What with the tiers of\nstreet lights looking their most festive,\nthe numbers of teachers assembling\nto fraternize, and the general cheeri-\nness radiated at the station by the reception committee, It seemed like a\n\"merry home-coming\" for the educational folk who were assembling. More\nthan a hundred pedagogues were in\nattendance at yesterday's sessions of\ntbe Teachers' Institute. The task of\nmeeting trains and boats had Ibeen assigned to Inspector A. Sullivan, C. Mc-\nL.

He passed\nthrough Chicago yesterday on his way\nfrom St. Paul to New York.\nTonnage Increasing\n\"The tonnage which is being offered\nthe railways -for transportation Is constantly on the increase,\" he said, \"and\nthere is little doubt that the railroads\nwill be called upon this year to furnish\nmore transportation units, than they\nhare ever been asked to furnish. From\nall (Indications it seems certain that by\nnext (alitor early winter the railroads\nwill be totally unable to furnish any*\nthine like the amount of -transportation\nfacilities which was demanded by the\ncountry.\nNot to Blame\n\"I do not think the railroads are to\nbe blamed tor this situation for It ls not\npossible -for them *b raise the money,\nneeded to provide the additional facilities.

Near Cranbrook.\n(Special Correspondence.)\nCRANBROOK March 29.\u2014Deputy\nGame Warden James Bates, of this city,\nIs certainly making matters highly In*\nterestlng for those who venture to Infringe on the game laws of the province. The other day he got some information of a small band of Indiana\nfrom the south of the International\nboundary who were engaged In trap-\nplng on Meadow Creek, above Yahk.\nHe at once set out and finding the\ntepees waited for some time till the Indians returned. He explained that they\nshould confine their operations to the\nUnited States side of the line and\nescorted them to that point with an\nadmonition to behave better ln future\nIf visiting British Columbia. He had\nthem headed south within one hour\nfrom the lime he spoke to them.\nTrapping Beaver.\nToday he had Adam Wise of Fort\nSteel, up before Magistrate Joseph\nRyan, charged with attempting to trap\nbeaver In a small stream flowing into\nWild Horse creek. An Indian,-Ambrose, found the traps and knowing\nthat beaver are closely protected, he\ntook the Implements home with him\nand reported the matter to Jacob, the\nIndian deputy game warden, who ln\nturn reported to Mr. Bates. Ambrose\nproved he found the trans one on a\nbeaver dam, the other fn tihe entrance,\nor hole, leading into the beaver's\n\"house.\" Joseph WalBh, provincial constable of Fort Steele, proved that Wise\ncame to him and threatened to have\nAmbrose prosecuted for taking bis\ntraps which he had set on this stream\nto capture mink. Wise said bis defence\nwas that he set the traps for mink and\notter, though Ambrose had sworn there\nwere neither mink nor otter tn that\nlocality. The magistrate declared the\ndefence to be perfectly rldtouloira. He\ncould not understand the sense of setting a beaver trap In a beaver hole with\na view to taking mink that did not\nexist on the stream. He promptly\nfined Wise $10 and all expenses of\nbringing the wltneese. into court to\nprove the case.\nBeaver. Becoming Numerous.\nThe offence of attempting to take\nbeaver la provided for by section 15 of\nthe Game Protection Amendment act\nof 1905. The close time for those animals will expire on 1st August, 1911.\nThey are becoming quite numerous In\ndifferent parts of Bast Kootenay, and\nmay be sometimes seen In daylight\nalong the banks of the St Mary's\nriver.

One of these\nsemi-official statements today ran to*\nthe effect -that Uie break In Granby -waa\ndue to a misunderstanding of the latest\nexpert report on the tonnage. The discrepancy of ore reserves is explained\nby* saying that the ore reported 'by the\ndirectors meant all the ore of the mine,\nwhile thiat reported iby \"the engineer several days ago means tihe ore actually\nblocked out and prepared for stoplng.\nNeeds Explanation\nIf these explanations are correct there\nmust 'be numerous persons on the Inside that know 'the facts and if so they\nhave stood by and 'permitted the stock\nto break from 112 to 37. There Is such\na thing as manipulating a stock dorwn-\nwari as well as upward, and a do*w*n-\nward movement always causes more\nsuffering than an upward one.

