St. Petersburg, Dec. 20.—The consul of a continental power who has arrived here from Riga on a train heavily guarded by troops, says that throughout the district extending 130 miles on this 'Side of Riga, the land has been laid waste and all the buildings belonging ito the landlords have been burned to the ground. The situation in Courland, he says, is even worse. At Riga the garrison Is too small to attempt to wrest the power from the hands of the workmen who have organized a police force and are administering the affairs of the city, and have sent a deputation to governor Reginsk notifying him that he has been deposed. The city is terror- stricken but comparatively quiet. The workmen's militia is successfully preventing pillage, -showing no mercy to rowdies, several of whom have been shot or hanged.

WIDE ENQUIRIES AFFECTING THE PROSPECTS OF NELSON There was a fair attendance at the board of trade meeting of last evening and some matters of importance to Nelson were discussed, prominent among which was the question of advertising the city In a proper manner. Invita-' lions were received from the Lonuon Chamber of Commerce and from the Montreal board of trade to join in an imperial congress of chambers of commerce, which is to be convened In Lonuon next July and iu a dominion conference of boards of trade of Canada the lirst held since 1002, which is proposed for next spring. Among those present were: J. M. Lay, president; S. M. Brydges. secretary; James Johnstone. Leslie Hill, T. G, Procter. Dr. Morrison. E. B. MeDermid J. A. Dewar, A. Lane, I, G. Nelson, F. Starkey. le Baron de Vebre. W. 'P. Tierney, F. J. Deaue, J. E. Annable and Bruce White. James Johnstone, as one of the special committee appointed to look after the Great Northern service south, reported that no actiou had been taken as the service had been amended. From personal observation he thought the new seryice very good Indeed nnd quite up to the mark which Nelson ought to expect. A communication was read from agent general Turner In London asking for a larger number of pamphlets treating on British Columbia and its fruit growing capabilities, A letter from the London chamber of commerce advised the coming congress of chambers of commerce of the empire on July S, 1900, and asking that the Nelson board of trade be represented. The following schedule of subjects to be discussed was Included, reading as follows: 1, Commercial relations be tween the mother country and her colonies and dependencies. 2. Defences of the empire. 3. Intercolonial trade relations. 4. Appointment of an Imperial council to consider questions of imperial interest. 5. Foreign and colonial bounties and subsidies. 6.

