The trucks cost the\ncompany $2,827 each, allowing 10 per\ncent for overhead charges in the estimate of cost. For these trucks, as buyers for the government, he had the\ngovernment pay the company 13,500\neach,\nAf the afternoon sitting Mr. Russell\ncontinued his evidence, which dealt\nwith the second purchase of motor\ntrucks for the militia department.\nEarly In September last, he said. Gen,\nHughes called upon him to purchase\nbefore the departure of tlie first con-\ntingent 134 motor trucks, seven motor\ncars and 16 motor cycles. He read a\nletter from Gen. Hughes, dated Sept.\n2fi last, giving him instructions. Aa\nthe results of tests made Mr. Russell\nsaid he selected 19 Gramm, 25 Peerless,\n26 Jeffrey, 38 White and 25 Kelly motor trucks.\n\"Would it not have been \u2022better to\nhave trucks all of one make?\"\n\"Yes, but I could not get the number required from any ono company.\"\nNo Commission Paid.\nTbe Gramm trucks costs $1,600, less\n10 per cent discount; the Peerless,\nKelly, Jeffrey and White trucks cost\nthe American rice list, less 10 por cent,\nbut plus duty. This made the cost In\nCanada as follows: Peerless, $5,000;\nKelly, $4,700; White, $5,000; Jeffrey,\n$4,700. * !\nMr. Russell stated that neither he\nnor the Russell company received any\ncommission from the government In\nconnection with the purchase of these\ntrucks. Asked why a discount had\nbeen secured in connection with the\npurchase of these trucks when the first\n25 were bought at list prices, Mr. Russell said that on account of the larger\norder he had secured a discount of 10\nper cent,\n\"Was McQuarrle associated with you\nin the purchase of this second lot of\ntrucks?\"\n\"No, he had gone to Valcartler and\nwas busy there.\"\nAsked as to the present whereabouts\nof McQuarrle, the witness said ho was\nnow sales agent for the Russell company in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.\nSir Charles remarked that his evidence\nmight be necessary.\nWitness said that he had only 20\ndays in which to purchase and deliver\nthe trucks required.

A. WUllson in a cablo from\nLondon.\nThe battle of Givenchy will live In\nCanadian history, not only on account\nof tho bravery displayed by tho\nbrigade nnd ibe capture of so many\nlines of German trenches, but also be\ncause it was a glorious illustration of\nthe, spirit dominating tlio whole Canadian division. The Canadian general\nstaff had decided that tbe 3rd brigade\nshould conduct the operations. They\nhad appointed the 48th Highlanders to\nlead the attack. The 48th took the advanced trenches and the officers spent\ntwo days in reconnolterlng the posi\ntion.\nHonor for 1st Brigade\nThe 1st brigade learned of the Intentions of headquarters. The com\nniandlng officers protested to Gen.\nAldersnn that the 3rd brigade was be\nIng given too much dangerous work\nand pressed their demand that the 1st\nbrigade be permitted to lead the\ncharge. Their petitions prevailed. The\norders were changed. The 3rd brigade, In the advanced trenches, was\nrelieved by tbe 1st brigade, the 1st\nbattalion being given the honor of\nleading the charge against the German trenches, Canada already knows\nhow splendidly they and the other battalions of the 1st brigade did their\nwork. '\nCaptured German Howitzer\nA feature at the Canadian National\nexhibition this ycar will be a German\nhowitzer, captured by the 48th Highlanders. I learn, on official authority,\nthat the permission of the British war\noffice has been secured to send the\nexhibit to Canada.\nCol. Currie, commander of the famous 48th Highlanders, is leaving England for Canada almost immediately\non orders of the militia department.\nHo will spend a month in the Dominion directing tho training of the new\nbattalions and lecturing, etc., following the system adopted by the British\nwar office, which sent so many efficient officers hack from France during the winter to train the new\narmies.\nCol. Currio's Suggestions\nCol. Currie is strongly In favnr nf\nan interchange of officers of the 1st\nand 2nd Canadian divisions, contending that those officers who were\nwounded at Ypres, and who are now\nconvalescent, would materially\nstrengthen the 2nd division, while the\nofficers whose place they took could\nbe sent to France to replace thoBe In\nthe 1st division. He also strongly advises an Interchange of regiments\nwhen both divisions are established In\nFrance. New regiments of the 2nd\ndivision could be brigaded with old\nregiments of the 1st division, and vice\nversa, so that tho high level of efficiency established by tbo 1st division\ncould be maintained In the whole\nCanadian force and the 2nd division\nbe fit that much earlier to take theli\nplaces In the firing line.\n\"Did any man ever kiss you before\nI did?\" he asked.\n\"Yes, dear.'\nI \"Tell me his name that I\nthrash him.\"\n\"I'm afraid, Algernon, that tie might\nhe too many for you,\"\nmay\nDenies Norris and Associates Were Behind Acceptance of $50,000 Bribe\nOffered in Manitoba.\n\"WINNIPEG, July 7\u2014Willlam Cham-\n\u25a0bers, the man alleged by ex-Attorney\nGoneral Howden to be the representative of the Liberal party In the negotiations looking to the dropping of certain election protests in Manitoba, was\nthe principal witness on the stand at\nthe session of tho Fullerton commission today, Tho Conservative negotiator in the affair, G. M. Newton, also\nbegan his evidence which will be continued tomorrow.\nChambers declared at the outset that\nIn tlio negotiations he had with Mr.\nHowden and Newton he had acted\nwholly without instructions from anyone in the Liberal party.\nMr. Howdcn's evidence was Intended\nto show tbe plan as having originated\nwith Chambers but Chamibers declared\nNewton had been the first to 'broach\nit, having come to him and asked him\nif anything could be done in the way\nof having the protests dropped. Chambers had treated the matter as a joke\nat first and had said it would take\n$50,000 to reimburse the Liberals for\ntheir expenditures tn connection with\ntho protests.\nChambers, ho said, had taken it literally and had thought the amount\ntoo much but came back later and offered $25,000. The witness said he had\nnot promised anything but said that he\nwould try to have the protests called\noff. He insisted that the $50,000 be\nin sight before he made an attempt\nat making any arrangement, This sum\nwas raised and in sight but before\nany money was paid over to him events\ntranspired which mudc it seem less\npossLble than ever to maintain the government's majority and Howden had\ntold Chambers that he would only advance $25,000. Chambers finally agreed\nto try and carry out the matter for\nthis sum.\nChambers declared he was careful to\ngive the Liberal leader no hint as to\nany arrangements which he, Chambers, had mado.\nHe had mentioned nothing of his\nnegotiations with Howden and had not\nbreathed a word about any money consideration.\nWhen the money was paid over to\nhim It was brought to Chambers' office In a valise and he put the money\nin his pocket and took it home.\nBeing unsuccessful with Mr. Norris,\nChambers said he tried to return it,\n\u25a0but Mr. Howden refused to take It\nhack. Chambers also had an Interview\nwith Thomas Kelly, who had led him\nto believe by inference that the money\nwas his (Kelly's,) He tried to get\nNewton to take It and he also refused.\nFinally he took the money to iNew-\nton's home and left It there. Mr. Fullerton questioned the witness closely\nas to deposits and withdrawals tn his\nhank account of sums totalling over\n$7000, which Chamibers explained by\nstating that the money was given him\nto do as he wished with and he had\nused a little but replaced it. Fullerton\nconceded this was right, but said what\nhe wanted to know was whether Chambers had paid any of this money which\npassed through his hands tu aiiyonu\nin connection with election protests.\nOn Mr. Newton taking the stand he\ntold of the negotiations between himself and Chambers, to whom he had\nmentioned that some hotelkeepers were\ntrying to settle the petitions resulting\nfrom the election In, Kildonan and St.\nAndrew's.\nChambers said: \"Understrappers can\nnot arrange things of that kind.\" Newton had pursued the ,matter to find\nout Chambers' idea on the point and\ntho latter had said that for $50,000- he\nthought he could settle all the protests,\n'Then followed the interviews with\nMr. Howden until the deal had 'been\narranged, the money raised and deposited nnd $25,000 handed over, by\niNewton to Chambers, under Howden's\nInstructions. Newton's examination\nwill continue tomorrow.\nAn important witness at the morning\nsession was Chief Justice Howell, who\ntold of the negotiations regarding the\ninstitution of a civil suit against Kelly\nand the temporary dropping of the\nroyal commission's investigation, and\nhis own part in the matter.\nty\u00ae$><&Q>Q>tytytytytyty<&tytytyty\nty MACHINE GUNS ty \\\n BEAT SHELLS <\u00a7> !\n<\u00a7>\u00aeQ><$>\u00ae\u00a7\u00ae\u00ae\u00ae\u00aetyQ\u00a7\u00ae\u00aetytyty\nWriting from the front under date\nof June 10 to Rev. A. Logan Geggle of\nToronto, his nephew, Sergt.-Major\nThomas Geggle, K.O.S.B., says in part:\nThe war doesn't wage much rounft j\nhere these last few days. A lull of\nthis sort suggests to those who don't\nknow the Idea that tne Boche has forever given up the thought of captur- i\nIng the poor old battered town which\nwe defend. The wisest of us are oiling the mechanism of our guns and insisting upon tho necessity for the\nstrengthening of parapets.\nThe country outside the area where\nshells fall, Is looking Al. One of the\npressing needs of this stricken land\nis wheat, and great endeavors have\nbeen made to meet tho requirements.\nAlready it Is four feet high In places.\nAlmost every field is under cultivation,\n'The plow has even penetrated to districts quite rightly termed unhealthy.\nWholesome admiration of the peasants so engaged is not prevalent among\nartillerymen. There Is too often justified suspicion that the most heroic\ntillers of the soil are merely cogs in\ntbo great wheel of German espionage.\nMany a field battery has paid dearly\nfor the diligence of an adjacent plowman.\nAn artillery officer near Ypres he-\ncame mildly interested In the laying\nout of the weekly washing of a nearby farm. The world over such a job\nis usually done by a woman. In this\ninstance it was a he-male and the linen\nwas carefully laid on the graHs bo that\na white line pointed to a small clump\nof trees where our guns were concealed. The \/man Was quietly arrested, a dummy battery hastily erected along a hedge some distance off !\nand the washing carefully \"spotted\"\nfor the German gunners on the dummies. Of course the evidence is not\naltogether convincing but In time of\nwar one mustn't take chances.\nI was struck hy something you said\nin your last letter about the Canadian\nsoldiers terming the machine gun\nteam the suicide club. As a matter of\nfact the idea is entirely erroneous, I\nknow the facts concerning my own\nbattalion and hy comparing notes with\nfellows of other corps I am convinced\nthat proportionately casualties are\nfewer with the gun teams than with\nmen fighting in their platoons. Maxims\nfight infantry and with anything like\ni favorable position, the maxims start\n'odds-on\"\nThe present discussion raging round\nthe question of \"Shrapnel or High Explosive?\" Is apt to lead one away from\nthe real fact that the deadliest weapon in this deadly war is the machine\ngun. Shrapnel and rifle fire ts mostly\nwasted. High explosive is noisy and\ndemoralizing hut does comparatively\nlittle as a death dealer. The machine\ngun stops almost anything.\nWe started out on this Job with two\nper 'battalion, I can almost believe\nthat had we possessed six per company the German avalanche would\nhave stopped at Mons. It was believed\nin the pre-war days that no more than\ntwo guns could he fed. Our people\nwent down on the question of ammunition supply. The heroic tricks of our\nammunition carriers seem to have been\naltogether unexpected. If your Canadian boys want to nominate a real\n\"suicide club\" hand the designation to\nthe ammunition carriers. Conversationally the most of us could tell some\nfine tales of how the needful arrived.\nA hattallon of our brigade had a\nman shot for desertion. Silly young\ndevil, against whom there was no suspicion of cowardice, he found a greater\nattraction in a local 'pub., than In the\ntrenches; and so aa an example, the\ndeath penalty. I am taking off my hat\nto the regimental -chaplain. The\nyoungster was notified about 5 p.m.\nthat he was to he shot at 5 next morn-\nln The narrative of the sergeant-\nmajor is something like this: \"About\n11 o'clock (at night) I thought I would\nwalk over to the guard hut and see\nhow the kid was sticking it; had a look\nin and walked away with my heart in\nmy mouth. Our parson had -brought\nhis own blankets across to the guard\nroom and when I had a look In the\ntwo of them were lying sound asleep,\nlike a mother and h\u00ab- baby.\" There\nwere other details I cannot write here;\nbut I must say again, I take my hat\n[Off to that parson.\n I,**; thursdav, julv 8, ms. n\nCfre \u00a9attp $rt\u00bbs\n1*0****4\n>*****\nNATIONAL LEAGUE\n***********\nEWHITE SOX CROWi\nD\nI Chicago Only Two Points' Ahsad of\nBoston\u2014Yankees Break Even\n,; With Athletics.\n\":'?*' League Standing.\nWon\niLost\nPet.\n26\n.644\n24\n,\u00ab42\n28\n.627\n86\n.n-nn\n86\n.471\n42\n.382\nPhiladelphia 27\n44\n.380\nCleveland 24\n43\n.358\n(By Daily New.* Leased Wire.)\n\u25a0 .NEW YORK, July 7.\u2014The Philadelphia.

