arrears for 1901 as could he included by reason of previous arrears, the\ntotal amounted to but $2,771.25.\nWhen the figures were read, alderman\nHamilton said that so far as the tux sale\nwent, for such an amount, It was out\nof the question.\nAlderman Selous added that the amount was less than half of what he\nthought It was.\nAlderman Irving agreed that In view\nof the return it would not be advisable\nto have the sale.\nAlderman Hamilton, returning to the\nmatter said that taking the first two\nyears dealt with, it waa doubtful if\nthere was another city lu tbe province\nthat could show such a small total of\narrears.\nThere was some further disconnected\ntalk relative to the matter and finally\nthe mayor disposed of It with the remark, \"Well, 1 suppose that ends that\nmatter.\"\nThe report of the finance committee\nwas very brief. It recommended the\npayment of the account of P. B. Wilson\nfor the copying and filing of the city\nbylaws.\nThere were three sections to the\nreport of the public works committee.\nThe first recommended that the sanitary\nmid fire inspectors he required to keep\nu diary showing the work performed hy\nthem each day, and that the same be\nkept at the city offices.\nThe lire which started in the rear-of\nthe Presbyterian church as the result of\nthe accumulation of some grass, was\nthe reason for this recommendation, it\nbeing the opinion of tbe members of\nthe committee that efficient inspection\nwould have resulted in the removal oi\nthe grass before the fire started. The\nclause was adopted.\nThe second clause was adopted practically without discussion. It was that\nowing to the short hours required of\nhim the night scavenger should render\nsuch service as might be necessary in\nthe disinfecting and fumigating of\nbuildings, and without extra remuneration.\nTho third section of the report recommended that water be supplied to the\nresidents of the Hume Addition at current rateB, provided the necessary mains\nbe laid by the applicants and that satisfactory guarantees he given for the due\npayment of the rates. There was some\ntalk on this, but upon Its being shown\nthnt the terms were the samo as pro\nvlded in the case of the Falrview people\nsupplied, the recommendation of the\ncommittee was passe'd and the report as\na whole adopted.\nA report was read from the sanitary\nInspector relative to his Inspection of the\nwashories on Cottonwood creek, which\nstated that the Chinese premises were\nin fair condition.\nThe communication relative to the\napproaching visit of the party ot British\nJournalists wns read and a decision was\nreached that tho council should take\nsome steps to receive the visitors. As\nIt Is not known just when they are to\narrive It wns decided that the mayor\nshould extend a welcome to them tc\nvisit the city, and at the next meeting\narrangements will he perfected as the\nnature and extent of the city's reception.\nA long report was read from Dr. McLennan, city health officer. It covered\nthe first six months of the year, during\nwhich period the health officer said the\ncondition ot the city was very good.\nDuring this period there had been four\ncases of small-pox, two of which were\nof more than ordinary severity. They\nwere all casea which had been brought\ninto the city, three of them being distinctly traceable to the outbreak of the\ndlseaso In East Kootenny. There were\nperfect recoveries in each case.\nThere were twelve cases of diphtheria,\nnil of them being mild forms of the disease, and recoveries in each. In connection with this form of disease the health\nofficer recommended that the city provide an Isolation hospital, which would\nresult In considerable economy, and alao\nprove of great assistance in the event\nof an epidemic. This in the opinion of\nthe health officer, was to be feared In\nview of the present unsanitary condition\nof the city.\nDuring the six months there had been\nno cases of scarlet fever reported, but\nthere were several cases of typhoid. A\nnumber of these cases came from outside points for treatment, three of\nwhich hod resulted fatally. There were\nno deaths resulting In typhoid cases\nwhich could be traced to the use of city\nwater.\nThere were three deaths resulting from\ntuberculosis, and In connection with the\ntreatment of UiIb disease the health\nofficer recommended that all such bo\nreported the same as other infectious\ndiseases. He also recommended that all\nconsumptives be required to carry\npocket cuspidors, and that none of\nthem be allowed to work in any mill,\nlaundry or factory In the city.\nReference was made In the report to\nthe practice of some of tho Chinese\ngardeners in removing garbage from the\ncity dump for use as fertilizer, with the\nrecommendation that the practice be\nstopped.\nThe total number of deaths reported\nwithin the city for'tho six months was\n36, but this Included a considerable\nnumber who had been brought into the\ncity from outside points for treatment.\nThe report was referred to the local\nboard of health, which will meet next\nweek to consider It.\nOn motion of alderman Irving, It wns\ndoclded to give N. D. Stewart a water\nconnection at a cost of about $85.\nW. G. Glllett applied for a six-foot\nsidewalk on Silica street, from Hendryx\nto Park. The request was favorably received, and was referred to the public\nworks committee.\nThe council then went into committee\nof tbe whole to consider the list of arrears for water, scavenger and electric\nlight.\nCONDITION OFBRITISH FLEET\nSAID TO BE TOO FEEBLE TO FIGHT,\nTOO SLOW TO RUN AWAY.\nADMIRALTY SEVERELY ATTACKED\nFOR OVERCROWDING SHIPS.\nLondon, Aug. 18.\u2014The great naval\nparade off Spithead is filling columns\nof the London papers with indictments\nof the admiralty as well as pannegyrlca\nof the'magnificent pageant.\nWilliam Laced Cowles, the naval\nauthority, and who cannot be classed\nas an alarmist, writes that while there\nare a dozen very effective battleships\noff Spithead, and a few cruiBers, all comparing favorably with those *)f the best\nforeign construction, the bulk of the\nBritish fleet is \"merely an exhibition of\nflags, paint and gilding, and the major-\nty might as well be built of cardboard,\nns they are mere dummies, too feeble to\nflght and too slow to run away.