LAMBERT \u00abSr CO.\nELK PRO NEAR FERNIE\nFIVE ANIMALS STRAY FROM MAIN\nBODY.\nGAME ASSOCIATION TAKES CARE\nOF THEM.\n(Special to The Dally News.!\nPBRNIE Marcli, 2.\u2014A band of elk,\nconsisting of n hull, two cows and two\nyearlings, part of a herd ranging over\nthe mountain pass, having become\nseparated, have been discovered yarded\nabcut three miles from Hosmer and\none-quarter of a mile from the railway\ntrack. A local photographer went out\nFriday and secured several photographs at close range, as the animals\nare unable to get away owing to tbe\ndeep snow. Aa It Is Impossible for\nthem to secure feed H. W, Herchmer.\npresident of tlie Fernie Game Protec-\ntlvee association, Saturday Bent several\nhales of hay to the spot in charge of\nassistant game warden Jail; Lewis,and\nthe association are taking every precaution to protect them. Before the\ngame warden had been notified of the\npresence and plight of the elk some\nunknown person hid killed a yearling\nlice are now making a very thorough\nsearch for the guilty parly who, If apprehended, will be dealt with severely.\nchief game warden Williams haw been\ncommunicated with and the government asked whether they require any\nlive specimens of elk, as these can he\neasily captured.\nThe Game Protective association in\nthe meantime will teed nnd protect the\nband, and will ask the government to\nreimburse the mafterwards.\nTlie association will hold a meeting\nhere ou March 4, at which the question\nof the protection of hear and other I'm-\nhearing animals In East Kootenay will\nlie discussed and resolutions passed\nurging the government to have a close\nseason for these animals and put. them\non the protected list. The appointment of more game wardens will also\nbe asked for. The provincial government grant last year was $10000 for\nthe protection of game and It Is estimated that a little over $9,000\nwas expended but the amount collected by fines and licences almost\nreached the latter figure, anj the government has only had to expend about\n$150 out of the ordinary revenue. Members of the association point out that\nthe Fernie electoral district Is only allowed one game warden at a salary\nof $75 a month. He has to keep two\nr.oraei. for which he la allowed $10\nper month. The territory he has to\ncover is enormous and he cannot possibly police the district properly. More\nassistance will therefore be asked for\nthis district.\nAnother important question which\nwill engage tlie attention of the meeting will be that of the fish taws. A\nfew years ago the rivers abounded ia\nfish but lack of attention and indiscriminate Ashing, especially in the Kilt\nriver aud its tributaries, has depleted\nthem and in another year or two there\nwill be none left unless measures are\nadopted Tor their protection, and the\nassociation will petition the government to establish a hatchery at some\npoint on the Klk river.\nTbe dog sleigh races were held as\nusual Saturday afternoon, and attracted a larger crowd of spectators than\nusual.

Tbe interior of the\nhouse was covered with cheese cloth\nand paper, and this inflammable ma.\nleriai was Instantly] in a mass of\nflames before Mrs. Sampson, who was\nin the front room, had even an inkling\nof what was the matter.