Tho executive of tbe international body has announced that nn action regarding the\nOlympic games has been or will be\ntaken by the supreme organization\nduring the Continuance of the European war.\nHe states that the members of tho\ncommittee consider it improper at this\nlime to think of the preparation for\napproaching fetes and that they will\ntake part in no discussions relative to\nsuch events. Baron de Coubertln\ntakes occasion lo deny that there is\nany truth in the reports that the\nOlympic games will be transferred to\nsome nation not now engaged in conflict. The sole object of Iho committee at Ibis time, he says, is to pursue\nits work of improving the physical development nf young men.\nThat European sportsman hold the\nIden thnt thero will he no Olympic\nmoot prior to 1 ftl!0 is indicated by the\ninslstancy with which the Belgian\ncommittee, backed by the government\nmaintains Ihe right of Belgium to tbo\ngames of if)20.

Gamo after\ngame has been played this season in\nwhich two or three pitchers have oeen\nused on one side, whon there was no\nroason for switching slabmen, excepL\nto slip in a pinch hitter.\n\"Even the name for a substitute is a\nmisnomer now. 'Pinch' in 'baseball used\nto mean a tight place, where the issue\nof the gome depended on the work of\nthe batsman or the pitcher. A pinch\nhitter used to bo called Into action with\nrunners on third and second, two out,\nand tho score so close that tho two\nrunners would win or tie it. But today\npitchers are taken* out with nobody on\n\u25a0bases, merely in the hope they will be\nable to start something.\n\"Occasionally is happens that a bench\nwarmer substituted for a pitcher will\ncrack out a hit that will break up the\ngame. Such occasions are commented\non nnd always remain in memory. No\nono has kept track of the hundreds of\ntimes when pinch hitters have failed to\ndo anything: at all. For every time a\nsubstitute has broken up a game you\ncan find, a game In which the pitcher\nhimself has surprised every one with\n1\u00ab hit.\" , . .,.-,^jiir,r. .'\nI BOXERS MUST HAVE GRIT\n| TO GET SUCCESS IN RING\n.No matter how brilliant, scientific\nand elassy a boxer may bo, ho can\nnever become a champion, or even a\nnear-champion, if he has not the heart\nof it lion in the ring.\nHow often I have witnessed wonderfully elevL'r boxer spar like world-\nboaters in a bout in a gymnasium, displaying nil the artistic skill of past\nmasters of tbe manly art, but when\nthey were put to the real fighting lest,\nwith a worthy opponent in the ring,\nhow they havo gone to pieces and havo\ntaken to tho tali timbers, simply because they lacked the genuine grit\nand tenacity of a gruelling battler, says\nJack Skelly.\nA boxer may have a splendid phy-\nsirfito, with lightning speed, marvelous\nhitting powers, superb genernlsbip and\nscience,,and every other required qualification1 for the make-up of a great\nfighter, Itiil If he lacks real gametics?\nhe'll never shine in the ring,\nMany fighters of only ordinary fistic\nability have fought their way to the j\nfront ranks by their supremo aggros\nsivoness and courage alone.\nFRENCH PUGILIST PASSES\nAVIATOR'S EXAMINATION\nLato'reports from Kurope give some\nInteresting accounts of the activities\nof several famous athletes and 'boxers\nIn th0 war zones, Georges Carpentier,\ntbo French heavyweight champion, has\npassed his examination as an air pilot\nand is now a member of the French flying corps, Notwithstanding the numerous reports of his injury or capture,\nCarpentier has so far escaped unscathed during his apprentice service.\nOther athletes of international fame\nwho are with the colors include Pietro\nDorando, the marathon runner, who\ngavo Johnny Hayes a terrific race in\nthe Olympic games marathon at London In 1908, now a member of the\nItalian automobile corps;' Ernest Barry, England's world champion professional sculler, is serving with English\ntroops; Marlgnan and Thofal, two of\ntho West known French boxers, are\nconvalescing from sorlous wounds received In battle, and tho list might bo\ncontinued almost indefinitely.\u2014Butte\nMinor.\nDANVILLE BEATS PHOENIX.\n(Special to The Daily News.)\nPHOENIX, lil.C, July 7.\u2014Tho Phoenix 'baseball team was again defeated\nby the Danville nine on Sunday at\nRepublic.