\"\nThe admiralty is also coming in for\nscathing criticism on account of the\novercrowding of troops. Returning\ncolonial troops from Cape Town on the\nsteamers Britannic and Drayton George,\ngoing to Australia, were devastated with\nmeasles, pneumonia and pleurisy. The\nstories of filthy quarters and Inadequate\nmedicine and food rival anything charg\ned In connection with the fever ships\nwhich arrived nt Camp Wykoif, Mon-\ntauk point, Long Island, after the war\nwith Spain.\nOfficial statements from the ndmir-\nnlty all deny overcrowding, bnt the fact\nremains that after vigorous protests\nfrom Australia, tho transport Aurania,\nthen on the eve of sailing for Cape\nTown, before proceeding, disembarked\n520 officers and men, thus admitting\nthat the ship wns overcrowded to this\nextent.\nEven more serious from a national\npoint of view than the transport, remount and commissary scandals Is the\nproblem of caring for the hordes of discharged soldiers now clamoring for employment. There Is no question thnt the\nvarious relief organizations accomplished a vast amount of good throughout\nthe war. and they are still doing so.\nThey disbursed literally millions of\npounds sterling in aid of widows, orphans and Invalids, but now the workhouses of the United Kingdom are filled\nwith time-expired men, and In all the\nbig towns masses of volunteers and reservists nre vainly seeking for situations\nin place of thoso their employers promised to open after the war, but who did\nnot do so.\nStrangely while the cities are glutted\nwith men out of employment, the farm-\nera in all sections of the country are\nreported to he lamenting the dearth of\nfield hands.\nNEW BATTLESHIP MAINE.\nTo Bo Launched This Weok-A Formidable\nEngine of Wnr.\nNow York, Aug. 18.-A hoBt ot jueltles\naro Betting everything \"shlp-shapo\" aboard\nthe now battleship Maine, recently completed at tho Crumps, In rondlnoss for the\nofficial trial trip, which takes placo this\nweek over tho marked course between Cape\nAnn, Mass., and Capo Porpoise, Me.\nHor trial will be made to determine how\nwell sho steams, whether hor machinery\nworks smoothly and approximately what\nher speed is.

All the inhabitants, numbering 150 persons, were undoubtedly\nkilled.\nThe island is covered wltn volcanic\ndebris, and all the houses on it have\ndisappeared. The eruption is still proceeding, and is accompanied by submarine eruptions In. tbe vicinity, which\nmake It dangerous for vessels to approach the island.\nTorishima is one of a chain of islands\nextending between the Bouin islands\nand Hondo, the biggest island of Japan.\nNOT IN THE SYNDICATE.\nThe Cunard Line'Prepared to Fight Morgan Merger.\nLondon, Aug. IS.\u2014Maybe the insido his-\ntory of Plerpont Morgan's confabs with the\nCunard company will never be known.\nThe genernl under standing here is that tho\nstockholders In the famous old steamship\nline held out for a higher figure than Morgan would pay. At any rate, the key of\ntbe situation wns held, nnd Is held yet, by\na noble lord who has managed to keep\nhimself in the background pretty effectively, and whose picture has not appeared\nIn the newspapers. He la lord Inverclyde,\nwho, ns head of the Cunnrd company, is\nthe subject of keen interest on the part of\ntho British government just nt present.\nIf he should turn the Cunard lino over to\nthe American syndicate there would Indeed\nbe weeping and wailing and gnashing of\nteeth over here. It was bad'enough when\nthe Leyland line went, and worse when\nthe White Star line surrendered, but If the\nCunarders should go It would be considered\nnothing nliurl in* a national calamity.\nIt has been intimated to the government\nthat If they would grant a subsidy sufficient to enable the Cunard line to fight\nthe American syndicate, all would be well;\notherwise the blond would be on the government's own head.\nLord Inverclyde Is a man worth watching at present. He Is understood to be ono\nof the prime movers in the scheme to establish a line of ocean Jiyers botween\nLiverpool and Canuda, if a sufficient subsidy can be obtained from tbe dominion\nand mother country.

C. mine, bas shipped nearly one\nthousand tons of ore to the Hall Mining\n& Smelting company's smelter at Nelson.\nThis oro has been obtained from an open\ncut alongside tho railway track. It has\nbeen In demand at the smelter chiefly folks Iron contents, which wore required for\nfluxing purposes, rather than for Its copper\nnnd gold values. When the Standard Py-\nrltlc Smelting company was building Its\nsmelter at Boundary Palls Andrew Lald-\nlaw, then managing director, had some 050\ntons of ore sent down from the Emma, but\nthis was not treated owing to the pyrltlc\nmethod of smelting not having been tried\nut Boundary Falls, as was orfgiaally Intended It should be.\nThe Emma, having been crown granted\nsome time ago, had been allowod by Its\nowners to He unworked for several yenrs.\nIn 1890 W. T. Smith, for himself nnd Farrel & Midgeon, nf the Parrot works, Butte,\nMontana, who were co-owners, put a shaft\ndown about 100 feet and ran a cross-cut\nfrom It some 2~> feet. These workings\nshowed very nice looking copper ore, but\nthe shoot was never opened up to any extent. The Mackenzie, Mann & Co., syndicate acquired ihe Farrel ft Midgeon interest at tho same tlmo as they did those or\nthe same people In the properties at Phoenix since worked by tlio Dominion Copper\ncompany, which has heretofore allowed Its\nseveral Summit enmp Interests to remain\nIdle. At last, though, there appears to be\na reasonable prospect of tlie Emma being\ndeveloped, for a small power plant has\nbeen obtained from tlie Hull Mining St\nSmelting compnny, nnd delivered at tho\nmlno. This plant consists of a liTi-horso-\npower locomotive boiler, a 0x8 Bacon hoist,\nand two 31-4 Inch machine drills which\nwill bo operated by steam.\nIt is stated that a drift Is to be run from\nthe shaft in the ore shoot. Tho result of\nthis work will be awaited with much interest, for no underground mining work of\nany Importance bas been done In this part\nof Summit camp since operations were\nsuspended about three years ago on tho\nneighboring Oro Denoro, on which the\nKing Mining company, of Rossland, previously Installed a power plant and did\nsome 700 feet of development work. Thero\nare several llkoly-looklng prospects In the\nvicinity, so the successful opening up of\nthe Emma will probably lead to these having attention.\nTHE COKE FAMINE ENDED\nGRANBY  SMELTER WILL RESUME\nOPERATIONS ON THURSDAY.\nCROW'S NEST COAL COMPANY INSTALLING MORE COKE OVENS.\nGrand Forks, Aug. 18.\u2014The Granby smelter which closed down a week ago, owing\nto the coke famine, will resume operations\non Thursday.

