Even if to this is added tlie\noutput, of tlie Yukon for 1904, an output which was confined io sold, British\nColumbia Is still In the lead, for all\nCanada and tlie Yukon together\u2014only\nproduced 512,250,963, leaving this province with an advantage of a million and\na quarter.\nIf the dominion's production of iron\nis added, a production in which this\nprovince does not at present share,\nthough it will be reckoned in its output before another year has finished,\nBritish Columbia stiil leads by a few\nhundred thousand, the combined total\nagainst it being only $13,152,843. To\nheat this province it is necessary to\nbring Into the metal production the rich\nnickel deposits tit Sudbury and then\nBritish Columbia sinks to second place\naa Iho combined metals of the whole of\nthe provinces and the Yukon Is $17,871,\u00ab\n990,\nTlio totals of the metals arc as follows: Gold, Yukon, $10,3:17,000; British Columbia, $5,704,908, all other provinces, $358,092. Silver, British Columbia, $1,719,516, Canada outside of this\nprovince, $108,343. Copper, British Columbia, $4,578,037, Canada, $932,082.\nLead. British Columbia, $1,421,874 Canada $215,540. The output of nickel Is\n$4,219,153, and of iron $901,880.\nTable X includes also coke and coal in\nthe former of whicli British Columbia\nhas only lately figured. Still out of a\ntotal coal production of $14,699,000 British Columbia contributes rather more\nthan one-fourth, $3,700,884.\nThe total amount of coke produced In\nthe whole of Canada is $1,884,219 and\nhere British Columbia is again In the\nlead, contributing nearly two-thirds,\nIt Is suggested by the New York Sun\nthat Ureal. Britain aud the United\nStates would mutually profit by au exchange of the British West Indian Islands for Alaska. Tlie Sun thinks\nCanada wants Alaska and is quite sure\ntlte United Slates would gladly agree to\nany deal that would secure to the Stars\n[ and Stripes tho West Indian islands.\nThere is nol much likelihood of the\ndeal heing made. No move has been\nmade iu Canada looking to the absorption of Alaska, either by purchase or\nexchange aud neither political party is\nlikely to make such a question an issue.\nGreat Britain is even less likely to consider a proposition to part with tho\nWest Indian islands and it Is still more\nunlikely that the West Indians would\nentertain the proposition for a moment.\nFor the benefit of lhe hundreds of\nreaders of Tlie Daily News among the\nemployes of the Crow's Nest.

Without\nattributing to ,T, J. Hill any philanthropic motives or crediting him with\nany special Virtues, it may fairly be\nsaid that as a railroad man he has\nheretofore not failed to carry out any\nproject .which lie has undertaken. If\nhe enters into an agreement to mako of\nthe V. V. & E. railway virtually an\nall-Canadian line, without asking a\ncent of bonus from either the dominion\nor the provincial government, and to\ncomplete the same within two years\nfrom date oi' commencement, can it reasonably be contended that such a proposition is detrimental to tho best interests of this province?\n1GNAT1EFF COMMISSION\nTO DO AWAY WITH MINOR STATE\nOF SIEOE.\nPROORIESS OF REFOR-M MOVEMENT\nIN HOLY RUSSIA.\nSt. Petersburg, May 20.\u2014The council of tin: emperor has increased tlie appropriation for public education by\n$025,000.\nPrivate reports from Zhitomir, province of Volhynia, say Uie tension between Uie Jews aud Christians Is increasing and ihat both sides are arming.\nThe Ignatleff commission (for the revision uf exceptional laws designed for\nsafeguarding public order), has pronounced against a eontinuauce of the\nminor state of siege wliich is usually\ndeclared in many Russian cities, finding that it led to the greatest abuses\nand arbitrariness and furnished a pretext for domiciliary visits and summary arrests, The commission recommends the entire abolition of tlio so-\ncalled minor state of siege as a halfway, vexatious measure, clothing the\nauthorities With an unnecessary arbitrary power aud the substitution at\ntimes of great public stress of martial\nlaw, so as to leave the cities either in\na normal condition with the civil authorities in full sway or entirely under\nconl rol of the militia.\nTho recommendation of the committee permitting tiie re-opening of German gymnasia and other schools in the\nBaltic and other provinces has been\ngreeted with a burst of joy by the Germans.\nTho St. Petersburg Zletung, which\nfor a century has been the German organ of Russia, says tho govern ment apparently has finally realized lhat the\nGermans of the Baltic provinces are\nnone the less loyal for retaining their\nlove for the umi her tongue,, The paper\nrejoices lhat the teachers of German\nwill no longer be regarded as criminals and that children will not be forced\nto sneak Into schools by back streets\nwith tlieir books disguised as grocers'\nparcels in order to obtain an educHtUut.\nColds\nIt should be borne in mind that\nevery cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality and prepares the\nsystem for the more serious diseases, among which are tlie two\ngreatest destroyers of human life,\npneumonia and consumption.\nChamberlain's\nCough Remedy\nbis won its great popularity by its\nprompt cures of this most common |\nailment.

