CLEARING HOUSE A FAILURE. Railroads* Attempt to Prevent Csr Shortage Is Futile. Chlcugo, April 17-Afler leas than a three months' trial, the railroads are considering ��� proposition to nbullsh this American clearing house whicli wuh es- tublished lo fucllliate the movement and distribution of freight cars and to prevent further cur shortages und freight congestions. A mooting uf railway presidents has l>een called for next Monday to determine whut shall be (lone with the organization, which wus luunched with great hope of results and which some mads now declare to be a failure. The financial failure or the clearing house Ih said lo be caused by the 81. Pnul nnd Northwestern railroads. The clearing houae was established late In January by Arthur Male, who was taken from a high position on tho I). & O. road und given charge of the movement. Offices were secured ln the Grand Central station und no mure than eight people are employed there. The bureau ls costing the railroads approximately $1,000 a month und some of them say it has uot returned four cents a month In value. Jamaica's New Governor.

OPEN ENGINEERS' HOME New York Palace Donated by Andrew Carnegie to Members of Three Institutes. New York, April 17.���The handsome building In Fortieth street, opposite Ilryant Park, which is to be the home of three national engineering societies and for the erection of which Andrew Carnegie gave $1,500,1)00, was thronged with visitors today. It was the second and big day of the dedication exorcises. Those in attendance included many of the famous European scientists who came over to attend the opening of the Carnegie Institute In Pittsburg. Today's programme Included addresses by the presidents of founder societies and the presentution of the John Fritz gold medal to Dr. Alexander Graham lie]] and of olher medals for distinguished service to Ralph W. Pope, Dr. F. R. Hutton and Dr. R. W. Raymond. The throe national associations thnt are to find homes fn the new building arc the American Institute of Mining Engineers, the American Institute of Mechanical Engineers nnd the Society of Intellectual Engineers. The three have become affiliated under the name of thc United Flnglneering Societies. There are In reality two buildings, one facing Thirty-ninth street and the other on Fortieth street, the two being connected by a passageway. One building is to serve ns a club home for the members, while the other houses the great workshop und laboratory with the library-room for the throe scientific societies. The library Is to be thc lnrg- est purely technical library yet guth- ored together, designed especially to furnish the engineers wllh the tools of their trade so far as books may he thus designated. Then, there are In addition rooms for research, for experiment, for drafting, each organisation having Us own particular apartment. Iii connection with these Ib the greal auditorium, lnrge enough to conveniently sent tiny number of persons brought together for scientific purposes. Mr. Carnegie donated outright 11.000,- 000 for the erection of Ihe engineering building. In addition he mnde a loan lo tho three societies of $'100,000 for the purchnse of the ground. He look n mortgage UPOn the lnnd. with interest ut 4 per cent., the life of the mortgage to be 20 years, bul payable sooner If the societies nre able. The undertaking hns attracted tie men of science who are engaged In the grent manufucturcs. ror It is expected that the concentration or sclentillc work In one building will lie or inestimable service In the great worlil of industrial and mining activity. Already some or those who illustrate the commercial application of science and especially 01 electrlcllv hnve fell It n privilege to contribute, more particularly with a view of decreasing the mortgage, Metals. The only change recorded on todays metal markets ls an advance of two points in the quotation of silver ln both London and New York. RENEW CAMPAIGN 20,000 Club Reorganized for Season NEW OFFICERS CHOSEN Will Attempt Improvement ol City as Well as Advertising���Want Constitution -and Bylaws. The deferred annua] meeting or the 20,000 club was held ln tho board ot trade rooms lasl night with 26 members present. Reorganization was effected, new officers were elected and a committee was appointed to draw up constitution und bylaws. The appointment of a secretary, location of office and Plans of work were left to the new executive. C. G. Reeder, of Spokane, addressed lhe club on the subject of Kootenay river land reclamation. The meeting came to. order about 9 o'clock with the following members present; T. G. Procter, F. M. Chadbourn ,L. B. DeVeber, G. G. McLaren, H. Williams, A. Lean, H. Wright, J.J. Walker, J. M. Lay, J. E. Annable, W. H. Jones, I. G. Nelson. R. G. Webbe, S. M. Ilrdyges, E. K. Ueeston. E. F. Gigot, M. H. Farrar, T. Deasy, H. G. Goodeve, F. A Starkey, D. C. McMorris, W. G. Gillett, F. J. Deane, A. W. Dyer, M. S. Parry, E. W. Wlddowson, R. Q. Joy. T. G. Procter, president, opened the meeting with a few remarks on the good work accomplished by the club, lie thougbt there was still work to be done to justify the existence of the club. The appointment of a secretary was the most important busineaB in hand, and he thought should be left to the new executive. lie gave a brief financial statement ns follows: revenue during 1906, $1,908.- 75; expenditure, $l.!iuli.:iii; balance, $2.39. Amount subscribed for now folder, $1,055, of which there is collected, $255; expended from this sum for ordinary use, $160. Other small sums have been spent In connection with the preparation or the rolder. There is now in bank to the club's credit, $75. C. G. Reeder, of Spokunc, then addressed the club, by permission, on the subject of Kootenay river land reclam a tion. Mr. Reeder rehearsed the familiar ar- gumenta for reclamation, and pointed out the advantages to the city ot Nelson by the settlement or nil that land, uf which, he said, Nelson must continue to be the commercial centre und capital. He then addressed himself to the objections that have been urged. He asked his hearers to trust to the Dominion and provincial governments to prevent any change In the water level ot the West Arm or the main Kootenay lake, either In the direction or flooding or or making any part of the outlet less navigable than now. He stated that all that he and his associates wanted to do was to prevent thc bucking up of water above Kootenay Landing by widening the outlet at the Narrows and flrst rapids. This, he said, was an engineering project, nnd he assured the meeting that if engineers declared the project dangerous to Nelson ln any way, it would be abandoned. In reply to J. M. Lay be suid that he did not hope lo entirely save the lands rrom flooding In such circumstnnces as the Hood or 1894. Hut the possibility of raising crops In normal yenrs would give the lands a value. After answering some otbor questions Mr. Reeder withdrew. The chairman then stated his opinion that the new folder would be paid for out or runds already collected or promised. _ _. He then culled on E. K. Beeslun to give the results of his vlsil to similar organisations In the coast cities. Mr Ueeston repeated the views expressed by him In a recent interview with The Daily Canndlan. He emphasized the courtesy extended to him by the Tourist Associations of Victoria and Vancouver. He spoke of their well- appointed offices, permanent secretaries and assistnntB, abundance of views and descriptive pamphlets, the associations successful efforts nt civic improvement, and the generous financial assistance given by the city councils. Mr Heeatnn's final advice was He sure vou have a city in every way worth showing before you advertise It.' His remarks and advice were warmly endorsed by Mayor Gillett and F. A. Starkey. , , . . _ The chairman advocated retaining the name of 20,000 Club nnd was supported by J- M. Lay and M. 8. Parry. A vote was taken and the suggestion endorsed. The location of offices was left to the executive committee. A motion of E. W. Wlddowson, seconded by W. H. Jones, tliat a constitution und by-laws be drafted was adopted. Mr. Jones thought the club's past proceedings bad often boen most unbusinesslike, and Irregular. The drafting of lhe constitution and by-laws was entrusted to a committee composed of MesBin. Deusy, Jones, Dyer, Ueeston und McMorris, to reiiort at the next meeting. The following officers were then elected; honorary president, Mayor Gillett; president, T. G. Procter; vice president, E. F. -Gigot; treasurer. J. M. Lay; executive committee, Messrs. Annable, Joy, Deane, Deasy, Ueeston, Dyer, McMorris, Nelson, Jones, Wright, Webb and Wlddowson. Mr. Procter promised to conduct a vigorous campaign. An audit of accounts was ordered, the auditor to be appointed by the executive committee. The executive committee will meet Friday night at 8 o'clock ln the board of trade rooms. On motion of E. F. Gigot a vote of thanks was extended to M. S. Parry and F. M. Chadbourn. The meeting then adjourned. DON'T WANT CRIMINALS Notorious London Crook Helped to Emigrate to Toronto���Dominion Officials Slow. Toronto, April 17. ��� Isaac Isaacs, whose reputation as a bad crook arrived in Canada almost as soon as he did, came