The men of the party are quartered at the dormitory building ot Columbia university,\nThe advance guard of the teaching\narmy concurred In the opinion that the\nproblem In solving which they expect\nto obtain tbe greatest nld from America\nls tbe bridging of the chasm between the\nEnglish primary and secondary schools.\nClass prejudices and lhe traditions of the\nold schools present an obstacle to the coordination of the branches of the educational system of England that has seemed well nigh insurmountable.\nThe problem Is social rather than\nscholastic. It is a period of great transition from the old system of private\nschools to public education, and against\nthla there It a strong undercurrent of\nclass prejudice. That several members\nof the cabinet bave their children attending the. aoboola of the common\npeople la a little more than English tradition oan swallow all at one gulp.\nIllustrating what the public school\nteacher haa to contend with, the spokesman of the English teachers told of the\nclass feeling exhibited where a public\nsecondary school, equivalent to our\nhigh sohool, was established. The publio school boys challenged the Ixiys of\nthe private school in the borough at\nfootball. The private school fellows replied that tt was beneath them to play\nwith boys who didn't pay their tuition.\nThe professors In tbe public school were\ngraduates ot tbe same universities as the\nteachers ln the private school, but\ncaste prevented their association.\nSlowly these barriers are being broken down, and today the poor boy of London has at least a free education open to\nhim from kindergarten to university.\nBut he has to earn lt by -\u25a0winning a\nscholarship, and outside- London there\nis a wide breach between the primary\nand second**\" schools.   .\nThe visiting teachers were much Interested ln learning the status of the\nteacher In America,\n\"Is teaching yet recognized as one of\nthe* learned professions?\" they asked.\n\"Do you have any learned professions\noutside law, medicine and theology?\"\nIn England, they said, pedagogy has\nnot yet received the recognition which\nthey believe ls due to U as a profession.\nThere ls the same cry In England as\nln America for better pay for the teacher. There, as here, the teachers boast\nthe noblest and most useful profession\nand the poorest pay qt any. As a clerk\nin the service ot London a man wlll be\nadvanced automatically to $5000 a year\nat the age when In tbe public school he\ncannot possibly receive under the present system more than 1*000 or $2500.\nThe salaries New York pays Its\nteachers were a source of surprise to\nthe visitors until they were told something of the cost of living. The teacher\nentering the service In tbe elementary\nschools In London as a graduate of the\nnormal training school receives $480 a\nyear, which Is Increased at the rate of\n$35 a year until $720 Is reached. Then\nthere Is what the teachers call \"the\ncrossing of the bar.\" The Inspector decides whether they are worthy of further\npromotion; If eo, they are advanced $35\na year to $960 a year, the maximum in\nthe elementary schools.\nThe London teachers have a Strang\nunion and* through this they are demanding that the \"crossing of the bar\"\nbe eliminated. The association of secondary school teachers also Is agitating\nfor higher pay. The maximum is now\n$1200 a year,\nIn striking contrast to New York's\nrule against won)\u00abn teachers marrying,\nare the conditions In London, brought\nabout only by the scarcity of teachers.\nThere ths metropolitan district no\nlonger has the pick ot pedagogical talent. The suburbs attract the teachers,\nand London Is glad to keep every teacher it IMS, R)\u00bb-rl*d or lot, Tb this end It\npays half salary for two months to provide tor the emergency of maternity,\nand half of the women teachers of London, the visiting educators say, are\nwives, and a large proportion are\nmothers.\nThe opinion was expressed that New\nYork, ln barring.married women, loses\nits best Instructors. Many English educators, |t was said, are convinced that\nthe. married teacher Ib happier, more\nsympathetic with children and a far\nmore successful teacher.\nAnother point which will be observed\nclosely wlll be the effect of the American eating custom on the pupils. The\nEnglish worklngman has his dinner at\nnoon and the public schools take two\nhours off on tbat aooount The children, unless .they have a distance to\nwalk, came at 2 o'clock, logy after their\nhearty meal.\nLIKES BEING PRESIDENT\nROOSEVRLT'S FRAKK btwpbment to\n.

