The Mollle Gibson group of mineral claims, situated between Paulson and1 Coryell, in tbe Burnt basin district, baa just been taken over by a syndicate of Spokane capitalists, on a tbree year lease and bond, given by the owners, John B.

The group consists of the Blue Grouse, Mollle Gibson, Manchuria, Gray Eagle, and Irish Nellie mineral claims, and lies ln a dolomite forma* tlon, said to be similar to that of the Yellowhead pass, this formation being cut by a porphyry dyke. Th<e ere, in the form of a contact vein, lies between the limestone and porphyry formations, and the ledge can be traced for over 300 feet on the surface, where the ore shows, fair values. The ledge approximates tbe vertical, and is developed by a shaft 42 feet ln depth, and two tun* nels higher up on the vein, respectively 65 and 25 feet In length, all this development being on the Mollle Gibson claim. In its upper part the ledge splits into two, one being nine feet wide and the other four feet wide. The group covers the apex of the mountain and extends down both sides, and on the opposite aide from the development and above the railway, there are two porphyry dykes about 60 feet apart, the intervening space being filled with ledge matter, which carries small values. Smelting Proposition. The first named ledge has shown values ranging from |18 to |B0 in the nine-foot vein, with an average of about $20. The four-foot vein shows similar values, while assays from the shaft, below, show ore ranging in value from $16 to $210. Altogether 150 feet of depth has been obtained thus far on this ledge by the present development, which was made under a lease. Prom this 104 tons of ore was Bhlpped to the Trail smelter in 1909, which went about $25 a ton. Messrs. Singer and McNeily have also done a certain amount on the 50-foot ledge on the opposite side, making a number of open cuts. The ore consists of gold lying In quartz heavily Impregnated with iron pyrites, with a little silver, and a little copper. It Ib altogether a smelting proposition. There are also some values In the porphyry and limestone wall rocks. It is understood that the syndicate taking over the property will subject it to thorough development. The wagon road connecting Paulson and Coryell passes through the property, which is not far from the head of Christina lake. In past days the Burnt basin district was very Important from a mining standpoint, and many predict that It ls on the eve of a revival.

L. Warner and IF. M. Block, the celebrated interpleader cose which was tried ln Nelson at the fall sessions of the supreme court and Involved claims for commission which, If interpreted by the court ln the most liberal way, would amount to $37,500, a part of this being straight commission for the services of Ruthrauff, Hall & Loening of New York, in Introducing to Mr. Warner, John McMartln, the capitalist, who was induced to purchase the Mother Lode gold mine on Sheep creek, on which Messi-H. Warner and 'Black had a bond, and part ibeing a tenth Interest In the property. The involved state of the case arose from the fact that ithe original negotiations were tor the aale of the Mother Lode and Kootenay Belle properties, but Mr. McMartln refused to take the Kootenay Belle, with-the result that the defendants claim the basis of remuneration was changed In accordance with the altered conditions, while the .plaintiffs hold out for the original terms. Mr. Warner discounted his final .payment on the Mother Lode <bond, accepting $10,000 from Mr. McMartln In lieu of $25,000 later. A final payment of $25,- 000 .was due from Mr. McMartln on Jan. 1 of the current, year, to Mr. Black, and this sum, when It was lying ln the Royal Bank, the plaintiffs attached. Mr. Black, while resisting the claim, paid $5000 into court, as satisfaction of the claim for commission. His lordship directs that the $5000 be paid out of court to the plaintiffs, and that the defendant, Black, he allowed all his costs from the time his defence was filed. E. P. Davis, K.C. of Vancouver, and E. A. Crease of Nelson, were counsel for the plaintiffs, and W A, Macdonald, K.C., of Vancouver, and H. C. Hall of Nelson, were the counsel for the defendants.