These are being more and\nmore conserved and utilized for mln-\ning and smelting purposes. Trans-\nfonmed into electrical energy, their\npower Is readily and cheaply dlstribut-\ned from the generating stations to the\nvarious points where power Is required\nfor mining, milling or smelting purposes, and once installed power ls\nprovided at a (minimum of cost, without the vexations attending the production of steam for steam power\nplants.\nIn due time we hope to see more of\nour larger water-powers on the' coast\nutilized for Industrial purposes other\nthan mining.\nThe achievements In electrical engineering have been so rapid and the\nresults so astounding that it may be\nno idle fancy to predict 'that the wireless transmission of high tension eleo*\ntrlclty may be an accomplished fact in\nthe not too distant future. What such\na consummation would mean for power manufacturing and lighting purposes, ds we'll nigh beyond comprehension.\nGreat Areas of Coat.\nAnother prominent asset we possess\ntoward favorable mining and smelting conditions, and indeed toward all\nour industrial conditions, Is our great\ncoast coal areas. The established coal\nIndustry of Vancouver Island has been\nespecially successful, both ae regards\ndevelopment and management. On\nthat Island .today prospecting for\nmore coal Is toeing vigorously carried\non, no Hess than eleven diamond\n jeing at work for thlt\nThe development of the coal and\ncoke industry of the province has\n.been marked hy a steady yearly Increase beginning with 81,547 tons in\n187 to a gross production of 2,400-\n000 tons dn 1909. This satisfactory\nprogress is largely due to the fact\nthat the Industry of coal mining has\nbeen carried on on better business\nprinciples \"than that of lode mining,\nin other words, it has not heen the\nvictim of such frenzied finance as has\ncharacterized so many of our metal\nmining ventures. Further, -we have\nthe tact that the coal areas ve\nlarger, more constant, and less subject to change than lode mines, art.\nIn addition to the Vancouver ial-\ngreat coail area on one of the Queen\nCharlotte islands which, ere long will\nrank as one more of our valuable\nassets. The time appears to have arrived when the coal -measures on\nGraham laland.of the Queen Charlotte group, will be developed to itheir\nfullest extent, to meet the growing\ndemands for coal tor steamship, loco-\nimoiti-ve and generaa industrial purposes,\nconsequent upon .the Increase of business which will follow the opening up\not the interior of the province, by new\nrailway systems now being established and the increase of population by\nImmigration.\nProduction of Coal.\nThe coal mines of the province\nhave produced ' in all (1830 to 1900)\nabout 30,000,000 tons of coal, valued\nat nearly $92,000 000, and rather\nmore than 2,000,000 tone of coke\nvalued at $11,000 000, or in round\nfigures, a -total value of $103 000,000.\nThe net production of -coal tor 1909\nwas about 2.000,000 tons, and ot coke\n250,000 tons together valued, approximately, at $8 500,000. A substantial proportion of this was from\nthe coal mines of the coast district\nIn addition to the coast coal resources Mr. D. B. Dowllng of the Geological Survey of Canada, estimates\nthat the coal areas of rtihe Crow's\nNest Pass dlstrlot, southern and\nnorthern portions contain the enormous quantity of 36,600 million -tons of\nworkable coal.\nLarge Deposits of Iron Ore.\nFollowing the coal we also have\nlarge iron ore deposits though as yet\nundeveloped. The recent sale of the\nIron Mine, on Texada island, with its\nestimated 33 000,000 tons of ore, to\nDuluth capitalists, and the prospective building of an iron and steel\nplant on this coast in the near future\nare matters for congratulation as tending toward the establishment of an industry such, as In other countries is\ntaken as the index of industrial progress. What the successful Introduction of iron and steel making means\nto the coast and the province generally,\nyou gentlemen, ate well qualified to\njudge.\nIn addition to these coal and iron\nresources, we have prospective new\nmining camps to the north and judging from public and private reports\nfrom Portland canal district, we will\nhave a large mining camp there, for already the ore veins have been proved\nto a depiUi of 300 feet, the ores being\nof two kinds\u2014lead-silver and copper-\ngold.\nInjurious Effects of Wlldcattlng.\nWhile I am optimistic as to the future of Portland Canal dlstrlot, wie\nmust not blind ourselves to the probability almost the certainty, that the\nwildcatter will be there In all his\nglory. Already he Is gathering in his\nvictims while the snow covers the\nground to a depth of ten Teet. Those\nof you, gentlemen who had the pleasure of listening to an able address in\nthis hall two weeks ago, will recall\nihe remarks of Mr. J. G. Colmer, when\nhe said that while British capitalists\nappreciate \"Canadian investments,\"\nthey do not want \"Canadian wildcats.\"\nThe mining journals of this and every\nolher countries are constantly exposing wildcat mining Bchemes, and I\nventure the opinion that tills same\nwlldcaUsm has done as much to damn\nlegitimate mining enterprise ln this\nprovince as anywhere else.\nInsufficient Cash Capital.\nAnother cause of the failure of so\nmany of our mining ventures\u20141 refer especlallly to the orthodox $1,000,-\n000 mining companies\u2014Is tlie lack of\ncash capital subscribed to do the necessary and actual development\nwork and provide the machinery requisite to .make the enterprise a commercial success. According to the\nbest authorities on the subject it Ib\n\u2014.i\u2014i\u201ej um rmiv three Der cent, of\npoint An example of a copper ore\nthat was sold to a smelter ten years Is\nan illustration. The ore contained 6.3\nper cent, copper, and lt yielded Just $1\nper ton to the seller, after having\npaid a smelting charge of $6 per ton.\nToday this ore would net $8.60 per\nton, the smelting charge now being $2\nand other deductions in proportion. A\nsecond case was where an ore assayed\nfl.3 per cent, copper; it was charged\n$7.25 per ton for smelting which left\na deficit of 25 cents per ton. Today,\nowing to much reduced smelting refining and other charges, this ore\nwould net the mine owner $9.74 per ton.