Supply of government publications to chambers of commerce and mutual interchange of documents. 18. Imperial penny postage. 19. Representation of United Kingdom in colonies and In other parts of the empire for the promotion of mutual trade. 20. Coprlght. 21. Municipal trading. 22. Merchandise marks. A resolution was passed to reply saying that Nelson would be represented at the congress, if possible. A letter from the Montreal board of trade said that a conference of all dominion boards of trade was proposed for the spring of next year and asked for the co-operation of Nelson. A resolution was put to the same effect as that relating to the larger conference, and carried. A letter was read from the St. John board of trade forwarding an article on the best winter port of Canada—being St. John. A communication was read from the promoters of a projected "Commercial Handbook of Canada." This proposed giving statistical information gratis In the projected publication. Certain rates were to be charged for advertising. The secretary was Instructed to hand the communication over to the city clerk for action. President Lay here stated that the board generally was in ■some arrears on account of the advertising of the city done last summer. After some discussion a resolution was passed assessing the individual members of the board of trade sufficient to liquidate the indebtedness. Next tlio question of systematic advertising was taken up . James Johnstone said that he had written a letter to the Field In answer to numerous enquiries. He had there Btatod that the country was good but that no man need come 'here unless he had a capital of $5000. That letter was published on December 2. Since that date his postofflce box had been chock full of letters. He therefore urged that instant action be taken, as the best season for coming here was in the spring. This might he done by conjoining the secretaries of tho boards of trade and tourist associations. T. G. Procter said he had stacks of letters from all parts of the world and this on account of tho work or the Tourist association. There might be an association of interests between the two organizations as far as advertising was concerned. A sum might be raised by the merchants but the city council should also support since all were benefitted. I. G. Nelson and S. M. Brydges also spoke of numerous letters received. F. J. Deane said the way to advertise was to write descriptive articles which had a news value. Statistical matter was not worth much. Newspapers would always publish well written stuff. The man to get was a man who could write, who knew this country and who understood the old country. If such a man were helped by cuts lie would gain access to numbers of papers. Leslie Hill agreed with Mr. Deane. Old country papers would accept newsy articles. But they must have some literary value. Fred Starkey thought a committee should be appointed to investigate the matter. He thought a fund of $2000 might be raised. President Lay appointed as a commltteo to report at the next meeting of the iboard of trade. Messrs. James Johnstone. T. G. Procter, Fred Starkey. F. J. Deane and E. D. MeDermid. F. J. Deane raised a question as to whether there wore any matters to be brought before the Associated Boards of Trade by the Nolson hoard. The associated boards might meet before another meeting of the Nelson board. The secretary was directed to ascertain the date of the convening of the associated boards. BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT Czar's Government States Strikers are Without Funds or Sympathy Reds Declare That Government Does Not Realize Magnitude of the Danger-Army is Involved in the Movement St. Petersburg. Dec. 20.—The proclamation of a general strike for tomorrow at noon has created the most intense excitement. If it can be successfully Inaugurated and maintained, the revolutionaries are confident that it will break the government's back. In government circles, however, confidence is expressed that Llie proletariat organizations cannot effect a complete tie-up and that the strike must be of short duration. This hope seems to be based on the theory that the extreme program of the "reds" has alienated the sympathy of a largo proportion of the real workingmen and also upon what they claim to he tho absolute knowledge that the organizations are without funds. The government calculations, however, have proven (before to be at variance with the true situation, and the strikes declare that the government Is again hopelessly ignorant of the magnitude of the struggle confronting it. Their plans are exceedingly ambitiou-s. From the nature of the appeals of the leaders to the troops It is evident that they expect to precipitate a crisis in the army. The central committee of the railroad men of Moscow determined the issue last night by voting in favor of a strike. It was telegraphed over the railroad linos that the employees of 22 roads are ready to stop all traffic. The decision is to close everything in the empire, railroads, tuanufaot uries, wholesale and retail stores and all government works, except the water works. Tbe bakeries in the cities, however, will not be closed so long as they do not raise their prices. If thoy do raise the price of bread, even the bakeries will be closed. It was proposed In Moscow to exempt the electric light plants, but this was defeated. Although the blow is timed for tomorrow noon, tho strike leaders do not hope to bring the life of the empire to a standstill by a -single stroke, but they will labo for a gradual extension of tho strike movement The inhabitants are hurriedly laying In supplies of food to stand a siege. Moscow. Doc. 20.—The strike was inaugurated hero promptly at noou. All the men walked out of tlio factories and the mills, and tlio trains of the six railroads were left standing lu the stations. Shortly afterwards an incoming train on the Kursk road was fired into by armed strikers. The engineer and several of the passengers woro wounded. The strikers generally seem to be provided with arms. There is groat excitement in the city. Warsaw. Dec. 20.—Employees of the flre department struck today. The Polish national party bas ordered thc shopkeepers to remove their Russian signs in order to Polonlze the city. and another entered her leg. McCoy then put a bullet in his own brain and fell dead. The couple were married two years ago last March. The woman had refused to live with her husband from the day they were wedded, for a reason which she never communicated to any one. McCoy flred five shots including tho one he sent into bis own head, but the lodging place of the flrst two bullets could not be found. NfcWfOlNBLAND WATERS AMERICAN SHIPOWNERS ARE COMPLAINING BITTERLY. DOUBTFUL POINTS IN THE PROCEDURE OF THE COLONY. Washington. Dec. 20.—Tho state department, una received some oittor complaints irom American owners of ush- ing vessels against tue iNowiouudtaud oiiiciais tor (interfering witn what tney regard as their treaty rights within tha Newfoundland territory waters. Only a few days since an American hshiug ■amuck was seized at a Newtouuulaud port because several months ago sue nad it was alleged, shipped some Newfoundlanders trom the Bay ot islands. The American shipowners say that this was au infraction on their right to piy their vocation in these waters as guarded by treaty. The stale department has been exchanging notes on the suuject with the British government. The department had not been able lo make a direct issue with the Newfoundlanders in respect to their right to make it a punishable offence to ship Newfoundlanders within their own waters, lt is not quite clear, however, whether, while admitting tbe right of the Newfoundland authorities to punish their own people who ship on American vessels in violation of local law. it is prepared to concede the amenability to Newfoundland laws of American shippers who ship such men.

The Canadian Gazette sets them out as follows: First—The abolition of the all round rate of preference and substitution for it of a fixed preference in each class of British goods, ranging from 10 to 75 per cent off the general list, thus giving an opportunity for all reasonable safeguards to Canadian manufacturers. , Seond— Duties for revenue only on many lines of British iiiuniufacturo* which have been developed in Canada. Third—A re-arrangement of the free list so as to give new advantages to British exports, especially encouraging Canadians to import raw material, or partly finished, from Great Britain rather than finished articles. Fourth—Stricter enforcement of the provision calling for 25 per cent of British labor in all goods securing British preference, so as to meet the ifraud whereby German and other foreign goods now enter Canada on preferential terms. Fifth—Amendment of the Canadian anti-dumping law so as to make it more difficult for manufacturers to dump their surplus in Canada to the detriment, of Canadian and British manufacturers. It is assumed that the foregoing will bo made conditional upon new measures of British reciprocity. GOSSIP OP GRAND DORKS (Special to Tint Dally Ne - '- Dec^O-HIs he /si Alexandrov, Poland.

It is believed that the situation, while not satisfactory, can be controlled by the warships already there. The only danger is that disaffection may spread to the interior. It Is thought that it will not be necessary to send troops as the Chinese government is taking every precaution to prevent an uprising.

