The preamble to the veto\nbill, the consideration of which was\nregarded as the most critical test for\nthe government, proved easiest to carry.\nThe Unionist opposition to the hill almost vanished. In place of hundreds\nof amendments, which threatened to\ndelay proceedings in the committee\nstage, only a few important ones, mainly In the direction of urging joint sit*\ntings or a conference of the two houses\nin cases 6f disagreement will be moved\nin the report of the hill which is expected to occupy only two or three days\nnext week. An amendment that the\npreamble he eliminated moved by G.\nN.

He\nhated some of it but liked another part\nof it and therefore would not vote\nagainst It.   .\nAmid loud ministerial cheers the preamble was then agreed to wlbhout division. On motion that the hill as\namended be reported' a division was\nchallenged and the motion was carried\n265 to 147.\nThe house then adjourned, the government supporters giving vent to the\nwildest enthusiasm.\nPREMIER M' BRIDE\nIN TWIN CITIES\nConferring With Railway Magnates on\nTransportation  Matters\u2014Speaks\non Reciprocity Question.\nMINNEAPOLIS, MINN, May 3.\u2014\nRichard McBrlde, premier of British\nColumbia, is in the Twin Cities today on\nhis way to London to attend the coronation of King George.

Frank Oliver, minister of the Interior, an order in council\nwas passed on May 8, giving the Canadian Northern railway company power\nto select In the province of Saskatchewan 600,000 acres of land in place of\nlands granted to the Manitoba & Southeastern railway and that on Oct. 3 in\nthe same year ?50,000 was paid into the\nImperial bank at Edmonton to the credit\nof -Mr. Oliver and that about one year\nlater the further sum of $19,000 was\nsimilarly paid into the same bank to\nthe like credit of Mr. Oliver.\n\"And Mr. Oliver having on the second\nday of May stated from his place in\nthis house that no foundation (whatever\nexisted for the Insinuation or suspicion\nthat said payments of money or either\nof them were made on account of the\npassing of the said order in council or\nby reason of the making of said land\ngrant of ln any way In connection therewith or on account thereof. .\n\"Resolved, that it be referred to a special committee of five members to Investigate and inquire Into the truth of\nthe statement and of the matters above\nBet forth and that the committee have\npower to send for persons, papers and\nrecords and to examine persons on oath\nor affirmation and to report from time\nto time.\"\nConservative Leader Objects\nR. L. Borden said that tho motion,\nwhile different in form was to the same\neffect as the one to which he took exception on Tuesday. He remarked that\nthis waB very much of a family quarrel\nbetween the supporters of the prime\nminister. When the premier introduced\nthe matter in the house he did not name\nthe gentleman who' had made the\ncharges against Mr. Oliver, hut referred\nto an article in the Toronto Telegram,\nof .which he did not read the most important parts. The article in the Telegram did not Indicate the source from\nwhich came the funds placed to the\ncredit of Mr. Oliver but did state that\nan enquiry should be held as to their\norigin.\nOn Tuesday from his place In the\nhouse the minister of the interior had\nBald that he was the minister to whom\nthe allusion had been made while the\npremier had stated it was Mr. McGllllcuddy who had made the charges.\nMr. Oliver had not alluded to the article in the Telegram and had made no\nreference to the charges or allegations\nmade by Mr. McGllllcuddy in his interviews with the prime minister. The\nproposed motion of the prime minister\nwas restricted in its terms as to whether\nthe surmise or suspicion ot the Toronto\nWorld article was correct or not In\nthe opinion of Mr. Borden the matter to\nbe Inquired into was whether the money\ncame from a tainted source. It might\nbe assumed that the money came from\n100 sources and yet none of them might\nbe questionable, but the premier bad\ntaken one surmise or suspicion and\nwould give the house an opportunity to\nprove or disprove it. Such a suggestion\nwas not worthy of the prime minister,\nof Mr. Oliver or of parliament. \"Let\nus,\" he said, \"be satisfied that Mr. Oliver Is free from any suspicion of unworthy motives. But let it be an Investigation to satisfy parliament and the\ncountry.\"\nMr. Borden said that the matter could\nbe settled by a committee In five minutes if the-minister would state that the\nmoney was from private sources. Why\ntherefore should he leave lt open to\nconjecture that It might be from any\none hundred other possible sources. It\nmight he said on the other side of the\nhouse that it would not be a proper\nthing to have these deposits Investigated but there was not a murmur when\nthe bank account ot Mr. Foster waa Inquired into by a royal commission which\nthe-premier had himself appointed.\nMoves Amendment\n\"Does the prime minister think,\" said\nMr. Borden, \"that he will be solving\nthe mystery by taking any such course?\nSuch an Inquiry would be a pure farce\nand merely stage play not made for the\npurpose of-disposing of the question.\nIt would not be a real Investigation and\nmembers on the other side of the house\nwill refuse to have part or parcel in lt,\"\nMr. Borden then moved the following\namendment and ln doing so said that\nhis object was to make the scope of the\nInquiry just as wide as the premier had\nmade It when he spoke:\n\"That a special committee   of   five\nmembers be appointed to inquire into\nand Investigate the charges and allegations set forth and referred to in the\nstatement of the prime minister made\nin the houee on Friday, April 28 last\nand the charges and allegations set\nforth and referred to ln statements of\nHon. Mr. Oliver, minister of the interior\nand of the prime minister made in this\nhouse on Tuesday, the 2nd day of May\nInstant.\"\nRefuses to Accept\n\u25a0Sir Wilfrid in refusing to accept the\namendment said that Mr. Borden's proposal would not he fair to Mr. Oliver.\nIt was true that he had quoted from an\narticle ln the Toronto Telegram w]|en\nhe drew the matter to the attention of\nthe house. He, however, did that simply\nln order to let the house know that McGllllcuddy had been Informed that if\nhe had charges to make against Mr.\nOliver he was at liberty to go ahead\nand make them. Up to that time only\ngeneral statements had been made. On\nthe following day, however, tbe Toronto\nWorld contained an Insinuation. While\nno direct charge was made by the World\nthis waa something tangible. The moment the Insinuation had been made\nMr. Oliver bad said that he denied there\nwas any ground for the insinuation.\nHe was prepared to show that there was\nno foundation for It. Mr. Borden says\nthere is a suspicion as to the source\nof the funds placed in the bank but he\nwould ask the house to judge whether\nlt iwould be just to investigate the matter in the way proposed. He admitted\nthat it might possibly come from a hundred legitimate sources and yet would\ninquire into the matter in the manner\nproposed. What Mr. Borden desired\nwas authority to fish for evidence. He\nwould ask Mr. Oliver to prove a negative. He would aBk Mr. Oliver to go\ninto the box and prove his own innocence, in the face of the well known*\nrule that a man Is innocent until it Is\nproved that he is guilty.\nMr. Foster Advises Publicity\nHon. G. E. Foster said there was no\nauthority for the statement that the\nToronto World had made insinuations.\nThe two statements should have been\nplaced side by side but that did not\nconstitute a direct allegation. The\ncharge which the. premier asked the\nhouse to investigate was therefore one\nwhioh Mr. Oliver had framed himself.\nThe only charge In which the country\nwas really interested was that made by\nMr. McGllllcuddy to the premier. He\nstated that Mr. Oliver was a boodler\nand a grafter. The charge had been\nmade by a friend and a former benlfi-\nciary of the government. Mr. Foster\nasked the premier t'>say If a committee\nof Inquiry would be allowed to examine\nthe evidence of Mcailllcuddy.\nThe premier made no comment and\nMr. Foster said he would take it that he\nrefused. The member for North Toronto said that they were not asking for\nan- Investigation into the private business of Mr. Oliver but It must be remembered that the minister of the interior was a public man with responsibilities to the public. Personally he\nwould be glad if Mr. Oliver showed\nhimself absolutely clean in this matter.\nHe himself had an experience of Investigations, and while no man had\never made a charge against his public\ncharacter some charges had been made\nagainst his private life. Indeed there\nwere men in the house who had gone\nfurther than any decent man should.\nAll he had to say was that his character would stand for what it was worth\nand for what God knows it to be. He\nwould advise Mr. Oliver to take hold ot\nthis matter strongly and lay before the\ncommittee and the country every transaction in that bank account. If he did\nnot take this course there would he suspicion that he was not able to do so.\nMinister's Statement\nHon. Frank Oliver began his statement with the remark that the question of interest to the house and country was the question as to. how those\nwho were charged with public responsibilities discharged those responsibilities. As to what private transactions\nany person might have-not connected\nwith public responsibilities, these matters were not intthe same class as the\ndischarge of public responsibilities. He\ndeclared that he was not trying to shirk\ninvestigation. The article in th Toronto Telegram did not allude to him specifically, therefore it was not for him\nto act. There had been an allusion to\nthe prime minister, therefore it waB\nthe duty of the prime minister to take\ncognizance of it. But the Toronto\nWorld had specifically connected his\nname with an Insinuation, a curious insinuation, which related to an important administrative act for which he was\nprimarily responsible. Mr. Oliver said:\n\"I think It was only right that the country Bhould know and have the earliest\nopportunity of knowing what foundation there waB for that insinuation. In\nregard to what ray hon. friend tho leader of the opposition has suggested, he\nhas been unkind enough to suggest,\nthat money which waB placed to my credit might have come from a thousand\ndifferent sources. He was perfectly correct In that. I want to say to Uie house\nwhat Is within the knowledge of members of both sides, that the transactions\nof the interior department during the\nsix years that I have been at Its head\nhave been necessarily of such a character as to make possible tho securing\nof contributions from day to day of\nlarge or small amounts. Everybody\nknows that.\"\nMr. Borden\u2014I would like to interrupt\nthe minister for a moment. In the first\nplace I did not say a thousand, in the\nsecond place I used the work hundred\nwithout the slightest idea of making\nany Insinuation or suggestion, but merely by way of argument. I do not want\n(Continued on Page Four.) .\nSCHEDULE OF\nGovernment Secures Splendid Array of Talent.\nSUBJECTS FORM\nLENGTHY LIST\nAll Important Points in This\nDistrict Will Be Visited\nDuring Course\nThe department of agriculture has secured a splendid array of talent for the\nregular course of spring lectures on a\nvariety of subjects before the various\nFarmers* institutes in the province,\nwhich will commence on May 8 and\ncontinue until the middle ot July.\nThe lecturers who will give addresses\nare: M.

