M. D., writing the Cranbrook Herald, says: I permanent i0ae mine8i You have published recently j matter of fact, however some notes by Mr. Pollen on the history ot the K. C. R. since that gentleman became connected with it. Now it might perhaps interest your readers to have h few reminiscences regarding railway matters and the history of our enterprise prior to that date The writer, studying the railway situation in South East Kootenay as it had been created by the construction of the B. C. Southern railway (the statutory name) commonly called now the Crow's Nest line or moro irrevently "The Crow," was not satisfied that the best route had been chosen, having in mind the general development of the great natural resources of the district. Seeing that the agricultural and mining resources of the country lying east of the Kootenay river had been so unwisely neglected by the Magnates of the C. P. R., his first thought was to encourage the introduction into tho valley of a competing line; and for that purpose, in the fall of 1899, he ventured to take a trip to St. Paul to meet the famous ex- Canadian railway builder, J. J. Hill. He was fortunate in being very affably received by that gentleman, with whom he discussed the coal and other resources of the valley. The information he was able to give Mr. Hill regarding the just then proved qualities of the Fernie coal, led him to make trial of it a fow weeks later on his Great Northern line; and the reports he received from his engineers (which reports by the way were duly published in tlie papers) induced him ultimately to acquire a large interest in the Fernie coal company, and later to build the Crows Nest Southern railway, connecting the Great Northern with the Fernie coal iields. Out of this visit (made solely in the public interest) bas come a vastly increased activity in our coal mining industry, and to follow from it still, there will be seen in the days to come more active development of our varied resources, more extensive railway building and a more general prosperity than our district has yet enjoyed. But to resume our reminiscences. It was one of the most effective arguments used with the people of Eastern Canada to induce them to consent to a substantial cash subsidy for the j would have construction of the B. C. South-! Joseph creek ern, that if would lead to the j heavier grade development of our wonderful j lessly encountered in passing coal Iields and other mineral through Isadore canyon on the resources of Southern British higher instead of the lower leve the writer came into the district in the early spring of 1897, there was a great ileal of prospecting work going on at varioi s points in the range east of the Koot-I eiiay >\"^y <>» «[*t Horse, I EnthusiasUc where the rich depos ol placer gold gave reasonal .* ground to hope for the dis very of even richer anil, of course, more As a when the railway was iiuished and in operation along its present route, and no provision had been made to furnish transportation to developing properties east of the river, owners got tired of paying assessments and very soon all development I Work ceased. This was not in the interest of the province, nor did it fulfill the expectations of the eastern Canadian supporters of the railway subsidy. Of course the writer nor any one else can say with certitude that no paying mines will ever be discovered in the rocky range east of the river—though something of that similtude has been read in certain governmental annual reports of years past. As an observer in somewhat intimate connection with the work of construction as it proceeded through the valley, it has always seemed to the writer that there was to< much haste to get from point to point and ultinirtely to roach the Kootenay lake by a given date in 1808; that the country was not explored with sufficient thoroughness either to find the best grades possible, or witli a view to the adoption of the route bent calculated to secure the largest .'•jvelopmeut of our latent natural resources. For instance, after reaching Elko, had the road been carried along at the foothills past the iron deposits and the magnificent water power of Pull river, and thence past Lost creek, Man's creek and Wild Horse to Fort Steele, there would have bebn a stimulus given to the various companies then doing development work in hesitating fashion that might have led to the discovery of something valuable. At any rate a mineral territory would have been covered, that by the adopted route has boon left over since unserved. This was unfortunate, and the more so, as after leaving the mountains at Elko, the "Crow" traverses no mineral bearing territory for a distance of fully fifty miles till the St. Eugene mine is reached at Moyie. But by the east side route quite twenty miles of mineral country would have been covered; and crossing on a single span bridge a mile above Fort Steele, the valley of the St. Mary's would have been entered and slowly rising to it's benches on it's southerly side, .Joseph creek been crossed and reached by no than was need- WILL CELEBRATE ON LABOR DAY Hosmer Citizens Declare for its Observance Watchmaker and Jeweller A public meeting was held in I the old sclioollmuse last night for the purpose of making arrangements for the celegration of Labor Day, Monday.

