JUNE 4, 1909 NO. 38 DEEP WATERS Kootenay's Swollen Streams Cause Damage RAILWAY IS DEMORALIZED 8L0CAN RIVER VALLEY BRANCH TORN AWAY FOR LONG SPACE —REPORTS SHOW ALL PART8 OF DISTRICT EAST AND WEST ARE AFFLICTED. The annual rise ol the waters tn Kootenay's lakes and rivers has been long delayed this year, with results that are already serious and may yet grow worse. The water in Kootenay lake Ib still nearly five feet below the high level reached last year, but the rise has only begun and the proportion ot tne snows that have melted to what remains is very small. It is not the height that the water has reached tat has wrought the damage reported now trom every direction, but the euddeness of the rise due to the heavy and warm rains of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, which bave converted harmless looking hill «ide streams into 'dangerous torrents carrying everything from their paths and threatening their banks adn all adjacent land. The damage wrought within 48 hours by a cause aparently so inadequate would be impossible in any part of Canada but British Columbia and incredible to anyone who has never seen a mountain stream, in action. The damage most Immediately felt is the interruption of train and telegraphic service. The railways are practically compelled to follow the luier courses with their tracks and , wires and it Ib along the courses that the damage is done by the tributary streams. In the district ot south west Kootenay four services of the C. P. R. company are temporarily rendered Impossible, those of the Lardeau branch, the Bandon to Roseberry line, the Nelson to Proctor and the Slocan river branch . In addition to these word comes from Cranbrook and Fernle that the main line of the Crow's Nest branch is rendered impassible in several places. The Great Northern line from Spokane to Nelson was the first to go out of commission entirely and the most optimistic estimate Ib only for a possible restoration of the service by next Monday. On the west arm of Kootenay lake the north Bide has practically escaped damage but on the south side in addition to the trouble reported at Troup junction and 13-Mile there was last night a great washout at Harrop. Here the ranch owned by Rev. Mr. Reynolds was almost completely destroyed and the house undermined to such an extent as to cause serious danger of its collapsing. It is difficult to estimate the real extent of the financial loss to Mr. Reynolds but the work of the past two years on the property Is completely lost. The railway track also suffered but will be repaired within a few days time. The washout was caused by floating logs catching in a bridge and blocking the passage of the water. The cause ot the trouble at 3. T. Russell's ranch at 13-Mile was similar, but ln addition to logs a number of rocks were also washed down. Mr. Russel's cottage was destroyed and fields ofi (strawberries and potatoes were completely washed away. Some 50 feet of the C. P. R. track were washed out There was no further damage to either the 0. P. R. or Great Northern track at Troup Junction where about 430 feet in all were destroyed but it will be some days before it will be possible to send trains across the creek responsible for the trouble. Cottonwood creek was yesterday subsiding, through somewhat slowly, a great volume of the water still rushing down at a speed wheh must have approached 30 miles per hour. No danger of the dam giving way Is anticipated. Information from the Lardeau Is meagre but It is stated, apparently on good authority, that the track Is washed out ln three places and. tbat the telegraph service is interrupted. The Sandon-Roseberry line has been put out of commission by a combination of snowsltde and washout. In the Slocan river valley the situation created is peculiar. The C. P. R. track Is washed out near Joseph Patrick's lumber mill and again farther north at Lemon creek, Conductor Bradshaw, with the regular Slocan train, is caught between the two. At Lemon creek many ranches aro destroyed In whole or in part, and ISO feet ot C, P. R. track is washed away. But the greatest disaster to property occurred at the site of Joseph Patrick's lumber mill. There were vague rumors ln circulation yesterday that Mr. Patrick's mill and dam had been swept away. Been at a late hour last night Mr. Lester Patrick declared that the (Inn had suffered no loss beyond a few loose logs.' But the C. P. R, .suffered In the same locality a blow which threatens to leave the Slocan valley without a through railway service tor some time. About 300 feet of track have been swept away, and the whole of the supporting road bed has gone with it. The Slocan river has in tact changed Its channel and washed away through a new bed . It will be necessary to cut a new roadway into the side of the mountain. The house ot A. Campbell was torn from its base and started down stream His ranch and that of Messrs. McDermld and McHardy are badly damaged. A pack train has been formed by George Bourgeois, who made several trips with a team. The following dispatches show the conditions elsewhere ln Kootenay. YMIR, B. C, June 3—The long looked for spring flood became a reality on June 1. The vast piles of accumulated snow ln the mountains, owing to hot weather and rains, descended in torrents, overflowing the banks of the Salmon river and carrying destruc tlon ln its path. It appears that the Great Northern railway company are the heaviest losers, although various lumber operators have suffered considerably, many dams and bridges having been swept away and the main channel ln places being changed entirely and the railroad in places being suspended over a torrent where the main road bed formerly belonged. R. C. Morgan, superintendent and G. G. Smart, general roadmaster, are now between Salmo and Waneta with a large force of men trying to reconstruct northward. It is estimated that they may reach Ymlr by tomorrow afternoon, but from Ymir north the damage irom. a reconstruction point of view may safely be said to be much worse, as the pile driver will have to be put in