She will succeed\nIn driving an extremely hard bargain\nwith the members of the triple entente.\nTbat she will secure immensely valuable territory advantages, possibly not\nall of them ln Africa, Is regarded ln\nBerlin as a moral certainty. Her\nchances of' an African naval base are\nthe. subject of much Interesting speculation.\nBrilliant Monarch.\nWilliam II, the most brilliant monarch in Europe since Napoleon, is playing the greatest game the last 80 years\nhave witnessed and cool-headed Britons\nand Frenchmen concede that he Is\nbound to score heavily la the matter of\n\"compensation.\"\nTwo of the controlling considerations\nln the present activity of the German\nforeign office, according to the suggestive theory of a London publicist in\nclose touch with Sir Frederick Pollock,\nhave an American end. First comes\nthe desire of the emperor and his advisors to find somewhere a sure future\narena for Germany's expanding commerce and colonizing enterprise. Ten\nor 15 years ago the kaiser believed lt\ncould be found,In South America, but\nthe revised Monroe doctrine smashed\nthe idea. What was lost in Brazil Is\nsought ln Africa. The pressure of the\nfinancial Interests on the Berlin foreign\noffice continues and President Taft's\narbitration propaganda provides the\nother factor influencing the kaiser to\nget a \"pied a terre\" in Africa at almost any cost forthwith. The German\nsovereign perceives that If she is ever\nsubmit to arbitration with an European\npower possession will be nine 'points in\nthe case.\nAcute  Diplomacy.\nM. De Selves, French foreign minister, is conducting the vitally Important\ndispute between France and Germany\nwith a resourcefulness and coolness\nvastly surprising to all the chancelleries, not one of whom had ever\nheard of him when he sprang into the\nlimelight on the recent formation of\nthe Caillaux cabinet It Is everywhere\nrecognized that he is not likely to fall\ninto the errors of Delcasse, the chief of\nwhloh was, sb a Paris dispatch puts it,\n\"an excess of candor almost American.\"\nThere is an impression, however, that\nthe trail followed by the Quay D'Orsay\nis the one passed years ago by Delcasse when demanding tbat his clo-\nleagues stake all, even war, on the issue ultimately referred to the nations\nat Algeciras and settled there temporarily.\nAlthough ln the background, Delcasse\nhas a voice ln the Callaux ministry\nmore potent In foreign affairs than an;\nother member save the premier and\nhot the lest significant feature of the\ncase 1b the hint thrown out by the German press that \"the original Delcasse\nprinciples, minus the Delcasse manners, may yet build a golden bridge.\"\nLloyd George's Dismissal.\nA special dispatch from Paris, re-\ncevied here today but not taken seriously, says that Germany demanded \"the\ndismissal of Chancellor of the Exchequer of Lloyd eorge after his speech\nlast week at the banquet of tne Lord\nMayor. The BritiBh government, so it\nwas reported in Paris, advised Germany tbat the opinion expressed by\nLloyd George was the view of the government. The incident Is likened to\nthe one which resulted in the dismissal\nof Delcasse of France, upon the com*\nplaint of Germany during the Moroccan disturbance six years ago\/ The dispatch gives no authority for the statement.\nCrisis Is Abating.\nLONDON, July 30.\u2014The Moroccan\ncrisis is practically ended. At least\nthis la the opinion of the British public, although the foreign office is careful to point out that the negotiations\nare not simple and may drag on tor\nmonths. While greatly relieved at the\nImprovement in the situation, even serious-minded Britons, In discussing the\n. crisis, Invariably express the opinion\nthat if war with Germany Is to come at\nall lt would be far better Cor England\nlf it should come now than later, when\nthe German navy will have been\nstrengthened, and also that England\nwould be better to come to blows with\nGermany over Morocco, or aome que*-\nFIRST\nR.

On Friday\nnight there was every Indication thut\nthe house would continue in session for\nseveral days, but al change came on\nSaturday morning. When the cabinet reassembled at 10 o'clock a report was\ngiven out that they would likely sit all\nday discussing their program, but shortly before 1 o'clock there was a rumor\nthat everything was over and that the\ndie had been cast. Press correspondents gathered around tbe Premier's office and they waited.until 1:30. Then\nout came the ministers, headed by Sir\nWilfrid. The correspondents lined up\nand Sir Wilfrid with bis usual sunny\nsmile said: \"Well, {gentlemen, what\nnewB have you got to give me today?\"\nThe correspondents chorused ln reply:\n\"We are looking to you for Information.\" nd the Premier said, \"You had\nbetter ask Mr. Fielding.\"\nSeptember Twenty-First.\nThose who know Mr. Fielding as well\nas Ottawa correspondents do took this\nas an Indication that there was nothing\ndoing, but they were mistaken. \"Gentlemen,\" he said, \"%\u25a0 parliament of\nCanada has been prorogued and dissolved and elections will be held on\nSeptember 21st\"\nTbat was all, but it was sufficient.\nIt was characteristic or tne xi-emler\nthat he let the announcement be made\nby the man who is primarily responsible for the election. Immediately after\nthe decision of the cabinet was reached\nthe full machinery of government in\nelectoral matters was put to work. Official gazettes containing the proclamation will not be out till Monday morning. Parliament is dissolved from Saturday. It stands prorogued till October\n11. That does not necessarily mean\nthat It will reassemble on that day. It\nIs more likely to be a week or perhaps\ntwo weeks later, but it Is claimed that\nIt is the intention of the government\nif returned to power to resume business\nJust as soon as possible.\nDuke's Arrival.\nThe only difficulty is that the Duke of\nConnaught is scheduled to arrive at\nQuebec on October 12, and while it\nwould be possible for parliament to\nmeet on the 11th and the commons to\nbe Bent back to elect a speaker, it is\nhardly likely that things would be done\nso closely. What is more likely is tbat\nthe new parliament will meet on October 18 and that the formal opening will\nbe on the 19th, but it may be that these\ndates will be extended by a week.\nReturns From Coronation.\nProbably the most surprised men\nwere the members who came back from\nthe coronation on Saturday.

The reservoir was only saved after two hours\nunceasing activity on the part of the\nfire brigade the efforts of which were\nalmost entirely concentrated on the\nsurrounding property as the intense\nheat from the actual scene of the blaze\nprevented the firemen getting near it\nuntil the lumber piles were in smouldering ruins.\nTho entire plant which was owned\nby Seattle capitalists was only insured\nfor $22,000. For years past the mill\ndistrict, situated ln the heart of the\ncity, has been the centre of the danger\nzone, and the rapidity of this morning's\nfire in its destructive work indicates\nthe menace which an uncontrolled conflagration In tliis section would effect.\nMAKE EIGHTEEN\nMILES AN HOUR\nL.