' TALK Ho-6 Embroidered Ecru Tussor Gown French serge. The coU>r is white and the trimming consists of the merest thread of pastel messaline plaid outlining the "buttonholes and rimming tlie round neck and the bands of the short kimonn sleeves. The skirt is of the semi-plaited order; tbe blouse of the new peasant type with seamless sleeves. The fastening is down one side of the front of the blouse and half-way down the side of the skirt. The seam joining the skirt and blouse in one-piece effect is concealed beneath a belt of the material Ornamented with rows of machine stitching between the plaid-piped edges. With the dress were furnished three hells: one of red suede, one'of white dressed kid and oue of patent leather, A guimpe of tucked batiste aud baby Irish luce completed the garment. A model cut on similar lines is of lavender linen of basket weave. The round neck ami kimonn sleeves are linished with shaped bauds of the material, the lower edge of the neck baud and the upper one of the sleeves being denned by a two-inch plaiting of line linen edged witli a narrow insertion of pale yellow Valenciennes lace. The buttons are of white pearl and the belt of wistaria suede clasped by au ornamental pearl buckle. The skirt is a box-plaited model. Very interesting blouses are included in this same trousseau. One of these is made of the finest lisle crepon cloth in white. The garment has Gibson shoulders and a sleeve' of elbow length. The neck is in Dutch outline and is bordered ■by a strip of pale blue batiste showing Persian iigures stamped in pale amber colors. Partly concealing the Persian batiste is the yoke proper of Valenciennes galloon. The sleeves are linished with a narrow strip of the figured material surmounted with a lace band. The model is as pretty as it is novel. lt was noticed that the skirts made for June brides incline to the uarorw styles originated by M. Paul 1'oiret for fashion* able Parisian ties during the late winter and adapted by leading dressmakers for Americans during the spring and summer seasons. In such materials as serge, ramie linens and some of tbe voiles, the front panel and the foot border are cut in oue piece and the fullness of the sides gathered or plaited beneath that border. Not a few of the models show the plaits flatly stitched from wnist to the top of the foot baud, the latter measuring anywhere from a yard and a quarter to two yards about the lower edge. Lt may be remarked, in passing, that this style of skirt is likely to be in considerable evidence in the early fall models. Une of the features ol' the present season is the little tunic of voile, marquisette or uhiffon cloth made tor wear over the gown of foulard, of tail'eta, ami, above all, over the frock of lingerie persuasion. Several of these little garments ure included in the trousseaux of tlie up-to-date bride. She may wear them witII her tea gOWtl of soft satin or mull 01' with her elaborate dinner gowu. As a rule ih»' color employed is black, elaborated with Iridescent embroideries, soutache application or insertions of Chant illy luce. Not a few of them are quite devoid of orna men tut ion save for Ihe narrow border fringe of crystals or jet. The necks are round or V; and the sleeves short and ,'i narrow kimona effect. The summer negligees are extremely lovely, whether foi the bride or the bride's sisters, cousins or minis. Among the latest C0Ucelts in negligee fabrics is that which employs striped cotton voiles in delicate colorings. The trimmings are Valenciennes and' i'luny laces and touches of hand embroider* ies. Some of the prettiest are embellished with baby Irish lace. The styles include a sort of modified Knipire. where the collarless yoke and thc short sleeves are out in oue piece and trimmed iu various ways according to the nature of the fabric and the colorings. The sun plaited negligee is also seen again, usually wilh a deep yoke that gives the garment a semi-fitted effect.' The Russian type is expressed in negligees of both long. and short variety aud Ihe allover embroidery flounces and lnce Insertions are favorite materials for this variety. Persian patterns are seen in cotton and silk crepes; sometimes they are in use for the border bands of plain crepes or satins The lingerie models of the season disclose a few new features thai are worth remarking. Kor instance, one of the most recent of corset covers is made ou the lines of au abbreviated chemise. It slips over the head and in this way does not, mar thi- beauty of the outer lingerie blouse by the revelation of the corset-cover buttons; and the Une of trimming that is n feature of corset covers generally, is not interrupted nor broken by the opening of the material down the front. The only disadvantage lies in the gathering of the garment about the waist and the consequent fullness about the hips. This has been overcome to a certain degree by confining the fullness beneath a shaped hip piece or peplum, which is clashed from the hem part way up the center front. The garment, laps sufficiently when on to conceal the semi-opening. Madeira embroideries, Valenciennes, (,'luny, Mechlin aud baby Irish laces are the fashionable lingerie garnitures.

