One of these\nwas to have a wooden bridge on concrete piers located nt Grobmnn creek\ncosting ?40,000, with Taghum and tlio\nBalfour road connected at a further\ncost of ?35,000. Tbe other alternative\nwas to build n ?4S,000 BUBpensloil\nbridge nt Tuglmm. with rood connections costing HO00 additional, and Install a free terry, making hourly trip's,\nfrom the  city  to  the  Balfour  rond.\nUrge City's Claims\nThe ense for locating the bridge In\ntho city' nnd having it -a permanent\nstructure was comprehensively put by\nMr. Starkey, who was In the chair,\nMayor Annable, Aid. Gleazer. nnd\nMessrs. Foster. Hinton. Johnstone. Irving and Wlddowson. It wns pointed\nout that over 200 settlers on the norlli\nside of the Arm were debarred from\ndriving Into Nelson nnd in bad winters wero apt to be without any access\nwhatever to the clly for weeks at a\ntime. It was also pointed out that\nmines at nearby lake points, if the\nbridge were at Nelson, could haul to\ntbo clly and save thc greater part of\nthe 00 cent lake carriage, nnd that\nthiB nlso would encourage mining on\ntlie Arm. Tho necessity of bringing\nthe Wans-provinoial highway through\nNelson, a policy now being advocated\nby Creston, as against taking It over\na 0,000 foot summit, was also urged.\nOn tlie question of finance. It was\nslated thai Ihls district had pnld In\nmining taxes $1,000,000 more than it\nhad received back in public Improvements.

Aid. Gleazer\ntook the  view  (hut  If  Mr.  Griffiths^\ntentative estimate of $250,000 were riot\ngreatly exceeded, the bridge was as\ngood us secured, for Premier McBride\nhad stated that If the bridge was\nfound to not cost much more than\n$200,000, Nelson claims would be given\nvery serious consideration. The premier on that occuslon had mentioned\nthat his Information then wus that\n$400,000 or even $500,000' was the probable cost.\nMr. Griffiths stated that ho was authorized to state that a ferry could\nbe put on the coming fall. As for the\nbig bridge. If tho government so instructed him, ho could also proceed\nwith borings to determine tlie character of the bottom. In the meantime,\nGreen Bros. & Burden were making\nsurveys und as soon as their report\n\"was in he would forward a copy of it\nwith a copy of the drawings, to tho\nboard.\nA hearty vote of thanks was extended to MeBsrs.

For two and a half\nhours the prime minister and his col-\nloagues labored with lhe committee\nrepresenting Iho coal owners, and for\nfour hours and a half with the miners'\nexecutive committee, but they failed\nso. completely to secure concessions\nfrom either which would afford a basis\nof agreement between tbem that it\nwas found Inadvisable tu bring tiie\ndisputants together again. As in pre-\nviuus crises in the situation, the government resorts to mystifying secrecy,\nthe only information vouchsafed tn\nthe official statement issued this\nevening being: \"The conference adjourned until tomorrow.\"\nWilli everybody concerned In the\nin-gol in lions pledged to silence, what.\nchanges tomorrow will bring cannot\nbe predicted. Tbe one fact that stands\nout prominently ts that the government's Intervention thus far has\nproved entirely futile. What expectations are now entertained lhat tho\nruinous struggle will be speedily terminated are based on the hope that\nthe miners will in increasing numbers\nbreak away from the leaders and resume work. Their funds are rapidly\ndwindling and tiie men are likely to\ntake this step If assured that recognition of tbe principle of the minimum\nwage was conceded. A majority of\nthem have nothing to gain by a prolonged strike.\nEvery where lhe working classes,\nparticularly those dependent upon the\nmines, arc undergoing unspeakable\nsuffering.

