JM9 NO. 179 MINE HORROR Four Hundred Lives Lost in Goal Mine Fire SHOW SPLENDID HEROISM RESCUERS CONTRIBUTE FIVE TO AWFUL DEATH ROLL—PIT IS NOW 8EALED UP WITH HUNDREDS OF BODIES STILL IN THE DEPTH8 CHERRY, 1U„ Nov. 13—Mine officials of the St, Paul Coal company mine, where am explosion occurred today, say that 400 men are dead in the mine. Twelve bodies have been taken out, eix of these were heroes not employed In the mine, who gave their lives in a futile effort to save imprisoned workers. Mine superintendent James Steele declared five hours after the explosion that it was almost Impossible that any of the miners still imprisoned could escape death. The mine had a day shift of 484 men. Ot these 60 left the mime at noon and 26 or more escaped after the fire broke out The others are believed to be dead. Tlie entrance to the mine has heen closed up In the hope of checking the flames. The building above Che pit entrance was blown up to permit this. Despite the frantic efforts of officials and the scores of volunteers In the little town of Cherry, it seemed assured at fio-o'clock that only bodies of the dead would be taken from the mine. Until tomorrow morning, when the covering will be removed to penetrate the smoke and gas choked shaft, and veins, the fate of the miners cannot be learned. The fire causing the explosion which may prove one of the greatest tragedies In the list of mine horrors, had aim origin almost trivial. A pile of hay allowed to smoulder too long finally Ignited the timbers of the mine and before the workers realized thelir danger the mine was filled with smoke, gas and flames and all exits were cut off. fcorolsm such as is rarely ex&lbl*eu was found by officials of the mine and the residents of the town of Cherry. These men who were outside the mine when the fire originated, contributed five to the list of twelve known dead. Alexander Nerberg, a 'pitman, standing at the bottom of the shaft, carried the bodies of four Into the cage, the only way of escape. As the last was carried In he fell across the body. He was dead as were all his companions when the cage was lifted to the top, Those who had gone Into the pit with him were John Buady, the .mine superintendent; John Flood and Isaac Lewis, merchants of Cherry and Dominic Fro- nenti. Dr. W. Howe, a physician or this city, who had sought to go with them when they descended in the cage had been thrust out by Bundy who exclaimed: "They will meed you at the top it we get anyone out; no risking your life down there." The physician vainly sought to revive the men wheni they were carried to him a few minutes later, CHERRY, 111,, Nov. 13—Eight bodies have been taken from the mSne of the St. Paul Coal company where more than 260 men are Imprisoned and probably scores dead, following an explosion this afternoon. The bodies were taken from the shaft while a fire was burning fiercely in the interior and smoke pouring in dense volumes from the mouth of the pit They were put on cages and lifted to the surface by unknown heroes who may haive sacrificed their lives fan a vain effort to save the imprisoned men. The known dead Include John Bnmby, mine superintendent, Alex. Norberg, foreman and Isaac Lewis, a visitor to the mine. The first explosion occurred shortly after 3 o'clock .this afternoon. In- some unknown manner, fire comlmumicated to other sections of the mine and in less than ten -minutes all hope of escape for the miners seemed shut off. While flames and smoke shot up out of the mine entrance the cage which carried the miners to their work continued to ascend and descend. The i first loads bore about a score of miners who escaped with mo worse Injuries than burns and bruises. The last trip of the cage was made when the bodies of the mine superintendent and his as- Islstiant arose. The pnen [were dead when the oage reached the surface. Half an hour after the explosion the mouth of the shaft was surrounded by hundreds of frantic women, /children and men. Many who tried' to enter were oanrted fewy unconscious from smoke and escaping fames. When it was Anally decided that the only way to check the flames was to hoard over the entrance to the mine, - <ttd opening was almost hermetically sealed and the covering will not be • removed until tomorrow monning. Urn- til then only surmises can he made as to the number of victims. I' The most optimistic watchers do not • believe that less than 100 men are dead. The mine Is tho only one in Cherry, and more than half ihe male I population are employed In It Cherry WAVE OF CONSERVATISM "To the Editor of The Newi: We have during the paat week visited and addressed meetings at Kaslo, Rossland, Grand Forks, Phoenix. Greenwood Keremeos, Hedley, Pentlcton. Summertand and other points on Oka* nogan lake, and Vernon. Nothing like a similar success has ever been wen In a provincial *' campaign. There Is one general wave of conservatism sweeping over the Interior and reports of a most gratifying character continue to arrive from all parts of the province. "A eplendid feature has been the large and most attentive anudienees which have emphatically declared themselves strongly in favor of the railway policy, and every assurance Is given that the government has the fullest eupport of the electorate. The trip has been one ovation of ap* proval. On all sides come assurances of support for conservative candidates and the decision to assist the government to continue the policy of progress and development. The magnificent success that has been attained Is most gratifying and means that British Columbia will continue to advance with Increased prosperity to the people. "R. M'BRIDE, "Vernon, Nov. 13. "W.

SPRING \tt_H__, 111., Nw. 13—Be. twoen 100 .and 400 miners ere reported killed by an explosion of. coal dust ln the mine ot tbe St Paul coal company at Cherry today. HEDLEY IMPROVEMENTS NEW OWNERS ENLARGING PLANT OF NICKEL M.ATE. MINING RETURN8 FOR THE WEEK SHOW BIG INCREASE. Considerable prospecting and development work is reported from a num-. ber of Important mining properties. The Daly reduction company at Hedley, which was recently acquired by the Exploration syndicate of New York, is rebuilding its tramway. The Tramway is 10,000 feet long, the second or lower lift being 6,000 feet long, and that second lift is being entirely replaced. The compressor plant Is being changed from water to combined water and steam. By the first of the year the company will be creating Its power from coal brought from Princeton. The Great Northern railway has now got Its rails to Princeton, and this week two cars of coal were shipped over the unballasted track. The stage which now conveys traffic from Keremeos to Hedley will be abandoned when the railway line is shortly completed. The New Dominion Copper company, at the Boundary, aconriUr.fi '.'o reliable Information, is about to do extensive work with the diamond drill on its property. It is the expectation that the shipping of ore will commence in about six months. TKe Boundary Mining and Exploration company will do diamond drilling at Midway, looking for coal. The feature of the mining returns for the week was the output of the Granby, which reached the magnificent total of 30,677 tons, a record even for that well known producer* Another showing worthy of note was the ore* receipts of the Consolidated company's smelter, at Trail, which ran up to 12,131 tons. The total shipment from the Boundary country for the week was well over 45,000 tons, while Rossland and the Slocan-Kootenay were also well up. In the list for the latter district there appear a couple of new names this week, those of the Alice mine at Creston and of the No. 1 at Alnsworth, both of which' have resumed shipments after protracted periods of Inactivity.