\nI think, gentlemen, these actual samples forcibly explain and illustrate tbe\nmetallurgical advances which have\ntaken place in smelting during the\npast ten years.\nThese improvements are due entirely to the metallurgists and the smelting companies; and the benefits derived from this advance have been\napplied to a reduction of the smelting\ncharges, and so entirely to the benefit\nof the mine owners, as it enables them\nto ship at a profit lowgrade ores\nwhich ten years ago would have been\nthrown on tlie dump as waste, or as\nconcentrating ores to be treated at\nsome more convenient season after\nsuitable facilities shall have been provided. In view of the reduced cost of\nsmelting, it follows that probably many\nof the prospects which ten years ego\ncould not be made to pay, would yield\nprofits under the present more favorable conditions.\nImprovements in ore dressing and\nconcentration have also made great\nstrides toward higher recoveries, both\nof the precious and the base metals,\nas well as reduction in operating costs.\nHigher Percentage of metals Recovered\nI remember in 1890, when a recovery of 50 per cent, of the value of\nan ore was an average quantity. Today, by means of Improved methods\nan average of 80 per cent, recovery is\nnot at all -uncommon.\nIn addition to tlie higher mineral\nvalues being recovered today as\ncompared with the past, the time may\nnot be far distant when other metals,\nsuch as zinc, which heretofore have\nbeen looked upon as an impurity and\na detriment, will become sources of\nrevenue. Already the provincial\ngovernment has done a great deal\ntoward a solution of this problem,\nwhile the Dominion government now\nhas under consideration a practical\ninvestigation of the subject of zinc\nseparation.

Let us hope the\ntime is not far distant when these pitfalls in mining will be remedied either hy common consent or hy law.\nProspects of the Mining Industry.\nOf the prospects of mining in the\ncoast district, I invite your attention\nto the fact that some of the older\nmines on Texada island continue to\nship ore regularly with profit to their\nowners and that the ore bodies which\na few years were considered \"pook-\neis\" bave been proved ito a depth of\n1 200 feet, and, in one case\u2014that of\nthe Marble Bay Mine\u2014there is enough ore blocked out to last threo\nyears without doing any more develop*\nment work. At Hidden creek, in ttu\nPortland Canal district, Mr. M. K.\nRodgers has opened large bodies ot\ncopper ore, and it ls fairly safe to say\nthat his mine can at any time enter\nthe list of shipping mines. In other\ndirections along the coast some very\npromising properties are also being\nbrought forward.\nAs to the prospects of mining ln the\nupper country, the large additions\nmade or to be made, to the smelting\nworks at Trail, Grand Forks and\nGreenwood will undoubtedly result in\na substantial increase over last year's\nproduction as regards both mining\nand smelting.\nImprovements in Smelting and Other\nConditions.\nIt would be entirely out of place at\nthis time tor me to go into the technology of thla subject so it muat suffice\n.that I point out that substantial progress hie been made in smelting dur*\n tag the past ten yews. This advance-\n-mtmsTZmmSS-a. m^TStS'SfyT-*^--^\n85\n190\n62\n37\ncapitalists must sooner or later turn\ntheir attention to the further exploitation of these resources, which, aided by\nmodern means of transportation, have\nbuilt up tlie province of British Columbia until the combined annual value of its timber, minerals, fish and agricultural products amounts to $82,500-\n000. Still further proving the intrinsic\nvalue of the mining industry to the\nprovince I .have only to point out that\nIts production almost equals that of the\nlumber, fishing and agricultural Industries combined.\nComparative Production Figures.\nIn order that you may the better\nrealize that great progress has been\nmade ,nnd that the average annual\nvalue of the mineral production of\nthe province during recent years has\nbeen quite large, I submit ithe following facts and figures.\nBritish Columbia's mineral production In the year 1885 was of a total\nvalue of only about $2,000,000. Reviewing the increase In periods of five\nyears each during twenty years, 1889\nto 1908 inclusive, the following results are obtained:\nFive Year* Average Percentage\nPeriods Annual of In-\nInclusive. Value.\n1889 to 1893....$ 3700,000\n1894 to 1898.... 10,750,000\n1899 to 1903.... 17,500,000\n1904 to 1908.... 24 000,000\nIt should be noted that lode mining\ndid not begin to be of Importance in ithe\nprovince until the second five-year\nperiod above shown.\n' The aggregate value of the mineral\nproduction of Canada for. 25 years to\nthe end of 1909 was 1035 million\ndollars. For the first year of this\nperiod, namely 1885, the total was\napproximately $10,000,000; for laat\nyear, 1909, it has been estimated by\nthe statistician of the Dominion department of mines at $90 000,000. During all years to date the aggregate\nproduction of -minerals tn British Co-\ndumbla is of a value of $350,000 000.\nDuring the 25-year period above mentioned, British Columbia has contributed about $285,000,000, or nearly 28 per\ncent, of the aggregate for the whole\nDominion. The production of this province in 1909 constituted In values\nrather more than 25 per cent of that\nof the Dominion, so that, notwithstanding the large increase recently made\nby Ontario British Columbia continues\nto well maintain a prominent position\nIn regard to ita proportion of the mineral production of Canada.\nAs Others See Us.\ntn conclusion gentlemen, tt Is Hot\nso much what we think of our province\nand its immense possibilities but wlhat\nthose on the outside think. It le wall\nto \"see ourselves as others see us,\" to\nwhich end I quote the opinions of\nCanadian, an American, a Welshman, a\ncanny Scot and an Englishman each of\nwhom is highly qualified to give aa\nopinion.