During the present winter,\nfor example, there havo been any\nnumber of men in .\"*-*<*ison with nothing\nto do. who. in a few hours spent in\nthe Pitner office\" would have mastered the meehniiics of the Timer are,\nand would hav.- been glad of the work\nof filling the tanks and lighting the\nlamps at a living wage. The tanlts\nwill require filling once iu four or\nfive days. One man could light all\n50 lamps iind pump up ilie tanks in\nan hour and a half. Allow \u00a71,000 for\nlabor.    To recapitulate:\n\"Flame area: Purchase and Installation, ?6,85fl; carbons for a year,\n?1,000; current for a year at 4 cents\nper kiiowat hour, $4,726; labor changing   carbons,   pay   ^nn;      interest   on\ncapital account at 4 per cent, $274;\ninterest on current account for half\nof year, 5100.

Mr. Schofield, though suffering\nfrom a severe cold, was In splendid\nform, and spoke for over an hour, being frequently interrupted by applause and cheers when he forced\nhome some telling points In favor of\nthe present government. After outlining the railroad policy of the government,     Mr.     Schofield     furnished\nto the\nHungry\nsome facts which were probably of\n\u25a0ore Interest to his local hearers.\nChief amongst these was the providing of a foot bridge across the Columbia river at Castlegar Junction, which\nwould be a part of the present railroad bridge. When Mr. Schofield an-,\nnounced this fact he was greeted with\ntremendous applause and hearty\ncheers both for himself and the government. There were also a number\nof other improvements announced,\nprincipally road work. Mr. Schofield\nis certainly entitled to all the credit\nhe received for securing this foot\nbridge acrosB the Columbia, which\nhas been a long felt want, and was\nbadly needed. When this is completed .we will havo an uninterrupted\nroadway from Castlegar to Crescent\nValley on the Slocan branch of thc\nCanadian Pacific railroad, and to\nRobson, and when the wagon road is\ncompleted between Thrums and Castlegar we will be in close touch with\nNelson. After Mr. Schofield had finished speaking Mr. Scott of Trail also\ndelighted the audience with a few remarks, this, as both speakers had to\ncatch the 9 o'clock train for Trail,\nbringing a most enjoyable political\nmeting to a close.

Tomorrow will see\nthe end of the preparatory work and\nthe following day polling will take\nplace.

It promises to be another clean\nsweep for the government candidates.\nIn Nelson any doubt there may\nhave been at any time of the result\nhas disappeared and Mr. Maclean's\nelection is as certain as it is possible\nfor an election to be before polling\nhas actually taken place. All that is\nnecessary is that Mr. Maclean's supporters, irrespective of politics, shall\ncontinue their efforts in his behalf\nuntil the last vote has been polled.\nIf they do Mr. Maclean should have a\nmajority which will surprise at least\none of his opponents.\nIn Rossland Mr. Lome Campbell\nshould win by a handsome majority,\nwhile the people of Ymlr will undoubtedly re-elect Mr. Schofield.

To celebrate the\ncentenary a movement is on foot to\ncollect funds for the erection in Montreal of a memorial that will In substantial form perpetuate his memory.\nThe Dominion owes much to Cartier,\nand the movement deserves public\nsupport.\nThe services of Sir George Cartier\nhave been publicly acknowledged by\nthose best qualified to appreciate the\nwork that he performed for a united\nCanada. Sir John A. Macdonald declared that Cartier was as bold as a\nlion, nnd that but for him Confederation could not have been carried while\nSir Charles Tupper has declared that\nwithout Cartier there could have been\nno Confederation, and that therefore\nCanada owes him a debt that can\nnever be repaid.\nSir John A. Macdonald and Sir\nGeorge Etienne Cartier were the two\ngreatest figures in the Confederation\nmovement, and their long association\nand cordial co-operation strikingly\ntypified the union that should alwayB\nexist between the two great races of\nthe Dominion. The services that each\nof them rendered to their country entitle them to the lasting gratitude cf\ntheir fellow countrymen. The memory of Sir John A. Macdonald ls\nworthily honored by mdnuments in\nmany localities, but It remains for\nthe people to honor the memory of\nCartier by a memorial worthy of the\ngreat Dominion, that he worked so\nfaithfully to create.\nCartier was not only devoted to thc\nidea of a united Canada, a statesman\nof farslghtcd and broad views, a\nstaunch patriot, a lawyer and a soldier, but he was also, it should be\nremembered, nn admirer of British Institutions and a firm advocate of British connection. Speaking in London,\nOntario, In I860 he declared: \"The\nCanadian peoplo desire to remain\nfaithful to the old monarchical flag of\nGreat Britain, that flag which waves\nover all the seas, that flag which\ntyranny has never been able to overcome, that flag which symbolizes true\nliberty. Canadians know that if they\nwish to become really great they have\nonly to continue their union with the\nmother country so as to share in her\npower, her prestige and her glory.\"\nSir George Etienne Cartier belongs\nto al!