commission in several places. It Is difficult to say at present Just what the damage may aggregate, but that it will run into the thousands is sure. At the time of writing the river is falling rapidly, although there is still a vast amount of snow in the mountains that must find Its way to the river and there is no assurance that .the worst is over. It is hardly probable tbat trains will be in operation before the first of next week. FERNIE), June 3—The Elk river today reached the highest mark for some years, the water overflowing the banks in several places. It was found necessary to break up two or three heavy log Jams by the use of powder which effectively cleared the channel. The Bnow Is still deep In the mountains and ahe very warm weather Is swelling the small streams into raging torrents, especlaiy as the temperature at night remains high. GRAND .FORKS, June 3—Owing to the heavy rains of the past few days the north and west forks of Kettle river are now swollen beyond their banks. The water is five feet deep along the road in the resident section o nth north fork and both rivers are still rising. The water this year is a month later than usual and is now at the highest .point it has been for even years. CRANBROOK, June 3.—Yesterday afternoon the St. Mary's river rose very rapidly, bo that by the evening water was flowing over the eastern approach to the Mission bridge. This torenoon when Charles Parker and his wife were driving over the 'bridge on their way to town, an immense tamarac tree, with branches and roots, came dashing down and struck one of the piers of the bridge, giving it such a Jar as to lift the bridge several Inches from the piers, but it dropped back into place again. There is .ear that this bridge may suffer serious damage or be washed out entirely. At *ort Steele, on the Kootenay river, the water was eighteen inches deep this morning at the western approach to the bridge, and the large Levett garden tract entirely submerged, '!" »«*.i*r*-■' Fears are entertained that the large number ot logs taken out of the Skookumohuck by the C. P. R. may be lost it the Kootenay continues to rise. -Every precaution has been taken by Mr. Erlckson, who is in charge of the work at the booms at Wardner and' above to have them strengthened ln every way. The Crow's Nest Pass Lumber company at Wardner are feeling sate up to tne present time. The lumbermen lower down the river are In a fairly safe condition, with the exception of Pugh Livingston and the Ross-oaskatoon Lumber company, both firms having many thousands of logs in danger. On tne Elk river many logs have been lost, as It was impossible to hold them1 with the booms, owing to the high stage of the water and the tet^ rific current. The Forster Lumber company, the Fernie Lumber company and e Elk River Lumber company are the chief losers. The Moyle river is raging, and it is understood that one of the East Kootenay Lumber company's dams has given way but no damage has been done to «.eir property at Ryan. ije King Lumber company's mill at Yakh sustained no damage, but was forced to elose down on account of high water. As is usually the ease ta this section, high water nukes, all kinds of trouble for railways. The bridge at Elko was badly damaged rendering ft necessary for the C. P. R. to transfer passengers and baggage to a train run from Fernle to Elko over the Greet* Northen, and in consequence the train from we east did not arrive In Cran- brook last night until 10.80. The Spo- • (OmttUHMt on rw» Un) ONLY ^_ JOKE Correspondent Not Serious About Bill Sloan NOT NEEDED IN VICTORIA LATE JONAH MEMBER GIVES BILL OF HEALTH TO PROVINCIAL LIBERALS—MACKENZIE KING WILL VERY LIKELY BE OP POSED. OTTAWA, June 3—There is no truth in the rumor that William Sloan, the former -member of parliament for Co* mox-Atlin, will enter British Columbia politics as leader of the opposition, Mr. Sloan said when seen: "There is absolutely nothing in it. I am out ot politics and will stay out. Besides, the present leader of the opposition la British Columbia Is satisfactory ln every resepct. Hon. MacKenzte King, the new minister of .abor, has gone to North Waterloo where he will remain for some time. He will take a house in Berlin. The writ for the by-election will be issued shortly, Mr. Fielding leaves today for England in the Interest of the Dominion. The finance minister will also represent Canada at a conference to be held ln the autumn in respect to the West India trade in response to a request by the Imperial government. EXPECTINGJfcTTiIMENT PHILADELPHIA TRACTION MEN READY TO CONFER ALL MOB J0IN6 STRIKERS—THE BURNING OF CARS PHILADELPHIA June 3—"The outlook (or a settlement of the strike of the motormen and conductors of the rapid transit company Ib very bright," said C. C. Pratt, leader of the strikers tonight. Thin declaration, together with state senator McNlchols' statement that the strike would be settled within 24 hours has brought a ray of hope to the thousands of footsore Phlladelphians who bave been plodding to and from their daily toll since Saturday, May 29. The report that tho strike would probably be settled within 24 hours spread like wildfire tonight but not before the rioters In the Kensington district had started on their round of destruction. Early ln the evening a mob of a thousand persons started for the main barn of the transit company for the purpose, they declared, of destroying the structure. Augumented as the march preceded by the time the barn was reached there were already 4,000 persons In the mob. An array of 500 bluecoats had a quieting effect on the would-be rioters and they dispersed after hurling a few stones through the windows of the building. At Broad street and Erie avenue, Thirteenth street and Alleghany avenue and Aleghany avenue and Clearfield streets the demonstrations early In the evening were almost as serious as those In Kens'ng- ton district laBt night. Cars were wrecked, motormen and conductors were beaten and policemen assaulted. Several persons were Injured by stones or clubs. No attempt was made to hum the cars.