Even should the results of the\ncolonial conference fall short of.anticipations, a very great deal of value to\nCanada has been accomplished in the\nperfecting of arrangements for the above\nmentioned projects. All along the 111(0\nCanada is progressing In all that pertains to national Importance. Canada is\ntaking a position In all the great Industrial and transportation movements that\nplaces her In the front rank of civilized\nnations. Tho old days of dependency\nand misgivings as to her capabilities\n.have passed, and today Canada has to he\nreckoned with iu every movement looking to trade expansion.\nWhilst to some extent natural growth\nts responsible for this new spirit ot\nenterprise It must be conceded that the\nbold, statesmanlike policy of sir Wilfrid\nLaurier and his colleagues in the Liberal\ngovernment In all matters pertaining\nto the development of Canada's trade\nhas been the chief factor. They had\nthe confidence and the courage to lend\nthe way. They seized the right moment\nto practically force Canada to the front,\nand as there wero not lacking the qualities to entitle her to a front place, that\nposition will be maintained. From now\non it may safely be predicted that Canada will occupy an ever growing influence In the world's work.\nThis realization of her potentialities\nwill assuredly have the effect of breeding a moro vigorous patriotism. There\nis need for a greater display of confidence In our own resources and capabilities. \"Canada for the Canadians\" has\nnot meant much in the past, and has\nusually been a cry used by those seeking some special privileges, without a\nthought for the real welfare of Canada.\nMANUFACTURERS'      ASSOCIATION.\nThe meeting ot the Manufacturers'\nAssociation at Halifax was characterized\nby two features that entitle their proceedings to some comment. There were\ntwo hundred mon in attendance and\nyet, notwithstanding the diversity of\nopinion that must have existed and been\nmanifested, they enunciated a tariff\npolicy, decided to prepare for some\nmeans of defence \"against the aggressions of trado unions,\" made a declaration upon the subject of technical education, and another In favor of an all-\nCanadian exhibition In Toronto next\nyear; all within the short space of one\nbrief dny.\nThis would appear to Indicate either\nundue haste in their deliberations, or\nan unanimity of opinion that Is nothing\nshort of the marvellous. Tlio tariff\nquestion alone Is one that is not so\neasily threshed out aB to permit of its\nbeing satisfactorily dealt with In so\nshort a time by so many men who must\nhave given expression to their vlows.\nunless they were so miraculously of the\nono way ot thinking as to render nny\nprolonged debate superfluous. As to the\ntariff favored by the association, tho\ndispatches state that a thorough revi\nsion was demanded, this to be upon lines\nwhich will \"moro effectively transfer to\nthe workshops of the dominion the\nmanufacture of many of the goods which\nare now imported from other countries.\" This Is almost identical with\nthe stand taken by some of the speakers\nut the board of trade convention ai\nToronto in June last, and in parliament\nby Mr. Blaln, one of Mr. Borden's lieutenants, who asserted that the \"tariff\nshould be so arranged that every Institution in this country manufacturing\ngoods to be consumed by the Canadian\npeople should have sufficient protection\nto keep out the same class of goods made\nlu any foreign county.\"\nIt Is In fact a rehash of the old cry for\nincreased protection on the plea of benefitting the home consumer and the taxpayer. As a matter of fact the Manufacturers' Association care just about as\nmuch for the interests of the Canadian\nconsumer or taxpayer as a wolf cares\nfor a lamb and iu precisely the same\nway. The phrase \"to transfer to the\nworkshops of the dominion\" is a particularly happy inspiration but it is\nbuncombe all the same. What is meant\nIs \"to transfer to the pockets of the\nmanufacturers.\" Can it be shown that\na high protective tariff, for that Is what\nthe manufacturers are asking for, has\nanywhere made the cost of the goods so\nprotected cheaper to the consumer In\nthe country where they were made? It\nIs not so In the United States, nor Is It\nso in Canada, Why Is it that goods are\nsold cheaper abroad than they are Bold\nat home? The answer is a simple one;\ntho manufacturers look to the home\nmarkets, from which foreign goods are\nkept out by a high tariff wall, for their\nbig profits. The peoplo cannot help\nthemselves, they cannot buy cheaper\nfrom foreign countries and the manufacturers insist on obtaining the same\nprico for the protected article as is\ncharged for the imported one plus a\nheavy customs charge. They must\nmanufacture as cheaply as foreign manufacturers or they could not compete\nwith them in the open markets of the\nworld and if they can manufacture as\ncheaply, they should sell to their own\ncountrymen, by whom they are protected, at a figure much below that asked\nfor the imported goods. That they do\nnot do this is an evidence of the true\nstato of mind that actuates their present\ndemand. They want a higher wall built\naround them so that they can make the\nhome consumer pay more than he does\ntoday for the goods they make; it if\nprofit they are after and not the interest of either workshop or taxpayer, consumer or retailer.