up In the police court yesterday. The Toronto authorities are trying to arrange to return the prisoner to England. He pleaded for his liberty yesterday, and said that the Prisoners' Aid Society in England sent him to this country. He reported to the police ln the Old Land just before sailing, and they made all the arrangements to get rid of him. The fact that the authorities were using Canada as a dumping ground did not move the crown to leniency. "The Prisoners' Aid Society sent him out here, and the authorities are now sending him back again," announced Mr. Corely. The magistrate pointed out that Isaacs had been in jail for three weeks and asked what was causing the delay. "The department at Ottawa Ib to blame." replied the chief inspector. "The matter has been before them for some time, but no action Ib yet reported." Col. Denlson said that something must be done, and lf Isaacs were not deported before next Thursday he would receive his liberty. The magistrate's view was that the man. even with his bad record, should not be kept in custody to accommodate the department at Ottawa. The Dominion government officials have caused a great deal of trouble to those who look after the criminals In the country. The delays and trouble which precede the deportation of undesirable citizens, make It extremely difficult to get rid of the criminals who come across to try their luck in a new "field ot endeavor." 010 SUM FOR BOUNDARY Phoenix Amalgamated Plans to Spend $350,00 to Develop War Eagle Group. Boundary holders or shares or the Phoenix Amalgamated Copper Mines, Ltd., which owns the War Eagle group In this camp, have recently received an Important notice trom the head ot- lice or the company at Sherbrooke, -Quebec, Indicating that there ta every probability of operations being started within the next month or two. The company has made arrangements with strong Boston and New York capitalists to flnauce the development, the plan being substantially as follows: The company has 500,000 shares of par value of $10 each, of which amount 200,000 shares are now in the treasury.

FEAR OFHNLAND Russia Prepares Blow at Orand Duchy EXAMPLE IS DANGEROUS Empire oi Czar Saf f alng from Tenor- ism, Rebellion and Famine-Arms for Intending Strikers. London, April 17.���A correspondent of tbe Evening News declares that he ls able to throw light on tbe methods pursued by the Russian terrorists in securing arms and ammunition. He says that lt ls the duty of no fewer than 12 revolutionary organizations, possessing headquarters in London, to assist political refugees and to provide arms and ammunition, the bitter being always required. The demand at the present time Is considerably tn excess of the supply. Something like 2,000,000 rllles and 1,000,000 revolvers are wanted to arm the masses of the population, as the next general strike will possibly be declared at an early date. Every market in the world ls being tapped In the purchase of weapons. The buyers are carefully distributed throughout the United States, Oreat Britain and the European continent. AIL weapons are first sent to England, where they are shipped ln water-tight cases, bearing false labels, on board the steamships that run to the Baltic and Black Bea ports. As the vessels near the coast the cases are thrown overboard at places that have been marked by small buoys, and then are easily secured by the revolutionists. London, April IT.���A despatch to the Daily News from St. Petersburg Bays that conditions in Finland have caused the government anxiety for some time, lt is known that large quantities of arms have been Imported there, and the government believes tbat a revolutionary militia is being secretly formed. The new Diet, elected by universal (including women) suffrage, is overwhelmingly Socialist. The existence of such frankly radical people under Russian rule is not agreeable to the government, which considers their influence unhealthy. There are undoubtedly some people who consider that Finland ought to be the base of a Russian revolution, but a majority of the Finns, having gained the restoration of home rule, do not wish to Interfere in Russian affairs. St. Petersburg, April 17.���There are grave reasons for believing that the government is planning an armed occupation of Finland and a blockade of the coast ln order to prevent the landing of arms. If the plan is carried out lt ls expected that Sweden .which possesses Borne Islands fringing the coast of Finland, will remain neutral, giving Russia a free hand. Possibly the design is only to be executed ln the event of tbe Douma being dissolved. Lods, April 17.