Water Carnival and Trades Procession to Be Leading Events. Every year the people of the Kootenays look forward to Nelson .celebration of Dominion Day. Eleven years ago the pioneers of the Queen City of the Kootenays fired off some fire crackers, ran some races and otherwise observed the anniversary of Canada's Confederation as loyal Canadians should do. Ever since that more fire crackers have been fired off and more races run on the annual recurrence of tout day until now it has become to be recognized as the greatest day in the year in Southern British Columbia. It was commenced at a time when there was practically no other place than Nelson, survived a period when there was every other pla'le except Nelson,and now that Nelson is again the most important point in Hritish Columbia outside the Coast citieB tho celebration reaches a magnitude in every may worthy of this most Important and thriving city. All the celebrations have been good but as Nelson has progressed so has the celebration and, as Is fit and properdins year will" eclipse all others in thc matter of observance of Canada's great national holiday. Other small towns ��io celebrating the day but they cannot detract from the importance of Nelson's celebration and thousands of Kootenaians, anxious to enjoy ihe best the land provides, will journey to the Queen City on July ^tst, remain over for the second and see such sports and goings on as they nevoi dreamed of before. The cheap rates of the railway und steamboat lines will be good from Saturday June 2,!th until Wednesday July 3rd. It doesn't make any difference what particular line of sport any individual is interested in���it will be here for hiin to enjoy. There will be the running hop, step and jump, and a fancy dress ball, a horse race and a baby show, a girls' biiycle race and a trades' procession, a regatta and a drilling contest, a hundred yard dash and a water carnival, a football, tase- ball'aud a lacrosse match and a quoit match and everything else, ami���as the Mikado has it���"A grand display of fireworks in the evening." The committee in charge of the celebration is doing its work well and the various sub-committees are equally industrious. A careful canvas haB made the financial success of thc big undertaking assured and special prizes have been received from the leading cities of both Canada and the United States. Tho happy thought of soliciting prizes from firms that enjoy Nelson's patronage has been attended with tangible results that have greatly swelled the fund and the list of prizes until no celebration that has ever taken place in llritiBh Columbia ha�� a better assortment of awards for competing athletes than Nels-on offers this year. From a spectacular standpoint tbe two big attractions will be the water carnivals and the trades'' procession. It is hard to imagine a more beautiful bight than a hundred boats of all sorts aud sizes decorated with s.ores of Chinese lanterns, sail'ng slowly on the surface of the quiet lake, while rockets rush upwards to distribute- their showers of flame, red fire burns brightly to give a tint of rouge to the already highly colored scene, and bands play their gay tunes to complete II judices. the effect and to appeal to every artistic sense of the beholder. As in every other line of the celebration this year's water carnival will be more gorgeous than any that has proceeded it. Two weeks ago every available craft was bespoken and the boatmen say that if they had two dozen more steam launches they would have been rented long ago. Many heads aro now busily occupied designing decorations for launches, row boats and canoes, and the competition for the handsome and valuable prizes will be decidedly keen. The water carnival alone,which takes well repay the time and expense necessary in a visit to the city from any town in the Kootenay. Very lively Interest is being taken in the trades' procession and something over thiity floats will be In it. Of course the contestants lor tbe handsome 8150 trophy will not divulge theii plans of decorating their floats but they have gone into itj earnestly and some decidedly handsome productions will be the result. The unions, too, are taking great interest in the parade and will be out in full force. The athletic games will engage more competitors than ever assembled in one place in thu Kootenays before. Football, baseball and lacrosse teams from outside points will be present and their expenses will be paid by the