Roughen\na spot on the surface no bigger than\na dime, If you wish, and place it in\nthe hand of a pitcher with only ordinary speed and still more ordinary\ncurves. Instantly your pitcher be-\ncomes more formidable than Waller\n.lolinson or Christy Mathewson, and\nbo has an article of goods which the\ngreatent batsmen in the world can't\nfathom. Ho becomes an \"emery ball\"\npitcher.\nTho latest addition to the baseball\ncategory of freak terms is still Greek\nto most fans. It is only lately that\nthe expression has crept Into news\npaper eolumns,. although the 'thing\nwhich it describes has been known to\ntbe wiseaores of baseball for the last\nthree or four yoars. Russell Pord Is\nsaid to he tbo Miseoverer of the new\nfooler. In an conlidontal inond lie\npassed the secret on to two or three\nother pitchers and in the same manner it reached \"Skcelcr\" Fanning,\nwho introduced it. into Coast league\nsociety.\nUse Is Frowned On\nBut the sad thing to be noted In\nconnection with tho \"emery hall\" is\nthat its use is frowned on. In tho\nArhoricnn association there is a rule\nthat any pitcher detected using the\nlatest member of the deception family\nwill be fined $100 and .suspended for\nSO days. As far as it is known, this\nis tho only league to take official action wth regard to the \"emery ball,\"\nalthough all umpires have been, in-,\nstructed to maintain a. close watch I\nagainst Its use. j\nThe now twister gets its name from\nthe fact that the roughened surface\nwas first produced by massaging i\nsmall spot with a piece of sandpaper\nIt was discovered lhat the act made\nthe horsehlde perform gyrations which\nit had never boon known to perform\nbefore. It needs to be thrown only\nwith ordinary speed and comes up\nto the plate straight and true, and\nlooking as fat as a balloon tn tho\nbatsman.\nBreaks Suddenly Near Plate\nNow, here is what it does. 'When\nwithin a foot or two of the plate it\nbreaks suddenly and goes up or down\naccording to the way it was thrown,\nalmost perpendicularly. The .lump Is\ngenerally from S to 10 inches, when\nit breaks suddenly again and shoots\nright across the plato. No batsman in\ntho world can gnge it. It may go\nup or down, or the pitcher may make\nit take a. side motion, and unless the\ncatcher is aware of what's coming and\ntlie direction it will take, he's as helpless as the batsman.\nThe element ot n.ingor to the batsman Is the reason why the new hall\nIs looked upon with disfavor. It\nbreaks so fast that he has no chance\nof stopping out of the way should he\nhappen to got in tbo road. That and\nthe policy which seems to favor making the pitcher's lot as difficult ns\npossible. If the bait happened to be\nhigh and thrown to break toward the\nplate, there'd be no escape for the\nbatter, lie would get as nice a bean-\ning as if some one stood- over bis\nhead and pounded, away with u club.\nMNOT\n0,(0\nPAGE HfflEE\nPILFER\nMADE IN CANADA\nBERMUDA\nJfirSOi\nSALISBURY\nZtor25\u00a3\nCOLLARS\n\u2122* WILLIAMS.

We\nquote the following written after an\ninterview with the emperor:\n\"A man of middle size, silting constrainedly and bolt upright; a dead\nyellow skin, hard pencilled brows, n\nstraight, masterful chin, lips jammed\nclose together under a dark moustache\npointing straight upward to tlie whites\nof his eyes.\n\"A face at once repulsive and pathetic, so harsh nnd stony was it, so\ngrimly solemn.

II separates ihe Italian\nnnd nullum peninsulas as far aa Brln-\nuisl .\u25a0mil the lowet asl of Albania,\n111.1 ends at the Strnil or Otrnnto, hy,\nwhich It communicates with tbe Ionian sen. Its average width Is 110 utiles.\nbut the islands of the Dalmatian and\nIstrian coasts decrease this average te\nabout 00 tulles. Tlio sea is very deep,\nvarying from 500 feet In moro Minn\n5,oOii feet in its southern area.\nTho Austrian, or eastern, coast is\nbroken, strewn with fine harbors nnd\nlined wilh numerous rod; islands which\nbelong to Istria anil Dalmatin. Tills\neastern coast is of great naval and\ncommercial value, well formed for the\nupbuilding of great, thriving trade\npints, and, by reason of its almost continuously mountainous shores, Us deep\ngull's and bnys nnd its screening fringe\nof rooky Islands, advantageously defended. -The western or Italian coast,\non Ihe other hand, is lOW.snndy and almost unbroken. Il lacks good harbors\nami offers few natural tidvnntnges for\ndefense.\nTho commercial Importance 6f the\nAdriatic sea through the Dark Ages\nand the Middle Ages was great. This\nimportance was somewhat Impaired by\ntho opening of tbe all-sea route to India and by Iho determined growths of\nthe Dutch and English merchant marines. With Iho opening ot Ihe Kuez\ncanal and the commercial nnd industrial awakening of Italy and Austria-\nHungary tho Adriatic regained much\nnf Its oitl-time significance. The most\nimportant commercial points are Tri- j\neste, Venice, Fiumo.Ancona and llrin-\ndlsi. Venice nnd Trieste at tbe head of\ntho Adriatic, arc the two foremost cities.\nOwing lo Ihe system of screening\nmountains Ihe Adriatic receives but\nliltlo 'drainage. There are only two\nrivers of any considerable size lhat\nemplv Into ii, the Ailige and tho l'o.\nThe water of this sea is therefore, very\nsallv. Navigation is generally safe, although there are some dangerous\npoints upon the eastern const, and sudden norlhly squalls often lash the waters with terrific forco against tho\nrock-bound const.\nTbo principal gulfs of Ihe Adriatic\nare thoso of Manfredonlo, on the\nwest; Venice and Trieste on tho\nnorth, and Quarnero, nn tho northeast.\nThere aro numerous and admirable\nl.ny harbors, extending loin Flume and\nculminating in tbe wonderful landlocked harbor, the Poeehc, di Cnttaro.\nTho Strait ot Otrantn, where Italy approaches nearest to the Balkan mainland. Is 45 miles wide. Here Is the\nmagnificent Albanian harbor, Avlona,\nover which Italy aspires to rule.\n \u00ab> \/)> S> \u00abj *<* 4 '\u2022> <\u2022> -\u00bb \u00ab *\u00ab.\u00ab\u00ab\u2022**\u00ab. \u00ab\"S> *>\u00ab' e>\n(From Popular Magazine.)\nOno of the surprises of this war to\nthe world at large is the wonderful\nsolidnrlty of the British Empire, as\nevidenced In the action of its constituent parts.

We want, to hold up\nour end.

