C TUESDAY HORNING, IUL\ 27. 1909 NO. 83 NOT RESIGNING David Henderson, M.P., Disposes of Yarn NO CHANCE FOR DAN MANN EVEN IF HE SHOULD RETIRE CONSERVATIVES OF HALTON WOULD 8ELECT SUCCESSOR FROM THEIR OWN RANKS—TRIBUTE TO B. C. MEMBER _ "There Is not 'die slightest foundation for the story sent out from Toronto that 1 intend resigning my seat in the house of commons to let D. D.Mann fo the Canadiau Northern have it," said David Henderson, M.P. for Halton, who sp-nt yesterday In Nelson. "And what is more, he continued, "even if 1 did resign Mr. Mann would not get tho seat, for the conservatives of Halton have enough good, men in their own ranks from whom to select a successor to me when the time comes to do ao, without going outside the rlding'fpr a candidate. Of course, It is said that Mr. Mann was born in Halton and tba't he therefore could appeat to the people of the county with good grace, but I may say that such a plea would not be very effective as a vote getter. As I remarked before, the conservatives have ample material from which to select a candidate when for any reason I retire." Discussing the matter further, Mr. Henderson said tha't lie was now getting up ln age, being 68 years old nnd Jt was only natural that he should begin to think of retiring for when the next election came round ha would be well over 70 and might not consider himself physically fit to undertake the work of a rigorous campaign In which case the party, of course, would have to find another candidate. He had drawn the attention of the conservatives of Halton to this aspect of the matter n't their last meeting and had advised them to be looking round for ancitluer man in case he should not be in a position to again accept the party candidature. This was absolutely the only ta-k of his retiremen ha tthere had been and , on that occasion he had intimated his intention of holding his seat during the present parliament if spared to do so. Mr. Henderson, It may be said, hns represented Halton In the house of commons since 1888 and if he sits until the close of the present parliament will have served through 2!t or 24 sessions, assording to the date of dissolution. This, he pointed out last night, would In Itself bo a pretty fair record and there was no wonder that he had come to tiling lhat the time was approaching when in the ordinary course of events he wouid have to mnlte way for some younger and more vigorous man. Mr. Henderson, who is on a trip , through the country In which he Is combining pleasure with the discharge o£ his public duties, is accompanied by Mrs. Henderson and their daughter. Mrs. (Dr.) McKeague of Winnipeg, and her daughter. They went through to Victoria, visiting also Vancouver and otner points In thhis province and are proceeding home by way of Nelson and the Crow's Nest route. Thev leave this morning on the Kuskanook and will make their next stop at Prank, where ■ Mr. Henderson has business to transact. After a short stop there they will go on to Macleod and from there to Edmonton, whence thhey will proceed direct to Winnipeg. Discussing his trip last night Mr. Henderson said that the portion of it through British Columbia had proved especially interesting and in many instances a revelation to him. He was through the province to Vancouver 19 years ago and marvelled at the many changes he had seen at the coast on the occasion of his present visit. His only misgiving with regard to what he had seen was the real estate -boom In Vancouver. There was no doubt but what Vancouver was going to be a great city but It was possible that people were at present discounting its future too freely, and that a reaction might come as had occurred in Winnipeg a few years ago. This was his first trip through this part ofi British Columbia. 'He now realized for the first time the absolute necessity for railways and transportation facilities ln this cotmtrv nnd would approach questions relating to these affecting this province in nn altogether dluerent spirit when they came up in the house of commons again. Until his ' tpresent trip he hnd thought ' himself pjretty well informed on western matters, having made a personal study of conditions in Manitoba and to a lesser , extent in Saskatchewan nnd Alberta. Now he, could go home with some idea. ■ albeit a most incomplete one. of the greatness of the province of British Col- . umbia. He was of the opinion that tf every eastern member should thoroughly familiarize himself with conditions in —e west wherein to a large extent lay the dominion's future. That was one of the principal objects of his present ttrlp. All he was sorry for was that he had not visited British Columbia frequently in the years gone by nnd familiarized himself with the situation here. Discussing politics generally, Mr. Henderson