The work of the board of trade and the tourist association, during the past year, carried on under somewhat difficult circumstances owing to lack of funds, proved tho direct valuo of well -planned publicity. Tho ■comparatively littlo advertising these organizations were able to contract for produced results that opened the eyes of those who had to attend to the correspondence resulting thereform. The work done during the past year was very creditable considering the circumstances, but if Nelson and Nelson district are to keep in the race, if the most desirable class of settlers is to be drawn in this direction, there will be need of more comprehensive and persistent efforts In the new year. "Work of this nature cannot be properly cairried on without thc expenditure of large sums of money. This is a fact that must be taken to heart by everyone who wants to see settlers attracted to our fruit lands, new industries -estab lished in our city and a larger flow of capital for Investment in our mines. The right kind of publicity will secure results that will amply repay a very large expenditure. That has been the verdict everywhere else where money has been expended for the purpose of making known to the world the advantages of a locality. Nelson and Nelson district wiil prove no exception to the rule. This Bubject was carefully gone into at last evening's hoard of trade meeting. Messrs. Johnstone. Brydges. Procter, Starkey and others told of what had been done and of tho measure of success that had attended tiieir efforts. As previously stated, much of tlie work was dono voluntarily and the efforts voluntarily put forth were restricted by the lacks of funds to put into effect plans conceived for the systematic advertising of the resources, attractions, and opportunities of this city and district. In the light of past achievements, and in the knowledge of what is being done by other cities and districts, those Nelson business men who have given so freely of their time to keep Nelson and Nelson district to the front, expressed the opinion that with generous financial support a campaign of publicity can be inaugurated that in the space of a few years will make a marvellous change in the commercial and Industrial life of this city and In the settlement of tho lands of southern Kootenay.

To arrange for preliminaries a committee was appointed. This committee will prepare a report for submission to the board at its next regular meeting, which report will deal with the question ol finance, nature and scope of the work to be immediately undertaken, and, If possible, recommend a suitable person to take hold. It is quite likely that a public meeting of citizens will he called at an early date to discuss this subject, when facts In support of the contention that publicity pays will be adduced and an appeal made for generous support. In Calgary a great deal of money is being spent by the citizens in work of this nature. Most of the larger towns of this province. Manitoba, and over in the state of Washington have their publicity clubs. Nelson must get Into line with the determination to occupy a front place in the procession. Nelson has the goods to hnck up its advertising, and advertising backed by tlie goods Invariably pays handsomely. Whilst tlie committee appointed for the purpose are preparing their report, business men. property owners and others, resident and non-resident, who sympathize with this movement, and who are not already members ol* tbe board of trade, should notify secretary Brydges at once of their desire to share in the work of the board, send in the membership fee of $10, and intimate the sum they would be prepared to subscribe towards the publicity campaign.

RAND'S REQUIREMENTS DISCUSSED BY ROBERT HAMMOND A scheme has beeu originated for utilizing the Victoria Falls, on the Zambesi river, to supply electricity to the Rand mines. In hia paper on "Electric Power for the Rand," read before tbe British Association Mr. Robert Hammond was rather inclined to the view that the costly works would not permit of electrical energy from the Falls being supplied at a lower rate than the present motive power. Somo grounds have since been adduced by the promoters of the project to show tbat this opinion is erroneous; but, apart from this particular piece of criticism, Mr. Hammond's paper is a valuable contribution to the subject of electrical power for Lhe Rand, whether generated at a central station near Johannesburg or at the Victoria Falls. The points raised were; Firstly, whether the working of the mines could not be cheapened by the greatly extended application of electric power; and, secondly, whether such electric power could be more economically produced by each mine or group of mines laying down its plant or by means of centralisation of generation in works serving a number of mines. It appears that there are already In use in tlie Rand mines electric motors of a total capacity of about 20,000 h.p., and the number is being rapidly augmented. Electric energy is at present used for underground and surface pumping, for workshop driving, and in the cyanide works, for pumping the water, the solution, and tbe slimes. Mr. Hammond not only advocates the adoption of electric winding, but believes that almost every operation at present performed by steam power could more economically be effected by electricity from a central station. Working conditions on the Rand mines are very favorable to the use of electricity. Having agreed tbat the mines could he run more cheaply by an extended use of electrical energy, Mr. Hammond proceeds to consider whether ono central station for all, or separate works for groups, is the better plan. A conservative estimate of the Rand's requirements Is 400,000,000 h.p. hours or, say, 300.000.000 unils (kilowatt hours) per annum. I^oad and diversity factors are very favorable to tho centra] power bouse plan. On the basis of a consumption of 900.000,000 units per annum ami a forty per cent load factor the sum of the consumers' maximum demands would be 82,200 kilowatts. On tiio assumption of a diversity factor of 60 per cent, and a twenty per cent loss In distribution and transformation, a plant capacity at the generating works of 60,000 kilowatts would be required. Mr. Hammond therefore thinks that provision should be made for seven generating sets, each of the capacity of 10,000 kilowatts, each set to be capable of sustaining an emergency overload of 20 per cent.

