Hell seconded by Aid. Pradolini, the decision of the city council on Friday night. Thi'' and other matters occupied the attention of the council at a meeting which lasted until after midnight and at which subjects ranging from dog taxes to electric machinery were exhaustively discussed. Three petitions were before the council. They asked for the pavement with hitulithie as a local improvement under the Local Improvement act to the full width of the street from curb to curb ol* McKenzie avenue from the north side of Victoria road to the south side ol* Third street and of First street from the east side of Orton avenue to the west side of Campbell avenue.

To pave First street from tho west side of C impbell avenue to the west side of Government road with permanent pavement the full width of the street from curb to curb. At the request of Mayor McKinnon each alderman expressed his views on the project presented by the petitions. Aid.

Investigation should also be made, he Baid, as to the condition of the water pipes a,.el Bewers before covering them with a permanent pavement. The Canadian Pacific .railway was a great factor in Revelstoke. It had never done anything to bring tourists to the city. In the past the city had done nothing to help itself but had always looked to the government or the railway company.

II. Sutherland of Revelstoke wus unanimously selected as Liberal candidate for Revelstoke riding nt a convention of Liberal delegates for the district held on Tuesday evening of last week. Dr. Sutherland's nomination was proposed by William Lawrence and seconded hy W. Tomlinson. No other nominations were mtute. The candidate of the Liberals of Revelstoke is a .surgeon and physician of much distinction. He has been twice president of the Uritish C ilumbia Medical association anil was for one term, in 1912, mayor of Kev- elstoke, In accepting Dr. Sutherland said that he would rather not have had the nomination hut that as someone had to fight the battle he would accede to the wishes of the meeting. He criticised the policy or the McBride government and mentioned some of the aims for which the Liberal party would work. The following resolution was passed: "We, the Liberals of Kevelstoke riding in convention assembled, do most heartily express our unbounded confidence in our most worthy leader, the Honorable Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and do endorse his action during the past session of the Dominion parliament, in regard to his stand on the Navy bill, and believe with him, that Canada has a perfect right and is both able and competent to construct and most ably man a navy of her own, in opposition to a monetary contribution. We would also endorse the strenuous efforts put forth by our worthy leader in his endeavor to reduce the tariff on agricultural machinery, and secure larger markets for the farmers' produce. We also wish to express our deepest respect and unbounded faith in the ultimate success of the Liberal policy, and feel assured that it will not be long before the Liberal party will be asked by the Canadian people to assume the reins of government. We sincerely trust that the life of this great statesman, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, will long be spared to rule the destinies and propogate the principles of the Liberal party in Canada. "We also wish to express our entire confidence in Mr. II. C. Brewster, leader of the Liberal party in this province; we mosi heartily approve of his method of touring the country, in an educational campaign, both in the interests of the Liberal party and 'he general public. "We heartily endorse the Liberal platform as unanimously assented to at one of the largest conventions over held in the province in February last. "We desire to express our loyalty and devotion to the ;.".ieral eaur.j ami to the Liberal leaders and we wouid • • them that Revelstoke was never m"'-r willing and ready to outer ■ con est to defend these principles than et the present time."