This ore cointained 7.06U.S0II\npounds, valued at ?.39!t,302 at the. New\nYork average prlco of 5.G48 cents per\npound. Tbe greater part of this ore\nwas produced in British Columbia,\nImports of zinc in 1913 amounted to,\nfor zinc in sheets, 8,341 tons, while\nzinc, li,341 tons, together valued at\n$a^5,G43. Manufactures of zinc valued\nat $54,808; zinc dust, iiOti tons, valued\nat ?:i(),i03, and sulphate and chloride\nof zinc, 317 tons valued at 517,424. Tola] tonnage, 15,628, valued at (024,868.\n\"The rapid Increase in tho consumption of zinc is shown by tho following\nfigures: Imports in 1880, 744 tons;\n1889, 1,427 tons; 1899, 1,210 tons, and\nin 1909, 4,110 tons. In 1913 Belgium produced 217,941 short tons, France and\nSpain, 78,293; Germany, 311,914, and\nPoland, 9,520, tho total being C17.6GS\nshort tons, which is 56 per cent of the\ntotal production of the world, which\nwas 1,103,350 short tons. Tho world\nconsumption was 1,066,310 tons, so that\nin a normal year the consumption Is\nalmost canal to tbe supply. The production of zinc from the countries hero\nnamed is likely t0 be small for some\nyears after peace is declared, so that\nprobabilities point to continued high\nprices for some timo.\nResult of French Process Test.\n\"General results from tho operation\nof experimental plant for the treatment\not zinc ores by the French process at\nthe Standard silver-lead mines, at Silverton, have been announced. The ore\ntreated was talllings from tho concentrator running from 25 to 35 per cent\nin zinc, with small values in silver and\nlend. The. extraction was 90 per cent\nof tbe zinc contents. The residue was\n45 per cent in weight of tho original\nore, so that the consequent enriching\nin silver and lead, and the elimination\nof nearly all the zinc left it of sufficiently high value to be treated at a\nsmelter, with returns to the shippers.\nAs the oies treaied could not have been\nshipped to a smelter with profit the\nestablishment ot a plant ot commercial\n(By a Metallurgical Engineer.)\nConsiderable interest has been created among mining men by the trial of\nthe \"French\" process by the Standard\nSilver-Lead Mining company at Silverton. A quantity of their ore of a\nparticularly difficult composition was\ntreated and at the end of the trial,\nwhich terminated a few days ago, the;\nmanagement of the Standard company\nhave expressed themselves as extremely well satisfied with the results. The1\nthanks of the community are due to\ntlio Standard company for the public\nspirited way in which they have spent\na considerable sum of money lo afford,\na proof of the success of the process\nand file liberal way in which they,\nhavo made the results known to all\ntheir neighbors.\nTlie British nnd Canadian govern\nments are at present investigating the\n.resources of Canada with a. view to'\nestablishing a zinc smelter and to\nutilize the untold millions of tons of\nore which abounds in tills district. The\ndifficult of treating these ores, how\never, lies in their complexity and low\ncontent of zinc. There have been no\nlarge bodies of straight zinc ore opened up so far in the Kootenays nnd\nwithout very high grade ore such as\nexists in Missouri and other places in\nthe Unltel States to mix wilh the zinc\nconcentrates produced here, it is impossible to smelt our zinc concentrates\nprofitably. To establish a zinc smelting works here is out of the question,\nfor zinc ores require at least twice\ntheir weight of coal to smelt and it is\ncheaper, therefore, to lake the ore to\ntbe coalfields.\nWhen all the deductions for duty,\nfreight, penally on iron, lime, lead, etc.,\naro considered, the making of zinc\nconcentrates is not a very profitable\nbusiness. It may not bo generally\nknown that even in Missouri, where\ntho ore Is specially adapted to concentration, that only 50 per cent nt the\nzinc in the \"mill feed\" is obtained as\nmetallic zinc by the smelter. To quote\na recent report of the United States\nbureau of mines: \"Tlie average recovery of hlendo from ores In milling\nis about 60 to 65 per cent. The average loss, therefore, in the concentration of the zinc ores .Is 35 to 40 per\ncent. When tho heavy losses in the\nsmelting of zinc ores are included, the\ntotal loss in tho production of zinc\nfrom the ore in the mine up to tho\ncommercial product reaches nearly 50\nper cent.\"\nKootenay Ores Complex\nThe Kootenay ores are much more\ndifficult to concentrate and there are\nvery few of the mines which can show\na saying of over 60 per cent of tho\nzinc in their ores by concentration not\ncounting the 20 per cent loss which is\nquite common in smelting. This\nhowever, js not all. ' The zinc invariably contains silver in largo quantity\nand its proportion is lost In the zinc In\nIhe tailings. As a matter of fact, after\nall deductions' are made, the miner\nhere is lucky if he gets the value of the\nsilver in his concentrates and nothing\nat all for the zinc from the\nsmelter.\nliver since the introduction of the\ndynamo for the deposition of metal\nendeavors have been made to dopes]\nzinc eloctrolytically. All such endonv\nors until recently met with failure ox\ncept in one instance.