C, July 30.\u2014The situation regarding the strike remains very\nquieS, but that there is a strong undercurrent running toward a favorable\nvote as the result of Friday's election\nupon the question of accepting1 tbe\nfindings of the majority report of the\nconciliation board, seems to be conceded by many who profess to be in\nclose touch with the mining communities. It seems to be tbe consensus of\nopinion that the foreign element are\nlargely in favor of accepting the terms\nas recommended and going back to\nwork. It is Impossible to judge of\nother localities in the district, where\nthe proposed scale may affect the\nminers to a greater extent, and it will\ntake the official result to determine the\nmatter definitely. If Friday's vote results favorably to a resumption of work\nit will not take long to put the mines\nin working condition again, and the\nthreatened fuel famine may yet be\naverted before much suffering may result from the long shut down throughout the district.\nSEVEN THOUSAND HARVESTERS\nNEEDED  IN  ALBERTA\nEDMONTON, Alb., July 30.\u2014According to the reports sent In to the department of agriculture of the Alberta government, the farmers of this province\nneed 7,210 men to help them gather the\nharvest.

Mr. Johnson set up his wall\non Fourth of July, the anniversary ot\nhis artistic triumph at Reno, where he\nburled his brunet first so deeply In Mr.\nJeffries' rathskeller that the Los Angeles citizen still wears a tlnplateover\nthe bole to keep out the draught. On\nthe day when every eagle in the world\nwas screaming for the United States\nMr. Johnson wished to be recorded ln\nthe negative, which proves that eagles\nand blackbirds have nothing ln common.\nMr. Johnson says that it ever the\ntime comes when America needs\nmen to fight for her he will not be at\nhome when'his country calls. He says\nthat he will never shoulder a musket\nfor America, a fact which will undoubtedly cause the war department;\nto place a few more orders for battle*\nships. He says he will willingly go to\nthe front for England, but lf he travels\nat the rate of speed that he did In\nthis country he will be ln the enemy's\ncamp before the first shot Is fired. All\nthrough his talk it le plain to see that\nhis sojourn ln a California jail, where\nhe was Inserted for using but one\nwheel of his automobile, did not make\nhim any stronger for the Stars and\nStripes, especially the stripes.\n\"England Is treating me just dandy,\"\nsaid the black pugilist. \"Oh, but it's\ngrand. I would fight for England if\nshe wanted me to, and glad to.\"\n\"And when are you going back to\nAmerica?\" asked the reporter.\nMight as well brace yourself for one\nof those awful shocks. Here lt comes:\nhold fast, everybody!\n\"Not until I'm forced to, and then\nI'm coming back as quickly as I can.\nIt Is sure one fine country, England.\"\n* \"How did you celebrate your anniversary?\"\n\"Very quietly,\" answered Johnson,\ncovering the \"rock\" on bis chest with\nhalf a cantaloupe to shut off the heat\n\"My wife cooked me the same dinner\nas she did before the fight. We had\nsome friends and. ducks, and chickens,\nand other chickens, and melons and\nthings. I never celebrate for America.\nWhat has America done for me? Has\nit ever given me a square deal? Did it\ngive me a shout when I won? Not\non your life. Say, son, I've given up\nthinking about America.\"\nThat's gratitude from a man who has\nbeen' shouted at by every traffic policeman between the two oceans and\nentertained at many of the leading\ncourthouses along the route!\n\"But you would help America out it\nnecessity arose?\" persisted the reporter, gloating over the fact that he\nhad brought ln a new member for King\nGeorge.\n\"You mean would I fight for America? Well, you were wrong, for there\nwould be nothing doing then. No, sir.\nI mean it when I say that I would\nnever shoulder a musket for America.\"\n8PORTINQ SPOTLIGHTS\nPresident Taylor of the Boston Red\nSox Is trying hard to land Tex Jones,\nnow with St Joseph in the Western\nleague.

He says the pres*\nent style of grip is wrong according\nto the Vaile theory, but he states that\nwhen the English players return to\nthe solid methods of years ago they\nwill win again. In part he says:\n\"There can be no doubt that the success of the Australians with their\ndashing modern methods and natural\nstroke has sounded the death knell of\nwhat Is commonly called the English\nschool of lawn tennis, but the plain,\nunvarnished fact is tbat the methods\nof the present English school are not\nthe English game at all.

Explorers will' visit the sands\nof Africa and the bleekness of the\nArctic circle and return to normal\nenvironments even improved in physical condition.\nMan inhabits about every part of\nthe earth except a few inland regions\nin the Interior of continents and immediate vicinity of the poles, It is\nfrom dread of climatic conditions\nthat his tent has found no more than\na temperory resting place in some of\nthese far distant spots. It is not\nthought that the heat or cold ot any\nof the unexplored regions of the globe\nbas a greater range of temperature\nthan many regions now inhabited.\nScience reasons that thje lowest\ntemperatures at the earth's surface\nare not found directly at the poles\nbut at some distance to the south of\nthe north pole and to the north of the\nsouth pole. Likewise the greatest\ndegree of heat Is not, as might be supposed to be found at the equator,\nbut prevails at some distance to the\nnorth and to the south of that Imaginary line.\nThe coldest place on the earth's\nsurface of which there is authentic\nrecord, is tn Siberia. The lowest temperature ever recorded in the open\nair was 90 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit) at Werchajansk. Central Siberia, on January 15, 1885.\nThe highest temperature ot which\nthere is an authenticated record is\n124 degrees above zero (Fahrenheit)\nin Algeria, Northern Africa, on July\n17, 1870. These places of extreme\nheat and extreme cold give a range\nof temperature covering the whole\nInhabitable world of 214 degrees, or\ntwo degrees more than from zero to\ntbe boiling point.\nIn the United States the lowest\ntemperature ever recorded In winter\nis 64 degrees below zero in North\nDakota, and the highest ever recorded in summer Is 115 degrees above\nzero in Arizona. This gives a total\nrange of 179 degrees within about\n1,000 miles.\nThere is an unauthentlcated\nport from Aumale, an outpost of the\nAlgerian bad lands whloh gives a\ntemperature record in the open air\nof 172 degrees above zero (Fahrenheit). This, If correct, exceeds by\n48 degrees that of the highest on record. It Is also stated that the temperature at this place rarely gets\ndown to 140 degrees. On one or two\noccasions lt dropped to 120 degree!\nand the natives shivered with the\ncold. Strange as It may seem, the\ndeath rate of French soldiers stationed at this post li lower than that at\nmore northerly places having equable\ntemperatures.\nPeople who Inhabit these places of\nextreme beat and cold are found to\nbe exceptionally healthy and live to\na ripe old age.\nWhite men In all parts of the world\nmake their homes in these exceptionally hot or cold places and move\nfrom one to the other without any\napparent physical discomfort, lt Ib\nfound that animals or plants which\nwould flourish In one could not survive In the other.\nIn the United States the extreme\nrange ot heat and cold It not io great\nbut one   may    live   In comparative\ncomfort in any section; yet the same\nconditions apply to animals and plant\nlife as prevails throughout the rest of\nthe world; animals and plants that\nsurvive the winters of the south\ncould not endure the winters of the\nnorth.\nThe greatest of the extremes of\nheat and cold in this country are\nfound In the western states, from tbe\nDakotas and Montana southward to\nTexas and Arizona.