These shocks caused great alarm but no damage was reported. E LICENSE IS Application of W. C. Wells Before Commissioners CASE IS ONE OF UNUSUAL INTEREST Chairman Selous Suggests Settlement But Applicant Refuses-Other Business A merciless grilling of W. C. Wells by H. C. Hall, solicitor for the Standard Furniture company and a number of other creditors of the Hume hotel, some hotly contested and occasionally fiery arguments by counsel, a protest by Mr. Hall against A. M. Johnson, city solicitor, acting as legal adviser to the board of licensing commissioners in the case and an imposing array of legal talent were the feature of the hearing of the application made by W. Ci WellB before that board yesterday morning for the transfer of the liquor license now held by G. P. Wells to himself. The commissioners, who are Mayor Selous, Phil Wade and D. C. McMorrls, granted the application with the proviso that if the action which Mr. Hall Ib bringing against Messrs. W. C. Wells and G. P. Wells should result in the appointment of an official receiver, the board shall transfer the license from W. C. Wells to that receiver. Fred C. Moffatt, representing W. C. Wells, asked to have the application for the transfer of the license of the Hume hotel from George P. Wells to W. C. Wells, granted. The latter, he said, was in possession of the hotel by virtue of a notice of assignment since Sept. 14 last. His client was also the holder of a mortgage for $32,000 dated March 28 last, upon which default had been made and there was a prior mortgage against the building for $40,000 in the interest of J. Fred Hume which was dated July 1, 1907. The first mortgage was that of Mr. Hume and the second that held by his client, W. C. Wells. The' second mortgage was now In default and Mr. Weils was in possession. Questions Solicitor's Right to Appear. H. C. Hall on behalf of the Standard Furniture company and a number of other creditors of the Hume hotel opposed the granting of the application. He also raised the point that Mr. Moffatt was not applying on behalf of the applicant for the transfer, George P. Wells. The solicitor for the applicant, he said, was A. M. Johnson who attended the sittings of the commissioners as legal adviser. Mr. JohnBon—That Is not so. A lengthy argument ensued In which Mr. Hall said that he acted for W. A. Thurman, The Daily News, Cleaver, W. P. Thompson, T. J. Scanlnn, R, B. Hay and a number of other creditors tn addition to tbe Standard Furniture company. After citing the section of tbe Municipal Clauses act 'which rules that the application for the transfer of the license muBt be made by the holder or his duly authorized agent and challenging the production of the signed application Mr. Hall asked Mr. Johnson to state for whom he was acting. Mr. Moffatt—I am surprised that my learned friend should seriously question the authorization of a brother lawyer to act. Does he wish Mr. Johnson to produce the written application? Mr. Hall—I am not prepared to take a statement. Printed forms are provided for such applications and I am confident that no general form of authorization In accordance with the act' has been used In this case. Chairman Selous—Myself nnd my brother commissioners aro alt laymen, Mr. Halt. You have put before us a somewhat complicated legal question. Ib it contemplated that we are bound to deal with legal intricacies like this? If you press the matter we will do our best but I must again point out that we are merely laymen. Mr. Hall—I am not pressing the legal point. But we must .consider the act wfilch says that a duly authorized person or agent must act. Chairman Selous—Mr. Johnson is here to act as our legal adviser. Now Mr. Hall challenges his right to act. Mr. Hall—He signed the written notice of the assignment of G. P. Welts to W. C. WellB. Mr. Johnson Replies. Mr. Johnson—It Is true that I have George P. Wells' unrevoked power of attorney. But I advised W. C. Wells some two months ago when I first heard of this application for a transfer that I could not act for either party tn a matter concerning tbe commissioners. I have not since consulted with either party nor have I done anything In connection with the application. Mr. Hall—There is Just the point Mr. Johnson has the power of attorney of G. P. Wells to act tn connection with a suit that is now pending ln the supreme court I do not think that Mr. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15 Coupon No. 2. ThiB coupon, with one from each of the other issues of The Daily News of the week ending, December 20, and 10 cents, entitles the holder to a photogravure reproduction of Edou- ard Bison's picture, entitled "La Cigale." Coupons and money Bhould be presented at The Dally NewB office any time after Sunday next. If pictures are to be mailed 5 centa must be added to cover postage. Johnson Is in a position to advise the board. Chairman Selous—The question is whether we consider Mr. Johnson a fit and proper person to advise the board. We are told that he renounced W. C. Wells' business two months ago In order to advise the commissioners. I think the position is perfectly regular. ' Commissioner McMorrls—I am perfectly satisfied to accept Mr. Johnson. Commissioner Wade—And I am. This question was then allowed to drop, Mr. Hall opening his case against the transfer of tbe license. Makes Strong Allegations. "The transaction proposed ls fraudulent," he said, "and designed to defraud the creditors. The applicant does not propose to pay anything for the license. George P. Wells gave to W. C. Wells a bill of sale which is fraudulent under the act. I am prepared to go on oath and back up these statements. This is a serious charge that I have to make against W. C. Wells and I would prefer to examine him rather than make allegations myself. If he will not consent to undergo examination I will proceed at once. Mr. Moffatt—I ask you to show me where one word in that bill of sate Is fraudulent. Mr. Hall—I just asked If Mr. WellB would undergo examination. I have serious allegations to make against a man who has been prominent in public life. Mr. Moffatt—I take grave objection. I should not be justified in allowing Mr. Wells to give evidence which (Continued on page five.)