The dominion government has\nundertaken ihe collection of an exhibit\nfor the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific fair to be\nheld *at Seattle this coming summer\nand proposes that at the close of the\nexposition the specimens he sent to 0-t.\ntawa where they will be placed uu view\ntn the new Canadian national museum\njust completed, where they will remain\nfor all time. Thus, not only will the\nthousands upon thousands who visit\nthe Canadian building ait the Seattle\nexposition be given some idea of the\nmineral resources of this province but\nthe establishment of a permanent ex.\nhibit at Ottawa will prove equally bene\nflclal.\nThe placing of this exhibit on view\nat Ottawa is of special importance to\nLhe Kootenay and Boundary countries\nfrom Midway, to Michel, thy territory\ncovered by the Associated Boards of\nTrade, for it is proposed that the sped.\nmetis from tills Piln of tlie province\nwill be placed together in the museum\nand labelled as coming from the inter,\nfor of BrUtish Columbia. Every man\ninterested in this country should, '.here\nfore, do all in bis power to make vhe\nexhibit a thoroughly representative\none.\nThe dominion government is going t'i\na lei of trouble and expense in regard\nto both the Seattle and the permanent\nexhibits. As a start they have sent Mr.\nBroadbent of the geological survey to\nthis province to superintend the eollec.\ntion of the exhibit and Mr. Broadbent\nis now in Nelson acting In conjunction\nwith the Nelson and ihe Associated\nBoards of Trade. Mr. Brnudbenfs tank\nis a big one and neither he nor any\nother man cm accotpplish it withe.it\nthe active asss'.stance of every man in\nthe country interested In mining. This.\nit ll to be hoped, will be freely given.\nENTERPRISE RECOGNIZED.\nIn its Isssue of February i; the Min.\ning Journal, London. England, which\nis the oldest and most important jour,\nnal of its class published In Great\nBritain, reprinted more than a column\nOf extracts from the review of mining\nin British Columbia in 190S. prepared\nfor The Dally News hy E. Jacobs and\npublished In The News' special New\nYear number.\nActional publicity was thereby given\nto information concerning mining in\ntills province, for the Mining Journal\nhas an extensive circulation, not only\nin Great Britain, but as well In mining\ncamps In Africa, America, Australia\nand other countries in which British\ncapital is employed In the development\nof mines..\nIt is gratifying to find that the en.\nterprlse or The Daily News In publish\ning In its annual review number the\nmost comprehensive and genarally re.\nliable review of last year's mining In\nthis province, has been widely recog.\nnlzed and that the mining Industry of\nBritish Columbia Is being benefitted\naccordingly.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nTomorrow will tell the time.\nThese Sheep cr\u00abek deals are going\nthrough with- gratifying regularity.\nAccording to Mr. W. B. Ijanigan, as.\nsistant freight traffic manager of the\nC.P.R, weBtern lines, Washington\nfruit growers are dumping their second\ngrade apples on the market of the Ca.\nnadlan prairie country at prices that\n-article supplied by British Columbia,\nWhat stronger argument could be ad.\nvanced in favor of increasing the pro.\ntedtion of Canadian fruit growers?\n.If Bill Miner had received half thi\nattention in New Westminster peni.\ntentlary that he is now receiving In\nparliament he would still be serving\ntime.\nlit is to be hoped that the city's Pur.\nchase of the Tramway company's\nrights and the property appertaining\nto the street-railway system will result\nin the speedy resumption of the opera,\nifon of the system. It cannot come a\nday too soon.\nThe Cranbrook board of trade Is to\nbe reorganized, A good live board of\ntrade is a good thing in any town, but\nsuch an institution in Cranbrook has\nan almost unlimited field In advancing\nand making known the resources and\npossibilities of East Kootenay.\nFurther light was thrown upon sir\nWilliam Mulock's retirement from the\ndominion government by the action of\nthe dominant party in the house of\ncommons on Monday in voting down\nthe resolution moved by Mr. Haughton\nLennox in favor of action by the gov.\neminent to reduce the cost of tele.\nPhones in the provinces In which that\nutility is not owned by the government\nA few years ago sir William Mulock.\nthen postmaster general, secured the\nappointment of a committee of the\nhouse of commons to investigate the\ntelephone question and the evidence\nadduced was unmistakably in favor of\ngovernment ownership. Sir William as\na result became an advocate of the ap.\nplication of this principle to telephones\nand his retirement, from the govern,\nment followed as a result.

