CLASSIFIED ADS I CENT A WORD VOL. 9 NELSON. B. C, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18. 1911 NO. 233 I Mr, Johnstone Says Hon. Mr, Taylor J.s Favorable. ' ! CONFERS WITH LOCAL MEMBERS ; Premier Favors Kootenay Plan r - for Joint Water [i Districts. James Johnstone, who was chairman ijof the annual convention of the British 3 Columbia Fruit Growers' association, (returned on Monday night from Vic- I itoria, having attended the several con Inventions of the Fruit Growers' aBaocia- I; tion, the Stock' Breeders' association Bjand the Central Farmers' institute. Mr I; ilohnstone stated 'he was glad to get I back from tbe winds and cold of Vic- I itoria and Vancouver, for, though the lunereury was not so very low It was ■^sufficiently low to fill part of the bay In front, of the C.P.R. hotel with float- ling Ice. On the return trip, from the point where the Fraser river came Into flew, tee prevailed and even the swift Thompson was frozen over except In a tew spots where the water was dashing ihigh tn the air. If Bridge at Nelson j "When In Victoria," said Mr. John stone, "tbe most important work I took up, apart from the actual fruit business was urging upon members ot the government to support a measure which would soon come before them to bui'd i bridge over the Kootenay river at or ISear where the old C.P.R. wharf stands. I\ bridge at that point Is absolutely es- ■Sential for the Ibest Interests of Nelson lander present conditions and must be l.wentually built iby the government at I >o distant date as a ferry at ithe snlp- l/ard would be a perpetual expense to If he government and little better than ftiothlng. In the past I have always been j eady to oppose a Toad-through my pro A ierty as of no use, but am. now willing I'o submit to thlB Inconvenience for |Jhe public good. Now that tlhe C.P.R. 1 totel is built on the north side of the |\nm, the drive from there along the Tjo mile stretch of lovely orchards right Into Nelson will, tn a few years lit least, 'be the most charming and Ijeautiful drive for tourists on this or liny other continent Now, let us one End all push for this bridge and we will let It, and It can't be built too soon. |'he .bridge at this point only requires ue 160 foot span and one fairly deep [ier, which can be easily constructed • sinking a four to six foot diameter Keel cylinder and filling same with pod concrete and the rest can bo jilt on piles and filled in within ten bars with earth, as ithe water Ib quite bellow. As this point is below navi- Juion now that the new wharf is built. Iiis bridge does not require to be very ugh above high water. I "From the end of the present road lirvey, the road can easily, by light Irade, reach the bench running imme- llately behind my orchard, and along ■blowing said bench behind Mr. Ast- |>y's and Mr. Hume's gardens to the |Ite of the bridge as suggested. Minister Favors it J! "I made an appointment just after lie opening ot the house in Hon. Mr. Taylor's room with Mr. Taylor; minis- |;r of public works, Mr. Wright, our liember, and Mr. Sohofleld, the member lir Ymir and they were all very favorable to the building of the bridge in- (cead of the ferry. Now I believe we jave only to write and use every influence we can bring ito bear upon our government, and we will get this bridge ; once and I urn satisfied that It will jrove the greatest possible 'benefit to nelson, it might also be found expedient to build a road up from Taghum nd use the one bridge but this ls a fiatter of estimating cost, of same. '"I am pleased to Bay that many very Important and beneficial resolutions lere passed at both tbe Fruit Growers' ,id Farmers' institute meetings. Water Districts I The proposal of our local institute to I k the government to grant us power 1 form water municipalities as a solti- t#a tion of the gener*. ty t ble, was undoubtedly given preu *70 above all. other proposals, by ou» e^mler and cabinet at a long conf erem-.• held with them by delegates representing tbe various proposals,. Mr. prewry, water commissioner, was good enough to attend the Institute meeting, and when he was shown the various proposals he immediately supported ours as being by far the best and only feasible one. "The only local proposal which I found as usual would not carry at the central Institute meeting, waB the proposal to change the fence laws and make owners of all cattle fence them in. it was pointed but' that In most districts, while iby far the most of the inhabitants were fruit growers, still the acreage in fruit was insignificant as compared with the grazing land, and besides all orchards should be fenced with a legal fence, at least to keep out deer, and if any cow broke through a legal fence into an orchard the owner of same had only to Impound the animal and receive compensation at law. ■"Several other Important resolutions came forward, and were passed, a report of which will be made by me at the first monthly meeting of the institute." DONALD M'MASTER ON CHIEF ISSUES Telti Woman's Canadian Club of Mont' real That Elections Were Held Through Redmond's Influence, i MONTREAL, Jan. 17—Speaking on, the British elections before the Woman's Canadian club this afternoon, Donald McMaster, M.P., in the British house of commons, said there was apparently no reason for the last elections, except that John Redmond promised to make the goevrnment toe the mark, and did make them do so. "Unquestionably there must have been a promise of home rule given him," said Mr. McMaster. "The reason why parliament or the veto bill is being passed, was that the house of lords never would have passed a home rule bill without an appeal to the people, but If the power ot the house of lords Is reduced, then a home rule bill could be passed, and after that, In all probability In the sweet bye-and-bye, a second chamber might Je restored on an elective basis."