The government bas\ndissolved parliament and will appeal at\nonce to the people on the question of\nreciprocity without waiting for redistribution. This is little short of criminal to the interests of the west. It is\nwell known that the result of redistribution will be to increase the representation of the four western provinces. This applies particularly to\nManitoba and British Columbia, for\nthere has been no change in the representation of these two provinces since\ntbe last census taken ten years ago.\nIn the meantime the population of both\nprovinces has been growing by leaps\nand bounds. It Is only fair to say that\nthe population of Alberta and Saskatchewan has also grown rapidly during\nthe same time, but both these provinces had their representation rearranged five years ago, so that the injustice of the government's action in\nrefusing redistribution does not apply\nto them to the same extent as it does\nin Manitoba and British Columbia.\nThere is, however, no use worrying\nover what might or what should have\nbeen. The election is on and the old\nbasis of representation is to apply. It\nonly remains for British Columbia to\nmake her declaration against reciprocity as emphatic as possible and the\nway to do this is to return a solid phalanx of Conservative members on election day.

SINCE  1896.\nIn view of the fact that an election\nis announced it is Interesting to review\nthe result of the last contest, that of\nOctober 26, 1908, just a little less than\nthree years ago. The result on that\noccasion was the return of 133 (Liberals, 85 Conservatives and three Inde\npendents. Three provinces, Ontario,\nManitoba and British Columbia, returned a majority of opposition members, while six, Nova Scotia, New\nBrunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan and Alberta, elected\na majority of government supporters.\nTbe returns by provinces was as follows:\nLib. Con.\nOntario   36     48\nQuebec   53     11\nNew Brunswick  11      2\nNova Scotia   12       6\nPrince Edward Island    3      l\nManitoba       2       8\nBritish Columbia     2       5\nSaskatchewan     9       1\nAlberta      4       3\nYukon      1       0\n133     85\nIn addition to these figures there\nwere, the three Independents already referred to, of whom two came from On-\ntario and one from Quebec. The two\nformer are supporting the opposition\non the question of reciprocity and have\ndono so generally on other Issues during the parliament just dissolved. The\nQuebec Independent was elected as a\nlabor man but bas consistently supported the government.\nAn analysis of the popular vote is interesting. -The official blue book containing the election returns Issued by\nthe government shows that the government supporters polled 5S7.064 votes,\nwhile the Conservative figure was 5G3,-\n547, and that of the Independents 24,-\n, giving a total of 588,440 votes\nagainst the Liberal candidates. It will\nthus be seen that although the government secured a clear majority of 45\nmembers over all, it was really in a\nminority of 776 votes so lar as the\npopular verdict was concerned. In\nconnection with tnese figures it may be\nmentioned that three constituencies\nwent by acclamation and that tnese are\nnot taken into consideration in reckoning the popular vote. In two of\nthese, Rouville, Quebec, and Comox-\nAtlin, B. C, government supporters\nwere thus elected, while in the third\nan Independent got the seat. A point\nwhich may interest some is the fact\nthat the government secured _a majority of 28,759, or more than Its total majority, in the province of Quebec. In\nother words the government was in a\nminority of several thousand votes outside Quebec. It may be pointed out\nalso tbat of its total majority of 48 over\nthe straight Conservatives, the government secured no less than 42 from tbe\nprovince of Quebec, The Daily News\nbas no fault to find either with the government or the people of Quebec on\nthis account, but is merely pointing out\ntbe situation as it exists.\nIn the election the date of which has\njust been announced there will be the\none big iBsue, that of reciprocity, while\nin that of three yearB ago there were\na variety of issues. Just how tbe majority of the people of Canada view this\nquestion the polls will show, but The\nDally News has enough faith in sober\ncommon sense of the people of Canada\nto believe that the result of the election will be a declaration against reciprocity and all that it Implies. It Ib\nfurther strengthened in this belief by\na survey of the figures presented above,\ncoupled witli what the government apparently considers will be the political\neffect of Its policy In regard to reciprocity.\nThere are two parts of Canada where\ngovernment supporters' take it for\ngranted that reciprocity will prove popular. These are the prairies and the\nmaritime provinces. A glance at the\nfigures given above will show that the\ngovernment cannot hope to wln*many,\nif any, seats tn either of these sections,\neven granted its policy ts as popular\nthere as some claim It is. Manitoba,\nfor example, will not give any sweeping declaration.in favor of reciprocity,\nand in fact is more than likely to record her votes the other way around.\nIn the two provinces of Alberta and\nSaskatchewan there are at present buf\nfour Conservative members, all of\nwhom are personally strong men and\nail of whom are more than likely to be\nre-elected, and it would not be at all\nsurprising to The Daily News to see\ntheir number added to when the votes\nhave been counted. In the maritime\nprovinces the government at present\nhas i;6 supporters as against nine opposition members. The opposition, notwithstanding tbe government's view regarding feeling in theBe provinces, expects to make gains instead ot losses\nthere. In any case lt is hard to see\nhow the result in the prairie and in the\nmaritime provinces will place the government In any better position In these\nsections than lt is at present.\nThe result of the election will, therefore, turn upon Ontario and Quebec, for\nBritish Columbia can be relied upon to\ngive an emphatic declaration against\nreciprocity. There is every reason why\nOntario should declare strongly against\nreciprocity. In the first place, it would\nadversely affect many interests there,\nincluding that of the fruit growers,\nwhile in the next it will be opposed on\nnational and imperial grounds. So far\nas Quebec is concerned, reciprocity offers the people of that province little or\nnothing, and Is being bitterly opposed\nla many sections. In addition to tills,\nthe government will have to face the\ngrowing strength of the nationalists, so\nthat the support from that province,\nwhich has practically kept Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier in office, is likely to be materially weakened. If the declaration\nfrom Ontario against reciprocity is as\nemphatic as it is expected it will be\nand there is any weakening whatever in\nSir Wilfrid's Quebec support, the result\nwill be a decisive defeat for the government.\nWhether or not this takes place, the\nfact remains that the present contest\naffords the opposition the first real\nchance of success It has bad since the\ndefeat of the last Conservative government In 1896, just a little over 15\nyears ago. A good deal will depend\nupon the manner in which tbe opposition takes advantage of its opportunity,\nbut Mr. R.L. Borden has demonstrated,\nparticularly within tbe past few\nmonths, that he possesses the qualities\nnecessary to successful leadership in a\nfight such aB is now on, while his fitness for the position of head of the government is adnlltted even by bis bitterest opponents.\nLondon Directory\n(Published Annually)\nEnables traders throughout the world\nto communicate direct with English\nManufacturers and Dealers\nln each class ot goods.