M. Parry and Constable Garnett from the scene of their crime to the railway bridge over the Columbia river and afterwards seen by hoboes at a camp at the Big Eddy, the two burglars who early on the morning of April 28 blew the safe at the postoffice and escaped with booty consisting of three gold watches ami two chains, the property of Postmaster Young, $150 in gold and notes and agreements of sale, the property of Mrs. Scafe, assistant postmistress, have disappeared. The police are working diligently on the case, fifty dollars' reward has been offered by the city Cor information leading to the apprehension of the culprits and their descriptie n so far as known and a description o!' the property stolen has been circulated by Chief Parry among the police forces where the safeblow- ers are likely to be seen. .Sieon after the burglary a freight train passed going west. This was pursued and overhauled by Chief Parry al Craigellachie but no trace ol" the culprits was to be found. On his return the chief raided a hobo camp at Big Eddy and arrested 20 men, and although some of the hoboes reported having seen men answering to the description of the safe blowers the robbers were not among those arrested. As soon as news of the burglary reached the police station by telephone Sergt. Cleland hastened to the scene and it was the sound of his footsteps as he ran that alarmed the burglars and caused them to decamp. Constable Ross was also at the spot immediately after thc alarm was given. Three hundred and seventy-three dollars left behind by the burglars in their haste were picked up by the police on the floor of the postoffice. A knife, a bottle of nitro-glycerine and some soap were also found. The burglary was of the most daring- description. Three shots in all were fired. The safe doors were shattered and one oi* the heavy doors was blown bodily across the postoffice and made a dent in the wall _•"> feet away. The attention of Miss Bell, a nurse at the hospital was attracted by the sound of the first shot and she and Miss Geiger, anoher nurse, joined afterwards by Douglas Blackwell, fireman at the hospital and Mrs. Black- well watched the burglars operating from the hospital windowss. Miss Bell gave the alarm to the police by telephone but some delay was encountered in making connection. Mrs. S. Gale who lives in a house at the rear of the postoffice was also awakened by the first sho: and saw the burglars from her bedroom window. Arthur \\V. Thompson, night clerk at the Revelstoke hotel passed the post- office aboti*- half an hour before the burglary was committed and noticed two men in the neighborhood answering to the description of the burglars. One man stationed at the rear of the postoffice was seen by witnesses of the occurrence running from side to side of the postoffice to command a view in every direction while his comrade blew the safe. When he heard the footsteps of the police he tapped at the rear window and both miscreants ran toward the railway tracks. One evidently dropped part of his booty for he was seen to return, pick something up and pro eed.

They have done ull that was required of them and If Dr. Sutherland and his friends should in the end decide to again pay to Hon. Thomas Taylor the compliment of acclamation their course would be applauded not only by Conservatives but by that great body of Liberals in Revelstoke and elsewhere who believe that nothing can be gained by factious opposition and that the work to which Mr. Taylor has devoted his energies with so much success deserves recognition at the hands of all those who have the' interests of the province most at heart. 3ntcrior OMibltsbtitfl Company 1.IMITKI1 _= =w** t i i=*±y.- i WEDNESDAY, Amtttl "Mb, 1911.

The fire which severely damaged its machinery, ruined a large portion of its building I ! ei spread havoc and disorganization mad'.- a brief suspension of publication inevitable. Today, although still labelling under difficulties the Mail Herald reappears. In the near future its facilities will be extensively increased and il will give to its friends and supporters better service than ever before. Its constant aim will be I" pioduce a newspaper which will be in every respect worthy of the pros- • and progressive city which it serves, and which will be the city's bf - adverti ement. The Mail Herald offers apologies fo any impe fections thai may be discoverable in the present issue.