celebration committee, Thc miners are taking great interest in the drilling contest and horsemen are bringing out some dark horses to go after the purses hung up. The boat races will create a great deal of local interest while the quoit games will attract players from many Koo tenay points. A great deal of work yet remains to be done hut tbe grand success ol this year's celebration is already assured. Hugh Cameron, secretary of the general committee, is working overtime in his department and if there is anything you don't Know about what's going to happen ask him. WILL ENFORCE PROHIBITION BOTH SIDES ARE CONFIDENT Charlottetown Police After Those Disregarding the Law. C. P. R. Strike Is Gradually Several Severe Fires in the East Yesterday���Military Review. CAUCASIAN VS. CHINESE. Bev. Mr. Munroe Discusses the Chinese Question From the Pulpit. The Chinese question is an ever present one and the more it is discuss ed the more distant seems the solution. On Sunday evening last tbe Bev, Mr, Munroe, pastor of the Congregational church discussed the matter from the words, "Let both grow together until the harvest." Beferrlng to the Chinaman as an unfair competitor of working men he claimed that to be consistent the working men ought to throw out the linotype, sewing machine, street cars and self binders if they drove away the Chinaman for that reason. Beplying to the ar- gumenet that they were undesirable because they sent all their money to their own country, he stated tbat it was not exactly true as they paid their taxes whea rounded up by the assessors which was not very different to the white man being rounded up by the sheriff. In' another way, men showed their inconsistency because what they admire as commendable in the frugal German, Irish and Scotch people who sent tbeir money to their friends at home they condemned in the Chinamen. They were accused of such severe economy, a crime unhappily not attributable to British Columbia where there was more extravagance than in any o.her part of tbe world���and it appeared to be.regarded as a sin for the Chinamen to pay their debts and lay up for a rainy day. He contrasted the sobriety of the Mongolians with lhat of the white men in B. C, and the former suffered not by the comparisou. Referring to the atgu- ment that the Chinese joints were pest houses he claimed that every red- curtained, brilliantly lighted habitation of the fallen women were manifoldly more a pest house than all the Chinese joints in the city. He claimed that ai we pro'esscd to be the champions of libeity and brotherhood we were belieing the principles of Democracy by the treatment dealt out to the Mongolian citizens. He claimed for the Chinese that they were cither inferior, equal or superior. If the former, we had no cause to fear, as the flat skull never dominated the high forehead. If the second, there was no Injustice and if the latter we could not afford to treat them shabbily, for their chances of revenge will come some day. There is no gospel in brickbats or race pre- Frank Tamblyn, wbo had his second pair of spectacles stolen from his liquor store thc other day, requests the man who t'jok them to call around and take the case also as he has no use for the article, since the instruments it is supposed to cover are no longer in bis possession. A report came down from the Athabasca mine yesterday, but not officially, that the work on the mine would resume at an early date. No confirmation of the report has been received and it may only be a street place on the Dight of July 1st, will _ rumor. (SPECIALS TO THE MINER.) Charlottetown, June 18.���Since the Provincial prohibition law went into force there has been something like an unprecedented sale of liquor in this oity. The majority of the people in the Provincial bounds are not prohibitionists. There i3 a doubt about the constitutionality of the law and thc City Council decided that officials Bhould take no part in enforcing its enactments. The result was something like a dead lock, which has, hbwever, been broken at last. Under threat of dismissal by the Sti pendiary Magistiate the Chief of Police has agreed to move and summonses will be served on those who have been selling liquor since the 5th instant,when the prohibtion act nominally went into force. Amherst, June 18.���Fire this morn ii g caused 94,000 damage to the Rhodes Curry Co.'s wooo working factory. Lanark, June 18. -The Aberdeen Woollen mills here, owned by VV. C. Caldwell, M. P.