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nThe Monetary Times Bays:\n\"Further investigation shows that the\n\"quantity of cedar available In British\n\"Columbia for shingle making is almost\n\"nothing, though at one time It was\n\"stated to be almost Inexhaustible,\n\"Puget Sound men, it Is said, have been\n\"looking for available tracts for six\n\"months without success.\" .\nJust where this contemporary obtained\nthis information is not stated, but it\nemanated presumably from an American source, possibly from some of the\nSound men to whom it refers. The\nMonetary Times should know that it Is\nnot likely to receive an ungarbled report\nfrom such a source. The Sound mill\nmen are feeling wrathy just now towards this province because of the\nexport duty on cedar logs, an impost\nthat hits them in their most vulnerable\nand sensitive spot, the pocket. If the\nPuget Sound men \"have been looking\nfor available tracts for six months without success,\" their failure to find what\nthey were hunting for Is due to one of\nseveral causes; either they did not look\nat all, or they did not know what they\nwanted, or their cruisers did not know\nwhere to look, or the British Columbia\nlumber men have corralled every acre\nof timber land on the coast, which Is\nnot likely to be the case. At any rate\nthe Times is at sea on this question; the\nsupply of cedar Is not exactly Illimitable but it is far in excess of preseut\nday needs.\nSome steps should be taken by the\nprovincial government for the prevention of forest flres. They might take a\nleaf out o fthe dominion government's\nbook and appoint Are rangers to guard\nagainst the heavy losses that are sustained by the province every yenr by\nthe destruction of millions of feet of\nvaluable timber. Not only Is the destruction of timber a matter to be prevented, but mnny of these forest flres\noften result In material damage to other\nproperty, and loss of life Is not an\nunknown occurrence. Timber Is one of\nthe most valtiablo assets the province\nowns and every care should be taken to\nensure Its preservation. The duty of\ndoing this falls to the provincial government In the greater part of the provlnco. Within tho railway belt tho\ndominion officers have proved that\nmuch can be dono to prevent the beginning nnd spreading or fires in timbered\nnronB, and what has heon done by them\ncan bo also done by tho province it the\nquestion is taken up In tho proper way.\nIn many sections of tho country the\nburning of the timber means a good deal\nmore than tho moro destruction of pros\npective lumber. It Is a well-known fact\nthat In sections where the head waters\nof streams are denuded of the timber\ngrowing upon the slopes forming the\nvalleys, the water courses cease to be the\nunfailing source of supply that was the\ncase before the denudation took place.\nIn localities where the natural precipitation of moisture is small and insufficient for proper growth and maturing of\nvegetation ,it is essential that the timber\ngrowing at the source of the streams\nthat supply the water for Irrigation\nshould be preserved, and if the government have any regard for the welfare of\nthe country they will take this thing in\nhand and by the appointment of competent men as fire rangers do nil in their\npower to minimise the annual destruction of our forest wealth.\nA committee of congress hns recommended the establishment of u coinage\nmint at Tacoma, Washington, basing its\nrecommendation upon the assumption\nthat thero is naturally tributary to the\nproposed mint an annual aggregate output of gold and silver of from ?30,000,000\nto 150,000,000. On a basis of $30,000,000\ntlie committee estimates that the saving\nto the government would be equul to\nthe expense of maintaining a branch\nmint at Tacoma. If there be wisdom in\nthis recommendation of congress it\nwould appear to be up to the dominion\ngovernment to consider the immediate\nestablishment of a branch mint at Vancouver.\nPhotolPiends\nWE ARE OFFERING\nOUR STOCK OF\nCAMERAS\nAT SACRIFICE PRICES\nTO REDUCE OUR STOCK\nCanada Drug & Book Co.,\nHIGH GRADE COFFEE\nKootenay Coffee Co.\nBoasters of Choice Coffees-\nQuantities   to   suit   at wholesale\nprices\nOur Java rand Mocha at 40o, and our\nChoice Blend at 25c.\nis the best value for the money,\nWe guarantee satisfaction if you\nbuy or order direct from us.\nPure Choice Teas\nAll varieties and grade.\nKOOTENAY COFFEE CO.\nWest Baker St.  Tel 177.