BLAKEMORE & CAMERON, NELSON AGENT8\nHOW TO HAVE FLOWERS\nFROM APRIL TO NOVEMBER\nThe Hollowing ie a synopsis of the\ntalk given by MrB. Rutherford before\nthe Woman's Institute:\n\"It has always heen a puzzle torn*;\nwhy so many people, women especially,\ntake so little Interest ln gardening. iTo\nme it is the moot interesting and absorbing of all occupations. In fact I\ngio even further and consider It almost\na cure for every ill, -both physical and\nmental. Who that loves flowers will\nnot torget aches and 'pains and small\nwories in caring for them and watch-ins\n'\u25a0their sweet response to that care.\n\"in considering the cause of this\napathy on the part ofl the average person, to the delightful art of gardening,\nit occurs to me that one cause is In the\nmistake so many people make in con-\nfittine; their gardening operations to\ngrowing; annuals or tender 'bedddng\nplants, such as \"\"-\"\"Veet peas, asters, petunias aad *he like. These are very\nbeautiful and desirable iblut how long\ndo you have bloom from them? Not\nmore than four months at the very best:\nAnd so all through the sweet spring\nmonths, when more than any other\n.time, one appreciates flowers, the gardens are bare. By ithe last of June your\nannuals -egtn to bloom but It gets hot\nsoon aft.-r and you *o\u00b0k very languidly\n\u2022at rdur tarden, in fact, are too bored\nor too tired to even keep the sweet peas\ncut,\n\"But we will turn from \"this to consider the ideal garden; a garden which\nfor seven months is full of Interest and\nbeauty, and which not only requires\nvery little attention; brut Increases tn\n.beauty, from year to year. This happy\nresult la attained hy the use of hardy\nperennials and spring bulbs, with a few\nannuals as fillers. And just here- lei;\nme caution you against h-ivlng a littl*-\ncf everything. Instead conoentrate upon\nthree or four good tilings for each\nmonth and grow them in masses so ns\nto have a complete picture; not a f-eiw\nstraggling spikes ot bloom Here and\nthere,\n\"Let its consider such a gartien o>\"\nborder ln April, and will suppose it to\nbe 25 feet long, the width of the average\nolty lot, and 8 feet wide. We shall\nsow our sweet .peast at ithe back of the\nborder, soaking them over night antl\nsowing In a drill fi Inches deep and coy-\nretng the seed 2 Inches deep and as tlie\n-Plants grow drawing the soil in around\nthem In order to have a good deep rooted plant to resist'the hot weather.\n\"Art the front of our (border we shall\nhave crocus, snowdrops and ecllla,\ngrowing them In little scattering groups\nalong the .edge. These will give plenty\n00 Moom In the first part of. April and\nby -the time they are over our narcissi\nwill be blooming. These we shall plant\nat intervals just behind the crocus in\ngroups also and for an exquisite carpet\nor background for them *we shall have\nrock cresB, a charming perennial, forming - dense mat of fragrant white\nbloom ail through April;, and bodis\nclumps of forget-me-nots. Unless emu\nhas seen such an arrangement, no Idea\ncan be formed of its ibeouty, and au\nadded advantage is thai it increases in\nbeauty eveiy year. Tula will carry us\nthrough April and most of May and for\nthe latter part of May we shaft have\ngroups ot tiie late tulips all along our\nborder. The Parrot, Uesuerlana and\ntlie new Darwin tulips are all beautiful\nsonis and will bloom till June; and \u25a0;fpv\nour June display I know of nothing bettor than Oriental popples and spring\nMarguerites. These bloom at the same\ntime and make a stunning picture; the\nboid form and blazing scarlet ot the\npopples set off the dainty white and\ngold of the Marguerites. To get a good\nei-fect one should have at least five\nplants 01 poppies and three or four\nMarguerites.\n\"And, now we come to July, the month\nof opulence, when we hardly know\nwhat to choose from the wealth of\nbloom available. But we shall confine\nourselves to just four varieties, fox-\ng'oves, white and pink; Larkspurs blue.