���Two buildings were damaged by bombs ln the suburb ot Huluty this morning, but there were no casualties. Later an unidentified man began shooting at some young Jews, killing two of them and wounding three. The Jews are panic-stricken. London, April 17.���Dr. Kennard, commissioner of the society of Friends, who was sent to investigate the Russian famine, writing from Samara, April 3, says; "There are 20,0000,000 people distributed in the south-eastern provinces of Russia, who cannot live to see another harvest without aid." In Samara, he added, thousands are dying and 700,000 are starving. Of the latter only 372,700 are getting relief, one meal In twenty-four hours. As a meal Is only two pounds or bread and a bowl or soup, this according to the commissioner means dying by degrees. Even this meagre dole in countless Instances Is divided among many mouths. There are only sufficient runds on hand to last until May 1st, whereas money ts needed until the end ot July, when the harvest will bring relief. The commissioner especially appeals for canned milk. He says there are 300,000 children ln Samara province who have no milk and are forced to eat coarse bread made ot acorns, powdered wood and cucumbers, resulting ln thousands or deaths and much disease. In conclusion the commissioner appeals to the Anglo-Saxons tor $2,500,000 to save "twenty millions or human beings who are dying lingering deaths," irom starvation. been raging lor two weeks, was reported yesterday as being beyond control.

New York, April 17.���With the arrival of the North German Lloyd liner Kron Prinz Wllhelm, which docked last night in Hoboken, It became known that Sidney Smith, real estate broker of this city, had been robbed of $36,000 in Paris. Mr. Smith was travelling on the continent with a party of friends and while stopping at a hotel in Paris, placed $20,000 in cash, and jewels valued at $16,000 in a steel box which he kept in his room. The police of Paris were notified and they began a search for a valet who had been employed for the party. They traced him to the southern part of France and were close upon him when they found ���he had booked passage for New York on a slow, second-class steamer. Mr. Smith said that the man was now in this city. TEST VALIDITY OF ACT Bay of Islands Fishermen Carrying Appeal to Supreme Court of Newfoundland. St. John's, April 17.���The supreme court yesterday resumed consideration of the appeal by the Bay of Islands fishermen from the penalty of $600 or the alternative of serving three months in prison, imposed in November by a magistrate at Bay of Islands, npon their being convicted ot working on the American schooner Ralph Hall during the herring Ashing season. The magistrate ruled that such work was contrary to the provisions of the Colonial Bait Act In February, when the case was appealed, the supreme court sent a communication to Boston and Olouchester to take testimony as to the terms under which the men were hired and this was read ln court today. Sir James Winter, who at. different times has been premier, attorney general and supreme court judge, appeared for the appellants wltb Mr. Howley, who formerly was the sole counsel for the fishermen. Sir James Winter withdrew the former plea that the fishermen were entitled to rank as Inhabitants of the United States and entitled to all privileges under the treaty of 1818, and claimed that they were hired servants ot American fishermen entitled under the treaty to fish. It ls understood that Sir James was retained by American interests ln tbe case and that the previous plea of the appellants was withdrawn at their direction. The new feature ot the situation has created much Interest here. The argument will be resumed Friday Death of F. V. Thomson. - ��� His many friends In Nelson will learn with sincere regret of the death of Frank Valentine Thomson, formerly teller ln the Nelson branch of the Imperial bank.

(Special to The Dally Canadian.) Victoria, April 17.���Yesterday afternoon's session or the legislature waa taken np mainly with discussion of the Land Act Amendment Act. Dr. King, member for Cranbrook, op-posed the proposed Increase of the royalty on timber. He charged that the increase would not affect speculators at all, but would greatly reduce the profits of the lumbermen. He also urged that since the change would not be effective until Jan. 1st, 1807, there would be little loat by deferring legislation until next session. The bill creating a British Columbia court of appeals, and the bill making the Doyle timber scalse official tor the territory'east ot the Cascader,, were given second reading.