BILL FOR PAYMENT OF MEMBERS Government Sessional gram Ambitious Pro- HOLD ELECTIONS ON SAME DAY Standing of Parties Is Unchanged—Revolt Against Referendum Policy LONDON, Dec. 14—The results in the general elections tonight leave the position of the rival parties unchanged. This is as follows: Government coalition—Liberals, 223; Nationalists, B6; Independent Nationalists, 9; Laborltes, 38; total, 331. Opposition—Unionists, 251 Coalition majority, 80. A further sign of the growing discontent among the Unionists over Mr. Balfour's management of the campaign which started in an editorial ln the Morning post, was noticed in a speech iby Austen Chamberlain at Buxton tonight. He said it was no part of, the original plan that tariff reform should be submitted to a referendum. There were great inconveniences in elections connected with putting a budget to a popular vote. He would not himself have made such a proposal. Many Unionists realizing that there la no hope of bettering their position in this election, favor a policy of negotiations. Sir Edward Clarke said the essential result of this balanced election was that there must be a conference between the parties with a view to the settlement of the constitutional question. Both the veto bill and the referendum, he declared, must go and the ibest men on both sides must endeavor (to find a solution. Election Returns Corrected returns show that Lincolnshire, Brigg division remains in the Liberal column, being credited In error as a Unionist victory. The Liberal defeat ln South Monmouthshire was more decisive than at first supposed. Following are the corrected figures: Monmouthshire, South, Herbert, Liberal, 6656; Walker, Unionist, 8658; Unionist gain. Lincolnshire, Brigg, Geder, Liberal,, 6506; Bennett, Unionist, 5637; unchanged. Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe—Jones, Liberal, 9186; Disraeli, Unionist, 6580; unchanged. Renfrewshire, West—Grelg, Liberal, 6366; Mechan, Unionist, 6082; unchanged. Yorkshire, Otley—Duncan, Liberal, 6151; Thompson, Unionist, 4982; unchanged. Abolish Plural Voting LONDON, Dec. 14—According to the Liberal Pally News, the government's program for the coming session in addition to the veto bill will include electoral reforms such as the payment of members of parliament and poss.My a bill for the holding of all elections on the same day. Government Chuckles The Morning Post's outbreak yesterday against the decision to refer tariff reform to the people whenever the Unionists should gain power has caused many chuckles in ministerial circles ■where Mr. Balfour's dramatic announcement has always been regarded as an unsuccessful attempt to "ditch" tariff reformers as well as a strategy to win elections. It Is pointed out again thac Joseph Chamberlain's letters and telegrams to the candidates practically ceased Immediately after Mr. Balfour gave the referendum pledge In Albert .hall The Libera press has no hesitation in declaring that tho opposition leader has given mortal offense to the ■most effective portion of his battalions. Tariff Reform Indlspensible In his speech at Buxton tonight Austen Chamberlain said that he had accepted the ground which Mr. Balfour had chosen for the Unionist party to fight on, but personally he never would have suggested a referendum. I am not afraid of taking tariff reform directly to the people, he concluded. Whenever the Unionist party wins, tariff reform wins. Whenever there is a Unionist government In power tariff reform, whether It be put to a referendum or not will be put on the statute books or the Unionist government will go out of power. MAY BE MERGER MONTREAL Dec. 14—The cable from London announcing the formation there of tbe Montreal Tramways & Power company with a capital stock equivalent to $20,000,000 18 suspected here to be a device resorted to by financiers now In control of the Montreal Street Railway and Canadian Light & Power company to effect a practical merger of the two concerns, unloading most of their holdings without losing control of either. TEN MILLIONS FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE Andrew Carnegie Establishes Fund for Abolition of War—England Ready to Co-operate WASHINGTON, Dec. 14—Surrounded by 27 trustees °f bis own choosing, Andrew Carnegie today transferred $10,000,000 to be voted primarily to the establishment of universal peace by the albolUlon of war and such friction as "may Impair the progress and happiness of man."