It will be presented to Her Majesty by the Countess of Aberdeen. Winnipeg, June 18.���The Winnipeg rate of taxation will be the biggest on record, 20.50 mills on an assessment of 822,000,000 and a business tax of 20 mills on 84,050,000. The amount to be raised is 8571,000. Ottawa, June 18.���A private letter received in the city from Hon. W. Mulock says that the postmaster general had been very ill on his way to Australia and after arriving there he was suffering from nutritus and was in a private hospital for some weeks, Niagara, June 18,���A general review of the troops in camp here took place this morning before Major General O'Grady-Haley. The weather was perfect and the spectacle presented was a very brilliant one. In all about 4,000 men took part. The minister of militia was on the grounds this afternoon when the review was repeated. Montreal, June 18.���The steamship Lake Superior, which arrived yesterday from Liverpool, had 19 stowaways. They all declared they were tempted to come to Canada by many railway adverlsements, which said there waa work for all who would come. They also said they knew of many 8uch as they who were looking for a chance to stow themselves away so aa to get to Canada. Neil Cochrane, of Rossland,is at the Phalr, and leaves tbis morning for Ymir where he will take charge of a mining contiact on the Big Four abont one mile from the town of Ymir. A contract has recently been let for the sinking cf a shaft on tbe property of which he will be the engineer in charge. The group of claims Is the property of the British Lion Mining Co., Owen Sound, and a large amount of development work is likely to be underway in the near future. . .1 Dr. Bentley of Slocan is in the city and is stopping at tbe Phair. (SPECIALS TO THE MINER.) Montreal, June 18.���The striking trackmen, formerly in the employ of the C, P. R., claim that 400 men joined the ranks of the strikers today. They say that only one man is working between Montreal and Toronto, and that only a few men aie at >vork all through Ontario. In the west, they say, all men are out, as well as in New Brunswick. Tbe total number of men out is estimated by the strikers' committee at 4,000. Tbe management of the C. P. R. on the other hand, say they are having no difficulty in securing men to take the places of the strikers, and that they bave no doubt about the outcome of the strike so far as the company is concerned. About the only devel opment in the strike during the last twenty four hours is the fact that the brldgemen on the North Bay di vision have declined to patrol the track. Piesident Wilson of the Trackmen's Union, has assured thc bridge- men that the Trackmen's Association will stand by-them; The company is doing their best to have the track patrolled for which purpose many clerks from the general offices and workmen | from thc shops have been sent ouW- Montreal, June 18.���Later���There is no change in the C. V. R. trackmen's strike. Gereral Manager MeNicol'l of the C. P. R. claims that they aie gradually returning to woik and the strike is fizzling out. President Wilson of thc traokmen's union on the other hand, claims that the men are solid and will stay out until their demands are met. Wilson leaves in the morning for Toronto, where he will address a meeting tomorrow in the interests of the strikers. Toronto, Jnne 18.,���The reports which the officials of the C. P. R. gave out yesterday as to the progress of the strike are in some instances favorable to tbe company. On the Owen Sound branch, where most of the men had gone out, General Superintendent Tiinnierinaii said last night that quite a number, probably one half, had returned to work and they had promises of more in the morning There are about 800 men employed on that branch. On tbe branch line from Woodstock to St. Thomas all the men, about 20, Timmerman says, are out, but at Chatham, on the main line, there are only two crews tbat bave quit work. Winnipeg, June 18.���Trackmen on the western division went out in sjm- pathy with the strikers, numbering 250, No trackmen are working iu the shop yardi. Special contsables, about 80, were sent out to the Pacliic division. Superintendent Leonard has given the men 48 hours to consider their decision and if at the end of that time they do not teturn their places will be permanently filled. Police Magistrate Dawson - wus busy swearing in special constables today as patrolmen. Vancouver, B.C., June 18.���A report made to your correspondent at Superintendent Marpolc's office this evening was that the men who had struck were giving no troulbe, but their places were being filled constantly by competent men. There should be no delay in traffic and . the public wonld be put to no danger or inconvenience. A number more special policemen had been sent up the line, but this move had no significance and no trouble was anticipated. There are no new developments here in the Trackmen's strike. As yet not a man has gone out on the Kootenay divisions aod there seems no likelihood of any going out. They realize that such an action on tbeir part pleasure. A Long Sitting Yesterday Before Honor Judge Forin. The county court held a long session yesterday. The first matter disposed of was a supreme court chamber summons in Adams vs. Hickey. ThiB was an application to sign judgment summarily on a promissory note for 81,300 with interest since 1 SOU at 12 per cent., on the ground tbat no defence could be shown. Mr. Wheallcr supported the application and Mr. R. W. Hannington opposed it for defendant. The application was dismissed, and the case will have to go to trial as His Honor was of the opinion that the facts disclosed had butter he threshed out in open court. The regular county court list was then taken up. Collins vs. De Nuys���ThiB was an action to recover 825 