It reads as follows:\nlt is customary when speaking of the\nextent of tbe British Empire Lo make\nsome reference to tlie fact that Its area\nconsiderably exceels nine ami a half million square miles, nearly oue quarter of\ntho laud surface of tlie blobe, and tliis\nusage may perhaps be defended on the\nground tliat it affords a cottventlent\nmeans of comparison between ourselves\nand foreign nations. But the defence Is\nno justification, for no comparison can\npossess oven tho elementary appearance\nof completeness which ignores tlie most\nglorious of all our dominions and, by\nsilence, tacitly consents to its division\namong the nations of the world.\nThe old simile of tlie chain and its\nlinks does nof seem to us to bo particularly applicable to the conditions under which the Empire exists, for while\ntbe fracture of a link would necessarily render useless the chain of which it\nwas an element, no one would seriously\ncontend tliat the loss of secession of ono\nstate would ruin for ever the whole of\ntlio British Empire. Indeed, history has\none great example to the contrary.\nWo would rather liken our dominion\nlo a gigantic bracelet encircling tbe\nearth, In whicli are set like splendid\nJewels the nations whose allegiance is\nsworn to tho British flag. A jewel mny\ndrop from the bracelet and although its\nvalue and Its brlllance will be impaired,\nit will remain a bracelet as much as bo-\nfore; hut what would happen If the\ngolden band In which they were set\nshould bo shattered? The jewels would\nfall away, separate, helpless, at tho\nmercy of the llrst person who eared to\npick thein up, while the ornament itself\nwould be irretrievably destroyed.\nIt Is precisely the same with the British Empire. The golden band that holds\ntogether in one continuous and unbroken whole the hundred scattered states\nthat form our heritage is tlie very part\nof llio imperial fabric which is most vital to our existence. Robbed of tho dominion of the seas which we held\nagainst agressors for two centuries, and\nwhich we bave preserved in peace for a\nhundred years since Trafalgar, the British Empire will fall to pieces in a day.\nIt is tlio all-dominating factor of our\ncorporate life.\nOut; hundred and twenty-four million\nsquare miles of ocean must own tbe undisputed sway of the British Hag. (for\nthe day when our mastery becomes so\ndoubtful as to offer to our jostling rivals any hope of their being able to\nwrench that sway from us will he the\nday when wo shall have to defend our\nrights at tbe breech of tlie twelve-Inch\ngun. Tlie attainment and maintenance\nof a position of unassailable superiority\nat sea should be the first aim of imperial policy.\nAt tbo present moment Uio British\nfleet, measured simply as a fighting\nforce against its rivals, Is undoubtedly |\nsuperior to any two, and not improbably to any three, others combined. But\nit must he constantly borno in mind\nthat the power of the fleet is always relative to many tilings, not tho least\nImportant of which is the work that\nwould Call upon It In ibe event of war.\nIn war tbe protection of our trado\nroutes will be the first call upon tho\nBritish Ileet, and the duly can only be\neffectively discharged by confining the\nships of the enemy to their harbours or\nsmashing them up as soon as they emerge, and to do lhat a considerable\nfighting superiority is essential, estimated by naval experts at Ilve attacking ships to every three attacked. Thnt\nis a preponderonce whicli Great Britain\nhas not got now, and our position in\nthreo years' time, when the present programs of new construction bave been\ncompleted, will be even worse, for we\nshall have but fifty battleships to forty-\nnine of Germany and tlio United States\ncombined,\nIn face of these facts it may appear\nsomewhat strange\u2014to put it mildly\u2014\nthat