Branch office Nelson. distribution, the primary voltage should be 6,000 volts—the mines within a red- jus of nino miles of the central station being supplied at that voltage. For the more distant consumers step-up transformers would be used and energy transmitted at 30,000 volts to transforming substations. Two such sub-stations would bo required, one on the East Rand and one on the West Rand. The energy would be transformed down to 0,000 volts, and distributed to consumers at that pressure. For the purpose of the estimate a power factor of 85 per cent is assumed, hare copper overhead wires being used throughout, carried on steel structures. Tho loss in transmission which has been -worked to throughout is about 7 per cent. The 30,000 volt feeders to the cast, and west sub-stations are each arranged so as to be 50 per cent in excess of requirements, so as to provide for reserve. The 6,600 volt lines radiating out to consumers are able to transmit the energy with a seven per cent loss over Ave miles, If load Is taken off at one end, or a course of 10 miles If tapped off evenly all the way, Assuming that the demand from mines on the eaat of Johannesburg, would, roughly, be double that from the west side, the ideal position for the power-house is about ' eight miles to the east of Johannesburg; 'but If it were found necessary to go to Vereeniging, 35 miles from Johannesburg, the energy would be transformed up to 70,000 volts. The whole 50,000 kilowatts would he transmitter to a central point in Johannesburg, by means of three sets of transmission lines, each | consisting of three cables. Six of these [ cables would be sufficient to transmit I the whole 50,000 kilowatts, with a/loss ■ of only 6.7 per cent. The other three ; cables are therefore available as spares. If Vereeniging is chosen as the site, I Mr. Hammond thinks the supply will ; probably -be given at 0.6d. per unit. j The question would then resolve itself 1 Into a purely commercial one, and the mine-owners would have to decide i whether it will pay them 'better to I draw their supplies from a central sta- . tlon. or to combine to use their own electric Installations. There Ib little doubt, in Mr. Hammond's view, that those who are at present only using steam power wuld find an economy in adopting electrical power.

NELSON COKE & GAS OOMPANY BRAVERY OF CONVICTS RESCUE FEMALE PRISONER PROM BURNING WARDS OUTBREAK OF FIRE UPON BLACKWELL'S ISLAND. New York. Dec. 20,—The prisoners forgot that they were convicts and remembered only that they were men on Blackwell's island early this morning, when the male prisoners, marshalled by their keepers into a fire fighting and life saving corps, bore from the flaming floors of the women's wards five hundred and ninety-four frantic women and from the hospital beds fifty more. Starting in the sewing room of the workhouse, and from a cause which has not been definitely decided, the fire ihad reached a fierce blaze at 2 o'clock when it was discovered. The flre engine on the island proved inadequate and a call for help was sent to the city department. Seven engines were sent over but were not sufficient to save the women's workhouse from destruction. On the top floor of this building wero cells for the women and every one had one or two prisoners when tho flre occurred, These women became frantic with fright and were soon choking with the dense smoke that filled all the halls, and their cells. That most of them did not perish is due to Uie recent instalatlon of a system by which in emergency every cell In a tier can be opened simultaneously, when the extent and danger of the blaze became apparent the warden marshalled hia regular fighting force of employees, aud soon they were at work. The flames spread so fast, however, that this force proved hopelessly inadequate. Then it was decided to trust the male members' sense of manhood and they bore tho tost well. Released from their cells and marshalled into small bodies they entered the burning building und went at the work ol! flre fighting and rescue with utter disregard to the danger to themselves. Tho flames were crackling all about them and they plunged through tho dense smoke, when they brought out In their arms tho last of the women prisoners. SHANGHAI QUIETS DOWN Difficulty as to the Mixed Tribunal Still Existing. Shanghai. Dec. 20.—All is quiet in the city today.

The United States gunboat Villal- lobos, has arrived to reinforce the Baltimore and the British cruiser Andromeda is expected to reinforce the Diadem. The deadlock growing out of the mixed court dispute continues. The Taoti or governor of the native city, adheres to his demand for the dismissal of the British assessor, under which title the police magistrate Is known, and the police inspectors while the British consul refuses to yield.

BROKEN HILL ZINC ORES ENORMOUS VALUE OF TAILINGS NOW TO BE TREATED ZINC EXTRACTION ERAOTIOAiBDE AND PROFITABLE The potentialities of the Broken Hill mines are not yet exhausted; the full lalo of achievement has not been told. Those mines situated within 35 miles of the soutli Australian border, have produced no less than JLX.WO.UW in mint-rat value, they have yielded £10,*10,000 in dividends, und though worked for over 21) years, greater riches remain Lo be garnered, says lhe Financier. During tlie last 29 years thero has been a vast accumulation of tailings ou the Barrier range, ll Is all the while being added lu. lt has long ben known to represent a hoard of wealth, but the realisation thereof lias only recently ben accomplished. Tlie problem'was how to extract the spelter or Impure -zinc—a product which at tho present time is quoted at £2S per ton. EVflll at £10 llie spelter resources of the Broken Hill might prolll- ably compete with the ziuc production ot the world, But how were they to be mined to account? Thai wus a tantalizing difficulty. Many experiments were matle; many processes were tried. Any and every inventive genius had his chance of tame ami fortune. But the riddle was not quite solved until the Cnnnii'hue I-Bradford process demonstrated that zinc extraction was practicable, and certain to be very prolltable. A. D. Carmlchael, the Inventor of the process, is lhe chief metallurgist for the Broken Hill Proprietary, lie had been eyeing these aggravating mounds of tailings for a long time and puzzling out the elusive problem. Patience and persistent endeavor were finally rewarded, aud It is the Carmlchael-Bradford process with which a .start Is being made to win tno wealth from tiie residues uf the Broken Hill mines.

