Peters,\nthe former of Ymir and the latter of\nNelson, and W. A. Macdonald of Vancouver. The first part of the deal was\narranged by Ed Peters in Spokane\nabout a week ago, and an option, at a\nconsiderable figure, has been given on\nthe property to eastern parties, whose\nSpokane representative waB authorized\nto conclude tbe matter.

This property ls the LlriBon View group, owned\nby Mr. Llndgren. Smelter tests mnde\nsome years ago at Trail on a considerable shipment gave returns of 261.2\nounces of stiver, 12 per cent lend and\n4 per cent copper. This ore was from\nthe main ledge, which lies ln a granite\nformation and which la developed by\ntwo shafts, respectively 70 and 40 feet\ndeep, both in ore. A crosscut tunnel,\nnow In 40 feet, was started to come\nunder the deeper shaft at a further\ndepth of 100 feet, and on this tunnel\nwork will be resumed In June. No. 2\nledge of tbe Llnson View Is situated\n500 feet higher up on the group, in a\nslate and lime formation, and ls\nstripped for 300 feet with a six-inch\nshowing of gray copper, from which an\nassay of 625 ounces of silver was obtained.\nOne mile from the'property just described is the Grand Solo group, owned\nby Mr. Llndgren and N. Bodln and Qus\nF. Berg of Trout Lake. The property\nhas an extension of the famous Pedro\nvein, which had one assay of 2,106\nounces of silver, of the Intermediate\nproperty of that name, and on this vein\na drift has been carried 220 feet, showing a pay streak of two feet six inches\nof gray copper and quartz, of which an\nassay. showed 557 ounces of silver and\n17 per cent copper.

FOSTER Manager\nTUESDAY, MAY 2\nKAMLOOPS   OR   JAIL?\nKamloops or jail appears to be tbe\nalternative offered to the members of\ntbe 102nd regiment by tbe latest order\nof the district officer commanding addressed to the officers of the corps,\nOf course, the officers and men will\nhave the option of paying fines, the\nformer of $10 per day and the latter of\n$5 per day for each day on which they\nabsent thtmselves from tho camp which\nlt haB heen ordered shall open at Kamloops on June 5 and continue for 12\ndays, hut the real effect of the orders\nis as Btated above\u2014Kamloops or jail.\nThe Daily News has no desire to in\nterfere in any way with the administration of military affairs in this district\nor elsewhere, but It must confess that\nIt feels that the ordering of the camp\nat Kamloops was in the first place a\nmonumental blunder and tbat in tbe\nsecond place it will appear to the\nordinary man that the drastic action\nWhich is hinted at is not in keeping\nWith the best interests of militia service, not only as pertains to the 102nd\nregiment but also to the principle of\nVoluntary military service upon which\nthe defense of the country is based.\nIn connection with the camp it may\nfirst be pointed out that a more inconvenient place than Kamloops for it for\npractically the whole regiment could\nscarcely have been chosen. Practically\nthe whole of the regiment would have\nto travel hundreds of miles to go into\ncamp at a place where there is located\nonly a single company of it. There is,\nin addition, the impossibility of most of\nthe members of the regiment being\nable to attend without neglect of their\nemployment or their business as the\ncase may be. The members of tbe regiment would one and all be only too\nplad to go Into camp for the prescribed\n' time if it was possible for them to do\nso without serious neglect of their several duties, but thts ls impossible. In\nthe face of this, for any such action to\nhe taken as It appears from tbe district\nofficer's orders Is possible may be taken\nwould be unfair to every member of\nthe regiment, to the regiment as a body\nand to the militia force generally.\nThe members of the regiment did not\njoin the militia to be penalized for inability to obey the orders of even a\ndistrict officer commanding to leave\ntheir private Interests for 12 days to\ngo into camp, especially after having\nperformed drill duties as a city corps,\nas the 102nd has up to the present been\nclassed. So far as the regiment Ib concerned Its disbandment is certain, If the\nKamloops camp Is Insisted upon and If\naction is taken againBt those who fail\nto attend. The regiment since Its organization has got along remarkably\nwell and gave every promise of remaining, as it Is at present, an important\nunit In the defense force of the country,\nThe effect, of the disbandment of the\nregiment under such circumstances\nwould also bave a bad effect on the\nmilitia work from one end of the Dominion to the other, for it is certain\nthat it would be a matter of more or\nless discussion throughout the whole\ncountry and would tend to prejudice\nthe public mind in this part of the country against Bupport of the force.\nAb The Daily News has before pointed out, while camp training, such as has\nbeen ordered, Is highly desirable, at\nthe same time much the same result\ncould have been secured by tbe establishment of camps at the headquarters\nof the various units which would permit of tbe men getting a grounding in\nthis particular phase of military duty\nas well as several hours' drill each day\nwithout being forced to lose; the entire\ntime from their businesses and callings. Then, if desired, a central camp\nmight have been held for a couple of\ndays, at which the various units located\nin the  Interior  could attend without\nHome\nDYEING\nb rb. way ,.\nSave Money\nPress Well\nTrrltl\nDYOLA\nJU\u00bbT THINKOr ITI\ntJ joK^aw-*\u2122 t\" \u25a0 i\"---*---*!.

