Arrangements Jor Big Convention The steamer Tees is due from Victoria this evening. Alfred Carmichael, Port Alberni, left this morning for Victoria and Vancouver. Fred Rust and wife left this morning for Kamloops where they will, in fu- ^B_k reside. Leonard Frank is now showing a series of picture postcards bearing! views of railway construction. Mike King, the well known timber man, who had been on a business trip down the canal, left this morning for Victoria. Alterations and improvements are being made in the interior of the Somass hotel. Alterations have also been made in the rules of the house. Breakfast is now served as early as 6:30, ar.d arrangements have been made to receive guests at all hours and see that they catch boats or stages at any hour of departure. The dance given in Waterhouse's hall, on Wednesday night, under the auspices of the Alberni District Civilian Rifle association, was the most successful social function of the season. A number of new-comers and visitors contributed to make the affair enjoyable. The floor was under the able management of J. J. Burke, while Mrs. Ward ar.d George Ward furnished the music. FOR RENT. -Small house with ground, at Milltown. Address, A. Thompson, Beaver Creek. New Town Activity. According to various reliable advices the announcement that the Alberni Land company would put its Port Alberni townsite on the market has aroused a marked interest among investors in Vancouver, Victoria and other cities. "The desire to get in on the ground floor is so strong," remarked a man who is in direct touch with outside feeling, "that the company will not have a lot left on its hands a week after the sale opens." Residents who secured reservations, on building conditions, about a month ago, find today that they can obtain on an average an increase of 25 per cent, on the price they agreed to pay the company. None of these holders seem anxious to sell, but a number of deals in older holdings have gone through during the past week, and the prices paid have been a good advance on previous figures. A number of buildings are now under construction in the new town, and plans for others are daily appearing. G. H. Bird is arranging to build two stores on Second avenue, north of the Alberni Hardware company's place of business. H. L. Murtz has commenced work on the foundation for a two-storey build- j ing on Third avenue close to Argyle street. Stumping and burning will be com- ! menced next weed on two Third avenue lots, owned by R. J. Burde who will ' let a contract for a two-storey frame building. Real estate agents in the old town report active dealing in outlying acreage, and an occasional transfer of inside property. Dates and Programme. R. F. Blandy, secretary of the Port Alberni Board of Trade was in Victoria this week and practically completed arrangements with Secretary McGaffey for the holding of the Vancouver Island Development League convention. The itinerary, as suggested, calls for Friday, July 15, as the big day when speeches will be made and views exchanged. If this date is agreeable to the executive, the Victoria party will leave the preceeding day, July 14, by train. It is likely that the railroad will be completed as far as French Creek by that time, after which there will be a drive of 25 miles to Alberni. On the morning of the 15th it is proposed to have the meeting in the old town and the afternoon meeting in the new town. In the evening it is proposed to have a banquet at the Somass hotel. The next day is to be spent in sightseeing and probably also a part of Sunday. Carriages and autos will be provided and visitors will be taken to Sproat lake and to other points of interest near Alberni and later launches will be provided for trips down the canal. The Steamer Tees will arrive on Saturday, and if the arrangements can be made successfully she will be held over until Sunday morning so that any visitors who desire to do so may take passage on her. Old Town Lots Now on Market It was announced by the local agents of the Alberni Land company, this morning, that townsite lots in the old town may now be had on application at the agents' office, Port Alherni. Locomotives Arrive At Port Alberni Two locomotives, about forty large dump cars, and several tons of steel rails for the Paterson Contracting com- | pany were unloaded from the Princess ; Ena at Port Alberni yesterday. The old dump ears and horses that have been used to carry the dirt from the big cut near Waterhouse's wharf wiUjbe done away with, and it is figured that, with the new equipment, much more rapid progress will be made on the railway grade. Dispute Over Meat. Since his appointment to the county court bench His Honor Judge Barker will hear his first case in Alberni on Tuesday next. The dispute is between Stanley Bayne, of Beaver Creek, and A. Sproat, representative of P. Burns & C, which firm has the contract for supplying meat to the railway con- . struction camps in this vicinity. Mr. i Bayne is sirng for compensation for j beef which he killed and delivered to Mr. Sproat and which was rejected by the latter on the ground that it was not fit for consumption when delivered. Ready to Cut. Culliton Brothers' saw mill at Loon lake is now practically complete and it is expected that the work of cutting timber will be commenced next week. J. A.