L. DOUOUAB8.\nDual Time.\nIflDcTOB. THK DAILY N'KAVS.\nflr: It seems lo me lliut In the cor>\n1*1 spondeiici- that lias been In your columns\nIhls last few days upon the correct time,\nwe are losing sight or the main point,\nthe two times hi this city.\nMi*, editor, I consider that such should\nnot be the case upon the eve of lhe election. I think that is a point that Every\none Should take Into consideration. Is\nthe business of this city to he carried on\nevenly or in the mixed up \"tut.' that ll\nhas been Tor tlie last half year?\nWei have tried various phases of Ihe\nnirst him pui lie for e us in your columns,\nhut up lo Hi.- present none has been put\nbefore the business men. Tlie elder point\nl o he considered Is. \"can Nelson as a\ncity exist alone,\" if not the transient and\ndistrict business must be catered for.\nThere are oevenil hundred people coming\nInto the city every day rrom the outlying points, nnd If thev arrive and cannot\nget their supplies.the business must go\nelsewhere. Their huslnens may be delayed and If they And that the stores are closed\nat 9 p.m. by their time, and have to go\nout on the next train or boat, this i.usi-\n1* lent to the city. I know of Instances where business that used to he\nRossland, would It i not be better for the\ncity, If we were to take the surrounding\ncountry into consideration? Let us consider them and thev will consider us. we\nare not doing so at present on the time\nquestion.\n\u25a0During the summer months perhaps It\ncould he arranged for certain stores to\nclose earlier than six o'clock, and at the\nsame time it might lie advantageous to\nthem to open earlier. This Is a question\nthat could easily be settled upon the same\nlines that the Thursday hair holiday has\ncome Into force Ibis last few years, with\nvery little difficulty.\nAnother point to consider fs tlie business that could he obtained from the men\nthat leave work at 5 p. m. C, P. R. time.\nAt tho present time they only have an opportunity once a week for shopping and\nthat ts on Saturday night, ir the stores\nwere open to them there Is no doubt In\nmy mind Ihat a great part of the business\nthat is sent to the big* departmental\nstores in the easl could be held hi '.his\nelty.\nIf the business men will give these points\ncareful consideration, l think that there\nwill be no doubt about the result of Thursday's election, but It will be. necessary\nthat there be no laxity about voting*, so\nthat tbe full number required by the council shall be polled.\nW.

Thia record was last\nnight equalled by the crowd that gathered to see the \"The Strollers,\" The\nlarge auditorium was crowded to overflowing point, every seat was occupied\nand many were compelled to see the\nperformance on their feet. The play\nwas shown here during the eompany.'s\nlast visit. It has, however, been\nchanged to the greatest advantage.\nWhole chunks of dialogue have been\ncut out and musical numbers and other\nattractions substituted. The performance last night went with n rush from\nthe rise of the curtain to the closing\nensemble. There was not a dull moment, not a lagging scene, it was one\nfeast of music and songs and wit.\nTeddy Webb, as Austin Lump, a\nwandering philosopher, waa Teddy\nWebb at hla best. Every theatre goer\nin the west knows how good that is.\nHe did not need to speak to raise a\ntitter, his face was a comedy In itself\nand his manner of speaking made the\naudience strain their sides with hearty\nlaughter every time he opened his\nmouth. His acting waa even all\nthrough, no singly instance of failure\nor even partial failure could be picked\nout iby the mest carping critic. The\nBong \"Strollers iWe\" by Webb, Bertha\nand chorus was delightful.\nMiss Mabel Day played Bertha,\nLump's wife, with that laughing auda.\ncly and pretty wilfulness which she\nseems to have made peculiarly her\nown. Miss Day becomes more attractive, n more acoiupllsheil actress and\nseems to becomp prettier every time-\nshe appears on the stage. She was in\nparticularly fine voice last night and in\nthe \"Butterfly Song\" showed a compass seldom heard In coniic operas and\na delightful clearness and sweetness in\nher high notes. But Miss Day's great\nsuccess of the evening was \"A Lesson\nin Flirtation,\" sung by herself and six\nofficers. This was a really charming\nnumber perfectly rendered. As an encore the same song was given but with\nthe stage darkened but for a. circular\npatch of limelight In which a kind of\nmaypole with the amorous officers\nholding many colored ribbons moving\nround Miss Day as a centre, was formed, made a scene that was fairy like\nin Its beauty, color nnd splendid singing.