IB.\u2014After many months\nof Indecision and delay, (lie latter caused principally by Uie hope entertained\nat the Vatican that the French officials\nwould at last come to terms with the\nohureh authorities regarding the situation of the church In France and the\npractical enforcement of tie law of separation, Pius X has Anally derided to\ncontinue In his policy of resistance and\nto make the French church absolutely\nIndependent from the slates and supported entirely by Its own resources. In\norder to do this the vatlcan administration will have to meet an outlay of several mi..Ions every year, but the pope\nfeels confident that the resources necessary to support the French church\nwill be easily found through the generosity ot Catholic* In other parts of\nthe world.\nPractically the plan would place the\nchurch of France on the same footing\nas the churoh In America, without any\ndependence or support from the state\nand absolutely sustained by the generosity of Its own adherents.\nA special encyclical letter to the\nFrench bishops and ..clergy is to bo issued by the pope as soon as the new\nlaw of separation goes inlo \"(feet before the middle of next month. In lt the\npope will aBsuro the French bishops and\npriests that whatever support the state\ndenies them, owing to tho new law, will\nbe provided direct by the Vatican, so\nchat the Catholics (il France may continue to enjoy the practice of their religion and the ministrations of their\npriests and bishops.\nThe celebration of the mass and other\nchurch ceremonies will continue regardless of the disposal which Is to be made\nby the French officials of the buildings\nait present used for public worship. In\nthose parishes snd diocese ln which the\ngovernment wlll Bee fit to close the\nchurches the parish priests and bishops\nwlll rent other buildings adapted, at\nleast for the moment, to assemble the\nfaithful therein and lo continue their\nministration Just the same as if nothing had happened.\nThe religious associations already\nformed in disobedience lo the orders of\nthe pope by schismatic priests or by\n.socialistic municipal councils nre not to\nbe recognized by the bishops under any\ncircumstances and no advantage ls to\nbe taken of their offer of turning uver\nthe properties of whloh they have un-\ncanontcally acquired the title for the use\nof the congregations.\nThe law of separation Is to be absolutely ignored and tno work of building\nup the church ln France must be begun\nanew.\nAll those priests who are entitled to\npensions nnd allowances from Ihe government under tbe new law will be permitted to accept them as long as the\nFrench government consents lo pay.\nBesides, at the order of the Vatican\nauthorities, ln every French diocese has\nnow been established a special fund for\nthe. support of the clergy and the bishops which ls to be made up from the\ncontributions received from the French\nCatholics ln each district.\nWhat further amount wlll be needed\nIn each of tho dioceses it will be supplied direct by the vatlcan authorities,\nwho can dispose of large funds from the\nsociety for the propagation of the faith;\nfrom the patrimony of the religious or-\ndors, especially of those who have been\nenabled to carry away from Prance before their expulsion large amounts of\nmoney, snd from the contributions received for the purpose from Catholics\nall over the world.\nNew places of worship will be established whenever needed all over France\nand, If necessary, episcopal residences,\npresbyteries and somlnarles. The tremendous outlay of money that will be\nrequired for this purpose will be met\nespecially through thc generosity of the\nJosult order, which, nt. the lime the new\ngeneral was elected a few weeks ago.\nplaced at the pope's disposal all of Its\nresources for the reorganization of the\nchurch of France.\nSeveral French bishops have been peremptorily asked by the Vatican to forward to Home their resignation because\nof their failure to comply strictly with\nthe orders of tho popo ln the present\ncrisis of the church In France.

He had\ntold his colleagues that these lands were\nvaluable coal and oil areas and ss Boon\nas he looked Into the matter he had\ncome to the conclusion Uiat the government had no right to make the grant-\nthat contiguous lands not being exhausted there was no possibility of Justification. It was on this ground mainly that\nhe had voted for cancellation, and he\nhad since seen nothing to convince him\nthat error was .done. The government's\naction In cancelling the grants had been\ntaken In face of strenuous and persistent\nopposition from attorney general Eberts. He bad himself thought the grants\nexceeded the statutory direction.