Mail Herald c . lerla 1 h I ■ . . ■ • Lil ■ in SPEAKING OF STAMPS nominating Dr. W. II. Suther- uiil a . I ibei-al candidate in Revelstoke Mr. A. McRae said: "In nominating a candidate we iiiiihI have a man who will look after this ilis- uict in particular and the province in general We do not want any rub- ber stbinps." Dr. Sutherland In accepting the nominatioi echoed Mr, MeRae's remarks. "Ii will never be a case of rubber stamp representation so long as I am able to speak and act on your behalf," ha said, "either on the plat- *'orm or in the house at Victoria " And he declare I "any suggestions you may make will always be properly taken up and considered." By "rubber stamps" the speakers no doubt meant a man who will nicely register the decree of others, and will neglect to use his own judgment. of that Hon. Thomas Taylor cannot, at least, be accused, lie is not a subordinate member of the legislature, b.,i tne efficient head of the most important department of the government. His record is before the people ol British Columbia and it is a recoid of progressiveness, initiative and strength of purpose which has met with approval from one end el' the province to the other and which won for him at the last election t'.i undivided support of his const it i,i its, Liberals and Conservatives alike. On lhe other hand the record of Dr. S llherland does not inspire confidence that he will avoid the danger which .Mi. McRae fears. As mayor '•I' Reve'.-toke he displayed no extraordinary determination. Although mayor ii i never was the outstanding leader in civic affairs, nor did hi direct the work of the council with any firm'!'' He has no '.Teat inclination fo lul ■'■ ■ ■' pi , ic life and il is m ch to be fearea that, if he wer ■ t ■ represent a constituency in the I isla- re, be' would blindly obey the behests of those V llO are at )•■ • I n lenders of .vhich In gives h.~ allegiance. Even hi nomination as he has publicly an- e . I was forced upon him against OV ll Wl ular." Could any argument be more futile? No one could do more for the constituency than has been done by Mr. Taylo -, and no one could do less than the Liberal candidate is likely to accomplish. The job department of the Mail Herald is an important adjunct of the newspaper. It is equipped with the lali'sl machinery anil is in a position to produce at the most reasonable price work which cannot be surpassed in the largest cities of the Dominion Orders with which it may he entrusted will be given prompt anil efficient attention. Although no other nomination was made at lhe Liberal convention thc candidature of Dr. Sutherland is far from giving unanimous satisfaction. One delegate protested that it was useless to bring forward any other name as everything was cut and dried and the machine had arranged who was lo 'ie candidate before any name was laid I el'ore the convention. He also objected to Dr. Sutherland's candidature on the ground that he was a busy physician and had not time io ,lev.do to the duties of a member of the legislature, Railroad Chaplain Is District Missionary Rev. ,1. II. Sheppard, railroad chaplain in chai ge of the district from Glacier to Sicamous, is stationed in Revelstoke and is holding Church of England services at points where his visits aie required. What is believed to have heen the first Church of England ever held at Sols- qua was conducted there by Mr. Sheppard, the congregation, which met in the schoolhouse, being surprisingly large. Mr. Sheppard, who comes from the diocese of Toronto was for 2*2 years lector of Coldwater, Ont, He has been granted a year's leave of absence which he will spend in missionary work in the west.

Sir Thomas Visits City (Continued from rage One.) He said (he company hoped to be operating trains on the Kettle Valley lire by the middle of next year and it was expected a service would be inaugurated by way of Spence's Bridge and the Nicola valley line early in 1916 io he utilized until the Hope Mountain cut-off is finished. He denied that a complete alternative line from Winnipeg to the coast was under consideration. Asked as to how he found conditions in the west, Sir Thomas said: ''Then are many signs of real and permanent improvement in conditions 'I lie whole country has been passing through a period of stress cal' ui.-.ted to try the metal of the peo- pij but it has stood the strain well. With good crops next fall, there should be removed all doubt about Western Canada marching forward without further interruption to the splendid destiny that is hers. "1 do not mean that we shall see a boom, or anything of that sort, but that wc shall enter upon a period of sane, natural development, which will be all the better for the country in the long run. "In respect to conditions at the coast, while there has, of course, been a cessation of that feverish activity that characterized the past few years, 1 no,ice indications of an improvement. Dm timber shipments are picking up, and (his is a good sign. Asked as to the rumor that the new Pacific Empresses the Asia and Russia, might be transferred to the Atlantic, lo be replaced hy larger vessels in.v building, Sir Thomas shook his be.j with an emphatic, "there is nothing in it."

Potrufl delegates from tbe Agricultural Association and Fanners Institute interviewed the eity oouncil on Friday and urged ih it the oity obtain an option on a site for a future market. Mr. Taylor pointed out that real estate values are inoreasing. There was, lie said already considerable farming in l he vicinity of the city which would eventually make the establishment of ,i market necessary. Regarding an aooount from the oity for wiring the agricultural building he said that it had li i promised liy Dr. Sutherland when mayor tbat the oity would do the work free of oharge, The property worth $7000 would at the mid of the lease revert to the city. The Agricultural Saotety could only just milk ids ineel ami were spending what money they could In Improving i In- ground', Mayor MoKlnnon said that the idea that the land would revart to the city was a joke.