It waa announced some time ago that tho arrangements between tho C. P. R, and the Northern Pacific by which C. P. R.- trains have been operated from Simian to Seattlo had not been renewed and it is announced officially today that the service will be terminated tomorrow. The Agassis service which hns proved of the greatest of convenience to local traffic during the winter and spring will be discontinued aftfer Saturday, when the new transcontinental schedule goes into effect His worship mayor Doughs .with Mrs Douglas returned from Seattle this morning alter assisting at, the opening ceremonies of the exposition. The- mayor was loud in his praises of the exposition and the Canadian exhibits In particular. So for as the specific British Columbia and Vancouver exhibits are concerned they are lost to view —by a general distribution throughout the exposition. The Vancouver arch IS not yet completed and will be tho last to be ready. His worship predicts that the fame of the Puget Sound and British -Columbia country will be benefitted Immensely through the exposition. PUT STOPJO FOOLING MR. KINMAN AND SATELLITES MUST BEHAVE GIVE SURETIE8 FOR CONDUCT PENDING TRIAL VCANCOUVER. June 3.-At tbe police court this morning E. F. Klnman was committed for trial on the charge of assault. The first charge was that he had committed an assault on -a police officer, but this wus reduced to common assault. Tlie other cases arising out of the attempt to piove who ham the right to be 'on Deadman's Island wure remanded. The magistrate in the -base of Kinnian fixed ball at $1000, the accused in 50 nnd two sureties ln $2570 each. Wm. Smart was accused of assaulting constable Lowry. The charge In his casu was also reduced to common assault to which he pleaded' not guilty. His case was ulso adjourned till tomorrow and ball wns made the same as In the proceeding case. Victor Newman and David Taylor were charged with felonously cutting down trees on Deadman's Island, the same being part of a public park. In this case Mr. Marsball said that the title of Dead- man's Island was'* seriously called In "question. The city claimed It and his clients held that it was their own property on which they had the right to do as they liked. He was willing, however, to undertake that these men would not go on the island again till the matter was settled. Thfs case was also adjourned and ball was fixed at $400 each, them- selver In $300 each and two sureties in each case of $100 each. COLLEGES OUTLAWED COLORADO AND LELAND STAN FORD PROFESSIONALS BOTH EXPECTED TO COMPETE AT A.-Y. P. EXPOSITION NEW YORK, June 3.-Mujor John J. Dickson, chairman of the national registration committee of the amateur athletic union, today received a telegram from Bert Martin, chairman nt tho registration oommlttoei of the Rocky Mountain association, stating that his committee lias declared professional the University ot Colorado track team 'nnd the Iceland Stanford University irault team. The telegram states that the University of Colorado wlhdrew from the Rocky Mountain association and scheduled mud held a meeting on the dates after the Rocky Mountain championship in defiance of the amateur athletic union without sanction or registration. The suspension of these two huge college track teums will presumably stir up a cantroversary in the west us the Leland Stanford track team expects to compete in tho conference meet In Chicago on June 57th, later in the sen- son the A. A. U. champ onship will take place on the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition grounds and the Stanford university and the University of Colorado teams will be burred from competing. ATLANTIC COiST SAFE MAINE TO FLORIDA WILL BE GUARDED BY BALLOONS SIGNAL CORPS AND ARTILLERY HAVE SCHEME PERFECTED NEW YORK, June 8.—Accord ng to a (Washington special to tlie Trloune, the Atlantic coust from Maine to Florida will soon he protected from lo.elgn Invasion by a squardon of dirigible balloons If congress can bo brought lo see the necessity and value of such defences. This was learned at the war department today where It was found that general James Allen, chief of the signal corps, had been ordered to formulate the plans for such defences and that major George Schuler, had begun the preliminary drawings. It has been decided thnt besides tho protection furnished to jjie coast by the coust •artillery with Its enormous defensive ragouts, the war balloons are necessary for purposes of observation. It is the belief of general Allen that recent tests have demonstrated even to the most conservative members of congress that the balloon and the aeroplane are to play a great part in the armament of every progressive nation and tiio war department has determined that unless the United States begins its development along these lines it Is in danger of falling far behind tho other powers. Thus flar little actual work on the preliminary plans has been done but the' subject has been discussed at great length by the department's aeronautic expels and a tentative agreements has been reported as to the Hues along which tiie work will be taken up. These tentative plans contemplate ellipses of 250 miles each along the const nt the ends of which two houses will he placed ou of range of attacking guns and will be constructed with due regard to tho xoneB of action and bounded by the coast artillery. It is the purpose of the signal corps1 to work entirely In harmony with the const artillery corps and to this end enormous conferences linvfe been held between the heads of the two defensive branches, At each of the stations situated at the end of an ellipse one dirgible balloon will be placed. There will be three balloon houses near tlie station ln case concentration might bo necessary. The danger arises when a lauding is made or when a dirigible Is at anchor, It is contemplated that the balloons will be much Uirgen than those now in use by the signal corps and that tliay will be capable of performing the duties to be Imposed on them in their defense work besides being able to make longer flights. McGlll Honors Americans MONTREAL, June 3,—A special convocation of McGlll college was held this afternoon at MacDonatd's college, Ste Anne de Bellevue, the magnlflcient institution given by sir Wm. MacDonald, at a cost of five million dollars for plat and buildings, to tho province of Quebec, for the teaching of agriculture and the training of teachers. The occasion Is tlie first in the h:Btory of the college which is a part of McGlll university was made the occasion of honoring five men who have been prominent in the development of agriculture and the training of teachers ln the United States and Canada, Hon. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture In the United States cabinet. Glfford Pln- chet, chief foester of tha United States, James Earl Russell, dean for teachers' college, Coumbia university, New York, Dr. Duncan McEachern, former dean of the faculty of comparative medicine, McGlll, and Prof. James W. Robertson, principal of MacDonald college who supervised and planned the development of the Institution. The degree of I* L jl>. was conferred on all those gentlemen. Earl Orey, governor general of Canada was among those present TRUEIMPERIAL R. L. Borden's Criticism of History Text ALL ARE MISREPRESENTED CANADIAN CONSERVATIVE CHIEF SPEAKS IN LONDON EXPRESS ING WHOLESOME VIEW OF DUTIES OF COLONIES TO THE EMPIRE IN PEACE AND WAR. LONDON, June 3.