The\ntotni production of copper in Canada\non the basis of smelter recovery from\nores treated was 70,976,023 pounds, valued, on the basis 0f the average' New\nYork priee, at \u00a711,753,606, of which\nBritish Columbia produced 46,460 305\npounds. The production from the vari,\nous districts of British Columbia was\nNelson, 815,126 pounds; Trait, 2,r>38,\nCGI pounds; Boundary, 28,621973\npounds; the coast, 14,443,793\nand Kamloops, Cariboo,\nCassla'r, 310,752 pounds.'\n\"It will thus ibe seen that nearly\nhalf of the present production of Canada is from the Koolenay-Boundnrv\nUi.slricts, ami It would be inferred that\nthis factor would be of importance in\ndetermining the location of the proposed refinery for copper, the other\nfacto,- being the supply 0f electric en-\nery on favorable terms and in sufficient quantity. The committee finds\nthat the province of Ontario in 1007\npassed an act granting a ihountv of 1%\ncents per pound on refined copper refined in that province, The comm'lttee\nwill place these facts before the hoard\nwithout recommendation.\n\"The committee 'has received a letter\nfrom the provincial department ot\nlands regarding Kootenay Flat redam\natlnn, which will .be forwarded to tin\nboard. A letter Jits also been receiv\ned from the acting secretary of the advisory board of Women's institutes\nasking that a list of local and provincial manufacturers be furnisheoVthe institutes for circulation with the object\nof promoting tho purchase of goods\nmanufactured in this province. The\ncommittee recommend that a copy of the\nlist recently prepared by the committee be forwarded.\n\"Correspondence has been received\non prices of sugar at various points in\nwestern Canada, but the committee have\nso far no time to compile schedule of\ncomparison of prices.\n\"The committee note with satisfaction that owing to the publicity given\nby the committee to tho existence of\ndeposits of molybdenite at Burnt Flat,\nSalmo, that this property has 'been taken over under bond and is 'being developed energetically. This develop-\nment will lead to quite a largo ex-i\npenditure ot money in the dJatrlci't\nland, use an electrolytic process for\nthe production of chlorine gas, in\nwhich they obtain zinc as a by-product. This process, however, is not\napplicable to the extraction of zinc\nfrom complex ores.\nThe reason for tlie failure of all previous processes is thai (here, is no\nanode that can be employed commercially that will withstand tlie action of\nthe electric current without being\nrapidly destroyed. Carbon or graphite\nanodes will not do, and. with lead the\naction Is smilar io that in an accumulator cell; the lead rapidly becomes\nperdxid-ized*' and disintegrates. Zinc\nalso is tlie most electro positive of all\nthe common metals and therefore the\nmost difficult to deposit in a pure\ncohditon. In consequence, most experimenters have obtained only a use\nless sludge of zinc on account of its\ncontamination with other metals which\ndeposit more readily than zinc. The\ncurrent comsumptinu is very largo and\ngenerally the difficulties have been In\nsupcrable.\nThe \"French\" Process\nBriefly, the '.'French\" process eon\nsists in the use of a solution of bisul-\nphate of soda, which is a cheap waste\nproduct, and.a small quantity of manganese\u2014an, ingredient which occurs\nwith most zinc ores, Bisulphate of\nsoda dissolves tbe zinc from the roasted ore almost instantaneously. Along\nwith the managancso in solution it\ncompletely prevents the anodes from\nbeing affected and after years of constant use they,are as good today as at\nthe beginning. This solution also has\nvery little resistance to the passage\nof the electric current in the electrolytic vats and tlie consumption of current Is thus lowered. It has also the\npeculiarity of throwing out of solution practically alt tho impurities\nwhich usually contaminate the zinc,\nEarly h, 1912 the Consolidated Mining & Smelting company of Canada\nacquired the solo rights for the use\nof this process in Canada. It was only\ntoward the end of last year that they\nhad partially erected a plant of somewhat large dimensions, nnd after they\nbad produced a few tons of zinc, the\ncontract between French's company\nand them was cancelled on account of\ndisagreement and alleged violation of\ncontract.\nPlant at Silverton\nA demonstrating plant was then\nerected by the .Standard Silver-Lead\nMining company on a large enough\nscale to thoroughly prove that the process would work equally well on a\nvery large sca'le. It comprised two\ncompletely equipped dissolving vats,\neach capable of dealing with 2,500\npounds of liquor at a time and about\n1,000 pounds of ore. Tbe zinc-dcplet\ned liquor containing bisulphate of sod)\nfrom the electrolytic vat is pumped\ninto tho upper of these two vats.\nThere are thep added from 700 to 1,00Q\npounds of roasted ore from .whi^h., Hip\nzinc has been partially extracted An a\nprevious\" operation. In about an hour\nsolution of the zinc is finished and\nwhen the liquor has settled for a short\ntime it is allowed, to run down into\nthe second dissolver, placed at a lower\nlevel, The sludge remaining in the.\nbottom of the djssolver is (lien pump\ned through a filter press tn remove the\nwater and the residue contains all the\nsilver and lead.\nAs tbe Sulphur to the extent of over\n20 per cent has been driven off in the\nmasting operation and zinc to the\namount of about 30 per cent has been\nextracted; the residue of the ore, of\nwhich a large quantity was treated,\nonly weighed about 45 per cest of the\noriginal ore used. As it contained all\nthe silver and lead originally in the\nmasted ore, the percentage of these\nmetals was more than doubled. For\ninstance, the ore treated had 31 per\ncent zinc, 3.5 per cent lead and 32\nounces of silver per ton. The zinc depleted residue contained 76 ounces\nsilver per ton and 8.7 per cent lead,\nand 92 per cent of the zinc had been\ntaken out, I.e., '2.7 per cent of the zinc\ncounted on the original ore used was\nleft in the residue. This residue is\nnow ready for smelting or other treatment for the recovery of its lead and\nsilver In the usual way.\nTo the liquor which has been run\ndown Into the' second dissolver\nquantity of roasted ore is again added\nto neutralize tile bisulphate of soda,\nAs soon as this has taken place the\nliquid settles very rapidly to a clear\nsolution, which is pumped through a\nclarifying filter press, and is then\nready to have its zinc deposited In the\nelectrolytic vats.\nlhat required for a*'zinc smelter ofthe\nsame capacity. To deal with all the\nores in this district some millions of\ndollars would be required for the plant\nalone.\nOres of almost any grade above 10\nper cent zinc can be treated equally\nwell, but naturally the cost of treatment for an ore with a larger zinc content is less. As an example, an ore\ncontaining 24 per cent zinc, 24 per\ncent lead and 20 ounces silver per ton\nmay be taken. Almost any of the\nmines can supply this or a better grade\nby picking or slight concentration\nwithout much loss of values. Taking\nzinc at 5 ctftits per.pound, the lowest\nprice at which it is possible for an\nordinary zinc smelter to work, and allowing freight on metallic zinc as far\nas Europe or China; lead at-\u00a320 per\nton (London), and silver at 50 cents\nper ounce, and deducting ample costs\nfor treatment, depreciation, management and royalty, the miner would receive for his ore about $18.50 per ton.\nIt is only necessary to deduct cost of\nmining, picking the ore and freight to.\ndetermine the net amount per ton the\nminer would receive for his ore, i.e., In\nthe neighborhood of $15 per ton. For\na supply of 500 tons of ore;per day\nthe net benefit to the miners would\namount1 to upward or $2,500,000 p\"er\nannum.\nMay we hope that this is the dawn\nof the new era of prosperity in store\nfor the mining Industry of tbe Koote*\nELECTRIC LIGHTED MINES.\nModern Methods Have Driven Out the\nSafety Lamp.\nIn some of the more progressive and\nlarger mines, the miner's lamp 'has become a thing of the past. In its stead\ntho dark passages and work chambers\nare illuminated by electricity. The\nmines are wired and lighted with all\nthe luxurious effectiveness of the. modern home. Besides making their underground employment less oppressive\nto the miners, the illuminated mine offers considerable advantage in the way\nof better work and less exposure to\ndanger. |\nWith motor operated coal cars, a\ntelephone system and instruments for\nthe detection of gas danger, the up-to-\ndate 'nine is decidedly a more pleasurable place to work in than of old. In\norder to make the lighting more thorough the walls of the permanent passages, of the offices, of the entries, and,\nwhere mules are used, of the mule sta\nbles, are frequently whitewashed, Only!\ntungsten filament lamps are * usedX\nWeather proof enameled reflectors artj|\nemployed for the. distribution of light.\nThe problem of lighting the mines,!\nhowever, is difficult, presenting all tha|\nconditions which the Illuminating engU\nneer looks upon with disfavor\u2014low, I\nblack ceilings, black wathvdust, smoke]\nand dampness.\u2014Chicago News.\nDIFFICULTY IN TRACING\nWOUNDED CANADIANS)\nLONDON.\u2014The difficulty of tracing j\nwounded Canadians Is becoming greater as their numbers increase.