said that the five conservative members sent to Ottawa by British Columbia last fall had already made their mark and that as long as they represented this province its people could depend their Interests would be well looked after., While Messrs. Cowan, Barnard and Taylor bad discharged their duty to the full in regard to matters affecting the coast, Messrs. Good- eve and Burrell had done equally well for the interior. The showing put up by the five Conservative members had without doubt been the feature of last session of parliament and their usefulness would undoubtedly increase as time went on. With Nelson Mr. Henderson was delighted. He was surprised to fthd such a solid little city here. One thing that particularly pleased him about It was that there was no evidence of a real estate boom. There weren't real estate agents on every corner trying to load visitors up with lots of more or less doubtful value. Inquiry had shown him that there was a good, legitimate demand for property here and that while there was no boom neither was there stagnation. As the dlstrlcis around here developed Nelson would come Into her own. i "And, before you .go," said Mr. Henderson, a3 the representative of The News was leaving, "I think that it only fair to state that in all 0ur trip we have not stayed at, a more comfortable or better appointed hotel than the Strathcona, nor one where the general service was better—and we have stayed at what was considered the best in every city visited. Such enterprise deserves support." FAVORS MALE TEACHERS HEAD OF CALGARY COLLEGE EXPLAINS OPINION BOYS OVER THIRTEEN SHOULD HAVE MtN .INSTRUCTORS Rev. A. 0. MaoRae, prlne'ual of tht-* Western Canada colleBt*, a flourishing educational Institution in Calgary, bus been In the city for tlte past few days and let"' last night for the Seattle exnosltlon whence he will go'Victoria ana Vancouver, returning by way of tho main line. Discussing the methods of teaching and the schools generally In British Columliiu Rev. Mr, MaoRae stated thnt from what he had seen as lie cable through tho Crow's Nest district and while in Ktisl Kootenay nnd Nelson he had formed a distinctly high opinion of both the schoolB, the teachere mid the method of tn tion, He Gonflldm-ed that the work done by Alexander Robinson, the superintendent of education, of a very high order. With regard to Nelson particularly, great strides hud been mude sllice his visit here t.wo years ago. He was very favorably Impressed with the magnificent new building and wished to say a special word of pra's' for thos-* responsible for the plans for having constructed the building of two stories only. He thought "thut It was of the utmost importance, as a protection against accidents during possible fires or other mishaps, that no school should consist of mon* than i,vo stories. Dr. K. C; Arthur, secretary of the school bonrd, and the members 0f the board, deserved tho deepest gratitude of the citizens for the good work they hnd done for the school. Speaking of the proposed British Columbia university Rev. Mr. MaoRae said he did not know what steps had been taken towards It establishment '>'>* that he considered it of vital Importance to ihe future of the province. Owing to tha larger population nt the coast cities nnd to the gigantic distances between the coast and the In land towns he felt thai its site would certainly be nt Victoria or Vancouver. With regard to the administration of the nubile schools in Canadn ns n fc'hole Rev. Mr. MaoRae expressed himself as being very strongly in favor of letting no boys over 13 years of age he taught by any bur male teachers. Continuing, tie said: "That Is the greatest weakness In the public schools of Canada today—lb,, preponderance of lady teachers. I do not, of course, meati that they are less efflc'ent than men bttt It seems to me one of the most important principles of education for boys that they should he taught by men directly they have reached the age of 13 1 consider that some efforts should be made to build up a profession nf (male teachers Instead of letting tbe work, as It Is at present* be merely a stepping stone to other employments. In Germany, for Instance, the aristocracy of intellect is to ibe found among the school teachers, and this is due to the fact that the teachers In that country are comparatively well paid, after they have proved themselves to be suited to the work, become eligible for a pension from* the government" Rev. Mr. MaoRne mentioned that before leaving Calgary he visited the fair there and was much struck with the Kootenay exhibit, in bis opinion It was far ahead of anything of its kind at the exhibition and must have been n great revelation of tho wonderful posslhlltles of this district for tlte fruit grower and farmer *o the thousands