The Calvary Baptist Church, St. John's Rectory, a number of private residences and a large Chinese section were reduced to ashes. James Skinner, the seventeen year old son of A. E. Skinner of Mission City, was run down on Monday night at that place by the westbound C.P.R. express and injured so that he died an hour and a half later. The Emperor of Korea has abdicated his throne in favor of the Crown Prince at the instance of Japan. Serious rioting has since taken place in Seoul and Japan is rushing in troops to quell the disturbances. The steam lumber schooner San Pedro rammed the passenger steamer Columbia in Shelter Cove, twelve miles south of Mendocino, Cal., in a dense fog early Sunday morning. The Columbia, sank in five minutes, carrying over a hundred of her passengers and crew to the bottom. A SUCCESSFUL YEAR The Coqualeetza Institute Has Best Year In Its History.-A Splendid Work. Perhaps few people realize the extent and character of the work which if being done year after year by the Indian Institute at Sardis. Everybody understands that such an institution exists and that a large number of Indian boys and girls are being trained there, but beyond this our knowledge of it is very vague. Probably the fact that it does not call for financial aid locally may account in a large measure for the prevailing ignorance and indifference. come of $11,200. This amount came within $77 of meeting all demands, and would have much more than done so but for the fact that over $800 worth of gratutious work was done for pupils for whom no government grant was received. The total enrolment for the year was 100, and the average attendance 85. Too high an estimate cannot well be placed upon the character of the work being done. Raw material, which under the usual natural conditions and environment of reservation life, would not develop into anything of value to the state, if not quite the reverse, is taken, and in a THE DOOR STILL OPEN British Columbia May Negotiate for Better Terms.���Premier's Work Not In Vain. The friends of better terms for British Columbia were somewhat disconcerted by the cabled reports last week to the effect that Lord Elgin had gone back on his pledge made to Mr. McBride before the latter left London, to the effect that the objectionable words "final and unalterable" would be omitted from the amended B.N.A. Act. It is a matter for congratulation that this report seems to have been unwarranted, as will appear back to the House of Commons for the acceptance or rejection of the lords' amendment SUMAS COUNCIL. The body of Miss Jane Law- ley of the Jubilee Hospital, Victoria, was found last Friday on ��� the beach at Clover Point. Foul 1/ play was at first suggested, but ���^ the coroner's jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned, with'evidence of suicide." Prof. Carpenter of Colorado, one of the leading authorities on irrigation in the United States, has been engaged to make a thorough report on the subject in British Columbia. Hon. Mr. Fulton made arrangements with him at Calgary, where both attended the Convention on Irrigation. Prof. Carpenter will be here in August, and on his report new legislation will be depending. At a meeting of the Asiatic Exclusion League in Vancouver on Wednesday evening it was announced that the C.P.R. had made contracts for the importation of 12,000 Japanese coolies. A conference with R. G. Mac- Phersonwas obtained and as a result Mr. Macpherson forwarded the following message to Sir Wilfrid Laurier: "An immense movement of Japanese coolies now on way to British Columbia. An organized scheme on foot to place 12,000 here inside of the next six [months. Wired Oliver last week. He reported that it would be submitted to you on your arrival. Organized labor and public sentiment very strong against them being allowed to come. The local government claim Dunsmuir's refusal to give his assent to Natal Act, passed last session, is done at the instigation of Ottawa government. Action should be taken at once." The Royal Bank of Canada, Chilliwack, B.C. The Coqualeetza Institute is owned by the Missionary Society of the Methodist Church of Canada and has property and equipment valued at over $40,- 000. While the institution is largely industrial in character, yet the aim is to furnish its pupils with a good common school education. Its curriculum, therefore, covers the public school course up to high school entrance. Besides this, instruction is given to the boys in carpentry and farming, including dairying, stock-raising, fruit growing, etc., while the girls are taught domestic science, dressmaking