Senator\nLougheed said that the government\nwas prepared to accept some of them\nbut not others. For Instance lt did\nnot think that It should accept thc\nnmcndments providing that where the\ncommission reports in fatfor of ii tariff Increase on any industry It shall\nreport on the number of factories\ncost of buildings and equipment, employees, capital, if there haa been\nstock watering or combines in the industry and list of shareholders and\ndividends for ten years. Mr. Lougheed snid that the_ commission could\nnot be allowed to report In favor of\na tariff change. It could only report\non the conditions. There was danger\nIn enquiring into the financlnl status\nof corporations and Industries and\npublishing the information to thc\nworld. There was nothing in the law\nat present which authorized any government commissioner to go into a\nfactory and say: \"I want to know your\nfinancial status.\" In every industry\nthere were bound to bo many factories\nand each with its own financial status.\nSome might he good nnd some bad,\nbut he did not see Flat their financial\nstatus had anything to do in deciding\na tariff framed for thc benefit of Can\nnda.\nSir Richard Cartwrlght said he believed the financial status of companies had a good deal to with the\nquestion. He thought from experience\nthat some good companies sought tariff bonus to enable them to pay dividends on watered stock,\nGrain Bill\nConsideration of the Grain bill was\nthen. resumed. Senator Watson said\nrailway companies should be compelled to own and operate their terminal\nelevators. That would give the solution of all storago and terminal difficulties connecter with grain. It\nwould also be a good thing for tlie\ngovernment to build and operate large\nstorage elevators at various points in\nthe interior country.\nSenator T .0. Davis moved to strike\nout the clause which provides for the\nestablishment of sample markets at\nCalgary, Winnipeg and Fort William\nand which permitted mixing. He said\nthe evidence given last year showed\nthe elevators, interior and terminal,\nwero in the hands of a combine. They\nhad been found guilty and fined for\nbreaking tho law against mixing. Who\nwould buy on a sample market and\ntrust his grain to these men? N*>\none would. The provisions were of\nno use to anyone except tho combines.\nThe clause would merely hove the effect of legalizing mixing for the sole\nbenefit of the combine. He had no\nobjection to the sample market If the\nmixing provision were cut out,\nSenator Talbot said the section regarding buying by sample should\nstand while the clause regarding mix\nIng should be struck out.\nSenator WatBOn said that^ If samplt\nmarkets were established \"companies\nwould buy on sample and store In ter-\nMMMMffili\nall grades of wheat from millers all\nover the country.\nThey bought a carload by sample\nand sent it on to thc millers without\nremoving it from the cars. There was\nno similarity in Canada. The only\npeople who would buy on sample were\nthose who now control the terminal\nelevators. Canada's inspection was\ngood. It had a good name. Last year\nhe had called on one of the largest\nEnglish grain Importers, the head of\na Manchester firm, which bought grain\nfrom all over the world to fill orders\nfrom millers all over Canada. When\nasked about Canadian grades he replied: \"You have an inspector over\nthero whoso name Is David Horn and\nlhat name on a grade certificate is\nAl. In 20 years we have never heard\nof anything wrong with a cargo cf\ngrain from Canada.\" Canada Bhould\nstick to her present system.\nSenator Young said Senator Davis\nhad given an erroneous impression In\nsaying the grain dealing was all in\nthe hands of a combine. There was\na provincial system In Saskatchewan,\nthere was a grain growers' grain com-\npand and ho himself was an independent handler in a small way. No ono\ndoubted that the sample market was\nthc Ideal way of selling and buying\ngrain, but such a market could only\nbe established where conditions were\nright as they were in Mlnenapolls and\nas he believed they were not in Canada yet.