of persons visiting Calgary during the fair. CARRIED LONGDISTANCE ALEXANDER MUIR'S BODY FOUND AT BRIDGEPORT WAS DROWNED AT PATRICK'S MILL A MONTH AGO Information has been received ln Nelson of the finding In the Columbia river at Bridgeport, Washington, a distance of lf>0 miles from Slocan junction, of tho body of Alexander Muir who was drowned ln the Slocan river on Juno 29. It will t>e remembered that ■Muir who was about 30 years of age and a native of Scotland, went out, with a comnanlon- In a boat for the purpose of freeing some. logs which had been entangled in one of the booms which were lying some distance up the river from the Patrick Lumber company's dam. Muir leaned °ut over *lio side of the boat fn order to catch hold of the boom with a pike pole but In some munner the pole slipped and he and his companion wero precipitated lido the water. Both were good swimmers and Mulr's companion succeeded In i entiling the shore. Muir, however, was carried down stream and, until tbe Information waa received from Bridgeport nothing moro was heard of him. Muir bad In bis pocket a receipt from the Kootenay Lake General hospital anil It is from this that his identification has been established. The information- received here Is in the shape of a letter which -tells of the finding of the body on Jul*- 17. An inquest was held and the body burled. Tlte provincial police hero have written the authorities at Bridgeport asking that' more detailed Informat'on he sent and It 1 snot at all unlikely1 that the body win bo exhumed and brought back to this city, in which case an Inauegt will have to be held here before burial. TOKEEPAHEAD English Government Choose Strong Policy FOUR NEW DREADNOUGHTS REGINALD M'KENNA MADE ANNOUNCEMENT YESTERDAY—FOREIGN NAVIES—MORE CANADIAN SUCCESSES AT BISLEY— KING EDWARD RETURNS LONDON, July 26—The navy camp has dgaln won the day and four additional super-Dreadnoughts are to bo added to the current year's shipbuilding program. Reginald McKenna, first lord of the admirulty, officially confirmed this in the Iiouse of commons this afternoon, Baying that after a very careful consideration of tlie ship building conditions of foreign countries, the government had com*? to the conclusion that It was desirable to take all necessary steps to Insure the laying down ofi four additional Dreadnoughts to be completed in March, 1912. Mr, McKenna went on ,to say tliat foreign shipbuilding had developed apace. Italy and Austria-Hungary, according to the ample evidence collected by the gov ernment, have each definitely commuted themselves to the construction of four battleships of the largest size and the largest type. The first lord of tbe admiralty mentioned that of the two big ships to he laid down In November the government had decided that ona should he an improved cruiser, as the admiralty had plans of cruisers more powerful and faster than the Invincible and Indoninltahle types. Mr, McKenna said that during the three' years that, the British government was doing its best to restrict the growth of the armaments, Germany laid down 11 large armored ships to Great Britain's eight. After these three years of experience he considered It to be unsafe to continue on these lines and that ihe time- had arrived lo take steps to secure British predominance on the sea. The radical and labor members protested against the increased expenditure and premier'Asquith begged them to believe that Ihe program was not introduced in the spirit of aggression but because a month's anxious deliberation had forced the cabinet to tbe co«- cinsion that the enlarged program was the only one which wllh proper regard for the safety nf fhe empire, they could honestly ask parliament lo accept.

P. R. SHOPS Raphelo Pisacretff, an Italian. ID years old, was drowned on Sunday afternoon while learning to swim. The iast seen of him wus when he left his home alter announcing his Intention of going in swimming. Some hours later his clothes were found on the bank of tho lake, at a point just behind ihe C.P.R. rounanoiise, just about where Cottonwood creek enters and about 200 yards west of the city limits. -.iBacreta, who was unmarried, has been employed as a laborer at Ihe sawmill of the Yale-Columbia Lumber company. He came to Nelson about two years ago from Italy and has twip brothers residing in the city. Shortly after noon on Sunday he left his residence near ihe gas winks slitting that ho was going down to the river tn take his iirst lesson in swimming alone, an accomplishment which he had long heen desirous of attaining. Nothing more was heard of blm until shortly before -1 o'clock when a man named E. A. Travers who was passing the place where tbe deceased had apparently stripped off his clothes and entered the lake saw the clothing hung up In a