Wm Mnlfrird PLUMBING We are prepared to do all kinds of plumbing, steam and gas fitting on the shortest notice. Estimates given. Strachan av iM>ri 'ii, Baker street, Nelson, B, C. Pbons M, two million tons of actual tailings and options on three or four million tons more, containing metals to the value of over £20.000,000.. The two million tons upon which a start Is to bo made are reckoned to contain something like £10,000,000 worth of metal. That Is something like a bonanza to begin with, It seeans colossal in proportion to tho company's capital or ■£350,000. And then there are three to four million tons In reserve. The two million tons nre available for Immediate exploitation. They are accumulated residues re- uli'lng neither mining nor crushing in connection with their treatment for ziuc. It is expected that thc treatment will start next March at the works, which are being erected near the mines on a site of 100 acres acquired by the corporation. If it be seen that there is money in zinc refining us well as In smelter production tho company will undertake that branch also, but meanwhile It will make the best terms possible for refining. The corporation has entered Into contracts ou lho basis of not more than ls. in the £, and lias about 19s to play with for working expenses, smelting und profits . It could apparently pay 20 per cent in dividends it Its profits only represented ime-twentlelti part of the recovered contents of the tailings to be dealt With. Whilst the Carmiohael-Bradford process —with the Potter in combination-Is the one with which a start will be made, tbe corporation retains the right of employing sulphide process adapted lo special exigencies. Considering lhat the Broken Hill seems llkly to dominate the world as a zinc producer, it is perfectly certain that any and every process tending to the maximum of recovery and the minimum ot cost will be urged on the company's no- lice for acceptance. It will bave the pick of whatever may he going. One test has actually been applied to Broken Hill tailings during the year—namely, the Dolprat. It has heen demonstrated that as much as £1 per ton of ziuc product could be Obtained from tho residues, Tills is a useful Indication; it. gives a clue lo the commercial possibilities of extraction by the most satisfactory method of treatment hitherto known. The corporation Is known lo have made lis own hulk tests with processes worked In combination, and the results are said to have been good. Those results have not been oillcialty announced, lest they should lend to unhealthy speculation ere Ihey are proved to the hilt by confirmatory tests.