by an hotelkeeper at Erie for board and lodging. Mr. A. M. Johnson appeared for plaintiff, but the defendant conducted his own case in person and set up the novel defence that the Jebt was incurred for whiskey and not for board. The weight of evidence, however, was against him and jugdment was given for plaintiff. John McLeod vs. Andrew Zedler, Mr. P. E. Wilson for plaintiff, Mr. Jas. O'Shea for defendant���In this case tbe plaintiff claimed for plastering a house by contract. The defendant contended that he never gave a contract for the work but hired the plaintiff by the day. In tbis case there was such a direct conflict in the evidence of the parties that Judge Forin directed that additional witnesses should be called before giving his decision. Zattoni vs. Western Canada Accident Association, Mr. It. M, Macdonald for plaintiff, Mr. Hannington for defendant- -This was an action to recover 850 for injuries sustained while a policy was alleged to be in ( force. Some irregulaiities in the service of the writ and pleadings having been set up, the matter was adjourned to the next court for trial. Radcliff vs. Provost, Mr. H. R. Jor and of Slocan for plaintiff, antl Mr. A. M. Johnson for defendant���This was an action to recover 850 for wages in doing development work on the black Hussar group. The defendant contended that he never hired plaintiff to work for him at all and that the work he did cn the claim was merely to assist his brother in doing assessment, work. The evidence was flatly c.ntiadic- tory but as the preponderance was on tbe side of the plaintiff, judgment was given in bis favor. Urquhart vs. New North Folk Mining Co.. Mr. Hannington for plaintiff, Mr. A. M. Johnson for defendant��� The plaintiff sued the defendant company for 8107 for wages for sharpening tools, etc , at the defendant's mine near Erie. The defence set up was in the nature of a set off, the plaintiff being a shareholder in tbe company and being in arrears for assessments on his shares. After hearing the evidence of all parties the court gave judgment for plaintiff for the major portion of bis claim, but allowed the set-off which would leave only a small balance in his fa nn: The court sat till 0 p. m. then adjourned to 10.30 today when it will probably be able to finish the remainder of the lint.

The fare for the ti ip will be 50 cents. A week from tomorrow thc retail Clerka' Association will run an excursion up the lake. They will have a band on board to add to the (SPECIALS TO THE MINER.) Vancouver, B. C, June 18.���There Is every indication of trouble again on the Fraser this ye:ir. Two thousand Japs are at Stcveston getting ready to fish on the 1st of July but not a white fisherman or an Indian is in sight. The difference in the pi ice of fish between the fishermen and canneis is but 2}i cents but neither will give in. A strike is in- evitable with possible trouble. Ottawa, June 18.���The Dominion Government received a telegram today from the British Columbia Government making an offer of a settlement of the difficulty over the flsheiies. Attorncy-Geneial Eberts wired that the Biitisb Columbia Government were willing to leave the question of sea coast fisheries for the present in abeyance. In regard to Provincial fisheiieson Fraser, Seena, Nans and other rivers, it was suggested to allow the Dominion Government to go on collecting license fees the same as present, on the understanding that the matter would be left to aibitra- tio_ and that the Dominion would refund to the Province the amount of such money which might be held to belong to the Province. The Provincial Government also agreed to amend another portion of the Provincial act, passed last session, which may be shown to intringe on Provincial lights. A reply was sent this afternoon from the Dominion Government to the effect that this arrangement womd be satisfactory for the present. Victoria, B. C, June 18.- G. (). S. Lindsey, K. 0.,, solicitor for the Crow's Nest Southern railway, and Auditor Wilsley of the Crow's Nest Coal Co., lue here Elias Rogers managing director will be here tonight. Mr. Lindsey says the surveys arc being made and that construction will be commenced almost immediately, They hope to have the 150 miles from Michel to Jennings on the U. S, side completed this fall. Tne road is bing built under a Provincial charter. Colonel Hayes today gave a diBtinet denial to the report sent out from Vancouver that his mine on tho west coast had been sold to Macenzie at Mann for 8000,000. lie says he will start shipping in October as soon as the new compressor plant is installed. The steamer Amur, on arrival this morning, went out of commission and was tied up. I HAWKINS WON, Even- Glove Contest in Rossland Last ing Lasted 15' Hounds. (SPECIAL TO THE MINER.) Rossland, June 18,���A large number of spectators were present this evening to witness the glove contest between the two lightweights, Dal Hawkins, who has a continental reputation, and Billy Armstrong, well known in this country. Il was to bo a twenty round go but Hawkins proved loo lively for his opponent and won in Ihe l5lh round. It was a very lively bout and the men did a great deal of pretty work and were loudly cheered. Betting waa all in favor of Hawkins and considerable money was wagered that Armstrong would not last ten rounds. There was a meoting of the Nelson football club at the Hume hotel last evening to consider the matter of playing at Slocan City next week. After some discussion it was finally decided that the local team would not enter in the tournament. Tho question of inviting outside teams to play iu Nelson on Dominion Day was also discussed and it was unanimously agreed that thc secretary bo instructed to communicate with the Kaslo Football club and invito them to come to thc city on that day. .