and general house work. The staff consists of principal, farmer, carpenter, gardener and seven lady teachers. Like other Indian industrial schools throughout Canada, Coqualeetza draws its financial support largely from the Dominion government. A grant of $65 per year for each child under ten years old, and $130 for each child ten years or over, is made by the government to all such schools. Last year this grant aggregated $8,900 for the Sardis institution, besides which the farm was made to produce $2,- 300 more, making a total in- large number of instances moulded into useful members of society. Many of the girl graduates take positions of trust and responsibility in the best homes in the country, while the boys largely become efficient carpenters and farmers. Nor must the influence of those who return to their old homes, in raising the family ideals and standard of living be overlooked. In short such an institution as we have at Sardis must be fairly regarded as one of the most potent factors in lifting the aborigines of this province from their natural state of savagery, degradation and vice, to the plane of civilized, useful and prosperous citizens. W. J. Bowser, M.L.A., of Vancouver, was sworn in as Attorney-General on Wednesday, in succession to Hon. F. J. Fulton who had resigned that office, but will continue to hold the position of Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works. The new appointment will be generally popular and especially in Vancouver, which again has two representatives in the Cabinet. Unfinished business that could be disposed of in two minutes today, may take two hours tomorrow. from the following London cable of the 20th inst. : Lord Elgin and Sir Francis Hopgood, permanent .secretary of the colonial office, were closely questioned last night on behalf of British Columbia in respect to the exact bearing of the amendments to the British North America hill, which Lord Elgin has passed in the House of Lords. It seems that upon Winston Churchill's speech announcing the excision of the Dominion government's words "final and unalterable" as applied to the subsidies settlement, Sir Wilfrid Laurier brought strong personal pressure to reinsert the words, in order to prevent the question being kept alive in Canadian politics. Thereupon as a compromise the preamble and schedule were inserted to make clear the intention of the Canadian parliament to make settlement "final and unalterable." The colonial office, however, assures British Columbia that despite the amendments, the settlement is not "final and unalterable." The way remains open for future negotiations with Ottawa. Apparently both sides claim a victory. The bill now comes The members of the above council met in the municipal hall on the 20th July, with all members present. R. L. Reid, solicitor for the Great Northern Railway and Navigation Co., and J. C. Brice, chief engineer, being present The reconsideration of Highway By-Law No. 79, was proceeded with. It was moved and seconded that any roads mentioned in said by-law except the change of the McKenzie road, be struck out, and also to make the width 40 feet instead of S3 feet. Road By-Law No. 80 was on motion read a first, second and third time, and ordered to be reconsidered at the next meeting of the council. A report was received from Councillor Bowman that he had inspected the work done by C. A. Lamson on the Lamson road and recommended the payment on account of $150.00. A cheque for that amount was ordered drawn. The following bills were ordered paid j. W. J. Fraser, $105.60; Duncan McGillivray, $21.25; Mark Curtis, $3.75, F. McCrimmon. $5.00; C. S. Yar- wood, $1.25; Rod McCrimmon, $23.75; Amos Farmer, $5.00; total, $165.60. The above amounts were for work on the McKenzie road appropriation. The clerk was instructed to notify pathmasters that all Canada thistles, burdock and mustard must be cut at once. Any found growing on private land to be cut by the pathmasters, if the owner does not do so, the bill for said work to be sent to the council. The clerk was instructed to settle the duty on one plow and one scraper, lately imported from Sumas, Wash. R. Thornton reported that the Vancouver Fire Clay Co.'s grade encroached on the Sumas mountain road limit to such an extent that vehicles travelling said road were in danger of an accident. The clerk was instructed to write the Clay Co. and ask them to properly grade the road wherever they had injured it. The hour being late it was decided to lay several communications over to next Saturday. The council adjourned to Saturday the 27th. Thos. T. York, C.M.C.