—R. L. Borden, ln an article ln tne Standard ot Empire, calls attention to some striking statements regarding Canada contained ln a recent treatise entitled "The struggle tor American Independence"' Mr. Sydney George Fisher, the author of the treatise, declared that English colonists are "still at the beBt exactly what John Adams and Hamilton, over a hundred years ago, described as political slaves," and that the control of tbe British government over Canada is far more aDSolute than it was before tne American revolution. Mr. Borden describes these statements as "amazing misconceptions," and proceeds to outline the constitutional relations between Canada and the mother and, ln reference to which he writes as foi, lows: "Founded upon the enjoyment of perfect civil and religious liberty, maintained by full powers of self government, moulded by recognized conventions attending growth and development, strengthened both by sentiment nd interest, the voluntary and happy ties which bind Canada to the Empire are not weaker, at least, than those which might be invoked to retain any state within the union. "Growth and development cannot be stayed. New conditions will be evolved which must entail new duties and new responsibilities. But the great races to which the Canadian people trace their ancestry have never been prone to neglect oportunity or to avoid responsibility. And 'the outlook has broadened. In the consciousness of her vast possessions and wonderful resources, in realizing and utilizing her wealth of opportunity for material development, Canada will not fail to turn her eyes to loftier ideals. To accomplish the wise and Just solution of social and economic problems of vital concern and fundamental significance; to ouild up within her borders a virile population animated by an intelligent patriotism; to maintain high standards and ideals In public and public life, to stand for truth, and justice and to make for peace among the nations of the earth, to march with her sister nntlons of the Empire in the vanguard of civilization—that will be the higher task of the Canadian people." It is stated that an opportunity will be taken at the Imperial defence con- ference in July to discuss the question of the establishment of state owned cables. Probably the first Imperial cable will be from Britain to Canada, Mr Lemieux will be supported In the project by representatives of Australia. The report current here yesterday that a famous philanthropist had sub- scribed enough money to secure Hoi- beta's portrait of Christina of Den- ?f '«U,01*,SS of Mllnn' '°r th<- nation was officially confirmed today. VANCOUVERCREDIT HIGH CITIZENS RESENT CRITICISM OF , LONDON PAPER. RECENT DEBENTURE ISSUE SOLD AT GOOD PRICE VANCOUVER, Jnue 3—A vigorous reply was this morning made to the editorial statements appearing In the London Standard regarding the recent sale of Vancouver debentures. Mr. Morgan Jellett, representing the firm of Amellus Jarvls and company joined in criticizing the facts as stated by the London Journal. "I consider the city got an excellent price for its bonds," said Mr. Jellett, "but I believe the good standing which Vancouver enjoys in the London financial world and the general market conditions prevailing at the present time will result In the absorption of the city's issues without difficulty. One reason of tills situation Is that the city has of late been pursuing wise tactlCB with regard to its sale of debentures and has not applied to the bond market since a year ago. The city's credit is also high because Vancouver and Victoria are well and favorably known points of the province to old country investors, and because of the large Investments made by London men of means In the British Columbia Electric railway company. "Tour bonds Just brought $08.20, which will net you a little over $98. This Is five yoints higher than prevailed at your last sale. This, however, ts not such an abnormal advance It Is to be expected that town and city bonds will fluctuate more than provincial debentures and ln the case of a city advancing as rapidly as Vancouver the rise la not out of the way." City Comptroller Baldwin called attention to the fact tnat all the tenders tor the bonds contemplated their mar keting in London. Jarvls, Short & company, h. O'Hara and the Dominion Securities company have offices In that city. Coates & Sons are London peo- .pel, Meredith & company have close connection with large London people nnd all the binders must have been in touch with conditions ln the London bond market. The fact that, with this knowledge, all the tenders were considerably In excess ot 03.29, the proce received last year, and that the offers ot eleven of the firms ranged from 95.79 net to the accepted offer, proves conclusively that there was a general understanding that the bonds could be marketed at considerably higher prices than have prevailed for some time. CHURCH KEEPS CONTROL PRE8BYTERIAN SYNOD RETAINS QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY COLLEGE AUTHORITIES DEMAND PARTIAL LIBERTY. HAMILTON, June 3.—The main feature of today's session of the Presbyterian general assembly was the proposal made to take Queen's University, Kingston, out of the control of the church. The matter was brought up by Dr, Gordon, when he presented the report for the university. After alluding to the fact that total, number of students was 1,15.1, an Increase of 100 over last year, he referred to the matter of separation. The idea had been endorsed by the senate of the university and it asked the assembly to give its consent. The nationalization of Queen's had been started by the lata principal, Dr. Grant, and they were now face to face wih two alternatives, eitner the ohurch must assume a respon sibllity It had not taken on itself or It must grant the request of the senate, Tne church had attempted to raise an endowment of five hundred thousand -..ilars and had failed. He concluded by moving that the matter bo referred to a committee to report at the next assembly. Tlie discussion brought out a good deal of opposition to the proposal. Rev. Dr. Campbell of Montreal stated that he winld ao into no conference which proposed to give n pany rights the church now hal In the university and Rev. Dr. Al matron;- ol itited strenuously to the eoie-te goifir down on lis knees lieforo any Carnegie gcd Prof. .Ionian of Kings- to.i wnmed If know If M0 theological students were tn stand In the way of a tlnnrs- an dothera. Then G. M. McDonneP, K. C. of Kingston, moved that the church retain control of the arts and theological faculties and Hint denomlnalonnl restrictions be removed from the other faculties of the Institution. Tho discussion had not been concluded when the hour for adjournment arrived. FOR MINES IN CHINA MAN WHO RAISED HUGE FUND MURDERED IN CANTON NEWS BROUGHT TO VICTORIA BY SAILORS OF PACIFIC VICTORIA, June 3—With part of her crew down with fever, the British ship Spring Bank of Andrew Weir & Co.. reached port today in tow of the tug Pioneer, 48 days out from Santa Rosalia. Tlie voyage was an ardous one during the trip from Hamburg. The captain's wife, Mrs. Royal, steward Lund and an able seaman died and were buried at sea. Law Sal Kel, tho Chinese official, who", with Charlie Yip, the former Chinese customs inspector at Vancouver, was arrested by mistake at Pittsburg when touring the United States recently canvassing Chinese to buy stock in the Ting Pang Seng, the Heavenly Peace mountain mine, in South China, was murdered at Canton on his arrival from Victoria, according to a cablegram received by local Chinese. The "couple collected $2,700,000 for the development of the mine In the United States, San Francisco, Stockton and Victoria Chinese supplying $200,000 in each city, and large subscriptions were made at Vancouver Portland, Seattle and wherever Chinese were assembled.

