Mr. Munkwitz was endeavoring to put on an eight-inch belt which had jumped the pully, and in doing so the stick with which he was working was caught in the belt and hurled hack at him with great force, striking him in the abdomen. He was taken to the hospital at once and an operation was performed upon him Wednesday in the hope of saving his life, but the injury was so severe that he succumbed. Mr. Munkwitz lias been an employee of the Elk Co. for several yrears, and was a most respected citizen of West Fernie. He was born in Germany fifty years ago, from whence he came to America, bringing his family, consisting of an estimable wife and five children. The oldest daughter, Mrs. Fred Dalzell, who resides with her husband near Monarch, Alberta, and the oldest son, William, foreman in the big sawmill of the Bed Deer Lumber Co., north of Winnipeg. The funeral took place Sunday from the Methodist church under the direction of Rev. H. R. Grant. New Homestead Regulations. Regulations for the administration and disposal of Dominion lands in the railway belt of British Columbia have been passed by the Governor-General- in-Council. The railway belt is a strip of land 40 miles in width following the main line of the C. P. R. in British Columbia, he- ing twenty miles on each side of the railway and controlled by the government. The regulations provide for the classification of the lands remaining undisposed of, according to their character, location and altitude. In the coast division,where the rainfall is heavy and the timber growth large, a settler is entitled to enter for 40 acres of bench land as a homestead und pre-emption. If the settler is prepared to cultivate a large area and has acquired title in connecting with the legal sub-division entered as a homestead, he is allowed to preempt the adjoining 20 acres in the same legal subdivision. The same proportions will apply to the bench lands in the lower Columbia division. It is required in this case that a settler should clear a total of ten acres and cultivate a total of six acres before a patent is issued, and double that amount if a pre-emption is also taken. In the upper Columbia division, on account of the very high altitude of the lauds and the character of the country, the area of homestead is fixed at 40 acres, with a pre-emption privilege on an adjoining 10 acres, and the urea to bo cultivated is slightly more. In the Kamloops division the area of homesteads is fixed at 100 acres, or a quarter section. The smaller area is applicable to lands suitable for fruitgrowing, which are difficult to clear. Masonic Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge assembles at Cranbrook today, and last evening, the new Masonic Temple was formally dedicated by Grand Master Rich, assisted by other Grand Lodge officers. After the dedication services a reception was tendered visiting Masons and theii' wives, which wound up with a dance. The committee iu charge of accommodation, report that not only many Masons volunteered to accommodate visiting brethren, but that .'i large number of people not connected with the order, offered to place rooms at I the convenience of the committee. This was a very satisfactory state of affairs which per- ,mit a large number of brethren from all over the province being accommodated comfortably. Former Resident of Hosmer Dead. Word was received at llosmer Monday that .1. Fred Richey, for many year- connected with the C. I'. K. in various capacities, died in a sanitarium at Mt. Clemens, Mich., on Friday June 17th. Mr. Richey was well and favorably known throughout the west, more especially to the railroad fraternity, among whom he had many friends. For some years, and until a few years ago, he was connected with the fuel department of the C. 1'. R„ but he left the railway company in 1007 to become associated with the Hosmer Mines, Ltd. Mr. Richey had been sick for some time, and lust March bad to give up his employment at llosmer cm account of his health. Since then he had lived with a sister in Winnipeg, and a tew weeks ago went to Mt. Clemens. The body was taken to Winnipeg for burial. K. of P. Elect Officers. Last Thursday evening, North Star Lodge No. 41, K. of P., Hosmer, elected the following officers for the ensuing term: C. C, T. Speers! V. C., H. McDonald. Prel., C. Heiltz. M. W., H. Bell. K. R.

