"Persons holding trade licenses, the annual feu uf which is nol less titan iaMti, are also untitled to Vote, bul if you claim to be a householder and lo vote as such then there is a wide field of speculation as to lhu effect of the statutes to enter on. "The statute of 1JI02 says that a householder who has paid un or be- fure December 31st iu the year immediately prior to the dale of nomination, all the municipal rates, taxes, assessments, rentals and license fees (which are nol chargeable on tne land) and which hu shall owe tu the municipality be shall be entitled tu vole; and if he owes nothing then be will nnt be debarred; hut Un* Act of 1905 defines a householder lo be one who holds and occupies a dwelling, tenement, hotel or boarding-house or any part or portion of a dwelling, tenement, holel or bs.iardiiig-huu.se within a municipal ly, who has paid to the municipality rales, taxes or fees of not less than $2.00 during the current year, i.e., the year prim to the election. 'All persons who would under llie ordinary acceptation of the term bu deemed householders would not -be entitled to vole as such because all such persons will not have lite privilege of paying Ute $2,110 or more taxes io the lowu. A good many householders will be paying other taxes, and as to these, of course, tliere will be no uncertainly, but a great many will only pay* the road las of $2.00 per head; and who will pay this tax is also uncertain, because, although lhe Aet provides! Uiat male persons between the ages ol Jl and 50, residing within the' municipality shall pay sueli taxes,, jet in another part of the Municipal Clauses Act the council is given | power to define which of that class oi persons they will charge this tax against. Then, again, males over 50 and women over 21 yeais of age neither ol whom can be assessed under the mad tax, may not be paying any other taxes and consequently will not be able to vote, no matter what amount of rent they may be paying. lu the wisdom of the legislature tbe provision contained in lite Municipal Election Act of 181)7, whereby a householder was defined as one paying a rental of JiiO.OO per annum, was repealed, and lbe new, definition requiring nothing but lho, payment of $2.00 or more to the' olty, substituted. | "If ymi find that, you are entitled! lo vote as a householder or a holder' ol a tnwlo license then you are siill liable to he defeated of your rights should yuu neglect lu make a statu-1 i i> declaration on ttie form, three oi foui limes revised by the statute* and as now contained in lbe Municipal Elections Act, Amendment Act 1005, .md deliver Hie same lo the (*iiy Clerk within 48 hours after making II and before 5 o'clock in tho afternoon on Uie day thu list is closed by Lha clerk, namely, on the Slsl day of December, unless the ;ilst day In- a Sunday, in which ease it will close on Saturday, December ■'"'tli, and llial is the case Ihis year.

Deckel "Ml Staples is president, C, W Ruwluy, vice-president and myscll secretary* treasure) and managing director. The company has iis general offices in Calvary and has now aboui fifteen yards in operation throughout the province, li has been Mr. Staples' idea Irom lhc time Ihal he lust engaged in ihi- manufacture ol lumbei iu this country ih.it the best way to servo the manufacturer and look after ihe interests of the consumer was to become Interested in yards in lln- territory that furnishes the market. This company is a distinct organization from il.e Staples Lumber company, although Mr. staples is interested in it. li is our intention to meet the demand ul the consumer and with thai idea in view wo will handle lime, brick, cual, and in some uf the towns wagons, carriages and agricultural Implements. We will also buy thu product of the fanner, either his gram, dairy product or beef, and whal he does not care to take iu what we have to sell we will pay cash for, This part of the business will be handled In a wholesale way at oui Calgary headquarters. 1 have visited all the principal towns of Alberta during the past time months, and when I started on my trip l thought that the chances Ior the lumber business next year were verv fair, but nuw I know ihat they are good. Wc will handle the product ol oilier mills as well as ihal nf the Staphs Lumber company." .Mr. Decker is a young man of experience and ability wiih unlimited energy and he will make a success in his new field. Hu will be succeeded in thc local management uf the Staples company by D, R. Yates, another young man whu is a hustler and business from Ihe word go. Mr. Staples has the faculty of gathering about him young men'who are reliable, energetic and believe in onlv one thing in their work and that Is success. MIL CIIUDLEIOM PROMOTED. lv L.

Mrs. Ohud- b'igh will be missed in social and church circles where she has been a universal favorite.