\nShasta- daisies and Canterbury bells,\nand snail have three or four groups\ncomposed of theBe in different combinations; but let each gtottp have at least\nfive of each sort of plant. For example, plant five Larkspurs at the\nback of tue border with white foxgloves\ntn *ront and Shasta daisies or Canterbury bells in front of that again; and\nyou will have a mass of ihlooin altmost\nso'id fiom tlie ground six feet iilglv\n'ihese combinations imay he varied as\n-much ae you like but we must have\nroom for our August display which, will\nibe yellow, and coniposeaf \u00b0* golden\nglow, Coreopsis Lanceolattt and Galllar-\ndia.\n\"And now we come to September and\nfor this month our big feature will be\nas.eis, which we have sawed ln a seed\n\u25a0bed in April and transplanted later\nInto the spaces between our tulip, bulbs.\nDo not grow mixed asters, the colors\n'fight with each other, but try growing\nthree or tour sorts, say pink, white and\nlavender In masses by themselves ain.l\nsee how much more satlSifiaotiory Ib the\nefieo.. You w\u00bbi have lots of asters\nall (through September and even into\nOctober, but for our October we Bhall\nhave hardy chrysanthemums, which\n\u25a0rtl-l give us quantities of bloom all\nthrough the month and even into November.\n\"Now we have accompanied the pw*\noesafon of flowers through the summer\nand I am afraid you are thinking: 'All\nthis sounds very well, hut I could never\nhave such a garden.' Let me tell you\nhow such a garden can .be made with\nonly the expenditure of a few dollars\nfor bulbs, less than, a dollar for seeds,\na little labor and patience to wait a\nyear. Of course you could buy all the\nplants I have mentioned from any of\nthe big florist establishments and have\na -similar garden this year, with the exception of the bulbous flowers, but I\nwould suggest this plan: Have your\nborder dug over now and plant it with\nannuals, say sweet peas at the back,\nsweet alyssum and mignonette along\nthe 'front and then divide the space between in four or five plots.; 8-cw early\nasters in one, Shirley popples, stocks\nand late asters, in the others. If you\nhave never seen a mass of Shirley popples about seven feet square you haive\nsomething to live for. I might mention\nthat as soon as the poppies are through\nblooming a good plan Is to pull them up,\nspade over the ground and set out nasturtiums, which you have sowed lata\nand they will bloom -till frost.\n\"At the same time sow seeds of\nlarkspur or Delphinium, Shasta daisy,\nOriental poppy, foxgloves, spring Marguerite and other perennials mentioned\nand as soon as they are big enough to\nhandle, transplant them -into the vegetable garden about 8 Inches apart and\ncultivate between them occasionally\nduring the summer. Then in the toll\ngive your borders a good top dressing\nof well rotted manure, have it-tunned.\nunder deeply and set out your perennials in somewhat of the order I have\nmentioned.. Plant your ibulbs and then\nrake all the dead leaves you can get\non to your border jwittl a few boughs of\nevergreen to keep them from blowing\naway; and all through the winter you\ncan hug yourself over the knowledge\nthat with the first bright days of April\nthe crocus -will greet you: and from then\nWH frost there will be no day when your\ngarden will not be a thing of beauty\nand full of Interest.\n\"Ana as you watch the pageant of\nthe .flowers, as one gives place to another all through the summer, you will.\nI venture to predict, find that you have\ncontracted the garden fever and will\nnever again be contented with anything\nless than the ideal garden.\"\nTHREE HUNDRED DEAD\nBUDA PEST, March 29\u2014According to\nan official report received from the\nvice-governor of thig district by the\nministry of the Interior today, the dead\nin the ballroom flre at Oakerlte number 300.\nEMPLOY INEXPERIENCED MEN\nPHILADELPHIA, March 20 \u2014 No\nchange Is noticeable today In the carmen's strike.