Some doctors go so far as to say that indigestion is the national disease of America. There is but one national remedy for indigestion and that rem edyis Dr. Hamilton's Pills which ac< eelerate the action of the gastric glands and give tone to the digestive organs. They strengthen the kidneys and liver, cleanse and purify the blood and thus add general tone to every organ of the body. Flesh and strength are fast restored and the patient can eat and digest any food lw pleases.

Richard McBride on his return from England have been of the most enthusiastic character, and demonstrate clearly the importance attached by the people of British Columbia to the premier's achievement in Great Britain. Tho attempts to belittle the success of the mission have been few and have dismally failed of their object. The Toronto Globe speaks of Mr, McBride's demagogic methods and hardihood, and complains that British Columbia Is endeavoring to squeeze more money than she Is entitled to out of the federal treasury. The Globe speaks with painful Ignorance, and the chief Liberal organ Is the last paper on earth which should disparage British Columbia's efforts In this matter. In older days the Globe talked much of the sacredness of "provincial rights," but the wicked Conservatives were In power then, and the Globe should take for its motto "Tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur In tills." If in no other way Mr. McBride has acompllshed much for the country by securing from the Imperial the rights and privileges of the provinces cannot be overridden, with Its consent, by the federal government. ���Grand Forks Gazette.

The proprietor of a large business- house bought a number of signs reading "Do It Now," and had them hung around the office, hoping to inspire his people with promptness and energy In their work. In his private office one day soon afterward a friend asked him how the scheme affected the staff. "Well, not Just the way I thought it would," answered the proprietor. "The cashier skipped with thirty thousand dollars, the head bookkeeper eloped with the private secretary, three clerks asked for an Increase of salary, and the office-boy lit out to become a highwayman."��� Ladles' Home Journal.

'V VALEDICTORY. With this number the present incumbent retires from the editorship and management of this: paper. The event is not one of sufficient importance to anyone except ourselves, to call for lengthy comment. We might say, however, that this- is- a step which was not contemplated until a very recent date, and arises f rom force of circumstances rathsr than deliberate choice. The reasons for this unexpected turn of events is a matter of individual rather than general interest, and need not be discussed in these columns. In retiring from a position which we have very imperfectly filled for the past six months, we would be ungrateful indeed if we did not express appreciation of the kindly co-operation and generous patronage of our many friends and well-wishers. Not a few have said kind things respecting what we have been trying to do. If unkind things have been said we have forgotten them and shall cherish only the more pleasant memories. That our work has been very defective and fragmentary we are only too keenly conscious, but we have faithfully tried to serve the community's best interest. If we have been unjust or unfair, we trust that it will be attributed to an error of the head rather than of the heart. Should we have wronged anybody we are sorry for it and would gladly make the amende honorable. In relinquishing a task scarce fairly begun, we sincerely trust that its performance- may fall to able and worthier hands, and assure our friends of our undiminished interest in all that makes for the well being and up-building of this magnificent district. CULPABLE NEGLECT. A few weeks ago we called attention to the fact that the usual quarantine restrictions were not being imposed by our local health authorities upon families which were affected with certain contagious diseases. The community has been generously sprinkled this season with measles, and several cases of scarletina have been reported, but we have yet to learn of a single family being quarantined- So long as no serious results followed from this laxity, public interest slumbered. Now, however, that a life has been taken away by one of these diseases, the matter begins to be regarded in a different light. With our increasing population and growing business and social intercourse, too great precaution cannot be taken to protect the health of the community against the spread of contagion of even the mildest type.

A PUBLIC BARNYARD. We have repeatedly called attention to the unsightly condition of the public watering trough at the junction of Westminster and Wellington streets, and feel like apologizing for making mention of it again. Our excuse is the disgraceful state of the street which is produced by the inadequacy of the overflow outlet. The immediate DISCREDITABLE. Premier McBride, In his appeal to the British parliament through the colonial office, was representing, not the Conservative party, but the province of British Columbia. His right to do so was given him by an overwhelming majority of the electors of the province on the 2nd of February last. The leader of the Liberal party in that campaign was as much pledged to oppose Sir Wilfrid Laurler's request for amendment of the subsidy clauses as was Mr. McBride himself. There Is no justification, there Is not even a decent excuse, that can be pleaded for the attitude of sneering disapproval which the Liberal papers of the province have elected to assume. They are doing no service to their own party or Us leaders. Tho only result of their exhibition is to betray to the people of British Columbia the Ineffable smallness and meanness nf the policy to which they are committed by their master, the machine.���Nelson Canadian.