LABORITES CREATE SCENE IN ASSEMBLY Speak for Twenty-nine Hours In West Australian House to Redistribution Bill. MELBOURNE, Jan. 17—Extraordinary Bcenes have marked the progress of a redistribution of Beats bill Introduced in the parliament ot West Australia.

One of the labor- Ites showed fight, and the services of the police were required. Finally the labor party withdrew In a body, and progress having been made with the redistribution bill, the assembly arose. The bill will be enacted in spite ot the opposition.

Passengers Sign Petition to Attorney General-Cars Overturned, TORONTO, Jan. 17—A score of persons were hurt, none seriously, in a wreck on the Owen Sound ibranch of the C.P.R. ibetween Monroe and Bolton The baggage car and two passenger coaches of the south bound express due in Toronto at 3:30, left the rails, ran down a low embankment and turned over on their Bides. The train was running about 30 miles an hour and the accident happened on a curve. The cause is believed to have been a loose fish plate, which allowed the rails to spread. An odd occurrence of ithe accident was the conduct of four prisoners who were being brought from Owen Sound to the Central prison at Toronto. When the derailment occurred, the constable in charge released the prisoners from their manacles and they worked nobly in rescuing the imprisoned passengers. One of them crawled Into a coach and with snow carried by his comrade, extinguished the fire In the stove, which threatened to ignite the wreckage, When all tbe passengers were safe, the prisoners submitted themselves to the custody of the constable who allowed them to travel the remainder of the Journey without shackling them. All the passengers signed a petition to the attorney general asking him to take cognizance of the brave conduct of the convicts; ." The passengers were brought to Toronto on ithe express from Sudbury, reaching here at 10:30 p.m. The most painfully Injured are: 'Baggageman A. Edwards, foot broken; W. Griffith, rib fractured; W. Davis, Darlton, Ont., scalp wound; H. Elliott, Harris ton. Ont., head cut, back twIsted;H. G. Tucker, Owen Sound, bruised; Mrs. <W. L. Young, Markdale, bruised and shaken.

Briand, happened to look towards the gallery just before the first shot was tfred and say the direction in which the weapon was aimed and knew intuitively that the premier's life was threatened. He sprang up and urged the premier, to protect himself, to lean over his desk, but M. Briand refused. The next Instant two shots were heard and M. Mlrman fell into M. Brland's arms, the bullet having passed through the fleshy part of his leg and rolled to the floor.

POINDEXTER ELECTED OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 17—Both houses ballotted for senator today. In CONTEST IS THE MAIN SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION Heavy Hail from Outside Points Due to Inquiries and Nominations-Grand Forks Citizen Wagers That Nelson Will Not Win the Grand Prize—Many Receipt Books Called For. The contest department of The News Is the busiest place In town these days. The inquiries have commenced to come in from outside points already and the telephone is working overtime answering questions and entering the names of those who didn't wish to wait for the mall to ask for the receipt books. But the mail was heavy enough, anyhow. There were.maoy letters but all contained about the same questions and remarks. The correspondents made it plain that the magnitude of the big contest Is fully appreciated and that it will cause a ready response from all parte of the contest territory. First Wager Against Nelson. A prominent citizen of Grand Forks was In the city yesterday, and, like everybody else, he was discussing the $5000 voting contest. When asked it his buBy city would likely have a candidate in the race he answered: Yes indeed. In, fact we will have several of them if I am not badly mistaken. And, we will let the other towns know they are due for a scrap, too." A travelling man overheard the remark and said: "You don't expect to beat the Nelson candidates for the grand prize, do you?" "Well," the Grand Forks man replied, "we will not do any bragging Just now, but I will bet $100 that the grand prize is not won by a Nelson candidate." The wager was accepted Immedldately, and now both gentlemen are explaining why they were so confident. The travelling man took the position that Nelson would win because it fs the largest city In the contest territory, while the Grand Forks citizen claimed that Nelson would have so many candidates dividing the vote that any one of several outside citleB would have the best of things. He oaK-ed attention to the Lethbrldge dispatch in yesterday's News to tbe effect tbat a Cardston man won the 12000 automobile in the Lethbrldge contest. "You see," he said, "there were five or six candidates In the city of Lethbrldge and only one at Cards- ton. It worked out the same way in the recent contest for the $5000 home offered by a Spokane paper. The grand prize waB won by a lady living in an adjoining state, and in a city of only 6000, while the Spokane candidates had over 100,000 population to draw from. There were too many candidates In Spokane for any one to win." But the travelling man only smiled. t Reoelpt Books Are Ready. The receipt books for the use of candidates in the contest are now ready and will be mailed out promptly to those requesting them. These books may be used at any time but no money will be accepted by the contest office until the opening date of the contest, Feb. 1. $2500 Grand Prize The person who Becures the largest number of votes In the whole contest will receive a prize worth $2500. The peculiar conditions of the contest territory have made it Impractical to confine this grand prize to any one subject and so the difficulty has been overcome by offering |he option of five different grand prizes, one of which will be sure to appeal to every person likely to become a candidate. The winning candidate will have the choice of: 1. Two trips around the world, Including 10 days at the Coronation of King George. 2. A $2500 modern home, to be erected at any point In the contest territory named by the winner. ' 3. A $2500 raised-cabin gasoline cruiser, with 20-horse power engine, powerful enough for ocean cruising, and having accommodation for 20 passengers. 4. A 12500 30-horse power, five passenger automobile, of the latest model and fully equipped. 5. The cost price of either of the above prizes In cash, The Four District Prizes. The contest territory has been divided into four districts and candidates in each district will compete for a piano in their own district only. They will be in competition with all of the districts for the grand prize, however. The candidate who secures the highest number of votes in any district, but not enough Votes to win the grand prize, will be given an elegant. $500 Mason & Rlsch Piano. This means that four ambitious candidates will each receive one of the most valuable pianos known to the musical world for the MaBon & Rlsch piano is known wherever civilization has made a way for melody. In Canada the Mason & Risch piano Is preferred above all others, for In the matter of pianos especially, Canadians believe that "the best Is the cheapest." The News doesn't know where to find a better piano than the Mason & Rlsch. That's why the four district pianos are the product of the Mason & Risch factory. $500 Organization Prize. The candidate who secures the moat votes in the contest and wins the grand prize will be permitted to name the church, school, lodge, society or individual to whom The News will award a $500 Mason & Risch piano. The purpose of this offer Is to make the contest appeal to as many people ns possible. It Is expected that as soon as a candidate declares In favor of his favorite society for the piano the members will turn In their subscriptions in his name, it is also expected that organizations desiring a new piano will nominate candidates and work for their success.