It\nhas been the practice of these people\nto point with Bcorn to the love affairs\not the co-educational college. \"Behold the billings and cooings of youth\nwho ought to be poring over their\nHomer,\" shriek the critics \"What an\nawful scandal.\"\nBut Dr. Wheeler does not see the\nscandal. He thinks the hillings and\ncooings are not only lovely in themselves, bub they lead on to highly\nsatisfactory outcomes. Compared with\nthe ordinary marriages made In heaven,\nDr. Wheeler believes that the marriages\nmade in college are a great improvement.\nThere Is much to sustain his opinion.\nEngagements to marry are commonly\ncontracted under conditions which do\nnot prognosticate a great deal of happiness. With passion for a guide and Ignorance for Inspiration, the fatal vows\nare taken with a fair certainty of repentance not far ahead. \"Marry in\nhaste, repent at leisure,\"  accurately\nsums up a lamentable common experience as the divorce records prove.\nDr. Wheeler says lovemaklng proceeds very differently at college, and\nindeed why should It not? There passion is no longer the guide. Venus\nyields tbe sceptre to Minerva. All is\nsedate, leisurely, deliberate. Life flows\non In an Intellectual calm. The young\nwoman bedolds her swain ln the pitiless glare of the recitation room where\nhe dally makes an exhibition of himself. He regards her as she blushes and\nflounders through a speech on the college rostrum. There can be no Illusion,\nno soft Interchange of enchanting nothings, no nonsense.\nUsually, as Dr. Wheeler strangely\nomits to say, college engagements are\nmade In the junior year, which ia a\nripe age Intellectually If not not physically. By tbat time the critical faculties\nare highly developed. If a person is\na fool or a knave he cannot spend two\nyears at college without betraying it. If\na girl Is a simpleton it will be known\nto all long ere she is a junior. Hence\nengagements are made with all the\ncertainty of happiness which full\nknowledge and mature judgment Insure.\nThe welfare of the American family\ncommands us to uphold the co-educa-\nttonal college.\nSwift's Animal Fertilizers\nAre Soil Builders.