It was Eberts who had\nexplained the rol ns-a tern ont bill to caucus\u2014 wry different from the bill as produced\u2014and he presumed It was the at-\ntomey-geneial who had drawn that bill,\naB lt was bis place to. The bill, as introduced, had never been submitted to\ncaucus nor lo the executive. II' the bill\nhad passed, he did not see how the government t'ould have refused to deliver\nover blocks 4503 and 45U4 lo the railway company, since refusal would havs\nbeen In defiance of tbe direction of the\nlegislature. It was Oliver who had\n.pointed out the opportunity of the company under the bill us drawn, and he\nhad been impressed.\nEx-premier Dunsmuir in his evidence,\nwhich it will be remembeied created\nquite a sensation at the Ume, said it\nwas Eberts who hud pleaded for the\ntransfer irom the 11. 0. Southern to the\nColumbia &. Western, urging * that as\nboth were subsidiary companies of the\nC. P. It., and the lands had already been\nearned, it would make no difference to\nthe province, lt had been agreed tbat\nWells should tako the grants to Montreal and see if better terms could be\nsecured\u2014the particularly desired feature being the Spence's Bridge line. It\nwas understood the patents should be\nbrought back if better terms could not\nbe got. At the same Ume he (.Dunsmulr) bad Celt that the grants should\nhe delivered in any event, and he would\nnave stood by his opinion but for Wells'\nreport as to the Taylor proposition, ufter which he Insisted upon the grants\nbeing held even at the expense of loss\nof power by the government. Eberts\nwas quite well aware of the intention of\nWells when be left with the grants for\nMontreal, but hail expressed no dissent.\nHe bad said to EberLs and Brown that\nhe understood both of ihem were in the\nd'.-al, and he would allow the transaction\n10 go no further. He had never personally approved of granting these noncontiguous lands.\nWe have quoted thus extensively from\nthe evidence of Dunsmuir and Prior to\nshow conclusively tlw falsify of the\nstatements that ex-attorney general Eberts was the victim of Wells' rescality\nand that nothing in the investigation\ntended to show thai Eberts was implicated In the unsavory deal To those\nconversant with lhe fuels in this case\nany refutation of these false statements\nis, of course, quite unnecessary, but tbe\npublic memory is notoriously short and\n11 may be thai some of thc brazen lalae-\nhoods now being advanced lo whitewash ibe ex-allorney-generat will be\naccepted in good faith.\nThe evidence taken at this inwestlga-\ntionllon proved conclusively thai Ehcrts\nstrenuously supported the proposed\nturning over to the C. P. R. of the blocks\nof coal and oil lands ln East Kootenay\nin lieu of lands in Yale district, contiguous to the Columbia & Western railway, and that it was the refusal of WeilB\nto turn over tbe patents, which had\nheen Issued, thut stopped the transaction and threw the fat Into the flre that\nled to the investigation being held.\nWithout at this writing seeking to Justify Wells' course throughout this affair,\nIt can be fairly advanced that the moment he realised all was nol on the square\nhe refused to go further with the transaction and upon bis report to the then\npremier, DunBtnulr, the grants were cancelled.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nIt Is sattsfactoryto know that the visit\nof the deputy minister of labor, Mr.\nMackenzie King, to England ln connection with the frauds that have been\nperpetrated by British emigration\nagents, has been successful.

At present this camp is reached\neither by way of Hope or Granite creek\nnear Princeton, but the building of the\nOreat Northern railway through this\ndistrict wlll bring It into direct communication with the rest of the provlnco.\nThs ore Is stated lo consist mainly\nof galena and zinc blende with a much\nsmaller amount of chalcopyrlte. lt Is\nalso said to be high grade ore. some\nof which is reported to huve assayed 160\nounces of allver to the ton.\nKamloop Mining Division\u2014The only\nInformation relative to ths presenco of\nitnc in this mining division is contained in two letters addressed to the\ncommission by Wentworih F. Wood, of\nKaniloops, B. C. He reports as follows:\n\"Zlno occurs ln many of the miming\npropertlea in this district, and, I believe, In paying quantities In the north-\nsm part. Tho silver mines of Adams\nlake all carry more or less zinc, but not\n,ln largo quantities.