ONE MAN KILLED AND MUCH DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, Rossland, Deo. 16.—At 2 o'clock lliis atti'riiooii about a uut of gelignite in lite thawing house ot the Center Star mine exploded, tliroti|-li some unknown cause, killing John S. Ingram, formerly chief of police here, ami also at ualgaty anil Winnipeg, ami injuring several scores ot people. Ingram was In charge of the powder, and his death removed the only possible source of Information as to the cause of the explosion. His hotly vvas removed Irom the debris badly mangled, Lockhart, assistant diamond drill operator, who was al work under the Center Star oHices, was badly cut about the head antl legs, but will recover. Several members of the nllice stall and men in the compressor building were hurt by Hying glass or by being thrown violently against the machinery. Buildings in llie Immediate vicinity were twisted out ol shape and liie windows all broken. The big War Eagle boarding house is badly damaged, some of the inmates being slightly injured. In the cily the shock of the explosion caused much consternation and did a large amount of damage. Nearly all the plate glass windows on Columbia avenue were smashed, many people ■iving cuts from the fragments. I'he merchants had their Christmas gootls displayed, much destruction being wrought among these, The amount of glass destroyed is enormous, and heavy Importations lor repairs will be necessary. The citizens leel thankful, nevertheless, that the loss of life and properly was not greater, The Center Slar, War Eagle and l.e Roi mines will be shut down for a few days, because of Injury tn the steam and air pipes and compressor machinery and the practical wreck nl the buildings containing them. The damage cannot he exactly appraised, but ii is thought it will reach probably $50,000, John S. Ingram loaves a widow and five children. The list ol ihe Injured: K. M. Hrown, badly cut abonl head. Mrs. E. M, Purcoll, liadlv cut, Mrs. Oiiirgc Cain, cul aboui face. Mrs. Leary Donohiie, badly cul and bruised about face and wok. Wm. Lockhart, nose severed. Wm. Tomllnsnn, nose cut.

Victoria Colonist: Wilh the announcement ol the sale ul tho -Mc- .Mill.iii-Kobiiisuii gioup uf iron claims un Hooker creek, au allluenl of Kootenay lake, tu eastern capitalists, ai contained In a despatch Irom Nelson published yesterday, mining men 1 **AAA*A*A*WVVVVAA**WyA^*VA^WSi^^^VVVVV* I Ihal quainted with the conditions In district are enthused over the | biJit) of the carl) establishment ol a big sted making industry in southern British Columbia. Interviewed with regard tu ihe sale and the probable uiu look tui thu erection uf tolling mills 1..I die manufacture uf hum uuu .unl steel, tt. Blakemore, M, K., ul Nelxou, who Is iu ihe city, stated iu a Coiuiusi reporter that lie bad recoived confirmation of ihu sale, lie is well acquainted with lhu properly having in October made a report on the group fur lhu owners and lhu prospective purchasers, It is un his report that the purchase has noon concluded. He said: ' I have for five years done my ut- most tu direct attention tu the hematite deposits of Koolenay, and ever since 1 negotiated the deal for the Kitchener properly wilb thu Canadian Pacific railway 1 have felt convinced that it was only a quest inn of a very tow years before steel would he manufactured somewhere mi Kootenay lake, I consider that lliis deal assures its accomplishment iu tho near future ami is a factor of pr mo Importance in the development of this province." Speaking of the iron on this group, he said it was high-grade specular iicniaLite entirely free (rom phosphorus and tetanium, and containing a luw percentage uf silver. The Veins are nut iiiterslralilied lu any considerable extent with Inferior matter, ihe uuly admixture being lime, which wuuld render tliu mailer uf fluxing easy ul accomplishment. There aie Lhree well-duliued veins oil the property frum niuu to twelve feet iu ividiu. Seven claims aru iu the group sold. in discussing the commercial aspect uf the iron manufacturing industry, Air. Blakemore pointed out that uio cost of steel manufactured iu Lho eastern Slates and transported frum -,UUU to 3,tWU miles Lu this province emails a very heavy freight charge. The present consumption ul pig iron ni British Culumhia is ruuginy dtir uuu ions a year, but in the neighboring States to the south—Molilalia, Idaho, Washington and Oregon—the consumption exceeds liw.uuu tons, and throughout the Paeilie Northwest ihu demand is rapidly increasing, "Steel works established on Kooteuay would dominate the whole territory," he said, "and would enable the manufacturers to place the highest grade iu the market at a price at which it would bu impossible fur eastern manufacturers to compete aud pay the minimum charge of about $20 a ton for transportation, At the ,iresent lime pig iron in the Kootenays costs $32 a ton, ou the coast from $22 to $25, and in the Northwest Territories iu the neighborhood f Calgary and Kdmunton from $30 in S-'Jfi. In my opinion pig iron can lie produced iu thu Kootenays fur $10 tu $12 a lon, and tliere is au abundance of lime either on ur adjoining ihe iron claims and the best smelting fuel, namely, Kernie coke, is produced within lfib miles and can be laid down on Kootenay laku fur $5 a ton." "Why has not the industry been established ere now,'" asked thu reporter. Because of the small market heretofore and the objection on thc part of capitalists that ihe tonnage consumed was not large enough to justify the necessary outlay in plant and development," he replied. "But nuw there are modern processus which have enormously reduced the economic unit . The electrolytic process, which has recently been investigated in Germany and Sweden by Dr, Haanel, head of the Canadian mining department at Ottawa, has been proved lo be applicable under such conditions as exist in thu Kootenays, and Dr. Haanel thought a production of 11,01) tons a year an economic unit, so that 30,000 tuns would bu ample to ensure profitable operation. But I am thoroughly convinced that if works were established in tho Kootenays the whole of the market whicli 1 have outlined would be secured without question. "I am al the present time engaged in writing a paper ou "The Possibilities of Steel Manufacture in British Columbia," for the Canadian Mining Institute and the consummation ol the McM Ulan-Rob bison deal at such a time is most opportune," hu concluded. The purchasers of the group of Iron claims are Cleveland and St. Paul capitalists headed by Mathias Huts- ling, nf the former city. The prici paid is said to be In excess of $"),- 000, and the new owners have announced their Intention to spend $50,- 000. in the immediate exploitation o" their holdings. In the spring ; monorail tramway system is lo be In stalled connecting the mine with Koo tcnay lake for the transportation 0 ore, and rolling mills are to bi built.