Gibson effects have been\nextremely popular this year and it fs\ndoubtful If any type of girl Is so universally admired.\nEven the Burne- Jones London type of\ngirl admits that the Independent air of the\nGibson model Is Inimitable and at her\nshrine we all bow In adoration.\nThere Is one feature about the Gibson effects that will always be distinctive, and\nthat Is the expansive shoulder arrangement\nwhich emphasizes the sllmness o\u00a3 the\nwaist so exquisitely.\nIn the Gibson shirt waists the plaits were\nvery wide at shoulders and narrowed to\nnothingness nt tho belt-line; tho Gibson\nyoke reverses this order somewhat Inasmuch as the narrowness Is effect at the\nthroat In a smart, but very slender stock.\nBoth yoke and stock are made In one piece,\nbut there Is no limit to the materials which\nono may use to gain such an arrangement.\nOne very pretty effect, however, displays\na yoke of pale blue crepe do Chine stripped\nwith pure lace, tho lace being graduated\nIn accommodation to the tapering effect at\nthe throat. Around the lower edge of the\nyoke there Is an applique of tho same lace\nencrusted with mork pearls and corals,\ngiving a very stunning effect.\nThe bodice over which the yoke Is worn\nIs laid in wide box plaits and these arc In\nturn arranged In the tiniest of pin tucks\nwhich stand out In corded effect from the\nplaits. The skirt fits closety around tho\nhips, with a Hare nt the hem which Is embellished with appliques of guipure.\nThe usefulness of a Gibson yoke is marvellous and the uses to which Is put are\nmanifold. For Instance an organdie frock\nwhich was very smart at tho beginning\nof the season with a yoke of alternate\nstrips of ribbon and insertion fs renno-\nvated with a Gibson yoke of valenclennes\nand organdie so that It looks like a newly\nturned out confection.\nAnother way of courting deception with\nthe Gibson yoke fs to make ft detachable\nand wear It over a low-cut bodice, thus\nturning the bodice Into an afternoon or\nstreet design.\nSleeves assume a great variety of design, but tho one prevailing rule Is that\nthey shall be close-fit ting above the elbow*\nnnd this seems to harmonize very nicely\n,\/with the Gibson idea. Indeed tho well-\ndressed woman of Gotham Is nothing if\nshe Is not harmonious and the minutest\ndetails are followed throughout her toll-\n* ettes.\nBelow tho elbow tho sleeve may be varied\nIn overy possible way as long as it has\nthe full pouch effect. The full length\nclose sleeve Is the only one of which fashion does not approve, and tho elbow sleeves\nare fashionable In any thin material for\nafternoon gowns and silk lace mils arc\nworn with them.\nAlthough thero nre quite a number of\nadvance fall fashions daily arriving, more\nattention Is paid to the novelties, for positive autumn modes will not be declared for\nn month yet. Something unique Is to be\nfound In china buttons. These are procurable round, square, oval or oblong and\ncan be bought following the designs of\ndifferent kinds of china. Dresden, Sevres\nnnd Staffordshire are the leading effects.\nCrystal and paste ball buttons are distinctive and these often form tho tassel\nto narrow loops of ribbon which have boon\nrun through tiny paste buckles, and replace the small flower tassels which have\nheen a good deal worn one way and another,\nBlack wool Is being used extensively for\nhand cmBroidcrles on gowns of etamlne,\nnlle, challle and other thin woolen materials, Conrsc white silk lace will be seen on\nblack silk coats and gowns nnd the lace\nwill have dots or stars done In black wool.\nMadame la Mode dictates at present thnt\nnil tucks shall be hand-run, and later she\nwill demand that all raised designs on\ndress materials shall be embroidered by\nhand. Theso will be placed on somewhat\nunevenly on purpose to show that they\nnre not woven la the material. Imitation\nhas been gotten down to such a line point\nnowadays that there Is scarcely any fash-\nIon that can not be duplicated with almost\ntho exact effect of the genuine article, so\ntho modistes find themselves taxed to their\nwit's ends to invent something that can not\nbe counterfeited.\nThero aro some very dainty fashions in\ntho shops for tho littlo folks. Aesthetic\ndross always seems to be suitable to children, hence the continued popularity of the\nRussian blouse and the full baby waist. In\nmany Instances the waist-lino Is Ignored\nentirely and the garment falls from the\nshoulders to the feet In an unbroken line\nfrom a pretty yoke or collar. Tho long\nsailor suits and little Lord Fnuntleroy\ncostumes for boys havo been on regie for\ntwo or three seasons, but not until this\nsummer have the from-the-shoulder-to-the-\nfeet models of little maids been In vogue.\nFor wearing with the (Irst breeches thero\nIs a curious little garment, which Is slipped\nover the head and has no fastening at all;\nIt Is set In a yoke and box-plaltod, the me-\nterlal being allowed to fall as It will from\nthe shoulders; the sleeves are slashed\nfrom tho outside of the arms and show\nunder white ones, apparently part of tho\nyoke. Sometimes It is made to button down\nthe back.\nFor little girls, lingerie hats made of\nlace, tucked lawn and china silk are very\ndainty, trimmed with a wreath of roses or\nn bow of soft pink ribbon. Very small\ngirls wear the poke shape, mndo of broad-\nbrimmed pliable hats which are easily\nmanipulated into shape and nre usually\ntrimmed with soft scarfs of liberty silk\nwhich pubs over tho crown and hang In\nlong onds at the sides.\nRibbon trimmings not only hold their\nown, but aro far In advance Df other ornamentation for mid-summer, as they do not\n\"muss\" with wear, humidity or salt air,\nnnd aro comparatively Inexpensive. Soft\nribbon is much used to trim evening frocks,\nA charming example Ib of white mousse-\nlino do sole, trimmed with soft white ribbon, tho ribbon running from tho wnlst-\nband to the hem, The bands lap a littlo\nat the waist and between them nt the hem\narc set In fans of the material plaited.