\n\"There art two claims especial mentioned as worthy of examination tor\ntheir line contents. These are the Lone\nProspector and Iron Clad, situated about\n70 miles up the North Thompson river\nat Mosquito Plat. These claims are situated from 850 to 1000 feet, above the\nrlv.er and two miles Inland. These propertlea arc easily reached during the\nseason of navigation, about three\nmonths in the year. Only ono shipment\nwaa made to the smelter, where a\ncharge was made for*>methflng over 16\nper cent for hand picked ore. The average ore would run nearer 30 per cent of\nzinc. The vein of Lone Prospect Is three\nfeet wide, a narrow stringer of galena\nrunning the length of the tunnel, 40 tee\".\nThe remainder of the vein Is quartz\nand zinc blende, with ahout 30 per cent\not (Inc. A shaft has been sunk at the\nthe Junction of a spur 30 feet or more,\nsome very line galena being thus secured. This.ore was also high ln zinc. A\nsecond shaft la down (on the spur) a\nlittle over 20 feet, but here tke ore docs\nnot contain as much zinc. From these\nopenings, In addition lo a low open cuts,\nabout 100 tons of ore have lien taken\nout, which will assay about 20 por cent\nof line.\n\"Oa the Iron Clad tho tunn*l Is about\n40 feet running with the vein which Is\nabout four feet wide, with ore which\nwould average over 20 per cent of zinc.\"\nKettle River Mining District\u2014The\npresence of a very small proportion of\nline ln certain of the high grade ore\nbodies In the vicinity of Greenwood has\nalready been mentioned I nthe Introduction, but tha occurrence of this metal\nIn such quantity and with such associations may, from an economic standpoint,\nbe altogether disregarded. In addition,\nhowever, the attention of the writer was\ndirected to a deposit of zinc blende on\ntha Silver Reef mineral claim about 8\nmiles north of Oresnwood. This location\nIt sltuatod on tlie aide of a hill about\n(00 feet above Wallace creek, and is\nreadied by a trail about three-quarters\n-of a mile in length' Btarting from the\nWallace ranch. It is owned jointly by\nJ. W. Nelson, Thomas 'Edwards und\nWilliam George of Greenwood.\nThe ore occurs in a rather lll-dehnod\nbreuciated vein, at the contact between\na basic igneous rock aud a quartzite,\ndipping to th,e southwest at an angle of\nSO degrees. Ziuc blende is the most\nabundant mineral present, but a little\nchalcopyrlte and pyrlte also occur, with\nquartz as the cementing material. Besides a small test pit which shows no\nore, a shaft has heen sunk on the Incline\no( the vein to a depth of about 36 foet.\nThe development work so far accomplished has not shown the existence of\nany ore body whleh could be regarded\nas of commercial Importance.\nTlte following ls an analysis by Mr.\nM. P. Connor, of tho Geological survey\ndepartment, of a specimen of what may\nbe considered tho best quality of oro\nthat was secured. The specimen showed\nzinc blende with a little chalcopyrlte and\na considerable .quantity of quartz and\nrocky matter:\nLead, trace; copper, 1.20 por cent; zinc,\n38.75 per cent; iron, 5.02 per cent; insoluble, 27.10 per cent; gold, traces;\nsilver, 0.25 oz. per ton.\nRevelstoke Mining Divisionr-Zino Is\nreported to occur in considerable quantities ln some of the claims already located In'the \"Big Bend\" (Columbia river) mineral district. This district ia\neasily reached during the season of navigation, a steamer mailing frequent trips\nup the Columbia river as far as Death\nRapids, about 45 miles above Revelstoke. A trail also runs from Ravol-\nstoko along the east bank of tlte rivor\nand from this main trail branch trails\nhave been made following up the valleys\nof most of the principal creeks which\nenter tlio Columbia river from tbe east.\nOno of these deposits of zinc-blende\nhas been located on Downle creek (10\nmiles above Revelstoke) about 3 miles\nfrom the mouth. No claim has yet been\nstaked and no details ln regard to Its\nsize or mode of occurrence aro available.\nZinc is also said lo be an important\nconstituent of the silver-lead ore ot the\nSilver Belle claim, one of the Shield\ngroup on Keystono mountain. These\nclaims aro situated to the north of Five\nMile creek, about 40 miles from Revelstoke. An analysis of a specimen sent\nto Mr. A. C. Garde of the Payne mine\nin September, 1903, by the chemist Mr.\nGeorge Robbins gave tho following results:\nLead, 20.50 per cent; zinc, 36.00 per\ncent; iron, 16.30 per cent; silver, 14.4\noz. per ton.\n(To Be Continued.)\nThrifty Buyers Buy Their Shoes at %\nHoyal\t\nCRODP\nA reliable medicine and one that should\na!wnj.i be kept In the home ter Immediate\nuse ts Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