OWNTRAMWAY City Property Owners Agree to Buy MAJORITY IS DECISIVE FRANCHISE AND REMNANTS OF EQUIPMENT WILL 800N BE TAKEN OVER—TIME NOW FOR 8ETTLINO QUESTION OF THE DI8POSAL. The Tramway Purchase Bydaw was carried yesterday by the property owners of Nelson by an overwhelming majority, 153 votes being cast ln its favor, and 14 against. The city of -elson will now Issue debentures for $10,000, the sale of which at par has already been arranged for by the present executive of the Nelson Electric Tramway company. By the annual payment for 20 years of $500 interest and about 9360 towards sinking fund the city will become the owner ot the company's franchise beyond as well as within the city limits, of the track, road bed, wires, and of the remains of the equipment at the old Tramway company's substation and car barn, both' of which were destroyed by Are within a few hours of each other In April, 1908. Tho city will also acquire the sites of both structures. The property owners have not committed tho city hy their vote to restoration and operation or the tramway service, nor to any particular disposition of the newly acquired property. The city is now In in a position to con- sler the whole question calmly and without haste. If it be decided not to venture on tramway operation as a municipal enterprise the city Is still in the position of having something tot orfer to any capitalists who wish to try. There are the franchise the road bed and track the overhead equipment and the sites for car sheds and substation. It is also In a position to offer very cheap perhaps free, power for, the operation of the service. The vote yesterday was light as compared with that brought out by former money bylaws. No one worked actively for or against t*e passin,' if th*{ bylaw, and many forgot that it was polling day. he figures were as follows: East word—For. 70; agalnsl. 8. West ward—For, 74; agalnsl. 6. ■ otal—For. IBS; against, 14: majority Tor the 'bylaw of 130 out or 167 vores cast. The vote is probably a fair Index o( ihe views of tlie citizens generally, It Is held by most that Nelson's money Is far from wasted, and that tbe purchase is the only possible way of giving any retain to the owning company, a corporation which has been in existence nearly ten years, and '.vlilch has on the whole deserved well of ,,^.son.

SEATTLE'S BIG EFFORT WHAT ALASKA YUKON PACIFIC HAS TO SHOW, WORLD EXPOSITION— ORIENTAL FEATURES PROMISED. SEATTLE, June 3.—Seattle is filled to almost tne point ot overflow with sightseers, By far the larger part of " crowd has gathered from Wash- " neighboring starts, but ■ -»•»»* ""•■J "a ■, ly from their homes but from the various points or interest in California and Canada. The city itself Is dressed for the carnival as never before. The ■ Canyon streets are, festooned with electric lights and everywhere there Is bunting, picked out with the exposition emblem. Sven the boats ln the harbor are decked out In the exposition colors and the Japanese and American fleets are Keeping open house to all visitors. Now that the exposition la spread and Seattle has had a chance to look It over, It is realised tot the first time Just bow big a show it is. There have been som« large aofoidtog claims made " tt la advance and a good Ut of ImM Kay have sounded ful some, but tt Is a fact that there is everything here that has been announced and a whole lot more that none knew anything at all about until the covers were off the packing boxes and the exhibits revealed. As an Industrial exhibition it is the lats word. Process rather than pro* duct. Is shown, and the result is that the manufacturers' building is filled with whirring machinery, demonstrating the way of making instead of the things made. Prom top to bottom the huge liberal arts palace is jammed with miniature factories turning out tneir wares in full view of the passing crowd. The same is to be said of the agricultural and horticultural side. In the palace of agriculture is the story of the resources, developed and undeveloped, of the west and all ot fruitful Canada. It is laid out by the county, state and province and there Is a pure food show demonstrating; the things to eat that may be made of the raw products shown in other departments. All that any other exposition has had to show of these lines the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific has to show. The manufactures are different only tn that they are down *o the minute and more than ever before they are shown In their evolution. The agrlcultnre exhl bits are the same as other agricultural exhibits have been except that there are more of them and lands are represented that were never shown before. It Is In its Alaska exhibits, its showing from the Orient, its pageant of wonders from jhe south seas, the Straits settlements and the whole equatorial sink that the Seattle fair finds its greatest excuse for being. Never before at an Occidental port has there been so mixed a gathering of strange peoples, nor has any world's fair had them to Bhow. There nre dozens of strange races and almost as many c.i'erent religions. It is safe to say, for a matter of fact, that no exposition ever held has had so much to offer of the picturesque and the strange; certainly none has ever offered euucatloiial value of so high a standard. The exposition "atmosphere" is distinctly Oriental. The flags of the Dragon and the Rising Sun make it so, for Japan and China have taken advantage to tho mil of the opportunity to express their friendship for Uncle Sam and their appreciation of the Pa- clfl's trade possibilities. Japan has one nuge building in a beautiful wooded section o\ the grounds and a whole village down by the shore of take Union where the whole romantic life of the race is lived, China '"as a street of Pekin, showing its banks, business houses, theatres, safes and whatnot. Sibera has sent a w..-Me village of Esquinio and there are head hunters from Benguet and other little brown brothers from the Philippines, who have never before been given meir chance to see their more or less* benevolent Unole Samuel. mere Is another village of strangerB in San Marino, the oldest and tiniest of the world's republic. Their "nation" is only 38 square miles In area but a world of interest has been gathered there and transferred to Seattle and it makes on of the pictures of the ehow. All the essential structures of the exposition have been finished for more than a month. Many of them were completed -before the first of the year. The only uncompleted work connected with the exposition is the motor boat pavillion, out on Lake Washington. W'Uch will not be In demand until August, and the stock show sheds, hidden In n forest of flr on the narrow neck which divides Lake Union from Lake Washington. The stock show is tn be one of the very late events and, Since all tne construction would be hidden from the exposition proper, the buildings were not begun until after the rush of important work had passed.