The outcome\nwill he awaited with interest.\nFISH HATCHERY\nApparently there is at present a reasonable possibility of the establishment\nof a fiBh hatchery somewhere in Kootenay waters. This will he nleasing news\nnot only to every disciple of Isaak Walton but also to the public generally.\nThe question of the establishment of\na hatchery has now engaged the attention of various public bodies in the\nKootenays for some years and for a\ntime the task of interesting the department of marine and fisheries in the\nmatter seemed well-nigh hopeless. Constant dropping appears, however, at last\nto bave -done much to wear away the\nstone of government indifference and\nthere now seems a fair possibility of\nsomething being done.\nThe first evidence of this appeared\nlast summer when the superintendent of\nfisheries visited Nelson and looked into\nthe matter. As a result'of that visit\nand the continuance of the agitation\nfor a hatchery Mr. Robertson, superintendent of the HarrlBon lake hatchery,\nis-now in the district making a thorough\ninvestigation of conditions and on bis\nreport will likely depend to a large extent whether the wishes of the people\nof this section will be met ln this matter. If they are it will serve as a striking example of the desirability of keeping everylastlngly at it when anything\nis wanted in the public interest, for\nwhile the desires of the public will not\nlikely, and should not affect the report\nof Mr. Robertson or any other official of\ntbe department on. the necessity for\nBucb an Institution at the same time\nit must be remembered that it was because the matter was so often brought\nbefore the government tbat the officials\nwere finally instructed to investigate\nthe subject and report thereon. There\nare other matters affecting Nelson and\nthe district generally in support of\nwhich similar agitation might finally\nbring some official action.\nTEN YEARS AGO\nExtracts From The Nelson Dally Tribune of May 2, 1901\nGreat activity is reported in the Atns-\nwonth camp.

MAGLIO.\nNelson, April 28, 1911.\nW. E. Wasson, Esq., C.M.C. .Nelson, B.C.\nDear Sir.\u2014The undersigned, as owner\nand manager respectively of the Kootenay hotel on Vernon street, In this olty,\ndesire to draw tbe Immediate attention\nof the board of license commissioners\nfor the city of Nelson to absolutely erroneous statements which, according to\ntbe published report, were made at the\nmeeting of tbe commissioners held on\nTuesday last, the 25th Inst., concerning the Kootenay hotel,\nAccording to the published report of\nthe meeting his honor Judge Forln Is\ncredited with having written a letter to\nthe 'board etatlng that he was informed\nby a local rancher that the rancher's\ndaughter, another girl and two men had\nbeen frequenting the Kootenay hotel\nand one other place in Nelson and had\nthere been supplied with Intoxicating\nliquors.\nAccording to the published account of\nthe meeting in question also it was stated that a report had been read from\nChief of Police Young in which the\nchief Ib credited with saying: \"At 1:20\na.m. one of the girls was taken sick and\nwas conveyed to the kitchen. She was\ntaken to her home In the Kootenay hotel by the police.\"\nWe beg to say that bo far as the Kootenay hotel ls concerned, the two statements above referred to are absolutely\nand wholly untrue.\nNeither of the girls referred to was in\nthe Kootenay hotel on the occasion mentioned, nor were they, or either of them\nsupplied with intoxicating liquors, in,\nat, or from the Kootenay hotel, directly\nor indirectly, on the occasion mentioned.\nNeither of the girls was ever employed ln, or ever had her home'at the Kootenay hotel, nor rwos at any time ever\n\"taken to the Kootenay hotel by the\npolice.