VACCINATION QUESTION 18 UP NELSON, B. C, TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 21. 1911 NO. 262 ever vaccinate anyone w*. ^ desired free of charge. 9t, R. A. Brown, city electrlcia. *.eport- ed that considerable difficulty was being experienced at the power plant in getting out the portion of tbe shaft of No. 2 unit which was to be teBted. The runners had become firmly secured to the shaft and it was located in a most awkward place to work in. He expected that it would be brought into town during the early part of the week. A letter from John Smallwood asking If any tax waa collected from travellers selling clothes in the city, was read. The city clerk stated that one tax of $50 had been collected this year. The letter was received and filed on resolution of Aid. Stark and Aid. Ferguson. Not Compulsory in Nelson. No Serious Danger. Library Grant. At the city council meeting last night it was decided to proceed immediately with the preparation of an adequate isolation hospital; to give a grant of $450 to the Nelson public library, and to leave the question of vaccination, raised by the order of the provincial secretary regarding compulsory vaccination at the coast, in the hands of the medical health officer. Those present were the mayor and Aldermen, Hume, Gilker, Stark, Ferguson and Madden. The finance committee recommended the payment of a number of accounts, among which was one for the eighth installment on the recreation grounds to the C.P.R., and also that the city make a grant of $450 to the public library. The recommendations were adopted unanimously on motion of Aid. Stark, chairman of the finance committee. This sum of $450 is to be paid in quarterly installments as In previous years. Isolation Hospital The mayor brought up the question of the Isolation hospital by calling attention to the recent order by the provincial board of health issued by Hon. Dr. H. E, Young, provincial secretary, that vaccination be enforced at the coast cities. The mayor stated that Dr. Hartin, medical health officer for the city, had received a letter from Dr. Fagan ottho provincial hoard of health suggesting that vaccination should be carried out as generally as possible In Nelson. As the council knew, said his worship, the order for compulsory vaccination had been met by vigorous opposition from the Anti-vaccination society at the coast. This question, he contended, brought up that of the isolation hospital. For the past three years the city bad been supplied only with what at best was a temporary building. The matter was one of vital Importance to the citizens generally and especially to some of the larger hotels. One or two of these had brought the matter to his attention, pointing out the serious consequences that might follow an outbreak of smallpox while the city was so inadequately supplied with a building in which to isolate patients. No Reason for Alarm His worship thought that there was no reason for serious alarm—the number of cases in the'province had been very much exaggerated according to the latest reports—but the city should take some measures of precaution In order to he In a position to deal with any outbreak here. At his request Dr. Hartin and G. C. Mackay, city engineer, had yesterday made an inspection of the present buildings. He would ask Mr. Mackay to report. The city engineer said that the present hospital consisted of two buildings, each 34 by 28 feet. The structures were In a very delapidated condition; the roofs were (breaking, the air passed freely through openings in the walls and the foundations in some places had given way. Dr. Hartin bad pointed out to him that the buildings were practically useless for hospital purposes and that It would be Impossible to fumigate them in their present condition. If the walls were plastered, new floors built, new windows put in and other necessary improvements made the cost would be about $1500. A cheaper plan would be to cover the walls with cloth and sanitary paper, place Bhlngles on the roof and build a new floor. The cost of these changes would be about $700, Furniture would cost $100. The mayor thought it might prove cheaper In every way if smaller buildings were put up instead of making improvements to the delapidated ones. The council agreed that the city at present was running very grave chances and on motion of Aid, Hume and Aid. Gilker, it was decided that provision be made for Uie preparation of an Isolation hospital, the matter being left In the hands of the mayor and Aid. Stark. Concerning Vaccination Aid. Hume—What about vaccination? The mayor explained that Dr. Fagan's letter suggesting the advisability of vaccination had been handed to Dr. Hartin who did not think it was at present necessary to make vaccination compulsory In Nelson., The mayor suggested that it be made known through the press that Dr. Hartin would, how- MACHINISTS AND BLACKSMITHS TO STRIKE IN SYMPATHY CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 20—The strike of the boilermakerB in the shops of the New York Central railroad lines which began today has the sympathy of the machinists and the blacksmiths employed in the shops according to the officials of the bollermakers' union and within a few days it is claimed that over 2000 machinists and blacksmiths will walk out in sympathy. LIBERAL BOSS GIVES EVIDENCE Denies That He Made Money by Graft —Crowded Court Listens to Evidence. (Speclnl to The Dally News.) VANCOUVER, B. C. ,Feb. 20—Robert Kelly was the star witness before the Chinese immigration commission when the sessions here were reopened this morning. The man reputed to he the boss of the Liberal party of the province was on the stand all morning but nothing sensational developed in his testimony although the court was crowded to hear htm. Mr. Kelly dented that he had ever made a five cent piece through graft and challenged any man In the province to deny hiB statements. He admitted responsibility in part for wires to Ottawa requesting the reinstatement of Bowell and Yip On. this action being based on Information that both had been acting straight. He opposed tbe appointment of David Lew as Interpreter because be believed T. R. Mclnnes and Lew were trying to work a scheme which would divert traffic from the Orient from the C. P. It. liners to the Blue Funnel line which the witness considered to the disadvantage of the port., He declared tbat Uie Liberal executive had never to Mb knowledge attempted to burk investigation. Wang, the Chinaman, who had been sent out from New York by Ottawa of- ficIalB to give evidence, gave hearsay statements concerning the entrance or Chinese fraudulently under merchants passports. At tbe afternoon session Fung Mln, editor of the Chinese Reform Gazette said he secured a merchant's passport in 1907 under nn assumed name from Yip Yen In Hongkong. He got in at Vancouver all right as he also had a letter from Yip Yen to Yip On explaining the case and stating the assumed name taken. HAVE IIS Premature Publication of Undelivered Speech.

