If Mr. Watts is us successful in this campaign as he has been iu his tight against the railway corporations lie- lore the parliamentary liailwny Coin mlssloners, Independent retail lumbermen and consumers will owe him a debt ol gratitude.- -Editor, Wattsburg, British Columbia. The Keillor. Western Lumberman, Sir:—We are In receipt ol two marked copies ot your paper nnd note your virulent attacks directed against us, because we dare to advertise the tact that we will supply consumers with our products at points where the trade Is controlled by combinations ol mill owners and line yards; but not where independent retailers are doing a legitimate business. This you dub "pirating business," and state that "The Western Lumberman and the Western Canuda Contractor and the Commercial, Canada's greatest trade newspapers are warning every municipality and every tradesman in the west to beware of the take mail order or mill to consumer fraud. We believe it pays to let these sharpers put in a car at their lowest prices simply as a warning, it In generally always n case of never again." Whilst we cannot compliment you on the elegance of the language you use, we certainly can on the amount ot gall you exhibit when you dare to pose as the protector of tho retailer, the veneer you wear is too thin, Bjual- Ity too poor, No. 1 of that kind will not grade No. 6. Your true avocation or mission shines through as the champion ot the combines who have crushed out ot existence nearly one half of the poor retailers in the west. It would not pay you and you dare not come out openly as their champion, lor reasons so obvious it Is useless to waste space to explain them. Your threat that throe of Canada's "greatest trade newspapers" will make a vigorous campaign against this pirating business fake mall order mill to consumer fraud which is dying a hard death, has very little effect on the writer, who has had the honor of attacking far mightier corporations who are guilty of avaricious attempts on the pockets of the public, than are the combines you so plainly identify yourself with and he has not yet "died the hard death" you so generously predict. It you and your kind were the real friends ot the bona fide retailers you would tell the whole truth and not part of It, viz : that the independent retailer who gives the consumer a square deal is near the verge of extinction ; you know but will not tell it, that many scores of poor retailers have been ruthlessly crushed out of existence by combinations of mill owners and line yards and where such institutions have allowed n competitor to stay beside them ; the former are so absolute dictators as to prices and the division of the spoil. You know, but dare not tell it that large territories are absolutely nt the mercy of these modern Shylocks who have driven out the old retailer and all semblance of competition ln the lumber line, and that no retailer can compete with a mill owner If the later chooses to run him out. You know that a tew milling concerns own or control over 800 retail yards, that they have grabbed the best territory and dominate it with nutocratlc sway, If you don't know the consumers and their pockets do. You ask are we in harmony with the retailer? Most emphatically, Yes I But not with the minions of the mill owners you choose to call retailers who are owned body nnd soul by their masters. The writer has consistently lor years combated this selfish policy of certain mill men be has protested against it in Association meetings, written against It In the press, spok en ot It before the parliamentary commission appointed to Investigate the charge against the so called great lumber combine, and be predicts that a more searching enquiry will lie made regarding the latest phase ol combination which is a real and most effective monopoly In certain districts most Inimical to the trade and to the general public and you are apparently the authorised delendor and apologist lor this system of auda clous robbery ol the public and destruction of the independent retailer, and the only immediate remedy Is for mill owners to adopt the course wo have done and supply consumers where the monopolists control the situation ; but not where independent retailers are struggling to do n legitimate business.