Hi J��� EaKBEK DRUGGIST AND STATIONER LAURIER WELCOMED Canada's Premier Heartily Creeled at Quebec and Ottawa on IJolurn From England, Sir Wilfrid Laurier was enthusiastically greeted on his arrival at Quebec last Friday on the Empress of Britain. An immense crowd assembled on the wharf and the Premier was given an ovation all along the route to the Chateau Frontenac. The city was decorated on every hand and speeches of welcome were made at St Peters Market the following evening. Sir Wilfrid reached Ottawa on Monday evening, where he was welcomed with equal warmth. A despatch from the Federal capital dated Tuesday says Sir Wilfrid Laurier was given a magnificent reception here last night on his return home. It was non political. The city com. JI presented him with an address and thousands turned out to greet him. In reply to the address Sir Wilfrid said that whether in power or out of it, no matter what happened, he had decided to live and die in Ottawa. He referred to the statement in a Montreal newspaper that he should become Lord High Commissioner and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. James, and stated that he had no such ambitions. He had decided to remain as he was. Should his health be taken away or people refuse to extend him that confidence which he now enjoyed, all he wanted was to be simply a citizen of Ottawa.

Our gondolier turned our boat Into one of the narrow, dimly- llghted (treats, Overhead could bo seen but a narrow atrip of the evon- lng sky, below us the sombre waters. Dark walla shut us In and the only soundB wo heard were rhythmic plash of tho oar nnd the warning "Wha-a" of the rower us we neured | a corner. The situation was Indeed I novel hut rather weird and we were ��� not sorry to accept the outstretched I hand of the hotel manager as our boat drew up at the landing before | Hotel Metropolu. Immediately after breakfast the next morning we secured a gondolier nnd visited the Murano glass and pottery works. Looking towards the city from this little Island we had an excellent view, and what a magnificent sight It presented! Innumerable palaces and churches spired and domed seemed to llniil upon the very waves. Hnlnt Mark's church Is by fur the finest In tho clly. The celling is gorgeous In mosnlc and gold. A valuable bronze-pillared altar-piece rested on the i lis of St, .Murk, tho wrltov of the second gospel; two trtins- iuoont marble pillars from .Solomon's temple (?) helped lo support the canopied lop of the altar. The building of iiiohI Inleresl In Venice is the Pall r the Doges, with lis Una council chambers, vasl assembly hulls, court rooms, picture galleries nnd museums, ISven tho j damp prison cells and dungeons underneath fnsclnaled, while we shuddered at the thoughl of the Buffering once endured within (heir walls. The Bridge of SIkIih spans a canal at tho rear of tho palace, .Scattering u few grains of corn on the Piazza in front of the church and palace brought around me hundreds of pigeons. A kodak was levelled and n. picture secured, bin i wish we could have photographed the brilliant company that gathered there in the evening. Surrounding the Plnzai were well-lighted shops with a tempting display of Venetian art, laces, glassware, beads, mosaic, Jew- elry, silks, etc. How we groaned over our small bank account! Covering the Piazza were little tables; seated around them were "the beauty and the chivalry" of Venice enjoying the ruby wine fresh from the vineyards of Lombardy, A steamer carried us to the station the next day and on the way we were pointed out the reputed house of Shylock, the Saglttary where Desde- mona met her tragic fate and where her remorseful lord took his own life, and the palace where Browning spent his latter days. The strongest Impression we carried with us was the strange silence of this unique and beautiful city. Five hours from Venice lies the City of Milan, capital of Lombardy. The noble cathedral, built of white marble, Is one of the wonders of tho world. It Is adorned with one hundred turrets nnd two thousand statues. Aly brother climbed the spiral stairway to the main turret top, from which he had a tine view of the city and surrounding plains. The treasure-room with its cabinets of costly jewels, crosses, crowns and regalia rivalling the display In the London Tower, Is a mine of fabulous wealth. One small jewelled case contained some bones of St. Paul and other apostles. SO tho good natured guide Informed us and taxed us n franc each for our privilege.