In regard to the proposal that the government In making out Us scheme to make the Saskatchewan river navigable should co-operate with the city in Us power scheme work at Lacolle falls, the deputation said that the suggestion had been favorably received at Ottawa bv tho ministers, the extent of the cooperation cannot be determined until the engineers on the river survey have made their complete reports to Ottawa. It was reported also that the government has decided to call the national park which lies north of the river and opposite the city Nesbltt park to honor the memory fo Rev. James Nesbitt who in 1866 entered Prince Albert as the first white settler. The government has agreed to sell the city a site for the agricultural grounds at a nominal figure. FILIBUSTER ENDS WASHINGTON, Feb. 20—The long filibuster in the house waB ended today with the passage of an omnibus claims bill that does not carry the French spoliation and the navy yard overtime claims. The passage of the bill'was secured by the adoption of a rule limiting debate on any measure to 40 mln utes and cutting oft amendments. The house took up consideration of the navy appropriation bill .and went Into night BSSBtOP. In the senate speeches were made by Senators Nelson and Weyburn on the resolution looking to popular election ot senators though no vote was reached. Eulogies of the late Senators Daniel, ot Virginia and McEnery of Louisiana, took most of the time. OTTAWA, Feb. 20—This was private members day in the commons and a rather poor bill of fare was dished up to a thin house. After a few preliminaries which were marked by an amusing incident caused by the premature publication in Winnipeg of one of George Bradbury's speeches, the house settled down to a long discussion of winter service between (Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. At least a few of the members did, the majority spending the day anywhere but In the house, Late in tbe evening H. H. Miller moved for an investigation by the government Into the large number of railway accidents, He pointed out that last year one trainman in every 199 was killed and one in every 35 injured. Regulation of Hours Mr. Miller proposes that Canadian employees should be given a legislative regulation of hours so that, like their brothers in the United States, they would never bave to work more than 16 hours. He would also have a medal given for bravery in wrecks or on other occasions in connection with railway operation and finally he would give Canadian Inspectors of railways power to prosecute neglect in case of wreck or accident. These powers the American inspectors have. . Hon. G. P. Graham, minister of railways thought tbat Canada was moving steadily towards better railways and better management. He mentioned recent improvements in the way of more money spent for protection, heavier rallB, less level crossings, more double tracks, more interlocking switches and more safety devices of all kinds. Mr. Miller expressed a willingness to withdraw the motion but Dr. Sproule who desired a vote, objected. Sir Wilfrid said that if Mr. Miller was not al lowed to withdraw, he would move the adjournment of the debate. Fortnightly Payment Just before the house rose the bill of Martin, Montreal, providing for fortnightly payment of employees of railways, was given a second reading, passed through the committee stage and now stands for a third reading. George iPerley, chief Conservative whip, expressed dissent, but Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that, if tbe railways had any objections to offer taey would be given a hearing before a third reading. Mackenzie King on behalf of Mr. Graham stated that the minister of railways approved the bill, which promises to bring the pay envelope to railway em ployees twice a month in future. An Undelivered Speech On a question of privilege Hon. Frank Oliver drew the attenUon of the house to a report of a speech by Mr. Bradbury on the St. Peters Indian reserve, whlcn appeared in the Winnipeg Telegram on Feb. 18 and his own.reply thereto. The minister said he was reported as having replied to Mr. Bradbury's effort with a tirade of abuse and with general denials, but that he did not produce a tithe of evidence to sustain hie denials, Mr. Oliver said that he had no objections to a newspaper reporting a speech which Mr. Bradbury did not deliver, but he did object to the Telegram attributing to him remarks he had not made. Mr. Bradbury said that he had been unfortunately the victim of circumstances. He expected to get an opportunity to bring up the question of the St. Peters Indian reserve and had given a representative of the Telegram a summary of what he proposed to say and it had been prematurely published. Mr. Bradbury said the criticism of Mr. Oliver was in reference to a speech the minister had made in the house laBt summer and which was a tirade of abuse, He observed that he was not the only man who had been the vlcUm of such an occurrence. He had reason to believe that the minister ot railways had had a similar experience. (Laughter.) Mr. Oliver, good naturedly, observed that he thought It was going a little too far to have reported not only what Mr. Bradbury proposed to any, but what he had said In reply. The Incident closed with general laughter in whloh Sir Wilfrid Laurier and R. L. Borden joined, When private hills were being con sldered Alex. Haggart, Winnipeg, objected to tho name of the Security Trusts Corporation, whose bill is being, promoted by Mr. Martin of Regina, on the score that it would be confused with the Security Trusts Company of Winnipeg. Mr. Martin said that the word Security had heen used for two years In Saskatchewan by the Security Loan company, a forerunner of the proposed company. He offered, however to add the words "of Canada" In order to make distinction. Hon. Mr. Fielding suggested that the bill be sent back to committee and this was agreed to. In reply to Dr. Sproule the prime minister stated that he had not yet received the text of the new treaty affecting pelagic sealing In Bering Sea. Dr. Reld, Grenvllle read to the house a letter by Governor Dlx of New York state, published in a paper regarding the Long Sault bill now before congress, In which the writer suggested that a hydrographlc survey be made of the locality before any legislative action ia taken. This was necessary In view of the superior rights of navigation In the St. Lawrence channel. Sir Wilfrid Laurier did not think It was necessary to bring this phase of Uie question before the British ambassador at Washington who was undoubtedly cognizant ot it. SUPREME COURT GIVES DECISIONS Important Pronouncements Regarding Interstate oCmmerce Are Issued at ashington. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20—Not for years havo so many far reaching principles relating to Interstate commerce been approved by the supreme court o,f the United States as are established in Its decisions today as the unquestioned law of the land. Decisions on a .number of difficult questions were nnnounced. Among the questions of interstate commerce were: That- the passenger has no right .to buy tickets with services, advertising, releases or property, nor can the railroads buy services, advertising, releases or property with transportation. That a state law regulating the size of crews on trains within' the staters not an obstruction to interstate commerce but is rather enacted in aid of Interstate commerce and may be passed by the state for the purpose of safety. That the supreme court may review tbe validity of an order by tbe interstate commerce committee, even though the two-year limitation of the life of the order has^ expired. That a railway system may not escape regulation as an Instrument of interstate com* merco because one of Its constituent parts is a wharfage company and its dominating power over the wharfage company rests in tbe fact that It is a holding company. Thnt the Interstate commerce commission does not possess the power to reduce a rate as unjust and unreasonable, merely because the rate is inequitable under some circumstances, as in cases where railroads induce shippers to enter a field by offering rates as low as to be unremuneru- tive and later increase the rates. The court furthermore decided as constitutional p. state statute providing that no contract of relief benefit or Insurance should be a bar to the right of a railroad employee engaged In tho operation of a railroad to sue the employer for the damages arising from injuries received In the course of his employment. Stove Case Dismissed. The mayor and several councilmen of Clay Centre, Kansas, were held In contempt, but excused from punishment on payment of costs, because they destroyed the subject matter of a litigation matter- before the supreme court after its decision was announced, but before Its mandate had been Issued or time given for a motion for reappearing. Tbe famous boycot case brought In the local courts by the Buck Stove & Range company of St. Louis against the American Federation of Labor, was formally dismissed. The officials of the Naval Stores company were granted a review for conviction of alleged violation of the Sherman Anti-trust laws. EXPECT LIVELY FIGHT ON SHIPBUILDING PROGRAM WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 20-The nnval appropriation bill was considered at great length In tbe bouse during an afternoon nnd night session today, and practically nil the provisions of tbe measure were agreed to with the exception of tbe new building program which will come up tomorrow nnd is likely to precipitate a lively light. The bill provides for two bnttlesblps of the super-Dreadnought type, carrying 12 H-inch guns; two fleet colliers; eight torpedo boat destroyers, and four submarines. An attempt will he made both to decrease and increase this program, but the committee believes it has enough votes to carry it through. « FEBRUARY 21, 1911 • • Coupon No. 2 • • This coupon, with one from • • each ot the other issues of Tbe • • Dally News of the week ending, • • February 25 and L0 cents, en- t • titles the holder to a photo- • t gravure reproducUon of Fred • • Morgan's picture, entitled "Lon- • t don Bridge Ib Falling Down." • • Coupons and money should be • • presented at Tbe Daily News • • office any time after Sunday • • next.