C., July 30.\u2014Considerable activity Is In evidence ln the tele*\ngraph pole business during the past\nweek. There are prospects of no fewer\nthan four firms keenly competing in\nthis commodity with yard's ln or near\nNakusp, and locations along the foreshore and railway sites are apparently\nat a premium. Such competition and\nIncreased industries Ib evidence of the\nunique position Nakusp holds among\nthe huge forest resources of the province. Its cedars are especially noted\nfor their adaptability for long poles required In the construction of telegraph,\ntelephone and electric light lines all\nover the continent, and the introduction of the Nakusp article from Alberta\nto Quebec and Pennsylvania has made\nit quite famous. So great has been\nthe demand that the Llndsley Bros.\ncompany's yards, both here and at\nSummit lake, have practically become\nempty, and contracts are being entered\ninto to provide an Immense stock during the coming winter. The Western\nPole and Lumber company of Spokane\nare entering the field and are this week\nmaking shipments to Toronto. A Rosb-\nland firm has Its representative on tbe\nground trying to locate a Bite to enter\nheavily Into tbe business, and will\nmake Its headquarters here. P. J.\nGallagher of Nelson has already secured his site alongside that of Llndsley Bros, and will become heavily Interested, while E. R. Vlpond, an old\ntime lumberman, is stocking bis pro*\nduct in a frontage adjoining. Mr. Vlpond Is now Installing a gasoline engine for cutting ties for the C.P.R. on\nthis ground. Generally, It looks as If\nsome lively times may be expected ln\nthis forest industry, the only detriment\nnow apparently is the insufficiency of\nground available to carry on the business.\nThe Quebec Lumber company have\nbad a busy, cutting season, their yards\nbeing full of lumber undergoing the\nprocess of drying. This company anticipates the manufacturing of fruit\nboxes In . time for next year's shipments.\nThe shipments ot strawberries this\nyear has been tbe heaviest in tne history not only of the town, but of the\nwhole of the Arrow lakes. Almost\" without exception Calgary has been the\nwholesale market for this district, the\nberries generally reaching their destination in good shape and realizing good\nand satisfactory prices, notwithstanding tbe unprecedented .wet weather\nduring the beBt of the season. Indeed,\nso pleased are the majority of the\ngrowers with results that many of\nthem will increase the area'of the beds\nfor next year's \u25a0- shipments. Of great\nhelp to the fruit farmer this rear has\nbeen the unlimited market'ai gratifying prices for berries, over ripe for\ntable consumption on the prairies, at\ntbe jam factories at Nelson. .Thus a\nmarket has been provided for AU quali\nties and stages of picking. This Innovation has had tne effect of opening\nthe eyes of both growers and business\nmen to the necessity of a similar\nfactory at Nakusp, and a movement is\nspoken of with a view ot procuring\nsuch an institution, possibly In time for\nnext year's business. Nakusp, without\nquestion, is ideally situated for just\nsuch an Industry, which could take\ncare of the product of the whole of the\nArrow lakes, the berries being picked\nln the morning and reaching the factory before noon the same day, thus\nsaving a full 24 hours over shipping to\nNelson.\nThe new wharf constructed during\nthe summer by the C.P.R. has just been\ncompleted and Ib known to be tbe longest structure of Its kind on inland\nwaters of tbe province, being 1,025 feet\nlong. It Is 250 feet longer than the old\none and some few feet wider. The\nrailway track also varies, being now on\na lower level, enabling freight to be\ntransferred without lifting. In addition,\nthe dockage for steamers haB been\nwidened by carrying the wharf in a\nmore northerly direction, providing\nroom for two more steamers alongside\neach other of the dimensions of the\nlatest type, the Bonnlngton.\nThe railway company Is now building a movable freight shed similar to\nthe one at Nelson and it will be in\nservice in a few days. Other additions\ncontemplated are renewal of the transfer Blip and the erection of a cement\npowder house to take care of stumping\nexplosives in transit for the lower\nlakes. This will be located outside the\ntown limits near the Y, and is urgently\nnecessary.\nBoat Building.\nMike Yingllng of Arrow Park is starting a boat and launch building business\nat Georgia Bay, just south of the town,\non Aug. 1. He was' in town this week\nand leased a building suitable for the\npurpose. He hopes to have sufficient\nnumber of lake,craft ready by spring\nto supply tbe demand of the lakes.\nHitherto all pleasure boats and gasoline launches bave been imported.\nGreen Bros. & Burden, the surveyors,\nhave had a gang of men in town for\nBorne time, subdividing the Henry estate into town lots and small acreage,\nadjoining the present townsite. This\nis considered valuable. property, being\nlocated at the junction of two trunk\nroads entering the town from both\nriver points and the cross mountain\nroad from New Denver. Mr. Henry\nhas a standing offer of $20,000 for this\nproperty, which be has; refused. The\nsame firm were engaged ln reBtaking\nthe original town lots for the C.P.R.\nIt Ib anticipated that a lively movement\nwill take place in real estate quarters\nand prices of property bave advanced,\nBuilding operations are continuing active in town. On Slocan avenue W. J.\nWilliams and E. Lodge are putting up\nresidences. On Bay Btreet L. F. McDougald is adding an attractive front\nto his stores opposite the station, with\nfine display windows. On Marine Drive\nMr. Rotbwell has just completed his\nstone residence and it presents a fine\nappearance from the lake and town.\nOn the same thoroughfare Mr. Fouchler\nhaB put the finishing touches to his\npretty bungalow, \"while Messrs. Hamb-\nling and Poole bave made additions to\ntbe houses owned by them. In addition,\nAlex Giraud Is erecting a residence on\n.Grace avenue.\nMessrs. Rothweli and Gebm bave bad\na large boat, house built and towed to\nits mooring place on Georgia bay.\nTo have seen tbe crowd of bathers\non the wharf and beach at Nakusp this\nweek would remind one of a visit to\nno less a fashionable resort than Brighton or English bay. Every afternoon\na gay crowd may be found dlsporlng\nthemselves In the lukewarm water of\nthe lake, all having a glorious time.\nForest fires of considerable dimensions have started five north of the\ntown, also up the Kuskanux creek.\nGangs of men were promptly despatched to both points, the former being\nunder control, but the men have returned from the latter, considering that\nno great danger will be effected. On\nThursday a Burton City rancher was\nbrought up to the police court before\nStipendiary Magistrate Gordon of\nRevelstoke, who came down for the\npurpose, and fined the minimum\namount of |60 for starting a fire in\ncontravention of the fire regulations.\nMr. Gillan ot Revelstoke prosecuted on\nbehalf of the government. It Is stated\non good authority that so far during\nthe present year the cost to the government of fighting fires ln this district, other than wardens' salaries, Is\nonly $450 as against $15,000 last year.\nThis speaks well ot the government's\nalertnesB ln protecting the timber resources of the province, though lt 1b\nconceded to be a slight hardship on the\nfarmer in clearing his land.\nSince the completion of the new\nsteamer Bonnlngton the number of\nhands at the shipyard has been reduced, but the men are gradually being\nput back to work on other vessels. The\nKootenay Is now on the ways undergoing extensive repairs.\nFrequent expressions of delight are\nmade by the travelling publlo on the\ncomfort of the new steamer Bonnlngton, and it is very apparent that the\nnew addition is particularly popular,\nmany passengers daily lying over at\nvarious points a day or so ln order to\ntake passage on lt\nMrB.