AT 60ALGREEK Conflagration Wipes Out Fifteen Buildings ! Fernie, Aug. It! A disastrous fire j broke nut in the club house at Conl Creek shortly utter five o'clock yes- terduy afternoon, mid before the cou- hiagration waB under control fifteen buildings had gone up in smoke. The j explosion of a lamp in the basement ; of the club was responsible Tor the ; lire, and it had gained considerable headway before U< viae; ,'• ^covered ami the fire department notified. They fe- ' sponded quickly but were unable to I prevent the dames spreading to the ! adjacent buildings. | A high wind was blowing at the time, which carried the five to the residence and oflice of Dr. Workman, and this building was soon reduced to ashes. It next caught a row pf large boarding houses, the gaol and also the large department store ol Trltes-Wood company, and it looked for a time as if the whole town was doomed. A message was sent to the Fernie fire department asking for help and a special train, with chief McDougall and a portion of the brigade and equipment were soon away to assist the local men. The water pressure from the hydrants was not ciuite strong enough and so connections were immediately made with tho pumps at the mines and a desperate effort was made to stay the progress of the flames. It was not, however, until several cottages had been blown up with dynamite that the conflagration was brought under control and the fire checked. Fortunately the power house tipple and other plant of the coal company were not damaged and the mines are working as usual this morning. A number of cars loaded with mine timber were on a siding near the fire but with a liberal supply of wntor these were saved. Coal Creek is situated about five miles from Fernie and is the principle colliery of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company, a great many of the men employed there residing in Fernie. There was Considerable excitement when the news became known and crowds walked up to the scene of conflagration to render assistance. The loss Is partially covered by Insurance. Niagara Falls, N. Y., Aug. ifi—August Shorer, an eighteen year old hoy , of this city went to his death thi- afternoon in the whirlpool mpids after a gallant battle with the waters between the lower bridges and the pool. With three con i nan ions Shorer went for a swim at the old Maid of the Mist landing. He struck out. at i once for the middle of the stream i und then turned towards the bridge. I His companions called for him to turn back for the current is very ! swift at this point, but he kept on down stream and was caught in the great sweep, the first break from the smoother waters tn the rapids. The boy battled for a time against the current but to no avail. Evident ly realising that he was beyond human help und was to be carried into the rapids which took the life of Oapt. Webb and which have resisted every unaided human effort as passage, he deliberately turned down stream and began a grim fight for life. Not in all the history of the river has such a bravo battle been witnessed. Although but a frail boy ! Shorer went Into the rapids swim- I ming strongly and held his own until he struck the giant wave which j curls up opposite the old battery el- 1 evator. j He went under and for a second ; was lost to view of the people wiio ; stood on the lower arch bridge. Again and again he disappeared, only to re- I appear, each time fighting despurntc- j ly against the current but when with- | in three hundred ynrds of the whirlpool his strength gave out, be sank and was lost to view. Kvcn then he swam perhaps a hundred "tarda farther than did the Englishman, Oapt. Webb. Tlie body can now he seen in the whirlpool whore . men are waiting for It to be brought ' inshore far enough to be caught. over one hundred attended, including suine big children, but all young in heart. A kite was --cut up, much to the amusement of ilie youngsters and many gnmes were indulged in. The see-saw was greatly enjoyed, also the jumping board from the gymnasium. Fruit, lemonade and biscuits were served during the afternoon and the entertainment found its climax in the crowning of the queen. All present hqd a vote, and after a sharp and close contest Winnie Farrant received the highest number of votes. Winnie, however, did not care tu undergo the ordeal of a coronation, and Vera Hrudwyne, the one who received the next highest number of votes was crowned queen with n beautiful wreath of flowers. Four members of the Boys Brignd. formed n guard of honor, and the ceremony was brought to a llttinn close by the singing of The Maple Leaf ForOVor.

Cranbrook Should be First The development of n vast inland empire has been entrusted to un nnd we certainly would not be true to our duty II we did not seek to develop Southeast Kootenay on the lines ot mining and manufacturing Fed Safe It Is not at all surprising that the mining section tributary to (Van- brook Is attracting the attention of conservative capital. The 11**1*1 is a large oliu and capital has been looking to Southeast Kootenay as a place to Invest this money. That this Is true is evidenced by the number oi promoters who hnve engaged In all branches of mining during the past few years. Mining men with capital, will he here during the agricultural fair, and tho hoard in control of events should see that a mineral exhibit is one of the attractions and they will soon reach the conclusion that Southeast Kootenay is the I plnco they have been looking for and j that Oranbrook is tho centre ot a vast mineral district, that, has ship ping mines and prospects with a | most promising showing of mineral. uhangod Hands I The Creatnn Review, heretofore published by J. 3.