DIVIDED PROCEEDS WITHWHITEOFFICIALS Significant Evidence at ^Chinese Investigation-Similar Scheme at Prince Rupert. (Special to The Daily News.) VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 17—Letters were read before the Chinese commission this afternoon that bad been written to the department of customs at Ottawa by employees of the Vancouver customs house complaining that Collector Bowell was frequently so intoxicated In the forenoons that he was incapable of signing checks and that the work of the customs house was consequently greatly retarded. The matter was taken up by the Inspector of the district E. S. Busby, who obtained from the department authority for the surveyor of customs to sign checks and transact other business in the name of the collector. Sold Certificates. At the morning session Customs Inspector Husliy was on the stand and gave extremely interesting testimony. He produced a letter written as early as 1908 in which Customs Cashier Blair stated he had been approached by Vancouver Chinaman asking him to join the writer and Yip On in a scheme to bring in Chinese fraudulently. The Chinaman proposed fo go to China and sell the certificates, Yip On to work the scheme at this end of the line. Mr. Busby also said he had been informed by the customs collector at Prince Rupert that Chinese members of crews. of incoming vessels there obtain cer-" tlficates of Identification " which they sold in Hong Kong. When the purchaser reached Vancouver he arranged entrance with the interpreter. Mr. Busby produced a number ot confidential reports he had mnde to"the department showing that customs officials hnd at times entered to their personal accounts moneys collected for head tax, although this was later repaid. To Mind Own Business. When Busby told about Cashier Blair's letter, Mr. Justice Murphy said that it was about time that passports began to come in and asked if witness took any action. "1 hail my instructions from the chief controller and I had to obey them," he replied. "They told you to mind your own business then," questioned Judge Murphy. "Yes, and I tried to do it," replied Mr. Busby. A letter from the Prince Rupert collector said immigrants fraudulently entered, paid the interpreter $125 of which he kept $20 and the rest was handed over to white officials. The writer's letter said he got information from parties who approached him concerning working a similar scheme at Prince Rupert. On hearing of this letter Justice Murphy promptly ordered that Collector McDonald of Prince Rupert be summoned as a witness in the inquiry. C. P. R. constables on the wharves said It was easy to smuggle from Empress liners at Vancouver, and also stated that Yip On was a constant visitor to the detention shed by night and day when liners arrived and appeared to have free access to every part of the customs office. "It is being emphasized here every day the stern necessity of separating the business of Chinese immigration from the customs department. Somebody ought to look after it. From evidence bo far It seems to have been nobody's business," was one of Justice Murphy's comments of today.

"It will, .however, he possible to have the Moyle leave Kaslo at 7 o'clock on her mornings out of that port instead of at 11 o'clock.

Already this whole distance is sold by the foot frontage and most of it has been bought for industrial purposes.