FOSTER Manager.\nWEDNESDAY, MARCH 30.\nA UNIQUE ADVANTAGE.\nNelson haa one particular, outstanding advantage possessed iby no other\nrailway and commercial centre in\nCanada, west of Fort William on Lake\nSuperior,-\u2014cheap power.\nIndeed It Is doubtful if any other city\ntn Canada, except Niagara Falls, is\nequally favored In this respect. At\nShawnigan in Quebec and at Fort William, the severity of the winter detracts to some extent from the value of\nthe water power; it certainly adds to\nthe difficulty and expense of operation\nand to the price for the user, Frazil\nice forms and other obstacles. to\nsmooth running arise.\nIa Nelson we have not only good\nwater power but a mild climate, and\nwe are at the chief shipping and distributing point of a lumber and mining\ncountry; we are also at no great distance from the wheat fields of Alberta; we are on the direct route between those fields and the Pacific.\nAt Winnipeg coal and wood are distant. The nearest water power is\neighty miles away; it can be brought\nin only at a heavy cost (for interest on\ncapital and for wire leakage and operating expenses. Lethbrldge depends on\ncoal. Calgary and Edmonton must do\nlikewise. Vancouver must do the\nsame and coal is not cheap there.\nIt is difficult to believe that the advantage Nelson enjoys in this respect\nwill not result in the establishment,\nsooner or later of manufacturing industries to an extent greater than can\nnow be foreseen. But some day it\nwilt be realized. A boom will come\nand we shall all be wishing we had got\nin on the ground floor while we had\nthe chance.\nINDEPENDENCE WITHIN THE\nEMPIRE\nSpeaking at Ottawa during the debate\non the naval question, Mr. Turcotte,\nmember for Nicolet, said:\nIndependence appears in certain\nquarters to be a monster and a\nnightmare to those whose interest\nin Canada is small and secondary,\nand who have only the love and\nloyalty of the empire in their\nhearts. But I ask of these men\nshall not Canada sooner or later\nhave to choose between annexation\nand Independence? Are two destined to -remain a colony, and are not\ntrue Canadians who love their country before all others to have in\ntheir hearts a very legitimate am**\nbitilon to see it firee and Independent.\nIt Is neither patriotic nor loyal\non the part of these men to put\nobstacles in the way of the common development of our political\norganization and ta pretend that\nWe ought always to dwell under thn\nprotection of the British flag.\nBut, thank God, 1 am convinced\nthat this will not be the case, and\n. the creatkm of -this naval fleet to\nmy humble opinion Is the last step\ntowards Independence.\nLt is fiom this point of view, -particularly, and I might say exclusively, that I at the present time\nffhre nay adhesion to the Liberal\nPtftey; I -SMaic from a Canadtao\npoint of v-tow, and $ tatfere tiila\n\u25bctaw of the question Is tbat of the\nmajority of the electors of -my country; indeed, I do not believe that lt\nwould be too much #\u00bb'\nThe Hume |;\nHUME\u2014Thomaa A.

Will\nRepeal Measure at First\nOpportunity.\nLONDON, March 29.-The flrst day's debate In the house of commons on Premier\nAsquith's .resolution on the veto power ot*\nthe house of lords proved conclusively that\nthe lords will not yield their privileges\nwithout a great struggle.\nOpposition Attitude,\nA, 3. Balfour, the opposition leader in\nthe commons, declared plainly that It was\nthe intention of his party to take the flrst\nopportunity to repeal any measure restricting the house of lords powers to veto.\nOn the other hand. Premier Asqulid's\nspeech seems to have put new life Into\nhis conglomerate party, and the* speeches\nof John W. Redmond, for the Irish party,\nand George N. Barnes, for the Laborites,\n.as well as those of the representatives of\nthe Welsh constituencies, all breathed defiance to the lords.\nNot Drastle Enough.\nThe only-dissatisfaction expressed was\nthat the premier's** proposals were not\ndrastle enough, but they promised' full\nsupport to the resolutions nevertheless.\n.Division on Monday.\nThe debate will be continued throughout\nthe week, and the division will be taken\non Monday. Mr. Redmond has summoned\na meeting of his party for tomorrow for\nfurther consideration of the situation.\nBriefly Btated, Mr. Asquith's three resolutions provide that the lords shall have no\npart la' financial legislation, -that their\npower over other legislation shall consist\nonly in compelling deliberation, but not\nbeyond the lire of a single parliament, and\nthat the life of a parliament Shall be\nlimited to Ave Instead of seven years.\nDETECtlVE WANTED\nON CHARGE OF THEFT\nHALIFAX, March 29\u2014Detective Han-\narven leaves in a few days for England\n-to bring back George McLeod, ithe private detective who is wanted here on a\ncharge of stealing $650 from a 'lady\nrestaurant keeper of thia city whose\n\u25a0daughter he 'had promised to wed.