RECOGNITION OF SIGNAL SERVICES Will Still Give Assistance to Interests of Kootenay. Escort of Honor. (Special to The Daily News.) TRAIL, B. C, Feb. 20—Thirteen years of active endeavor In the smelting and mining Industry.and of intelligent furtherance of the interests of the Kootenay generally were fittingly recognized last night by the complimentary banquet given by his Kootenay friends, to Walter H. Aldrldge, late managing director of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company ot Canada, who retired on Jan. 1, to become identified with one of the largest mining and smelting corporations of the United States. In Swartz hall, 150 covers were laid for probably the most representative company of Kootenay men ever assembled for such a purpose and the banquet was in keeping with the occasion. Mr. Aldridge was escorted to the banquet hall by the Trail company of Boy Scouts and the Trail Citizens band nnd his arrival was the signal for a storm of cheers. Reads Address. Noble Binns, president of the Trail board of trade, waB chairman and in that capacity read to Mr. Aldridge the following address: "Mr. Aldridge, this gathering and these few expressions evidence in n simple way, the great good will which the people of the Kootenays, the men ol the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. of Canada, your associates and your friends, entertain for you. In retiring from the active direction of the mining and smelting Interests which have been In your charge for the past 12 years, the sentiment, is general that, not only the mining districts, but the whole province of British Columbia is losing a capable, conscientious and faithful advocate of the country's welfare. "The desire to show recognition of the signal services you have performed In the development of the vast and varied resources of the province does not constitute the only motive for admiration nnd respect. Consistency of character and a uniform regard for the welfare of employees, coupled ever with evidences of fairness, courtesy and highminded principles have commanded a confidence and esteem which promoted the pleasantest relations and insures for you always the kindliest recollections. In the success of all engagements and the achievements of every ambition you have the earnest and cordial following of a host of well wishers who appreciate you as an executive, admire you as a citizen and honor you as "a man." Will Still Assist. "Mr. Aldridge" in replying expressed regret in parting from his friends of the Kootenay but stated that while the interests with which he was now associated must command his time and efforts to a very large degree, he would still give tiie interests of the Kootenay his assistance wherever possible. All toasts were proposed by the chair. The list and toasts and responses were as follows: The King nnd the president of the United States, responded to by God Save the King, and America; our honored guest, \V. H. Aldrldge; Canada, J. II.

WANT GOVERNMENT TO CANCEL CLAUSE OF AGREEMENT REGINA, Sask., Feb. 20—C.P.R. tax exemptions again occupied the attention of the legislature today, discussion arising from the resolution referring to Ottawa the resolution recently passed by the house urging the abrogation of C.P.R. tax exemptions. Mr. Haultaln in the opposition resolution ■aid that he for one refused to go on record as asking the Dominion government to cancel the clause in Uie contract duly and legally entered Into with Uie C.P.R. Premier Scott in support of the resolution claimed that what the house was asking was that steps be taken with a view to cancellation of the objectionable clause. This he claimed could be done by negotiaUons between the government and the railway company or by any other means which might suggest itself to the Dominion authorities. All that the house was concerned with was that Uie objectionable exemption should be removed at the earliest possible moment.