DBNIS OP THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY\nINOALCUr^AiBIiB QUANTITIES OF COAL\nAiS YET UNDEVELOPED\nOttawa, Nov. IfJ-If the development of\nllie coal Industry Ib to be taken as Indicative of tho prosperity and development\nof a region, then western Canuda is making almote unprecedented strides. T, C,\nDun la of the geological survey, has juat\nreturned from a visit through the principal western coul fields of the main-land\nand lie reports that everywhere coal mlu-\nnlg Is going ahead at a tremendous rate.\nIt Ib only a few years since the only coal\nmines worthy of the name operating in\nAlberta wero the I.ctlibridge and the Can-\nmore minus. These liave expanded into\nlargo entorprifies ami many olher similar\nventures have since achieved success.\nThere are now in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta over 20 well established and well equipped collieries, besides\ncountless smaller mines wblch are worked\nspasmodically   to  supply  local  wants.\nFigures speak louder than words. The\nrecords kept by lhe mines section of the\ngoologicnl survey show that In 1887 the\ncoal production of the Northwest territories was for that year 74,152 tons, valued\nut $157,577. In 1905 the figures for Alberta\nand Saskatchewan had attained l.OOO.WO\ntons, representing a value of over $3,000,000.\nIn other words the production in 13 years\nhus inci-eased about fourteen fold.\nBut even at a very greatly increased rate\nof production, Uie question af exhaustion of\nlhe fossil fuel Is yet in a future exceedingly remote, for It has bt-en calcu.uted\nthut the coal bearing region of the great\nplain provinces, -between the International\n'boundary and the 56th parallel of latitude\nhas an area of over 65,000 square miles.\nIn this vast expanse of country all the\ndifferent grades of coul are represented\u2014\nfrom a lignite, containing 11 per cent moisture, .16 volatile matter and 44 per cent\ncarbon, lo un anthracite containing us\nhigh as 90 per cent tlxed cui-bon. Tills\nvariety of coal allows of each industry\nto be suited to a nicety uccordlng to Its\nrequirements, and coals of a superior quiil-\ntly may be found for steam raising, black-\nsiuitimig. coke manufadlurlng \u25a0\u2022'ml domestic  use.\nOne of the features of the coal Industry\nof Alberta In 1906 has been the Inauguration of new methods of mining In the Edmonton region. Heretofore the coal for\nthe use of the district wns mined by means\nof tunnels, driven on the coal seams which\noutcrop on tbo steep and high banks of\nthe Saskatchewan; this coal was then sent\nout by means of scows. But with the\ngrowth of the region these means were\nthought inadequate and within the last\nthree months three shafts have been sunk,\nthe deepest to 200 feet, which will greatly\nfacilitate the extraction, and the coul production Is now ready to keep apace with\nthe growth of the region expected by the\nmost sanguine Edmontonian. The product\nof the mines of this district Ib a llgnltlc\ncoal well  udapted  to domestic  uses.\nAt Bankhead near Banff, the Pacific Coal\ncompany is mining anthracite. The preparation of this coul for the market Is attended with the production of a very large\nproportion of con] dust. Alter a long\nseries of experiments as to tlie best means\not utilizing this dust, the coal company\nis at present erecting a very complete and\nup to date brlquettlng plant, and It ls expected that within a few months an excellent fuel, new to Canada, wlll be placed\non the market In lite form of anthracite\ncoal dust briquettes.\nOn the mainland of British Columbia the\ncoal Industry haa not been less active. It\nIb true that In 1906 the only producing\ncompany besides the Vancouver Island collieries was the Crow's Nest Pass Coal\ncoinpany, but pr--i---r.it'- ns were being made\nIn the Crow's Nest field, in Us northern\nextension nnd along the line of the Canadian Pacific railway for the establishment of now nnd Important mines.\nAt present the largest Individual colliery of Brltltrti Columbia, nnd of western\nCanada, for that matter, Is the Coal Creek\ncolliery of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company, which can handle 4000 tons of coal\nln a day of 10 hours.\nOver and above all the producing fields,\nthere are yet In these provinces vast tracts\nunderlaid by Incalculable quuntltles of coal\nwhich are awaiting the advent of the railroad to be developed and to become Important producers; and . Mr. Denis believes,\nJudging from all appearances, they will\nnot have to wait very long.\nVy Inexperienced Person Can, Dye\nSuccessfully Witli\nDiamond Dyes\nThere are no mysteries about the use\nand handllhE of DIAMOND DYES.