There are two cities on the Pacific Coast that have of late been enjoying more than a full share of notoriety by reason of the frequency of shocking crimes within their limits. Seattle. Wash., and Prince Rupert, B. C, are the places that loom disgustingly before the eye of the reader of daily newspapers, and there seems to be a close relationship between the lawless elements that are holding high carnival in the two cities. A remarkable point about it all is that only a few weeks ago both Seattle and Prince Rupert were notable for their law-enforced virtue. The Social Evil history is simply repeating itself. When the lid is closed down and pressed down too tightly on natural desires the seeds of vice which thrive best in the darkness to which misguided people banish them, begin to sprout and they grow in mysterious ways till they find themselves out in the light. Then they run riot. The advocate of Blue Laws has yet to show where he has been able to accomplish any real reform or even produce anything more than a temporary deception. While he has to be credited with better intentions than the advocate of "wide-open" life he has not proved his claim to much more favorable recognition along the line of results. He unwittingly aids the lawless man, and is logically responsible for a share of blame for what the latter brings about in just such cases as are here under discussion. Getting back from the blame to a contemplation of the conditions it is a most shocking state of affairs to find a newly-born Canadian city thrown headlong onto a moral par with about the worst there is—and at its worst- in the United States. Unless the municipal authorities of Prince Rupert are willing to make a more decent showing—and there is no doubt but they can if they want to the charter of the city should be taken out of their hands. If necessary it should be revoked. have been had a man of less probity ancl sincerity administered the department of finance through that critical period. "His sudden and unexpected death leaves the public life of today the poorer, but his name and record will enrich the pages of our history and form an incentive for disinterested public service by the younger generations of the province." OPPONENT'S GRACIOUS TRIBUTE. This tribute to the worth of the late Capt. R. G. Tatlow was paid by H. C. Brewster, M. P. P. for Alberni district: "The death of Capt. Tatlow removes from the public life of this province a man whose friends and admirers were almost as numerous among his opponents as among those of his own party. I sat in the legislature with him for three sessions and notwithstanding that I was usually opposed to him, I formed a deep regard for him on personal grounds and a sincere admiration for him in his administrative capacity as a minister of the crown. "I always regarded his influence in the public life of this country as salutary, because of his high personal honor, and especially from the confidence which the business community had in any assurances which he made to them. A moment's reflection upon the financial conditions in British Columbia at the time he assumed office will indicate how disastrous it would It is the intention of Hon. W. J. Bowser, provincial attorney-general and min'ster of finance, to shortly make a tour of the province with the object of acquainting himself first hand with conditions generally as affecting the several departments over which he presides. Particularly he will investigate the conditions in localities which have made application for the establishment of new land registry offices, government offices and court facilities, in order to report, with recommendations, to the government. Thackeray, the author, once had an ambition to become a member of par- laiment and stood for Oxford against Lord Monck. Meetv ig his opponent on the street one day Thackeray shook hands with him, had a little talk over the situation, and in taking leave of him said, "May the best man win." "I hope not," said Lord Monck, very cordially, with a pleasant little bow. "They tell me," said the innocent maid, "that your marriage was the result of love at first sight. Is it true?" "It is," answered the round- shouldered man, sadly. "Had I been gifted with second sight I'd still be in the bachelor class!" FOR SALE Black Minorca Eggs for hatching. $1.00 a setting.