As Mr. Carnegie read the informal deed of trust announcing at length the general purpose of his gift there was prolonged applause. He then explained the incidents which inspired the gift and declared with emphasis that if the English speaking race in the United States and Great Britain once consolidated in tlie movement for peace the success of the measure in the rest of the world would be assured. That Great Britain stood ready to co-operate with this country Mr. Carnegie said he felt certain and all that was now needed was the concurrence of the president and tlie senate in promulgating the movement on behalf of the United States ROOSEVELT APPR0VE8 OF CARNEGIE PEACE FUND CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 14—-Speaking in Sanders theatre tonight Col. Roosevelt touched (briefly on the building of the Panama canal, the progress ot conservation and the movement towards general peace as typified (by the Trent fisheries decision at the Hague. Just before coming on the lecture platform tonight Col. Roosevelt learned of the Carnegie peace fund. He hailed the announcement with delight and was especially pleased with the selection of Senator Root as permanent representative of the United States at the Hague. Toward the end of hfs lecture he made special reference to the gift as providing the means of making "real progress In bringing about the result which Mr, Carneie desires. But remember," he said warningly, "that the ultimate worth depends on the good practical sense, the judgment and ability with which the men who administer tbe fund succeed in translating the theory into a condition."

Bullock-Webster, provincial government exhibition commissioner who has charge of the British Columbia fruit dlBjilay which includes many cases of West Kootenay apples and ls now belns shown at the principal old country exhibitions: For the sixth year In succession, the province of British Columbia will he represented at the Colonial Fruit Exhibition of the Royal Horticulaural society, which opens in London this year on December 1. Speaking to a representative of "Canada" at the offices of the British Columbia government In Salisbury house, Flnsbury Circus, E.C., E. Bullock-Webster of Penticton, who represents the provincial department of agriculture as exhibition commissioner, said: "This year, instead of using fruit which has already been shown at various autumn shows in Great Britain, we are installing a special exhibit Imported for tho purpose. The shipment comprises about 700 cases—one carload—and includes many specimens which won prizes recently at the biggest apple show ever held on the Pacific coast. The 17 varieties, all selected for their special keeping qualities and flavor, include the Jonathan, Wagner, Spitsbergen, Grimes Golden, Russell, Blenheim Orange, Newton Pippin and Winter Banana. The following celebrated fruit growing areas of the province will be represented: East and West Kootenay, Grand ForkB, Okanagan, Slmllkameen, Kamloops, Thompson River, Fraser River, and Vancouver Island. Canada Is Great Market. The great market for our fruit will undoubtedly be in Canada Itself," he proceeded, "particularly In the areas of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, where fruit Is" not grown. Washington territory, our great United States competitor, is barred in the Canadian market by a 30 per cent import duty, but when we send our fruit to the British market we have to compete with the American on equal terms. This may be quite possible when our fruit growing areas are more fully occupied. In the meantime we have a market growing at an enormous rate at our very doors. You must remember the new settlers coming into the west in their thousands." To Attract Settlers. The commissioner explained that in coming to Great Britain to show the magnificent apples which the province could produce, his main object was to induce more Britons to come over and assist in cultivating them. He explained that the import duty of 30 per cent upon American fruit secured the Canadian market to the Canadian grower, and that even If he had any surplus to send over to the British market he would have to compete there with the foreigner on equal terms. In the matter of winter pears and prime peaches commanding high prices, Mr. Bullock-Webster believes British Columbia will do a growing business in the Old Country. As regards peaches In particular, he stated that experts had expressed an almost unanimous opinion that the British Columbia variety "held up"—to use a technical term—better than other Canadian peaches which had been exported, probably owing to different conditions of soil and temperature. Though apples are the staple of the fruit industry, Mr. Bullock-Webster was anxious that the prospective purchaser of fruit land In the province, should be made to realize to what a profitable extent small fruits were grown, furnishing a rapid return to the investor. Magnificent Exhibit. Regarding the exhibit of wiiich Mr. Bullock-Webster is In charge the Chester Observer in Its account of the Pax- ton annual exhibition which was opened last month by the Duchess of Westminster and which attracted large crowds of people interested In agriculture and horticulture, says: "Practically the whole of the available accommodation of the building was occupied by the exhibits, the arttB- tlc staging of which produced an effect of surpassing beauty and charm and testified eloquently to the skill and unremitting pains on tho part of those who were responsible for tho work. "A feature of much, interest as on some previous occasion, waa a magnificent exhibit of apples from BritlBh Columbia, shown as packed In original caSes, all having been grown on standard trees ln the open. Local .Interest In that great fruit yielding colony was further stimulated by a