Golden Text—Faith Is the substance of things hoped for, tbe evidence of things not seen. Heb. xi:l. verses 1-3—In what respects are faith and hone similar? I If a desirable thing Is possessed by faith, does that give as much, or similar, satisfaction, aa the possession of the thing itself? What is the ground for our faith, that "the worlds were framed by the word of Ood"! .Why do we admire the men of faith of past years? Verses 4, 6—Abel had a truly religious nature; now was this nature the result of his faith, or waa Ub faith the result ot his nature? Does thla record mean that Enoch's translation was directly caused by a specific act ot faith, or that his general life of faith made htm such a good man that Ood translated him w-Jiout death? __ Vans 6—Faith Is sometimes based upon outward evidence! sometimes upon personal revelation! sometimes upon Intuition, and sometimes upon composite grounds; what moral or I PERFECTION COCOA (MAPLE LEAF:LA8EL) is the most nourishing thing to begin the day on.

TIE COWAN CO. LIMITED, TORONTO. 124 spiritual qualities, thereore, are nee cesary for becoming a man of faith? (This question must be answered In writing by members of the club.) Why is faith necessary in order to please God? Verse 7—What was Noah's faith based upon, and wherein was his faith meritorious? Verses 8-12What was the differen-ce, if any, between Abraham's faith and that of the Pilgrim fathers, when they left the old country for the American land of promise? I take it that Abraham and the Pilgrim fathers, while in communication with God, felt a drawing to go to the rich country in the distance about which they had heard; that they took ta.s drawing to be te voice of God; and iin this fatlh tfaey started ant;. what evidence is there that their faith was true, and that such faith is always dependable? Verses 13-16—Why is it that all nations and peoples, in all times, sa far as we have any record, believe In, and "desire a better country, that is an heavenly?" Verses 17-19—Give from memory the account of Abraham offering up his son Isaac. What is the particular virtue, In Abraham obeying God in the matter of offering up Isooc? Would it be a virtue or a vice in these days, if any man should do the same thing as Abraham did? Verses 30-21—Suppose the persons mentioned ln these wonderful verses, Isaac, Joseph; Jacob, Moses and Ra- huo, 'had been lacking faith in God, in these critical moments of their lives, wiiat would have been the difference tn the results? Does faith in God always make the present happy, and picture In glowing colors the future? verses 32-40—iHave men distinguished for their faith always been noted ror their goodness? Tills is a thrilling account of the exploits of the man of faith; give me an account of the achievements of men hot"-- for their lack of faith. Lesson for Sunday, June 20th, 1909. —Review. Lesson for June 6. .The power of the tongue. James 3:1-2. . Golden Text—Who so keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles, Prov. 21:23. This chapter continues the thought of tast week's lesson, based on the previous chapter. Verse l—What class of persons are mosti likjeiy to want to rule, or be "masters," those engaged In good works or those who neglect them. Will one who Is ln rapt love with his fellows want to rule or will he judge them harshly? Unfaithful Christians always put up a high standard for others* what effect will that have upon the standard with which God will measure them? (See -att. 7:1-6.) Verse 2—How much of our trouble and how much of the trouble we make for others Is caused by our tongues? If a man does not do any harm by his words U he apt to do any otherwise? If a man says hard and unkind things about his neighbors, and inten- tionally wounds the feelings of others by his words, Is he necessarily a had man? I Is the control of the tongue the key ' to the contdol of the entire man? Verse 3—It takes an Iron hit to control a hone, what is the "bit" which will effectually control the tongue. ..In what respect is an ungoverned tongue like a runaway horse with a broken bit and what are generally the results in each case? (This question must be answered in writing by members of the club.) Verses 4-5j—Is it actually so, thait the tongue is to the man what the rudder is to the ship, that is, does the tongue govern the Influence of the man? Is it necessary at all times to watch our tongues, compelling them to refrain irom wrong wordB and to use right words; just as the man at the wheel of a ship controls the rudder with villlant watchfulness? Ib the tongue capable of setting a church or a neighbohood all ablaze with scandal, just as a match may set fire to a city? Verse 6—What are some of the many "iniquities" with whluii the tongue can cause? Can you recall and mention some of the moral poison emitted by an evil tongue? Do persons with an evil tongue always draw thefr Inspiration from "hell"? . Verses 7-8—Man can do wonderful things, in training animals and con- trollng the forces of nature, but 'cannot "tame" the human tongue, nor destroy its poison; to whom may we apply to have this effectually done? Verses 9-12—If a man uses his tongue both for band and for good, for "blessing and cursing," does this not stamp him as a rank hypocrite? Is is possible for a person with an evil tongue, to be at the same time well pleasing to God? Lesson for Sunday, June 13, 1909: Heroes of Faith. Heb. 11:1-40. .Fifty Prizes Will Be Awarded.