C.\nC.N.R. Trancontinental Terminal\nSole Agents on the Pacific Coast for this Special Terms Issue of The Canadian Northern Railway Convertible\nDebenture Stock.   Write for Particulars.\nThe Western issue ONLY is being sold upon the following easy terms and conditions and can only be obtained\nat the offices below.\nTerms $15 on application and $15 on allotment, balance in $10 calls at 60 days' notice before 1916, and are\nconvertible at option of holder into stock of the Canadian Northern Railway at par in 1916.\nThese debenture Bonds carry 5 per cent, interest on the full amount ($100) from date of issue, payable half-\nyearly.\nSubstantial Profits Accruing to These Bonds.\u2014The company claims that this issue is \"gilt-edged,\" fully equal\nas to security and profit possibilities to any investment offering. The stock being fully guaranteed as to principal\nand interest.   The interest is a first charge on the net earnings of the system.\nAs it is possible some may not realize the possibilities and exceptional\nterms offered to the Western public, we may remark that many prominent people (who ore in no wise connected with the company) claim that\nthese Debentures by 1916 (live years trom now) will prove exceedingly\nvaluable, many believe that these profits may equal the original Issues of\nthe C.P.R, The latter stock, as is well known, after providing bonuses of\n$1800 per share and paying $800 interest ln the Interval, have (after providing these large profits) a market value of $226 per share and today are\npaying 7 1-2 per cent interest annually.\n\"Where,\" some may ask, \"can these profits come from?\" The answer is obvious, viz., from the development and sale of the vast subsidiary\nassets, as well as the enormously increased traffic returns of the railroad\nitself, -Which, although amounting to $16,000,000 last year, will be probably\ntrebled on the completion of tbe Hue in 1916.\nThe first issue of C.N.R. stock is being made to the public of Western\nCanada under more favorable conditions than that of the C.P.R. for at the\ntime of that road's construction Western Canada was generally considered\na frozen waste, and that company sold much of their valuable lands at from\n$3.00 to $8.00 per acre; whereas the C.N.R. is now selling their lands from\n$10.00 to as high as $20,00 per acre and much land In Manitoba has heen\nBold at prices in the vicinity of $70.00 to $100.00 per acre, so much are conditions Improved since the construction of the C.P.R. some 30 years ago.\nThe profits accruing are being also enormously increased by the 200\nnew towns and cities the railroad has created, to say nothing of their coal\nlands, irrigation and swamp lands, all of which ore very valuable.\nAlthough any allotted Debenture bolder can pay up and secure hla\nDebentures at any time, yet it Ib unlikely that the Company Itself will call\nup more than the deposit and allotment until 1916, simply charging English Bank rate of Interest on tiie unpaid portion and crediting their account\nwith the full amount of Interest half-yearly, as it accrues due.\nWrite for Prospectus\nPORT MANN\nTerminus Canadian Northern Railway\nWe have secured the exclusive handling of the first subdivision of inside city property at Port Mann and now\n.offer same for immediate sale. \u2022\nThe property is located about 400 yards from the waterfront and close to C.N.R. wharves and railroad station\nRequest for Prospectus\nFill In, Sign and Mall Promptly\nCANADIAN RAILWAY SECURITIES CORPORATION,  Limited.\nPacific Coast Agency, 1101 Dominion Trust Building, Vancouver, B.C.\nMall me Immediately  coptei of prospectus of\t\n  If deciding to Invest, my requirements would probably amount to..\nName '        Address   ,\t\nScranton, Albany, Utlca, Troy and Bing-\nbamton, which finished in the order\nnamed last year, today began another\nseason.

The state law\nprohibits killing birds, but there is\nnothing In the code to prevent Gallaman\nfrom making a pet of the one he captured.

FOSTER Manager\nTHURSDAY, MAY 4\nADVERTISING NELSON AND\nDISTRICT.\nThat The Daily News ia a valuable\nagency ln the advertising of Nelson\nand the Kootenays generally and In\nthe bringing In of new settlers Is shown\nby the result of one copy of the paper\nhaving gone to one man in Glasgow\nfor some months past. This paper was\nsubscribed for at the suggestion of T.\nMunroe Cairns of Willow point and as\na result of its being read in the Old\nCountry there is one family now on the\nway out to this district, according to\ncable advices received by Mr. Cairns,\nwhile two other families were to have\nleft for here on May 1, although he has\nyet received no word of their having\nactually sailed.\nThis, It may be said, Is only one instance of the many such where direct\nresults of this kind are traceable to the\nagency of The Daily NewB. Quite a\nnumber of subscribers commenced taking the paper while residents of different partB of the Old' Country, of\neastern Canada and of the United\nStates, and have been regular readers\nof the paper since their arrival in the\nKootenay. In addition there is scarcely\na day in which The News does not\nreceive an inquiry for a few sample\ncopies of the paper from people who\nsay they are anxious to learn something\nabout the country with a view to\nBottling here.\nWhile The Daily News can Bay with\nperfect candor tbat It has done useful\nwork in this direction for Nelson and\nfor the Kootenay it, at the Bame time,\nrealizes that its sphere of usefulness\nis comparatively limited, when what\ncould be accomplished by other means\nis considered. There is scarcely any\nlimit to what could be accomplished by\na publicity campaign conducted upon\nproper lines. The time has come when\nadvertising is just as necessary to a\ncity or to a district as it is to any\nwell-regulated modern business institution. It makes a business; it will make\na city or district.\nWhile The Daily News will always\ncontinue to do Ub share toward the\ncountry's development at the same time\nit believes that some more comprehensive method of publicity for Nelson\nand the surrounding districts should be\nadopted, and that without delay. Tbe\nDally News, however willing It may be\nto do so, cannot be expected to provide\nall the publicity which this portion of\nBritish Columbia requires.\nMr. Oliver can clear himself beyond all\nshadow of a doubt be is not a fit man\nto bold a position ln the cabinet or any\nother public office. If he cannot do\nthis Sir Wilfrid Laurier owes It to himself to ask for his resignation if the\nminister.has not a sufficient appreciation of the fitneas of things to tender\nit voluntarily.\nThere Is, of course, the possibility of\nthe majority of the committee of Investigation, which will consist principally of his political friends, whitewashing Mr. Oliver no matter what may\nbe the evidence his accusers bave to\noffer against him. There have before\nthis been parliamentary inquiries in\nwhich this has been done. If It ls repeated ln this case and by a partizan\nvote of the committee Mr. Oliver\nvindicated in spite of strong evidence\nto the contrary Sir Wilfrid will still\nhave an opportunity to show that he\nbelieves In decency In public life by\ndismissing Mr. Oliver. In no case\nshould Mr. Oliver be allowed to continue in his present position if he can\nnot free himself from even the shadow\nof wrongdoing. On the other hand, If\nhe can show that the sums of $50,000\nand $19,000, respectively, came to him\nhonestly he Is entitled to' vindication\nof hla name and to retain bis, position,\nso far at least as this charge is concerned. The investigation will be\nwatched with the closest possible interest by the whole country, for It is\nnot often that a cabinet officer is\ncharged so specifically with graft as\nhas been Mr. Oliver.\nTEN YEARS AGO\nExtracts     From    The     Nelson\nTribune of May 4, 1901.\nDaily\nThe only small-pox patient in Nelson\nis now convalescent.