Can be had at all grocers at t v<*rv low prii Preserving wood with chemicals has a double interest for mine operators. It ls a method of reducing costs and it widens the market for some of the products of the mines. According to statistics reported by the Santa Fe railway, 11,503 ties (sleepers), says the Engineering and Mining Journal, were treated chemically iu the United States in 1885; 1,281,331 in 1895, and 13,772,246 ln 1904. The growth of this industry was naturally slow at rust, pending demonstration of the efficiency of the treatment, which required the lapse of 12 years; since then it has been remarkably rapid, especially In the lust two years. The matter is of interest to metallurgy, inasmuch as zinc chloride is the preservative commonly employed, and this constitutes a new use for spelter and one that promises to attain a good deal of importance. About one pound of zinc chloride per tie is required ou the average. Another new use for zinc ls in the preparation of pipe joint empound, for which zinc gray (zinc dust) ground in oil Is being extensively used in France and has been found to possess certain advantages over the lead compounds, which have gained for lt the approval of the Societe d'Etrcouragement Pour llndustrle. Discussing the same subject, the Mining Reporter of Denver Bays: The use of wood in construction work of all kinds has always been, and probably always will be, very extensive. By -reason of the fact that it is easily handled and readily adapted to various situations, it is improbable that In certain lines It will be superseded iby any of the metals. One of the drawbacks to its use, which has always been recognized, is the fact that but comparatively few woods resist the effect of time in any very remarkable degree. With a view to increasing tbe life of timbers, a number of means have been suggested, among which the preservation, by means of zinc chloride, has found considerable favor, and is quite widely applied. In brief, the process consists in extracting the soluble matter from tho wood and replacing it with a solution of zinc chloride. The, process may be pradtically carried out approximately as follows: The timber to be treated is charged in large air-tight retorts say 100 feet long and six feet in diameter. It Is then subjected Lo tlio action of live steam under a pressure of about 70 pounds per square inch for a varying period of time, sufficient to loosen and thin tho sap and soluable juices in the wood. After this has been accomplished, the steam is withdrawn and, by means Ot suitable air pumping xael.-n- ery, a vocui p i-s produce-l In the retort, as a result of which the sup Is extracted from the timbi.-i's After this is drawn from Uo retort, a 2 j.-cr cent t'pc, chloride aolittTuli is run in under heavy pressure which is maintained for a sufficient leug'.li cf ttui" lo thoroughly impregnate the timber-! with tne ftt- servative solution. After, this has been accomplished, the zinc chloride Is withdrawn, and a 2 per cent solution of glue is run in under a similar pressure, The effect of this latter treatment is to thoroughly cIobo up the pores of the wood in order to retail the zinc chloride. In. some plants a solution of tannic acid is also applied to the timbers, though the value of this Is questioned by some, and the practice cannot ibe said to be general. In certain arid regions i,t is questionable also whether the application of glue or any other sealing solution is necessary, inasmuch as the idea of Its application is merely to prevent the subsequent solution of the zinc chloride in circulating waters. Following the treatment with the sealing solution the pressure of the retort is released, and tlie timbers are withdrawn, stacked and permitted to dry. The effect of this treatment is, undoubtedly, to prolong the life of bhe timbers treated. Not only is their period of usefulness In-creased, but a number of the physical properties of the wood appear to be improved by the treatment. As an instance of the latter it ipay be cited that tests made on the tensile strength of treated and untreated timbers, indicate that the treated timbers show some slight superiority over those not treated. Plants for the treament of timber, as outlined above are comparatively simple, consisting merely of the retort, as described, together with the necessary pumping machinery, piping, valves, etc., and vats for making up the solutions, A -similar plant may be made in portable form, to permit of tbe treatment of timber at tlie point where it is cut, or any other advantageous location. ter of policy that will stand in the way, it is a matter of religion. Stpain Is the "richest jewel in the pope's crown." The queen of Spain must be a Roman Catholic. England is the head of the Protestant nations, the country where the breath of "a Spanish match" has In times gone by roused fiercest passions. The royal family of Great Britain must be Protestant, hut if princess Ena were to embrace the religion of her future husband because she loved him, who would say her nay? Almost every marriageable princess in Europe has been mentioned as a possible bride for the king, princess Ena among them, and one has been more enthusiastically commended as a possible consort than she. When the news of the betrothal is formally announced in Spain it will be received with national rejoicing:. ENGLISH QUEEN FOR SPAIN Princess Ena of Battenberg to -be King Alfonso's Bride (London Daily Mall) The engagement of the king of Spain to princess Vi'ctoria Eugenie of Battenberg, better known in England as princess Ena, Is persistently repeated in Madrid, in many cases with a positive claim to authenticity. The royal engagement ls a love affair pure and simple, Questions of policy have had nothing to do with it. Alfonso XIII. during his recent visit to England, is Baid to have fallen in love with princess Ena. After that diplomacy became merely the means by which a young king, hedged about by countless traditions and many barriers, sought lo achieve his heart's desire. The future queen of Spain will probably ibe known as queen Victoria, as a tribute to the memory of a great sovereign. The marriage is likely to take place here next year with all the charming ceremonial for which the Spanish people are famed. Tho Cortes will shortly be asked to sanction the wedding. The king's alliance with Great Britain will not only obtain tho approval of the Cortes, but will ibe hailed with enthusiasm by conservatives, liberals and every other political section.