S. LENNIE AT NEW DENVER. > HAVE UTMOST CONFIDENCE IN CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE. (Special to The Daily News.) NEW DENVER, Nov. 13.—William Hunter, in company with R. S. Leimie, president of the Kootenay Conservative association, addressed a large, enthusiastic and representative gathering on Thursday evening last at the Bosen hall, New Denver, together with J. B. Smith, J. P., chairman; J. a Hards, local option candidate; W. Davidson, on behalf of the socialist candidate, and others. Mr. Hunter, who has so ably represented this division for the past three years received a' most flattering reception, expressive of the kindly feeling and confidence reposed In him. He prefsoed vhift remarks by referring to the unparliamentary expressions indulged in at a previous political meeting by the local option candidate towards himself and other, which tie considered Impolitic. Reviewing the work accomplished by the conservative party and giving an account of His stewardship and what hud been done for the advantage of this riding, Mr. Hunter observed that their efforts had evidently been received with satisfaction by certain sections, and that a man who had long devoted his attention to political pursuits could And little satisfaction ia quiet retirement, and should it be their pleasure to re-elect him, he would do, as he had previously done, his level best for tbe general interest of all parties. No man Is born without faults, and he is a lucky individual who bears the smallest share. He had been careful to avoid censure, even if he had not deserved commendation. (Cheers,) He acknowledged he was not a skilled man ln the art of speaking, like the local option candidate (ironical laugh), but he professed to be a practical politician, and not an Idealist; and after all, he thought the language of truth and facts simple enough and sufficiently convincing. He enumerated the various benefits advanced and tbe possibilities of a bright future throughout the riding. Mr. J. C. Harris, local option candidate, was called upon to address the company. His speech amounted to nothing, but a volley of abuse towards Mr. Hunter, which suggested that he was intoxicated with tbe exuberance of his own verbosity. Then followed W. Davidson with a speech from bis point of view, as socialist, but It was too deep a subject even for the more enlightened to fathom ln the brief time allowed. The address of tbe evening was unquestionably that given by R. S. Lennie, whose well known ability as an advocate commanded tbe keenest, attention, and was a llterkry feast. He dealt with the Hon. Richard McBride's railroad extension policy In a masterly manner, graphically explaining the commercial and social advantages It will provide to the province generally. He 'also removed doubts and difficulties contracted by many who had previously misconceived Its future usefulness. Concluding, Mr. Lennie explained what Mr. Harris had failed to do, the course the government will adopt in regard to local option if considered necessary. Your correspondent deeniB it expedient to remind voterB attending other political meetings that opportunity Is afforded any person to put a question at a convenient time at the conclusion "of all speeches, and not to offensively interrupt a speaker, which Ib equally objectionable to an audience. Such persistent offenders should be peremptorily dealt with and requested by the chairman to retire. Hurrclanea In Europe. . BERLIN, Nov. 13.—Hurrincane like winds have raged ln northern Europe last night and today. Hundreds of minor casualties have resulted and there has been loss of life. 6IVE$_0ENIAL Premier Refutes Liberals' Misstatements MEETS UNEXPECTED DELAY SEVERAL MEETINGS UNAVOIDABLY OMITTED-THE VERNON GATHERING MOST SUCCESSFUL —RECEIVES ADDRESS AT PEN- TICTON (Special to The Dally News.) VERNON, Nov. 13—As the tour of premier McBrlde and attorney general Bowser proceeds It becomes more arduous, and tonight, at Vernon, the ministers concluded two days of hard travelling. On Thursday they addressed meetings* at Phoenix aud Greenwood and -early on Friday morning -they left Greenwood for Midway where a special train ran them into,the Similkameen country aa far aa Hedley. Although at this mining center the meeting was scheduled for the afternoon yet a large number of miners and business men listened wfth interest to Candidate Shatford add .the premier and attorney general. Mr. Shatford dealt with the great strides the province had made since premier McBride assumed the reins of power and laid particular stress on the happy financial condition of the country. He has a big following in Hedley and Keremeos and his election! Is certain. Premier McBrlde was in a happy mood and gave a concise explanation of his railroad policy and also of the benefit the Boundary and Slmllkameen will receive from the completion of the Kettle River line. In referring to the Canadian Northern route to the coast the premier said that as practical railroad builders, who built for business a;nd not for sentiment, Mackenzie & Mann stated that' the Hope mountain' route was Impracticable. If a road was built In that direction the minimum grade would be 2 .1*2 per cent which was prohibitive for .resulting in successful competition with the C.P.R. Attorney,genecs.^owser.-after putting before his hearers the financial condition of the' country and pointing out the enormously valuable lands which could be sold if the province by any chance was called upon to make good Its guarantee oj the Canadian Northern bonds, dealt in masterly fash- Ion with the white labor question. The Heuiey audience was delighted with the stand of the McBrlde government on this question and quickly appreciated the attorney general's exposure of the attempt of the Grand Trunk Pacific with the connivance of Ottawa to introduce Asiatic labor on the British Columbia section, "tt is a significant fact and one from which a conclusion cam be drawn, that the matter was framed up at Ottawa that while Mr. Wainwrlght and sir Chm-les Rivers-Wilson were trying to get our permission at Victoria to Introduce Asiatics, Colllngwood Scheiber, a dominion official, was at Vancouver with instructions from Mr. Graham, minister of railways, to give out interviews with the Idea of converting the people of British Columbia to the Idea tliat Asiatics were a necessity." From Hedley the party proceeded to Keremeos where a rousing meeting wag held in the evening. Candidate Shatford spoke again and his welcome indicated a large number of supporters. Today it was the Intention of the premier to address meetings at Pentlotow, Summerland and Kelowna as well aa at Vernon, for the Okanagan riding is the largest rural constituency in1 the province, having over 4000 names on the list. The party left Keremeos in on automobile early this morning but a succession of mishaps caused by punctured tires delayed them and as a result the special steamer which took them up the lake omitted calls. Pentlcton enthusiasts, however, were determined to give some tangible expression of their feeling of admiration and boarded the steamer Aberdeen shortly before Its departure and presented the premier with an address which expressed confidence in his government and a resolve that Pentlcton would support the conservative candidate, Hon. Price ElliscmL One of the most successful meetings of the tour was held at Venuon, the opera house being absolutely crammed to the doors with a representative au- dlence. From all sections of the lake people drove in and many came up from lake towns. A hlght pitch ojf. enthusiasm marked the proceedings and the last big meeting of the tour was a fitting climax to the unprecedented success which has marked all the gatherings of the trip. J. A. McKelvle, presided and as the speakers entered three little girls dressed In white, presented them with bouquets accompanied by cards which extended the welcome ofl Vennooi to premier McBrlde, "British Columbia's most loyal son and advocate," and to attorney general Bowser "a hearty welcome on this your first publlo visit to Okanagan," and to Hon. Price Ellison-, "Okanogan's worthy representative for eleven years." A brass band and torches preceded the party to tiie opera house which was packed to the doors. W. R. Ross, K. C, conservative candidate in Fernle. Mr. Ross was born In March, 1859, at Fort Chipewyan. He was educated at St. John's college, Winnipeg, and was married In October, 1892, to Miss Leila Young. He was elected In 1903 as member for Fernie, and again In 1907, and has since done useful service in the legislature. In the course of his speech the premier stated that the hidebound liberals of the province and tlie liberal press were deliberately lying as regards his railway policy. "They say we have no mortgage on the road." he said. "That Ib false. We have a first mortgage on the road. They say we pledged the credit of the country for forty-five millions. That ls false. We pledged the credit of British Columbia for twenty- one millions. It Is such tactics as these that have earned for the liberal party in^ this province the cp/n*tempt c£ decent pedple, and until they come out in a manly fashion with honest criticism It Is certain that British Columbia will have nothing to do with them." In this connection the premier referred to those flop Journals, the Vancouver World and Saturday Sunset and described the latter as a publication which was a good authority on five o'clock teas but a poor exponent of railroad construction. The premier contrasted the gifts to the C.P.R. and G.T.P. with the present agreement with the Canadian Northern. "British Columbia gave the C.P.R. a belt of land 40 miles wide and 500 miles long and in addition made free gift of the road from Port Moody to Savana's Ferry. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has pledged Canada to pay three-quarters of the cost of the Grand Trunk Pacific and that company will not pay the interest for seven years after the construction. We get the Canadian Northern without the gift of a single dollar of our money" Mr. McBride placed the cases of Manl toba amd Alberta before his audience. Manitoba eight years ago when her net revenue was only $700,000 guaranteed the bonds of the system for 15 millions and hns Increased these from time to time. Alberta only four years old, has guaranteed the bonds of the Canadian Northern and G.T.P. for 29 millions. These provinces, said the premier, had no mines, land or timber and had never been called on for a single dollar amd had experienced wonderful development through bringing in a competitive road. "How then can my critics, In the name of all that is fair amd reasonable, fear for British Columbia, owning her own lands, timber, mines amd fisheries, with a revenue of seven millions and only guaranteeing bonds for 21 millions. If Manitoba, governed by conservatives, and Alberta, governed by liberals, agree on the benefits of the Canadian. Northern and above all if sir Wilfrid Laurier guaranteed the system for 1400 miles, then ail except my most hidebound opponents must agree that we have made an excellent bargain." The premier also dealt with the Kettle River road and was followed by the attorney general, who demonstrated bow strong were tlie finances of the province to cope with any crisis should one arise. He went extensively Into white labor and Indian titles aud provincial rights, and Candidate Ellison closed a successful meeting. KAISER IS IN A RAGE. Summons Highest Officials of German Fleet as Result of Revelations. BERLIN. Nov. 13.—A national storm of Indignation has arisen over the revelations In the Kiel dockyard graft trial. The kaiser summoned to a special audience at Potsdam three of the highest administrative officials of the German fleet. Admirals von Tirpltz, von Flschel and Muller. Those who know the kaiser's passionate pride In tbe navy can realize what ts going on in his mind In the presence of the general flaying which the fleet administration Is now subjected to from end to end of the empire. Tbe country's anger is only comparable to the cyclone which swept over the country when tho famous kaiser interview was publjp exactly a year ago. The press ar political parties join in. the den/aiiu that the management of the navy be inexorably overhauled. A parliamentary commission is armed with tlie power to go over the heads of the admiralty in getting at the bottom of affairs ln Kiel, Danzig and Wllhelmshaven and other naval establishments. ROSSLAND HAS BALtf THREE CANDIDATES AND EX- LEADER OF OPPOSITION SPEAK. CONSERVATIVE REPRESENTATIVE GIVES EFFECTIVE ADDRESS. ROSSLAND. Nov. IS.—Tlio Liberals held a rally in Miners* Union hall on Friday evening, which was addressed by Dr. J. M, l&iitflisli, Liberal candidate fur the riding, W. H. Braden, tlie Conservative candidate, George Casey, the Socialist candidate, and J. A. .Macdonald, ex-leader ot tlie opposition. There wna a good sized crowd p res oat, not a few of whqm were Conservatives and Socialists, but there wns a luck (if enthusiasm, Mr. English was the tirst speaker nnd said he though! tho government. In view of the fact thut it has a large surplus in the treasury and a hip revenue, und that the municipalities are straggling under the burden of taxation, should give the cities the personal properly tax. lie declared that the measure providing for the payment of $1,-500 in case of disability to the workingman had been voted down by the Conservatives; and for thin he ullfeged that McBrlde was not u friend of the workingman. He also said that the Conservatives In the house voted against a measure which Insured the wages of miners working ut mines. This was on amendment that provided that such wages he guaranteed hy a chartered bank. The speaker reviewed tlie records of the two parties on Oriental exclusion, and endeavored to show that the record of the Liberal parly wus belter in lids regard than that of the Conservatives, XV, It. Braden made a very sensible speech during whlcli ho declared that nearly every steamer arriving at the coast from the Orient brought from 200 to 800 Chineae ami he asked whose fault It was that such was the case—Liberals or Conservatives. He was proud to say that he was a strong support er of that grand old man, J Ion. Richard HeBride*. and of his railway policy because he was opening up the country with trails, bridges and railways. He strongly approved of the railway policy of tho government, and he hatl talked with Liberals and Socialists and none of them could llnd any fault with it. (Ad- pi ii use and loud cheers.) George Casey made a speech along Socialistic lines and made a good presentation of that case. He said he delighted in political strife nnd if sent to the legislature would fairly bury McBrlde with measures for the betterment of the working class. He would advocate the workers' cause in and out of season nnd felt sure that his efforts would be rewarded with success. He was heartily cheered. j. a. Mocdomitil was the last speaker of tho evening. He devoted his time principally to throwing cold water oa the McBrlde railway policy, declaring that it would be the means, if adopted, of putting an incubus on tlie people of the province and of hurting its credit. The Canadian Northern, he asserted, would parallel the G<ranA Trunk Paciiic for 200 miles from the Yeliowhead pass, would then pass through a wilderness of 200 miles and then would parallel the C.P.R. for HM miles, and yet the people of the province were to guarantee the payment of $21,000,000 and interest for SO years for building 200 miles of road through n wilderness, which was practically the only compensation they would receive for so vast an obligation. He said the government was deceiving tlie people when It said It would have a first mortgage on the Canadian Northern railway, ns the bondholders who purchased tho bonds would hnve such n mortgage, in like terms he crltiied the Kettle valley agreement and accused the McBrlde ' government of Insincerity nnd with attempting to deceive the people. The extension of the Kettle vnlley line should have been over the Hope mountains, he said Instead of by the route proposed. "What was Wanted wns a short line from the Kootenays to the coast, and he held that the line proposed by the extension of the Kettle valley line was not a short line to the coast but a long one. His remarks were well received by a portion of »h* audience. 1$ ACQUITTED Steinheil Case Has Dramatic Conclusion FURORE ON BOULEVARDS BEDLAM BREAKS LOOSE AS VER- DICT IS RENDERED—PRISONER COLLAPSES IN FIT OF WEEP- ING — WOMEN SHRIEK AND FAINT—SALVO OF BRAVOS. PARIS, Nov. 33.—Mme. Margheiita Steinheil was acquitted by a Jury at an early hour tills moraine oi the murder of her husband, Adolph Steinheil, a noted painter, and her step-mother, Mme. Japy. The verdict was rendered at 12:55 a. m., after two and a half hours' deliberation, during which the jury summoned the president of the court for explanations, thus proving that the original majority was for conviction. To some degree public sentiment and a stuffy, crowded court roo_\ favored tbe prisoner, and the delay) canused mcch apprehension. With the flrst appearance of the jury, however, several of whom were smiling, an instinctive feeling of acquittal flashed through the court room. Through the court room dramatic scenes followed. The red-robed judges und counsel filed In and took their places. Every eye was riveted on the door through which the prisoner should enter, but she did not appear. M. De- velles, the presiding judge, turned to the jury and said: "Have you reached a verdict?" • foreman potus .