vialt to the show of three Cheshire gentlemen who have made their homes there for a long period. They were the Hon. Price Ellison, who holds the office of minister of finance and agriculture ln British Columbia; Gerald L. Parker, a son of Hon. Cecil Parker, and A. W. Giles, brother of E. S. Giles, county court registrar for this district; the two latter being successful fruit growers In the Okanagan district of British Columbia." Carries Gold Medal. "The government of British Columbia was awarded a large gold medal for their exhibit of apples," states the same paper. Is Singled Out. In the various speeches whloh were made by many of the prominent men of Cheshire, the British Columbia exhibit was referred to ln most complimentary terms and several expressed the belief that the great exhibit of fruit displayed from this province could not fail to result ln attracting many new settlers.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15 EDITORIAL NOTES Nelson Conservatives are to (be congratulated upon the remarkably strong executive chosen at the annual meeting on Tuesday night. The mere list of names, including as it does representatives of practically every element of strength in the community, is an Impressive evidence of tbe position occupied by the Conservative party in this city—largely as a result of the leadership of Hon. Mr. McBride and the record of his government. Temporary deprivation of electric power and light brought into evidence ln a striking manner the value to tne city of the gas company and Its large, well equipped and admirably managed plant. Gas for cooking and for many other purposes Is almost a necessity in a modern city. To have ample facilities in that way and in addition to be able to turn to gas instead of candles or coal oil when electricity gives out, Is to be fortunate indeed, it is, also, to be in a better position than many towns much larger than Nelson. REVOLUTION MADE EASY ■ It is a revolution, or rather, two or three revolutions, that the Coalition in the United Kingdom proposes to effect. And, singularly enough, revolutions in tbat ancient and stable realm may be accomplished more easily than anywhere else, provided only that a majority of the elected members of the house of Commons 1B secured. Most countries have elaborate safeguards against hasty constitutional changes. An elaborate procedure is prescribed. The United States is particularly conservative in this respect; amendments to the constitution must foe approved not only by the house of representatives, by the senate and by the president, but also by a great majority of the individual states, in Britain all that is necessary js to pass an act of parliament and the thingis flone. The King must act on the advice of ministers who are responsible to the bouse of commons. Hitherto, therefore. all that has been necessary has been for a measure proposing a constitutional change to pass tlie Commons and the Lords. It is now proposed that the assent of the second house shall not be necessary to an act of parlla- . meat if it has thrice, been passed by the Commons. Therefore all that will be necessary to alter the constitution will be a majority in the Commons for three successive years. Of course such changes' need not necessarily be permanent. If they do not reflect the settled will of the people another party may secure power and rescind the changes made, or introduce others greatly modifying. In event of a future Unionist victory, Mr Balfour's referendum proposals and Lord Lansdowne's proposals for the remodelling of the house of Lords may become law.

If, for Instance, Ulster should not like her experience under a' Dublin parliament she might (be glren a legislature ot her own, or bracketed with another portion of the United Kingdom. Parliament, it should be observed. has for many centuries claimed and exercised the right to depose kings and to chose their successors, James II was by no -means the first king to lose his crown by act ot parliament. The hereditary heirs of the Stuarts are to this day excluded from the throne by another act of parliament. Hitherto such an act has required the assent of both .houses iWhen the Asquith bill (becomes law, a majority in the house of Commons will suffice. The power to make constitutional changes easily does not always mean that they will be made often. Any Canadian province can remodel its constitution in a single session by an act ot the legislature. Ontario thus abolished her second house, and Alberta altered the lifetime of her legislature from four to five years. But such changes have been few. COMMUNICATIONS) A MATHEMATICAL JOKER To the Editor of The Dally News: Sir—I notice the assessor in making out the taxes fcr the Hume school district is not very accurate in his figures. The total assessed value of the district is {376,589.78. Out ot this be wishes to raise $1900 for school purposes. He calls this 5.1 mills on the dollar, which it Is not and then he figures the taxes at the 5.1 mills* on the dollar which will give him a total of $1920.60, or a rake off of $20.60. Now, who gets this rake off Why shoud there be any rake off at all in public matters? The real rate is 5.045 mills on the dollar. If he would call this for practical purposes 5.046 mills it would just give him 22 cents too much on the total assessment; but whv not figure it accurately and get the exact amount? J. IRWIN Nelson, Dec. 12, 1910. Note—Of course there is no rake off; the whole $1920.60, if that amount Is obtained, goes Into the school, treasury. To "figure it out accurately" on all assessments would cost more than $20.60. Perhaps when the total amount Involved is so small It is being needlessly precise to fix the rate at 5.1 mills instead of 6 mills. But that would mean a difference of nearly 20 per cent In the rate.