Paris, April 17.���The Countess De .lotempe committed suicide by /hooting herself with a revolver ln this city yesterday. The countess was a Russian, 27 yeara old, and possessed of considerable beauty. She was married two years ago against the wlahes of her parents to the Count De Jotemps. The -couple were continually In financial straits. Last summer the count was arrested on a charge of pawning -certain jewels that had been sent htm on approval by a Paris dealer, and was held in custody for two months. Upon his release the countess went to Russia, presumably with the object of appealing to her parents for aid. On her return to Paris she appeared most despondent and made no attempt to conceal her desperate situation. The fact that her husband, after his arrest, was ostracised by society, added greatly to her anguish and lt is believed helped to unhinge her mind. Swimming Match. New York, April 17.���C. M. Daniels, of the New York Athletic Club, yesterday accepted a challenge from Henry Taylor. The latter is the long dlatance champion of England and ls supposed to be one of the world's fastest swimmers from the quarter to the mile.

It is patent, therefore, Unit the good offices of governments, boards of trade and any other organisations of Individuals who can exert any Influence tin the contending parties, cannot act too soon ir Industrial disaster is to be averted. That is the outstanding feature ot the case that appeals first and most to the public. There are other features, however, which should not be Ignored in nuy public discussion of the question. The mln ers assert that their chief, almost their sole grievance is the annoying uncertainty ol the scale or wages on which they are working, antl the arbitrary making ol new rules ant! regulations, in regard to which, Ihey allege, they art- not consulted, antl ol whicli no notice ir. given until they are actually In force. Por this Btate of affairs they, rightly or wrongly, hold one man responsible, G. G. 8. Llndsey, manager of lhe Crop's Nest Pass Coal Company, It Is probably impossible for any one not on tho ground and In the confidence of both operators and employees to judge of the merits of lhe case, but undoubtedly there is in the minds or the ctsal miners a deep seated distrust or Mr. Llndsey whioh does moro than anything else to prevent the restoration of guild relations between employers and employees. If thore Is any ground for that distrust the retirement of Mr. Llndsey can- nut come too soon. li lias often been proclaimed that it Is Intolerable that thc industrial prosperity of llrltlsh Columbia should be at iho mercy of ;i union of cosmopolitan laborers who can go on strike without a grievance antl paralyze every industry, wil liinii any material loss to themselves. Thul is quite true and just, but it is at least equally Intolerable that llie whole counlry shoulil suffer by the dictatorial and arbitrary acts of une man. The tithor feature ul the case, which has its comic us well as Its serious side, is the demonstration of ihe utter futility of Mr. Lemieux' new Conciliation Act. Mr. Lemieux undoubtedly meant well, but his bill hns, besides tlle special defect that It provides no machinery for iin iswn enforcement, lho general weakness of all such measures. Laws may b.- passed forbidding strikes and lockouts, proscribing methods of arbitration, and fixing penalties fur failure to comply. But it lias invariably boon found that Buch laws can be onfurcetl only against iho owners. They have property which can be attached for damages when thoy aro convicted of fault. Hut no law has yet been dratted whicli can compell llio obedience of a labor union, much less of the Individual inonibeis who make up the union, il is easy to pass a law declaring that laborers who ssrike without waiting for arbitration are guilty of an offence antl subject to lino or Imprisonment, but no adequate machinery has yet been devised for collecting such linos or imprisoning the strikers. The 20,000 Club has reorganized with sonio show of interest and even enthusiasm and has declared Its Intention of conducting n vigorous campaign during the coming season to attract both tous-ists and permanent residents to Nolson and its vicinity. The retention of a ridiculous name���20,000 Club- may not prove a very serious handicap, although lt will undoubtedly deter some from taking an active pnrt In Its work. The chief contributions to last evening's deliberations were made by Mr. Proctor untl Mr. Beeston, Mr. Procter's plea for a live secretary whoso whole time will bo available Iui* tbo work, nnd of course reasonably paid, must lie granted lf anything is tu bo dtsiio. Antl Mr. Heeston's advice to Improve and beautify iho city In every possible way before Inviting tourists wns equally