Although the temperature has been steadily rising since Sunday night it Ib hoped that the ice at the rink will hold sufficiently to allow the hockey game with Rossland scheduled for tomorrow night to take place. Frank Patrick will be on the local line-up. A Brantford dispatch says: "Buck Irvlng'B new Eastern Pro. league has proven a disappointment In some ways, Belleville being particularly weak in its support of Its team. Irving now plans to drop Belleville from the eastern circuit and bring the Belleville team to Brantford, entering It under Brantford colors, with Gait, Berlin, and Waterloo, in the Western Ontario league." * Ottawa Citizen: "Bruce Rldpath was the hardest worker on the ice. The citizen of Toronto seems to show Improvement every game he plays. Ottawa go to Montreal to play Wanderers on Jon. 28. There will likely be an awful difference in the champions by that time." Herb Clarke, the ex-Varsity star, last year with the Cobalt pros., Ib back home for the winter, and will not play hockey this year. He will be available as an O. H. A. referee. The post mortem examination of last season's play of the teams of the Eastern league continues, disclosing from time to time new causes of death of the championship hopes of various clubs. No doubt these averages serve some high and good. purpose, for otherwise they would not be so faithfully calcu- lated. Possibly their chief usefulness consists in stimulating the top men to live up to their fine records, and In warning the men below the middle of the class to brace up or run the danger of having to travel with slower company. And yet these averages are a bit like messing about among the bones of a dead past.