Shutt of Rochrapids,\nIowa, for J25.000.\nFADS AND FASHIONS.\nNEW YORK, July 30.\u2014Some fashion\nauthorities have expressed the opinion\nthat the coming autumn will bring\nmany important changes In fashions.\nThey say that the prosperity of the\nmanufactures and dealers in dress\ngoods demand a decided change ln the\nfashionable silhouette. It is claimed\nthat only by Buch a radical change can\nthe business be made profitable again\nThe depression in the business of the\nmanufacturers and dealers was due\nnot only to the fact that the fashionable dresses required an unusually\nsmall amount of material, but also to\nthe fact that owing to the retention\nof the slender silhouette for a number\nof seasons women were enabled to\nwear their old frocks for several seasons without \/being nctually out of\nBtyle.\nThe same authorities admit that a\nsudden radical change of the silhouette is not probable, as the women seem\nto like the present style with its\nBtraight and narrow lines. The designers have been experimenting lately\nwith Introducing certain modifications\nof the prevailing style which will eventually lead to a change of the silhouette. Here and there one has seen\na skirt with a trifle more amplitude\nthan the majority, a noticeable smart\nfrock with the natural waistline defined. Flounces and plaitingB have\ncrept Into use, though so flat and limp\nare they that tbey do not seem aggressive.\nThe Marie Antoinette fichu has been\nused upon the narrow, scant, high*\nwaisted models of 1911, but perhaps it\nmay be an entering wedge for the long\nwaist and skirt amplitude of Its own\nperiod. The revival of taffeta and the\ntrimmings of the early Victorian period, ruchlngs, shirred cords, puffing,\netc., may be another opening wedge,\nthough now all that Is set in tune with\nthe silhouette of last spring.\nThe fashion struggle of the autumn\nwill undoubtedly rage most hotly\naround tbe sleeves and skirts, though\nlengths are a burning topic at present. The general opinion seems to\nbe that the kimono sleeve muBt go. To\nbe Bure that battle cry was raised\nlast summer and everybody knows\nhow far the kimono sleeve went. But\nthe law of probabilities seems to be in\nfavor of carrying out the deBire this\ntime. It is safe to predict that the\nautumn will bring a change in the\nsleeves, but bow radical that change\nwill be there ts no telling.\nJust what the popular sleeve will\nbe remains to be seen, but lt would\nnot he advisable to have a new frock,\nintended for autumn use, made on the\nkimono lines wrick dominate summer\ncostumes. It ts also true that the very\nhigh waiBt line, though seen everywhere, Is undoubtedly losing prestage,\nand It seems likely that the modish\nline will he sound, that Is, at tbe natural waist line, even if lt does not, as\nsome rumors have it, elongate Itself\nstill further.\nVelvet appears upon many of the\ncoats in Batin.marq ulsette, cblffln,\netc., but is as a rule used sparingly\nmerely to give effective relief. The\nwide double faced satin with soft collar 0 nthe underside makes up Into\ndelightful coats,, the big collars and\ncuffs showing the colored side and\ntouches of black or heavy lace serving\nas additional trlmlng.\nGirls are Bhowlng again a fancy for\nlow-necked dresses completed with second empire collars of muslin lace or\nembroidery.\nK Meagher & Co.

His valet, Mar-\nchand, who waB the only servant to\nfollow him to the Isle of Elba, be-\nqueated a bulky manuscript to bis\nfamily, but so tar they have not only\nwithheld publication, but have not\neven allowed it to be examined. Fortunately the owners of another manuscript have not been so reticent and\nIt Is thanks to them tbat the first\nmemoirs of the emperor, by one of his\nservants bave been given recently to\nthe public. Tney were written by\nRoustam, Napoleon's Egyptian slave,\nwho was in constant attendance on\nthe emperor from 1798 to 1814. No\nattempt has been made to edit them\nfurther than to correct the spelling.\nThey give a plain unvarnished account of the slave's daily observations.\nClaims They are Genuine.\nM. Paul Cottin, who wrote the introduction to the memoirs, Ib the\ndirector to the Arsenal library In\nParis.     \"Even the most casual read-\ner,\" he says, \"would know that the\nmemoirs actually came from Rous-\ntarn's pen. \"It is surprising that they\nhave not been doctored, because most\nof the French memoirs, written during tbe first half of the nineteenth\ncentury were much retouched. Just\nhow bis reminiscences escaped doctoring and why they were not published years ago, no one seems to\nknow. They were (probably written\nln Dourdan, where Roustam retired\nwith his wife and two children after\nNapoleon was sent to St. Helena.\"\nAccording to Roustam's memoirs,\nhe first met Napoleon ln Saint Jean\nd'Arc ln Egypt, where Roustam was\nthe Blave of a sheik. ^This sheik\nsold him to Napoleon, who made him\nhis bodyguard. From the outset\nBonaparte bestowed favors upon him.\nAt their first meeting he offered him\nchampagne' in his tent and presented\nhim with a jeweled sword. The emperor paid the expenses, amounting\nto $300, of his slave's wedding feast,,\nwhen he married the daughter of\nEmpress Josephine's valet. Then\nNapoleon offered $2,000 to an Armenian traveler if be would bring Roustam's mother to France, and he also\nordered Isabey to paint a picture of\nthe slave so that he could send it to\nhiB mother.\nTakes  Empress to Theatre.\nThe night Roustam first reached\nParis he was allowed to escort Josephine to the theatre. She grew as\nfond of him as her husband and of-\nten  proved her Interest by interven-\nThis Great Historical Picture Should Be in\nEvery Canadian Home\nFounders of the Dominion\nSize 19 by 25 Inches, suitable for framing.\nThe Illustration above unfortunately gives very little Idea of the\nclearness and beauty of the fine reproduction we offer.\nSir John A.