He died in the Jubilee hospital, Victoria, at 12:30 on Monday morning from the effects of injuries received in an accident on Friday afternoon of last week. Capt. Tatlow was driving in a two- wheeled cart. He had just left the Nurse's home, on Vancouver street, after paying a visit to his daughter who was at the home, when his horse took fright at a passing automobile and dashed against a telephone pole and hurled him, with great force, onto the cement pavement rendering him unconscious. The injured gentleman was quickly conveyed, in an ambulance, to the hospital where it was found that his injuries were so serious that but little hope for his recovery could be entertained. From the time the accident happened he scarcely showed any sign of recovered consciousness. Robert Garnet Tatlow was born on Sept. 6, 1855, at Scarva, County Down, Ireland, the son of John Garnet Tatlow and Anne Tatlow, his wife, both of County Cavan, Ireland. He was educated at Cheltenham, England. He married in April, 1893, Miss E. M. Cambie, daughter of H. J. Cambie, C. E., of Vancouver. He was formerly a captain in the First Prince of Wales' regiment, Montreal, and was attached for over a year to B. battery, R. C. A. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Vancouver to the legislature in 1894. He was elected to the legislature at the general elections in 1^00, and re-oleoted in 1903. He was cr* man of the Vancouver parks board for eight years. He was appointed minister of agriculture and finance in the McBride government in 1903, and retained it until his retirement in November of last year. In the former capacity he instituted the annual provincial exhibit of fruit in Great Britian. Blue Funnel The SCOTCH WHISKY that is making a record. "PENSIONER" GIN Comes Next. JAS. R.

Her father found that sympathy only increased this unfortunate tend.ncy, and decided to have a serious talk with his little daughter on the subject of her foolish fears. "Papa," she ventured, at the close of the lecture, "when you see a cow aren't you afraid?" "Why, certainly not, Adelaide. Why should I be?" "Well, when you see a dog, aren't you afraid then?" "No, indeed!" with marked empha- si_ on the "no." "Aren't you afraid when it thunders, papa?" "Why, no," and he laughed at the thought and added, "Oh, you silly child!', "Papa," and Adelaide came closer and looked into her parent's eye, "aren't you afraid of nothing in the world but just mamma?"

Have a known, but every one cannot afford a simple nozzle with no power spraying apparatus when first bringing an orchard into bearing. However, there are hand pumps manufactured now which serve the purpose very well and by wh'ch a certain unit of efficiency in spraying can be reached. Such pumps will cost from sixty to seventy-five dollars, exclusive of hose, rods and other fittings. When you go below this cost you are getting little for your money-so far as direct results are concerned. By such direct results we mean lack of pressure and the maximum amount of labor and materials used. Every practical man knows that pressure is the most essential thing in spraying and that spraying is not done properly under ninety to one hundred pounds presssure and one hundred and tw.;nty-five to one hundred and eighty is better. Those who have tried know that, while most men can run an ordinary pump at sixty to seventy pounds pressure all day, few will run at a hundred pounds. Get a pump with a large air chamber and a steam guage attached, a pump which a man can run all <lay at ninety to a hundred pounds pressure. There are projectors to catch in the limbs, a nozzle with as little angle as possible that the orifice may be straight with the line of force. If it is desired to spray down into the buds as near as possible a nozzle ell may be attached to the end of the rod and the nozzle attached to this. This is an elbow with an angle of about forty-five degrees. With your spray outfit have a small tool box and therein have two small monkey wrenches and a can of lubricating oil. Keep a supply of rubber washers and some heavy axle grease. If your nozzles leak put a little of this grease on the threads. Have a supply .if hose bands and a roll of copper wire for mending hoses, and last, and of all most important, a pair of pliers with a screw driver on one handle. They are invaluable to cut wire, unscrew hose bands and loosen nozzle caps to remove d'rt. A good pair of such pliers will cost about a dollar and a quarter. Rapidity in delivering your spraying solution from your mixing tanks to your spray pump tanks means economy in cost of spraying operations. It is therefore profitable to have a system COMMERCIAL PRINTING New Type Faces and the Latest and Best In Stationery. Bill Heads. Statements. Envelopes. Letter Heads and Note Heads. Receipts.

In the use of the prepared stock solution of lime sulphur which is now manufactured and recognized as a standard fungi and insecticide, many people add lime before using to heat and increase 5 its caustic properties. In such case it is not wise to put the lime into the spray tank. It should be placed in the mixing barrels and strained into the pump tank. In the use of the lime sulphur solution hot water is a most essential item, and a boiler fitted for steam heating the barrels is sometimes an expensive article. A rather handy apparatus may be rigged up by obtaining one hundred gallon galvanized iron oil drums and taking one end out of them and building a brick fire box beneath them. These drums may be purchased from the chemical works at a reasonable figure. There is much room for improvement in these lines and the practical, ingenious orchardist will get the results.