God praised Solomon because he asked for wisdom instead of long life. Why so? Because wisdom—that is to say, the strict observance of the natural laws—entails, of itself, long life. Koger Bacon believed that man could live a thousand vears if he onlv knew how to economize his provision of vital , force.

A fail' price for the season would be It! rents per quart, wholesale, making the value ui a ear $9o'0, and of the 2,400 cars a total sum .if $2,304,000. This would be the amount paid lo thr re cei vers ot' the fruit, and consumers would undoubtedly pay double this, and early in ihe season three times that amount; but figure the retail price twice that ai wholesale, and it makes the ti.lv si me ia from Norfolk.

Thc height of the fly season is now on us and though thc nusiance may, to a certain extent, be minimized by the use ot screens. Still this does not get to thc root of the matter. People are only beginning to realize what a dangerous foe to humanity the common household fly is, the spread of many infectious diseases having been traced back to this pest. The great breeding place for these insects is in the piles of refuse in tho back yards and alleys of our towns, and it behoves our citizens to see that all such attractions for flies are removed, and the place kept clean and wholesome. Cleanliness is the greatest eradicator of Hies, and until this habit is carried out to a greater extent, we shall have to sull'er discomfort and danger.

The entire holdings of Pacific Coal Mine Co., Ltd., on Vancouver Island, have been purchased by the C. P. It. for $4,000,000. John Arbuthhot, president of the company, is now en route to Montreal to complete the deal. The option upon the company's holdings was taken some few months ago shortly after the announcement of purchase of Dunsmuir interests by tbe C. N, It. The deal is an important one in that it relieves the C. P. R. of dependence upon mines controlled by the Canadian Northern, which hitherto have supplied coal for its Pacific coast steamers and for railway operation on Vancouver Island. The Pacilic eoulminingcompuny has beon in existence about two years and shipped the first coal a little over a year ago. The coal is similar in character to that mined from the Dunsmuir collieries and i.s believed to be a portion of the same lead as that upon which the hitters Extension workings are situe.ted. It lies within easy reach of tide water, about twelve miles from Boat harbor and a like distance from Nanaimo. A railway has been built and is in operation between Pit Head and the dock. The acquistion of Dunsmuir interests by William McKenzie was regarded as a strategic move of great importance, giving him the whip hand over coast wise shipping and land transportation upon the coast. u,rumor has circulated frequently that the C. P. lt. was endeavouring to gain control of the Western Feul company's interests at Nanaimo, but in the meantime their coal expertfrom Trail hus.been upon the scene investigating the extent of newer company's workings with tho result that the report was favorable. The deal is said to include all the holdings of tho Pacific Coal Mines company. Mr. Arbuth- not, who was formerly mayor of Winnipeg, has had associated with him E. Metchuer and a syndicate of Winnipeggers. - e» e . i m — Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets gently stimulate the liver and bowels to expel poisonous matter, cleanse the system, cure constipation and sick headache.
