It will be\nSpokane Local section of the American Institute of Mining Engineers.\nFollowing are the outstanding facts\nin connection with the coal miners\ndispute with the employers on Vancouver Island: Two thousand men\nhad an enforced holiday since May 1.\nEight hundred men have been on\nstrike at Cumberland and Ladysmith\nfor the last seven months. The mine\nmanagers declare that the men, having voted against the existing agreement will remain locked out until labor affairs are conducted by an exclusively Canadian miners union. Not\na pound of coal is being taken out in\nthe two mines at Nanaimo. Machinery at the mines is shut down, and is\nbeing put in shape for a long period\nof idleness.\nCopper Prospects are Good.\nThe following culled from the\n\"Weekly Copper Letter of J. L.\nWalker in the current issue of the\nBoston Commercial: Copper is strong\nat sixteen cents for lake, 15 3-4 cents\nfor electrolytic and 15 5-8 cents for\ncasting brands. The demand continues good both for domestic consumption and export. Producers are sold\nahead and the outlook is all that could\nbe desired. Whatever reaction there\nmay have hen thus far in other lines\nof industry, on account of tariff agitation, no let up is noticeable in copper mining. The producing companies are operating at capacity and are\nplanning to increase their output.\nThe report of the British Columbia\nCopper company for January and February, copies of which have been received, state that its smelter at Greenwood produced during the period 1,-\n388,573 pounds of blister copper, 2924\nounces of gold, and 16,703 ounces of\nsilver, valued at approximately $300,-\n000. January was credited with the\nheaviest output of blister copper, a\ntotal of 720,260 pounds having been\nshipped.\nDon't forget to renew your mining licence before midnight, May 31.\nR. A. Lambert, the veteran placer\nminer, has again replaced the dam on\nGranite creek near the north fork\nwhich was j washed away by high\nwater last year. He has made the\npresent dam secure as possible having\nanchored it in the solid rock on either\nside. The dimensions are: 80 feet\nlong, 10 feet deep, 12 1-2 feet wide,\nand an apron of 30 feet. Much interest is taken in Mr. Lambert's work,\nwhich if proven successful will give\nan immense impetus to placer mining\nthroughout the district. Gold and\nplatinum are known to be in the\ncreeks and rivers and it is hoped Mr.\nLambert may demonstrate the successful mining of these placers. His\nflume is 950 feet long, 5 1-2x3 feet\ninside, which will carry the creek at\nlow water.\nE. Marston. of Spokane, was in East\nPrinceton recently, attending a meeting\nofthe United Empire Company.\nPrinceton Coal and Land Co. have received orders as a result of the big coal\nstrike at the coast.\nMAN SEVERELY CUT.\nA serious affoffy, in which a knife wa\u00C2\u00BB\nfreely jreed^ccnrred ou Wednesday last\nwhofl A/rhelps and^.-Orr .mjxedin a\nh<5t6_''o__ce Phe'.ps is iu bed wouudei,\niHt-TS^Becfe-and near the heait, Orr is in\njail and will appear in the police court\non Monday if his victim is in condition.\nThe above seven lines of fact could be\npadded and extended to a column of yellow, sensational matter, throwing the two\nunfortunates into the lurid limelight.