A man In the rear of the house jumped and screamed for Joy. "Bring in the accused." Fully 20 minutes passed before a Mt.-V ri-r'-j;- Rf'.c ^l^i n, ■*'!;'..V ia$fc appeared In the doorway, supported on either side by a gendarme. Tbe woman swayed and seemed to be fainting, but in response to a wild outburst of cheers she lifted her head and looked about, smiling faintly in acknowledgment. Then she tottered forward aiyi sank on the floor beside the rail. When Ihe judge pronounced the verdict her faint murmur of thanks was hardly heard. An instant later Mr. A- b!n was over ihe rail lifting her in hie- aims. The crowds surged forward in a solid wall, making the rafters ring with cheers. Outside the gloomy courthouse tens of thousands wlio had been waiting for hours, took up the cry. Special editions of the papers spread the news like wildfire through the boulevards, where thousands were waiting in front of tne cafes, and the same scenes of rejoicing were again witnessed. After being tenderly asslsfed out of the .room, Mmfc. Steinheil waa conducted from the building by one of Ihe many subterranean passages. Where she was taken is not known, but probably she was escorted back to the St. Lazare prison, as Ihe French procedure requires the formality of "lifting tne bolts" before the definite release of the prisoner. This ceremony will take place tomorrow. The last day of the trial was given over largely to tlie argument of M. Aubln, counsel for the prisoner. M. Aubln, speaking with feeling, and in a sympathetic voice, while admitting the faults of bis client, devoted somd time to telling tlio story of her life as child, wife, mother. "I do not seek to place her on a pedestal," he snid, "but. she must not be put In the pillory, for with all my soul 1 believe her innocent." Mme. Steinheil wept gently as her counsel spoko of bow her husband idolized her. If her husband knew of her intrigues, he never indicated it by word or sign. M. Aubln said he greatly regretted that ex-President Felix Fame's name had been mentioned. Coming to the crime, M. Aubln insisted that the original story told by the accused was true. He contended that the case of Hie prosecution was at issue and laboriously elaborated on presumptions. M. Aubin prolonged bis plea far into the night. The court room, lighted with glaring chandeliers, was stilling hot, the jurymen restless, and several women sitting in the rear shrieked and fainted. Tlie prisoner was a pitiful spectacle and gradually fell forward, a cold sweat turning her livid face a ghastly green. A doctor administered restoratives, but before M. Aubin finished the woman's strength snapped and she collapsed in a fit of weeping. When the judge ashed her tf she had anything to say, she made no reply. Tears streamed from many eyes and a minute later as the jury retired guards lifted the limp figure and carried her fainting from the room.