She claims $5\nper day and at least a couple of the\naldermen think the charge exorbitant.\nCHARGES AGAINST MR. OLIVER.\nHon. Prank Oliver, minister of the\ninterior, at present stands in a most\nunenviable position at Ottawa. He ls\nin the position of having to clear himself from what looks so far like a very\nclear case of graft made against him\nby the opposing faction in his own\nparty in Alberta. The charge briefly\nis that In return for a favor shown a\nrailway company In the matter of the\nselection of land under a grant made\nto it by tbe Dominion he was given and\naccepted $50,000 In cash at one time\nand $19,000 at another. In support of\ntbe charge thoBe making it have produced photographs of pages of bank\nbooks and other documents which, to\naay the least, make the case look\npretty bad for the minister.\nThe whole matter is now to a large\nextent sub judlce, the charges having\nbeen referred to a committee of the\nhouse of commons for investigation, and\nin any case it would not be fair to Mr.\nOliver to take it for granted that be ls\nguilty until he has been given tbe fullest possible] opportunity to explain and\nhas failed to do so satisfactorily. This\nmuch, however, can be said, tbat unless\nWILL NOT REVEAL\nSOURCE OFjMONEY\n(Continued from page one.)\ntbe minister to be under any misapprehension as to that.

I have no doubt that it fs a\nfact that I could take that action and\nclear the whole matter up, but I conceive my duty to be this: I do not believe that it is in the interests of Canada, I do not think that it is in the interests of the public life of Canada that\nupon an insinuation based upon theft\nand put forward as blackmail, a man\nIn public or private life in Canada be\ncompelled to expose his private business. I -do not think tbat lt would add\nto the dignity of parliament or to the\nstandard of public life in Canada to say\ntbat parliament should be the assistant\nof thugs and blackmailers by requiring\nthe exposure of a bank account in such\na statement as has been placed before\nthe public. Tho committee which has\nbeen asked for wit! ihave every opportunity to establish any connection that\ncan be established between my bank account and tbat transaction or any other\ntransaction that may be brought forward in a similar way. But I do say\nthat I do not think it would be right or\nwise or that it would tend to the dignity of parliament, .to the standing of\npublic life or to the good of the country that because a thug or a blackmailer\nshould make a statement in regard to a\nman's private bank account thereupon\ntbe authority of parliament should be\ninvoked to expose that bank account to\nthe public no matter what the consequence might be to the man Involved or\nno matter what might be affected by It.\n\"It is true I am in public life, and I\ncannot disassociate my personality from\nmy position but at the Bame time I have\na responsibility to the public In regard\nto my public position that I have not in\nregard to my private transactions.

It was an effort to\nstab a political opponent in the back.\nNeither did be think that the article\nin the Toronto World was actionable.\nIt was made upon Innuendo and insinuation. The effect of these articles was\nto leave the minister 'Without redress\noutside of the house and the only course\nleft to him was to demand a party inquiry.\nSir Allen said that no member of the\nhouse would care to have an enquiry\nmade into his private affairs and have\nthem exposed to public view. The evidence submitted did not constitute any\njustification to pry into Mr. Oliver's\nprivate affairs.\nSir Allen stated that the alleged reproduction of the ledger of the Imperial\nbank was not genuine. Some one bad\nendeavored to make a oopy of the ledger\naccount and bad failed to copy it correctly. He laid stress on the fact that\nthe account in question was a trust account. This circumstance he said very\ngreatly increased the difficulties of Mr.\nOliver. As to the claim by Mr. Oliver\nthat the placing of two statements side\nhy eide in the Toronto World constituted an insinuation. Sir Allen said that\nthis was the way In which the average\nman would look at it.\nDr. Sproule asked the minister of justice if any definite charge had been\nmade by the prime minister by his reading of the article in the Toronto Telegram.\nSir Allen replied that nothing but a\ngeneral charge had been made that this\nman was a grafter and a boodler and\nunworthy of a position in -the cabinet.\nGus. Porter, West Hastings, suggested tbat it was no answer for Mr. Oliver\nto make that the man who called him a\ngrafter and a boodler was a blackmailer.\nS. MIddleboro, North Gray asked Sir\nWilfrid Laurier to say whether or not\nthe committee would -have full power\nto investigate the evidence of McGllllcuddy, but the premier did not reply.\nJ. D. Taylor said McGilttcuddy was\nreported to have stated In Ottawa that\n$19,350 bad been paid to Mr. Oliver In\nconnection with a transaction in his\nconstituency of New Westminster.\nMr. Oliver stated that he would ask\nthe premier, who was not in the house\nat the time to have that matter included in tho investigation. 'On the\npremier's return Mr. Taylor put the\nquestion to him. Sir Wilfrid said that\nhe had never heard of the matter before.\nMr. Taylor declared that the photographs showed that $19T,360 was sent\nfrom Ottawa, and not from the Manhattan bank, that the date was nine months\nafter the election and that the money\nwas not checked out in connection with\nthe election.\nOn a vote being taken, there voted for\nthe premier's motion 102 and for Mr.\nBorden's amendment 69, a government\nmajority of 33.\nRoyal Commission\nAfter recess Houghton Lennox moved\nfor -the appointment of a royal commission ln the following terms;\n\"That a royal commission do Issue\nfor the purpose of Inquiring and reporting whether two sums of $50,000 and\n$19,350 or thereabouts, alleged to bave\nbeen deposited to the credit of Hon,\nMr. Oliver, minister of tbe interior in a\nbank at Edmonton on or about Oct. 9,\n1907 and in tbe month of September,\n1909 were received or obtained by the\nsaid minister In such manner, under\nsuch circumstances or from. such\nsources as would render said minister's acceptance thereof prejudicial to\nthe public interest,\"\nKootenay Lake Frontage\nWe have a fine subdivision opposite Ainsworth on the main lake,\noffered at prices which cannot fall to attract ranging from\n$12.50 to $85 per Acre\nOne Quarter Cash, Balance Three Years\nWater rights go with land.