KTI-'ION. A Government print, defending its masters for their Baer I floe of public interests in dealing with railway matters, says "any one with sufficient capital to build an independent and OOmpetitltve railway from the Coast to Kootenay can start the work at once. . . . The country through winch the road would run is liot fenced in.'' This is childish treatment of a very grave subject, it is true, but we have seen little if anything better to excuse the Government's course. The road would be alio miles long, and would cost about 830.- 000 a mile. Any one, first taking the precaution to procure a charter, having (10,000,000 in his pockets, can go on and build it; the country is not fenced in. It is not brilliant, either as a discovery or as a bald statement !\\o me ever contemplated tbat the road would be built withont public aid. The British Columbia Legislature realised this as long ago as li'jl, when it adopted _ policy of general railway development in which aid to this very road was indicated in express words. The policy was re- itciated and re-endorsed in the session of 1S08, when the Province was pledged to a subsidy of 84.000 a mile, and practical effect was gWen to it by the making of a contract with Mackenzie a. Mann. This contract recognised that Dominion aid as well as Provincial aid was necessary to its successful construction, as the Government piovided in the written security taken for the building of the road that the contractors should not be compelled to proceed with the work until Dominion aid was obtained. We therefore sec it was never contemplated that any person, or any company should furnish out of their own pockets every dollar of the money required for the construction of a Coast-Kootenay railway. It was an enterprise requiring and demanding public aid, and that aid stands pledged on the faith of more than one Legislature since 1897. The story of the repudiation of the Turner Government's contract with Mackenzie A Mann by the Semlin Government, at the Instigation of the professional repudiator. Mr. Joseph Martin, is comparatively fresh in the public mind. Last year, when the Dunsmuir Government came in, the country was promised a vigorous railway policy, one that embraced this Coast-Kootenay road. The V. V. and E. charter in the meantime had gone into the control of the Cleat Northern and Mackenzie at Mann, and .the country looked hopefully to an independent and competitive railway. It was only under such powerful influences that an independent road could be assured. The Greut Northern and Mackenzie ~: Mann weie prepared to build it, but when time came for action Mr. Dunsniuii' balked. People wondered, no: being ~ble to understand what-it meant, The meaning disclosed itself In time, however. Mr. Dunsmuir had thrown himself into tho arms of the Canadian Pacific Company, and when it became necessary to declare tbe terms of a contract it was seen that they were designed to shut out the Greut Northern; the conditions were purposely framed to render their acceptance impossible. Hard as the terms were, however, the Great Northern accepted them with the alight modi illations thc Legislature wus shamed iuto making, witli the singlo exception of a provision which, if embodied in the agreement, would have forced the contracting company into the position of disregarding the statutory law and of abandoning all claim to a Dominion subsidy. -Mr. Dunsmuir and his colleagues adhered to this provision, knowing that nothing less could save the Canadian Pacific from competition, and the contract of course was not made. The intcnti.n is to throw the Coast- Hudson's Bay Company. KooteDay road to the Canadian Pacific. There is to be no independent, competitive railway from the interior to the Coast. The nature of the country and tbe general conditions make it reasonably certain that there wi!' never be a third trunk line, and the course of th6 Government, therefoie is calculated and doubtless designed to put the whole of Southern British Columbia absolutely at the mercy of the Canadian Pacific That is the policy of the "business men's Govern- ment" that is now in power at Victoria. A Royal Commission appointed to inquire into railway conditions in South Africa have reported that "it is injurious that all the trunk railway lines should be in the monopoly of one company." In British Columbia it is thought to be beneficial��� at least to tbe monopoly company and thc politicians, and especially to the starving rats of private members who went up to make all they could out of their votes. UMBRELLAS _AND_ There are newspapers in Ontario tbat know more of the intentions of the Ross Government than The Toronto