The attendance was not as large as the importance of the matter under consideration\nwarranted, but after an address from\ntbe secretary of the provincial board of\nhealth, steps were taken to arrange for\ntho collecting of local subscriptions towards the building fund of the con-traip-\ntlve sanltorlum, for which 1100,000 lt\nrequired.\nDr. J.

The prevention of the spread of\nthis disease had been declared hy a leading coast physician the other day as\neasily the most momentous question at\nthe present time. Notwithstanding that\nconsumption carried ott more people\nthan war, pestilence and (amine, little\nor no effort was made to stop the\nspread of the disease. Formerly people\nthought that nothing could be done to\nstay the progress of consumption and\nthey were apathetic ln consequence. Now\ntl was known that the disease could be\nprevented, could be oured and was not\nhereditary* From a purely economical\nstandpoint it would pay every community to take up tho question of the cure\nand prevention of tuberculosis very seriously indeed, and the speaker gave\nsome figures showing the monetary loss\noccasioned by the ravages of consumption.\nDr. Fagan   hoped  the  city  counoll\nMade in Canada\nfor 40 years.   10\ndifferent  patterns.\nFinest skate steel.\nLightest and  strongest.\nUsed by leading hockey teams.\nAll Dp-lo-d.lt Dealers Sell Thra.\nR-irand Mic Mac Hockey Slicks\n\u2014Design aad Trade Marks copy.\nrighted\u2014help to win the game.\nWrite for 1907 Skate Book.\nIt Is free.\nTHE STAR-t M*HUFIICTURIRO CO., Ltd\nDa-TMOUTH, N.B., CAT.,-,.\n\u25a0b-hch Omcc : Toronto, pm. .\nNELSON-BRUCE CO.\nMATINEE\nTODAY AT 2.30\n\"THE VIRGINIAN\"\nTONIGHT\nFACING THE MUSIC\nPrices, 50c, 75c. $1.00.

It this were done it would\nshow that the citizens of Nelson that the\nmatter was being taken up seriously.\nFigures were given showing that European countries had succeeded in greatly reducing the d-sath rate from consumption and Canada could not afford\nto lag behind in the matter. In some\nplaces as high as 75 per cent cent of lhe\nvictims were being cured when the patients were taken hold of scientifically\nin the first stages. In other cases the\nfurther progress of the disease had been\nBtayed ln about 40 per cent of tlie cases.\nConsumption passed on trom those infected to those wbo were perfectly free\nfrom It. Stop this passing on and you\nstop consumption. Consumptive hospitals were great centres of education and\neaoh patient sent out became au educational* force in teaching people how to\nassist in the prevention of the spread of\nthe -scourge.\nThe doctor went on to tell a pathetic\nstory of a man unknowingly ln the last\nstages of consumption, who had left his\nwife and family because be had been\ntold lt was a wise thing to do, who believed he waa dying but wbo had no idea\nhe waa a publio menace and who waB\ndally spreading the dread disease. Had\nthe man been educated what to ,do he\nwould have become harmless to those he\nloved best and to the community generally. Thts education could only come\nthrough the institution of a consumptive hospital.   If proper means   were\ntaken the disease could be nearly rooted\nout lu tea years' time.\nThe lieutenant- governor, the C. P. R.\nand others, have already promised substantial sums for the proposed hospital.\nVictoria, Vancouver, Rossland and other\nB. C. cities were raising sums for the\nhospital and the doctor asked that a\nprogressive city like Nelson take a\nprominent part in the suppression of the\ndisease. The methods of handling the\nhospital trust funds, and th\/.? representation Upon the board of management\nfrom all population centers whtch contribute, was fully explained.\nFresh air at all times, special diet,\n\"our kitchen wlll be our drug store,\"\nand rest and exercise will b,e the means\nused in Uie hospital.\nThe doctor closed hts address with an\nappeal to Nelson people to do their\nshare towards the erection and maintenance of the consumptive hospital.\nDr. Arthur said two cases had been reported by him of death from consumption in Nelson. Throughout the world\nthe white plague accounts for two million deaths annually. Although free\nfrom tuberculosis at present there were\nat present at least some 20 incipient\ncases in Nelsou and this city should\n-wake up to the pending danger.