tree and. thinking tbat the unfortunate1 man might have found the water too cold at that point nnd had changed his quarters, stayed there some 20 minutes when the conclusion forced Itselfi upon his mind thnt a fatality had taken place and he decided to notify the police of what he had Been. Coming up town he located constable Reid who immediately went to the scene. On arriving there he found provincial eons- table Jensen who had, in the meantime been notified of the occurence by another passerby nnd who wns Investigating the matter. Constable Jensen, after making enquiries had Immediately come to the conclusion thnt the man must have been drowned and had deckled to grapple the lake for the body. Me proceeded In remove the clothing which consisted of a pair of trousers, shirt, shoes and stockings and also a towel, the deceased not having worn a coat or hat -hen going down tn the river nn account nf Ihe comparatively short distance he had to go to reach the water. Tn one of Hie pockets he found the stun of $-1.70. Leaving constable Reid op (lie scene he went un to the provincial police olifiee in the court house lo obtain grappling hooks, taking with him tlie deceased's clothes. During his absence a hoy named Chester Hensley, 12 years of nee, who wns oitf In a boat, saw ihe hodv at a point, ns near as can lie judged, 20 feet from the shore, tn about six feet of water and on Ihe bed nf the lake. Tie no- tfjled 'ihoRp on shore nnd two friends of the deceased who had by this lime arrived, brought 'he body to the hank. where It was carefully wraped In blankets and allowed to remain awaiting developments, nonstable Jensen on returning, immediately notified coroner W. O. Rose who, directly on Ihe conclusion of the Oulten Inquest went to the scene. He exnmlne'' the body nnd pronounced life to have heen extinct for about two hours. In the face of the evidence adduced which proved beyond a rensonabte doubt that the deceased had met his death accidentally, cordner Rose decided that no Inquest was necessary. The body was therefore removed to Ihe undertaking parlors of the Standard Furniture com- pany to awnlt burial. CITY ENGINEER Matter Was Definitely Set- lied Last Night HANDS IN RESIGNATION G. C. MACKAY IS AT PRESENT IN CHARGE — VERNON STREET NARROWING—CITY SOLICITOR'S REPORT—PROGRESS OF NEW CEMENT SIDEWALKS At the meeting of Ihe city council hist night a letter was received from E, E, Coley resigning his position as cily engineer and it was slated by the mayor that G. C. .Mackay had been taken on for one month's trial front Tuesday last and that the hitter had since that date been superintending the city construction work. The question of the narrowing of Vernon street in response to a petition fro mthe residents on that thoroughfare was again brought up and and a letter was read from the city solicitor in which Mr. Johnson gave it as his opinion that the city had no legal right to grant the request without special legislation from the provincial legislature. There were present the mayor nnd aldermen .McMorris. Hale. Steed, Kerr, Kilby and Matthew, The minutes of the previous meeting having heen read and adopted a letter was read from E. VX Coley with regard to the mailer of retaining walls; as io whether they should lie built on the street or on the property of Ihe person owning the lot in front of which the sidewalk was being built, Mr. Coley pointed out that he had considered that the property owners had a right to choose whether the retaining wall should be built on. his property or on tlie city's and with the exception of two eases the walls had been built on the lots. The mayor thought that this matter of the retaining walls should he dealt with. On Silica street Iho walls were far from uniform. After some discussion It wns decided that the retaining walls should he placed on the streets uniess the city council decided otherwise. * - fl ' Tbe mayor stated tha! he had on Tuesday morning engaged O. C. Mackay for one month on trial as city engineer and that since that time Mr, Mackay hnd been In charge of tha construction work. It was moved by Aid. Matthew, seconded by Aid. Kilby and passed that the resolution passed on the previous week asking Mr. Coley for his resignation as city engineer be rescinded. A letter from Mr. Coley resigning his position was then read and it was moved by Aid. McMorris. seconded by Aid. Ken* that Mr. Coley's resignation be accepted and that the city council he instructed to supply the late city engineer with recommendations, The following reort on the progress of work during the past week from Mr. Mackay was then read and adopted: "Cenieiil SldewalltsThaf portion of Uie sidewalk on the east side of Ward street between Baker street and the postoffice has heen completed and will soon lie open lo traffic