Mail; but Tbe Mail is as likely as any to pick up current political gossip, and it says tbat a reconstruction of the Cabinet is freely spoken of. This, as far as it goes, tende to confirm the significance which The Miner read into the announcement that Mr. Samuel Casey Wood is about to return to political life. Tbe success of the Dominion Opposition in Ontario last November bas evidently produced a feeling of alarm inside the fortifications at Toronto, which the Provincial Liberals have held continuously for twenty-eight years. Mr. Arthur Chamberlain, in a recent address, said American competition was a bogey of politicians and journalists; what British manufacturers had most to fear were the worries of modern legislation. "They were inspected to death, and hampered at every step." The wise men at Victoria who take into their Hands the fortunes of the mining industry of tbe Province might do worse than consider this. If blessed with only a one-eyed power of observation, they may be able to discern tbat mine owners and operators in British Columbia are being inspected to death and hampered at every step. Very often a good working policy is to leave things alone. SEVEN YEARS IN BED. "Will wonders ever cease?" inquire the friends of Mrs. L. Pease, of Lawrence, Kan.

Gathering of the Clergy of the Kootenays at Nelson. The Diocesan Synod of the Episcopal church Wiih npenod last evening by a missionary meeting at St. Saviour's Sunday School. All the clergy who have yet arrived to attend the synod were present and a few of the lay members. The meeting wua opened by a prayer and hymn, followed by nn address by llisliop Dart, of New Westminster, lie dealt in an earnest manner of the work of the Society for the I-opngiitloi: of the Uospel in the 200 years of its existence, and narrated it numbei of interesting incidents of the missionary tield. He also stated that despite the fact that the demands upon the finances of the Boolcty had been gieatly increased during the past twelve months by the eomse of events in Soutli Afiica and China, yet the society had decided to give an indented grant, to Kootenay for the next 'three years. Rev. Mr. Robins, of Greenwood, was then called upon. He delivered an Interesting address dealing principally with the work of the Junior Clergy's Missionary Society, a brunch of tbo paient society, wliich had done great work in arousing enthusiasm in missionary effort among the junior elegymen. Archdeacon I'entreath, one of the best known clergymen iu liritisli Columbiu, and particularly in the Kootenays, then lucidly explained in a few words what some of the things that the Society for the |l'ropogatiun of the (lospel was doing at tho present time. There were 770 missionaries supported by it throughout the world, and of these Canada had l'ID. In the schools of the society in Asia and Africa M,Olio children at the present time were receiving a Christian education. In BritishjiColuinbia tne sc ��� uiety hud been most liberal in its aid, and despite as the bishop had said, tbe greatly increased demands upon it,, had yet added to its yearly grant the sum of ��110 for the Kootenay, Archdeacon 1'entreuth spoke highly of the parish of Cranbrook, .which, although it had only hud a resident clergyman appointed last April, had already become self-supporting. He also mentioned aeveral other parishes aud the good wor1* they had done towards attaining the same end. Another favorable feature in church ���work in the Kootenays was the fact tha*. during the past year nearly every parish in the diocese had contributed towards the funds of the society. llisliop Dart then touched on what the 300 years effort nf the S. P. G. had done to better tho condition of the world, and how the Christian religion wns so different from any other system of religion in that not satisfied with enjoving its blessing alone, Its adherents tried, and were, spreading it to the uttermost parts of the earth. After another prayer and hymn the meeting then dispersed with the Benediction. |ll��fore the members dispersed Rev. II. S. Akehurst announced that through the courtesy of the officers of tho Nelson Club the privileges had been extended to all the clergy during the sitting of the Synod. A meeting of the Sunday School committee of the Diocese was held ut the close of the Missionary gathering. Today there will be a celebration of the Holy Communion ut 0.15 a. m., when all the clergy and lay delegates attending the synud arc expected to be present. At 10 o'clock the members of the Synod will attend for organization and business. There will be an afternoon session, and a choral evensong Service at 8 p. m., with special sermon by Rev. J. H.