\"\nA great deal of publicity has been\ngiven to the Incident referred to, and a\nserious injury has resulted to the business carried on at the Kootenay hotel\nby the wholly erroneous statements\npublished concerning the hotel now complained of.\nThis is the only opportunity we have\nof making a public denial of the facts\ncharged in the published account of the\nmeeting of the commissioners, and in\norder to put our statement on record\nbefore the commissioners as well as\nthe public, and also for reference at\nany future time by subsequently appointed license commissioners, in all\nfalrnesB, we ask that this letter be at\nonce placed before the board with the\nadded request that the commissioners\nfurther inquire into the matter complained of and that an official statement\nbe given the press, correcting the published account of the meeting in question so far as the Kootenay hotel Is\nconcerned.\nMATE MALLETT.\nD. MAGLIO.'\nNelson, April 28, 1911.\nPROPOSED   NEW  CALENDAR.\nTo the Editor of The Dally News.\nSir: I was much interested in your\neditorial ln The News in reference to\nthe new calendar. I have been expecting to Bee more about It and not Beelng\nanything will have to say a few words\nmyself on a subject that I think we\nshould give all the support we can. It\nhas not been brought to the notice of\nthe people as It should have been as I\nfind very few persons who know anything about it. It was brought to my\nnotice about a year ago, and your editorial was the second time I have seen\nIt in print. The present calendar has\nserved its purpose and we want in this\npresent age something more simple,\nand the new calendar as laid down by\nthe committee is Bimple and easily understood and will reduce the time of\ncalculation from one month to another\nto a minimum.\nTake, for instance, the setting of a\ndate a month or bo ahead. With the\npresent calendar you would have to\nlook and see what day of the week it\nwaB going to fail on. With the new\ncalendar tbat would not be necessary,\nas every one should be able to memorize it in a short while.\nAnd the fixing of the movable holiday\nwould be a -step in advance. Take\nEaster, for instance, chasing the moon\nover the calendar for 35 days, which\nmakes it inconvenient in lots of ways.\nThe only parties I know of who would\nbe ln the least injured by the adoption\nof the new calendar would be the calendar makers, as the same one would\ndo year after year. Then we may expect to Bee our calendars on the wall\nrun by clockwork, as they would not\nhave to be changed every month bb\nthey are at present. The only day that\nwould Interfere would be leap year day\n(or I might say old maids' day), and\nas that day is only once in four years\nit would not be much trouble,\nNow, Mr. Editor, I hope I have not\ntaken up too much of your valuable\ntime. Let us bave aome more on the\nsubject. Bring it before the people and\nget every one Interested. Make it a\nlive Issue. Canada was one of the first\nin adopting standard time and let ub\nbe one of the first in adopting the new\ncalendar. J. H. CASSIDY.\nCranbrook, B.

Ample funds were\ncontributed, and a great educational campaign was carried on. authority to take a\nplebiscite was secured, and the result was\na victory so great as to amaze the \"boosters.\" It was a whirlwind campaign, for\nthere was clever opposition; but the young\nbusiness men threw themselves into the\nfight with great ardor, and brought out\nthe largest vote ever polled at a clvlo\nelection in St. John. One or two persons\nwere reported for violating tht speed law\nwith their automobiles, getting voters to\nthe polls, but no bones were broken.

