Haworth, the committee appointed by the city council to select a site for the electric light plant, lost no time in attending to their duties. They vent over all the ground that seemed available and have decided to recommend to the council a point on Esplanade at the corner of Metbuen street. It Is tha best.' place tbef could find, but there will have to be a spur track built In from the bunkers In order to have easy access to the coal. It Is not believed that there .will be any difficulty in arranging thla, and If the council move as quickly as Aid, 'Dier "anil tiaworth, lt will not be long until the plant la in operation. This haste Is desirable inasmuch as a number of citizens are contemplating the installation of gasolene lights, and if there was any prospect of an early production of electric light, there would be no need of going to the expense of putting in gasolene lights.

A few more steps brought them face to face with a lady and gentleman who had had a miraculous escape from death. It appears that a party of Chemainus people had been to Ladysmith to see the Jubilee Singers and were returning by rigs. Mr. Gilbert, tbe well-known employee in the store ot the lumber company, and Miss Mc- Gee, a nurse from the Chemainus hospital, who accompanied him, were tbe unfortunate pair and how they escaped with their lives is nothing short of a miracle. While they were descending the bill, some of the barn- ess came undone and the rig following too closely upon tbe horse frightened him. Mr. Gilbert remembers little more than that Be saw the' horse jump tbe high cribbing. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart took . the' pair to their bouse and sent for Dr. Williams, who soon arrived. Mrs. Stewart attended to the two unfortunates while Mr. Stewart roused Mr. Whltcomb out ot bed and went to look for the horse. They tound blm in a sorry fix but after carefully, removing the harness they got him on to bis feet and then began the work, of taking, an animal with three legs up the steep embankment. Mr. Stewart put tbe horse in a loose box in bis stable and on examination found that nothing but a severe sprain to one hind leg marred him. The horse was well bathed with hot water and rubbed with linament and made as comfortable as possible tor the night. Mies McGee escaped with a few but Mr. Gilbert will be unable to attend to business for j______I__ -,---, ...«■ I some time. onlv one team in it The score wll I 'nations are of three classes.

Spokane, April 5,—Nursing her son back to life and strength, that tho state may take him from ber and send, blm to tbe penitentiary for a long term, is the daily task ol Mrs. Mary Adams at the Deaconess hospital in this city. With a bullet-hole entirely through his brain, Theodore Adams, shot while trying to hold) up n Cannon Hill car on New Year's eve, paralysed on one side, is gradu ally recovering his health. Every afternoon his mother is with'him, remembering him only In the purity of his youth, and bestowing again upon him the same tender care that she gave him In the days of his childish Innocence when a mother's love gave her unshakable faith in the future ot ber boy Theodore. It Mrs. Adams has any hope that the fates will aparo her the humiliation ot seeing her own son sentenced to the penitentiary after she brought him trom verge of the grave, she never murmurs a word of complaint or reproach. Adams has heard the warrant read which charges him with highway rob-, bery, but lt will be some time, before he will be called to face tbe court, as he probably will the atek room for several weeks yet. The.new programme at thc Opera House Tuesday night was fairly good j the best subject being "Darkest Africa," which portrayed some of thc wild animals of that country. Although Mr. Lewis was suffering from a cold, his singing was highly apprc. elated. The new programme to-morrow night includes the beautiful Btory, "Enoch Arden," also "A Trip through Spain." Thc comedy element Is provided by "The Dynamite Man" and - others, There will bo a special show Saturday morning at 11 a. m. when children will be admitted for 5 cents.