\nAt  Farmers* Request\nMr. Lougheed said the government\nhad put this provision ln at the request of the farmers who at a meeting In Calgary passed a formal resolution favoring sample markets. They\nhad since changed their minds and\nwero opposing sample markets. The\nquestion was wore they right then or\nnow. Everyone agrees that under proper conditions the sample m\/rkct was\nideal. It might be true that the time\nfor the sample market had not come\nin Cannda yet. It might bo that those\nconditions could be brought about by\ntho creation of facilities in the way of\nbinning elevators. To bring about\nconditions something should be foreshadowed. He therefore thought the\nclause should stand but ho would so\nanierid j't thnt' it would not become\neffective until it had been proclaimed\nby the governor general in council\nand that proclamation should not be\nmade \"unless nnd until the governor\ngeneral is satisfied thnt proper conditions exist for bringing this section\nInto force.\"\nSchool Question.\nResuming the debate on tho Manitoba bill Senator Costlgan said it was\nto be regretted that the school question had to come up so often. There\nwould not have been a confederation\nIf the educational guarantees had not\nbeen  given   and   they   were   given on\nthe demand of Quebec, and that province had never attempted to repudiate\nthem. He reviewed tho history of\nschool legislation and in conclusion\nmoved that the principle be affirmed\nthat educational rights which the\npeople of Keewatln now have shall\nhe safeguarded,\nSenator Power asked if tho amendment was In order and Mr. Lougheed\nsaid this was a money bill which the\nsenate could not amend.\nSpeaker Landry said It was a money\nbill and could not be amended, but tho\nmotion did not* amend thc bill but\ndeclared a principle on motion for second reading and therefore was in\norder.\nSenator Cloran declared it was time\nfor thc Protestants of Manitoba to\nawaken to a sense of honor and realize the shameful thing they were doing. In taking the money of the\nRoman Catholic minority and using tt\nfor the education of their own children and the children of the Jews and\nDoukhobors. Senator Cloran said he\nhad before 1886 been sent to Manitoba\nby the Quebec government to find out\nwhat was behind the agitation for the\nabolition of separate schools. He had\nfound Mr. Greenway and his colleagues were not in favor of It with\nthe exception of Joe Martin. He told\nthe Greenway government that to repeal the school rights of Catholics In\nManitoba would destroy tho Liberal\nparty in Quebec and had asked that\nthe agitation be ended. Joe Martin\nhad told him to \"go to hell.*' Premier Greenway had told him Martin\nwas a scoundrel who wns playing firebrand to cover up something personal.\nSifton was against the ngltatlon.\nSenator Cloran said he had been sent\nby tho Quebec government of that day\nto see what was behind thc ngltatlon.\nIf lt wns based on pure prejudice, the\npremier of Quebec proposed to enact\nthe Manitoba biil word for word, not\nto impose its unfair provisions on the\nProtcBtnnt minority in Quebec, but to\ncompel Sir John A. Macdonald to disallow this nnd the Manitoba bill with\nit. On his report it was not necessary\nto enact this legislation.\nOrder being called the speaker stated that thc argument would have to\nbe applied moro closely to thc amend-,\nment. ,\nSpeaker Landry left the chair to\nspeak upon the amendment. He read\na telegram from O. Charlobols of Keewatln, asking for the continuance of\nthe school rights for the people of\nKeewatln. Ho stated that confederation was brought by fairness and\ncompromise to put an end to dissension which then existed. One of the\nmost important arguments was that\nof sepnrate schools. In the case of\nthe portion of Keewatln to be annexed\nho held thc law of 1875 exists as\nclearly today as when it was enacted.\nDally News Want Ads.