the British government this year\nshould liave thought it advisable to reduce our naval expenditure by three\nand a half millions sterling, and to introduce llio smallest program of new\nconstruction that has been known in recent years, which provides for only one\nbattleship against two of Germany\nalone. We have seen two reasons put\nforward for tliis action on the part of\ntlio governmenl, one plausible but bad,\ntho other ominous and equally bad. The\nflrst is that the lessons of the war In\ntho far east have not been thoroughly\ndigested, and that It Is better to wait\nuntil they have been before embarking\non a too ambitious Rtshmno tit' shin-\nbuilding. Tho danger of Ibis lies lu tbo\nfact that while tho lessons of the war\ncannot be learnt by us, at all events, until the war is over, the war may last\nfor some years yet: would it then be\ncontended that we should be 'justified\nIndefinitely postponing our efforts? Tho\ncourse of the war still bristles with difficulties which not inconceivably might\nshatter tho entente cordiale ami drag us\ninto tbe conflict, and it is a counsel of\nInsanity that urges us to hold our hand\nin fhe circumstances.\nThe other reason given for the reduction of our naval expenditure is a far\nmore serious one, but one which, nevertheless, if faced by the empire in tho\ntrue imperial spirit that looks back to j\nmany histories leading out of one and\nforward into many merging into one,\nIs capable of a solution tliat will do\nmuch to bring us nearer the idea] of\nfederation. Tbe defence of tbo empire\nis an Imperial duty, as much as the defence of each individual nation composing it Is a national duty. Tbe two are\nnot antagonistic; indeed, we aro not\nsure that the case for an imperial navy\nIs not stronger when approached from\nthe national point of view than from\nany other. Would Canada be prepared\nat this moment to undertake to answer\ntho naval expansion or the United States\nship for ship, as she would surely havo\nto do if she were Independent of Groat\nBritain and wished to remain independent? Would Australia, in face of tho\nJapanese Ileet, lie content with her present microscopic expenditure on naval\ndpfenco if she bad not tlie whole British navy to depend upon for support?\nTho revenue of tho Australian Commonwealth is approximately equal to,\nand her sea-borne trade double that of\nJapan, whose normal naval expenditure\nis three millions. Tbo Dominion of\nCanada has a revenue equal to that of\nPortugal, a sea-borne trade double tho\nvalue, and enemies far more Insidious.\nIt is not loo much to say that if they\nwero absolutely independent nations\nboth Australia and Canada would be\nforced to maintain fleets at least equal\nto lhat of Japan\u2014or become vassals in\neach ease of a neighboring power.\nIn the meantime \"tbe weary Titan,\"\nGreat. Britain, Is beginning to feel tho\nstrain of maintaining almost unaided a\nfleet superior lo any two of hor feverish rivals, and with lhe United States\nentered as a determined competitor, the\noutlook is not encouraging.\nBritain oversea camo splendidly to i\nthe help of the empire In the dark days\nof a difficult and costly war. Is not tbo\nprevention of war a task fully as worthy\nas that of carrying it successfully\nthrough? When tbe British navy falls\nbelow a standard of undoubted superiority, war will come, and it will be too\nlate then for help. A warship cannot\nbe built in less Uian two years, and a\nbig gun takes almost as long. The situation can only bo met by sustained and\ndetermined effort on the part of the\nWhole of the empire. It Is not Just that\nthe United Kingdom should havo lo\nhear so enormous a proportion of the\nburden, aud the time Is coming when\nshe will be unable to face ber rivals as\nshe has done hitherto. Will Britons\noversea look indifferently on?