She even permitted her daughter to paint the slave's\nportrait and during hiB sittings Hort-\nense whiled away the time by Binging\nto him. Roustam showed equal devotion to both master and mistress\u2014\na double devotion that caused him no\nlittle preplexity on one occasion. It\nwas at Malmalson. The emperor\nordered him to hand htm a rifle so\nthat he could shoot at some swans.\nThe empress protested vehemently\nand Roustam was torn between his\ntwo allegiances. The emperor laughed heartily at his confusion.\nNapoleon has no reason to complain\nof bis mameluke's fidelity. For years\nRoustam slept In a room adjoining\nhis master's, and in time of special\ndanger he placed his bed across the\ncommunicating door. Once he practically saved his master's life on the\nbattlefield, for had it not been for his\nhigh white turban, a bullet would\nhave struck the emperor. It was\nthree years before Roustam received\nany pay for his services and yet his\ndevotion to his master never faltered\n\u25a0which is Baying much for a man\nof avaricious  disposition.\nIn spite of Napoleon's many liberalities, Roustam's loyalty wavered when\nlt came  to  following his   master  to\n\"AT IT HERE SmCE 1900V\n60\nWUwoRK, _.\nimyOUHNONE?\nWORK TOO.\nwim us tow maun\/-'\n4Z INTEREST WHICHC\nWECRtWTIiOllTHL'V \\\nn-BLEONPEMAIIP\n\/IS QUICKLY AS THE rVILJ\nGUI CARRY IT. \"*\nPEOPLE JUST 15 CflRHTIl\n\/mpCdUTIMISM\nVOUCH PI BE,\n-IRRWEU-PLEflSEPi,\nAMD THOROUGHLY\/\nSATISFIED,\nWITH Trie WAV IH WHICH\nour Business is\nTRrtflMtTE\"-\/) BUSIMESS\nH\/UHKED BY PEOPLE OP\nMATURED EXPERIENCE\n&HlfiHC5TiriTEfiBITX\nfl posm.eiviriG\nyOUR NAME SUPPRESS.\nwiiiPRonmyBRiiifiYOu.\nrUUV INFORMATION.\nWRITE T\u00ab\nSHOULP YOU HAVE 90.\nPlrWMGML BUSINESS 111\nVANCOUVER \"Vicinity,!\nRENTS TO COIHMT.\n\/MREBMENTCP0R&1LE\"\nnoRTMGESToeoh\/irrp.8\nmt COIVECT.\nFIREINJORMdETOPMCB;\nLET US ATTEND TO IT]\nWE ARE PLErt5inO\\\nOTHERS WEWIU-BESWnl\nTO PLBflSB.yOU.y\n^Vancouver B.C.^\nFruit Land Investments\nImproved and unimproved lands.

If you\nrun across Countess von Bylandt, divorced wife of a well known editor of\nCopenhagen, you will find all this out.\nThe countesH is now sojourning in New\nYork.\nIt' is true that the countess* ideas\nof American freedom results in large\nmeasure from her failure to be permitted to smoke cigarettes whenever\nshe wished in this city, but she considers that one violation of personal\nliberty is just as gross as any other,\nand so she makes her case out of a\ncigarette.\n\"They say the American woman is a\nqueen in her own right,\" the countess\ndeclared with- indignation that made\nher collar uncomfortably close. \"Bah!\n(at least the interviewer said she said\n\"bah.\") \"A queen who does not dare\nto smoke in the public restaurant because her husband objects to the sight.\nA queen who is allowed to stand in a\ncrowded subway train while her male\nvassals sit and read their papers. A\nqueen who hammers away at the typewriter all day long while her kind employer motors In the country. A European woman would want no such freedom.\"\nBut the Countess von Bylandt is\nnothing if not bizarre. She declares\nthat New York women care more for\nthe conventions than for their morals,\nand cites as proof that they think nothing at all of having as many as three\ndivorces but would consider three\ncigarettes in public an eternal disgrace\nNo matter what the countess talks\nabout, Bomehow the conversation drifts\nto cigarettes. Maybe it is because, as\nshe confesses, she smokes between 50\nand 60 of them a day.\n\"Smoking has nothing to do with\none's morals,\" she says. \"It ts as much\na personal matter as the way one does\none'B hair. A gentlewoman is a law\nunto herself. It is not what she does\nbut how she does it that should count.\"\n. .How's that for a wide platform on\nwhich to stand? There's one other\nthing that this unconventional woman\ndoesn't understand In her American\nsisters, and that Is their treatment of\ndivorced husbands\u2014their own divorced husbands.\n\"The other day I wbb visiting in\nRye,\" she said, \"and I met a woman\nwho had heen divorced. At a clubhouse\ngathering this woman discovered that\nher divorced husband was there. What\ndid she do? Did she greet him with\nkindness and eourtesy as one should\ngreet a divorced husband\n\"Not at all. She cut him and she\nleft the clubhouse. Shall I tell you\nwhat I do when I meet my divorced\nhusband? \"'Ah, my dear friend,' I exclaim, 'come and let ub have a bite of\nsupper together, as ln the old days,\nor shall It be a cigarette?' Fancy not\nspeaking to a man whose wife you had\nonce been.\"\nAn Incentive to Crime.\nThere's no \/better stage ln the world\nfor watching the drama of the child\nthan the children's court, of New York\ncity. So when Ernest K. Clouter, who\nhas been chief clerk of a court since\nits establishment, tells you that\n\"money hunger, as it exists among a\ncertain class of persons, is certainly\ndriving a large number of children to\ncrime,\" you can't dismiss the indictment offhand.\nClouter has heard thousands of tales\ntold of the children and of their\nparents, he has learned to sift the\nfalse from the true and to draw deductions that are warranted. He\nformed the \"Big Brothers club\" to aid\nin making the life of the New York\nboy somewhat easier and happier.\nAccording to Clouter It is not the\nabjectly poor who drive their children\nInto crime for the money that it may\nbring In. This class wULBend Its\nchildren out to labor at scanty wages\nfar too early in life, and wiff do b\n*   ,t\nthings that amount to virtual murder\nof the little ones ln the long run, but\nthey do not countenance crime.\n\"It is in the second class that you\nfind money hunger, in the middle class\nhome you will often see children working when it is not really necessary, but\nthe parents have felt the craving for\nmoney, and every cent that comes into home is hoarded up. In many cases\nthe parent will take the child's hard\nearned money and spend it for his or\nher own diversion. Those are the parents who are making criminals of little children and who should be severely punished.\n'These children taken from school\nat too early an age, put to work and\n{deprived of the right relaxation of\nmind and body, form a large portion of\nthose little ones who are pitied' because they have defective minds.\n\"I think there should be a law requiring the parent to allow the boy or\ngirl who earns money a certain reasonable percentage of it for pleasure.\n\"If such a law were made and enforced, if every child who earns money\nand lives at home were permitted to\nhave a fair portion of tt to feel that he\nhad some compensation for his work\noutside of a roof to cover him and\nsomething to eat, fewer children would\nbe placed In reformatories and state\ninstitutions.\n\"It is shameful to have to believe\nthat nearly three-quarters of the number of children brought to this court on\na charge of theft have been complained of by the parent.\n\"The child who is not allowed to\nspend a cent sees other boys with\nmoney, finds them happy and making\nlittle purchases. The boy with no\nmoney feels envious. He is laughed at\nby his companions.\nWhat is he to do? Surely a few pennies will not be missed from the pocket\nbook he has helped to fill. He takes\nthem. The demand for money grows\nand he begins to steal from outsiders.\n\"These parents should be dealt with\njust as severely, If not more severely,\nthan the child. There are just as\nmany, if not more, delinquent parents\nat large than there are children of that\nclass. These parents do not understand the fundamental principals of\nbringing up a child.\nNELSON NEWS OF THE DAY\nThe city council will meet thla evening.\nThe county court will open this morning\nat 10:30.\nThe regular meeting of the W.