\nThe bodice Is a simple baby waist with a\ngarniture of white violets. The elbow\nsleeves are also completed with tho whlto\nViolets,\nThe approaching visit of the duchess of\nMarlborough, who was formerly Miss Con-\nsuelo Vanderbllt, next week, has been\nforeshadowed in the large number of\ngowns ordered for fashionable society\nwomen at Newport. Her grace, it is known,\nis extremely graceful and famous for her\ngowns; and as she will undoubtedly bring\nover a gorgeous supply ordered for tho\npostponed coronation ceremonies of king\nEdward, Newport will be a veritable carnival of color when this popular titled\nAmerican girl visits her native shore.\nYour correspondent has had a glimpse of\nmany of the toilettes designed for the gaieties of the week that Newport will be entertaining its distinguished guests, for\npresident and Mrs. Roosevelt will be there\nfor a short stay, but then theso can best\nbe described from the scene of action and\na trip to Newport next week will result In\na full description of the models designed\nfor the women of that Mecca of millionaires and society leaders,\nMAUDE GRIFFIN.\nEMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH\nCELEBRATED   SEVENTY - SECOND\nBIRTHDAY YESTERDAY.\nSPECULATION AS TO SUCCESSOR TO\nHIS THRONE.\nVienna, Aug. 18.\u2014The seventy-second\nbirthday of emperor Francis Joseph was\ncelebrated today with elaborate fetes\nthroughout the dual empire. During the\nforenoon the members of tho foreign diplomatic corps presented at the palace telegraphic messages of congratulation from\nking Edward, emperor William, king Alfonso of Spain and others, in the capital\nthe anniversary of the emperor's birth was\nnever so generally observed. Public ollices,\nstores und factories were closed, the streets\nwere handsomely decorated and gala performances were given nt the theaters.\nSpecial thanksgiving services were held In\nall the churches and wero attended by\nthousands of persons.\nThe celebration In honor of emperor\nFrancis Joseph are not the forced tributes\nof downtrodden subjects, but are spontaneous testimonies to tho lovo and affection\nwhich this most generous monarch Is held\nby the peoplo. There Is no more popular\nruler In the world, nnd he has won this\npopularity by a uniform generosity and\nkindness to his peoplo over sinco he\nmounted to the throne, more thnn half a\ncentury ago.\nA keen observer of national conditions\nonco styled emperor Francis Joseph \"the\nmost universally respected monarch in the\nworld.\" The designation Is considered apt,\nfor ho and pope Leo XIII. are the last of\nwhat may be called the \"old school\" of\npotentates, and of the two the Austrian\nruler easily occupies llrst place In tho unqualified respect accorded him by all nations and all peoples. Tho aged pontine at\nRome, while revered by his millions of followers to n degreo closely nkln to adoration, must endure from his opponents full\nmeasure of that peculiarly intense hatred\nknown only to the heart of religious Intolerance. But the venerable emperor enjoys' not only the love of the people he\nrules\u2014a love having in It much of the intimate, unreasoning character found tn that\nof a child for its father\u2014but from political\nopponent as well as friend, from high and\nlow, from stranger and fnmilinr, respect\nsincere nnd full-measured, is his. It Is\nthis love and respect shown by all classes\nwhich, in the troublous times Austria has\nexperienced, justify the statement that the\nempire In its present form will endure so\nlong as emperor Francis Joseph lives, and\nIt fs because of realizing how much of the\nold emperor's power over his people Is\npurely personal that calm-thlnktng peoplo\nfear thnt when he has laid the scepter\naside the turbulent factions will overthrow\nthe entire governmental structure.\nA successor competent to rule tho quarreling nationalities which make up the\nmonarchy is not In sight. With crown\nprince Rudolph's death ended the life of a\nmnn who, although abundantly supplied\nwith the frailties of humanity, wns nevertheless loved Intensely by the larger portion of the Austrian and Hungarian people.\nHnd he lived, temperanco might have come\nwith mature years, and It is not impossible thnt he might have developed firmness nnd strength of chnracter, which,\naided by tho love his subjects bore him,\nwould havo enabled him to dominate and\nrule thorn. By his death, however, the\nAustro-Hungnrian throne was left without\ndirect successor.\nArchduke Francis Ferdinand, nephew of\nthe emperor, was selected as the heir apparent, but he wns frail, weakened, and\nailing, nnd only after long voyages and\nextended sojourns In southern climates was\nhis physlclal condition such ns to warrant\nthe hopo that he would live to rule, Next\nIn line of posslblo succession comes the\narchduke Otto, brother of Frnncls Ferdinand, A man of fine appearance, he now\nbegins to enjoy n certain amount of popularity among the people\u2014a popularity\nwhich for mnny yenrs public disgust made\nImpossible. Hair-raising tnlos nre told of\nthe excesses Indulged fn by htm and his\nofficer comrndes\u2014excesses so extreme that\neven the In no wise prude public of Vienna\nwas shocked and disgusted. Moderation\nseems to have come with years, however,\nand archduke Otto begins to enjoy a little\nmoro of honorable public attention thnn\nho did In the past. If ho does assume the\nImperial purple, It will bo chiefly to satisfy\nhis wife, the Saxon princess, Maria Jo-\nsepha, who Is snid to entertain strong\ndesires lo become empress.\nSince the marriage of Frnncls Ferdlnnnd\nto the countess Chotek r.umors have been\ncurrent that neither he nor Otto will press\ntheir clnlms to the throne, but will let\nOtto's n-yoar-old son Carl bo regarded ns\nthe heir apparent. But whoever of the\nthree comes to tho throne, tho outlook for\nthe restoration of peace through his rule\nIs not bright. Neither Francis Ferdinand\nnor Otto has been educated as the successful future ruler of Austria must be, while\nIn the ense of young Cart his ago and Inexperience would moro thnn likely cause him\nto succumb lo evil counsel. It Is this\npresent condition of affairs and the gloomy\nprospect for the future thnt causes earnest\nthinking mon of the empire to fear for the\ntime when Francis Joseph passes awny.\nPROMINENT NOVA SCOTIAN DEAD.\nHalifax, Aug.