He slated\nthat he went over the properties of Campbell and Langford last fall, with Caldwell\nnnd Doran. He is not a skilled scaler, but\nhe estimated that the timber on Campbell's\nland would average S90O feet to the acre,\non Langford's SOW.\nCross examined by S. S. Taylor be snld\nhe had 23 years' experience in lumbering.\nTo the foreman of the jury lie snld there\n\u25a0were still 100 acres of standing Umber on\nCampbell's land and at least Unit much\non Lur Tord's.\nWilliam Mackenzie, owner of a mill near\nCranbrook, deposed that be wns tamillnr\nWith the lands in quesUon. lie luid cut\nover 6000 trees on the properties during the\nconstruction of tbo Crow's Nest railway.\nHi- estimated G000 feet to the acre, us a\nfair average for the timber on both properties. Two weeks ago he laid gone over\nit more carefully nnd now considered that\n(1000 feet was an over estimate. To S. S-\nTaylor un cross examination he said bo\nspent part of one day in making ills lost\nestimate. Ho had never offered to take\nCampbell's timber for B,O00,0OO Ceet. To\nthe jury he wild that thoro was still standing timber on both properties.\nThe next witness was Martin O'Neill, a\ncertificated lumber cruiser nnd scaler. He\nmade an examination of the Campbell\nand langford lands. From ten sample\nacres ot each, be found an average of\n5.470 feet on Campbell's nnd 5,5-10 feet on\nLangford's place. On W. Mackenzie's\nland, which he considered the best In East\nKootenay, tho average was about 7500 feet\nto tlie acre. On cross examination by S.\nS. Taylor, he said that he made his whole\nexamination In company with Mackenzie,\nIn live hours. He found very little good\ntimber \"lying on tho ground. Questioned\nby the jury, he gave 'ill? feet as the average yield of u tree lu board measure.\non Campbell's land, and 822 feet for Langford's. The trees average three logs cacti.\nHe found very few large stumps. With\nlarge stumps gnat allowance lind to he\nmade for the churn shape.\nA. W. McVittie was next called. To W.\ncdonnld he sold thai he had been\n ...ng timber Hmlts in British Columbia\nfor six years. When laud Is being purchased from tbe government If It doesn't\nyield 5000 feet to the acre, it is classified\nas nnn-tlmbered land. He considered both\nthe Campbell and Lnngford properties,\njudged by lhe average of tlie 320 acres.\nwere non-timbered lands. On a recent examination he had found the area cut over\non Campbell's proporty 12fi acres, on Langford's ll) 1-2 acres. The best acre he found\ncontained 9400 feet of timber. .Mr. Mc-\nvtuic tlion exhibited and explained to the\njury n plan ami ft blue print of the two\nproperties, showing the areas cleared, and\nfhrrso sllll containing standing timber. Of\ntbe areas from which timber bad been cut\nbe considered S000 feet to tlie acre a 1'aitr\ncstinnte for CamnbclVs proporty^ and\n\"bout 8500 for Langford's. From these\nunnyside\nNELSON, B.

S. S. Taylor asked leave to\nremll Caldwell to rebut McVlttlo's evidence. Leave was granted, but at the\nllrst question, W. A. Macdonald objected\nthat the evidence sought was mere repetition. The objection was sustained. Uut\nCaldwell and McVittie Were both question:\ned by V.ie jury, while tlie judge, counsel,\nplaintiffs and defendants gathered round\nthe plans.

Macdonald then\nentered parts of the evidence of Campbell\nand Langford on examination for discovery, S. S. Taylor objecting, hut being overruled.\nAit 2:20 W. A. Macdonald began hia argument to the jury. He referred in the long\nlapse of time during which the plaintiffs\nbad accepted money und statements- without complaint, and the account had heen\nconsidered closed to dale. He severely\ncriticized the conduct of fi, M. Taylor In\nputting In oa evidence privileged communications, especially when the correspondence looking to a settlement had been\nInitiated by himself. He drew attention\nto the agreement of evidence among the\nformer employees of tbe company ns to\nthe scaling. Tbe export evidence offered\nby tbo claimants wns discussed (ind de-\nHcrlbed an biased and the reverse of candid. He emphasized tli0 fnct thnt neither\nCampbell nor Lnngford had expressed nny\ndlswitlBfaction until the advent of Doran.\nMr. Mjicdonnld'a argument lasted an hour\nnnd a quarter.\nS. S. Taylor argued that lhe case waa It\nanything premature, rather than belated,\nBlnce the contract hns still live years to\nrun. He submitted Unit the whole question\nnt Issue was the honesty and correctness\nof the scnle. The failure of the defendants\nto put In a scaler of their otfu was explained by the fact that the wages of n\nscaler would have exceeded the claimants\"\nrevenue from the royalty. Ha claimed that\ntho estimates offered by ttie defendants\nwere entitled to no consideration as against\nthe reiturns nmd\u00ab from sidling the ground\nby experts, lie referred to Koran's asking\nadvice from ,r. F, Armstrong, government\nagent nt Fort Steele, who wns described\n\u25a0by the counsel ns a man Justly esteemed\nthroughout ihe district for hia Integrity\nnnd practical wisdom. Mr. Taylor resented tlie criticism of his course in putting\nIn correspondence ns exldence, on the\nground thnt it had am important bearing\non the cose. Mr. Taylor's speech took a\nlittle over an hour.