The nautral productiveness of the land in the immediate neighborhood of the city has been again and again demonstrated and the above statement will veiify the fact that this part of the Kootenays is not all barren rock and dead sea water. The meeting of the Imperial Development Syndicate which was expected to take place this week has been postponed until the 4th of July when it is expected that important business will come up for consideration The company are about lo dispose ot their property to a wealthy company who have made them an offer.

IT COULD NOT WOO. A Goddess That Would Not Be Won. The Creator, in making so many kinds of people naturally made some that have immense ambition and desire for work, physical and mental. Authors, writers and brain-workers are generally hard working poeple, frequently they exhaust vitality so fast that they cannot rebuild. Food experts have perfected a special food called Grape-Nuts for brain workers. The makers selected from field grains the proper elements which naturally enter into rebuilding brain and nerve cent.rs. A famous woman of West Baven, Conn., whom perhaps you will rec ogoize because of the location, but who requests that her name be kept from print in this connection writes: Perhaps you would like to know of my expjrience with the restoring power of your wonderful Grape-Nuts Food. 1 bave been a tireless worker. Life was full of possibilities. I had a constitution of iron and why not work'.' I lived to the fullest limit of my power, following every pursuit with ardor, painting, poetry, writing of books, journalism and lecturing. The days wre passed iu literary work and the nights at concerts, theaters and receptions. I suddenly dropped out, a mental and physical wreck. Ambition died and hope went with it. Religion became odious. The world grew dark. It became a 'Charnel House full of unclean bones, not Godlike and our Father's.' I bad no desire for food. I could not woo the 'Goddess .Sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care.' I contemplated a weak solution, a leap into the Unknown, when one day a friend in Vale who knew my deplorable condition said. 'Do you know, that Grape-Nuts Food has done a great deal for me,' and told the details. I finally followed his suggestion and began using it. That was one year ago. I wish you could see me now. The neighbors say I do the work of ten women. I go to bed with the hens and sleep like a top. I hear 'the breeze call of incense breathing more,' my muscles are like Iron, and my baCk of steel. 1 am as alert as tbe sparrow witli whom 1 converse e~ery morning us he seeks his matitutiii.il worm. I ascribe all of this change, and justly, to Grape Nuts Food and wisdom in the economy of force." Theru Is a good sound reason for such a change as described above. Grapo-Nuts Food is made of the selected elements of wheat and bailey that aro intended by Nature to le- build the soft gray matter in the brain and nerve cells throughout the body. This food is so prepared that it presents these elements in perfect condition for immediate assimilation. The food is thoroughly cooked ut the factory, and should always be served just as it comes from Iho package with a little cream. Do not attempt to stew it but seive it without cooking except when combined with certain puddings and desserts, and oven then the cooking is not necessary, except to prepare other ingredients aside from tlie Qiape-Nuts, Send a one cent stamp to the Postum Cereal Co.,- Ltd., llattle Creek, Mich., for a free receipt book. I THE CITY 9Aty0*0Ar*f)Ao\\^0o%0AAAAAAAw>M A new side walk is being laid cn Latimer street. A carload of ri .���_ billed to the local Chinese merchants arrived in Nelson yesterday. The line men are stringing the telephone lines on the new poles along Josephine street. Very few prospectors are left in town, tbe fine weather causing them to depart in every direction for the bills. A gang of men are busily at work putting a sewer on the lower end of llaker street and the cast end of Vernon street. The water nf the lake is still slowly fulling, but will probably begin to show the effect of the present warm weather by tonight. Teams were engaged yesterday hauling away the driftwood accumulated on the C. P. R. tracks by Cottcnwood Creek during the recent freshet. Tom Doyle has rented the Home Teraferance hotel and will run it as a boarding bouse. He entered into possession of the premises yesterday. The City lawns and flower beds are showing the effects of Ibe improvement in the weather. June is mw very agreeably making us acquainted with its better half. The proprietor