The ads. are\nplaced in a circular frame above the seats\nand illuminated from within by electric\nlights. In connection with the advertising a library is kept for general use of\nguests and citizens. This library will be\nuptoday with the latest literature and\nwill be renewed as the times demand.\nMessrs. Whiang and Lindsay are bright,\nprogressive young men and have met\nwith a large patronage here.\nIMPROVING STOCK.\nRealizing that inability to secure\nthe use of wellhred male animals is at\nthe present time one of the greatest\ndifficulties standing in the way of live\nstock development in many parts of\nCanada, particularly in the newly settled districts, the Dominion Department of Agriculture, through the Live\nStock Branch, is this year undertaking a widespread distribution of pure\nbred stallions, bulls, rams and boars.\nThe original cost of the animals will\nbe born by the Department and they\nwill be placed in the hands of such local organizations as agree to the conditions governing the distribution. In\na word these sires will remain the\nproperty of the Department, but the\nlocal associations will be responsible\nContinued on page 3.\nreceive both the Dominion and pro\n.incial subsidies, amounting to about\n$10,500 per mile. The V. V & E. does\nnot ask for susidy but will have voice\nin operating and will have full running rights over the line; also it will\nhave a sayso in awarding of contracts\nfor construction and rights of supervision. Tenders will be called for\nsoon and work is expected to begin\nabout the middle of June.\nGrading on the V. V. & E. in Otter\nvalley, from Tulameen to Otter summit, is going on steadily.\nW. H. Burns has finished locating^\non the K. V. to near Semerad's andAs\nnow running a preliminary tojvarq\nAspen Grove, westward. He is camped\nat'J-UKe Gibson's ranch.\nSteel has been laid to Spuzzum on\nthe C. N. R. and it is expected to reach\nKamloops by the end of the year.\nThe first test hole for the K. V. R.\nbridge at Hope has now reached a\ndepth of 147 feet. After passing\nthrough a deposit of barren matter\nthe pump is again bringing up specks\nof gold in the gravel. Bed-rock, it is\nthought, cannot be for away.\nThe grade is completed on the K. V.\nto camp 21, near Osprey lake, 34 miles\nnortheast from Princeton. Sub contractors Carlson and Burns are about\nto tender for some 14~n_____-of grade\nbetween Osprey lake and Semerad's.\nL. M. Rice & Co. have got the main\ncontract to the latter point.\nThe big trestle across Trout creek, near\nSnmmerlajft. on the K.V. will be in\nshape todrntnit trains over it in early July.\nConstruction work on the K. V. is\n\u00C2\u00A3j_mpletely tied up from Kelowna to\n'Naramata, a distance of 47 miles. One\ncontractor is working a/gang of Russians this side of Nju__mata, but the\nstrikers have annojificed their intention of sending ar delegation to talk\nto these Russians. Trouble has not\nyet spread to the Summerland side\nof the lake, where general conditions\nin the camps are reported by men to\nbe much better, and where construction is much further advanced.\nAs a probable forecast of the railroad situation affecting Princeton and\ndistrict it is said that the Kettle Vp\nley line will have running rights o\\nthe V. V. & E. beginning at the ce\nent works at East Princeton and ex\ntending to Coalmont. In lieu of this\nprivilege it will give the V. V. & E.\nrunning rights over its lines to\nPrinceton and to Copper mountain\nwhen completed. The K. V. line to\nCopper mountain is expected to tie in\nwith the V. V. & E. at the end of spur\nto the Princeton Coal and Land Co's\ncoal mine.\nTRANSPROVINCIAL ROAD.\nThe completiou of this great provincial\nartery into town gives one an idea ofthe\nsubstantial nature of its construction. It\nis doubtful if the old Roman roads, which\nare the wonder of the world for durability, could have been built any better in\nthe same time.\nFollowing the old Hope road from its\nintersection with Vermilion avenue the\nT.P.R. ascends in graceful curve and\neasy gradient until it gains the first\nbench at the hospital. Wide roadbed,\nfirm and smooth, gentlv sloping iuwards,\nthe driver or pedestrian cannot fail to be\nimpressed with the finish and/scientific\nconstruction of the modern,___d.\nRoad building machinery and the\ntrained and experienced surpervisor have\nmade possible th^'construction of a trunk\nroad tfiat wiR#e creditable alike to the\ngoverm_n\u00C2\u00A3}*fand all connected with it. '\nSupervisor W. A.