\nIn summing up Mr. justice Morrison read\nover the statements of tbe claim and ol-\nIhe defence. He started his belief that A.\nLeltch was an honest nnd honorable man,\nund the offlcecfl of-tho company probably\nalso honest. He dismissed S. S. Taylor's\nargument thuit a ten year contract at 52IW\na year Implied an admission of 2,000,000\nfeet. He asked tho jury to weigh carefully\nCaldwell's evidence on wliich the plaintiffs\nmainly relied. On the other hand the jury\nwas reminded of the positive statements as\nto the scaling. In conclusion his lordship\nsnld: \"My excuse for so brief and so haphazard a charge Is that I feel complimented In having the assistance of such a\njury. I am Ritlafied that you have tlie\nmatter well In hand, and I leave tlie case\nln your hands. I will request you to answer those questions:\n1. Was the account furnished by the defendants to tbe plaintiffs a correct statement of the amount cut and removed?\n2. If not, what was the amount of timber so cut and removed?\n3. What damages, if any, are the plaintiffs respectively entitled to recover, in\nreaped of timber destroyed?\nBoth counsel nsked for modifications In\nthe directions. W. A. Macdonald submitted\ntlvU the Enst Kootenny Lumber company\ncould not in nny event, be held liable tor\na debt, of the Cranbrook Lumber compnny.\nTho court held that that might affect a\njudgment, but not u verdict. i\nAt the request of the foreman of the\njury the third question was amended lo\nroad: \"Wns any timber left on tlie ground\ndamaged? If so, to what txlentV'*\nTho Jury retired at 5.16.\nNECESSITY OF ADVERTISING\nEnquiries Come to the Hoard of Trade\nFrom Far Ohio\nIllustrating the necessity of keeping this\nsection more before the eyes of the public\nthan is now tho case is a letter wnlch\nlui.s recently been received by the board ot\ntrade from one J. A. Wlckersham of tlr-\nbana, Ohio. Mr. Wiekcrshum says be luis\nbeen Inundated with literature respecting\nthe Northwest territories but is In the\ndensest Ignorance us to the capabilities\not British Columbia and wants some few\nquestions answered as to the Advisability\nof horticulture In this district, In answer\nto his questions the hoard of trade say\nthat there Is land to bi; had hero either .hy\npre-emption which Is practically the same\nas homosteadtng In the United Stales upon\ntho iwyment of tv nominal feee for registration. Other lands can be procured from\nthe railway companies from $1 to ?ii an\nacre, uncleared and can ulso be purchased\nfrom the government on somewhat similar terms. The climate In the mountain\nvalleys while nol so mild ns at the const\non the wesl slope of the Cascade mountains, is softened by the Chinook or coast\nwinds which prevent any long continued\nfrost. Zero weather Is experienced in the\nNelson district during some winters but\nnever lasts over a day or so. In summer\ntime tbo thermometer seldom goes up to\nyo and the evenings arc Invariably cool.\nThe precipitation averages about 20 Indies\nyearly and in -fairly distributed throughout\nthe year. As to fruits there is no part of\numinii Columbia, where fruits do better\nthan on the benches skirting the mountain lakes and in the valleys generally.\nSmall fruits du especially wcl.l as do also\ncherries, prunes, plums, apples and pears,\nand nowhere in Canada Is there a belter\nmrurket than in the Kootenny-Yuie districts.

Procter, seconded by W. Irvine;\n\"Proposed We hold a' Dominion Day\ncelebration and tliat a flower show be one\nof tbe features combined wilh tlie usual\nsports eusioiik'iry on tliat ucenslou in Nelson. Also that three committees of live\nbe appointed by the chair to look after\ntho flower show, the sports, aud the finance\nrespectively.\nThere was some little discussion pre-\n\u25a0cedlng the adoption ot tlie motion, which\nculminated the proceedings of the meeting, in whicli .Messrs. Procter, J. A. .McDonald, Starkey und W, Irvine look the\nprincipal part. There were two parties\npresent, ono of which was mainly interested In the Ilowor show and the other\nfavored the usual sports. It was shown,\nhowever, that the two objects could lie\ncombined, Tin; llower show need not be\nan exjienso to tbo celebration, Inasmuch n_\na smalt fee could bu charged as an entrance, which would pi'ol.-ihly dainty ail\nexpeimos, Similarity, although baseball\nnud lacrosse, wero expensive, yel lliey\nulso coat nothing because uf the gate. A\nllower .show would admit of the small fruits\nat their best early in July, being exhibited\naa they could not be later in the year at\nthe full fair, but at the. same tlmo the\nllower and fruit show would not form Hi\"\nattraction wliich brought visitors. Some\nthought iho drilling contests were un at*\nruction, and Uu; olilef attraction, others\nthat vi wet test race could not well be\nomitted.