WHY EXPULSION OF RAILWAY IS ASKED Mr. Retallack Gives Personal Experience! of How Great Northern Has Treated District To the Editor of The Dally News: Sir,—Now that the request ot the Kaslo board of trade for curative action by the provincial government, of the neglect by the Great Northern railway of its obligations in regards to the Kaslo ft Slocan railway, Ib 'before the public, and will shortly be dealt with by the. convention of tbe associated boards of trade, some actual experiences of such neglect, which I had intended presenting to such convention, but am now unavoidably prevented, and their results in militating against even the railway's own interest by restricting business, may ihe of public interest. The Great Northern's operation of the Victoria & Sydney railway, the Nelson ft Fort Sheppard, and the Bedllngton & Nelson, Its delay In completing the V., V. & E. 'and Its attitude in regards •to lite dbUgatijons ' at Winnipeg (afle well known examples of Us methods of handling Its Canadian feeders. To drain everything detachable from Canada, to keep the expense of upkeep and operation, little, if any, above the danger point and to spend not a dollar in the development of the areas deplenished is the Hill policy, as seen in practice. The example,afforded Iby the K. ft S- U however, unique for here a great railway corporation, having received adequate and valuable ooncesAiojus, de Hberately Ignores its responsibilities and, if permitted, doubtless seeks to wait until the exertions of the Interests and communities It has done everything to destroy, restore the value of Its holdings. The remedy rests with the provincial government twihlch Is confronted by this most serious situation, arising from negligent legislation on the part of its predecessors. Probably no individual has had closer Interest in the K. & S., as shipper, or .been In more Intimate relations In a business way, with sponsible officials than myself and in presenting facts as they have come to my personal knowledge, I take the opportunity to record my appreciation and that of the mining and bual ness community here of the consider ate treatment accorded to us iby officials as Individuals. In contradistinction to this has been the absolute neglect and not wnseldom discourtesy at St, Paul The K. & S. railway was built and taken over as a feeder by the Great Northern railway at a time when, there being no lead smelters in Canada, the ore was hauled to the United States, Hence a good business resulted until the institution of smelting In Canada (Nelson and Trail) when the long haul was cut off. About this time also the feverish activity of boom days had exhausted Itself; mining had settled down to a business bas's and the result of the strike of IsmooTTwW being felt severely. In 1903, business being un satisfactory, the then resident manager requested other mine operators and myself to suggest a plan whereby conditions might be Improved. Our report was, briefly, that on account of the short baul and the decreased amount of high grade crude shipping ore likely to be produced and shipped in sacks. no great improvement could be expected from the production of such ore. but that a large developed tonnage of low grade zlnky ore undoubtedly existed, which was likely to be increased by further development. Such ore could not be handled by the K. & S. and steamboats as equipped, viz., transfer In sacks from narrow gauge cars to steamers and thence to standard cars. We therefore recommended that facilities for handling and transferring such ore 'n bulk be pro vided with transfer by car barge on the lake and that the railway Bhould interest itself in the construction and operation of a customs concentrator at a suitable location, where the smaller mines could got their ore treated. St. Paul's acknowledgement of our efforts was to the effect that being interested parties we were not worthy of credence In the following year, at our suggestion, strongly endorsed by the resident manager, an independent authority was engaged by the railway In the person of Prof. John R. Parks, well known in ithls province. His report—a copy of which I have—not only endorsed but considerably exceeded our statements and estimates. About this time Mr. Louis Hill paid a flying trip over the line to Sandon; following which the resident manager was requested to resign, all (betterments or even proper up keep cut off and the road has been permitted to decay and wreck to Its pres ent condition. The correctness of Mr Parks' report has been amply demon strated. Notwithstanding the handicap of the K. & S. equipment and operating methods, results achieved at the Rambler, Lucky Jim and Whitewater and of development at the Washington and the mines of South Fork of Kaslo afford ample evidence that, with as muoh enterprise displayed In the transportation business as there bas been in mining the mines of this section will continue to add to our provincial national wealth for generations, Some Experiences of Kaslo &' Slocan Railway Methods Washington Mine, 1903—Having de veloped a large tonnage of low grade zlnky concentrating ore, requested a rate on Buch ore from McGulgan to the Payne concentrator—say two miles of level .track—trains running dally. Railway would not consider less than $10 per car. As K. &S. cars only hold 15 tonB of such material this equalled 6*1 cents per ton, which with the cost of loading and unloading and customs con* centratlon, was prohibitive. The railway would 'have had haul of resulting products and been at no extra expense beyond supply of cars dally. Washington Mine, April, 1906—Re quested a rate on -bulk lead ore from MoGuigan. Reply: "Impossible to reach decision until matter of facilities for handling bulk ore arranged." Nothing further accomplished. Whitewater Mines, June 1, 1907—Notified railway that Whitewater concentrator having <been remodelled, now producing laraje tofanage of dljpcv Ety deavorlng to find market. Anxious as to capacity of railway to move ore as they then only moving Lucky Jim ore at rate of 250 tons .per month- Whitewater Mines, October, 1907— Railway having agreed that, In order to facilitate finding a desirable market for zinc ore they would make a special effort to expedite movement of sample car; Letter to tihem Oct. 7, complains that said lot which left Whitewater Sept. 28, was still at Five Mile Point, .waiting for a standard car. Notified by railway that transport of ore across Kootenay lake at shipper's risk. This because open barges.;employed, ore being loaded thereon from K. ft S. cars and therefrom into standard cars at (Five Mile Point by men shovelling and wheelbarrows. For reason aforesaid, requested rate on sample lot of zinc to Europe (October, 1907.) Rate not made until Oct. 3, 1908, one year later. Winter 1907-1908—Zinc concentrates could not be shipped in bulk because railway could not handle iby shovels and wheelbarrows when frozen. Therefore had to suspend shipments. Whitewater Mines, 1908—Railway started to move accumulated or© in April. August 20, 1908—Commenced correspondence with officials re delay in movement. Only 11 cars per week supplied instead of four per day as promised. Requested a local K. ft S. rate on zinc to Kaslo so that we might .handle across lake ourselves. Request Ignored. Local superintendent unable to supply gondolas, only box cars. Shipments for year greatly delayed result ing in toss to us. Shipments again suspended during winter of 1908-1909 owing to Inability of railway to handle as aforesaid. Whitewater Mines, March 20, 1909— Wrot railway calling attention to impending United States Import duty on zinc and therefore important to get accumulation across boundary before duty imposed. Net result, we lost a large sum of money by reason of tardiness on. part of railway and at end of shipping season were left with 300 tons on hand. Winter, 1909-1910—Shipments of zinc suspended for same reason as before. Request for rate on (bulk lead ore from Whitewater to Trail. My first letter dated, Sept. 16, 1908. Oct. 5, 1908—Letter from W. W. Broughton, general traffic manager of G.N.R., asking that we do not insist as railway would make an absolute Ioss in handling bulk business. This for the reason they wished to continue handling lead ore In sacks in their steamers. Nothing further done in thi8 matter until 1910 when after the destruction of the railway by fire a rate of $2.85 per ton was made, being 85 cents more than on sacked ore and $1.35 more than the rate on bulk lead ore from Slocan points via C.P.R. Telegraph and Telephone Service The question was first taken up in the spring of 1907, when as there was no regular telegraph service on the K, ft S. railway, mine operators and merchants requested the use of the railway poles and wires for a telephone service, to be Installed and operated at the expense of the petitioners. Much correspondence followed but nothing was accomplished. .In the summer of 1908 J requested permission to string a wire and operate telephone ibetween Whitewater and Kaslo. After much correspondence the railway finally decided that they preferred to revert to the original plan. Nothing further was accomplished though mines and merchants were ready to their part. Maroh 30, 1909—In reply to a letter reopening the subject the railway wrote that If permission granted to string and operate a wire between Whitewater and Kaslo, they would require a rental of $6 per mile per year. This notwithstanding that proposed installation wa? to have been at sole cost of our mine and the railway would have had the use of It. May 26, 1909—Superintendent of CP.R. Telegraphs having informed me tbat they owned a wire on the K. & S. poles which they were not using and desired to sell, I requested permission from the Great Northern to buy and operate it. Reply was that tbey wished to operate themselves and make a monthly charge for service; all Installations to <be at cost of mines and merchants. June 23, 1909—1 wrote responsible Great Northern officials agreeing to any suggestion for securing telephone service. i June 4, 1910—1 wrote asking what ls fate or telephone service. No answer. By quoting the experiences of others an issue of your paper might readily bo flllledj. In confining myself to that which Is of my personal knowledge, which In itself may trespass unduly on your space I trust I may have been able to give some further Information on a question of grave public interest, JOHN L.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18 THE COUNCIL AND PUBLICITY It Ib gratifying to notice that the board of trade has not relaxed its efforts to secure for Nelson an adequate system of publicity, and the favorable reception of the board of trade deputation by the city council leads to the hope that joint action may secure for tiie city Ghat addition to its municipal activities that ig so urgently required if Nelson is to take its place in the forefront of the enterprising and progressive communities of the west. It hardly needs to be said that publicity Is in these days the life blood of progression. There is hardly an advancing and prosperous city in the west that does not owe a large share of its well being to the efforts that have been made to spread abroad the advantages that It offers to the capitalist and die settler, if Nelson is to reap tiie benefit to which fits superior attractions entitle it, steps must be taken to impress those advantages upon the people whom it is desired ito attract. In other places iu which a sufficient imethod of (publicity has been adopted the city council bas aided the move- iment by its countenance and financial support. In Nelson those most interested In advertising ithe advantages of the city have given abundant evidence of their willingness ito contribute liberally to the cause from which all must benefit, but It cannot be expected that the best results will be obtained without the sympathy and support that elsewhere has been ;provlded by the city council aa representative of the (taxpayers at large. The careful administration of the city's affairs of recen: years has done much to improve the finances of the city, and the future, so far as 'the financial situation is concerned, looks bright. The expenditure by the city of a reasonable amount toward the furthering of a publicity campaign would now be one of the best investments that could be made and would idtiirn thousands of dollars to the community for every hundred spent. The request of tbe board of trade for co-operation In the matter of attracting capital and settlers can hardly fail to arouse the sympathy and good will or every member of the council, although in the minds of some of them there may be hesitation to incur any large avoidable expenditure on which the sentiment of the tax payers has not been definitely ascertained. In such case the council might relieve Itself of responsibility by submitting the proposed expenditure on 'publicity tjo the tax •payers who would be required to provide the money, just as money bylaws are submitted. To such a course no objection could be taken, either by advocates or opponents of publicity, and with the verdict of the ratepayers, whatever It might be, there would be no disposition ito quarrel. obstruct it in .the house. The same thing may be said of the bill for ensuring sanitary conditions in all lumber camps The fire insurance legislation promised at one time to give rise to a good' deal of contention. When a hill was introduced last session hostilities instantly began, with the result that a commission was appointed. Under tlhe able chairmanship of Mr. Lennle, it was, however, able to bring in a report which seems to have met with general approval from all quarters. The bill which has been drafted embodying ithe recommendations of the commission may ibe expected, therefore, to be found generally satisfactory. ■ The report of another commission, that, for tbe selection of a university site, has not been equally acceptable to all parties concerned. But tbe commission was appointed on tlhe understanding that its report would be final, and though some members may express disagreement with the decision of the commission, they must abide by its verdict. COMMUNICATIONS A USEFUL PROGRAMME It is evident from the speech from the throne that a good deal of import ant legislation will be introduced tnTa year and it is probable that there will «s usual be other measures than those that the speech from the throne'.men* I lions. The measures to which reference is! raade In the speech from the throne are of much Importance and fairly numerous. Even if no others were to be brought forward In the course of the session it la evident that a good deal of legislation may be expected. The length of time to be spent by ithe members in Victoria will depend a good deal, of course, upon the amount of opposition which any of these bills may encounter. At present no prolonged opposition la in sight. The bill providing for the safety of coal miners must commend itself to the good judgment of men of all parties. Even those who would not i be likely to introduce such a measure themselves, are not likely to oppose or Mlnard's Linament Co., Limited, ■ .