The Piano Superlative INDIGNANT AT LACK OF CONSIDERATION BROKEN LOG BOOM CASE REACHES END His Lordship Reserves Judgment After Lengthy Hearing—Divorce Action up This Morning The Buit of A. E. Watts vs. the W. E. Cooke Lumber company, an action for about $18,000 claimed for the loss of a portion of a boom of logs, came to an end- in the supreme court last night at a few minutes before 0:30, his lordship reserving his decision. The case for the plaintiff was finished as far as the examination of witnesses was concerned, at 1.30 and the rest of the day was given up to the witnesses for the defence and to arguments by counsel. The long sittings were enlivened by frequent passages at arms between the opposing counsel. The first witness on the stand yesterday morning was Forest Lee Orr, captain of the tug, who gave evidence as to the conditions at Proctor on June 1. He had operated booms in the river there without any great difficulty. W. Halgh-Smellic. who holds a master's papers, stated that a light breeze was blowing from the northeast on June 1. He saw the tug Anamoose on the day In question. When he first saw the boat witness could not tell where she was making for. At times she seemed to be going ahead and at others Bhe seemed to have lost control. Cross-examined Mr. Haigh-Smellle said that he thought the tug was badly handled. "When ho first saw logs they were in the form of a boom but later the tug lost its position and got amid the logs. He estimated the time elnps- lng between his first sight of the Anamoose and the appearance of the tug Hercules at about half an hour. Edward Watts, son of Mr. Watts, Sr., manager of the company at. Proctor, told of meeting Mr. Yates about May 20. Mr. Yates asked for some boom sticks and Mr. Watts, senior offered him 25 if he would send the tug Anamoose down to turn the boom of logs at Proctor around to a place where It would need less boom sticks to keep it in position. About the end of May he saw Capt. Johnson and Mr. Cooke, Jr., at Proctor. The latter told him The Above Is an Excellent Photo-Reproduction of the "Style 9" Mason & Risch $500 Piano. Five of Them Will Be Given Away in The NewsContest The Mason & Risch piano is built with skill and care. The intention in building it is to make a perfect musical Inatr i- ment. The second intention is to make it a lasting instrument The third intention Is to ma';e the case of aesthetic beauty. This last aim is musically of no importance, but of great Importance to the buyer. When Mason & Risch say that they build their pianos "with skill and ears" they mean that they put hidden good work into them. More than half the goodn^iss of a piano is bidden. Low grade and unseasoned woods cau be put together and make a presentable piano-—at first. Tho buyer that chances to he shown one of these pianos is immediately taken with its "low price" and its brightly varnished case. Soon many of these cheap pianos deteriorate and become fit for neither musical nor ornamental purposes. Mason & Risch pianos last for years and keep their own good looks. This carefully hidden work that is put Into the Mason & Risch piano, comes out in quality and tone permanency. No piona that has a poor tone can he a good piano. No piano that has a passable tone which It cannot keep, can be a good piano. The tone of a good piano 's beautiful—and permanent. Wrryita Ranchers Endorse Resolutions Denouncing Reciprocity*—Combine Pleasure and Instruction. (Special to The Dally News.) WANETA, B. C, Feb. 20—At a well attended meeting of the local fruit growers, held last, week to consider the reciprocity question, G. A.

After discussion the resolutions adopted by the fruit growers at Nelson were unanimously endorsed and much Indignation was expressed at the lack of consideration shown generally to British Columbia by the Dominion government, Amongst ids neighbors, the death, which took place in Rossland, of unthias Herman ls deeply regretted. The deceased was still a young man, but had been In bad health for a considerable period and was this winter under the care of doctors both in Nelson mid Rossland. Hard working, obliging and unassuming the late Mr. Herman was liked and respected by all. J. P. Vroom, customs officer, was down in Xorthport on official business last Tuesday. Mrs. A. J.