Tiie narrative thus read or told is one of the most\nstriking and most effective stories of\nthe world, even regarded aB a story.\nIt records the ups and downs of interesting persons and appeals thus to what\nStevenson calls the aleatory instincts\nof mankind.\nIt Is well known that servant girls\nare especially pleased to read tbe dime\nnovel which tells of the rise In fortune\nof one of their own clasB, who marries\na marquis or a millionaire, according to\nthe locale of the story. So, too, we all\ncare to read the rise ln fortunes of a\ndeserving young man who becomes the\nright hand of a great merchant or a\nprince.\nA similar Interest attaches to the\ncareers of Esther and Mordecal In the\nnarrative of the Meglllah, of which we\ncan never get tired. The book of Esther\nhas, of course, another interest for us.\nIt records a crisis ln the career of the\nJewish people, and tells how. this was\naverted by the Belf-sacriflce of the Jewish maiden raised to the dignity of\nqueen, and of her relative wbo became\nvizier or its equivalent.\nTimes have so far changed that great\nevents of this kind are not likely to be\ninfluenced so closely by single personalities, but Jews at least have always\nlooked forward to some such helper as\nMordecal.

For years they have\nbeen waging a hopeless campaign designed to give young Israelites the right\nto wear the kaiser's uniform as army\nofficers. Periodically, the Question\ncrops up In parliament, and tbe minister\nof war, with his hand on his heart, regularly deprecates the prevalence of a\nbelief that Jews do not enjoy equal\nrights ln the army with their Christian\nbrethren.\nThe present war minister, General\nvon Heeringen, recently spoke with unaccustomed plainness. He said that\nthere could be no thought of tampering\nwith \"that freest of our institutions'\"\nthe right of regimental officers ln the\nPrussian army to choose their own\ncomrades by election. This means, of\ncourse, that there will be no Jewish\narmy officers in Prussia, for the corps\nof officers ls Incorrigibly saturated\nwith anti-semltism. It has even been\nsaid that the kaiser has sought In vain\nto bring about a modification of his\nofficers' attitude toward Jews. His\nmajesty himself has no antipathy to the\nrace. Men like Herman Ballin, Rathe-\nnau, Simon and Koppel enjoy his friendship, favor and confidence, but their\nsons are hopelessly blacklisted as far\nas army honors are concerned.\n'     FIFTY  FEDERALS KILLED\nPRESTIO, Texas, May 3\u2014Fifty federal soldiers were killed yesterday in the\nbattle of El Cato between the rebel\nforces besieging the city of Ojlnaga and\nthe column of government troops under\nCol.

It not only prevents\nnegroes from moving into blocks now\ntotally inhabited by white persons, but\ndoes not allw them to have churches or\nplaces of amusement In white blocks.\nUnlike the old ordinance, it allows blocks\nin which white persons and colored persons are living to remain mixed until they\nshall became either totally inhabited by\nnegroes or while persons.\nIt will be contested in the courts by the\nnegroes. The trainers of the measure are\nconfident that it will 1m> declared constitutional!, as they say it applies to both races\nalike, although It In directed solely against\nthe negroes.

Gooding, former\ngovernor of Idaho, is president.\nIn making the foregoing announcement Frank H. McCune, traffic expert\nfor the people in the famous Spok;ine\nrate case and suits in Colorado, Nevada\nand Oregon, who has been retained by\nthe growers as commerce counsel, said\nin an interview:\n\"The case promises to be one of tbe\nmost Important petitions thus far presented to the Interstate Commerce commission, In that it practically attacks the\neast-bound schedulea of the higher interior charge aa compared to Pacific\ncoast cities aa the intermountain cases\nattacked tbe west-bound rates from the\neaBt, With the wool achedule revised\ndownward the whole fabric of east-\nbound rates is imperiled.\n- ' The total production of wool in the\nUnited Statea for 1.010 was 338,896,903\npounds, of which 70 per cent was produced in 11 of the Pacific and northwest\nand southwest states and SO per cent\nwest of the Missouri river. Practically\nall of this product finally lands in Chicago, New York, Boston or) far eastern\nwool markets and the wool growers has\nto stand the transportation coat.\n\"The wool produced in the western\ncountry is sold in the condition It ia\nsheered and is called 'wool ln the\ngrease,' by which ia meant wool from\nwhich foreign substances have not been\nremoved. The trade prefers to buy\nwool in aacks rather than in bales, aa\nthe sacked wool admits of ready inspection and grading. Western wool\nia subject to heavy shrinkage, ranging\nas high as 67 per cent in Idaho, but\non this the wool grower has to pay a\ntransportation charge, from which there\nis no return to him from the carrier or\nother source.\n\"The freight charge from all Pacific\ncoast cities to Boston ia $1.00 a hundred\npounds, but from eastern Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada,\nWyoming and other states in the same\nparallel, hundreds of miles nearer Boston, the rate is $2.13 a hundred pounds,\nTired, Run Down People\nA North Carolina Man Suggests a\nRemedy\n-m\nGreensboro, N, C.-\"For a long time 1\nwas so run down and debilitated that I\ncould hardly drag around. My appetite\nwas poor and I could not sleep nights. I\nbad tried different so-called tonics without\nbenefit. I was advised to try your cod\nliver and iron tonic, Vlnol, and I am so\nglad I did, for It gave me a hearty appetite, I i-ioon commenced to sleep soundly\nand I feel strong, well and more active\nthan I have for years. Every run-down or\ndebilltnt<-d person should just give Vinol\na trial.\" K. Allsbrook. (We guarantee\nthis  testimonial to he genuine.)\nWhat Vlnol did for Mr. Allsbrook it will\ndo for every weak, run-down or debilitated\nperson ln this vicinity. To show our faith\nwe furnish the medicine free if it does not\ndo as we claim. Come in and get a bottle\non these terms. W. Itutherford, Druggist,\nNelson,\nor $1.13 higher than from1 coast points.\nThe cost to the wool grower to get a\npound of pure wool to the Boston market from the western territory is G.39\ncents a pound, while the railroads will\ntransport woolen cloth from Boston to\nthe same territory for 3.75 cents a\npound. Thus, the raw product pays a\n\u2022transportation charge of nearly 100\nper cent more than the manufactured\narticle.\nApplications From Railways.\nThe railroads invariably have sought\nrelief from the amended fourth section\nof the act to regulate commerce on wool\nihipments by filing applications with\nthe Interstate Commerce commission\nto allow them to continue the higher intermediate rate charge. These applications for relief by the carriers will be\nheard at the same time as the proceeding for a reduction in rates as filed\nby wool growers,\n\"The railroads appear to have a sort\nof a superstitious reverence for the\nclassification they have placed on wool\nand because of this they are prepared to\nwage battle to prevent any change in\nclassification, fearing that Bhould wool\nbe reclassified it would open the subject\nfor a general reclaasificatiou of the\nthousands of other arlicleB enumerated\nIn the railroad classifications, wool\nbeing considered tbe 'keynote' in the\nclassification scale.\nWater Competition.\n\"The plea of the carriers ls the old,\nold cry of water competition, when the\nfact ia that no wool is grown in the\ninterior, hundreds of miles from the\ncoast. We hold, therefore, that the excessive rates charged for the transportation of this product over the rate as\nfixed at the ocean line is arbitrary and\nunlawful.\n\"The exceas rates being exacted from\nwool growers in the western country approximates J2,000,000 yearly, and this\nis the amount, for which the battle is\nbeing fought to save the American\nflock-master from ruin. As this sum ia\ndivided among many transportation\ncompanies the reduction to each carrier\nwould be aa a trifle to the enormous\nearnings which the carriers secure annually, but to the hard-pressed flock-\nmaster It means his salvation.\n'The National Wool Growers' case\nwill attract nation wide attention. Indications are there will be several hearings held by the Interstate Commerce\ncommission In different parts of the\ncountry, west and east, to gather all the\nfacts and figures available, so as to\nenable the commissioners to give proper determination to this question,\nwhich means so much to every individual of the United States because\nof the wide use of wool in the manufacture of necessary articles.\n\"With the extinction of the flock-\nmaster of the United States, especially\nin the districts under complaint, wool\nprices would soar beyond the reach of\nthe average individual. Even now the\nworld's shrinkage of sheep in the lost\n15 years is 40,000,000, while the population has increased 100,000,000 in the\nsame period. It fs clear from these\nfigures the menace that threatens the\npeople by the treatment of the carriers\nin charging the wool growers excessive\nfreight, rates that are prohibitive to the\nIndustry.\n\"The flock-irfasters of the United\nStales, particularly those in Uie country\nwest of the Missouri river, are engaged\nin a desperate battle for existence. On\nthe one hand the wool growers face a\nrevlalon downward of schedule 'K', the\nagitation of which haa already caused\na heavy slump In the price of wool of\nthis year's production, and on the other\nhand the railroads are charging excessive rates  from the western areaa of\nproduction to eastern markets. In view\nof these facta the outlook for the wool\ngrower Is not bright.\"\nGLASGOW   EXPOSITION  OPENS.\nGLASGOW, May 3.\u2014The Scottish international exhibition was formally\nopened today, to continue through the\nsummer.