THAT PAPER APPLE INCIDENT To the Editor of The Daily News. Sir,—As I find reports have reached Nelson of the Victoria Times' sensational headlines of Jan. 7, "Paper apples sent to London—Stated thut no prize fruit went to London from Vancouver—Show complains of quality of bottom tiers—From London purchasers, etc., etc." as chairman of the fruit growers convention of Jan. fi and 7, I consider that the public should knqw what took place at our meeting of Jan. 6. The Victoria Times report was absolutely misleading to say the least of it. A letter was read from J. H. Turner stating that a few complaints had been received from purchasers of the prize fruit that some of the boxes were not in perfect condition, which had been purchased from the Vancouver show car. In explanation I may say that this was quite natural because by the end of the London Royal Horticultural society show many of the very best boxes had undergone far too much handling and exposure to varying temperatures. In my own case I sent most of mine to friends and did not charge the government for them. Now most of my boxes had been packed for the NelBon fair, inspected, half unpacked, packed back again, exposed to a varying temperature for a week at the Nelson fair, then in my cellar until time to go to Vancouver. Inspected and halt unpacked at Vancouver. After exposure for many days In the warm and changing temperature of the Vancouver show building, repacked and sent to London, undergoing all the changes of temperature on the Atlantic and In the London show, then nailed up and delivered to consumer. Now every fruit man knows that these apples could not have been In prime condition and it would have been better under the circumstances to have sold them to dealers at market prices than to let the consumer have them at fancy prices, but of course Mr. Bullock Webster did not know what some of these prize boxes had undergone and I have no doubt they looked all right in London. As to paper apples, a member stated that in some boxes of fine apples shown at the Vancouver show prizes had been lost by imperfect packing and paper apples and extra layer paper used to make a tighter pack. In this case, the member was simply warning inexpert enced packers to be careful to make the best pack possible in every case. As reported in the Times, the public were led to believe that apples made entirely of paper were sent to London. As proof of this many people In Victoria asked me how paper apples were made, and how growers could afford to buy them and paint them when they had the real apple In the orchard. What a Paper Apple is. Now for the benefit of the public who mav not know what a paper apple Is, let me say that to a fruit man a paper apple Is simply an apple packed in a box with two or three small squares of tissue paper Instead of the regulation one piece. This is done by inexperienc ed packers who have not had sufficient experience to choose apples which fit tight in every way In the pack, or It may be a small plug of folded tissue paper pressed in between loose apples to make the row fit tight. To the purchaser they would only appear to be carefully wrapped and packed. It Is very difficult, as every Inexperienced packer knows, to get every apple fitting tight in place, and secure a 3-4 inch bulge in box, and I have never attended a show in Canada or the United States where boxes have not been disqualified on account of so-called paper apples or double layers of layer paper. False Statement re Prize Fruit. The statement that the car sent to London from Vancouver show did not contain a single box of pr\£e fruit is absolutely fslBe. The cause ot this statement was a member (who knew nothing about the show) asking If it were true that the prize fruit was not bought by the government and sent to London. The only first class prize fruit not sent either in whole or in part was that of one district whoBe manager imagined that as they had in the past supplied the government with about 25 per cent of the past shipments to London, the government could not' get along without that particular fruit. He therefore refused to send any fruit to London unlesB a man from his own town was sent with it at the government's expense, to London. When Mr. Scott, the deputy minister of agriculture, told me this, I remarked, "Let them keep their apples. British Columbia Is not dependent on any one district in order to sweep the prizes of the Royal Horticultural Bociety show in London." I then took a deep intereBt in the securing of fruit, and went round the buildings with Mr. Scott and Mr. Brondreth, and saw them select all the prize fruit procurable, and especially did they select fruit from districts noted tor the keeping quality of their apples. It was therefore very satisfactory for us, who knew about this absurd demand, to learn that the British Columbia apples received higher awards than ever before, and on every hand were pronounced the finest display ever made by British Columbia in London. Of course Mr. Scott did not send prize winning Oregon fruit to advertise British Columbia in London. The government did not require to send any one along with this car from Vancouver, aB Mr. Bullock-Webster was then in London with the previous carB sent over to be shown at provincial shows before going to London. Mr. Bullock-Webster has always been more Chan satisfactory to me, although he doeB not have a ranch on the west arm of Kootenay lake. If the government were to countenance such absurd demands, they would have to send at least 80 men with each car, as we on the lake would have to send at least four men, one from Nelson, Kaslo, Crawford Bay and Creston. In fact, the whole discussion was for the Instruction and information of inexperienced exhibitors, and was never Intended to be taken hold of by a malicious newspaper, which would only print the complaints and absurd questions asked, as if they were admitted facts, and especially as many of the terms used were quite unintelligible and misleading to the general public. It may Interest many of your readers to know that the annual meeting held last week In Victoria wob the most largely attended and most representative of any ever held in this province, and I would strongly advlBe every fruit grower to become a member, as the annual fee is only $1, and apart from the fact that this association represents every Bectlon of British Columbia, united for the common good, every member can save at least 25 per cent on the purchase of wrapping ptiper, spray material and otheV orchard supplies.