The turkey, which has been the piece de resistance at festival times from nncestral days to the present, Is a domesticated form of the wild ..... ! bird that Is native to North and Con- ���trnl America. Of tho different varieties reengnlzcd by modern poultry- men, the mammoth bronze is the greatest favorite nnd grows to a large size, tho turns sometimes atlalnlng a weight of fifty pounds. The broilSO still retains some of the Instincts of Uh untutored progenitors, and requires for Its greatest satisfaction a wide range. The White Holland ranks second to the bronze In point of popularity. It Is of pure white plumage, with scarlet head and neck and a black "beard". Then follow the N'nrragim- setts, buffs, Norfolk!���slate and black, and the Bourbon reds���about In the order named. The Inst of these are, perhaps, tho variety most easily trained In domesticity. They aro of medium size, averaging at maturity from twenty to twenty-five pounds for the loins, nnd, for the hens, from twelve to fifloen pounds, Without undertaking lo sellle the question whether Ihe egg or Ihe hen came iirst in order of creation, it may be Bald llnu. io brood strong stock, tho Oggfl from Iwo-yo.ir old hens mated with u vigorous young gobbler seem to give the most satisfying results.

When the insults are hi great care must be taken of them for the first few weeks, for they are about the leudcrest .specimens In the line of poultry. They must not be permitted lo range In wet grass, they must be protected from vermin, and must not lie overfed. More young turkeys at"! killed from over- than from underfeeding. As one breeder says.

Aocordlng to Sir William Siemens, "Whoever finds tho way to maku Industrially useful the vast sunpnwor now wasted on the deserts uf Ninth Africa or tho shores of the lied Sea will effect a greater change In men's affairs than any conqueror In history has dune," Several Inventors have put the Idea tu a practical test. M. Mouchot cnnsti'uoted a solar engine that looked like a gigantic Inverted umbrella. Tho parabolic reflector concentrated the heat on a boiler In the focus, so that a steam-engine could bo driven with It. Mr, Ericsson made Im- [Movements on this device; but hitherto It has not been found possible to keep low enough the coat of utilizing the focused heat. Nikola Tesla, tho well-known electrical Inventor, has been working at this problem. "I hope some day," he recently declared "with an apparatus I have invented so to harness the rays of the sun that tt will operate every machine In our factories, propel every train and carriage In our streets, nnd do all tho cooking In our homes, as well as furnish all the light thut man may need by night ns well as by day. It will replace all wood and coal as a producer of motive power and heat and electric lighting." His Idea was simple enough, consisting, ns It does, of concentrating the heal of the sun on a focal point by a series of mirrors and ningnlfylng-ghts- ses, and the great heat so produced directed upon a glass cylinder filled Willi water. This last-named is chemically prepared, so that It rap- Idly evaporates Into steam. Tho steam Is made to operate a steam- engine, which, In turn, generates electricity. This electricity Is received by Btorage-batterlcS, and a vast and cheap supply is generated for all purposes. With thousands of these sun-stations dotted about here and there, the problem of motive-power supply would seem to be solved. The chief difficulty with the Tesla solar engine Is the cost of storing the batteries and keeping them stored.��� Tho Circle. A Bpooiinctl nl' Italian Ilium r.

Uy, Co., came Into town nn Sunday with his auto from the Royul Clfy, accompanied by Alex. Mercer. Tho trip was mado without mishap, but Mr. Stewart is not greatly enamored with the road for such a steed as ho steers. His chug-chug found our valley roads a pleasant change from the devious windings of the Majuba route, In fact it puffed and smelled with unusual vigor In Its eagerness to hit a record-breaking pace on our superb highways, but lis owner curbed Its ambition within safe limits for the general public.