It has always been\ntrue that men have become what women\nadmired in them and vice versa. Women today do not dress to please themselves, but to please men.

V. Buckley, manager o'f the\nQueen Mine, Incorporated, who wns In\nNelson on Tuesday.\n\"I am now placing men at work in\nthe sump at the bottom of the shaft,\"\nstated Mr. Buckley, 'which is 20 feet\nbelow the floor of No. 6 tunnel, nnd\nwhich Is all in ore, and they will follow the ore shoot down. From this\nextension of the shaft, at Ihe proper\ndepth, we expect to drive the sixth\nlevel.\"\nThe five levels of the Queen mine nre\nall drifts on the Queen vein, three of\nthem being above the level of Wolf\ncreek, and two below. The shaft commences at the third level. The first\nfour levels were the work of William\nWaldle, from whom the present Wisconsin company acquired tbe property.\nThe New Ore Shoot.\nOn the fifth level Mr. Buckley got\nout of tbe ore shoot that contains the\nshaft, but after a short distance tapped\nan entirely new ore shoot in February\nof laat year. Practically all subsequent development has been on thts ore\nshoot, No. 5 tunnel following it for\nhundreds of feet, passing under Wolf\ncreek and going a considerable distance\non the other side, finally leaving the\nface in ore. The width of the ore shoot\nvaried from eight to 26 feet. A certain amount of upraise work was done\nat a point near the extremity of the\ntunnel, sufficient to .prove the continuation of the ore upward, and then\nMr. Buckley started independent driving above the creek level in one of the\nold random tunnels at the base of Yellowstone mountain, to determine\nwhether the shoot extended to the surface. He found it, with the same\nvalues, and with a width of 12 to 16\nfeet.\nThe present sinking is designed to\ngive further depth on the old shoot,\nthough from existing development a\nlarge amount of ore blocked out still\nremains to be stoped trom both shoots.\nTWO TOWNSITES\nAT SHEEP CREEK\nMr. Devlin Writes Regarding Resepctivc\nLocations\u2014Has Applied for Crown\nGrant of Camp View Claim\nTo the Editor of The Daily News:\nSir\u2014t have read with a good deal of\nInterest the article in todays' issue of\nThe Daily News relating to the plans\nwhich are on foot for the starting of\na town on the Collins mineral claim to\nbe known ns Sheep Creek. The article\nsays that this claim embraces all the\nland In the vicinity that Is available for\ntownsite purposes. To this I desire to\ntake exception. As announced in the\nprevious days' paper I have plans under\nway for the location of a town at what\nIs known as Sheep creek and where is\nlocated already an hotel, a store, post-\noffice, two livery barns and other buildings. All the business that has been\ndone in the camp since the town started\nhas been done there. There are lots\nof land available .there for a townsite\nas anyone who has been over the ground\nknows. With two associates I own tbe\nclaim on which tbe present town stands\nand today I made formal application for\na crown grant which carries with it naturally the surface rights and also made\narrangements for an immediate survey\nof this property. In the usual time I\nexpect to have the surface rights and\nthere will then be nothing, and ln fact\nthere Is nothing at the present time, to\nprevent the location of a town on the\nproperty In which I am Interested. As\nfar as surface rights are concerned, I\nmight say that I am in exactly the same\nposition as are those interested in tbe\nother townsite with which your article\nthis morning dealt. I might further\npoint out that the two townsltes are\npractically adjoining being separated\nonly by a narrow strip of a fractional\nmineral claim. Incidentally I might\nsay that my associates are A. EJ. Duches-\nnay and J. 8. B. O'B-rian of Vancouver,\nowners of the Summit mine at Sheep\nCreek.\nI would like also to say In conclusion\nthat timber license No31226 does not in\nany way affect nor touch my claim as it\nhas been represented, in certain circles\nthat it does, and that No. 4 limit also\nmentioned in the same connection does\nnot exist aB it is described as being\nabove tho line of the Nelson & Fort\nSheppard land grant, and, therefore,\ncould not possibly be on Sheep creek.\nJOHN 0. DEVLIN.\nNelson, May 3, 1911.\nBRUCE WHITE  IN8PECT8\nSLOCAN   STAR PROPERTY\nLOCAL MAN VISITS\nBIG OIL DISTRICT\n,AI.   Bunker  Is  Enthusiastic Over  Mid-\ni    way Section In California\u2014Some\nWonderful Wells.\n\"It is the most wonderful oil field I\nhave ever seen,\" said Al. Bunker yesterday on his return from the Midway\ndistrict, Kern county, California, where\nhe went on behalf of a local syndicate\n;of investors to Inspect the property of\nthe Canadian Pacific Oil company of\nBritish Columbia, which is located about\nfour miles from Taft and right In the\nheart of the great oil-producing belt.\nMr. Bunker made the trip in company\nwith W. H. Welch, a representative of\nthe company. Mr. Welch was in Nelson\nabout two weeks ago and succeeded in\ninteresting a number of local business\nmen in the venture. At his request\nMr. Bunker was selected to make a trip\nof inspection to tbe property.\nThe Canadian Pacific Oil company\nwas formed a short time ago by well-\nknown Victoria and Vancouver capitalists and a considerable amount of well\ndrilling has been carried on in the section owned by tbe company In the Midway district. Said Mr. Welch yesterday:\n\"I told tbe Nelson Investors who became interested in the proposition thai\ntbe company owned a section in tbe\nMidway oil field, which is the best field\nIn California, which contains the best\noil properties in the world, and invited\nthem to send a representative to test\nthe veracity of the statement. They\nsent Mr. Bunker and be will tell you\nthat the statement I made was a conservative one.