GERMAN LIBERAL DEAD Dr. Theodore Barth, Leader of Radical Group in Reichstag BADEN, Germany, June 3—Dr. Theodore Barth,, leader of one of the radical parties in the German relch- stag, died here last night. Dr. Theodore Barth who has died at Baden, Baden, at the age of sixty, had behind him 35 lull years of work for Liberalism in Germany. He believed in the responsibility of the ministry to parliament in reducing the influence on the government of the landed interest. He was opposed to a too great expenditure of the national energy on naval expansion and the enlargement pf the army, and he favored the equitalblo redistribution qf the parliamentary constituencies and the substitution of the "one man, one vote" principle for the flrstclass property system prevailing in Russia. Dr. Barth has been styled an extreme radical and for some years he had been the leader of the group in the reichstag and he lost Ills seat last election because he gave up a southern district to a friend and ran in a doubtful constituency. He traveled for several months In 1896 with William Jennings Bryan and other American campaigners, studying electoral methods. He also spent a considerable portion "of the year 1907 in America. Colorado Has Volcano GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., June 3— An immense snow bank sixty feet deep, lying on the slope of Mount Elliott, a 1300 foot peak In south westren Colorado, has melted within the past 48 hours and an Immense column of steam is rising from the spot. The cloud of steam Is visible for miles. It' is believed that the phenomenon is caused by a volcanic disturbance. A mine located near the basin and worked four years ago was abandoned owing to Intense heat encountered in the lower levels. The deep snow on the mountain side prevents close investigation.

THOMSON BSW* Bookseller and Stationer ®hej^sitcw*e Published at Nelson Erery Morning Except AWnday, by Newt Publishing Company, Limited W. G, McMOMUS Manager EXPERIMENTAL FARMS. It was announced In a dispatch from Ottawa published in yesterday's Issue oC 'ihe Daily News that Mr. P. T., O'Halloran, deputy minister of agriculture, is shortly to visit the west, British Columbia included, with* a view to the selection of sites for experimental farms. This will be good news to the people of British Columbia, hut particularly to those of the Kootenay and Boundary countries for In the establishment of experimental farms the government cannot overlook this part of the province. iiie need of one or more experimental fruit farms In the-rfnterior has been felt ever since the fruit Industry waB started here, but for some reason or other the government haa consistently refused to provide them. During the recent session of the house, however. Messrs. Goodeve and Burrell took the matter up and now the announcement comes that sites are to be selected- with a view to their purchase by the government for this purpose, In deciding to establish these farms, the Ottawa government is following out the arrangement under which the Dominion has supplied experimental farms in the various provinces as required while the provinces have undertaken to provide the colleges necessary for the teaching of agriculture.. Ontario and Manitoba each have their agricultural colleges maintained by their respective provincial governments, while each also has an experimental ifarin maintained (Wy thp Dominion. Alberta and Saskatchewan are eaoh to have two experimental farms provided hy tue Dominion while agricultural education is to he provided for "by the provincial university which each is establishing, British Columbia has at present an experimental farm at Aggaslz, while the provincial university which Is to he organized shortly will have an agricultural college in connection with It. The government, however, has already done much to assist those who are engaging in agriculture in the province, pending the opening of this college. The one experimental farm provided hy the Dominion, it has long 'been realized, is no longer sufficient. The experiments carried out there apply to only a small portion of the province and are of little or no use to fruit growers in the Kootenay and Boundary countries, for example. It Is to be hoped that Mr. O'Hallor- an s mission will result ln the establishment of one or more experimental fruit farms* in this part of-British Columbia and that the ranchers will no longer be able to complain of neglect of tnelr interests in this respect by the government at Ottawa. SIR WILFRID'S RETIREMENT. Once more the rumor that Sir Wilfrid Laurier contemplates retiring from politics Is going the rounds and Is being more or less generally, discussed In the press. Just what good audi rumor* can do any one Is bard to ly put forward. They do not in any way weaken Sir Wilfrid or the government, nor do tney in any way was assist the cause of the opposition. Sir Wilfrid will not retire from politics, so long as fais health remains and ms party Is in power, No man who has ever been in public life In Canada is fonder of office than he. He likes the position of premier and will hold it as long as he possibly can. In ad- tation Sir Wilfrid has in many ways snown a strong desire to equal the record and emulate the example, so far as circumstances permit, of the great Conservative party leader, Sir John A. Macdonald, ^ir John remained leader of his party as long as he lived and it would be only natural to BUppose that Sir Wilfrid would prefer to do the same, particularly as long as the party remains In power. Whatever may be Sir Wilfrid's views on this matter he cannot' but realize that the government's defeat is in any case only a matter of time and that It is practically certain to follow a change in the leadership of the party, whether as a lesult of his retirement or death. By retaining the premiership he holds his party together and assists in keeping it in power and at the same time gratifies his desire for office and makes possible a striking parallel between the close of his career and that of the great Sir John. ihe leauers of the Conservative