The pay is $3 per day of nine\nhours. Bridges over Nmeinile and Whip-\nsaw are about ready for traffic.\nRoad Superintendent Turner and Engineer Cleveland made an inspection of\nthe completed road this week.\nThe scenic effect of the road is very\nstriking in its approach to town. Tourists in their cars will have many beautiful views for their mental and pocket\nkodacks as they near town from either\neast or west.\nGREAT POWWOW.\nSpokane, Wash., May ?V.\u00E2\u0080\u0094To promote closer commercial relations between all parts of the Inland Empire a congress of commercial and industrial interests will be held in Spokane during the Pow Wow, June 16\nto 21. Among the subjects to be discussed are the. expected change in\nbusiness conditions following opening\nthe Panama canal, Palouse irrigation\nproject, Quincy valley project, logged-\noff land question, farm marketing,\ncommunity development and county\nagricultural agents. The Inland Empire Development league probably\nwill be organized at the conference,\nwhich is being arranged by H.

Some\nyears ago the matter was brought\nto public notice throijgh the board\nof trade. Through the commendable enterprise of a few private citizens a pure bred stallion has been\nimported recently for service in\nthis section. The stock sired by\nthis horse have won great favor in\nthe states. Farmers and other\nhorse breeders in this district have\nnow a fine opportunity to better\ntheir stock with a splendid type of\nanimal suitable for general use.\"\nThe days of theliorse are by no\nmeans numbered, as some predicted\nwhen the chug-chug, buzz wagon\nand guzzy-fuzzy came with their\nbad odors and villainous eyes darting through space by night. The\nborse responds to man's voice and\nkindness forming a bond of mutual\naffection utterly absent in the gasoline go-devil. The horse is here to\nstay and he must be beautiful,\nstrong and fleet.\nsonal welfare, her home, her children, her property. To treat her\nas if she were incapable, irrational,\nor unfit, stultifies and retards the\nprogress of humanity. Wherever\nwoman hears the call ot duty no\nact of parliament should stand in\nher way. Star is not in sympathy\nwith riotous militancy, but it has\nmore respect for the one who is\nready to suffer, aye die, for a cause\nthan the chicken-hearted premier\nwho recently denied ^quality of\nright to woman.\nThe senseless opposition to 'votes\nfor women' has its foundation in\nselfish uncharitableness and egotistic superiority of man\u00E2\u0080\u0094'lord of all\ncreation.' He has an unholy fear\nof woman sharing in the glories\nand honors of national achievements in the betterment of humanity. Moreover he fears that woman\nmay supplant him in the field of\nlegislation which he now so jealously and exclusively monopolizes.\nCoward ! Is not woman the better\nhalf of humanity? At least she is\nman's equal, both created in God's\nspiritual image and likeness. Is\nthat not enough to forever settle the\nquestion of equality of the sexes ?\nWoman's sphere is so indissolubly\nbound up with that of man that it\nis impossible to legislate without\nboth being affected. No man with\neither chivalrous or generous principles would refuse his mother and\ns ster the same liberty he enjoys.\nT.ierefore, the right of woman to\nuse her voice and to vote is inalienable. As a part \of the human\nfamily woman is entitled to a voice\nin everything that concerns he per-\nThe ever changing view obtained\nfrom the roads in and around the\ntown are a source of delight and\nsurprise to all. Beautiful perspective stretching miles away to the\ngreen hills and the everlasting snow\nbound peaks, surprising vistas\nthrough the trees, the music of the\nrippling rivers, the ground covered\nwith lovely wildflowers, the appetizing breath of the pines, all make\nman thankful to still be permitted\nto be on 'deck.' The views put in\nillustrated folder would not only be\nan attractive advertisement but\nwould be a souvenir worthy of\npresentation to one's close friend or\nto the king. Now that the town is\nemerging from primeval conditions\nto citified ambitions it would not be\namiss to assist nature in her elaborate beautification. Planting of\nornamental trees along the streets\nand the fitting out of a public square\nare readily suggested to minds of\ncitizens favoring attractiveness and\nbeauty.\nStrides toward universal peace\nare long and swift these days.\nPeace conventions,peace centennials\nand peace conferences are events of\nthe passing day. Men high in\nthe world's esteem, those gifted in\nstatecraft and all 'who seek peace\nand pursue it' are in some measure\ncontributing to the rising of the\nsun of universal. War is a wicked\nhumbug. Anything born of jealousy, malice or greed is evil, hence\nwar is an evil; it is a huge crime\nfrom beginning to end. The encouragement of the military spirit\nis a wrong. Physical training,\ndiscipline, bravery or anything good\nsoldiers are taught can be learned\nby peaceful methods and without\nthe use of sword, knife, bayonet,\ngun or other weapon. Canada is\nabout to contribute a huge sum of\nmoney which she must borrow from\nthose she presents it to and which\nshe must stagger under for years to\npay, to^be used in building warships soon to be relegated to the\nscrap heap. A contribution of\n$^5,000,000 toward the cause of\nuniversal peace would be of permanent benefit and something our children would bless us for, but invested in emergencies and war scares to\nplease the jingoes that blessing\nwould be turned to cursing.