\n'It Is in the Midway field that the\nfamed Lakeview, the greatest gusher in\nCalifornia, is located. This well for\nsome months gushed forth oil at the\nrate of from 35,000 to nearly 50,000\nbarrels per day and Is now producing\nfrom 14,000 to 15,000 barrels per day.\nLast year tho Lakeview produced 14;-\n000,000 barrels.\n\"Other wells which are situated within from half a mile to two miles of the\nCanadian Pacific Oil company's property are tbe Midway Permear, the Cal-\nispell, the K. T. 0., the Santa Fe, the\nSt*. Lawrence, the Hale, tbe McLeod, the\nMammoth, which Is the latest wonder\nof the field; the Honolulu, the Mays\nNo. 2 and the California, These are all\nproducing wells and are giving forth oil\nat a rate of from 3,000 barrels to 20,-\n000 barrels, each per day.\n\"Two of the most wonderful properties In the Midway district,\" continued Mr. Welch, \"are the Buick and\nLa Belle, which are both in the near\nvicinity and in the same oil belt as the\nCanadian Pacific Oil company's section.\nFrom these two wells the oil comes out\nwith such extreme purity that lt Is purchased straight from the wells by the\nbig oil companies, without tbe usual\nwork of passing the oil through seepage\nsumps to purify it of sand. This oil is\nso pure that the automobile men can\ncome along, fill a can and use the fluid\nat once to run their machines. These\nwells are located so near and In such\na direct line with the Canadian Pacific\nOil company's property that we hope\nto obtain the same pure oil when the\nwell reaches the liquid, which we expect It to do within the next three\nweeks if not earlier.\n\"The company owns 40 acres of oil\nland at Coallnga, 'but has not yet com-\n-rnenced to develop the tract.\"\nIn expressing his high opinion of the\nproperty Mr, Bunker said: 'I spent\ntwo days at Midway examining the\nwells and went into an exhaustive study\nof the locality. I was delighted to find\nthat Mr. Welch had rather underestimated the value of the property owned\nhy Ms company. The property is not\nonly right, ln the oil producing belt ln\nwhich 233 wells are operating but it is\nso located that there is every probability that tbe oil will be of the same high\ngrade as that found in the Buick and\nLa Belle. I saw seven gushers within\na short distance of the company's prop,-\nerty and talked with a great many superintendents of wells within the belt.\nFrom them I ascertained that not only\nhas there been no Instance where a well\nhas been drilled in the belt without hitting oil but also that the value of land\nla tbat district has increased from\nabout $750 per acre during the past few\nyears to from $6,000 to $15,000 per acre.\nIt is certainly the most wonderful oil\nfield I have ever seen and I have made\ninspections of the Los Angeles, the\nCoallnga, the Maricopa, the Sunset and\nthe Kern river distrlots, which are all\nconsidered first-claBS ,oil fields. Tho\npressure of oil tn the Midway field when\nIt is struck as a result of well drilling\nla simply enormous and causes the fluid\nto gush forth In huge torrents, worth\nfrom 50 cents to'$l per barrel.\nMr. Welch has just received a telegram from tbe superintendent of the\nwell drilling operations on the property\nwhich reads as follows:\n\"Hole 2,760. Casing 2,735. Casing\nfree formation blue shale. Everything\n'going satisfactory.\"\nThe blue shale, it may be mentioned,\nis the oil-bearing formation. It is expected that the oil will be reached at a\ndepth of 3,000 feet, said Mr. Welch.\nThe drilling Is being carried on at n\nrate of about 80 feet per week.\nMr. Welch, before coming to Nfclson,\nwas successful In Interesting a number of investors in Kelowna and Revelstoke.\nBruce White came in laat night from\nSandon where he made an inspection of\nthe work that Is being carried on in\ntbe Slocan Star mine.\nMETAL MARKETS.\nNEW YORK, May 3.-Sllver, B3U'. stand\nard copper, 11.60 A 11.70: quiet.\nLONDON, May 3.\u2014Silver, M MB; lead,\n\u00a313 16s.\nBy sprinkling a goodly amount of salt\nover a carpet five or ten minutes before\n\u25a0sweeping there will be Uttle dust raised\nwhen the sweeping la -done.\nMARKETS\nWHEAT PRICES  DECLINE\nON   CHICAGO  EXCHANGE\nCHICAGO, May 3.-*Conironted by a bear\nIsh crop outlook, nnd with no cash demand\nIn sight, wheat today relaxed and under\nwent a decline.   The closing figures were\ncent, against 85.4 last month, and asserting\nthat spring seeding had reached an Increase\nof around 1,000,000 acres, Good rains In the\nwest tended to give the market a weak\nstart. Bearish feeling received a firm impulse through disappointing cables due to\nsigns of heavier shipments from Russia as\nwell as from the Argentine republic. Besides, the fact was noted that millers here\nseemed wholly Indifferent in regard to\npurchasing cash wheat. As a matter of\nfact, large shipments were reported from\nNebraska and Kansas City and add to the\nburdensome store iri Chicago. Bulls had\nlittle help today from talk of dry weather\nin the northwest, the trade generally accepting the idea that fear on such a score\nwns rather premature. However, this influence, as greatly as any other, induced\na steady tone at the close, During the\nsession July ranged from 88(4 to SS^fe, aiK]\nin the end was 8S%, a .net decline of %c.\nWINNIPEG MARKET QUIET\nWINNIPEG, May 3.\u2014The local slock\nmarket waa quiet this morning, the chief\nmatter of interest being the sale of 10\nGreat West Permanent shares at 121& The\nbooks of this company close on June 15, in\nprenaration for dividend day, and a\nIn expected In consequence.