D. Monk's bill providing for the creation and control of co-operative credit societies. The hill passed through the banking and commerce committee last session. It got a second reading without opposition hut trouble Commenced in committee, opposition to the proposed measure being led by E. B. Osier of West Toronto. The main objection was that co-operative credit societies would not have any capital (to speak of, and it would open the door to fraud to allow them to collect deposit and loan money extensively. Friends of the measure pointed out that the operation of each society was restricted to working classes and to a limited area and that similar legislation had worked well in other countries. Some progress was made in committee but the bill is not likely to be given a third reading till Mr. Fielding returns and gives his advice. Conservation Bill. A bill based on the recommendation of the Conservation commission and which aims at the conservation of the water powers of the Dominion was introduced by Mr. Monk. A number of bills gathered by private members were advanced a stage.

HUME LICENSE IS TRANSFERRED (Continued from page one. might have a bearing upon a suit now pending. Mr. Hall—I have made the request. I did not think that you would consent. I will now proceed with my case. There was between |22,000 and $25,- 000 involved, he said, and the only way In which the creditors stood any chance of obtaining it was to oppose the granting of the license. Regarding Mr. Mof- fatt's statement that W. C. Wells was the mortgagee In possession he claimed that as such Mr. Wells had no right to apply for the transfer and that secondly he was not ln legal possession. When foreclosing a mortgage It was necessary that 30 -days' notice should be given. Tbat had not been done. Another point Is that there was no con* slderatlon involved In the transfer. The commissioners had no right to make the transfer when not a five cent piece was directly concerned and when such action would injure the creditors. Quotes Vancouver's Mayor. "I have a copy of a letter written by L. D. Taylor, mayor of Vancouver, to W. A. Macdonald, K.C., in reply to an inquiry regarding the policy of the licensing commissioners of the city of Vancouver. Mr. Taylor states that while it Is not the custom of the board to make of itself a collecting agency it nevertheless would not connive at fraud and In cases of applications for the transfer of licenses always Insisted that aU creditors should be paid before consenting to grant the application. The power of the Nelson board was in all respects Identical with that of the Vancouver board." Some History. Mr. Hall continued that in 1907 George P. Wells purported to buy the Hume hotel. A portion of the purchase price was paid by W. C. Wells. From that time W. Q. Wells took up his residence at the hotel and continued to live there for the most part. Early in the present year W. C. Wells took absolute control and since that time he arranged all business In connection with the hotel. Mr. Hall quoted statements made by various Nelson merchants to the effect that W, C. Wells had met them and spoken of seeing that accounts were more regularly paid, and that they obtained a fair share of the business with the result that these merchants had been given the impression that W. C. Wells for responsible for the debts of the ho'tel. To R* F. Glgot Mr. Wells had said when asked a question "I am running the hotel." Is Profitable Business. He submitted that these statements indicated that W. C. Wells was obtaining control of the hotel. It was, he understood, a profitable enterprise, making about $25,000 per annum. Mr. Wells, said Mr. Hall, was during this time ln a position to get details of the business and his duty was to have informed the creditors of the state of affairs. "Mr. WellB knew all the transactions and he deliberately deceived the creditors. For instance he says that he paid $12,000 to his son, George P. Wells. We say that he did not pay that sum. And we ask that he should snow that there ls no intent of fraud in this application for the transfer of the license. "If he alleges that he is in possession through a chattel mortgage can he ask you to transfer this license to him for nothing after he has grabbed ail the rest of the business when the other creditors have at least, a right to an equal share in the assets," Ran Bar Without Permit. Mr. Hall then raised the point that for a certain period W. C. Wells had conducted the Hume bar without a permit to carry on the business and that he had been doing so in direct contravention of the law. "This is the man who comes asking you for the transfer of tHe license" concluded Mr. Hall. E .A. Crease arose as representing the Nelson Transfer company, the Kootenay Ice & Fuel company and P.