Feb. 23rd, 1914 To the members of tbe Ladies Hospital Guild of Queen Victoria Hospital: Madame President and Ladies:— I beg to submit my report for tbe year ending Feb. 21th, 1914. Ten regular and four special meetings were held during the year, and the work of the Guild has been most satisfactory. Two vcry successful whist drives were held A jam and pickle shower also a linen shower at the opening of the hospital which took place in June. From these entertainments the sum of $21)3.55 was realized. The guild furnished the sun room, end the nurses sitting room. They also supplied linen, china and curtain materials for the whole hospital and laid a sewing woman for making cut- tains and various articles of linen, etc. The demands have been very heavy this year, owing to the increas ed size of the hospital and the great cr number of patients treated than formerly. We sincerely hope for an increase in our membership this year as we feel that all the ladies in Revelstoke should be interested and willing to help to raise funds for tbe good work being done. K. C.

When our suflragistB paraded in Washington, American freemen, bold, rugged creatures, noble in the superiority of sex, disrupted the marching columns of women by jeering them and advising them to return to the cook Btove, says the Chicago Tribune. When Parisian suflragistB paraded in Paris, youthful gallants and elderly satyrs so ogled, bowed scraped, blew kisses, and tossed cou>- pliment8 that the women bad to implore the police to clear the streets of their embarrassing admirers, and when all who had come to flirt had le en driven away, the sidewalks were rare and the parade was abandoned for lack of observers to give it a value. Thus do two great nations by different methods get the same result. ia While Vancouver and British Columbia have been busy exploiting commercial possibilities, there is an- c-ther natural .ihsi-i which seems to lavs been altogether overlooked, and that is the wonderful scenery, uccord Ing to Mr, Robert H. Mansfield, American consul, who recently came here from Switzerland, whore he rep- if sen ted his government for eight yeurs. Uritish Columbia, Mr. Munslleld says, is much more picturesque than Switzerland, This province has more In ofler the tourist. Nature has placed in this province her moet wonderful mountain, valley und stream, in i.ni. Mr. Mansfield suid yesterday, Un- situation ol Vancouver, the Inlet i.ml the mountains beyond, remind! one a great deal of Lake Zurich, a lung, narrow bodv of water, and the mountain scenery beyond. in Switzerland they have exploited the scenery, or, us Mr. Munslleld puts it, "capitalized their scenery." Switzerland has no natural resources and the people make the most of that which tbey have, the scenery; and British Columbia lias not only about every natural resource, but scenery greater than that ol Switzerland. In addition, one of the things which is lery attractive to Mr. Manslitld after hiS residence in Switzerland, is the fact that tourists who come to British Columbia not only will find all the scenery they want, the mountain peaks snow-capped, grc=n valleys, canyons and inpenetrable mountain fastnesses, but here there nre game, and lish in abundance. The man of energy tires of de lux accommodations for tourists in Switzerland. He does not tare to bc taken to a mountain-peak hotel to find there every comfort afforded in tho best hotels. If he wants beauty unadorned he should come tr British Columbia, Mr. Mansfield remarked. And a great part of this tourist travel which annually crosses tho continent und thc Atlantic, can be changed to come to British Columbia it being possible, with proper advertising, to bring this change about. Uritish Columbia, Mr. Mansfield says has been exploited purely from its Commercial side. In Switzerland the capitalization of scenery means an annual expenditure of 8160,000,000 in thnt country by tourists, and that money is left there. Mr. Mansfield expresses the opinion that next year will afford a great opportunity for British Columbia to place before the world her wonderful scenery, for thc Panama-Pacific exposition in San Francisco will bring enormous crowds to the Pacific coast, and there ought to be a large number travel via Canada one way or the other. f* >roHTtAM« .enwr.