Hon. A. S. Balfour, today\nthe first subject and servant of the\ncrown. By nature a dilettante and a\nphilosopher, he became famous as the\nmost strenuous and unspeculatlve of\npolitical practitioners; the gentlest of\nmen, so gentle that he was once given a\nladylike sobriquet, he has been tho\nhardest hitter and the most relentless\nmartinet thrown up by civil strife (or\nmany a long day. Mr. Labouchere did\nnot speak for himself alone when he once\ndescribed Mr. Balfour as a compound of\nthe old maid crossed in love and the\nfanaticism of a Familiar of the Inquisition. It has been his habit to spring\ninto particular public notice just when\nthe public is thinking least of him. He\nbecame a leader of the fourth party\u2014\nwhich consisted of leaders\u2014at a moment when his name was known only\nas that of the author of \"Phloisophlc\nDoubt,\" a book which everybody talked\nabout and few read. He was a quiet,\nunassuming secretary for Scotland at\nthe time when he was Induced by lord\nSalisbury to come forward as secretary\nfor Ireland, and plunge Into the vortex\nwhich had carried more than one statesman to his ruin; he had been generally\ncredited with lack of grip as leader of\nthe house of commons when he was\ncalled upon to take up the premiership.\nOn his first appearance as prime minister, nt Fulham, he cooed gently as any\npartisan dove could wish, but neither\npolitical opponent nor foreign commentator misunderstood the drift of his\nspeech. Geniality with Mr. Balfour can\ncover a very resolute purpose and mask\nan iron will. If we are able to congratulate him and ourselves on his preferment, it is because we know that\nwith Mr. Balfour things are seldom\nwhat they seem to the superficial. No\none could have anticipated that in him\nwould be found the best and strongest\nof Irish secretaries, and it may be that\nhe has as great a surprise in store for us\nin assuming the premiership.\nIt Is little more than ten yenrs since\nMr. Balfour was In the thick of the\nstruggle with the organizers of the plan\nof campaign. It seems today all a\ndream: yet how vividly we remember\na hundred episodes in Ireland and the\nhouse of commons in which Mr. Balfour\nstands out aB the hero from the one\npoint of view, and the villain from the\nother. The humor, the pathos, the tragedy, the intensity of it all, are revived\nby perusal of an odd newspaper or magazine article or pamphlet of the time.\nWhat names the Irish secretary was\ncalled! Even Mr. Gladstone could think\nonly of Bomba and base and brutal as\nfit terms in which to characterize the\nman who had resolved to spare neither\nIreland nor himself In the attempt to\nrestore law and order. \"Dictator, evlc-\ntor-general, and champion coerclonlst\"\nwns the sub-title of a brochure by one\nCnsslus, who sought to show that Mr.\nBalfour was ns Ignorant of Ireland as\nof humanity. The storm which W. E.\nForster and sir George Trevelyan had\nto face was a new rustle among the political trees compared\nwith the blizzard which swept\nround Mr. Balfour. He moved through\nit all, determined, good tempered, eager\nonly to show that in this case might was\nright. As a member of the fourth party\nhe learned something of the art of obstruction from the side of the obstructionists, and he was well qualified to\nanticipate the moves of the Irish members in parliament during his Irish secretaryship. His earliest appearance as\nIrish secretary wns greeted with contempt; contempt soon gave place to hatred, but hatred could not survive In the\nbreasts of warm-hearted men such as\nmost of the Irish members are for one\nwhom they came to recognize as a political Temple\u2014\"a beast, but a just\nbeast.\" Long before he had rendered\nMr. O'Brien's breeches innocuous, made\nNew Tlpperary a laughing-stock, and\nthe plan of campaign a term of reproach\nthe Irish members confessed to \"n\nsneaking regard' 'for the lmpertubnblc\npluck of the chief secretary. What they\nliked most perhaps was the absolute\nchivalry of the man. Mr. Balfour could\nnot know all that went on in Ireland but\nhe had given his orders, and for whatever transpired he,took the responsibility. The most Insignificant police-\nmnn in doing Mr. Balfour's bidding knew\nthat he ran no risk of being thrown\novcrbonrd to satisfy the wolves who\nyelped and howled for revenge. To this\nday possibly the Irish party hardly understand how their wiles were defeated\nby one rather young, wholly lackadaisical man, but thnt Mr. Balfour triumphed tho subsequent years have shown beyond question. Nor was his triumph\none of brute force only. He adopted\nmeasures for the reform of the laws and\nthe advancement of industry which will\nhave left their mark on Ireland for all\ntime. Charges of nepotism wero of\ncourse brought against lord Salisbury\nfor selecting nn nlmost untried relntlvo\nto fill so responsible n post, but the results achieved wero tho justification\nalike of lord Salisbury's choice and of\nthe policy pursued, if Mr .Bnltour wero\nnow to Infuse into the government of\nthe empire any of tho spirit which\nmarked his Irish secretaryship, there\nwould bo no need In the immediate\nfuture for injunctions to wnkc up. We\nshould all be very much on the alert\nindeed. The fear Is, of course, that ns\npresident ot the .imperial board of directors he will not have the same incentive to effort that he had at the Irish\nofllce. It would be unfortunate If the\ntonic of n crisis were always needed to\nrouse the prime minister to glvo the\npublic service of his best.\nMr. Balfour should mnke a good prime\nminister, first because he lias n thorough\ngrip of Imperial conditions, nnd second\nbecause ho knows humnn nature. He\nwill do nothing rash, nothing visionary,\nand will temper his responsibilities by\nn due regard for the claims of the golf\ncourse and the motor car; nor will he\nnttempt to mako us Immaculate by act\nof parliament. Long ago he came to the\nconclusion that conscience is necessary\nto intellectual effort, and that if we ever\nbecame all perfectly good we should also\nall become perfectly idiotic. Does the\nconverse apply? Mr. Balfour at least\nhas never shown any symptoms of a\ntendency to mental deficiency.