on or about Wednesday next. All of the retaining wall necessary on the south side of Baker street between Ward and Stanley, is completed and two-tthlrds of the curb has been reset, to the proper grade nnd alignment. The necessary filling is being done prior to putting In concrete. "There has been a clight delay owing to a shortage of cement, but a carload arrived today and six more ears are expected within the next two weeks. This should obviate further delay from this source. "A culvert Is being sntistructed at the west end of Vernon sheet and the surface ofi the road Is being made up with gravel. The various transfer companies of the city kindly donated one tram one day each for Hits work and contractor Burns is loading these teams with gravel free of cost to the city. "Grading work is being proceeded with on Mill nnd Ward streets, tho earth from Ihe school grounds being used for the purpose." The following tetter from the city solicitor with reference to the petition from some residence on Vernon Btreet tliat the road should be narrowed, was nlso read: At the request of tho mayor I have looked Inio the question of 'the powers of your body In respect to the petition of properly' owners on Vernon sireet in Ihe city, suggesting 'that* you narrow Vernon street to make Its width uniform witli other streets in the city 'and that such part thereof may lie narrowed ot* eul off or conveyed by the city to those owners of Ihhe contiguous lands in consideration oi] such owners defraying the cost of cement sidewalk for the entire length of the street. 'By section 42 of the Municipal Clauses act the possession of every street .or other highway in the municipality shall he vested in the municipality. "As you arc aware the city of Nelson fin so far as lot fl.1). group I., Kootenay district is concerned) wns laid out hy the government of this province "Wltli the C.P.R. compnny and by them Vernon street was dedicated to tin public. "There Is n well established maxim In law. 'Once a highway, alwny:** a highway.' for the public cannot release their rights nnd there is no extinctive pre- sumntlon or prescription. "By section 142 of section 50 ofi the act you have power to pass a bylaw for 'altering roads or streets,' and by section 108 of the same section you have power to pass a bylaw - disposing of a public street or highway In exchange for adjacent rotocniland stree exchange for adjacent or contiguous lands expropriated for the purpose of Improving any public street or highway. "This subsection in my opinion only gives you power to exchange streets for adjacent lands which might be necessary for the purpose of Improving a street, but I find nothing in the statute which gives you power to dispose of a street or a portion of a street which you may have closed, and receive in exenange anything oilier than lands. "I can only suggest that nn application might be made to the legislature at lis next sitting to give the elty power to deal with Vernon street as It saw fit hut the cost of such application would have to he considered and I think should properly he borne by tiie petitioners." The letter was filed. In a letter from Ronald S, Prase)', a complaint was made concerning his dismissal from tho position of timekeeper. in which he had been employed in connection with (he cily construction work Mr, Mackay explained that Mr, Fraser was a strong, well built man and well able to use a pick and shovel. Up had dismissed him from the job of timekeeper because he knew another man. a crip'e, who was quite Incapable of any hard work. Me had offered Mr, Fraser a position wllth it pick and shove!. The pay in each case was the same. He thought thai It was only ait*'to give such jobs as that of timekeener to men who were not physically fit for harder work. The thought Mr. Mackay's principle was an excellent one, On motion of Aid. Kerr, seconded by Aid. Steed, the letter was ordered tn he filed and Mr, Mackay was asked to give a letter of recommendation to Mr. Fraser, Allien Bunker In a letter addressed "io the council asked that some rent should ho paid him for the use of his lots.

Tile mayor stated that the city was fn possession of a letter In which Mr. Smith agreed to lake $1120 in full settlement of his claims. After some discussion tbe letter was referred to ihe city solicitor and ,eft over until (he next meeting of the council. The mayor brought up the question ofi the city water mains connecting with the C.P.R. wharf. There bad been considerable discussion for the past two years as to how much* Mi'wfsi^vay company should pav for the use nf the water. Thev now offered $2fi per month. staling that they only required it for purposes of protection against fire. The mayor was given full power to deal with the matter on this basis of payment. R, A.