M. R., In\nthe matter of attendance at the annual\ntraining camp, this b-eing the ultimatum\nreceived by the various captains commanding companies yesterday from\nCaptain Bennett, district staff adjutant\nfor military district No. 11. The adjutant expressed the desire that this\nalternative be widely published, evi\ndently for the sake of Its moral effect\non the men. To date every company of\nthe regiment has been against attendance, on the same ground as that' advanced by Lleut.-Col. Holmes of Kaslo,\ncommanding officer of the regiment,\nthat compliance with the order is Impossible In view of all the units being\ndrawn from the towns and composed of\npersons working at regular employment. The former ruling that the 102nd\nwas a city corps and therefore exempt\nfrom camp duty, being now reversed,\nQolonel Wadmore, in command of the\ndistrict, takes the position that the discussion on that point is closed, and\nhis recent' Intimation that reasonable\ncompliance with the training camp\norder would satisfy him Ib succeeded\nby the present Intimation that the arm\nof the law wfll be Invoked.\nAdjutant's Order.\nThe adjutant's circular letter to the\ncaptains, which created nothing less\nthan a sensation yesterday, Is as follows:\n\"O. C.\n\"I am directed by the D. O. C. to\nascertain from you, for his information,\nthe probable number of officers, N. C.\nOb, and men of the unit under your\ncommand who will attend the training\ncamp at Kamloops on June 5. This Information ls required not later than the\n15th of May.\n\"Your attention Is drawn to sections\n120 and 126, Militia Act (Appendix I, K,\nR and O) which should he made aB\npublic as possible in your district, and\nofficers commanding) units will be held\nresponsible that all ranks who are duly\nenrolled for Bervice attend this training\nunless legally exempted.\n\"C C. BENNETT, Captain.\n\"D. S. A., M. D. No. 11.\n''Victoria, B. C. 27th April, 1911.\"\nPenalties for Defiance.\nThe sections of the Militia Act to\nwhich the adjutant refers read as follows:\n\"120. Every officer and man of the\nmilitia who, without lawful excuse, neglects or refuses to attend any parade or\ndrill or training at the place and hour\naprtplnted therefor, or who refuses or\nneglects to obey any lawful order at or\nconcerning such parade, drill or training, shall incur a penalty, If an officer,\nof $10, and if a man, of $5, for each\noffense. Every day's absence shall be\nheld to he a separate offense.'\"\nAbettors Likewise.\n\"126.   Every person who\u2014\n\"(a) Resists any calling out of any\nman enlisted or drafted under regulations or any process prescribed for\nenforcing lnrollment by ballot; or\n\"(b) Counsels or aids any person to\nresist any calling out of any man, enlisted or drafted under the regulations,\nor under any process prescribed for enforcing enrollment by ballot, or the performance of any service In relation\nthereto; or\n\"(c) CouBBels or aids any man enlisted or liable to military service, not\nto appear at the place of rendezvous;\nor\n\"(d) Dissuades any man enlisted or\nliable to military service, from the performance ot any duty he ls required by\nlaw or regulation to perform; or\n\"(e) Does any act to the detriment\nof any man enlisted or liable to military\nservice, in consequence of his having\nperformed any such duty; or\n\"(f) Interferes with the drill or training of any corps or portion thereof; or\n\"(g) Obstructs any corps or portion\nthereof, on the march or elsewhere\u2014\n\"Shall incur a penalty not exceeding\n$100.\"\nAlternative of Imprisonment.\nThough the adjutant does not Include\nsection 130 in his reference, it. has a\ndirect bearing, and reads aa follows:\n\"130. Except as otherwise herein\nprovided, every penalty Incurred under\nthis act shall be recoverable, with costs,\non summary conviction .before one justice of the peace.\n\"2. In default of Immediate payment\non conviction, the convfoting justice\nmay commit the person so convicted to\nthe common jail of the territorial division for which the said Justice Ib then\nacting, or to some lock-up situate\ntherein, for a term not exceeding 40\ndays, if the penalty does not exceed\n$20 and for a term not exceeding 60\ndays, it it exceeds that sum.\"\nAs tbe camp lasts 12 days, and each\nday's absence constitutes a fresh penalty .every officer absent from camp\nwill Incur a fine of $120 and each man\na penalty of $60, with the alternative\nof 60 days in jail. Aa a matter of fact,\nIt Is generally understood that before a\nmember of the regiment can be prosecuted, the consent of the commanding\nofficer ls required to be-obtained. In\nthis case, if the commanding officer refused his consent to the wholesale prosecutions that would be necessary, he\nhimself would have to bear the brunt\nof the disfavor of the authorities.\nRegarding the information asked for\nby Capt Bennett, it Is understood that\nall the captains have made returns in\nthe last few days. So far as the Nelson\ncompanies \"B\" and \"C\" were -concerned, the returns showed that tbey would\nnot he represented at all.