C mwmm* clients wished to oppose the granting of the license. On behalf of J. Fred Hume, James O'Shea made a similar statement, pointing out that the value of the hotel upon which Mr. Hume held the first mortgage would be largely depreciated If the transfer were not made with the result that the license would be lost altogether. H. A. Stewart for Pither & Leiser, protested against the killing of the license. License Could Not Run Away. P. Q. Moffatt said that the whole question of the transfer of the license hinged upon the question as to whether W. C. Wells was a fit and proper person to hold a license. He did not consider it necessary to say anything regarding the character of his client. He wished to protest moBt strongly against the attempt being made by his learned friend to try a case before the commissioners which was then pending in the supreme court. The granting of the transfer would not harm a single creditor while leaving it would not help a single person. Supposing it were left with Q. P. Wells? What would happen? Supposing the creditors won the action now pending; the license could not run away. The license was granted to the Hume hotel. J. Fred Hume could not hold It as he was not In possession whereas W. C. WellB was in possession. The mortgage of the hotel bad been registered on March 14, 1910. Charges Blackmail. "There is only .one possible reason why you should be asked to refuse this application," said Mr. Moffatt, "and that Ib straight blackmail. It Is an attempt to use the board as a debt collecting agency and to blackmail W. C. WellB through the licensing commission." It the commissioners decided to adjourn to consider their decision be urged them to recollect that the licenBe must not be lost aB it would be if the transfer were not made. Mr, Hall—I am surprised that my learned friend dare charge a representative body of citizens and myself with blackmail. If my learned friend would meet me outside the court room I challenge him to repeat his statements.*' In answer to Mr. Moffatt's contentions Mr. Hall said that the chattel mortgage gave W, C. Wells no right to the license; he challenged the statement that the transfer of the license would do ho harm. W. C. Wells was ln possession, he said, he was ln control and that control was for all future time unless the license were transferred. Mayor Urges Some Settlement. A number of questions were asked counsel by the chairman of the board who aald that he had been hoping for a month or so that th* case would be dealt with in the supreme court so that the licensing commissioners would be relieved of the onus of settling the question. He felt a great deal of sympathy for his brother citizens who beyond doubt had suffered a great wardship. He earnestly wished that nome settlement might be arrived at. The hardship on the creditors was so obvious and the position in which Mr. Wells found himself seemed so impregnable that he, Chairman Selous, be^god him to meet the creditors and make some concessions. It seemed a pity that any more money should be spent iu litigation. Mr. Wells Refuses. Mr. Hall expressed a willingness to meet Mr. Wells with a view to some arrangement but Mr. Moffatt stated that Mr. Wells said that he had done all he could in the matter. The court then adjourned, reserving its decision until the afternoon, when the transfer was granted as previously stated. The only other business before the commissioners was the transfer of the Tremont hotel from Malone & Treglllus to Ransome & Campbell. The transfer of the Office saloon from Boyd & Young to McDonald & Williamson was postponed to the next meeting in order STOMACH DISTRESS AND DYSPEPSIA GO Heartburn, Gas and Indigestion Van* Ish and Your Stomach Feels Fine In Five Minutes.

Tell your pharmacist to let you read tha formula, plainly printed on these 60-cent oases of Pape's Dlapepsln, then you will readily see why It makes Indigestion, Sour Stomaoh, Heartburn or other distress go In Ave minutes, and relieves at once such miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructations of sour, undigested food, Nausea, Headaches, Dizziness, Constipation and other stomach disorders. Some folks have tried so long to And relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia or an out-of-order stomach with the common every-day cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomaoh or Cancer. This, no doubt, is a serious mistake. Your trobule Is, what you eat does not digest; Instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid, Om and Stomach poison, which putrefy ln the digestive tract and Intestines, and, besides, poison the breath with nauseous odors. ■< A hearty appetite.: with thorough digestion, and without the slightest discomfort or misery of the Stomach Is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Fape'a Diapepsin. that certain legal requirements might be complied with.