This is a dea<) loss to .Canada, and also to Ladysmith, as it keeps out thc white fishermen who arc trying to build up n lish husincps and who pay taxes to the city. It should be thoroughly explained to the people that fish kept alive for two, thrco or six weeks ovo not wholesome food. The fish thus offered for sale are liopt In boxes four to five feet square, ere never fed, and arc kept thero so long that tbey turn blind and are covered with sores. In this condition they cannot be wholesome food. Now, Mr. Editor, just think of a butcher keeping a cow standing in a lake with nothing but water to drink for three weeks? Ho would he prosecuted lor cruelty and nlso for offering for sale for human tnod nn animal that hod been treated in that manner. Now, sir, this is just the way the Japs ke?p and treat tho codfish they are peddling through town, and tt muet not be forgotten that lofrosy Is caused hy eating diseased fish. It. is time tlio hen,tli inspector was looking into tho matter. Mr. Editor, fish should be killed at once when takon from the water. This in what thc white fishermen do, and It makes n big difference in tho taste The'you can get good frosh fish. People ship Another thing, medical men will tell you that fish in n diseased condition is likely to produce a looseness of tho bowels. . j Cruelty of thin kind should be stopped at once, nnd I would like to have tbe views of others on tbe subject. Any one who doubts this statement should take a trip out to Cow- ichan Gap and see for themselves. Of course, the Jap caught fish may be cheaper than those offered far sale* by the white man, but the latter Is the best so tar as health' is concerned. The white man's Ssh is killed at ones and then taken to market, so' of fish when cooked for the table, should think of their health, and not buy cheap, starved, diseased fish; Have a white town and encourage the white fishermen. Keep the Japs out of the town, or we may find them digging coal at Extension and elsewhere, and also setting up stores of all kinds. Then what? A WHITE MAN. Chemainus, Ii. 0„ April 4th, 1909.

Attorney-General Bowser lelt tor the East Sunday. He will be absent several months, dulng which time he will travel over Europe and spend a lew weeks gazing at the monuments along the Nilo. Mr. William Wallace Bruce Mclnnes has been appointed senior county court Judge ior Vancouver. The reward is scarcely commensurate with | his attention ta the hill near Mr to a Rossland broker, stating that British" Columbia mining shares are looking up there and are being inquired for to a considerable extent of late, and requesting information concerning mines in order to stimulate dealing. The citizens of Ladysmith will extend their heartiest congratulations to the people of Nanaimo on the raising of the quarantine at the latter city. Undoubtedly Nanaimo has suffered much from the visitation of smallpox, but with renewed liie and energy all will be forgotten in a short time. Addressing the Empire club on Canada's natural resources, Mr. R. W. Brock, director of tbe geographical survey, said Canada was destined to become one of the greatest mineral countries in the world. Sufficient surveys had been made to warrant the assertion that the Dominion min< eral resources ure practically unlimited. It is rather unfortunate that Ladysmith will have to pass another bylaw before operations on the sewer will commence. That this will have to be done is not the fault cf the city council. The men who are lending the money want better security that was offered by the provisions ot the first by-law. When the money appropriated for Newcastle district by the Government is being spent it would be well for the road commissioner to turn the services Billy rendered his party, but lt is something, and he needed the money. The sentiment in favor ol woman suffrage is growing in the United States. The other day an attempt was made to introduce a woman suffrage bill In tbe MasacUnsetts House ol Representatives, and was defeated by a vote of 43 to 1C0. Stewart's house, where the accident occurred Monday night. It was fortunate that nothing worse than a few severe wounds resulted from the upsetting of the buggy over the embankment.

Plimley Automobile Co., Victoria mother country can make no answer to the splendid demonstration of New Zealand, Canada and Australia which would do full justice to its significance. She welcomes it with pride, bnt she must also make it clear that while she counts upon the dominions with even greater confidence than before for co-operation in the task of imperial defence, she must he and is prepured to maintain her supremacy in the quarter at present challenged, of her own strength alone. That is a national necessity wherein the entire empire is deeply concerned, but which would still be necessary to this country it the empire did not exist. We are fully able and fully determined to tane it upon ourselves as our particular care. That determination'on our part will in no way detract from our appreciation of their aid or from its va.ue to imperial security. The best use to. which the welcome naval co-operation now offered by the dominions can be applied is toward strengthening tbe defences each in its own quarter of the world. Co-operation In that manner will prove the best form of cooperation In the end.