\nThe Kamloops company, right at the\nsite of the camp, has refused as a unit\nto attend.\nOf the Kaslo situation the Kootenai-\nan reports: \"At the weekly drill of tbe\nKaslo company of the 102nd regiment\nlast Friday night Lieut. Rlddell read\nthe orders Informing the 'soger' boys\nthat they were ordered into camp at\nKamloops for. 12 days beginning June 5.\nOn ordering'all to step forward who\ncould leave, no one moved In the rank.\nThis camp business if persisted in is\nlikely to lead to the disbandment.\"\nThe Rossland company offered to\nsend, at the outside, 10 men, provided\nthe last years' drill was paid for first.\nThe attitude of the Revelstoke company has not yet been announced.\nBack Pay Withheld\nThis matter of bock pay Is another\nminor sore point with the regiment.\nFor three years, in compliance with\ngeneral orders from Ottawa, the regiment has done the prescribed drill, and\nwas paid for the first two drills. It\nhas not yet been Inspected or paid for\nthe third drill, and last fall Col. Wadmore took the position that the regiment was not entitled to the inspection\nrequested.\nLocal feeling in regimental circles is\nthat tbe district officer commanding\nwill have to recede from his position\nor else that it means the extinction of\nthe regiment.\nBASEBALL GAMES YESTERDAY\nNational League\nWon Loat P.O.\nPhiladelphia  11      3       .786\nChicago 10      ll       .625\n\u25a0New  York    8       G       .GIG\nPittsburg*       8       6       .dE\nCincinnati     4      6      .4\u00ab\nBoston   B     11       .311\nSt.  Louis     3       7       ,M\nBrooklyn       4     10       .28)\nAt Philadelphia- R.

External evidence, as the book worms say, can alone\nbe quoted to support this statement as\nthe present time, as the direct evidence\nwill not be coming along until the harvest\nItself arrives, but, the external evidence,\nIn this case, Is all sufficient and quite\nweighty enough to be worthy of consideration.\nOne man in every dozen of Canada'*\npopulation Is a fanner. The figures, especially to those who live In the -city, are\nsomewhat surprising. Nearly four million\nof Canada's population of eight millions or\nthereabouts, are dependent upon farming\noperations for support. At this season of\nthe year every Man Jack Farmer is busily\nengaged. In one stage or another, growing\nsomething. He has been lying low and\ntaking It easy all winter, but he's out\nwith the birds now and he'B beating tiie\nsun to breakfast every morning. Most of\nthese gentlemen are devoting their energies to growing wheat. Dollar wheat, with\nIts unlimited market, is attracting more\npeople back to the soil than all the other\nagricultural cries put together. If a\nfarmer threshes out a good wheat crop\nhis troubles are over for a long time to\ncome, and the farmer thlB year will have\nmore acres under the wheat crop than\never before. ,\nCanada has the largest consecutive wheat\nfield In the world, 900 miles long by 300\nmiles wide. Last year she took a crop off\nthis area of about 150,000,000 .bushels. There\nwere 8,370,919 acres under cultivation. This\nyear It ls estimated that there Will be well\nover 9,000,000 acres ploughed and sown and\nthat Uie total crop will beat the figures\nof 1910 by about 33 per cent. This is r\nlarge gain for bo short a time as a twelve\nmonth, but, when you come to figure it out\nit does not seem at all Improbable. Immigrants have been swarming ln as never\nbefore. They will break virgin soil and,\nIn most cases, will put It to wheat. New\nlines of railways will be In operation this\nspring, giving hundreds of settlers their\nfirst opportunity to get their entire crop\nto market. Old farmers, who in the paBt\nhave devoted only a part of their time to\nraising wheat will, this year, neglect other\ncrops and turn their eara to the magic\nByren  call:   \"Dollar Wheat.\"\nThis increase ln the crop is, of course,\ngoing to be of huge benefit to tne (Jountry\nas a whole and in many spheres where\na plough Is never heard of great activity\nprevails In preparation for what Is coming. The wheat has to be milled, stored,\nshipped, reshlpped, graded, regradeu and\na' thousand other things before it finally\nappears on the banquet table of a foreign\npotentnge in the form of a fancy bit of\npastry, or on the kitchen shelf as good\nhome-made bread. Thus lt ls that others\nare busy these days 'besides the farmers,\nand tnus it Is that there will be great\ndoings in many lines this summer.\nNext to the farmers and the millers come\nthe transportation companies. The railways are showing what they expect In\ntiie way of a crop by Increasing their orders for freight cars and by hustling improvements and extensions on all sections\nrunning through and out of the wheat\nbelt. The lake carriers and ocean going\nfleets have never before been larger than\nthey will be tills year and both Inland and\nsea-going Bhips are clearing decks lor a\nbusy year.\nAibove all, Canadians themselves are\nbusy and  hopeful,  for all true Canadians\nADOPT THEM\nAdopt Ihe use of Classified\nWant Ads.