At Spokane—Aberdeen ",, Spokane 5, MUIR WILSON IN NFLSON TWICE UNIONIST CANDIDATE FOR mTTERCLIFFE ..DIVISION ..OF SHEFFIELD PAYS VISIT TO THIS CITY IN COURSE OF TOUR OF CANADA There arrive! in Nelson lasi evening Muir Wilson of Sheffield, England, otid ot" Joseph Chamberlain's larilf reform lieutenants, who is visiting Canada ;i second time as a tarlffi reformer, He has been Intimately associated with this movement for some year*-* and lias twlcs contested the Alierclil'fe division of his native city as a tariff reformer and ban made great progress for the conservative and tariff reform cause In a constituency which has always been true 'lo liberalism. Mr. Wilson's policy briefly Is perfect free trade between the mother country and all her dependencies with a tariff of retaliation against foreign countries including the United States in respect to goods manufactured or produced In tho mother country or the colonies and all raw material nnd food firom nup- country. He is strongly in favor of tlie "AH Red" route advocated by lord Strathcona. His policy in regard to both these matters ho considers offers the best means of finding employment for the masses of the hVitlsli isles. His proposals as set forth by him aro as follows: To bring the colonies into closer touch with the mother country by the "All Red" route and by arranging pref-' erentlal tariffs with them. To Impose on imports from tbe I'nited Stares and every other foreign country tariff duties on all manufactured goods coming Into the British isles which can he produced there or in any of the colonies and a!s0 on all luxuries. To impose a tariff on.foodstufN or raw material Imported Into the British, isles from any country. The result of a policy of this kind Mr, Wilson thinks would be lo put new iil'e Into British industries and so sup- lily tlie work for which many laboring men are at present looking for In vain. Concerning the "All Red" route, Mr, Wilson says further: By the All Rod route is mean tho British hlghwny between Croat Britain, New Zealand and Australia by way of Canada along which tho objective point shall be entirely in English territory or under British control. The proposition now under consideration is to take advantage of that route and to provide rapid communication for malls and passengers between the motherland and these dominions beyond the sen.- and utilising In Canada the transcontinental lines and on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans steamers whose speed and accommodation shall lu* of the hesi and most up to date character. The following arc the advantages of the proposed route: "1. The service would Improve the communication between ibe I'nited dotu and Canada and enable mails and passengers to be conveyed between tha two countries more rapidly than at present. "2. It would draw a certain portion of Canadian travel which now passes bv way of New York hack to its proper channel and by its geographical advantages and quicker service to the United States secure many American passengers and some of the mail traffic to western points. 3. It would provide a fpster service than at present to New Zealand and Australia., saving at least It) days to the former and two days to the latter. "1. It would utilize an alternative- route to the east possessing natural advantages whicli have not been properly utilized. "5. It would strengthen Croat Britain's position In the Atlantic and furnish additional armed cruisers to nld in keeping the route open in time of war. "6. It would asBlst Croat Britain in retaining the control of the Pacific trade which may pass out of our bands if the route is not utilized, "7. It would provide armed cruisers on the Pacific. "S. It would bo available for the conveyance of troops and supltes io the east and be less liable to interruption than any other route. "9. It would bring (be different countries Into closer touch with each other and help Hie consolidation of ihe empire. "10. It. would be provided at the cost of the different parts of the empire ami not. fall entirely upon one or another. "ll. li would supplement the Pacific cable to Australia, which is under jont government control. "12. It would Btipplemenl other steamship mules and could nont fall to assist the commercial expansion of the dlffierenl pans of the empire as well as lead to extra travel. Aeronauts Decorated PARIS.

McMORRIS Manager THE TEACHING PROFESSION In an interview published in this morning's issue of The Dally News Rev Dr. McRae, president of the Western Canada college of Calgary, strongly supports the view expressed by Prof. Adam Shortt in his receirt address before the Canadian club of this city, that every effort should he employed to make teaching a separate profession. especially for men, instead of. a stepping stone for Something better. Dr. McRae emphasizes the necessity for Having male teachers for all hoys over 13 years of age, hut there arc many who Will take the view that It would he better to have male teachers for boy.-; at an even earlier age. He that as it may, Dr. McRae is right in his main contention that mon should be encouraged to take up teaching as a profession. ln this connection it may be said that this is the very policy that has heen introduced in British Columbia by Hon. H. E. Young, minister of education. Dr. Young has announced that as a first step in tbis direction the government Is going tu provide for increased -salaries flor school teachers and Is also going to give teachers the benefit of the civil service superannuation measure which the government proposes introducing. This is directly in line with the policy which Dr. McRae says Is followed in Germany, which has one of the most advanced educational systems in the world, and of which he heartily approves. Iu regard to tills matter, as in others, the government lias shown that il is keeping pace with tbe spirit of the times. The benefits of the policy which it is inaugurating in regard to educational matters may not be seen by some people ut the present time hut the com- ing generation will realise its advantages and will admire the statesmanship winch prompted its adoption. EDITORIAL NOTES At last a man has successfully negotiated the English channel In un airship. What would Napoleon Bonaparte have given to have lived In these days. He might have attempted by air what he could not accomplish by water, an Invasion ofc England. The London, England, Mining Journal, one of the oldest and most conservative publications of its kind in the world, recently came out in a greatly improved form, being changed to what is known as tlie standard trade magazine size and being otherwise brought more in keeping with modern ideas.