He saw the snub line break. It was only an Inch and a half rope. The tug did not come into contact, with it. The wind and the current were responsible for the mishap. With the assistance of the Hercules the Anamoose had saved about half of the logs in the boom. Later during the day the Cooke Lumber company's tug had picked up an additional 211 logs. Under cross-examination Capt. John- bod said that he had accepted his orders on the morning In question from Mr. Cooke. The piles which the tug knocked over on the afternoon of May 31 were very Insecurely fixed In the ground and it was impossible to get past without touching them. It was a nice calm morning when the tug first went out on the morning of June 1 but the wind soon arose. The tug was at all times free of the boom. W. W. West, captain of the tug Hercules, owned by the Yale-Columbia Lumber company, told of leaving Nelson with two empty barges In tow hound for Ainsworth. The Hercules arrived at Sunshine bay about 11:5 that morning. A strong wind was blowing up the river. At Sunshine Bay witness saw the Anamoose and the logs strewn acrosB the river. He gave assistance at the request of Mr. Watts in getting in the boom which was Intact as far as the outside logs were concerned. The size of the boom was from 300,000 to 350,000 feet. Regarding the storm Capt. West Baid: "It was the biggest one we had experienced for some time." It was his opinion there were too many boom sticks for the number of logs contained In the boom, which was broken up. The boom was consequently loosely made up witll the result that It would "belly out" when being taken down stream. "It would not be safe to handle such a boom," said the witness when asked what would happen If an attempt were made to take It out from the position where It lay on the morning of Juno 1.. He did not think the Anamoose was capable of handling the boom if it once got out of hand under such conditions ns ruled on the morn lng in question. About 2 o'clock the wind changed so that it blew the Anamoose ashore on the south side of the lake, said Capt. West under cross-examination, E. J. Cooke told of meeting Mr. Watts at Proctor on May 29 and making arrangements to obtain some boom sticks. On May 31 Mr. Williams went with the No ques- boom had to be moved. Witness car-[tion of moving any boom was brought ried out the request and also showed him where the boom sticks lay. He sent Tom Williams to assist Mr. Cooke. Later witness and hiB father rowed up then. While they were getting out some boom sticks from among some lumber near some piles Mr. Watts, Sr. appeared. Witness then asked the over to the Anamoose and assisted the plaintiff about the boom which be bad boat crew in order to prevent damage to some piling into which she had run. He told of the happenings on June 1. First he saw the Anamoose working at the boom. The next, time, after witness had been in the mill for a while, he heard was to he moved. He said he would like witness to move it around. He had heard nothing about this boom until Mr. Williams or Mr. Watts, Jr., he did not remember which, hnd mentioned it to him that afternoon. After saw the tug on top of the boom. The describing the operations in connection crew of the tug did not make any attempt, to pull tha boom into the hay which might easily have been done. Under cross-examination witness said that he had not seen the Anamoose previous to May :!1. On that date he aBk- ed the captain if the tug were capable of the work. The reply had been that she had towed a big boom down from tho Lardo river. Witness explained to tho captain the manner In which the IC.P.R. boats had handled booms at Proctor. This closed the case for tbe plaintiff. Defence Opens D. R, Yates was the first witness called for the defendants, He was acting as manager for the W. E. Cooke company last May, hut ls now living in Lethbrldge, He told of visiting Mr. Watts about the end of May and asking him for the loan of some boom sticks. The first thing witness knew about the broken boom was when he received a letter from Mr. Watts saying that some of his logs had been loBt and that, the writer would hold the Cooke company responsible. The logs he had agreed to move were near the piling to the right of the house and he had not agreed to move the boom which was ultimately broken up. CrosB-examined witness recognized tiie government experts.

He denied that he had promised Mr. Watts to return the next day to assist in collecting more of the logs. S. Houle, who was accountant for the Wattsburg Lumber company, said that the cost of the logs In the boom was $5.50 per 1000 feet. They were purchased from the Proctor Lumber company. The great bulk of them were placed In the pond In the spring of 1903. Cross-examined Mr. Toule sold that part of the boom of logs had been sold after June 1 to a Nelson mill at $8 per 1000 feet. A. E. Watts was recalled. He said that It waB impossible owing to the height of the bank and water for Mr. Yates to have seen the boom from his, witness' house. The argument of W. A. Macdonald, K.C., counsel for the defence, occupied a trifle over 40 minutes and dealt with all the chief points at Issue. M. A. Macdonald, for the plaintiff, concerned himself largely with the question of contract, arguing that the evidence of the general manager showed that a contract had been entered Into between the litigant parties.

There was no conversation as to the number of boom sticks that might be obtained from the logs near the piling. E. J. Cooke was on the tug on Juno 1 and wns in charge, tbat ls to say, he represented the company. His Instructions to Mr. Cooke had been to go down to Proclor and get some boom Bticks. He did not remember his instructions exactly. The .Anamoose had towed a boom of possiijiy 200,000 feet of logs and he thought tht the tug under favorable conditions might tow a larger boom. He could not swear that he had given Mr. Cooke specific Instructions as to the boom that was to be moved., Captain's Statement W. T. Johnson, captain of the Anamoose, told of a varied experience in sea and river navigation. He described how tho tug picked up some boom sticks from a boom near tbe mill on the afternoon of May 31. They had altogether 21 sticks but needed some moro and so went Into the mill and asked Mr. Watts, senior, If the boom were ready to be moved. Mr. Watts went nboard and told witness that he had orders from Kaslo that the tug was to shift the boom of logs around. The next morning they bulled the boom out, which was a broad one, but had to make three attempts. Then he cut loose from the boom. It was on the Instructions of Messrs. WnttB and Williams that he hnd attempted to shove the boom Into the bay on the north side of the lake. "That was a very foolish thing to try to do," said the witness.

WINNIPEG, Feb. 20—To all intents Winnipeg's curling carnival Is an item of history and with one exception the 11 cups competed for remain iu the city despite the fact that country rinks outnumbered city competitors almost two to one. The finals in all the big competitions have been played and where outside rinks competed they were almost mowed under. Manwnring, of Birtle, who worked his way down to the final of the McLaren and the Caledonian, fell twice during the day, while Finlay, of the Strathcona club, landed the big Tetley tankard and the Caledonian. Braden beat out Cobb of Mellta to win the Dingwall and then defeated Ferguson, of Hamiota in the finals of the Purity Flour. The Tuckett trophy, which was captured Friday night by the double rink from Neepawa Is the only cup to leave the city. The uniform prizes went to Ament of Seaforth. Fort William took a couple of second and third prizes in the open events. Braden of the Thistle club, who captured two open events, was the Hon of the bonsplel but all local enthusiasm is centred In the playing of Pinlay's Strathcona rink, which won the Tetley and Caledonian. Finlay played second In the Cassldy rink for half a dozen sea- sous and this was his first year as a skip. His head work and ability to shape leads surprised the pld-timers and after passing through five days of play without a defeat, he wound up by taking two eventB, cnusing the sensation of the spiel in bis defeat of Blackburn in the finals of the Tetley. While enthusiasm is rife here over the good showing of tbe local rinks, there Is also mucn regret apparent of the small margin of the prizes which left the city, as an occurrence of this nature right on the heels of the Cassidy Olean-up last year will perhaps he detrimental to the popularity of the bonsplel In the east and west.