\nEx-mayor John Hamilton moved the\nfollowing resolution: \"That the city\ncouncil and the board of trade, as well as\nthe members of the local city\nchurohes, at once make arrangements\nto appoint a committee for the collection of funds ln aid of the proposed\nconsumptive sanltorlum.\"\nDr. Levy seconded the motion, which\ncarried unanimously.\nlt was suggested that mayor Gillett\nshould call a meeting of representatives\nfrom the bodies named.\nSheriff Tuck thought a special Invitation should be sent out In order to secure a good and representative attend-\nance. He urged that the mayor was the I\nbest person from whom such an invita-\nHon should Issue.\nHis worship sold he was- willing to\ncall a special meeting nt an early date,\nof representatives of '-lie bodies referred\nto, sending a special invitation in each\ncase, and to this the meeting cordially\nassented.\nThe meeting then adjourned.\nThe constitution and the by-laws of\nthe local anti-tuberculosis society recently passed and approved are appended.\nCONSTITUTION\nArticle l\u2014The name ot the association\nshall be the Nelson Association for the\nPrevention and treatment of Consumption\nbind other forms of Tuberculosis.\nArticle 2\u2014The object of the ns-*-oi*tallon\nIs to prevent lhe prevalence of consumption\nand other forms of tuberculos-is, and to\nfurther remedial measures:\n1.

The waters feeding this ancient\nlake, passing out from the face of the\nglacier, were heavily eharged with rock\nflow that, In the quiet waters of the lake\nquickly settled to the bottom to form\nthe deposits referred to.\nCareful records of temperature mad,*?\nduring the summer show that the region is by no means so cold as is commonly supposed. With the exception\nof one night lu August, when the thermometer feel just below freezing point,\nthero was no frost from the middle of\nJune, when the records were begun, until the 29th of September.\nThroughout the whole northern part\nof the area the Indians grow potatoes\nwith good success, and to any one familiar with the Indian this means that\nthey are grown to say the least, without\nmuch trouble. Some of the most northerly Indian fields were vlsted on July\n13th, when the potato vines were eleven\nInches high and about ready to blossom.\nQeorge Cowan, a trapper long settled\nin the neighborhood, was harvesting in\nSeptember a large crop of potatoes of\nexceptional size, quite like the exhibits\none Bees occasionally at county fairs,\nand his garden contained all the common vegetables.\nIn latitude 54 degrees, where the Hudson Bay railway, now under construction crosses the Saskatchewan river,\nIndian corn was quite ready for table\nuse, with large and full ears, on September 5th, and, as there was no frost until the 29th had ample time to ripen.\nThe more southerly section of this\ndistrict, bordering the Saskatchewan and\nextending for about seventy miles to\nthe northeast, Is underlain by fiat mag-\nnesian limestones of Silurian and Cam-\nbro-Sllurlan age. and, owing to the thin\nsoil cover on the uplands, offers only\nlimited areas along the river valleys\nthat are adapted for cultivation. There\nare a few good forests of white spruce\nand much larger areas that would furnish good material for pulp-wood. Many\nof the limestones are well suited for\nbuilding purposes, breaking readily Into\nblocks of very even thickness.\nBelts of Huronlan age, underlying the\nlimestones and coming to the surface beyond its northern -edge, are characterized by many of the rocks found in that\nmineral bearing series in the east. Traces of copper were noticed in these rocks.\nThe larger lakes of the district are\nwell stocked with whlteflsh, lake trout,\ndore and pike, and sturgeon occur In\nsome of them. One of the large fishing\ncompanies, in anticipation of the advent\nof the railway, has already put ln a\nplant on some of the lakes.\nTho region is a good one for large\ngame, particularly for moose, which are\nabundant and little disturbed, as thc\nIndians visit the interior only on their\nwinter hunts, living almost continuously\non their reserves during the summer,\nWork on the railway south of the Pass\nwas being pushed forward with all the\nspeed that the scarcity of labor would\npermit, and location parties, who expected to be out all winter, started from\nthe Saskatchewan to locate through to\nthe Churchill.