Thaw for Big Legal Feet-\nTemporary -Insanity only Defence.\nNEW YORK, March 29-Cllfford W.\nHartrldge, formerly counsel for Harry K.\nThaw, told on the witness stand today\nof some of the work he had done in\npreparing the defense In the flrst of Thaw's\ntrials for the killing of Stanford White.\nHarry Thaw, after a night in Bellevue,\nwas in court, as was his mother, Mrs.\nMary C. Thaw, whom Hartrldge ls suing\nfor (9*1,000, alleged to be due him for services and disbursements in the Thaw esse.\nOnly Possible Defence.\nHartrldge said he told Mrs. Thaw that\nthe only defense for Harry was one ot\ntemporary Insanity, brought on by stories\nihe had heard, and h\u00bb said he told her\nthat It was very necessary to prevent people, It possible, by legitimate means, uum\ntelling the*\"*, stories, r-o a\u00ab to ^e*>n him\nout of public print. He collected Thaw's\nletters and papers from various places,\nend did much work along, this line.\nPASTOR GUILTY OF CONTEMPT.\nNEW HAVEN, Conn., Maroh 2\u00bb.-The\nRev., Ernest L. Wlsmer, pastor of the\nDavenport avenue Congregational \u25a0 church,\nwas summoned before Judge Wolfe of the\ncommon pleas court today and declared ln\ncontempt for writing a letter to a Juror,\nElbert M.' Rose, of Nort \"Brantford,\ncriticising the Jury and Rose in particular\nfor acquitting Albert Holtsworth, a- saloon\nkeeper, on charges of violation of the \u00ab-\nvlse lawk. Judge Wolfe gave the clergyman a sharp rebuke, telling him that the\ncriticism wags-tantamount to a threat and\nIntimidation.\nNO KNOWLEDGE OF BRIBEERY.\nWASHINGTON, Maroh \u00bb-United States\nSenator Leroy Percy, In a formal state*\nmint todav declared himself to be \"without any knowledge or Information\" regarding the alleged bribery In connection\n-with hia election to tha United state*\nsenate.

Modern\nsocial Hife presents new problems and\ndemands new powers to meet and\nsolve these problems. Tbe work of\neducators then Is to adapt the course\nof study to the new conditions so -that\nthe children will become men trained\nto cope with life effectively.\nReading.\nW. H. M. May of Grand Forks, gave\na most illuminative paper on the subject of reading, which drew forth pronounced applause. That it aroused\nkeen Interest was proven by the numbers who later ventured an opinion upon the methods outlined By Mr. May.\nOne compliment paid it was tbe statement that lt waB practical enough to be\nunified by those who listened\nFluency, -comprehension of the ideas\nread, and expressiveness, were the alms\nsuggested by the speaker. The value\nof phonetics carried right.through the\njunior grade was emphasized, even\nthough the mechanical difficulties could\nbA conquered ln lees time.\nMethods Illustrated.\nFluency having been attained, more\nattention should be given, said the\nspeaker, to the thought contained in\nthe selections read. The method of\nprocedure was illustrated by the detailed treatment of tbe poem \"Excelsior.\" Pattern and simultaneous reading were strongly endorsed.\nThe paper was followed by an address on reading by Mr. T. H. Roberts,\nwho recommended a course in supplementary reading, and examination tests\nfn oral reading.\nThose Present.\nAmong the teachers present are: Mr.\nS. H. Murphy, Vancouver; Mr. A.

The teachers were present in full\nforce and a number of others were\nhonored with invitations. The ladles\nreceiving were, Mrs. Fraser and the\nMisses Scanlan, MacVicar, Taylor,\nSmith and McLennan. A geographical\ncontest had been arranged for by Mrs.\nPearcy, Miss McLennan and Miss\nGrant. Those ln charge of the musical\nnumbers were, .Miss Bate, Miss Wade,\nMiss L.