The\nvictory of the Marne remains the outstanding success of the allies' campaign thus far, and the official orders\nwith which General Joffre directed the\nmovement as they now appear in the\nBulletin Des Armees, will form an important part in the history of the conflict. Hitherto that history has lacked\ndetail as to the parts which each army\nwas to play.\nIn addition to the formal orders, a\ndramatic feature of the preparations is\nthe text of General Joffre's appeal to\nthe devotion of the troopH, which, the\nBulletin Des Armees says, was taken\nwrongly for a tactical order. It urged\ncourage upon the soldiers to stand still\nand be shot rather than retire an inch\nIn face of the German advance.\nThe documents now published begin\nwith General Joffre's order of Aug. 25,\nas follows:\n\"1. The projected offensive maneuver not having been possible of execution, the subsequent operations will\nbe regulated so as to reconstitute on\nour left, by the Junction of the fourth\nand fifth armies of English forces and\nnew forces taken from the region of\nthe cast, a mass capable of resuming\nthe offensive, while the other armies\nwill resist the effortB of the enemy during thc time that may be necessary.\n\"The retiring movement is regulated\nso as to realize the following disposition of troops preparatory to the offensive:\n\"In the region of Amiens a new\ngroup of forces, constituted by elements (transported by railroad (7th\ncorps, 4th division of reserve and perhaps another corps of the active army)\ngrouped from the 27th 0f August to the\n2nd of September. This group will he\nready to take the offensive In the general direction of Saint-Pol-Arras or\nAssas-Bapuume.\n\"The same general instructions of the\n22nd of August fixes the zone of march\nof the armies, and presclbes:\n\" 'The movement will be covered by\nthe rear guards left upon favorable\nground so as to utilize all obstacles to\narrest the forward march of the enemy, of the advance of the left wing of\nthe enemy, the time necessary for the\nBritish army to be completed and reinforced, certain difficulties in our transports arriving from the encumbrance of\nrailroads by the evacuations from Paris\nnecessitated the disembarking of apart\nor, at least, to retard him by short and\nviolent counter attacks, in which thc\nprincipal element will he the artillery.'\n\"The object of the maneuver is thus,\nwith the beginning of August, clearly\nfixed; it is to prepare not only an offensive action but an offensive which\nwill be taken as soon as favorable circumstances shall arrive.\t\n\"From the 25th of August to the 4th\nof September the orders for retirement\nwere executed but the rapidity of the\ntroops sent from the east to General\nManourl more to the south than had\nbeen foreseen the 25th of August. The\noffensive was retarded by that fact.\n\"On the 4th of September the reconnaissances of our cavalry those of the\nflying corps of the British of the Mau-\nnoury army and of the military government of Paris developed the Information that the right of the German army\n(Von Kluck's army) deflected its advance toward the southeast (Meaux\nand Coulommleres) abandoning the direction of Paris.\n\"By this time the original army of\nthe French left (the fifth army) was\nready to race the German columns in\nfront, and It was prolonged toward the\nnorthwest by the British army, and\nMaunoury's army directed to the northeast of Paris.\n\"The disposition sought by the instructions of August 25 for thc resumption of the offensive was then realized.\nThe line escaped the projected envelopment, and it was their own army that\nnow assumed an enveloping disposition. The wings found strong support In their contact with Paris on\ntho left, and Verdun on the right. At\nonce the general-ln-chief decided to\nbegin the attack, and on the evening\nof Kept. 4, gave the following general\norder:\n\"1. The question now is to profit\nfrom the situation of the first Germany\narmy to concentrate on it the efforts of\nthe urmies of the allies on the extreme\nleft. Two dispositions will be taken in\nthe day of September 5th with a view\nto beginning the attack on the 6th.\nli. The dispositions to be realized\nfor the 5th of September in the evening shall be:\n\" '(a) All the forces available of the\nsixth army to the northwest of JMeaux\nto cross the Ourcq between Lizy-sur-\nOurcq and May-en-Multten in the general direction of Thateau-Tierry. The\nelements available of the first corps of\ncavalry which are In proximity shall be\nplaced under the orders of General\nMaunuury for that operation.\n\"'(b) The English army shall be\nupon the front Changrs-Coulommleres\nfacing the east, ready to attack In the\ngeneral direction of Montmirall.\n'\"(c) The fifth army, closing In\nslightly upon Us left, will establish\nthemselves upon the genera*, front of\nCourtacon, Esternyu,, Sezanne, ready to\nattack in the general direction of south\nto north, the second corps of cavalry\nmaintaining the Junction between the\nfifth army and the English army.\n\" '(d) The ninth army will cover the\nright of the fifth army, holding Its exists to the south from the Satnt-Gond\nmarshes and directing a part of its\nforces upon the plateau to the north of\nSezanne.\n\" '3. The defensive shall be taken by\nthese different armies the 6th September in the morning.\n(Signed) \"J. JOFFRE.\"\n\"The following morning orders were\ngiven to the fourth and third armies\noperating at the right of the preceding:\n\" 'Fourth army\u2014Tomorrow morning,\nSeptember 6, the armies on our left will\nattack in front and in flank of the\nfirst and second German armies. The\nfourth army, stopping its movement\ntoward the south, will face the enemy,\ncombining Its movement with that of\nthe third army, which moving to the\nnorth of Revigny, takes the offensive\nin the direction of the west.\n\"Third army\u2014The third army will\nmove toward the west to attack the left\nflank of the enemy's forces, who are\nmarching to the west of Argonne. It\nwill combine its action to that of the\nfourth army, which has orders to face\nthe enemy.\"\n\"It was on the morning of September\n6 finally that the general-ln-ehief addressed to the armies the proclamation that has been taken wrongly for\na tactical order, but which was in reality nothing but an appeal to the devotion of the troops:\n\" 'At a moment when a battle upon\nwhich the safety of the country depends is to be engaged! it Is necessary\nfor all to recall that the moment to\nlook behind has passed. All efforts\nshould be employed to attack and push\nback the enemy. Troops that can no\nlonger advance should at any cost hold\nthe ground gained and let themselves\nbe killed on the \u00abpot rather than retire. Under the present circumstances\nno weakness can be tolerated.\"\nHOW III\"\nDODGE THE EOE\nTheir Quick Wits Alone Often Save\nThem From Enemy's Grasp.\nFrom northern France a British war\ncorrespondent recently has sent an interesting account of his experiences\namong the military aviators, whose operations he has been specially assigned\nto observe.\n\"It Is only In the evening,\" he says,\n\"that you have an opportunity for a\ntalk with the fliers after they have all\nreturned to camp from their perilous\nscouting excursions In the death filled\nair. They are, for that matter, never\nany too talkative. I had tho good\nfortune of taking dinner with a group\nof them the other night.\n\"All of those present were young\nmen of good families and bad received\ntheir training in England, and new In\nthe profession which they had adopted\nonly after the outbreak of the war.\n\"We awaited the arrival of a comrade who had not yet reached camp.\nFinally his aeroplane hove in sight,\nand In a few minutes be had joined\nUS. ,,,i.i\n\"Sometimes, however, it happens\nthat such waiting is all in vain, but\ncheerful hope Is a thing that clings\nto these brave young men to the last.\nRight hero among us at the table we\nhad a filer who failed to come back in\ndue time one evening some timo ago.\nWe waited for him until late at night,\nwhen we set signals to show him the\nexact location of the camp. The following morning he was still absent,\nand we commenced to have doubts\nabout ever seeing him again.\n\"One morning, ten days later, wc\nspied a strange aeroplane on the horizon. Presently the aeroplane landed,\nand who should jump out of It but our\nmissing friend. He had a pretty Btrange\nstory to tell about (his adventures. On\nthe day of his disappearance he was\nforced to descend right behind the German lines. Through some fortunate\ncircumstances nobody seemed to have\nobserved his descent, at least not in the\nimmediate neighborhood. Still he realized that ho might soon be discovered\nand caught, so he left his aeroplane to\nIts fate and ran with all possible speed\nto the nearest peasant cottage be could\nfind.\n\"As he could speak French fluently\nit did not take htm long to explain to\nthe good people in the cottage, who\nsupplied him with some old clothes, enabling him to pose as a farm laborer.\nAs soon as our friend felt that he no\nlonger needed to fear pursuit he planned to get away and rejoin us. This\nwas more difficult, because be had no\nready money, an absolutely necessary\npre-requlsite under the circumstances.\n\"But he had a check book on a\nLondon bank, and through the intercession of bis newly made peasant\nfriends a local storekeeper was prevailed upon to cash a check for a modest amount. He then set out afoot for\nthe nearest town not occupied byi the\nenemy, and gradually he made his way\nto the coast, where he took passage to\nEngland. A new aeroplane was readily\nprocured and the young man returned\ndutifully to bis post with us.\n\"Nearly every aviator I met bad on\none or more occasions been exposed to\nshrapnel fire by the Germans. The\nbeautiful white clouds formed by the\nexploding shrapnels are called \"Archibalds\" by the British fliers. How they\nhad come to adopt this peculiar name\nnone of them could tell me.\n\"The German marksmanship has\nbeen developed to a remarkable degree of accuracy, according to the\nunanimous opinion of the aviators, every one of whom confessed to unpleasant .feelings when finding himself all\nof a sudden in the midst of a shrapnel\nrain. From the Innocent looking white\nclouds pieces of the three-Inch bomb\nare scattered around a radius of 100\nfeet. Some of these fragments may\ndrop on an aeroplane and put it out of\ncommission. Often the flier himself It\nhit and killed In his seat, and no less\nfrequently (l hot shot shell splinter may\nstrike the benzine tank, causing it to\nexplode and wreck the aeroplane, Aside\nfrom this, the smoke from tho exploding bombs is extremely nauseating.\n\"There Is an old aviation story circulating through the .British forces in\nFrance at present. One of the most\ndaring flyers made a miscalculation\none day and landed among the Germans, who made him a prisoner. He\nwas left in charge of an officer whose\nobservance pt military etiquette was\nmost scrupulous, After a while the\nBritisher contrived to escape, and\nwhen he was again safely among his\nown he sat down and wrote a lette;\nto his late jailer, apologizing in a very\nformal manner for his rudeness in taking leave so unceremoniously,\n\"Next day be flew over the camp\nwhere he knew the German officer to\nbe and dropped the weighted letter\ndown among the barracks. Just as be\nflung the missive overboard his aeroplane appeared to get out of order and\nbegan to fall. It bad almost come\nwithin range of the camp sentries before the flier finally regained control\nand betook himself tn more secure surroundings.\"\nNELSONNEWSOF THE DAY\nThe regular meeting of the board\nof trade will be held tonight in the\nboard rooms at 8 o'clock.\nThe council of the Nelson lioard of\ntrade will meet this afternoon at 4\no'clock in the board rooms.\nTaylor, *he Tinker shrapens and repairs all articles, fits Yale keys, etc.\n(1072)\nThe regular meeting of the Pythian\nSisters will be held tonight at 8 o'clock.\nInstallation of officers.