PROSPECT OF CIVIL WAR IN PORTUGAL Relations Between Government and Navy Strained to Breaking Point— Extremists Stand Firm. LISBON, Feb. 20—The relations between the government and the navy have again reached almost the breaking point ns a result of a demand by the navy for the reinstatement and the appointment to the command of the battleship Almirante Relz of Capt. .lose Crejo, one of the naval heroes of the revolution who had been pensioned off tho active list by ' former Premier Franco, on account of his disloyal attitude. The minister of marine objects to Captain Crejo holding this command as he believes such a concession would be tantamount to placing the government In the hands of the extremists, who are supporting tiie naval officers In their demands. The navy has expressed a determination to remove the minister of marine, Amaro Azevedo Gomez by force and the minister of the interior Antonio Almeida, who is very popular, has exhausted every argument to induce the extremists to exercise patience pointing out that such a step would result Inevitably in civil war. The extremists stand firm, however.

Published at Nelson Every Morning Except Sunday, by The News Publishing Company, Limited W. G. FOSTER Manaegr TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21 RUSSIA AND ENGLAND A dispatch speaks of recent Russian action In Chlna*as a sort of demonstration that the triple entent is at an end 60 far as the relations between Russia and England are concerned. The inference seems premature. During the latter part of the Napoleonic wars, Russia was the ally of England. Before and since that time the two countries were generally more or less in antagonism. England had been the ally of Austria, of Sweden, of Turkey and of the rising power of Prussia against Russia. For this there were good reasons. It has always been England's policy to maintain a balance of power on the continent of Europe. England would bo imperilled, if not in her existence yet in her interests, If one power on tbe continent should acquire such a predominance as to compel the support of the others. For this reason, when the Spanish emperors were at the height of their power she supported France. With the downfall of the Spanish power and the growth of French dreams of control over western Europe, England became the ally of Holland, (Austria, Prussia and of any other country that would serve to hold France In check. France, on her part, supported first Scotland, and, later on, the house of Stuart against the Guelph dynasty. England supported Prussia and Austria; Russia saw In Prussia a great and possibly formidable power rising into existence on her western boundary. In Austria she saw a power which together with Turkey stood In the way of her expansion toward Constantinople. When Napoleon invaded Egypt, England became the ally of Turkey and Russia became the ally of Napoleon, for a time. When the emperors quarelled and Napoleon invaded Russia, the latter country joined the alliance against the French emperor. But the good relations with England were not permanent. The struggle with the French revolution had impressed on the monarchs of Russia, Prussia and Austria the desirability, from their point of view, of uniting to withstand Uie forces of political progress. They formed the Holy Alliance. England sympathized with the spirit of liberty and looked with apprehension to the possibility of a despotic alliance with overwhelming power on the continent. Determined to confine it to the Old World, she suggested and supported the Monro doctrine. The need for a safe route to India led her to bar the way of Russia to the Mediterranean. Russian expansion In Asia presently threatened India from the north. For a long time Russian advance through Afghanistan and to Constantinople was always a possible source of war. In this long contest the Crimean war was an episode. Then came the Russian advance in Man churia, and the danger that she should Bucceed In acquiring control over China. But all these sources of danger are now largely things of the past. English statesmanship has won all along the line, almost though not quite completely. Out of Prussia has come the German empire and the alliance of Germany and Austria. Russia's advance westward is effeotually barred. Germany will never allow Russia to acquire Sweden. Germany, Austria and the new Turkey bar Russia's way to Constantinople. England is relieved of the need of standing guard there. The Anglo-Japanese alliance and the Russo- Japanese war have made the situation safe in Manchuria. Japan will never allow Russia to dominate China. Afghanistan, where Russia once Intrigued, Is now definitely within the British sphere of Influence. At the same time, Russia has no longer the same reason for an attack on India. An attack on England would not help Russia to get to Constantinople. Germany, Austria and Turkey would still remain to be disposed of. England, too, now holds Egypt and the Suez canal Is safe. England, in fact, is no longer face to face with Russia as a hostile power. On the other hand, without the support of .England and France Russia Ib at present too weak to stand against the Triple alliance. Even with their support she did not venture to preBs her contentions at the time of the Austrian annexation of Bosnia. France, too, would be in a weak position without England's support. It is certain that Russia cannot retain the French alliance and at the same time assume a position of hostility to England. With England, France and Japan estranged, Russia would be at the mercy of Germany. She-Is not likely to put herself In that position, though she may desire friendly relaUons such as are not inconsistent with the triple entente. EDITORIAL NOTES The poultrymen are to be congratulated on the large turn out at yesterday's meeting. It was full of promise for the future of the Industry in the Kootenay. There Is, indeed, no reason why In a climate so well suited to domestic fowls of all sorts, and with a good local market for a supply much greater than at present exists, poultry raising should not be made a good source of additional income to the fruit grower. The city council has increased the grant to the public library by $100, and no doubt it would have been glad to make the increase still larger but for the pressure of other demands upon the civic treasury. The Institution is a good one and has many claims upon public support. Perhaps under an Ideal municipal clauses act. the school board would have power to levy taxes sufficient not only for the schools but for the maintenance of a free public library, and the council would be at liberty to devote all that It levies Itself to expenditures wholly under its own control and administration. Meanwhile, it does well to assist the library as it Is doing. The Nova Scotia "Lumber King" says: "I consider MINARD'S LINIMENT the BEST liniment In use. I got mv foot Liadlv jammed lately.