Smith, and a\npiano duet toy tiie Misses Bealby.\nBright Program.\nThe program was a bright one and\nproved extremely pleasing. A humor\nous reading was well given by Mias\nCrandall of .Crawford. Miss Cynda\nPatrick gave pleasure by her rendition\nof Godard's \"Angels Guard Thee.\" Mrs.\nStevenson sang \"Good-bye Tostl\" in as\nvery attractive a manner that an insistent demand was made for an encore and the singer graciously favored\nwith d'Hardelot's \"Because.\" An\nocean song by Mr. R. Brown likewise\nmet with ouch favor tbat his return to\ntbe stage was clamored for. Miss J.\nHepperson accompanied the slngcs-a In\nacceptable style. Among the most popular numbers were selections toy the\nAlbion quartette. Orchestral numbers\nformed a delightful -background for the\nconversational minutes and a guessinfe\ncontest whiled away a merry hour,\nafter which a tastefully served supper\nwas enjoyed.\nPAYING FRONT\n(Continued Prom First Page.)\nproved. Its condition at the present\ntime was no credit to the city. On\nmotion of Aid. McDonald and Carrie\nIt was decided to re-plank Front street.\nFir will probably be used. In the olden\ndays one side of the street was paved\nwith macadam, of which, according to\nMayor Selous the council of that day\nwsb very proud.\nAid, Mackenzie asked the city engineer If he had ever laid off a man be*\ncause he was a union man, stating that\na man who claimed to have been bo\nlaid off had made that complaint. Mr.\nMackay replied that he had no instructions from the council on the subject,\nand that he never asked a man\nwhether he was union * or not.' He\nthought he possibly knew the man Aid.\nMackenzie had In mind', but that man\nhad worked aB long as there was any\nw<*i k for him to do,\nPoundkeeper,\nFive applications for the post of\npoundkeeper and dog catcher were\nread. Aid. Mackenzie favored adopting the mayor's idea of giving the office to a bright hoy, ibut lt was pointed\nout to him tbat no boys had applied.\nE. Burton was tbe successful applicant,\nat a salary of |60 a month. It Ib\nthought that two or three months will\nsuffice to clean up this work for the\nyear.\nHerbert L. Lindsay, proprietor of\nthe Lindsay Launch and Boat company,\nsubmitted his views on the waterfront\nquestion ln a letter, which was turned\nover to the commlttee-of-the-whole-\ncouncll which was dealing with that\nmatter. Mr. Lindsay also discussed the\nmatter with the council, pointing out\nthat he expected to make a number of\nImprovements in his plant if he should\nremain In business, and asking if the\ncouncil could Indicate to him the lines\non which the vexed question of the\nre-apportionment of the waterfront\nwould finally be settled. He said that\nlast fall, when the proposition was to\ngive a berth to Mr. Astley, he and Mr.\nElford* had agreed that Mr. Astley\nshould have the choice of berthing next\nto either of them and having use of the\nwalk free. Mr. Astley, however, had\nannounced that he was going out to\nthe park, and Mr. Lindsay had left for\nCalifornia under the Impression that\nthe question was all settled. Now,\nhowever, the proposition was quite a\ndifferent one.\nWaterfront Bails.\nHis worship stated that he had been\nprepared last fall to take the bull by\nthe horns, and -settle the question\nearly, but the livery men had ibeen unable to agree among themselves. The\ncouncil at the present time was concerned first to get the Launch club\nnuestion settled. He could assure Mr.\nLindsay, however; that the council\nwould give all a fair deal. His own\nidea was that the existing piling 'Should\nnot be disturbed, and that the liveries\nahould be In one place, the Boat club\nin another, and the Launch club in another. He favored steps down Ward\nstreet, giving the Launch club the\nshore berth. No one beside the Launch\nclub would he permitted to sub-let\nspace.\nAldermen Wells, Rutherford, McDonald and Mayor Selous were appointed a committee to formulate a scheme\nfor the allottment of the waterfront,\nand a set of regulations to govern its\nadministration.\nAid. Carrie complained that a vehicle\ncontaining 30 cases of dynamite, besides kegs of powder passed down\nBaker street, so loaded that even the\ntail-boards, which was secured by a\nshort chain, bore a heavy weight. If the\nchain had broken, a part of Nelaon\nwould have gone.\nFalrview Negotiations.\nAid. McDonald reported that the ratepayers of Falrview desired to have the\nrepresentatives of tbe council address\nthem, on tbe question of amalgamation. \u25a0\nAid. Mackenzie wanted to know what\nwere tbe advantages Nelson bad to\noffer Falrview.\nAid. Wells retorted toy wanting to\nknow what Nelson was going to have\nto pay tfor the privilege of taking in\nFairvlew.\nMayor Selous pointed out that at one\nperiod the city sold Falrview light and\nwater at an advance of 25 per cent.\nover the prices charged the residents\nof Nelson. A later council had reduced\nthe rhtes to the same figure, though\nthe Nelson people still'had the burden\nof paying the interest. In reply to a\nquestion, he gave the opinion that the\ncouncil could raiae the rates again if it\ndeBlred. In reply to a recital by Aid.\nMackenzie, of the opinion ot a Fair-\nview man -who had 10 lots and was\nagainst coming into the city, his worship made the pronouncement, \"Every\nman will go with his pants pocket,\ngentlemen.\"\nANNOUNCEMENT TODAY.\nWASHINGTON, Mar-ah a.-It was officially stated today-that the announce-\nmeat of the tariff agreement with Canada\n\u2022would be made tomorrow at noon at Ottawa and at the stats department here\nsimultaneously.

For some\ntime this subject has heen agitated in\nWinnipeg as a result of the excessive\ncost of vegetables at those seasons\nwhen everything of this character Is Imported from the States. The dealers\nhave always held that the duty forced\nthem to keep the price of these foods\nup abnormally. The idea Is to protect\ndomestic fruits and vegetables in season and have tbe duty taken off when\nthe imported products do not compete\nwith domestic products.\nBRANDED AS BRIBE TAKER\nALBANY, N.Y., March 29\u2014J.