Eddie Phillips'\ncondition continues to assure his boat-\nmates that he will be all right for the\nbig race, and Jim McCualg ls already\nin fair shape. The others are rounding\nto In surprising style.\n\"When they step Into their shell at\nHenley they will be the finest trained\ncrew in the world,\" said an officer of\nthe Ottawas, \"Why, I never in all my\nlife saw such an -enthusiastic lot of\nworkers,\" The boys are pulling for\nChes. Payne's recovery, as the little cox\nls now regarded as in the same light as\nany other member of the champion\noctet.\nDespite the fact that the men who\nmade the big sweep of 1910 will he In\nEngland,, Ottawa will be well represented in the Canadian Henley at St.\nCatherines in August. Kilt, McCuaig,\nJolliffe and Sowden will not row fours\nat all this season, but will devote all\ntheir attention to the eight. Fred\nWood, Doc Nagle, Harold McCormack\nand Mac Skead looked promising last\nyear, hut as the club secretary, Mr.\nSkead, ls to accompany the eight to the\nOld Country this crew will also be Interfered with. However, there Is no\nlack of enthusiasm or material. , Ottawa\nwill certainly send junior crews to the\nOanadian Henley and If successful there\nan eight and a four may be sent down\nto the American National meet at Saratoga. It Is likely, however, that Ottawa\nwill send only junior crews to St.\nCatherines, but if they prove winners\nln their respective classes, they will, of\ncourse, be advanced to the intermediate\nand from thence to the senior, The\nspring fours, which are to be held early\nin June, will go a long way. toward deciding who shall be sent to Port Dal-\nhousie.\nTAILENDERS MAY\nSTRENGTHEN UP\nPortland and Victoria Team Managers\nSaid To Be Out With Axe-\nNew Men Mentioned.\nPORTLAND, Ore., May 1.\u2014Tt is believed here that the unsatisfactory\nshowing made by the Portland (Northwestern league) club caused Judge W.\nW. McCredte to go to Seattle to look\nover the team and possibly make several changes,\nWho is slated to go Ib not known\nhere, but lt is likely that several youngsters may be released and seasoned\nplayers put in their places.\nIrving Gouch, formerly a pitcher on\nCasey's Colts in 1909 and ln the outfield\nfor the New Haven club last season,\nwho was turned over to MoC-redie by\nCleveland, will be sent to the Northwestern league club providing that\nwaivers are secured on htm.\nCapital Team Changes Possible.\nVICTORIA, May 1.\u2014Before the season is far advanced the Victoria baseball team Is going to be strengthened\nconsiderably If reports in circulation\nhere, which come from semi-official\nsources, are correct. The most important of these Is to the effect that\nPlaying Manager Householder ls to have\na new and a good pitcher\u2014one who has\ngained a reputation in the east, and\nwho, if secured, will without doubt add\nmaterially to the stability of the twirling staff. Negotiations are under way\nnow, and a definite announcement may\nbe expected at an early date. A catcher\nalso is to be purchased if the man\nwanted can be induced to come to the\nnorthwest. The player in mind, it Is\nBald, is the same that acted as backstop\nfor Thomas last season In the Three\nI league. He is strongly recommended\nby Victoria's star slab artist, and it Is\nbelieved ls available.\nIt Ib understood that one, and perhaps\ntwo of those pitchers now with the\nteam are to be allowed to go, but this,\nit should he made clear, Is only hearsay.\nParkes, the southpaw now in the city,\nwill be retained.   He is considered to\nbave ability above the average. Bel-\nford, Narveson, Riggs and Roche, four\nof those wbo were left behind when the\nteam set out on Its present tour, are\nexpected to start for the prairies; tbe\ndomain of the Twilight league, any day.\nClementson, whose hitting is deemed a\nsufficiently strong factor to entitle him\nto a place, and who is in the city at\npresent nursing an injury received ln\nthe opening matches at Tacoma, will\njoin tbe Islanders at Seattle next week.\nCUBS AND SENI0R8 PLAY\nGOOD BALL AT CRANBROOK\n(Special to The Dally News.)\nCRANBROOK, B.