A. E. Smith, Arthur Harrod and\nJ. W. Wilkinson\u2014Harry Wriaht\nAlso Gives Address\nA Rood crowd attended, tho Socialist\nmeeting held in the opera house last\nnight The speakers wero A. W. Harrod,\nRev. A. E. Smith, Harry Wright and\nJ. W. Wilkinson. Aid. Austin occupied\ntho chair and -In his .opening remarks\ntold tlie audience that this meeting was\nthe last parting shot of the Socialistic\ncampaign, as far as Nelson was concerned. He said that If they were\nbeaten ho wanted Nelson people t\" know\nthey would not consider themselves\nwhipped. \"Wo have never acknowledged\ndefeat,\" be said, \"and -though we may\nbe defeated now that-does not mean that\nWe are through, for our party is on the\nIncrease a.M wo\" shall eventually come\nto the front.\"\nHo mentioned that It was the Intention\nof the Socialists to keep right after tho\ngame, ond when they did get into power\nthey would not charge a man $100 to\nrun for office. He went on -to say that\nIt would bo no good for British Columbia\nto he solid for Socialism unless the rest\nof the- country was ready to take hold\nof the principles of Socialism, too. The\naffairs of the country, he said, were ln\nthe hands of gigantic corporations, and\nlands near the railroads were all staked\nout by the corporations, so that when\ntho settler came in he had to take land\na long way from the railroad. In conclusion 'ho said that the earth was the\npeople's, and the people would have It.\nMr. Wright\nMr. Wright spoke of the pleasure It\nafforded him to have the opportunity of\nappearing beforo such a large audience\n\u25a0iis their ex-representative, He said ho\nappreciated thc Invitation to speak, and\nwished to return thc Invitation to those\nwho desired to air their views at his\nmeeting. He made reference to the\nfailure of the secretary of the' Conservative association to notify him of tho\nconvention and stated that he did not\nconsider that he had hod a square des.1.\nHo said ho had been a friend of the\nworklngman and had voted for legislation that tended to the betterment of\ntho worklnnmai**H condition. Ho said tf\nthere was anything he had not done ho\nwanted to be told about It. \"I am not\nashamed to meet anybody,\" he suld, \"In\nreference to what I have done for Nelson.\" He hnd obtained everything they\nhad asked for, and what more could they,\nexpect from any mnn? The Conservative\nassociation, he said, had handed Mm a\ndirty lemon, and he asked for a square\ndeal. At this point a man In the gallon\nasked If there bad been any apnolntmenti\nmade with regard to inspection of rail\nroad ond lumber -camps, and Mr. Wright's\nreply was that there bad been inspectors\nappointed. He also referred to the bridge\nquestion and said that those who had\ntaken tho bridge mntter up should have\nfirst obtained the consent of the Dominion government because that was\nnecessary when navigable water were to\nlie crossed.\nRev. A. E. Smith received a great\novation upon rising. He mentioned that\nhe had been to many political meetings\nand he had noticed that there was a\ngreat display of patience and good humor\nat these meetings, nnd that tilings could\nhe snid at apolitical meeting that could\nnot he snid elsewhere. He supposed lhat\nthe appearance of a minister on a public\nplatform, speaking hi support of n. political candidate, might cause a certain\niiinount of surprise, but ho felt that he\nought to he able to expross bis views on\nthe public questions of tlie day In any\ncase. Ho dealt With the principles of\nSocialism and said lhat it was the right\n\u00bbf anv citizen to uphold the principles\nhe felt to be right. He also spoke of\ntbe fact that most people seemed to treai\na political campaign as a huge joke, and\nsaid that In reality It wns a most serious\norlsis in the history of the country. Tlie\nSocialists were ridiculed, he said, but\nevolution would Inevitably bring home to\ntlie people the tremendous force of the\nSocialistic principles. * \u25a0' '.\n1 He cited ihe commencement of tho\nsuffragette campaign in England, (10 yenrs\nago. and said that he had no doubt but\nthat in a fairly short time the suffragettes would triumph*. \"The spirit of\ndiscontent is about,\" said Mr. Smith,\n\u25a0'politically, religiously, economically and\nsocially, and nothing but radical means\nwill eradicate the trouble.\" Socialism\nwas like Christianity, because it had\nnever been tried. Mr. tttnith gave a number of figures in connection with railroad\nearnings and said the worklngman's proportion of tho earnings was not a fair\none.\nMr.  Harrod\nMr.   Harrod    spoke   briefly   and   mode\nFolks Past Fifty\nMust Use Cascarets\nWhat Glasses Are to Weak Eyes. Cascarets Are to Weak Bowels\u2014A 10-\nCent Box Will Truly Amaze\nYou\nMost old people must give to tho\nbowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condition Is\nperfectly (natural. It is Just as natural\nas lt is (for old people to walk slowly.\nFor age Is never so active as youth. The\nmuscles are less elastic. And the bowels\nare  muscles.\nSo all old people need Cascarets. One\nmight as well refuse to nld weak eyes\nwith glasses as to neglect this gentle\naid to weak bowels. The bowels must\nhe kept active. This Is Important at all\nages, hut never so much as at fifty.\nAgo Is not a time for harsh physics'.\nYouth may occasionally whip the bowels\nInto activity. But a lash cannot be used\nevery day. What the bowels of ilie old\nneed Ih a gentle and natural tonic. One\nthat can bo constantly used without\nharm.