While each issue of Canada's foremost sportsmen's magazine contains some feature of special interest, the June number of Bod and Gun in Canada, published by W. J. Taylor, Woodstock, Out., is notable for several of such features, each ono of particular interest to all sportsmen. "Three Weeks in the Forests of Quebei!," with the successful capture of a moose, will prove entrancing to all big game hunters; while the story of tin* success of Jack Miner in attracting wild geese in large numbers to a. pond near his home cannot fail to hold the attention and secure the interest of all wild bird lovers. The latter story forms a splendid illustration of the success of protection and.should encourage all engaged in the work, Mr. Minhl* has demonstrated the fact that it is possible to succeed with the wary wild goose and success with such such shy birds means that efforts in other directions need not spell failure, The importance of the policy of Conservation justifies the illustrated account of the gathering at Toronto University, This policy means more to the future of Canada than the present generation can fully realize and co all interested in the great out doors it is vital. A full supply of stories appealing to all tastes is included in a number which will prove a line companion on all vacation trips. To Develop Iron Mines. A despatch from Nelson li. ('. says: An important railway and development ileal that has been maturing for a couple of years, has jusl been closed by Carney Bros, and Gardner of Kaslo, B, <'.. turning over to a St. Paul syndicate which is said to have unlimited capital an option on coal anil iron deposits near Cowley for a quarter of a million dollars. The ore is magnetite and assays 05 per cent, and the syndicate intend to build a model n steel plant for which the metal is admirably adapted. The syndicate i-> -aid to have secured the charterf'oru railway into Calgary ami the line said to be located Irom Butte across the Milk river towards Pincher creek following the Old Man river into the Livingstone range thence running west will parallel the iron and coal deposits north of Cowley. It will cross the Calgary and .McLeod branch of the C. I'. H. near Midnapore land have its terminal in south Calgary. The develeipciiif n! of iron and coal properties is tho primary object, and the project was delayed pending the closing of various deals.

Axtell, li.l-, was Ihe fastest stallion on time anil also the champion three year-old colt. Neer laine was the e-hainpicen yearling witli n rec-eei-el cef J.el'.j. She was by N'orval, dam Klaine, 2.20, by Messenger Duroc; Suniel was by 1-llectioneer, dam Wnxana, by General Benton, was the two-year- oid champion wilh the record cef J.IS, ami she made good as a three-year-old 1 when she won the three-year-old championship in 2.10V4, At this time the four-yenr-eelcls did not. show up well, for the champion records were 2.Hi, held jeeintlv by Mnnzanita, bv Electioneer, dam Mayflower, ley St. Clair, and Edge- mark, by Victor Bismark, dam Bdge- water lielle, by Edgewator. The fastest live year-old was the famous Jay- Eyo-Seo, with u reccerd of 2.10%. All these rc-e-orcls heck slow to the reader of today, yet twenty years ago thoy were looked upon ley many good .judge's as close to the' limits of light harness speed, and a mile iu two minutes was hnel,,-,I upon by tin- majority of practical horsemen as an idle and foolish dream, New Vork was then on thee trotting map nnd gave1 it small spring meet ing unci a big meeting in the autumn, II is worthy of note that in these days when trainers grumble at getting their charges ready by the beginning cef duly, that Ibis meeting began .en Mny 22. mid Hint tlie purses were $500 each. Stun ford won the 3,00 trot iu straight bents, best timc i..'lil',j, nnd Inter in tbe week the 2. lo class in a race cef live heats, best time 2,30, The fastest heat of the week was io Ihe 2.25 pace, and Hint was won in 2.221-j.

Thnt royal yeiiing campaigner, Prince Regent, w.'in Ihe $5,000 purse for the 2.:i(l class iu a hotly contested race of seven bents. In the seven heats ho was three times second nnd his winning time wus 2.23%, 2,L'ii. 2.29. This time looks slow to us now, yet it was a great race anel won by a 'grout horse, Another celebrated horse which ween at that meeting was Hal Pointer, who in a race of five heats won Hie last three in 2.20%, 2.211, and 2.L'I. The famous Hurry Wilkes, for n match leer $5,000, defeated (lean Smith. That same your. October 11, there was a mutch of $0,0110 between lielle Ham I'm an.l Harry Wilkes, which drew a .row.I ..I' eight thousand people to old Fleetwood Park, and the mure won in L'.liP'i uud 2.19VI. That season, 1889, witnessed the coining to Ihe front of those celebrated stallions, Alcyon uml Nelson, the former winning the Charter Oaks $10,000 purse, and Hie latter the •ilu.nun purse- feer stallions, Hut it is not tin' purpose of this article to go into details of that year, but to rely 011 the general figures already given as to the vulunre eef s'port of Hint year.