\nKamfer, the inebriate gaoler, was\nplayed as during the previous visit by\n.1. Russell Powell, who acted the part\nas if he hud never been sober ln his\nlife. He played with absolute naturalness but never exceeded the bounds\nrf gcod Uiste. Mr. Powell Is evidently too old a band to spoil such an excellent purl by falling Into the pitfall of over oloring into which less\nexppiienced actors frequently stnmbl?.\n\"I Want What I Want When I Want\nIt\" is likely to be the papular song\nin Nelson for many moons. The house\nsimply roared with delight as Kamfer\ndelivered this song of an easy and\nphilosophical content with an unmarried\nand bibulous life. This will be repeated by special request at the matinee\ntoday.\nA quartette of male sing?rs greatly\ntickled the fancy of the audience, especially with a song of which the last\ntwo versrs referred to Nelson. One\nof these verses ridiculed the dual time\nsystem.\nAlius Lucille Palmer us Anna narnin\nshowed with what n mngiiillcent voice she\nIs possessed. She is a great acquisition'\nto the company. \"Cartnlna\" and \"Annie\nLaurie\" sung us nn encore weri delivered\nby Miss Palmer hi clear silver hell tones\nwhich carried io ihe farthest corners' or\nthe house. The sweet haunting notes\nwere such us will lie remembered for long\nby all lovers of musir who wore for'.n-\nimif enough to he present. Il wus Binning wlileh reached Uie heart and which\nnever a lit agonised tho ear by a jarring\nnote. CJ^org-. KlUlkel ns the prince i* also u new comer to Nelson. Ills Interpretation wns .i tremendous Improvement upon that of the actor who formerly took\nthe part. His makeup was porfeui and\nhts acting: natural nnd restrained.

She boarded at .Mrs. Polk's and\nit was thought that when Tall came she\nwould go away as did the few other\ncity dwellers who were able ..o get sum\niher accommodations In the conserva.\nlive old town. But when fall came she\nbought a pretty cottage on a quiet lf.tle\nstreet.\nThe first thing Mrs. Wrest did after\ngoing into the house was to hire Cor.\nnella Bangs, partly as servant and part\nly as companion. Cornelia was a peon.\n'tar old Soul, but respectable and a\ngood worker, and the position Mrs.\nWrest offered must have bean a real\ngodsend.\nOf course, all the ladies in the neigh\nborhood went io call upon the new res'.\n(ient. \u25a0 She received them graciously\nand served them with tea and cakes\nmade in Cornelia's best style. Bui she\ntold them nothing ihat they bad come\nto hear and they went away with their\ncuriosity completely baffled. Who was\nMrs. Wrest? Whence had sire come?\nWas she a widow or a divorcee? They\nwere at liberty lu conjecture what they\nchose, but they could find out nothing\n\u25a0positively.\nCornelia Bangs, being proverbially\nclose mouthed, was as Impenetrable as\nlier mistress. She didn't know, that wa-s\nlhe answer she made to all queries.\nIt was evident that Mr. VVrc.t meant\nlo live quietly and eared little for so.\ncial doings. Most of her time she spent\nin reading or playing upon the violin\nor doing littlo kindnesses for the sick\nand needy.\nMrs. Wrest attended all the services\nc-t the church, although she had pre.\nsensed no letter of membership. She\ndressed always very beautifully in\nblack, but she wore no jewelry, save a\nlarge pearl brooch, which Mrs. Hay.\nthe jeweler's wife said was the finest\nshe had ever seen.\nNo other woman In Northport had\nsuch a way of wearing her clothes, or\ncarrying herself or tilting her chin.\nAnd no woman was so beautiful. If\nshe had noi 'been beautiful there\nwould not have been so much said or\nthought about her.\nShe had a calm, pale face, surround,\ned by dark hair as with a frame. Her\neyes were also dark, inscrutable in\ntheir depth and stillness. Her mouth\ndrooped a little, bu't then, some mouths\nare not shaped for constant smiling.