Ho maintained that the British\nColumbia government had altered the\nwording of the act ho that the working-\nman did not get a fair deal. Me stated\nthat although fair wage clauses and\nwhite labor clauses had been Inserted in\nthe railroad contracts they had not heen\nenforced. He maintained also that\nJapanese ami Chinese wore still working\non railroad \u25a0construction In spite of the\nlaw. The Socialist was the choice of the\npeople \u25a0and he urged tlie audience to support  his  candidature.\nMr. Wilkinson complimented Nelson nn\ntlie enthusiasm shown. He had never\nseen such' enthusiasm during the course\n\"t ,l|iQj,Crtavpiiign..land.hq fully evented,\nthat Nelson would roll up a hig, majority\nfor the Socialist candidate. Tie was- glad\nto seo Mr. Wright ou tbe platform and\nadmired ids pluck. He Bald he would\nlike to have seen the Voters* Registration law altered so that a worklngman\ncould transfer his vote as he could his\ntrade union card.

Thus\nalthough the bodies of some of Iho\nmen were severely burned, yet the\nname wns Insufficient to Ignite pnpor\nwhich was found near the liodles. At\nthe point of origin a dinner can hanging on a prop was not unsoldered.\nThc level along which the flame trav-\nled was wot under fool and dump was\n\u25a0ill around. This again is proof that,\nis I have always contended, watering\ntho roadway will not control the extension of an explosion.\n\"This explosion, however, ought to\nteach a very practical lesson to all\nofficials In .charge of coal mines.\nnamely, to he particularly careful\nwhere mixed lights are used. In the\npresent case there is no doubt but that\nthe explosion was consequent upon\nono or both of the two miners using\ntheir open lights In preference to\nsafety lamps, with which they had\nbeen supplied.\n\"In addition to the danger of mixed\nlights In coal mines it also shows the\nwant of technical knowledge of miners\nof the Increased danger caused by the\naddition of small or ordinary percentage of coal dust to a percentage of\nfire damp in the air and which Is not\nIn Itself an explosive mixture.\"\nHe urges the provision for technical\nmining classes, under government direction and supervision, in all coal\nmining camps.\nPARLIAMENT  WILL  NOT\nPROROGUE   THIS   MONTH\nOTTAWA, Ont., March 25.\u2014It is\npractically certain that parliament will\nprorogue on Wednesday, April 4, all\nhope of busIncHs being disposed of in\ntime I'or an official winding up on\nSaturday next has been abandoned.\nThe supplementary estimates ou which\nlhe government put thc final touches\non Saturday have still to como down.\nThey will be pretty heavy and involving as thoy do several new matters\nof public polle'y will naturally cause\na good deal of discussion.

Tried medicines, but they failed,\nwas advised to try Dr. Morse's Indian\nRoot Pills, as tliey had cured my wife\nyears before. A few boxes affected a\ncomplete cure.