He reached the land- and and turned to look at Theodore, who waved him on to the room they had occupied before When he entered he was not at all pleased to find the elder Rcbinsou only awaiting his advent. He halted just in side tho threshold and glanced inquiringly from father to son. "How do you do?" he said stiffly "Is Dorothy not at home?" "She is not," said old Robinson, making no advance and giving no greet ing. "Will you please sit down1?" Garrison remained where he was. "Do you expect her soon?" he inquired. "We shall get along very well without, her. We've got something to say to you—alone.'' Garrison said: "Indeed?" lie advanced to jl chair and sat down. "In the first place, perhaps you will tell us your actual name," said old Robinson, himself taking a seat. Garrison was annoyed. "Let me assure you, once for all, that [ do not iu the least recognize your right to meddle in my concerns, or subject me to any inquisitions." "That's another way of saying you refuse to answer!'" snapped Robinson tartly. '' You know your name isn 't Fairfax, any mon1 than it's mine. Your name is Garrison." Harrison stared at hiin coldly.

One of them Refuses to Rent Houses. Haifa dozen cases of refusal to rent hoiises to families with children have been reported within the last tew days, They were not furnished houses nor Mats in apartment houses. In the latter case refusal would not be so reprehensible because a flat is no place for children anyway. But the refusal of landlords to rent houses to families with children raises a serious question, What are people going lo do with their children? Thev might he tied in a stick with some stones and dropped in the Inlet or they might be sold to people more favorably situated for raising the brats, but either of these courses is not open to parents. Besides they are repugnant to tho average parent.

Both styles are fashionable this season, but when the two piece model is chosen it must be so made that it will look as though it were one piece, even when the skirt is separate from the waist. First must the lining at the waist be must carefully fitted, then must the material be draped, for that is how the waist of today is* made; then must the skirt be fitted and hung, sewed upon the waist lining, and where it joins the i material of the waist there must be folds of the material or a satin or velvet belt be put on to hide the joining. It is I ipiite possible for a clever seamstress to finish the skirt where ! it joins the waist so neatly that it will look as though there were just the smallest edge of a fold. Cloth jackets ami coats are almost too difficult for home dressmaking, but the rule dues not apply to pongee, satin or linen. None of these materials require the pressing and finishing that only the tailor imdestands how to bestow upon the heavier fabrics, and this season there are so many smart ; models in outer garments that can be copied that even a small allowance for dress will permit uf mure than one attractive pongee, linen or even crepe do chine gown with coat to match. Embroidered Pale Blue Voile do Soie Gown With Black Chiffon Coat PROGRESS OF CHINA'S WAR ON OPIUM rilllE greatest temperance campaign in the world is nol tbe J, one that has been making state after state "dry" in America, but the crusade uf the Chinese Government against opium,.which lias now been in progress for three years. The authorities have set themselves "the stupendous task of eradicating this national and popular vice in a country whose population is generally estimated at 400,000,000." says the Annual Report on Opium Suppression, issued by the Hritish Legation at Pekin. Sir John Jordan, the British Minister at the *, hinese capital, says in a dispatch to London that thc Government is making "considerable progress" in this work, and "there has undoubtedly been a very sensible dim [nation iu the consumption and cultivation ut' opium, and a public opinion has been formed which will greatly strengthen the hands ut' the Government and the provincial authorities! in the drastic measure which they contemplate taking in the near future. The Bombay Guardian confirms this optimistic view of the British olHcial in the following terms: "Previous reports have showed great differences in the success with which the grent reform is being carried ou1 in different provinces of the great Chinese Empire. The present report ( 1900) shows a more striking contrast than any of the 1 others, especially as regards the cultivation of the opium poppy. At one end of the scale stand six widely separated provinces, in which orders for total prohibition were issued! aud enforced during the season of 1907-8, with remurkitble success. Two ni these, Sham-i and Yunnan, had been among the largest producers of opium, nearly all the suitable lands in both being given up tu poppy cultivation. Vet, with the exception of the portions nf Yunnan occupied by semi-independent races, they have been almosl cleared o. the poppy.,f Kach ui the opium-growing provinces was visited by a British otticial. whose reports, rieehires this journal, "testify to th" remarkable success achieved in checking the plague ni poppies." Yet reports have not always been so favorable, principally owing tu the weakness of those in authority, and we are told: "Widely different is the tenor of reports from some uthei provinces. Where, as in Eastern Szechuen, the officials have vacillated, fanners who have seen their neighbors sowing puppy with impunity, and reaping the reward of heightened prices due to suppression in other parts, have been eager to i the-e unhallowed gains, so that, in not n t'icts, Ulore poppy was sown in 1907-S than' get their sh; few of thesi lams : as u l i and be Veteran Scrip Farm Loans We? will Accept a first mortgage on Itnprqyeel farm land and sell you Veteran Scrip in this way at regular eash price.