M.-Senator Aldrlch, chairman of the nnance committee of the .senate, has written to President Taft that he favors tne confirmation of the Canadian reciprocity treaty, Whether the letter makes promises of assistance In getting action in the senate at the present session hns not been disclosed, hut senators who have seen the letter Intimate that the senator will do all he can to aid the president In carrying his program through the senate. . The announcement that Senator Aldrlch, whose name is attached to the existing tariff act, had subscribed to the terms of the reciprocity agreement with Canada was received with great surprise in the senate, especially by tho "stand pat" senators, who have come out against the agreement on the ground that It is not in compliance with the tenets of the Repulican party on the subject of protection. Some of those senators were loathe to believe the report that the chairman of the .finance committee, who, In tariff fights, has always been found on the side of protection for every Industry, whether manufacturing, agricultural or mining, bad endorsed the president's program for freer trade With i ciiiada. • I H Xo announcement was made at the white house today in respect to the letter, and there was considerable speculation at the capltol as to whether tbe messuge would be made public. Early In the present session Senator Aldrlch was compelled to leave Washington on account of his health. He is spendinc the winter at Jekyl Island, Georgia, and although much better than when be left here, it is not likely he will he able to take any further part in tariff legislation for his service in the senate will end March 4. Threatens Big Stick Senators who discussed today the statement issued by Representative McCall, following Ills Sunday interview with President Taft, construed It to mean that nn extraordinary session of congress surely would be called hy the president in the event that the senate fulled to act on tiie agreement. There is no doubt that it lllls some senators with consternation, while some others feel that It Is only a gentle reminder from the white house that the "big stick" Is still in working order.

JOHN Bridge Across Head of Harbor Proposed—Winter Exports Valued at Ten Millions (Special to The Dally News.) ST. JOHN, N.B., Feb. 20—The Daily Telegraph gives the following estimate of the value of. building operations In St. John during the year 1911: Sugar refinery, $2,000,000; Canadian Pacific railway, $1,000,000; Partington paper mill, 5500,000; drill hall, $250,000; new theatre, Kings square, $100,000; St. John Railway company, $50,000. This takes no account of work that may be done in connection with the Grand Trunk Pacific terminals or by the C.P.R. and federal government at West St. John. There are still some who express doubts about the sugar refinery, but the company has until March 19 to begin work on the site. The Grand Trunk Pacific railway company has made further purchase ot land along the east side of the Intercolonial railway between St. John and Coldhrook, three miles out. While they have not secured a right of way for the whole distance they have options on a number of properties In addition to those purchased and the aim seems to be to secure ample space for tracks and yards leading to their terminals at St. John Harbor East, Bridge Across Harbor Besides a plebiscite on the adoption of the commission plan of government the electors of St. John will vote in April on the question whether they are willing to contribute $300,000 toward the cost of a bridge across the bead of the harbor. The ferry system Ib inadequate for the needs of the growing city, and mnny citizens favor the construction of n bridge for local and railroad trafric to the cost of which both federal and provincial governments will contribute. That the province of New Brunswick Is attracting more attention abroad Is shown by the fact that the St. John board of lrn.de has within the last few weeks received a number of letters from western Canada, asking for Information about the province and the price of farm lands. One man who has been In mixed farming in Saskatchewan for 12 years was among the enquirers, stating that he wished to come east.

The stock of the bank sold lately at $275, so that at 200 the stockholders have the Inside track. Increased working capital is made necessary by rapid expansion of its field of operations. Winter Exports The value of exports by the winter steamships from St. John thus far this season Ib over $10,000,000. Of this total more than one-third ls represented by United States products. The Import trade this season is much heavier than last, and is accounted for by the great growth of general business in Canada. The passenger traffic has also been larger, and for the balance of the season the immigrant business will tax tho capacity of the steamships.

The Pejepscot Lumber company, an American company owning extensive timber areas in St. John county, some 100,000 acres, has decided to establish small nurseries to reforest areas that are now bare of trees and also to establish the lookout station and telephone system to protect their forest from fire. The question of forestry is attracting more attention every year throughout the province, which has enormous timber wealth. The introduction by the minister of railways of a resolution providing that the federal government will, on certain stated conditions, take over and operate in sections as they are constructed the proposed railway down the St. John river valley, from Grand IFalls to St. John, increases the confidence of the people that this much needed line will he constructed at no distant date.

Feb. 20—The recent provincial estimates showing the handsome grant of $1,000,000 for the Kootenay, with the Ymir district' heading the list, is thoroughly appreciated on all sides irrespective of politics In the Creston district. The roads, trallB and bridges which will be built will be of the greatest benefit to tbe district. J. P. Berkley, government fruit packer, will give a lecture and public demonstration in the art of packing fruit on Saturday evening, the 25th inst. in the old school house. This will be the first demonstration In the art of packing fruit held by Mr. Berkley. Miss L. Cross entertained a few friends, the occasion being u surprise party at the Ctobs residence, one mile from Creston. During the evening games, dancing and music wore among the entertaining features. Rev. P. C. Hayman returned on Saturday laBt from Revelstoke where he attended the meeting of the synod. The recent order of the provincial health department regarding the compulsory vaccination of residents of the province has been taken rather seriously by many of the people of ihls district. J. A. Lidgate, formerly of Nelaon and now engaged In the real estate business in Creston is strongly opposed and has written letters to the local press in support of his contention. He also urgeB the calling of a mass meeting to discuss the matter. "* English Sparrows Creston fruit growers and citizens have a small problem on their hands to solve In the matter of the destruction of a flock of English sparrows which from present appearances do not exceed in numbers probably 25 or 30 birds. These sparrows It Is claimed, unless they are destroyed will this .spring multiply into several hundred of the feathered tribe and will then be a serious pest. It is agreed on all sides that the sparrows should be destroyed but the question is who will do the job . Mr. and Mrs. Jack McPeak returned to Creston a couple of days ago from the Nip and Tuck groun of mineral claims on Com creek. For - the past few months they have been developing this group, it Is said with good results In making the trip to town Mrs. Mc Peak walked over five miles on snow- shoes.