I Often Prescribe It "I do not advocate indiscriminate use of alcohol, but I often prescribe it in moderate doses, especially for elderly people suffering from smile changes and debility. I order it to be taken during the principal meal of the day and well diluted. An important matter is to find a safe and reliable liquor. While I practised my profession in Boston, Mass., which I did for twenty-five years, I had frequent occasion to order Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey among my elderly patients, and I must say the result was to their advantage." Prosper Bender, M. D., Quebec, Que. Beneficial Result* "I have employed Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey where indicated for a great many years with great success.

During the third quarter Greenwood tallied again and were one In the lead until about half a minute before time was scored, when Grand Forks evened up. Twenty minutes overtime was played, the Grand Forks seven getting two more goals and snatching the victory from the home team when the latter thought they had it cinched. A special train was run from Grand Forks and four hundred spectators saw a syenuous and exciting match, both teams appearing to he going their limit, which necessitated Referee Ellis handing out a number of penalties. The same two teams will play again on Friday at Grand Forks. ROVERS CHALLENGE Y. M. C. A. JUNIORS The Rover hockey team challenge the Y. M. C.

VISIBLE DECREASE WINNIPEG, Man., Jan. 17.—After a very dull market for the first two hours there was a fairly breezy period before close. Weather conditions were not good In the winter wheat states and there was a fairly heavy decrease In Bradstreet's visible, and though the visible is still 15,000,000 over last year this decrease was not without Its effect. The shorts got uneasy and there was sufficient covering, added to a small amount of speculation, to advance the market. May closed at 99%c against 98%c on Tuesday. The export bids were still out of line and cash demand was small. Oats closed >fec up. May flax advanced another five cents, mainly on the crop news from the Argentine. Chicago May closed ll„c up and Minneapolis "4c up. If present weather conditions continue further advances may he looked for.