C.\nC.N.R. Trancontinental Terminal\nSole Agents on the Pacific Coast for this Special Terms Issue of The Canadian Northern Railway Convertible\nDebenture Stock.   Write for Particulars.\nThe Western issue ONLY is being sold upon the following easy terms and conditions and can only be obtained\nat the offices below.\nTerms $15 on application and $15 on allotment, balance in $10 calls at 60 days' notice before 1916, and are\nconvertible at option of holder into stock of the Canadian Northern Railway at par in 1916.\nThese debenture Bonds carry 5 per cent, interest on the full amount ($100) from date of issue, payable half-\nyearly.\nSubstantial Profits Accruing to These Bonds.\u2014The company claims that this issue is \"gilt-edged,\" fully equal\nas to security and profit possibilities to any investment offering. The stock being fully guaranteed as to principal\nand interest.    The interest is a first charge on the net earnings of the system.\nAs It is possible some may not realize the possibilities and exceptional\nterms offered to the Western public, we may remark tbat many prominent people (wiho are In no wise connected with the company) claim that\nthese Debentures by 1916 (five years from now) *will prove exceedingly\nvaluable, many believe that these profits may equal the original issues of\nthe CP.R. The latter stock, as Is well known, after providing bonuses of\n$1800 per share and paying $800 interest In the Interval, have (after providing these large profits) a market value of $226 per share and today are\npaying 7 1-2 per cent Interest annually.\n\"Where,\" some may ask, \"can these profits come from?\" The answer Is obvious, viz., from the development and sale of the vast subsidiary\nassets, as well as the enormously increased traffic returns of the railroad\nitself, which, although amounting to $16,000,000 last year, will be probably\ntrebled on the completion of the line In 1916.\nThe first Issue of C.N.R. stock is being made to the public of Western\nCanada under more favorable conditions than that of the C.P.R. for at the\ntime of that road's construction Western Canada was generally considered\na frozen waste, and that company sold much of their valuable lands at from\n$3.00 lo $8.00 per acre; whereas the C.N.R. is now selling their lands from\n$10.00 to as high as $20.00 per acre and much land In Manitoba has been\naoid at prices ln the vicinity of $70.00 to $100.00 per acre, so much are conditions improved since the construction of the C.P.R. some 30 years ago.\nThe profits accruing are being also enormously increased by the 200\nnew towns and cities the railroad has created, to say nothing of their coal\nlands, irrigation and swamp lands, all of which are very valuable.\t\nAlthough any allotted Debenture holder can pay up and Becure his\nDebentures at any time, yet It ls unlikely that the Company Itself will call\nup more than the deposit and allotment until 1916, simply charging English Bank rate of interest on the unpaid portion and crediting their account\nwith the full amount of Interest half-yearly, as It accrues due.\nWrite for Prospectus\nPORT\nTerminus Canadian Northern Railway\nWe have secured the exclusive handling of the first subdivision of inside city property at Port Mann and now\noffer same for immediate sale.\nThe property is located about 400 yards from the waterfront and close to C.N.R. wharves and railroad station\nRequest for Prospectus\nFill in, Sign and Mall Promptly\nCANADIAN RAILWAY SECURITIES CORPORATION,  Llmltrtd.