Tbe Best of Work at, All Times Give Me a Trial Opposite Cranbrook Bakery The department of labor announces ihat lhe working hours in the Trail smelter have been reduced from 12 to s hours per day. Feeders on thc blast furnaces usrd never work more I han an 8 hour shift, while all nfher employees in the operative departments worked 11 hours on the day, ami 13 hours on the night shift. A man who worked a few 13 hour shifts in a muzzle fo snvn bis lungs from the poisonous fumes of the roast, piles will he able to appreciate what a relief this relaxation of the hours will-mean, even if w 11 not earn quite as big wages. The same scale has been adopted in tbe Granby smeller at Grand Forks. The Scientific American devotes considerable space to the development of electrical mining in California. It points nut that many mines which are situated at such altitudes or so fur from transportation that fuel for the use of the mine engines would cost prohibitive prices, are now being successfully worked by electrical power developed In the valleys from the descending creeks. The power Is cheaply wired back up thc mountains again, pretty much as the power of Bonnington Falls, near Nelson, is conveyed In the Rossland mines. British Columbia is blest with a wonderful wealth of forest growth which is capable of supplying steam power for the mines for many a day to come. Still one has but to note the denudation of the forests hv such a mine as the Nettie L., at Ferguson, to understand how very soon the waters will have to be harnessed to yield the power for the working of the minerals of our hills.

Calgary is to benefit materially hy llm new programme, however, as wiil all lowns along the norlli and s'olilli Hues. Foi instance, Ml. .laiiiie.sun says, lhe trl-weckly passenger ou lhe iioiili line has developed so much business that il will be maintained through the winter ami will, in Hu* spriiif*, probably he cliaptfe*! to fl'.iily service, giving Lho territory liouhlu passenger train .service each way dally. On the south line the companv "ill begin January 1 ihe old mixed Uaiu which formerly ran .soutli oul of Ciliary each morning, icluiiuni; al night. This may, in lhe spring, he changed lo ii lust class passenger service. To stall It will carcy both coaoh and baggage cars, and will he a very fair train. The ovonlng pas- scngcr will also lie retained. 'Ihis means a double passenger service caeh way fiom Calgary in the spring, Mr. .Jamieson explained that, the volume of traflic was most satisfactory and thai the company was much pleased with the expansion iliioiijrli- otil Alberta and were preparing to give Mn' lust possible service iu both froighl and passenger. "Ue will continue the track improvements of last year on Hie main line,'' saiil Mr. Jamieson, "hut the mosi extensive expenditures will ba on lhc Crows Nesi line. We have constructed lhe ten miles of line to Yahk, on tin' boundary, where we will connect wiih the Spokane International, being constructed by I). C, Corl-iiu. I do not know wlmt volume uf trallie this exlensioii will carry, but l presume it will |„. \\\\w through service from Spokane to holh Winnipeg anil St. Paul. "At Calgary there will be simie oxtensivo Improvements in side tracks, the yards and (he round house accommodations. Jtoih on lhe north and soulh lines ami 'lie main line the betleimeiits will iiielu- e main line anil side track additions ami extensions, The prosperity of Hie province we are sensible of,' and we believe Hu* development uexl vear wi,l continue to be satisfaelorv." Jt PICKING A HOnSB for a particular purpose is easy Because we have them for all kinds of use. Naturally our LIVKUV SERVICE is far superior to that ol tbe horse which has to cart eoal during the week and carry bis owner lo a funeral on Sunday. If Santa Claus saw our horses he would pension off his old reindeers, chop up liis old sleigh and hire a rig from us.