Fourteen years\nago the Home Dramatic company made\na production of Mr. Royle's first play,\n\"Friends,\" and both the author and his\nwife took principal parts in the performance. The play became a success almost\nat once, and Is even now a popular vehicle In the stock houses throughout the\ncountry. He also wrote \"Mexico,\" though\nthis was not quite so successful. Then the\ntemptations of vaudeville assailed Mr. and\nMrs. Royle, and they played In these\nthertres for two years In a number of\nsketches written by Mr. Royle himself.\nThree years or so ago \"My Wife's Husband\" was presented In New York and\nwas pronounced a success. Nat C. Goodwin secured the rights to It, but owing to\na breach of contract litigation was Involved and the play wns thrown Into the\ncourts. Then came \"The Squaw Man,\"\nand at present Mr. Royle has other plays\nin course of construction.\nThe program at the Empire theatre for\nMonday and Tuesday Is as follows: Solax\nfeature, \"A Mexican Girl's Love,\" a fine\nmilitary story showing the impulsive nature of the Mexican heart; a Yankee tea-\ntare. \"Sun Bonnet Sue,\" a tale of the\nKentucky mountains, and two good Gaumont comedies, \"The Princess and the\nFishbone\" and \"The End of the Cigar.'\nThe management ot the Gem theatre\nhave great pleasure In presenting \"The\nTale of Two Cities,\" Dickens' famous\nstory, a Vitagraph film d' art, to the people Of Nelson. The Vitagraph people have\nwithout doubt performed a notable\nachievement In presenting this story ln\nsuch excellent form and ln a year when\nDickens Is being studied and considered\nmore than for a long time such a contribution as this is a help not alone to students of Dickens, but to the thousands who\nhave for one reason or another perhaps\nlost sight of his marvellous faculty for\nstory telling.

But there was a prior location and he could do nothing with\nthe owner. Alter a while the claim,\nwhich was never crown granted, lapsed\nfor non-assessment. Back came Whittaker to Kaslo a short time ago and he\nand Bob Youill went up and maSe a\nre-]ocation. As soon as they showed\ntheir samples around town there was a\nstampede to the new diggings that\nwould almost be enough to put the\nSteamboat mountain stampede into the\nshade. Lardo Jack, Andy Jardlne and\nother early day prospectors, feeling\nagain the days when they trod the virgin hills, took to the trail with packs on\ntheir backs.\nThe formation around Blue Ridge is\nsaid to be about the same as Poplar\ncamp. The find Is about five miles\nfrom the Kaslo & Slocan railway and\nnearly 14 miles from Kaslo In a direct\nline. If any large quantity of the rock\nIs found, similar to the samples shown\nhere, there will undoubtedly be a grand\nrush. It is said that the ledge from\nwhich these pieces were taken averages\n10 feet In width. Possibly this may be\nthe place from which the gold came\nthat was washed out of the bed of Kaslo creek in the early days.\nRAMBLER-CARIBOO ORE SHOOT\nWIDENS TO WIDTH OF DRIFT\nThe ore shoot recently broken into\non the 1200-fooi level of the Rambler-\nCariboo has widened within a week\nfrom two feet of clean ore to the\nfull width of the drift. This is the second of the three lenses which have\nbeen well developed on the 900-foot\nlevel. Where opened on the 1050-foot\nlevel the same lens had a width of\nonly one foot. The ore is the usual\nhigh grade product of the Rambler-Cariboo, ranging from 100 to 150 ounces of\nsilver to the ton and with a lead contents of 50 and 60 per cent.\nBRIGHT OUTLOOK  FOR\nPERRY CREEK PLACERS\nThere is every prospect of very extensive delevopment of the Perry creek\nplacers being under way in the near\nfuture, says the Cranbrook Herald.\nAs announced ln these columns some\ntime ago, \"Big\" Jim Macdonell, head of\nthe well-known railway contracting firm\nof Macdonell and Gzowski of Vancouver, who are largely interested in\nPerry creek claims, waB up there with\na mining expert, Mr. Percy Williams, of\nVancouver, inspecting the property and\narranging for resumption of work.\nThe Herald has since learned through\nDr. Bonnell of Fernie, who Ib interested\n\"Lilly\" ___ Coal\nThere Is no other quite as food.\nWood-Vaflance Hardware Co.