T. Albert Moore, general seeretary\nof the department of temperance and\nmoral reform of the Methodist church\nof Canada, in his address in the Metho^\ndist church. The doctor Is a forceful\nspeaker and he brought forward facts\nto prove his statement. He said that in\none city along the line of the Crow's\nNest railway he knew where a young\ngirl had almost fallen into the trap set\nfor her by two vile wretches. She was\nthe organist in a little Ontario town\nand she received a letter offering her\nthe position of organist In this certain\ntown at a salary of $1,200 per yeur.\nShe Immediately accepted. On the eve\nof her departure a Mr. Lee, who Is connected \u25a0with Mr. Moore's department,\nhappened to visit tho town. He heard\nabout her going and asking several\nquestions and learning that she knew\nno more than that she was going to\nbe organist in the Methodist church In\nthat town, he became suspicious and\nwired to the Methodist minister asking\nhim if they were hiring the young lady\nand asking also if he knew the man\nwhose name had been signed to the letter received by the girl.\nThe answer came back: \"Do not need\norganist and know no such man.\" Then\nhe was apprised of the rest of the information and this clergyman and six\nof the workers In his church went to\nmeet the train the young lady was supposed to arrive on and they saw two\nmen drive up in a cab and overheard\nthey talking and wondering whether\nshe would come ln the Pullman or tourist car. They decided that one of them\nwould watch each car so they could\n\"nab\" the girl they thought was coming.\nWhen she did not appear they seemed\nnonplussed and finally drove away, followed by another cab which contained\nthe minister and another man. They\nsaw the cab drive up to the most infamous house in the town and the two\nmen get out and enter the house and\nthe cab drove off again.\nThe doctor Bald he had proof for every\nword he said, but did not mention the\ntown.\nThomas Caven, M.P.P., is back on his\nold run again, on 313 and 314.\nA check for $60 on the Canadian\nBank of Commerce was lost yesterday,\nJ.

Dodge of\nUunenburg, VL, was called tor trial at\nthe Essex county court house ln this\nolty today It was the first time Blnce\ntiie conviction and execution of Mrs.\nMary Rogers for the murder of her husband six years ago that a woman was\nplaced on trial for her life in this\nstate. Mrs. Dodge, the .wealthy widow\nof the late X Marshall Dodge, former\nhigh sheriff of Essex county, ls charged, with the murder ot William Heath, a\npainter and decorator, who, at the' time\nof the murder was employed ln doing\nsome interior painting at the house of\ntbe accused.\nNot for many years Has any murder\ncaae attracted so much attention and intense interest ln this state and throughout New England as the case of Mrs.\nDodge. This is due partly to the fact\nthat she is a woman, wealthy *nd prominent in social and church circles and\npartly to the apparent lack of motive ln\nthe case. So utterly at a Iosb In as-'\nsigning a motive of the murder were Uie\nauthorities at the time of Mrs. Dodge's\narrest that, under the laws of Vermont,\nthe accused, although charged with murder ln the first degree, obtained her release under $12,000 ball. It is generally\nbelieved that the prosecution now is\nnot' a step nearer the solution of the\npuzzle than at the time ot Mrs. Dodge's\narrest.\nThe trial at which-Superior Court\nJudge Alfred A. Hall of Bt Albans Is\npresiding ,wlll probably last some time.\nSome delay is anticipated in selecting a\nJury, as the county has only a small\npopulation and the case has been -so\nwidely discussed-that it may be difficult to find 12 men who have not already formed an opinion aa to the guilt\nor Innocence of the defendant\nThe element of profound mystery but-\nSuccessful Fruit Growing\nts the natural result of an Intelligent*,\nuse of\nCHEMICAL FERTILIZERS\nFor potatoes use \"B\" Brand unless.\nyou have just plowed clover under, in\nwhich case use \"C\" Brand.\nGet the Potash Idea; lt pays.\nThe Brackman-Ker\nMilling Co., Ltd.\nBoys' Clothing\nHaving just received a complete\nrange of boy's suits we are now in a\nposition to satisfactorily clothe little\nmen.\nJ.