Tnt) hemier and Local Option The premier has ropoatcd the government's Intention of taking a plebiscite vote of the whole province to lind out if the people want a local option law put. on the statute books, and has Bald to Dr. Spencer that ample time will be given between the announcement and taking the vote. The local option people think they presented a large enough demand on Feb. 2nd but the government hesitate. It is to be hoped that if a provincial election takes place next I December, as is reported on the streets that the plebiscite vote re local option will be taken at the same | time, Dr. Spencer is giving address- es to both Conservative and Liberal executives and associations on this subject, urging the nomination of some local option candidates on each side. If this is not done, the sixty | leagues throughout the province Intend to add to the nominations ou | both sides. Local optionism keeps iu < the middle of the road as regards , politics and urges the election of the men who will stand for the principle of giving the people the right to settle the licensed liquor question and thus eliminate it from politics nlto- - gother. Fire at Marysville j At 4 o'clock Sunday morning an I alarm of tire was sounded and the inmates of the Central hotel aroused [to lind that a small building, nn an : nex to tho hotel was on 'Ire. The lire was of Incendiary origin, was confined tn small building and ! after an hour's hard Work, was ex , flngulshed. After the tire was subdued, un In- rostlgution took place which resulted in finding that some miscreant, bail thrown coal oil on the walls, und | left a can containing oil alongside Of the wall, which was set ou lire. The lire was discovered by a traveller who thought from the light i that someone wan In the kitchen, and Who aroused the inmates. This is the ! third lime that (he Centrnl hotel Ims been set ou (Ire nnd the gnvenniienl should carefully invest Ignto and if possible ascertain who the tire bug is that is persistently placing the i lives of Inmates nnd guests in danger. (MILDRKN'K PARTY The Methodist parsonage lawn presented a gay appearance on Wednesday last when Mr. Hughes was "At Home," to all tho hoys and girlc, Victoria, Aug. IS—Tho necessity of inaugurating a system for guarding against forest fires and the question ot examining timber conditions with the object of reforestation were two matters which came prominently before the British Columbia forestry commission at its session today. E. E Delltnghurst, manager of the British Columbia Development association, gave testimony, speaking of conditions in the dry belt. The removal of timber from these parts would seriously interfere with the efforts already made to provide irrigation. Without the protection afforded by trees, artificial lauds would dry up in the sun's rays. Under existing conditions fifty per cent of the water was lost in this way, by allowing standing timber in dry belts to remain, the government would bo consulting the interests of the* province. It. H. Campbell, dominion government forestry superintendent spoke strongly on the necessity of fire protection. He explained In detail the system adopted by the Dominion government showing the duties of the chief rangers in different districts according to the conditions that prevailed ; even the posting of notices outlining the dominion law had a salutory effect. Over a million acres of British Columbia lands were set nslde as reserves by the dominion, the primary object being the preserv- ntinn of timber. In making reserve selections non-agricultural lands are chosen. The federal government was now experimenting iu reforestation by seeding and planting. It was as yet impossible to tell if either method would succeed. The importnnt matter was that the loggers should leave the cut ground in such shape that it was suituble for reforestation. The second growth would follow quicker in British Columbia than in eastern Canada if the regulations governing the cutting of timber were observed. Mr. Campbell stated that the cost of protecting timber in the railway belt was heavy, thirty men being at the work. J. A. Say ward, one of Victoria's largest lumber mill owners, considered that lumbermen should assist the provincial government in defray ing the cost of lire protection. Personally he considered the cost should be equally divided. Asked for his opinion of the provincial policy of putting a duty on exported logs, Mr. Buy ward said that there would be certain classes of logs that were more profitable to export than others. In the Called States Cedar was scarce hut there was a surplus of this product here. This commodity should he allowed to Jiass into the States free. Mr. Sayward further advocated the Introduction of a regulation compelling the timber limit ladders to erect mills and to do a certain amount of development in stated periods. This would bar speculators! from handling British Columbia tim her and retarding its exploitation. IS, Mrdulfry, secretary of the Van couver Island development league, suggested that thu government should acquire reserves on Vancouver Island, These would not only preserve the: timber but have an educative value. ' W, A. Anstle, secretary of the Lum , her, Logging a forestry association j and of (he Mountain Lumber Manu Incturer's association, bus promised to secure nn estimate of Ibe amount, ol timber in the province, at the j<> quest of the commissi oner y, The lor entry commission continues Its ses Slons at Nniiaimo tomorrow. At The Sullivan The pumps nre now working steadily at the Sullivan group c,f mlnosj nnd the mines will be froo nf water by the Urn! of tin, month whon it i» exported that mliiini! will lie rosum- od, When there is mifudcnt ore nn hand to supply the smeller It will start up and both mines nnd smeller run continuously.

C lARBO MAGNETIC RAZORS have revolutionized rator makinjr-they are TEMPERED BY ELECTRICITY, wWefcfJ OUR OWN EXCLUSIVE SECRET PROCESS-the steel used in their manufacture is ot th« finest ftnglish ana Swedish make. This wonderful discovery is the result of years of experiment and study, and at last there has been produced a razor that will shave any beard, NO MATTER HOW TOUGH. • ELECTRIC TEMPERING adds CARBON to the steel; whereas tempering by fire, (the only other method known lor centuries) DESTROYS the CARBON which is the life of steel. AH other makes of razors must be HONED AND GROUND often, as their Wades will NOT hold an edee any length of time. CARBO MAGNETIC RAZORS do not requ.re HONING or GRINDING during a lifetime in private use, they are all tempered alike, every part of their blades being ■««!**to the same AMPERES OF ELECTRICITY. CARBO MAGNETIC RAZORS are ground FIVE times by the HAMBURG METHOD, the most expensive grinding known. i , YOUR DEALER will deliver to you one of these CARBO MAGNETIC RAZORS on 30 day.' tnaL wi hout obligation on your part to purchase-take advantage of this opportunity.