Williams was sent In to inspect\nthe situation. <\u2022 So far as can be learend\nMr. Williams was very favorably impressed with what he saw and will so\nreport to his New York chiefs. One\nsignificant remark made by Mr. Williams was to the effect that in the past\nhe had reported upon properties that\nran but nine'or 10 cents to the yard,\nwhilst the Perry creek properties returned as many dollars.\nThere is good reason to believe that\nthe Guggenhelms will take hold of the\nMacdonell and Gzowski properties on\nPerry creek and operate them on an\nextensive scale. A definite announcement in this connection will likely be\nmade in tbe course of the next few\nweeks, and should it prove that these\nwell-known millionaire mining operators intend to actively engage in the development of the Perry creek placers\nthere will be something doing ln that\nBection of the country that will mean\na great deal for Cranbrook.\nMAY OPERATE   BLACK  FOX.\nT.

Hewitt, a prominent rancher; H. A. French,\nex-jusut v ot the peace; Colin S. Smith, a\nrancher; James Baker, Hunter trapper aim\npacker, and Ellen Smith:\nThe latter Is a daughter of Hewitt and\nwue ot uuiin Smith, there being a daughter 14 months old of the marriage. The\nparties all live in the neighborhood of Port\nHill, Idaho, about seven miles trom Creston,\nj-ast fall Smith accused his father-in-law\nof the grave crime of familiarity with his\nown daughter, and Hewitt was arrested\nand the case after many adjournments\nwas eventually ended at Sand Point, when\nHewitt was declared by the court innocent\nof the crime of incest. In this case Hewitt's strong supporter was H. A. ITrenclu\nthe well Known Port H1U merchant and\nlate Justice of the peace.\nThen followed aa action by Hewitt far\nthe possession of his daughter, Hewitt\nclaiming that Smith was not a fit person\nto have control of her. This squabble was\nnever definitely settled, but the child is\nnow ln the care of third parties who have\nbeen decided upon by the state of Idaho.\nTne next ma^e in the feud was reached\nwhen through the instigation of Smith's\nfriends ii. A. French was arrested for selling alcohol In tne dry town of Port mil\nwithout tlie necessary permit In this case\nit was proved tnat French had been in the\nhabit lor years of keeping a jar of alcohol\ntor the convenience of his customers who\nhad sick horses and that he bad only sold\na gallon, ln three years. French was the\n\"dry\" candidate for magisterial honors at\nthe lost Port Hill elcetlon, being defeated\nby Attorney Hall, who conducted the prosecution in the alcohol case against French.\nThe latter was fined $100 and costs.\nThe next thing was the report by Smith\nthat Hewitt waa hanging around his ranch\nand trying to induce his wife to leave him.\nA few days later Smith caught Hewitt on\nhiB property and lt was stated that Smith\nfired pointblank at him with intent to kill.\nTwo shots were discharged, and Smith was\nplaced behind the bars on the charge of\nattempted murder. This case also is yet\nln abeyance, aa the principal witness for\nthe prosecution vanished.\nThe last stage in this family feud occurred last night, and ultimately the court\nwill be called upon to decide lf lt it a case\nof elopement, abduction, or simply a case\nof a wife leaving her husband's roof of her\nown free will. Smith claims that his wife\nhas been hypnotised,\nMrs. Smith and little daughter, Mary\nEllen, have for the past three days been\nvisiting Mrs. Fleming in Port Hill, while\nSmith has been working on the ranch.\nSmith clslms bo had suspicions that hli\nenemies war* about to strike another blow\nutiu su ne ..us on the watch for any move\non their part. Hero James Baker comes\nInto tho picture. Smith haa warned him\noff his ranch several times during the past\nsix weeks. The climax come on Saturday\nnight, when Smith went to town to visit\nhis wife and discovered she was not there.\nKeeping his own counsel he learned that\na rig carrying three persons and a child\nhad been seen leaving town an hour pre-\nvlously,   but   no   one   apparently   knew\nEstablished 1898\nTha Sign of tha Flsti\nThe Fisherman's Mail\nOrder House\nEverything for tha fisherman.\nE.

He followed the trail of\nthe wheels until they turned toward Creston and also found that It was a Creston\nteam. He divined the latter from the fact\nthat the plates on the horses' feet on this\nside of the International boundary line are\ndifferent to those on the other.\nHe then made for Creston on foot, Journeying on the right-of-way of the Kootenay Valley lino, figuring that although\nthe runaways had an hour's start of him\nhe would be ln Creston first to meet them,\nbecause by wagon road the distance Is 14\nmiles, while the direct road by following\nthe railway ties Ib only seven miles. He\narrived in Creston today at 2 a. m. and\nImmediately went to the house of Constable Gunn, who at once went In search\nof the parties.\nDisaster was hard on the trail of the\nparty. The rig was ordered by phone from\nPort Hill at 10 o'clock last night and H.\nMcCreatli, proprietor of the Creston livery,\nhimself journeyed to port Hill to bring\nback the party. All went well until the\nbig hill near Goat canyon was reached\nwhen a telephone wire that had fallen\nacross the road was struck by the horses\nand their feet and legs became entangled.\nIn their fright they began to back up, and\nthis being a particularly dangerous spot,\nthe rig, occupants and horses were precipitated over the steep embankment at\nthe canyon. The rig was completely demolished and lt seems a miracle that there\nare not four deaths to report. The harness\nwas torn from the horses, who were but\nslightly scratched. The demolished rig\nnow lies 100 feet down the embankment.\nMrs. Smith and child, although somewhat\nseverely shaken up are not seriously Injured and they were taken to the Erlckson hotel, where they stayed until this\nmorning, while Baker and McCreath came\nInto Creston with the horses.\nImmediately upon his arrival in Creston\nConstable Gunn arrested Baker, the charge\nbeing that of carrying concealed weapons.\nHe was dumbfounded when accosted by\nSmith and the constable- He waa placed\nIn the local lookup and taken to Nelson\nfor trial today.\nMrs. Smith arrived In town this morning\nfrom Erlckson with her child and ln company with her husband dined at the Burton hotel. She Is a young woman, SO years\nof age. Interviewed she said that she\nwas anxious to return to Port Hill with\nher husband and that the had heen deceived ln making tbe trip. She alio said\nthat her brother Jim had promised to take\nher to Butte.