Currle, publicity commissioner, and appears in the current\nIssue:\n\"As a fine sample of a mixed bag,\nthe accompanying photograph from\nNelson, B. C, ls submitted. It represents the 'opening of the season' shoot\nof three well-known Nelson sportsmen,\nM. R. McQuarrie, A. Bishop and W. J.\nToye, and also illustrates ono of the\ncharms of life in the West Kootenay,\ntho overlapping of the fishing and\nfowling seasons.\n\"Messrs. McQuarrie, Bishop and\nToye left the city on September 1 ln\na launch, and on the third day were\nback with three Canada geese, three\nducks, 10 grouse, one cock-o'-thc-\nwoods (tho giant \"woodpecker), four\nKootenay lake trout (colloquially\ncalled salmon), about 20 rainbow trout\nand a rabbit. The Kootenay lake\ntrout, Salmo Kootenai Kamloops, were\ntaken with tho troll, and the rainbow\ntrout with the fly.\n\"Of course this Is not an extraordinarily large bag. Individual sportsmen who went to the Kootenay Flats\nlater on\u2014the Big Slough, as that 20-\nmlle stretch of shallow water is called\n\u2014brought into the *clty as many ns 00\nducks, for a few days' sport. On the\nwhole, however, this bag still has its\npoints. To anyone who knows thc\nKootenay lake trout a single specimen\nof that species Is proof of some sport.\n\"Apropos of this bag being secured\non a little launch trip, Nelson has a\nfleet of 125 motor boats. The West\nKootenay, with its three magnificent\nlake systems, fs an angler's and fowlers' paradise. As Nelson Is on the\nCrows Nest Pass route, and has eight\nrail and steamer routes to various\npoints in the territory, tho angler or\nfowler on tour Is assured of sport If\nhe bends his course to British Columbia's lake region.\"\nIt Has Been Proved\nThat Machela, Nature's Scalp Tonic,\nhas a record for growing hair\u201405\neases out of 100.

On Friday afternoon a strong delegation of\nAlberni men, representing tho residents of the old town and district,\nwaited upon President W. J. Kerr and\nSecretary P. W. Lueo In this city and\nurged upon theso officers the claims\nof their district.\nThe speakers for tho delegation\nwere L. B, Vandocar, F. B. Vandecar,\nJ. G. Cleary and F. R. Craig. These\ngentlemen supported their arguments\nfor the planting of the post fn tho old\ntown by producing maps and diagrams\ntending to show that this would bo\nto the advantage of tourists and travelers. Particular stress was laid on\nthe fact that tho old town of Alberni\nis on tho main highway, and that a\nnumber of good roads radiate from\nthis point, while Port Alberni Is tho\nterminus of the road, two miles distant from Alberni.\nThe attractive points which can bo\nreached by road from the old town\nof Alberni include Sproat lake, where\nPremier McBrldo, Attorney General\nBowser and several other well-known\nbusiness men havo camping homes;\nand the new National park, a beauty\npreserve containing 214 square miles\nthat has been described as eclipsing\nYellowstone Park In natural grandeur.\nTho Canadian highway from Nanaimo to Alberni is in flrst-elnss condition at the present timo, and this will\nbe still further Improved by tho expenditure of $75,000, this sum having\nbeen provided for In the estimates of\nthe department of public works.\nIn making the run from Alberni to\nNanaimo on the way to New Westminster Mr. Cleary covered the ground\nin two hours and 30 minutes, without\nusing skid chains. Ho says this is\nnot nn unusual time for this journey\nat this season of tho year.\nThe members of the Canadian Highway association in Port Alberni have\nbeen fn correspondence with President\nKerr regarding the planting of tlio\npost, and they have adduced many\narguments why this ceremony should\nbe performed in their city. It is not\nlikely that they will be satisfied to\ncarry on their compaign entirely by\ncorrespondence now that tho advocates of tho old town havo mado a\nspecial trip to the headquarters of thc\nCanadian Highway association for tho\npurpose of urging their claims ln person.\nTO   HANG  MURDERER\nOF  HUBBELL  FAMILY\nMARYVILLE, Mo., March 25.\u2014Arrangements havo been mnde for the\nexecution In the county jaol tomorrow\nHudson's Bay Stores\nIncorporated 1670\nIncorporated 1670\nThe Store Has Never Looked So Well.