NOVEMBER 14 Fort George the Second Largest City in British Columbia Fort George Future Hub of Central Province—Vancouver- ite Speaks in Glowing Terms of Town and Surrounding IDistrict—Minneapolis of the Coast—Will be the Distributing Point for Magnificent Stretch of Agricultural Country -Interesting Description of Section The Minneapolis of tbe Pacific northwest is the admiring appellation which Mr. H. A. Jones, the Cordova street business man, applied to Port George, ttle busy little Hudson's Bay post at the Junction of the Fraser and Nechaco rivers In* Central British Columbia. Of course It is a Minneapolis in the making, but In the eyes of Mr. Jones, who before taking up his residence ln Vancouver, lived In the Minnesota city, which ls the distributing point for the Dakotas and Minnesota, Fort George In the not very distant future will occupy a similar position to the central and northern, -parts of this province that the Flour City now occupies in its relation to the prairie country adjacent to it. Mr Jones haa but recently returned from an extended tour through Central British Columbia and to sav that he ls enthusiastic over the future of Fort George and the neighboring country is putting It mildly. In three weeks he covered 1400 miles and he declares It ls a truly wonderful country with a great fu- "I am getting rather advanced In years now, but if I was a little younger I do not think I could do anvthina better than go up to Fort George and grow up with tie town," said Mr. Jones today in discussing S iture of this thriving little place which Is destined, so he believes, to be the hub of British Columbia ''There's a great future ahead of It. The country surrounding It ls rich in agricutural prospects and as 'a distributing center It could not be more ideally situated. I am sorry I am not a younger man." For the purpose of looking over the Interior of the province nnd personally Inspecting ,the country, Mr. Tones made the trip to Fort George. As a result of this trip he Is now one of the most ardent boosters for this oart of the provinoe. In conversation with a Provinoe reporter he stated today that he had never antlcl- nited seeing such a wonderful country. Fort George is situated at the confluence of two big rivers, and Mr Jones declared that he never saw anjj stream which so reminded him of the upper Missouri river as .the' broad Fraser at this point. The river ls guarded by high banks here ond the country suBonndlng it I. nerfeetlv level It is an ideal farming country too. The climate is splendid, the summers being fine and warm and the winter not too cold. The soil ls a rich loam suitable for all agricultural purposes. He Baw _ treat variety of vegetables In process of cultivation, while numerous varieties of grain, with oats predominating were also to be seen. An Idea ot the level nature of the land may be gathered from the fact that at Fort George Mr. Jones could not discern a hill ot any kind as far as the eye could see, while the mountains were completely ont of* vision, Indicating a tremendously wide stretch of level territory, the perfect agricultural country. i The dry belt ot the Interior changes to the green belt after the traveller passes Ashorort. The way to Fort George trom there is almost entirely by water. The distance to S*.'da creek Is about 200 miles and steamers nlv from Soda creek to Quesnelle and thence to Fort George, a distance of about 160 miles. For- -merlv the steamers did not go all the way, not daring to pass Fort George canyon, but Mr. Jones made the trip through this by steamer and says the route is perfectly safe under the direction of the careful river pilots. An Idea ofthe value of Fort Geotge as a distributing point may be gained from a glance nt the map ahowlMr tlie numerous waterways with which It is connected. From Port George one may so up the Nechaco river to Bum 1-ilie, a distance of 100 miles and the route Is entirely navigable. Then one mny so uo the Nechaco river to Stuart river, almost to Stuart lake. Boulders in the river make navigation hard ., thi*. time -but these could be removed and the channel made easy. A small portage will let the trav- ellBt* into Bahine lake and from there he may go practically direct to the Pacific with very little port- aeinir if any To the eastward of Fort George the south fork of the Fraser provides navigation for 100 mile,itihrouih a country rich tn minerals and agricultural possibilities. To the north a couple of portages or nlnht and twelve miles each will permit the voyager to gain the magniricent Peace river and Its wonderful adjoining stretch ot territory. The country bordering on these waterways is a grand agricultural Son. «nd in time is bound to be one of tlie richest farming locations in Canada. Mr. Jones found the timber rather light. It occur In groups and is rather small, bull pine and alder predominating though Sere was considerable cotton wood or good size. To all this section of country Fort George is situated much the same as Edmonton ls to Northern Alberta, the only difference being that It has a richer country In the opinion of Mr. Jones, Port George Is bound to be the distributing point for this section of the Grand Trunk Pacific From the Yeliowhead Pass to Tete Juene Cache there Is a stretch of navigable water which will make the transportation of supplies aai easy problem The only available route by way of Ashcroft will prove so expensive in the opinion of Mr. Jones, that the railway will almost certainly adopt (Fort George as a distributing point. "I firmlv believe" said Mr. Jones, "that Fort George will In time be the second largest city in British Columbia Vancouver only excepted. With such a country around It and with such easy means of com- Stl do not see bow it can possibly be held back. There are boundless opportunities there and I Tm only sorry that I am a little too far advanced In yeans to make the most ot theim-Vancouver Pro- vlnce, Nov. 6th, 1909. - ' The above Is a fair sample of dozens of reports by prominent men, who have made an examination ot the Port George Country and its resources during the last year or so. ,*,*., „ „ We have tad two men constantly employed for the last two years selecting land studying climatic oondillons nature of soil rainfall, amount of grain, vegetables, etc. grown per acre, railroad location, etc., _foiS'bSZ so thoroughly convinced of this district's superior advantages over nny other part of the Tr.,__l __VZhavecommitted ourselves and associates to the investment of a very large amount of __._T'__toliZ_ToTo)l<Mta to Invest In Fort George we have used every precaution to safeguard __iInterns ind we strongly recommend Fort George lots at the price they are today as an investment. „r .,„„ Lv.r offered a nroperty before which called for such immediate demand rrom every part of the We have never offered a property-ow r ^ ^ ^ _m __ ^ ^^ TrmOeo^e.