party should pay no attention to tne rumors of Sin Wilfrid's retirement, nor, unless they are less aggressive than the situation warrants, will they be content t0 await Sir Wilfrid's death be>ore attaining 'office. Any hopes o, the former they may have will be doomed to disappointment, unless Sir Wilfrid's health should fail, something tnat all Canadians would regret to see happen, and to cherish any aspirations to power based on Sir Wilfrid's death would be ghoulish. It is the duty Ml tae Conservative party to prepare to meet the government In battle array four years nence with Sir Wilfrid at its head, again asking for a chance to finish his work. It le Its duty in the meantime to expose by all means in its power the government's record of graft and corruption and general weakness and to submit to the people a progressive and comprehensive policy that will merit and receive their approval. A victory won in this way over the glvernment led byy Sir Wilfrid Laurier would -he a distinct triumph, such as an accession to power simply as a result of Sir Wilfrid's retirement would not be. To believft that the people of this country would continue to support a party with the record of ...e present government at Ottawa were the facts properly placed before them and that they would prefer to have Sir Wilfrid in power to a partj; pledged to clean and progressive administration -of public affairs is to place an extremely low estimate on Canadian puu.tc opinion. Mr. Borden (;an be depended upon tc take the correct view of the situation and with the loyal support of his party coupled with that of the independent voters who place country before party or personality, should, when the next appeal to the people Is made, succeed in ousting from power a government that has long ago forgotten the pledges on which It was elected to office and that has encouraged and! condoned a feign of graft and corrup- E-.iORIAL NOTES.

He was accompanied by George A. Anderson, his trainer. He took back with him to England the three monster cups he won last year outside of the Olympic games, and which are perpetual challenge cups. The five hundred dollar Harvey Memorial Gold cup for the best all-round runner and the two silver cups emblamatlc of the one hundred and two hundred yards championships. ' "I am feling in the best of condition this spring," said Kerr, "and will take some mild exercise on board the boat. In my running togs I weigh a hundred and forty pounds." "Yvalker ought to be pjretty well acclimatized in England when I get there, but lie had a much longer ride than I. What I will do against him Is hard to say, but of course, If he can do the distance in 9 2-5 none of us will have a chance. There Is one thing 1 would like to put myself straight on in the minds of Canadians Various words and expressions have been attributed to me in connection with Frank Lukeman. Where they came from I do not know, but I do know they are not mine. "I desire to state right here, that If the people of Canada think they are justified in looking upon me as the best runner Canada has at present, Lukeman certainly Is the second best.' Kerr shook hands with many frlepds all of whom wished him the best of luck, HARVARD NOT GOING. Will Not Visit England to Race Cambridge This Year BOSTON, Mass., June 3—Harvard rowing authorities have abandoned any hope of an Oxford-Harvard international boat race In England this year .although for several months negotiations have been in progress tor such a race, providing, of course, that the Crimson crew triumphed over Yale at New .London, July 1. A letter has been received at Cambridge which stated that Oxford has definitely decided not to accept an invitation from Harvard for a varsity race, and that the Englishmen would .break training immediately after the last of the season's fixtures, the Royal Henley regatta. Harvard has been represented ln England in her negotiations for a race by Mr. Higglnson, captain of a former Harvard varsity crew, who Is now in business ln London. Mr. Higglnson has had several conferences with both the old and the new presidenes of tbe Oxford crew, and at one time matters really looked favorable for an International contest. Now, however, comes the information that Oxfrod will go out of training after the Henley re* gatta. This decision is a big disappointment to the members of the Harvard crew and to the Harvard students generally, aB It was felt that a race this year with the crew which had made tbe fastest time ever credited to a varsity eight tor the Putney to Mort Lake course would afford Captain Bacon' smen an opportunity of squaring -accounts for' the Hamad defeat of 1U06, when Captain Filley*s"ight went abroad nnd lost to Cambridge. It so happened that three yeara ago,' wtea the erew went i abroad ■ every ! t-M. tha Harm* varsity wm in a position to defray his own expenses, 'and, while there might have been need this year of a little money to insure the trip, the financing of the journey had been completed. Dufert Handicap MANCHESTER June 3—The Dufert handicap of 500 sovereigns for three year olds and upwards, distance five furlongs ,was run here today and won by Indian Runner. Prospector was second and Hopton third. H. P. Whit- ney's Scalife was among the eleven starters but was unplaced. Neither Could Get Fall. CLEVELAND, June 3—After three hours and 15 minutes wrestling, during which time neither man obtained a fall, Otto Sutter of Cleveland, champion welj>arweight wrestqu- of the world, Was given the decision over John Billlter of Chfcago here last night. When neither man obtained a fall after the two hours and 45 minutes work, It was agreed that they should wrestle 30 mlnctes longer and that the man who displayed the best form should be declared the winner. "One Touch of Nature Makes the Whole World Kin." When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the hens In the farm ,ynrd to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature Is "to be observed when a man discovers something exceptionally good- he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery.