"I was sick for two years with chronic bronchitis and a. consequent run-down condition. I received no bent-lit from doctors or from a trip which I took for my health and I had to give up work. Vinol waa recommended and from tlie second bottle I commenced to imnrove—I gained In weight und strength, my bronchial trouble disappeared, and I am at work again. I want to recommend Vinol to anyone who Is in need or such a medicine." Thomas HIgglns. (We guarantee this testimonial to be genuine.) It is the combined action of the curative elements of the cod's livers aided by the blood making and strength creating properties of tonic iron contained in Vinol which makes it so successful In curing bronchitis. Vinol ls a constitutional remedy for olironlc coughs, colds, bronchitis and pulmonary troubles, not a palliative like cough syrups. Vinol contains no oils or drugs and is far more efficacious than cough mixtures, because it cures the cause, Try It. If you don't think it helps you, we will return your money. W.

C, Dec. 14—The weather here continues mild and although there was quite a heavy enow Btorm on Sunday, the snow 1b now rapidly disappearing. Mr. Walton one ot our enterprising merchants here, went to Nelson on Thursday and returned the same day on the Kokanee. The pile driver has been at. work on the government wharf here during the rust, week and now the wharf is entirely finished. There Is a nicely finished ware room on the wharf where baggage may be stored and here also travellers may find shelter while waiting for the boats. This wharf Ib a great advantage to Proctor. In the past Mr. Snow, the proprietor of the Outlet hotel, provided a float and the passengers had to walk a plank from the beach to the float so that on dark nights the risk of falling into the water was great. In fact several accidents ot this kind have happened In the past. Rev. Mr. Reed held service in the Church of England at Balfour on Sunday afternoon which was well attended In spite of the snow storm. A special service will be held at Balfour on Christmas day tor which special Christmas music is now being prepared. Mr. Conn, the Methodist missionary, did not hold service in the school house here as was expected on Sunday morning. A large cargo of lumber, arrived here on Friday from the Yale-Columbia Lumber Co. for the 0. P. B. hotel rand the second story of this handsome structure Is nnw In course of construction. The cottlnued wet weather here has delayed the work on this building, but now that the weather has cleared, the building operations are renewed with Increased vigor. A large force of men is here at work with a steam shovel cutting into a hill on the east side of the Outlet hotel. ThiB hill is tp be completely removed so that a switch track can be built near the C. P. R. station. The earth that Ib remoyed will be used for the permanent improvement of the C. P. R. Blip. Henry Steel, who Is well and favorably known here, has just returned trom the Lucky Jim mine after an absence of about two months. He reports plenty of snejw at that place and was surprised to | find spring-like weather prevailing at Proctor. He expecta Grant McKesn to arrive about Dec. 14. Mrs. J. Da*Is, who has just returned from Spokanj, was here on Saturday on her return to her home at Alns- worth. Mrs. Davis has Just left her young daughter In the hospital for treatment in Spokane. Mrs. Butter of Kaslo, was here on Saturday to visit her husband who is employed on tho C. P. R. hotel now be ing built hern.

Last night "My Wife's Family" was presented at tlie opera house before a large and appreciative audience. To say the play is a good one is putting It mildly. It Is rightly termed a.musical mix-up, and is a laugh from start to finish. During the action of the play musical and dancing numbers are introduced, which delight the audience. W, L. Stewart as Doc Nott, ln his funny sayings, keeps the audience In a round of laughter from the rise of the curtain until the end of the play. Miss Leol Stoddart, as Dolly White, tho actress, is also seen to good advantage. Joseph Ward, ns "Jack Gay," my wife's father, has the sympathy of the audience In his entanglements with his mother-in-law, and his singing ls also one of the strong features of the play. Harry Fisher, the wooden shoo dancer. Is one of the best that has appeared before a Nelson audience. Maud Barron, os Arabella Nagg, the mother-in-law, ln her impersonation of the part ls excellent. Tonight this bright play will be repeated. A splendid program is billed at the Empire theatre this evening. It includes the following subjects: "A Red Girl's Friend- shin," "A Playwright's Love," "Scenes and Customs in Madagascar," and "The Tight Rope Walker."