With this primary object in\nview, stove experts have invented means of absolute control over the distribution of heat to\nevery part of the range.\nThe Gurhey-Oxford is constructed with a\nDivided Flue that carries the heat to the back\nof the stove through two different divisions.\nBy this scientific arrangement the two back\nlids of the stove are given equal cooking value\nand the oven is thoroughly surrounded by a\nsteady even heat.\nWith a Gurney-Oxford, it is never necessary to open the oven door several times during the baking of a pan of biscuits to turn\nthem around next the heat.\nEiscuits, pastry, cake, or bread all bake evenly,\nrise evenly, and brown evenly without any attention whatever from the cook.\nA simple device aptly called the Economizer\nregulates the exact temperature of the oven\nby moving a small lever around a series of\nsix notches. A woman soon learns the important value of each notch, one of which immediately checks the hottest fire and keeps it\nlow until she requires it again.\n\u00C2\u00ABg|) A wonderful cooking reputation is made and\n\u00C2\u00A31$ 1'vec* UP to trough a Gurney-Oxford rangg.\n$g\u00C2\u00BB FOR SALE BY\nThe A.

O. LYALL, Manager\nTIRED OF MILITARISM.\nPublic opinion in Italy, at least\namong the lower classes, shows signs\nof weariness at the increasing expenditure by the government on military\narmaments and colonial expansion.\nIt had been stated at the beginning of\nthe Tripolitan campaign that the\ntreasury was in a position to meet the\nexigences of the longest war without\nhaving recourse to increased taxation.\nThe people have found, it is stated,\nthat though no direct taxation had\nbeen imposed on them, the government\nhas obtained the money it needed by\nmeans of disguised loans 'the last one\namounting to four hundred million\nlire, and by the appropriation of the\nexcess of income tax until 1930. The\ncost of living has increased rapidly\nand unemployment is rife. The discontent which these conditions have\nfostered has added many supporters to\nthe ranks of the Socialists, whose party program includes the strongest opposition to militarism and imperialism.\nTHE SINS OF WAR.\nThe Socialist leader, Liebknicht, in\nthe German Reichstag accused a Berlin armament firm of sending emissaries to provide a certain section of the\nFrench press with material for agitating against Germany. He also accused the Krupps with employing secret agents to corrupt German officers\nand officials of the Prussian war office\nin order to obtain information of\nforthcoming contracts and also an insight into the offers of competing\nfirms. The Minister of War admitted\nthat one of the Krupp officials had\nbribed some Government officials to\nreveal certain information.- He expressed disbelief in the charge of stirring up trouble between France and\nGermany. The feeling caused by the\ncharges, however, has overshadowed\nevery other subject before the public.\nRELIGIOUS SERVICES.\nAnglican services will be held on Sunday at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.\nChristian Science lesson-sermon sub\nject next Sunday: 'Mortals and immortals.'