R. and Soo made new high marks today, the former selling up to 210% at New York and Soo 140. Steel had another of Us weak spells and worked off to 5614. but rallied a little from that level. Selling orders are still coming' from tired holders, who seem to be shifting over to stocks which recently have shown a disposition to give them more action for their money. There Is a great deal of bearish talk of steel earnings going about and likely there will be a falling off in Ml. On the other hand the deficiency, If any, from the steel department, wilt ltke- ly be made up by the coal company which, barring accidents, should have the best year in Its history. Richelieu crossed 95 on active buying. Rumors of a deal in this issue are not confirmed. The rise seems due as much as anything to more general recognition of the company's stronger financial position. LONDON STOCKS FIRM LONDON, Jan. 17—Money was fairly easy today. Discount rates were quiet. The stock market continued firm, with slight general gains despite the appearance of attractive new issues. Home rails, mining shares and Canadian issues received the most attention, but rubber shares were easy on the lower prices at the crude rub- iber auctions. American securities opened steady and advanced under the lead of Canadian Pacific, In which a large amount of business was done. Wall street and the continent bought well in the late trading and the market closed firm. Stocks! Stocks!

WHEAT REGAIN8 LOST GROUND CHICAGO, Jan. 17.—Wheat gained without trouble the ground lost yesterday. Com strength was quite a factor. Primary receipts were light enough to give the buying a good deal or encouragement and there was a liberal decrease in the world's available supply. Sleet damage In the southwest formed another help to the bulls. Note the difference in these two loaves of bread! No. 1 was made from SEAL OF ALBERTA- the Faultless Flour—the flour that makes per* feet bread. There is a reason why it is better. You have seen a boy chew wheat to make "gum" out of it That "gum" as he calls it, is the gluten of the wheat. On the quality of the gluten the bread depends. That "quality" in the gluten is determined by soil and moisture and locality and other things. And we select the best wheat frqm the best locality—clean it perfectly—wash it—mill it in a mill that is perfection itself—then age it until it is just right, in order to give you in perfect condition SEAL OF ALBERTA, the Faultless Flour. Ask your grocer about it Read neat week's The apparent strength, however, was In a large measure technical. Outside markets were slow to respond to the bulge here. Oats followed corn. There was much covering by shorts, but commission offerings at certain limits checked the advance. C. P. R. NEW HIGH POINT NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—Trading- began with a broad and active demand which soon placed the list as a whole at the top level for the present movement, with gains almost equally well distributed among railway and industrial issues. The general tone of the market Indicated that some of the powerful financial factors were encouraging the movement by tacit consent at least. Some justification for this belief was found In the new financial reports in the course of the day, as well as the further ease in the monetary situation. The strength of Canadian Pacific was again a feature, London advancing the stock by about two points before our opening and tiie rise continued here to 210%, a new high record, with a net gain of over three points. The movement in Canadian Pacific naturally attracted attention to various properties whose fortunes are linked with it, sucli as Wisconsin Central, Soo, Duluth South Shore and Atlantic and Twin City Rapid Transit, all of which materially Improved their market prices. Norfolk & Western issues wore even more prominent in the day's operations," the stock advancing over four points on heavy transactions, with a substantial gain in the convertible bonds. It i." believed before long that tile Norfolk & Western will be taken over by the Pennsylvania system. The financing definitely announced today included $19,00,- 000 seaboard airline bonds. $10,000,000 American Telephone and Telegraph bonds and $10,000,001 New York, New Haven & Hartford sliort term notes. Practically all of these are in the nature of refunding operations and call for no disturbance of existing conditions. In the general bond market a firm tone was apparent throughout. Total sales par value $6,485,000. C. P. R. LEADS AGAIN WINNIPEG, Jan. 17.-Wall street was exceptionally active this morning and one of the leading features was C. P. R. The price of this stock touched a new high mark, over 210, and the reason therefor was ascribed to the report of a possible new stock issue. Of course those who have studied tbe situation of the C. P. R. can well understand that It will have to continue to make extensive capital expenditure* <>rt new lines. The territory In west- Remember Prince Rupert Sale Do you want another chance?

"A Stubborn Cinderella" will be seen at the opera house on Saturday night, Jan. 28. "I should have preferred to have It on a night when the stores are not open," he said. "However, we are lucky to get an attraction of this magnitude at all, for It is the biggest, best and most costly show Which ever has appeared In Canada outside of Winnipeg, Vancouver and Toronto. I have been doing my best to Induce Mr. Burlock, the manager of the company, to shift the date ns so many of my best patrons are unable to get to tiie theatre on Saturday and I am anxious to get a record-breaking house with this show, which will be Impressive enough to induce other big musical shows to come to Nelson, but the interest already manifested makes me confident or selling every seat." Mr, Burlock, manager of the companj, spent yesterday m Nelson and was most enthusiastic over Its appearance. "If there were a few more towns like Nelson in Western Canada tile biggest shows would he glad to come north," he said. "I am sure that 'A Stubborn Cinderella' will play to the absolute capacity of the opera house and to a most appreciative audience. The company numbers over 00 people and we think some of the very prettiest and most fascinating chorus girls on the stage for we include among ours the famous »l,ww Beauty Broilers.