J., Nov. la.—Edward McKenzle, a business man of New York, has written to the police of this place asking what taw or section of the constitution of tlie United States governed the local police when they ordered him to lower the British flag which he had hoisted ln honor of King Edward's birthday lust Tuesday. The Incident has caused widespread comment not at all complimentary to the police officials. McKenzle ordered the flag to be displayed at tbe gaff of the staff on his premises. Just over the city line in.Fanwood. The flag hud been flying but a few minutes when it was seen by the driver of a laundry wagon. The man sought the nearest telephone and notified the police of the fact, and a patrolman was dispatched to McKenzie's home with orders to have the bag hauled down. When the policeman got there the-flag had been lowered and stowed away In its locker. McKenzle says he is not an American citizen, but is accustomed to observe all American holidays and especially the Fourth of July, on which days he has always raised the American tlug at the masthead on his premises. The inquiry of Mr. McKenzle has been referred to the attorney general at Washington for an opinion. Almost Totally Destroyed.

In those days, the makers were working on the wrong idea. They were trying to find a way to finish Underwear .so that it would not shrink, instead of trying to find a way to get the shrink out the wool before the yarn went to the knitting machines. The late C. E. Stanfield—who knew wool as only a man can know it who studies it from the sheep's back to the wearer's back —-gave his attention to the problem for years. Living in Nova Scotia, he soon realized that woolen underwear, and the best of pure woolen underwear, was the only kind that would and could protect the Canadian against the rigorous Canadian Winters. He found that as underwear was then made, he could not make woolen underwear that would not shrink, mat and harden. He devoted himself to this problem and after many years of experimenting, he finally discovered a method by which he could take the shrink out of the wool before the garments were knitted. This method, improved and perfected, has made possible the immense business of Stanfields Limited, with a larger output of their special classes of Underwear than any other factory in Canada. The Stanfields make underwear today because Canadian people find Stanfield's Underwear the most comfortable, the most durable, and the warmest for its weight. The Stanfields are making more underwear every year because the buying public demands more of it. Popularity is a good test of quality. In 3 standard weights—Light (Red Label), Medium (Blue Label) and Heavy (Black Label) and IJ other weights and qualities to suit the needs and requirements of every man and woman.

Hypnotist Can Control Guard Who Stands Between Him and Liberty. NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—To prove his contention that hypnotic power cannot interfere with the heart action sufficiently to cause a rupture of the aorta, Prof. Arthur Everton, who Is held charged with the death of Robert Simpson, one of his subjects, a few nights ago, gave a demonstration for the benefit of visiting members of the medical fraternity in his cell yesterday afternoon. One of his shrdlu rafwysh afternoon. One of tlie acts was to hypnotize his keeper, James Major. Major had just let the doctors in the witness room and stood before him. Everton looked him squarely ln the eyes for a few moments and then said; "Major, you nre falling forward." Major's body stiffened and leaned gradually forward. He would have fallen face downward on the floor had not Everton caught him. The hypnotist held his keeper upright, restored him to his normal condition, and then repeated the experiment In different ways. Major is the only person who stands between Everton and liberty, but Sheriff Ross said last night that he had so much confidence in Everton Wefr's Shoe Store The Store That Gives the Shoe Values Ladies Fall Shoes We have a large stock of Ladies' high grade Footwear for fall, made on the newest and best fitting lasts.

PHONE 110 GOVERNMENT'S LAND POLICY In his speeches throughout the country, and. his address here Friday evening was no exception to the rulfe, Mr. John Oliver talks grandiloquently about land for the settler, the encouragement oi people to -settle oa the land and more to the sarnie effect. Of the dfe- sliubillty of reserving the land, for the settler and encouraging people to settle on tlie land there will be none to ■dispute. Tbe government which Mr, Oliver Is attacking has done everything it possibly can in this direction, amid. Is pledged to carry out this policy to an even greater degree ln the future. Just what tbe government is doing in tbe way of opening up the country Cor settlement <raay be judged from tlie Dact that each year since it came Into power an increasing amount has heen set apart Tor surveys which are necessary before the land can be settled upon. The amount set apart to be spent Uii this way during the present year was no less than $200,000, much work Ln this direction being accomplished as a result. Im addition the government has spent large amounts of money in opening up roads and trails and building bridges amd .schools for the convenience of sottters and the encouragement of settlement. Tlie government has also done an immense amiouut of work in advertising the advantages of British Columbia as a place tor settlement not only in eastern Canada but also ln the old country wital the result that there i*> a rapidly increasing stream of immigration pouring Into the province. In addition, the government has done much to foster and advance the Interests of agriculture in various ways. The department of agriculture has been organized along modern lines with men In charge of each branch of thlj Industry. Most attention has naturally up to the present been paid lo fruit growing. A thoroughly trained mat) has been placed In charge of this brunch with assistants In various parts men. One of these, it may be said, U located in' Nelson? to assist in every —ay possible the gruit growers of this district. In addition the government is willing to pay part ot the expenses of any student from British Columbia attending the Ontario Agricultural col- liege at Guelph and has also announced that the British Columbia university which is* to he established' shortly will Include a college of agriculture. No honest, intelligent man ffler a survey of the facts can say ihat Ihe McBride government* has not dwe its duty in regard to the opening up of tlhe country and' in encouraging agriculture, especially when it is remembered that when it took- office it had no money for this or for any other purpose. The affairs of the province, however, are now on a better footing thaw ever before and as they have improved the government 1ms devoted' a yearly Increasing amount tb the opening up of the country and the encouragement of agriculture. In his heart of hearts Mr. Oliver krocjws this, as well as does any one, but for political purposes he would try to make out that the government has done mothing; in this direction. The government's record, however, Is spread before the people for them to see and on it they are invited to express their opinion on* election day. NEITHER FAlfe NOR HONEST In his speech here -Friday evening Mr. John Oliver tried to make a point against the irecord of the government in regard to the employment of Asiatics on the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific (railway im this province by* saying that the conservative members of the last legislature had voted down an amendment to the hill ratifying the govpmmont's agreem-euut with the Grand Trunk Pacific proposed by the liberal opposition in which it was specified that "no person of oriental birth or extraction, could be engaged on. this work. In this matter Mr. Oliver Is about as fair as It is possible for him to be when discussing political questions. Mr. Oliver well knows that if the bill had been passed with the words to which he refers ton It It would have been promptly disallowed by the government at Ottawa ss has been every measure of the kind ever passed by' the British Columbia legislature. The result of the disallowance in this case would have been the cancellation of the agreement between the government and the Gnand Trunk Pacific. Mr. Oliver knows this as well as he knows anything. In order to prevent anything of the kind the government voted down the amendment moved by the opposition and put the bill through the house In such shape that no excuse could be found for its disallowance by Ottawa. In doing this the government know It [was on safe grounds for, according to the statutes—and Mr. Oliver should know this for he was a member of the legislature when the measure was passed—any company receiving aid from the province In the way of- money, securities or land of the province or a right of way over lands belonging to <the province must enter into an agreement with tbe government as to the "employment of labor upon or in connection with Bald railway or other works upon such terms and conditions as to the Ueutenant-governor-ln-councll shall -seem meet and proper." In pursuance of this the government before giving the Grand Trnnk Pacific exemption from taxation for a term of years on its line in this province and a free right of way where it traverses provincial land secured from the company an agreement that "white labor s-haTI be exclusively employed by said railway company, Its contractors, Fred Irvine & Co.