Jewelers Engravers Nelson Rossland Trail OPEN EVENINGS GOOD YEAR'S WORK ENDS KOOTENAY FRUIT GROWERS Wild- INCORPORATE POR 1306 ASSOCIATION ON SATISFACTORY BASIS-OUTLOOK BRIGHT The lust meeting of tlio Kootenay Fruit growers association tor 1905, an adjourned net-tins*, was held In the city hall yesterday afternoon, beginning at 1 o'clock and remaining in session over three hours Although the time elapsed since the regular meeting waa too short to allow oi the completion of all details of Incorporation and the collection of subscriptions for stock as required by the act under Which incorporation la Bought, subatantiul progress haa been made, and no doubt Is entertained that nt tho annual meeting in January, everything will be In readiness for tlie winding up of the present association and the chartered company's existence will begin. The company will be composed of men actually engaged ln fruit growing, thougii not necessarily aa their only occupation. Each member will subscribe for at least one $5 share, and many for a much larger amount, but no individual member Is permitted to hold more than a tenth of the whole stock. The capital stock of the compnny will be $5000, of which 25 per cent, of $1250 must be imid up. The objects of the society include all tlie conceivable purposes for which fruit growers may wish lu cu-oper- nt'e. The Immediate co-operative action of the company will consist of collective purchasing of all materials required by tlie members, seeds, nursery stock, spraying materials and crates and boxes tor packing, and collective shipping nnd selling by officers of tiie association, lt is expected that by such means the members Will be able to buy what they need at greatly reduced prices, and dispose or their product on much better terms, than any of them could do individually. Negotiations are In progress and will probably be satisfactorily concluded by whicli all the crates to bo used by tlio members of lho association, will be manufactured In Nelson by the Kootenay Wire Works company, A long discussion took place on a communication from the East Kootenay Farmers' Institute asking for joint action in petitioning the government to investigate tiie title of the British Columbia & Alberta Reclamation company to the lands held by them in the valley of the Kootenay river. Tlie farmers of that district protest that the company has neglected to perform the undertakings In consideration for which the land was granted, also that while only such land was Intended to be granted as Is subject to annual overflow, tiie company's surveys include a lot of bench land to which they have no rlghl, aud which, therefore, should be thrown open fur settlement. It was explained by T. O. Procter that the company Is stlli at work on the scheme of reclamation by widening the outlet at the various narrows ou Kootenay river and has therefore not neglected its duties, and that the Inclusion of corners of bench land wus necessary in running the survey lines. At the meeting there were present James Johnstone, president, T. Morely, secretary. T. Al. Sturgess and Mrs, Sturgess, A. Cameron, J. Lalng Stocks, T. G. Procter, J. Williams, S. S. Fraser, G.' Fleming. J. McPhee, J. E. Annable, j. W. Holmes, O. J. Wlggin of Creston, VV, J. Salmons, C. II. Bourke and several others. T. Morley reported for. the committee nn incorporation that excellent progress was lining mnde, that the subscription of the necessary amount of stock was assured. and that all would be ready for completion by the date of the annual mooting. The secretary also read a Icltcr front J. R. Anderson, deputy minister of agriculture, in which was stated thait nothing In the uci forbade the payment of ten pur cent interest mi subscriptions, though the rato seemed rather high, Mr, Morley reported thai T. M. StUrgOBS and himself hail visited New Denver as instructed. They visited many orchards and were most hospitably entertained. A well attended meeting of fruit growers was held at which both delivered addresses on fruit growing generally and un the benefits of co-operation. Details of Incorporation were then discussed. It waa resolved to make the capital of the company $5000, aud that CO pur cent of that amount should be subscribed at the start. Membership was restricted to those engaged In Iruit farming, a committee, consisting of James Johnstone, o. J. Wlggin, J. Harris, u. ii. Bourke and S. S. Fraser, was appointed to complete tlie canvass fur collection of suo- scrlptions. An offer from the board of trade of tlie use f the board rooms for meetings or the association at the nominal rental or $15 per year was accepted. The seating capacity of the council chamber has been overtaxed at nearly every meeting. A grant of $10 was made to T. Luscombe in recognition of tlie services rendered hy him to the society, A levy of $1 per member was made, and promptly paid by all present, to settle some outstanding accounts, the balance to go to the secretary, "as a small token or recognition of the invaluable services performed by hlni during tlie year. Discussion followed on a letter from K. S. Bevan of Creston, secretary of tlie East Kootenuy Farmers' Institute, which asked for the endorsement by the association of a petition to the provincial government to annul the charter of .the British Columbia & Alberta Reclamation company, and to declare the lands now held by that company In the Kootenay valley open for settlement. The request was supported by O. J. Wlggin, T. G. Procter explained that the company was still at work devising means for pie- venting the annual flooding of the lands round the south end of Kootenay lake. bv widening the outlet ait the various narrows, Procter, 9-Mlle point and Grohman creek. It was hoped that the cited would be to carry away the surplus water in live weeks instead of four months and increase the period of cultivation by the difference. No notion was taken on the request as the petition is not yet drawi^up. Afler another long discussion on the best kinds of crates, J. W. Holmes was invited to manufacture them of the kind and dimensions approved of at tlie last meeting, at n cost of $llf> per thousand. No order could ho given binding the association for next year, but Mr. Holmes accepted the understanding, The association, then adjourned to Jan. 3, lOOO. PLANNING ADVERTISING CAMPAIUN (By J. Angus Macdonald) The first thing to do is to llgure out how much money is to be spent in the advertising campaign. This Is quite a matter ot individual judgment—no one should be as well posted on tills as the advertiser Himself, for he knows best the resources at his command. However, some talk of percentages may not be out of place. Tho average American retailer spends 3 per cent of his gross receipts in advertising. I have known eases where b, ti 7 and sometimes ns hlgli au io per cent was Bpeni; but of course these were ox- tvemp enses, such as opening a new store, a new UnB of goods, or where It was essential to make an extra good nnd strong Impression upon thc public. True, some retail stores seem to get along fairly well with a one per cent expenditure, but the most successful seem to belong to tlio three per cent class. During nn Interview with one of the world's leading circus advertisers he toid me that from 35 to 40 per cent of the tcroaa receipts were spent In advertising. In other words, |f tho elrcUB took in $*0t- 000 per day. about $4000 of It wont back into advertising. Which Is quite a tidy sum when you come to think of It. 1 believe there are some patent medicine nnd general advertisers who regularly spend this percentage—at any rato, very nearly—and ft must pay them for them seem to advertise with cheerful regularity OJid liberality. But to got back to my first proposition. Smokers' Supplies * We have a full supply of pipes and cigars suitable for Xmas Gifts. Queen Cigar Store The merchant or business man about to enter upou au advertising campaign, has a better knowledge of and is a better judge of his resources than any one else. Therefore, he should havo a pretty clear Idea of the speelticd sum he is about to spend. The next point is to consider the methods. For tlie -"taper there Js no medium so sensible and satisfactory as his local paper. It constantly circulates among the people he wishes 'o reach; It is clean, dlgnitted and effective as a medium to carry his advertising message, it should go down as "Number Ono" on his list. Por thc mail order or general ndvorLlser It too is excellent, for without it the section It covers can scarcely bo said to be advertised In. Find out what tho space costs In your local papers. Do not go into a cheap paper because the advertising rates sound "cheap." When you come to llgure It up and compare what you got out of one or these cheap papers with a good paper having fair ratos, you may presently conclude that the "cheap" rates are not cheap at all—In fact they are dearer than the other paper. As a general proposition the paper with a circiflaiUIn .and 'Influence that amount to anything Is quite justified in its charges, no matter how high they may seem to the uninitiated outsider. Having settled with the business department on details of rates and positions, the next point Is to prepare the advertising and determine Its size. This, or course Is governed by circumstances, it it Is a sale to last for several days or weeks, "put your best foot forward," use tbe largest space at tlrst. The same may be said of an opening. It Is a good point Io make a good first impression upon the public mind, then to follow it up wllh advertising so sustained that this excellent first Impression Is strengthened. Do not use up all your advertising arguments In lhe first ad. or two; have some In reserve for future occasions. Much ot the early part of the campaign should tie given up to the digging up of such arguments—to a deep study of the merits of your proposition—to a consideration of the points most likely to Impress the public. And in presenting these points use easy business English, tlie kind thai can be grasped by readers In an instant, illustrations are good; if you nre going to use them remember that the cost of a good and poor picture is pretty nearly the same, but the effect Is quite different, select type that Is legible and graceful; or rather, let il good printer or advertising nuin do it. Endeavor lo havo Individual advertising, a distinctive style of set-up so thai presently people will Instantly recognize your ads. by I heir very appearance. Run (lie sale several days or several weeks, as long as It pays. Run the opening several days with the same idea in brief. If you are Introducing a new brand of goods to s e.liy, keep it up until the stuff is Introduced with a thoroughness that Is unmlstnkcabto und f-o evident from its snle. A little whitewash of advertising will not do this. It takes sustained nnd systematic publicity to accomplish this purpose. If it Js an autumn, Christmas or any season's campaign let ft be kept up every week during this season with unfailing energy and conviction regarding the merits of the goods advertised, as proven by the very Interesting copy used in the liberal advertising spaces taken. VIEW OP A MATERIALIST Dr. Osier Poohpoohs the Authenticity ot Deathbed Visions New Vork, Dec. SO—A Baltimore despatch to the American, says; "Dr. Wm. Osier, now of England, in his latest hook says lhat "deathbed visions," believed in by thousands, and of which there are scores of supposed authentic records, are plain nonsense. Moreover he supports his declaration by B00 deathbed observations of his own which he thinks proves absolutely that such reported visions are untrue, In nil these cases there was suffering, fear and other emotions -but no thought of the future. His observations are a startling contribution to a subject which has always keenly Interested scientists, clergymen and physicians and It is certain lo provoke general discussion. Dr. Osier says: "As 1 have lived. Influenced practically by the thought of a future life. I have carefully prepared records of about SOO deathbeds, studied particularly with reference to the modes of death and the sensations of tiie dying. Ninety suffered bodily pain and distress of some sort or another; eleven showed mental apprehension; two positive terror; ono expressed spiritual exaltation; one bitter remorse. The great majority gave no sign one way or the other; like their birth. their death was a sleep and a forgetting. The Preacher was right ln Ihis matter: 'Man hath no pre-eminence over the beast, as one dletli, so dleth the other'." CMBRYANT&CO.

