Wost ol the shingle mills in British Columbia are said to be shipping almost their entire output to the United States. Discussing the article in The Mail Herald dealing with the exports Irom this province to the l'nited States a prominent shingle manufacturer stutcd this morning that % per cent of the shingles now being made in British Columbia were being shipped across thc border to meet the demand which has beeu gradually increasing since the removal of the duty under the new United States tariff revisions last autumn. ' too pleased to put it. I am not Aid. Needham said he really did Interested in this anyway and I have this was the beBt thing to do or not. He himselt felt that was what he would do if this was a private matter but other councillors might have a different opinion. I Aid. Bell asked if a citizen could sue the council for damages in case of Iobs sustained from lack of power. Mr. North—No, the city does not guarantee a continuous supply. | Aid. Bell—One citizen said he would sue the city for $5110(1 damages. Mr. North—The city would be liable to lose customers. | The Mayor—As the report says we have spent 850O in extra wages in a few days to keep the plunt running. Aid. Needham said he had been thinking the mutter over since he pre viously expressed an opinion on the subject and the reason he had changed ed his mind was that he did not previously realise that it would take nearly twelve months to get a new unit installed. He felt the best thing they could do was to put the matter off for a week or so and then let each alderman come to a meeting pre pared to say yes or no and decide the CANADIAN RAILWAYS Legacies Left by the Old Regime.

If it was so wish ed he would defer the matter and the traffic. The government found on its hands an annual vexatious congestion of grain traffic in the West a problem which the late government had reasonable terms to build u line north of the Canadian Northern and as far West as Edmonton. He deprecated the present building of a line from Quebec to Winnipeg, and thought a simple colonization road sufficient. He urged the development of the national waterways, and on this subject said " Thoroughly equip our Georgian Bay ports, our national wayerways, our St. Lawrence route and our ports on the Atlantic coast. Give them the terminal facilities which will enable them to compete with American ports. Give them, if necessary to properly compete With the American ports, tree terminals.

Aid. McSorley—Did anyone tell you this one would? Aid. Bell—"Man never is, but always to be blest." The Mayor said that in 1910, the revenue from the plant was R250CO, and in 1913 it was JI4.000. It was climbing right along. Aid. Smvthe said he had heard en- rngh from Mr. North to convince ways on the St. Lawrence route and jpoarently made but little effort Avrtlop the facilities at Port Col- borne.

If it could be decided at that meeting it would be far better than letting it stand ever. Personally he hud nuide up bis n ii,il mi the matter before be came to the meeting. He considered this rim since he made a previous remark ....,__ ._ about this business being railroaded through. They had to go by what Mr. North said In regard to this new machinery. They had to have it. He therefore moved that a bylaw he prepared for this purpose and that the matter be nut before the people in the best way possible. He had no doubt 'if they all worked together the bylaw would be put through. Aid. Bell seconded. Aid. Bourne—Are yon going to mention the amount of the bylaw? Aid. Smythe—We have Mr. North's report. Aid. McSorley—It will have to bo figured out. The Mayor—We may have definite figures by the next meeting. The motion was declared carried unanimously when put to the vote.

Announcement to this effect was made by Mr. Robert H. Muusheld, United States consul-geiiei'ul at Vancouver. In order to cope with the extra ex port liusiuess which has resulted Irom the elimination and reductions in the duties on British Columbia commodities, it lias beeu (uund uecessury for the Vancouver cunsulur branch .to ac quire additional oilice nccoinniodatiou and to rearrange the quurters to facil Itate the transaction of commercial business, The increase In the business rcla - tions between this province and the United States was reflected in the comparative statement published in Hi.' Province early in January,showing the amount ol exports up to De- Oember 31, Later returns show that the exports have been practically doubled dining the period that the new tarifl provisions have been operative. The greatest gains are noted iu the figures tor shipments ol shingles, lumber ol different classes, wood pulp, fish, ore and bullion. It is the general opinion among those in touch with the lumber situation that the placing ol shingles on the tree list has Imparted a big stimulus to tbe InJustry in British Columbia..

No doubt the needs of many of these small municipalities aro legitimate enough, even If a littlo iii advance of their present requirements, but it was certainly tnnethnt they were, brought under the subjection of the respective provincial gepv- ernments, No doubt when he was re- i.iitly in this country, Sir Richard McBride discovered bow urgent waa the need Ior legislation, and he and Ins colleagues nre to he complimented upon thc promptness with which they have taken steps to- supervise the issue ol loans and debentures by British Columbia cities and district municipalities.

FRUIT GROWING Another of our infant, but destined to be gigantic industries, is the Fruit Growing business, throughout the -h.ltered fertile valleys of our Interior. The vast numbers oi people whose prairie crops of Golden Grain wave over countless hundreds of miles of land whereon it is impossible to grow fruit, possess both the appetite and the mean- where wi'h 10 satisfy same; and in the near future tho fruit eating desire of a population of twenty millions of prosperous citizens of the ere.it Northwest, will have to be satisfi.sl by the products of B.O. Interior fruit ranches and orchards. AGRICULTURE. But fruit growing is anly one of the varied methods of wresting wealth from B.C. valley soils. As thc operations of the lumbermen take of! one valuable crop of produce, they are succeeded by the mixed farmer, who tears out the stumps of thc forest- groWthl, nnd re plants the products of the market garden and mixed farm The samo insatiable market which gapes open for the products of the orchard, is wailing to swallow up the produce of the celory and tomntoe field, the potato row, nnd the cabbage patch. In the same manner ns the present dny smiling fields nnd pastures of Old Ontario were hewn out of the wilderness of but throe short generations a'_!Oiio. so shall the fertile valleys ami hillsides ot British Columbia blos'soin as the rose under the efforts of a race of pioneers ftnd agriculturists, before whose labors, barltod by resources of idinos and money, unavailable lo their forefathers of the Empire Loyalists, the terrors of tho western wilds are even now and before our eyes, being replaced by Iho bounteous p.aee nnd plenty of a highly ciil- i.. .'.I laud.