of the shooting gallery containing moving animals, birds, etc., next to Patenaude's store, was packing up his outfit yesterday preparatory to moving. Fishing is steadily improving in the lake and since Saturday there have been an average of about fifty fishermen daily trying their luck between Nelson and the bridge. Although there has only been four days of warm weather people are already grumbling about the heat. What these same individuals will do when they leave this world for their next home it is hard to say. Mr. Geo. H. Herron, who is stopping at the Hume at present, arrived Monday from the Hazel May group near Crawford Bay. It is a copper- gold property and the results so far have been most promising. A force of four men have been at work on it for the last two months and have several tons of choice ore ready for shipment. The Nelson Hardware Co. have cn hand an interesting and valuable article for the disciples of Issac Walton in the form of a new and attractive bait for fishing. It is in tbe form of perserved minnows which arc securely preserved in brine and sold in glass jars. They are said to be one of the most valuable baits in use for trout fishing.

It is understood that this company now own 7,680 acres of coal land in the Similkameen Valley, ��� on which development work is to be commenced in the near future to determine the quality of the coal with deptb. One of the lady denizens of the red parlors was arrested the other even ing for tbe too liberal and eloquent use uf quotations of unclassical literature, which are not to be found in the Bible or the standard authors. Yesterday she was made to appear before the Police Magistrate to give an account of her conduct. Dnring the nigbt her eloquence appeared to have evaporated for when given an opportunity to defend her conduct sho was speechless. Consequently she was fined 810 and costs which were promptly paid.

Mr. Joseph Jackson, who has been in the eity for some time in connection with the locating of a flour mill here, receivwd a letter yesterday from Mr. B. Friel of Regina, for whom he is acting.statmg that th3 lat.er would be in Nelson abont the end of the month. Mr. Jackson said tbat he was fully satisfied with the site, if all arrangements could be made satisfactorily, and believed that Nelson was admirably situated for a mill of the nature it was intended to put up. In the course of a conversation he stated that at present only the cheaper grades cf flour could he handled here, as owing to freight rates it did not pay to handle any others, in competition with the cheap American Hours. With, a mill-here, Nelsou and Kootenay firms wonld be able to handle .lour made from the best Manitoba hard wheat, at the same prices as now charged for a greatly inferior product. He said that at present wheat, from Regina was shipped east to Hat l'ortiige for milling and then shipped here from the mill at a cost of 55 cents p��r hundred weight. With wheat shipped direct here at the same cost that it would take to send J it to the mill in the east, that 55 cents per hundred would he saved. As to the cost of milling here it would be less than in Regina, as there was! cheaper fuel, water power instead of! steam, a first class local market and excellent shipping facilities. When asked if he thought there would be sufficient water for power at the site mentioned he said that there was ample, that the waste water from the electric light flume alone would be enough. If there was a shortage in tbe water at any time with electric, power hut a stone's throw away it would be an easy matter to connect. Mr. Friel. the principal in the business, is a practical millwright of 35 yeais experience, and has thoroughly investigated the" prospects here, and feels fully satisfied tbat a large aud profitable business can quickly be worked up in flour.

Why we are enabled to manufacture Tailor- made garments ready-to-wear. Because we have the Experience 1 The Proprietors ofthe "Royal Brand" have been engaged !n the development of tailor-made garments for many years and only after perfection had been attained were the public given an opportunity to purchase this clothing. Because we have the Foreman and Designer I Who must necessarily possess experience and taste. Needless to say the head of this department in the manufacture of "Royal Brand" clothing possesses both. Because we have the Makers 1 Those engaged in putting together "Royal Brand" clothing are master hands. Much depends on the making and ordinary tailoring would not hold its shapliness nor give the wear which is demanded from these garments. .