\nIt was not a sad mouth and it was not\na happy one. It was just siill like the\nrest of her race. If she had had a great\nsorrow she hid it skilfully or else she\nhad no heart. There were a great, many\nwomen who thought she had no heart.\nThis Ib often tbe first accusation that\nis brought against beautiful women\nby women who are not so beauUful.\nShe had lived in Northport two years\nwhen something happened. peter\nMeredith fell In love with her. Of\ncourse there might have been other\nmen than Peter In love with her and\nprobably were-btit Peter was the only\none that, advertised his regard boldly.\nAll the young unmarried women\nwere simply dying for Peter in the first\n\u25a0place he was rich and In the next his\ngood looks wonld have made him elig.\nIble without the addition of money.\nHis married sister took him to task.\nand she did noi intend to be outwitted\nas soon as she heard of his Infatuation\nShe had kept him from marrying a\ngood many years, because she wanted\nthe money for the small Peter, her son\nnow hy a woman who had nothing but\nher handsome face t0 recommend her.\n\"You don't know anything about\nher.\" she urged.\n\"I don't ask to know anything that\nshe don't choose to tell me. I love her\nwell enough to trust her,\" Peter ans.\nwered, valiantly.\n\"Good heavens! She may be an ad.\nventurers,\" cried his sister, losing her\ntemper.\nThen peter lost his temper, and declared he was going straight to Mrs.\nWrest to ask her to marry him. He\nwent. Mrs. Rowland, who lived opposite, saw him go to the door and saw\nCornelia Bangs admit him and take\nhim into tlie parlor Then she flew for\nthe spyglass which had belonged t(>\nher 'father, the sea captain. But the\nspyglass was after all of but little use.\nShe could not hear what was said, al.\nthough she drew her own conclusions,\nwhan Peter came forth dejected.\nMrs, Wrest had indeed refused him.\nIi was incredible. Peter took it very\nhard It was his first experience in\nnot getting what lie wanted.\nInstead of being grateful to Mi's.\nWrest for not accepting him. every un.\nmarrtud woman was angry with her.\nIt wns not long before scarcely a wo.\nman save 'Mrs. Rowland visited Mrs.\nWrest. She was tit liberty now to read\nand play the violin us much a-3 Bhe\nchose and to sew for all the Poor that\nneeded garments. All because she had\nrefused Peter Meredith, whom nobody\nwanted her to have.\nWhy had she done It? There could\nbe only one reason. She had no b'uBl.\nness to many. She had a husband\nliving from whom she had no divorce.\nThough Mrs. Wrest was apparently\nconscious io the increasing feeling\nagainst her, she made no sign. She still\nattended church regularly, wearing\nblack and sitting alone in her pew,\napparently unconscious of all who were\nso fiercely conscious of her. She was\nsilting thus one morning perfectly still\nwith her small hands folded and her\nface lifted to the minister.\nThe church was unusually well filled\nand Mrs. Wrest 'a pew was the only\none where there was any room. The\nushers understood that when there\nceased to be room elsewhere strangers\nmight be shown to places beside her\nand bo now, when a man entered the\nvestibule very late, he was taken at\nonce to Mrs. Wresi's pew.\nHe was a tall man with a pointed\nbeard and blond hair, just slightly\nturning grey, distinguished looking\nand handsome. Mrs. Wrest moved a\nlittle and lifted her eyes. Then her\nface went suddenly white and she\ncrumpled forward In a dead faint.\nThe stranger lifted her Up and with,\nout noticing any one's Interference he\nbore her Into the vestibule. Mrs. How.\nland and a few, others roae Instantly\nand followed after the twain.\n\"This Is my wife,\" the stranger ex.\nplained tersely. \"Is tliere anything you\ncan do for her?\"\nShe opened her eyes and looked Into\nthose of her husband who was holding\nher as though he would never let go\nagain.\n\"Gordon,\" she said and fainted away\nagain.\nNext day Mrs. Wrest had ceased to\nbe a mystery, for Mrs. Howland told\nall she knew and she knew a great\ndeal. She had heard the whole story\nFor Sale\nAn 8-roomed house and 1 lot in\nthe Hume addition, in thorough repair, some fruit trees ln hearing\nas well as small fruits. A bargain\nat $1500.