The Mutual Life Assurance Go. 35 Years of Continued Growth and Prosperity THE MUTUAL LIFE oC CANADA Has no Capital Stock Has no Stockholders Haa no dividends for Stockholder Has no Stock Control THE INSURANCE LAW OP CANADA Does not ask for Capital Stock. Does not recognize Capital Stock Does not mention Capital Stock, in connection with the security of a life company, thus showing the usoleasneas of capital stock. The oldest, largest and most successful life companies in tlie world like the Mutual Life of Canada have no stockholders. But THE MUTUAL LIFE OP CANADA Has over ?9,000,000 gilt-edged assets. Has ^policyholders only, who ore the proprietors. Has dividends for policyholders only. Has policyholders in absolute control. THE INSURANCE LAW OP CANADA requires every company to set aside in reserve a portion of each premium at interest to provide for payment of the policy when it becomes a claim. This reserve is securely invested, and this reserve alone ls recognized as the policy holders' security. At the end of 1904 the Mutual Life of Canada had $1,049,400 more than the reserve upon the Government standard and every dollar was for the policyholders. CO Q H W U X oo W 5 O u z h co W tt\ W h Z u a [ s. & al THIS COMPANY, THE ONLY CANADIAN LIFE COMPANY THAT IS PURELY MUTUAL IS A GOOD COMPANY TO INSURE IN 1. Because the Policyholders are the proprietors, own all its assets and control Its affairs through a board ot Directors elected by and from among themselves. 2. Because tho Government Blue Books show that this company has the lowest expense rate of any Canadian Life Life Company. 3. Because the funds of the Com pany aro held as Trust Funds for the Sole Benefit of Its policyholders. It does not Invest or deal in stocks. Its securities are first Mortgages (principally on Farm Lands). Municipal Debentures, First Mortgage Bonds, Loans on Policies, etc., all of which are productive and safe beyond question. 4. Because the record of The Mutual Life of Canada, from Ub organization in the year 186!) has been one of continued growth and prosperity, and it Is today one of the oldest and strongest companies in Canada.