That a\nlarge number of fatal accidents in mines\nare due to ignorance or carelessness Is\nunquestioned, ' and there are well-\nfounded hopes that the home secretary's\ncomprehensive measure will go a long\nway to reduce this- alarming mortality\nin future, to lessen the risk of accidents,\nand to improve the health of miners\ngenerally.\nIn tiie fight against death In the\nmines America Is a long way ahead\nof Britain. The\"\" United States bureau\nof mining la  doing battle with ninny\nunseen dangers in the bowels of the\nearth, but noiie of its investigations\nare so important as its courts to overcome the ignorance of the miners concerning the dangers which encompass\nthem in their daily toil. For much\nof the havoc among miners Ib due to\nlack ot knowledge of the explosive\npowers of coal dust and fire-damp, and\nto lncompentence in selecting safe explosives for the blasts. So the Americans have established free mining\nschools and travelling instruction cars\nin all the mining districts to enlighten\nthe ignorant.\nSham Explosions.\nSham mining explosions are created\nfor the instruction of miners attending\nthe schools. The apparatus provided\nfor this purpose Is a great horizontal\ntube of boiler plate, 100 feet long and\nwide enough for a man to walk through\nwithout striking his head against the\nceiling. Along the open end of the tube\nIs placed a drumhead of heavy paper,\nand and the inside is then filled with\nfire damp or coal dust,' which Is thoroughly mixed until It ls of the same consistency as ls ordinarily found in mines,\nThe drumhead keeps tbe mixture from\nescaping and at the other end of the\nbig tube is a 12 foot cube of reinforced\nconcrete holding a mortar aimed down\nthe tube and loaded with one of the explosives used in mines. A wire connects this mortar with a key* ln an observation house 60 feet away. There\nis a peep-hole along the rear of this\nhouse about, and a row of miners line\nup inside with their faces to It. Plate\nglass half an inch thick protects their\neyeB. With the pressing ot the key the\nmortar i3 fired, and the fire damp or\ncoal dust explodes with terrific report\nThere are 16 portholes along the\ncylinders, and the miners are told to\nnote by these how the blaze of the explosion progresses along the tube from\nthe mortar to  the end covered with\nOranges\n20c, 30c. 40c, 50c per dozen.\nLettuce\nRadishes\nPhone 22S\nStewart & Co.\nIf It's from stewart'i It's good.\nSuccessful Fruit Growing\nIs the natural result of an intelligent\nuse of-\nCHEMICAL FERTILIZERS!\nFor potatoes use \"B\" Brand unless\nyou have just plowed clover under, ln\nwhich case use \"C\" Brand.\nGet the Potash idea; lt pays.\nThe Brackman-Ker\nMilling Co., Ltd.\nBoys' Clothing\nHaving   just   received   a   complete\nrange of boy's suits we are now in a\nposition to satisfactorily clothe Uttle\nJ.

The explosion\nblows the paper out and also 10 hinged\ndoors which cover the portholes. These\ndoors and the drumhead save the entire\nplant from being wrecked by the explosion. This test gives the miners\ntheir first demonstration of the fact\nthat coal dust Is highly explosive, and\nteaches them much ot the exploslveneBS\nof fire damp. At the same time the apparatus demonstrates the comparative\nsafety of different explosives purposely\nused as blasts. Charges ot dynamite,\nblack powder, and various \"safety\" explosives are fired off from the mortar\nin the presence of coal dust and fire\ndamp for miners to watch their comparative effects, and learn the strength\nof the charge of each tbat can be used\nwithout danger from the explosion. It\nis the aim of the American bureau of\nmines to standardize explosives, and\nit hopes In time to have only those used\nallover the country which these tests\nprove are comparative safe. Similar\ndemonstrations are given to show that\nsome of the safe explosives are also\nthe most powerful.\nBlown Up By Sparkes.\nA gallery 30 feet long tand 109 feet\nin diameter is used to show how a\nmine may be blown up by sparks from\ndefective wiring In the mines. The\ngas and dust pumped into this tube\nare fired by a simple, electric spark\nflashing betwen the two ends of wire.\nAs many explosions are. due to defective 'safety lamps,\" simple methods\nof testing form part of the course of\nconstruction.\nAccidents will happen notwithstanding all efforts to prevent them, and so\nminers are taught In a mimic coal\nmine what to do in dread times of a\nfire and, explosion. There la a large\nglass-encased airtight room, which contains different passages, such as are\nfound in disrupted, coal mines. Dummies representing asphyxiated miners\nare provided. This room is actually\nfilled with sulphur gas, and the rescue\ncorps of men, who are long trained to\nthe work, enter daily, wearing oxygen\nhelmets, and remain two hours removing obstructions, picking up dummies,\ngiving them emergency treatment, placing them on stretchers and carrying\nthem away. In this way the miners are\nmade thoroughly acquainted with the\nuse ot the helmets. In the perfect\nmechanism of the helmet science and\nInvention have come to the rescue ot\nthe men who toil underground.\nIt is, perhaps, too much to hope that\nmeasures such as these described will\nHosiery\nCheapest in the city\nThe Ark\n606 Vernon St. Phone A395\nNew and second hand furniture.\nOpen   Tuesday   and   Thursday\nevenings from 7 to 8 o'clook.\nThe Store of Quality\nNew Goods\nMontserrat Lime Juice, 75c. and\n40c'.\nWelch's Grape Juice 75c. and 40c.\nHothouse Lettuce, 40c. per Ib.\nRipe Tomatoes, 25c. per lb.\nElephant .Oranges, large, and\njuicy, 50c, dozen.\nChoice Lemons, 30c. dozen.\nBananas, nice, 45c. dozen.\nFresh Cucumbers, 35c. each.\nOur Own Blend Imperial Tea, a\nfresh shipment, 35c. lb., 3 lbs. for\n$t   Try it.\nOnion Sets, per lb. 20c.\nA.