INDUSTRIAL POSSIBILITIES While Revelstoke thus occupies an exceptionally strong position as a traffic emporium, its outlook is still brighter from an industrial and manufacturing point of view. There are! 1,800 miles of timber on the Columbia river and its tributaries north of the city. The expeaditure involved in the conversion of this timber into a marketable product will not full far short uf $-75,000,000. Water power is plentiful in the vicinity, the city having harnessed one stream to a capacity of 1,800 horse power, whi h is offered for industrial purposes at low rates. in the valleys tributary to Revelstoke are about a quarter of „ million acres of land of good quality, and which, when cleared of timber, and cultivated, is well adapted for fruitgrowing, poultry farming, dairying, stock raising, and general agriculture. This land is capable of supporting a rural population of 30,000 people. Extensive and varied mlnernl deposits are known to exist in the neighborhood, and nwnit development. Cradled amid beautiful scenes of mountain an 1 glacier, forest-clad hill and vale, river, stream and lake; favored with an equable climate, RevelBtoke is one of the most picturesquely lo atcd of Canadian cities and an I ideal town in which to make a home. It is well lighted, has a high pressure supply of pure water which can be extended to meet any future re - quirements, good drainage and sewerage, high-class c'lucai ional institutions in the way of public and high schools', a Y.M.C.A. witb a well- equipped gymnasium, two public parka fair grounds, ra"e track, magnificent summer park on Mount Revelstoke connected with th? city by trail, nice homes and gardens, and in fact all the modem conveniences that go to make a town attractive from a resi -1 dential point of vi-vv. tThe great summer and loirist reports of the RO'ky Mountains are with.n a few | hours reach.) Good fishing may be hail in many of the adjacent streams and lakes. Hunters will find here resorts of big game with reliable guides at call. IDEA!.

Thc heat is noi excessive in midsummer; tbe evenings are always pleasantly cool. The winters are not extreme, the temperature rarely falling below i.cio. and then not exoeeding ten degrees below for a few days in midwinter. The natural moisture Is sufficient to make irrigation unnecessary. A more bracing ntmos - phere it would be difficult to find. The Government record- show summer and winter ranges of temperature as follows: Summer—July. 1909, Maximum ^9 deg July 1809, Mean. 77 deg; July 1009 Minimum, 40 deg.; July, l'.lO'J, Mean •19 deg.

LANDS OPEN The throwing open of the Railway bolt lands to settlement, enabling bona fide Prof. Robert Laird was the first speaker and in a strong eloquent address showed thc need of tbe churches pw- akeuing to their responsibility. All over the world there are signs of a moral awakening. Canada has one of the greatest of problems. One in i very ten persons is of foreign birth and unless wc bring them up to our ideals they must drag us down to theirs. Then again the great nutions of the Orient are awakening to new life, und they need the true life. It bas been ours for centuries, und it is our duty to give it to these millions emerging from the darkness of heath i lidoni. The principle of self sacrifice is the very heart ot Christianity. Those who goto foreign fields sacrifice much, those who remain at home should sacrifice something. We are inclined to dispute the Cli.iinmen nnd Hindoos who have come to our laud but we must never forget that these men have moral and spiritual resources equal to our own. We uiust recognise them ns brethren. Wc are ildness J"8t proud of the splendid class of 'lien who take our trains through these mountains. But we must remember that thc men in India and China run engines just as large aB our through mountains jusi as dangerous, nnd they shew themselves equally as brave and skillful. They need cur Christianity to destroy the terrible race and caste prejudice by which they are bound down. Thn object of the Laymen's Missionary movement is to do this. The testi- cry person connected with the church To do it effective business methods must be used. What is thc cost of Canada's share of this work? Five million dollars. It seems a large sum hut we must not say we cannot afford it. When Canada's output for 1913 amounted to thirty one billions of dollars dare we say we cannot pare live millions for the greatest business Of our nation. The Christianizing of the whole race. The charts on the wall showed the striking results accomplished by the systematic use of the duplex envelope , and the every man canvass at least once a year. Such a canvass cure - fully planned nnd conducted had increased the revenue sometimes as ,nuch as a hundred per cent nnd the whole life of the congregation had been greatly stimulated. Not only were the glvlngs fe.r missions increased but at the same time many new members were brought int. ■ the church. Rev.

The real extent of tho loss wrought by tire which destroyed the Missouri Vthletio club building here yesterday will begin te. unfold iiseli today when I iriii 'ii enter the ruins in a search for the score or more bodies believed to be buried there. Four searchlights played on the niii.s early today, revealing what appeared to he eleven human bodies, I nddleil together near the front wall .if the building Because of the pre- us condition of this lust remain- mi' wall, Bremen were unable to recover the bodies. Seven dead were taken from the building yesterday and twenty-seven others w_0 are known to have been in tne building at the time of the fire Imve been given up as dead. The number of persons In the club .vhen the lire alarm was given and Who Heaped With more or Iihb serious injuries was estimated at lifty live to day. Many Of these who escaped be- ruining dazed or hysterical through the experience, wandered about the city all day before reporting to the bureau of Idsntlfloatlon which bad I een established. This was partly re- sponst-ls for the excesH number oi dead given ln the estimates. Skulls exhumed from the ruins ol I'ompeil show that dental upholstery was not unknown to the ancients.