Lots of men, and women too, are limping about the house—groaning in easy chairs—or tossing about the bed— because of that nagging pain in the back.

Terrible Effect of La Grippe How many people there arc who know fronTbitter experience the evils which follow in the tra n of La Grippe I The whole s.stem is run down, appetite entirely fail*,, there ii a co linu-1 deling of languor and weakness, and life seems scarcely worth living. In many cases the lungs are attacked, and the victim gradually d.clines, until prematurely carried off by the dreaded "white plague." What would not tne suffe er give to know of n SURE remedy-o( some medicine that would not enly arrest the disease, but build up the wasted sy-tem, and restore perman n'ly the lost hfalth and strength: in a word, give new life nnd hope? SUCH ATONIC IS PSYCHINE. Mrs hope (n-ia Cattle-, of Morpc h, writes: "My lungs were in a terrible state, I h <d haa La Grippe, aud it had settled on my lungs. I kept stcidily getting worse, and got so low thai I was confined to bed, and could not even sit up. 1 consul ed several do tors, but they said Nothing could be done for me. Then I started taking PSYCHINE and it has certainly done wonders.

IS RAPIDLY EXTENDING CANADIAN NORTHERN RAILWAY'S WONDERFUL PROGRESS FIVE THOUSAND MILES IN OPERA TION OR BEING BUILT The announcement thai Messrs Mac* Ken-iii- and Maun arc to link Niagara and Ottawa with a new railway is the most important development in transportation circles lor many a day, says the Toronto News. The Canadian Northern is to lay down tracks across southern Ontario from the great cataract around the head of lake Ontario and through Toronto, Port Hope and Belleville to u.e dominion capital. The money for a portion of Ihe undertaking is In hand and con si met ion work begins shortly. When Borne months ago Mr. Mackenzie came to the rescue of local capitalists by taking over control ol' Ihe Electric Development; company he secured the right ol' way for his railway between Niagara and Toronto, The Hue will follow the Development company'-; power line. The Mackenzie-Mann transeontlnenlal takes form rapidly. The Toronto to Sudbury line Is to be extended nround the north shore of lake Superior by a route now pretty well located to a junction with the company's western lines at Port Arthur. Thus will be bridged the great gap between the Mackenzie and Mann system tn Old Ontario and Quebec and the Mackenzie and Mann ■system extending west trom Thunder Hay to and through Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. There will stiil remain the problem of linking the Iin33 In Nova Scotia with those in Quo-liec bv a line across New Brunswick, and aiso tbe extension of the Alberta trunk road across British Columbia lo the Pacific const. There Is something yetto be done but a great deal has been accomplished since the company's directors met ut Port Arthur seven or eight years ago to drive the last spike In the line between that lake port and Winnipeg. Throughout Canada today the Mackenzie and Mann interests have approximately 4457 miles of completed road In operation. Within a month or two the Ottawa-Hawkesbury and the Gameail Junction-Quebec roads will be giving a regular service. This \\1lll bring tho length of operated track up to 1502 miles. There are besides under construction In the Canadian west a considerable mileage. This y.-ar's program includes a 50 mile extension of the branch from Rossburn, Man., westward to connect with the Staska'tchewan-C-il- gnry through route. From Oak Point, Man., an extension is helng built towards ihe west shore of lako Winnipeg, From Halboro 70 miles of road are being constructed in a westerly direction through central Manitoba. Tbe Green- way-Wakopa branch is 'being lengthened 12 miles along the southerly boundary of tbe same province. Tbe St. Rose de Lac extension of 12 miles and the Marvfioid extension of 125 miles are included in this year's program. More nnd more does the Canadian Northern svstem in the oldest provinces resemble ii spider of which Winnipeg is tbe body and tbe numerous branch lines the far reaching legs. In Saskat- eh'ewfln the Goose lake branch of which CO miles are already In operation, is being extended for 55 miles further towards Calgary. Thirty miles of new road through a fine farming country will form a convenient cutoff from Prince Albert lo Battleford. Tn addition 100 miles of road are peton" hull! toward the Pence river country, Rltrhtv- nine miles of the Hudson Bay line from TSrwood to Pass Mission will be completed thlB autumn. Altogether the Canadian Northern railway's construction planB for 1909 cover 621 miles of new track.