\nMORGAN'S SHIPPING MERGER\nIT WILL   NOT   DOMINATE TRADE\nOF BRITAIN.\nGOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES WILL BE\nUSED TO FIGHT IT.\nThe earth is not yet Morgan's,' nor is\nthe federation of the British Empire to\nbe the accompaniment of the king's coronation. There are difficulties in the\nway of the completion of the Morgan\ncombine; there are greater in the path\nof imperial federation. If a hitch has\noccurred In regard to the former it will\nprove one ot two things: either that\nMr. Morgan has overreached himself,\nwhich we do not believe, or that there\nis some patriotism left In the great Atlantic shipping companies, which we\nBhould like to believe. If Mr. Morgan's\nfailure need not be anticipated, neither\nneed his success be a ground for unqualified regret. It would not imply an\nAmerican protectorate over the British\nEmpire, though that \"isn't such a bad\nidea,\" to quote a recent Milwaukee suggestion. Prospective heirs to the British throne are not yet in sight of the\npossibility of an American pension. On\nthe contrary, the best way to compel the\nBritish Empire to find Itself, and to\ngird up Its loins for new efforts, is to\nattack it. The Boer ultimatum in 1899\nwaB not an unmixed evil, and the empire is united in stronger bonds today as\nthe result of Mr. Kruger's ambition and\npretension. In the same way the efforts\nof the American trust to undermine the\nintegrity of the British shipping Industry promises to be a blessing In disguise. \"There Is some soul of goodness\nin things evil, would men observingly\ndistil It out,\" said Shakespeare, and one\neffect of the Morgan combine will be to\ngive the empire a Canuolan-Brltish service of fast passenger boatB and moderately fast freight boats, which will be\nthe Atlantic counterpart of the Canadian-Australian liners on the Pacific. It\nhas long been a ludicrous dispensation\nthat anyone anxious to get to Canada\nfrom England In a hurry has been compelled to take boat to New York, and\ntrain thence to the dominion. Quebec\nIs much nearer England than is New\nYork, and in winter, when ice blocks the\nSt. Lawrence, Halifax will be the port,\nand will bring England nearer still. Mr.\nPirie, who is ono of the parties to the\nMorgan arrangement, contends that it\nwould be a bad thing for England If\nthe deal were not completed. It would\nbe a good thing for England and the\nempire If some of the profits which will\ncome Into British pockets for handing\nover part of our shipping to American\ncontrol were spent In building a rival\nand nn nil-British service. The Canadian Pacific railway, by taking the initiative in the matter of the proposed\nnew line, Is adding to tho obligation\ntintler which it lias already laid the\nwhole empire,\nIt Is a pity that the lesson taught by\nthe Morgan trust has not been lnid to\nheart by the statesmen who have been\nin conference at the colonial office. The\nking's domains throughout the world\nshould form an imperial trust, to be promoted in the interests of Its members\non the lines of tho American trusts.\nThere wero enthusiasts who hoped that\nsome definite scheme for the closer\nunion, and the consequent furtherance\nand protection of British Interests,\nwould be tbe outcome of Mr. Chamberlain's official interviews with the colonial premiers. All the signs pointed to\nsome important departure. Mr. Seddon\nwas nn earnest advocate of a strong pro-\nBritish scheme, both commerclnl and\npolitical, sir Edmund Barton assured\nhla friends In Australia that the colo-\nninl office meetings were not to be mere\nappendages to the coronation festivities,\nand sir Wilfrid Laurier committed himself to the opinion that the corn tax and\nthe invitation from Mr. Chamberlain\nmennt business. The hostility which a\njealous world shows towards all things\nBritish, the unsatisfactory state of our\ntrade returns, the one-sldedness of the\narrangements for the defence of the empire, the devotion ot the colonics, as\nshown on the battlefields of South\nAfrica, and the eagerness of every part\nof the empire to promote commerce with\nits fellows rather than with the foreigner, might well be regarded ns affording a series of almost irresistible arguments in favor of a closer nnd moro\npractical form of union than exists at\npresent. But little Is to be done after\nall, and mainly because, as sir Edmund\nBarton once said, tbe Briton Is less ready\nto risk his money for the prospective\nbenefit of the empire than he is to risk\nhis blood. Certain colonies hnve already given the mother country advantages over the foreigner In their customs\nhouses, nnd tho preference given by\nCannda since queen Victoria's diamond\njubilee will probably be extended by\nother colonies. Austrnlln, for some\nyears past, hns provided the up-kcep of\na special Australian squadron, nnd South\nAfrica contributes some ,E 30.000 n year\nfor naval purposes. Very little more\nthan this is 'to be dono in the immediate\nfuture. There Is a disposition to criticize the unpreparedness of the colonies\nto mnko larger monetary sacrifices for\nthe snke of Imperial defence. But why\nshould they? They rally to the empire's\ncall in the hour of crisis, nnd If we of\nthe old countrv nre not willing to sacrifice any pnrt of our fiscal scruples In the\ninterests of closer union we cannot expect tho colonies to show themselves\npnrtlcttlnriy enthusiastic. But however\nlittle or however much mny result from\nthe colonial conference, we always havo\nthe comforting assurance Hint the unity\nof the empire Is safe. Sentiment will\npreserve It until business is ready to\nconsolidate It.\nHANK WRECKER SENTENCED.\nDetroit, Midi,, Aug. 18,-Juilge Murphy\ntodny sbntonocd Frank c, Andrews, who\nwns found aunty on Saturday of having\nmisapplied and misappropriated funds or\nthe wrecked City Savings bank, to fifteen\nyenr.s at hnrd Inbnr In Jackson prison.\nAndrews never winced whon sontonco wns\npronounced.