Bargains in ladies' and girls' undervests, drawers and black wool tights. Fred Irvine & Co. servants and assigns, unless otherwise permitted by the lieutenant, governor-in-councll." Thts Is the clause the existence of which Mr. John* Oliver denies and which he offered any one in the Nelson opera house on Friday night J100 to find for Mm. Had Mr. Oliver had his way there would today be no agreement prevent, ing the Grand Trunk Pacific from employing Asiatics on construction of its line 'through British Columbia or to regard to any matter for the (whole act ot the legislature ratifying It would have been disallowed. Under the government's methods of procedure the agreement with the Grand Trunk Pacific In regard to the non-employment of Asiatics is in force as well as the contract ln respect to other matters. Still Mr, Oliver would have the people believe that the government and its supporters in the legislature were in favor of allowing the Grand Trunk Pacific to employ Asiatics on, the construction of its line in this province. With the facts before him can any intelligent man say that Mr. Oliver's position on this matter is a fair or an honest one? Young Eyes and Old can be easily fitted with correct glasses in our establishment. There are so many eye troubles, arising from such a vast number of causes, that tt is the duty of the expert optician first to ascertain what is the matter with the vision, and then prescribe and fit the glasses accordingly. This we do and our reputation fully bears out our claims to excel In this particular of accurate adjustment of the right lenses to suit the sight. DOES BRITISH COLUMBIA WANT THIS? The present campaign affords an example of what would be the result of a close iillianco between a llbeml gov- eminent at Victoria and the liberal government at Ottawa such as Mr. John Oliver proposes in regard to rail- ways. One of the liberal candidates In Vancouver in the present election Bees the lieutenant governorship* of the province dangling before his eyes as a reward from Ottawa for running aa a liberal candidate in that olty, while another on* the same ticket, it ls said, has visions of a seat on the supreme court bench following the constitution of the new court of appeal. Coming nearer home there is one man who is taking an active part Imi the campaign, although not a candidate, who has a sen- atorship in sight, while a candidate not a hundred miles from Tlelson haa ambitions In the direction of a county judgeship if ho can sufficiently Impress the powers that be at Ottawa with his sacrifices for and services to the lib- _. . oral party and the easiest way at hand ol the province who are also trained I of making these sacrifices and render- Watches!

"It SEEMED LIKE THR0WIN6M0HEY AWAY Until I Triad Gin Pills." Mr. P. Fitzgerald -was completely disheartened. He had suffered so long with his Kidneys, and spent, so much money on doctors without relief, that he had made up his mind he could dot be cured. Then, he chanced to read about the wonderful cures by Gin Pills, the great Kidney Remedy, and sent for a sample. The pills did him so much good that he immediately bought two full size boxes. And these two bones of Gin Pills made him feel like another man. But let Mr, Fitzgerald tell his own story of a really remarkable cure. Provincial Asylum, Orillia June 18th. I have much pleasure in stating that the sample, which vou sent me, led me tobuy two boxes of Gin Pills from a local druggist. They are the best remedy for Ure Add Trouble that I have ever tried. I must say that before using Gin Pills. I had undergone a long and expensive course of treatment by eminent specialists of Chicago. They did me no good- It seemed like throwing money away. I still keep a box of Gin Pills on hand and take one occasionally. I am pleased to recommend them and bear testimony to their efficacy. P. FITZGERALD.

Another Baker street property has changed hands, and the eventual result of the transfer will mean something added to the city. The property In question Is officially described as lot 11, block 1, and is on the north side of Baker, between Ward and Josephine streets. It ls at present occupied by business premises, In which the Western Canada Investment company has offices, and D. Small a tailor shop. W. H. Jones lias disposed of the property to J. R. Hunter, both being of Nelson, the price being $8,000. and tbe sale being negotiated by E. B. McDermid. On the expiration of the two years' lease held by Mr. Small, Mr. Hunter expects to build a line brick block of stores and offices. The property adjoins that of the Nelson hotel, which was recently bought by Joseph Griffin, of St. Thomas, Ont. When the hotel lease expires, in about two years' time, Mr. Griffin expects to put up a handsome business block, with stores in the flrBt story. When these two new blocks come Into being, the appearance of that side of Baker street at that point wilt be considerably changed. The property that Mr. Hunter has just purchased was bought by Taylor & McQuarrle three years ago for $5,000. It was sold to McDermid & McHardy 18 months ago. It was turned over again three months ago to W. H. Jones. At each successive transfer the price was better than before. There Is a decided feeling In favor of Nelson property, not only locally, but on the outside. Vancouver property is bo high now that it yields low returns on an investment, and a number of Vancouver people are looking this way. Undoubtedly there will be a very brisk movement in Nelson real eBtate after the new year, and values will advance considerably.