\nThe event acquired additional Interest\n\"from the fact that It would be the last\nappearance of Miss Bateman prior t-j her\ntur of Canada and the United States. The\nfriend-* of the gifted soprano took the opportunity of lavishing floral offerings upon\nher. One of these was t lustra live of the\nland she Is leaving and the country she Is\ngoing; to the base, composed of English\nforget-me-nots, lilies of the valley and\ndouble pink tulips, with suitable foliage\nInterspersed, while from tho front depended a model of a Canadian canoe, mado\nlu Parma violets and suspended by n silver\nvord and pale blue ribbons. , , . .The\nlady was In excellent voice, and sung with\nmore intellectual thought and vivacious\ncharm thun on any previous occasion. Her\nvoice Is quite exceptional In Us brilliancy\nand range. Her quality, though brilliant,\nis dute like und she executes her ornaments and runs with a dellcaey and symmetry that lias rendered her work conspicuous.\"\nATLANTIC MAIL SERVICE\nC. P. H. DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO\nCALL AT HALIFAX.\nTROUBLE     OVER     SUB-CONTRACT1\nWITH THE ALLANS.\n(C. P. R. Press Despatch)\nMontreal, Nov. lti.\u2014Tbo (acts   about\nthe winter arrangements for the transport of the Atlantic malls  are  lirleliy\nthese:\nThe government entered into a contract with the Allan line for the carriage of the malls  Subsequently when\nthe Canadian Paciflo put its two new\nEmpresses into service they became a\nparty to the   arrangement   under   an\nagreement made with the Allan line as\nsub-contractors. It was quite understood\nby the parties to this agreement that\nduring the winter months the Empress\nof Britain and the Empress of Ireland\nwould run between Liverpool   and   St.\nJohn, receiving and delivering the malls\nat the latter port.   Were Is uot for this\nunderstanding,   the   Canadian   Pacific\nwould not have participated In the contract, because if these vessels are to be\nkept on the Atlantic route tbey must\nserve ports reached by the   Canadian\nPacific Railway lines.     However, the\nlocal Influence at Halifax was apparently sufficient to Induce the government\nunder a technical clause of the original\nagreement between the government and\nthe Allans to rule that the Empresses\nmust go from St. Jobn to Halifax to receive the mails before putting out to\nsea and must stop at Halifax on the re-\nJ turn trip to deliver tbe mails before proceeding to St. John.  The Canadian Pacific was quite willing to surrender its\nshare In the mall contract rather than\nsubject its passengers to delay and to\nhave the Canadian winter route fbr\npassengers seriously prejudiced by this\nroundabout service. But this could not\nbe done unless the Allan tine could secure the consent of the government.\nThey failed to do so and therefore, the\nCanadian Paclflc in order to observe the\nterms of its agreement with the Allan\nline was compelled to accept the situation. As a consequence during the present winter season tbe Empresses will\nstop iu Halifax harbor to receive and\ndeliver the malls.   This, of course, will\ndelay them and to that extent frustrate\nthe efforts of the Canadian  Paclflc  to\nestablish a service equal   to   that between New York and Liverpool.   Save\nfor this call at Halifax on their outward and Inward voyage, the Empress**\nwill confine themselves to St John, the\nwinter port ot the Canadian Pacific, passengers and freight being shipped and\nlanded three, while the C. P. R. Overseas Limited, carrying   tbe   Imperial\nmalls to and from China, will alao mak.\nSt. John Its winter terminal. While beyond doubt the arrangement ls detrS\nmental to the general Interesta of ths\nrest of the dominion, the only advantage accruing to Halifax is the sentimental prestige of being made a port ol\ncall, and thus receiving the local European malls a few hours earlier than If\nthey were carried to St. John.\nCANADIAN PACIFIO\nTIMETABLE\nEffect Sunday, 18th\nLeave  Nelson  7:30  a.m.,  arrivo  Vanoou.\nver 12 noon\nONE NIOHT EN ROUT!\nStandard Sleeper Daily\nARROWHEAD   TO .VANOOUVlUt\n]\nCOMPLETE LOCAL SERVICE\nArrive NELSON Lea \u00ab\u2022'-\n7:15 p.m...Slocan Columbia Hlvt.r.,7.1W a.-a.\nbully Main Line Connection* l)--ii||\n9.-10 p.m...