POULTRY SHOW HERE THIS YEAR Fowl Fanciers Hold Important Meeting —Judging by Points at Fair— Wholesale Buying. The rapid growth of the poultry raising industry and the Importance which It has already attained In this district was clearly evidenced by the satisfactory attendance at the meeting of the West Kootenay Poultry association held In the board of trade rooms last night. Over 25 were in attendance among whom were; W. S. Pearcy, president; George Horstead, secretary; T. A. Wilkinson, Ci. P. Gauser, William's Siding; J. T. Russell, 9-mile; J..H. Wilkinson, Aid. Hume, G. C. Mackay, J. E. Annable, T. Keith, A. Wilkinson, C. Johnson, J. Souson, N. M. Cummins, U. C. Tevlotdale, T. A. Wright, J. Nor- cross and'R. Burton, Nelson. One of the most important matters up for discussion was the question of holding a poultry show In Nelson. After a long discussion the association decided to make arrangements to hold a show here on Dec. 7 and 8 next. This will be the first event of Its nature that has ever taken place in Nelson and is expected to attract entries and poultry fanciers from all parts of the district. It was also decided that the poultry exhibit at the Nelson annual fruit fair, which Is held under the auspices of the association, should this year see an Innovation Inasmuch that the Judging .will be by points Instead of by comparison as formerly. The import of this Is that unless birds reach a certain standard for first or second prizes tbe honors will not be awarded. The committee In charge of this event are R. C. Tevlotdale, J. E. Annable, T. Keath, Aid. Hume, N. M. Cummins and the president and secretary. Many other subjects of Importance to poultry fanciers and breeders were discussed, Including the buying of feed and other produce in carload lots by the association and tbe question' of the advantageous marketing of eggs and poultry. Mrs. B. E. Bedwell, of 337 Pro- ▼enclior Ave., St. Boniface, Winnipeg, says \— " Soma time ago my children took diphtheria, and while attending them the poison entered a small scratch on the second finger of my left hand. This became very sore and blood-poisoning Boon set in. For months after the children were quite well I was suffering from a shockingly bad finger. The scratch was cau<iea originally oy a pin, and in itself, was not at all serious. The consequences, however, of neglecting this scratch, woro very serious to me. "When the blood-poisoning Bet In 1 tried poultices and a salve I had in the honso. TIicho, however, did not imvo tho desired e oct. Quito on tho contrary tho flngor booame more nnd more swollen and discolored. It then began to tester, and I had to call in a doctor. He lanced the finger to let ont tho pu*. and foil can imagine h iw painful tho finger wail Despite his care, however, it again festered nnd the olmmentN, linimonts, and other preparations which the doctor gave me ncemed absolutely unable to brlngaboutuny relief. "Tne doctor thereupon ad vised me t > f-o In' o tho St- Bonlfoco Honpltal. I feared I hat if I wont to the Hospital the finger would bo amputated. Wo were told of a cano similar to my own in which Zam-Ilnk had effected acure when everything «;no had failed and the doctor had said that only amputation could save the person's hand. "Wo, therefore, decided to give Zam* Bilk a trial. A supply was procured, and we commenced the Zam-Buk treatment. It only needed a fow days to show tho wisdom of this step. The blood-poisoning and Inflammation wero reduced, the pain became lem acute, and it was evident very shortly that the trouble was being reduced to a less and still leas area. Wo persevered with the Zam-Buk and in the end the festering sore was thoroughly cleaned, then healed. In under three weeks from first commencing with Zam- Buk, the finger was entirely well; and had weapplled Zam-Buk In the first place. Instead of trying ordinary preparationo. no doubt I should have saved myself hours and hoars of acute agony." All mothers should note this cue.

The election takes place early In April. The primaries are attracting a vast amount of public attention. The candidate favored by the Republican organization is John B. Thompson. Besides him the two strongest Republican candidates nre John F. Smiilski, who has long been a prominent figure in Republican city politics, and Aid. C. F. Merriman. Mr. Merriman is a professor in the University of Chicago and a writer on political science. As head of the Merriman commission he laid bare the graft in the city administration and brought about the removal of several city officials. The Democrnl ic contest brings to life again the old rivalry between former Mayor Carter H. Harrison and former Mayor Edward F. Dunne. Mr. Harrison, wbo was mayor for several terms, following in the footsteps of his father, Is again a candidate on an independent Democratic ticket. Ex-Mayor Dunne's campaign has Ihe slogan "nobody wants him but the people." Mr. Dunne is a lawyer. When mayor he made a good record. He lowered tiie telephone rates and although ho vetoed 75 cent gas, an ordinance wus passed giving the people a reduction from ?1 to 85 centB. Another leading aspirant for the Democratic nomination is Andrew J. Graham, who is the choice of Roger S. Sullivan, member of the Democratic national committee. Mr. Graham is a private banker and is credited with corporation leanings. OBSTETRICS MRS. KENNY will be pleased to receive maternity patients at her home.

It is nn old and true saying, "What is one man's meat is another man's poison." There is one tiling sure, however, much loss distress and more assimilation of the body-building elements contained in every day fond would lie experienced by people with poor 'ir impaired digestion if they would only believe what we tell them about Vinol. There Is no mystery about it or misrepresentation. Vinol simply contains the necessary elements needed to re-establish a normal comlitiim of the digestive system. There [s no need of going Into the sclen- titic reasons why—it simply does, that Is all. Thousands of genuine testimonials from reliable people prove this claim, and to further support the fact and prove our faith in what we say, wo unhesitatingly declare that any one who will buy a bottle of Vinol fur stomach disorder and malas- slmllatlon, will have their money returned without ipiestlon If they are not satisfied thai It lias done them good.