They were found strangled In the artist's residence In the Rue de Vaugelrard. Mme. Steinheil was found gagged and bound to a bed. When she recovered sufficiently after the shock, she gave a description of the assassins which, according to her story, numbered four, Inctuulng a red-haired woman. Later Mme. Steinheil told many conflicting stories, and was herself arrested and charged with the crime. The motive was found in her hatred for her step* mother and a desire to rid herself of her husband In order that she might marry Maurice Borderal, a wealthy merchant who had become infatuated with her. The hearings began on November 3 and dramatic scenes have characterized them throughout. STRATHCONA'S DENIAL HARRODS NOT PURCHASING HUDSON'S BAY STORES. SUFFRAGETTE BELABORS WINSTON CHURCHILL WITH WHIP. LONDON, Nov. lB.-Lord Strathcona, when Interview with regard to the rumor thut Harrod's, Limited, had offered the Hudson's Bay company $5,000,000 for its stores in Canada, replied: "Neither as governor of the Hudson's Bay company ■nor privately do I know that Hat-rods have made such itn offer." Replying to further questions lie said: "Yes, Mr. Burbrldge was in Canada this autumn. I met him there, but I am not aware that Hatreds are thinking of anything of the kind." LONDON. Nov. 13.—Deilntte announcement is made In a section of the press here that the government has decided to grant £135,000,000 toward the cost of a railroad trom Colioney, In county Sllgo, to Black- sod bay, as a link In the all-red route fast steamship line to Halifax. The fuct that the Trisli secton of the government and the Irish nationalists strongly favor some such grant In tlie interest of Ireland lends weight to the report, especially seeing the imminence of a generAi election. But Lord Strathcona discredits tlie announcement. He says he has heard nothing of it and thinks It most Improbable. He has always warmly espoused » 2i knot service to Canada under Joint government subsidies. The long 14-hour journey from London to Blacksod including ferry steamship service between tlie west England and the east of Ireland are formidable obstacles in the Blacksod route. BRISTOL, Eng., Nov. 13.-A -.wild-eyed suffragette, armed with a horsewfilD, attacked Winston Spencer Churchill here this afternoon.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—The national horse show is closing its twenty-fourth successful seuson at Madison Square Garden tonight, with a parade of the horses and the final exhibits and awards in the championship classes for harness horses, and hunters. Only horses already awarded first and second prizes were eligible, but these were obliged io appear under penalty of forfeiting their cash prizes and ribbons. Judge William H. Moore swelled his unprecedented total of winners of 22 firsts this afternoon when his bay' geldings, Robert Hood and Wallenstein. took another blue In the class for pairs in harness over 15 hands high. In the same class his Leonidas and Hlldegarde were second. Alfred G.

He covered the distance ln 33 minutes, 10 minutes better than the time made one year ago by Morris K. Hewlett, who finished second this year, three minutes ahead of his own record. The award waB based on the appearance of the teams at the finish, as well as the time. , Commission Reassembles ST.

COLON, Panama, Nov. 13.—A message from BlueBelds, tlio headquarters of the provisional government established By General Estrada, leader of' the Nicaragua*! rebellion, gives tlio results of the recent lighting near the Costa Rlcan border. The wireless says: "Fierce lighting took place on the 10th and 11th at a point near Colorado bay, Boca del Colorado and the San Juan river. General Toledo, with several hundred government troops, who had invaded Costa Mean territory in order to attack the Nlcaraguan rebels w*ho were entrenched along the San Juan river, which forms the boundary between the two republics, wns forced by Costa Rlcans to recross into Nicaragua. Toledo forthwith attacked the rebel troopB under General Chamorro on the Nlcaraguan side of the river. After 35 hours of desperate fighting President Zelaya's troops became panic stricken. Both sides lost heavily In killed and wounded. "The promptness with which the government of Costa Rica expelled tbe Nlcaraguans from Costa Rican territory shows that Zelaya will receive no aid from the republic In the Bouth. This defeat checks the government's advance for some time and Indicates Chtt- morro's ability to hold the San Juan valley. "The provisional government is being maintained in an orderly manner and it is expected that the United States will soon recognize the government of Estrada as an Independent republic." F.C.WADE,K.C.

Giving an Exhaustive Criticism of the Government Railway Policy All Welcome Reserved Seats for Ladies ACCIDENT AT LITTLE DfLLES. Caboose Overturned and Trainmen Injured—-Pole Stops Car. YMIR, B.C., Nov. 13 — Owing to a broken flange on a car heavily loaded with coal, Mr. Killian, conductor ot the local freight, and two brakemen were shaken up pretty badly on Thursday, all sustaining injuries of a greater or less degree. Two cars and the caboose left the track, the latter, which was occupied by the above mentioned employes, turning completely over. Mr. McSherrin will be in the hospital for a couple of weeks and Mr. Kllllan and the other brakeman escaped with several minor bruises and contusions. The caboose .was stopped by a telegraph pole which it came ln contact with, otherwise it would have rolled down a sloping embankment for about 500 feet. The derailment occurred near Little Dalles, between Northport and BoBsburg. Alexander Oliver, socialist nominee tor Ymlr riding, accompanied by Mr. Fitzgerald, addressed a fair sized audience of voters here last Wednesday evening. Both condemned the McBride policy In no unmeasured terms, and particularly that part of it that lias to do with railway construction, claiming that the government should build and control the railway themselves. J. T. Price has completed two bridges near Ymlr that were put in by the government, both being badly needed. One of them was across Quartz creek, and is \_o feet In length, and the other Is across Wild Horse creek, and is 90 feet In length and 20 feet high. Mr. and Mrs. J.