wise, li is regrettable that so small a proportion of the merchants and properly owners of tho city, the ohlal beneflciarleB by nny Improvement Hint may be effected, were present Tho absence or the groal majority Indicates either Indifference to the promotion uf their own mid the general Interest, ur else distrust of tlie efficiency of tliu means proposed. The agitation in northwestern Ontario for such a division of the province as will give self-guvornnicnt to .the newer part lias so far attracted little attention in official circles, or among the general public outside the tllstiict in whicli ItHMia arisen. On general principles it will be condemned, Canada bus nt present, more legislators and legislation per thousand of population than any other part of lho British Umpire. Legislation is nearly us costly as litigation and those who pay aro not in all cases satisfied thui they are getting thetr moneys worth. It is probably but a passing phase. The same thing lias happened more than once ln British Columbia. For a long time tho people of the Lower Mainland regretted tholr union with Vancouver Island which then held the balance ut power. As late as a few years ago there were sume who complained tliat Kootanay was unfairly treated hy coast politicians antl would be better off as a separate provlnoe. New Ontario will soon -recover from its growing pains. The announcement of the reduction of postage rates on British papers and magazines is one of the most welcome received by Canadians lor a long lime, untl one for which all credit will be accorded to Mr. Lemieux. Canada Is still too thinly populated, and her population too scattered, to permit of the profitable production pf magazines to suit all classes, and consequently for some lime to come our periodical literature, both light and seriuus, must be Imported, It is a greal relief to know that decent publications may now be received on reasonable terms and llinl lho market will not bo givon over lo such disgusting productions as Ainalle'a, Munsey's, tho Smart Sel, and their like, and to tlle turgid rhetoric of Collier's and Everybody's. The scheme for the reclamation of hind in the valley of Kootonay river, In Idaho and in the Kootenay by widening the outlet of Kootonay lake, has been before the public of Nelsou for a long time. Thero Is general agreement that the reclamation of the lands would be a good thing antl probably beneficial to Nelson. The only objection Is the possible danger to navigation on the West Arm and a general change of water levels. Those questions cannot be sel tied by public meetings but only hy competent and responsible engineers. Until such engineers report that the scheme Is feasible, physically and financially, and involves no danger to eny of Nelson's Interests in tho West Arm, public tliscussiun Is futile. pmm.%w PEACE ADVOCATES DINE. ���J IPES UPWARDS A collection ot all the Latest vShapes and Sizes.

"This formation of a new province la a popular topic in the northern districts," said Mr. McDonald, "and 1 feel certain that It will result In the attainment of the object which waB projected at the recent meeting held In Emo. Sssine of Ihe Ontario members have been expressing various views on the matter, aud profess to look at It in an indifferent spirit, hut they are not familiar wltii the conditions us 1 am, and Ihey will be surprised at the dissatisfaction that exists when they commence tu make investigations for themselves. "We want to keep thla matter separated from polltlcn as much aa possible. 1'eople ln Nortbern Ontario of both political partlea dealre a change In the ail- luiulatrutlou of utluira.

Tney will take things iuto their own hands, and will endeavor to give themselves what they have been relused from other Quartan, There Is one point which I wish to deal with, however, and that la the slutenient suggested by Ontario members of parliams'ut that there was a sentiment displayed towards annexation to Manitoba, i'nat phase of the problem was uot mentioned at the meeting held recently at Emo. "it. li. Uamey has stated in an interview tliat the better class of population Is satisfied with present conditions. That is a matter of opinion. However, Mr. Uamey's suggestion of a commission is along the line of Improvement for which he should bu given credit. Aa to tbe published statements of Messrs. Aubin and Smyth that there Is no feeling of discontent in their constituencies, we prefer to wait till the people of these constituencies have been heard from direct. 1 think when Ihese reports have been made the local members will reform their opinions. Thc commute drafted at the Emo meeting Is busy sending out circulars, and it is expectod that the first general meeting will bo called at an early date, and othera will follow closely.