So everyone is glad to\nwelcome \"General Utility\" back to the\nBritish army. \"General Utility\" is\nthe Earl of Errol, who has rejoined\nthe forces, from which he resigned In\n1907, as commander of a division and\nwith the temporary rank of brigadier-\ngeneral, Among his other dignities,\nthe earl Is lord high constable of Scotland, a post that gives him precedence, in that country, of all others,\nsave royalty, but be Is best known as a.\nsoldier of proved brilliance, with an\ncfrgan'izing genius not unworthy of\ncomparison with that of K. of K. himself. It was by reason of the latter\nthat, during the Boer war, when he\ncommanded the yeomanry brigade, he\ngot his nickname of \"General Utility,\"\nwhich, by the way, ts the second,\nanyhow, that he has borne, for, when\nan officer in the Blue Horse Guards,\nhe was known as \"Killy,\" a contraction of the title wlilch he then bore,\nnamely, that of Lord Kilmarnock.\nToday this title is borne by the earl's\nson, who for several years has been\nsecretary of the British legation at\nTokio.\nLord Errol, who is lord-In-waiting\nto the king, has climbed right up that\nportion of the military ladder that Is\nopen to a nobleman of his rank. He\njoined the Royal Horse Guards as\ncornet, and ended by becoming tbe\ncommanding officer of that crack re\ngiment, meanwhile doing much good\nwork at headquarters as a cavalry au\nthority, there being few better judges\nof horseflesh. Lord Wolseley, when\nCfommandcr-ln-chief, found the eai'l\nan excellent aide-de-camp, while the\nBoers found him an exceedingly\ntroublesome opponent.\nWas Born in Canada\nA member of Lord Roberts' staff In\nSouth Africa, his brigade was a. mixed\none of imperial yeomanry and Australian bushmen, and while commanding it he earned, besides bis nickname,\nseveral mentions in despatches and a\nmedal with four clasps. Of rodent\nyeurs he has been more concerned\nwith finance than with military matters, and, among several other important chairmanships, holds that of\nBovrll, Limited. Born in Kingston,\nOnt.. 63 years ago, he has important\nbusiness and financial interests in\nmost of the western provinces of the\nDominion.\nThe earl comes honestly by bis military ability for, not to mention the\nfact that he had no end of martial\nforbears, his father, thc eighteenth\nearl, was a Crimean war hero. He\nwas accompanied to the front by his\nwife, who landed at Varna fully uniformed and armed. She was with her\nHusband throughout the campaign, at\nthe conclusion of which the officers of\nthe rifle brigade presented her with\na portrait of herself mounted on a\nwhite horse.\nIn his early days the present earl\nwas a mighty boxer and probably\ncould have landed a championship or\ntwo had he had the mind.\nHigh Constable of Scotland\nThe title of hereditary lord high\nconstable of Scotland has been horn\nby one of his family for over seven\ncenturies, having been granted originally to Sir Gilbert Hay, one of Robert\nBruce's doughty soldiers and friends,\nby that Scottish hero. In those days\nthe constable was the commander of\nthe king's forces In the field In the\nabsence of the king, while among the\nduties and privileges of the post was\nthat of being judge of all crimes committed within four miles of the king's\nperson. The keys of the parliament\nhouse were in his keeping, too. Today, however, the position Is largely\nan honorary one, which gives Its bearer, besides the precedence in Scotland\nalready mentioned, a prominent place\nat coronations and other royal functions.\nBesides this title of constable, Robert Bruce gave to Sir Gilbert Hay,\nSlalns Castle, which is still the seat\nof tho earls of Errol. It is bleakly\nsituated on the cliffs near Crnden bay,\nand Is simply packed with history. Dr.\nJohnson passed a night there and\ncomplained that he was unable to sleep\nfor the roar of the waves under his\nwindow and also on account of the\nsmall of the \"sea fowls' feathers\" with\nwhich his pillow was stuffed. At\nSlalns, too, can be seen the identical\ncard (the nine of diamonds, hence\nculled the curse of Scotland), on\nwhich the Duke of Cumberland wrote\nthe order for the butchery of the\nHighland prisoners after CuIIoden. At\nSlalns, too. may be seen the most curious of all the possessions of the family. This is a cradle carved with a\nserpent at one end and a dove at the\nother. The legend asserts that the\nheir of the Hays laid in that cradle\nmust imbibe tbe wisdom of the serpent and the charm of the dove.\nPAGE SEVEN 3\nEveryone Follows the War News\nFollow the War Sale News\nTHE PLACE WHERE PRICES ARE DAILY CAN NONADED, WHERE WE ARE ALIVE TO TOUR\nINTERESTS, DESIRING ONLY TO FILL OUR STORE AND KEEP IT FULL OF SATISFIED BUYERS.\nWHEN YOU THINK OF PURCHASING TURN YOUR STEPS TO THE CORNER STORE, WHERE THE\nFLAG FLIES, THE SHELLS AND THE BARGAINS.\nSWEATERS DRAWN INTO THE FIGHT\nIt's a holy war in Smart Sweaters, all pure wool,\nhand knitted, in Grey, Grey and Green or Red, Cream,\nFawn, Biscuit, Navy, Tan, etc. One fell sweep in\nthe rush of battle.\nRegular $6.50\u2014For\t\n$2.95\n$1,15 CLUNY LACE CORSET COVERS, 69o\nSomething that will draw you down this morning.\nAn investment worthy ot thc name.

But then what\nvariety of strawberry did Doctor Johnson have in mind? None of our best\nberries date back more than 100 years\nand the berries be knew could not have\ndone moro than give a suggestion of\nthe kinds we enjoy. His berries may\nhave been glorious, but there is one\nglory of the Wilson and another glory\nof the Senator Dunlop and other glories of many kinds of sit raw berries, for\none strawberry dlffereth from another\nstrawberry in glory. As Dr. Johnson is\nbeen dead for many years and I need\nnot fear his wrath, I shall venture to\namend this epigram by saying that\nwhen God wanted a better berry than\nthe strawberry, he made another\nstrawberry.\nSeeking for Ideal,\nOC course tho wild strawberry has\nbeen known since Ihe earliest time in\nall parts of the world, but the domesticated variety as we know it was introduced from Virginia in 1629. Since\nthen horticulturists have been in pursuit of the ideal berry and now they\nare hoping for great things through\nhybridization, selection and what practically amounts to creative evolution.\nAt the Vineland experimental station\nalone they have this year over 200ft\n\u25a0new varieties to test in the hope of\ndiscovering one that is new and surpassing.\nFruit of Many Uses.\nAccording to fruit statistics the\nstrawberry Is now more widely used\nthan any other fruit except tbe apple.\nIt may be used to advantage either\ncooked or raw and canned strawberries\ncarry their relish to every season of\nthe year. Then thero must lie strawberry jam for tho children's lunches\nat school and for the workman's dinner pall. In short It may be used in\nso many ways, all1 delightful, that\nevery housewife, no matter how poor,\nfeels that she must have a supply of\nstrawberries in some form if she is to\nhave a home worthy of the name. Not\nonly is ft a fruit of incomparable quality, but it has no peeling, no core, no\npit, and no waste of any kind. Its use\nis as economical as it is delightful. He-\ncause of its perfections It has a place\nof Us own in the favor of humanity\nand best of all it Is the first fresh fruit\n'to come on the market in the spring\nwhen we are sharp set after the long\nwinter.\nThe Faultless Fruit.\nUnquestionably the strawberry deserves the account of Its creation given\nby that delightful fabulist, John Ames\nMltchel. editor of Life. He fabled that\nthe Creator took so much good material and so many flavors to make\nthe Hudson river shad that tbe Devil\nused up all his power for evil in filling\nit with the most distressing amount of\nbones to be found in any fish. Then\nthe Creator triumphantly made the\nstrawberry and the devil had nothing\nleft with which to spoil it. So he fled\n\"howling\" and we have in the strawberry the one perfect berry\u2014the \"entire and perfect chrysolite of fruits.\"\nMONEY FOR YOU\nCommencing Monday, July 5, we will gtve with every dollar's worth\nof purchase or work a ticket which will entitle tbe holder to participate in\nour BIG $\/2 Baker Street, Nelson, B.C.\nP.O. Box 832\nMUST DESTROY HIM BY\nINCHES, SAYS SCIENTIST\nU >ND< IN.\u2014The Dally Chronicle\nprints an interview with Sir William\nCrooks by Harold I-tegbie, in which tlie\nscientist, gave his views on the war.\nHe said:\n\"I think we started budly; we were\ncertainly not as well prepared as Germany. I do not know that anybody\ncan rightly be blamed for that state\nof things. We have done very well\nconsidering and I am inclined to say\nthat as regards that part of the work\nin which I have heen able to render\nthe authorities some help, this country will very soon be on an equality\nwitli our foes. There is no need for\nanxiety, certainly no need for panic.\n\"It looks as tf I' wilt be a long war,\nbut the longer it lasts the stronger\nwill be the power of tbo allies. We\nmust simply set ourselves to wear out\nthe Germans. To do that we have\nonly to press steadily and quietly forward on our road. Wo have not got\nto take cities and execute wonderful\nmarches, All we have to do is to go\non with our absolute and unquestionable duty of thinning tho enemy. We\nmust stay long; we must sap him; we\nmust weaken him at every point; we\nmust destroy him by inches. After\nthat we can enter bis country and do\nwhat we like with It.\n\"A great thing for men to convince\nthemselves of is that this war will be\nwon not by fury of attack and not by\ngallantry, but simply by banging on.\nHe who hangs on longest, will win and\na. man need not think very profoundly to assure himself that, whereas we\ncan hang on almost indefinitely the\nGermans cannot. Every day might be\ncalled a victory for the allies. Time\nfights for us.\"\nAs To Asphyxiating Gas\nAsked bis opinion on tbe employment of asphyxiating gas, he said:\n\"On the whole I am against its use\nby the allies. The Germans havo gone\nto the devil to help them. I don't\nlike to think that we, with our Just\ncause, should go to the same source\nfor assistance, but I can see the justice of argument in favor of employing gas. We, in England, I believe,\nhave now made our preparations In\nthis respect and it rests with the authorities to decide whether our troops\nshould be supplied with such a weapon. If It is possible, I should like to\nwin with clean bands.\n\"We must destroy thc Germans\nThere can be no other end for civilized mankind.