L. Hxcxwitb, by 1. J. Ltiou, Agent. ectlon of a government seat htu not been thought of ao far. "Regarding the causes which have contributed to make the people dissatisfied, Mr. McDonald said there were several. First there Is the matter of the grants made to the veterans, which set apart ICO acrea tn every square mile. These grants are exempt from all taxee except the school levy for ten years, thus Increasing the burdens which settlers In pioneer districts have naturally to undertake. I believe that the veterans could have been taken care of In other ways Just as satisfactorily as by the plan hit on by the government. If fact lf this land had been set apart for the future assistance of education, and disposed of for that purpose, thers* would have been no objection on the part of tho pessple. "At preBent, and so far as the government regulations are concerned, tho school support Is accomplished almost entirely by direct taxation, though recently the government has decided to contribute something more substantial In the way of grants. "The government road from Fort Francis to Ilalny Klver, approximately fifty miles, constructed In 1876, haa been left In an almost Impassable state notwithstanding repated petltiona for relief. It Is no exaggeration to say that thla road Is Impassable In the summer season. Railway facilities are almost an unknown quantity. The Canadian Northern, the sole road running through tlie district, gives a disgraceful service, and this winter tlie labor of the settler In thc woods taking out timber and other products has produced no returns, as the timber is lying at the sidings, the road being unable or unwilling to haul lt to the markets. Though the Ontario government pays a bonus to the company, It has no control over the way In which the transportation facilities are to be carried out. All kinds of agitation has failed to secure an Improvement In this matter, and the people of the district traversed by the railway have practically been deprived of their earning power this winter. "We estimate tbat ln the area which lt is proposed to organize Into a new province there are 158,000 people, qtiite sufficient to form a well-populated and prosperous province, offering some facilities for the progress and advancement of those Inhabiting lt. The movement Is one of the people by the people and for the people. I have not the least doubt that lt will bear fruit. "It is a remarkable circumstance that governments of Ontario, past and present, have evidently labored under the Impression that the wealth and resources of New Ontario should be utilized for the benefit and upbuilding of Old Ontario. They have apparently given no thought to the problems of the people who aro living In the New Ontario. Such conditions hnve existed for many years, but now the people are commencing to think for themselves, and are botyimlng weary of seeing the wealth of their country being utilized for the benefit of the older portion of the province." THE MORE DIRECT WAY. Go Right to the Fountain Head and Study the Styles. Learn to swim Instead of devoting your energy to finding a suitable life preserver. You can get fine shoes ln all sizes, shapes and-widths. You can get fine clothes, made to the trying-on stage Just as readily, and save the energies you waste In following old-fashioned ways. No man can tell how a pattern cloth will look when It's made up. A Semi-ready suit can be finished to your measure ln two hours, and you can always prejudge the effect and suitability ot the pattern.

While removing some sawdust Isaac Nicks was caught in the belt of the main drive wheel at the mill of the Cooperative Lumber Co,, at Procter yesterday, and was killed instantly. There was no one present when the accident occurred, but as soon as Mr. Nicks was missed the whistle blew, and the machinery was stopped. Deceased was retarded one of the best sawyers in British Columbia, but he was always a little venturesome, and it is feared that his death was caused because he failed to exercise due precaution in removing the obstruction near the wheel. Isaac Nicks was well on in years and spent all his lifetime around sawmills. He was born in Ingersoll. Ont., and thirty years ago managed a sawmill at Hurford, Ont.. for the father of Postmaster Kane of- Kaslo. He has lived ln Hritish Columbia for a number of yeara and his death a ill he mourned by many of the pioneers of the interior. The funeral take? place at Kaslo tomorrow. ���*�����.