Ferano placed\none of them on a large rock and held\nit while Murano pounded it with a\nsmall stone, causing It to explode. They\nwere removed to the office of Dr. W.\nO. Roso and Dr. Gilbert Hartin where\nit was found necessary to amputate\npart of the left thumb and forefinger\nof Ferlno, while Murano had minor injuries about the body and legs dressed.\nThe boys were removed to their homes\nWM BERRY\nn\nCUPS\nANDARD SIZE\nFruit Growers Urge Necessity of Law\nCompelling Shippers to Use Cups\nof Uniform Size,\nDuring tho recent visit of D. Johnson, Dominion fruit commissioner and\nhis associates to Nelson, a conference\nwas held at which the representatives\nof tlio Kootenay- Boundary fruit grow\nera urged the necessity of establishing\na legal weight for the cups used in\npacking berries.\nIt was stated that the growers In\ntho district bad long felt lhat all the\nranchers should be compelled to ship\ntheir berries In cups of the same size\nand weight in order that the dealer\nand thc buying public might know exactly what quantity they were getting. It was pointed out that the bulk\nof the berries shipped from the district wero packed in 4-5 cups and\nthat the shippers In .the United States\nwere sending their fruit Into the\nprairie country in 3-n cups. This, il\nwas said, left the retail dealer an\nopening to lake advantage of tlie buyer who is unablo to distinguish between the two sizes, and charge him\nus much for tho berries in the smaller\ncups from the United States as for\ntho berries shipped in thc larger cups\nfrom this district, which would mean\nthat tho Canadian grower would have\nto compete in many cases with a 2-5\nadvantage In favor of the shipper in\nthe United States.\nIt was urged upon the commissioner\nlhat an. endeavor should be made to\nhave a law passed which would compel\nall berries shipped Into Canadian markets to be in standard cups and it was\nsuggested that these cups be either\npints or quarts. The commissioner will\ngo into the 'matter moro fully with\ntlie department at Ottawa.\nLITTLE DEMAND\nFOR\nManager of Fruit Growers' Union\nAttributes Poor Market to High\nPrice of Sugar\nThat the cherry market on the plains\nis very slow in opening up is the statement of Dr. N.

The union\nIs shipping samr sample crates today\nin an attempt to stimulate buying, and\nIt is hoped that !n a few days the\nmarket will begin to open up and the\ndemand increase. Dr. \"Wolverton attributes the poor condition to the high\nprice of sugar and the financial stringency.\nThis Year's Exhibition Considered the\nBest Held from an Artistic and\nProgressive Standpoint\nA meeting of (he Nelson Improvement association was held last night\nin the board of trade rooms.

Your letter was in his\npocket,, and that portion of him did not\nget struck with any big chunks. I am\nreturning it to you as a remembrance.\nThree small bits pierced it, as you can\ncan see.\n\"George was as nervy as they mak_\nthem and seemed to be Indifferent to\ndanger. The night lie was killed, wc\nbad tho front line of German trenches\nmined with two and a half tones of\npowder and were to have biown it up\nat 5:fr8 o'clock. They have, along that\npart, a great deal of connecting work,\nand their barb wire was set in with\nsteel and concrete in places. Their artillery shelled us heavily with big guns\nand high explosives. A party of eiigi\nneers, 18 in number, was there to rush\ninto the crater and fortify it when the\nmine was exploded, while the others\nleading were to carry high power\nbombs to finish off the concrete and\nbarb wire.\n\"Tho Germans bombarded us with\nshells that make a bole from 12 to 10\nfeet across in hard clay and four to 10\nfeet deep. One of these got Georgo as\nlie was waiting for the mine to explode,\nlie and five others wero hit and buried in the earth. Three others were\nburied, but got out alive, one of them\nquite off his head. Out of thc party\nof 18 in our section, eight were killed\nand three are missing, These are undoubtedly dead.

A, Haggeti In it special contribution to the Province. The other\nsmelters am those of the Granby Consolidated Mining & Smelting company\nat Grand Forks und Anyox and the\nplant of the Consolidated Mining &\nSmelting company at Trail.\nThe capacity of the whole of Ihe\nsmelting plants of British Columbia\nis about 10,000 tons a day, Including\ntho silver-lead slacks of the Trail\nsmelter. Of this capacity, the copper\nfurnaces now operating are capable of\ntreating about 9,400 tons a day, and\nwhen the additions to the Granby\ncompany's plant at Anyox, now in process of construction, are completed\nthe capacity of British Columbia plants\nwill amount to about 11,500 tons a\nday. On the average grade of copper\nores mined in British Columbia, this\nis equivalent to a productive smcllin\ncapacity of about 100,000,000 pounds of\ncopper per annum.\nIn estimating the prospects of the\ncopper production of the province, tho\nores which are mined, but are sent\nout for treatment ut'the Tacoma smelter, account for an output of about Ifi,-\n000,000 pounds of copper POr annum.\nThc production of these exported ores\nprincipally from the Britannia mine\nwill be about trebled within the year\nso that there is every probability of\nthe copper production aggregating\nabout 140,000,000 pounds within a short\ntime. At present prices of copper this\nproduction would give a value of about\n$28,000,000 or moro than tho entire min\neral produciion of the province last\nyear,\nBritish Columbia is therefore en\ntilled to a recognized place in the list\nof the world's copper producers. The\noutlook for thc copper market is good,\nas, after peace is declared, there must\nbe an enormous demand for copper to\nreplace tlie waste of war, so that ncv\nmines will lie opened up and their pro\nduclion added to the present figures\nwill ensure a rapid advance in the out\nput. Among new mines to be added to\nthe present copper producers are those\nof the Quatsino Copper company, on\nVancouver island, and the Princess\neamp of the Canada Copper company.\nOf the present copper smelting capacity of tho province the mines and\nplants of thc Granby Consolidated\nMining, Smelting & Power company\nare to be credited with three-fourths\nof tlio total.\nThat British Columbia is attracting\ntho attention of outside Investors in\ncopper mines is evident from the fact\nthat mining engineers In Vancouver\nhavo instructions to take up for their\nprincipals practically all available\ncopper properties or morit. Last week\ntho preliminary arrangements were\nmado in a deal for copper properties\nconveniently located to Vancouver, und\nthe development of which means not\nonly large expenditure in Vancouver\nfor labor supplies but the operation of\nanother smelting plant, should development prove as satisfactory as present\nIndications promise.\nfear 'bumping tlie bumps' more than I\ndo the Germans, but that doesn't make\nme reckless.
